There are only a few ways that influence the brain, including one's own emotional factors, external stimulation, chemicals, and some energy that affects the brain.
His own emotional factors can be ruled out. Although Li Xiu is trapped here, his emotions are very stable and there are few things that can cause his emotions to fluctuate abnormally.
As for external stimulation, there is nothing that can stimulate him so far. There is nothing in the room, and there will be no donkey to hit him on the head. It is just a simple environmental factor, which basically cannot affect Li Xiu.
Chemical agents, Li Xiu was not sure about this. There were a lot of gases that were difficult for human eyes to distinguish. It was very likely that he could not see them at all. Now he had no sense of touch or smell, so it would be difficult for him to discover them.
The last one is the most difficult to detect. If there is some kind of magnetic field, energy resonance, or radiation affecting his brain, he doesn't feel anything at the moment, so this is also difficult to detect.
Li Xiu carefully thought about the information he knew. The child with cerebral palsy survived, but his condition deteriorated rapidly within three days. However, the child with cerebral palsy did not say that he had spent a long time in there.
Of course, by then he was also unable to speak and couldn’t even move his fingers.
The madman said that he had been in this room for a long time, whether it was a few years or even a hundred years, but it was definitely not three days.
And what Li Xiu is experiencing now, his senses have disappeared and only his visual function remains.
Li Xiu was probably certain that there must be some force affecting his brain, and there was something wrong with his brain, so he had no feeling.
If the brain was affected and made the madman feel like many years had passed, then why did everyone else die and only he was alive?
Why did the child with cerebral palsy survive, but those trial-takers with strong mental powers failed to survive?
Why did the madman keep counting? He was very scared when he was counting, so scared that he didn't dare to make a mistake. Even when he counted to more than 100 million, he still didn't make a mistake despite Li Xiu's interference.
Li Xiu pondered all this, thinking about all the possible connections.
According to Mu Yu's confession, the child with cerebral palsy suffered brain damage, which affected the functions of his body. His body would gradually be out of the control of the brain, starting with the facial muscles, then the mouth and eyes, then the language functions, and finally his whole body would be paralyzed.
If a child with such brain damage is really invaded by some energy that affects the brain, he should not be able to get out.
But his condition worsened and he went out.
Li Xiu suddenly thought of a possibility. Perhaps this so-called trial had no end to time at all. The time that their brains perceived was deliberately distorted, creating an infinite loop of time in their brains.
Those whose brains are affected will be trapped in an endless time loop, which means that as long as they do not commit suicide, the trial will never end.
The reason why the child with cerebral palsy was able to get out alive is because his brain itself was damaged, which affected certain functions of the brain, making this endless cycle of time that only affects the brain no longer valid.
So he got out alive, not because he was better than others, but because his brain was defective.
However, because of the influence of that energy, his already damaged brain was damaged even more seriously, which is why he became completely paralyzed.
This has already illustrated a very important issue. That kind of energy is only the key to unlocking the brain's time loop. What really traps people in time is their own brain.
But what about that madman? His brain is not sick or damaged. Theoretically, it is impossible for him to break the time loop in his brain.
When Li Xiu thought of this, an idea suddenly occurred to him: "Could it be that he discovered the problem of brain time loop and thought of a way to break it? He didn't damage his own brain, so this method would definitely not work, because he doesn't know which part of the brain needs to be damaged to break the brain time loop. If he's not careful, he might kill himself. Even if he doesn't die, becoming cerebral palsy is not much different from being dead."
"The method he used should be related to the numbers he counted, but counting can break the brain's time loop, which is too simple." Li Xiu felt that it should not be a problem of numbers. The madman should be counting in order to achieve a certain purpose.
"What exactly is he trying to achieve?" Li Xiu pondered this question.
He knew that if he couldn't figure out this problem, he would be trapped here forever, for a hundred years, a thousand years, or even ten thousand years. As long as he was still alive and didn't commit suicide, he would continue the trial forever.
His brain made his perception of time almost still. No matter how much time he felt had passed, for those outside the gates of Purgatory, not much time had passed.
One can imagine how painful it is for those who take part in the trial. Being trapped for a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand years in a place where there is no time, no anything, and even no feeling, what a horror that is.
Someone once did an experiment whereby if a person stayed in an absolutely quiet room for a period of time, he would receive a considerable sum of money, enough for a poor person to not have to worry about his livelihood for several years.
However, many people were invited to participate in the experiment, but in the end no one could last until the specified time of the experiment. It is difficult for normal humans to adapt to absolute loneliness.
Li Xiu forgot how long the experiment lasted, but it was definitely less than a year, maybe only a month or even shorter.
Human beings cannot endure such a short period of time. Is there anyone who can endure it for thousands or tens of thousands of years?
Even if he could endure it, there were still hundreds of thousands or hundreds of millions of years left. When he found out that he would never be able to finish the trial, the despair and fear he felt was simply unimaginable.
An empty room is more terrifying than any physically dangerous test. It challenges the limits of human spirit.
There is no third choice: die or stay here forever.
Li Xiu has been counting silently from the beginning until now, but he still hasn't found that counting is of any help to the current situation.
It is certain that he cannot get out just by counting. There are things he does not know.
"Why does that madman want to count? What does he want to do? Most people can't remember such a long number, and there will definitely be mistakes in the continuous counting. My spiritual sense is too strong, and I have the talent of absolute order, so I can count without any mistakes. How did he do it? Could it be that he is born with a strong spiritual sense like me? Then he should have been a famous magic costume master long ago, so why was he sent here to be cannon fodder?" Li Xiu was stunned when he thought of this.
He found that he had overlooked a problem. Counting was too easy for him, but it was definitely not easy for a normal person.
The madman is just an ordinary person, but he has done the same thing as Li Xiu. Can his brain bear it?
Maybe now, but it may not have been possible before.
"Could it be that he used this method to drive himself crazy?" Li Xiu thought about it and it seemed that this was the only possibility.
In other words, it is not called madness, but the madman forces himself to be absolutely focused, and the brain no longer engages in any other thought activities except numbers.
When he is absolutely focused and completely abandons other thinking activities, the time loop completed by his brain will naturally stop working.
So the madman also went out, but because of his absolute concentration, his mind was imprisoned in those numbers.
No matter how others disturb him, no matter what happens around him, he will not count wrong, so theoretically speaking, he is not crazy, but his thinking is imprisoned by himself.
Li Xiu found it hard to imagine how far a person had to go to be able to completely stop thinking about anything and remain in a state of absolute concentration.
Although Li Xiu knew the method of the madman to break the brain time loop, he couldn't do it. It must be said that the madman himself was a genius, a somewhat crazy genius.
If you ask Li Xiu to multitask, he can do many different things at the same time and do them in an orderly manner, but he really can't be absolutely focused.
This was the advantage of having too strong spiritual awareness, but now it has become a disadvantage.
Of course, Li Xiu had no intention of using this method. He didn't want to restrict his own thinking and turn himself into a madman who only knew how to count.
However, judging from the madman's condition, his thinking is slowly recovering, but no one knows when he will be able to completely break free of his self-imprisonment.
"Although I can't achieve absolute concentration, it doesn't mean that I can't stimulate my brain." Li Xiu looked at his fingers and activated the super stimulation skill.
The S-rank super-stimulating skill can double his physical fitness, while also having the effect of paralyzing the enemy.
However, when using this skill, his own body will also suffer from the pain of electric shock.
Although Li Xiu doesn't feel any pain now, this stimulation has an effect on the whole body, naturally including the brain.
When Li Xiu used the super stimulation this time, he did not feel the same pain as before, but his body was shaking uncontrollably.
The super stimulation has been taking effect, but Li Xiu still doesn't feel anything.
Seeing his body shaking more and more violently, his hairs seemed to curl up and look a little burnt, Li Xiu quickly stopped.
"No way? It seems that only the method of mind stimulation can achieve the goal of breaking the brain's time loop without damaging the brain." Li Xiu was a little disappointed. He knew that it would be useful to continue, but he didn't dare to go on. If he continued, it would not be a matter of brain damage, but he would have to go directly to the West to see the Buddha.
If he really saw the Buddha, and the Buddha asked him how he died, what would he say? I stimulated myself to death? And it was super stimulating?
Li Xiu felt that this was a bit inappropriate, and since he was not a believer, he probably wouldn't be able to see the Buddha.
"Using my brain to trap myself is indeed quite creative. Let's give it a try and see who has the final say in this brain." Li Xiu took a deep breath, calmed his stimulated mood, and then slowly closed his eyes.
What is the most important thing for a magic costume master? Of course, it is the brain. Without a strong brain and mental power, how can one control such a complex magic costume?
The magic suit is not a machine. It is not as simple as pressing the keyboard, turning the steering wheel, and changing gears. It is controlled by the brain.
It can be said that the magic suit is equivalent to the magic suit master's second body, and the only organ shared with the real body is the brain.
The more powerful the magician, the stronger the mental power of the brain. The so-called spiritual consciousness is actually the external manifestation of the mental power of the brain.
There are not many people who have the talent of a magic armor master. It is good enough to have a few out of a thousand people. However, there are billions of people in the world. No matter how rare magic armor masters are, some S-level magic armor masters can still be found.
At least every year, there are one hundred S-level magicians on the magician ranking list.
Among so many magic armor masters, why is it that only Li Xiu has topped the list for three consecutive years? The previous magic armor masters rarely occupied the top spot continuously, and it was rare to top the list twice in a row.
There are also magic costume masters who make the list again after a few years, but Li Xiu is the only one who has won three consecutive championships, and there is no second one.
The deepest reason why those magic armor masters did not win three consecutive championships was that their spiritual consciousness was unstable.
Spiritual consciousness is actually the mental power of the brain. The mental power of the brain is not equal to intelligence, and it is easily affected by fluctuations in thoughts.
Love, hate, separation, sorrow, joy and sadness can all affect the strength of spiritual consciousness and cause it to fluctuate greatly.
Therefore, there are very few magic armor masters who are in the peak state of spiritual awareness every year. They are often defeated by magic armor masters with similar spiritual awareness strength, similar magic armor control skills, and better conditions.
But in the final analysis, it was because their brains and mental power were not strong enough to surpass their opponents to a higher level.
Li Xiu has none of the above two factors that lead to failure.
His spiritual consciousness never fluctuates, because his absolute order allows him to absolutely control his spiritual consciousness to the degree he wants. As long as he doesn't want it to fluctuate, his spiritual consciousness will be as straight as a horizontal line.
As for the strength of his spiritual consciousness, up to now, Li Xiu himself doesn’t know how strong his spiritual consciousness is.
Because when the spiritual consciousness reaches a certain level, it cannot get stronger, as if there is a ceiling. The reason why the spiritual consciousness of those S-level magic equipment masters is so close is because their spiritual consciousness has reached that line and cannot get stronger, so everyone is about the same, whoever is in better condition has a chance to win.
But Li Xiu can cross those lines and continue to increase the strength of his spiritual awareness.
But every time he crossed that line, Li Xiu would feel very uncomfortable, not physically, but psychologically.
After crossing that line, Li Xiu felt that his emotions seemed to be becoming weaker and weaker, and he had no interest in anything. Sometimes even Li Xiu himself felt like a robot, becoming less and less human.
Fortunately, there is no magic equipment in this world that requires him to break through that line before it can be activated, so Li Xiu rarely crosses the line.
But today is different. Li Xiu must break the time loop in his brain and get himself out of here.
When Li Xiu closed his eyes, it seemed as if a string in his brain broke.
The next second, Li Xiu opened his eyes, but the black pupils of his eyes, which were clearly black and white, were no longer visible, leaving only the white eyeballs.
What's even more strange is that a thin white line appeared between his eyebrows, as if there was a faint light coming through the bones under the skin.
If you don't look carefully, you might think he has a closed vertical eye with white light on his forehead.
Although his eyes were dull, Li Xiu could clearly see everything in the room. Even the feeling he had lost before returned to his body. However, this time he was staring at the room without any emotion, and his expression did not change at all.
Then, as soon as the thought came to mind, time seemed to begin to pass rapidly.
Of course, this passage of time is just a feeling in the brain. Time is not accelerated, but Li Xiu himself feels that time is accelerated.
After breaking through that line, Li Xiu already felt that something was wrong with his brain.
There was some deviation from his previous judgment. It was not an infinite brain time loop, but the brain's sense of time was like someone pressed the slow-motion button to a huge multiple.
So one second seemed like a very long time in his brain.
Since the trial slowed down the flow of time perceived by his brain, he could just speed up the flow of time perceived by his brain, which would naturally offset the impact of the trial on him.
Li Xiu adjusted his brain's sense of time to normal, but still did not see the prompt that the trial was over, so he sped it up a little bit.
In Li Xiu's brain, it felt like just a blink of an eye, but in reality three days had passed. The light screen finally reappeared, announcing the end of the S-level trial and the random generation was in progress.
Li Xiu made a rough calculation and concluded that if he followed the brain's concept of time during the trial, he would probably have to endure three hundred million years in here.
Li Xiu didn’t know if anyone could survive 300 million years without going crazy or committing suicide. He himself had no interest in enduring 300 million years here in vain.
The reward appeared on the light screen. Unexpectedly, it was clearly an S-level trial, but there was only one reward on the light screen.
Admission ticket. Such a difficult S-level trial only has one admission ticket as a reward.
Li Xiu had adjusted his brain's time perception to a normal state, his spiritual consciousness gradually became weaker, the black pupils in his eyes returned, and the white line between his eyebrows disappeared. His body seemed to have returned to normal, but his expression was a little cold, he didn't care if there were any other rewards, he directly chose the admission ticket reward, an admission ticket was enough for him, he came here just for this admission ticket.
The half-red and half-blue admission ticket was projected in front of Li Xiu, turning into a whirlpool and sucking Li Xiu in.
There were copper lamps and stone tables, but no metal coffins. It seemed that only the Haitian Trial Field had metal coffins. No metal coffins had been seen in other trial fields.
Through the Dark Mirror, Li Xiu clearly saw that there was another thing on the stone table. When he saw the appearance of that thing, Li Xiu couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
