Although Matian is a small place, the severity of this anomaly is unprecedented. The number of humans involved is already at an all-time high, and there may be many more in the future.

"Not only is the scale large, but the casualties are unprecedented." Li Xinyi said.

Moreover, the direct control and attack on the investigators has not been seen in previous global cases.

In the past, most of the global cases have only happened to a single person or a small group of people, and there has never been a situation where the entire geographical administrative area has been completely out of control.

Not before, now there is.

So, the anomaly is developing, it is getting worse.

"So let's go back to this case in Matian Township," Mr. Li said, "what happened?" How could it be possible for a rampant guide to exercise mind control over tens of thousands of people? ”

The old man thought about this question for a long time.

"When it comes to mind control," Lao Fang said, "the earliest systematic research dates back to the 20th century. At that time, there was a great war, and both sides of the war were engaged in the study of mind control. What are their goals?

"Control a person.

"As long as you control a person, such as a spy, and infiltrate the enemy, you can have a surprise effect."

The result?

"Failed without any suspense." Lao Fang said, "After the fact, historians conducted research, and all kinds of evidence show that researchers have conducted a large number of real research, and all kinds of unimaginable experiments and theories have emerged one after another.

"But in the end, there are still 108,000 miles away from the goal of perfectly controlling a person, and the door has not been touched."

"At the end of the war, there was a sudden flood of panicked information, and the public heard that the enemy was brainwashing a lot, there were relevant laboratories, and hundreds of human experiments were carried out,......

"The intimidation has really had the effect of scaring the country's own people. But it also shows that the most effective group manipulation is only - the propaganda machine.

After the advent of the era of peace, the study of the human spirit was transferred to the private sector, and the research was continued by medicine and universities.

"Whether it's studying brain waves, doing CT tomography scans of the brain, or introducing techniques like hypnosis in serious medicine, it's all scratching the itch.

"After the development of science in the middle of the 21st century, the study of the brain has introduced technology at the quantum level."

Li Xinyi asked, "What is the result?" ”

Go without saying.

"What is the brain?

"It's not the chip that's running some code. It's 100 billion neurons working in sync.

"When you look at this cup of tea, the sight and smell in your brain, the knowledge about tea in your memory, the memories of drinking tea in the past, all the neurons are involved in this thought.

"And the rational judgment of whether you want to pick up this cup of tea, and your motor nerves to be ready at all times and manipulate your hands......

"It's impossible to reproduce such a simple idea with technology. Not to mention the complete control of all the thoughts and actions in a brain. ”

Li Xinyi said, "So, basically, it can be said that it is impossible for human technology to achieve perfect mind control. ”

"It's a folk genius who has had almost successful practices." Lao Fang said, "That's the oblique religion." Whether it is some evil utopia on the other side of the ocean, or island countries, there have been some wizards of the mind control system,

"By isolating a small group of people in one place, through daily coercion and preaching, through punishment mechanisms and interpersonal relationships, some people are brainwashed into a group with strange logic. ……”

Li Xinyi couldn't help but say, "It's like Matian Town." ”

"Not bad." Lao Fang nodded, "Only by being isolated from the outside world can we truly achieve a long-term and lasting separation of a group of people from reality." ”

But that still doesn't explain everything in front of you.

The control done by the rampant guide far exceeds that of all the mind control masters in the history of the earth.

Li Xinyi decided to take it a step further, he said, "Old Fang, I have really seen that ...... The gods are clear. ”

He had seen with his own eyes that the gods were infinite points of light, discrete.

"You saw the gods, and you used His powers?"

Li Xinyi nodded.

Lao Fang looked at Li Xinyi for a while, and said slowly, "In this case, I would generally recommend going to the doctor." ”

"But...... There's a very interesting place. ”

"All evil gods, objects worshiped in the real world, are generally tangible.

"He usually has a strange humanoid appearance, a combination of human and animal forms...... For example, the devil has horns,

"If it's a Cthulhu-esque god, features such as an octopus are added to the appearance, and to further enhance the horror, there are uncomfortable details such as internal organs turned out......"

"In any case, tangible things can cause visual panic and oppression, but ......"

Lao Fang looked at Li Xinyi and said, "The god you see is actually a point of light?" ”

This is very abnormal, because no matter how you look at the point of light, there is no fear. This god doesn't even need to visually intimidate humans?

"I don't think I've ever heard a madman say what a god looks like, right?" Lao Fang said.

"Yes, no one ever said that." Li Xinyi frowned, "This god doesn't seem to want to show himself.

"It can even be said that the presence of this god himself is very low. The people who are active in the foreground are all human beings like rampant guides. ”

So the gods are actually trying to hide themselves?

"If you were to speculate the most boldly, what could this kind of thing be?" Li Xinyi said, "You don't need to be rigorous, you can completely surpass common sense, what kind of thing can cause this effect?" Control everyone at once? ”

The old man didn't speak for a long time.

"An invisible ...... Liquid? ”

Liquid? Li Xinyi was stunned.

"A conscious, invisible liquid that soaked everyone in Matian, so everyone was affected.

Li Xinyi was speechless.

Lao Fang, let you be bold, you are really bold enough.

"Is it possible to soak everyone and have no physical liquid?"

"Didn't you say beyond common sense?" The old man said, "Besides, who says there is no such thing? Take, for example, Aether. ”

Aether is something imagined by philosophers throughout history, something that soaks the entire universe. But I can't touch it.

Of course, with the current state of technology, it is believed that the ether does not exist.

According to this line of thought, Li Xinyi thought,

If the god is a liquid, is it possible for the liquid to be conscious?

Thinking about it further, if a liquid is invisible, then it is impossible to fill it with a mouth tank, then it is uncontrollable.

While we were chatting, I heard a movement on the first floor.

I saw the eldest brother dragging a few old boxes and walking in from outside the house.

"Big brother, what are you doing?"

The eldest brother said, "I'll go and clean up the things in the old house." ”

The old house of Li Xinyi's family has been demolished by the madmen. So the eldest brother went to clean up the ruins and put back the family's personal belongings.

Li Xinyi hurriedly walked downstairs, found the box where he put his things, flipped through it, and pulled out a worn-out old book.

"Weird Books".

"I was looking for this."
