I walked into the cave with a torch in hand.

If I were to say that this was my first time entering a cave, it wouldn't seem accurate.

I have been living in an underground city since I was born.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTAS2Y53bj
Living in the underground city, I am like a descendant of cave dwellers, except that technological advancements have allowed descendants like me to have light, fire, and fresh air in the lightless caves.

However, entering a cave that has seemingly never been processed by human hands feels like losing a protective shield, leaving only tranquility and profoundness.

The torch's light is not very effective in this pitch-black darkness; at most, it can only illuminate a three-meter diameter centered around me.

The cave seems very deep, and as I hesitate whether to continue walking forward, I once again feel like I'm stepping into nothingness!
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoChgrqauVz
Speaking of stepping into nothingness... I once heard a rumor.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAHAV9t8o3
The rumor is about the brain detecting a self-preservation mechanism that occurs when the body is in danger.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoJd2rIWI6
One example is when a person experiences occasional moments of feeling like they're stepping into nothingness and wakes up from sleep when they are excessively tired.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrCnL5GtwP
This is also the brain's detection of a potential emergency behavior, as if the person is about to fall into a coma.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGsWUJseW1
It's similar to the effects of performing "Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)" or using an "Automated External Defibrillator (AED)".
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl97BxHVXLD
And me... Could it be that every time I experience that feeling of stepping into nothingness, it's also because my brain is protecting me?
