This world is called the Viridian Federation, and its society is based on a strange mineral called the Word Stone. The Mantra Stone is not an earth mineral, but an "extraterrestrial visitor" brought by a meteor shower hundreds of years ago. This ore has a unique radiation field effect:
1. "Resonance field" effect: Within the coverage of an energy field of a specific frequency (generated by the large transmission tower "Virita" controlled by the federal government), when a human** deliberately tells a lie that goes against his or her own cognition**, his or her brain will produce special bioelectrical fluctuations.
2. "Cocooning" phenomenon: This bioelectrical fluctuation is captured and amplified by nearby mantra stones (often processed into small accessories, architectural decorations, or even incorporated into building materials). The liar is immediately enveloped in a translucent, cocoon-like, tough "energy cocoon". The calluses form very quickly (1-2 seconds) and spread upward from the feet to the top of the head.
3. Characteristics of cocoon:
Physical isolation: The cocoon is extremely tough and difficult to destroy by conventional means (violent destruction may result in injuries or even death to those inside). A microenvironment is formed inside to ensure life support (air and moisture circulation).
Time limit: The duration of the cocoon is directly proportional to the "seriousness" (subjective maliciousness and social harm) of the lie, which may range from minutes (such as an inconsequential polite lie) to hours, days, or even theoretically permanent (such as a subversive and devastating big lie).
