I Cultivate Immortality With Scientific Thinking

Chapter 200 Who can know whether the illusion is true or false?

The dark underground cell, the dried dark red blood, and the creepy chewing sounds coming from the dark place from time to time.

"Are you surprised?" Chen Huan, who was naked and looking a little crazy, said with a smile, "You were obviously in a restaurant room, but you suddenly came to this place."

"Although you know that everything in front of you is an illusion, can you tell the difference? Can you tell which side is real?"

"Do you know? Humans are really ridiculous creatures. They always think that they can observe everything in the world. Little do they know that this is just an illusion given to them by their own bodies."

"What the ears hear, what the eyes see, what the nose smells... is just their fragile bodies. The feeling they give them is not the essence of things at all. And as long as this feeling is deceived, they can be easily manipulated. A person’s emotions, heart and thoughts!”

"Others use false images to deceive others, but I disdain to do this. I prefer to use the five senses to distort a person's soul!"

"This is my way of illusion!"

"In simple terms, a person's emotions, memory, and even thoughts and personality all come from information received from the outside world. Since information can shape a person, it can naturally destroy a person!"

Lin Chen gently picked up what he said, and at the same time glanced at Chen Huan in surprise.

He never thought that his inner alchemy experiment might actually screen out a terrifying illusion genius.

In Lin Chen's opinion, the current illusions of Lingnan Immortal Cultivation World feel more like mundane deceptions.

How to use aura to create illusory projections to deceive others, or create a huge illusion to make the enemy lose consciousness and misjudge, and even one person cannot be killed. In the end, he has to use the Spirit Weapon to finish the damage, which is simply laughable.

A true master of illusion is not the kind of waste who only does one last hit on the side.

They are true soul manipulators, masters of manipulation of Primordial Spirit and consciousness. They can easily distort people's five senses, change people's thoughts, make them spiritual slaves, and even give up their own lives.

To do this, they don't even need to directly start with memory, personality, or thoughts. Just through perception, they can tamper with other people's thoughts, distort other people's personalities, and even make their bodies and souls change according to their own wishes.

It's like suggesting hypnosis to a person who was locked into a cold storage by himself. Even though the cold storage switch was not turned on, he froze to death early the next morning.

Another example is that people feel like they are in flames. There is obviously nothing wrong with their body, but the brain's feedback to the perception of Primordial Spirit causes them to misjudge themselves, affecting True Qi. True Qi transforms into flames, and the flames burn the body, causing the human body to spontaneously combust. !

Of course, these are just basic illusions that affect individuals through small means such as changing scenes and psychological suggestions.

In Lin Chen's view, those who have truly mastered the art of illusion to an extremely terrifying level will no longer be limited to the use of spiritual energy methods, nor will they be limited to deceiving and deceiving the five senses. Instead, they will truly grasp the human heart. Change can easily play with the thoughts of an individual or even a civilization.

They can easily control the changes in people's hearts, starting with desire, laziness, greed and other evil qualities.

Use inflammatory words, language and wealth to change the thoughts and cognition of a civilized people, distort each individual's cognition, values ​​and worldview in a subtle way, lower their threshold of expectations for kindness, justice and morality, so that They abandon humanity in one morally damaging act after another...

At that time, I am afraid that even a little spiritual energy illusion can be easily used to make a civilization greedy for pleasure, unwilling to make progress, become greedy and violent, internally collapsed, and in the process of continuous self-destruction, towards true destruction... …

And if you really have this kind of ability, I'm afraid, at least, you have to be a [Heavenly Demon].

Of course, this is not the most terrifying illusion. The most terrifying illusion lies in deceiving the world itself...

Lin Chen took a look at his surroundings, stopped thinking, and did not continue to think about it.

"You are so right!" Beside him, Chen Huan danced as if he had found a comrade, "I tried it with my father, and it felt so wonderful!"

"I blinded his sense of hearing, and consciously filtered out all the words that were harmful to him. I interfered with his vision with his eyes, making him feel that everyone in the Chen family was groveling to him. I also distorted his skin. The touch amplified the excitement dozens of times when he was having fun with the maid..."

"Greed, desire, arrogance... just like this, under the twists and turns, his originally cautious, gloomy, and tolerant character began to slowly change, becoming extreme and domineering... In the end, he became someone else completely. A person, a completely opposite person from before!”

"Jie Jie Jie, do you know how wonderful that feeling is? You can easily play with a person's soul and even body in the palm of your hand."

"I can see the powerful people in the past groveling in front of me, the chaste and fierce women turning into lustful young women, and the gloomy thoughts turning into arrogance and tyranny. As long as I am willing, I can easily use the five senses to distort other people's thoughts and cognitions. , become what I want, you can’t even imagine how wonderful that feeling is..."

"Using the inner elixir method to sublimate the soul, thereby distorting the five senses of others, changing everything about others, and becoming the supreme master of others. This is my path! Compared with those idiots who get the Immortal Law but use it indiscriminately, I am the real one The peerless genius is the supreme emperor in this world!"

However, after hearing these words, Lin Chen did not have a look of surprise on his face. Instead, he fell into silence. After a while, he sighed softly.

"With such a talent, instead of exploring the nature of the world, chasing the eternal truth, and using the changes in illusion to try to reshape one's own personality and heart and explore the vast spiritual world, one would instead use it to torture people. On some boring little thing."

"I thought you were a real candidate for the Heavenly Demon who can play with people's hearts. Now it seems that you are just a madman who can only infect others with madness and chaos. I originally thought I could find a like-minded person. In the end, you really disappointed me."

Chen Huan's voice suddenly fell silent. In the dark basement, the sound of chewing became louder and louder, and dark red blood stains faintly oozed from the surrounding walls.

"Originally I thought I had found someone who could appreciate me, but now it seems that you are only worthy of being a plaything, but it doesn't matter. I also really want to see you kneeling on the ground like a dog!"

"At that time, I really want to see if you can still say such big words!"

As soon as the voice finished, the light in the entire basement became darker and darker, and the surrounding walls turned into squirming flesh. There were rustling sounds on the ground. They were densely packed with swarms of insects that looked like huge blood bubbles. I don't think the wailing is even more weird.

Around Lin Chen, countless crazy, bloody, cruel, and shocking darkness and horrors appeared deep in people's hearts. Finally, Lin Chen's face changed drastically.

"That's it?!"

Lin Chen's tone was obviously surprised. He originally thought that the guy in front of him had said so much and was more or less capable, but this is the result? !

There are so many terrifying scenes, taking turns to be staged in front of me. I dare you to put them here and there. It turns out that the most powerful method is to show horror movies here?

Chen Huan was obviously more surprised than him, and his voice suddenly came, with a hint of madness and surprise, "How could you not be affected at all?!"

He originally wanted that kind of terrifying scene to completely destroy Lin Chen's psychological defense, but he never expected that this would be the result!

"Thanks to you, you did one thing after another and almost got me in. In the end, is this all you have?"

Putting on scary scenes to scare people, break down their psychological defenses, and then exercise psychological control when the other party is at a loss, may be a sure-fire way for others.

But for Lin Chen, he has dissected the corpses of tens of thousands of species, used blood pools to create countless deformed monsters, extracted human souls and imprisoned them for research... The bloody and terrifying scenes shown by Chen Huan are not as good as his experiments. One tenth of it!

"Impossible! How could you not be affected at all?!" As if thinking of something, Chen Huan stared at Lin Chen, "I understand, you must have suffered inhuman torture since you were a child, that's why you have this Only with such a strong endurance can you ignore my illusion!"

"No, you are wrong. The essence of illusion is to deceive people's hearts and grasp the changes in people's hearts, rather than just using illusions to scare people." Lin Chen sighed lightly and continued.

"Forget it, although the main direction of my research is the essence of spiritual energy, I am not very proficient in illusions, the human heart is too complicated, and it is not meaningful as the rules of the world, so I am not interested in studying it, but I should still play with you. That's enough."

"What do you want to do?!" Chen Huan seemed to be aware of the danger, the madness on his face froze, and he subconsciously took a step back.

Lin Chen didn't pay attention to his small movements, but pointed to his head and said to himself.

"Did you know? A person's self-understanding lies not only in the inherited memory in the mind, but also in the collection of concepts of information in the subconscious, that is, in the consciousness."

"The concept set of information includes weight, color, shape, etc., and everyone's perception of the same thing is different, just like everyone's perception of red and green, there will be large or small differences, so this This leads to individual deviations, coupled with inherited memories, ultimately forming a person’s perception of himself.”

"But if one day, your touch is another person's, your hearing is another person's, your taste is another person's... all your perceptions are another person's, then, who are you? "

"What do you mean by this?!" Chen Huan's expression changed and his body froze, sensing a terrible danger.

"Forget it, I'm not very good at preaching, so let's just start experimenting."

Lin Chen smiled lightly and didn't say anything. Instead, he stretched out a hand and gently pressed it on the wall made of flesh and blood.

"First...the sense of touch."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Huan felt a sticky and slippery feeling on his hands, as if he had touched flesh and blood, but there was clearly nothing in his hands!

"What, what happened? What did you do?!" Chen Huan's face changed drastically, and he frantically wanted to get rid of the non-existent thing in his hand, but the touch of flesh and blood was always there and he couldn't get rid of it at all!

"No, it's impossible. This is just an illusion. Don't even think about it..."

"Next is hearing." Lin Chen said calmly.

"Lie to me!" As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Chen Huan froze on the spot, because he felt that the voice didn't sound like it came from his own mouth, but more like it came from the other side.

Did the other party transfer his or her own hearing to him? !

“The second thing is vision.”

The next moment, Chen Huan felt the scene in front of him change. His body appeared in front of him, and his hand pressed against the wall beside him.

At this moment, he seemed to have become Lin Chen, having a conversation with Chen Huan in front of him!

"Next is the sound."

The next moment, Chen Huan felt that his voice had completely changed into that of Lin Chen!

‘When all your perceptions do not belong to you, but to another person, then who are you? ’

The words just now rang in Chen Huan's mind again. He seemed to understand something, and his expression suddenly became horrified.

"No, it's impossible. You can't even try to turn me into you. I'm Chen Huan. Even if you change my perception, you can't change my memory!" Chen Huan said angrily.

"Oh? Really?" A somewhat frivolous voice seemed to ring from his ears, "Then I would like to ask, are you Chen Huan?"

"Don't even think about deceiving me, I am who I am!" Chen Huan screamed at the top of his lungs.

"Really? Then think about it carefully, where did you eat at noon yesterday?"

"Of course I ate it on the road!"

"Where on the road? Think about it."

"Of course it's in the wilderness! I still clearly remember the scorching sunshine, the new growth of vegetation, the clean house, and when I was drinking tea in the room..." Chen Huan said without hesitation. As he spoke, he suddenly froze.

I was eating in the wilderness. Where did the house come from and where did the room come from?

"No, no!" Chen Huan's expression became more and more crazy, "You can't tamper with my memory!"

"I didn't tamper with your memory. I just reproduced your perception at that time, the sights you saw, the touches you received, the smells you smelled... First Layer."

"No, no, I don't have that sense anymore. You are deceiving me. I am Chen Huan, not Lin Chen. I am Chen Huan, not Lin Chen. You can't deceive me. You can't deceive me!" Chen Huan lost control. He fell to the ground like crazy and roared like crazy.

Then, he seemed to think of something, and as if grasping a life-saving straw, he shouted desperately: "Yes, I still have the memory of the past, and the memory of the past will not deceive me!"

"Really?" The voice in his ear seemed to be smiling even more.

"Human memory has always been vague. Only at a certain moment in life, because of a certain thing or item, a strong perception is produced, so the memory is profound..."

"But if your past perceptions belong to others, your memory is vague, and you cannot anchor the past, and your current perceptions belong to others, then how can you determine who you are?"

"Shut up, shut up!" Chen Huan knelt on the ground and screamed miserably, "Memory will not deceive me, absolutely not!"

"I remember everything from the past, completely!"

"A year ago, a year ago, yes! A year ago, I changed my damn father. I still remember that wonderful feeling!"

"Three years ago, three years ago, I was abused in the basement. The pain of being whipped with thorns, I will never forget it in my life!"

"Five years ago, I remembered five years ago. At that time, I was injured while practicing and sought treatment from my family's doctor. After the successful treatment, the grateful eyes of the residents of the small town and the overflowing smile of the little girl made me feel happy. It’s an indescribable feeling of comfort!”

"Ten years ago, when I first came to this small town, I seemed to have to wait for some reason. In order to reduce the trouble, I became a doctor. I still remember the scenes and feelings I saw then. The sunshine that arrived..."

Everything in the illusion disappeared, leaving only a peaceful scene in the inn and the wing.

At this moment, a naked young man was kneeling on the ground, mumbling something. Beside him, Lin Chen, dressed in black and with a handsome face, looked at him quietly.

After an unknown amount of time, the young man on the ground seemed to have figured out something and let out a cry of surprise: "I know who I am!"

"Oh?" The corners of Lin Chen's mouth curled up slightly. His black windbreaker looked very mysterious and... penetrating under the dim moonlight.

He walked over gently, lowered his head, and whispered in the naked boy's ear, "So, kid, tell me, who are you?"

"I just..." The young man raised his head, and the bronze mirror beside him clearly reflected the slightly crazy look on his face.

The corners of his mouth curled up in a strange arc, and he could only be heard saying word by word: "I am——Lin Chen!"
