    Be wary of relativist sophistry’s interpretation of nothingness

    “Psychic Baking Therapy”?I don’t know, but it’s probably called this.

    An entity that exceeds the threshold is like a container with a burst hole, and the damage is currently irreversible.

    Therefore, for those patients with first- and second-level mutations, maintaining the status quo is the best conservative treatment.

    And the deterioration—apparently, the reason is energy.

    It all comes down to energy – success is its fault and failure is its fault.

    Similar to Shen Molin’s “thinking” theory, those mutants continuously accumulate incorporeal value through “emotions”.As a result, the uncontrollable energy continued to hit the holes in the dam like a flood, and their bodies became more and more corrupted.

    Resolving emotions and slowly releasing them is an obvious and inevitable method of healing.This is not only beneficial to patients, but also to potential patients who have not yet crossed the threshold but are prone to it.

    Existing psychological therapies have been proven to be effective.

    “Mental Baking Therapy” is concise and concise, related to baking, and is a type of occupational therapy.

    This therapy uses raw materials such as flour, sugar, and butter as metaphors for primitive, chaotic emotional energy; while the baked product is an orderly, beautiful, and acceptable new self.Therefore, the whole process of “baking” is a ritual that transforms disordered inner energy into a “safe work” through an orderly creative process.

    This psychological activity was proposed by Qi Ruiqing, suggested by Senior Sister Yu, planned and implemented by the Research Department and the Municipal People’s Hospital, and approved by the management of the restricted area.

    Shen Molin, who was looking as calm as water, wanted to slip away.

    “Don’t leave, come back.”

    If this psychological activity ends here, it will be a most ordinary group therapy activity that only considers the physical level.

    Shen Molin is very important.

    After all, no one can guarantee whether the considerable amount of incorporeal energy collectively released during the healing process will cause some… trouble.

    Who doesn’t like pie in the sky, right?

    “Hmm…” Shen Molin didn’t know what to say. He just held his small corn cup and dug into it spoon by spoon without knowing what he was thinking about.

    Qi Ruiqing washed off the flour paste on his hands and finally found time to see him.

    “What flavor do you want to eat?” Holding a strawberry corner in one hand and a lychee in the other, he asked him to stretch out his hand, “Choose one?”

    Shen Molin glanced twice, then slowly reached out and grabbed Qi Ruiqing’s wrist.

    “You choose, I can do either.”

    After he finished speaking, he withdrew his hand and continued to eat him.In this noisy corner with people coming and going, he is really… just like ordinary people, inconspicuous.

    Senior Sister Yu came pushing a wheelchair.She has excellent self-control and is now almost used to the changes in her body.

    Shen Molin glanced at Senior Sister Yu, because the other party was looking at him without hesitation.

    “You, remember?” Senior Sister Yu was stunned for a moment, then swallowed the words as if she was swallowing them alive.

    Before she finished speaking, Shen Molin’s head began to rotate evenly and at a constant speed.His eyes didn’t move, and he stared stiffly at the person who asked him the question.

    For some reason, Qi Ruiqing felt a dark and damp hostility.It wasn’t aimed at himself, but it was stabbing towards Senior Sister Yu.

    “Shen Molin…” Senior Sister Yu must have felt it too. The gills on her neck were holding her breath, closed for a long time before opening.

    “Hee, yes.” Shen Molin said coldly and raised his eyebrows.

    “We all know about DMT.” Qi Ruiqing couldn’t figure out what was going on between the two of them, but the hostility made him inexplicably nervous.He unconsciously answered the question for Shen Molin and licked his lips.

    “You…” Senior Sister Yu speculated on Qi Ruiqing with some disbelief, and quickly scanned Shen Molin’s face.She seems to be “afraid”?

    “It doesn’t count if he told…” Qi Ruiqing knew that Shen Molin would not take the initiative to tell him, “I saw the memory.”

    “Memory?”

    Forgot, forgot, forgot, this matter has not been explained clearly to Senior Sister Yu.

    Qi Ruiqing knew in his heart that Senior Sister Yu was his eternal ally.Not only her, Qi Ruiqing also needs the support of almost everyone on this long and difficult road: “Let’s have a good chat about DMT, memory, and…”

    “And Shen Molin.” Senior Sister Yu added.

    Of course, there is also Shen Molin.

    Currently, the statistics of the known information about the three people are as follows:

    Memory about Shen Molin: The memory started in October about three years ago, after breaking up with Qi Ruiqing and signing a contract with my mother. It continued intermittently until the eve of the experiment on the day of the explosion, and ended at the moment of failure.

    This memory was neither detailed enough nor clear enough. Even Shen Molin, who had not experienced any of this, might not be able to remember everything because of the drug sequelae of that “self-mutilation”.

    About drugs: The mechanism of action of DMT-SYN-015 and DMT-Exp series is basically that DMT mainly works by binding to 5-hydroxytryptamine 2A receptors in the cerebral cortex.

    DMT itself is actually a hallucinogen, which can have serious side effects when taken in large amounts for a short period of time or for a long time.

    Shen Molin’s symptoms include sluggishness, short-term amnesia and irritability.

    As an accelerant of the energy growth of the weak body in the human body, current experiments have confirmed the effect of this drug on physiological entities under the synergistic effect of electrical stimulation and the correlation between certain biochemical and physiological reactions and changes in the weak body.

    A single drug cannot induce significant changes in the body’s weak energy.

    Therefore, the focus of this experiment has actually shifted from “drug research” to the research of “new dimensions” and “new energy” in a subtle way.

    This is completely different from the original intention of Shen’s mother and Shen’s Pharmaceutical Company, so this is one of the reasons why Shen Molin acted hastily in his eagerness to monetize his knowledge.

    “She only has interests in her eyes.” Senior Sister Yu concluded.

    “So she really deserves to die!” Qi Ruiqing couldn’t hide his anger.

    The protagonist of the story, the one who is always silent, is silent and indifferent.

    The hostility was still faint, like the muzzle of a gun hidden in the distance.Qi Ruiqing was uneasy and unconsciously touched the scales on the back of her hands.

    “Don’t.” Shen Molin held his hand, “Well, don’t.”

    Qi Ruiqing saw that he seemed to sigh, and the hostility disappeared.

    “Speaking of which, isn’t this the first time Shen Molin has recovered his memory?” Senior Sister Yu also breathed a sigh of relief and cheered up.

    “Yes, the first time happened when we were called by the research department one day after you discovered it.” Qi Ruiqing helped Shen Molin throw away the empty cup in his palm. “That time he remembered earlier, about our breakup. You guessed it right, senior sister.”

    Shen Molin still didn’t speak, only pursed his lips while chewing the spoon. His eating of the corn cup cake was purely symbolic.

    The base of his ears turned a little red.

    “Almost drunk? It’s all on your face.” Senior Sister Yu was jokingly concerned.

    “…Tsk.” Shen Molin’s appearance seemed a little blurry.

    Qi Ruiqing rubbed his eyes, and when he looked at him again, everything was back to normal.

    He has been out of shape since the beginning. Is it because he has been taking in energy…

    “No, don’t worry.”

    Shen Molin sighed again, sighing deeper than before, as if he wanted to expel all the air in his stomach.

    He put down the cup of corn that he couldn’t put down and finally started to participate in the conversation.

    “How did senior sister change?” It was a bit rude.

    “Oh, do you know?” Senior Sister Yu shook the black tea in her hand. The moment she lowered her eyes to look at the color of the tea soup, she couldn’t help but feel a flash of hatred. “But, you also understand what your mother treats me, right?”

    Tool man.Qi Ruiqing also understood, but he didn’t say anything when he saw through it.

    “Yes, my dear mentor will not make unprepared choices. She must understand all the cause and effect before capturing you…”

    “So I’m no longer here, and you are her guinea pig.” Shen Molin suddenly gloated and smiled inexplicably, “It’s so ironic, isn’t it, senior sister?”

    Senior Sister Yu closed her eyes and endured the pain with a polite smile: “…More importantly, I revealed some experimental secrets that should not be disclosed to people who should not be disclosed, causing her trouble that should not be caused…”

    No one would believe what a madman said. This idea is so genius.Can use existing technological means to quietly recreate Shen Molin’s tragedy, catalyze a person with extremely strong psychological quality into an alien, and then summarize a few experiences to successfully trap an unprecedented high-dimensional creature…

    “This matter…” Qi Ruiqing didn’t know either.

    “But it doesn’t matter. Regarding DMT-Exp, as well as the original purpose and steps of the entire experiment, the research department and the management have already understood it. As the only one besides Shen Molin…” Senior Sister Yu looked at Qi Ruiqing and changed her words, “The only person who knows all the information, can this be regarded as repaying a debt of sin?”

    There is nothing to blame the master for, but it is all out of control.Senior Sister Yu, she is obviously very nice.

    “She…is a nice person? Haha…ah…”

    Qi Ruiqing heard a sneer, like self-deprecation, coming from Shen Molin beside him.

    “It is indeed… for you.”

    He grabbed the edge of the table and stood up stiffly, swaying, tilting his head and finally regaining his balance.

    “I don’t blame you, because you did, for some other purposes, for the safety of other people…”

    “For the safety of others”?Others?Subjects?side effect?Reduce concentration?Senior Sister Yu secretly lowered the concentration of DMT-Exp?!

    No wonder the patient’s condition was different from what Shen Molin expected in his memory!!

    “Do you know…” Shen Molin’s voice trembled a little, and Qi Ruiqing finally knew where the vague hostility came from, “If you hadn’t tampered with it privately…”

    The trembling anger was surging forward as he raised his voice of questioning. Many people looked over and noticed this incompatible corner.

    “If you hadn’t insisted on having your own way…”

    Who is the one who insists on having his own way?

    Without Qi Ruiqing’s need to stop him, Shen Molin suddenly calmed down again.

    Qi Ruiqing pressed his fisted hand, which also made him sober up.He stopped, took a deep breath, and blinked hard.

    “…The experiment should have been successful.”

    Another long sigh.

    “The experiment would have been successful…”

    He buried his head and looked back, raising his eyes to meet Qi Ruiqing’s painful eyes.

    A sense of powerlessness replaced anger, and he sank back into his chair, stunned.

    Misfortunes are where blessings depend, and blessings are where misfortunes lie.

    If the experiment is successful, won’t Shen Molin die?

    If the experiment succeeds, will Qi Ruiqing get what he wants?

    If the experiment is successful, won’t Senior Sister Yu become a test subject?

    If the experiment had been successful, wouldn’t the world be what it is now?

    “I don’t know.” Shen Molin murmured.

    That was an era before “Xu” came to the world.

    Was that an era before “Xu” came to the world?

    What is “virtual”?

    Is the water in this room “virtual”?

    No, in Shen Molin’s eyes, they do exist.The accumulation of flowing energy fluctuations is compared to the physical properties of water molecules.

    Are the people in this room “real”?

    No, their bodies have been distorted and mutated, and the colliding limbs are just the result of self-imagination.

    Is the news this TV talks about “false”?

    No, because indeed, everyone’s understanding of the virtual body is getting deeper and deeper, the mutants on the front line have almost disappeared, and the black hole radiation is gradually being controlled.

    Is the good situation in the disaster area “real”?

    No, because everyone’s deeper understanding of the virtual body is making the virtual body’s energy move towards “determination”, “individuality” and “diversity”. It is being fixed and unified, but also chaotically collapsing.

    “…Qing, do you know why I always want to stop you?”

    Shen Molin looked at him, opened his mouth, and the water-like energy poured into his body, and several bubbles emerged.

    “I will kill Qing, and Qing will kill me.”

    Yes and no.What is the truth that Qi Ruiqing recognizes?What does he think is fake?

    Is what he thinks is false true?

    Is what he thinks is fake?

    “I can’t tell.” Shen Molin lowered his hands tiredly, as if the tape weighed a thousand pounds.

    But the tape has been seen to have lost its gears and worn out the tape.It looks so fragile, and it can easily break if touched.

    “…You really should have told me earlier.” Qi Ruiqing didn’t know that he could clearly read Shen Molin’s thoughts, right?How could he turn a blind eye to the pain of those close to him?

    “Because it’s useless to tell you.” Shen Molin put the tape into Qi Ruiqing’s hand, “Qing, you know, you know my bad temper… I am willing to show it to you now because it can’t change anything.”

    “You can judge the authenticity by doubting it.” Qi Ruiqing retorted, “We can get the answer.”

    “That’s wrong. I’ve thought about it. It’s wrong. First, wrong doubts can also give rise to wrong myths.” Shen Molin pointed at himself, “Just like you doubt that Shen Molin is alive.”

    Nothing in this world is fixed once and for all, let alone the virtual reality that varies from person to person.

    “Second, reality and reality are the products of the theory of relativity.”

    The pouring of the virtual body is everywhere, tearing open the mud and tearing the cocoon, layer after layer…

    Where is the truth?

    When the knife of doubt can no longer penetrate, will that layer be reality…?

    Or is that “impenetrable” also a lie?

    “Can you say that our current conversation is fake?” Shen Molin pointed here. This is not the library, nor is it the noisy room. They just appeared here naturally, talking as if there was no one around.

    “The reason why truth is true is because there is falseness to compare with it. However, you should understand that there is no word ‘contrast’ in the world of virtual bodies.”

    Just like Shen Molin couldn’t read how much incorporeal body was contained in that corpse.

    All he can judge is its “existence”.

    However, just existing is useless – yes, they will kill each other, this is a given.

    Qi Ruiqing looked at this space. He couldn’t remember where he was, where he came from, and why he came…

    “So, I’m going to refute your refutation.”

    Shen Molin smiled unexpectedly, and nodded seriously and encouragingly: “Then please tell me.”

    “First, the ‘right to exist’ of the virtual body is lower than the ‘right to define’. As long as we are strong enough and have enough energy, we can directly deny the existence of a future where ‘we will kill each other’.”

    Just like now, we haven’t gone anywhere at all, we are just standing in this room, being stared at by a group of curious and concerned eyes.

    “Are you awake?” Senior Sister Yu was holding the two people’s shoulders, and the worry on her face had just emerged, “In the past fifteen seconds, you two suddenly didn’t react at all.”

    “We’re fine.” Qi Ruiqing smiled…

    “Senior Sister Yu, don’t interrupt us.” Shen Molin said, “Qing, where’s the second one?”

    “Second, I am sure that what you call ‘uncertainty of doubt’ is also just doubt that cannot obtain an accurate reality.”

    The hands held Shen Molin’s face hard, and their palms were warm and strong.

    “I don’t care if you’re real or not.”

    Shen Molin’s eyes almost lit up: “Really? Are you just comforting me?”

    “Nonsense. What I wanted was never to return to reality. My original intention has not changed. You have never been a fake.”

    Shen Molin is there, virtual or real, he is the only Shen Molin, the only lover of Qi Ruiqing in the world.

    Therefore, those who don’t care, Qi Ruiqing doesn’t care.

    “If the ‘impenetrable’ ‘truth’ is an obstacle that prevents me from achieving what I want, I will continue to ‘doubt’ it, even if it is true.”

    “If the ‘impenetrable’ ‘truth’ is the result I want, then I will break the knife and never let anyone pierce it again.”

    Qi Ruiqing grabbed Shen Molin’s hand and pressed her fingers on Shen Molin’s chest.

    “This is a heartbeat.”

    Dongdong——dongdong——dongdong——

    “Yes, that is my heart…” Shen Molin finally smiled, “I am indeed your Shen Molin.”

    “The reason why I’m working hard now is because I always feel that something will take you away from me again.” Qi Ruiqing explained, raising his hand to shake the tape in his hand, “Now it seems that this is indeed the case.”

    “You can also just make it not be like this.” “Haha… Damn I forgot.”

    It is still too difficult for people who study causal science to completely break away from logic.

    “So, do you want to continue?” Shen Molin gently rubbed Qi Ruiqing’s palm and clasped his other hand, her face turned red, as if she had been drunk.

    “The fourth point is…”

    “Shen Molin will never survive” is a false proposition that can be doubted and denied.

    So even from a logical perspective, they will succeed.

    “Why the fourth point?” the smart Shen Molin asked keenly.

    Because this is point -1.5i——

    We who are incorporeal do not need logic and science.

    “The above is obviously sophistry.” Senior Sister Yu complained lightly, “It’s a mess, just drink it while it’s hot.”

    Note
