Wang Chao: "Do you think this is reasonable?" I mean, is the collective hallucination a good thing? ”

Helena: "Reasonable. In fact, with proper guidance, it is easy to form collective hallucinations. Humans are more easily induced than you think. I'm in a medical pod now, so it's hard to explain, so let's pull up a virtual space.

"If you don't have as high fidelity as LV5, LV2 is about the same."

Without waiting for Wang Chao to answer, Nimeow completed the construction of virtual reality and pulled everyone except Lily in.

No, everyone except Lily and Nya pulled in.

The whole space uses a minimalist style, and at first glance it is the reception room of an IT company with a market value of tens of billions.

Everyone appears in the space as their own "subconscious image", which reflects the individual's perception of himself.

The image of Gale Wind is not a Japanese female samurai, but a female rioter in the 80s, and there is a flag behind her that reads "Noisy and Superior" and "Night Dew Death Bitter".

Nimeow's image is a real cat with a bow around her neck.

Wang Chao's image - it is actually Sean Connery, it seems that Wang Chao likes this "original James Bond" more than he imagined.

Helena's image is herself.

She looked at everyone and said, "Subconscious image, you can't see this kind of thing in the kind of high-fidelity virtual reality created by the Three Sages. ”

Wang Chao: "Don't digress, explain to us about collective hallucinations." ”

Helena: "Give me access to this space." Don't worry, my hacking skills are very poor, and I was casually handled by that hacker lady. ”

Wang Chao nodded to Ni Meow, who was reluctant to look at the cat even though he was a cat.

Helena: "Okay, I've got control, that's enough. ”

She snapped her fingers, and a table appeared in the space with several glasses of water on it.

Helena: "This is an experiment that I often demonstrate to students in introductory psychology classes, and it's very simple. I would tell them that one of the six glasses of water had a trace of salt in it. ”

Wang Chao suddenly laughed: "I know, I also took a psychology course when I was in college, and the professor also did this experiment, but it was actually all water, without salt." ”

Nimeow: "When did you go to college?" ”

Wang Chao realized that he had missed his mouth, so he hurriedly made up for it: "Haha was discovered, it's inconvenient to have someone who knows his true situation by his side." ”

Ni Meow - now it's really a "meow" - looked at Wang Chao suspiciously.

Helena: "This experiment is very old, and it may have been used by psychology professors to demonstrate misdirection during the SOL-3 era. And this is a type of group hallucination, where most students in the classroom feel that there is really a glass of water that is salty. ”

Wang Chao: "Then what do you think is misleading about the group hallucinations of our superpowers?" ”

"The information given to me by the Three Sages said that you have obtained some kind of super-civilization inheritance to obtain superpowers. Is it possible that that kind of inheritance has misled you? Is everything you see that is something that exists in modern society? ”

Three superpowers—two superpowers, one Squib, looked at each other.

Nimeow: "Yes, my superego is the form of my alternate body, and his superego is an image from ancient animations. ”

Wang Chao: "At first, it was a comic, and then it was changed to an animation!" ”

The two-dimensional brahmin showed his meaningless persistence to the fullest.

Helena held her chin: "So you've seen each other's superegos, right?" I mean, it's the prototype. ”

Wang Chao and Ni Meow nodded together.

Helena: "But I haven't seen this ancient anime, but I did...... I have a hypothesis. ”

Wang Chao: "Please speak." ”

Helena: "Is it possible that this isn't some group hallucination at all?" Are you really 'communicating' with each other through ancient heritage? ”

Nimeow: "Is this the judgment of a professional psychologist?" ”

Helena: "Yes. Think about it, the moment I saw Wang Chao's superego, in fact, I was also communicating, and my brain was communicating with the virtual reality created by the three sages. The so-called breaking the shackles between the virtual and the real is actually just that you forcibly cut into the communication. ”

The virtual reality total of several people looked at each other.

Gale opened directly: "I don't understand, I surrender!" ”

Wang Chao was a little skeptical that this guy really didn't understand, maybe this guy was pretending to be confused.

Nimeow: "That would explain that. My superpower, in fact, is also forcibly established communication with the target. Lily's superpower is actually communication. ”

Wang Chao: "Wait a minute, time stop can't be communication, right?" And the guy who thinks about the motivation. ”

"yes." Nimeth shook her head, "There's something else these communications can't explain." Well, we'll have to wait until we get to find out. ”

Suddenly, Nimeow looked at Helena and exclaimed, "Oh no! ”

Helena: "I don't know anything...... It seems too late to say that. Well, isn't there actually an organization X? ”

"Uh, this, you're mistaken, it's actually ......" Nimeth explained in a hurry, and it was quite fun to watch a cat in a hurry.

Wang Chao immediately decided: "You are right. Organization X does not exist. In fact, we never said that Organization X existed, it was just a bunch of random speculation, and it was born. ”

Helena's expression became very subtle: "You guys...... It's blocking the possibility of me getting off the ship. I don't want to die, can I only live on this ship for the rest of my life? ”

Wang Chao: "Yes. ”

Helena was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly spread her hands: "Actually, I found that there seems to be nothing unacceptable." Let's take a closer look at superpowers. ”

All the hairs on Nimeow's body stood up: "This guy wants to deceive more information, so he can sell us after he gets off the ship!" ”

After saying that, she hissed in her throat like a real cat, indicating threat.

Wang Chao: "If you really want to say that, wouldn't Gale Temple also sell us?" ”

Gale: "Haha, that's true. If you think about it, it's quite that you believe me in what kind of pursuit of freedom. Let's accept the reality, we are a super invincible grass platform. ”

Nimeth sighed, "It seems like that's true when you say that. It's strange that we haven't been sold as piglets yet. ”

Helena: "On the other hand, I have the 'big stuff' that can sell you into the bottomless abyss at any time, so I can trust you.

"My major can also help you strengthen your superpowers. But you're also amazing, and no organization can discover the secrets of so many superpowers. ”

"About this," Wang Chao smiled self-deprecatingly, "it's actually like this. ”

A moment later, he talked about superpowers, and the formation of all the "settings" about superpowers.

Helena crouched on the ground, holding her head in her hands: "What is this...... You don't think I'm going to believe this kind of, do you? ”

Wang Chao: "You can believe it or not. ”

Nimeow: "It's normal not to believe." ”

Gale: "Believe it or not." ”

Helena crouched on the ground and was silent for five full seconds before she stood up and sighed, "I should be surprised that some of your casual nonsense actually makes some sense.

"So, because of your casual nonsense, now superpowers can meet without fighting superpowers, and directly let superego fight each other, right?"

Wang Chao: "Yes, then the damage taken by the superego will be reflected in the ontology. And the specific damage suffered depends on the strength of the belief. ”

Helena raised an eyebrow: "Wait a minute, it sounds like I'm going to be super powerful under this framework you've built." Let's say I have superpowers......"

"You won't have it." Nimeow interjected, "Don't even think about it, we don't want to be tricked by you using your superpowers." ”

Wang Chao: "Although I want to implement the principle of employing people without doubt, the 'Tao' we have now is limited, and we can only give one more person superpowers." ”

Helena: "And this person is Nya who is still undergoing repairs. ”

Wang Chao: "Yes, we need the ability of a gravity system to enhance the performance of our spacecraft. ”

Helena: "Understandable. But after I actually experience superpowers, I should be able to make a more correct judgment of superpowers. Otherwise, I need that special circumstance even to see your superego. ”

Saying that, Helena looked at Wang Chao directly.

At this moment, Wang Chao felt that this was her test.

If Helena is chosen not to have superpowers, the chances of Helena defecting will be greatly increased in the future, and she may defect at some point.

If you choose to give Helena superpowers, she will be much less likely to defect, or even not at all.

But is it possible that this is a hoax set up by this top psychologist?

Is it possible......

Wang Chao waved away his doubts, anyway, this kind of thing can't be considered.

Just listen to your heart.

Wang Chao replied: "You're right, when you come out of the medical cabin, we'll give you a try of superpowers." But in the future, we will give Nya superpowers, and she will most likely awaken the gravity ability, which is very important to us. ”

Helena was shocked: "Aren't you afraid that this is my trick?" It's not the right thing for me to say, but you're too easy to be deceived! Are you really the legendary lone wolf, ace bounty hunter Wang Chao? ”

Wang Chao spread his hands: "I really am." ”

Helena: "Oh my God, I definitely don't want to be part of a team like this guy who is so naïve. ”

Nimeow: "He even took the commission that looked like a trap for the sake of the Grass Galaxy Singer." Welcome to the Fool Team. ”

Gale: "What a stupid team, this is going to be called 'Foolish Company'." ”

Wang Chao waved his hand: "No, no, no, foolish company is a word with a special meaning, don't use it indiscriminately if you don't understand." Anyway, Dr. Helena, Professor, welcome aboard. ”
