Mysteries: Arcana Wars

Backlund is 84 meters above the ground.

Comprehensive apartment·Hydrangea House.

Klein sat in his safe house, reviewing what had happened in the past two days.

I was really confused and bewildered.

During the battle with Allen, Klein's consciousness came to an abrupt end after he stepped out of the mist of history. When he opened his eyes again, he was already lying on the floor of the safe house apartment. Leonard asked the old man's clone to tell him about the situation in the second half of the night of the riot.

Klein spent a whole night trying to relieve the intense discomfort caused by the void smoke pollution. Leonard said that the Church of Evernight called this sequelae the "Disillusionment Embers" syndrome, which is mainly a series of symptoms that appear in people who have been exposed to the void smoke, including strong hallucinations, distorted reality, five sense disorders, personality dissociation, spiritual decline, disorientation, and disordered movements.

Leonard said that this kind of disillusionment syndrome is rare, because there are very few people who can survive after removing the void smoke, and he only remembers a single-digit number of cases. However, it was not long after St. Julie's Church was put into use. I don't know if the Church of Darkness has made any new progress in the research of these void smoke in the past three hundred years.

After the Disillusionment Syndrome had almost subsided, Klein took action without stopping.

He first went to Tesla Group as Gehrman Sparrow to meet Sander Tesla and Fors. Sander delivered a set of communication equipment as agreed, and then Klein watched Fors walk out of Backlund and complete the [Reset] ceremony.

At the same time, Klein also contacted Scott through the fully automatic wishing machine and handed him the Manstein Note No. 45 that Scott wished for, completing the wish transaction.

After careful consideration, Klein added the portrait sketch of Mrs. Manstein to Note No. 45 and gave it to Scott.

In the existing historical materials, Melissa Manstein did not leave a portrait, and even her full name was lost. This great inventor left countless benefits to human society, but people do not even know her name and appearance.

Although Mrs. Manstein was not exactly Melissa, she was probably the biggest piece of the puzzle of Melissa's life. Whether out of affection for his sister or admiration for a great inventor, Klein couldn't bear to see such a woman standing in the long river of history so miserable.

This portrait will surely cause a huge sensation in historical research. Those comic scholars and archaeologists will even regard it as the greatest historical discovery of this century and hang a big comic badge on it.

From then on, Mrs. Manstein had a name and a face in history.

As for Is, oh, let Him be.

What use does this mythical creature have to human vanity?

After everything was done, Klein finally sat down in his small apartment with peace of mind. He breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling like everything was settled.

He took out his phone, and a small app was flashing on it. Klein pressed his finger on the icon and swiped it toward the outside of the phone. He actually "took" the icon out of the phone.

Extraordinary item: Core of Secret Talk.

This chip, which is only the size of a fingernail, is printed with an application icon and can be "inserted" into any electronic product and used as a communication application. It uses Tesla's confidential lines to provide information security and extraordinary confidentiality, and can achieve excellent anti-prophecy and anti-divination effects.

Klein inserted the [Secret Talk Core] into his phone again and entered the chat software. Several friends in the group were already familiar with this application and started chatting.

At this point, the online version of Tarot Club has been barely put into use.

Compared to the official Tarot Club in the Fifth Age, the secrecy of this Cyber ​​Tarot Club is still a little less. Everyone is more cautious in chatting, and no one talks about overly confidential matters. They mainly chat about daily matters.

But it's enough, and it's better than nothing.

At this time, Leonard happened to send a private message, saying that he would come to the apartment to sit down later. So Klein made some coffee, sat at home, took out the paper and pen made of gray fog, and began to organize his thoughts.

This battle was fought very riskily, even a little radically. Thinking back on it now, Klein still felt a lingering fear.

【Cognitive boundary nail】.

Klein wrote down these four words and circled them heavily.

This was a way of thinking that Klein came up with at a critical moment, to find a stable rope in his chaotic thoughts.

In short, when faced with a bunch of paradoxes or uncertain chaotic facts, we first establish an unshakable truth, and then re-block the facts and opinions around this truth to generate a new logical chain. This bottom-level truth is the [cognitive boundary nail].

If you believe that blue is the truth, then you will choose the blue one in any choice: choose the road with the blue vane at the fork in the road, open the door with the blue handle at the end of the corridor, and choose the blue key when opening the treasure chest... In this process, the blue [cognitive boundary nail] will greatly reduce the confusion and fog in thinking, and make choices directly. No matter how many interference items there are, just choose the blue one, and ignore the other options.

So the whole world is [blue]. Monsters appear not because someone wants to harm me, but because I did not choose [blue]. I get treasure not because I am lucky, but because I chose [blue]. In this logical chain, everything chooses [blue], and the whole world revolves around [blue].

This almost self-enclosed way of thinking can greatly reduce various cognitive interferences, helping Klein get an answer in a mess, thereby stabilizing his mental state. It is especially useful in some extreme conditions.

The more self-obsessed and airtight you are, the more effective you will be.

But the shortcomings and negative effects of this method are also fatal.

[Cognitive Boundary Nail] is just an answer, it does not represent correctness or truth.

Just because you follow the principle of "Blue is Truth" and choose the blue door, it does not mean that the treasure you expect is behind the door. It may also be a bottomless abyss that will leave you dead.

Or, the enemy knows the eternal truth in your [cognitive boundary spike] and sets traps for you along your logical chain, which is impossible to defend against; or the enemy carefully fabricates lies based on your [cognitive boundary spike] to conceal the truth.

Blindness and regularity are the two fatal weaknesses of [Cognitive Boundary Nail].

Now, Klein was free from the life-and-death struggle and Allen's mental invasion, and he took out his [Cognitive Boundary Nail] at that time and rethought it.

Have I... fallen into the trap of blindness and regularity?
