Chapter 200 Who Can Tell Whether the Illusion Is Real or Fake?

The dark underground cell, the dried dark red bloodstains, and the creepy chewing sounds coming from the dark from time to time.

"Surprised?" Chen Huan, who was naked and looked a little crazy, laughed, "I was clearly in the room of the restaurant, but suddenly I came to this place."

"Although you also know that everything in front of you is an illusion, can you tell it apart? Can you recognize which side is real?"

"Do you know? People are really ridiculous creatures. They always think they can observe everything in this world, but they don't know that this is just an illusion given to them by their own bodies."

"What the ears hear, what the eyes see, and what the nose smells... are just the feelings given to them by their fragile bodies, which are not the true nature of things at all. "The essence of the universe, and as long as you deceive this feeling, you can easily play with a person's emotions, heart and thoughts!"

"Others use false images to deceive others, but I disdain to do so. I prefer to use the five senses to distort a person's soul!"

"This is my way of illusion!"

"In simple terms, a person's emotions, memories, and even thoughts and personality all come from the information received from the outside world. Since information can shape a person, it can naturally destroy a person!"

Lin Chen gently continued what he said, and at the same time looked at Chen Huan with some surprise.

He didn't expect that his inner alchemy experiment could really select a terrifying illusion genius.

In Lin Chen's opinion, the illusions in the Lingnan Xiuxian world now feel more like tricks in the mortal world.

What using spiritual energy to create illusion projections to deceive others, or creating a huge illusion to make the enemy lose their minds and misjudge, not even killing a person, and in the end having to use spiritual weapons to make up for it, is simply laughable.

A true illusion master is not a waste who can only make up for the loss.

They are true soul manipulators, masters of manipulating the primordial spirit and the conscious spirit, who can easily distort people's five senses, change people's thoughts, make them spiritual slaves, and even give up their own lives.

To do this, they don't even need to start directly from memory, personality, and thoughts. Just through perception, they can tamper with other people's thoughts, distort other people's personalities, and even make their bodies and souls change according to their own wishes.

For example, a person who was locked in a cold storage by himself was hypnotized. Obviously, the switch of the cold storage was not turned on, but he was frozen to death the next morning.

Another example is to make people feel like they are in a flame. Obviously, there is nothing wrong with the body, but the perception of the primordial spirit fed back by the brain makes them misjudge themselves, affect the true qi, and the true qi transforms into flames, and the flames burn the body, which leads to spontaneous combustion of the human body!

Of course, these small means such as changing scenes and psychological hints to affect individuals are just basic illusions.

In Lin Chen's opinion, if they truly practiced the art of illusion to a terrifying level, they would not be limited to the use of spiritual energy, nor would they be trapped in the deception and deception of the five senses. Instead, they would truly grasp the changes in people's hearts and could easily manipulate the thoughts of an individual or even a civilization.

They could easily control the changes in people's hearts, starting with all evil qualities such as desire, laziness, greed, etc.

Use inflammatory words, language and wealth to change the thoughts and cognition of the people of a civilization, and distort the cognition, values ​​and worldview of each individual in a subtle way, lowering their expectations of kindness, justice and morality, and making them abandon humanity in one thing after another that destroys morality...

By that time, I'm afraid that even a little spiritual energy illusion method would not be needed, and it would be easy to make a civilization greedy for pleasure, not enterprising, greedy and violent, internally in conflict, and in the process of continuous self-destruction, heading towards true destruction...

And if you really have this ability, I'm afraid you must be a [Demon] at least.

Of course, this is not the most terrifying illusion. The most terrifying illusion lies in deceiving the world itself...

Lin Chen glanced at the surrounding environment, stopped thinking, and did not continue thinking.

"You are so right!" Beside him, Chen Huan seemed to have found a fellow traveler, dancing and saying, "I tried it with my father, and the feeling was so wonderful!"

"I blinded his perception in hearing, consciously filtered out all the words that were unfavorable to him, and interfered with his vision in the eyes, making him feel that everyone in the Chen family was bowing to him. I also distorted the touch of his skin, so that when he was enjoying himself with the maid, the excitement was magnified dozens of times..."

"Greed, desire, arrogance... Just like this, under the distortion again and again, his originally cautious, gloomy, and forbearing personality began to slowly change. Slowly changing, becoming extreme and tyrannical... In the end, he completely became another person, a person completely opposite to the previous one! "

"Hehehe, do you know how wonderful that feeling is? It's easy to play with a person's soul and even body in the palm of your hand. "

"I can see that the once powerful people are groveling in front of me, the chaste women become lewd young women, and the gloomy minds become arrogant and tyrannical. As long as I want, I can easily use the five senses to distort other people's thoughts and cognitions and become what I want. You can't imagine how wonderful that feeling is..."

"Use the method of inner elixir to sublimate the soul, thereby distorting the five senses of others, changing everything about others, and becoming the supreme master of others. This is my path! Compared with those idiots who get the magic but use it indiscriminately, I am the real one The peerless genius is the supreme emperor in this world!"

However, after hearing these words, Lin Chen did not have a look of surprise on his face. Instead, he fell into silence. After a while, he sighed softly.

"With such a talent, instead of exploring the nature of the world, chasing the eternal truth, and using the changes in illusion to try to reshape one's own personality and heart and explore the vast spiritual world, one would instead use it to torture people. On some boring little thing.”

"I thought you were a real candidate for the devil who can play with people's hearts. Now it seems that you are just a lunatic who can only infect others with madness and chaos. I thought I could find a like-minded person, but it turned out You really disappoint me."

Chen Huan's voice suddenly fell silent. In the dark basement, the sound of chewing became louder and louder, and dark red blood stains faintly oozed from the surrounding walls.

"Originally I thought I had found someone who could appreciate me, but now it seems that you are only worthy of being a plaything, but it doesn't matter. I also really want to see you kneeling on the ground like a dog!"

"At that time, I really want to see if you can still say such big words!"

As soon as the voice fell, the light in the entire basement became darker and darker, and the surrounding walls turned into squirming flesh. There were rustling sounds on the ground, densely packed with insects that looked like huge blood bubbles. I don't think the wailing is even more weird.

Around Lin Chen, countless crazy, bloody, cruel, and shocking darkness and terror appeared deep in people's hearts. Finally, Lin Chen's face changed drastically.

"That's it?!"

Lin Chen's tone was obviously surprised. He originally thought that the guy in front of him had said so much and was more or less capable, but this is the result? !

There are so many terrifying scenes, taking turns to be staged in front of me. I dare you to put them here and there. It turns out that the most powerful method is to show horror movies here?

Chen Huan was obviously more surprised than him, and his voice suddenly came, with a hint of madness and surprise, "How could you not be affected at all?!"

He originally wanted that kind of terrifying scene to completely destroy Lin Chen's psychological defense, but he never expected that this would be the result!

"Thanks to you, you did one thing after another and almost got me in. In the end, is this all you have?"

Playing scary scenes to scare people, defeating their psychological defenses, and thus exercising psychological control when the other party is at a loss, may be a sure-fire way for others.

But for Lin Chen, he had dissected the corpses of tens of thousands of species, used blood pools to create countless deformed monsters, extracted human souls and imprisoned them for research... The bloody and terrifying scenes shown by Chen Huan were not as good as his experiments. One tenth of it!

"Impossible! How could you not be affected at all?!" As if thinking of something, Chen Huan stared at Lin Chen, "I understand, you must have been subjected to inhuman torture since you were a child, that's why you have this Only with such a strong endurance can you ignore my illusion!"

"No, you are wrong. The essence of illusion is to deceive people's hearts and grasp the changes in people's hearts, rather than just using illusions to scare people." Lin Chen sighed lightly and continued.

"Forget it, although the main direction of my research is the essence of spiritual energy, I am not very proficient in illusions, the human heart is too complex, and it is not meaningful as the rules of the world, so I am not interested in studying it, but I should still play with you. That's enough."

"What do you want to do?!" Chen Huan seemed to be aware of the danger, the madness on his face froze, and he subconsciously took a step back.

Lin Chen didn't pay attention to his small movements, but pointed to his head and said to himself.

"Did you know? A person's self-understanding lies not only in the inherited memory in the mind, but also in the collection of concepts of information in the subconscious, that is, in the consciousness."

"The conceptual set of information includes weight, color, shape, etc., and everyone's perception of the same thing is different, just like everyone's perception of red and green, there will be large or small differences, so this This leads to individual deviations, coupled with inherited memories, and ultimately forms a person’s perception of himself.”

"But, if one day, your touch is another person's, your hearing is another person's, your taste is another person's... all your perceptions are another person's, then, who are you? "

"What do you mean by this?!" Chen Huan's expression changed and his body froze, sensing a terrible danger.

"Forget it, I'm not very good at preaching, so let's just start experimenting."

Lin Chen smiled lightly and didn't say anything. Instead, he stretched out a hand and gently pressed it on the wall made of flesh and blood.

"First...the sense of touch."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Huan felt a sticky and slippery feeling on his hands, as if he had touched flesh and blood, but there was clearly nothing in his hands!

"What, what happened? What did you do?!" Chen Huan's face changed drastically, and he frantically wanted to get rid of the non-existent thing in his hand, but the touch of flesh and blood was always there and he couldn't get rid of it at all!

"No, it's impossible. This is just an illusion. Don't even think about it..."

"Next is hearing." Lin Chen said lightly.

"Cheat me!" As soon as the words came out, Chen Huan froze in place, because he felt that the voice did not come from his mouth, but more like it came from the opposite side.

The other party moved his hearing to himself? !

"The second is vision."

The next moment, Chen Huan felt that the scene in front of him changed, his body appeared in front of him, and his hand pressed on the wall beside him.

At this moment, he seemed to have become Lin Chen, talking to Chen Huan in front of him!

"The next is voice."

The next moment, Chen Huan felt that his voice had completely become like Lin Chen!

'When all your perceptions do not belong to you, but to another person, then who are you? '

The words just now rang in Chen Huan's mind again. He seemed to understand something, and his expression suddenly became terrified.

"No, it's impossible. Don't think about turning me into you. I am Chen Huan. Even if you change my perception, you can't change my memory!" Chen Huan said angrily.

"Oh? Really?" A frivolous voice seemed to ring from his ear, "Then I want to ask, are you Chen Huan?"

"Don't try to deceive me, I am me!" Chen Huan shouted hoarsely.

"Really? Then think about it carefully, where did you eat at noon yesterday?"

"Of course I ate on the road!"

"Where on the road? Think about it carefully."

"Of course it was in the wilderness! I still remember clearly the scorching sun, the newly born grass and trees, the clean house, and when I was drinking tea in the room..." Chen Huan said without hesitation, but he was suddenly stunned.

I was eating in the wilderness, where was the house and the room?

"No, no!" Chen Huan's expression became more and more crazy, "You can't tamper with my memory!"

"I didn't tamper with your memory, I just reproduced your perception at that time, the scene you saw, the touch you felt, the smell you smelled... one by one."

"No, no, I don't have that perception anymore, you are deceiving me, I am Chen Huan, not Lin Chen, I am Chen Huan, not Lin Chen, don't try to deceive me, don't try to deceive me!" Chen Huan fell to the ground out of control, shouting like crazy.

Then, he seemed to think of something, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, and shouted desperately: "Yes, I still have memories of the past, and the memories of the past will not deceive me!"

"Really?" The voice in his ear seemed to smile even more.

"People's memories are always vague. Only at a certain moment in life, because of a certain event or an object, a strong perception is generated, so the memory is deep..."

"But if your past perception is someone else's, and the memory is vague, you can't use it to anchor the past, and the current perception is someone else's, then how can you be sure who you are?"

"Shut up, shut up!" Chen Huan knelt on the ground and screamed miserably, "Memory will not deceive me, absolutely not!"

"I remember everything in the past, I remember it completely!"

"A year ago, a year ago, yes! A year ago, I changed my damn father, that wonderful feeling, I still remember it to this day!"

" Three years ago, three years ago, I was abused in the basement. I will never forget the pain of being whipped by thorns! "

"Five years ago, I remembered five years ago. At that time, I was injured in my practice and found a family doctor for treatment. After the treatment was successful, the grateful eyes of the residents of the small town and the smile of the little girl made me feel indescribably comfortable! "

"Ten years ago, ten years ago, I came to this small town for the first time. It seemed that I had to wait for some reason. In order to reduce trouble in the future, I became a doctor. I still remember the scene I saw and the sunshine I felt at that time..."

The scene in the illusion disappeared, leaving only a peaceful scene in the inn and the wing room.

At this moment, a naked young man knelt on the ground, mumbling something, and beside him, Lin Chen, who was dressed in black and had a handsome face, looked at him quietly.

After an unknown amount of time, the young man on the ground seemed to have figured something out and shouted in surprise: "I know who I am!"

"Oh?" Lin Chen's mouth curled up slightly. His black windbreaker looked very mysterious and...creepy under the dim moonlight.

He walked over gently, lowered his head, and whispered in the naked boy's ear, "So, kid, tell me, who are you?"

"I am..." The boy raised his head, and the bronze mirror next to him clearly reflected the slightly crazy look on his face.

His mouth curled up in a strange arc, and he said word by word: "I am - Lin Chen!"
