He looked at the slimy, bloody pituitary gland that was held up to his eyes.
Xiong Hanzi's face was ashen.
He's not afraid of this stuff, but he really has a bad appetite! !
"Captain Lin, what do you mean they are so happy?"
He only knew that Captain Lin seemed to be looking for something special about these ascetics, but he really didn't understand what Lin An meant by that sentence.
Without answering Zhang Hanhan's question directly, Lin An put away his smile and asked him seriously:
"Xiong Hanzi, have you ever run a marathon?"
"What?"
Zhang Tie touched his head and shook his head suspiciously:
"No..."
"I'm tired enough just to move things around at work, so I don't have the energy to do that thing... I can't hold on even if I eat and run away."
He couldn't figure out why Captain Lin asked this inexplicably, so he could only look over helplessly.
"Well."
Lin An thought for a moment and placed the cut part of the pituitary gland on the table.
"Is such that."
"When the human body experiences pain or reaches its limit, it will naturally secrete a substance: endorphins."
"This substance can give people extremely strong excitement and pleasure effects, comparable to HEROIN."
"It feels incredibly good, even highly addictive."
"This is why so many people love extreme fitness, marathons and other self-destructive sports."
"In pain, the body naturally secretes endorphins to relieve the pain."
"Put it the other way around, in other words..."
Lin An pointed to the pituitary gland on the table, his eyes flashing:
"The ascetics in the secret world are not using pain to sharpen their faith and strengthen their will."
"They're enjoying the pain!"
“As we saw, they even laughed heartily while injuring themselves!”
A sneer.
Lin An looked outside the courtyard. In a trance, he seemed to be able to see through the walls the ascetics who were following the self-mutilation and the human beings enjoying the pain together.
"They have no will at all!"
"These guys are complete drug addicts!"
"obviously."
"With their abnormally developed pituitary gland, while they inflict self-mutilation, their pituitary gland secretes a large amount of endocannabinoids, thus prompting them to enjoy the pain."
“When the pleasure overshadows the suffering, everything makes sense.”
"Just like an addiction, they will continue to abuse themselves to gain happiness and strengthen their so-called beliefs."
"And because of the rules of this world, as if something can come true if they believe it, they gain transcendent power."
“So, New Age ascetics are not ascetics at all.”
"But indulge in bliss."
"This is why, if the ascetics of the old era did not understand this principle, they would instinctively think that they were crooked."
After discovering this problem, Lin An's previous conjecture was instantly established.
My heart felt relieved.
For the first time, he felt that solving the task was so smooth and almost only required verification.
Of course, this also benefited from the questions he asked Huang Shaohua before entering the secret realm.
Gene lock...what exactly is it?
Under the danger of death, open the genetic lock and gain strength.
This is so similar to the ascetics in the secret world.
Through this line of thinking, Lin An thought that there might be some connection between the two.
If the genetic lock is to explode the potential in the face of death, secreting a large amount of DMT and adrenaline.
Then the hard practice is to secrete a large amount of endocannabinoids, which makes people go crazy like a pervert.
The rules of the two worlds are different.
If the "faith" or obsession in this world is strong enough, it can borrow power from the future.
This is equivalent to opening a genetic lock.
After listening to his explanation, Zhang Tie couldn't help but open his mouth.
He had never thought about it from this perspective. He only thought that these people were perverts.
only.
"Captain Lin, that's not right."
"I understand what you mean."
"This group of new-age ascetics are actually drug addicts. The more they abuse, the happier they feel, and the happier they feel, the stronger they become."
"In fact, he has no belief at all, so he is like a madman."
"What happened to the ascetics of the old days?"
"I think they are really in pain... They are really slowly practicing asceticism, repeating the same thing for decades."
"This seems...different..."
Lin An smiled after hearing this and glanced at Zhang Tie approvingly.
Xiong Hanzi can think of this after listening to it, which is quite good.
"Yes, your question is correct."
"The ascetics of the old age did not "cultivate" entirely with the help of endocrine peptides, but DMT."
"Of course, I'm just guessing, and I haven't completely confirmed it."
"By going to the Beginning Place, we may be able to complete the last clue and completely solve the mystery of the ascetic's power."
"As for dmt..."
Lin An raised his eyebrows and said slowly:
'The so-called DMT is actually a similar substance to endocannabinoids. '
"I don't know if you have ever heard of near-death experiences, out-of-body experiences, or real-world practice and meditation..."
"These special things that existed before the end of time, before psychic energy existed, are actually real."
deep impression.
He remembered it clearly.
After the apocalypse broke out in the previous life, there was a spiritual awakener who relied on long-term meditation before the apocalypse to obtain the 13 points of spiritual attributes he had before becoming an awakened person after the apocalypse.
Comparable to a mental mutant, or simply that.
It's unbelievable, but it's actually not a method of cultivating immortality or an unscientific method.
"When a person dies, the brain will also secrete a large amount of DMT to ensure that the person is less painful when he is dying."
"Under the influence of this substance, human beings' five senses and the world in their eyes will be greatly distorted, and they will see, perceive, and experience spiritual feelings in an abnormal state."
"So religious people often say that they can be psychic..."
"It's just an illusion... Of course, maybe it's real."
"Similarly, in hypoxic suffocation, ultra-low temperature and heat loss, and even in a meditative state, DMT can be self-secreted and achieve a near-death experience."
"This is why there are so many monks in the real world, and religious believers can meditate and practice day after day."
"It's not that they can resist temptation, it's not that their beliefs are strong, it's not that they have perseverance that surpasses ordinary people."
"But... it feels good."
"Very cool."
"Meditation, practice, meditation, self-hypnosis. It really brings about experiences beyond cognition."
"To go a long way, breathing methods such as meditation, tantra, and Taoism are all based on the same principle."
"Huang Liang has a dream...becoming a god in hallucination..."
"They are forcing their bodies to secrete DMT, liberating the power consumption of the cerebral cortex, in order to obtain extraordinary experiences."
"People need "happiness" to persist."
"Similar to the ascetics of old times."
"They secrete a small amount of endocannabinoids and a large amount of DMT, and self-hypnotize themselves to get rid of the boredom of asceticism.
“Have faith.”
"In this way, we can comply with the rules of the secret realm and gain strength..."
After listening to what Lin An said, Xiong Hanzi was dazed and looked happy:
"Then Captain Lin, can we complete the mission!?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of roars suddenly came from outside the hospital.
"The whole city is on alert!"
"The blood corpses are coming!!"
"Go to war!"
"boom!!"
...
The flames shot into the sky, lighting up half the city.
High in the sky, hundreds of scarlet technological creations with strange shapes, like sea bats, fell from the sky.
