Lu Xin and Gecko immediately stopped talking.

Lu Xin feels that Chen Jing may have an idea now.

Gecko can see it. If it were repeated, his shoes would probably have to be one size smaller...

"Professor Bai said that in the fight against pollution, reason is our only advantage."

Chen Jing reached out and smoothed his short hair, and then spoke without any fluctuations in his voice, "Those who can create such a perfect illusion are either fantasy-type people like drunkards, or people with Dreamweaver-type abilities. And what we encountered cannot be Dreamweaver-type, because we did not blur our consciousness and cognition, and we did not see any flaws when we were awake."

Lu Xin nodded, he could understand what Chen Jing said.

If you are under the influence of Dreamweaver-type's ability user, when your consciousness begins to wake up and you realize that you are in a dream, then everything around you will begin to have blurred boundaries. The more you are awake, the clearer the boundaries will be.

"And if we meet a fantasy type like an alcoholic..."

Chen Jing raised her head and looked around, then shook her head slightly. "Even an alcoholic would find it difficult to create such a large and real illusion. After all, fantasy only distorts people's five senses. If an alcoholic wants to create such an illusion, then she needs to weave every detail of the world herself. Anything that is not in line with common sense will be seen as obvious flaws..."

"So, in the fantasy genre, there are usually only one or two very familiar small scenes that can be made realistic."

"This is why drunkards most of the time make their own space into a comic style..."

"..."

After a slight pause, she continued slowly, "The drunkard has cooperated with us in a very detailed test, so I have most of the information about her abilities. This scene also has some differences from her abilities. The drunkard can distort the five senses, so the illusion created by the drunkard is very real. Whether it is smell, hearing, or touch, it is all very real..."

"She can even make people taste a delicacy that they have never tasted before."

"..."

Lu Xin listened to Chen Jing's careful analysis and did not dare to interrupt.

In fact, if he came in by himself, he would probably choose to continue walking at this time and wait until he encounters something strange.

But now, he is not in a hurry.

It is different from Chen Jing and others who have always been worried about whether the experiment will succeed, so they are in a hurry.

He was originally visiting relatives, so it didn't matter what his relatives were doing now, as long as he made sure he was always in this city.

At this time, Gecko only dared to stand there and blink. Chen Jing was thinking about how to solve the problem. He didn't dare to interrupt. The way Lu Xin just spoke to the air around him brought back the fearful memories of his past. He didn't dare to drag him into chatting anymore. He stayed by himself and felt really uncomfortable. He suddenly turned his head and looked at the little girl in a short skirt on the road around him, and his mood gradually improved...

So what if you know it's fake.

Aren't there so many otakus drooling at the second dimension every day?

"Huh..."

After thinking about it for an unknown amount of time, Chen Jing suddenly took a long breath and turned around.

"Comparing it with the abilities of an alcoholic reveals a strange thing about the world."

She suddenly turned her head and said to Lu Xin and Gecko: "Close your eyes first and sense carefully. Did you find anything?"

Gecko and Lu Xin looked at each other and closed their eyes.

Taking a deep breath, Gecko showed a smile on his face, "The fresh breath of young girls..."

Lu Xin slowly said, "Moldy smell, grass smell, rusty iron smell... and rotten smell!"

They suddenly opened their eyes and looked at each other with some confusion.

Even if you close your eyes, you will smell something completely different.

"This is the weak point of this world, and this is the key point."

Chen Jing's face became serious and said, "Actually, it does not distort your five senses accurately. It is just because what it makes you see is too real, so your five senses automatically adjust to it. Just like when you see a piece of cake, even if you only see it and don't smell it, you still feel like you smell the aroma of cream."

"Gecko is a brainless guy, so he is directly attracted to the lively little girls in this city."

"When he saw the little girl on the street, he filled in the smell, color, details, etc..."

"Single soldier..."

She glanced at Lu Xin and said, "The performance of the individual soldiers is obviously better."

Lu Xin was slightly startled, feeling a little happy. Why did the leader's praise come so suddenly?

"In other words, this girl was actually made up of my brain?"

Gecko didn't feel embarrassed at all. He closed his eyes slightly, looked at the street again, and muttered, "Then why are they wearing clothes?"

Chen Jing ignored him and just said, "I have a conjecture. What we are encountering now is not a distorted force, but a force of influence. You can understand that it is not someone who created an illusion for us, but some kind of force that makes us..."

She seemed to think for a moment before choosing an accurate description, "Drawn into memories."

"Only in memories will everything feel so reasonable."

"Because in your memories, no matter how unreasonable you are, you will subconsciously make up for it..."

"..."

"Huh?"

Both Lu Xin and Gecko find this statement somewhat novel.

But another kind of doubt arose. "Then how do we get out of here?"

"I already told you, leave on foot!"

Chen Jing had already made a decision in his heart and said softly, "The most terrifying thing about memories is not that they will cause you any harm, but that they will make you trapped in memories forever. Under normal circumstances, cleaning up pollution is to find the logical chain and then destroy its origin. But now, we are in a hurry, and secondly, without understanding this kind of pollution, it may not be safe to stay in this environment for a long time."

As she spoke, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Do you know?"

"There is another way to solve pollution, a simpler way."

After a pause, she said, "Reverse Pollution."

"Reverse Pollution?"

After hearing these four words, Lu Xin was startled and looked towards his sister.

Although this was the first time he heard this term, he remembered that he had seen this ability more than once. Sometimes when his sister was angry, she could use her ability to pollute Mental Monster. If it was something else...

"Captain, how do you use such an advanced word?"

At this time, Gecko also asked this question with a serious face.

"Pollution Source can pollute the people or animals around us, and we esper users can actually do the same."

"The ability user itself is a kind of Pollution Source, but he can control it himself."

As she spoke, she turned around and looked back at the people walking along the street. She said softly, "No matter what we encounter now, if we stay here and try to find out its logic and destroy it, we will waste a lot of time. Maybe this is the original purpose of our enemies... relatives... to trap us in this street of memories."

"We cannot let our opponents lead us by the nose. The most important thing is to get out of this street now."

As she spoke, she frowned slightly and said, "To a certain extent, the opponent's arrangement pointed us in the direction, because the laboratory cannot be established in an area covered by memories, because the radiation of mental power will affect the experimental data."

"So, as long as we can leave this scene, we will be very close to the location of the laboratory."

"..."

At this point, she paused and said, "But if you want to leave..."

"The only thing we can be sure of now is the clue just provided by the individual soldier."

"..."

Lu Xin was slightly surprised, what did he provide?

Obviously I just said one thing, these seem to be living people, right?

"Didn't you say you were sure that they are alive and really exist?"

Chen Jing looked back at Lu Xin and said softly, "You didn't use the word "living person" because you were not sure?"

"Huh?"

Lu Xin subconsciously looked at his sister.

My sister was pretending not to see him.

Lu Xin glared at his sister with hatred, and had no choice but to nod in response to Chen Jing's gaze.

"That's enough."

Chen Jing looked at Lu Xin as if he was communicating with an invisible sister, and spoke softly.

She looked unfazed, as if she had adapted to it.

This is better than Gecko. When Gecko saw Lu Xin talking to his sister again, he took two steps back without anyone noticing, with a look of caution on his face.

Chen Jing turned to look at the flow of people on the street, his face looked very calm, and said, "We are now affected. What we see is mixed between true and false. In fact, whether they are all true or false, it is not terrible. What is terrible is that the opponent will launch an attack or sneak attack on us under this illusion. If we want to leave, the most important thing is to protect ourselves."

"So, if the opponent plans to send these 'living things' here to plot against us, then why can't we use them to protect us?" As she spoke, she gently took off the black sunglasses she was wearing on her face, hung them on her chest, rubbed her eyes, and said, "As long as these things are alive and conscious, I should be able to influence them with my abilities."

"Huh?"

Lu Xin and Gecko both looked at her in surprise.

Lu Xin is looking at Chen Jing's face, and Gecko is looking at Chen Jing's glasses.

"In the other party's contaminated area, it affects the whole or part of it and creates favorable conditions. This is Reverse Pollution."

Chen Jing said softly, "This is an advanced course that requires training for level four talents. Neither of you have taken it yet."

"In this process, if the other party is just an individual, that's fine, but if the other party also has a strong spiritual level, then it will definitely compete with and consume my mental power, and my mental power will be consumed faster..."

"So, you need to protect me on both sides."

"..."

Lu Xin and Gecko looked at each other and nodded at the same time. "Yes!"

After saying that, he acted like two bodyguards and ran to both sides of Chen Jing diligently, guarding him loyally.

The sister on the side tilted her head and looked at the two of them.

The little mouth curled up, showing an expression of contempt.
