Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 762
Chapter 762: Mental Virus
The spirit magnetic environment of another world was a hundred times more complicated than Earth’s.
The cosmic radiation, planet magnetic field, and even the life magnetic field of carbon-based organisms, including the brainwaves of intelligent life, were a hundred times stronger than Earth’s.
Whether it was extraordinary individuals or monsters with special brain tissues, they were more likely to excite their own brainwaves and form a “mental attack.”
The “spiritual attack” was a double-edged sword.
A superhuman who gazed at the abyss for a long time was also gazed at by the abyss in return.
A superhuman who was good at using spiritual attacks was also easier for the enemy to lock onto, crack, and hack into their own brain ports to implant all kinds of information.
Just like how fear was contagious.
When the brainwaves of countless people were triggered and resonated, the specific information implanted could also spread like a virus video.
To put it simply, let’s say that Lu Siya was the first to be attacked by the enemy’s mind. The information about Peach Blossom Town was implanted in her brain, and she would use her own memory to enrich the information.
Then, the brainwaves that she sent out would most likely help the enemy and implant the information about Peach Blossom Town into the minds of other members of the exploration team.
The exploration team members often believed each other without a doubt.
Such indirect communication was much easier to break through the defense line of the human brain than a direct spiritual attack, resulting in an upgraded version of mass hysteria.
Therefore, all the survivors of the exploration teams are most likely trapped in a corner of the space where they are faced with the primeval forest and unable to extricate themselves from it
Meng Chao could not help but comment, “It is even possible that we are like the scholars in folk tales who, under the temptation of the beauties, come to a splendid mansion and see the owner in luxurious clothes, taste the delicacies such as dragon liver and phoenix marrow, and then have a good sleep in a room with carved beams.
“The next morning, when we woke up in the cold wind, we found ourselves lying in a desolate grave with rotten bones under our heads and half a broken bowl beside us. In the bowl were the leftover centipedes and toads. was the so-called fortuitous encounter just a trick of the fox god?”
“It is indeed possible.”
Lu Siya nodded. “It is not impossible to find a scientific and reasonable explanation for the absurd folktales. Just like the ‘ghost hitting a wall’ was actually lost in the folds of space, the legend of ‘the scholar meeting the ghost’ could also be a spiritual attack launched by a carbon-based creature.
“Perhaps, there is indeed a Peach Blossom Town that crossed over to the other world with Dragon City, but it is in ruins, full of devastation, covered in desolate graves, and full of suffering.
“It’s just that our retinas and central nerves have been disturbed and we can’t see the truth clearly
“If that’s true, what’s its purpose?” Meng Chao asked.
“If the spiritual attack of the monster’s main brain is so powerful that it can trap hundreds of human explorers in the same illusion at one time, why doesn’t it just kill us directly but play such a boring… Harvest Ritual trick?”
“It can’t kill us, otherwise.”
Over the past few days, Lu Siya had long considered such a problem.
She immediately said, “Even if the monster’s main brain has mastered the ability to create illusions at will, this ability must be limited by certain rules, and it’s also very easy to find a way to crack it. Otherwise, during the Lair battle, the monster’s main brain can follow the mutated beast ‘swirl’ and kill its way into the main city of Dragon City, taking advantage of the chaos in the nest city to make hundreds of thousands of people fall into a nightmare.
“I reckon that the mind attack ability of the monster mastermind also has its limits. It can’t completely hijack our retinas and central nerves, nor can it completely control our free will. It has no choice but to use all kinds of hints and fake clues to make us imagine a paradise and deceive ourselves
“This is why the main brain of the monster allowed the explorers of the man-eating pomfret team to spread the news that there is a city in the depths of the sinkhole to the outside world.”
Meng Chao seemed to be deep in thought as he added, “Humans are the race that are best at imagining things. When the information ‘there is a city in the depths of the sinkhole’ is implanted into our brains, our rich imagination will cause it to ferment on its own and gradually turn into the beautiful ‘Peach Blossom Town.’ The monster mastermind only needs to add some details at the most critical point to push Peach Blossom Town in the direction it wants to develop.”
“Yes, the possibility is very high. After all, more than a dozen exploration teams have gathered hundreds of strong-willed experts. Among them, there are many senior superhuman teams in the Heaven Realm. Unless we lie to ourselves, the monster mainframe will never drag us into the illusion.”
“But the biggest problem with lying to ourselves is that it can’t make us do things that go against our instincts in the illusion. For example, it can make us kill each other or even ourselves in the illusion.”
“That makes sense.”
Meng Chao was refreshed, “In other words, we are the creators of the ‘illusionary city’ just like the main brain of the monsters. Although most of the rules of the game in the city are set by it, we are not fish on the chopping board and can’t fight back at all!
“However, is it possible that it can use the illusionary land to delay us and summon a large number of monsters to kill our bodies directly in the real world
“I’ve thought about that, too, but the possibility is not high.”
Lu Siya said, “When superhumans reach Heaven Realm, their bodies of flesh and blood are not only as tough as steel, but their subconsciousness is also extremely powerful. They can maintain a high level of vigilance even in their dreams.
“Even if we are trapped in the illusion, if a monster approaches and releases its killing intent at us, some of us who have extremely sharp senses will definitely wake up from the illusion.”
“For example, a ‘sensitive person’ like you, Sister Ya,” Meng Chao added.
“That’s right.”
Lu Siya nodded slightly and said confidently, “Since I’ve seen through the flaws in this world and I have to go all out, I feel confident that I can wake up and break the illusion by force at any time.
“However, there’s no need for that at the moment. We might as well wait and see what the main brain of the monster is up to.
“Don’t forget that the illusion in front of us is the product of everyone’s brainwave resonance. As long as a few members of the exploration team wake up, there’s a high possibility of triggering a chain reaction that will wake everyone up at the same time.
“The monster mastermind took great pains to set up this trap. It was not easy to lure so many explorers into Peach Blossom Town. I think that unless it’s absolutely necessary, it won’t make such a move and try to eliminate us from the physical level.
“After all, we are only the vanguard. Even if we kill all the exploration teams, it won’t change the ending of the monster civilization!”
That was true.
More than 70% of the data about the topography and the crystal veins of the Hidden Mist Domain had been transmitted to the outside world.
The decisive army, which gathered almost all the Deity Realm experts and the torrent of steel in Dragon City, was also gathering at the periphery of the Hidden Mist Domain and taking shape day by day…
Even if the vanguard troops were completely annihilated.
Moreover, Peach Blossom town really existed, and the maniacal monster mastermind had used thirty to fifty thousand human beings as meat shields.
It was impossible to delay the total attack time by even half a second.
The doomsday bell for the monster civilization had already reached the last lap, and the countdown of the ticking clock had begun.
If the monster mastermind really had intelligence that was superior to that of human beings, it should have been very clear and rational to realize that killing the exploration team was meaningless except for making its own incompetence and fury manifest.
“Therefore, the purpose of Peach Blossom Town is definitely not to kill us.”
Meng Chao mumbled, “I have a vague feeling that the monster mastermind probably wants us to live more than we die. Of course, it wants us to live through the information implanted in our brains through Peach Blossom Town and transmit the information to more people and everybody through brainwaves.
“Just like spreading the blood-striped spores and the zombie virus.”
“The monster mastermind tried to use Peach Blossom Town to brainwash us,” Lu Siya said coldly. “That’s why it told us the news of ‘Earth’s destruction’ first.”
The words ‘Earth’s destruction’ made Meng Chao’s pupils contract again.
“Sister Ya, what did you say?” He still did not want to believe it.
“The destruction of the Earth. Judging from your ugly expression, I can tell that the little girl named Gu Ling has already told you the shocking news.”
Lu Siya said, “If Peach Blossom Town is really a scheme meticulously arranged by the monster mastermind, every word spoken by everyone here will not be meaningless.
“Even though they have transmigrated to another world for more than half a century, many people in Dragon City still consider themselves Earthlings. They believe that no matter what our Dragon City civilization becomes, we will always be a part of the civilization of the Earth. Countless people are willing to fight for Earth, and they are even willing to pay any price to return to Earth.
“It can be said that Earth is not only the homeland of many people, but also the belief of many people!
“However, the monster mastermind told them right away that Earth had been destroyed. Although the Sea of stars was vast, they had nowhere to go. They did not have any belief at all. It was worth it for them to fight and sacrifice everything.
“Such explosive news will certainly make many determined experts of Dragon City panic. They will focus most of their attention on the ‘Earth’s destruction’, but they will ignore the obvious details and flaws in front of them.
“Also, if some of the explorers really believe the nonsense about Earth’s destruction and their beliefs are shaken, it will be easier for their spirit defense line to collapse and be completely controlled by the monster mastermind, won’t it?”
“It makes sense!”
Meng Chao’s eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, “Sister Ya, are you saying that the monster mastermind is talking nonsense? There is no thermonuclear war on Earth, and the civilization on Earth will never be destroyed? Is that right?”
“I’m saying that it doesn’t matter what that ghost girl, Gu Ling, says. Whether or not a thermonuclear war breaks out on Earth and whether or not Earth’s civilization is destroyed has nothing to do with us.”
Lu Siya enunciated each word and said coldly, “Wake up, Meng Chao. From the moment we stepped out of Earth, the long journey ahead can only depend on ourselves. Don’t let the so-called survival of the mother planet affect your mind!”
