453. Cognitive Interference

Upon hearing Xiya's words, Lu Ban immediately became alert.

Du Danping can be considered a Chosen of the Gods has delved into the secrets of another realm. At least in the Ruined City and this world, he has left his mark, and collecting his Melody Fragment is one of Lu Ban's tasks.

Currently, Lu Ban only has two of them: one is at the Nanhua Private Renji Hospital, and the other is in that strange town in the Ruined City.

Just as completing the task left by Momiji allowed us to glimpse Momiji life, if we could obtain all of Du Danping's Melody Fragment, would we be able to glimpse the life of this Chosen of the Gods Lu Ban had only ever seen as a corpse?

Moreover, according to Trist, he was guided by Du Danping. So, does the Du Danping of the past truly exist in some otherworldly time and space in the future?

"Tell me in detail."

Lu Ban hurriedly pressed for more information.

Qin Tiantian heard Du Danping's name and felt it sounded familiar, but her survival instinct made her continue eating, ignoring everything else.

Anyway, her memory only lasts seven seconds; she'll forget about this meal after she's eaten it.

Feng Yu frowned slightly. She glanced at Lu Ban, then turned her gaze to Xiya as well.

"After we left the Ruined City, I went on three more missions. In the last mission, I returned to the wasteland and traveled with a caravan. I met the real humans there and their city-states. Later, in the city-state, I met a Chosen of the Gods was on another mission and received a lot of help from him. At first, I thought he was a local Chosen of the Gods from the wasteland, but after watching your movie yesterday, I realized that the person seemed to be Du Danping."

Xiya highlighted the key points of her mission experience.

Will the Chosen of the Gods descend upon the same alien land in a way that is not shared with others?

Lu Ban felt something was strange.

If they are all Chosen of the Gods from the Silent Land, then when they go to the same exotic location, they will most likely travel together as companions, with everyone having the same goal.

If two groups of Chosen of the Gods exist in the same spacetime, they may clash if their goals are different.

Just like those two Bandaged Man Lu Ban back on the Harmony Island.

However, the two sides at that time clearly belonged to different deities, and the other side was not even the Silent Land.

Therefore, Lu Ban believes that this situation will probably only occur when two or more deities want to influence a certain period of time.

Both are Chosen of the Gods from the Silent Land, so why aren't Du Danping and Xiya traveling together?

Why does Du Danping need to hide her identity?

"There's no need. The Silent Land prioritizes efficiency and will put the most suitable people in the most suitable situations."

Feng Yu shook his head.

"Du Danping is probably dead in real life."

She confirmed it.

"Yes, I personally ground his bones to ashes."

Lu Ban said matter-of-factly.

"."

Feng Yu remained silent for a moment.

"Du Danping's condition may be very special. Perhaps he has found a way to escape the Silent Land, or he can freely choose which alien realm to descend into."

She continued.

"At the same time, we can also confirm one thing: the Du Danping of the past is still alive in the alien world. Perhaps many of his missions are to the future. If you have the chance, you may be able to meet him again."

"There's one more thing: there might be a fragment of Du Danping's Melody Fragment in the wasteland."

Lu Ban said reluctantly.

Lu Ban found it hard to accept the insects in the wasteland that wanted to have larvae with him, but according to Xiya, at least there were living people there. If he had the chance next time, Lu Ban would definitely go to the wasteland to inquire.

"By the way, what was the name of the city-state you visited in the wasteland?"

Lu Ban asked again, intending to inquire about it so that he could find an opportunity to search for that city-state next time he went to the wasteland.

"I'm not entirely sure what the city-state's name means, but judging from its pronunciation, it should be called Utopia, and the city-state's leader is named Plato."

Xiya said as she recalled.

"Utopia, Plato"

Lu Ban certainly knew these two terms.

Utopia is a fictional social state, now often used negatively. Plato, a philosopher, described a social system with Utopia rudiments in his work "The Republic."

Plato's Utopia has a surrealist flavor.

Connecting this to the fact that the name of the Saint's Remains was Achilles, Lu Ban strongly suspected that all the Named Ones in the wasteland were names he was familiar with.

Is the reason this alien land has such a name because Chosen of the Gods traveled to the early wasteland and had an impact on society, or perhaps the system of saints was created by this Chosen of the Gods?

"By the way, why didn't you call Old Cui this time?"

Lu Ban decided to keep these things to himself.

"I sent him an invitation, but he didn't respond."

Xiya replied.

"Has something happened to Old Cui?"

Lu Ban had a bad feeling.

The invitation from the Silent Land is not instantaneous, but will be delivered at an appropriate time. If Trist does not respond, it means that either he does not want to participate in this difficult mission, or he has encountered some inescapable problem that he cannot solve.

For example, in the simplest case, if Trist died after Lu Ban and the others left the Ruined City, then naturally he wouldn't have received the invitation, and naturally he wouldn't have been able to come.

There was no response to the messages left by Xiya and Lu Ban in the Silent Land, so it seems that Trist has indeed encountered something.

"If we have the chance to go to the Ruined City, we should go and look for him."

Lu Ban could only hope that Trist was simply trapped, and not that he had met with some misfortune.

Right now, their focus should be on the mission.

"From the reports about the Amusement Park, it can be inferred that the strange phenomenon at the Amusement Park may have only recently appeared, and it has affected a large number of people and has a certain degree of Cognitive Interference."

Feng Yu summarized it in one sentence.

"Cognitive Interference?"

Xiya clearly didn't understand the meaning of the word, so she asked.

"It will affect your perception, making you think that red is blue, that left is right, and that Stone are food."

Feng Yu offered an explanation.

So Stone can't be eaten?

Xiya was surprised.

"Ahem, in short, Cognitive Interference is a kind of supernatural ability that is quite terrifying to ordinary people, but for those who have seen supernatural powers and been exposed to pollution, such as us, there are certain ways to avoid it."

Feng Yu cleared his throat and said.

"First, the effect of Cognitive Interference is to confuse your perception of the things around you. Therefore, you need to establish a benchmark, that is, to confirm a concept. When this concept is different from your perception, it means that you have been affected by cognitive impairment."

"We need to establish some benchmark concepts for Amusement Park."
