Chapter 1616 Fear of Stillness
Most people with common sense will have an emotion called 'fear', which is a situation where people face certain situations that they judge to be dangerous, but they still A state of psychological activity that occurs when one is powerless. From a broad perspective, its core can be basically identified as a 'strong' and 'depressed' mood.
If the principle is more complicated, it is that 'fear will be born when the peripheral elements of a person's construction system rather than the core construction prove to be ineffective'.
To put it bluntly, it means ‘something scared you’.
The 'darkness' and the 'unknown' are both the two major carriers of the emotion of fear. The former is attached to the latter because there is a clear causal relationship between the two, and the things covered by the unknown are There are too many. To give a simple example, you suddenly see a handsome person with eight eyes, four hands, two mouths and the same It is a humanoid creature that possesses the primary sexual characteristics of both men and women. If you have never seen this thing before, you will instinctively be a little scared until you confirm the harmlessness of the other person, for example, he is just a human being. Vegetarians who are less civilized, have only 20% of the physical fitness of ordinary people, have a gentle temperament, and only need photosynthesis to survive.
In short, as the original 'unknown' is supplemented by various information, the fear in our hearts will gradually decrease, eventually disappear completely, and even turn into some kind of positive emotion.
By the way, the creature above does not exist. I just made it up completely, so please do not have any unrealistic fantasies, and do not try to trace its origin.
By the way, if you feel obviously depressed after reading the previous paragraph, I personally recommend that you consult a psychologist or surrender to the local public security bureau.
So let’s get back to the point. To sum up, fear is an emotion that normal people cannot abandon and has more negative effects than positive effects. It is true that fear may cause many people to explode in extreme situations and make All kinds of great achievements However, from an objective point of view, 'coward' is a derogatory term after all, while 'brave person' is just the opposite. Although being too brave may not be a good thing, to give a simple example, drunk people are often more They are usually much 'braver'.
Fear can cause a series of negative effects, the most obvious of which is physiological dysfunction, including but not limited to accelerated heartbeat, irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath, increased blood pressure, cold sweats, weakness of limbs, etc. These can affect our health and judgment.
And we all know that although Mo Tan is just 'a person', under the premise of being an atypical schizophrenia patient, we have to look at him from multiple perspectives.
Among them, Mo Tan under the chaotic neutral personality is not the 'majority' of people, so Tan Mo in [The Boundary of Innocence] almost never had the emotion of fear, such as the previous one named [Blood Resentment] The task of "Yingchuang" almost scared Yu Ying to death, but nothing happened to him.
It is worth mentioning that it is not that he does not have the function of 'fear', he just cannot be triggered by the 'condition' of fear by most things, just like a person who is afraid of spiders and a person who raises a lot of spiders. People are normal and have the ability to be afraid, but when a big spider suddenly appears, the former may be frightened to the point of screaming, but the latter happily wants to add one to his collection.
Tan Mo under the chaotic neutral personality is in such a situation. It is not that he has no ability to fear, but there are too few things that can make him afraid. In the final analysis, it is because he always has a feeling for the 'unknown' An abnormally positive attitude.
Then there is Mo Tan with an absolutely neutral personality. In this state, there is no need to go into details about him. He is just a normal person. You can directly use yourself as an analogy (provided that you think you belong to the mainstream in this regard) crowd), nine times out of ten it won’t be much different.
Finally, there is Mo Tan who is currently under the lawful good personality. As we know, he is very determined and possesses many excellent qualities including 'bravery'. Naturally, it is difficult for him to be dominated by fear.
But this does not mean that he is immune to fear. In fact, he will also be afraid of some things, just because his strong psychological quality will not be revealed. Here we can take Ji Xiaoge as an example. A change of concept, if you put a negative sign in front of this girl's appearance, then most people will be scared to death by her as soon as they meet her, and when she takes off her hair accessories, they may be scared to death, but If it were Mo Tan with a lawful good personality, it would probably be a matter of a twitch.
Because he can withstand Ji Xiaoge's "beauty" in terms of external grades, he can naturally also withstand the "ugliness" in terms of external factors. In fact, considering that his performance is obviously likely to It would cause harm to others. If that really happened, Mo Tan might even restrain his eyelids from twitching.
Is he really not afraid? No, of course he would be afraid, but his will was so strong that it could directly overwhelm most fears.
Presumably the Imperial Master of the State of Lu during the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhan Huo, the well-known Liu Xiahui, was a little confused when he held the girl in his arms. After all, he had a wife, but According to the content of the story, his strong willpower was enough to keep him motionless for the whole night, which is enough to show his strong willpower.
Mo Tan is basically in the same situation under his current personality.
As a result, Sha Po started from this angle, and suddenly pulled out Mo Tan's fear that would hardly be exposed at first.
Whether it is a dark environment, a hide-and-seek game, a loud timer, or a sudden light step, from the first second after Mo Tan enters this realm, the murderous spirit is always passing through. Various inducements and hints were used to pave the way for the fear in the heart of 'Brother Mo'.
Based on Mo Tan's current psychological quality, this behavior is actually quite difficult. After all, his psychological defense can even block Ji Xiaoge who took off his hairpin. Theoretically, he is close to the limit of human beings.
Not only that, Mo Tan can also take advantage of his identity as a player to look at the system panel during this process. If he is willing, he can even send messages to chat with others. It is hard to be scared no matter what he thinks. .
But even so, Sha Po still succeeded in inducing the fear hidden in Mo Tan's heart, and this was despite the fact that the latter had been relying on his subjective will to calm his mind.
To be honest, if Sha Po had not taken the initiative to express the above content after catching Mo Tan for the first time and briefly explained his purpose, the latter would not have even realized that he was afraid.
Not only that, Mo Tan also learned that the seemingly innocent and charming Killer Soul is not simple at all in terms of psychology. You must know that if you want to treat someone like Mo Tan who practiced hard to cure himself, If someone who has become a half master of psychology is brought into the ditch, Sha Po's attainments in related fields will only become stronger!
Regardless of the cause and effect, at least at this moment, the girl in front of him definitely has all the qualities of a top assassin.
"Helping Brother Mo overcome his fear is not my purpose, it is just a means to achieve the goal..."
The young and sweet voice of the girl rang in Mo Tan's ears. She chuckled and said, "As I said just now, calmness and tranquility are the most important, and only by being able to overcome and control fear in many situations, We can stay calm when we need it, whether it is psychological fear or physical fear."
Mo Tan nodded slightly and said seriously: "I understand"
"I just did. After considering many methods, I finally decided to choose the simplest and roughest dark environment. As for the reason for hiding here, hehe, most of it is because I want to play with you, Brother Mo. "
Darkness. The killing soul in the middle grabbed Mo Tan's arm and held it in his arms, and said with a smile: "To be honest, it is difficult to perform this method perfectly, and it will only be harder to overcome this method, but... I believe it Brother Mo must be able to do it, after all you found the turtle quickly."
Mo Tan also laughed and touched Sha Po Na with his free hand. Smooth hair: "It's all thanks to you."
"Yeah! It doesn't matter if you praise me more."
Sha Po shook his head in enjoyment and said cheerfully: "Anyway, we just need to play hide and seek today. As for How much you can get from it all depends on you, Brother Mo, perform well. If so, I'll change the theme next time."
Mo Tan hesitated: "But..." "It doesn't matter, I've said it before, because it's broken, so I don't care about Brother Mo. I can stay awake even after you leave this mountain, even after coming here for so long Brother Mo, don’t you think I will be lonely?”
As if he had seen through Mo Tan’s thoughts, Sha Po interrupted him directly and said in a very serious tone: “And Brother Mo, don’t forget, everyone is here to accompany me, so Even if [Everlasting Regret Thorn] remains as it is, I don’t mind at all! Well, that’s it, no matter what Brother Mo says, I don’t plan to teach you how to use [Eternal Regret Thorn] now. I want to Protect yourself well and don’t die casually.”
Mo Tan was silent for a moment. Considering that he still had the character of 'Tan Mo' that he could use to hone his corresponding skills, he didn't say anything more. He just nodded and said: "Okay, if you insist..."
"Yeah! Then let's continue quickly!"
Sha Po let go of Mo Tan's arm, it sounded like the original He jumped on the ground twice, and then said loudly and lively: "This time it's Brother Mo's turn to catch me! Hurry up and count down!"
"One."
Although it doesn't look like Sha Po squatted down and counted down while holding his head. Mo Tan didn't waste any time and immediately started counting: "Two...three...four..."
"I'm leaving!"
Sha Po suddenly hugged Mo Tan hard, and then ran away happily.
……
Thirty minutes later
“Got you.”
In the darkness, Mo Tan gently put his hand on Sha Po's shoulder and let out a long breath, even though he was not his 'body' at this moment, but in a certain consciousness space inside [Xiao]. , but still looked like he was sweating, and this proved two things.
First of all, this space is very wonderful, and the degree of simulation of various factors is no worse than [The Boundary of Innocence] or [the real world].
Secondly, Mo Tan's thirty minutes were not easy, it could even be said to be quite hard.
This is also true. You must know that in the previous ten rounds of hide-and-seek, Mo Tan was responsible for hiding all five times and was quietly caught by the murderer. However, in the five rounds when he was responsible for catching people, he was caught. Like a headless fly, he failed four times. Only the last time he succeeded was to catch the opponent at two minutes and fifty-three seconds.
And...
"Are you letting go?"
Raising his hand and losing the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, Mo Tan, who was obviously the one who arrested the person but was under tremendous pressure, smiled helplessly and stared in front of him. Where the girl is.
“Hey, hehe, after all, it’s boring to win all the time.”
Sha Po readily admitted the fact that he had cheated, and then he hugged Mo Tan’s arm and started shaking it. Akira: "But actually, I haven't given up too much. Brother Mo has made great progress, which has exceeded my expectations. He can practice breath masking and breath capturing to this extent in half an hour, and he has almost overcome physical and mental problems." The double fear is simply too powerful!"
Mo Tan, who really felt his progress, squatted down, held his murderous little face in his hands and smiled slightly: "This is all your credit, Whether you need it or not, I should thank you.”
"As long as Brother Mo can become stronger and live longer, that's all."
Sha Po rubbed his little face against Mo Tan's cheek affectionately, and then retreated to a place where Mo Tan couldn't touch him. He urged with a smile in the darkness: " Okay, okay, leave quickly. Isn't Brother Mo very nervous? Let's go all alone. It just allows me to recall the hide and seek just now. This kind of happy and happy thing should be remembered for the rest of my life. ”
Mo Tan took a deep breath, then stood up, nodded seriously and said: "Okay, then I'll leave first."
"Yeah!"
In The girl seemed to be looming in the perception and waved her hand. Then she suddenly coughed and reminded: "By the way, Brother Mo should be going to Ji Po's territory soon. He is not easy to get along with. It's best to stay a little longer." Be mentally prepared.”
Mo Tan nodded slightly and said with a wry smile: "I actually had a vague guess about this. Don't worry, I've been mentally prepared."
"That's good, I'll see you soon, Brother Mo~"
< br>"See you later."
After saying that, Mo Tan turned and left. Although the surrounding environment was still dark, he could vaguely feel where he was when he came, so he went directly to Walked right over.
Soon, he once again entered the chaos filled with a sense of nothingness, and the chain leading to the center appeared again above his head.
After a few minutes, the darkness faded away, and when Mo Tan returned to the center as if he had been reborn, he was not immersed in this feeling of being in another world. He just quickly began to adjust his body condition, and then he continued non-stop. Move on to the next area.
Exudes a strong aura of danger—the realm of Ji Po.
