That kind of pain like heart stopping, accompanied by mental tearing similar to split personality... Once at Xinglong Villa nightclub, and the other time just last night, when Zhuo Yeran was arrested.
It turns out that this is emotional paranoia!
If it hadn't been for Zongchen Bai's explanation, Mo Zhi would have thought he had a heart disease or some kind of mental illness.
What impressed him even more was the lingering obsession every time he had an attack... Fraud!
Every time paranoia comes, the desire for "fraud" is like taking some kind of spiritual opium, producing a bone-deep yearning that is simply irresistible...
Is my emotional paranoia “fraud”? !
My heart is beating violently...why is it a fraud?
According to Zongchen's description, this paranoia about fraud will become more and more serious throughout his career as a contractor...
Also...the onset of paranoia indicates that the contractor's skills have become sufficiently proficient, and the contract skills have become habitual, and that he is in the so-called "opportunity" to upgrade, and he...
It has only been less than a month since I became a contractor!
Mu Zhi forced himself to remain calm, thought deeply for a moment, and asked Zong Chen:
"The source of paranoia...is it because of the habituation of contract ability?"
Zong Chen was slightly surprised when he heard this, then smiled and nodded:
"Yes, you are very smart to have thought of this."
"There is an old saying among the people - Habits become natural. This illustrates the power or... stubbornness of habits! They affect our lives all the time."
"Under normal circumstances, habits can be either good or bad. Every Ironborn has certain habits of his own. Good habits can be cultivated and persisted, while bad habits must be eliminated and must not be contaminated or corrupted. I mean...for habits People can control and adjust appropriately."
"Then, here's the question..." Zong Chen touched his chin meaningfully and asked:
"Can the habituation of contract abilities be adjusted? Can it be changed?"
Mobi thought for a second and shook his head firmly: "No!"
There are good and bad habits, and people can adjust them appropriately in life, but how to adjust certain habits brought about by contract ability? Do you want to reverse awakening and become an Ironborn again? The ability to contract really exists and cannot be eliminated, so the resulting habit is inevitable and cannot be changed!
"Yes, that's it." Zongchen sighed:
"Therefore, contractors have one more trait than ordinary ironborn, which is the ability to contract. Habits often come from certain traits of the ironborn themselves, and the habits brought about by the trait of contract ability cannot be changed... Any habit will last for a long time Formation will inevitably lead to psychological changes in the contractor!"
"This kind of psychological change is irreversible. If you add up, you will eventually form some kind of obsession!"
If so... This is similar to what Mu Zhi guessed, otherwise he wouldn't have thought that emotional obsession comes from the habituation of contract ability - contract ability leads to certain habits, and the psychological changes caused by these habits gradually accumulate, eventually leading to obsession .
Therefore, emotional obsession comes from the habituation of contract ability...
The end point of deepening obsession must be madness - the higher the contractor's level, the closer to madness!
I heard Captain Vera say before that "the price is much heavier than the benefits brought by the ability." Mu Zhi actually didn't think so, thinking that the benefits brought by the extraordinary ability would definitely outweigh the disadvantages. Only then did he understand that the contractor was just A road of no return...
It's okay when the level is low, the price and original sin are not unbearable. Once the contract ability is used frequently, the contract ability will become more and more proficient, and emotional obsession will occur... the kind of physical torture like heart stopping, that kind of Mental pain like split personality will come at any time like drug addiction and will accompany the contractor throughout his life.
Even if the level is successfully upgraded and the contract ability becomes more powerful, it will also bring about psychological imbalance, deeper obsession, and eventually lead to madness...
The path of a contractor feels more difficult than the path to enlightenment! No, this is completely different from cultivating immortals. The end point of cultivating immortals is good, but the end point of contractors is sliding into the abyss.
After hearing Zongchen's description, everyone present fell into some strange emotions...
Everyone is a contractor, and they are all running wildly on this road of no return, but Vera, the fastest runner, is closer to madness than others.
Vera said:
"For contractors, mentality control is very important! The more you can control your own psychology, the more determined your mentality is, the better you can resist obsession and delay madness... Therefore, newcomers are required to fill in a psychological questionnaire after awakening, and every time a contractor upgrades Mental health should also be examined when...”
Mo Cai quickly recalled the set of psychological test questions he was asked to take when he woke up. He thought that this is the meaning of psychological testing, and he had a very vivid analogy in his mind:
It seems that upgrading the contract also requires checking the "Tao Heart". If the Tao Heart is unstable, it will easily cause cause and effect. When you die during the tribulation, the Tao will disappear... This is somewhat similar to cultivating immortals.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Douglas had been listening to the three men in white clothes. At this moment, he finally thought of something, laughed loudly, pointed at himself and told everyone:
"Me! I...I found that my current state is the best!"
Everyone looked sideways...
Douglas stretched out a finger and said seriously:
"I should be considered the least qualified among the contractors. It has been more than ten years, and I haven't formed any habits, nor have I felt any emotions or obsessions... Doesn't this mean, haha!"
"I will stay in this state forever and won't be affected by those ghosts?"
Rub... Unexpectedly, I almost fell.
Indeed, Douglas has not reached an upgraded state for more than ten years. Instead, he is in a very safe situation. He does not have to worry about the influence of emotional obsessions, nor does he have to endure rapid heartbeats, schizophrenia, and going crazy. Doesn't exist, okay...
It's like a class of students. The one with the best score will always be put under pressure. If he scores less in the next exam, he will face harsh criticism from teachers and parents. But a player like Douglas, who is at the bottom, will never I have this trouble.
Zongchen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, waved his hand and said:
"There's no need to worry too much about crazy things!"
"We are all low-level contractors now, and they are still far away from uncontrollable mental madness..."
This comfort sounds a bit shocking...
Iron Eagle Westo, who had remained silent, smiled:
"White, red, orange, and yellow are just low-level contractors. They are not greatly affected by habituation and emotional obsession. There are not many contractors who go crazy at this stage. They just need to pay attention at ordinary times;"
"The three levels of green, green, and blue are intermediate contractors, also known as half-spirits. It is at this stage that they begin to be more and more affected by mental disorders... However, you must know that reaching the half-spirit level is already close to the world of contractors. At the top, ninety-nine percent of people cannot reach this level. Even in Pandora headquarters, contractors at the semi-spiritual level are extremely rare, and they are basically chief-level existences."
"Not bad!" Zongchen stood up and said:
"As for the high-level contractors at the purple and gold levels... I've never seen them before. I even suspect... that contractors who have reached this level may have broken away from the Ironborn form."
After speaking, he sighed:
"I have been a contractor for decades, and the loess has been buried in my chest. I have only reached the yellow level. I feel that it will be difficult to break through to the green level in my lifetime... What I want to say is that there is no need to worry too much about the level that you will never reach."
The higher the contractor level, the greater the risk, provided you can reach that level... Even an organization as ancient and powerful as Pandora only has a few dozen half-spirits, one in a million.
This can make people feel more at ease... Mozhi takes a deep breath to calm down.
However, the curiosity is still there. Especially when I saw the fierce collision between the intermediate contractors, that is, the half-spirited nine-headed water snake and the fifth chief, I sighed at the power of the semi-spiritual level; I was also interested in the high-level contractors, and those at the top of the contract world were not Knowing what it is like, what kind of power it has...
More importantly, I don't seem to be a poor student like Douglas, so I feel lucky to be a poor student...because in less than a month, I already have emotional obsessions, and it happened twice!
However, should we tell this matter? Unpredictable has been weighing it.
Twenty-two days... This time is a bit short, and I am a little unsure! Uncle Cat is thirty-eight years old, a red-level contractor, and has only been promoted to the first level. Douglas has not felt emotional obsession in more than ten years!
Caution... Caution is the way to survive. This is the truth summarized by the Fool based on personal experience. This matter must be carefully evaluated!
If it were made public, would it attract Pandora's attention? Bringing unnecessary trouble to yourself? Even though he is a low-level civil servant in Pandora, he is still not at ease with the mysterious organization he belongs to...
Since Pandora has always taken researching the Language of Runes and Contractors as her own duty, will she be arrested by the headquarters to study it? Will you do some ethically prohibited experiments?
He is just a grassroots civil servant and has no power to resist at all.
If you conceal this matter... you can grow obscenely inside Pandora and gain a certain degree of freedom, but you will have to find the upgrade process and method yourself, which is also risky.
Every time a contractor upgrades, there is a risk of death. The wild path that can be found will definitely not be more professional and reliable than Pandora's research on contractors... After all, as an ancient institution of contractors, Pandora has the experience to deal with most risks.
Thinking of this, Mo Zhi swallowed his saliva, his eyes finally fell on the white-clothed captain, and asked tentatively:
"Well, Your Excellency Zongchen Baiyi... I want to know, how long does it take for you to feel emotional obsession after awakening?"
It feels comfortable to ask this way... In Zongchen's opinion, the unpredictable question is just a concern for the future, and he wants to obtain knowledge about emotional obsessions in advance to prevent being in a hurry.
This in itself is a kind of "fraud"! He is unpredictable and has no idea that he is already so skilled...
Zongchen pondered for a few seconds: "The time is uncertain. When I first felt emotional obsession... it was probably two years after I became a contractor."
Vera smiled: "I was relatively quick. It took less than a year."
Uncle Cat: "I am eleven years..."
Douglas: “…….”
Akali was somewhat proud of this: "I am three months old, which is quite fast. Many people know about this."
Westo: "That's true! Akali is very famous in this matter, but being fast at first doesn't mean anything... Well, I am one year and four months away."
Zongchen thought about it for a moment and explained in detail honestly:
"So, in addition to the practicality of her contract ability, Akali is a key training target within Pandora."
"The faster the upgrade, the greater the possibility of becoming a half-spirit, which is the so-called genius contractor, such as several chiefs of the Punisher Council... As a subordinate, I don't know the specific situation of the chief, but some colleagues have After chatting, some geniuses were upgraded in less than a month."
"Haha... It is not a simple good thing to level up too quickly. As I said just now - the sooner you reach the semi-spirit level, the easier it is to go crazy."
The last sentence was a kind reminder from Zong Chen, but Mo Zhi had already captured important information.
Someone once upgraded in one month, and it was not too outrageous for him to take 22 days. After all, there were predecessors as reference... Secondly, Akali is a key training target, which shows that Pandora does not hold the view of contractors who upgrade quickly. A vigilant attitude, but what Xiang Zongchen said was called a "genius" and was focused on training...
The problem I was worried about didn't seem to exist.
It is true that one has no desires or desires, but this is a state of mind, a state of being satisfied with reality, rather than going to the other extreme, rejecting all fame and fortune, and blindly pursuing indifference...
Since the risk is not high and you can get the attention and training of your workplace, why not do it?
Unpredictable breathed a sigh of relief, looked around at everyone, and said with a smile:
"Guys, I look like a genius!"
"That emotional obsession... I seem to already have it! Can I apply for an upgrade?"
The air suddenly stagnated and became as solid as water.
Zongchen was stunned for two seconds, thinking back to the files he had read, and then he realized that the "Nightmare" in front of him had just become the Punisher...
Vera and Uncle Cat looked at each other strangely, with incredible expressions on each other's faces...
Tie Ying and Akali suddenly felt the atmosphere change, and turned to look at everyone without knowing why, trying to get the reason from others.
"You mean..." Zong Chen's lips trembled and he pointed at Mo Zhi: "You mean, you have emotional obsession? You have only just awakened a few days ago!"
Unpredictable nodded: "As of today, it has been exactly twenty-three days."
"Oh my God!" Iron Eagle Westo then realized what happened, his eyes fixed on the unpredictable:
"You're not mistaken!"
Vera, who looked horrified, said: "It's absolutely true...our team went to his awakening. I remember it very clearly, the night of August 17th!"
The pride on Akali's face disappeared, and she reached out to cover her mouth: "...It's actually faster than me!"
Vera said silently: "It took me a year... unpredictable, twenty-two days!"
Uncle Cat's pupils have narrowed to a slit: "...I really don't want to talk, I'm eleven years old!"
Douglas: "..."
After being stunned for a full minute, Zongchen slapped his forehead: "Twenty-two days, this is almost the fastest record!"
"You are such a genius!"
