358. More thorough self-deception
Lloyd looked at Professor Lawrence with an uncomfortable and painful expression, holding his head in his hands, his body trembling slightly, he was also very worried, and hurriedly asked:
"Professor? Are you alright? Why don't I send you to the medical faculty first? β
"No...... I can do it...... Deal...... I've fought with you......"
Professor Lawrence replied incoherently.
It's bad, it's bad, the professor really took the wrong medicine, right? What are you talking about?
Lloyd was even more worried now, so he wondered if he should also stick a 'dumb hair' on the professor's head to help him relieve his pain?
But I didn't dare, because all the stupid hairs I had inserted before were discovered, and I was advised not to do it casually, which was easy to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
So Lloyd could only wait anxiously by the side.
Fortunately, after a while, Professor Lawrence's mental state has visibly improved, it should be that the previous can of potion has taken effect, right?
Wait another half a minute, and he will be able to speak:
"Whew...... There should be no problem, after this battle, you kid don't want to ...... in the future."
Professor Lawrence was a little reluctant to speak, but after all, he still did not finish his words, and immediately changed his words and said:
"Alright, give me a closer look at the data."
Lloyd was also confused when he heard it, wondering what was wrong with the professor? But it should look quite normal anyway, not like he really took the wrong medicine, so he also put his mind at ease and quickly pulled a few light curtains in front of the other party.
Professor Lawrence then took a closer look at the data, focusing on Lloyd's previous records.
Earlier, he just listened to Lloyd's verbal description, and all kinds of unbelievable and unacceptable 'strange words', what controlled space storms, and what unauthorized space diving, all had a rather heavy impact on his spirit and cognition.
In particular, the two sentences 'the principle is very simple' and 'it doesn't seem to be difficult' have intensified, and suddenly the old professor's 'condition' has worsened.
Fortunately, Professor Lawrence is also one of the strongest professors in Mizkatokry, although his spirit and cognition have been shocked enough by Lloyd's wave, but he has been mentally building himself up with enough vaccinations in front of him.
And Lloyd can be regarded as 'conscientious', knowing that Hu compiled a 'new ability learned from textbooks', which helped Professor Lawrence relieve a lot of pressure to a certain extent.
Therefore, the crumbling cognitive system was finally forcibly stabilized by Professor Lawrence in various ways of self-comfort, self-deception, and self-reminder.
After this wave survived, Professor Lawrence could clearly feel that his previous deep-rooted cognitive concepts have become more stable and flexible because of this wave of 'unbreakable and unbroken'.
At the same time, he also took 'Lloyd is not a human, but a humanoid creature born in another space, with a natural sensitivity to another space and an innate ability to manipulate' as the underlying cognition, which is deeply embedded in his own cognitive system.
In other words, he used to think that Lloyd was not human, and that he was somewhat self-comforting and self-deceptive, but now he really thinks so.
It must also be thought that way, otherwise Lloyd's various miraculous operations today will be completely unexplained.
Therefore, with such an underlying cognitive foundation, Professor Lawrence's cognitive system has been effectively and safely completed, and on this basis, a simple cognitive remodeling has been carried out.
Can it also be thought of as a deeper, more thorough self-deception?
Anyway, human beings have always been a kind of creature that only wants to believe in what they want to believe.
In short, when Professor Lawrence looks at Lloyd's various operation records, although he will still be secretly frightened, he will not be shaken to the cognitive system, and his life will no longer be in danger.
This process of cognitive reshaping is simple, but it is undoubtedly full of dangers, and Professor Lawrence almost can't hold it back, but after he has recovered it, he still thinks that it is worth it, and even makes a lot of money.
Because the large number of operational records left by Lloyd alone is worth setting up a special research group for this purpose to study carefully.
If he can understand it thoroughly, especially when it comes to controlling space storms, Professor Lawrence has reason to believe that his attainments in the field of practical space technology can take a big step forward.
Even in the two fields of basic space theory and space equipment research and development, which are not his specialty, he can make some breakthroughs and progress.
If it goes further, it can also allow the entire space system, and even all mankind, to enjoy the benefits and dividends brought by this technological development!
After Professor Lawrence reshaped his cognition, he couldn't help but look forward to what kind of new future this magical Lloyd could lead mankind towards.
Of course, the premise is to be able to fully understand the ......
Professor Lawrence looked at the operation record of this line, and while exclaiming in his heart, he secretly sneered:
It is really worthy of being a creature born in another dimension, and this series of operation records alone is enough for the project team to study for several years, and it is not difficult to mix in a few 'excellent academic' medals.
And what kind of new ability he learned in textbooks, which is actually his instinct as a creature in another space, right? If I could learn this kind of knowledge in textbooks, I wouldn't have been so miserable by this kid......
But he must have taken into account my state, so he changed such a statement that I was relatively easy to accept, right?
Heh~ Although it is not human, it is much more reliable and cute than most humans......
I don't know how his self-perception as a human being was shaped? Did you enter human society when you were still a child, and then you were exposed to it from an early age?
Do you want to check it out?
Forget it...... In case of......
Well...... Just in case...... In case of......
Professor Lawrence thought for a moment, then continued to concentrate, and quickly went through the transcript of Lloyd's operations.
To be honest, when he saw the part of him using space diving equipment to control the space storm, Professor Lawrence couldn't understand what he was doing at all......
Space diving is a very, very dangerous field that most people don't dare to try at all.
According to the normal process, if you want to go on a space dive, you need to prepare months in advance, and you need to prepare from all directions before you dare to try it at a shallow level.
But even so, the slightest carelessness in the process will cause irreparable permanent damage to the thinking consciousness.
And this is quite an optimistic end, more likely, the thinking consciousness is forever lost in a different space, never to come back; Or accidentally encountered an unknown danger hidden in another dimension, and fell madly on the spot.
After all, in this seemingly boundless alien space, no one knows how many ghosts are hidden inside......
In short, space diving is too dangerous and too troublesome, so the corresponding set of diving equipment, after a limited number of attempts, and after losing a few researchers, it was thrown away in the corner area of the laboratory, and basically no one dared to move.
Professor Lawrence remembered that Professor Hiltina had only risked using it once the last time he had used it to rescue the archaeological team, and that he had had to check the records to remember when he had used it last time.
But Professor Hiltina is a sage, it's still safe to play space diving, of course she dares.
And this kid Lloyd......
Well, he dared, maybe even space diving was like a fish being released into the sea for him.
However, although Professor Lawrence did not understand Lloyd's operation very well, it did not prevent him from commenting:
"Hmm...... Interesting...... It's bold...... Wonderful...... Okay, good...... Oh? I see...... Yes, yes, yes......"
So Lloyd didn't think much about it, and hurriedly asked:
"Professor, I should be fine with this, right?"
"Theoretically, there shouldn't be, and it's really simple in principle, right? Although it is likely that the other party is controlling this cage in a higher dimension, you use the space storm to directly disorganize the surrounding chaos, so that the other party has nothing to do......
It's really a smart choice, it's like smashing the chessboard directly, so even the most clever chess player is helpless, right? β
Professor Lawrence said, inadvertently revealing a bit of higher-dimensional information, wanting to see what the alien creature of Lloyd had to say about it.
Lloyd was really stunned slightly, and then tapped his palm.
"I see! I'll just say, how can this guy be so tricky, let a not too small space cage run around, and it turns out to be some kind of higher-dimensional means? β
After that, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
The professor didn't seem to be aware of my 'textbook ability'? Or was I prevaricated?
Call...... That's good, to be honest, I don't really believe this improvised excuse......
Maybe the professor is desperate to save someone or something, right?
But...... Is this opponent that powerful? Can you even grasp the power of the higher dimensional level?
Forget it, don't think about this for now, it's better to rescue people first.
Lloyd thought for a moment, then continued:
"Now that we've got to this point, there's no problem, so let's move on to the next step, shall we?"
Professor Lawrence did not rush to speak, but was slightly surprised.
Belch...... He wasn't as shocked as I expected?
But immediately thought about it again, what big scene have people not seen in a different space? For him, the higher dimensions may have been thought of in advance, or even touched, right?
Forget it, let's save people first.
So Professor Lawrence asked:
"What's next for you?"
"I was going to open the door directly, but I vaguely felt that something was dangerous, something was not right...... So there was no rash action, I suspect that the other party may have set some kind of trap near the cage? β
"Vaguely feeling danger?"
"yes, it's like some kind of intuition, right? Like a lot of investigators have. β
"Hmm...... At times like these, you really should trust your instincts. β
Professor Lawrence nodded on the surface and did not continue to dwell on the question, but in fact made a different judgment in his heart:
What investigator's intuition can detect danger and abnormality from such a distance? A legendary investigator in literature?
This is something unique to your creatures in another dimension, right?
Although Professor Lawrence felt that he had guessed the correct answer, he did not say anything, but continued to ask:
"Do you need any help from me?"
"I want you to help me deal with the possible dangers over there, clean up the possible [forgetting], at least so that I can get out all the hostages through the portal, this process must be fast, otherwise the other side will detect it, and it is likely to tear up the ticket blatantly."
"No problem, give me some time to prepare."
Professor Lawrence said dryly, then reached out and pulled open a portal and walked inside.
Neither of them realized that the rescue operation had unwittingly become led by Lloyd, assisted by the professor.
After a few minutes, Professor Lawrence returned to the lab and was completely refreshed.
The very rigid mage robe on his body was replaced by a set of light armor with a very classical atmosphere, which protected the upper body; The belt in the middle was covered with all sorts of equipment that Lloyd had never seen before......
Then on the feet are a pair of glittering leather boots, I don't know what kind of leather they are made of, although it seems somewhat vulgar, but it exudes the unique charm of the holy relic.
And in his hands, on his back, were two spearsβ
One makes it impossible to tell whether it is a spear or a staff; One is a bolt-action rifle that looks very advanced.
The only equipment on his head that Lloyd had seen once before, the brand new mage hat he had worn once before.
"Okay, it should be fine, whatever is behind that portal, or what is hidden, I think it should be able to help you fend off for a while."
"Uh...... This...... ...... true"
Lloyd replied with some embarrassment.
In fact, when he was about to open the door before, although he did feel a reminder of inspiration and strange intuition, it was not to the point of beating gongs and drums to open the table, and just jumped to remind him to be careful.
So although there is a danger, it should not be too big.
But looking at the old professor's equipment, why does he look like he is going to fight with the heir of the evil god?
