Holding a watermelon knife, rush to the street and chop people indiscriminately?
Of course, such a madman is very scary, but after all, he is just an "out of control person".
What kind of madman is the scariest?
Answer: The kind of lunatic whose external cognition is different from ordinary people and whose internal cognition is extremely clear is the most terrifying!
The "terrible" here does not mean that it is simply terrifying or difficult to control, but that its actions and thoughts are difficult for ordinary people to understand.
And you need to pay special attention to one thing:
"Different external cognition" and "clear internal cognition" are indispensable. Otherwise, he is not a madman, but an ordinary person.
…
Let’s use an analogy.
A congenitally blind man like the captain.
Without the existence of extraordinary power, she would live in darkness her whole life.
For the captain in that situation, the so-called "vision" naturally does not exist.
Even if you can feel the shape of an object through touch, you still cannot form visual cognition in your brain.
This is the so-called "external cognition".
At the same time, such people will never be able to feel something that ordinary people take for granted.
As for "internal cognition", it is more common.
Some common mental illnesses, or simply poor self-perception, etc.
These two are not crazy, they are just "people", no different from you and me.
But if the two are added together...
Even, coupled with the catalyst of "the ability to think calmly", the nature of this "person" will undergo earth-shaking changes.
At first glance, they look no different from ordinary people, but they often have a complete and self-consistent logic that cannot be shaken at all and will only act according to their own logic.
That kind of person's cognition is incomprehensible to ordinary people, and his mental state is also extremely unstable.
For example tourists;
Such as dancers;
That is, for example, cognitive properties.
…
First, exclude those with link characteristics.
Before those with link-type characteristics were exposed by the man in white, which type was the rarest among the four types of people with characteristics?
Many people will answer: it is the rule type.
This is indeed the case.
Among the famous people with special characteristics currently known, only the leaders of each of the three extraordinary forces are truly rule-type special people.
The president of the Star Chamber of Commerce, the president of the Deep Space Society, and the knife-wielding witness who rarely appears.
However, after Xu Cheng came into contact with them, he didn't realize how rare those with rules-based characteristics were.
Maybe it's because of too much exposure.
After all, he had just fought with the president at Stargazing Mountain not long ago, and now he even has the president's girl's phone number in his cell phone.
The type of person with characteristics that really makes Xu Cheng feel rare should be the "cognitive type".
The cognition of people with this characteristic is different from that of ordinary people, and its characteristic ability allows the person with this characteristic to see some "elements" that ordinary people cannot understand.
Before the tourists showed up, the only people with cognitive characteristics that Xu Cheng came into contact with were the dancers on the New Wuming.
It was definitely a tough fight.
The dancer's characteristics allow her to observe other people's "field of vision" like the protagonist of a stealth video game.
This ability allows the dancer to easily find Xu Cheng's visual blind spot, and then launch an attack through the strange creature fused with her body.
And today, Xu Cheng met the second person with cognitive characteristics——
tourists.
It was a very similar kind of madness, yet subtly different.
The dancer's madness is not hidden at all, she just wants to find ways to kill everyone who hinders her, even if it is the plan of the Star Chamber of Commerce, it doesn't matter.
But tourists are different.
At first glance, she seems to be just a cheerful little girl visiting Lamba Town, with at most some bad habits like smoking.
But the world itself looks completely different in the eyes of tourists.
This is a person with cognitive characteristics!
…
Xu Cheng leaned against the wall and smoked silently with the tourists.
His mind was rapidly thinking about what the tourist had just said.
"My characteristic is that I can materialize all 'dangers' and see them as 'lines' one after another."
Standard cognitive class.
But Xu Cheng still doesn’t know what the specific situation is.
As if seeing Xu Cheng's doubts, the tourist suddenly leaned forward and asked with a smile:
"Old sir, do you want me to explain it to you?"
Xu Cheng narrowed his eyes.
There are two possibilities for a traitor to take the initiative to explain his or her abilities to others.
Either it is absolute trust like a teammate, or it is extreme confidence in one's own characteristics and abilities.
but……
Tourists do not belong to either side.
She smiled more and more excitedly and said with expectation:
"Because I feel that if I explain my characteristics to you, the danger lines in front of me will increase!"
Then, without waiting for Xu Cheng's answer, the tourist started to explain on his own.
"All 'dangers' will turn into entities in my eyes, and then turn into thin lines. I call them 'red lines'."
"The greater the possibility of encountering danger, the more red lines around me."
"For example, in the open space of the playground, there are very few red lines around me."
"But if it were in the middle of Haicheng's main highway, there would be red lines all around me."
"The red line is the dangerous entity."
As the tourist spoke, he took out a fruit knife from his pocket.
Of course, such a small toy cannot hurt Xu Cheng.
The tourist raised the fruit knife, then stared at the tip of the knife, and the petals in his pupils spread out.
"Look, there's a line right here."
The place where tourists look is empty.
This was an extremely strange scene, but Xu Cheng also believed that the other party was telling the truth.
Because people with cognitive attributes can indeed see some "other" things.
"For me, all dangers are visual, so I will always avoid any possible danger if I want to."
"But...I don't want to."
"That kind of life is too boring. You can live your life in an ordinary way and die in an ordinary way."
"This world should be more interesting, right?"
The tourist stretched out his other hand and gently grabbed the fruit knife directly below.
"The red line is the materialization of danger."
"So as long as I draw along a red line, I will experience the dangers associated with that red line."
Click!
Before he finished speaking, the handle of the fruit knife suddenly cracked.
The blade caught in it slipped down and happened to scratch the back of the tourist's hand.
In an instant, a shallow cut was made on the back of the tourist's hand, which turned red.
Blood dripped down, but the wound was very shallow and stopped quickly.
"The closer the paddling position is to the red line, the greater the danger I encounter."
"If I had stroked exactly along the red line, the fruit knife just now would have cut off my wrist."
The tourist suddenly raised his head and looked around.
"There are so many red lines around~!"
That expression was like a child seeing colorful bubbles in the sky.
Naivety.
And, there is no good or evil.
"This line connects to a witness's room."
She pointed somewhere in the corridor.
"If I paddle along this line, I will be spotted by witnesses and hunted down, right?"
"Great..."
"And there's this one, connected to the light bulb above!"
"If I cross it, the light bulb may explode, my face may be disfigured, or my eyes may be blinded by glass shards."
"ah……"
"There's more, there's more!"
The more the tourists talked, the more excited they became.
She suddenly turned her head and looked at Xu Cheng beside her.
Face flushed.
"Old sir, there are so many red lines around you..."
"If I paddle along one of these, will you beat me to death?"
"Yes! Yes!"
The tourists suddenly pounced on Xu Cheng.
Before the latter had time to react, he heard the tourist suddenly say:
"By the way, old sir, those red lines are physical to me, so they can be pulled by me."
Her hand suddenly reached behind Xu Cheng's back, then grabbed it out of thin air and pulled hard!
Wow!
…
That moment——
In the petal-shaped pupils of the tourists, a scene like this appeared:
Dozens of red threads were pulled by her own hands, penetrating Xu Cheng's body and pulling him into a "dangerous entity".
Xu Cheng fell into "danger".
At the same time, Xu Cheng's eyes were staring at her.
That gaze, along with Xu Cheng's body, turned into hundreds of red lines, penetrating the visitor's own body at the same time!
More "dangers" are like floods, drowning tourists!
The tourists raised their heads, like drowning people, greedily breathing in the air around them.
