Chapter 120: Crossing the Line
The brain is affected by nothing more than those methods, emotional factors, external stimuli, chemical agents, and some kind of energy that affects the brain.
His own emotional factors can be ruled out, although Li Xiu is trapped here, his mood is very stable, and there are few things that can make his mood fluctuate abnormally.
External stimulation, this has not found anything that can stimulate him at present, the room is empty, there will be no donkey to his head to get on that hoof, just a simple environmental factor, basically can not affect Li Xiu.
Chemical agent, this Li Xiu is not very sure, there are many gases, it is difficult for human eyes to distinguish, it is likely that he can't see at all, now he has no sense of touch and no sense of smell, I am afraid it will be difficult to find it.
The last one is the hardest to find, if there is some kind of magnetic field or energy resonance or radiation affecting his brain, he doesn't feel it at all now, which is also very difficult to find.
Li Xiu thought carefully about the information he knew, the child with cerebral palsy survived, but his condition deteriorated rapidly within three days, but the child with cerebral palsy did not say that he had been in it for a long time.
Of course, at that time, he was no longer able to speak, and he couldn't move his fingers.
The madman said he had been in this room for a long time, whether it was a few years or a hundred years, but not three days anyway.
And what Li Xiu is encountering now, the feeling is gone, and only the visual function remains.
Li Xiu may be sure that there must be some kind of force affecting the brain, and there is something wrong with the brain, so he has no feeling.
If the brain was affected and made that madman feel like it had been many years, then why did everyone else die, only he lived.
Why did the child with cerebral palsy survive, and none of the mentally powerful trialists survived?
Why did that madman keep counting? He was very scared when he counted, so scared that he didn't dare to make a mistake in the numbers, even when he counted more than 100 million, under Li Xiu's interference, he still didn't make a mistake.
Li Xiu pondered all this, thinking of all possible connections.
According to Mu Yu's confession, the child with cerebral palsy was damaged by the brain, which affected the function of the body, and his body would gradually be uncontrolled by the brain, first the facial muscles, then the mouth and eyes, then the speech function, and finally the whole body would be paralyzed.
Such a child with a damaged brain, if he is really invaded by some kind of energy that affects the brain, he should not be able to get out.
But his condition deteriorated, and he went out.
Li Xiu suddenly thought of a possibility, maybe this so-called trial has no end to time at all, and the time of their brain's cognition has been deliberately distorted, creating an infinite loop of time in their brains.
Those whose brains are affected will be stuck in a time loop endlessly, which means that as long as they don't commit suicide, the trial will never end.
The reason why a child with cerebral palsy can get out alive is because his brain itself has been damaged, affecting some functions of the brain, so that this endless cycle of time, which only affects the brain, is not established.
So he got out alive, not because he was better than others, but because he had a defective brain.
But because of the influence of that energy, his already damaged brain was even more damaged, so he was completely paralyzed.
This has shown a very important problem, that kind of energy is only the key to open the brain's time cycle, and it is still your own brain that really traps people in time.
But what about that madman, his brain is not sick or damaged, and theoretically he can't break the brain time loop.
Thinking of this, Li Xiu's mind flashed: "Could it be that he discovered this problem of the brain's time cycle, and thought of a way to break the brain's time loop?" He didn't destroy his own brain, this method will definitely not work, because I don't know which area of the brain is damaged to break the brain time cycle, and if you are not careful, you may kill yourself, and even if you don't die, there is not much difference between becoming cerebral palsy and dying. ”
"The method he uses should be related to the numbers he counts, but counting can break the brain's time loop, which is too simple." Li Xiu felt that it shouldn't be a matter of numbers, and that the madman should be counting to achieve a certain purpose.
"What is he trying to achieve?" Li Xiu pondered this question.
He knew that if he couldn't figure this out, he would be trapped here forever, for a hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years, and as long as he was alive and didn't commit suicide, then he would continue to test forever.
His brain made his view of time almost static, and no matter how long it had elapsed for him to feel it, it hadn't long passed for those outside the gates of Purgatory.
You can imagine how painful it was for those who took part in the trial, and what a great horror it was to be trapped for 100 years, 1,000 years, 10,000 years in a place where there was no time, nothing, not even feeling.
Someone once experimented with a very large sum of money for a short period of time in a room in absolute silence, enough for a poor man to spend a few years without worrying about making a living.
However, many people were invited to participate in the experiment, but no one was able to support the specified time of the experiment, and it was difficult for normal humans to adapt to absolute loneliness.
Li Xiu had forgotten how long that experiment was, anyway, it must have been less than a year, maybe only a month or less.
In such a short period of time, human beings can't bear it, thousands of years and tens of thousands of years, can anyone endure it?
Even if he could endure it, there would still be hundreds of thousands of years, hundreds of millions of years, and when he found that he would never be able to end the trial, the despair and fear were unimaginable.
An empty room, but more terrifying than any physical dangerous trial, it is challenging the limits of the human spirit.
Die, or stay here forever, there is no third way otherwise.
Li Xiu has been counting silently since the beginning, and he still hasn't found any help in counting for the current situation.
To be sure, it's impossible to just count and get out, and there are still things he doesn't know.
"Why the hell is that madman counting? What the hell is he trying to do? Ordinary people can't remember such long numbers, and there will definitely be mistakes in continuous counting, my spiritual sense is too strong, and with the talent of absolute order, I can count without any mistakes, how did he do it? Could it be that like me, he was born with a strong spiritual sense, so he should have been a famous magician for a long time, how could he still be sent here to be cannon fodder? Li Xiu thought of this, and was suddenly stunned.
He found himself ignoring a problem, counting was too simple for him, but for normal people, it was definitely not easy.
The madman is just an ordinary person, but he has achieved the same level as Li Xiu, can his brain withstand it?
Maybe it works now, but it may not have been possible before.
"Could it be that he used this method to drive himself crazy?" Li Xiu thought about it, and it seemed that there was only such a possibility.
In other words, it is not called madness, but the madman forcibly makes himself absolutely focused, and the brain no longer does any other mental activity except numbers.
When he achieves absolute concentration, he completely abandons other mental activities, and the time loop that uses his brain to complete it will naturally not work.
So the madman also went out, but because of his absolute concentration, his mind was also imprisoned by himself in those numbers.
No matter how others disturb him, no matter what happens around him, he will never count wrong, so theoretically speaking, he is not crazy, but his mind is imprisoned by himself.
Li Xiu couldn't imagine how far a person would have to go in order to be able to stop thinking about anything at all and remain in a state of absolute concentration.
Although Li Xiu knew the way for a madman to break the time loop of his brain, he couldn't do it. I have to say that the madman is a genius in his own right, a somewhat crazy genius.
You let Li Xiu multitask, he does a lot of different things at the same time, and he can do it in an orderly manner, but he is absolutely focused, he really can't do it.
This is a strong advantage of spiritual sense, but now it has become a disadvantage.
Of course, Li Xiu didn't plan to use this method, he didn't want to imprison his mind and become a madman who only knew how to count.
However, looking at the situation of the madman, his mind is still slowly recovering, and he just doesn't know when he will be able to completely get out of his self-confinement.
"I can't be absolutely focused, but that doesn't mean I can't stimulate my brain." Li Xiu looked at his fingers and turned on the super stimulation skill.
S-level super exciting skills, which can double his physical fitness, and also have the effect of paralyzing enemies.
It's just that when he uses this skill, his own body also suffers from the pain of electric shocks.
Although Li Xiu doesn't feel pain now, this kind of stimulation is effective on the whole body, and naturally it also wraps the brain.
When Li Xiu used the super stimulation this time, he didn't feel the pain as before, but his body shook uncontrollably.
The super stimulation has been working, but Li Xiu still doesn't feel it at all.
Seeing that his body was shaking more and more violently, and his hair seemed to be curled up, as if he was a little burnt, Li Xiu hurriedly stopped.
"Can't you? It seems that only by using the method of thinking stimulation can we achieve the purpose of breaking the brain time loop without damaging the brain. Li Xiu was slightly disappointed, he knew that it would be useful to continue, but he didn't dare to continue, if he continued, it would not be a matter of brain damage, but to go directly to the West Heaven to see the Buddha.
If he did see the Buddha, what would the Buddha say if he asked him how he died? Did I spur myself to death? And it's super exciting?
Li Xiu felt that this was a bit inappropriate, and he was not a believer, so he probably wouldn't be able to see the Buddha.
"It's really creative to trap myself with my brain, so let's try it and see who has the final say." Li Xiu took a deep breath, calmed down the stimulated mood, and then slowly closed his eyes.
What is the most important thing about a disguiser? Of course, it's the brain, and if you don't have a strong mental power of the brain, how can you control such a complicated magic costume.
The magic suit is not a machine, it is not as simple as pressing the keyboard, turning the steering wheel, and changing gears, but the brain's thinking control.
It can be said that the magic costume is equivalent to the second body of the magic costume master, and the only organ shared with the real body is the brain.
The more powerful the magician, the stronger the spiritual power of the brain, and the so-called spiritual consciousness is actually the external embodiment of the spiritual power of the brain.
There are not many people who have the talent of a magic costume master, and it would be good to have a few out of a thousand people, but there are still billions of people in the world, no matter how rare the magic costume master is, the S-level magic costume master can still find out some.
At least every year, there will be a hundred S-level Costume Masters on the list.
There are so many magic costume masters, why is it that only Li Xiu has won the top spot for three consecutive years, and those magic costume masters before have rarely been able to occupy the top position in a row, and it is rare to have two consecutive top spots.
There are also magic costumers who have been on the list again after a few years, but there is only Li Xiu who has won three consecutive championships, and there is no second one.
The deepest reason why those costumers didn't have three consecutive crowns was that their spiritual senses were unstable.
Spiritual consciousness is actually the mental power of the brain, and the mental power of the brain is not equal to intelligence, it is easily affected by the fluctuations of thinking.
Love and hatred, life and death, joy and sorrow can all affect the strength of spiritual consciousness and make spiritual consciousness fluctuate greatly.
Therefore, there are very few magicians who are at the peak of their spiritual sense every year, and they are often defeated by magicians who are in a better state with similar spiritual strength and similar magic control skills.
But in the final analysis, it is because their brains are not mentally strong enough to be able to surpass their opponents by one level.
Li Xiu did not have any of the above two failure factors.
His spiritual consciousness has never fluctuated up and down, because his absolute order allows him to absolutely control his spiritual consciousness to the extent he wants, and as long as he doesn't want to fluctuate, his spiritual consciousness will be as straight as a horizontal line.
As for the strength of his spiritual sense, so far, Li Xiu himself didn't know how strong his spiritual sense was.
Because the spiritual sense is strong to a certain extent, there will be no way to become stronger again, as if there is such a capping line. The reason why the spiritual sense of those S-level magic armorers is so close is because their spiritual sense is near that line, and there is no way to get stronger anymore, so everyone is about the same, whoever is in better shape will have a chance to win.
But Li Xiu was able to cross those lines and let the strength of his spiritual consciousness continue to increase.
It's just that every time he crosses that line, Li Xiu feels very uncomfortable, not physically, but psychologically.
After crossing that line, Li Xiu felt that his seven emotions and six desires seemed to become more and more intense, and he couldn't be interested in anything, and sometimes even Li Xiu himself felt like a robot, becoming more and more impersonal.
Fortunately, there is no magic suit in this world that needs him to break through that line before it can be activated, so Li Xiu rarely steps on the line.
But today is different, Li Xiu must break the time loop of his brain and let himself get out of here.
When Li Xiu closed his eyes, it was as if a string in his brain had broken.
In the next second, Li Xiu opened his eyes, but his black and white eyes could not see the black Tong Kong at this time, only the white eyeballs remained.
What's even more strange is that a thin white line appeared in the center of his eyebrows, as if a faint light was shining through the bones under the skin.
If you don't look closely, you think he has a closed white light vertical eye on his forehead.
There was no child in his eyes, but Li Xiu could clearly see everything in this room, and even the feeling he had lost before returned to his body, but at this time he stared at the room without emotion, and his expression did not change at all.
Then the mind moved, and time seemed to begin to fly by immediately.
Of course, this time passage is just a feeling of the brain, time is not accelerated, but Li Xiu himself feels that time is accelerated.
After breaking through that line, Li Xiu already sensed that something was wrong with his brain.
There was some deviation from his previous judgment, it was not an infinite brain time loop, but the brain's view of time as if someone had pressed the slow motion button by a huge multiple.
So a second of time in his brain senses, it seems like a long, long time.
Since the trial slowed down the flow of time in his brain, then he made the time flow rate of his brain faster, which would naturally cancel out the effect of the trial on him.
Li Xiu adjusted his brain's view of time to a normal state, but he still didn't see the prompt that the trial was over, so he adjusted it a little faster.
In Li Xiu's brain, it was only a blink of an eye, but in fact, three days had passed, and the light screen finally appeared again, announcing the end of the S-level trial, randomly generated.
Li Xiu roughly calculated, if he followed the brain time view of the trial, he was afraid that he would have to survive in this for 300 million years.
Is there anyone who can survive 300 million years without going crazy or committing suicide, Li Xiu doesn't know, he himself has no interest in staying here for 300 million years in vain.
The reward appeared on the light screen, and unexpectedly, it was obviously an S-level trial, but there was only one reward on the light screen.
Admission ticket, such a difficult S-level trial, there is only one admission ticket reward.
Li Xiu had adjusted his brain's view of time to a normal state, and his spiritual sense had slowly converged and weakened, and the black boy in his eyes had returned, and the white line in his eyebrows was gone. The body seems to have returned to normal, but the expression on his face is a little indifferent, he doesn't care whether there are other rewards at all, and directly chooses the admission ticket reward, one admission ticket is enough for him, he originally came for this admission ticket.
The half-red, half-blue ticket was projected in front of Li Xiu, turning into a vortex and sucking Li Xiu in.
Copper lamps, stone tables, no metal coffins, it seems that only the Haitian Proving Ground has metal coffins, and in other testing grounds, no metal coffins have ever been seen.
Through the dark mirror, Li Xiu clearly saw that there was another thing on the stone table, and seeing the appearance of that thing clearly, Li Xiu couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
