Chapter two hundred and ninety second cause of death

"What?!"

Qi Lin was stunned for a moment... Although he would be removed from the shelter after dying three times in the game, no matter what, Qi Lin had never heard of anyone who would die directly in the game cabin - of course, except for those who starve to death.

"What's going on? The death in the game may involve the real world? Ivan, let's talk about it. What are the obvious characteristics of the three dead mutants? Could it be the accidental cause of electric leakage in the game cabin?" Qi Lin asked unwillingly.

"No, their game pods are operating normally... But they all have one common characteristic, that is, the expression on their faces is very distorted... According to my experience, they are likely to be... scared to death or hurt to death."

Scare to death? Scare to death?

Qi Lin's mouth twitched unnaturally. Logically speaking, the pain level in the game cannot break through the physiological limits of human beings, because when the pain exceeds a certain level, the self-protection mechanism in the human body will cause people to fall into a coma directly. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to live and die without the body being injured.

Moreover, mutants have been living in the torture of the mutated body for a long time and should have been accustomed to pain, so the pain may be basically eliminated.

As for being scared to death...

Qi Lin suddenly thought of a very famous psychological experiment.

With the help of the police and the court, several psychologists found a criminal who was about to be executed and took him to a small dark room.

The police and psychologist tied the criminal to a bed, then extended the criminal's arms outside the bed to fix it, and separated the criminal's vision by taking a partition so that he could not see the situation on his wrist.

"We will execute you according to the crime you committed, and the execution method is to cut your wrist artery with a scalpel, allowing you to dry blood alive and die." The psychologist said to the criminal, shaking a sharp scalpel in front of the criminal's eyes, and then gently cut the criminal's wrist artery through the partition.

However, this knife did not cut the criminal's blood vessels, but only broke a little skin and did not even shed much blood.

However, psychologists put a metal plate behind the partition and drip water into the basin drop by drop, pretending to be an illusion that blood is constantly dripping, and from time to time they would say "How many milliliters have flowed out" and "Half a small basin has been saved" to stimulate the criminal.

At first, the criminal was full of horror and his body struggled continuously. After ten minutes, he could only open his eyes in despair and let out heavy breaths.

In the end, the criminal's face became paler and his breathing became weaker and weaker. After several hours of the experiment, the criminal's heart, whose skin was cut by a scalpel, suddenly stopped beating!

He died, and he was scared to death in such a terrifying atmosphere!

Qi Lin suddenly felt that Takov and the other two died because of this reason. The process of parasitic worms drilling into the host brain was too real and too painful, which made the three people have the illusion of being in reality. When the worms invade the brain, the brain subconsciously made the judgment that they "have died", and this judgment was brought to the real body.

Then, the brain stopped working, breathing and heartbeat stopped one after another, and the three people died alive in the game cabin.

Qi Lin told Ivan his guess, and Ivan's face was also very ugly. Originally, with the characteristics of mutants being able to be resurrected infinitely, they could try "strategy" the No. 9 warehouse indefinitely.

This game world is like a "training mode". Only after they have figured out a successful method and are familiar with it will apply it to the actual combat. But now, they have suddenly discovered that the death of the original "training mode" has become a real death and there is no chance of starting over.

If Ivan wants to continue exploring the No. 9 warehouse, the final outcome will be that all the mutants die in the game world, and they all die in their own game cabin in the real world.

"Is there no way to avoid it? After all, we all know that this is a virtual game world, and we all know that being killed in the game and parasitized by worms will not affect the real world, but why..."

"I think it is difficult to avoid. A few seconds before the brain is killed by the invading parasitic worm, the human brain itself will fall into an extremely chaotic state. In this state, unless you have extremely strong mental and willpower, you may be confused and confusing the boundaries between virtual and reality, which will eventually lead to the brain making wrong judgments." Qi Lin said word by word. Although these are just speculations, he felt that this was very close to the real cause of death of Takov and the other three.

"By the way! I remember that there are more than three of them who were parasitic worms, and what about a few others? Didn't there be any trouble with them?"

"...No, no." Ivan shook his head.

"Ivan, please recall carefully. Is it that only Takov and the other three were parasitic in a state of being alive - or in a state of being awake, while the other mutants who had nothing to do in reality died in battle and then turned into corpses and were parasitic by parasitic worms?" Qi Lin asked quickly.

Ivan thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "It seems that's the case!"

"Then there is a way! Look, those dead mutants are actually waiting for resurrection in the dark space, and the corpse left in the game has nothing to do with him. They are just a bunch of data that simulates his appearance. At this time, even if they are parasitized, it is no big deal and will not affect the body in reality at all. When Tarkov and the others are parasitized, this virtual data body is still connected with their thinking consciousness. In other words, it is sharing the same brain with their bodies in reality."

"As long as you choose to break yourself before being completely parasitic by a parasitic worm, you will not cause any harm to your body in reality - of course, the speed must be fast!" Qi Lin said firmly.

"What you mean is that you usually find yourself being parasitized, and you will commit suicide immediately?" Ivan repeated.
