Chapter 244 Cognitive Disasters
That day.
In the secret room.
After adjusting his own condition to the best, Xie Shen silently started to use the Butterfly Dream Technique.
At this moment, countless starlight spots transformed by human souls were constantly flashing in the entire secret room.
Xie Shen, surrounded by countless starry lights, looked at the ball that was closest to the center of the Milky Way and the most powerful force of the law.
After a long time of looking at this, he suddenly stretched out his right hand and pointed at the starlight.
Next second.
The starlight was infinitely amplified in front of Xie Shen until the entire world was swallowed up.
…
I don't know how long it has passed.
Half dreaming and half awake, Xie Shen felt an inexplicable heat, as if he was in the stove.
The strong discomfort made him instinctively open his eyes and look around.
——What caught his eye was a Western-style church with countless refugees.
There are several bonfires in this church, with clay pots and iron pots installed on them, and some unknown ingredients are being cooked.
There are also countless sleeping bags placed around these bonfires.
Obviously.
This Western-style church has become a survivor camp where countless refugees gather.
"Xiaoxia, are you awake?"
In the church.
Seeing Xie Shen awakening, a woman in a slightly ragged clothes hurriedly approached.
She squatted down and looked at Xie Shen very gently and said, "Baby, do you feel better?"
baby? ?
The moment he heard this title, Xie Shen hurriedly looked at his body inadvertently like a conditioned reflex.
After seeing this, he realized that the body he occupied during his time travel was a girl who was only thirteen or fourteen years old in a year.
This situation was somewhat unexpected to Xie Shenshen.
After all, when he traveled through time the previous few times, all the bodies he took over were teenage men.
So this time travel, he also preconceived that he would occupy the body of a young or adult male.
"Why don't you speak?"
Seeing Xie Shen remained silent, the woman, who was suspected to be the original mother of the shell, reached out and put her hand on Xie Shen's shoulder.
She reminded Xie Shen: "If you feel uncomfortable, you can do not speak."
"Just never sleep again."
"After all, when a person falls asleep, the body's self-regulation ability will decrease, and it is easy to be killed by heat."
Being killed by heat?
What's going on?
Since Xie Shen didn't know what the situation he was currently occupying was.
So out of caution, he first sank his mind into the sea of consciousness of the original owner of the body, and did not rush to talk to the woman.
By browsing the memory fragments in the sea of consciousness, we can see that:
The original owner of this body is Qixia. Since I can remember, he has been living in this Church of the Virgin Mary with his parents.
As for why you live in a church.
Due to some unknown reasons, some cognitive disasters often appear on this planet that are difficult for ordinary people to understand.
Just like this, the 'cognitive heat wave' that is torturing everyone present.
——The so-called cognitive heat wave refers to a kind of "hot air" that does not exist in the material world and will only affect human beings from the spiritual level.
These ‘hot gases’ will not cause any substantial increase in temperature, and at the same time, it cannot change the degree on the thermometer.
Its function is simply to make humans feel hot.
Extreme heat.
In addition to cognitive heat waves, cognitive cold waves often appear on this planet, which make humans feel extremely cold at the spiritual level.
Same as ‘hot air’.
What the cognitive cold wave brings is the extremely cold "cold air".
The original owner Qi Xia once heard his father mention it:
Cognitive disasters suddenly appeared on this planet about 2,000 years ago, or around 4,000 AD.
After the emergence of self-cognitive disasters, humans who died in cold waves and heat waves have long known countless times.
As more and more humans die from disasters.
Soon someone discovered that the statues in the church that were prayed and worshipped had the effect of resisting cognitive disasters.
Except for the church.
It is like a temple dedicated to Buddha statues and a temple dedicated to god statues. These religious places can provide shelter for people in the event of disasters.
So over time, places like churches and temples gradually developed into today's human settlements.
…
In the church.
After learning about the probabilities on this planet through the memory fragments of the original owner of the body, Xie Shenzhong responded to the original owner's mother.
"I'm fine, I'm just a little dizzy."
"It's fine if it's okay." Seeing that Xie Shen was safe and sound, Qi Xia's mother couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
She chose a more comfortable position and sat cross-legged beside Xie Shen and chatted with her.
"This evening, a heat wave suddenly came outside."
"Then our statue of Our Lady broke at this moment."
"This caused the heat wave to rush directly into our church."
"Because the temperature is too high, many people fainted from heatstroke due to this heat wave."
"There are even those who are killed by the heat."
The mother looked at Xie Shen with lingering fear and said, "But it's okay, you're fine."
"When you were just unconscious, I was almost scared of my soul."
Hearing this, Xie Shen had already realized something in his heart: it seems that the original owner is most likely because of his weak constitution and very young age, so he was unable to withstand the heat wave just now and was directly heated to death in a coma.
So he gave Xie Shen an opportunity to take advantage of it and took advantage of the situation to occupy his body.
Perhaps in order to keep Xie Shen awake, his mother kept talking nonsense.
"Anyway, as long as you can wake up."
"Your dad and the others in the church are already trying hard to repair the statue of the Virgin."
"I guess I can repair the statue before dawn."
"When the temperature in the church will return to normal again."
By the bonfire.
After hearing what his mother said, Xie Shen subconsciously looked at the statue of the Virgin Mary.
Can see:
At this moment, countless people were kneeling beside the statue. They either clasped their hands together and prayed devoutly, or kowtowed to them and kept worshiping.
This scene made Xie Shen confused: "Didn't you say you want to repair the statue? Why are they all worshiping the statue?"
The mother explained: "That is to repair the statue. The more people worship and pray, and the more pious they are, the faster the statue will be repaired."
Is there any such operation?
In order to figure out how the statue works, Xie Shen decisively released his spiritual consciousness in his body and poked towards the statue of the Virgin Mary.
Under the exploration of the divine consciousness, Xie Shen discovered that although the statue of the Virgin Mary looked ordinary on the surface, it seemed like it was just a work of art carved from marble.
But in fact, the structure inside the statue is extremely complex, with many mechanical parts and circuit boards.
Obviously.
This statue of the Virgin Mary is a product created by combining high technology and extraordinary power.
Those who can build these statues must have a great background.
Xie Shen is a monk.
He knew nothing about the creation on the technological side, and no matter how carefully he saw it, he could not see its tricks.
Curious in his heart, Xie Shen asked his mother again, "So how did statues like this be built?"
"How could I know this?" The mother replied with a smile: "The statues like these placed in churches and temples are probably hundreds or even thousands of years old. They are so old, and it is probably few people can tell them clearly now."
What a pity.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Since he could not find out the origin of the statue, Xie Shen turned to focus on the cognitive heat wave.
He first used his spiritual sense to directly block out the five senses of the current body.
But even so, Xie Shen could clearly feel the ubiquitous heat.
——This shows that the so-called cognitive heat wave does directly act on the spiritual level of the human being, not the physical body.
As for how this heat wave was created.
Based on the experience accumulated in the past, the first thing that Xie Shen thought of was the indescribable creatures on the planet.
In his opinion, this heat wave is likely to be pollution scattered by indescribable creatures.
However, no matter how Xie Shen used his spiritual sense to explore, he could never feel the breath of an indescribable creature from the heat wave.
This is strange.
After a long time of thinking, Xie Shen decided not to think about these things for the time being.
Everything is important to understand and absorb the power of the law.
This is his real purpose on this planet
…
That night.
Xie Shen sat cross-legged on the sleeping bag.
He resisted the scorching and torture brought by the cognitive heat wave, forcibly calmed himself down, and silently started the "Fanli Zhenjie" technique.
Xie Shen practiced hard all night.
Until a light suddenly appeared outside the church and the sky was about to be bright, a loud roar suddenly came into Xie Shen's ears.
After hearing the movement, Xie Shen hurriedly took out a pill from the storage bag he carried on his body and stuffed it into his mouth.
After the pill turned into magic power in his body, Xie Shen hurriedly activated the trace of magic power and blessed him in his eyes.
Following the explosion, he looked around in the darkness, and his eyes soon locked on the statue of the Virgin not far away.
Can see:
The statue of the Virgin Mary, who was prayed and worshipped by countless people all night, inexplicably burst out from inside and fell down in response.
The loud noise quickly woke up the survivors in the church who were closing their eyes and pretending to sleep.
So someone immediately shouted, "What sound? Did something explode?"
"It's a statue!"
After discovering that the statue of the Virgin Mary exploded, the person who was close to the statue screamed and said, "It's over, it's over."
"This statue will not explode early or late, but it just happened to be in the morning, and the temperature will explode when it is about to rise."
"We can't even get out of here if we want to."
"What should we do now?" Someone shouted again: "When the statue was not exploded, we could barely hold on to the temperature in the church when we gritted our teeth."
"But now the statue is blown up and gone!"
"It probably won't take long before the church will heat up to 70 or even 80 degrees!"
"All of us will be dying of heat by then!"
It seems to be to confirm what this person said.
In the darkness.
Xie Shen, who was sitting cross-legged on the sleeping bag, could clearly feel with the blessing of his spiritual sense that the temperature around him was rising little by little.
Because of this temperature change, it acts directly on the spiritual level of the human being, not on the physical body.
Therefore, even if Xie Shen used elixirs to force the strength of his current body to the Qi refining and even the foundation-building stage, it would be useless.
The change in temperature is like the countdown to death.
Once a certain critical value is reached, including the body controlled by Xie Shen, everyone present will definitely be killed by heat.
In desperation, Xie Shen stopped pretending.
He put his hand on the heart of the body and took it out directly from it, the storage bag he carried with him.
Xie Shen took out the combat power detector from the storage bag and hung it on his left eye.
He ignored the shocked gaze of the passers-by around him and the original mother of the owner, and spoke directly at Li Xiu.
"You should be able to see the statue parts scattered on the ground, right?"
"Those are parts of the statue of the Virgin."
"The statue is suspected to have the ability to control the perception of surrounding humans."
"Then I need your help to fix the statue now, or use those parts to piece together a similar alternative on site."
"Can you do it?"
Inside the combat power detector.
After a brief silence, Li Xiu said calmly, "If I guess correctly, this statue of the Holy Virgin should be used to control the body temperature of a person, right?"
As he said that, he quickly added.
"The temperature I am talking about here is not the physical temperature in reality."
"It's the temperature on the subjective perception of human beings, on the spiritual level."
"Not bad!" Xie Shen said quickly, "Can you fix this thing?"
"Or it is possible to use the parts scattered on the ground to find some alternative solutions?"
"It's OK," Li Xiu replied calmly: "The question is, how much time do you have left at the moment?"
Xie Shen closed his eyes and thought for a moment.
He replied, "There is probably less than an hour left. How about it? Is it too late?"
"Time is too hasty." Li Xiu's answer was concise and clear: "If I take the statue part to my laboratory, I am sure that I can completely restore it to its original state in one day."
"If it's just me commanding remotely, you will operate with others around you."
"It will take about ten days and half a month to restore the statue."
Li Xiu explained: "This statue is very interesting."
"Although it is composed of countless mechanical parts, it looks like a product of science and technology civilization."
"But in fact, it is to absorb the power of human faith to power itself."
"So from the perspective of the source of energy, it can be regarded as a product of civilization on the side of cultivation."
"Even."
Li Xiu continued: "Since it can directly utilize human emotional power, from a certain perspective, it can even be regarded as a pocket-sized version of an indescribable creature."
