What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Chapter 110 Emotional Assimilation

After coming out of the community where Xia Libing lived, Xiang Kun fell into a certain emotion inexplicably because of a song. Along the way, his subjective attention was in his own situation, and he didn't pay attention to the surrounding situation.

But this does not mean that he has no memory of various sensory information around him, including visual images.

With his super sensory ability and almost instinctive observation consciousness, he still captured a lot of information, but he didn't notice it at the time.

Now looking back at the information, looking back at the pictures in the corner of his eyes, he keenly noticed the eyes and strange behavior of some passers-by.

Usually, if you are on the road, occasionally people around you will linger on him for a moment, probably because they are attracted by his bald head shape, but that kind of situation is still very rare. Not that big.

In this kind of big city, you can see any kind of dress, and bald head itself is not uncommon. So even if there is that kind of short-stay gaze, it is basically swept away, and will not stare at him all the time.

But judging from the pictures in my previous memory, the action of quickly pulling back after sweeping the eyes is like seeing a black man accidentally on the road. The feeling of looking past.

The total number of attention drawn to him inexplicably is not many, but in terms of probability, it is already quite abnormal.

If it is because he is particularly conspicuous with the bow bag he is carrying today, then when he entered the subway station, entered the subway car, and later arrived at the station and re-entered the street, why did he not have such a betting sight?

Obviously, during the distance from Xia Libing's house to the subway station, something special happened.

And Xiang Kun knew very well that the most special thing was that he was influenced by that Xu Wei's song and entered into his imaginary emotions.

He turned his attention to the phone again, and quickly checked the content on Weibo, especially the first Weibo.

"...Although he walks in the crowd, he has a sense of loneliness that is apart from the world, like a lone ranger who is burdened with many secrets..."

Looking at these words, Xiang Kun thought deeply.

If it was someone else, they might think it was a coincidence that the blogger was able to have the same state of mind as himself.

But Xiang Kun, who has experienced various experiences, knows that this situation is probably not a coincidence, but the influence he exerted on the people around him unconsciously, causing them to have the same emotions as him without knowing it. resonance.

It's just that Xiang Kun's emotional point is on himself, and the emotional points of other people are also on him.

After a quick glance at other netizens' comments on the original photo, Xiang Kun judged that the photo did not have that kind of resonance effect on people.

But to be sure, he asked Tang Baona again on WeChat: "Do you feel anything when you look at that photo?"

"How does it feel?" Tang Baona sent a puzzled expression.

Xiang Kun: "Didn't that blogger think my back looks like a lone ranger? What do you think?"

Tang Baona: "Well, it does look like a lone ranger, carrying a bow bag, as if he is going to hunt something..."

Tang Baona sent a series of laughing emojis: "I think you are going to hunt rabbits, pigs, sheep, pheasants, and roe deer with a bow and arrow... Hey, there are too many meaty ones, so you can pick them by the way." Order mushrooms, wild vegetables, etc... and make them all gourmet food! Chef Saigao! I’ve decided, I’ll give you a chef’s hat and a set of chef’s knives for Christmas!”

Xiang Kun: "..."

He determined that photos really can't affect other people's emotions, only those around him at that time can.

And the influence doesn't seem to be very strong.

After all, not everyone who passed by him or glanced at him reacted. Generally speaking, it was only a small part. I don't know what the mechanism of the effect is. This needs to be studied later.

I remembered the last time when I was cooking and listening to music in the middle of the night, I couldn't help but sing along. As a result, other residents complained, and the security guard came up and knocked on the door.

Xiang Kun realized that his falling into this emotion didn't seem to have much direct relationship with the song itself. Now that he suddenly found the song "Once Upon a Time", it would not be so easy to get into that emotion again.

The opportunity for him to enter emotions should not be much different from that of ordinary people, but once he enters a certain emotion, he will easily get carried away, ignore the information of the surrounding environment, and be completely immersed and invested. But that is different from the backlash after exerting a deterrent effect on the target with fierce emotions, it is not a manifestation of loss of control, even if he is fully invested in a certain emotion, he is still himself.

As for music, it is itself a catalyst for emotions.

Not because he is easily influenced by music, so he is easily immersed in emotions, but because he is easily immersed in emotions, he is easily affected by music.

Later, if he needs to immerse himself in a specific emotion, he may also be able to guide and assist him by choosing specific and relevant music.

According to the summary of the situations encountered several times, Xiang Kun has a basic judgment and certain guesses about his ability to influence and deter humans and other animals from the spiritual level:

1. When you exert a deterrent effect on a specific person or animal, the target will be oppressed by your own emotions and is the recipient of the emotion. Creatures of the same type as the target within a certain range around will be affected by the same weakening effect;

Second, when I don't lock in any goals, but when I am immersed in a certain emotion physically and mentally, it will have an emotional assimilation effect on the surrounding humans, causing them to have the same emotions as myself, but the goal of this emotion is the same as myself. That is to say, when Xiang Kun feels that he is a "killer without emotion", other people who have been assimilated by emotions will not feel that they are "killers without emotion", but will also feel that Xiang Kun is like a "killer without emotion". the killer";

Three, this ability to influence other creatures through their own intentions and emotions should be obtained from the blood of the "giant owl". But this ability should have undergone some mutations in himself. At the beginning, this ability on the "Giant Owl" should only help it deter other creatures in the territory and swear that it is strong. It is probably just a The "passive effect" that it didn't realize, otherwise, if it could be actively applied to the hunting target, it would be impossible not to use it when fighting Xiang Kun twice.

Presumably, its brain has a relatively simple way of thinking and does not have as many and complex emotions as humans, so this ability has not derived and developed more functional directions.

After making a conclusion, Xiang Kun called the way of locking the target's emotional influence "spiritual shock", while the way of not locking the target, but only immersing himself in emotions and causing passive influence on other people, was called "emotional assimilation".

Whether it's "spiritual shock" or "emotional assimilation", Xiang Kun decided to use it as little as possible in the crowd, especially the latter, where it's easy to fall into a certain emotion unknowingly, and then use it non-subjectively.

As for "spiritual shock", if it is not necessary, it should be used as little as possible on human targets. He is going to conduct enough experiments and conclusions on other animals first, master enough skills and training and guidance methods, and then study more application methods. In order not to unknowingly enter the direction of mutation that he does not want. After all, previous experience has shown that in the process of affecting other creatures, "spiritual shock" will also affect him in reverse, especially after sunset.

He vaguely felt that this ability, which was suspected to be derived from the blood of the "giant owl", still had a lot to be developed and explored.

And thinking about the possible principles of this kind of ability and the meaning behind it made him even more excited and looking forward to it.
