What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Chapter 138 Goal

Xiang Kun caught a rabbit out of the kitchen, ready to try the psychological influence.

From Guo Tianxiang's messy memories, it can be seen that he also had the experience of exerting influence on animals to make them see things of fear.

So try it with a rabbit, there should be no problem.

Putting the rabbit on the dining table, Xiang Kun first stared at it from the front, trying to meet its gaze.

Xiang Kun knew that the eyes of rabbits were much different from those of humans, because of their different habits, they had different structures.

The eyes of the rabbit are located on the top of both sides, and the visual range is almost 360 degrees, and the front and back can be seen clearly. It can guard against malicious guys around when grazing.

However, there is a small blind spot in front of the rabbit. At a short distance directly in front of the rabbit, only two-dimensional effects can be seen, and a three-dimensional image cannot be constructed.

Moreover, the focusing muscles of the rabbit's eyes are very weak, so the ability to focus on short-distance targets is relatively weak, and it is difficult to see clearly.

In order to avoid winking for the blind, Xiang Kun first approached slowly from the front, and then slowly moved to the front obliquely, keeping a certain distance, and leaned down slightly so that his eyes were nearly parallel to it, so that Let it see its own eyes clearly and "look at" itself.

Although through Guo Tianxiang's memory, he has seen the picture of him using this ability many times, and he has been personally experienced once as a target, but these can only let him know the result of this ability, and there is no way to know how to use it. The process and method, the mode of triggering. You can only try it yourself like you just found the visual mode of infrared thermal imaging.

It’s like getting a four-wheeled machine, knowing that it can run, but how to drive it, but you can only find out by yourself, and the normal steps of finding out must follow the familiar and driven cars before. Driving way, first try.

While keeping his eyes on the rabbit, Xiang Kun switched his eyes to infrared imaging mode.

It seemed that Xiang Kun had some malicious intentions, and the rabbit wanted to jump away.

Xiang Kun keenly observed the changes in the rabbit's thigh muscles. The moment it was about to jump up, he stretched out his hand to hold him down, and pressed him down on the table again.

After trying repeatedly for a long time and using various methods, Xiang Kun still couldn't find a way to let the rabbit see the thing of fear through eye contact.

There were even two unintentional triggers of "mental shock". Fortunately, it was only a "suppression" type, not a "killing" type. The impact on the rabbit was not very large, and it recovered after a while.

Xiang Kun felt that his abilities of "spiritual awe", "emotional assimilation", and "supersensory connection" and Guo Tianxiang's ability of "eye-eye hypnotism" and "eye-eye creation of self-fear projection" were different in specific aspects. There are differences in the form of expression and specific impact results, but the essence and underlying implementation methods are likely to be the same.

And this method is what Xiang Kun has been thinking about and looking for. He always feels that once he finds it, it may bring him into a new field, understand his mutation from a new perspective, and even re-understand this method. The whole world.

Based on Xiang Kun's current thinking, the preliminary analysis obtained from his knowledge system is related to the characteristics of particles in the microscopic field.

These abilities all have a common characteristic, that is, they are connected with the user's consciousness.

There are tens of billions of interconnected neurons in the normal human brain, and there are tens of thousands of dendrites on the neurons, which are connected with the axon terminal branches of other neurons to form a synaptic structure to transmit signals .

In addition to neurons, there are more than ten times as many glial cells as neurons in the brain, accounting for more than half of the brain volume.

Glial cells form a section of myelin sheath on the axon, and the space in the middle is called the node of Ranvier, and the electrical signal conducts jumping and fast transmission along the axon.

It is very likely that the constant potential changes and signal conduction in the entire extremely complex nervous system constitute our consciousness. Of course, the reverse could also be said that these are products of consciousness.

No matter how it is defined, in essence, what can interact and affect matter can only be matter.

Then it can also be said that consciousness is also composed of elementary particles.

We generally believe that in order for human consciousness to affect the real world, it needs to control the brain to send various signals to the body, and then make speech, action or other behaviors to affect the outside world. Consciousness acquires information from the outside world, and it also needs to obtain information through various sensory organs and nerves, and then transform it into various signals in the brain.

However, mutated creatures like Xiang Kun, Guo Tianxiang, and giant owls may have evolved a certain function in their brains that allows their consciousness to directly connect and influence the outside world.

This effect is likely to be achieved through the microscopic realm, through many particle properties that are as yet unknown.

Therefore, they can perceive the position of the object that establishes a connection regardless of the distance, can affect the emotions of others from a distance, and can let others see the existence that they fear in their hearts, and they can see it themselves.

Of course, these are still just his reasoning and imagination - no matter what the phenomenon is, it is his habit to find a theory that is barely plausible based on his own knowledge. As for whether it is correct or not, follow-up verification is required.

No matter whether Xiang Kun's mutated ability has surpassed the limit of current scientific research, what he can use to discover and analyze himself can only be the scientific methods known in modern times.

Just like at the level of consciousness and brain thinking, what he can think of can only be observed and judged through fMRI, EEG, EcoG, MEG and the like.

In fact, there have been many achievements in the research on reading brain consciousness by reading brain waves. The most common is typing or making sounds by reading brain waves.

For example, at the F8 developer conference in 2017, a system that allowed a patient with ALS to type with his brain was demonstrated.

In 2018, Kyoto University released a study that can read people's brain waves and restore the technology they have seen in their brains.

However, these are only in the field of interpretation of brain activity for the time being, and are basically in the study of functional cognition.

If Xiang Kun wanted to do in-depth research, he had to either become an expert in these fields and enter various research institutes and laboratories, or earn enough money to invest in research by himself and get someone to work for him.

Of course, Xiang Kun is not in a hurry now. For now, the first thing he needs to do is to grasp the abilities he possesses and guide the evolution step by step.

Even if Mike Tyson does not know how many muscles the human body has, how each muscle contracts and stretches when punching, how food is absorbed and transformed, how adenosine triphosphate is decomposed, and how mitochondria in cells consume organic matter and oxygen, it does not prevent him from systematically training, and then stepped onto the ring and punched a monster. 8)
