Chapter 362: The Cause of the Mutation (Part II)
At the airport, after Xia Libing finished returning to WeChat, he put his mobile phone in his pocket and continued to look at a black softcover notebook in his hand.
However, this notebook is neither the one she used to record her own situation and behavioral patterns, nor the two that later used special symbols to record Xiang Kun's mutation and observation during the sleeping period, but a notebook with an A6 specification that is obviously one size smaller.
What is recorded in the book is Xiang Kun's "Napoleon cake" that perceptualized Lao Xia in a "supersensory state" a few days ago, and through his "compilation", the cognitive information that cannot be perceived with traditional sensory abilities is "described" through "black circle graffiti".
The "black circle graffiti" made by Xiang Kun before is basically just an approximate idea of the perceived cognitive information, and what comes to mind is recorded, so it is very fragmented.
But this time, he tried to describe all the "Napoleon cakes" that appeared in the old summer through black circle graffiti, focusing only on this one object.
However, just like the last time he perceived the "mutated creature" holding the rabbit wood carving in the "supersensory state", the "Napoleon cake" that appeared in Lao Xia continued to perceive, just like a mille-feuille cake and a nesting doll, layer after layer, endless, as if it could never be perceived.
Therefore, Xiang Kun finally drew all 74 pages of the A6 notebook with black circles on one side, and did not completely describe the cognitive information of "Napoleon Cake" - or according to his judgment, it is impossible to fully describe it at all, which may be related to the fact that it is an item that appeared through "super-conjugated".
The main purpose of this whole "black circle graffiti" for the Napoleon cake is to help Lao Xia further understand the ability of "fantasy appearance", analyze the essence of the "fantasy object", and use it to find the connection and essence between "love objects" and "super-connected objects", and develop more methods for applying the "super-sensory object system".
Xiang Kun gave Xia Libing all kinds of black circle graffiti before, although she could see that these circles and arcs had some hidden rules, not scribbles, but it was difficult to see what the specific rules were.
Even if Xiang Kun later told her the meaning of those arcs, she had no way to correspond to them, after all, the perception in the "supersensory state" was difficult for other people who did not have this kind of perception ability to understand, and even Xiang Kun's own understanding of those cognitive information was still very limited.
Now this 74-page "black circle graffiti" notebook is all about describing an object, and it is an item that Lao Xia himself "appeared", which is more convenient for Lao Xia to understand and analyze the relevant cognitive information.
However, as soon as he 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 expression of black circle graffiti, at any time, but he still couldn't figure out the clue to understand these circles and arcs.
The opportunity came last night, or should I say early this morning.
When Xia Libing was keeping vigil for Xiang Kun who was sleeping, while flipping through the black circle graffiti notebook that she replaced with "CAKE01", she suddenly felt something when she actually "appeared" the "Napoleon cake".
She seems to have established some kind of special connection with the 74 black-circled graffiti on the pamphlet in her hand, but she has never been able to concretely and practically perceive the effect of this connection on her.
Xia Libing kept trying, and finally found that when she imagined the process of "appearing" the Napoleon cake in her consciousness, and then imagined herself as her own "Napoleon cake", she could easily follow this connection and immerse herself in a very peculiar world of consciousness.
In that world of consciousness, she experienced an unprecedented perception - but she was still well aware that this was not the "sixth sense" described by Xiang Kun, nor was it entering the "supersensory state", because this perception was still based on the cognition of the other five senses.
Recalling the process described to Xiang Kun that "Little Apple" perceived the emotional projection of the "eight-armed and eight-eyed wood carving" that she had never seen or even knew of its existence through the "love object" in her hand, Xia Libing guessed that she might also be able to perceive other "love objects" through this special sense, through this world of consciousness, and even in this way, perceive other people who can establish contact with or be affected by the emotions of "love objects".
Xia Libing is very serious about experiencing that kind of perception, just like a person who goes into the water for the first time, not to explore this water first, but to learn to tread water and learn to swim first.
This discovery made Xia Libing realize that although the "black circle graffiti" created by Xiang Kun expresses the cognitive information in the "supersensory state", although it is "visual" on the surface, a "symbol" and "code", but in fact, because of the particularity of the information expressed, the best way to "understand" is to establish connection and perception.
In other words, the 74 pages of the "CAKE01" notebook are not used to see, but to be "used".
She also knew that the reason why she suddenly had a connection with this 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, and when Xia Libing got it, it had not yet been officially transformed into an "emotional injection item".
It wasn't until Xiang Kun drank blood and fell asleep this time that the process of transformation was completely completed at this time period, and it was at this time that she established a deep connection with this "love object" through the "Napoleon cake" that she "described".
After Xiang Kun woke up and knew about this situation, he also thought that Lao Xia's perception of the "love note" connection this time was somewhat similar to that of "Little Apple", but Lao Xia had not "explored" other "love notes" for the time being.
Of course, it is also possible that Lao Xia and "Little Apple" are not in the same "network", or that the "love note" is not the same "port" and "protocol".
Specifically, it depends on Lao Xia's follow-up exploration.
When I came to the airport, because the plane was delayed and delayed, Xia Libing has been frequently entering the world of consciousness through "CAKE01", practicing the ability to control my senses in it, and then further explore it.
Xia Libing also found that when she was immersed in this state, her consciousness would not be affected by physical exhaustion, that is, in that state, she would not be disturbed by sleepiness, and her mind could remain very active.
And in that process, the body also seems to be in a semi-rested state, and the consumption will be less.
Therefore, during Xiang Kun's sleep period this time, after she finished these 25 hours, her body's fatigue was much lighter than the previous two times, and her sleepiness was much lower.
Therefore, after Xia Libing entered the world of consciousness through "CAKE01", she was not only perceiving and exploring, but also carrying out the questions she needed to think about under normal conditions.
She was even wondering if she would use this way to replace part of her sleep time in the future? In this case, wouldn't she have a lot of extra time to think and work?
Especially when you give Xiang Kun the "vigil" in the sleeping period of drinking blood in the future, this method is very useful, not to mention keeping it for 25 hours, 48 hours should be no problem. In the "world of consciousness", she can leave at any time and be "awake" at any time, and she will not delay the detection of Xiang Kun's sleep period data at all, and the degree of freedom is very high.
In fact, when he was able to have "lucid dreaming", Xia Libing once considered whether he would have "lucid dreaming" after falling asleep in the future, and work, think and study in "lucid dreaming"?
But this idea was quickly rejected by her, because it had to bind Xiang Kun to dream perception at the same time, which was equivalent to "hijacking" Xiang Kun for a period of time, and it was not worth it if you considered the comprehensive use time efficiency of the two people.
And she also found that if Xiang Kun was simply triggered by a dream through "love injection", the quality of sleep would not have much impact, but if she introduced the "super-link" projection and then entered the state of "lucid dreaming", it would still have some impact on sleep, which is why her dark circles were so heavy during this period of time, and she had not slept enough - of course, the main reason was that she kept vigil for Xiang Kun three times and drank blood and fell asleep.
Now, this method of entering the "world of consciousness" through "CAKE01" has allowed her to find a way to get a better state of thinking and time to think.
If it was before, Xia Libing's most common thinking was the reason why he couldn't perceive most of his normal emotions, how to perceive normal emotions, and how to observe and summarize other people's behavior patterns and emotional performances, and then think about how to imitate these performances.
But now, Xia Libing's thinking is basically related to Xiang Kun's mutation, the reason for his mutation, the mutation characteristics, the related "super sensing item system", the characteristics of each "developer" under this system, and so on.
As for her own emotional-related matters, she directly handed them over to Xiang Kun, and in a short period of time, she can experience various emotions through Xiang Kun's "emotional assimilation", and if she wants to obtain permanent emotional experience in the long run, she should hope for the understanding and application of Xiang Kun's various abilities.
Just like Xiang Kun's "Super Sensory Item System", if she can obtain the emotions contained in all of Xiang Kun's "emotional injection items" and can call them at any time, then in a sense, she can be regarded as having the emotional perception ability of a normal person.
So Xia Libing knew that at this stage, her appeal was basically the same as Xiang Kun's.
Now, sitting in the waiting hall in the "world of consciousness", Xia Libing, after stopping to perceive and explore, the question he was thinking about was the reason for Xiang Kun's mutation.
Although in the past two weeks, she has obtained Xiang Kun's relevant experiences before and after the mutation on July 11, the memory fragments of other "mutant creatures" that Xiang Kun sorted out, and even went to the habitat of the "giant owl" for field research together.
But after two weeks, she became more and more confused about the reason for Xiang Kun's mutation.
When I went to the "giant owl" habitat before, all the water, provisions, tents, sleeping bags, tools needed for survival in the wild, etc., were carried by Xiang Kun, and Xia Li's bag was relatively lightweight, and even when she was on the road in the mountains, her backpack was carried on her chest by Xiang Kun.
Because Xiang Kun's strength and endurance far exceed ordinary people, he is the most efficient to carry it. Even when he was on the road, Xiang Kun joked that he had known to get a back basket and let Xia Libing squat in it, so that he would definitely be able to walk faster than the two of them on foot.
Xia Libing also knew that the last time Xiang Kun came to explore this area, he basically didn't bring anything, because he basically didn't need to eat, didn't need to rest, didn't need to sleep during the non-blood-drinking period, and his physical fitness and sensory ability were far beyond ordinary people, he could see at night, and he had the ability to deter beasts and mosquitoes, so he didn't need to bring anything or tools at all.
Now he has evolved so many times more than when he came last time, all qualities are stronger, and there are many new abilities, in the wild, it is not even about adaptability and survivability, but it should be said that it is dominance - in addition to other "mutant creatures", there should be no creature in the mountains and forests that can be stronger than him, and theoretically he can even rely on the ability of "mental deterrence" to coerce and drive some animals to a certain extent.
With Xiang Kun's care, Xia Libing is also very comfortable in the wild, basically everything Xiang Kun can be ready, and Xiang Kun is also on duty throughout the whole process when he sleeps at night, so he doesn't have to worry about the infestation of wild beasts and mosquitoes.
Observing the difference between Xiang Kun and himself, or ordinary people, Xia Libing also had a question.
With such a huge gap between him and ordinary humans in terms of ability, why is Xiang Kun's appearance still no different from ordinary humans?
Other mutant creatures, such as "giant owls", "mutant spiders", "mutated big birds", "mutant ants", "long-horned wolves", etc., have changed greatly according to their habitat environment, survival needs, and mutation direction.
But Xiang Kun and Guo Tianxiang, two human beings, after mutating, both maintained their human form.
Guo Tianxiang can also be said to have relatively few mutations, and the abilities he has evolved are relatively metaphysical, basically affecting through sound and visual contact, and it can be said that it has little to do with human form.
But Xiang Kun's mutation and evolution ability is too much, in Xia Libing's opinion, the current Xiang Kun is a pair of antennas growing on the top of his head, which is more reasonable than his current lack of major changes.
Xia Libing then speculated that just as "supersensory connection" and "emotional injection" are directly related to consciousness, then mutation factor X should also be linked to the consciousness of "mutated creatures".
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, and no matter how big the mutation is, it needs to be carried out on the basis of human appearance. Creatures such as "owls", "spiders", "ants", and "big birds" do not have the psychological consciousness to maintain their appearance, and they can mutate as much as they can improve their evolved abilities with maximum efficiency.
After discussing her speculation with Xiang Kun, Xiang Kun said that he had come to the same judgment a long time ago, and his training method of guiding the direction of mutation evolution had also made some adjustments accordingly.
However, today, after Xia Libing recalled the details of the discussion with Xiang Kun, as well as the information and information of other "mutant creatures", he had an idea again.
Even if Mutation Factor X is affected by the consciousness or subconscious of mutated creatures, it is very difficult to achieve it if it wants to control the degree of mutation evolution so precisely and never let Xiang Kun's appearance appear inhuman, this is a project that is too complicated, a huge project full of too many variables.
Why is it that Mutation Factor X is so adaptable to a wide variety of organisms that it can control mutation so well according to their needs and subconscious?
If it is an airborne commander, even if he has a letter of appointment and command, but when he actually commands and conducts an overall large-scale battle, there may still be a lack of understanding of the soldier's ability or the soldier's failure to carry out the order.
How can the mutation factor, if it is foreign, control the mutation of various different organisms so precisely?
Xia Libing couldn't help but guess, maybe X itself existed in the body of the "mutant creature", it was not a commander who was "airborne", but a commander who was "promoted" from ordinary soldiers?
Even, not only "mutated organisms", all creatures have X in their bodies, but it is not "activated" and has not become the driving force of mutation?
This may also explain why "mutant organisms" need to devour the "blood" of other creatures after they become hungry before each mutation evolves - perhaps, this is supplementing X?
......
In the waiting hall, Xia Libing, who was looking down at the "CAKE01" notebook, was separated by a seat, and a handsome middle-aged man dressed in fashion and avant-garde glanced at her from time to time.
Obviously, the handsome man had a strong interest in this beautiful girl with a ponytail, and a unique temperament - in fact, there were several men in the waiting hall who secretly watched Xia Libing.
But obviously this handsome man is a man of action, after observing for a while, he straightened his clothes, got up and sat down next to Xia Libing very naturally, and then glanced at Xia Libing's hand to open the black circle graffiti drawn on the notebook, and said: "This painting looks like an abstract expressionist style? Beauty, is this what you painted? Ah, sorry, I took the liberty of interrupting, I used to open a gallery in New York, so I studied painting a little, see Hunting Xinxi......"
Xia Libing, who was looking down at the notebook, slowly raised his head, and slowly turned to look at him.
The handsome man originally had what he thought was the most charming smile on his face, and was about to introduce himself to Xia Libing, but suddenly found that this ponytail beauty, her eyes were blank, her eyes were completely unfocused, her eyes were open, but she had a feeling that she didn't see anything, didn't think about anything, as if she wasn't here at all.
This feeling made a cool breath rise in the handsome man's heart, and a smile froze on his face. Although the facial features of the ponytail beauty are still delicate and beautiful, the eyes and the state of the whole person make him a little creepy.
"That...... Ah, sorry to interrupt you...... ...... presumptuous" The handsome man didn't wait for Xia Libing to reply, he returned to his original position, sat for a few seconds, picked up his bag again, and moved to the next position.
Xia Libing slowly turned his head and continued to look at the notebook in his hand, but his eyes slowly became focused.
Just now, she has been in the "world of consciousness", her body is actually in a semi-sleep state, although her eyes are open, but there is no visual input.
Just now, the handsome man came to speak to her, because the content made her subconscious know that he was talking to her, but the consciousness was not completely detached from the "conscious world", and the body reacted first and turned his head.
It wasn't really her intention to be scary this time......
But that's fine, so you don't have to deal with it.
Xia Libing yawned, continued to droop his head, and entered the "world of consciousness", using this way to "make up for sleep".
