But I am not a person who easily believes other people’s rhetoric. No one’s argument, or even my own argument, needs to be reviewed carefully in my head. When a loophole cannot be found logically, I will selectively accept a little bit. .

I carefully considered everything Zhang Tongmeng said, hoping to find out the unreasonable points from the details. Finally, after thinking about it, I found that there were not many loopholes, so I almost raised the bar and said: "There is a little problem in one place."

Zhang Tongmeng obviously didn't expect that I would pick a prick, and said: "What I said was all told by Ning Hanqing. If there are any loopholes in it, I am afraid I can't explain it clearly."

I looked at the look on his face for a long while and said, "We can discuss it and see if there are loopholes in what Ning Hanqing told you."

Zhang Tongmeng nodded: "Yes, everything in the world should be able to withstand doubts before it can be accepted by the broad masses of people."

I carefully pondered a little loophole that I had come up with, so I said: "Let's analyze it a little bit. Why are the memories of people living here stored in the mother's body?"

Zhang Tongmeng replied: "The answer is obvious, because the tentacles of information released from the mother's body enter the human brain."

I nodded: "Then why is it that people can receive the information fragments sent from the mother body?"

"Maybe because of the information tentacles in the brain."

"Why can I receive your memory? Is it also because of the information tentacles in my brain?"

Zhang Tongmeng thought for a while: "No, because after the tentacles of information enter the brain, people will have periodic headaches."

I nodded and said: "So why people can receive the memory fragments emitted from the mother body, this is doubtful."

Zhang Tongmeng said: "Could it be that people who live around the mother's body can receive memories?"

I shook my head and said: "This is basically impossible, because being able to receive memories is a hallmark feature that you can recognize me. If everyone who enters this area will have a dream, then Ning's historical arrangement would be meaningless. "

Zhang Tongmeng nodded thoughtfully: "Indeed, it is doubtful why it can receive the memory transmitted from the mother body."

I continued: "The second question, Ning Hanqing said that the first generation of ancestors would gradually forget their identities and obscure their memories due to the influence of their dreams. Will this statement be too ignorant of the personality of the self? As long as the id personality still exists, no matter how many foreign memories flood in through dreams, it will be clearly stored in the id personality, instead of obscuring one's identity."

Zhang Tongmeng hesitated and said, "This is a reactionary academic theory, and I don't understand it."

I ignored what he said, and continued: "Because some things may have been skipped in what Ning Hanqing said. The information he provided alone cannot achieve the effect of'this nation finally merges into one in terror.' Because people are able to distinguish reality from dreams, as well as the self from others. Merely relying on long-term dream instillation to make a nation collectively lose the self is too much to exaggerate the power of time and dreams."

Zhang Tongmeng was silent, because he didn't understand this aspect at all.

Although I didn't get his feedback, I continued to analyze it, not so much to tell him, as to straighten out my own logic.

"Therefore, in the 1973 phone call, Ning Hanqing gave you two doubts about the information. The first is: what can make people accept the memory segment, and the second is: in addition to receiving the memory segment, What else has made this nation collective lose itself."

Zhang Tongmeng finally nodded and said: "The analytical direction of this methodology is very correct, but what is the point of discussing these things here? It is estimated that there will be no results."

I shook my head and said, "No, we already have all the information that should be obtained. Except for the key points that can be blurred by Ning's history, I don't have much less than him. Do you know Undead Village?"

"Undead Village?" Zhang Tongmeng shook his head in confusion, "I haven't heard of it."

I said: "In fact, it is the village outside the mountain you moved in 1970. As people in this village grow older, they will gradually blur their consciousness and eventually lose consciousness completely and become the group of walking corpses you encountered in the canyon. ."

Zhang Tongmeng nodded and said, "I don't know the details of Undead Village, but I know the walking dead group."

"You said, what is the reason for the formation of the immortal village?" I thought. Although I was asking him, I was actually asking myself, "Our speculation is that they are affected by the abyss and will eventually lose consciousness, but This is just speculation. Can we connect them to the mother?"

Zhang Tongmeng nodded: "If what you said about the Immortal Village is true, it may indeed have something to do with the mother. Meng Qisheng said that the information tentacles of the mother have a wide range of influence, because the area where the mother is located is a perennial In areas that have been eroded by flowing water, the tentacles of information have already spread along the groundwater system to nearby waters, so it is possible that people in Undead Village will be affected by the mother's body."

My eyes brightened and I got this information point. Combining several points, there is more room for analysis: "If we assume that the people in the undead village are affected by the tentacles of the information, they will gradually lose. If self-awareness eventually becomes a walking corpse, then why didn’t the people of the underground nation eventually become a walking corpse

Zhang Tongmeng was silent, and I didn't count on him. If Gu Tang and the others were here, it would be fine. I can only analyze it by myself.

I have felt that some key nodes should have appeared, but they are faintly present in the brain, and no clear conclusion can be formed.

At this time, Gu Tang's way of thinking may no longer be effective. I can look at it from a different perspective, that is, the existence of multiple doubts may be due to the same factor. Analyze all the problems together.

As soon as my inspiration came to me, the point where my brain was stuck suddenly got through, and then it was like greased up. A series of conclusions almost poured out. I quickly gathered my emotions and sorted out my thoughts, and sorted out the key points that I thought of. .

I said with a hint of excitement: "I know the reason, it is very likely that it is because after the memory tentacles exist in the human brain, while sending the memory segment to the mother, it destroys this memory segment of its own."

In other words, while accepting the memories of others, it is also accompanied by the obliteration of the self-personality. (End of this chapter)
