Chapter 441: Chapter 348 Do You Still Want a Sense of Ceremony?_1

"How can we resist this? The hallucination is implanted directly into the brain, perhaps after a certain level of control over the body is achieved, it might be possible to resist," Zheng Yichen pondered and said.

Precisely manipulating every single cell or something like that should theoretically enable resisting such hallucinogens, but the ’cost’ of such resistance is too high. Even if it’s possible, how many people could achieve that level? However, the creation of these hallucinogenic substances is possible just by mastering the synthetic formula, making the cost disparity between the two staggeringly huge.

"At that time, I tried ’demonization’, kids definitely shouldn’t learn that," Zheng Yichen seriously told Liu Hongzhao and the others. Demonization wasn’t a good method at all; the aftermath was quite severe.

"Is that so? But this toxin directly affects the body; even if demonization drives the mind to madness, it still isn’t helpful, right?" Lin Yaoyao asked. The body was already affected; demonization merely changed the mental state.

"Plus a bit of resistance, and a physique unlike normal people’s."

This statement made Lin Yaoyao roll her eyes involuntarily. That was just boring, in terms of physique Zheng Yichen was indeed much more special than them. He could withstand a large amount of hallucinogens without collapsing, which wasn’t the case for others.

The effect of this substance on the body was very clear. To a certain extent, it was only hallucinations, but beyond a certain dosage, the human body would suffer disasters. Drinking water could kill; let alone this substance that could be considered toxic.

Lin Yaoyao’s eyes were also filled with hallucinations at the moment, but the blood she touched wasn’t much, and with her use of the blood being refined, she wasn’t as greatly affected. However, even so, the only sense she could maintain normally was her hearing.

No, even the auditory perception was somewhat affected, but not significantly. Among the mixed sounds, she could discern which were real and which were false.

"Be prepared, this is just the beginning..." Zheng Yichen said to Lin Yaoyao and the rest.

Lin Yaoyao nodded her head. She had read the research report; if this poison did not cause the affected organism to sink into despair, it would bring about a new change. The report explained that because the organism was not completely affected by the hallucinations, causing some changes to the body’s state, it would affect the hallucinogenic substance.

The type of hallucinations would also change correspondingly, turning from beautiful to terrifying.

This hallucinogen was originally secreted by sandworms to store food. As long as the food remained incapacitated, whether they were immersed in beauty or horror didn’t matter; the key was to ensure they couldn’t escape.

Not long after, Liu Hongzhao frowned slightly, her hands clenched tightly. The Supreme Demon Weapon next to her buzzed with agitation, filling the room with a suppressed murderous aura. Lin Yaoyao seemed a bit better than Liu Hongzhao but her facial expression was also quite dramatic.

Qi Xiangyun, watching them, felt conflicted and considered trying it for herself.

The effects lasted for nearly an hour before dissipating. Lin Yaoyao, recovering, rubbed her red eyes: "This poison might not be the most troublesome, but it’s the most disgusting one I’ve come across."

It truly was disgusting. A mere trifle was capable of causing such an effect, and Inner Strength was hard-pressed to influence it: "Brother Chang Qing, I want to preserve more of this poison."

"No problem, you all should rest early now. We’ll talk about this tomorrow."

Zheng Yichen looked at Liu Hongzhao and stood up: "I’ll take you back."

Liu Hongzhao was in a worse state than Lin Yaoyao.

"I..."

"Let’s go." Zheng Yichen pulled the red-robed girl up and accompanied her on his bike to leave.

"I also want to be taken back by Brother Chang Qing," Lin Yaoyao muttered, not yet having left.

Qi Xiangyun laughed softly, feeling somewhat relieved. She hadn’t tried and that was indeed the right decision. Now Lin Yaoyao and Liu Hongzhao were both in poor spirits. She said, "This time let it be Hong Zhao. Her emotional scars are the most serious of us."

"Alright, I know. Then I won’t go back tonight either," Lin Yaoyao said a bit irritably.

Her words made it seem like everyone there had lost family. But speaking of family, Liu Hongzhao indeed had it worse. They had encountered natural and man-made disasters that were unavoidable, and Liu Hongzhao’s past experiences had left her with a severe emotional knot.

If only they hadn’t cared about those refugees and just circled around them, they wouldn’t have been able to follow. But her naivety at that time led to the loss of her family. It could be considered a man-made disaster, but Liu Hongzhao always thought of it as her fault.

When the hallucinations brought terror, they also brought a share of unwelcome visions.

"Since Brother Chang Qing has spoken, you should give up some of your research as well. Living in that gloomy place isn’t good for you either," Qi Xiangyun said to Lin Yaoyao, full of concern.

Lin Yaoyao’s irritable expression became even more conflicted: "I know it... I’ve actually known for a while, but I just feel so unwilling to give up."

"So you’re clinging to a tiny hope?"

"...No more hoping, after one last try." Lin Yaoyao sighed again. It was that slim hope that drove her to continue her research, which grew increasingly deviant. But since Zheng Yichen had spoken, her slim hope was shattered.

Then she looked at Qi Xiangyun, suddenly sprang up, and reached out to grasp her waist and began tickling her: "You’ve already shown Brother Chang Qing my research, haven’t you? Hmph—don’t think I don’t know!"
