Chapter 228: "Coin Mentor"
Li Yang's answer was expected by Xiang Kun, and he looked at the blind girl next to him: "Little Apple, what about you?"
Little Apple said uncertainly, "I think I heard it." Then he imitated the sound of "dripping" and said, "Is this the sound of a horn?"
"Yes!"
Xiang Kun said to Li Yang again: "Professor Li, you know that Little Apple's hearing is much stronger than others, but in fact, my hearing is the same. ”
Not surprisingly, Xiang Kun didn't feel too obvious surprise from Professor Li and Little Apple, but had a kind of "sure enough" suddenness.
In fact, when he had contact a few times before, Xiang Kun knew that Little Apple had already found out his peculiarities in smell and hearing. However, Xiang Kun doesn't care about this, because when he interacts with people, he will pay attention to his verbal expression, and will not directly reveal the excess information he obtains from his senses. However, when communicating with Apple, he will deliberately show that he has the same or better sensory information acquisition ability as her, which is more convenient when discussing how to distinguish the details of birdsong.
And if Little Apple knows, it is not surprising that Professor Li Yang knows.
Xiang Kun pointed to his ears: "I wasn't born with such a keen sense of hearing, I practiced it." ”
"Practice it?" Professor Li Yang became interested, and he immediately remembered the situation when his younger brother Li Sheng drove their father and daughter to the mountains to play, and when they came back, they met Xiang Kun for the first time.
At that time, Xiang Kun, who was walking barefoot on the ring road, although he looked a little embarrassed in his dress, he gave people the feeling that he was unhurried, calm and calm, and had a kind of "superior demeanor". Later, after sending Xiang Kun to the station, Li Sheng even speculated that Xiang Kun deliberately went barefoot into the mountains to "exercise", maybe he was a practitioner. In the next two contacts, Little Apple also told him that Xiang Kun's sense of hearing and smell was much stronger than that of ordinary people, similar to her, which proved the previous inference. So when he heard Xiang Kun say that he had "practiced" a keen sense of hearing, Li Yang did not doubt it, but was very interested.
Xiang Kun said to Li Yang with a serious expression: "Professor Li, my training method will sound a bit metaphysical, and I have never said it to others, because others will probably think that I am a psychopath or engaged in some feudal superstitious activities. But in my case, this method does work, so I think if Apple tries it too, it should be good for her. ”
"What is the method? I want to learn!" Before Li Yang could speak, Little Apple was already very excited.
Li Yang glanced at his daughter and asked, "Tell me, what kind of method is it?"
"My practice method is to focus my attention on an object and imagine that I can perceive my surroundings through that object. I know this sounds a bit nonsense, but it's really useful, maybe it's some kind of psychological effect to help stimulate potential......" Xiang Kun said in a somewhat unconfident tone.
"So...... What object is pinned on?" From the tone of Li Yang's words, Xiang Kun could clearly determine his suspicions.
"Actually, anything can be a stone, a tree, a piece of grass, a grain of sand, a chair, this can be different for everyone. Xiang Kun said, took out a few coins from his pocket, and then took one of the one-yuan coins seemingly at random, and then handed it to Li Yang first: "For me, it is the most effective coin." As he spoke, he laughed at himself: "Maybe it's because I'm poorer and I like money more......"
Neither Li Yang nor Little Apple reacted to Xiang Kun's cold jokes, and their attention was on that coin.
Li Yang observed it and thought it was an ordinary coin, so he handed it to the little apple, who held it in his hand and groped it carefully.
Previously, through the "emotional injection" of the Minion, Xiang Kun perceived Little Apple's dream, and that special cognitive mode can be said to be like a light in the dark, allowing him to find another way to see the world, transcending the limitations of his original sensory ability, and giving him a new way of thinking.
The ability to make "Alice" is largely due to this.
So Xiang Kun has always wanted to find an opportunity to repay Little Apple, and there is nothing more meaningful to repay Little Apple than to let her "see" again.
But in Little Apple's case, it is too difficult to completely repair her eyesight, at least with the current level of science and technology, with Xiang Kun's ability, it can't be done for the time being.
During this time, he often wondered if there was a way to use his abilities to give Little Apple a sensory ability similar to vision.
Or maybe take a step back and let Apple "see" something in a dream or other level of consciousness first?
For example, Xiang Kun perceives Little Apple's dream, and in turn lets Little Apple perceive his dream?
Although it stands to reason that even if you imagine and dream by yourself, you need the relevant visual nerves to "see" the normal scene.
Xiang Kun thought about "emotional assimilation" and "projection", and directly "projected" the scene he saw to Little Apple's consciousness. However, he soon knew that this method would not work, because whether it was Guo Tianxiang's original version of "looking at each other to establish one's own fear projection", or the "projection appeared" derived from him, if it wanted to work, there was a prerequisite for "looking at each other", and there should be interaction in the line of sight, even if it was only for a short moment, which seemed to be a necessary condition for "transmitting data".
But since the "X" can make so many incredible changes happen to Xiang Kun, maybe it can also happen to the little apple, and miracles can also happen.
As for how to make X act on other people as well, Xiang Kun got a revelation from the little chubby girl Liu Shiling.
If Little Apple, like Chubby Girl, has a special connection with the items that Xiang Kun has established a "super sensory connection", maybe it can have some special induction?
After all, according to Xiang Kun's previous guesses and inferences, these items that have established "supersensory connection" and "emotional injection" are, to some extent, like terminal devices, which can be borrowed by specific people at certain times to "call" certain abilities of Xiang Kun, just like those things that Liu Shiling did.
However, from the chubby girl, Xiang Kun also speculated that in order to achieve this step, there are many necessary conditions, such as getting his heartfelt approval, such as his own understanding and trust in these items.
The first point is easy to do, but the latter point is hard.
As a naïve child who is still in kindergarten and likes fantasy very much, Liu Shiling, a chubby girl, has special trust in Xiang Kun and even some admiration, and has witnessed some of his "magic", so it is naturally better to "flicker", and it is easy to establish a very complete "magic cognition" in her mind, and she is convinced.
But Little Apple is different, although she has been unable to see since she was a child, she is much older after all, she is already a girl with her own complete cognition and three views, and there is a father who is an associate professor in the university, and he is also very intelligent, very smart, and knowledgeable, so it is very difficult to "fool" her in the same way as the little chubby girl, unless he directly shows Xiang Kun's various "supernatural" peculiarities and completely exposes himself. And in that case, it may only make Apple focus on him, and still fail to achieve his goal.
For this reason, Xiang Kun made several plans, and he always felt that he was not enough, until last night on Christmas Eve, after trying the reverse influence of that "second-hand emotion" at Tang Baona's house, he had a new idea, and felt that the possibility of success was not small.
Xiang Kun said to the little apple holding the coin: "We can experiment with it, you can use this coin as sustenance first, try and imagine feeling the surrounding situation through it, listening to birdsong through it, smelling the fragrance of grass, and feeling everything in the park." ”
Li Yang said strangely: "How should this be pinned? Is it just imagination?"
Xiang Kun raised his finger and put it in front of his lips, made a shushing gesture, and then whispered, "Little Apple will find a way by himself." ”
After that, Xiang Kun leaned back against the back of the wooden chair and closed his eyes, as if he was perceiving the surrounding environment.
Li Yang couldn't help but be a little funny, he naturally felt that the so-called "method" that Xiang Kun said was really a bit too child's play, what kind of attention, if he hadn't known Xiang Kun for a while, he would have thought that this was a magic stick or a psychopath.
However, listening to what Xiang Kun said, feeling the surrounding environment, listening to the sound, and smelling the smell are also things that Little Apple likes to do when he is normal, so he didn't say anything, and sat quietly on the side with the big and small ones who seemed to have entered a "meditative" state.
Li Yang thought that Xiang Kun was also perceiving the environment of the park, but in fact, his attention was on the CPU-like wood carving on Xiao Apple's body - when she taught her some computer-related knowledge at Little Apple's house before lunch, she took that wood carving as an example, and then when she went to the kitchen to cook, she put it in her pocket "casually". Just after going out, I suddenly "remembered" again, and then gave it back to Little Apple, so now it's in the pocket of Little Apple's pants.
Xiang Kun knew before that when Little Apple focused on perceiving her surroundings, she would naturally enter into a special emotion.
Through the wood carving CPU that has been "emotionally injected", Xiang Kun can sense Little Apple's emotions in real time, and then use this feeling to let him find a way to immerse himself in the same emotion.
After more than twenty minutes, Xiang Kun gradually immersed himself in the same quiet, peaceful and joyful emotions as the little apple through the connection of the CPU wood carving.
In fact, it is difficult for ordinary people to have an empathetic experience, and it is difficult to substitute, because this state of tranquility without obvious ups and downs is not like an emotion with ups and downs, and even for most people, it is difficult to be called an emotion, but more like a state of complete calm without emotions.
However, Xiang Kun has perceived Little Apple's dreams many times, and is very clear about her way of cognition, and he also understands Little Apple's state of mind that likes to integrate himself with nature, as if the environment is water and he is a fish. In addition, he has stronger auditory and olfactory senses than Little Apple, and his perception of the surrounding environment is no worse than that of Little Apple, so after perceiving her emotional changes through CPU wood carving, he began to substitute and experience little by little, until he was also immersed in it.
When Xiang Kun immersed himself in that tranquil emotion, his "emotional assimilation" ability began to act on the surroundings, and in turn on Little Apple.
Of course, Associate Professor Li Yang, who was already a little sleepy sitting next to him, was naturally affected, and the sleepiness dissipated, replaced by a sense of peace and tranquility. Although his eyes were closed, he seemed to feel that the winter sun was brighter and warmer, and the occasional birdsong brought bursts of joy, and even the originally cold wind blew in it very comfortably, and the air was filled with a faint, inexplicable scent of flowers, which he had never smelled before.
After Little Apple was affected by Xiang Kun's "emotional assimilation", her original emotions were strengthened, and under this extremely peaceful and peaceful mood, her senses would become more sensitive.
This kind of sensitivity is different from the improvement of Xiang Kun's sensory function, it is more like "software enhancement", which eliminates more interference and noise, and can focus more on the sound she wants to hear and the smell she wants to smell.
When the three of them were out of their emotions, more than an hour had passed unconsciously, Professor Li Yang looked at Xiang Kun with some surprise, and then at his daughter, who was holding a coin and was still a little distracted, opened his mouth to say something, but after all, he still didn't speak.
After a while, Little Apple said in some surprise: "Uncle Xiang, I feel as if I have found the feeling of pinning my attention on the coin as you said, as if I have really heard it farther than usual!"
It's good to find it......
Xiang Kun breathed a sigh of relief, he was actually not absolutely sure that he would be able to succeed. Because in the final analysis, all he can do is "guide", just "strengthen", and only "assist", in fact, in essence, it is up to Little Apple to find his own feelings.
Xiang Kun glanced at the time, got up with a smile and said, "It should be the reason why your hearing is relatively strong, ordinary people estimate that they may not be able to find the feeling after a hundred attempts." You can try the practice with a coin at first, and then try it later to focus on other things. ”
Li Yang next to him wanted to say, "I also found a feeling", but he felt that he hadn't pinned his attention on any external objects before, so maybe it didn't feel the same?
After chatting with Li Yang and Little Apple for a few more words, Xiang Kun left with a "golden flash" farewell, and he still had to go to the station to buy a ticket.
The purpose has been achieved, and whether the little apple can have any connection with that coin like the little chubby girl, and what she can get from this connection, depends on her own creation.
The coin in Xiao Apple's hand is naturally a coin that has established a "supersensory connection" with Xiang Kun, and this series of operations just now is to make her have a subconscious that "you can strengthen your sensory ability through this coin".
Xiang Kun didn't tell Xiao Apple and Li Yang that the coin was anything special, nor did he show the special features of the coin with his own hands like he did to Little Fat Girl, and even when he took out the coin, he deliberately made a random appearance of choosing from a few coins.
Because he knows the little apple, and knows that if he tells her that the coin is special and magical, she will only study why it is magical, where is the reason for the peculiarity, and what is the principle behind it? Only by letting her herself unconsciously discover and find out the peculiarity of this coin will she "make up" the corresponding magic by herself, and slowly believe in it in the attempt.
And in this way, it will not arouse Professor Li Yang's disgust, after all, Little Apple is not a chubby girl who is still in kindergarten, if he uses any "magic", "lucky coin" and other words, it will make Li Yang feel that Xiang Kun has a problem with his brain.
He was also sure that Little Apple would definitely not abandon the coin and use other items to practice "sustenance" attention, because when she was negatively affected by Xiang Kun's "emotional assimilation" before, she was trying to squander her attention to the coin to perceive. When she uses other objects for attention, it is difficult to have the same level of feedback.
Taking Jin Shanshan on the bus on the return trip, Xiang Kun was still sitting by the window and pretending to sleep, but in his mind he was building a cognitive model of the bus and practicing his new cognitive model.
After getting on the bus and confirming the model of the bus, he had already used his mobile phone to look up various information about the bus on the Internet, so now he can more accurately build a cognitive model based on the various sensory information fed back from the actual feedback.
Just as when I went to a café, went to the subway, went to various places to practice my sensory abilities, and practiced how to let my brain subconsciously process the sensory information obtained and establish basic judgments, now Xiang Kun is also using every opportunity to practice his ability to build a new cognitive model, constantly trying and training, and after drinking blood, the body will naturally evolve and adjust accordingly.
However, not long after leaving the station, before he got on the highway, Xiang Kun suddenly realized something, quickly opened the window, and looked at the clouds in the sky in the distance.
"Can you close the window, it's cold. There were complaints from other passengers.
"Sorry, turn it off right away. After Xiang Kun closed the window, he carried a birdcage covered with a cage, walked through the aisle, walked to the driver's seat, and told the driver: "Master, I just remembered that there is something important that I haven't done yet, and I can't go, can you find a place to put me down in front?"
This kind of inter-city medium and long-distance bus, there is naturally nothing that cannot be agreed to this kind of request, anyway, Xiang Kun does not want to refund the ticket or make him wait.
After driving for a while, the bus slowly drove to the side of the road and let Xiang Kun get out of the car.
Xiang Kun stared at the gloomy sky in the distance for a while, took out his mobile phone and checked the map, and then directly stopped a taxi and said a place name.
According to Xiang Kun's intuition, or his speculation based on the cognitive model of various environmental factors around him and the cognitive model of the atmospheric electric field, he believes that it will not be long before a thunderstorm will occur in the city.
In winter, this weather phenomenon is not common, and since Xiang Kun has encountered it, he doesn't want to miss it.
