"Then, let's begin." Dr. Shen's voice came from the speaker and temporarily broke the silence in the echo-free room. "Focus on the image and suppress the illusion."
In the small room, Gu Jun sat in the middle of the chair and looked at the screen on the wall. His surroundings became extremely quiet again. He could not hear anything. All the sound waves were absorbed by the thick fiber glass and sound-absorbing sponge.
He focused all his attention on the image on the screen.
The lines were spinning and changing, forming all kinds of indescribable shapes.
Five minutes later, he calmed his breathing and felt nothing. Ten minutes later, the sound of his heartbeat, breathing, and the movement of his stomach filled his mind, but he could suppress it.
Twenty minutes later, he could still focus. The lines were just lines, there were no illusions.
Thirty minutes later, the reverse hallucination in his brain's sensory cortex gradually collapsed. Reverse hallucination meant that there was a lot of stimulation, but it made you feel like nothing was happening.
Gu Jun could clearly feel the touch of the chair, the friction between his skin and his clothes, and even the weight of his hair on his scalp. These were all information that the brain would usually choose to ignore. At that moment, because the brain did not have enough sensory information, it became intense and turbulent.
He took a deep breath. He could clearly feel his heart beating faster, and his head was a little swollen.
But this was already a big improvement from a month ago. At the tenth minute of the test, he had already started to experience the reverse hallucination collapse.
Dr. Shen said that the higher the spirituality of a person, the easier it was for them to lose the reverse hallucination and feel uncomfortable. It was just like how people with high spirituality were prone to insomnia, and people with low spirituality could fall asleep no matter where they went. But this did not work on Wu Shiyu. There was always an exception.
Damn, the distracting thoughts are starting to increase. Gu Jun quickly tried to calm his mind, but the more he tried, the more confused he became. It was like he did not know where to put his hands when he was sleeping.
All the sensations in his body became stronger. He even had a strange heavy feeling like his skin was pressing on his body.
Some hallucinations also appeared in front of his eyes. The lines turned into blood vessels, and then superficial fascia, deep fascia, and bones.
At the same time, in the monitoring room next to them, Tong Ye, Dr. Shen, and a few other researchers were staring at the real-time monitoring data on the screen.
From the beginning to the last twenty minutes, Gu Jun's heart rate and brainwaves had been as stable as an old dog.
"Tong Ye, where did you find this treasure?" Dr. Shen sighed again. He had said the same thing many times this month.
He, Shen Xuan, had joined Phecda as a psychiatrist. After that, he joined the Phoenix Squad. After that incident, he was still able to stay and was later promoted to the headquarters. Dr. Shen had participated in thousands of mental strength tests, both domestically and abroad.
There weren't many people who could be this steady in the first 20 minutes. It was the first time he had seen someone who could do this after a month of special training.
"With this level of mental strength, Ah Jun will be able to establish himself in Phecda," Dr. Shen said.
"I'm afraid that we'll treat him like a treasure, but others will treat him like grass." Tong Ye chuckled. "Let's give him more information! It won't be finished in a few hours. "
Dr. Shen increased the speed of the changes on the screen to increase the burden on Gu Jun's perception.
Another ten minutes passed. Gu Jun's indicators were all messed up. It had been long enough. Dr. Shen stopped the image and announced, "Ah Jun, it's over."
The computer screen calculated Gu Jun's mental strength in real time. The number was 75.
"Tong Ye, this is good, this is good." Dr. Shen's face was full of joy, as if he was looking at a treasure, a miracle.
The other researchers also laughed. "This is a bit high." "An increase of 10 points in a month!"
For those who studied parapsychology, this was a miracle.
Even though mental strength could be increased, just like the human body, there was a limit. After running a 100-meter dash in 10 seconds, it was extremely difficult to go beyond 0.01 seconds. In the field of mental strength, Gu Jun's previous level of 65 was already very high. Now that he had reached 75, it had broken through the limits of what they could achieve in their experiments.
"Amazing!" Dr. Shen nodded. "75 points can rank at the top of any ESP group in the world."
"Haha, with such a talent, we'll have a way to deal with those people." Tong Ye was excited, but after thinking about it, he became serious. "But we still need to work harder. Those people should not be at this level … and they are inhumane, to the extent that they would feed their children LSD … "
LSD was lysergic acid diethylamide. It was the strongest hallucinogen known to man. A typical dose was one-tenth of the weight of a grain of sand, and it had to be calculated in micrograms. But that was enough to plunge a person into an intense hallucination for four to twelve hours. All the senses, feelings, memories … everything would be turned upside down.
After taking one dose of LSD, a person's mind would be forever changed.
Dr. Shen pushed on his glasses silently. He knew what Tong Ye had been through.
In the 1950s and 1960s, LSD had a huge impact on psychology, psychiatry, and parapsychology, and there had been various experimental studies. But the subjects were children … Of course, there was no such thing. There was a theory in parapsychology that said children's ESP was the strongest, and the older they grew, the more they lost this talent.
During that incident, Dr. Shen had no idea whether Tong Ye had been forced to drink LSD or not, but in the past, Tong Ye did not like to drink.
"Gu Jun's potential is not limited to this," Dr. Shen said comfortingly. "He still has room to improve. Let's take it step by step."
On the other side, the researchers brought Gu Jun out from the soundproof room and then brought Wu Shiyu in to start her evaluation.
Dr. Shen and the rest continued to study the data. Wu Shiyu and Gu Jun's talents were different. She was better at making connections and was more sensitive to details. Simple things, on the other hand, did not move her easily. Gu Jun, on the other hand, was more well-rounded and stable.
Another half an hour later, the computer screen showed the result of the test: 70.
Compared to before the special training, it had also increased by ten points, but the increase was not as difficult as Gu Jun's.
Shortening the 100m sprint from 14 seconds to 12 seconds and shortening the 100m sprint from 12 seconds to 10 seconds were both two seconds faster, but the difficulty was different.
"Tong Ye, your eyes are as good as ever," Dr. Shen praised.
"Back when I chose you to join Phoenix, you were very proud, weren't you?" Tong Ye said.
Amidst laughter, the two old men walked out from the monitoring room and announced the result to Gu Jun, Wu Shiyu, and the others.
"You guys." Tong Ye looked at Gu Jun and Xue Ba with satisfaction. "I promise you, if you go through what you went through before, it will be much easier."
"I hope so." Gu Jun smiled. He was very happy.
Indeed, after this month of special training, he could feel that his mind was a lot stronger. Plus, after a month of stable use of targeted drugs, the tumor should have shrunk, and his mind was a lot more at ease. His current state was very different from when he had just returned from the Otherworld.
Moreover, he knew how to use firearms and fight. If he fought with Wang Ruoxiang now, he was confident that he could win, but not against Xue Ba.
With my current mental power … Gu Jun, if I use the Word of Destruction again, my heart won't stop after that, right?
"Then we've completed the mission." Wu Shiyu's eyes were shining. "Tong Ye, can we take a day off?"
"What are you talking about?" Tong Ye instantly scolded them with a smile. "You've only completed the mission, but you haven't given me a surprise yet. The assessment team will be here the day after tomorrow. They're here to wreak havoc, and they've brought a Special Mobile Force with them. They want to prove that even without our special training, they can perform no worse than you. In fact, they might even be better than you. They want to prove that their ESP is just a bluff. "
"Hmm …" Even though Dr. Shen was confident, he was also worried because this was a veteran Special Mobile Force.
Tong Ye looked at Gu Jun and then at Wu Shiyu, and he said angrily, "What you need to do is teach them a lesson and embarrass them! Let them see what ESP is really like. Don't play around because this is not only related to the future of the Problematic Team but also the future of Phecda. Whether this organization will undergo a reformation or not will depend on you. "
The group of lab members knew that Elder Tong was not lying.
Gu Jun nodded seriously. He knew what kind of enemies he was facing, and he knew that Phecda needed to change. "Understood."
"That's why." Wu Shiyu sighed. "It's not a holiday."
