After returning home for dinner, I started experimenting. The experiment was to look at a pencil on the table and try to make it move.

Today, I seem to have the same hallucinations as I did in the early season, and the water in my mouth takes on the taste of fish soup. It's just that I'm hallucinating on my own, and the early season may have been influenced by me.

My first guess was that my mana had awakened, but I didn't have a spirit on me, so I couldn't be sure. To test this guess, I'm going to go through the simplest mana primer to come to my conclusion.

After staring at the pencil for half an hour until the fluorescent light on the table ran out of energy and went out, I came to a conclusion; The conclusion is that it has nothing to do with mana, and my mana is not awakening. The evidence is that for half an hour, no matter what kind of imagination and self-hypnosis is made, the pencil on the table does not move.

If it is mana, there is no difference between moving the pencil and bending the finger, even a child who has just awakened his mana can easily do it, and he will naturally know what to do without even learning.

So I'm sure my mana hasn't awakened.

If this is the case, how can we explain the same hallucinations as me in the early season?

I remember when I was still in the fantasy state, I said that the water she drank did have the taste of fish soup, but after the fantasy state was removed, the way she looked when she drank the same glass of water again confirmed that the water had returned to its original taste.

So...... Is the state and realm of fantasy at work?

In my perception, the state of fantasy is a form similar to meditation, which has a certain similarity to Taoist meditation and Buddhist meditation. In my previous life, I had heard many times that ascetics and monks in India could float in the air after years of practice, and that Taoism had various rumors of ascending and becoming immortals.

And these rumors are closely related to the cultivation of the spiritual realm, so many scientists believe that the mind does have some kind of special power, and even some psychologists have done such an experiment.

The experiment consisted of blindfolding a death row inmate in a dark room, then slashing a non-sharp piece of iron across his wrist and mimicking the sound of water dripping from his side. The next day, the death row inmate was found dead, but in fact he had no wounds on his body.

From a psychological and medical point of view, the reason why the prisoner died was due to sympathetic nerve rebound and catecholamine secretion, which finally caused cardiac arrest, myocardial damage, heart infarction, organ failure and other results, and finally led to death.

But to another extent, this undoubtedly proves that the human mind does have special powers, which can affect one's own physical health and life safety. When sick, many doctors will tell patients that a good attitude can help with treatment and recovery, while mental illness can cause a healthy body to collapse quickly.

In another way, people's emotions can sometimes be distracting to others. When a person is angry, even if he doesn't do anything or say anything, the people around him will still be sensitive to his anger and stay away from him, or be infected by his anger.

(I remember seeing a case in a psychology book about the boss of a company who went to work in anger and did the same thing as usual, but the error rate of the company's employees that day was surprisingly high.) Since I saw it a long time ago, I only have a vague impression, and I can't find this case now, so I won't list it. ）

From these perspectives, the realm of the mind may indeed have special powers, but they are usually too faint to be perceived. A monk or Taoist priest with advanced cultivation may be able to deepen this spiritual power through cultivation, and eventually produce incredible phenomena.

In this way, my fantasy state may have reached a certain state, and the brain waves radiating from my brain turned into special forces and interfered with the real world.

So...... What are my brain waves interfering with? Is it the change in the structure of matter? Or is it like radioactivity, affecting other people's brains?

I couldn't come to a conclusion for a moment, and although I couldn't get the pencil to move, the possibility of the former could not be easily ruled out. It's also possible that I've made changes on a microscopic level, but I can't see the changes with the naked eye, but I can detect them with my sense of taste.

Of course, I think the second option is more likely. When I'm in a fantasy realm, my brain may release brain waves to the outside world, and other people's brains receive these brain waves, so my hallucinations become their hallucinations. It's like I'm sending a message to someone else's brain through my brain waves, and this message is understood by them as their own senses.

In a simple way, I became a wireless transmitter that sent acceptable brainwave signals to others and misled them.

Which one is it?

Closing my eyes in the dark, I mentally set up the experiment to be carried out tomorrow, and soon fell into a groggy sleep as I thought.

……

Early the next morning, I borrowed the "New Generation World Naturalist" from my father's study, and said that I would lend it to other children, and my father easily agreed. When I came to the fishing boat with the book, the boy named Aonuma had not yet arrived.

It was also a rare sunny day, and there were fish swimming in the water early in the morning, so I sat on the cocked bow of the boat and decided to experiment with these fish first.

The method of the experiment is very simple, probably grabbing some dirt from the ground, and then I fantasize about the dirt as earthworms, bread crumbs, grains, various insects, etc., and then sprinkle the soil into the water.

This would test my first suspicion that if my fantasy was to alter the microstructure of matter, the more sensitive fish would have eaten dirt as real food. As long as the fish is actually eaten, it is enough to confirm my suspicions. If not, the possibility cannot be completely ruled out, and other experiments are needed.

I cut the snow on the side of the gravel road on the shore, dug up some frozen soil, and returned to the boat in small buckets. When the frozen soil was melted away by the river, I began to build a fantasy world, first the color of the soil, then the shape, then the smell, the taste, the touch.

When the fantasy realm was constructed, I picked up the bucket of dirt that looked like a mixture of various food scraps, plants, and insects, and sprinkled it into the water. A few of the fish swimming in the river were startled by the sudden drop of mud and swam away from it, not gathering to eat.

I wasn't discouraged, and I still grabbed the dirt and sprinkled it in the water. It is not until most of the bucket of dirt is sprinkled that he stops, strengthens his fantasies, and then uses a realistic and rational mind to observe the dynamics of the fish in the mud-sprinkled waters.

One minute...... Five minutes...... Ten minutes......

There seems to be some confusion around the fishing boats, as they circle around the mud-splenched waters, but they don't forage at all. It's just that they gather in groups, silver carp, bighead carp, grass carp, crucian carp, eel...... All kinds of fish form a circle in the river, forming a circular fish wall with a diameter of one or two meters, which is particularly spectacular.

It was a very strange sight, completely unexpected to me. They do not rush to grab food as they find food, nor do they spread out in search of food as they normally do, but they gather together in dense clusters.

I held my chin in deep thought, constantly analyzing the cause of the situation in front of me. Although it didn't turn out as predicted, the appearance of the fish seemed to be abnormal, and from this point of view, it did have something to do with my fantasy state.

After a while, I withdrew from the fantasy realm, and the schools of fish began to disperse, each heading for their favorite waters.

When the fish were gone, I entered the fantasy realm again. This time, I didn't sprinkle the dirt, I directly constructed the fantasy of many insects, grains, and food crumbs floating on the river, and tried to combine them with reality to form a scene that established an illusion on reality.

The fish gathered at a faster rate, and they circled around the water where I had created the illusion, jumping out of the water from time to time, but finding nothing. Even then, they do not spread out, but crowd together to form a more spectacular tide of fish than just now.

Looking at this scene, I thought about it for a while and came up with a reasonable explanation.

As we all know, the senses of different creatures are inconsistent, and the senses of fish are necessarily very different from those of humans. When I create illusions based on objects that I perceive, what I create is nothing more than the illusion of "bugs, cereals, and food crumbs" that humans can recognize, not the illusion of "bugs, cereals, and food crumbs" that fish can recognize.

From this point of view, my fantasy realm may not be a change in matter, but a projection of fantasy information that I have created, which can be recognized by humans, but cannot be recognized by non-humans. Because the cognitive function of the human brain is completely different from the cognitive function of other living things.

For example, a computer in the 21st century can install different systems, which have their own compatibility, and can be compatible with software developed on their own platform, while incompatible software cannot run on the system.

Some creatures don't have color in their senses, and if I transmit to it the formidable perception of color, it won't understand what color is. Because it does not see color on its own, there is no contrast in the brain. Just as humans cannot say or understand colors that do not exist.

So in fact, my fantasy should not have any effect on fish, but when I construct my fantasy, in addition to the structure, color, and taste of "bugs, grains, and food crumbs", I also have a molded thought that "there is food here".

Generally speaking, the first information is obtained through the senses, and then the information is transmitted to the central nervous system of the brain, and then compared and analyzed with the existing memories after sorting and summarizing, and finally the conclusion can be judged, and then the existing cognitive results are confirmed by the conclusion, and the final course of action is obtained.

When a fish eats, it must first perceive edible food through its senses, and then this perception enters the fish's nerve center, which is sorted out and summarized and begins to compare with the cognitive memory of "food eaten" before.

After logical comparison, the food you see now is linked to the food you have eaten before, and then the analysis result is obtained: "This is XXX food, it can be eaten, what is the taste". After obtaining the results of the analysis, the nerve center confirms the relevant memories of previous experiences through the conclusions, and then sends action signals to the body, driving the body to move forward to eat.

Generally speaking, it is true that human sensory information and cognitive judgment are not compatible with the fish brain, but when the senses and cognition are compiled, the conclusions reached have something in common.

When I construct a hallucination, I convey not only the sensory message of "bugs, grains, and food crumbs", but also the final judgment that "there is food there". This conclusion is a common eating instinct of living beings, so it can be processed by the fish's brain.

It makes sense why the fish gathered together, because they accepted my final conclusion that "there is food here", and since the fish are not very intelligent, after this conclusion, they have been following the feeding signals sent by their brains to wander around the water.

However, despite the conclusion that "there is food here", the sensory information they receive from me about "bugs, cereals, and food crumbs" cannot be linked to food in the nerve center. In short, they don't think the dirt I'm spilling is their usual food, so they don't eat it.

Unless I send them perceptual information that is cognitively compatible, they can't eat the dirt as food.

Just this experiment, I have roughly guessed the way of the influence of the fantasy realm, although it may not be very correct, but the general answer has emerged, and the rest only needs to be carefully verified.
