Chapter 22 Cognitive Interference
At the end of the corridor, there was a large room.

In complete darkness.

Ji Yi gripped the chainsaw tightly, following the dismembering demon closely.

In fact, in an emergency, it would be impossible to start the chainsaw in a short time.

Moreover, this kind of lightweight chainsaw is only good for cutting wood; expecting it to saw ghosts is unrealistic.

"Then what would I do with it?"

Ji Yi suddenly thought.

Also, where did you get this chainsaw? Why do I have no recollection of it?
He examined the items.

【Name: Lightweight Electric Saw】

[Type: Weapon]

Attack power: Weak

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Effect: Electrically powered, capable of cutting less durable items, and lightweight.]

[Note: Used by a female, 99% new]

[Bound Person: Schrödinger's Cat]

Upon seeing the last two lines, Ji Yi frowned.

Open the panel.

Check your teammates' survival status.

[Tang Hulu LV.12: Survival]

[Hao Youqian LV.14: Death]

[Zhuge Light Bulb LV.11: Survival]

Schrödinger's Cat LV.13: Survival

[Chicken Leg Immortal LV.9: Death]

"Hehe, this is a dimensional reduction attack."

Ji Yi really didn't expect that the so-called cognitive interference flaw could be so obvious.

The headless ghost can use its strange abilities to forcibly change the player's perception, making Ji Yi believe that he is fighting alone.

This is very powerful, and the effect exceeded Ji Yi's expectations.

Unfortunately, players have panel information.

"Now, my memory is missing information about these three surviving players."

This is an indisputable fact.

"But this also means that the headless ghost is already at his wit's end. If he could easily control this ability, why didn't he use it earlier in the first place? Why did he wait until the player's advantage gradually expanded until he was about to die before activating the ability?"

These results can be easily deduced.

In addition, it cannot be ruled out that the closer a player gets to the headless ghost, the stronger the cognitive interference effect will be.

Ji Yi stopped in her tracks.

[Activate Skill: Summoning Spell - Drowned Ghost]

A long-haired female ghost, soaking wet, appeared out of nowhere.

Ghost tales are not affected by headless ghosts; they are not biological beings in essence, and their so-called cognition is different from that of humans.

[Activate Skill: Summoning Spell - Dismemberment Demon]

[Activate Skill: Summoning Spell - Drowned Ghost]

"Did you tell me to separate from my teammates because you knew you couldn't defeat four people?"

"Then I'll send four ghosts! How will you deal with that?"

This was a huge gamble; he took a tremendous risk.

But Ji Yi thought it was worth it.

No matter what obstacles may arise later, paying any price to defeat the headless demon now will never be a waste.

The four ghosts immediately began to act.

Walk to the end of the corridor.

Then a magical scene happened.

They passed through the room door, like ghosts.

"hiss"

"Could it be that even what I'm seeing now is an illusion?"

Ji Yi felt that her situation was somewhat surreal, and she could no longer distinguish between reality and illusion.

suddenly.

The door opened.

Four ghosts emerged from inside again.

They were all fierce and menacing, and
Head straight for Ji Yi!

Ji Yi frowned and gripped the chainsaw tightly.

"Being turned? Impossible. Ghost tales shouldn't be able to interfere with our understanding."

But what if the summoned ghost stories are normal?
The only one who is not normal is himself.

Ji Yi's mind raced, and she immediately grasped the essence of the matter.

"It seems my idea was right. The closer the player is to the headless ghost, the greater the impact."

Now that I'm experiencing such intense hallucinations...
It must be a headless ghost struggling in its death throes!

"At this moment, my five senses, and even my memories, will no longer be reliable."

"boom."

Ji Yi slammed the chainsaw down on the ground.

Then he closed his eyes.

The footsteps of the four ghosts grew closer and closer.

A terrifying sense of oppression washed over me.

"It's all fake! You're all fake!"

Ji Yi attempted to put herself in the shoes of a mentally ill person.

"Ji Yi! What are you doing? Run!"

Sudden.

Miss Cat's voice came from behind.

Who is she again? My teammate?
No, I remember.
She is my love!

But so what? It's all fake!
The hyperdimensional game was fake, the island ghost story instance was fake, it was all just a fantasy I had before I jumped off a building because I was in debt!
The noises around her grew louder and louder. Ji Yi didn't even need to open her eyes to see her surroundings clearly.

Tang Hulu and Zhuge Dengpao blocked the four ghosts, shouting, "Ji Yi, run!"

Then it was torn apart by four ghost stories.

"Haha! I don't have X-ray vision, how could I possibly see that? This illusion is too fake!"

Then, Miss Cat stood in front of the four ghosts and was dismembered by them with an axe.

"Miss Cat, My Love"

Two streams of tears flowed down Ji Yi's face.

But soon, he noticed something was wrong.

"No way, what kind of lover am I? I don't even know your real name, how could you possibly be my lover?!"

That makes absolutely no sense!

Your hallucination is so fake!

Then, the scene changed again.

Ji Yi's mind went blank for a moment.

In a daze, the surroundings turned into daytime again.

He sat in front of an arcade game in the mall, next to a cat girl dressed in a JK uniform.

"Ji Yi, what are you daydreaming about? We've won so many game coins, let's go exchange them!"

Ji Yi seemed to have forgotten everything that had just happened: "Hey, who are you?"

"Huh? Are you stupid? I'm Xue Xiaomao."

I searched through the extra memories in my mind.

It seems that's the case. It really is Xue Xiaomao. She was his college classmate and is now his girlfriend.

"No, I'm so poor, where would I get a girlfriend?"

Xue Xiaomao touched Ji Yi's forehead, her tone concerned:

"Are you really stupid? I'm a rich woman who's been supporting you for so many years. How come you're turning your back on me now?"

Ji Yi said suspiciously, "I know I'm as handsome as Pan An, and people call me a high-end version of Daniel Wu, but I still don't think any rich woman would be interested in me."

"You need to be more confident. You're not only handsome, but also extremely talented!"

"Hmph, are you really my girlfriend?"

"Replacement guaranteed."

How tall am I?

"181."

"My weight?"

"69kg."

"My size?"

"18."

"You know me so well, you really are my girlfriend!"

"Of course! Let's hurry up, the mall will close soon."

"and many more."

Ji Yi still did not leave her seat.

"what happened?"

"I am beautiful and have a large bust of 34G," asked Xue Xiaomao.

Why can't I recall even a single intimate detail from our relationship?

Xue Xiaomao tilted her head: "Ji Yi, what are you doing? You're so weird. Let's go, the mall is about to close."

"Strange? No, no, no! I have absolutely no image of you naked in my mind, nor any details of what we did together. I can't recall any of these things. Do you know why?"

Xue Xiaomao shook her head: "I don't know."

"Hahaha!"

Ji Yi let out three intermittent laughs.

"I'm a 26-year-old virgin, a genuine virgin. No matter how realistic your illusion is, it can't possibly depict memories I've never experienced!"

"I have no idea what you look like naked!"

He remained seated and forcefully pulled down Xue Xiaomao's skirt with one hand.

then.

I saw the mosaic.

"Ha! Ha! Ha! I usually only see cavalrymen's teeth!!! You damn illusion!"

All of a sudden.

The ceiling went dark.

With the death of the headless demon,

All distorted perceptions were eliminated, and memories were restored.

Ji Yu opened his eyes.

He saw three people surrounding him.

The three of them had strange expressions.

"You've also just broken free from hallucinations?"

Tang Hulu answered somewhat timidly:

"The headless ghost identified you as the biggest threat and concentrated its power on you alone. The more it concentrates its strength, the stronger the cognitive distortion it creates. We're just keeping an eye on you to prevent you from being controlled by illusions."

"However! Brother Ji is truly amazing! He actually managed to stay in place without being affected by cognitive distortion, relying solely on his willpower and intellect."

"Wait. None of that matters."

Ji Yi interrupted.

"You mean you all heard what I just said?"

“Yes,” Miss Cat replied.

She suddenly made a delicate gesture with her fingers, and said in an affected manner, "Miss Cat, my love."

I squeezed my eyes hard, but no tears came out.

She changed her expression again: "I have no idea what you look like naked."

Then, Miss Cat casually pulled off a non-existent skirt and gave a dry, indifferent laugh: "Ha. Ha. Ha. I usually watch cavalry."

Tang Hulu suddenly cried out:
"Brother Ji! Brother Ji, what's wrong? Your face is so red it's practically bleeding!"
