Maybe I can't have normal youth
Chapter 19 Vomeronasal Apparatus
After a few rounds, we went through a big discussion about the red-eye and blue-eye paradox and teamwork in the gold rush game (aka smuggling game).
Basically, they are all game games. The whole activity didn't get any enlightenment about dreams. On the contrary, I felt a little tired from overusing my brain.
"Unexpectedly, it was already dark!" I checked my phone, and it was almost nine o'clock in the evening.Although I played three games in total, more than three hours passed without knowing it.
"Ah, the schoolbag is really heavy." Before leaving the event building, the magician student felt the weight of the prize.
Of course, nine books, you can also fit this bag.
"Why don't I get some copies for you? Anyway, I'll go back to the bedroom together."
"Ah, so sorry..."
"It's okay, anyway, I'll take three books for you, and they are not heavy."
After all, the two dormitories for boys and girls are only 50 meters away. If we want to walk back to the dormitory from here, we must all be on the same route.It's better to walk together, otherwise if you don't speak much on the same road, you will be embarrassed.
"I thought that today's event will be more about case reasoning and modus operandi. The result is game-like psychological warfare." I kicked the pebbles on the road, probably because I didn't get any inspiration. So I want to make complaints.
"But I think it's a good time. After all, it's hard to make some kind of reasoning that requires special logic when the number of people is large." We chatted and walked slowly in the direction of the dormitory."Are you not having a good time?"
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
"I have a reasoning puzzle that has troubled me for a while. I originally thought that maybe today's event could open up my mind."
"Eh, would you like to tell me? I especially like doing this kind of reasoning puzzles."
"Hmm." Do you really want to say it?How can I say it better, it must be said like a game of reasoning.
This may be the only good time for me to find someone to discuss. The magician also looked very clever, and there was no sense of disobedience at this time. The opportunity was fleeting, and I couldn't hesitate anymore.
"That's it... the whole incident is relatively simple..."
It took more than ten minutes to simply package Siqing's suicide into a short reasoning story.
"In general, that's it. The main reason is to find A's motive for suicide. After all, this is the strangest part of the whole story."
"Ah, yes, I also have such a sense of disobedience." The magician student held his chin in thought, "I think I need some time..."
"It's okay, I just ask casually, don't have any pressure."
We didn't continue talking between us, I held the book, he carried the book, and walked forward in silence.
There were no street lights on this section of the small road, and the sound of knowledge came from the direction of a few large trees nearby, trying to catch the last tail of this midsummer, which was particularly prominent in a quiet environment.I took a deep breath and looked up. Because of the absence of artificial light, the stars on the dark blue sky shone more dazzlingly.
A gust of wind blew, the light gray clouds opened like a curtain, and the bright moonlight poured down.
"Ah! I seem to have some thoughts..." When the path was about to end, the magician student suddenly broke the silence.
"Say, could it be..."
The magician's mouth was opened and closed, and the voice was not loud, but every word came into my ears clearly.
"In this case, will it be able to explain it better?"
A few words, no more than five sentences, but like a thread, connecting all the details together.
Turns out... That's how it turns out!
The road in front of us has widened, and we have crossed this path that is not illuminated by street lights.The orange artificial light sprinkled from the front of the head, illuminating almost all the sights.
And we are almost halfway through.
"I think what you said is super reasonable!"
"But I think there are still some details missing..." The magician student was not very satisfied with his inference.
"Ah, that's because there are some small details that I didn't tell you, because we only walked here for ten to twenty minutes. It may be too time-consuming if we explain everything clearly. But what you said feels like showing me a way of!"
"Ah, that's good, if you say this is the puzzle you saw there? It feels different from what I usually see."
"Ahahaha...I am..." What should I say, "It was a puzzle that a friend of mine gave me. I don't know where she found it."
"Oh~ okay." The magician classmate no longer asked.
"That's right, I want to ask you about other things."
"Yes."
"Do you believe that there are superpowers in this world?"
I don’t know why, I also hope to hear the thoughts of the magician classmates about some inferences about dreams.
"Um...for people like me who pay attention to logic and facts, I don't believe it very much."
"Ahhhhhhhhhh."
"But there are many types of superpowers, but sometimes we just treat some things as superpowers just because we don’t understand some rules of the world, such as some miracles in ancient times, and so on. I can give a scientific explanation." The magician said, "If it is such a "fake" superpower, I believe it, because it does exist; but if it is teleportation and time reversal, I don’t believe in superpowers that are logically prone to paradoxes.”
"So you believe in the existence of "fake" superpowers, but you don't believe in the existence of "true" superpowers that cannot be explained by science." I summarized his words.
"Yes." The magician nodded.
"What if it's similar to mind reading? For example, you can indirectly see things you haven't revealed in your dreams?" I asked tentatively.
"Ah, in this case...I think the two you mentioned are actually different."
"How to say?"
"That is, if it is that kind of instantaneous mind reading, he can read everything I am thinking about now, then I think it does not exist, and it is quite scary to think about it."
Is it scary?Indeed it is.
There was a mixed feeling in my heart.
"But if it's the latter situation you mentioned," he continued, "First I passed a medium of dreams, and then I didn't say anything but it might have revealed some information in my words and deeds. is it?"
"Well, this may be the case."
"Is that what you want to see?"
"No, the other party may not be able to control what she will dream of. It is also possible that she can only dream about things that have a significant impact on people who are particularly close to her life." I analyze my current situation as much as possible.
"Then I don't think it is in the category of superpowers."
"En? How do you say?"
"Do you know the vomeronasal organ?"
"It's a receptor in the nose? But I remember that we humans seem to have degenerated."
"Yes, it's a pair of busy sacs in front of the nasal cavity." The magician pointed to his nose. "We have a more obvious vomeronasal structure in infancy, but it will be highly degraded after adulthood. Generally like snakes, The vomeronasal organs of lizards and the like are particularly developed, which are used to perceive some of the surrounding breath."
"But do you know?" The magician classmate suddenly looked at me seriously, "There are so few human beings whose vomeronasal organs are very developed, so they can feel things that ordinary people can't feel, like the sixth It’s the same. You can’t tell the truth, but it does exist. It’s as if you can’t describe exactly what it feels like to see to a blind person, and degraded humans cannot really appreciate what it’s like to have a developed vomeronasal organ. ."
"I heard that people with well-developed vomeronasal organs can accurately smell who is a hundred meters away based on their breath. What's more, they can get more concrete information through the feelings of vomeronasal organs."
"More concrete information?"
"If you describe it more mysteriously, it is that this person seems to have superpowers and can generally see you. Before even seeing you, he perceives some of your information through some magical methods. But in fact it is only developed My vomeronasal organ is just doing a strange thing."
"So," the magician classmate still looked at me with that very serious look.
I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart.
Did he find out that the example I gave was actually talking about myself?
"According to your description, the other party may just be an organ that we don't know is particularly developed. Or it can even be said that if she has strong information collection and reasoning connection ability as an aid, everything can be said. It works."
"It's not that you have superpowers, it's just that some unknown receptors are particularly developed?"
Ah, use the vomeronasal organ as an analogy?
It's really reassuring.I couldn't help but show a faint smile.
"What do you think of my explanation?"
"Just as satisfied as the inferences you gave me." I looked straight into the eyes of the magician classmate and replied, "But if your friend has this ability...Are you afraid?"
"How can I put it, there must be some worries about being spied on by others about things that I don't want to expose, right. But, didn't you also say that there is no way to control it? Then I have any reason to blame me Where are your friends?"
"Puff-" is the voice of my heart.
I couldn't help but stop, closed my eyes, and asked for more time to recall this moment.
"What's wrong?" The magician looked back
"Nothing," I opened my eyes and gave him a big smile. "We're here."
"Oh yes, what..."
"Yep?"
"The three books in your hand are given to you!"
"Huh? This is the prize you have won over a long time in the game."
"There is also a lot of your credit, and you helped me move all the books back."
"But you helped me solve the little reasoning puzzle. You don't owe me any favors."
"Hi, but I can't finish all these books at once, and I happened to have read all three of them."
"Although the other two books are in the original style, maybe you like this one by Higashino Keigo?" The magician classmate was a little uncertain, "I think this book..."
"Stop it! Don't spoil it!!!"
"Ah, sorry haha, so did you accept it?"
"When you gave me these three books for me, you already wanted to give them to me, and you picked them out? Otherwise, how could it be so right."
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh one an an an an individual to be hard to be done!"
"Puff haha-then thank you, I will look good! And...thank you really for giving me some thoughts on the reasoning puzzle~"
"Ah, it's okay, it's all trivial things, and I'm very happy to do this kind of little reasoning, and you are welcome to come to me next time if there are any more."
"Okay, I remember, let's do this first." I stood at the door of the dormitory building and waved goodbye to the magician classmate.
"Well, I hope you like these three books."
