He looked at the sticky, bloody pituitary gland that was lifted up to his eyes.
Xiong Hanzi's face was ashen.
He's not afraid of this stuff, but he really has a bad appetite!!
"Captain Lin, what do you mean they are so happy?"
I only knew that Team Lin seemed to be looking for something special about these ascetics, but he really didn't understand what Lin An meant by that sentence.
Without answering Zhang Hanhan's question directly, Lin An put away his smile and asked him seriously:
"Xiong Hanzi, have you ever run a marathon?"
"What?"
Zhang Tie touched his head and shook his head suspiciously:
"No..."
"I'm tired enough just to move things around at work, so I don't have the energy to do that... I'll have nothing to do if I eat and run away."
He couldn't understand why Captain Lin asked this inexplicably, so he could only look over helplessly.
"Well."
Lin An thought for a moment and placed the cut part of the pituitary gland on the table.
"Is such that."
"The human body itself will naturally secrete a substance: endorphins when it encounters pain or reaches its limit."
"This substance can give people extremely strong excitement and pleasure effects comparable to HEROIN."
"It feels extremely good, even highly addictive."
"This is why so many people love self-destructive sports such as extreme fitness and marathons."
"In pain, the human body naturally secretes endorphins in order to relieve the pain."
"Put it the other way around, in other words..."
Lin An pointed to the pituitary gland on the table, his eyes flashing:
"The ascetics in the secret world are not using pain to sharpen their faith and strengthen their will."
"They're enjoying the pain!"
"As we saw, they even laughed heartily while injuring themselves!"
A sneer.
Lin An looked outside the courtyard, as if he could see through the walls the ascetics following the self-mutilation and the human beings enjoying the pain together.
"They have no will at all!"
"These guys are complete drug addicts!"
"obviously."
"With their abnormally developed pituitary gland, while they self-mutilate, their pituitary gland secretes a large amount of endocannabinoids, thus prompting them to enjoy the pain."
"When pleasure covers up suffering, everything makes sense."
"Just like an addiction, they will continue to abuse themselves to gain happiness and strengthen their so-called beliefs."
"And because of the rules of this world, as if something can come true if they believe it, they gain transcendent power."
“So, the New Age ascetics are not ascetics at all.”
"But indulge in bliss."
"This is why, if the ascetics of the old era did not understand this principle, they would instinctively think that they were crooked."
After discovering this problem, Lin An's previous conjecture was instantly established.
My heart felt relieved.
For the first time, he felt that solving the task was so smooth and almost only required verification.
Of course, this also benefited from the questions he asked Huang Shaohua before entering the secret realm.
Gene lock...what exactly is it?
Under the danger of death, open the genetic lock and gain strength.
This is so similar to the ascetics in the secret world.
Through this line of thinking, Lin An thought that there might be some connection between the two.
If the gene locks the potential to explode in the face of death, it will secrete a large amount of DMT and adrenaline.
Then ascetic practice is to secrete a large amount of endocannabinoids, causing people to go crazy like a pervert.
The rules of the two worlds are different.
If the "faith" or obsession in this world is strong enough, it can borrow power from the future.
This is equivalent to opening a genetic lock.
After Zhang Tie heard his explanation, he couldn't help but open his mouth.
He had never thought about it from this perspective. He only thought that these people were perverts.
only.
"Captain Lin, that's not right."
"I understand what you mean."
"This group of new-age ascetics are actually drug addicts. The more they abuse, the happier they become, and the happier they become, the stronger they become."
"In fact, I have no belief at all, so I am like a madman."
"What happened to the ascetics of the old days?"
"I think they are really in pain... They are really doing hard work slowly, repeating the same thing for decades."
"This seems...different..."
Lin An smiled after hearing this and glanced at Zhang Tie approvingly.
Xiong Hanzi can think of this after listening to it, which is quite good.
"Yes, your question is correct."
"The ascetics of the old age did not "cultivate" entirely with the help of endocrine peptides, but DMT."
"Of course, I'm just guessing, and I haven't completely confirmed it."
"By going to the Beginning Place, we may be able to complete the last clue and completely solve the mystery of the ascetic's power."
"As for dmt..."
Lin An raised his eyebrows and said slowly:
'The so-called DMT is actually a similar substance to endocaffein.'
"I don't know if you have ever heard of near-death experiences, out-of-body experiences, or real-world practice, meditation..."
"These special things that existed before the end of time, before the advent of spiritual energy, are actually real."
deep impression.
He remembers it clearly.
After the apocalypse broke out in the previous life, there was a spiritual awakener who relied on long-term meditation before the apocalypse to obtain the 13 points of spiritual attributes he had before becoming an awakened person after the apocalypse.
Comparable to a mental mutant, or simply.
It’s unbelievable, but it’s actually not a way to cultivate immortality or an unscientific method.
"When a person dies, the brain will also secrete a large amount of DMT to ensure that the person is less painful when he is dying."
"Under the influence of this substance, human beings' five senses and the world in their eyes will be greatly distorted, and they will see, perceive, and experience spiritual feelings in an abnormal state."
"So religious people often say that they can be psychic..."
"It's just an illusion... Of course, maybe it's true."
"Similarly, in a state of hypoxia, suffocation, ultra-low temperature and heat loss, or even in a meditative state, DMT can be self-secreted and achieve a near-death experience."
"This is why there are so many monks in the real world, and religious believers can meditate and practice day after day."
"It's not that they can resist temptation, it's not that their beliefs are strong, it's not that they have perseverance that surpasses ordinary people."
"But... it feels good."
“Very cool.”
"Meditation, practice, meditation, and self-hypnosis will really bring you an experience that transcends cognition."
"To go a long way, breathing methods such as meditation, tantra, and Taoism are all based on the same principle."
"Huang Liang has a dream...becoming a god in hallucination..."
"They are forcing their bodies to secrete DMT and liberating the power consumption of the cerebral cortex to obtain extraordinary experiences."
"People need "happiness" to persist."
"Same as the ascetics of the old days."
"They secrete a small amount of endocannabinoids and a large amount of DMT, hypnotize themselves, and get rid of the boredom of asceticism.
"Have firm faith."
"In this way, we can comply with the rules of the secret realm and gain strength..."
After listening to what Lin An said, Xiong Hanzi was dazed and looked happy:
"Team Lin, can we complete the mission?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of roars suddenly came from outside the hospital.
"The whole city is on alert!"
"The blood corpses are coming!!"
"Go to war!"
"boom!!"
...
The fire shot into the sky and illuminated half of the city.
High in the sky, hundreds of scarlet technological creations with strange shapes, like sea bats, fell from the sky.
