Chapter 200 Unknown is Fear

   "Do you feel it?"

   asked 042 during the march, he was standing at the forefront of the team, and the strong armor would be the toughest shield.

   "Well, and it's getting deeper." 016 replied, she knew exactly what 042 was talking about, the emotion of fear.

  For some reason, the fog in the valley became thicker and denser, the vision was severely suppressed, and the visible distance was short and pitiful, and in this, the demon hunters all felt the fear that was constantly rising.

  This is very strange. In the knowledge of the hunting sect, the emotion of fear is the protection of the brain consciousness for itself, warning humans not to approach the unknown that may be dangerous.

  After training, the demon hunters have the ability to suppress their own emotions in order to pursue absolute sanity in front of the monsters, but now there is no erosion of no monsters, but their sanity is gradually being eaten away.

  016 looked at the surrounding fog vigilantly, as if there was something beyond the monsters in this strange fog that was affecting them.

   "011 report situation."

  The gaze of the demon hunter is as bright as a torch, and the power of 011 is Shangda Pian. Although the foreseeable future is very short, in this mysterious situation, one extra minute or one second may be the key to changing the situation of the battle.

  011 regularly activates power to provide early warning for the entire team.

"Safety."

  He answered briefly.

The three of them began to dive into the fog a little bit. With the thick fog, they had difficulty in judging the position, and even the building became blurred in it, as if at some inadvertent moment, they arrived at some unknown. world.

  In fact, it’s almost the same. The entire valley town is closed and completely isolated from the world. It’s not wrong to insist that the world is divided by ordinary people.

   Suddenly there seemed to be a wind surging, and the thick fog was fiddled with by the nameless big hand, and the frantic ashes were rolled up.

  Almost at this moment, the rusty long knife cut away the mist, and it was stained with disgusting blood. The target was 016.

"carefully!"

  Shangda’s power has played its due role at this moment. 011 may not have time to remind others, but this does not hinder his actions, the nails swayed, and the sudden attack was blocked.

  The cooperation between the demon hunters was revealed at this moment. At the same moment as the metal screamed, 042 wielded the nail sword. He had the strongest armor on his body, and he didn't care about the danger hidden in the fog.

  The nail sword was raised high above the head, and then fell suddenly, like the sword of death.

Power is surging and skyrocketing. Many times the demon hunters are not efficient at killing the enemy, or they choose according to different situations. Most demon hunters leave cruel wounds on the enemy, as if they are torturing the enemy. But in fact, this is not a psychopath or a bad taste, it is just to make the enemy fearful.

  Injecting fear into the enemy’s mind is more terrifying than defeating the enemy.

  Many ordinary people who fought against the demon hunters were not killed by the demon hunters. Instead, they lost their fighting spirit due to fear under the demon hunters’ offensive approaching madness.

  Fear is the universal language across nations and species.

  The nail sword fell smoothly, the arm holding the long knife rose out of thin air, and then a large amount of blood poured out.

  042 did not stop, he rushed in again, breaking through the mist, and then a terrifying face appeared before his eyes.

  The firm belief was shaken for a moment, and the hand holding the nail sword trembled slightly.

  That is a very strange emotion. Although it is similar to fear, it is completely different.

   "Actually, although fear is terrible, it is the emotion most familiar to mankind."

  In the fog, outside of the story, Lorenzo sat on the bench calmly and explained to the other three.

  Kestrel's eyes were a little impatient. He hated Lorenzo saying something at the crucial moment in the story, but Lorenzo didn't see it, and he continued talking.

  "It can be understood as a kind of early warning system of human beings, which has been with us since the beginning of our birth."

  Looking at the carelessness of the others, Lorenzo continued.

"Please think about it. This is not just a simple story. It is a precious experience of a demon hunter. It is too special. It is so special that I still remember it clearly... Maybe in the future, this story Will save everyone's life."

  Perhaps it was the seriousness in Lorenzo's words, which made others look upright.

  Lorenzo looked at the face in the mist, his eyes heavy and incomprehensible.

  "Have you heard of the uncanny valley effect?"

  He looked at everyone, but these listeners are not as knowledgeable as Lorenzo. After all, not everyone is like Lorenzo, who just goes to college to take classes when nothing is wrong, or the kind of a little bit of everything.

"Simply speaking, this effect can barely be regarded as a kind of fear, but it is much more special than fear. I must have experienced that, such as watching a small animal, perhaps at a certain angle... Suddenly Similar to people?"

  Lorenzo said slowly.

   "And not only that, but after you realize this, you will probably find that the familiar things in front of you start to be strange, and then you will feel a little scared, right?"

  The audience was silent, not sure if they understood Lorenzo's meaning, until Joey nodded.

   "The purification agency has a lot of spiritual explorations. I vaguely remember that there was such a situation, but it may be different from what you said."

  Erosion affects the spirit for the first time, so a series of researches on the spirit long ago became one of the main research projects of the cleansing agency.

   Seeing that someone finally responded, Lorenzo was very satisfied. He began to understand the embarrassment of teachers asking questions in college class, but no one was taking care of them.

"Yes, but to explain it in more detail, when human beings judge an object, it will only be divided into one category, and will not be judged into two categories... You can understand For a man with excessive body hair that looks like a monkey.

  So when we first saw this man, we would only judge it as a ‘human’ or a ‘monkey’ and no ‘human monkey’ would appear, right? "

  The invisible mist surged between them, and the fragile sound sounded, as if countless insects were slowly crawling.

  Lorenzo continues to talk about "fear".

  "When a creature looks like a human, we will judge it as ‘inhuman’, but when the degree of such resemblance reaches a certain limit? When it approaches humans infinitely?

  Cats have similar congeners, and dogs have similar congeners, but humans are different. We have no congeners. We are a unique one, the only one.

Therefore, when it approaches humans infinitely, we will misjudge it, and it is difficult to classify it, whether it is "human" or "non-human", and there is a warning from survival...It is difficult for us to classify it. It is judged whether it is the same kind, but once it is regarded as the same kind, then it is the most primitive competition, a struggle with the same kind. "

  Lorenzo stared at everyone closely, trying to find some interesting expressions on their pretending faces.

  "Unlike demons, when we face demons, our own fears will give us the answer, even if demons are exactly the same as humans, it will not make us misjudge.

  The uncanny valley effect is different. It is an unknown. This information is beyond our cognition and is completely outside the scope of our understanding. "

  Lorenzo sat upright, folded his hands together.

  "Similar but different, stemming from the harsh nature and unknown, threatening our fear of being'human beings' themselves."

  In the story, 042 forcibly resisted the weird fear. He gasped for breath, raised the spike sword to hold the counterattack from the mist, and then its appearance was revealed in the mist.

That face was covered with long slender hairs, and the skin was densely wrinkled. It was turned into strange symbols with dirty blood on the face, which seemed to be different from the skull and bones. His skull bulged back and his eye sockets were deeply sunken. As if looking at 042, that eye socket seemed to be an abyss that swallowed light.

  He seems to be similar to us, but he is fundamentally different.

  The demon hunter roared and swung his sword, perhaps fear or anger, the nail sword penetrated his chest, and red blood was left along the blade.

  　 This is not a literary youth, I have to check the information
