Lord of Arcane

Chapter 811 Conscious Pollution
Just when Xia Duo was about to launch a surprise attack in the way of drow, he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he suddenly heard a voice in the dark constantly warning him, warning him not to do this.

Discovering something abnormal, Xia Duo immediately became vigilant, no matter whether there was such a voice or not, it seemed that now was no longer the best time to launch a surprise attack.

Quietly exiting Gurnett's study, Xia Duo stopped in the shadow of the courtyard outside. After calming down, he gradually realized the problem.

It may be the sequelae left by the memory of "Brandon" from the previous immersive experience, which made him adapt to Zall's way of thinking and acting almost effortlessly.

Maybe he often reminded himself consciously that he was Xia Duo, not Brandon, but the subconscious influence was hard to rule out.

Therefore, when thinking of practicing hands, he immediately chose to do it in drow's way, and his superficial consciousness didn't notice the slightest abnormality, he just thought it was just his own thoughts.

It wasn't until before he made a move that he suddenly realized that perhaps somewhere, his subconscious was unwilling to be polluted by the outside world!

After thinking about these things, Xia Duo couldn't help but sigh with emotion. The projection trip this time was really accident-prone. First, he was tortured by the light prison, then he was perverted and hot eyes, and now there is subconscious pollution. I don't know if it will appear again. What an unexpected situation!
But the most important thing now is not the so-called hand training, but to solve the problem of consciousness as soon as possible. Thinking of this, Xia Duo immediately left the Gurnett Library without looking back.

After that, he retreated all the way, until he was far away from Domtos City, he found a hiding place and entered the portable space.

If he doesn't want to leave this projection plane, only in the portable space can he avoid the influence of this drow's body to the greatest extent.

As for the existing consciousness pollution, Xia Duo is not helpless.

This so-called pollution is not enough to allow a large amount of information to be mixed and organized to form a certain logic of thinking and action. As long as the root cause of it can be clarified and the original self-cognition can be traced, these pollutions can be well avoided.

And this happens to be what Xia Duo is good at.

With the ability of memory tracing, he can restore his thoughts at every moment in the past to the greatest extent, and can "record" any bit of external information without worrying about receiving unknown influences at a certain moment .

It’s just that this ability must be used frequently, just like the backup of computers on the earth. A time node can only prove that it is safe before that time. If you want to back up again later (confirm safety), you need to recheck the last backup to The situation between this backup.

Of course, human consciousness is always influenced by external information all the time, and the whole is in a relatively stable and dynamic equilibrium state.

This state can be understood as a person's [personality], or [mental model].

If the soul is the hardware, then the personality is probably the software running on this hardware.

Compared with the soul, Xia Duo feels that the personality is more representative of a person's self.

……

Of course, since personality is a relatively stable and dynamically balanced state of consciousness, Xia Duo actually does not reject personality changes.

It's just that these changes must be changes after his personality has been confirmed in the past. If it is a change that has not been confirmed and accepted, it can only be classified as external pollution.

The ancients in my hometown often said "I examine myself three times a day", which actually has this meaning.

Once a person feels relatively satisfied with the Three Views, he will continue to operate in this mode in the future, but if he wants to continue to operate stably, he must always introspect and maintain this mode.

It is more appropriate to say that it is a change, but it is actually an [independent upgrade].

Xia Duo is naturally relatively satisfied with his previous personality state, and now it is obviously not the so-called [autonomous upgrade].

Therefore, after realizing that drow's memory had a considerable impact on himself, he immediately gave up his original actions and began to introspect.

Ego is the top priority, which is related to whether a person is himself or not. Other problems are based on the "I am I".

What's the point of anything else if "I" has become "not-I"!

……

In the hidden place, Xia Duo keeps the overlapping state of the portable space and the projection plane, which is equivalent to being in the portable space and the projection plane at the same time.

Looking back on memory, as long as he can have the state of being in the portable space, it is enough to eliminate the interference caused by the projected body.

And shortly before entering the projection position this time, Xia Duo had just performed a full memory retrospective, of course it was the first time, so it could be regarded as saving a "backup" of personality.

His current tracing started from that "backup".

During the period before entering the projection plane, there was no abnormality until he was projected as the drow "Brandon", a large amount of foreign information kept pouring into his memory, impacting his consciousness.

Going back to the past again, starting from the "backup" personality in the past, Xia Duo almost re-examined bit by bit, and soon he discovered how this information changed his personality bit by bit.

In layman's terms, some information is automatically marked as "trusted files" by his subconscious mind, and these "trusted files" accumulate more and more, and they are automatically combined into existences similar to "viruses", which are different from his normal files. Personality, and the thinking and behavior patterns that interfere with his normal personality, more bluntly speaking, it is "Brandon personality".

But now, what Xia Duo has to do is to temporarily ignore the automatic judgments made by the subconscious mind in the past, and use the past "backup personality" to make active judgments again.

All of this is time-consuming and labor-intensive, almost no less than re-experience the experience after entering the projection plane, and it is the kind of detail, including all the information from all perception angles including the normal five senses, magic net, and even intuition.

Among them, the most difficult thing is not the experience of living in the prison of light, but the time when he experienced Brandon's memory immersively.

Although the time passed in the projection plane is very short, which is not worth mentioning compared to the main plane, it has almost hundreds of years in Xia Duo's consciousness.

Over the past few hundred years, Brandon has received all the information from his normal five senses, the magic net, and even his intuition.

With the accumulation of a large amount of information, even with a conscious self-protection mechanism, it is difficult not to have a negative impact on consciousness.

In other words, it is already a miracle that Xia Duo was not assimilated into "Brandon"!

Maybe it's because he has too much experience on earth, or maybe it's the new soul state after his bloodline awakened last time, which played a positive role in stabilizing his consciousness.

But no matter what, he is now going to set things right and clean up the root cause!
