I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World Chapter 91: Terror Valley Effect
Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
"... The word" Horror Valley "was put forward in Ernst-Jentsch's 1906 paper" Psychology of Horror Valley ", and his views were published in Freud's 1919 paper" Terror Valley " Explained, and thus became a famous theory ... "Jiang Chen quickly turned over the introduction with some irritability, and then looked for the keyword from the tadpole-sized word.
"Because we are afraid of death, because we are afraid of disease, because the empathy mechanism is disordered, because we cannot empathize with robots ... Robots." Jiang Chen murmured, his hand holding the book trembling slightly .
What's wrong with this feeling.
Forcing down the restlessness of his heart, Jiang Chen searched for answers in the robot magazine that had been for several years.
The library of Wanghai No. 6 Middle School is very large, and the jungle-like bookshelves are listed in the hall on the first floor, although few students will visit the first floor of this collection. All books can be downloaded on the campus network, and all materials can be searched on the terminal. Rather than being a paper backup of the materials, it is better to say that the books here are stored as "exhibits". Only large libraries at the city and district levels will store paper papers or books that record academic materials. Those are "materials" in the true sense, not "exhibits."
The times are improving, and paper reading has gradually faded out of people's perspective. Although there will be people like Tao Tingting who have a soft spot for paper books, such people are already rare like rare animals.
For example, Tao Tingting, the goddess in Jiang Chen's heart.
However, as a memorial to the old age, the library often retains some old books and periodicals as a reference to history.
At the same time, Jiang Chen always felt that these papers would give him more inspiration. No matter how to consult the artificial intelligence campus elf, the slick-mouthed guy can't give him a sudden explanation, but just keep guiding his psychological problems in the direction of fatigue and learning pressure.
Or misleading?
No matter how you search on the terminal, you cannot get the answer he wants. As if being covered up, the intelligent search assistant unexpectedly "failed" after hearing his description. All the search results given seem to bring the problem to a more complex level.
So during school, he came to the library full of paper books. No one here would mislead him. Some kind of intuition seemed to tell him. The answer he longed for was hidden on a shelf.
He wants to find out what the unnatural feeling is?
The book "Robot Magazine No. 21-About the Disharmony between Humans and Robots" handed by Jiang Chen was taken from this rosin wood-scented bookshelf. Judging from the date of publication in 2021, this is considered an old historical publication.
Of course, printing is new.
"... The higher the degree of simulation of humanoid toys or robots, the more favorable people are, but when a critical point is reached. This kind of favorability will suddenly decrease, and the more you resemble people, the more you will feel annoyed and feared until the bottom. Minor unnatural actions will appear extremely stiff and terrifying ... So it turns out, that is to say, the cleaning robot I met in the morning triggered the Terror Valley effect by staring at me? "Jiang Chen frowned and thought.
My heart throbs inexplicably, something similar to his sight strikes his heart.
A feeling of depression like a cotton throat is getting stronger and stronger.
It seems that something has been forgotten.
What exactly was forgotten?
Suddenly, he subconsciously looked at the stairs leading to the second floor.
However, at this moment-
"Jiang Chen?"
The slender and soft voice touched his eardrum. Jiang Chen turned around in surprise, and saw Tao Tingting standing on the shelf.
That ’s right, I seem to be inviting her to watch a movie, damn, in order to get rid of these boring illusions, I almost forgot to do the right thing!
Jiang Chen scolded inwardly, looking at the girl as beautiful as a princess with a red face, but couldn't say a word.
Tao Tingting stood there quietly, as if waiting for something.
Unable to say ... Jiang Chen opened his mouth halfway. However, the phrase "Are you free tomorrow?" Is as if it is stuck in the throat.
Suddenly, the beautiful face smiled. The bright eyes like the moon buds flashed with a stunning brilliance.
"Do you want to come to my house?"
Jiang Chen froze.
Invite me? Go to her house? But why ...
However, Tingting Ting did not give him the leisure time to think about and turned to the door. Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth, and finally found courage. Followed up.
And the magazine was left on the desk by him.
Looking at the two people leaving, the librarian sitting at the front desk with a blank expression suddenly got up and walked silently to the chair where Jiang Chen was originally sitting.
Staring at the somewhat old magazine for a while, she silently picked it up from the table.
However, she did not put it back on the shelf.
It was torn and thrown into the paper basket.

"Wait a minute. Why ... why did you invite me to your house?" Jiang Chen chased out of the library and walked behind Tao Tingting. After hesitating for a moment, he asked this doubt.
Suddenly, Tao Tingting stopped and the milky skirt swayed gently in the breeze.
The lily flower blooming under the halo in the setting sun is so beautiful.
So much so that Jiang Chen could n’t help but watch it for a while.
The goddess that made him think about it, was biting his lower lip at this moment, his face slightly shy and nodded slightly, and he opened his lips lightly.
"Because, I want to know you."
Understand?
Are you confessing to me? Jiang Chen's face was covered with red tide, and his lips opened and closed stiffly. He couldn't say a word.
The heart pounded loudly, as if to jump out of the chest.
So she likes me too!
Jiang Chen's brain is completely filled with that chaotic joy at this moment, and he has completely lost the ability to think, just looking at the goddess that makes him dream.
Tao Tingting smiled and walked towards the school gate.
Jiang Chen swallowed and raised his stiff pace to follow.
However, at this moment, he accidentally glanced at the unnatural anomaly.
The inexplicable sense of grief climbed into my heart.
The empty gaze was staring at him.
There are also cleaning robots?
Also, there should be all these things ... Jiang Chen muttered in his heart, leaving the unnatural feeling behind him.
The robot seems to have lost interest in him, looking straight in another direction.

The door opened and Tao Tingting led Jiang Chen to the apartment she rented.
One bedroom, one hall apartment with a simple structure. This type of house is very easy to rent near the school and is not expensive. It seems that Tao Tingting, like him, is a person who came to Wanghai City from other places.
There is a hint of jasmine in the room. The clean and tidy light linen wallpaper covers every wall of the living room, and the coffee table and tablecloth are very simple. And the beige sofa.
"Sit free, would you like me to pour you a glass of water?" Tao Tingting turned around and smiled at Jiang Chen.
"Ah, uh, well." Jiang Chen nodded with a flustered expression. Then sat on the sofa.
Looking at the back of Tao Tingting standing beside the cupboard, sniffing the fragrance of the goddess in the air, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smirk.
Although it feels a bit unnatural, it is so happy that it does not matter. Just like being forcibly filled, the lack of reality in my heart disappeared unconsciously.
After a while, Tao Tingting gently carried two glasses of water back to the living room, then smiled at Jiang Chenwei, and placed the water glass in front of Jiang Chen.
"Give."
"Ah. Thank you." As if to hide embarrassment, Jiang Chen quickly took a sip of the cold boiled water while holding the glass.
Tao Tingting sat down beside Jiang Chen, and then looked at Jiang Chen's profile with a smile.
"Uh, is there something on my face?"
"No." Tao Tingting shook his head with a smile, and the soft long hair shook like Liusi.
"Um ..." Jiang Chenyu plugged his eyes into the glass, staring blankly at his reflection in the water.
"I want to know you, can you chat with me?"
Just like being hit by a heavy hammer, Jiang Chen's heart throbbed in an instant.
"Eh? For, why. Do you want to know me?" Jiang Chen's throat moved, and he began to stutter because he was at a loss.
The answer is already clear.
"Because I like you." Tao Tingting stared at Jiang Chen's eyes and smiled authentically.
I always feel inexplicable discomfort, and I feel something is wrong ...
However, this confusion was quickly filled with explosive joy. Dopamine can make people forget to think.
"I, I like you too." Jiang Chen finally summoned the courage to pour out the thoughts accumulated in his chest.
"I know." Tao Tingting looked at Jiang Chen's courage with a smile, "I have been following you for a long time."
...... "I know." "I have been following you for a long time." These two sentences were like a curse, circling happily in his brain.
"Can you tell me your story?" Just like a curious girlfriend, Tao Tingting looked into Jiang Chen's eyes. Blinking those eyes with long eyelashes
"I, I have no story to tell." Jiang Chen moved his face a little embarrassedly, but Tao Tingting moved closer.
"You can talk about anything."
"Then ... okay." Jiang Chen hesitated.
Out of his expectations, he originally thought Tao Tingting was a kind of literary girl who was not good at talking, but at this moment she gave Jiang Chen a feeling of being very talkative.
Since I was a kid, I talked about the memories that were almost covered with white mist. The two had a very pleasant conversation. Although they didn't usually have many intersections, Jiang Chen kept watching her secretly, but at this moment Tao Tingting gave him an illusion he had known for a long time.
It was getting late, so that it was completely dark outside.
"Shall I invite you for a meal?" Tao Tingting said with a smile.
Jiang Chenshen nodded.
Dinner is held in a very relaxed atmosphere. Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, shredded pork with green pepper, and seaweed egg soup are all home-cooked dishes. It can be seen that Tao Tingting was unexpectedly a girl who would be a housekeeper. When thinking of this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a little perturbed.
At his age, the so-called love is eternal.
The food was delicious. He secretly observed Tao Tingting sitting across the table. That cherry bite chews gently
She seems to like tomatoes very much? Is it the kind of people who love to eat sour. And green pepper? Hmm ... but why only eat these two things?
Jiang Chen observes carefully and secretly writes down her taste.
Looking like she likes me ... should she be my girlfriend now?
It ’s not clear yet, is it waiting for me to take the initiative?
Thinking of this, he swallowed softly and then looked away unnaturally.
The inaugural song of the popular TV series "Ashes Empire" is playing on the holographic screen.
"Delicious?" Tao Tingting looked at Jiang Chen with a smile.
"Ah, ah! It's delicious." Jiang Chen smiled in a panic, and then buried his head in a few bites of rice to cover up the embarrassed expression on his face.
"I heard that there are ghosts in the school library, did you see them?"
"Ghost, ghost? Deceptively, that kind of pseudo-science or something." Jiang Chen smiled strangely.
"Are you still satisfied?" However, Tao Tingting's next sentence is a bit different from the foreword.
"Satisfied?" Jiang Chen asked in confusion, suddenly thinking of what seemed to look aside, scratching some reddish ears with embarrassment, and nodding stiffly, "When, of course I am satisfied."
Is invited by the goddess Zhao Simu thinking to go to her house. Is there anything more happy for a teenager?
"Don't choke on dinner, come and drink." Tao Tingting smiled and passed the glass. That was Jiang Chen's drinking glass just now.
"Uh!" Cheek took the cup slightly hot, Jiang Chen concealed embarrassment and poured water into his mouth in silence.
Are n’t there soups? Why is water ...
The follow-up plot of "Ember Empire" was shown on the screen. Ryan fell in the pool of blood and stopped breathing. Unexpected ending? I always felt inexplicable haste, as if I started to explain a lot, but in the end, the **** fell out without explaining anything.
The ending is followed by the blood of the-end.
Looking at Jiang Chen who was lying on the dinner table, Tao Tingting's pure and quiet face showed a smile.
That smile is very strange and empty.
So sleepy, so tired, so sleepy ...
Through that drooping and hazy vision, he just glimpsed vaguely, what appeared to be a pure white floral dress on the floor ...
The pure white is stepping on the quiet steps and approaching him.
The back of the head was surrounded by tender touch, and the consciousness gradually fell into the abyss. (To be continued.)
