Chapter 454: 453. Cognitive Impairnt_1
Upon hearing Shia’s words, Lu Ban beca instantly alert.
As a Chosen by Gods who delved into the secrets of the Foreign Domain, Du Danping had certainly left his mark in both the Abandoned Capital and this world, and collecting his lody Shard was also one of Lu Ban’s tasks.
However, at present, Lu Ban only possessed two of them, one left at Nanhua Private Renji Hospital, and the other in that strange small town within the Abandoned Capital.
Just as he had completed the task left by Red Leaf and glimpsed into Red Leaf’s life, if he could obtain all of Du Danping’s lody Shards, could he possibly peer into the whole life of this Chosen by Gods whom Lu Ban had only seen as remains?
Moreover, according to what Cui Siter said, he was guided by Du Danping, so might the past Du Danping truly exist in a future Foreign Domain’s space-ti?
“You elaborate on that.”
Lu Ban hurriedly inquired.
Qin Tiantian found the na Du Danping sowhat familiar upon hearing it, but her survival instinct pushed her to continue eating, turning a deaf ear to matters beyond her al.
After all, her mory only lasted seven seconds, and she would forget this al once she was finished with it.
Feng Yu frowned slightly, she glanced at Lu Ban then turned her gaze onto Shia as well.
“It was after we left the Abandoned Capital; I went through three more tasks, and it was during the last task that I returned to the Wasteland. I traveled with a caravan and saw the real humans there and their city-states. Then, in the city-state, I t another Chosen by Gods who was on a different task and received a lot of help from him. At first, I thought he was a local Chosen by Gods from the Wasteland. However, after watching your film yesterday, I realized that man seed to be Du Danping.”
Shia highlighted the key points of her task experience.
“Would Chosen by Gods descend into the sa Foreign Domain in a way that is not as fellow Walkers?”
Lu Ban thought it was strange.
If they were all Chosen by Gods from the Silent Lands, then going to the sa Foreign Domain scenario, they would usually go as fellow Walkers with the sa goal.
If there were two groups of Chosen by Gods in the sa tispace, and their goals were not aligned, it might lead to conflicts.
Just like those Bandaged People on He Dao were to Lu Ban.
But at that ti, the parties obviously belonged to different Divine Beings, the others were not even from the Silent Lands.
So, Lu Ban presud this type of situation would only arise when two or more Divine Beings were trying to influence a certain span of space-ti.
If they are all Chosen by Gods from the Silent Lands, why were Du Danping and Shia not fellow Walkers?
Why did Du Danping also need to conceal his identity?
“There’s no need, the Silent Lands seek efficiency and place the most suitable people into the most fitting scenarios.”
Feng Yu shook her head.
“Du Danping is already dead in reality, right?”
She sought confirmation.
“Yes, I personally reduced him to ashes.”
Lu Ban said matter-of-factly.
“…”
Feng Yu was silent for a mont.
“Du Danping’s status might be very special; perhaps he found a way to break free from the Silent Lands, or he can freely choose which Foreign Domain to descend into.”
She continued.
“Also, one more thing can be confird, the past Du Danping still survives in the Foreign Domain to this day, and perhaps many of his tasks are set in the future. If there is an opportunity, you might et him again.”
“One more thing, there might be a lody Shard of Du Danping in the Wasteland.”
Lu Ban said, sowhat reluctantly.
The bugs from the Wasteland that wanted to mate with him were sowhat unacceptable to Lu Ban, but according to Shia’s account, there were at least living people there. If he had the chance next ti, Lu Ban would definitely go to the Wasteland to find out more.
“Right, what’s the na of the city-state you arrived at in the Wasteland?”
Lu Ban asked again, planning to inquire, so he could look for the opportunity to search for that city-state the next ti he went to the Wasteland.
“I’m not quite clear on the specific aning of the city-state’s na, but according to their pronunciation, it should be called… Utopia, and the leader’s na is Plato.”
Shia reflected as she spoke.
“Utopia, Plato…”
Lu Ban, of course, knew these two terms.
Utopia is an imagined state of society that’s now commonly used in a negative aspect, while Plato is a philosopher whose work ‘Republic’ describes a social system with embryonic utopian ideas.
Utopia led by Plato has a surrealist implication.
Connecting to the fact that the Remains of the Sage were nad Achilles, Lu Ban strongly suspected whether the renowned figures of the Wasteland were all nas familiar to him.
And whether the reason this Foreign Domain had such naming conventions was because a Chosen by Gods had crossed over to the early days of the Wasteland, influencing society, and perhaps even creating the system of the Saint?
“Right, why didn’t you call Old Cui this ti?”
Lu Ban decided to set aside those thoughts for now.
“I sent an invitation, but he did not respond.”
Shia answered.
“Could it be that sothing has happened to Old Cui?”
Lu Ban had a slightly bad premonition.
The invitations to the Silent Lands were not sent in real-ti but would choose an appropriate ti for delivery. If Cui Siter did not respond, it ant either he was not interested in participating in this high-difficulty mission, or he had encountered so problem that he could not get out of.
For example, if Cui Siter had died after they left the Abandoned Capital, naturally he would not be able to receive the invitation and therefore could not co.
Shia and Lu Ban received no response to their ssages in the Silent Lands, indicating that Cui Siter indeed had run into so trouble.
“If we get a chance to go to the Abandoned Capital, we’ll have to look for him.”
Lu Ban could only hope that Cui Siter was rely trapped and had not encountered an unforeseen demise.
For the mont, their focus should be on the mission at hand.
“From those reports about the amusent park, we can deduce that the strangeness of the amusent park has only appeared recently, and it affects a significant number of people, also possessing a certain degree of cognitive hindrance capabilities.”
Feng Yu summarized.
“Cognitive hindrance?”
Shia obviously didn’t understand the aning of the term and asked.
“It ans it can affect your perception, making you think red is blue, left is right, and stones are food.”
Feng Yu explained.
“So stones can’t be eaten?”
Shia was surprised.
“…Ahem, anyway, cognitive hindrance is a kind of superpower ability that’s quite terrifying for common people, but for those who have seen extraordinary powers and endured Pollution, like us, there are certain thods to avoid it.”
Feng Yu cleared his throat and said.
“Firstly, the effect of cognitive hindrance is to confuse your perception of the things around you, so you need to establish a reference point, which is to confirm a concept. When this concept doesn’t match your perception, it represents that you have been affected by cognitive hindrance.”
“We need to establish so reference concepts for the amusent park.”
