Embers Ad Infinitum

Before, after recovering from the sudden "impulse" to hide, Bai Chen had already stood up, opened the window, and was ready to cooperate with Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao to deal with the "high-level unintentional person". Therefore, she had seen Nanke Guanguan Lord Zhou Yue’s actions.

Jiang Baimian was not surprised at all by Bai Chen's answer and asked:

"Why do you think so?"

Bai Chen briefly talked about his analysis process:

"At that time, Guanzhu Zhou only did three things: first, throw away the flashlight, which you don't need to think about; second, smash out the bottle containing, well, it should be Fu Shui; third, use the Bagua mirror to look at the 'high-level careless person' '."

Frankly speaking, Long Yuehong always felt unscientific when hearing the terms Fu Shui and Bagua Mirror.

What’s even more unscientific is that they actually work!

It's like the plot of the story is reflected in reality, and the beginning of the story includes a special sentence: "Purely imaginary, not real."

In such a trance, Long Yuehong heard Bai Chen continue:

"If the 'Higher Unintentional One' is afraid of Fu Shui, then after he covers up and dodges, there is no need to escape, because Zhou Guanzhu seems to have only brought a bottle of water."

Moreover, the talisman water in the plastic bottle had been spilled all over the floor, and there was only a little bit left in it, which was nothing to worry about.

After excluding the two answers of flashlight and talisman, Bai Chen's conclusion is very clear.

Jiang Baimian first said "hmm" and expressed his agreement, and then commented:

"There is a problem. You equate the intelligence of the 'higher mindless' with human beings.

"We can clearly see that he is different from the 'higher heartless ones' in the ruins of Swamp 1, and is closer to a beast than a human being.

"In a hurry, the beast cannot think about whether the enemy still has Fu Shui. He will only stay away from danger based on instinct."

The "high-level careless people" in the ruins of Swamp No. 1 were obviously trained by Xiao Chong, or were influenced by him, so they behaved more like humans.

Bai Chen thought for a while, recalling his many years of experience in dealing with wild beasts and ordinary "careless people", nodded and said:

"really.

"He was so powerful that I subconsciously thought of him as a human being."

She did not feel ashamed or unwilling to admit that she had made a mistake in analyzing the problem.

On the one hand, in the career of a wilderness wanderer, making mistakes often means danger. If someone points out your mistakes, they will save you. On the other hand, in a similar review, the atmosphere advocated by the "Old Tune Team" is to be courageous. Criticism and self-criticism, even Jiang Baimian himself, sometimes thinks poorly and is reminded.

Jiang Baimian turned to Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong:

"What do you think?"

"I still think this, this is too fantasy." Long Yuehong considered his words.

Shang Jianyao nodded and said:

"Because he is a ghost..."

He dragged out the word "ghost" for a long time, deliberately showing an eerie feeling.

Jiang Baimian gave him a blank look:

"speak English!"

"Those things restrain him." Shang Jianyao straightened his expression and turned into a professional, "There is a price for human beings' awakening, and there should be a price for the 'higher unintentional people'. The 'Mirage Dragon Sect' worships the 'God of Illusion', and they know this It’s normal what the costs to the field might be, what the weaknesses are.”

Is this the professional and serious Shang Jianyao now? Jiang Baimian muttered, not daring to voice this question.

Hearing this, Long Yuehong slowly woke up and accepted the fact that Zhou Yue used the artifacts of Shen Guanfeng to scare away the "higher unintentional people".

Maybe it's because when he met those awakened people before, he either didn't participate at all, or didn't know or didn't take advantage of the price paid by the other party, so he didn't have a deep impression in this regard, and he didn't directly respond to the things he encountered. Think about it.

"Not bad." Jiang Baimian responded to Shang Jianyao's analysis, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

She smiled like a fox who stole a little hen:

"From this point of view, the things prepared by Guanzhu Zhou revealed very important information.

"The possible weaknesses of those awakened in the realm of illusion are:

"Afraid of water, light, mirrors, and face blindness.

"Hmm...what does the sack on her back represent?"

The fear of water comes from the bottled talisman water, the fear of light comes from the flashlight, the fear of mirrors is naturally the Bagua mirror, and the face blindness is Zhou Yue's own manifestation.

This... Long Yuehong was stunned for a moment after hearing this. She had an inexplicable feeling that she had a secret that she accidentally revealed in normal times, but the team leader saw it but didn't say it.

Guanzhu Zhou didn't even do anything, and he was analyzed as one, two, three, four, five!

Bang bang bang, Shang Jianyao clapped his hands.

As for the meaning of the sack, he also sincerely answered:

"Afraid of being tied up and beaten."

"Who is not afraid?" Jiang Baimian replied angrily, and then said, "Afraid of light can be ruled out. After Zhou Guanzhu saw the 'high-level careless person' standing under the street lamp, he threw away the flashlight, which means that she is also I think so. Facial blindness does not constitute a reason for being scared away, and it can be ruled out. Afraid of water, well, you should have noticed that the body that was thrown into the bar had obvious bite marks on its neck, and blood was flowing out. A lot. This is also water, and the 'Higher Unintentional One' is obviously not afraid."

She paused and added:

"Well, I can't rule out that he is afraid of a specific type of water. Unfortunately, Zhou Guanzhu and Gnawa were both there at the time, so I couldn't collect some for research. But, this possibility is still relatively small.

“The sacks have not been used, but it cannot be ruled out that they have had a deterrent effect.

"In short, the most likely reason is that the 'Higher Heartless One' is afraid of mirrors."

Bai Chen echoed thoughtfully:

"If this hypothesis is true, it can explain why the 'higher unintentional man' did not enter the bar.

"When the lights are on inside, the glass in the windows is like mirrors."

When Jiang Baimian heard this, he laughed and said to Long Yuehong and Shang Jianyao:

"Look, look, this is called drawing inferences from one instance, making bold assumptions, and verifying carefully."

This praise made Bai Chen feel a little uncomfortable.

After praising Bai Chen, Jiang Baimian said to Long Yuehong:

"You also need to prepare a mirror that you can carry with you."

Only Long Yuehong was missing in the entire group.

——As ladies and gunmen who are good at sniping, Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen both have makeup mirrors. In order for Shang Jianyao to make his abilities work on him, he also had more than one side.

"I'll change it at dawn!" It was a matter of life and death, and Long Yuehong didn't show any embarrassment at all.

He had previously discovered that there were stalls in Tarnan where cosmetic mirrors could be traded.

This is also clearly from the ruins of an old world city.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Jianyao said lightly and gloomily:

"Maybe it was used by a deceased person, and her ghost lives in it..."

"Don't scare Xiaohong, let's get down to business." Jiang Baimian interrupted Shang Jianyao's ghost story.

Am I afraid of this? Long Yuehong thought about it and decided to choose a relatively new cosmetic mirror.

At this time, Jiang Baimian began to self-examine:

"I made a mistake this time.

"Because Tarnan has good security, is not small in size, and is protected by robot guards, I subconsciously thought that the 'higher careless one' would not attack here, and I did not have enough vigilance."

"Heartless" attacks on smaller human settlements to obtain food are common things on the earth.

"I also made a mistake." Shang Jianyao followed up. "When the wind started to blow and someone banged on the door, I didn't go out and play hide-and-seek with him to see who could be found first."

"Most of these situations are children's pranks." Bai Chen gave his own opinion, "We really cannot let down our guard, but there is no need to be suspicious because human energy has its limits."

So I don’t want to be a human anymore? Such words suddenly flashed through Jiang Baimian's mind.

She thought Shang Jianyao would respond like this, but Shang Jianyao just nodded:

"Being a child doesn't affect hide and seek."

This time, the brainwaves of the two did not match.

After each had finished their review and summed up their experiences and lessons, Jiang Baimian turned to say:

"The scope of this 'Advanced Heartless' ability is quite large and the effect is very strong. I suspect that he has either reached the end of the 'Origin Sea' and found himself, but it is just because he has lost his wisdom and has never been able to defeat it, or in Before suffering from "Wuxin disease", he entered the "soul corridor".

"Fortunately, a strong person without wisdom is much weaker than normal."

Jiang Baimian has always believed that "advanced unintentional people" cannot break through the final level of the "Ocean of Origin" - it is a confrontation with oneself, and it is difficult to complete without a clear consciousness and sufficient wisdom.

Hearing this, Long Yuehong subconsciously said:

"The 'Advanced Heartless Ones' may not necessarily be awakened, but may also have distortions in their brains and other organs, producing similar abilities..."

There is no question of whether we can cross the "sea of ​​origin" or not.

As he spoke, Long Yuehong fell silent because he found that the "high-level unintentional person", at least the one he met now, was still very similar to the awakened person in some performances:

They all have certain weaknesses or costs.

"Yeah." Jiang Baimian did not directly deny it. After all, there was a lack of sufficient samples and evidence.

She thought and said:

"Let's assume that this 'Higher Heartless One' is an awakened type, and the price is to be afraid of mirrors. Then what are his three abilities?"

"Create an illusion!" Long Yuehong answered quickly.

Jiang Baimian nodded lightly and made a modification:

"Currently, it seems there is no shortcoming in the ability to hallucinate."

"And the ability that makes us always make wrong choices." Shang Jianyao assumed the posture of a famous detective, just holding a pipe, "I feel that this is for our conditioned reflex."

Only he and Jiang Baimian had experienced this ability just now.

"Yes." Jiang Baimian agreed, "It should be a conditioned reflex or instinctive reaction that misleads us, preventing us from responding correctly to external stimuli."

At that time, she clearly had control over her body, but she always made choices she shouldn't have.

"It sounds a bit scary." Long Yuehong couldn't help but sigh, "How should we deal with this?"

"Wear a set of clothes studded with broken mirrors so that he won't dare to look at you." Shang Jianyao provided a way.

He then sang:

"You shine the brightest..."

Before Jiang Baimian could glare at him, Shang Jianyao calmed down and said seriously:

“You can change your conditioned reflexes.

“For example, when you encounter an enemy, your first reaction is not to draw a gun, but to dance.

"When you are affected by that ability again, your negative will become positive."

Long Yuehong first thought this made sense, and then realized the problem:

What if we encounter not this "higher mindless one", but other enemies or beasts?

Dance for them?
