Volume 5: A New Era Chapter 85: Survival Requires Mental Illness
Countless lights bloomed from the Pandora doll, surrounding Liu Yunchen, guarding his rationality and preventing him from transforming into a beast.
These people who were toyed to death by Liu Yunchen, at this moment, their last hope became Liu Yunchen's hope.
But that’s not enough.
These hopes can only protect you for a while, the beasts will come after you again.
Therefore, there is only one way to escape from the crisis.
The real dimension - [Beast Herd], is essentially an area of weakened rationality, which adheres to the bestial will, that is, simplifying the life process into hunting - mating - resting.
It was then further simplified to "survival".
Wisdom is only a hindrance, but when wisdom reaches a certain level, it will begin to hinder survival.
Because of the birth of wisdom, many unnecessary desires will evolve.
Such as the desire for money, is money useful for survival?
If basic money is useful, what about more money?
Are luxury goods useful for survival?
Examples like “If you hear the truth in the morning, you can die in the evening” all reflect the danger of wisdom.
Therefore wisdom is not necessary for survival.
On the contrary, excessive wisdom will only become an obstacle to survival.
So wisdom must be weakened.
This is the basic principle of the [Beast Group], which is based on survival, strengthening the survival instinct and weakening unnecessary wisdom.
Most of the beasts in the herd are crazy.
The pollution will continue to spread to you. If you want to block the pollution and make the beasts abandon you, there is only one way, and that is to become a dangerous or unnecessary object.
The purpose of the herd is survival, and anything that is not conducive to survival is of no interest to the herd.
It’s just that what you think is unimportant may not necessarily be what the herd thinks is unimportant.
The size gap between the two sides represents a huge gap in cognition.
So lying down is ineffective. Even if you lie down, the herd will still find you.
Only when it goes to the extreme and turns oneself into a harmful substance can it be considered successful.
The biggest difference between Liu Yunchen and the beast group is just one thing - bad luck.
Madness is what the herd needs, but doom is not.
Of course a little bit of bad luck is useless, only extreme bad luck will do!
Some black aura suddenly emerged from the dolls infected by the beasts.
These auras gathered towards Liu Yunchen.
Then the dolls were quickly contaminated by the beasts.
Those dolls themselves were created by bad luck. After the harmful substances in their bodies were extracted, the beasts acted faster.
But at this moment, all those harmful substances - bad luck - were gathering towards Liu Yunchen.
The ultimate self-preservation technique - Reverse Pandora's Box!
Place hope at the bottom, and collect and imprison countless disasters and misfortunes in it.
This forged Pandora's Box in its original state.
Intelligent humans would open this thing out of curiosity, but the herd that only needs to maintain survival would never touch it again.
This is a pile of shit, or even worse than a pile of shit.
For some animals, shit is edible, but for Pandora's Box, this thing is useless.
"No, it's not enough!" The bad luck was gathering, but Liu Yunchen found that the beasts still had not given up on polluting him.
"Because all these misfortunes are still under my control and have not gotten out of control?" He immediately discovered the reason.
The Killing Joke has an underlying logic, which is that crazy people don't care about bad luck.
Those who are doomed by the Deadly Joke have only two choices according to the standard solution of this skill, either death or madness, unless they break the situation violently.
If one is crazy, the evil consequences will no longer have any effect, but will begin to become a part of the power of the madman.
As the owner of the skill, Liu Yunchen's control over the consequences is gradual.
Once the cursed of the Deadly Joke falls into madness, they can be harvested by Liu Yunchen and controlled by this power to become puppets. At this time, Liu Yunchen can completely control the evil consequences.
In other words, the misfortune brought about by this evil consequence has already been determined and will not bring any harm to Liu Yunchen.
The herd will not be fooled by this level of sleight of hand.
"If you want to truly create Pandora, you can only use the evil consequences that have not yet been harvested as materials!" Liu Yunchen has also created a lot of evil consequences during this period.
Lu Bai and others all have bad consequences. There are also a series of local natives such as Ye Longyu, who will also have bad consequences implanted by Liu Yunchen.
At this time, Lu Bai and others were still far from going crazy. He had previously suppressed the occurrence of the evil consequences and allowed them to break out within this period of time, which was already the limit of his control over the evil consequences at that time.
This is also inevitable.
Under the condition of limited power, one can either absorb external forces and give up excessive control, or give up external forces and give up the power of ability.
The reason why the fatal joke could cause such a huge disaster was because Liu Yunchen's power was just the driving force.
He just threw a fist-sized snowball on the snow mountain, and everything that happened afterwards was just the external forces gathered as the snowball rolled.
Only when the dust settles and the snowball rolls down the hill and stops rolling, can he once again take control of the snowball that has grown countless times larger.
But now, this motionless snowball was of no use to him at all.
Only the still galloping snowball and its unstoppable rolling could scare away the beasts that were coveting him.
Liu Yunchen couldn't help but look at Lu Bai over there.
What he saw made him frown.
A stone statue appeared at the entrance of the cave at some point.
The stone statue looks like an evil spirit, and is surrounded by a dangerous aura.
"This stone statue...?" Liu Yunchen instinctively felt that there was a serious problem with the stone statue, but he had no time to think about it.
He provoked the bad consequences on Lu Bai, and then involved more bad consequences to converge on him, even though the convergence of these bad consequences might completely crush him to pieces.
But Liu Yunchen couldn't care less.
Inside and outside the Longfeng Cave, Huniu, Gouzi, Weiwei, Tianshi... and other people who had suffered the evil consequences were stunned at the same time, as if their whole bodies were relaxed, as if a layer of shackles .
However, at this moment, countless connections were established, and the mark of the "Black Snake" appeared on all the evil consequences.
Under the influence of these marks, the evil consequences did not converge on Liu Yunchen, but floated between the two of them.
"Lu Bai?!" Liu Yunchen was stunned, then he laughed.
"It seems that you are the enemy that I must defeat. In that case, let's fight it out."
There was no madness in Liu Yunchen's eyes at this moment, or perhaps it was because there was too much madness that caused everything to be rendered normal by the madness.
Just like in times of famine, eating one's own children is a crazy yet normal thing.
What Liu Yunchen is doing now is both crazy and normal.
" Come on then!" Lu Bai was equally crazy.
