We're stuck on the third floor, and now we can't go back to the stairs we came down, and the rooms and hallways seem to be infinitely duplicated. We couldn't find the people who were supposed to be in this place, and we didn't feel their existence. However, this feeling that everyone else has disappeared into the world except for his own group is full of depression. Fear is like when the tide is high, when the water is not slow, but in fact it quickly floods the beach. We try to give an explanation for this environment, but what if there is an explanation? Just because you can find a convincing argument doesn't mean you can get out of it.

I've seen too many of these situations, and I can perceive the presence of another messenger through guò patterns. The sense of presence of this messenger of the magic pattern is so abrupt in the current environment that I have to connect this person with the current situation.

Did she, or he, or it, do it? If the answer is yes, then, what is the immediate goal of the other side? Did I and these psychologists deliberately target me, or did we just hurt the fish in the pond? These questions, in my mind, set a fairly clear benchmark, so that there is no tension in my heart.

If the other person is not directly targeting us, then when what he is doing and preparing to do, achieve or fail, our predicament will naturally be lifted. Even if it was a Demon Pattern Messenger, it was impossible to maintain such a temporary hedge space for a long time. Perhaps he uses more than just his own strength, however, whether he accomplishes or fails to accomplish his goal, there must be a limited time limit.

I'm fairly sure that this time limit will not exceed an hour in the normal flow of time, otherwise, he will face stronger and stronger resistance. At the heart of the seminar were the people of the Doomsday Shinrikyo cult. However, this Doomsday Shinrikyo has not yet fully grown into the Doomsday Shinrikyo of the doomsday illusion that I know, and there is also NOG, or Cyberball, which is also watching the progress here. This kind of thing is happening now, no matter what explanation is given. None of them can be tacitly acquiesced.

We're not completely passive, and these psychologists may have thought about it, but they don't have a deep understanding of it – they don't have too much confidence in how quickly and vigorously they can respond to the seminar. According to normal thinking, they will of course feel that the seminar needs to determine the situation and then determine whether to contact the local police and ask for help.

And it seems to me. Seminars don't do that at all. The inside story of this seminar is that no normal government agency is allowed to get involved.

Once the situation has been determined, the preparation, response and measures of the workshop will be tougher and faster than these psychologists believe.

We are trying to save ourselves, but this is only based on the judgment that the enemy will try to destroy everyone before help arrives. And I don't see a sign that the person who created this mystery will kill everyone.

Suppose the enemy's target is not a specific person. Well, we are in the eyes of the other side. It doesn't seem special. And our situation at this time can also be inferred as. What happened to the other experts who entered this level.

The most dangerous situation at this time is not whether there will be any monsters and traps that suddenly attack us, but that there is a kind of negativity that pervades us all the time, which is a poison that grows in the human heart and that accumulates over time, a sense of helplessness, and a fear of the unknown. And there is a mysterious force that is speeding up this process.

Our enemies are not specific things for the time being, but only ourselves.

Leaving the fourth floor, it is precisely because those people were attacked by shadow tumors. The fate of the wounded is accelerating the deepening of this negative situation, and there is a risk that it will get out of control. When I realized this, I didn't want to hurt them just because they lost their minds in a difficult situation. Fitness instructors, soothsayers, and Mitsukasuo probably felt that he and others couldn't handle such a large number of people.

The situation on the fourth level is extremely bad for anyone who wants to avoid the kind of cannibalism that might arise.

However, what will happen when you come to the third layer, no one can be sure. And it can only be said that the current situation, although weird, is still acceptable.

Although "I can't find the exit and the way I came", that's all.

The constant talk of the fitness trainer, the soothsayer, and Mitsukasuo forced me to open my mouth and adjust my mind through imaginations, explanations, and small talk that had no effect on changing my surroundings. During this period of time, they talked almost three times as much as usual, and even if they took a temporary break, they would not stop looking for topics.

Literary, funny, esoteric, and without depth...... It's good to talk about anything, as long as someone brings it up, someone will definitely pick it up. In this process, there is no room for cold atmosphere at all - I think that these three people are really amazing to be able to do this kind of thing.

At the very least, they have a clear understanding of the nature of the difficulties they are currently facing, and how to adjust themselves. I thought that Mitsukasuka would pull back a little, but in fact, although what he did was not special, it could be said that it was not lost, and compared with his previous appearance, it really made people see his advantages.

Fitness trainers believe that what we're experiencing is just that we're doing the same hallucination -- interacting in the hallucination. But in fact, I think they also understand that this kind of conjecture is actually quite unscientific in their own opinion. Their conjectures, however, fit well with what Dr. Nguyen Le said about Claudia White. Because the interactive hallucinatory experience is exactly what Dr. Ruan Li and others have observed, the profound impact of Claudia White on human beings.

The essence of the actions of all people affected by Claudia White is to react to the situation in the hallucination, not to the reality. And their behavior, which happens to be in line with the reality, does not prove at all that they are not affected by hallucinations - this is the conclusion of Dr. Nguyen Li's current investigation and conclusion of the influence of Claudia White.

As a result, it can be tricky to distinguish between those who are not affected and those who are. It is actually difficult for the affected people themselves to tell where they are. And when, and what kind of hallucinations. The inability to distinguish between hallucinations and reality is revealed when certain behavioral tests are performed.

These situations are related to the "hallucination theory" currently conjectured by fitness coaches and others. And, I think. Dr. Nguyen Li's attitude and opinion during the mysterious events at the rest point were an important source of their thoughts. Fitness trainers, soothsayers and Mitsukasukao were ostensibly hesitant to explain Dr. Nguyen's account of a series of mysterious events, but in their minds, they had an extraordinary impression of such an explanation.

Did Dr. Nguyen Le use psychology and hypnosis to deepen the weight of his words when he spoke to them? I think that there is such a possibility, and I personally prefer it. Dr. Nguyen Le has turned this way of dialogue into his own instinct.

We have stopped moving on, and I cannot give them my explanation, because, even if they are made aware of the mystery, it does not change their situation, and I think it is more than their current hallucinations. "Mystery" is even more dangerous. Once they come into contact with the mystery and recognize the mystery. His life will inevitably be the same as mine, deep in mystery that has no reason at all.

I judge that for the three of them, even if they are in such a strange world, it is not so much to recognize the "mystery" at this time. It is the recognition of a kind of "magic". Magic is just a trick to trick the eyes, it seems to be mysterious, but to put it bluntly, it will make people feel that it is nothing more than that. But because I can't see through the trick, so. is unable to make the right response, and is forced to become an audience and be mobilized. The "hallucination theory" of fitness coaches should also be influenced by this direction of thinking.

When I wasn't asked about it, I was always silent. I'm used to observing other people, but it's not because every time I observe, every time I guess about the mental activity of those people, I get a correct result. It's an almost instinctive habit, and even though I know that my guess may be wrong, it always makes me feel that I'm in a seemingly passive world, but in fact I can respond to any accident. At the very least, such a psychology can reduce the pressure on the scene of the incident.

We stayed in an uncharacteristically uncharacteristic office, and there was no particular reason why we had to choose this place.

We worked at the desk, deliberately making a loud noise, but we didn't feel anything alarmed.

We each took a chair and gathered around the room to simply rest and talk.

"Everything we encounter is actually ulterior, it's all about letting us see what they want us to see, so that they can show what they want us to see." As if reciting a poem, Mitsukasu said: "They lead us like a toddler, every time we fall, it is for the next time we get up and move forward." So, they started to grow, and they started to make us unpredictable where they might be. ”

"What do you think of yourself?" The soothsayer asked.

"Ah...... Sort of. Mitsui Tsukao was a little embarrassed, "However, thinking about the other party a little bit more can indeed lead us to hypnosis." Although we all call ourselves experts, we are not necessarily healthier and stronger than ordinary people on a psychological level. I'm familiar with theory, but whether or not I can make the most of what I know is where the gap between us and the real experts lies. In this way, isn't it more acceptable for us to be guided by a psychological master before we know it? ”

"Not at all." The fitness instructor immediately denied it, which made Mitsukasu a little sneering, and she said, "It's still medicine." The medicine in the hands of the prisoners is too strong, and here is the difference between us. With that, she looked at me. I knew she was looking at a sample of "Paradise" in my arms.

"Without the help of medication, I think it would be very difficult to get out." Again, she stressed.

It seems reasonable for her to say this, but I prefer that the current is not an illusion, but a temporary hedging space. Of course, even the hallucinatory statement could explain why I couldn't find the Demonic Emissary, but I could feel that he was around.

"If the people who came down before were hallucinated, then what kind of place were they in? Are we in the same place as them? Such feelings, if they are hallucinations. That's really scary, because we can't even be sure of our real situation, isn't it? So said the soothsayer.

In fact, the situation she described was much the same as the situation I am facing today. Dr. Nguyen Le regarded me as a mentally ill person precisely because. I'm hallucinating that I can't even perceive "my true situation". Personally, I can't think so.

After that, we made several more guesses, but none of them were stronger than the "hallucinatory theory" in terms of continuity of explanation and causality. And even if the current situation is just because we are unconsciously guided by hypnosis and have "hallucinations". It is also impossible to find a way to get rid of the "illusion" on its own. According to the theory of psychology, people with strong hearts can try to guide themselves, similar to "meditation" in the occult, to dig deep into their subconscious, but this is actually extremely dangerous, and most people cannot succeed, even if they succeed professionals. It may also lead to further psychiatric trauma.

In my opinion, this theory. It is the source of the scientific explanation of "consciousness walking", but "consciousness walking" clearly has a broader meaning and power because it is a concept in the occult category. And the true consciousness walker should not fall into the "illusion". I'm not really a consciousness walker though. But when I tried to use the power of conscious walking, I didn't create the illusion that this was a conscious level.

"Maybe it would be better if a clearer enemy appeared?" Mitsukasuo said this boringly.

But the next moment, we heard a very clear barking of dogs and the screams of humans.

The new situation suddenly lifted our spirits in the office, though. The combination of those voices paints a bleak picture, someone being actively attacked, and it is also a new and worrying situation, but compared to this not-so-good information, being able to detect the existence of other people is overwhelmingly good news.

We're not the only ones here, and although we haven't found anyone else before, we may have been separated by this labyrinthine environment.

Or, in other words, in hallucination, our perception of each other is blocked.

And now, for whatever reason, we hear the extra movement, and how ominous the meaning behind it, cannot hide the fact that some kind of restriction has been lifted.

And the lifting of this restriction may be interpreted as a compulsion for the enemy to take further action.

"Finally there's movement." The trainer's tone relaxed, and it was clear that she had some of the same thoughts as me.

"Actually, excluding the weirdness of the third layer suddenly becoming a maze, the situation we have to face is no different from the situation of robbers robbing banks." Mitsukasuo said calmly: "Under the control of the robbers, everyone must stay in the bank, because these robbers close and guard the gate, and anyone who wants to go out from the main gate will be attacked at the first opportunity. But not all of the innocent people in the bank were accused by the robbers. Some people, restrained and injured by the robbers, but others, escaped from the core of the scene by mistake and can try to save themselves, but it is more likely that they will try to avoid the robbers while waiting for the rescue of the police. And this waiting time is often not very long. And after the arrival of the police, the hostages will also face the most dangerous situation, and no one knows whether the robbers will kill the hostages for some reason. And those who escaped the center of the scene and hid elsewhere, in order to maintain their own safety, of course, will not do more to avoid exposing themselves. ”

"The robbers robbed the money, if they were not caught by the police, they fled, the hostages are just a prop they prepared in order to successfully escape, maybe the identity of the hostages also has a certain meaning, but the robbers will not, and it is impossible to deliberately investigate their identities, otherwise, it can be determined that in fact, their main target is a specific hostage." The soothsayer continued: "But in any case, the robbers will not, and cannot stay in the bank forever, to maintain a kidnapping situation. ”

Saying this, although the screams of the human beings were still ringing, until the sound gradually faded, everyone did not make any further movements.

"Our choice seems somewhat cruel." The fitness trainer said suddenly.

"We're like people who escaped the center of the incident and didn't get out of the bank." The soothsayer said with an unchanging face, "And I think that I am powerless to stop the criminals from committing murder, and if I am negligent, I will even take advantage of it." ”

"Should the practice of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages be morally condemned?" Mitsukazuka's expression was a little hesitant and regretful, but he didn't look like he was about to move, was he feeling guilty about his choice? I can't judge, however, I feel, that he doesn't think his choice is wrong. And I, of course, have no position to condemn him.

Because, I didn't move either.

Although my starting point for this judgment is somewhat different from theirs, the result is the same.

None of us are heroes at this moment.

The barking and noise of the dogs approached us little by little, but soon turned to the other side, and then moved farther and farther away from us. There seems to be more than one victim, and they were not completely killed in a short period of time. As for whether the murderer was a human or a canine, it is impossible to judge for the time being. I feel that there is an insurmountable distance between us and those who are suffering. And this distance is the secret of not being able to see other people, and it is also the secret of this infinite mirror labyrinth.

"Distance?" My self-talk was heard by Mitsukasuka. He thought I was talking to him, so he asked me, "What distance?" ”

I briefly explained in a more normal way: "There is a distance between me and those people, and between me and the murderer, so that we will not be disturbed and will not be able to contact them." ”

"Interesting words." The fitness trainer nodded and said, "Very vividly described." Let's not forget our original intention, why are we here? It's not to save people, but to be with others, it's just out of human sociality, a subconscious code of conduct. However, following social action does not mean the right action. The meaning of moral norms is to maintain the relationship between people and the normal development of society, and its meaning is limited to that. This is my personal opinion, and I don't know if you can accept it, but it will be easier to think about it this way. ”

"It's a very general idea." The soothsayer said: "I cannot agree or disagree with such an idea, because it is so banal and completely devoid of bright spots." Although ordinary people can't say it so clearly, they will also express it in action. If you follow this concept, you are just an ordinary person. To be honest, I was a little disappointed. ”

"Don't say that, you can be tactful." The fitness instructor laughed.

Mitsui Tsukao breathed a sigh of relief on the side, and his inconsistent demeanor finally calmed down. The conversation between the two women seemed to make him feel a lot more at ease about his choice.

At the same time, I was perceiving the existence of the messenger of the magic pattern.

As I said before, if the enemy's target is us, no matter where we are, they will take the initiative to find it, and it is impossible for us to have a peaceful time. And if the goal is not a specific person, then as long as the goal is achieved or failed, our situation will return to normal.

The real danger is that the enemy does not discriminately and does not care for any reason, and ends up killing everyone. But even then, they will appear to us on their own.

Now, the emissaries of the Demonic Pattern who are supposed to be related to the current state of affairs have no sign of approaching in my Demonic Pattern Perception, and none of the actual dangers that can be perceived at the moment have directly come into contact with us. All of these circumstances further proved my suspicions.

We are not the direct target of the enemy.

And this emissary who seems to be an enemy has a level of magic crest below me. And assuming that the opponent's magic pattern super ability is level three, it is very likely that maintaining the current special temporary number jù hedging space is not only its own strength, but also some small tricks in the use of super skills.

However, no matter which reason, or a combination of the two, can prove that it is a good player in itself, and behind it, there are strong enough forces to support it. (To be continued......)
