Lord of the Silver Crow

However, for Yago, this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

He carefully observed his surroundings and observed his own appearance.

Combining the hundreds of previous deaths and Attila’s warnings, he summarized a few things:

1. This "eternal nightmare", this mirror world, is always shrouded in darkness, shrouded in night.

2. This "eternal nightmare" is not big. Judging from his hundreds of "deaths" before, the size range is less than the size of a city. It can even be said that it is basically concentrated in a small town. .

3. This "eternal nightmare" does not have a main timeline, or that the timeline here is intersecting, and it will go back and forth at different "times" because it touches various nodes.

For example, most of the things he experienced before were about the church that worshiped the "Master of the Night".

When you touch different nodes, you will jump to different points in time and see different developments and even contradictions, conflicts, and influences.

Yes, in this "eternal dream", not only the "past" will affect the "now", the "present" will also affect the "past".

The past, present, and future intersect in circles, not linearly.

4. Regarding the instability of this "eternal nightmare".

The specific reason cannot be determined, but it can be known that things in the eternal nightmare will change due to fluctuations.

Yago actually thinks it might be related to the time crossing of "past", "present" and "future".

Those shadows covering his body will become unstable, especially when the cognition of the person covered by the dream power has a clear cognition of himself, and this cognition will appear when it is different from the current situation.

Yago is not sure about the condition of "clearly knowing".

It was just a subjective conclusion he had drawn from his hundreds of death observations.

However, he did not feel that this guess was wrong.

Every time I wake up in a critical moment, I can perceive the "shadow" covering my body to change and leave.

As if these shadows were hanging over him with his self-awareness and self-knowledge.

However, it was only the shadow of himself.

His perception of the outside world will not affect the outside world anyway.

And, there is one more thing.

Attila once mentioned the "destroyed sequence path".

The path related to the "disappearance of the wizard".

Under Attila’s description, the sequential approach that allowed Yago to come to the conclusion that "life exists in cognitive form".

In Attila’s statement, the so-called “path” is not a path to become a “god”, but wizards, this group of seekers who feel like mad scientists, developed in pursuit of a higher level of life form direction.

That "cognitive" approach, that Attila mentioned the code-named "Man of Thousand Faces" approach.

"Personality Mask".

To be honest, Yago cannot be said to be familiar with such things as the "personality mask", but he cannot be said to be unfamiliar either.

After all, the settings related to the personality mask have appeared in too many works in previous lives.

Psychology, soul, in a world where there is no magical power, in his previous life, is a very mysterious thing.

And the biggest feature of psychology is... "unprovable".

All theories are structured through observation, summarization and model analysis.

Because there is no means to directly observe the psychology, there is no means to directly observe the process of mental activity.

Because of psychology, because psychology is unprovable, various schools have emerged.

The sources of these genres are also diverse.

Some "wild" psychologists have constructed a mental model themselves.

Some are cross-professional scholars in other majors, such as biology and genetics, who link biological consciousness and psychology to analysis.

Some scholars in journalism and media start their research from the collective trend of mass psychology.

Some are people in society and even in economics. Society is constructed by humans, and the relationship between people and society is also very close, but the specific relationship requires various studies.

And some are not scholars at all, but profit-driven businessmen.

It is not uncommon for pharmaceutical companies to buy science columnists to write articles in order to sell drugs.

Others are formed under the coercion of the masses and pushed by a certain group.

Human beings are also intelligent creatures that are affected by spirit.

The examples of placebo and nocebo are enough to prove that they will have more or less physical changes because of what they believe.

"Mental immutability" can be said to be the most ridiculous argument in Yago's previous life.

In Yago’s previous lives, there was a school of psychology that had a great reputation, or because its image was intuitive and clear, it was easier for people to understand and spread widely.

Psychoanalysis.

In this group, there is a psychologist, a psychologist named "Carl Gustav Jung", who established some concepts in his theory.

Mind, consciousness, individual subconscious, collective subconscious...

Mind is the overall description and comprehensive description of a person's spirit, and it can also be called "personality structure".

And "consciousness", "individual subconsciousness" and "collective subconsciousness" constitute the three parts of the whole mind.

These concepts can be seen in many fantasy works.

The reason is that the predecessors of these concepts are related to various myths, and Yago learned about this psychologist.

Simply put, the consciousness in it is closer to the "self".

"Collective subconsciousness" is related to biology and genetics. It is not easy to understand it. Combined with the statement of another part of psychologists, it can be said that the collective subconsciousness comes from the ancestors who stayed in the continuous natural evolution and elimination. Commonality within genes.

For example, the gene of violent tendency originates from the hunting and competition of ancestors in nature. With this kind of gene, if they have an advantage and survive, the gene will be passed on.

Needless to say, the relationship between biology, genetics and psychology is that most psychologists agree that the formation of psychology is partly related to genes.

The so-called "collective subconsciousness" is formed by the influence of various genes. This subconsciousness is hard to detect, not obvious or even unconscious.

Jung himself also used a metaphor to illustrate:

"The small islands above the water are the consciousness that humans can perceive"

"The part of the ground under the water that is exposed by the tide is the personal unconsciousness."

"The bottom layer of the island is the seabed as the base, which is the collective subconscious."
