"Let's do it step by step..." Alex briefly described what he saw to everyone: "Based on her memory and experience, the purpose of the truth torturing her is probably to …”
"Give mental stimulation from the outside." Zhao Sida continued without changing her tone, "The vast majority of psychics have had very painful experiences, and even need to have a mental breakdown before they can truly awaken the ability to modify reality."
"Old Zhao, do you know what's going on?"
Wu Ming looked at the doll girl curiously. The latter hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "There is a lot of information stored in my database. After knowing that there are many transformed psykers under the Truth Society, I re-read the information about psykers. information, and based on that information several otherworldly transformations were constructed as to how the Truth would transform ordinary people into psykers."
"It is one of the conjectures that artificial mental stimulation caused the subject's mental collapse and other means were used to assist in the awakening of psychic abilities..."
Alex showed a dejected expression: "It seems that you have guessed it... Yes, the Society of Truth artificially copied the process of the birth of psykers. They first used drugs to give these people extraordinary potential, and then used these people to He was taken to the Shadow Realm and tortured both mentally and physically with various torture methods, forcing him to have a mental breakdown and awaken as a psyker..."
Wu Ming's eyes involuntarily turned to Wang Ran, who was sleeping soundly. What he wanted to say finally turned into a sigh: "If they could have been discovered and stopped earlier, they might have been rescued earlier..."
According to Alex's estimation, Wang Ran stayed in that suffocating and desperate room for at least five days. Wu Ming still doesn't know if cognitive modification and memory processing operations are still useful to her. , can it eliminate the shadow rooted in her heart after being tortured.
"I have never thought that in addition to the counter-effects of devouring souls, there is such a hidden reason for the madness of psykers..." Alex cast a pity look at Otto.
Otto is also a pseudo-psychic person transformed from an ordinary person. He must have suffered a mental breakdown. The one or two weeks when his consciousness was vague and blank in his memory may have been when he was caught in the shadow world and tortured. A time of awakening…
But he didn't seem to have this awareness at all.
"Can you please stop looking at me when you say this, and don't look at the top of my head! My hair loss is fucking natural! It's not like they pulled it out one by one!" Feeling Alex's pity Looking at it, Otto suddenly burst into anger, "Shit! Isn't this the same as admitting that I have lost my fucking hair! Damn it!"
Wu Ming patted Otto's shoulder empathetically and told him to calm down: "Don't be so excited, just like some people may have palms that sweat more easily, some people may have thicker hair than others, and some people may have Just like superpowers and worries, these are inevitable differences between everyone."
"I think that having little hair is not a shameful flaw, nor is it a trait worth bragging about, just like having superpowers. You can stand up and face the ridicule, and I always think that ridiculing others is something different from ordinary people. It’s something as childish and boring as swearing between kindergarten kids.”
"I think having superpowers is already a huge difference. Don't make it sound like sweaty palms are on the same level..."
After being severely beaten by the other party, Otto's personality also restrained a lot. In addition, he has been subtly being educated by Alex as a good person these days. His mental age seems to have grown a lot in just a week or two. At the same time, I also began to seriously reflect on some of the childish and funny behaviors I had done to prove myself...
——But if you think about it carefully, what this guy said before does make some sense, and it seems that he has never made fun of my hair since that battle...
Just when Otto had changed his mind about Wu Ming, what the guy said next made him deduct the increased impression points again.
"Oh, by the way, I happen to have a way to solve your hair loss problem once and for all. When the time comes, Shabai will provide the source of your hair and let Lao Zhao transplant your hair. How about I give you a 40% discount on the price?"
"Shit! guna!"
Elizabeth, who had originally moved a sofa to sleep in the basement, suddenly perked up her ears when the two were arguing, and raised her head with half-closed eyes: "Brother? You called me?"
"It's okay, go to sleep." As soon as her head popped out, Zhao Sida pushed her back, and then turned to Alex, "Don't worry about the little accident just now, please continue."
Alex looked a little weird: "Has your chatting style always been like this..."
"If Lao Zhao hadn't stopped him, the topic would have been skewed for even longer." Wu Ming spread his hands.
"Okay, okay." Alex sorted out his words and thought carefully about what he just said. After a while, he spoke again, "I saw a figure at the end of this girl's dream memory. Telling a plan, this is a memory that cannot be found in the brains of those psychics, but that memory has become fragmented due to madness and mental breakdown. It took me a lot of effort to extract a little bit of effective information..."
Wu Ming and Zhao Sida looked at each other. The latter clearly read the confusion in the former's eyes, while the former only saw a large string of flowing characters.
Otto also became interested. He was curious about the memory that did not exist in his impression, and came over: "What information is it?"
"You, her...them...and them and those pseudo-psykers before."
Alex pointed at Otto, then at the unconscious Wang Ran and other victims, as well as at the members of the Truth Society who were wrapped in cocoons a little further away, and then his expression became serious: "These people Everything is part of the plan. Being treated as abandoned sons and cannon fodder is actually to spread you out reasonably. Based on the relationship that you were once ordinary people, even if the hunting group is used as an opponent, they will not kill them all. On the contrary, they will be washed away. After the memory seal uses extraordinary power, the probability of sending you back is very high..."
"However, in fact, at the moment when you had a mental breakdown, the master not only showed you the full plan, but also modified your mental structure, planting a 'switch' in your heart that will be triggered if the conditions are met."
"For the sake of safety, the master will definitely erase your memories in the end, but as soon as the time comes, these pseudo-psykers who have returned to the crowd will automatically trigger the 'switch' buried deep in their hearts, recall everything, and drive you Take action to complete your respective missions..."
