The gray fog is dissipating, and I don't know why, it seems that the temporary hedging space has been lifted, but the route to the water tower has encountered an accident, and the gunfire in that direction has suddenly exploded, and when I hear it, I know that it is definitely not a good situation. No one, including me, understands what caused this change, but it is not a problem to think about the situation that may exist through my own experience.

"These fogs...... There must be a problem, right? The fitness instructor confirmed to us, "Whether it's hallucinogenic or whatever, but the fog looks like a standard." ”

"Maybe." Dr. Nguyen Le said, "That kind of fog is not normal just by looking at the color. ”

"So, now don't we have to worry about hallucinations?" Mitsukasuo hesitated for a moment and said.

"If the dissipation of the fog was only related to time, then we would have just had to wait a little bit and not have to take any medicine at all." "Personally," said the soothsayer, "I prefer that even if the fog clears, the hallucinogenic effect will not fade so quickly. The illusion of the battle over there may be the fuse. ”

"However, it cannot be denied that the hallucinogenic effect will decrease over time." Mitsukasu hurriedly said: "Although we don't know which side of the people who are fighting is righteous, but because it may be a hallucinogenic effect to guide the battle, there are no enemies and friends at all." Isn't the reason why we take medicine because hallucinations may make us friend and foe? I feel that if we rush past now, we will only be drawn into a meaningless battle. If you want to distinguish between friend and foe, it is better to wait until time has passed. He said, looking around. He added: "The fog dissipates quickly, and I think it's good to stay where you are." ”

Others other than Dr. Nguyen Le agreed with Mitsukasuka. Dr. Nguyen Li's suggestion is indeed to take a big risk, and no one knows whether the hallucinogenic reaction will make people become indistinguishable from the enemy. Judging by the previous encounters. This is very likely, otherwise it doesn't make sense, why psychologists who have nothing to do with it in private would die, and the clues left at the scene of death don't look like the murderer was selfish, premeditated murder, combined with the assumption of hallucinatory effect, more like a tragedy caused by an abnormal mental state.

We are not professional detectives, although the experts have a more cautious and logical mind than the average person. But at the beginning, the strange environment filled with gray fog has not been correctly explained, so there is not enough confidence to judge what will happen in that strange environment. Now that the gray fog has dissipated, the gradually clear night, and the movement that has returned to normal, is surprising and pleasantly surprised. In contrast, where there is a sudden burst of war. It's even more dangerous.

Dr. Nguyen Le advised everyone to immediately go to the battlefield to find out what was going on, and then choose whether to join up with the others. There are both advantages and disadvantages to this mentions, however, in retrospect. No one else wants to take that risk. If I were alone, I could have gone straight to it, but I didn't want to mention whether I could find an excuse to leave, even if I could. I'm not going to do that either. In a mysterious event, any superfluous action will lead to unpredictable consequences, and the possibility of Dr. Nguyen Li and others being attacked after I left is also very high, and given that Dr. Nguyen Lê has created a "paradise", this possibility is also quite high.

I think that if you use the power of the fourth-level demon pattern messenger to mix the battlefield in the direction of the water tower, you should be able to subdue everyone, assuming that everyone is just killing each other because of illusions, then, of course, it is the right thing to stop them, and it is also a heroic act. However, if something happens to Dr. Nguyen Lê after I leave, it will be even more disturbing.

In such a multiple-choice question, I chose the side of Dr. Nguyen Li, which can be said to completely meet the criteria of a hero. However, I already knew a long time ago that I could not help and save all the people at all, even on a battlefield with only a dozen people, and I could only stand by the side of a few people. Because, in a battlefield full of mysteries, although "speed" is powerful, it is not omnipotent, and the changes in the enemy and environment are far more mysterious and complex than you can imagine, and the slightest negligence cannot save even those who are close at hand.

"Achuan, what do you think?" Seeing that everyone was opposing, Dr. Nguyen Li didn't insist, but just turned to me and asked.

"Either we go together, or we stay together." I replied firmly.

That being said, the removal of the temporary hedging space still allows for the ability of chain determinations to be restored. The normal observation range of the chain judgment is only 50 meters, but with the use of the magic quark, it is still possible to expand the detection range through some small tricks. With everyone's eyes on him, he made the Moquark flutter its wings and fly.

At this time, the atmosphere in the team softened a little, and in that strange environment, even if there was never real danger, the feeling of being tightly wrapped in mystery and danger was still a little difficult to breathe. And after the gray fog cleared, except for the appearance of gunshots, which made people uneasy, the other qiē seemed to be back to normal, which was much better than the abnormal dead silence.

Even Dr. Ruan Li, who has always maintained a calm posture, feels as if he has been relieved of a heavy burden. She took out a lady's cigarette and gave it to the trainer and the fortune teller, but the trainer refused, and the fortune teller took out the lighter and lit the cigarette for the two of them. Dr. Nguyen Le rarely smokes, and most of the time, only when it is time to relieve stress. This is enough to prove how heavy the pressure is on her from the current situation. Even if there is no real danger, the situation of "danger may arise at any time" can be uncomfortable.

Actually, I want to smoke one too, but because I have always been in front of my family and school, pretending to be a good student, I don't plan to take the initiative to break this image even at this time. I reached into my pocket, played with the lighter, and crouched to the side, listening to the gunfire in the direction of the water tower, feeling the message that Moquark had brought.

Mitsukasu lit a cigarette, crouched down beside me, and said to me in a low voice, "Can you give me a bottle of 'Paradise'?" I'd like to take it back and study it. ”

"You shouldn't have asked me." I looked at him a few times and wondered what was behind his words.

"It's just a deal between us, and it has nothing to do with Ms. Nguyen." Mitsukasuo said, "Paradise is in you." Who are you looking for if you don't look for you? You're almost an adult, can't you make a decision about what to do with what you have? ”

I looked at him, his expression a little stern and a little pleading.

"You don't know the dangers of this psychedelic drug." I said, "If it's possible, I'd like to destroy it completely." And why should you study it? Besides, I'm not optimistic about the good results that can be obtained from this research. You know? Mr. Mitsui, you make me think that you are the kind of person who wants to study drugs and make new drugs. ”

Mitsukasuka smiled awkwardly, but he didn't mean to give up, I think his words and deeds are too young. There is no such thing as a qualified psychologist. From the scientific definition, the ultimate purpose of the study of psychology is to guide behavior. If you only know some noun theories and can't apply them in real life, you can't even talk about half a bottle of water. Mitsukasuo was obviously recognized by the seminar and was invited, even if he did not have a certificate and career in a related major, he should not be such a layman.

In fact. I'm not surprised that Mitsukao would ask me for "paradise" in private. After roughly understanding what "paradise" was, the man looked a little longing. It is precisely because of the intense mental activity that it is impossible to completely hide it from the expression. I'm sure I'm not alone in this team who noticed.

Mitsui Tsukafu's cautious behavior is as if he is discussing bad things. It's really eye-catching. I think he actually has a lot of options to ask for "paradise" in a better way.

However, no matter what he had in mind, he hoped for "paradise". I didn't intend to give it to anyone else from the very beginning.

Mitsukasuka stared at me for a long time, as if to confirm how firm my refusal was, and I thought he would try again with words, but he remained silent. After that, he scratched his hair vigorously with a look of remorse. This kind of desire to talk about it is like what I've seen, students who are introverted and not good at dealing with people.

Ah, it turns out that this guy is still just an otaku. I can't help but think so. The reason why he claims that his research topic is "the study of real psychology through the Internet" is that he himself has a barrier to face-to-face communication. However, judging from the previous exchanges, it is not very obvious.

It's really a strange guy, I kind of think that the gap between what he shows before and after, if not disguised, is deliberate. But I don't think I can understand what he thinks.

Mitsukasuka left with a look of chagrin, but I noticed that Dr. Nguyen Li, the fitness trainer, and the soothsayer all had their eyes on him, and they seemed to have some bad intentions. Mitsukasuka's current appearance is impossible to fault with people, but the three ladies seem to be born with prejudices - I didn't feel this way before, but when I saw their eyes at this time, I had such a thought.

What are these people thinking? What kind of judgment do you have about your own situation?

Although I can completely ignore these trivial things, the habits I have developed in the past still make me unconsciously analyze.

Mitsukasuka, as if he didn't notice the other people's gaze at all, just smoked hard and had a self-pitying expression on his face.

The atmosphere was a bit strange, but aside from this strange atmosphere, the information brought by Moquark made me understand that the "mystery" did not disappear because of the dissipation of the gray fog and the restoration of the environment. The gunfire on the other side of the water tower, like the other survivors except us, were staying over there. However, when the Moquark swept across the sky, not even a single figure could be seen.

The terrain around the water tower was sketched in my mind, but as we walked all the way, I didn't see half a figure. Not only that, but the sounds of the environment are all normal, but in the observation of chain judgments, the "moving objects" that should emit these sounds are also not in zài.

Yes, as if a qiē is just the sound of a ghost. No, perhaps it should be said that the sound that animates the environment is also just an auditory hallucination? I couldn't help but stand up and let the Moquark change direction and fly towards the road. Then I confirmed, though, from us. You can occasionally see the silhouette of a car passing by, and the obvious headlights, but there is nothing on the road.

In fact, we are still not out of the temporary hedging space.

I stared at the mist, which was only a thin layer of mist, and at first thought that its gray had faded, and that it was just an illusion of relative concentration. Now, in my eyes, although it is faint, it is not necessarily going to become whiter, and it probably will not continue to fade.

Compared to the weirdness of the various temporary hedge spaces I've encountered in the past, this one is not bad now. Moreover, the change in it made me deeply feel some kind of manipulation of consciousness - maybe human, maybe something else.

Any feeling of "normality". It was all deliberately created, and Dr. Nguyen Li was very calm, but it was probably the right thing to do, as everyone objected to her suggestion.

If we had gone in the direction of the water tower before, we might have encountered some kind of danger.

However, it is assumed that these arrangements are all made by the enemy. Well, perhaps, it can be seen as yes. The enemy does not have the confidence to control the overall situation and clash with us head-on.

Is it because of me?

The person who created this situation, who knows who I am, and thus includes my abilities in the calculation?

Then, the identity of the enemy can be roughly determined to be not only aborigines. Since mystery is not unrelated. Then, there will be a scene of "paradise", and the Doomsday Shinrikyo will naturally exist. Assuming it was an attack by the Doomsday Shinrikyo religion, then I am not going to investigate the reason for their actions. Because, at the later stage of the matter, before all the cause and effect are laid out, I have never been able to find the truth in advance. The activities of the Doomsday Shinrikyo are often very inexplicable when viewed in a split view of individual events, and there is a feeling of "just doing this kind of thing, so it was done". The sacrificial ritual, the choice of sacrifices, also seems to be irregularity and necessity. It is often necessary to combine multiple events to grasp the motive behind the scenes.

As now, a qiē unfolded so inexplicably.

Once the mastermind behind this mysterious event is the Doomsday Shinrikyo cult, then it is probably impossible to figure out why the people died and what the purpose of the event itself is to achieve just in this mysterious incident.

On the contrary, it is easier to understand what one should do by simply treating this qiē as another sacrificial ritual.

"It's not good." I stood up vigorously and said to Dr. Nguyen Le and the others, "The hallucinations are not over. Are you sure that these voices are not your own auditory hallucinations? ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, but they couldn't help but show a shocked expression. The next moment, the night fell silent again, the lights faded, and the gray mist expanded again, and in just a few breaths, it once again enveloped the four fields.

It's like pressing fast forward, from normal to abnormal, and the change is so overwhelming.

"What's going on?" Mitsukasuka's was a little flustered, "Didn't you say that the drug didn't take effect?" ”

Dr. Ruan Li couldn't help frowning and asked the other two, "Do you also think that the previous normality was just an illusion?" Do you think this weird scene is normal now? ”

The soothsayer frowned, shook his head, and did not speak. The fitness instructor replied, "So, is there anything else?" We were reminded and became conscious, so this change occurred, and the order should be fine. ”

Dr. Ruan Li glanced at me and said without hesitation: "However, Ah Chuan, who reminds you, is a mentally ill person. Would you rather believe the words of a mentally ill person than your own ears and eyes? ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Mitsukasuka interrupted Dr. Ruan Li's words forcefully, his attitude was even more agitated than before.

"Have you ever thought that, in fact, what you are seeing now is an illusion." Dr. Nguyen Li said to us word by word: "Actually, we have just gotten rid of the illusion, and you believe Ah Chuan's words, but you have fallen into the illusion again. ”

"You guys?" The soothsayer seemed to realize something, and looked at Dr. Nguyen Li uncertainly: "You mean, you're different?" ”

"Yes, I can guess what you're seeing now, it's a rough copy of the previous one." Dr. Nguyen Li said, "However, in my eyes and ears, everything is still normal. ”

Her answer made me a little stunned.

"No fog, no dead silence?" The fitness trainer asked.

"Yes, it's normal, the gunfire has stopped, I think, the people over there are coming." Dr. Nguyen Li looked in the direction of the water tower, but her words made the others look at each other - we saw something different.

Which side is the truth? Dr. Nguyen Li thinks that others have listened to me, a mentally ill person, and have been led into a fantasy again, and in my eyes, she is the most abnormal person who thinks so. I trust my own judgment, but Dr. Nguyen Le certainly doesn't lack self-confidence. In a mental state, any communication is normal, and it is precisely because of the inability to distinguish between illusion and reality that mental hysteria appears. Suppose that the situation we are facing is not necessarily novel in a psychiatric hospital - the patients can communicate, but it does not mean that their respective spiritual worlds and observations of the world are the same.

Except for Mitsukasu, other research directions seem to touch on this aspect. Therefore, I quickly understood the problems faced by myself and others.

Precisely because the world is inconsistent from one's own point of view, there must be analysis in action. No one wants to be in danger, but since even the observed world is not consistent, then so-called "dangerous situations" can also be different. But would anyone not believe what they see and hear, and instead listen to the opinions of others and deal with the dangers they have encountered? In the state of personal experience, some people will believe that what they see and hear is an illusion, and what others say and what they can't see is true?

This team has been fundamentally divided.

"Damn it." The fitness trainer who has always been full of vitality also looks like a headache at this time, the team split is just around the corner, looking at the world from a different perspective, and the resulting thoughts and decisions will cause a conflict of strictness. This is not a lie, and everyone knows that this kind of conflict can even extend to the course of war. But everyone knows that under the current circumstances, we should put aside our prejudices and condense into a mutual aid collective.

But herein lies the question, which side is trapped in the illusion, and without first solving this problem, there is no real unity of opinion.

"Ask again." Dr. Ruan Li was still calmer than everyone else, "Ah Chuan or me, who is a mentally ill person, which one do you believe more?" ”

"Although I would love to believe you, Ms. Nguyen......" Mitsukasu said with some confusion, "but I still feel that I should believe in myself." ”

I glanced at him, and what he saw was naturally what I saw. Of all the people here, only Dr. Nguyen Le is special.

The fitness instructor and the soothsayer were also embarrassed, and at that moment, we heard a scream in the convenience store next to us, followed by the sound of a violent fight. Someone was attacked, but Dr. Nguyen Li didn't seem to feel anything, and instead walked to the other side. She said to us, "I don't know what you saw, but I saw the gentleman who was in charge of receiving us." Her words reminded me of the balding middle-aged man.

"The driver is there, too." Dr. Nguyen Le continued, "It was like they were fighting a battle and someone was wounded. ”

But when we looked in the direction she was looking, we couldn't see anything. In the depths of the hazy gray mist, there was a deep darkness and dead silence, but in Dr. Nguyen Li's words, it was as if some terrible monster was about to tear through the fog and approach us.

"Is it really human?" The soothsayer gasped as well.

"Didn't you really hear that? There are people in the convenience store. The fitness instructor reminded.

Dr. Nguyen Li turned her head and stared at us quietly, her eyes so calm that people were a little hairy. Then, she said, "Since you must say so, let's go and see it together." ”

I knew she must have wanted to prove that there was nothing in the convenience store, and yet, when the chain decision was invalidated again, I felt the smell of hostility coming from the convenience store. (To be continued......)
