Chapter 1616 Fear of silence

Most people with common sense will have an emotion called 'fear', which is a state of psychological activity that occurs when people face certain situations that they judge to be dangerous, but are unable to do anything about it. From a broad perspective, the core can basically be identified as an 'intense' and 'depressed' mood.

The principle, if it's complicated, is that 'fear is born when the peripheral elements of a person's building system, rather than the core building, prove ineffective'.

To put it bluntly, it means ‘something is scaring you’.

'Darkness' and 'unknown' are both the two major carriers of the emotion of fear. The former is attached to the latter because there is a clear causal relationship between the two, and the unknown covers too many things. For example, A simple example, you suddenly see a beautiful humanoid creature with eight eyes, four hands, two mouths, and the primary sexual characteristics of both men and women. You have never seen this thing before. Under the premise, you will instinctively be afraid until you confirm the harmlessness of the other person. For example, he is just a vegetarian with a low level of civilization, only 20% of the physical fitness of ordinary people, a gentle temperament, and only needs photosynthesis to survive. Activists.

In short, as the original 'unknown' is supplemented by various information, the fear in our hearts will gradually decrease, eventually disappear completely, and even turn into some kind of positive emotion.

By the way, the creature above does not exist. I just made it up completely, so please do not have any unrealistic illusions and do not try to trace its origin.

By the way, if you feel obviously disappointed after reading the previous paragraph, I personally recommend that you consult a psychiatrist or surrender to the local public security bureau.

So let’s get back to the topic. To sum up, fear is an emotion that normal people cannot abandon, and the negative effects are greater than the positive effects. It is true that fear may make many people break out in extreme situations and make various great achievements, but from From an objective point of view, 'coward' is a derogatory term after all, while 'brave' is just the opposite. Although being too brave may not be a good thing, to give a simple example, drunk people are often more 'brave' than they usually are. Much braver.

Fear can cause a series of negative effects, the most obvious of which are physiological dysfunction, including but not limited to accelerated heartbeat, irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath, increased blood pressure, cold sweats, weakness of limbs, etc., which will affect our health. Health and Judgment.

And we all know that although Mo Tan is just 'a person', under the premise of being an atypical schizophrenia patient, we have to look at him from multiple perspectives.

Among them, Mo Tan under the chaotic neutral personality is not the 'majority' of people, so Tan Mo in [The Boundary of Innocence] almost never had the emotion of fear. For example, in the previous mission called [Blood Resentment Filled the Window], Yu Ying was almost scared to death, but nothing happened to him.

It is worth mentioning that it is not that he does not have the function of 'fear', it is just that he cannot be triggered by the 'condition' of fear by most things. Just like a person who is afraid of spiders and a person who raises a lot of spiders are both normal. The ability to fear, but when a big spider suddenly appears, the former may be frightened to the point of screaming, but the latter happily wants to add one to his collection.

Tan Mo under the chaotic neutral personality is in such a situation. It's not that he doesn't have the ability to fear, it's just that there are too few things that can make him afraid. In the final analysis, it's because he always has a positive and abnormal attitude towards the 'unknown' .

Then there is Mo Tan with an absolutely neutral personality. In this state, there is no need to go into details about him. He is just a normal person. You can directly use yourself as an analogy (provided that you think you belong to the mainstream group in this regard). Eight out of ten Nine wouldn't be too far off.

Finally, there is Mo Tan who is currently under the lawful good personality. As we know, he is very determined and possesses many excellent qualities including 'bravery'. Naturally, it is difficult for him to be dominated by fear.

But this does not mean that he is immune to fear. In fact, he will also be afraid of some things, just because his strong psychological quality will not be revealed. Here we can use Ji Xiaoge as an example to make a conceptual transformation. If in If there is a negative sign in front of this girl's appearance, then most people will probably be scared to death by her as soon as they meet her, and they may be frightened to death when she takes off her hair accessories, but if she has a lawful good personality I'm afraid it's just a matter of eyelid twitching.

Because he can withstand Ji Xiaoge's "beauty" in terms of outsiders, he can naturally also withstand the "ugliness" in terms of outsiders. In fact, considering that his obvious performance may cause harm to others, If that really happened, Mo Tan might even restrain his eyelids from twitching.

Is he really not afraid? No, of course he would be afraid, but his will was so strong that it could directly overwhelm most fears.

Presumably the Imperial Master of the State of Lu during the Spring and Autumn Period, the well-known Liu Xiahui, was a little confused when he held the girl in his arms. After all, he had a wife, but according to the content of the story, His strong willpower was enough to keep him motionless for the whole night, which is enough to show his strong willpower.

Mo Tan is basically in the same situation under his current personality.

As a result, Sha Po started from this angle, and abruptly pulled out Mo Tan's fear that would have been barely exposed in the first place.

Whether it's a dark environment, a hide-and-seek game, a loud timer, or a sudden lightening of footsteps, from the first second after Mo Tan enters this realm, Sha Po has been using various inducements and hints to... To pave the way for the fear in the heart of 'Brother Mo'.

Considering Mo Tan's current psychological quality, the difficulty of this kind of behavior is actually quite high. After all, his psychological defense can even block Ji Xiaoge who takes off his hairpin. Theoretically, he is close to the upper limit of human beings.

Not only that, during this process, Mo Tan could also take advantage of his status as a player to look at the system panel. If he wanted to, he could even send messages to chat with others. It was hard to be scared no matter what he thought.

But even so, Sha Po still succeeded in inducing the fear hidden in Mo Tan's heart, and this was despite the fact that the latter had been relying on his subjective will to calm his mind.

To be honest, if Sha Po hadn't taken the initiative to express the above content after catching Mo Tan for the first time and briefly explained his purpose, the latter wouldn't even realize that he was afraid.

Not only that, Mo Tan also learned that the seemingly innocent and charming Sha Po was not simple at all in terms of psychology. You must know that if you want to make half of the psychology of Mo Tan, who had to cure himself in the past, If the master's people are taken away, Sha Po's attainments in related fields will only become stronger!

Regardless of the cause and effect, at least at this moment, the girl in front of him definitely has all the qualities of a top assassin.

"It is not my purpose to help Brother Mo overcome his fear, it is just a means to achieve the goal..."

The young and sweet voice of the girl rang in Mo Tan's ears. She chuckled and said, "As I said just now, calmness and tranquility are the most important, and only by being able to overcome and control fear in many situations, We can stay calm when we need to, whether it's psychological fear or physical fear."

Mo Tan nodded slightly and said seriously: "I understand."

"I just considered many methods, and finally decided to choose the simplest and roughest dark environment. As for the reason for hiding here, hehe, most of it is because I want to play with Brother Mo."

Sha Po in the darkness grabbed Mo Tan's arm and held it in his arms, and said with a smile: "To be honest, it is difficult to perform this method perfectly, and it will only be even harder to overcome this method, but well...I I believe Brother Mo can definitely do it, after all, you quickly found that turtle."

Mo Tan also laughed and touched Sha Po's silky hair with his free hand: "It's all thanks to you."

"Yeah! It doesn't matter if you praise me more."

Sha Po shook his head with great enjoyment and said happily: "Anyway, we just need to play hide and seek today. As for how much we can get from it, it all depends on you, Brother Mo. If you behave well, Let’s change the theme next time we get a chance.”

Mo Tan hesitated: "But..."

"It's okay. I've said it before. Because it's broken, I can still stay awake even if Brother Mo leaves this mountain. After coming here for so long, Brother Mo doesn't think I'll be lonely, right? "

As if he had seen through Mo Tan's thoughts, Sha Po interrupted him directly and said in a very serious tone: "And brother Mo, don't forget, there are still everyone here with me, so even if [Everlasting Regret Thorn] has been Keep it as it is, I don't mind at all! Well, that's it, no matter what Brother Mo says, I don't plan to teach you how to use [Everlasting Hatred Thorn] now. I want you to protect yourself and don't do it casually. Die casually."

Mo Tan was silent for a moment. Considering that he still had the character of 'Tan Mo' that he could use to hone his corresponding skills, he didn't say anything more. He just nodded and said, "Okay, if you insist..."

"Yeah! Then let's continue quickly!"

Sha Po let go of Mo Tan's arm, it sounded like he was jumping on the spot twice, and then said loudly and cheerfully: "This time it's Brother Mo's turn to catch me! Hurry up and count down!"

"one."

Although he did not squat down and count down like Sha Po, Mo Tan did not waste time and immediately started counting: "Two...three...four..."

"I'm leaving!"

Sha Po suddenly hugged Mo Tan hard, and then ran away happily.

…

thirty minutes later

"caught you."

In the darkness, Mo Tan gently put his hand on Sha Po's shoulder and let out a long breath, even though he was not his 'body' at this moment, but in a certain consciousness space inside [Xiao]. , but still looked like he was sweating, and this proved two things.

First of all, this space is very wonderful, and the degree of simulation of various factors is no worse than [The Boundary of Innocence] or [the real world].

Secondly, Mo Tan's thirty minutes were not easy, it could even be said to be quite hard.

This is also true. You must know that in the previous ten rounds of hide-and-seek, the five times Mo Tan was responsible for hiding were all caught quietly by the murderers, but in the five rounds when he was responsible for catching people, he was as smooth as a headless fly. It failed four times, and only the last one succeeded in catching the opponent at two minutes and fifty-three seconds.

and……

"Are you letting go?"

He raised his hand and lost the fine beads of sweat on his forehead. He was obviously the one who caught the person, but he was under tremendous pressure. He smiled helplessly and stared at the place where the girl was in front of him.

"Hey, hey, after all, it's boring to win all the time."

Sha Po readily admitted the fact that he had leaked without any hesitation, and then he hugged Mo Tan's arm and started shaking: "But actually, he didn't leak a lot. Brother Mo has made great progress. It has exceeded my expectations. He can I practiced breath masking and breath capturing to this extent in half an hour, and almost overcame my physical and psychological fears. It’s simply amazing!”

Mo Tan, who really felt his own progress, squatted down, held his hands in his hands and smiled slightly: "This is all your credit. Whether you need it or not, I should thank you."

"As long as Brother Mo can become stronger and live longer, that's all."

Sha Po rubbed Mo Tan's cheek affectionately with his little face, then retreated to a place where Mo Tan couldn't touch, and urged with a smile in the dark: "Okay, okay, leave quickly, isn't Brother Mo very kind?" Are you nervous? Let’s go and do it all. It just allows me to recall the hide-and-seek just now. This kind of very happy and happy thing should be remembered for the rest of my life.”

Mo Tan took a deep breath, then stood up, nodded and said seriously: "Okay, I'll leave first."

"Uh-huh!"

The girl seemed to be looming in the perception and waved her hand, then suddenly coughed and reminded: "By the way, Brother Mo should be going to the realm of Ji Po soon. He is not easy to get along with. It's best Just make some mental preparations."

Mo Tan nodded slightly and said with a wry smile: "I actually have a vague guess about this. Don't worry, I have already made mental preparations."

"That's good, see you soon, Brother Mo~"

"See you later."

After saying that, Mo Tan turned around and left. Although the surrounding environment was still dark, he could vaguely feel where he was when he came, so he walked directly to the right place.

Soon, he entered the chaos filled with nothingness again, and the chain leading to the center appeared again above his head.

After a few minutes, the darkness faded away, and when Mo Tan returned to the center as if he had been reborn, he was not immersed in this feeling of being in another world. He just quickly began to adjust his body condition, and then he continued non-stop. Move on to the next area.

Exuding a strong aura of danger——Ji Po's domain.
