Chapter 637 Do you want to wait for her?

The voice was old and hoarse, as if the other party had not used his vocal cords to speak for a long time. The tone of pronunciation was extremely strange, like childish and confused, but also with a bit of clarity, just like an old woman speaking with the tone of a young girl...

pat- pat-

The next moment, the sound of mopping the floor was still heard. At the end of the flashlight's sight in the corridor, the old lady who was hidden in the darkness moved in an orderly manner. While asking questions, she did not stop moving her hands.

Seeing this scene, Qin Shang widened his eyes. In such a corridor that seemed nothing special, but he experienced a series of strange things one after another when he walked into it, no matter what appeared, it was obvious that it could pose a danger to Qin Shang.

But now, he has clearly confirmed one thing, that is, the Jiang Qiqi he saw in the illusion just now was most likely because of the recorder...

Perhaps it was because his consciousness was hypnotized and he even saw hallucinations in front of his eyes. This recorder with its independent self-awareness noticed that something was wrong with Qin Shang.

So, a recording of Jiang Qiqi was automatically played...

"Do you want to respond to her?"

The next moment, this thought flashed through Qin Shang’s mind and he looked towards the end of the corridor.

He hesitated for a moment. According to Shenlu's nature, he was probably dragged into some kind of illusion as part of this so-called interview test.

Then if the test is not over, the content of the test will definitely maintain a certain pattern.

For example, first arouse his deep inner fear and desire for survival, and then make him give up this single-player side quest. It is necessary to continuously deepen the psychological suggestion, suggesting that he is a waste and that he has no ability to fight against the weirdness in the copy, and then make him see the ghost things he has seen in other copies, or horror scenes.

This is in line with the principle of illusion.

Because the source of the hallucination actually comes from Qin Shang's subconscious mind. He will not fabricate a scene that he has never experienced, nor will he imagine a strange form that he has never seen.

Because the latter may not necessarily scare Qin Shang after appearing.

In fact, Qin Shang still subconsciously has some fear about the experiences of the "Death Train", the "Changteng Ghost School" and the "Lin House No. 37".

After all, I had suffered psychological trauma when I faced those things back then. The fear and terror at that time were real.

That’s why it’s aroused, and that’s why it serves the purpose of making oneself afraid to retreat.

It's like people can't make up lies beyond their cognition...

You let a person who was expelled from elementary school because of fighting establish his own personality and tell others about it after he becomes an adult.

In fact, I dropped out of school because my family was poor and I wanted to go out and work to earn money to support my family. That’s why I chose to give up studying. However, my academic performance was always very good, and I only dropped out of high school.

Assuming the above situation, someone has woven a lie and created a persona like this.

In fact, it is easy to be exposed in minutes.

Because for people who have not attended junior high school, even if they have friends with people who are highly educated, those people will rarely have in-depth discussions with them about junior high school knowledge points and some procedures for the high school entrance examination.

So this kind of lie can be easily exposed after a few encounters. For example, the contents of acids, bases and salts in the first volume of junior high school chemistry are widely used in life.

Anyone who is a good student will basically be unlikely to object when encountering certain special situations, such as drinking too much and feeling uncomfortable in the stomach the next day, and someone brings him soda water and claims that it will make him feel better.

After all, we all know what a neutralization reaction is.

However, in the above situation, if the person is a primary school dropout, he or she will most likely hold his or her stomach and ask in confusion, why can drinking baking soda relieve the sour and bloating in the stomach?

He has never learned chemistry, but he only knows that junior high school students will study physics, chemistry, biology, history, geography, politics, Chinese, mathematics and English. It is impossible for him to have this knowledge that he has not learned in his subconscious.

So he doesn't understand how the stomachache caused by drinking alcohol is necessarily related to drinking soda water after drinking.

This kind of people can only deceive fools at most. It is easy for highly educated people to deceive those with lower education. For example, it is easy for people who have attended some fake universities abroad to fool those who have never been abroad.

But it is difficult to meet someone who has actually attended a prestigious foreign university.

On the other hand, it is very difficult for people with low education to deceive people with high education. It may be a bit impolite to describe this as cognitive bias or dimensionality reduction, but this is actually the case.

Just like the real scammers in real life, most of them understand the law, even better than some police officers.

For example, the process of the police dispatch by the Public Security Bureau, and how to circumvent the problem of fraud by disguising a sum of money as an ordinary private loan relationship. The scammers are very authoritative in this regard.

The process is also simple. The parties are lured into being deceived in the name of investment, but then the other party is actively guided to sign a loan contract and promise in the contract that they recognize the above-mentioned interest. Even if this interest is actually no longer protected by law, many parties will think that the other party has actively requested to sign the contract and acknowledged the financial transaction relationship, and subconsciously believe that the other party is a good citizen who understands and abides by the law.

He simply needed a sum of money and had no other source of funds, so he spontaneously offered a high interest rate in return, hoping to get financial assistance.

This is when things get bad.

Because the other party probably has no intention of returning it...

When you go to the police station to report the case, the police will tell you directly that since there is a contract, the contract is signed by you, and both parties recognize the terms and conditions in the contract, then what you have is a simple private loan relationship, and it has nothing to do with criminal acts such as fraud.

There is only one word difference between cheating and borrowing money, but the qualitative difference between them is a world of difference...

Borrowing money is a civil case and needs to be prosecuted in court.

After the lawsuit is filed, if the other party has no repayment ability and no assets, the most that can be done by the court is restrictions on high consumption and travel by airplanes, high-speed trains, trains, etc.

But it does not say that people are not allowed to go out with vehicles under other people's names. In other words, as long as he has friends or relatives, and the other party has reached some kind of interest transaction with him and is willing to help him, he can still live a free and easy life.

It's impossible that a owes you money, and is now traveling in b's car, and then the court will seize and freeze b's car, right?

First of all, this is unreasonable, as the funds transaction occurs between the parties involved and a.

b is just a friend or relative of a, and the court has no reason to seize b's assets.

Secondly, this is illegal. You can't say that because you suspect that A and B have a vested interest in each other, B is willing to let A use his car, so you apply to seal up B's assets...

To put it bluntly, you should go after whoever has had financial transactions with you.

However, ordinary people are really helpless when facing a deadbeat debtor. He has already made a foolproof plan. As long as he admits the loan relationship, you can't get him any help. At most, you can only negotiate for repayment.

If the other party is unable to repay, you are still helpless.

The court cannot impose a strong enforcement procedure on him, this is the amazing thing about the scammers who know the law...

So, hooligans are not scary, what is scary is hooligans with culture.

If he wanted to give up during this interview, he would have to use the memories that Qin Shang had encountered, feared, and terrified...

Thinking of this, Qin Shang pondered for a moment, countless chaotic thoughts flashed through his mind, and finally he pursed his lips and chose to respond.

"Hello, what's the name of the old lady you mentioned? If you know her name, I can try to help you contact her, or do you know where she is now..."

The main reason for responding to her was that Qin Shang didn't think this was in line with Shenlu's operation.

If everything he saw in the illusion was an illusion, then something that had once brought him fear in his subconscious mind would definitely appear.

There was an old lady mopping the floor at the end of the corridor. Qin Shang searched his memory but had no recollection of being bullied by the old lady.

no…

To be honest, what's so scary about this look?

The flashlight shook, and the old lady raised her hands to cover her eyes, as if her eyes were really dazzled by the flashlight. She was just an ordinary old woman.

If there is no pattern, then it is very likely that this is not the illusion just now...

According to this logic, it means that the scene in front of us is not an illusion. If it is not an illusion, the person appearing in front of us is most likely an NPC!

This is an NPC in a corridor...

Thinking of this, Qin Shang narrowed his eyes.

The next moment, the old lady with a very strange tone opened her mouth awkwardly and spoke vaguely.

"I don't know her either. I just accompanied my classmate to the bathroom, but my classmate disappeared."

After she finished the first sentence, she suddenly became excited, and her tone was aggrieved. She didn't look as calm and old as her age, but she sounded like a young girl. "That night, I accompanied my roommate to the upper bunk to go to the bathroom, but I didn't see her when I came out. I thought I would wait at the door for a while, maybe she would come out. As a result, I didn't know how long I waited. At that time, there was an old lady mopping the floor in the bathroom. I thought she might have seen someone, so I asked her, have you seen another little girl with long hair?"

"She said no, and asked me, 'Do you want to wait for her here?' I thought about it and said yes, because I thought my roommate didn't come out. As a result, I have stayed here until now."

"At that time, she said, 'Please help me mop the floor for a while, and then go back when your roommate comes out. But my roommate never showed up again...'"

The old lady in front of him spoke in a crying voice, but her words made Qin Shang feel like he was struck by lightning and evoked a sense of familiarity.
