I'm a god in the infinite game

Liao Ke asked: "You are feeling sad for Riliu's sadness. You are not actually sad, are you?"

The stethoscope hummed.

Liao Ke bowed his head and wrote: "You have empathized with Riliu."

The stethoscope asks, "What is empathy?"

"Empathy is because the two of you have similar experiences, or the other person has very different special meanings to you, so that you can empathize with the other person's emotions." Liao Ke wrote in his notepad, "Spades, you know yourself Why do you feel sad because of Ri Liu's sadness?"

The stethoscope answered honestly, "I don't know."

"You actually lack the basis of empathy. Your experience of space days makes you completely unable to imagine the feelings of another person in that scene from your own experience."

Liao Ke explained: "Most empathy is based on mutual understanding, but this is not true for you and Riliu, you don't understand Riliu, or you don't know anyone, you even There is no mechanism for the generation of human emotions in the future.”

"So it's very strange to have empathy in you." Liao Ke raised his eyes, "From what I know about you, I think the only explanation is—"

"You are instinctively feeling Riliu's emotions."

"But correspondingly, although you feel it, you can't handle such complicated emotions." Liao Ke smiled, "For example, if Riliu's feelings are some kind of special data, and you are a A computer, when you don’t have the ability to handle this special data, this influx of data will make you react very strangely.”

The stethoscope asks, "What's the response?"

"In order to deal with this kind of special data, you will also keep producing special data to respond to the other party." Liao Ke smiled softly, "Sometimes people fall in love with those who love them, and hate those who hate them. A kind of human emotional feedback, you can feel the other person's emotions, and correspondingly, you will also generate emotions to deal with the other person's emotions."

"Ri Liu is sad for you, so you will feel sad for Ri Liu."

Liao Ke continued: "But the root of this kind of empathy needs us to find together, that is, among so many people around you in spades, why did your instinct or subconscious choose Riliu instead of others to feel it? The other party's emotions?"

The stethoscope seems to be thinking, drooping slightly: "Ri Liu...is different from others."

"How is it different from others?" Liao Ke's voice was soft. "It may be difficult for Spade to answer this question. Let's use the progressive relationship around you, Spade, to find out why Riliu is different."

"For example, the strangers in the game pool, what's the difference between them and Riliu to you, why don't you choose to empathize with them?"

The stethoscope was silent for a long time: "These people fear me."

Liao Ke nodded with a sense of understanding, expressing his understanding: "Because these people fear you, there is a natural barrier of empathy between you, and they have malice towards you, so you will shield each other accordingly."

"In fact, normally speaking, if Spade is a human being who grew up in a normal environment, the first reaction to being feared by a large-scale crowd should be to be infected, subconsciously fearing and loathing himself, so as to maintain the same concept as other human beings, and seek a A sense of spiritual identity, to avoid being isolated by the group."

"People are group animals, and they instinctively avoid loneliness, but this is not the case with spades."

Liao Ke looked at Nishen at the side: "Spades should always exist in a highly repelled environment. He is used to this state, so when he is feared on a large scale, he will only feel normal and ignore the other party, not Find a sense of identity in this group of people who fear him."

"I want to ask you against God, do you know the birth environment of Spade?"

Ni Shen silently clasped his hands to the tip of his nose, paused for a while, and then said, "This spade guy... logged into the system from the single-player game in Siren Town."

"Tavier, the former evil god, became good friends with a human being. After being forced to sleep and fell, he drifted to the real map of Siren Town."

"From that time on, in order to punish Tavel, the new evil god made it drift between games in a state of sleep, was beaten by players as a god-level wandering npc, and was cut into various evils source to create copies of design games."

"In order to go back to find that human being, Tavel returned to the Siren town where he drifted into the game copy at the beginning, and while the new evil god was diverting his attention to find the heir, he cut his body and soul there. "

"Tavier let his soul be trapped in the game to suffer forever, and his body turned into a human appearance. When a group of newcomers logged in, he mixed in, and finally logged into the game from a dead player's small TV."

Liao Ke realized: "It was said before that there is an extra small TV for the single-player game dungeon for newcomers, and it has been blocked and can't see the content. Is it spades?"

Ni Shen hummed: "Spades was born from Tavel's mermaid body, and when he was born, although the player and the main npc were dead, the game was almost cleared."

"That is to say, the residents of Siren Town have basically recovered their normal consciousness and are normal human beings. They know that their tragedy was caused by the mermaid that was caught at the beginning, that is, Tavel. The spades born in Vile's shell are very fearful and repulsive."

"...This group of townspeople tried to kill Spade in many ways, such as burning him with fire and cutting him with knives, but because Spade's resistance is too high, these things can't hurt him at all, and he doesn't feel any pain."

Ni Shen took a deep breath: "Spades didn't resist from the beginning to the end. In other words, he didn't understand what happened at all, and just calmly let the townspeople deal with him."

"But because the townspeople have been unable to kill Spades, extreme fear has driven these townspeople crazy."

"They lined up in front of Spades, yelled you monster with distorted expressions, and then collectively cut their throats and committed suicide."

"Later, Spade searched for the bodies of these people, and found the body of the dead player inside. After taking his system coins, he logged into the game covered in blood."

Liao Ke nodded in understanding, then turned to look at Spades: "Spades, why don't you choose your teammates as the object of empathy? Your teammates are not afraid of you."

Stethoscope lowered his head, as if thinking hard, and replied, "They have no special data for me."

Liao Ke reacted and laughed: "Are you using my previous metaphor, right? The feelings for you are data, but the feelings of your teammates are not strong enough for you to generate special data to give back."

"This is quite normal." Liao Ke was thoughtful, "Like strangers in normal human society, there will be a sense of distance, but teammates should have stronger feelings for you than strangers. Well, you should be able to feel a little bit, and the time spent with you is so much longer than Riliu, why can't you give back to your teammates, but can you give back to Riliu?"

The stethoscope was silent for a while this time: "Because... the first time I saw Ri Liu, he smiled at me."

"I feel like he wants me to hug him."

"I feel like he doesn't want me to go, wants to stay with me forever."

"Others don't, they don't fear me, but they don't want to hug me and be with me forever."

"Only Riliu will produce this special data for me."

Liao Ke and Nishen were silent for a while, and then Liao Ke continued to ask: "The special data that Riliu gave you is different from how other people, such as teammates, give you, isn't it?"

"Yeah." The stethoscope answered quickly.

Liao Ke continued to ask: "Can you use anything to compare the feeling brought to you by this special data generated by Riliu?"

The stethoscope paused: "The first time Riliu saw me, he held my wrist."

"It's warm."

Liao Ke lowered his head and continued to write on the notepad, then raised his head to look at Nishen: "I'm done asking, I believe you don't need me to tell you, you know where Spade's psychological problem lies, right?"

Nishen raised his forehead, and sighed helplessly: "Although I guessed it in the game, but when I really confirmed it, it's still a bit..."

Liao Ke smiled. He stood up and loosened the restraint belt that helped Spade, then turned around and patted Ni Shen on the shoulder: "It's complicated, right? When my youngest daughter told me about her crush, I That's the same feeling."

"On the one hand, I am glad that she has grown up and has someone she likes." Liao Ke turned to look at Spade with a smile in his eyes, "On the other hand, I am worried that this fool will fall in love with someone who is not good."

"Fortunately, it's easy for you to get to know the other party." Liao Ke suddenly stretched out his hand, grasped Nishen's forearm, and yanked it out, "I think I not only want to give spade psychological counseling, but also give you Do psychological counseling."

Nishen was caught off guard and hissed when he was pulled out, and the hand pulled out by Liao Ke was covered in bloody welts.

Liao Ke raised his eyes and looked at Nishen: "You can deceive Bai Yi by saying that you are not injured, but you can't deceive me as a professional. What's the matter with these welts? Why did you bring your injuries?"

Nishen paused, then withdrew his hand, and smiled slightly complaining: "What's the matter? That bastard spade suddenly went crazy when he was about to log out of the game. He took out his whip and whipped me. I couldn't catch up, and I took the injury out of the game without reacting."

Liao Ke looked at Nishen firmly: "The wound on your body and the wound on Spade's body are a kind of whip marks, both with hooks, and Spade's whip doesn't look like this."

Ni Shen sat on the back of the sofa, bowed his head without saying a word, and remained silent for a long, long time.

The blood seeping from the welts on his body splashed drop by drop on the floor.
