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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANASdTxaljTBN
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANABAwYvxLa43
However, entering a cave that has seemingly never been processed by human hands feels like losing a protective shield, leaving only tranquility and profoundness.
44Please respect copyright.PENANApQALYh7GaF
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANA1VSRjfmh5X
The cave seems very deep, and as I hesitate whether to continue walking forward, I once again feel like I'm stepping into nothingness!
44Please respect copyright.PENANAiEFpUch1Xa
Speaking of stepping into nothingness... I once heard a rumor.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAatAwBAPzYQ
The rumor is about the brain detecting a self-preservation mechanism that occurs when the body is in danger.
44Please respect copyright.PENANApyGbFsB3aU
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAP86mdFC1Fu
This is also the brain's detection of a potential emergency behavior, as if the person is about to fall into a coma.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAruW7SzpqPX
It's similar to the effects of performing "Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)" or using an "Automated External Defibrillator (AED)".
44Please respect copyright.PENANAHuFRWaalSL
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?
