Perception is the innate ability of human beings or other creatures to survive. Human beings have five senses, and it is precisely through the five senses that human beings can more truly contact their surroundings, the environment, and everything in the world. Except for those who are in a vegetative state or are disabled, no one can escape from it. No one can abandon the five senses. Perception is both a sign of life and a creed of exploration.
The five senses can be specifically divided into shape, sound, smell, taste, and touch, that is, the five sense organs of human beings. Specifically speaking, they are vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.
Shape refers to the shapes and shapes seen in the field of vision, including all shapes and shapes such as long, square, flat, round, large, small, more, less, color, direction, behavior, and appearance.
Sound refers to the sounds heard by the ears, including high, low, long, short and other sounds, emitting sounds and hearing sounds.
Smell refers to the sense of smell smelled by the nose, which is the sticky response of particles, and generally refers to the various gases absorbed.
Taste refers to the taste experienced by the mouth, including bitter, spicy, sour, sweet, salty and other tastes.
Touch refers to body touch, including various tactile sensations such as cold, smooth, astringent, soft, hard, or painful and itchy.
Many times what you see may not be real. Through some special means or special abilities, the spirit body will interfere with your visual nerves through illusions, causing the victim to fall into a state of hallucination. This situation is often called visual hallucination. .
Of course, nothing is absolute. In addition to vision hallucinations, in particular, even your body touch and even your entire five senses will be affected, making others believe in the so-called reality even more.
but……
Even if this is the case, even if the falsehood is developed to the extreme, even if the illusion is enough to block or even interfere with the five senses, in fact, this is still not true, and it is still not confusing the real with the fake.
Even so, then...
What is reality?
What is false reality in the true sense?
That is……
It’s so real that even human organs and even souls are convinced!
Deceive vision, deceive the brain, deceive the five senses, deceive the body organs, deceive the soul.
This is false reality.
………
3 days have passed?
Three days have passed like this?
Thinking of this, a chilling guess soon came to mind:
"No, no, no..."
The more Cheng Ying thought about it, the more panicked she became. Her body began to tremble slightly unconsciously, and her face finally showed a look of fear.
Next…
"Ah ah!"
Suddenly, Cheng Ying moved, turned forward due to the unfathomable fear, and then suddenly let out a loud roar, rushed forward, rushed towards the wall, and hit the wall with her body.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Bursts of dull noises caused by body collisions resounded in this dark space. Cheng Ying hit, hitting again and again like a madman under the pressure of fear, but it was useless, completely useless. Despite the repeated damage to the body, the walls remained intact.
It is true, everything is true, so true that it cannot be changed, and it is so true that there is no doubt about it.
so……
Can't get out, absolutely can't get out.
The ending is also doomed.
All that was waiting for Cheng Ying was death, the most painful slow death, dying of thirst or starvation in a closed space that was like a coffin! ! !
………
A minute later, Cheng Ying, whose shoulders were bruised, slumped to the ground with a look of despair. After a few minutes of daze, Cheng Ying suddenly reached into her pocket as if she had remembered something, and then took out a single coin. There is a black communicator about half the size of a palm.
Yes, this thing was specially recommended by He Fei for the executor to carry after he became the captain. It was also a choice made by the young man after careful consideration. The reason is very good. Supernatural missions are all kinds of strange, so the mission world must also change frequently. After all, it is impossible for the executor to You can use your mobile phone in every supernatural mission. What if you enter a mission scene in the wilderness with no signal? Or what if we enter an ancient scene? In that case, mobile phones are of no use, and only communicators can maximize remote communication between team members.
The communicator in her hand was made in Hell Train, and its communication range could reach up to 7 to 8 kilometers. Yes, Cheng Ying tried to use the communicator to ask for help from her companions, intending to seek help from the outside world.
pity……
Bah, bah bah bah.
When I turned on the communication switch, I found that the communicator couldn't be used except for the constant buzzing sound!
No matter which button is pressed or who is contacted, the communicator is always making that chilling noise. What does this mean?
This means that there is no signal at all in the closed space and no outside companions can be contacted!
The signal is blocked.
The trembling became more and more severe, and the face gradually turned pale.
Snap.
The communicator slipped from Cheng Ying's trembling fingers and fell to the ground.
………
A few hours passed, and the time entered 17:25 pm.
In the closed space, Cheng Ying almost collapsed, even on the verge of collapse.
She was weak, thirsty and hungry. Time was tormenting her, the environment was tormenting her, and the claustrophobic situation with no way to escape was tormenting her.
And under this seemingly harmless torture, the professional killer was able to clearly realize the ending and what was waiting for her.
Death, slow death.
As time goes by, we slowly enter the end of life, and eventually we die of thirst, starvation, and sleep.
At this moment, Cheng Ying lost her composure in the past, and for the first time she lost her composure.
, Despair and fear have now occupied her mind and heart.
In fact, after being a professional killer for so many years, strictly speaking, she has tempered her mental and spiritual perseverance, and her perseverance to not give up in desperate situations is far beyond that of ordinary people. This is said to be true, and in fact, it is true. There are very few encounters in any supernatural mission that can truly make Cheng Ying collapse in despair. Seeing this, someone must have asked, since Cheng Ying is so determined and calm, why did she react like this at this moment? Or what caused a veteran who had always been calm and calm to be on the verge of despair?
The answer is simple, it is the result of the combination of psychological pressure and self-psychological suggestion.
It is a special sense of oppression created by using the time environment to target the human mind. .
First of all, it can be determined that most people will not calm down when they are in a situation like Cheng Ying. After all, this is a small enclosed space that cannot be escaped at all. There is nothing except the walls. In addition, the environment is dark, and various factors combine to affect people. The psychological pressure caused is undoubtedly extremely huge, which can inadvertently bring out the negative emotions deep in people's souls.
As for self-psychological suggestion, it refers to the subconscious reaction when a person is influenced by the external environment or his wishes, concepts, emotions, judgments, and attitudes. It is also the most common psychological phenomenon in daily life. Psychologists believe that suggestion is the most common psychological phenomenon in human beings. The simplest and most typical conditional reaction, from the perspective of psychological mechanism, is a hypothesis affirmed by subjective will. The hypothesis does not mean that it is definitely well-founded, but because its existence has been subjectively affirmed, psychologically it tries its best to move towards it. Regarding this content, and people are always receiving external cues in their lives, the difference is nothing more than big or small.
For example, when a person is placed in an environment where he can neither escape nor contact the outside world, then as time goes by, he will naturally develop a self-destructive mentality. Even if there is no danger, he will be affected by the dual influence of environment and time. The trapped person still thinks that he or she will die.
Under the current situation, except for mindless robots, all humans will be tricked and then collapse under the psychological suggestion of the invisible material.
So strictly speaking, it is very amazing and rare that Cheng Ying can persist until now without completely breaking down. Thanks to her being a professional killer, her mental toughness is far beyond ordinary people. If it were anyone else, no, even if it were another senior person, it would not be possible. I persisted longer than Cheng Ying. The only regret is...
Human beings are human beings after all. Even if their perseverance is so strong, even if their minds are extremely firm, human beings are human beings after all, and humans will always have their limits.
Finally, after being trapped for three days, Cheng Ying felt that she could no longer hold on. Note that the unbearable here did not mean that she could not bear it mentally, but her physical condition.
Obviously, relying on extraordinary mental perseverance, Cheng Ying was desperate in the claustrophobic environment, but she could still persevere. Unfortunately, even if your mental perseverance is extraordinary, your body is still mortal and still needs energy. Replenish.
At this moment, the intense hunger and thirst gradually heated up and expanded, irritating Cheng Ying's throat all the time.
Thirsty, so thirsty...
Yes, a person may not starve to death without eating for up to a week, but if a person does not drink water for more than three consecutive days, he is very likely to die of thirst. Now Cheng Ying has been without water for nearly three days. , although hunger can be endured, only hunger and thirst cannot be suppressed.
………
Time is cruel and timeless. It will not take care of anyone, nor will it pity anyone. It will only advance and pass away bit by bit in accordance with its eternal rules.
One day passed.
Two days passed.
When the time came to the third day, which was the fifth day after being trapped, Cheng Ying...
It's almost gone.
"Hoo, ho, ho..."
Pain, depression, endless depression, accompanied by hunger and thirst, tortured Cheng Ying crazily, torturing the mind and body of this professional killer. In the darkness, her body was weaker than before. She was leaning against the corner, breathing rapidly, and her face was so pale. The bloodless, chapped lips are even more shocking to see!
She understood, she had understood it a long time ago.
The guess was completely correct, and the analysis was flawless. Grandma Qi indeed wanted to trap herself alive and kill herself using the most shocking and terrifying method.
Slow death, death of thirst or exhaustion after suffering psychological torture, this way of death is very painful, very painful.
what's the result?
As a result, Grandma Qi's plan was successful and her goal was about to be achieved.
Cheng Ying... is about to die.
Not to mention how to suppress it, the hunger and thirst alone basically cost her most of her life. As mentioned above, relying on her extraordinary perseverance, Cheng Ying has not suffered a mental breakdown until now and can still hold on. However, at this moment, she Still vaguely aware that I can't hold on for long, the key lies in my physical condition.
After five days of not eating or drinking, she was about to die. Not only could she be aware of death, but with a killer's understanding of human body functions, she could also further calculate the approximate time of her death.
In just a few more hours, when the time reaches the seventh day, he will die of dehydration! ! !
"Woo..."
For some reason, as her body gradually weakened, as her mind gradually became confused, and as she calculated her personal death time, Cheng Ying slowly moved and turned on the flashlight again. She also stood up with difficulty while holding on to the wall, using She gritted her teeth and stood up with her last bit of strength. With the help of a flashlight, she stared at the small environment and the enclosed space. Cheng Ying lost all movement and stood silently, like a sculpture without responding for a long time.
until……
"call!"
Ten minutes later, after taking a deep breath, Cheng Ying's expression changed, and the despair on her face disappeared. Next, she moved again, and took action again.
His right hand slowly stretched out to his lower back, and then pulled out a dagger, a gleaming dagger.
With the help of a flashlight, Cheng Ying stared at the dagger calmly for a long time, seemingly in a trance.
Then……
She pointed the blade of the dagger at her neck.
And then……
Close your eyes, and at the same time exert force with your right hand, the dagger will stab straight into the neck and throat when the next second comes! ! !
"Cheng Ying, are you there? Where are you?"
Stagnation.
The blade suddenly stopped half a centimeter away from the throat, and was forcibly stopped by the professional killer who heard the sound.
At the critical moment, just when Cheng Ying was about to pierce the dagger into her throat, a voice came from her mind. A voice came out of thin air, a voice that was extremely familiar to her personally.
That is
A man's voice, a voice she heard often, the owner of the voice was none other than He Fei!
Yes, just the last second, just now, He Fei's voice came and appeared directly in Cheng Ying's mind without any communication equipment.
The result was predictable. Because the sound was too abrupt, Cheng Ying was stunned on the spot while instinctively stopping the dagger.
Until another cry came into the brain:
"Cheng Ying? Can you hear what I say?"
Ding!
His heart was beating wildly, and he was shocked. After confirming that the moaning was not an auditory hallucination, the next second, in addition to a sense of joy quietly arising, the professional killer's eyes also involuntarily became moist, and then he tried his best to open his dry and white mouth. , answer immediately:
"Hoo, ho, He Fei, it's me, I'm Cheng Ying!"
After answering, He Fei's worried question came to his mind again: "Cheng Ying, I just went to your room and knocked on the door, but it turned out that the door was not locked at all, and I couldn't find you when I entered the room. Where are you now? Is it difficult? Could it be that you are still in the restaurant on the first floor?"
Um?
After hearing the other party's question, Cheng Ying was stunned for a moment, and a series of question marks instinctively popped up in her mind.
With confusion and doubts, Cheng Ying was confused. She finally came back to her senses and immediately answered truthfully: "I did go to the restaurant before, but on the way back, I was attacked by Granny Qi when I passed the stairs."
"What!"
Next, Cheng Ying began to narrate, telling He Fei the complete story of his encounter with Grandma Qi on the stairs and then being trapped in this enclosed space.
She endured her weakness and waited for Cheng Ying to finish her narration. This time, no sound came from her mind for a long time. It seemed that the other party was thinking and was silent. It took a long time, until her steps were shaky and she couldn't help but stretched out her hand to support the wall. Finally, He Fei's voice came again, and there was a shocking sentence that even Cheng Ying didn't want to believe:
"You said you were attacked and trapped in a closed space around 0:30 in the morning five days ago. It's the fifth day now, right? But, do you know that the current time is the early morning of the 24th? It’s 1 o’clock sharp, which means that only half an hour has passed since you were trapped until now when I talked to you on the phone.”
What! ! !
"You, what did you say? This...how is this possible? How is this possible!?"
Sure enough, after hearing He Fei's answer, Cheng Ying was dumbfounded. She was completely confused, and her face showed an expression of disbelief on the spot. Yes, it seemed to her that the time had already reached the fifth day of being trapped, but unexpectedly He Fei The answer was given only half an hour later! What's going on? If what the other party says is true, then what can I do...
At a loss, Cheng Ying thought of a question, and then asked in a suspicious tone: "By the way, why can you talk to me even though I can't see you, and the voice seems to be transmitted directly from the mind?"
Maybe this question is easy to answer. As soon as he finished speaking, He Fei's voice came: "Have you forgotten the special ability of the captain's exclusive ring?"
Huh?
Sure enough, after being reminded by the young man, Cheng Ying suddenly remembered something. She remembered that He Fei had personally introduced the ring to everyone on the Hell Train and introduced in detail the various functions of the captain's exclusive ring, including a magical function, that is, the captain You can use the exclusive ring to establish a spiritual link with any member of the team, so that you can communicate by phone. What is even more magical and even more powerful is that unlike ordinary mobile phones or communicators that must rely on signal transmission, the spiritual link is a spiritual communication, that is to say Communication using the exclusive ring will not be blocked by supernatural powers! ! !
Thinking of this, Cheng Ying understood, and she suddenly understood why the other party could still contact her even after the communication signal was completely blocked. It turned out to be a ring, a unique ability to use the spiritual link of Captain Li's exclusive ring.
The only regret is that the psychic link can only be used by the team leader, which means that the captain can actively contact the team members, but the team members cannot actively contact the team leader. Only when the team leader sends a message, the team members can reply.
Let’s get back to the topic, let’s not talk about the function of the exclusive ring for the moment. After learning about this shocking and strange incident from the professional killer, He Fei fell silent again, again silent, and the silence lasted for a long time. As for Cheng Ying, based on her attitude to the young man With her understanding, she guessed that the other party should be in a state of analytical thinking at the moment, thinking about her inexplicable trapping and the abnormal passage of time in the closed space.
So naturally, Cheng Ying chose to be quiet. She did not rush or worry. Even though she was almost dying of thirst and could not hold on any longer, she still gritted her teeth and endured it, because She knows, clearly knows...
The other party will save himself and will save himself at all costs, but he only needs to do one thing, and that is to persist, persist with all his strength, persist in living, and persist until the other party rescues him from this dead space!
You know me, I know you. When two people are familiar with each other and understand each other to a certain extent, then in many cases they don’t even need to meet. Silence alone is enough for the other person to understand everything.
Cheng Ying did not disturb He Fei, but just waited there, silently.
Time continues to pass.
After about five minutes, He Fei's voice came again and appeared directly in Cheng Ying's mind through the spiritual link:
"Well, based on your previous description and various speculations about Granny Qi not having the ability to physically attack, according to my guess, you should be suffering from some kind of hallucination, some kind of powerful hallucination that is superior to ordinary hallucinations. This kind of The hallucination is different from ordinary hallucinations, and the intensity of the interference completely surpasses the simple vision hallucination of the deserted woman, and even... is even scarier than Yamamura Sadako's real hallucination that can affect the five senses of human beings! It's even more real!"
"Yes, this is a hyper-real illusion that is several times more powerful than a real illusion. No, it is not an illusion. To this extent, it can no longer be called an illusion. Perhaps it is more appropriate to call it a 'phantom'." .”
After listening to the young man's words, Cheng Ying frowned. Even though her body was shaking, she still instinctively asked in confusion: "Huh? Illusion?"
He Fei continued: "Yes, illusion, a real falsehood that is completely above the illusion, a super-real sensory experience that creates falsehood to the extreme. In my personal words, this kind of falsehood can also be called The reason is..."
"True illusion!"
