Chapter 2703 Born Killer

"this……"

Li Yao frowned as he watched the beast-like man in the test room launch a ferocious attack, and the researcher was caught off guard and could only dodge around, but was bumped back and forth by the metal chair attached to him, and glanced at Zhuge Jinglun's hand. A flat scan of the dancing brain, "What can it explain?"

"Look here, it's really deep, but he still showed his flaws in the last few questions."

Zhuge Jinglun pointed to some mottled light spots on the plain scan of the brain, zoomed in and out, and called up some normal brain scans, and compared the two, "Do you find any difference? "

Judging by his complacent demeanor, he doesn't look like heifengwang who is facing the power over the government, but rather like a primary school teacher facing an ignorant child.

"These light spots in the brains of normal people are relatively dense, but the light spots in the picture just scanned are relatively scattered, and there is a clear boundary in the middle."

Fortunately, Li Yao was not a person who cared too much about status and rules. After studying it carefully for a long time, he answered honestly, "And then, what does this mean?"

"In medicine, we divide the brain into three parts, the brain nucleus, the limbic system, and the cerebral cortex. The brain nucleus is responsible for basic physiological parameters such as breathing, heartbeat, awakening, exercise, sleep, balance, etc., and maintains human animal instincts. , which can be ignored for now.

"And the limbic system is responsible for what I just called 'emotional thinking,' emotions, memories, glandular activity, and so on.

"And the cerebral cortex, that is, the outer layer of the brain that people usually see ravines, is the area responsible for rational thinking and advanced perception.

"When a normal person's brain starts to be active, the connection between his three major areas, especially the limbic system and the cerebral cortex, is very tight. Please look, Black Wind King, this is the brain of a normal person when he is furious Can you see the scanned picture? From the limbic system to the cerebral cortex, there are dots of light. The brightness of the two is almost the same, and there is no obvious boundary in the middle. It can be said that his entire brain is burning. up.

"Look at the scans we just obtained. Look, the light spots in the limbic system are relatively dim, while the light spots in the cerebral cortex are very bright. The two sides are far apart, and there is a very clear boundary in the middle, as if..."

"It was as if his limbic system and cerebral cortex had been cut apart and each formed an isolated system."

Li Yaodao, "And when this person thinks and acts, he uses more of the cerebral cortex, which is rational thinking, but rarely uses the limbic system, which is emotional thinking."

"That's right, that's it!"

Zhuge Jinglun smiled and said, "We have encountered some very unfortunate patients who suffered severe brain trauma and had to separate their left and right hemispheres for treatment. If all the nerves are cut off, the person will not die, and it will not even affect the ability to live a normal life. On the contrary, it will strengthen the ability in mathematics or art, but the personality will become very... weird.

"These people are the same. You can simply understand that they also performed a small operation between the limbic system and the cerebral cortex, cutting off most of the neural connections between each other, and cutting off the relationship between emotion and reason. access.

"Only two kinds of people's brains will have this kind of situation, one is the inhumane cold-blooded killer, and the other is the Holy League people, do you know what kind of consequences such brain mutations will cause?"

Li Yao said: "What consequences?"

"Lack of empathy."

Zhuge Jinglun said, "The ability to empathize is almost everyone's innate instinct. I am human, and you are also human. I don't want to hurt myself, so I don't want to hurt you either; everyone has childhood, and there may be One's own children, people want to protect their own children at all costs, so they will be very fond of other people's children when they see them; even when they see kittens and dogs, they will have a desire to protect them, and they can't bear to kill these animals.

"The closer and similar species are to us, the more we will have strong empathy. This instinct is the basis for intelligent life to form a society, and it cannot be erased by cultivation. When facing ordinary people who have no power to restrain chickens, they will also have empathy and 'can't bear it'.

"Why do immortal cultivators want to publicize that ordinary people are just 'original people', a lowly 'human subspecies', a humanoid pig who is born mean, vulgar, lazy, useless or even evil? The ability of 'empathy' will cause 'unbearable' and 'sense of guilt' when attacking the same kind, so we have to label ordinary people as 'original' or even 'inhuman' in order to calm down a little to kill them.

"In other words, even for the most ruthless immortal cultivator, killing the same kind will cause a little touch to the heart.

"But for those who lack empathy, they don't care at all.

"They don't care about other people's feelings, they don't care about the life or death of an innocent, cute and innocent little girl, they don't care about the relatives who gave birth to them, they don't even care about their own lives.

"Many serial killers are like this. They often kill for a few dollars or even for no reason. They have no sense of guilt or fear. They don't care what happens to them after they are caught. Life is an item in their eyes. , including themselves.

"They may not all be 'unexamined beasts'. In fact, many serial killers are highly educated, have a decent status, and are successful people in the upper class. They have extremely high EQ and IQ. There is no need to kill people! But They still took the risk and sent themselves to the execution ground, but the moment the bullet pried open their skulls, they still didn't have the slightest fear, they didn't care, they just didn't care!

"Therefore, we designed this series of questions, leaving aside those false questions that are extremely disturbing and confusing, the real question is to investigate what the testers really care about.

"The simplest example, when normal people find a wasp stinging on their hands, they will dodge or drive away immediately, because they care about their own bodies and don't want to get hurt. Who cares about the color of the wasp?

"Similarly, it doesn't matter whether you are in the desert, your mother is fatally injured, or the whole world is completely changed... These tests are advanced layer by layer, from being fatally threatened by yourself, to your family, to your homeland and even the whole world. How can people be indifferent?

"But our tester, you've seen his brain scan, right? Whether I'm going to die of thirst and starvation on a desert planet, or my mother's life is uncertain in a pool of blood, or even the whole world will be, er, , was destroyed by the 'Omnic Rebellion', and even his basic cognition as a human being had been subverted, he didn't care, didn't care at all.

"Irritability, when his cerebral cortex is actively responding, obviously when he is thinking positively, his limbic system only shows the emotion of 'irritability', and he is indifferent to everything, even if he really has a crystal stuffed in his skull. It doesn't matter what the brain's 'omnics' are, this is the most typical manifestation of the extreme lack of empathy."

"I see, I finally understand."

Li Yao breathed a sigh of relief, "So, Dean Zhuge, you can judge that this gentleman is a member of the Holy League!"

Zhuge Jinglun looked at Li Yao for a long time, and laughed mysteriously.

"No, he's not a member of the Holy League, he's just a ruthless, perverted killer."

Zhuge Jinglun laughed like a meat bun that was trampled flat, "Although he seemed indifferent to all the previous questions, the last question still touched the deepest pain in his heart, which made him show a little bit of empathy. ability, in the end, he finally looks a little bit like a human being!"

Li Yao was stunned and couldn't figure out what Zhuge Jinglun meant: "The last question? That's... this is the subconscious world. He is actually a poor little girl who was sold to the back of the poor alley by cruel parents and abused... this Is there anything special about the question?"

"Of course there is. Our problem is not fabricated. This poor little girl sold by her father really has someone, and that is his daughter."

Zhuge Jinglun extracted the tester's information. In the past photos, the tester is a gentle and personable appearance, "Look at his previous appearance, he looks good, he is a very popular middle school student teacher."

"ah……"

Li Yao looked at the photos, and then looked at the beasts in the testing room that were pushed to the ground by four or five strong men, they looked like two different people.

But if you think about it carefully, when this gentleman answered the question just now, although his words were vulgar, his logical thinking was quite careful, and he did appear to have received higher education.

Such a guy actually sold his own daughter!

"Before the age of forty, this tester had been an ordinary middle school teacher, no different from a normal person, but unfortunately, he was taken to a casino by his friends and became addicted to gambling. I lost all my family property and owed a lot of usury."

Zhuge Jinglun said expressionlessly, "From then on, this guy's ruthless personality gradually awakened. He first sold his own daughter to gangsters to repay the usury, and after his wife and mother found out, he brutally killed two beloved women." , and even calmly dismembered them and returned them to the forged scene, trying to pretend that the gangsters failed to force debts and murdered to vent their anger. Oh, he even insured a large amount of personal accident insurance for his mother and wife, trying to cheat A lot of insurance money to continue to gamble.

"He is such an inhuman scum, a demon inferior to beasts, and he didn't even touch the issue of 'mother lying in a pool of blood'.

"However, it is a pity that he is only a demon, but not a member of the Holy League. In the deepest part of his heart, subconsciously, he still has a slight sense of guilt towards his daughter, so when he was hit by the last question, He's still broken.

"The brain scans and brain wave analysis data all show that he really collapsed, not just acting."

Li Yao had nothing to say, but felt that the guy who came up with this "spiritual test" was a lunatic himself!

"Since he's not a Holy Leaguer—"

Long Yangjun suddenly said, "President Zhuge just said 'I caught you', what does that mean?"

At this time, a small door opened next to it, and a researcher covered in bruises came out cursing. When he saw Zhuge Jinglun and others, he was slightly startled, and then complained loudly: "Dean, our security measures should be upgraded. , at least get a stronger chair—these lunatics are powerful!

"It's unlucky, the Holy League hasn't caught me yet, but I was beaten in vain, hiss!"

The researcher grinned, furious.

"Okay, when I interrogate you later..."

Zhuge Jinglun said with a smile to the researcher, "We must change to the strongest chair."
