40,000 Years of Cultivation

"This one……"

Li Yao frowned as he watched the beast-like man in the test room launch a vicious attack, but the researcher was caught off guard and could only dodge around, but was hit by the opponent's metal chair, and then glanced at Zhuge Jinglun's hand. A scan of the dancing brain, "What can you tell me?"

"Look here, it's so deep, but he still shows flaws in the last few questions after all."

Zhuge Jinglun pointed to the mottled light spots on the brain scan, zoomed in and zoomed in, and then called up some normal brain scans, overlapped the two and compared them, "Is there any difference? "

Seeing his triumphant style, he didn't look like the Black Wind King who was facing the righteousness, but rather like a primary school teacher facing an ignorant child.

"The light spots in the brain of normal people are denser, but the light spots in the picture just scanned are relatively scattered, and there are obvious boundaries in the middle."

Fortunately, Li Yao is not a person who cares too much about identity and rules. After studying carefully for a long time, he honestly answered, "Then, what does this mean?"

"In medicine, we divide the brain into three parts, the nucleus, the limbus system, and the cerebral cortex. The nucleus is responsible for basic physiological parameters such as breathing, heartbeat, awakening, exercise, sleep, balance, etc., to maintain human animal instincts. , Can be ignored for now.

"The limbic system is responsible for the'emotional thinking' I just mentioned, emotions, memory, glandular activity, and so on.

"The cerebral cortex, which is the outer brain where people usually see the ravines, is the area responsible for rational thinking and advanced perception.

"When a normal person's brain becomes active, the connection between his three major areas, especially the limbic system and the cerebral cortex, is very close. Please look at the King of Black Wind. This is the brain of a normal person when he is furious. Scan the picture, can you see it? From the limbic system to the cerebral cortex, there are dots of light. The brightness of the two is almost the same, and there is no obvious boundary between them. It can be said that his entire brain is burning up. Up.

"Look at the scans we just got. Look, the light spots in the limbic system are relatively dim, while the light spots in the cerebral cortex are very dazzling. The two sides are far apart, and there is a very clear boundary between them, as if..."

"It's as if his limbic system and cerebral cortex were cut apart, each forming an isolated system."

Li Yaodao, "This person uses the cerebral cortex more when thinking and acting, that is, rational thinking, but seldom uses the limbic system, which is emotional thinking."

"Yes, that's it!"

Zhuge Jinglun smiled and said, "We have encountered some very unfortunate patients who suffered severe brain trauma and had to isolate their left and right brains for treatment. Did you know that even if the left and right halves of the human brain are separated for treatment? All of the nerves of the person will be cut off, and the person will not die, and will not even affect the ability of normal life. Instead, it will strengthen the ability of mathematics or art, but the personality will become very... weird.

"These people are the same. You can simply understand that they have also performed a small operation between the limbus system and the cerebral cortex, cutting off most of the neural connections between each other, and cutting off the emotion and reason.的pathway.

"There are only two kinds of human brains that can have this situation, one is the cold-blooded killer who exterminates humanity, and the other is the holy ally. Do you know what kind of consequences such brain mutations will cause?"

Li Yao said: "What are the consequences?"

"Lack of empathy."

Zhuge Jinglun said, "The ability to empathize is almost everyone’s instinct. I am a human, and you are also a human. I don’t want to be hurt by myself, so I don’t want to hurt you. Everyone has a childhood, and maybe One's own children, people want to protect their own children regardless of one's own body, so when they see other people's children, they will be especially pitiful; even when they see kittens and puppies, they will give birth to a protective desire and cannot bear to kill these animals.

"The closer we are to and the similar species, the more we will have a strong empathy. This instinct is the basis of the formation of society by intelligent life, and cannot be erased by cultivation. Therefore, even powerful cultivators will face When opponents are ordinary people who have no power to bind chickens, they will also have empathy and will'unbearable'.

"Why do immortal cultivators hype that ordinary people are just'primitive humans', that they are low-level'human subspecies', and that they are born inferior, lowly, lazy, useless and even evil in the form of pigs? It is because immortal cultivators also possess them deep in their hearts. The ability of'empathy' will show'unbearable' and'guilty' when dealing with the same kind. Therefore, we have to label ordinary people as'primitive' or even'inhuman' to be a little calmer. To kill them.

"In other words, even for the most cruel immortal cultivator, killing the same kind will cause a touch of soul.

"But for those who lack empathy, they don't care at all.

"They don't care about other people's feelings, the life or death of an innocent, cute and innocent girl, they don't care about raising their own relatives, or even their own life.

"A lot of serial killers are like this. They often kill people for a few dollars or even for no reason. They have no sense of guilt or fear. They don't care about their fate after being caught. Life is an object in their eyes. , Including themselves.

"They are not necessarily'obscure beasts'. In fact, many serial killers are highly educated, decent identities, and successful people who have entered and exited the upper class. They have extremely high EQ and IQ, and there is no need to kill people! But! They still took the risk and sent themselves to the execution ground, but the moment the bullet pried their skulls, they still didn't have the slightest fear, they didn't care, they just didn't care!

"So, we designed this series of questions. Putting aside the false questions that are extremely disturbing and confusing, the real question is to investigate what the tester cares about.

"In the simplest example, normal people will dodge or drive away when they find a wasp stinging on their hands, because they care about their body and don't want to get hurt. Who cares about the color of the wasp?

"Similarly, whether you are in the desert, whether your mother is fatally injured, or the whole world is completely unrecognizable... These tests are advanced one after another, from being fatally threatened to your family, to your home, and even the whole world. It's normal. How can one be indifferent?

"But our tester, you have also seen his brain scan, whether you are going to die of thirst and sleep on a desert planet, or your mother is lying in a pool of blood, and even the whole world is going to be, uh, , Destroyed by the'Modern Rebellion', and even his basic cognition as a human being has been subverted, he doesn't care, he doesn't care at all.

"Irritation, when his cerebral cortex reacts actively, obviously when he is actively thinking, his brain system only shows the emotion of'irritability'. He is indifferent to everything, even if he really has crystals in his skull. The brain’s “intelligence” doesn’t matter. This is the most typical manifestation of extreme lack of empathy."

"That's it, I finally understand."

Li Yao let out a sigh of relief, "So, Dean Zhuge, you can judge that this monarch is a holy ally!"

Zhuge Jinglun looked at Li Yao for a long time and laughed mysteriously.

"No, he is not a holy ally, just a cruel and perverted murderer."

Zhuge Jinglun smiled like a meat bun that was trampled on. "Even though he seemed indifferent to all the previous questions, the last question touched the deepest pain in his heart, making him a little bit of empathy. In the end, he finally looks a little bit like a person!"

Li Yao was stunned and couldn't figure out what Zhuge Jinglun meant: "The last question? It's...this is the subconscious world. He is actually a poor girl who was sold deep in the back streets and alleys by cruel parents...this Is the problem special?"

"Of course there is. Our problem is not a random fabrication. This poor girl who was sold by her father does have someone else, and that is his daughter."

Zhuge Jinglun extracted the tester’s information. In the past photos, the tester was gentle and personable. "Look at what he looked like before. He looks good. He is a very popular middle school. teacher."

"what……"

Li Yao looked at the photos, then looked at the beasts in the test room that had been pushed to the ground by four or five strong men.

But think about it carefully, when this gentleman answered the question just now, although he used vulgar words, but his logical thinking was quite meticulous, he did look like he was highly educated.

Such a guy actually sold his biological daughter!

"Before he was forty years old, this tester had always been an ordinary middle school teacher with his duties, no different from a normal person, but unfortunately, he was taken to the casino by a friend and became addicted to gambling. I owe a lot of loan sharks when I ran out of property."

Zhuge Jinglun said without expression, "Since then, this guy's cruel personality has gradually awakened. He first sold his own daughter to the gang to pay off the usury. After his wife and mother found out, he cruelly killed two loved ones. He even dismembered them very calmly and faked the scene, trying to pretend to be a gang who forced debts, murdered and vented their anger, oh, he even insured his mother and his wife with a large amount of personal accident insurance, and wanted to defraud. A lot of insurance money continued to gamble.

"He is such a scum that exterminates humanity, a demon inferior to animals and beasts, and he didn't even touch the issue of'mother falling in a pool of blood'.

"But, unfortunately, he is only a demon, but not a holy ally. Deepest in his heart, in the subconscious, he still has a trace of guilt towards his daughter, so when he was precisely hit by the last question, He still collapsed.

"Brain scans and brain wave analysis data show that he really collapsed, not just acting."

Li Yao had nothing to say, but felt that the guy who came up with this kind of "spiritual test" was a lunatic himself!

"Since he is not a holy ally--"

Long Yangjun suddenly said, "What does Dean Zhuge mean when he said'caught you' just now?"

At this time, a small door was opened next to him, and the scarred researcher walked out cursingly. When he saw Zhuge Jinglun and others, he was slightly startled, and then complained loudly: "Dean, our security measures should be upgraded. , At least change a stronger chair-these lunatics are infinitely powerful!

"It's really unlucky, the Saint Alliance hadn't caught it yet, but I was beaten for nothing, hiss!"

The researcher grinned, angrily.

"Okay, when I interrogate you later..."

Researcher Zhuge Jinglun grinned, "We must change to the strongest chair."
