118. Group dreams
The cuckoo laughed and walked towards Aoki step by step, but strangely, the distance between her and Aoki was narrowing, as if she was retreating.
It didn't take long for a wide underground river to appear between her and Aoki. On the cliff face by the river hung many iron cages, half submerged in water and half exposed.
There were people locked up in the cage, most of them unkempt, some lying on the iron railing wailing for help, some looking at the people outside with resentful eyes, some with numb expressions and not saying a word, and some hanging upside down on the top of the cage like an ape.
Aoki knew the people who were locked up in the cage recently, and one of them was the crazy beggar who saved the poppy, and the family of Han Laizi.
The mad beggar hung the iron bar on top of the cage with both hands, and looked down at the slowly rising underground river. When Cuckoo and Aoki appeared, he just glanced at them and lowered his head again, like an orangutan in a zoo who is used to seeing visitors.
But Han Raiko shouted desperately: "Aoki! You're Aoki-sensei! Right? That's what it's called, right? I'm Han Laizi, get me out! I know that it was me who was wrong, that I was wrong! ”
He slapped himself hard with his hand, "I shouldn't have bought a woman, I know it's illegal, I'm wrong!" It's all the medicine woman who harmed me! He twitched his face again, "I shouldn't have chased you, I shouldn't have beaten Officer Shi!" I'm not human! I was wrong! I'm willing to be punished, I'm going to jail! Get me out! ”
Seeing these people, Aoki wondered even more about the source of this dream he was in.
He had always suspected that this was a dream made by Dewar, but how could Dewar know Hanraiko? Han Laizi is just a little person who has bought a woman with Yao Po in Yuziba, and he can't even be called a minion.
No matter how powerful a person is, it is impossible to create a person in her dreams who does not know but who really exists in the world. For a person like Han Laizi, don't talk about Dewar, even Du Juan is probably too lazy to take a look, how can he create such a character in his dreams?
What's more, this can't create any psychological obstacles for Aoki, if you want to confuse him, you should create a Shi Dazhuang or Yu Meiren to come out.
Then there is only one possibility, Han Laizi is indeed in this dream.
The people here, including Han Laizi and the madman, as well as Han Bo, who looked like he was dead in the cave just now, are all real consciousnesses.
They're all in the same dream, or they're having the same dream.
It's a group dream!
Aoki couldn't help but frown.
No matter how strong a person is, his spiritual power is also limited, and the dream space that can be created is also limited, but if the spiritual power of many people is superimposed, or in other words, the dream space of many people is connected, then even if they are ordinary people, they can create a very large dream space.
But such dreams exist only in theory.
In reality, it is almost impossible to make two people have the same dream. Because everything in the dream space is created by self-consciousness, including the rules of space. The fact that two people's dreams are connected without collapsing means that they have to build everything in their dreams on the basis of the same rules. As soon as there is any conflict over the rules, the dream will collapse.
Just like computer software, there must be a unified underlying architecture, using unified computer language rules, and the programs developed on the basis of it can be compatible with the system, otherwise it will not be able to run due to conflicts, or even cause the system to crash.
Although human beings themselves are influenced by the collective subconscious, it is easy to form a group consciousness in certain environments. For example, when we go to a concert, it is easy to fall into madness due to the emotions of the people around us, even if you are not a fan at all. You brandished glow sticks and shouted hoarsely, not calming down until the crowd dispersed at the end of the concert, remembering that your actions were like a dream.
Therefore, many celebrity agencies will hire some professional "fans", but they are afraid of being cold when they start singing. People's emotions are infectious, once they are cold, they will always be cold, it is very difficult to save the scene, and once people's emotions are ignited, the scene will become more and more hot.
Any mind control guru can easily control the emotions of the crowd, thus creating a strong sense of group. A powerful hypnotist can perform group hypnosis in a crowded place, making thousands of people react or act subconsciously, but it is difficult to construct a group dream on this basis.
Unless there is a person with extremely strong mental power, who first creates a huge dream, and then keeps bringing others into this dream, and directing these people's consciousness to develop their own dreams on the basis of following the rules of his main dream space.
It's like recreating a world.
If there is one man who brings the whole world into the same dream, then he is God!
……
Han Raiko obviously didn't realize that he was dreaming, and he was still there desperately shouting, begging Aoki to save him for a while, and begging Yakura to let him go.
His unconscious behavior is actually helping to expand and perpetuate the dream, and he has agreed with all the rules of the dream.
"Everyone who enters here will be put in a cage." The cuckoo's body floated in mid-air against the cliff wall, "Do you know what the ending will be?" ”
"Drowned?" Aoki said as he looked at the slowly rising underground river.
He knew that it was impossible for these people to escape from the cage because their subconscious accepted the rules of this dream realm. Even if any of them came to their senses, they would not have the strong spiritual power to break this rule and escape.
"Huh, drowning? You think it's that simple? Cuckoo was unimpressed by Aoki's answer.
The water level of the underground river continued to rise, and in a short time it rose to a position only about ten centimeters from the top of the cage. Everyone in the cage floated, their hands grasping the iron bar on top of the cage, their heads tilted, their noses exposed on the water, and breathing hard.
Aoki looked at the madman who had been hanging from the top of the cage before, obviously he had known that the water level would rise, and Han Laizi and the others were a little caught off guard and choked on several mouthfuls of water.
The person who was crazy in Mandian looked more like a normal person here.
"I see, it's a madman's hole." Aoki looked at the cages that lined up along the underground river with no end in sight and said, "Only a madman looks normal here, and a normal person becomes like a madman once he is locked in." ”
"When a normal person who looks like a madman has been locked up here for a long time, first of all, because of the influence of the 'black house' effect, his consciousness itself will slowly go crazy, and after he slowly accepts the rules of this space, his own self-consciousness will gradually be lost, and he can no longer retrieve memories that do not conform to this rule, so he will become a puppet real madman."
"You are using these madmen to carry out criminal activities, and let them help you transport drugs, stalk, and even kill people and set fires. These people are not conscious, so they will not resist, they are not afraid of danger, and they will do whatever you ask them to do. And because they are mentally ill, they can well avoid the eyes of the police and the punishment of the law. ”
"What a seamless criminal plan!"
