Chapter Eighty-Nine: Lin Wei's Choice
"Skinner box, have you heard of it?"
It's still a strange question, but although Lin Wei's major is finance, she has also taken some elective courses in psychology. The Skinner box is Skinner's experiment on the action of operant conditioning.
For example, if a hungry mouse is placed in a box with a button, and each time the button is pressed, food drops, and the end result is that the mouse spontaneously learns to press the button. Extending this theory to human beings, Skinner argues that almost all human behavior is the result of operational reinforcement, and that it is possible for people to change the reactions of others through the influence of reinforcement.
In other words, through a series of positive or reverse guided stimuli, it is possible to construct the social model that the experimenter idealizes and presuppositions. Let's use the mouse as an example again, originally the mouse will inevitably drop a pill every time he presses the lever, which is obtained by probability.
The results of the experiment are very different from the previous ones, and without knowing whether the pills will be obtained after pressing the lever, the mouse's enthusiasm for pressing the lever is unprecedentedly high, and sometimes even if it has obtained enough food, it will still get carried away by pressing the lever again and again.
Think of the little mouse frantically pressing the lever in the dimly lit box, its madness, its hysteria. Is it the same as a human sitting in front of a slot machine and pressing a button, and then it is bigger, buying lottery tickets, stocks, lotteries, betting on horses, these are all a variant of the Skinner box.
"I took psychology as an elective in college, and my teacher emphasized it. Some madmen have twisted this theory and used some anti-human ways to construct their ideal society. ”
"You must be wondering, why am I telling you this?"
Zhao Yang didn't want to say such a big thing, but the psychological construction in advance was a must. After all, not everyone can manipulate people's will, even personality and memory, this has nothing to do with ability, it is related to a person's bottom line. And this power must be given to those who have a bottom line.
"You can't be such a madman, are you?"
Lin Wei was a little frightened at this time, the most unreasonable thing in this world is the kind of person who believes in his own theory, wishful thinking that the world should be what he imagined, and then does something that he seems to be for humanity, but is actually anti-human.
"Of course I'm not, I'm neutral at all times. If there was a more direct, quick, and powerful means or power to manipulate humans than the Skinner box experiment, would you want to get it?"
Foreshadowing here, Zhao Yang finally raised the most critical question.
Of course not, people have free will, and we should respect that free will. Any attempt to manipulate the will of others, regardless of the starting point, is evil. Even if I had this kind of power, I definitely wouldn't want it. ”
Lin Wei's thoughts are very resolute, she is a person who respects others very much, and usually cares about other people's feelings, so she will not manipulate the will of human beings.
A satisfied smile appeared on Zhao Yang's face, and he said happily: "Very good, it seems that you are very suitable to control this power." ”
"What power, what exactly do you want me to do?"
Lin Wei was still confused at this time, this person would not join any cult.
"This world is about to face a great catastrophe, and I have been chosen as the one to resist this catastrophe. I have some power in my hands to fight against calamity, but these powers can only be given to specific people, and you, I think, are one of the right people. ”
Isn't this the doctrine of doom? These old stalks are passed on every year, and people believe it every year, this Zhao Yang can't be a broken brain.
"You don't believe it now, so let me send you some information. ”
Zhao Yang turned around, raised his right index finger, and gently tapped it on Lin Wei's forehead, and some information about the previous werewolf transformation and some of the Crusu he actually perceived were transmitted to Lin Wei.
Lin Wei only felt that her consciousness seemed to have come to a space like a starry sky, surrounded by flashing images, there were hideous werewolves, and strange monsters the size of a small mountain, and it took a while for her to digest this information.
"These are the catastrophes that are coming?"
Lin Wei asked strangely.
"These are what have happened, just a small part, and there is more to come, than these. ”
Thinking of her elderly parents at home and the tragic things she had experienced before, Lin Wei quickly made a decision in her heart at this time. Since you can't resist fate, go and enjoy it!
"I joined. ”
Lin Wei said briefly and resolutely, in fact, she is a very decisive person, in all aspects, she can be called the elite of the elite, but, on the one hand, she has lived a good life since she was a child, and she doesn't need to worry about anything; on the other hand, she is also subconsciously rejecting herself who is so strong in her heart, she regards herself as a little woman who longs for love and care, so she will fall into Li Hao's way.
Hearing Lin Wei's words, Zhao Yang looked at her appreciatively. This woman looks intellectual and weak, but in fact, she is just hiding her overly strong inner self, and in the environment where she has lived since she was a child, she does not need to exert so much energy. It wasn't until these recent events that some of her potential was slowly sparked.
"Very well, empty your private restaurant at night, and at twelve o'clock at midnight, we will hold the conversion ceremony there. ”
"So what do I need to prepare?"
It won't be any strange thing, some creature's feathers, blood, some strange plants, or anything like that. Lin Wei couldn't help but recall that in the fantasy movies she saw, the protagonist arranged a magic circle with some strange things on it to summon demons or devils.
"Take a good shower, eat something, wait quietly, that's all. ”
The transformation of the Psychic Warlock is mainly in the spiritual world, and there is no need to make any preparations on the outside. Of course, it is still necessary to protect the enchantment of the heart demon and the evil god of the other dimension.
"Okay, I'll go back and wait for you. Let's hope I made the right choice. ”
Although Lin Wei had already made a decision at this time, it was actually better to die when he was terminally ill than to face those terrifying monsters. It's just that although she is not afraid of life and death, once such a big change comes, her parents can only be protected by her, and after having a certain amount of power, she also has some things she wants to do but can't do.
"You made the right choice, and time will tell. This power is incomparably precious, and I hope that I am not wrong. ”
Zhao Yang replied with the same words, the choice is a two-way street.
