Xiang Kun spent the entire night pondering the four objects in front of him.
He kept comparing that one-yuan Coin with other Coin, and comparing those two A4 sheets of paper with other A4 sheets of paper.
One thing is clear: if you put that Coin with the other Coin, he can find it at a glance; if you put that blank A4 sheet with the other A4 sheets and shuffle them, he can find it just as easily.
It's not based on smell or any traces on it, but rather a kind of telepathic connection that allows you to get the result instantly.
Xiang Kun looked at the four objects on the table, pondering what experimental method to use to test them. He unconsciously picked up the Coin (defined as "Coin 1") and began to play with it in his hand.
Then, subconsciously, he flicked it up with his right thumb, and it landed on the back of his left hand. Looking at the chrysanthemum pattern on it, Xiang Kun suddenly had a thought.
He flicked the Coin up with his thumb again, this time even higher, almost touching the roof.
Extending his left hand, he accurately caught the Coin as it flipped and fell, murmuring to Xiang Kun, "Words..."
The Coin on the back of my hand is indeed facing the number side.
With Xiang Kun's current dynamic visual abilities, if he keeps a close eye on Coin tumbling in the air, he might be able to tell which side is facing up when it falls.
The problem is, he had his eyes closed the whole time—including when he reached out his left hand to catch the Coin.
He opened his eyes, looked at the Coin with the "1" facing up, and flicked the back of his left hand. The Coin drew an arc in the air and landed accurately on his right thumb.
Then he flicked the Coin with his thumb again, and it tumbled through the air once more. This time, he didn't reach out to catch it, but instead...
Stretch out your leg.
The Coin landed steadily on his feet, Xiang Kun immediately declared, "Top!"
Then I looked down and saw that the side facing upwards did indeed have characters.
With a flick of his ankle, the Coin flew up, and he caught it in his right hand, holding it in his palm.
Xiang Kun looked at the seemingly ordinary one-yuan Coin and slowly nodded:
It seems that after establishing that special connection with an object, his understanding and control over that object will improve significantly.
On some levels, it's even become somewhat mystical.
Just like when that Coin fell, he didn't rely on dynamic vision to capture its trajectory, nor did he deliberately rely on his skin to perceive the touch, but the moment the Coin touched the back of his hand and the back of his foot, he knew which side it was facing.
This feeling, like his perception of the positions of tissue 1, Tissue 2, and these four objects, was something he couldn't understand where it came from or how it came about, but it definitely occurred to him.
Furthermore, Xiang Kun discovered that he could accurately determine whether the Coin landed heads up or tails up when it touched the back of his hand, regardless of whether he kept his hand still and flicked the Coin to control it, or he flicked Coin randomly and caught it with the back of his hand.
With targeted practice, given Xiang Kun's current muscle control and dynamic visual abilities, he should be able to do it using a regular Coin.
But now this Coin allows him to do things more freely and easily, without needing to make deliberate adjustments or practice frequently. It's like flipping his own palm over, doing whatever he wants.
The "Coin 1" flipped between Xiang Kun hand, circulating smoothly and effortlessly. He had never practiced this before; he had only suddenly remembered seeing it in a movie and casually tried it out.
Xiang Kun exchanged it for a regular one-yuan Coin, but it fell to the ground between his middle fingers.
Xiang Kun frowned: Flipping Coin with your fingers should mainly rely on your finger coordination. Logically speaking, if you can flip the "Coin 1", you should be able to flip other one-yuan Coin of the same shape as well.
He picked up the Coin again and tried to flip it using the same technique he used when flipping "Coin 1". Sure enough, he gradually found the rhythm and was able to flip the Coin between his fingers.
However, it's clear that compared to flipping "Coin 1", the other Coin are still a bit clumsy when performing the same action.
"What could be the reason...?"
Xiang Kun flicked the "Coin 1" from his left hand to his right hand, and then from his right hand to his left hand, feeling the connection between himself and the Coin, and pondering how the feeling was different from that of the other Coin.
He suddenly stopped and flicked the Coin with a "clang," sending Coin flying over his bald head and landing behind him.
In his mind, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, he could feel the trajectory of the Coin as it fell and tumbled in the air.
When the Coin fell above his waist, he calmly hooked his right foot, allowing the Coin to land steadily on his heel.
Without even looking, Xiang Kun knew that the Coin was currently facing upwards.
He flicked his right foot backward, and the Coin returned to his hand.
He glanced at the kitchen and saw an empty glass on the spice rack. He then picked up Coin and tossed it into the glass with a casual and elegant motion.
He is now standing in the living room. From this angle, for the Coin to pass just through the kitchen door without hitting the door frame or the edge of the door and land in the cup, the path it can "fly" along is very narrow, and the arc cannot be too high.
As soon as he made his move, Xiang Kun frowned.
Sure enough, the Coin 1 struck the rim of the cup, leaving a crack, and bounced to the ground.
That shouldn't be the case...
In terms of difficulty, the actions he just performed were almost as difficult as tossing Coin into a cup from this angle and distance.
But the other movements were so easy to do...
Instead of immediately picking up "Coin 1", Xiang Kun picked up a few more ordinary one-yuan Coin and threw them one by one into the cup from the same spot.
On the fifth Coin, it finally went into the cup.
As it turns out, although it was difficult, he could still manage to drop the Coin into the cup from this position and angle.
Logically, once the connection is established, "Coin 1" should be much easier and simpler to make.
Does the influence I have over objects I've established a connection with disappear or weaken once they leave my vicinity?
Xiang Kun picked up the "Coin 1" and tossed it again from the same spot.
This time, the "Coin 1" landed perfectly in the cup.
Xiang Kun, reflecting on his previous experiences tossing other ordinary Coin, nodded thoughtfully.
He sensed that his special influence on "Coin 1" was indeed lost after it left his body for a certain distance.
However, he could still adjust its flight speed and trajectory at the moment of release to control its landing point, making it more accurate than when tossing other ordinary Coin. It's just that he had become too used to the effortless control he had over "Coin 1" the first time he tossed it, and his release was too casual.
If one concentrates, the trajectory of "Coin 1" can appear in one's mind the instant before the coin is thrown. If nothing unexpected happens, such as a sudden gust of wind or a cat jumping out and snatching the Coin, the Coin will most likely follow the trajectory that appears in one's mind.
Whether he can make the shot or not, he can actually determine before he even releases the ball.
If you miss, you can give up throwing and continue adjusting the force of your throw.
If, according to my previous "bold hypothesis" and "fantasy speculation," the reason I established contact with these objects was that certain particles emitted by them were "captured" by the "X" within my body that caused the mutation, and then, after the mutation, transformed into some kind of information that I could "feel," "observe," or "read," thereby being able to locate the objects, then...
Does the fact that I can now so skillfully "control" this "Coin 1" mean that the particles remaining within my body can not only provide feedback on the position of the objects I'm connected to, but also exert a certain influence on those objects in return?
Although these are all Xiang Kun's "conjectures," at least for now, there is no fact to prove that his "conjectures" are wrong.
Xiang Kun's gaze fell back on the two A4 sheets of paper on the table. He picked up "A4 Paper 1" with both hands, released it from his chest, then suddenly squatted down, his eyes following the A4 paper as it fell. He placed his hands on either side of the A4 paper, glared angrily, and shouted:
"Rise!--"
The "A4 Paper 1" landed on the ground without any delay.
Xiang Kun sighed, picked up the paper, and put it back on the table.
It seems that the idea of influencing objects remotely with one's thoughts remains just wishful thinking.
Fortunately, no one saw how stupid I just did...
Xiang Kun picked up the "A4 Paper 1" and folded it into a paper airplane.
He held the paper airplane tightly, focused his attention, and flicked his wrist as if to throw it.
He discovered that, just like when he tossed "Coin 1", the trajectory of the paper airplane after it left his hand appeared in his mind the moment he was about to release it.
If he wants the paper airplane to fly in a certain way, his fingers and wrists will immediately adjust the force and angle, and he may even come up with a few ideas to adjust the shape of the paper airplane to fit the flight path he wants.
Xiang Kun squinted at the four items he had placed back on the table: Coin, two sheets of A4 paper, and a Ballpoint Pen Tip Ball.
For a fleeting moment, he felt as if those four objects had become a part of his body.
But when he tried to trace the feeling closely, it vanished instantly, as if it were just a hallucination.
Xiang Kun couldn't help but wonder, if he could establish contact with something more complex, like... a car, an airplane, a complex machine, or something else?
If the overall structure cannot be connected, then disassemble the car, establish connections part by part, and then reassemble it?
What will happen then?
Will he become one with the car, or will he only be able to perceive its movement?
Xiang Kun's thoughts began to wander and drift...
Before we knew it, it was already dawn.
For Xiang Kun, who doesn't need to sleep, eat, or even go to the toilet when he's not drinking blood, time passes almost imperceptibly when he's engrossed in something.
Therefore, he did not notice the noise from 706 immediately.
When he noticed the noise coming from 706, his first thought was, "Has Shiling's Mother actually been arguing with other neighbors?"
Then he focused his attention on his hearing, listening carefully to the sounds coming from 706.
The door to room 706 was wide open, and a group of people were inside Liu Shiling's house. Several women were scolding Shiling's Mother in somewhat shrill voices.
Xiang Kun frowned, his first reaction was to go and help. After all, since moving here, Shiling's Mother and the Little Chubby Girl Liu Shiling were the only neighbors he was familiar with. He had just arrived and received a "gift" from the Little Chubby Girl, and then Shiling's Mother brought him pastries.
Xiang Kun's philosophy has always been: if someone treats me with respect, I will treat them with even greater respect.
But when he reached the door, he stopped in his tracks, his hand gripping the doorknob, unsure whether to open it or not, because he suddenly gleaned some information from those sharp, piercing sounds.
