Chapter 841 Going Deep Underground

It is not difficult for Duanmu Ai to deal with Shitong Zhengyi, it is just a matter of one blow - Speaking of which, I originally thought that this guy was the final BOSS behind the scenes, but I didn't expect that he was just a man who accidentally learned about the existence of subspace and A minor character trying to take advantage of...

Naturally, Duanmu Ai also tortured Shitong's spiritual projection of justice, and the information he obtained was similar to that of Goro Akechi. In the final analysis, he was just a small evil party of this level. So after getting the information, Duanmu Ai did not hesitate to The mental projection of Shitong Zhengyi was smashed to pieces, and then he turned around and dodged.

And her next target is what Goro Akechi said, the group unconscious under the subway station.

but……………

"This thing looks really weird."

Standing on the subway station, Duanmu Ai looked around. The entire subway station was just like the world above. It looked dilapidated and there was blood everywhere. But that was not important. What was important was the people standing on the platform at this moment.

Duanmu Ai had been curious before, where had the soul projections of the hundreds of thousands of people in this city gone?

Well, now that question has been answered.

They are all hiding in this subway station.

However, the mental projection here is not as energetic as what Duanmu Ai saw in the palace before. On the contrary, each of them is dejected, looking like they have worked overtime until early morning before dragging their tired bodies and planning to go home. Everyone lowered their heads and said nothing. Even if Duanmu Ai talked to them, he could only reply weakly.

The mental state of people in this city looks very bad...

After several unsuccessful conversations, Duanmu Ai also gave up. It was obvious that the mental projections here almost looked like they were about to die from overwork... I don't know what they encountered. After all, in reality Most people should look pretty normal, right?

And nothing happened in this city recently that would make most people feel tired and uneasy.

But the mental projections here all feel like zombies...

“Bang, bang, bang, bang…!”

At this moment, under the dim red light, a subway drove out of the darkness, stopped in front of the platform, and then opened the door. Then, these people raised their heads staggeringly and entered the subway.

"Why does it feel like the dead are queuing up to cross the Naihe Bridge? Could it be that there is a modern version of the Palace of Hell below?"

Silently complaining, Duanmu Ai also walked into the subway with the crowd. Soon, the door closed, and then the subway drove down the tunnel.

The entire subway gave people an extremely weird and scary atmosphere. In the narrow carriage, under the dark red lights, the passengers seemed to be walking zombies sitting or standing silently. Everyone lowered his head and said nothing. say. If this were placed in a movie, Chunchun would be like a ghost train scene. People can't help but suspect that the people sitting on this subway are all dead people, and the subway will take them to the Palace of Hell underground, and passengers who accidentally enter it will also be taken into hell...

Well, this is quite interesting as an urban ghost story.

Duanmu Ai sat on the chair and yawned - and then began to close her eyes to rest. She was not worried about what these soul projections dared to do to her. If they dared to do anything, they would be dead.

However, it seemed that those soul projections did not pay attention to Duanmu Ai, and the subway kept moving forward. I don't know how long it took before the speeding subway slowed down and stopped slowly. Then the door opened, and the passengers inside slowly walked out of the tram, and Duanmu Ai also mixed in and walked out.

Obviously, this is the end of the subway. In front of you is a huge platform and a smooth, weird-looking stone gate. The spiritual projections walked off the subway and headed forward in twos and threes. Then Duanmu Ai saw the huge stone door open, revealing the bright red light inside.

"………………"

It's starting to look more and more like a weird story. It can't really be hell inside.

However, when Duanmu Ai walked in, she realized that this was not hell.

But prison.

That's right, on both sides of the passage, you can see the prison blocked by fences, with many people sitting or standing inside. However, their appearance is very strange. Logically speaking, most of the people locked up in prison will either try to escape, yell angrily, or sit down in despair. However, these people in prison are different. They look very relaxed and comfortable, as if they are quite comfortable.

"Hello."

At this moment, a man suddenly spoke to Duanmu Ai.

"What are you doing there? Don't stay in that kind of place anymore. Come in, it's very comfortable here."

"Comfortable?"

Hearing the man's words, Duanmu Ai frowned and carefully looked at the prison in front of him - there was nothing but people inside. To be honest, it was not comfortable at all for a prison. Of course, what appeared here It's a mental projection, and there's no need to eat, drink, or have diarrhea... But why is it so comfortable to be locked up?

"yes."

At this moment, another woman also spoke.

"If you want to come in, come in quickly, I don't want to go out at all..."

"Yes, it's best to stay here. Deep inside here, there is a system that realizes wishes... Just stay here and leave everything to it, then you don't have to worry about anything... You are full of troubles because you stay outside. When you are alive, it's better not to know some things."

"Oh... "

Hearing this, Duanmu Ai narrowed his eyes.

"It's very comfortable in there, right? You don't have to think about anything, right?"

"Yes, there are no worries, just stay here quietly... Ah, I just want to stay here forever... I don't want to go anywhere... It's so hard to live without thinking about anything..."

"So, what is this place?"

Faced with Duanmu Ai's question, the male prisoner inside answered.

"It is said that this place is called the Prison of Return to the Beginning."

"The Prison of Return to the Beginning?"

"Yes, in your opinion, this place is not free at all, but that is not the case. In fact, here, no matter who you are, you can get the best freedom. You can be free from your own troubles and thoughts... Yes, you don't have to make any choices, just go with the flow. Yes, this is created by everyone together... the most beautiful world..."

"Well... Then you can continue to enjoy it. There are not many comfortable days left."

Duanmu Ai complained, then raised her head. Soon, she saw something like blood vessels spreading forward above the prison. If she continued to move forward, she could see these blood vessels that appeared from all directions entangled together and stretched all the way down. Disappeared in the dark cave.

Just in there.

Looking at the dark and bottomless dark cave in front of her, Duanmu Ai's face was gloomy. She could understand what those people meant. According to them, the prison here is the people themselves-this is actually not surprising. The mainstream thinking of the masses is a prison to some extent. Most people will accept all this without hesitation. This is the collective unconsciousness.

In fact, as a judge, Duanmu Huai has seen too many similar things. Most people's thoughts are to follow the crowd, just like the king's new clothes. It doesn't matter whether the king knows that he is wearing new clothes. What matters is whether other people think that the king is wearing new clothes. If everyone thinks so, then there will be a group unconscious effect.

Only those children who are not led by the group consciousness will tell the truth.

The reason for this situation is very simple. In fact, it is the same whether it is in school, unit, or enterprise.

Every place has different rules, and everyone abides by these rules and feels comfortable. But on the other hand, if someone does not abide by the rules, then they will naturally be regarded as heterogeneous and excluded.

Give up thinking, give the power of decision-making to others, and just go with the flow. In fact, most people are like this, and this world is nothing more than the embodiment of the human world.

This kind of thing is also very common in reality. For example, in the past, everyone turned a blind eye to the behavior of corporal punishment in schools, because it was natural for teachers to educate students. What the hell is corporal punishment? When Duanmu Huai was in elementary school, if he didn't finish his homework or was late for class, he would be hit on the palm with a ruler, and his palm would be hit red.

Is this corporal punishment? Or education?

The same is true for domestic violence. In the past, everyone thought that it was natural for a man to beat his wife, and there was nothing wrong with it. What the hell is domestic violence? They have always done this, is it wrong?

Because it has always been like this, everyone does it, so there is nothing wrong with me doing it.

This is group consciousness and thinking.

However, it does not mean that this will not change, nor does it mean that no one will stand up to resist.

There will be students who stand up and denounce teachers for beating students like beating animals, and there will be wives who stand up to resist their husbands' domestic violence.

Under the influence of these leaders, other people will gradually change their minds, and then there will be a trend of anti-domestic violence and anti-corporal punishment. This is another kind of group thinking.

But, is that the end?

Of course not.

Even if the public thinks corporal punishment is wrong, there will still be people who stand up to protest, claiming that this practice turns students into untouchable little emperors, greatly reduces the dignity and prestige of teachers, and the effect and quality of education also declines, and the children are the ones who suffer in the end.

Some people also denounced that it is obviously gender discrimination to only treat women as the targets of domestic violence. Obviously, there are many men who are tortured by women and want to live but not to die, but society only pays attention to female victims. It is better not to do such a practice.

So, will this become a new mainstream trend again?

No one can say for sure.

As for which side is right, it is even more uncertain.

So it can be seen from this that mainstream thinking is not immutable. On the contrary, it may turn 180 degrees directly, like schizophrenia.

In the past, same-sex dating was illegal, but now it is illegal to discriminate against same-sex dating. Don’t you think it’s strange?

Of course, if it was just like this, Duanmu Ai would not care. Human beings are like this. Group thinking and homogeneity are one of the forces for human survival.

The premise is that this is a choice made by humans themselves, not some messy thing behind the scenes.

Duanmu Ai jumped.

The whistling wind blew past her ears. For a while, Duanmu Ai even felt like she was swallowed by darkness. I don’t know how long it took, but a bright red light appeared under her feet. Looking around, there were cells flashing dark red light everywhere. The spiritual projections of individuals were locked in them, but they didn’t cry or shout. They sat in them like zombies, motionless.

"Boom!"

The next moment, Duanmu Ai fell from the sky like a stone and hit the ground heavily. She raised her head and looked in front of her—she saw a huge, dark and dark holy grail in the center of the open space in front of her, surrounded by countless cages. And the blood vessels flowing out of those cells went deep into the holy grail.

"Hehehe..."

At the same time, a low voice sounded.

"I didn't expect that someone could find this place..."

"Are you surprised?"

Duanmu Ai said as he took out the war hammer.

"Although I don't know what you are, but... prepare to die!"
