Chapter 56 goes deep into the basement

"In that case, is it useful for a person with a strong heart to resist mind control?"

Faced with this abrupt and lively scene, Jiang Yingxue asked a very practical question, with a slight sense of tentativeness.

Jiang Yingxue wanted to see if this Gogol was deliberately playing everyone around, or if there was a deeper conspiracy hidden in it.

"I don't know, the hallucinations in the labyrinth can't be described autonomously, it's like a dream.

Or maybe it's because of the lack of the necessary retrieval conditions, the human brain is unable to retrieve the hallucinatory fragment that has been added to the memory out of thin air.

However, for some people with special constitutions, they can sometimes remember every detail of the dream clearly.

If there is such a presence in the team, it will be of some use, but it will not be of much use, after all, it is necessary to ensure that you can come back alive. ”

Gogol again shifts the conversation to dreams, which are the easiest real-life illustrations of hypnosis and mind control.

There are many interpretations of dreams:

Some people say that it is a brief reappearance of the memories of the past life, while others say that it is a great fusion of the fragments of past memories in this life;

At the level of psychology, dreams can be interpreted as impulses at the subconscious level of the human body, and at the level of metaphysics, dreams have certain prophetic properties.

Is this hodgepodge of yes and no, and a means used by Gogol to muddy the current situation?

Or, in fact, Gogol is also vaguely aware of the risks here, which seems to explain why he hides behind and acts as a commander.

At this time, Jiang Yingxue suddenly felt that it was precisely because Bai Ning realized the limitations of Gogol's cognition that he would terminate his meaningless in-depth discussion.

Jiang Yingxue stared at Bai Ning, hoping to get more support from his reaction.

"Mind control, in a general sense, is understood as taking over the body of the controlled person through brain waves and making it act according to the controller's thoughts.

As for dreams, hypnosis, hallucinations, etc., they all have certain illusionary properties, which are through the five senses or brains of people, so that people can act through the characteristics of self-seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

In general, the former has a heavier subjective willingness to manipulate, while the latter has a certain scheming and manipulation attribute.

If the description is a little more rigorous, the essential difference between the two is very obvious. ”

In the face of Gogol's move to go around in circles again, Bai Ning's detailed analysis was very lethal, making Gogol's brows furrow slightly, as if he was thinking about something quickly.

"Manipulating a person's behavior can be active or passive, so the subdivision you are talking about doesn't really mean anything.

The traps that exist in this labyrinth, whether they are mental manipulation or illusionary confusion, are all the same threat to us.

The Soviets have left behind a lot of mysteries here, and if you can summarize them all in a sentence or two, this outpost research base will not be your turn to explore. ”

Jiang Yingxue stared at Gogol tightly, wanting to see what his response was, but what she heard was this slightly rogue defense.

Could it be that Gogol has really been cornered, and he really doesn't know more about this place than anyone else here?

"Let's talk about the casualty rate of the team's previous expeditions."

Jiang Yingxue thought that Bai Ning would take the opportunity to dig some pits for Gogol, but she didn't expect him to ask such a straightforward question.

Once this issue is announced, if there are heavy casualties, it will surely cause a frenzied resistance from the outlaws.

"Illusions don't hurt people, it's always external threats that can hurt the human body.

If you are lucky, there are no casualties, and if you are unlucky, it will be the end of the group. ”

Gogol did not dodge the question again and answered quite bluntly.

Either live or perish, a little equivalence, in fact, there is no difference from gambling on life.

Are outlaws really willing to try such a dangerous situation?

"I'm asking about casualty rates."

Bai Ning seems to be very persistent in this question, and has a posture of breaking the casserole and asking the end.

Gogol saw that he couldn't get past it, but he just smiled and didn't continue to answer.

A silent answer is also an answer, and even if the casualty rate is not large, it will arouse the fear of those who hear it.

"I'm a little curious, how did you trick those vain ghosts?"

Seeing that Gogol didn't answer, Bai Ning's topic became even more acute, but he felt a little bit like asking the teacher to ask for guilt.

"It's all here, you have to go down and see.

In addition, the people before were not as noisy as you, and life and death were just a state in their eyes, not a problem. ”

Gogol's expression obviously became displeased, and he seemed to be very disgusted by Bai Ning's sudden greed for life and fear of death.

Regarding Gogol's attitude, Bai Ning just smiled.

"A lot of things, it's better to ask clearly.

Fearlessness is fearlessness, recklessness is recklessness, and there is an essential difference between the two. ”

After Bai Ning said this, he turned around and left directly, and after a while, he regrouped with a team of 4 people, looking at Bai Ning's appearance, he seemed to be the captain of this vanguard team.

Regarding Bai Ning's decision, whether it was Jiang Yingxue or Gogol, they all showed a puzzled look.

It stands to reason that the early exploration is the most risky, and the significance of its exploration can be big or small, and as a core member of Bai Ning, there is no need for him to personally participate in it.

"Is it necessary?"

Jiang Yingxue couldn't help but ask.

"Didn't Gogol say that the hallucinations inside can't hurt people, and all that can hurt people are external threats.

I'll be able to come in with my camera and you'll be able to see exactly what's attacking us. ”

Bai Ning's response was very casual, as if a video camera could keep him safe.

"This technique of yours is not new, it has been used before, and the person hiding behind the camera can only watch you be killed by the sudden crisis.

Crises come from blind spots, so there is no point in your sacrifice.

Also, it's true that hallucinations in the base can't be transmitted through cameras, but even if we can warn you of danger in advance and you are immersed in hallucinations, we can't help you in any way. ”

Gogol's remarks were like a basin of cold water poured on everyone's heads, which made the outlaws who came with him a little frightened.

Gogol's behavior at this time seemed to be a move to understand everything before mocking Bai Ning.

I deceived people into it in a daze, and I had to put everything on the surface, which was really boring.

However, Gogol's words did not seem to have any effect on Bai Ning.

Or rather, Gogol's remarks seemed to be within Bai Ning's expectations.

"It's okay, we have a lot of cameras, and we can form a spherical view to spy on threats coming from any direction.

In addition, there is a limit to the effect of hallucinations on people, and I don't believe that this effect can completely lose people.

You know, if such a powerful thing really exists, it will definitely be weaponized, but it seems that I have never heard of similar urban legends now.

Even if it were so powerful in the event that it was caught off guard, we had a safety rope attached to us, and we could get out of danger quickly as long as you dragged it tightly behind. ”

Bai Ning's response was still rational, and Gogol frowned again and again when he heard it.

Unexpectedly, in the previous conversation, Bai Ning had already spied so many things invisibly.

In the many yes and no answers, in all kinds of evasion and silent resistance, Bai Ning presupposes a predetermined purpose.

Although Bai Ning did not get more information related to the illusion from Gogol's mouth, he mastered many possibilities through reasoning.

"Well, good luck."

Feeling a little bored in his heart, Gogol wanted to see what kind of fame Bai Ning could make.

For Gogol's sudden frustration, Bai rather did not think that he had an absolute advantage.

The reason why Bai Ning personally participated in the initial expedition was not only to perceive in Gogol's words that this trip was actually not very dangerous, but also to verify his previous speculations by experiencing the hallucinatory labyrinth.

Gogol's words have always been true and false, and he may not lie about some key things, but it is not a good thing to be in the field forever.

After all, the description of outsiders is too light, and indirect observation from the outside can only get an ambiguous guess, and only by personally experiencing the first round of the phantom maze can there be capital to continue to entangle with Gogol.

In addition, Bai Ning has also seen that Gogol has a tendency to evade in his previous responses, which is indeed not a good sign for a person who has been here many times.

Either it means that he really only scratches the surface about the dangers here, or that he may never really set foot here.

Therefore, no matter which direction you start from, walking in it in person is the basis for breaking all appearances.

……

Bai Ning led the four outlaws to the pitch-black tunnel, and the bright flashlight was projected inside, and only a foggy dark silhouette could be seen.

Walking slowly in this tunnel, a cold feeling slowly penetrated into the body, this feeling was not the cold in the underground secret room, but more like a kind of cold wind with an evil chill.

It is like an abnormal energy fluctuation that can easily penetrate the human body, bringing a kind of cold that goes straight to the bone marrow.

This tunnel alone reveals an evil gate, and I really don't know what kind of danger lies in the basement.

The tunnel of dozens of meters finally came to an end, and a signal repeater was installed at the corner, and Bai Ning did not feel that there was anything special here.

In addition to being more gloomy and cold, the depth of darkness is not even as deep as that of a dark lake.

It's a strange feeling, it's even less light here, but it's not the kind of pitch black that you can't see your fingers.
