Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 154 Cognitive Interference
Whether you are lucky or not, there will be different results if you look at it from different angles.

Li Chengxi felt that he had encountered armed robbery twice in less than two months, and each time he had been forced to fight back. His luck must be very bad, just like winning the lottery jackpot, which is a science fiction. He should use the metaphysical method of taking a bath with pomelo leaves to get rid of the bad luck.

But from another perspective, he was not injured both times, and when he was holding the gun snatched from the gangsters, the police who rushed in did not mistakenly shoot him as a bad guy out of nervousness. He was lucky.

But it actually has nothing to do with luck.

As the criminals had hostages, the police did not dare to break in by force and just asked the negotiation experts to talk to them first.

But during the conversation, the police had already ruled out the sniper team and the observation team. It was just that the visibility from where the criminals were hiding was not good, making it inconvenient for sniping and observation.

When the sniper and observation teams switched positions, Li Chengxi rushed out.

Although they did not see where Li Chengxi jumped out from, the police thought this was an excellent opportunity and immediately ordered a violent attack.

They were not so confused as to tell who was a good guy and who was a bad guy. They asked Li Chengxi to put down the gun simply because they were afraid that he would accidentally touch the trigger and cause the gun to go off.

So not only did they not make things difficult for Li Chengxi, but they also asked him nervously if he was injured. Especially when they saw that Li Chengxi's hands and feet were shaking when he was explaining (actually he was scared), they thought that he was shot but he didn't feel anything, so they immediately called for a stretcher, and no matter how Li Chengxi explained, he refused to listen, and they forcibly put him on the stretcher and carried him away.

It was only when he was carried out of the mall that Li Chengxi noticed that it was extremely lively outside.

Police, special police, armed police, emergency and even firefighters were all on standby, and there was a large crowd of onlookers outside the cordon. This matter must have been a big deal.

Seeing Li Chengxi being carried out on a stretcher, a group of emergency doctors rushed up anxiously. After a series of vigorous operations, they finally confirmed that apart from a slightly high heart rate and blood pressure, Li Chengxi had no other problems, and especially that he was not shot at all.

Not only Li Chengxi, all the rescued hostages had to be examined by the emergency doctor.

When people are extremely nervous, their sense of pain will be greatly reduced. It is common for them to be shot but not feel anything, and only realize that a lot of blood has been lost when they relax.

Besides, what if one of the hostages suffers from cardiovascular disease and gets sick from the fright?
So each one needs to be checked carefully to make sure there are no problems.

Li Chengxi thanked the emergency doctor and quickly stood beside the ambulance to look around. Fortunately, Viola's red hair was very conspicuous, and the emergency doctor asked her to take off her hat for examination. Li Chengxi found her at a glance.

Like Li Chengxi, Viola was also undergoing an examination. When her blood pressure was measured, the girl was like a wooden man, not daring to move. Until she saw Li Chengxi, she quickly ran over in small steps and hid behind him in a flash.

So cute.

Just after comforting Viola, Lei Lei also walked over from the ambulance on the other side.

"Brother Li, how do you know which way is the exit?"

"I can't really explain it, I just follow my feeling."

"Your feeling is so accurate..."

Lei Lei was a little depressed. When Li Chengxi said he knew the exit, she paid full attention to his every move, but after watching him all the way, Lei Lei couldn't find any flaws.

There was no mobilization of mana, no use of spells, and no use of magic weapons or supernatural powers. Lei Lei was even confused.

What method was used?

Lei Lei was about to ask more questions indirectly when Gan Xiaoyan ran over from the other side. Seeing that the three of them were standing there intact, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Great, you're all okay. I was terrified when I got the news from the surveillance personnel, so I rushed over here with my colleagues."

What happened today was very strange and had supernatural elements. Section Nine will definitely get involved.

but……

Li Chengxi and Lei Lei looked at each other and he asked:
"How come you're talking like you weren't there?"

Gan Xiaoyan was confused by this question:

"I'm not here?"

"No, you were following us just now."

"I'm on duty today and have been with my colleagues since this morning."

Lei Lei was also a little confused:

"You're on duty today? But when I sent you a WeChat message yesterday to say we'd like to go shopping together, you replied that it was ok."

A big question mark seemed to pop up in Gan Xiaoyan's head:

"I saw your WeChat, but I replied that I had to work today and didn't have time."

Lei Lei took out her cell phone and opened WeChat, and indeed saw that Gan Xiaoyan had replied with an OK emoticon.

"I haven't sent this." Gan Xiaoyan also took out her mobile phone and opened WeChat to show Lei Lei.

Li Chengxi looked at the different WeChat messages on the two phones and guessed:

"Click on each other's friend profile picture and check their WeChat ID."

The two of them clicked on it and were surprised:
“This is not my number!”

It is very likely that someone tampered with the two people's mobile phones while they were not paying attention, deleted both parties' WeChat friends, and then added a pre-prepared WeChat account with the same nickname and avatar as both parties.

The two people seemed to be sending WeChat messages to each other, but in fact they sent the messages to a third party first, and then the third party forwarded them using two accounts.

This approach is very simple and unpretentious, but it can be done.

But there was an obvious flaw, which was that neither of them could see historical information, but neither of them noticed it.

I feel that the people who did this have ideas but no skills. They have the opportunity to tamper with the phone. It is more covert and harder to be discovered to directly make a mirror phone than to tamper with WeChat.

“Have you ever let anyone else use your phone?”

"No, I usually only leave my phone in the classroom during physical education classes."

“But there’s no PE this week.”

It’s the physical education teacher’s sick week, right? I understand.

Lei Lei suddenly remembered something and turned to ask Gan Xiaoyan:

"Did you give Brother Li the cupcakes you baked last week?"

I don't know why Lei Lei suddenly mentioned this. Gan Xiaoyan blushed and said quickly:

"I baked the cupcakes, but I didn't deliver them myself. I asked you to do it for me."

"Ah? I don't know about that."

"How could that be? I handed it to you personally. Please help me pass it to Brother Li."

Li Chengxi also clearly remembered that it was Gan Xiaoyan who came in person.

At this time, Viola tugged at the corner of Li Chengxi's clothes, pointed at Gan Xiaoyan's backpack and said:
"Sir, it seems the color of her backpack has changed. The zipper was black before, but now it's white."

After telling the two about this, Gan Xiaoyan said in panic:
"So, someone was pretending to be me? And we didn't notice it for a long time?"

This third party used the communication information between Gan Xiaoyan and Lei Lei to disguise himself as one of them, and even the two of them didn't know how long this situation had lasted.

The three of them felt a chill in their hearts when they thought that someone had secretly inserted themselves into their social network.

"Is it a shapeshifting creature?"

Li Chengxi thought of the transformed assassin that Viola had encountered not long ago. It couldn't be just makeup, otherwise the flaw would have been discovered long ago.

"No, it's unlikely to be a deformation."

Lei Lei pointed at her eyes and said:

"I have clairvoyance and can see through most illusions and transformations."

"That is how the matter?"

"I think it's possible... it's a cognitive interference, and it's a very sophisticated method."

Cognitive interference targets the human brain.

For example, there is clearly an apple on the table, but after being disturbed, you will think it is a pear, and even if you put it in your mouth and take a bite, you will taste the flavor of a pear.

Lei Lei had used a similar spell on Xue Wenshu, but she only wanted to make Xue Wenshu more enthusiastic and to make it easier to get information from him.

When Qian Sen first came into contact with Li Chengxi, he used a barrier to repel people, which was also a kind of cognitive interference to prevent unauthorized persons from intruding.

At the same time, Jiuke will use similar methods to distort cognition and help ordinary people forget things they shouldn't know.

But the above examples are all simple and crude methods. Anyone with a little ability can ignore the interference. Even ordinary people may suddenly get rid of the interference because of certain opportunities.

But this time it was different. Not to mention others, Lei Lei, as a cultivator, herself possessed super strong resistance to abnormal states, but even she did not notice anything wrong.
