Chapter 102: Cognitive Pollution
Her eyes were engraved on the book, and slowly, Carolina noticed that the letters had become a little unfamiliar, and she seemed to be unable to distinguish the meaning of the words they were composed of.
In this extremely normal textbook, the normal letters are becoming more and more unknown in Carolina's eyes, as if non-existent words are writing non-existent knowledge, and these words are like 'black holes' that attract Carolina's consciousness and immerse her in it.
At this moment, Carolina suddenly felt that someone was coming to her.
There was no sound, no movement, just a feeling, the most basic feeling in her mind, as if she subconsciously turned back when she noticed the gaze of others, and this thought suddenly appeared in Carolina's brain.
Even if she couldn't turn back, Carolina could still sense the presence of the other party, someone was standing by her side at this moment, and she didn't know about it, and she didn't even know when the other party came here.
For a moment, Carolina's mind was thinking a lot, wondering if there was a new vision, or if it was the initiator of it all, or even the ghost who was trapped here like herself.
But she couldn't turn back, let alone move a finger, and she couldn't even look away from her gaze at this time.
She could only silently read the words that she couldn't read at all, and was gradually invaded by countless forbidden and unknown knowledge, and finally lost consciousness in a state where she was powerless to resist.
"Interesting world."
A murmur sounded in the silent space, and Carolina's mind was like a hammer hit at the moment when the voice sounded, and a huge feeling of dizziness hit her, making her almost throw up.
"It reminds me of the Tower of Babel"
The voice sounded again, and Carolina listened to the other party's bland words, and an irrepressible sense of fear rose in her heart for no reason, as if a creature was frightened by a natural enemy, or an ordinary person was being killed by a ghost.
Then, a hand appeared in Carolina's sight, it was a very beautiful hand, with slender fingers, distinct bones, and a very large palm, apparently a man's hand.
The hand slowly moved to the edge of the book, and at this time, Carolina suddenly noticed that the words on the textbook were trembling, and the printed letters were writhing like maggots, as if they were silently resisting the hand.
The next moment.
Smack-
Without any hindrance, the hand lightly clasped the text, and the book made a crisp sound.
"Are you alright, Carolina?" The voice sounded for the third time, with a hint of concern in his tone.
At this time, Carolina finally felt the control of her body return to her, she took a few steps back, and then looked at the owner of the voice with a wary face.
It was a strange figure wearing a bird's beak mask, and the other party's whole person was shrouded in a black hooded robe, and the silent oppressive force made Carolina's mind stop for a moment, and when she looked again, she found that this ghostly existence was so incompatible with everything around her.
"Are you okay?" The black shadow spoke again, but he was unusually calm in the face of the guarded Carolina.
"Who are you?" Carolina took another step back and asked rhetorically.
"I'm a raven, you probably haven't heard of my name, but it doesn't matter, I'm here to get you out of here, before you're completely contaminated." Zhang Yu said lightly.
"Pollution? What do you mean? Carolina instinctively felt that something was wrong.
"Thinking invasion, cognitive pollution, it's a very difficult thing to explain, and I don't know much about it." Zhang Yu casually threw the textbook in his hand aside. "But I want you to believe me, your body is safe, but for a better recovery, you must first wake up."
"You saved me?" Carolina asked again.
Hearing this question, Zhang Yu smiled softly. "Language trap, you're wary, it's good, it's not me who saved you, it's my friend, she found you escaping from Deadpool, and she made me know how terrible the dangers in this world are."
Carolina's hanging heart relaxed slightly, and her mind once again remembered the blonde girl with the 'S' logo on her chest. "Who is she?"
"Her name is Kara." Zhang Yu replied.
"Kara." Hearing this name, Carolina was slightly stunned.
Instantly, the long blond hair of the woman in her mind gradually shortened, and at the same time, the color changed to black.
This unbelievable scene made Carolina's heart beat a beat, and because of the change in memory in her brain, Carolina couldn't put into words how she felt at the moment.
"What's wrong with you?" As if he saw that something was wrong with Carolina, Zhang Yu asked.
"It's okay not to me, it's just that I might understand what you mean by mind invasion and cognitive pollution." Carolina clutched her head, her eyes filled with infinite fear.
At this time, she finally realized what real horror is, when her cognition is tampered with, everything she knows becomes unfamiliar, and even when her own memories are changed, this indescribable fear makes Carolina speechless for a while.
Just ask, when cognition is modified into something else by an indescribable existence, when you deny your experience over the years and then think that you are actually a border collie, when you lose the cognition of speaking and your language ability becomes a barking dog.
Yourself, or yourself?
In an instant, a chill enveloped Carolina's body, she raised her head suddenly, took a deep look at the strange figure in front of her, and spoke.
"How can I be sure you're real? How can I guarantee that you are not part of those illusions? If my perception is really changed, then you may be part of my fantasy, but I haven't noticed it yet. ”
"You don't have to be sure, because I'm the real thing." Zhang Yu raised his hand and waved it in the air. "It's easy to prove it, because I've been having a reasonable conversation with you throughout."
"Those visions mimic my memories, and they have the ability to converse." Carolina said.
"No, no, no, I'm talking about 'reasonable' conversations."
Zhang Yu looked at Carolina in front of him and said solemnly.
"Why did a group of Hydra soldiers suddenly appear on the street just now? Why do you have what it takes to defeat the Hulk or even Thanos? Why does this world of light and shadow bring danger to you again and again? None of this makes sense!
You will not die in this world, because this is the dream world woven by your spirit, and every escape and death you have here is nothing more than entering another layer of dreams, and the illusions you face are also the products of your dreams.
But if you think that you can kill them all and you can kill them all, you are very wrong, the more people you kill here, the deeper you fall, and those things are trying to occupy your mind and affect your sanity all the time.
However, the methods of those 'things' are simple and crude, they have almost no logical thinking, that is, when you encounter the boundaries of dreams and come into contact with those things that are not logical, they will change your perception and force all this to become 'rationalized'.
And I, being able to tell you so much here, is in itself a proof. ”
