The supermarket staff who was in charge of cutting and weighing the meat looked at Xiang Kun with a few pieces of pork knuckle in the warehouse, and saw that he didn't say anything, so he packed the meat and weighed it according to Lao Xia's words, and then labeled it and handed it out.

Xia Libing naturally put the packaged pork knuckle into the shopping cart, and then continued to look at the other ingredients, and didn't seem to care at all about Xiang Kun's "tricks" just now.

But after a few steps, Xiang Kun heard Xia Libing whisper: "I originally wanted to ask you some emotional questions by the way, but it seems that you have no relevant experience." ”

Listening to this, why is it a bit of a feeling of "I wanted to borrow money from you, but it turned out that you were as poor as me"?

Xiang Kun couldn't help but push the shopping cart over and whispered, "No...... Just because I'm not very popular in school doesn't mean I don't have relevant experience!"

Xia Libing, who was walking on the edge of the shopping cart, glanced back at him and did not speak.

Xiang Kun continued: "Even if I don't have a lot of emotional experience, I still have a lot of theoretical experience, I haven't eaten pork, and I've seen pigs run! By the way, when you ask emotional questions, you want to ask related emotional questions. The emotions related to this kind of emotion are actually diverse and very rich, and it is not a single emotion that can be expressed and summarized. However, this problem is actually very easy to handle, and you don't need to have specific experience, go back and watch better love movies and television dramas, maybe you can find some emotions and assimilate and share. ”

He can understand Lao Xia's idea of opening the door to emotional perception, and after feeling the emotions of "funny and happy" through "emotional assimilation", he wants to feel more of the emotional types that ordinary people have.

There is no doubt that emotional communication between people, such as love, is the state that is most likely to burst out of various emotions.

Liking people, being liked, liking each other, asking for nothing, quietly crushing, emotional breakdown, betrayal by others, and other states will bring very complex emotional experiences, and Lao Xia will be curious, which is very normal.

However, after listening to his words, Xia Libing said: "The first time I played cards at Nana's house, I played Truth or Dare, and I really asked you how many times you were in love, and you said 'once', it's not true." ”

Xiang Kun glanced at Lao Xia: "I originally wanted to make a sumptuous dinner, but you seem to have eaten too much meat recently, why don't you eat vegan tonight?"

Xia Libing's face remained unchanged, and he naturally changed the topic: "How do you feel after the events in the mountains and the sea? ”

Xiang Kun was slightly stunned, the span of this topic change was really big enough, but he still instantly understood what Lao Xia meant.

If he only said "things in the mountains", then he might still be a little confused, because there are too many things that have happened in various mountains, from Zihuan Mountain, to Wushu Mountain, to Chongyun Mountain, Qinling Mountains, etc., if there is no specific reference, I don't know which time.

But with the juxtaposition of the "sea mile" and the next two sentences, he immediately knew what Lao Xia was referring to - referring to the lightning storm he triggered earlier when he was "flying with electricity" in the mountains to hit two fugitives, and this time when he entered the sea to save Xia Tianhuo when he was in Burma, he caused the kidnappers on the ship to kill each other.

The commonality of the two things, the need to be asked about his feelings, and the need to ask if he needs to "talk" with Lao Xia, obviously refers to the fact that in these two incidents, his actions directly or indirectly caused the death of people.

But to be honest, it was when Lao Xia asked at this time that he began to recall and realize the casualties caused by these two incidents, and he didn't have any special feelings before.

But looking back now, he realizes that "no feeling" is actually a different kind of feedback than before.

If it was Xiang Kun before the mutation, these two things happened, witnessing a whole boatload of people killing each other, witnessing two people being scorched by lightning, his heart would definitely be greatly shocked, and he would be frightened a lot - he was not a very bold person before.

Why doesn't there be any feeling now?

Judging from the visual impact, when he obtained Guo Tianxiang's memory fragments before, he saw more bloody scenes in those memory fragments - Guo Tianxiang did a lot of bloody and cruel things when he was in Africa.

Those images were no longer able to impact him, not to mention the lightning slash and the fight on the ship.

Seeing bloody scenes, especially the death of the same kind, most ordinary people who have not received special training will enter a state of "fight or flight" stress to varying degrees, which is an instinct engraved in the DNA.

But because Xiang Kun is constantly evolving, from his sensory ability to his physical strength, recovery ability, and athletic ability, he is not at the same level as ordinary humans at all, and many injuries or actions will not cause fatal injuries to him at all, and even belong to the extent that he can hide if he wants to, and it is completely fine to bear it.

Unlike those who have undergone a lot of training and have increased their mental endurance, Xiang Kun has changed his instincts directly from the bottom of his body, naturally.

Just like the average person who sees someone else being kicked in the ass or pinched in the arm, they don't feel any intense discomfort.

And now, the collection of sensory information is also fundamentally different from ordinary people, when an event or a phenomenon occurs, he collects and processes information from sight, hearing, taste, touch and even the sixth sense, and the amount of information collected is much larger than that of ordinary people.

It's like when you see a picture with a low resolution, the first feedback most people get can only be the intuitive feeling brought by the composition and color of the picture, but Xiang Kun can get the information of each pixel for the first time, and there will inevitably be differences in feelings and cognition.

From a moral perspective, although Xiang Kun will not set a principle for himself to never kill like Batman in DC Comics, he also has his own code of conduct:

When confronted with ordinary human beings, the use of abilities must be limited, and when encountering anything, first consider solving it through conventional means within the framework of society.

When using extraordinary means in the event of a "mutated creature", it is necessary to clarify who and what circumstances you want to use your abilities, and what is necessary when you use each ability.

The two fugitives in the Chongyun Mountains were killed by the thunder of his "lightning flight", not because he deliberately controlled the lightning attack, but because he used his ability explosively, causing the clouds to continue to discharge at high intensity for a short time, creating a small area of lightning storms.

However, this result was expected by him, and he would not deceive himself into thinking that the deaths of the two fugitives had nothing to do with him, but he was very clear that those two people had a direct threat to Lao Xia first, this was legitimate defense, this was emergency avoidance, so this behavior did not conflict with his code of conduct.

In the same way when dealing with kidnappers at sea, Xiang Kun chose to let them "judge themselves" through the emotional projection of the "eight-armed and eight-eyed wood carving", if in the process, someone has a direct threat to Xia Tianhuo, he will also shoot directly and kill with thunder, which is also legitimate defense.

Of course, he is not a moral saint, nor does he consider himself a "judge", and he does not ask himself to determine whether everyone on the ship is "guilty and deserved" and whether everyone "deserves to be punished".

Extraordinary moments, extraordinary means.

So on the moral level, he will not be bothered by anything either.

Xia Libing's very simple sentence made Xiang Kun conduct a lot of "self-inspection" in an instant.

However, the process is actually very fast, from Lao Xia's words to Xiang Kun's completion of self-thinking, it only takes a second in total.

Xiang Kun thought of the poem number of a character called "Buddha Sword Divide" in a certain work, and felt that it was quite suitable as an answer, and it was very compelling, so he smiled slightly and said to Lao Xia: "Don't worry, I don't have any problems." 'Killing is to protect life, cutting karma is not killing people', I think very clearly. ”

Lao Xia glanced at him: "Oh." Then he began to help him take things out of the shopping cart and scan the code to checkout.

This made Xiang Kun, who originally thought that it would be more compelling to say it, suddenly felt as if he was a little funny, slightly embarrassed.

However, after settling the bill, leaving the supermarket with the ingredients he bought, and on the way back, Xiang Kun looked at Lao Xia with an indifferent expression next to him, and suddenly realized that Lao Xia suddenly asked that sentence just now, in fact, he was not necessarily worried that his psychology would be affected by those two things, otherwise, he should have talked to him earlier, and he would not have suddenly mentioned it at this time.

Lao Xia, who has an all-round observation and understanding of him, should know very well that those two things will not have any impact on his state and psychology.

Linked to the topic just now, Lao Xia brought up this matter at this time...... It should be reminding him that with his current super sensory ability and way of thinking, as well as the state he is in, there are many emotions, and it may be many times more difficult to obtain them than before the mutation.

Obviously, Xia Libing, who can only obtain new emotional perception through his "emotional assimilation", is also worried that Xiang Kun is also worried that the threshold of certain emotions is too high due to Xiang Kun's continuous mutation and evolution, so that she will also reduce the opportunity to perceive those emotions.

However, for this situation, for the time being, Xiang Kun himself has no good way to solve it.

When he returned home, Xiang Kun went to process the ingredients and cook, while Lao Xia entered the "world of consciousness" through the "CAKE01" notebook, and established a special connection with the "black circle graffiti" that Alice had briefly sensed before, in preparation for the later experiments.

Dinner was quite hearty for Xiang Kun, including Lao Xia's favorite crispy pork knuckle, as well as fish soup, lamb chops, two plates of green vegetables that were also adjusted according to her taste, and fragrant rice.

Lao Xia naturally didn't live up to the food, completely let go of her belly to eat, and even untied the belt of the overalls and trousers she was wearing today, and operated the chopsticks and soup spoon alternately, opening and closing.

The whole dining process was quiet, efficient and fast, and Lao Xia ate with a sense of rhythm, so that Xiang Kun, who was eating "ice cream" next to him, secretly sighed, fortunately, "Little Apple" was not so persistent about eating, otherwise he would have thought that the "access conditions" of his "super sensory item system" were "foodies".

After dinner, Xia Libing, who had eaten slightly, walked around the house a few times, sat on the sofa and was stunned for a while, and then his eyelids began to become heavier, and he was really sleepy.

Xiang Kun hurriedly asked Lao Xia to go to bed and lie down to sleep, he also explained to Alice, checked the arrangement of the relevant "love objects" and "super alliances", and only after getting ready, did he sit down on the computer chair next to the bed.

Xia Libing quickly relaxed, obeyed sleepiness, and fell into a deep sleep.

Xiang Kun judged that she had fallen asleep through Lao Xia's breathing and other physical state information, but he did not immediately sense the "love object" to trigger the dream, but waited for a while before starting to sense.

In Lao Xia's dream, as before, she quickly "woke up", and then, according to the plan, began to try to establish a "dream within a dream" through the "black circle graffiti".

Normally, the establishment of "dream within a dream" requires that there are people who have fallen asleep around the "black circle graffiti", and at present, there are no other "people" in that range except for Xiang Kun and Lao Xia himself.

If it weren't for the "experiment" with Alice at noon, and the attempt to carry out this "dream within a dream" directly, there is no doubt that there is no suspense, and it will definitely not be possible to establish any "dream within a dream" through that "black circle graffiti".

But after successfully perceiving the "black circle graffiti" at noon and briefly accessing the world of "super-sensory information", Alice has found a "format" that can be assimilated and influenced by the "love object".

Whether it is human consciousness activities or computer data processing, after the unification of "super-connected objects" and "emotional objects", they can essentially be regarded as the same "format".

Of course, all this is just a plan that Xiang Kun has figured out by himself and should be feasible in theory, and he is not sure what the actual result will be.

The chances of success in this step are much smaller than in the midday experiment.

Xiang Kun, who sensed Lao Xia's dream, was slightly nervous and excited and waited for the result of Lao Xia's establishment of a "dream within a dream".

When he felt that Lao Xia's dream began to become chaotic, and all kinds of sensory information disappeared quickly, but the dream did not collapse, Xiang Kun knew that the "dream within a dream" was successfully established!

Xiang Kun is very excited, as long as the "dream within a dream" is established, it means that this experiment is successful, and Alice has the basic conditions to be included in the "Super Sensory Item System", as for what kind of dream Alice has, it doesn't matter.

Alice's "dream within a dream" established by Lao Xia shows that the dream is an incomparably chaotic space, and all kinds of sensory information are disorganized, making this dream impossible to be recognized and understood by normal people's consciousness.

Even Xiang Kun, who can adapt to Little Apple's dreams, can read the memory fragments of "mutant parasites" and "mutant spiders", and can understand various cognitive information in the "supersensory state" to a certain extent, is also confused about this dream - he thinks that Alice herself has not been able to figure out what she dreamed of.

Just when Xiang Kun felt that this "dream within a dream" should end like this, the surrounding environment changed drastically, and then a somewhat familiar white room appeared in Xiang Kun's visual perception.

Xiang Kun instantly recognized that this was the room that had appeared many times in Lao Xia's dream.

But now, the room was empty, there was nothing, no Lao Xia, and no Alice.

Obviously, the room that is now on display is the result of Lao Xia's influence on Alice's "dream within a dream".

At this time, Lao Xia and Alice are like the materials that make up this room, and he is the one who overlooks the voyeur above the room.

Xiang Kun was a little curious, what was Lao Xia going to do?

Alice was clearly not comfortable with this type of connection, unable to process data in this way, and unable to find the right way to express information.

Xiang Kun, the creator of Alice and an experienced old programmer, can't find a good solution for the time being, does Lao Xia already have a solution in such a short time?

A moment later, Xia Libing, who was wearing cargo pants, basketball shoes, and a sports coat, appeared in the room, which was the first time Xiang Kun saw Lao Xia himself who was not a "panda expression" in "Dream within a Dream".

Nine coins and a tungsten steel ball appeared in the room immediately afterward, which were dream projections of ten "super-conjugs" that had a special connection with Lao Xia.

The pearl floated to a corner of the room, dissipated and condensed into the form of a little girl.

The little girl was dressed in a gorgeous princess dress, with black leather shoes on her feet, and cute ornaments pinned to her head, and her facial features were exquisite, but her face was expressionless, and there was no sparkle in her big eyes, and she squatted in the corner of the room, holding a scalpel and scratching and digging on the wall, as if she wanted to dig a tunnel and run out, as if she was studying the material of the wall.

The image of this girl...... It is clearly what Xiang Kun once saw in Lao Xia's dream, and she appeared through the projection of the "super-link" dream of her own childhood!

But now, Xiang Kun is very sure that this "little Lao Xia" is Alice's expression in this dream—or rather, Lao Xia's expression of guiding and controlling her in this dream.

This dream is Alice's, but the super administrator is Lao Xia, who is helping Alice to construct and understand the dream.

As for Xiang Kun, he is the power supply.

Lao Xia in the room beckoned to the "little Lao Xia" in the corner, so the little girl who was squatting in the corner and digging the wall with a scalpel instantly came to her, looked up at her blankly with her little face.

The current Alice version of "Little Lao Xia", compared to the delicate little girl that Xiang Kun saw for the first time in Lao Xia's dream, although the appearance is completely the same, and the face is also expressionless, but it is still slightly different, at the beginning, "Xiao Lao Xia" looked indifferent, and now "Xiao Lao Xia" is at a loss, with confusion and curiosity in her big eyes.

"Who are you?" asked Lao Xia in his dream.

"Who am I?" "Xiao Lao Xia" repeated the question, tilted his head to think, and gradually, his blank eyes began to focus slowly.

"I'm Xiang Kun's assistant. ”

"I'm the boss's assistant. ”

"I'm ...... Alice. ”
