Chapter 617 Ways to Resist Pollution (Da Zhang asks for a monthly ticket)
Dim lights illuminate the dreary road ahead.

The invisible pollution that spreads in every inch of space is like a dull drum beating on people's heart, beating again and again.

Zhang Yusi looked up at He Ao in front of him, then lowered his head to look at the blood-stained road under his feet.

They had only walked more than 100 meters, and the corridors they saw were basically empty areas that were destroyed, or electronic equipment that was completely damaged.

And within more than 100 meters, Zhang Yusi deeply understood the meaning of the phrase 'pollution is everywhere' that He Ao just said.

With the death of the sea anemone monster, the strong impact of pollution also faded away. For a short time, Zhang Yusi thought that everything would return to her unpolluted state.

But as time passed, she gradually realized that people should not be too naive.

If there are loud noises ringing in the ears, then small noises will be undetectable.

And when the noisy noise disappears, within a short period of time, people will feel that the world has quieted down.

But the world will not be quiet, the tiny noise still echoes in the ears, and as the surrounding environment quiets down, it becomes more abrupt.

Zhang Yusi is in this state now.

Every few steps she takes, the world in front of her eyes will flash briefly, and some illusory images will be superimposed on the real scene, disturbing her perception.

Sometimes she would hear some inexplicable calls or laughter, and sometimes it was like passing through a densely populated vegetable market, but this bustling market had no corresponding hustle and bustle, and the silence was like a ghost land. When it was time, it seemed as if someone was whispering in her ear.

These 'things' did not deliberately guide her perception as just now, and many times, like flashbacks, they were fleeting.

But with this chaotic scene, it became increasingly difficult for her to distinguish reality from fantasy.

For a moment, she thought all of this was a dream, and she was still doing boring experiments in that small laboratory in the northern capital.

The absurd phantom in front of me is not a relic or pollution, but,

It's just that she's crazy.

Between the superposition of reality and illusion, this short distance of 100 meters seems to be as long as a marathon.

"Empty your distracting thoughts, don't think about anything, don't think about anything."

The calm and calm words pulled Zhang Yusi out of the chaotic thoughts.

She raised her head and looked at He Ao's back.

He Ao didn't look back, but kept moving forward at a steady speed. His steps were steady, and every step was like the bell of an ancient temple on a high mountain, calling Zhang Yusi back from his chaotic and crazy thoughts.

"Calm down, don't doubt yourself,"

Howe continued, "Don't think about what those chaotic things are, these mild pollution can improve your ability to distinguish, because they will not create a completely 'real' illusion, you can still distinguish What is reality and what is illusion, grasp the reality and stabilize your thoughts."

He Ao turned his head and looked at Zhang Yusi, "The most important thing is, never forget who you are,"

He turned around and continued forward, "If you encounter pollution that you really can't resist, imagine yourself as an idiot who can't think and only remembers names. Although you may become a real idiot, an idiot is With a name, he will not forget who he is."

"Ok!"

Zhang Yusi nodded half understanding.

Following He Ao's footsteps, she began to let go of her thoughts, summarizing and looking for the characteristics of the real world in the flickering grotesque illusions.

In fact, as long as we have the right direction, the characteristics of the real world are not nowhere to be found.

Because Zhang Yusi herself has a basic understanding of the real world, which anchors her thinking and allows her to naturally come up with what the real world should look like in her brain.

Which scenarios are illogical or should not occur.
For example, what just flashed before her eyes, in this dark environment of the ruins, was a little boy with a pale face holding a balloon running towards her.

This kind of thing is illogical.

In addition to scenes and phenomena, she will also summarize the problems she perceives, such as which whispers are not ringing in her ears, but ringing in her mind, which should not be made, and for example, is the wind blowing across her arms real? The wind, or the sudden illusion.

All these things made her understand the real world more clearly.

The hallucinations that affected her have not disappeared, and the things that interfere with her cognition have not been hidden, but her mental and thinking state has become more and more clear.

She has been able to gradually find the boundary between reality and fantasy, and has begun to figure out the knack of maintaining her thinking.

Stay focused and think less.

Of course, this reduction in thinking does not mean giving up thinking in a unified way, but trying to maintain the single-mindedness of thinking as much as possible when illusions appear, and maintain a higher frequency of thinking when in reality.

Although this method was a bit uncomfortable at first and was hard to get used to, but due to the super high thinking ability of the 'researcher' talent, she quickly adapted to it.

Her originally heavy and slow steps gradually regained her briskness.

He Ao, who was walking in front, heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the brisk footsteps.

In fact, the way to simplify thinking and resist pollution is mentioned in the training of the FBI. The FBI requires investigators to keep their thinking as simple as possible when facing pollution erosion, which can reduce the chance of being polluted and maintain rationality.

The idiot method can be said to be an extreme case of this method of thinking simplification, that is, when faced with irresistible pollution, give up all thinking and imagine yourself as an idiot who only remembers the name to increase the duration of sanity.

Although in that extreme case, this method actually doesn't make much sense.

The method He Ao taught Zhang Yusi is not simply a method of simplifying thinking. When the simplified method resists this kind of high-level pollution, the effect is actually much weaker, because under this level of pollution and interference, it is not If the polluted person wants to empty his mind, he can empty his mind.

Those messy ravings will naturally give birth to messy thinking.

So in the face of this situation, in fact, resistance is better than 'avoidance'.

The only thing that can resist thinking is thinking.

So in addition to teaching Zhang Yusi to 'simplify', He Ao also deliberately guided her to 'focus'.

In fact, this method of guiding concentration is an immature method of resisting pollution.

This method does not come from the memory of the dungeon character, but He Ao deduced it himself after reviewing Jess' experience.

Jess is a very special 'duplicate character', his special is not in his experience, but in his state.

He is always facing the direct pollution of a high-level existence, and there are even crazy thoughts in his mind.

But he is not crazy.

In fact, in a sense, Jess is equivalent to a "half god". Although he is weak, he can go straight into the madness to spy on the truth.

Although he can't maintain basic thinking in a crazy state, nor can he really control the crazy state, and the truths he sees can't be remembered.

But he can still spy on the truth at the bottom of the world with a weak body, and he is not crazy when he is so close to the truth.

Relying on his nostalgia for the once beautiful world and his hatred for the mysterious person, Jess maintained his last sanity in the deepest madness.

This reminded He Ao of a kind of existence, 'Angel'.

In the underground library of Iliaan in Rock City, He Ao once read a book called "The Radiant Sanctuary".

It is mentioned that all angels are indescribable monsters and minions of the gods.

But in the knowledge he knows, the counterexample of this assertion is the legion leader of Dawn City, an angel who maintains a human form.

In the later murals that recorded the history of the Fountain of Youth, He Ao also saw the footprints of a human-shaped angel. The angel who called himself a "wizard" buried the Fountain of Youth after defeating the puppet controlled by the Fountain of Youth.

That is to say, at least at the end of the era of cataclysm in the dungeon world, some people have mastered the method of promotion without turning into monsters.

Howe didn't know what it was that finally turned all the original angels into monsters, but the influence of those crazy world truths was not ruled out.

And Jess is the one who has resisted the pollution of these truths.

And his method of resisting pollution seems to be an indelible obsession.

But this kind of obsession cannot be copied, and He Ao doesn't want to copy it, so he tries to weaken it according to the attributes of this obsession, and then summarizes this based on the experience of previous characters and the core principle of simplified thinking. a focused method.

After all, obsession is also a kind of extreme concentration in a sense.

Of course, he doesn't know if this method is really effective.

So he combined this method with the method of simplifying thinking, and told Zhang Yusi.

Of course, he didn't directly tell Zhang Yusi to focus, inexplicable focus is invalid, there must be a certain point of focus that can guide his true thinking.

He Ao took a trick and set this focus to the real world.

Zhang Yusi, who was affected by the pollution and torment, longed for a real and peaceful world. He Ao guided her to this desire, allowing her to concentrate better.

In fact, the place of focus is not important, what is important is to maintain focus in the true sense, to maintain an almost persistent focus on what you desire.

But the final result was somewhat beyond He Ao's expectation.

Zhang Yusi's talent sequence is very strong in improving thinking ability, and she is very smart, so she quickly comprehended the essentials of concentration and dynamically regulated her thoughts.

In a short time, she had adjusted herself out of her polluted state and was becoming more and more conscious.

He Ao originally thought that it would take some time to see the effect.

This focused approach has proven to be very effective.

He Ao vaguely felt that he had touched some kind of unusually secret knowledge.

"He Department,"

Zhang Yusi, whose mind was gradually relaxed, finally had the mind to observe the surrounding scenes. Her eyes swept over the damaged machinery and messy wires in the corridor,

"If this is really a spaceship belonging to the remnant civilization, will we have a chance to meet the living remnant people on this spaceship?"

"do not know."

Howard shook his head.

After so many years, under such strong pollution, there is a high probability that there will be no living people, and even if they are alive, they may not be human.

Zhang Yusi also knew in his heart that this was unlikely.

She sighed slightly.

In this silent space.

There are no living people, only a spaceship with relics, so why not a tombstone floating in space.

A civilized tombstone.

The two continued to walk a few steps forward, and the originally dim lights above their heads became even dimmer. Out of every five lights, four were broken, and the remaining one flickered and flickered, almost as if it had been extinguished.

Zhang Yusi turned on the flashlight, shining in the darkness.

The positions of the two became oblique, with Zhang Yusi walking in front and He Ao walking behind.

Moving forward, the surrounding pollution became more intense, the lights in the corridor had completely disappeared, and all the lights were destroyed.

The two could only move forward slowly by the light of the flashlight.

The damaged mechanical equipment around them emitted a little light from time to time, indicating that they still had some kind of vitality.

He Ao scanned the surrounding environment with the faint light of the flashlight.

In this dark area, it seems that some kind of fierce battle has taken place, and the remains of damaged robots are scattered everywhere.

Most of these robots are not combat robots equipped with weapons, but some cleaning robots, engineering robots.

Broken mechanical arms, lying barrel wreckage can be seen everywhere.

Corresponding to these mechanical wreckages are thick, dried dark brown blood stains on the ground.

However, although there are many bloodstains here, there are no human bones.

In fact, He Ao has noticed this since he just came here.

In this 'scene', there are bloodstains everywhere, but there is no place where human bones are left.

He suppressed the thoughts in his heart and continued to move forward.

The further you go, the more robot wreckage will be stacked.

Because they had to constantly pass over the wreckage of the robot in front of them, the speed of the two of them also slowed down a lot.

Zhang Yusi controlled the brilliance of the flashlight to sweep across the gaps between the robot wreckage.

For some reason, she always felt that in the gap between the deep and dark robot wreckage, something was watching them.

At this moment, a white sword light flashed above her head.

The flesh and blood spider that leaped out from the gap in the depths of the darkness was cut open by the sword and fell to the ground, blood spattering on the remains of the robot.

At this moment, pairs of bright red eyes burst out from the gaps in the robot wreckage.

"Run forward."

Before Zhang Yusi could react, he heard He Ao's shout.

Without hesitation, she rushed forward following He Ao's instructions.

In the dark corridor, red flesh spiders kept pouring out from among the wreckage of the robots, densely packed, like a wave overwhelming the sky.

The sharp metal limbs knocked on the ancient machinery, making a tinkling and piercing sound.

He Ao's sword light flashed from time to time, splitting the rushing flesh spider into two.

His sword light was extremely fast, and sometimes he would cut down four or five spiders with one strike.

"He Bu, there seems to be light ahead."

Zhang Yusi crossed a mechanical wreckage, glanced ahead, and shouted quickly.

She held a heavy pistol in her hand, and kept firing, knocking down the fleshy spiders that popped up in front of her.

Her reaction speed is not so fast, but the pressure she is under is not so great. Relying on careful observation and prediction, she can often attack before the flesh spiders in front of her make a move, and generally keep the front. The smoothness of the road.

"past."

He Ao walked beside her, and cut a flesh spider with his sword again.

The speed of the two was very fast, and they arrived at the Guanghui door in an instant. At this time, a fleshy spider jumped out of the gap, facing Zhang Yusi's cheek.

The bright flashlight illuminated the appearance of the flesh spider's abdomen. It was not a flat abdomen, but a huge mouth full of fangs.

Almost at the same time that the monster jumped out, Zhang Yusi raised his pistol and pointed it at the center of the monster's huge mouth.

Accompanied by a crisp gunshot, the flesh and blood spider was violently sent flying.

The two figures, one in front of the other, entered the radiance.

The bright light illuminated the vision of the two of them at that moment, and even made the two who were used to the dark light a little bit unable to open their eyes.

And the fleshy spider that was like a tide behind it quickly shrank back after touching the edge of the light.

Seeing this scene, He Ao frowned slightly.

"Hebu, look."

At this time, Zhang Yusi beside him suddenly shouted.

He Ao turned around and followed Zhang Yusi's line of sight.

On their right, is a huge long viewing window.

At this moment, the two are standing next to the viewing window.

A majestic giant fusiform object that almost occupied half of the viewing window appeared in He Ao's sight.
