"That's why I put you at the back of the line." Fan Xin continued: "In order for me to establish this spiritual 'connection' with that security lady in advance. ”

"Spiritual ...... Contact ......" Yan Xiuze tilted his head, and his face seemed to have some intriguing changes.

"What's that look on your face?"

"Ah...... It's nothing, I just think it...... Felt ......"

"What do you think?"

Yan Xiuze sighed lightly at this time, and said slowly: "I think it's a little unscientific. ”

"Unscientific? Do you mean my abilities? Fanxin asked rhetorically.

"Well, sort of."

"Actually, it's not like it's impossible to explain." "In a sense, people's emotions gradually change with the change of the environment, and this 'change of environment' may be naturally formed, of course, it may also be man-made. ”

As he dragged his suitcase slowly, he explained slowly, "For example, people are afraid in a dark and claustrophobic room, which is understandable, right? ”

"But if you turn on the lights in the room at this time, that person's fear will be diluted a little."

Or another example, you're in a public place, like on a bus, or in a coffee shop...... In this kind of crowded place, if a stranger next to you suddenly pulls out a knife from his backpack, then you must be nervous and vigilant, right? ”

"I'm afraid that the less timid ones are already going to subconsciously retreat, right?" Yan Xiuze thought about that scene and said.

"Yes, it's normal to be nervous in this situation, but this nervousness is actually a signal from your brain to you, which is equivalent to a self-protection mechanism, as if to tell you - hey, that person took out a knife, he has the possibility of hurting you now, you have to be prepared - this kind of feeling."

"But when that person takes an apple out of his backpack again and starts to peel it with the knife he used to hold before, then your nervousness and vigilance will quickly dissipate."

"And the reason why your nervousness will dissipate is because you know that his 'knife' behavior is not to hurt anyone, but only to peel apples...... So the brain gives you another hint, and that is - this guy is not targeting you, you can let your guard down. ”

"But this tension can't disappear completely, because although the knife wielder's motive is ostensibly 'peeling an apple', after all, he has a sharp weapon and still has the ability to hurt you, so the tension will not go to zero - even if he then finishes peeling the apple and puts the knife back in his backpack, your tension will not completely disappear."

"Because you already know an established fact, and that is – this man has a knife in his backpack."

"That's why I said that once an emotion emerges, it is difficult to completely zero in, and there is a problem of psychological mechanism involved here."

"But the core is actually the same, and that is that emotions can be manipulated through certain psychological cues."

"I don't know if you noticed that at the moment when you passed through the security check, the young lady who passed through the security check began to be suspicious, I snapped my fingers lightly with my right hand."

"yes, I heard you." Yan Xiuze, who is deaf and clear-sighted, naturally can't miss this key snap of his fingers: "This is equivalent to some kind of 'hint', or ...... 'switch'?" ”

Fan Xin nodded: "Well, you can understand it that way. ”

"Hmm...... But I can't figure out what the inevitable connection is between the action of 'snapping my fingers' and 'dispelling the doubts of the security personnel'......" Yan Xiuze was still puzzled by this.

"It's hard to explain to you, but how to put it, this logic makes sense in my world." "You don't understand because you don't have my superpowers, so it's hard to look at this problem from my point of view." ”

"Besides......" The fan changed his mind at this time: "Speaking of unscientific things...... Your superpowers aren't scientific, are they? ”

"Using brain waves to control the gaseous particles around you doesn't sound much more realistic than my abilities, does it?"

"This ......" Yan Xiuze frowned, and just wanted to subconsciously refute it, but found that it seemed to be the case: "This is also ......"

"But in that case, it's not like I've never seen more outrageous superpowers." Yan Xiuze sighed slightly: "It's not so much that I've only discovered this kind of unreasonableness now, it's better to say ...... Since that inexplicable meteor shower, all kinds of superpowers have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the whole world has begun to mess up. ”

"In this case, there are naturally a lot of strange things that are difficult to explain with science, and we superpowers have become strange one by one, but we are getting closer and closer to the gods and goddesses in ancient mythology."

Fanxin heard Yan Xiuze's exclamation, but she suddenly paused and looked at Yan Xiuze with an inexplicable gaze: "Hey, there is a more sensitive question, I haven't asked you all the time." ”

"What's the problem?" Yan Xiuze was slightly stunned.

"Are you religious?"

"Why did you suddenly ask about this?" The topic was suddenly turned in a delicate direction, and Yan Xiuze couldn't react for a while, but he didn't refuse to answer: "There is definitely no religious belief." ”

"That's right...... Even after the emergence of superpowers, all kinds of supernatural abilities have been frequently released, and they are completely inexplicable by science, are you still a staunch materialist? ”

"After all, since the appearance of the superpowers, I have also seen the news, many new religions have appeared around the world, and those old religions have basically found entries from the original doctrines, trying to explain everything that suddenly appeared 'unreasonable'...... For example, the destruction of the world, the apocalypse, the reincarnation, and so on. ”

"Hmm...... There are suddenly many things in the world that are difficult for human beings to explain with existing knowledge, which means that some of the previous human cognition of the world has been impacted, so confusion is inevitable. Yan Xiuze pondered his sentences and said slowly: "In this case, some people choose to embrace the unknown and believe in the existence of gods and ghosts, which is actually an understandable behavior. ”

"When people are vulnerable and helpless, they do grasp all the life-saving straws they can grasp, even if they seem a little illusory...... But it's also better than nothing. ”

"But ......," Yan Xiuze said slowly:

"I'm not going to believe any of these things."
