Verse 3: Barriers, the Spiritual World (Medium)

————————————————————————————————————————————————

Man, in a sense, is quite a spiritually dependent creature.

When people are on the verge of death, they are often accompanied by all kinds of unbelievable feelings, such as consciousness detached from the body, standing somewhere and observing their own body, as if it were a feather; Or the perception of time disappears, and they keep going in and out of their own bodies, and no matter how hard they try, they can't communicate with others, and they have a strong sense of isolation and loneliness. If you die in the hospital, you may have heard doctors and others at the scene declare you dead before that, and you feel like you're going to the limit of your physical exhaustion, and then have a very special "near-death experience":

First you will feel a flash of pain, then you will find yourself suspended in a dark dimension, and a sense of comfort that you have never felt before, peaceful and serene, pleasant. At the time of "NDE" or "Dying", one may hear a tune similar to that wafting in, which is very beautiful; It is also possible to be suddenly pulled into a dark space, like a cylinder without air, or like a transition zone, with the present world on one side and the exotic land on the other.

You try to tell others about your predicament, but no one hears you, but your sense of sight and hearing is more sensitive than ever, and then there are other "people" around you. Either they are here to help you make your transition to the land of the dead, or they are here to tell you that your death knell has not yet sounded and that you will go back and stay for a while.

In the final moments of the "NDE", there will be a light in front of him, and the light has a certain "humanity", a very clear "humanity", and the person concerned will do a panoramic review of his life, scene after scene, moving in chronological order of events, and even accompanied by the picture, the feelings and emotions of the past can be re-experienced.

At the same time, you'll come across something like an "edge" or "boundary" that blocks you from going somewhere, and it can be in the form of a pool of water, a cloud of smoke, a door, a fence in the wilderness, or a line. If you are fortunate enough to be resuscitated, your consciousness must "come back" after the NDE has progressed to some point. At first, many people want to return to their bodies as soon as possible, but as the NDE progresses, you gradually reject returning to your original body, which is especially intense if you encounter the presence of light......

The above is the truth of death that the famous American psychologist Dr. Raymond Moody tried to uncover for people after studying the cases of 150 near-death experiencers, that is, people who experienced "clinical death" and were eventually resurrected.

However, none of this happened to Xiaozhou in the slightest.

Maybe it's because of the non-real death he experienced, or maybe the near-death experience only happened on Earth, all in all, Xiaozhou's wandering consciousness didn't feel any comfort and pleasure, and some were just unwilling and resentful to die at the hands of the soldiers of the United E Division: the guy who doesn't play his cards according to the routine, when he returns to the real world to call his brothers, he will definitely go to the phantom limb realm again, turn the American power array over, and make you two dogs look good!!

……

I felt that after a long time, there was another "swish" sound in my head, but this time Xiaozhou was not "pressed by the ghost", but directly opened his eyes and sat up. There are no laboratory instruments and equipment in the gradually clear vision, it seems that he is still in the base of "Guanghan Palace No. 1", the room is still the same room, except that the bed board is taken away and he can only wake up from the ground and this time he is not naked in clothes, the clean and tidy tables and chairs around him are exactly the same as those seen before!

“You’ve gotta be 【s h i t t i n g】 me...”

Could it be that the consciousness of the person who died in the phantom limb realm does not withdraw, but wakes up again from this room that serves as an "inventory point"?! For the first time in his life, Xiaozhou felt the invasion from despair, and at this time, a voice sounded in his mind: "The waves are for the ship that cleaves the wind and waves, and it is also for the funeral of the light boat that drifts with the waves." Enjoy your nightmares, Zhang, Xiao and Zhou. ”

It turned out that the words I heard between reality and fiction were not hallucinations.

Since death cannot remove consciousness from the realm of phantom limbs, there is only one explanation left for Xinyue's disappearance on Marabert Mountain: she did not suffer any accidents, but deliberately left herself behind to return to the real world.

If I guessed correctly, this matter was a game of Mu Xinyuebu from the beginning, and she took herself to visit the star science base at night for no reason, and aroused her curiosity about high-tech step by step, in order to trap people in this extremely real phantom limb barrier! She clearly knows her identity as the "24 solar terms", but she doesn't know this so-called senior sister at all, who she is, and what is the ultimate purpose of doing this?!

Xiao Zhou, who was full of doubts but annoyed because he couldn't get an answer, angrily smashed his fist into the titanium alloy wall beside him, but the result was a sharp pain in his knuckles, and he felt that his bones were cracked in an instant.

“Fuck!!!”

Xiao Zhou rushed out of the room with his injured right hand in a frenzy, found the heavy robot parked in the central hall, boarded the control cabin, and raised his two arms to hammer everything that could be destroyed in the rest area! Sometimes, your bad mood is not the result of a difficult situation in the present, but a premonition that the future will make you feel fearful.

The internal security personnel of the base are not equipped with power weapons, and there is no way to deal with the mecha rampage in the preset program, and the angry "Tourist 0027" is expressionless to use the hand of the heavy robot to smash and vent on his own turf, as if the whole process has nothing to do with himself. More than ten minutes later, Xiao Zhou suddenly had an idea in his heart, and immediately stopped the violent demolition of the base under his feet.

Looking down at the navigator Shu Yixi and silently picking up the documents scattered on the ground, Xiao Zhou suddenly felt that his behavior was a little sorry for the staff here, although they were just simulators who couldn't communicate, but because of this, at least they wouldn't deliberately deceive and calculate themselves. If you have already determined who is behind the scenes, you should stabilize your emotions and keep your mind calm so that you can find an opportunity to grab the fox tail! However, there is another thing at the moment, which must be done first by myself......

The orange and yellow warning lights continued to rotate and shine, and the giant chimeric door directly south of the "Guanghan Palace No. 1" for large vehicles to enter and exit was activated, and slowly opened left and right like a curtain made of steel. Under the intertwining of the internal lights and the peripheral searchlight facilities, the heavy robot with two additional energy reserve boxes on its back, equipped with a full-body power armor, stepped out of the base and walked straight towards Malabert Mountain one step at a time.

At this time, the robot with an overall height of more than 8 meters and an empty weight of 50 tons is no longer an auxiliary transport vehicle, and it is used as a war machine for personal revenge by Xiaozhou, the purpose of which is to make the two damned soldiers of the United States Division pay for their actions by turning their heads!

The moon was trembling, as if a vacuum was burning. yes, that guy is coming again......

As the saying goes, there are only three things, and the first two visits to the United States "Whale Fall" power generation array were planted without any suspense, and this time, there is a heavy robot with hand-to-hand combat strength far exceeding that of power armor to participate in the town, and there is no reason for someone to lose again. However, after controlling and sitting down "King Kong" to climb Mount Malabert, Xiaozhou did not immediately attack the target not far away, but glanced at the bed board erected at his feet, which clearly wrote the sentence "I'll be back".

This was supposed to be able to leave the phantom limb field smoothly before leaving, and before leaving, he deliberately borrowed the classic dialogue in the famous movie "The Terminator" to silence his life, who knew that now he became a prophecy, not only did he not return to the real world, but he was silenced by life, so that at this moment, when he saw this ironic epitaph, he didn't hit one place, and decisively raised the mechanical soles and trampled it into pieces!

The guards on duty of the E United States Division hurriedly rushed out of the sentry post, but they didn't know how to stop it, just when the two of them stood in a daze in the face of the behemoth, Xiao Zhou raised his meteorite-like fist, and with a single blow from top to bottom, the entire outpost was easily smashed into a discus. Seeing this, the two guards on duty reacted quickly and obediently raised their hands......

"Yo-ho?! You simulators still have this IQ, and you actually know that if you can't win, you have to surrender? Xiao Zhou didn't expect the other party's program to be so funny, but since he came to take revenge, he would not change his original intention because of anything, anyway, they are not prisoners of war in the real sense, and they are not bound by the Geneva Convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War.

The heavy object robot stretched out a solid index finger thicker than a rolling pin, poked in the chest of the guard on duty who had previously used the alloy to turn his head to send Xiaozhou to read the file, and pressed it on his back while constantly rubbing it to the ground, as the damaged power armor lost its airtight protection, the internal operators exposed to the low-pressure vacuum soon lost their voice, and the whole process was like crushing an ant to death, and the other party had no power to fight back at all.

After returning the favor to others in the same way, Xiaozhou grabbed another captive and carefully placed him on the edge of the cliff, looked at the distance and angle, and kicked him away like a goal......

At the same time, in the phantom limb technology laboratory of the star science base of the Huagui Military Science and Technology Academy, Xin Yue had just adjusted the time passage of the phantom limb field to the same as the real world when she saw this absurd scene of bullying, and she felt funny in her heart, and felt a little afraid of Xiaozhou's revenge character, and couldn't help but turn her head to look at Zhou Yejing, who was silent beside her: "You said that if we do this, will he be angry when he comes out?" ”

Ye Jing smiled coldly when she heard this: "Now you know that you are afraid?" You're going to listen to me earlier, turn off all the functions in the realm, and he still has this chance to mess around? ”

"That would drive him crazy. We are only entrusted with a little punishment by others, and we don't really want to treat him. Xinyue got up and looked at her watch, less than half an hour had passed since Xiaozhou entered the phantom limb realm, but the people in it had spent a full four days, "You help take care of it, I'll go to the bathroom, his brain waves are sometimes unstable, be careful not to have any problems." ”

What could go wrong and become a vegetative person and never wake up again? Ye Jing snorted coldly at this, and waved her hand to signal Xinyue to go quickly, don't worry about it here. But when Xinyue walked into the laboratory again, she found that something was wrong with Xiao Zhou on the phantom limb imaging screen: he was squatting alone in the corner, his elbows were pillowing his knees, his head was buried very low, and he seemed to be in a very bad mood and state.

At first, Xinyue thought that someone was crazy and went back to the "Guanghan Palace No. 1" base to slaughter all the NPCs that could be killed, but when she saw Xiaozhou raise her head and look haggard, she realized that things were not as simple as she imagined. At this time, Ye Jing suddenly left the monitoring station where he was, turned to the brainwave sensing area, adjusted the seat to a comfortable inclination and lay down: "Send me in, I don't want to delay our time for this guy's." ”

It turned out that while he was in the toilet, Ye Jing had sped up the time flow in the phantom limb realm again, and also stopped the AI program and removed the simulator, and the screen information showed that Xiao Zhou had spent 700 hours in the illusion prison that had lost all means of leisure and entertainment, which had been nearly a month.

"Oh my God......"

The laboratory clearly stipulates that the ratio of time between students in the phantom limb field and the real world cannot exceed 500 to one, and the larger the ratio, the shorter the time spent in the phantom limb field must be controlled, because the so-called different time streams are actually the difference in the amount and speed of the brain receiving and processing information at the same time, if it exceeds the limits of human beings, it will have an unpredictable impact on the brain, and may even cause death, just like excessive memory usage will lead to an abnormal increase in CPU temperature, and then shorten the service life of the computer.

But now, Xiao Zhou's brain is burdened by three times the normal range, and if he is not taken out as soon as possible, the consequences may be unimaginable...... Ye Jing understood Xinyue's blaming look from the console, but she didn't think it was a big deal for her to do so, and only put on the physical signs monitoring device and brain helmet after she adjusted the time flow back to normal, ready to complete her mission.

Soon, with the activation of the nerve block function, Ye Jing consciously entered the base of "Guanghangong No. 1", and found Xiaozhou in the corner of the space farm for 29 days according to Xinyue's voice prompts.

Since the last successful revenge on Malabert Mountain, someone who was very happy and sad has never encountered a good thing: first, the heavy robot that relied on it to open the way lost its reaction inexplicably when it still had energy, and had to return to the base on foot, but unexpectedly, the roads around the base were closed, and the outer guards disappeared, so that Xiaozhou ran out of oxygen in the power armor outdoors, and once again experienced the uncomfortable suffocation "death".

Waking up from the dark living quarters, Xiao Zhou found that most of the base's functions were paralyzed, even the artificial sunlight system and daily lighting facilities were not spared, and it felt like going to hell when he couldn't see his fingers. Fortunately, the pressure door connecting the various areas lost power and opened, otherwise you would be trapped in the starting room without a trace of light, and the effect would be equivalent to confinement. In the end, Xiaozhou can only come to the space farm in the dark with his past memories, because all the top structures here are transparent and can receive maximum sunlight.

There are no people and things around to communicate with each other, in such an environment, even if a person who doesn't like to talk to himself, he will unconsciously try and get used to talking to himself, so when the figure of Jingqi Hua Yaocao appeared leisurely in front of a banana forest bred in space, Xiaozhou, who only looked down and thought about it, did not find her existence.

Ye Jing stopped cautiously, not because she was afraid of the target person whose mental state was unknown, but because she saw leftover banana peels scattered everywhere on the ground within a radius of dozens of meters with Xiaozhou as the center, she felt that she couldn't get off for a while.

It seems that after a long lack of social interaction, humans will also degenerate into monkeys......

The only fun of Xiaozhou during this time is to use the inexhaustible variety of large bananas as building blocks to build all kinds of strange things, and then send them all into the stomach, after all, it is the only fruit on the farm, and it is not too unpalatable without cooking seasoning. Ye Jing observed for a while, and saw that he did not react to his arrival at all, so he simply picked a banana that was thicker than the return mark made by the Australian aborigines and flew directly into Xiaozhou's head.

That was Zhou Yejing, another acting instructor of ......'s "Europa" class and a former military training leader in charge of the female soldier phalanx?

I thought that Xiao Zhou would rush over like a savior and beg him to take him out, but the fact is that he didn't take a step forward, nor did he take the initiative to speak, and the whole person stared at him motionlessly, his eyes were full of vigilance and distrust.

"Hmph, some people are still worried that you will have a mental breakdown if you stay in the phantom limb realm for a long time, but I think you are quite happy eating, drinking, and having fun." Ye Jing opened with a habitual cold snort, which made the following words sound completely sarcastic to Xiao Zhou: "You and Mu Xinyue are together, you are trying to trick me here, what do you want?" ”

"We?" Ye Jing let out a sneer, "Don't compare me to that good old man, if she hadn't stopped me, according to my will, an unruly scourge like you would have finally come in, so I'll be locked up for a few years." ”

……

"However, since you are a member of the special operations team under Long Jiayu, we can't help but give face to the general, as long as you promise not to [violate] the rules of the Huagui Military Science and Technology Academy and obey the instructor's instructions and arrangements in everything in the future, I can take you out immediately."

For a long time, their purpose is just for this......

For this trivial reason, they allowed themselves to languish alone for nearly thirty days in the phantom limb realm where they wanted nothing under their feet?!

“Fuck... you.”

Xiao Zhou's answer slowly squeezed out from between his teeth, Ye Jing understood it, but because it was unexpected, he asked for confirmation again: "You, what did you say?" ”

"I said you MD!!"

Xiaozhou rarely speaks in Chinese, and the object of such an ugly scolding is still a girl. Putting aside all the pain I have endured for a month, even without all this, I will never be threatened in this life: "Think that these indiscriminate methods will make me submit? Less TM daydreaming! ”

"Really?" In this life, Ye Jing has never been willing to talk to others: "Then I will come back in a year, and then ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years, and you-do it yourself." ”

After saying everything, Ye Jing raised his hand to leave the phantom limb realm, Xiao Zhou rushed over to snatch his wrist operation end, but stepped on the peel he threw and slipped hard, and when he stood up and looked at it again, only the other party's contemptuous cold face was left in his eyes, and then he disappeared into the banana forest with the mottled shadows of the space farm in an instant......

Ye Jing woke up from the laboratory, and after Xinyue took off her brain helmet, she immediately expressed her dissatisfaction with her behavior just now: "You know that people eat soft and not hard, why do you want to scare him?" ”

"Yo, how long have you known each other, and you're in a hurry to help outsiders talk?" Ye Jing put on the coat she had taken off earlier, and was about to go to the vending machine outside to buy some drinks for herself and Xinyue, but before she could reach the door, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded from the console behind her: the instrument detected the vigorous activity of Xiao Zhou's brain, abnormal discharge of brain waves, and his body, which had most of his nerve function blocked, began to regain consciousness, but it was accompanied by convulsions of limbs similar to epileptic seizures......

Ye Jing was shocked by the sudden change, since the establishment of the Phantom Limb Laboratory, nothing like this has ever happened! At this time, Xiao Zhou's expression on the big screen was extremely painful, but the root cause of all this seemed not to be in the real world, but from his own consciousness in the phantom limb realm!

The dense banana trees planted in the space farm are flickering in and out, the surrounding titanium alloy walls are faintly showing grid fine lines, and the original daytime starry sky above the head has suddenly turned into a black cloth.

And Xiao Zhou, who was at the center of all the anomalies, was not disturbed by the changes and turmoil in the outside world at all, and only buried his head in urging his spirit, while the blue tendons on his face continued to spread, his resentful upper and lower teeth were almost crushed:

"I ...... Never...... I'm trapped here by you......"

Xiao Zhou slowly raised his head, and through his bloodshot terrifying eyes, he clearly conveyed the belief and determination in his heart to the joy and night silence in front of the phantom limb imaging screen:

You love the way I look at you(While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through)

You like me looking at you like this (like I falling into your trap)

You take away if I give in

You let go when I give in

My life

My life

My pride is broken

My self-esteem has been ruined by you

You like to think you're never wrong(You live what you learn)

You think you're right (you're that)

You have to act like you're someone(You live what you learn)

You have to act like someone (that's who you are)

You want someone to hurt like you(You live what you learn)

You want someone to get hurt like you (that's the kind of person you are)

You want to share what you've been through(You live what you learn)

You want someone to hear you talk about the past (you are such a person)

You love the things I say I'll do(The way I'll hurt myself again just to get back at you)

You like to push things on me (sooner or later, I'll settle accounts with you at any cost)

You take away when I give in

I won't let you go until I give in

My life

My life

My pride is broken

My self-esteem has been ruined by you

You like to think you're never wrong(You live what you learn)

You think you're right (you're that)

Who do you think you are (you are such a person)

Who do you think will empathize with you (you are such a person)

You want to share what you've been through(You live what you learn)

Who do you think will listen to you talk about the past (you are such a person)

"Wake me up - Zhang Xiaozhou!!"

With a roar of earth-shattering power, the phantom limb imaging screen suddenly went black in an instant, and a few seconds later, the main power supply of the laboratory was short-circuited, the emergency insurance on the floor was activated, and the entire astral base suddenly fell into darkness. Almost at the same time, Xiao Zhou lost consciousness in the phantom limb realm, and his vision fell into a cannibalistic darkness......

It felt like it was floating for a long time in a state of physical and mental detachment, with no light around it and no objects around. Just when Xiao Zhou thought that he was dead and just his soul was leaving his body, a strange female voice suddenly sounded in his head:

{You are the first person with enough power to enter my spiritual world.} }

{What, who are you?} Where am I? }

Xiao Zhou wanted to open his mouth to speak, but he couldn't make a sound, but the meaning he wanted to express was still transmitted to the other party through a special gravitational force, and he quickly received an answer in his mind.

{I don't know who I am.} As I said, you are in my spiritual world, and if you can't understand it in such a state, then we can talk to it in a different way......}

Before the words fell, a huge metal gate appeared out of thin air in front of Xiaozhou, and after the gravity was restored, there was a real sense of landing under his feet. The door, which was not visible at all in the complete darkness, opened up and down in an M-shape, and a large burst of light suddenly burst out from inside, so that Xiaozhou could barely open his eyes.

Could it be that this is the legendary "Gate of Hell"......
