What is the experience of becoming a vampire

Chapter 363: The Cause of Variation (Part 2)

At the airport, after Xia Libing returned to WeChat, she put her mobile phone in her pocket and continued to look at a black soft leather notebook in her hand.

However, this notebook is neither the one she used to record her own situation and behavior patterns, nor the two books she used to record Xiangkun’s mutation and sleep observations with special symbols, but a significantly smaller A6 size book. notebook.

What is recorded in the book is the "Napoleon cake" that Xiang Kun perceived Lao Xia Juxian in a "super-sensing state" a few days ago. Through his "compilation", the cognitive information that cannot be perceived with traditional sensory abilities is passed through "Description" by "black circle graffiti".

The "black circle graffiti" made by Xiang Kun before is basically just a rough idea of ​​the cognitive information he perceives, and he records what he thinks of, so it is very fragmented.

But this time, he tried to describe Lao Xia Juxian's "Napoleon cake" through black circle graffiti, focusing only on this object.

But just like the last time he perceives the "mutant creature" holding the rabbit woodcarving in the "super-sensing state", Lao Xia Ju's "Napoleon cake" constantly perceives it, just like a layered cake or a doll It is the same, layer after layer, endless, as if forever perceiving.

Therefore, Xiang Kun finally finished the black circle graffiti on the 74 pages of the A6 notebook, and did not fully describe the cognitive information of "Napoleon Cake"-or according to his judgment, it is impossible to describe completely. , May have something to do with it being an item that emerges through "super-connected things".

He drew this entire book of "black circle graffiti" aimed at Napoleon's cakes. The main purpose is to help Lao Xia further understand the ability of "fantasy appearing", analyze the essence of appearing objects, and find out The relationship and essence between "love objects" and "super-connected objects" will develop more methods of applying "super-sensing objects system".

The various black circle graffiti sent to Xia Libing by Xiang Kun before, although she can see that these circles and arcs have some hidden law, they are not scribbles, but it is difficult to see the specific law.

Even if Xiang Kun later told her the meaning of the arcs, she could not correspond to them. After all, the perception in the "super-sensing state" is difficult for other people without this kind of perception ability to understand, and even Xiang Kun Kun's own understanding of those cognitive information is also very limited.

Now this 74-page "black circle graffiti" notebook is all describing an object, and it is an object that Lao Xia himself "appears", which is more convenient for Lao Xia to understand and analyze related cognitive information .

But when I just got this small notebook full of paintings, Lao Xia read it for a long time, used a variety of methods to analyze and summarize the characteristics, and consulted Xiang Kun, who created the black circle graffiti at any time, but still failed to explore. Get a clue to understand these circles and arcs.

The opportunity appeared last night, or it should be said early this morning.

When Xia Libing was vigil for Xiang Kun during his sleep period, while flipping through the black circle graffiti notebook named "CAKE01" that she had replaced, while actually "appearing" "Napoleon cake", he suddenly felt something.

She seems to have established a special connection with the 74 black circle graffiti on the pamphlet in her hand, but she has been unable to specifically and practically perceive the impact of this connection on her.

Xia Libing kept trying and finally found that when she imagined the process of "appearing" Napoleon cake in her consciousness, and then imagined herself as the "Napoleon cake" of her own appearance, she could easily follow this connection. Immersed in a very strange world of consciousness.

In that conscious world, she experienced an unprecedented perception-but she was still very clear that this was not the "sixth sense" described by Xiang Kun, nor did she enter the "super-sensing state", because this perception is still It is based on the cognition of the other five senses.

Recalling Xiang Kun’s description of "Little Apple" through the "love object" in her hand, she perceives the emotional projection of the "eight-armed eight-eyed wood carving" she has never seen or even knew of its existence, Xia Libing guessed , I may also be able to perceive other "love objects" through this special sense organ and through this conscious world, and even through this way, I can perceive other "love objects" that can establish contact with or receive "love objects". People affected by emotions.

Xia Libing took the experience very seriously, just like a person entering the water for the first time. Instead of exploring the water, first learn to tread water and learn to swim.

This discovery made Xia Libing realize that the "black circle graffiti" created by Xiang Kun expresses the cognitive information in the "super-sensing state", although it is "visible" on the surface, it is a "symbol" and " Code”, but in fact, because of the particularity of the information it represents, the best way to “understand” is to establish contact and perception.

In other words, the 74-page black circle graffiti in this "CAKE01" notebook is not for viewing, but for "use".

She also knows that the reason for the sudden contact with the black circle graffiti during this time period should be related to Xiang Kun's mutation during the sleeping period.

This notebook was drawn by Xiang Kun before he drank blood and fell asleep. When Xia Libing got it, it had not been officially transformed into an "emotional injection item."

It was not until Xiang Kun drank blood and fell asleep this time that the process of transformation was completely completed at this time. She also established a relationship with this “emotion” through the “Napoleon cake” described by her. The deep connection of "Notes".

After Xiang Kun woke up to know the situation, he also believed that Lao Xia’s perception of the "love object" connection was somewhat similar to that of "Little Apple", except that Lao Xia had not yet "explored" other "love objects". ".

Of course, it is also possible that Lao Xia and "Little Apple" are not on the same "network", or connected to "love things", not the same "port" and "protocol."

The details depend on Lao Xia's follow-up exploration.

Coming to the airport, due to the delay and delay of the plane, during the few hours in the waiting room, Xia Libing has been frequently entering the world of consciousness through "CAKE01", practicing the ability to control his senses in it, and then further explore the ability .

Xia Libing also found that when she was immersed in this state, her consciousness would not be affected by physical exhaustion, that is to say, in that state, she would not be disturbed by sleepiness, and her thinking could remain high. Activity.

And during that process, the body seems to be in a half-rested state, and consumes less.

Therefore, this time when Xiang Kun was sleeping, after the 25 hours of guarding, her body fatigue was much lighter than the previous two times, and her sleepiness was also much lower.

Therefore, after Xia Libing entered the world of consciousness through "CAKE01", not only did she perceive and explore, but she would also carry out the issues she needed to think about under normal conditions.

She is even wondering, will she use this method to replace part of her sleep time in the future?In this case, doesn't she have a lot of thinking time and working time?

Especially when Xiang Kun is "watching the night" when he is sleeping and drinking blood in the future, this method is very useful, let alone staying for 25 hours, 48 ​​hours should be no problem.In the "conscious world", she can leave at any time and be "awake" at any time, without any delay in detecting Xiangkun's sleeping period data, and she has a very high degree of freedom.

In fact, when he was able to have "lucid dreams" at the beginning, Xia Libing thought about whether to do "lucid dreams" after falling asleep, and work, think and study in "lucid dreams"?

But this idea was quickly rejected by her, because it needed to bind Xiang Kun to perform dream perception at the same time, which was equivalent to "hijacking" Xiang Kun for a period of time. If we consider the comprehensive time efficiency of two people, it will It's worth it.

And she also found that if she is simply caused by Xiang Kun through the "love object" to trigger the dream, the quality of sleep will not have much impact, but if she introduces the "super connected object" projection, and then enters the "lucid dream" state, There will still be some effects on sleep, which is one of the reasons why she has had so heavy dark circles during this period and has not been able to sleep enough - of course, the main reason is that she has been vigil for Xiangkun three times during the sleepy period of drinking blood.

But now this method of entering the "world of consciousness" through "CAKE01" has allowed her to discover a way to get a better thinking state and thinking time.

If it were before, Xia Libing's most common thinking was that he could not perceive most of the reasons for normal emotions, how to perceive normal emotions, and observe and summarize the behavior patterns and emotional performance of other people, and then think about how to imitate these performances.

But now, Xia Libing’s thinking is basically related to Xiang Kun’s mutation, his mutation reasons, characteristics, related "super-sensing item system", and the characteristics of the various "developers" under this system. and many more.

As for matters related to her own emotions, she gave it to Xiang Kun directly. In a short time, she can experience various emotions through Xiang Kun’s "emotional assimilation". If you want to obtain a permanent emotional experience in the long term, you should pin your hopes on The understanding and application of Xiang Kun’s various abilities.

Just like Xiang Kun’s "super-sensing item system", if she can obtain the emotions contained in all Xiang Kun’s "emotional injection items" and can call them at any time, then in a sense, she can also be regarded as having the emotional perception of normal people Ability.

So Xia Libing knew that at this stage, her demands and Xiang Kun were basically the same.

Now, Xia Libing, who is sitting in the waiting hall and in the "world of consciousness", stopped perceiving and exploring, and the question he was thinking about was the cause of Xiang Kun's mutation.

Although in the past two weeks, she obtained Xiang Kun’s related experiences from before and after the mutation on July 11, Xiang Kun compiled the memory fragments of other "mutant creatures", and even went to the habitat of "giant owl" together. Field trips.

But after two weeks, she became even more confused about the reason for Xiang Kun's mutation.

When I went to the habitat of the "Giant Owl", all the water, supplies, tents, sleeping bags, tools needed for survival in the wild, etc. were all carried by Xiang Kun, and Xia Libing’s bag was lighter. Things, even most of the time she was driving in the mountains, her backpack was carried by Xiang Kun on her chest.

Because Xiang Kun's strength and endurance far surpass ordinary people, it is the most efficient to let him remember.Even when he was on the road, Xiang Kun joked that he knew how to make a basket and let Xia Libing sit in it, so that he would drive faster than the two of them.

Xia Libing also knew that when Xiang Kun came to explore this area last time, he basically didn’t bring anything, because he basically didn’t need to eat, he didn’t need to rest, and he didn’t need to sleep during the non-blood drinking period. Sensory abilities are far superior to ordinary people, night vision, and the ability to deter wild beasts and mosquitoes, so there is no need to bring anything or tools at all.

Now it has evolved so many times than when I came last time, all qualities are stronger, and there are many new abilities. In the wild, it is not even the adaptability and survivability, but the dominance— Except for other "mutated creatures", there should be no creatures in the forest that are stronger than him. In theory, he can even rely on the "mental shock" ability to coerce and drive some animals to a certain extent.

With Xiangkun's care, Xia Libing is also very comfortable in the wild. Basically, Xiangkun can prepare everything. Xiangkun is also on duty at night when she sleeps, so she doesn't have to worry about beasts and mosquitoes.

Observing the difference between Xiang Kun and herself or ordinary people, Xia Libing also had a question.

With such a huge gap in ability from ordinary humans, why is Xiang Kun's appearance still no different from ordinary humans?

Other mutant creatures, such as "giant owl", "mutant spider", "mutant bird", "mutant ant", "longhorn wolf", etc., are based on their habitat, survival needs, and direction of mutation. Great changes have taken place.

However, after the mutation, Xiang Kun and Guo Tianxiang, the two human beings, both maintained their human form.

It can also be said that Guo Tianxiang has relatively few mutations, and the evolved abilities are relatively metaphysical, basically through sound and visual contact to cause influence, and it can also be said that it has little to do with human form.

But Xiang Kun's abilities evolved by mutation are too much. According to Xia Libing, Xiang Kun now has a pair of antennas growing above his head, which is more reasonable than he still has no major changes.

Xia Libing then speculated that just as the "super-sense connection" and "emotional injection" are directly related to consciousness, the mutation factor X should also be linked to the consciousness of the "mutant creature".

Xiang Kun and Guo Tianxiang live in human society and have the need to integrate into society, so they are unwilling to change their form. No matter how great the variation, it needs to be based on the human appearance.But creatures such as "owls", "spiders", "ants", and "big birds" do not have the mental awareness to maintain their appearance, so they can mutate as they can maximize their evolved abilities.

After discussing her speculation with Xiang Kun, Xiang Kun said that he had reached the same judgment a long time ago, and his training method to guide the direction of mutation evolution has also been adjusted accordingly.

However, today Xia Libing thought about the details of the discussion with Xiang Kun and the information of other "mutant creatures", but another idea came up.

Even if the mutation factor X is affected by the consciousness or subconsciousness of the mutated creature, it must control the degree of mutated evolution so precisely and never allow Xiang Kun’s appearance to undergo inhuman changes. It is logically difficult to achieve this. A project that is too complicated and a huge project full of too many variables.

The variation factor X, why can it be highly adapted to a variety of organisms, so that it can control variation according to their needs and subconsciousness so well?

The various micro-organizations that make up living things are like countless different types of soldiers. If it is an airborne commander, even if he holds a letter of appointment and has command authority, he will still have the command and conduct an overall large-scale battle. There may be situations such as insufficient understanding of the soldiers' abilities or insufficient execution of orders.

How can the variation factors, if they are foreign, control the variation of various organisms so precisely?

Xia Libing couldn't help but guess, maybe X itself exists in the "mutated creature". It is not a "airborne" commander, but a commander "promoted" from among ordinary soldiers?

Even more, not only "mutant creatures", all creatures have X in their bodies, but it has not been "activated" and has not become the driving force of mutation?

This may also explain why "mutated creatures" need to swallow the "blood" of other creatures after they become hungry before each mutation and evolution—perhaps, this is supplementing X?

...

In the waiting hall, on the edge of Xia Libing, who was "looking" at the "CAKE01" notebook, a seat was separated from him. A handsome middle-aged man dressed in avant-garde fashion, occasionally glanced at her with his side.

Obviously, the handsome man has a strong interest in this ponytailed, beautiful and unique girl—in fact, there are several men in the terminal who secretly watch Xia Libing.

But apparently this handsome man is an actionist. After observing for a while, he adjusted his clothes, got up and sat down next to Xia Libing naturally, and then glanced casually. Xia Libing opened the black circle graffiti drawn on her notebook and said, "This painting looks like an abstract expressionist style? Beauty, did you paint this? Ah, sorry, excuse me, I used to be in New York I have opened a gallery, so I have studied painting a little bit. Seeing Lie Xinxi..."

Looking down at the notebook, Xia Libing slowly raised his head, then slowly turned to look at him.

The handsome man had the most charming smile on his face, and was about to introduce himself to Xia Libing, but suddenly realized that this ponytail beauty had blank eyes, her eyes were completely out of focus, her eyes were open, but there was something like nothing. I didn't watch, didn't think about anything, as if she wasn't here at all.

This feeling made the handsome man feel cold, and his smile froze on his face.Although the facial features of the ponytail beauty are still exquisite and beautiful, the look in her eyes still has the state of the whole person, making him a little creepy.

"Um...ah, sorry, excuse me... take the liberty..." The handsome man returned to his original position without waiting for Xia Libing to reply. After sitting for a few seconds, he picked up his bag and moved to a side position. One.

Xia Libing slowly turned her head and continued to look at the notebook in her hand, but her eyes slowly focused.

She has been in the "conscious world" just now, and her body is actually in a semi-sleep state. Although her eyes are open, there is no visual input.

The handsome man just came over to talk to her because the content made her subconscious aware that she was speaking to her, but the consciousness had not completely separated from the "conscious world". The body first reacted and turned his head.

She didn't mean to be scary this time...

But this is also good, save the effort to deal with.

Xia Libing yawned and continued to droop his head, entering the "world of consciousness" and using this method to "fill sleep".
