Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 195 The final plan
When Xia Shou slowly approached the center of the battle from the outskirts of the other end of the battlefield, with the help of the still intact cover, he met many villagers from Yuezhuo Village along the way. The ground was full of corpses, but the villagers were happily discussing the battle that had just taken place.

As we got closer to the center of the battle, the terrain became increasingly strange.

At the very bottom was a scorched black ground, on top of which was a thin layer of frost.

"It seems that the power of more than one demon was used." Xia Shou muttered to himself.

The closer you get to the center, the thicker the ice becomes. By the time you get back to the original position, it's filled with square ice cubes everywhere. The frozen village houses have been turned into a mess by the Rubik's Cube, like an abstract landscape painting by Picasso.

Xia Shou also found Baihe's location at a glance. Baihe stood like a sculpture right above the ice, his body intact, but he should have lost his life.

Xia Shou drove the black shadow to devour Baihe's body, and a progress bar appeared in front of him.

While the black shadow was swallowing him, Xia Shou took the opportunity to explain his next plan to Su Weiyu.

"If I can obtain Brother Bai's skills this time, then there is a high probability that I will not be able to identify the fakes by relying on the black shadow. I only have one last resort." Xia Shou said.

Su Weiyu swallowed her saliva and nodded seriously: "You say!"

"Do you know Pavlov's dog?"

"Of course I know. This experiment is very famous. Every time before Pavlov gave the dog food, he turned on a red light and rang a bell. After a period of time, the dog began to secrete saliva when the bell rang or the red light came on."

Xia Shou nodded: "This experiment shows that if a neutral stimulus that originally cannot cause a certain instinctive reflex is always accompanied by a stimulus that can cause that instinctive reflex, after repeated many times, this neutral stimulus can also cause that instinctive reflex."

"Well... I know this, but why did you suddenly bring it up?" Su Weiyu seemed to understand.

"This conditioned reflex is not done through thinking. The same is true for aiming in shooting games. Killing the enemy constantly stimulates the brain to secrete dopamine, which eventually forms an instinctive reaction to lock the enemy's head, as well as some subconscious judgments.

Do you know how difficult it is to ride a bicycle? Do you feel that you are riding a bicycle based on your brain's experience or your body's perception?

Su Weiyu thought for a moment and replied, "Both the experience and the body."

"Someone once did an experiment. He adjusted the direction of the handlebars and the steering direction of the front wheel of a bicycle to be opposite. When the handlebars turned left, the wheel would turn right. Then he asked people who could ride a bicycle to ride the modified bicycle. The end result was that it took them several months to learn how to ride the modified bicycle."

Su Weiyu leaned against the ice, stroking her chin and lost in thought. The more she listened, the more confused she became.

Xia Shou continued, "It's just a matter of changing the handlebars. In theory, you only need to do some manipulation to establish the correct methodology, but it is very difficult to do in practice because human neuroplasticity, or habits and instincts, are very strong and stubborn."

"No...I don't quite understand." Su Weiyu shook her head.

"Then let me verify it for you personally."

Xia Shou unzipped his mirror coat, took out a dagger, and pretended to use the dagger to cut the ice next to him. The next second, he suddenly stabbed the dagger into his own neck!
Su Weiyu's expression suddenly changed, and she subconsciously stretched out her hand, blocking the tip of the knife with her palm, allowing the dagger to pierce through her palm.

"What are you doing!" She stared at Xia Shou in surprise, her face full of confusion.

Xia Shou smiled instead.

"That's it. You see, you protected me without even thinking about it. Now I'm in a flashback state, and it doesn't matter if I die, but you still subconsciously helped me block it... Is this because of the emotions given to you by those memories, or is it a deeper habit and instinct?"

Su Weiyu's eyes lit up and she understood a little.

She really didn't think about it. If she had, she wouldn't have taken action.

"If a mother is asked to distinguish between her two children, then by setting up a sudden choice between two options, the mother will definitely be able to find the one that belongs to her.

Many things are buried deeper than memories, such as the sense of security of having your cat's neck clamped when it grows up, the comfort of meaningless stepping on milk...some things will be imprinted in places that you can't find with your thoughts and reason." Xia Shou said.

Su Weiyu was completely convinced by this theory.

She thought it made so much sense!
But... Xia Shou's approach was too extreme. It could obviously be explained clearly without using this method!

Su Weiyu endured the severe pain and pulled the dagger out of her palm, complaining bitterly: "It would be better to just say no to this kind of reason. Why do you suddenly do this kind of test? What if I didn't extend my hand? The opportunity to go back to the original state would be wasted... It hurts me to death."

"I'm sorry...Wei Yu." Xia Shou looked at Su Wei Yu and apologized sincerely, with all his emotions compressed in his eyes, "But now I'm finally at ease." Su Wei Yu was stunned, and suddenly understood.

Then she showed her white teeth and said with a grin, "Now you know I'm real! Don't worry!"

"I just remembered something. A while ago, we had a barbecue and got drunk. You slept in my dormitory. Do you remember?"

"Uh... remember, what's wrong?"

Su Weiyu slightly shifted her gaze. After she woke up that day, she hugged Xia Shou's pillow and smelled it for a long time.

But this shouldn't be discovered, right?
"I brought you breakfast, but forgot to bring one for Ling Xiao." Xia Shou raised his head, thoughtfully.

"No way? Do you think Ling Xiao is fake? He just forgot to bring breakfast once, that's not the case!"

"That's what my logic tells me. This kind of thing can't be used as evidence. Ling Xiao can't be a fake.

And even if we can use this method to identify the fakes around us, what about the other teams?
We were not familiar with each other and had never met before this mission." Xia Shou said.

Su Weiyu nodded solemnly.

This is indeed a problem.

"So I have to abandon reason and let my second self, who relies purely on instinct, make the choice for me." Xia Shou looked at his palm and frowned. "Although I don't know how successful this plan is, this is the only solution I can think of now... We don't have much time."

[Second Self: Blood Demon Mode] is the state after death where one relies on instinct to execute the last obsession before death.

Perhaps it can help filter out all the counterfeits.

However, difficulties also arise from this. Once he chooses this method, it means that he will have to fight everyone alone.

Not only No. 58 and Lin Tiandong, but also Baihe, Lingxiao, and Kirigakure Goro.

Whether the Blood Demon Mode can handle so many people is a question mark.

[Swallowing completed, you gain a one-time skill - [Magic Cube]]

"Sure enough, it's impossible to identify everyone by shadows."

Xia Shou took a deep breath, readjusted his mentality, and his eyes became firm again: "Then let's carry out the last plan."

"Is there really a chance of winning?" Su Weiyu asked worriedly.

"With you, there's a chance of winning!"

In Blood Demon Mode, he can unlock skills such as [Pseudo Blood Demon], [Perpetual Damage], [Blood Terror Revolver], and [Flesh and Blood Swamp].

However, because his abnormal level is too low, he cannot use [Reach the Pinnacle in No One] in that state, so the skill of continuous damage is equivalent to nothing, and the "Crystallized Explosion" effect of Blood Terror Revolver will not take effect.

As a result, the combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

You can't win everyone over just by doing this.

"I must become stronger... I must become stronger..."

He remembered that regarding the Blood Terror Revolver, if a certain amount of silver was consumed when constructing the bullet, the power of the bullet could be increased.

If the corresponding fear can be injected, the power will be fully released.

In addition, he also has two memories of powerful men, one belongs to the charred corpse in the Blood Demon's house, and the other belongs to the Blood Demon himself.

Perhaps by experiencing recollection, he could become stronger, but he had tried it several times before, and the results were not ideal. While meditating, he fell asleep and entered the Sea of ​​Origin.
