Chapter 251, Cognitive Biases

The very sharp and unpleasant voice of the black fog man was nothing to Li You.

Those unpleasant-sounding speeches in its mouth, to Li You, who was born in Zaun,... also belonged to pediatrics.

but……

"I...look like a cockroach??"

There is no doubt that the "cockroaches" that the black mist population refers to are the same species as the cockroaches they know.

Li You's now chaotic mind is full of the other party's "description" about himself.

"Hard carapace...long tentacles..."

Looking down at the thick white knight on his body, Li You could barely connect his armor...to the hard carapace.

As for the tentacles, pustules?
Just as Li Youlen was in a mess in the wind, the Heiwu man on the opposite side stepped back a little, and continued to make a sharp and piercing sound.

"Although in this barren world filled with darkness, it is surprising to encounter intelligent life."

"But if... you can't silence your restless kin."

"I'm afraid I can only kill them all..."

"..."

"Getting ready to move??"

Hearing the words of the Black Mist Man, Li You couldn't help but look at the Hines knights on the side.

Even though more than a dozen people have been killed by the Black Mist, the remaining knights...have not forgotten their responsibilities.

At this time, they all held up the swallow-shaped shields in their hands, and firmly guarded Li You in the center of the formation.

Not to mention any imminent movements, the knights didn't even make a sound.

Even the "portable strong-light searchlight" that was pointing straight at the Heiwu man was lowered by Li You's gesture just now.

"Why do you say that……"

"My... fellow clansmen didn't move at all, and didn't even make a sound!"

Li You spoke with some doubts, and the man in the black mist on the opposite side seemed to be surprised when he heard something.

Even the black mist that was constantly churning and overflowing around him stopped for a moment.

"Oh?"

Seeming to have discovered something interesting, the black fog man leaned forward slightly, his head without facial features looked straight at Li You.

"Communication with you makes me seem to have discovered something extraordinary!"

"If this conjecture is true... then, I am afraid this will be a huge discovery that will shock the entire multiverse!"

As the black mist man spoke, he continued to lower his head made of black mist and said:
"This, the unknown Mr. Monster... I don't know what kind of image I... look like in your eyes?"

"..."

"what do you mean?"

Hearing the Black Mist Man's words, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed across Li You's heart.

"You mean, what we see and hear...may not be true?"

"exactly!"

The black mist man nodded and continued:
"It seems to me that your kindred...doesn't seem to have any possibility of communication."

"After all, to my ears, their calls, or voices, are really extremely unpleasant."

"If it was me many years ago, I would even be numb by this voice..."

"..."

After a long silence, Li You decided to "tell the truth" to the Heiwu people.

"It seems to me that you are a humanoid monster made of mist."

"It's about three meters tall, with no facial features, and two hands... that look like huge blades."

Li You's voice fell, and the black fog man opposite him was stunned for a moment.

Then, as if hearing some huge joke, he let out a very ugly laugh.

"Hahaha, interesting... so interesting!"

"Is this the so-called dark world?"

"So it is, so it is!!"

While yelling "So that's how it is", the Heiwu man even took two steps towards Li You excitedly.

"This will be a discovery that will shock countless worlds! My friend!"

"I think, if I'm not mistaken, your real appearance...is not what I described. It's a huge erect insect that looks unpleasant...Is it?"

"..."

"A gigantic erect insect?"

Hearing this, Li You was able to completely confirm his previous guess.

He... and the man in the black mist opposite him, probably fell into a strange "cognitive bias".

In each other's eyes, what they see...is not what the other really looks like at all.

"But, why... can we communicate normally without any hindrance?"

A trace of doubt flashed in his heart, but Li You didn't feel that... it was the man from the black mist opposite him who was deceiving him.

With the strength of this black mist man, I'm afraid it won't take even a few seconds.

Li You, including all the Haines knights present... can be killed completely.

Li You's own trump card... "portable strong light searchlight" has been confirmed to be ineffective against this black fog man.

At least so far, apart from the "Floating Cannon Beam Cannon" on the "King of Pride", Li You can't think of any other weapons...he can use them for a try.

"I……"

"My kindred and I are all human beings."

Looking at the group of Hines knights who fell to the ground, Li You shook his head bitterly and continued:

"Based on my limited cognition, we are carbon-based life forms, upright walking primates, possessing extremely high intelligence... have created extremely brilliant civilizations."

"...We don't belong to this world either."

"You can understand that we were kidnapped."

"..."

"OK OK……"

Waving his hands excitedly, the Black Mist continued impatiently:
"My friend, you don't have to go into that detail."

"In this era of multiverses, humans are the only overlords."

"Any alien race is either eliminated or expelled to a desolate place like the "Dark World"."

"I really didn't expect... In the dark world, there are still organized human beings!"

"Big discovery, this is a big discovery!"

"The Supreme Council's issue of "attacking the darkness" has been temporarily put on hold for hundreds of thousands of years because of the number of votes..."

……

In the excited narration, the Black Mist man "rubbed" his two blade arms in a way that Li You couldn't understand.

"This, this is really unimaginable!"

"My friend, may I ask... how many humans are left in this world today?"

"..."

"How many are left?"

Feeling sour, Li You immediately thought of the cold "number" in the chat channel.

According to the guesses of those selected in the chat channel today.

"Screening" Now, about 80% of the original total of more than 90 billion Blue Star people are dead.

"I think, I think... probably only a few hundred million people."

"..."

"Hundreds of... hundreds of millions of people!!"

As if hearing something shocking, the black mist man's tone was full of shock.

"Oh my god...kidnapping! You just said that you were kidnapped!!"

"So what was your total number before you were kidnapped?"

"..."

"Probably ten times that number, around 80 billion."

In Li You's somewhat downcast answer, the Heiwu man even took several steps backwards this time.

"How dare you!"

"I really can't think of it! In this era! There are still people who dare to kidnap a whole world... Kidnapping a whole world of humans!!"

"From the central world to the outskirts of the universe! The entire multiverse...hasn't heard such a horrible thing for a long time!!"

Perhaps it was emotionally infected by Li You's words. At this time, the black mist all over the black mist man seemed to be boiled, and it boiled violently.

"My friend, please leave with me immediately!"

"I'm Iska, the world explorer from the Great World of Siken!"

"We must report this news to the Supreme Council immediately!"

"Even in this barren and dark world, the glory of human beings cannot tolerate any stains!"

"..."

Listening to Iska's words, Li You felt completely dumbfounded.

"leave?"

"You mean, you can take people from this world... away?"

"..."

"Yes! Leave! We'll be leaving right away!"

After the eager reply, Iska's churning black mist gradually calmed down, and continued:

"It's just a cognitive bias, and I'm afraid it will disappear after leaving the dark world."

"Even if the force that caused this deviation is strong enough to penetrate the barrier between worlds."

"When we reach the civilized world, no external force will be able to stir up any waves under the light of human beings!"

"My friend, you need to go to Central World with me immediately!"

"Such an important event! I think...in about ten minutes, you will be standing in the human affairs hall of the Supreme Council!"

"Once the Central Council confirms the authenticity of this matter!"

"The army from many worlds will arrive in an instant!"

"No matter who is behind all this...it is meaningless in front of our human army!"

"There are more than one or two large worlds that have always wanted to launch an expedition against the remnants of alien races in the dark world!"

"Those so-called 'balancers' and 'species protectors' in the Supreme Council... There is no excuse this time!"

"..."

"Human...human army?"

"How long will it take in 10 minutes?"

After Iska's speech full of pride ended, Li You didn't know why, but felt the corners of his eyes a little astringent.

If this Iska didn't lie to him, then... the suffering of the Blue Star people.

...is it finally over?

After being sad for a moment, Li You suddenly thought of another thing.

"Wait, this... Mister Iska!"

"I met a planeswalker who called herself Jia'er before, and in her mouth...you are a kind of ignorant life called 'Scavenger'."

"Do you know what this is all about?"

Faced with the "great savior" who might be about to save all the Blue Stars, Li You's attitude towards Iska changed immediately.

"Planeswalker? What the hell?"

"You say Lao Tzu is an unintelligent life?"

Stunned, Iska's huge body made of black mist trembled a few times, and then there was a burst of suppressed laughter.

"Hey, not only did I meet my own family this time...Maybe, I also caught another big fish!!"

After Iska's sharp laughter ended, he looked at Li You and asked questions.

"What planeswalker are you talking about... I don't think it looks human?"

"..."

"Indeed, that planeswalker has the size of a dwarf... She also has a younger brother, who is over there now."

"His nose is very long, it looks...shouldn't be human."

Facing Iska's question, Li You still told the truth honestly.

After all, at this moment, that Dotara was lying on his stomach a hundred meters away, sleeping soundly.

"Wonderful! Wonderful!"

After shouting a few times, Iska continued:

"In my opinion, all life here is a disgusting giant upright insect!"

"I can't tell from you... who is not human!"

"But you don't seem to be continuously affected by this 'cognitive bias'!"

Speaking of which, Iska's head without facial features suddenly looked towards Li You...the corpse of the Hines knight on the ground.

"For these people...I...I'm sorry."

Even though his voice was still sharp, Li You could still hear the apology in Iska's tone.

"Please preserve their corpses. Traces of human remnants and aliens have been found... I'm afraid I will get a huge amount of contribution points as a reward this time."

"These people who died because of my recklessness and ignorance, I will spend contribution points to resurrect them...I promise!"

"..."

"what??"

"It can actually resurrect the dead??"

Li You's expression was stunned by Iska's words.

Not paying attention to Li You's shock, Iska continued to talk to himself:
"The resurrection of the dead requires at least a fourth-level spellcasting profession."

"I don't know such a person, but wait until I get the reward."

"None of these will be a problem!"

"Now, take me to the alien race first!"

……

"Master Li You..."

Looking at the "Black Mist Man" walking beside Li You, Sally and the few Hines knights who stayed behind were all on guard.

As for Qin Lang and the others, they have long been hiding far away.

No way, this black mist man looks really scary.

Their strength is low, and they dare not move forward at this time.

"This is Mr. Iska, but...he seems to be unable to communicate with you."

First, to appease the emotions of Sally and the others, Li You pointed to Dodoro on the ground and looked at Iska and said:

"Iska, this is what we said before, that... alien race."

"..."

"Alien..."

Kneeling and squatting down, Iska put the face made of black mist close to Dodolo who was still sleeping soundly on the ground, and seemed to be observing carefully.

After a while, he stood up again.

"I don't see anything."

"The force that causes cognitive bias is so powerful that I don't even have the slightest sense of disobedience."

"Let your people keep an eye on him first, let's meet that so-called 'Planeswalker Jiaer' first."

As Iska said, he took the lead in walking towards the tunnel Li You mentioned before.

"..."

"Why, I feel something is wrong?"

"Iska and Planeswalker Jiaer...Which one of them is telling the truth?"

While moving his steps, Li You felt a little hesitation in his heart.

He was very afraid, very afraid that what Iska said before was a lie to him.

"But...with Iska's strength, what's the point of deceiving me?"

"If he really had plans for Dotara as Jiaer said... then he could have done it directly just now."

"Or, this Iska is actually just like what he said...he can't accurately identify Dodoro at all?"

"So you didn't make a move just now?"

Although his heart was still in a mess, Li You's heart...had begun to lean forward slightly towards Iska.

"If he couldn't even recognize him standing in front of him, why did he come to hunt and kill Dotara?"

"...Is Jiaer lying to me?"
