Although I haven't received specific instructions from the ministry about the next action, I can basically confirm that it has its own plans. The Zoroastrian Inhumans who had finally been able to get their hands were also taken over by the No. 3 Research Institute, and as Ren Yuan said, there was no other way to prepare as much as possible in the future.

"I'm curious." Yu Qian thought for a moment and asked, "If that guy named Yin agrees to cooperate with us, will the higher authorities allow us to take over the interrogation?" ”

"Will let us take over, but we should also be asked to ask the address and combat power ratio of the Zoroastrian Sect in S City as soon as possible." Ren Yuan pouted and said, "If the ministry really plans to speed up the pace of action, then it will be almost enough to get these two pieces of information." ”

"In this way, it doesn't really make a big difference whether you win that alien or not."

"yes, you can't twist your thighs with your arms." Ren Yuan laughed, "We are all just tools for the disaster department, and everything must be centered on the above course of action." ”

"By the way, what does that Inhuman mean by asking for regular independent reality solidification ceremonies?" Yu Qian asked, "Can't we meet this request?" ”

"Of course not." Ren Yuan glanced at the person in front of him and said, "The book I asked you to read, you haven't finished reading it yet?" ”

"Ahh No, wasn't it practicing sniping last week. Yu Qian smiled and said, "Besides, I have forgotten what I have read before, and I am afraid that I will have to make up for it again." ”

"I guess, you weren't a good student when you went to school." Ren Yuan complained

"You fart, I'm just old and my head is a little dull." Yu Qianwu defended himself

"I'll explain it to you briefly, and then you can read the book to understand it. When it comes to this question, it's quite important. I want to think about how to tell you. Ren Yuan knocked on his forehead and thought for a moment, "Well, let's start here." ”

"What do you think of the spells of the immortals and monsters mentioned in the gods and demons?" Ren Yuan asked thoughtlessly

"It's just a story made up by literati, right?" Yu Qian frowned and replied, "Maybe some of them are works that have been reprocessed by authors who have seen strangers?" ”

"So what do you think of the various rituals in religion?" Ren Yuan then asked

"Using the group effect to unite the minds of the congregation? In essence, it's some kind of group hypnosis, right? Yu Qian replied, "And some should be deliberately complicated, so as to facilitate the deception of laymen for profit." ”

"Let's just put it that way." Ren Yuan smiled, "This is indeed a kind of hypnosis and deception, but if we look at it from another angle, isn't this some kind of reality?" ”

"What is fake is fake, how can it become a reality?" Yu Qian was a little puzzled

"For example, look at my hands." Ren Yuan raised his hand, palm facing the former, "It's yellow, right?" ”

"yes."

"But to the dog, it's just whiter than my clothes." Ren Yuan smiled, "You see, the same hand appeared in two different colors at the same time. Both of these colors are true attributes of my hand. ”

"That's because dogs are colorblind and can only distinguish between black and white." Yu Qian shook his head: "Actually, your hands are yellow. ”

"What if, on the other hand, humans are colorblind and dogs are colorblind?" Ren Yuan smiled slyly, "Do you still think that human hands have colors?" ”

"This..."Yu Qian somewhat understood what the former wanted to express

"In the real world, the properties of the hand itself are fixed. However, depending on the method of cognition, completely different conclusions have been formed, and this is because our feelings are different. This is why idealism has become such a philosophical school. Because the world we live in is based on our cognition. ”

"Of course, we can update our observations and keep overturning previous conclusions. But no matter how hard we try, we can only approach objective reality before we reach the 'ultimate', and we can never get the real truth. ”

"Now, let's get back to the question we started with." Ren Yuan snapped his fingers and pulled the former's attention back, "For people who believe in the existence of gods, as long as their own cognitive logic can be self-consistent, then you can't refute their views. Because in essence, neither of you has grasped the real reality, and you can say that you are closer to reality than the other person, but you cannot say that you are right and he is wrong. ”

"You mean to say that no one is right?" Yu Qian listened to it for a long time and still didn't have a clue

"After all, we are all prisoners limited by our own perceptions, so to speak." Ren Yuan smiled, "The cognitive model we form based on experience and experience is the main means to help us understand ourselves and the world, and it is also the cage that restricts us, and it becomes the law that restricts our behavior. ”

The conclusion that most of them come to the same result is called an axiom, and it can be said that this is the common reality in which we live. As for the divergent views, it is our 'independent reality'. We deny each other and then separate individuals. ”

"What else can you say?" Yu Qian smacked his tongue and said, "Is it so metaphysical?" Maybe there are no Inhumans in this world at all, or maybe everyone is Inhuman? ”

"Hahaha, so to speak. No two leaves are exactly the same, are they? Each of us is an individual. Ren Yuan smiled, "Idealistic words, I think, therefore I am, and it is not wrong for you to say that everyone has an 'independent world'." ”

"So, does this have anything to do with the solidification ritual of the inhuman's independent reality?"

"Don't worry, that's it." Ren Yuan patiently explained, "Any reality, only when it is observed, has the value of existence for the observer. If it is not observed, then no matter how exaggerated the reality is, there is no meaning. Why is theism becoming less and less acceptable to the world? Because you can't prove that there's a fire-breathing dragon in your garage that you can't see, touch, hear, smell, or smell. ”

"Even if there are 100,000, millions, even hundreds of millions of people who swear that this dragon exists. No matter how eloquently they described, how they came into close contact with this Charizard. As long as you can't observe this Charizard, this reality doesn't exist for you. ”

"But on the other hand, whether it's a misunderstanding or a real one. As long as you really observe the existence of this Charizard in some way, even if it is actively deceiving yourself. So even if it's really a scam, the reality of Charizard is very meaningful to you. Whether it's naming it, worshipping it as a patron saint, or pouring out prayers to it. In short, the way you perceive will change because of this. ”

"I think I might understand what you mean." Yu Qian showed a somewhat clear look: "I remember that Mr. Nagito once told me that among the three laws of heterogeneous origin, the law of observation and the law of initiation. The influence of the alien on reality is changed by the observer's cognition, and the appearance of the alien reality represents a collection of desires of an individual or organization. In this way, the independent reality of aliens is the same as the process of ordinary people's perception of reality, right? Is it just because the object being observed is not a reality recognized by all, but a reality from an alien source? ”

"Nagito told you about this kind of thing?" Ren Yuan was slightly flustered, and then said with a smile, "What he said is too rough, and the initial law is not the three major laws... I won't talk to you about this here, in short, it roughly means this, the independent reality of the alien is the embodiment of its observations of the alien. For example, although I have observed the reality of being cursed by an alien source for immortality, the people I have come into contact with have also observed this result. ”

"But in fact, just because we can only observe this point, there is no guarantee that we can come to the same conclusion from another perspective. It's like if you go to a movie, and what the characters in the movie think of as reality seems to you to be nothing more than a stack of countless pixels. The reincarnation that the characters in the plot can never get rid of, as soon as you reach out and cover the projector, it disappears immediately. ”

"So, the independent reality solidification ritual that Yin requires, is to find a bunch of people to watch him perform his independent reality?" Yu Qian was stunned

"Ah, that's how to put it simply."

"Does this really work?" Yu Qian asked puzzled

"Of course, the operation is not so simple, and other catalysts must be used to assist." Ren Yuan chuckled and said, "Suppose an Inhuman survives after coming into contact with an Alien and identifies the reality he observes as being able to discharge electricity from his hands. Then he naturally has the ability to discharge under his own independent reality. But here's the question, is it really as simple as a discharge that he saw? ”

"Probably not...," Yu Qian said hesitantly, "Doesn't the book say that the reality of the alien origin is completely incomprehensible?" ”

"Clever." Ren Yuan applauded, "It's like with the advancement of science and technology, the power of religion will become weaker and weaker." This is because of the escalation of observation methods, we are getting closer and closer to the ultimate truth. Realizing that we thought there was a fire-breathing dragon in the garage, those corroborative clues were just that the fire and sound of the car when it started were misunderstood in the rumors. The axioms that were recognized by everyone a hundred years ago may be completely overturned a hundred years later. Reality is not eternal. ”

This process also happens to the aliens, whose own independent reality conflicts with the universal reality, and they are unable to stabilize their cognition through reality. On the other hand, with the increase of time and the deepening of cognition, independent reality will become closer and closer to the reality of the alien source, and finally be completely alienated. ”

"Remember when I asked you at the beginning, what do you think of gods and demons, monsters, and religious ceremonies? You see a lot of fantasy stories, you have to press a specific ability for the gods. For example, sending a child Guanyin can make people pregnant, the Dragon King of the East China Sea can travel clouds and rain, and the Thunder Male and Electric Mother can shoot thunderbolts. These are all means of solidifying independent reality. ”

"For those who do not wish to lose themselves and become completely alienated, they can only consolidate themselves by polluting reality in turn. Let more individuals observe and recognize their own independent reality, and recognize the authenticity of their own independent reality. In this way, we can consolidate our cognition. Ren Yuan said meaningfully, "Therefore, people can make gods." Worship and belief have the power to change reality. For example, some traditional festivals, traditional customs, etc., are all 'independent realities' created by human beings. ”

"You mean to say that myths and legends are all Inhumans?" Yu Qian was shocked

"It's a chicken-and-egg problem. Whether the myth and legend is a biography of an Inhuman, I don't know. But it is true that the Inhumans will borrow this model to collect the power of believers' faith and consolidate their own independent reality. "Ren Yuandao" So as long as the Inhumans are alive and seen, it is equivalent to eroding and destroying the world, which is the original sin borne by every Inhuman. ”

"That's why Adventism always comes in the form of a religion. This is also the reason why the Inhumans of the Thunder Dragon Brigade rarely stabilize their independent reality for more than ten years, while the Inhumans of the Advent faction tend to hold out for much longer. ”

"I see." Yu Qian lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and suddenly said softly, "Could the world we are in also be an alien 'independent world'?" ”

After a moment of silence, Ren Yuan smiled silently, "Who knows..."
