Chapter 58 Exploring the Limitations

This deliberate misdirection may be a ploy of Gogol's hypocrisy, or it is most likely a more terrible situation.

That is, Gogol also went deep into the illusion, and although he successfully escaped with his strong spiritual strength, he also completely broke down his spirit.

Arrogance, dominance, control, and extreme stupidity, these extreme emotions are concentrated in Gogol, not because of his long-term obsession, but because of the sequelae left by overcoming the illusion.

Think about it, only people with extreme ego, only people who believe in self-judgment to the extreme, and even put it more directly, only people who are extremely selfish can come out of the oppression of many illusions.

Following this reasoning path, the reason why Gogol backstabbed all the previous expedition teams was purely for self-preservation.

It is precisely because Gogol, who is deeply trapped in the illusion, no longer trusts anyone, so others can become his victims and be cruelly abandoned under this ruin.

Glancing up at Gogol, it seemed that only Gogol didn't care about his Bai Ning's hallucinatory feelings.

This extremely indifferent behavior seems to further verify Bai Ning's conjecture - Gogol has indeed been trapped in a hallucination, and whether his distorted mind will be revived because he is on the verge of hallucination, can only be reported with a great fear of unknown.

"Gogol, what do you think of the situation just now?"

Bai Ning took the initiative to launch an offensive, and Gogol, who had heard about the translation, slowly raised his eyes and looked over, with a look of jealousy in his eyes.

It's as if Gogol is looking at a terrifying ancient beast that can actually threaten Gogol's existence.

"Do you think you're out of the illusion now?"

It made people's hearts jump suddenly, I never expected that the first sentence that Gogol said turned out to be this, and he was a little clueless in horror.

It's like a temptation, it's like a warning, it's more like a mean mockery.

Bai Ning, who was shocked in his heart, had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and at this moment, he seemed to think about ten thousand possibilities, and even imagined the possibility of returning to the basement floor after his eyes were dark.

However, everything around him is so real, and everyone feels real to him, and there is no possibility of falsehood.

What can't be believed?

"Probably, I've come out of it."

Bai Ning responded with a smile, the expression on his face was very relaxed, which made Gogol on the opposite side smile very disdainfully.

"It seems that you haven't gone far in the illusion.

There have been people like you who have taken the initiative to enter before, and when they came out, they were driven crazy by the question I asked.

Either hysterically yelling, suddenly becoming panicked and overwhelmed, or starting to frantically attack everything that can be seen around them.

The boundary between reality and fantasy begins to blur, and this is the most terrifying part of this phantom labyrinth. ”

Gogol continued to respond, in a completely bystander tone, unable to analyze whether he had entered the labyrinth of illusions for the time being.

But this answer worries Bai Ning even more, because Gogol portrays the risks in the outpost research base too strongly.

Before Gogol, he was still half-hidden, and at critical moments, he would interrupt the rhythm of the conversation by being silent.

Now he is so unscrupulous, is it because Bai Ning's personal experience makes him feel threatened, so that he wants to let Bai Ning be absent from the follow-up exploration process?

But even so, the impact of Gogol's conversation on the outlaws cannot be ignored.

Bai Ning had reminded him countless times before that too dangerous an environment would make the outlaws lose the courage to fight in an instant.

The madness that can be indifferent to life and death will always belong to a few people, and has nothing to do with outlaws in ordinary scenes.

"What, falling into the illusion too deep will cause the relevant people to be unable to distinguish the difference between reality and illusion?

My question aside, what will happen to the four people who have fallen into a coma, they can't just become insane, right? ”

This was knowingly asked, it was for Ivan and his subordinates, Bai Ning only hoped that Gogol would not be confused and continue to make the current environment severe.

"The depth of falling into the illusion is related to the time when the person is trapped in the illusion, and it is also related to the person's ability to think critically.

In fact, this kind of thing is very simple to explain, the longer you fall into the illusion, or the faster you think, the more times you repeat the circle in the illusion.

When people fall into the illusion, they will instinctively desire to get out of the illusion, but if the result of getting out of the illusion itself is false, this kind of illusion that begins to cycle endlessly, will make people begin to doubt the reality of reality.

In this way, if we keep repeating and failing, our mentality will completely collapse, and the boundary between reality and illusion will be completely blurred.

At some point, when you are actually rescued from the illusion by someone else, you will also doubt the reality of the situation.

As for the subsequent collapse, madness is nothing more than your usual means of protecting yourself in an endless shattered illusion.

Killing one's own companions, or even oneself, to verify authenticity is a common practice for humans in extreme environments. ”

What Gogol said at this time can be regarded as a purely speculative summary of experience, or as a valid summary of one's own experience.

Based on Gogol's ability to backstab others, verifying the authenticity of the illusion by killing others must have been his usual method.

Moreover, the sequelae of the illusion that Gogol mentioned is actually not very new.

VR technology, which focuses on immersion and interactivity, can still only achieve 3D special effects with the naked eye as the main carrier of vision, and this so-called virtual reality technology is not enough to make people unclear the difference between reality and games.

In various games and urban legends, there is a kind of virtual reality technology with brain-computer interface, which allows people to immerse themselves in the game world while sleeping.

If there is no unique wake-up mechanism in this level of virtual reality technology, so that the player cannot clearly distinguish the moment of leaving the game, then the gamer will gradually get lost in the game world in repeated game immersion.

Eventually, these Lost will take the way they behave in the game and start killing and robbing people at will.

As for the dream immortality concept of the Daredevil Society, it is actually slightly similar to this one, they are all eternally sunk in the illusory world, but the members of the Daredevil Club are actively immersed in it.

"The fantasy content in this is actually not as dangerous as expected.

The illusion inside does not give people hallucinatory scenes outside of the logical level, and only uses the person's past experience as the main background of the illusion.

As for the repetition of the illusion, it is just a constant switch between the existing illusion scenes.

If you guess a little more boldly, the more deeply a memory is impressed in your mind, the more likely it is to become a fantasy background. ”

Although Gogol once again exposed a lot of effective information because of Bai Ning's personal presence in the illusion, because these things are not very novel, it is very likely that they are still Gogol's follow-up perfunctory.

Based on such speculation, Bai Ning boldly told his illusionary experience, and such understanding and speculation will inevitably have a certain impact on Gogol.

If the Gogol operation can be deformed by such external pressure, it will be of great benefit to the subsequent mutual game.

In the face of Bai Ning's description, Gogol still had a flat face, which aroused Jiang Yingxue's more interest.

"So, do you remember the previous fantasy content?"

Gogol said before that only a few people in the crowd could remember the content of the illusion, and once Bai Ning, an important existence, had this special attribute, it would be of great significance for subsequent expeditions.

Jiang Yingxue was a little out of shape when she asked, because the conversation between Bai Ning and Gogol just now made her too depressed, and the sudden release of emotions made her see the hope of continuing the adventure.

"Probably remember a little bit."

Bai Ning was probably perfunctory, not paying attention to Jiang Yingxue's mood swings, just staring at Gogol coldly, wanting to see his follow-up reaction.

Having experienced a deep illusion and not experiencing a deep illusion, Gogol is a completely different threat to everyone.

"It's true that there are very few people who can remember the content of the illusion, but this statement is not comprehensive, and it is a special case.

The impact of short-term illusion experience on the human brain is not too great, so most people can't remember the content of the illusion.

Once you are immersed in the illusion for a long time, the constant repetition of the illusion will tamper with the memory interval of the human brain, and no matter how dull you are, you will remember a lot of the content of the illusion.

That's why people who are deeply lost in illusion end up going insane.

In a way, the illusion can be seen as an obsession in the human heart, which at first is just a fleeting thought in the cerebral cortex, but as it grows and becomes an obsession, then it will completely take over the entire brain.

At that time, you are not in a fantasy in your mind, but in a kind of boundary between reality and illusion.

At this time, the five senses have no meaning at all for the senses of reality, because the feedback of the five senses of reality seems to your brain to be no different from false information feedback.

The fact that what is seen is not real or false, and what is heard by the ears is not true or false, can be interpreted as a deep illusion or as a person who has fallen into madness. ”

It is clear that Gogol ignored Bai Ning's hint that he wanted to reduce the dangerous influence, which was an outward manifestation of the total collapse of the tacit understanding between the top brassiers.

The game between Bai Ning and Gogol over dangerous influence has been going on for several rounds, and Gogol may have been completely tired of Bai Ning's vacillation, or he just wants to give Bai Ning more oppression in this new situation.

After all, Bai Ning had personally experienced the intensity of the illusion, which was subversive for the game of the situation in the field.

Gogol has completely abandoned the previous fundamentals of the game and extended to a wider area of uncontrollable territory.

This kind of brand-new start is indeed even more terrifying, and it shocked the cold sweat behind the backs of the outlaws not far away.

They glanced at the four unlucky ones on the ground who were still unconscious, and wondered if they would really go completely insane when they woke up.

This kind of commotion at the collective level cannot be silent, but has a tendency to intensify, and as long as it is not deliberately ignored, it is impossible to ignore this kind of spark that may trigger a mass riot.

The full sobriety of the outlaws makes the situation in the field no longer limited to high-level decision-making, and the effective drive of the outlaws will become a new game point for subsequent expeditions.

Jiang Yingxue was also keenly aware of the sudden change in the situation in the field, and waved his hand to signal Ivan, asking him to quickly suppress the restless emotions of the outlaws in the field, but it was a pity that Ivan's prestige in this special situation was no longer enough to convince the public, only a small number were suppressed, and the others still went their own way.

This collective pressure of the outlaws is unconscious, and it is also an instinctive thirst for survival, and they hope to get a guarantee of survival from Jiang Yingxue's mouth.

Gogol put a lot of pressure on Jiang Yingxue in itself, and now he was forced to the palace by a group of outlaws, and the anger in his heart flashed away, and then he gestured to Ah Long with his eyes.

"Bang!" The powerful explosion of the large-caliber pistol made the entire underground cavity seem to vibrate, and for a moment, the entire underground cavity was silent.

However, the sound of gunfire can suppress the noise, but it can't suppress the restlessness in the hearts of the outlaws, and the eyes of some outlaws begin to become unkind.

As Bai Ning said before, selling one's life and sending one's death are two different things, no one wants to be driven by cannon fodder, even if you really have such thoughts, you should express it in a more tactful way.

What's more, most of the heavy weapons are now in the hands of outlaws, and they have the capital to fight black guns and rebel.

The current state of affairs is caused by Gogol.

Continuing to glance at Gogol, who looked indifferent, Bai Ning knew that this sudden pressure was obviously creating a sense of collective anxiety.

It will be more difficult to send people to explore the underground space in the future, and it will be more difficult to drive ordinary outlaws, let alone make it easy for an absolute core like Gogol to take risks.

This is an extremely risky identity binding, which may cause the entire expedition plan to go bankrupt in an instant, but it will definitely ensure Gogol's safety during the subsequent expeditions.

Even thinking a little deeper, Gogol said that the three underground floors were in charge of him, which is most likely just a stopgap measure.

Perhaps, the team led by Gogol has never broken through the illusion labyrinth of the first two layers, and as for the existence of the existence of the absolute secret in the third layer, it is very likely that it is just Gogol's wishful thinking.

True and false, false and false, everything Gogol said was to achieve its own ends.

As for what this core purpose is, Bai Ning currently doesn't even know if Gogol has entered the illusion labyrinth, so it is even more impossible to know what Gogol's ultimate purpose is.

Gogol's instability is indeed not comparable to people like Ivan, and even to put it pessimistically, Bai Ning even needs to be mentally prepared to be fully deceived by Gogol.

Assuming that Gogol is just a madman trapped and dying in the depths of the Tunguska jungle, then the only result that this madman can bring is total destruction!
