What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Li Yang's answer was expected by Xiang Kun, and he looked at the blind girl next to him: "Little Apple, what about you?"

Little Apple said uncertainly: "I seem to have heard it." Then imitated a "beep" and said, "Is this the sound of a trumpet?"

"right!"

Xiang Kun said to Li Yang again: "Professor Li, you know that Little Apple's hearing is much better than other people's, but in fact my hearing is the same."

Unsurprisingly, Xiang Kun didn't feel any obvious surprise from Professor Li and Little Apple, but felt a sense of "as expected".

In fact, Xiang Kun knew from the previous few contacts that Little Apple had already found out his special sense of smell and hearing. However, Xiang Kun didn't care about this, because when he interacted with people, he would pay attention to his own words, and would not directly reveal the excess information he had obtained from his senses. However, when communicating with Little Apple, he will deliberately show that his ability to acquire sensory information is similar to or stronger than hers. This will be more convenient when discussing how to distinguish the details of birdsong.

And if Little Apple knows, it's not surprising that Professor Li Yang knows.

Xiang Kun pointed to his ears: "I'm not born with such a keen sense of hearing, I got it through practice."

"Practice?" Professor Li Yang became interested, and he immediately remembered the situation when his younger brother Li Sheng drove their father and daughter to the mountains to play and met Xiang Kun for the first time when he came back.

At that time, Xiang Kun, who was walking barefoot on the road around the mountain, although he looked a bit embarrassed in his attire, gave the impression that he was unhurried, calm and calm, with a kind of "superior demeanor". Later, after sending Xiang Kun to the station, Li Sheng even speculated that Xiang Kun went into the mountain barefoot to "exercise" on purpose, maybe he was a trainer. In the next two contacts, Little Apple also told him that Xiang Kun's sense of hearing and smell was much better than that of ordinary people, similar to hers, which further proved the previous inference. So when he heard Xiang Kun say that he had "developed" a keen sense of hearing, Li Yang didn't doubt it, but was very interested.

Xiang Kun said to Li Yang with a serious expression: "Professor Li, my training method sounds a bit metaphysical. I have never said it to other people, because they may think that I am crazy or engaged in some feudal superstition activities." .But in my case, this method is really effective, so I think if it works for Xiaomai, it should be good for her."

"What method? I want to learn!" Before Li Yang could speak, Little Apple said excitedly.

Li Yang glanced at his daughter and asked, "Tell me, what kind of method is it?"

"My practice method,

In fact, it is to pin one's attention on a certain object, and then imagine to perceive the surrounding environment through this object. I know, this statement sounds a bit nonsense, but it is indeed useful, it may be that some kind of psychological effect helps to stimulate the potential..." Xiang Kun said in a slightly unconfident tone.

"So... on what object?" From the tone of Li Yang's words, Xiang Kun could clearly judge his suspicion.

"In fact, anything is fine. It can be a stone, a tree, a piece of grass, a grain of sand, or a chair. This may be different for everyone." Xiang Kun said, and took out a few coins from his pocket. Then he took one of the one-yuan coins seemingly at random, and handed it to Li Yang first: "For me, the coin is the most effective." Then he laughed at himself: "Maybe because I am poorer and more I like money..."

Li Yang and Little Apple didn't respond to Xiang Kun's cold joke, they were all focused on the coin.

Li Yang took a closer look and thought it was just an ordinary coin, so he handed it to Little Apple, who held it in his hand and groped carefully.

With the help of the "emotional injection" little yellow man before, Xiang Kun perceived Little Apple's dream. That special cognitive mode can be said to be like a light in the dark, allowing him to find another way to see the world , beyond the limitations of the original sensory ability, gave him a brand new way of thinking.

Being able to make "Alice" is largely due to this.

So Xiang Kun has always wanted to find an opportunity to repay Little Apple, and there is nothing more meaningful than letting her "see" again.

But in Little Apple's situation, it was too difficult to completely restore her eyesight. At least with the current level of technology and Xiang Kun's ability, it was temporarily impossible.

During this period of time, he often thinks, is there a way to use his ability to give Little Apple a sensory ability similar to vision?

Or take a step back and let Little Apple "see" some scenes in dreams or other consciousness levels?

For example, if Xiang Kun perceives Little Apple's dream, and in turn makes Little Apple perceive his dream? See what he sees, feel what he feels?

Although it stands to reason, even if you imagine and dream by yourself, you need the relevant visual nerves to "see" normal scenes.

Xiang Kun thought about "emotional assimilation" plus "projection", directly "projecting" the scene he saw to Little Apple's consciousness. But soon he knew that this method would not work, because whether it was Guo Tianxiang's original version of "Looking at each other to create a projection of one's own fear", or the "Projection All Present" derived and changed by him, if it wanted to work, it had to be done. A prerequisite is "look at each other", and there must be interaction in the line of sight, even if it is only for a short moment, this seems to be a necessary condition for "transmitting data".

But since that "x" could cause so many incredible changes in Xiang Kun, it might also be able to produce miracles when it was applied to Little Apple.

As for how to make x act on other people, Xiang Kun got inspiration from the chubby girl Liu Shiling.

If Little Apple has a special connection with the items that Xiang Kun has established a "super sensory connection" like little chubby girl, maybe it can have some special senses?

After all, according to Xiang Kun's previous guesses and inferences, these items that have established "supersensory connections" and "emotional injections" are to some extent like terminal devices, which can be borrowed by specific people at certain times. A "equipment" to "call" some of Xiang Kun's abilities, just like what Liu Shiling did.

However, from the chubby girl, Xiang Kun also speculated that to achieve this step, there are many necessary conditions, such as getting his heartfelt approval, such as his own understanding and trust in these items.

The former point is easy to do, but the latter is difficult.

The little chubby girl Liu Shiling, as a naive child who is still in kindergarten and likes to fantasize, has a lot of trust in Xiang Kun and even adores him. She has witnessed some of his "magic", so she is naturally better at "fooling", and it is easy to be in her head Li has established a very complete "magic cognition", and believes in it deeply.

But Little Apple is different. Although she has been blind since she was a child, she is much older after all. He has a very high IQ, is very smart, and has a wealth of knowledge, so it is very difficult to "fool" her in the same way as he did to the little chubby girl, unless he directly shows Xiang Kun's various "supernatural" peculiarities and completely exposes himself. And in that case, it may only make Little Apple focus on him, but still fail to achieve its goal.

Xiang Kun made several plans for this, but he always felt that he was not sure enough. Until last Christmas Eve, after trying the reverse effect of that "second-hand emotion" at Tang Baona's house, he had a new idea, and felt that The chances of success are not small.

Xiang Kun said to the little apple holding the coin: "We can experiment. You can use this coin as a sustenance first, try and imagine feeling the surrounding situation through it, listening to birdsong and smelling the fragrance of grass through it, To experience everything in the park."

Li Yang asked strangely: "How should this be entrusted? Is it just imagination?"

Xiang Kun raised his finger to his lips, made a booing gesture, and said in a low voice, "Little Apple will find a way by herself."

After all, Xiang Kun leaned back against the back of the wooden chair and closed his eyes, as if he was perceiving the surrounding environment.

Li Yang couldn't help being a little amused, he naturally felt that the so-called "method" Xiang Kun said was a bit too childish, what kind of focus, if he hadn't known Xiang Kun for a while, he would have thought it was a magic stick or a psychopath up.

But listening to what Xiang Kun said, feeling the surrounding environment, listening to sounds, and smelling smells are things that Little Apple likes to do in normal times, so he didn't say anything, just sat quietly by the side as if entering "meditation" The status is one big and one small.

Li Yang thought that Xiang Kun was also perceiving the environment of the park, but in fact, his attention was on the wooden carving on Little Apple's body that resembled a cPu - when he taught her some computer-related knowledge at Little Apple's house before lunch, he took that A piece of wood carving came over as an example, and when I went to the kitchen to cook, I put it in my pocket "handy". Just after going out, he suddenly "remembered" and gave it back to Little Apple, so it is now in Little Apple's pants pocket.

Xiang Kun knew before that when Little Apple focused on perceiving the surrounding environment, she would naturally enter a certain kind of special emotion.

Through the "emotional injection" wooden cpu, Xiang Kun could perceive Little Apple's emotions in real time, and then use this feeling to let him find a way to immerse himself in the same emotion.

After more than 20 minutes, Xiang Kun gradually immersed himself in the same tranquility, peace and joyful mood as Little Apple through the connection of the cPu wood carving.

In fact, this kind of emotion is difficult for ordinary people to experience empathy, and it is difficult to substitute, because this peaceful state without obvious ups and downs does not seem to be an emotion with ups and downs, and even for most people, it is difficult to be called It's emotion, rather it's more like a state of complete peace without emotion.

However, Xiang Kun has perceived Little Apple's dreams many times before, and he is very clear about her cognitive method, and also understands Little Apple's state of mind that likes to integrate himself with nature, as if the environment is water and he is a fish. In addition, he has stronger senses of hearing and smell than Little Apple, and his perception of the surrounding environment is no worse than Little Apple, so after sensing her emotional changes through the cPu wood carving, he began to substitute little by little. , experience, until you also immerse yourself in it.

When Xiang Kun was immersed in that peaceful mood, his "emotional assimilation" ability began to act on his surroundings, which in turn affected Little Apple.

Of course, Associate Professor Li Yang, who was already a little sleepy sitting next to him, was also affected naturally, and the sleepiness dissipated, replaced by a sense of peace and tranquility. Although the eyes are closed, it seems that the winter sun is getting brighter and warmer, and the occasional birdsong brings bursts of joy, and even the cold wind blowing over becomes very comfortable, and the air is filled with A very faint, unknown floral fragrance, which he had never smelled before.

After Little Apple was affected by Xiang Kun's "emotional assimilation", her original emotions were strengthened. In this extremely peaceful and peaceful mood, her senses would also become more sensitive.

This kind of sensitivity is different from the improvement of Xiang Kun's sensory function. It is more like "software enhancement". It eliminates more interference and noise, so that she can focus more on the sound she wants to hear and the smell she wants to smell.

When the three of them got out of their emotions, more than an hour had passed before they knew it. Professor Li Yang looked at Xiang Kun in surprise, then at his daughter who was pinching coins and still in a daze, and opened his mouth to think. He said something, but he still didn't speak.

After a while, Little Apple said in surprise: "Uncle Xiang, I think I have found the feeling of focusing on the coins that you said, and it seems that I really hear it farther than usual. !"

Just find it...

Xiang Kun breathed a sigh of relief, but he was not absolutely sure that he would succeed. Because in the final analysis, all he can do is "guidance", "enhancement", and "assistance". In fact, it is essentially up to Little Apple to find his own feelings.

Xiang Kun glanced at the time, stood up with a smile and said, "It should be because your hearing is relatively strong. Ordinary people may not be able to find the feeling after trying a hundred times. At first, you can try to practice with coins first, and then try again later." Try focusing on other things."

Li Yang next to him originally wanted to say "I also found the feeling", but felt that he hadn't pinned his attention on any external objects before, so maybe the feeling was different?

After chatting with Li Yang and Little Apple for a few more words, Xiang Kun said goodbye with "Golden Sparkle" and left. He had to go to the station to buy a ticket.

The goal has been achieved, whether Little Apple can have a connection with that coin like the little chubby girl, and what she can get from this connection depends on her own destiny.

The coin in Little Apple's hand was naturally a coin that had established a "supersensory connection" with Xiang Kun. The series of operations just now were intended to make her subconscious that "the coin can be used to enhance sensory abilities".

Xiang Kun didn't tell Little Apple and Li Yang that the coin was special, nor did he show the special features of the coin with his own hands like he did to the little fat girl. It looks like it was randomly selected from a few.

Because he knew Little Apple well, and knew that if he told her that the coin had something peculiar and magical, she would only study why it was magical, what was the reason for the peculiarity, and what was the principle behind it? Only by letting her discover slowly and unconsciously, and find out the uniqueness of this coin, will she "make up" the corresponding magic by herself, and gradually become convinced in the trial.

And this way, Professor Li Yang will not be disgusted. After all, Little Apple is not a chubby girl who is still in kindergarten. Kun has a brain problem.

He is also very sure that Little Apple will definitely not abandon that coin and use other items to practice "sustaining" attention, because when she was reversely affected by Xiang Kun's "emotional assimilation" before, she was trying to "sustain her attention" Force on the coin to perceive. When she uses other objects to pin her attention, it is difficult to have the same level of feedback.

On the return bus with Jin Shining, Xiang Kun was still sitting by the window and dozed off, but he was building a cognitive model of the bus in his mind and practicing his new cognitive model.

After getting on the bus and confirming the model of the bus, he has already searched various information about the bus on the Internet with his mobile phone, so now he can build cognition more accurately based on the various sensory information that is actually fed back. Model.

Just like going to coffee shops, going to the subway, and going to various places to practice sensory abilities and how to let the brain subconsciously process the sensory information obtained and establish basic judgments when he was free, now Xiang Kun also uses every opportunity to practice. The ability to build a new cognitive model by yourself, keep trying and training, after drinking blood, the body will naturally evolve and adjust accordingly.

However, not long after leaving the station, before getting on the expressway, Xiang Kun suddenly realized something, and quickly opened the window to look at the dark clouds in the distant sky.

"Can you close the window, it's cold." Other passengers complained from the side.

"Sorry, close it now." After Xiang Kun closed the car window, he carried the birdcage covered with a cage, passed the aisle, walked to the driver's seat, and told the driver, "Master, I just remembered that there is an important I haven't done anything, I can't go, can you find a place to put me down in front?"

This kind of medium and long-distance bus between cities naturally has nothing to refuse this kind of request. Anyway, Xiang Kun didn't want to refund the ticket or make him wait.

After another section, the bus slowly pulled to the side of the road and let Xiang Kun get off.

Xiang Kun stared at the gloomy sky in the distance for a while, took out his mobile phone and checked the map, then directly hailed a taxi and said a place name.

According to Xiang Kun's intuition, or his speculation based on the cognitive model of various environmental factors around him and the cognitive model of the atmospheric electric field, he believed that a thunderstorm would happen in this city in a short time.

In winter, this kind of weather phenomenon is not common. Since Xiang Kun encountered it, he didn't want to miss it.
