My Situation Is Simple Enough to Explain (Part 2)
Xiang Kun gave a general overview of his various abilities and briefly explained his guiding principles and the process of developing each ability.
Naturally, he mentioned the other Mutated Creature he encountered.
The story begins with the Giant Owl and then jumps directly to the mutated spider in the Qinling Uninhabited Zone, without mentioning Guo Tianxiang's matter.
Lao Xia would occasionally ask questions about Xiang Kun's various abilities and other Mutated Creature, but she was mostly interested in objective data and performance, and rarely asked about Xiang Kun's subjective judgments or feelings.
Some of that data was recorded and measured by Xiang Kun himself, while some he couldn't accurately provide.
Lao Xia was clearly listening to his story while simultaneously comparing it to his past observations of him and the timeline, occasionally raising questions that seemed to contradict his account, such as:
"Since you vomit after eating, why do I still often see you eating normally, just less?"
Xiang Kun then took out the two stones he had used to suppress vomiting and established a "Super-Sensory Link," and explained the relevant principles and his thinking.
Hearing this, Lao Xia looked at the two pebbles and nodded thoughtfully. "Quite an idea."
Xiang Kun readily accepted Lao Xia's praise, omitting the fact that he got his inspiration from exploring the Giant Owl's nest and discovering certain stones.
Lao Xia also keenly realized a crucial point. "Is the information about the existence of 'Mutated Creature' being blocked?"
Although she didn't immediately search online based on the information Xiang Kun described, she knew that if information about such a creature were truly made public, given the speed at which information spreads online, it would definitely be common knowledge.
Xiang Kun nodded, and after weighing his options, he began to recount the information he had found online from a user named "August's Kasumi," which led to his "battle of wits" with Guo Tianxiang and Mi Qiao.
When it came to the final showdown with Guo Tianxiang, he only focused on Guo Tianxiang's ability to "Fear Projection Through Eye Contact," and then described his process of organizing what Guo Tianxiang left behind and analyzing certain memory fragments.
He didn't specify how to deal with Guo Tianxiang, but he knew that given the previous discussion about dealing with the Giant Owl and the mutated spider, Lao Xia would definitely understand.
However, Lao Xia didn't react in any particular way. He just asked Guo Tianxiang what kind of illusion she had created, seemingly comparing it with the cake and pork knuckle that she had "manifested".
In fact, when Xiang Kun first considered revealing his situation to Lao Xia, he only intended to disclose some of his physical characteristics, focusing on "Super-Linked Object" and "Emotion-Infused Object," so that Lao Xia could help him study and analyze the special connections behind them, and how to further "apply" and "develop" them—after all, judging from the effect of the "Fantasy Manifestation" ability, the "system" that Lao Xia built using his ability had considerable room for development.
But after reading Lao Xia's softcover notebook and seeing Lao Xia's various speculations and judgments about him, Xiang Kun knew that just talking about it wouldn't work.
So his idea was to only talk about the Giant Owl and the mutated spider regarding other "Mutated Creature," and to Guo Tianxiang and "Shenxing Technology" aside for the time being, to find time to talk about them later.
However, during the conversation with Lao Xia, based on Lao Xia's reaction and the "behavioral pattern guidelines" he had seen in the softcover notebook, Xiang Kun changed his strategy again. He decided to tell Lao Xia about Guo Tianxiang, Shenxing Technology, and other things he had learned through other channels about Mutated Creature —such as the wild wolf that his old classmate Xie Jun mentioned when Lao Xia Chang Bin got married, which was suspected to Mutated Creature.
Basically, apart from the existence of "Alice," Xiang Kun told Lao Xia all the information about his mutation without reservation.
Previously, he trusted Lao Xia and felt that Lao Xia's observation and spying on him were not malicious, but based on his relationship with Lao Xia, Yang Zhen'er, Nana and the others, as well as Lao Xia's consistent behavior.
However, at that time, this trust only prevented him from being wary or distant from her because of Lao Xia's observation and spying.
What truly made him trust Lao Xia and eventually reveal the mutation was that, besides Lao Xia showing him his medical records and related information, another important reason was that Lao Xia had established connections with his many "Super-Linked Object" and "Emotion-Infused Object," just like Little Apple and Liu Shiling, and were already members of his "hyper-sensory system" or "hyper-sensory network."
In a sense, Lao Xia is also a person with "special abilities," and her abilities come from Xiang Kun.
In terms of their attributes, they are, to some extent, already the same type of people.
The reason Xiang Kun ultimately chose to tell Lao Xia everything about the mutation without reservation was because of the 972 "behavioral pattern guidelines" in Lao Xia's softcover notebook that he had just seen.
These 972 rules are actually Lao Xia's guiding principles for doing things, and also a manifestation of her process of exploring normal emotional cognition. After reading these 972 rules, Xiang Kun basically understood Lao Xia's way of judging things and people and her learning methods.
The most important point in Lao Xia's judgment method is that it must be equal.
Since Lao Xia was being honest with him, he shouldn't hide anything if he needed Lao Xia's help. With Lao Xia's keen observation skills, it would be easy for him to spot what Lao Xia was omitting. Rather than revealing it slowly later, it would be better to just be completely open about it.
Of course, the specific details, as well as deeper thoughts and discussions, cannot all be covered in a short time, and Xiang Kun can only provide a simple, straightforward account.
Just as he was talking about how he found Qicheng City based on the details of his dream and discovered a Research Base of "Shenxing Technology", Xiang Kun's phone vibrated.
He looked up and saw it was his mother calling, so he quickly answered.
"Kun, are you with Xia Xia now?" Mom said on the phone, seemingly trying to lower her voice.
"Yes, Xia brought my backpack over. We chatted for a bit in the parking lot, and then I went upstairs right away," Xiang Kun said.
"Hey, I'm not rushing you. I'm calling to tell you that your dad and I have already eaten dinner in the hospital room. We didn't prepare anything for you. You and Xia can eat together. Okay, that's all." After saying that, Mom hung up the phone without saying anything else.
Xiang Kun was somewhat amused and exasperated. It was true; it was already past six in the evening, and he and Lao Xia had been chatting in the car for over two hours without realizing it.
"That's roughly the situation. You should go home and eat first. You don't have to work today, right? I'll come to your house later to talk more in detail. By the way, don't reveal my affairs to anyone, and it's best not to leave too many obvious records that can be traced. You know why."
Lao Xia nodded. "I'll keep it a secret." He paused, then extended his right hand and said, "I'll help you find the cause of the mutation; you help me find a way to experience various emotions."
Xiang Kun understood her meaning, shook her hand, and smiled, "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you."
Then Xiang Kun, carrying his backpack and softcover notebook, prepared to get off the bus, but Lao Xia grabbed the notebook first. "Mine."
Xiang Kun joked, "I see you've almost filled it up, why don't you get a new one? You can give me this one."
Lao Xia shook his head, Xiang Kun had no choice but to let go.
"Where's the tablet? Okay, I guess I won't get this file box either..." Xiang Kun said, opening his backpack and taking out the tablet and file box. He knew that Lao Xia wouldn't give them to him anyway; he was just joking. In any case, he had memorized everything on them after reading them.
Unexpectedly, Lao Xia looked at the backpack and said, "Keep the bag, I need it."
"No way, I told my mom I came down to get my backpack. It's not good to go back empty-handed..." Xiang Kun said helplessly. He knew that Lao Xia was "retaliating".
"She won't mind," Lao Xia said. "I'll bring you some next time."
Xiang Kun thought about it and said, "Okay, that seems to be true."
However, just before he opened the car door to get out, Lao Xia spoke up again, "Give me a few more of your Coin."
After the car door was closed again, Xia Libing held the six Coin Xiang Kun had emptied his pocket for her in one hand and her original three Coin in the other, seemingly sensing something thoughtfully.
Although she showed little change in expression or emotion when Xiang Kun her as a so-called "vampire," she already had various guesses about Xiang Kun's situation based on the information she had observed and deduced.
But in reality, what Xiang Kun said far exceeded her expectations. Xiang Kun's various abilities also far exceeded her imagination. It was as if he directly lifted a veil from the world in front of her, refreshing her original cognitive system. Some of the content even made her feel like she was still dreaming, still the dream she hadn't finished last night.
However, feeling the nine Coin in her hands, she slowly Xiang Kun had described with her past observations, and answered all her previous questions.
Let her know that Xiang Kun is indeed a "vampire," a "mutant human," and a "superhuman," and that his ability system is extremely complex, involving multiple aspects, and is even constantly evolving.
Coupled with the "Emotional Assimilation" she had experienced before, she was very certain that Xiang Kun would find a way to help her have normal human emotions and feelings—even if Xiang Kun couldn't find one, she would help him find one.
She put the Coin back in her pocket, then picked up the softcover notebook, turned to a blank page, picked up a pen and drew a simple little figure, then marked some numbers that only she could understand, and drew an owl, a spider, and another simple little figure, then connected them with lines.
While she was writing and drawing, her phone, which was in the storage compartment next to her, vibrated. When she answered, it was her third aunt:
"Xiao Bing, where did you go? I'm at your door."
