Chapter 77 Cognition is Overwritten
Chapter 77 Cognition is Overwritten
"According to the student code, in this case, the school area should be twisted and stretched in an unreasonable way... These phenomena should occur with the falling of the layers."
"In fact, in my opinion, these phenomena should still be within the scope of what can be recorded in words."
When Lin Yi heard this, his pupils trembled slightly.
"Information that cannot be recorded in words..."
He thought of two pieces of information!
[Tomato is the heart] and [Tomato is the plasma].
When he wrote down these two pieces of information on the note, he suffered a strong and suffocating backlash - he was almost killed by the information he wrote.
Tian Bufan glanced at him and continued:
"Within the scope of this campus, there is a lot of information that cannot be recorded in words. The information that cannot be carried by words hides secrets that are devastating and beyond reality and cognition."
Lin Yi questioned in a deep voice: "But, since this information can't even be recorded, why can we pass it on by word of mouth?"
"No, Lao Lin, you are wrong." Tian Bufan denied, "When information that cannot be recorded can be passed on by word of mouth, it has already lost its attribute of 'frustrating and indescribable'."
“???” A look of confusion appeared in Lin Yi’s eyes.
Tian Bufan said: "Since you are so confused, let me have a brief talk with you first."
"Take the phenomenon of the stretching and twisting of the campus, for example..."
"What was your first reaction when you first read this in the Student Code?"
“Is it the self-doubt and denial of ‘I am hallucinating’ or ‘I am seeing things’? Especially when the last rule in the student code mentions dizziness, headache, and physical discomfort, it almost guides our thinking in this direction?”
"But what is the reality? We are not hallucinating at all. The campus is twisting and stretching. Of course, this phenomenon must be accompanied by the prerequisite of 'abnormal weather'."
"But despite this, your thoughts went from 'I am hallucinating' to 'there is indeed a problem with the school district'... What kind of process do you think this is?"
Lin Yi was sweating profusely. Under Tian Bufan's guidance, he had grasped some inspiration, but he couldn't tell exactly what the inspiration was.
He just felt that there was a very vague thing floating in front of his eyes. He could catch it in his hand if he just stretched out his hand, but he didn't have the strength to stretch out his hand.
He thought of what Tian Bufan had told him in the gymnasium: "There is no 'why', no 'how', only 'it is'."
"So..." He pondered, "This is a process where cognition is overturned?"
"'Cognition is overturned'?" Tian Bufan looked at him with interest, a faint smile on his face, "From your current level of thinking, it's good to think of this."
"But the truth is much more horrible than this."
Tian Bufan narrowed his eyes, and his tone turned cold, chilling:
“Because cognition has never been overturned, but directly covered.”
"Or rather...overwrite."
"Cognition is not overturned, but covered."
The moment Tian Bufan enlightened him, he saw the vague inspiration clearly, but he was also sweating profusely.
Human cognition can actually be overwritten...? !
"Humans... to put it bluntly, they are just a kind of carbon-based life with some intelligence."
"In the face of the vast universe and higher dimensions, we are actually no different from a speck of dust."
"A frog in a well looks at the sky from the bottom of the well. Aren't we just another frog?"
"We can silently overwrite the programs of electronic devices, and we can also silently have our thoughts overwritten by other beings. We can even... just use an inconspicuous symbol from the upper civilization to wipe out the walls and fortresses that we have painstakingly built."
"It's like when you're drinking cold drinks in the summer and accidentally drop a drop, that one drop is enough to destroy a group of ants."
"That's getting off topic." Tian Bufan looked out the window. At that moment, dark clouds covered the moon, and mist was rising. The gloomy sky was so depressing that it seemed as if someone had pulled it down to a lower level.
"The people who made the rules knew this, but they couldn't pass it on through conventional means, so they could only write the rules in this almost Riddler-like way."
“That’s what the student code is about.”
"But the student code only applies to those who know nothing."
Lin Yi asked doubtfully: "For example... Liangzi?"
"Haha." Tian Bufan smiled but did not delve into the topic. Instead, he continued, "The student code is for the general public, and what can be written in it is very limited."
"To be frank, every word in the student code was revised countless times before it was implemented."
"It should be able to make anyone who sees it accept the information without any 'rejection' reaction."
"You can see this?" Lin Yi asked in surprise.
"You can't see this?" Tian Bufan asked back.
"Uh..." Lin Yi was speechless, and a deep female voice sounded in his mind: "You have been slained!"
"But for someone like you who is highly inspired, the ambiguous part of the student code, coupled with the thought-inducing factors in this campus, the effect of the sum of these two being greater than the sum of their parts is fatal..."
Lin Yi thought about the thrilling night he had spent yesterday and fell silent.
Tian Bufan continued: "However, just like this thread, your 'adaptability' is also our only advantage."
Lin Yi looked at the intersecting "√" and "——" on the table. At this time, Tian Bufan's finger was on the front half of the "√" and was slowly moving towards the valley.
"When you get through this stage and the status changes from 'negative' to 'positive', we will be in a different position of offense and defense."
"'Attack and defense are in different positions'?" Lin Yi's eyes were filled with deep doubts, "Isn't it... we attack and defend? How come it's 'attack and defense are in different positions'? Wait, wasn't it your idea to explore the campus? I came here just... just..."
He said "just" for a long time, but the words "in order to raise 30,000 yuan for grandma's medical expenses" seemed to become so unfamiliar at this moment that he couldn't even say it out loud.
Wei Liang carefully poked his eyes out from under the pillow and looked at Lin Yi with extremely complicated and worried expressions.
Tian Bufan raised his eyebrows slightly, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Even Kuai Hongji, who had no sense of existence, was looking at Lin Yi with his arms folded at this moment. There was a hint of expectation in his cold eyes, as if he was waiting for Lin Yi to say the next words.
"It's just... just for 30,000 yuan." Lin Yi gripped the edge of the bed tightly, veins popping out on the back of his hands. It seemed that he had used up all his strength to say this.
Kuai Hongji couldn't help but reveal a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
"Damn!" Wei Shan's low roar was heard in the bathroom. It was unclear whether he slipped on the soap.
Wei Liang retracted his head silently.
"Really? Haha..." Tian Bufan ended the topic with one sentence, "30,000 yuan is 30,000 yuan." "We went too far just now... Let's gather our thoughts and continue talking about this issue."
He pointed to two overlapping threads.
“Now, they are back to representing the state of the layer on campus.”
"We entered the campus in a 'negative state', so we were exposed to things beyond our cognition in advance, and Maozi was separated from us because of this."
"Remember the twisting and stretching we talked about earlier?"
"These abnormal phenomena appear as the layers fall. We can assume that the changes in the campus layers are 'visible' to a certain extent. And how much we can see and how much we can see is determined by our inspiration."
"Ordinary people can't see too much, so they can only memorize the rules and strictly limit themselves to the yellow line formed by the rules, so as to form the most basic self-protection."
"For them, that's enough to know."
"Because, when the yellow line of the rules can no longer protect them, no matter what they do, they cannot avoid the end."
"But for us, knowing this is far from enough."
"We are more inspired than ordinary people, we see far more than them, and we are influenced far more than them. They can anchor themselves with rules, but we can't."
"Our yellow line of rules will fluctuate like this line. We need to understand the logic of some fluctuations so that we can get out of the situation safely when we realize the problem."
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes, as if thinking about something.
In fact, he also understood this point, but he did not see it as clearly as Tian Bufan.
Others can just memorize “1+1=2”, but he, Lin Yi, can’t.
因为他不只会遇到1+1=2的情况，还会遇到1+2的情况，所以他必须要拆分出2=1+1，这样才能够在面对1+2的时候有一战之力，甚至于以后面对2+2、2+3的时候，不至于攥着那条“1+1=2”的基础规则坐以待毙。
It is no exaggeration to say that the time left for him to comprehend "1+1=2" is very short. It is so short that since he entered the campus yesterday, he has been subconsciously risking his life to comprehend the rule, but it is still a little late.
It's not a question of time at all.
This is a man-made problem.
Just as the head teacher said, people with high inspiration should not be allowed in through the company's (or school's) screening mechanism. This itself is a big problem.
He didn't know what the problem was, but it was obvious that he was a problem now.
In fact, it's not just him, Tian Bufan and the others all seem to be problematic.
Since you are a problem element, you cannot stick to the old ways.
This is what Tian Bufan wanted to tell Lin Yi, and it is also something he could not tell Lin Yi in the gym.
At the end of the day, gyms aren’t safe enough.
Lin Yi now understood this.
And these things were just expanded by Tian Bufan when he was proving his point that [the layer of S City University is fluctuating].
"But I have another question." Tian Bufan lowered his voice, causing Lin Yi to start thinking, "Abnormal weather will lower the campus layer, but... I still can't determine what the bottom line of the campus layer is?"
"In other words, all the known conditions are not enough to support my calculation..." Tian Bufan put his finger on the bottom of the "√", "what the campus will look like when it completely falls into another layer."
What Tian Bufan said made Lin Yi's pupils tremble: "Is this what Master Tian is thinking about? This... is actually so much ahead of me?!"
"Of course, this involves another issue...the issue of abnormal weather," Tian Bufan continued.
"S City University is located in a mountainous area, and due to its geographical factors, the mountainous area has weather problems such as fog and rainfall."
"I have a problem that I have figured out, and I'll show it to you."
Tian Bufan glanced at him and felt as if he was a student testing each other.
"Old Lin, you said... the 'fog' that caused the layer of the campus to fall is the same as the 'fog' in the mountains?"
Lin Yi: “?!”
Fog...is it the same kind of fog?
"this……"
Lin Yi was stunned again and again. He was still shocked by Tian Bufan's previous argument, and now he couldn't even make any judgment on this issue.
But his mind quickly started to work rapidly, and he Ma Shan thought of the black sun in another layer.
The black sun obviously does not exist on the surface of the world, so if we deduce from this, the fog in abnormal weather may not be the fog of this world at all!
"etc……"
"Sea breeze and fog...?"
"This...? That's right!" Lin Yi suddenly woke up and said, "This is not the same kind of fog!"
Tian Bufan smiled faintly: "Tell me about it."
Lin Yi nodded and said, "It is clearly written in the rules that the gymnasium is a closed environment, and the dormitory building is also a closed environment, so under normal circumstances, there will indeed be no fog in these two places - the fog here refers to the mountain fog within the campus."
"But if the gymnasium and the dormitory building itself are also on campus, then when it becomes foggy, it means it is falling into another layer!"
"The fog from another layer has penetrated through the layers into the layer we are in!"
"So, they are not the same kind of fog... Wait! Does this mean that when it gets dark, the fog in the mountains appears first, and then another layer of fog appears?"
Tian Bufan shrugged his shoulders: "I don't know, I can't tell the difference yet."
“Perhaps even the people who make the rules can’t tell the difference.”
"Or perhaps the method of distinction cannot be recorded."
"If you don't understand these difficult-to-record information through reasoning, and you know the answer first and then work backwards, it's easy to get carried away."
Lin Yi nodded slightly.
If he knew how to distinguish fog, then every time he saw fog, he might subconsciously distinguish whether it was "mountain fog" or "fog of another layer", which could easily distort his own cognition.
"There is one last thing left to say about the layer problem at S City University."
Tian Bufan's fingers tapped lightly on the table.
"Regarding...the question of how to leave the campus."
