It was Gion who spoke; she squeezed into the seat next to Vic, pushing Ain, who had been sitting there, to Wendy's side.
Although Ain was very unhappy, what could she do? She was just a child and couldn't win against an adult!
Seeing Vic's attitude towards her, Gion seemed to be at odds with Vic. Every time Vic spoke, she would chime in with her own words. Rebecca actually hated other women getting close to Vic, but she could tolerate Gion getting close to Vic a little.
"Do you really want to try? Actually, you already tried it. I helped you recover some of your injuries and emotional distress. I guess that's part of the 'divine skill'!"
Vic turned to look at Gion, a mysterious smile on his face.
"Give it a try! What's the big deal? Do you think I'm scared?"
Upon seeing Vic's smile, Gion instinctively wanted to refuse, but considering that she was already at odds with Vic, she couldn't back down even if she had to grit her teeth. How could she prove she was still angry if she backed down?
"Really? Well, here I come!"
After Vic finished speaking, he reached his left hand over Gion's head and gently grasped her scalp with his fingers spread.
The conversation between the two attracted the attention of others, who also wanted to see Vic's "superpower." The noise at the table quieted down considerably, and although they didn't stop eating, their eyes were all focused on Vic's hand.
There was nothing unusual about Vic's hands, but Gion's cheeks turned rosy with her eyes tightly closed, and her knuckles turned white as she gripped the armrests of the chair.
He squeezed his legs tightly together under the table, as if afraid something might escape from them, and his body trembled slightly involuntarily, looking somewhat pained.
However Gion clenched her teeth and kept her lips tightly closed, not letting a single sound escape from them. Whether it was out of a competitive spirit or because she was afraid to open her mouth and make a sound, Gion did not call for a stop, which made Rebecca on the other side very worried.
Gion held on for two minutes, but finally succumbed to the overwhelming force of the attack. She stood up desperately and shook off Vic's hand!
With some difficulty, Gion pushed back the chair behind her and staggered out of the restaurant, leaving behind only a weak, trembling voice. "I... I'm going to the restroom!"
Everyone present was somewhat bewildered, staring blankly at the restaurant entrance, where Gion. They didn't know why Gion had suddenly reacted so strongly, and their attention was all focused on Gion.
Only Vic noticed the few glistening drops of liquid left on the floor where Gion had walked, extending all the way to the restaurant entrance. This made him feel a little embarrassed, realizing that his joke had gone too far, especially this kind. He didn't know how he would face Gion in the future; it was too awkward!
" Vic! What happened to Gion- neechan? What did you do to her?"
Although Rebecca didn't know what Gion, she had a feeling that things weren't that simple. She felt like there was a faint green light coming from the top of her head, but she didn't know exactly what was happening. She couldn't possibly know what other people were feeling inside their bodies, but her female intuition still played a part.
"It's nothing! I just helped Gion release some pent-up emotions and let her relax. She'll probably be back after a shower. Let's continue eating!"
Vic forced himself to remain calm, saying that he already felt very guilty and blamed himself for having a brain fart, doing such a thing in public was too perverted.
Vic's so-called "divine power" is actually the ability of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. However, compared to the tens or hundreds of millions of volts of lightning, the direction he developed this time is another extreme, namely bioelectricity, which is the flow of electrical signals within a living organism. It is very weak, but has a huge impact on the organism.
The vast majority of neural activity in our animal bodies is transmitted via electrical signals. For example, when we touch a burning flame, the animal's skin can feel a significant increase in temperature as we get closer.
This information is then transmitted as an electrical signal within neurons, eventually reaching the brain. A decision is then made in the corresponding area of the brain, where the temperature is too high and exceeds the skin's tolerance.
Without conscious intervention, the brain will make the decision to retract the limb on its own. This decision will also be converted into an electrical signal that reaches the nerves and muscles where the limb is located, causing the limb to move away from the fire source. This can be considered an instinctive reaction.
If the animal's consciousness actively participates in the process, wanting to get something from the fire, such as retrieving chestnuts from the fire, then it is the animal's consciousness that controls the brain to make the decision to continue extending its limbs.
At this point, the brain releases additional electrical signals to keep the limbs moving forward. Even if a burning pain is transmitted back, under stronger conscious control, the limbs will still be put into the fire. This is active control.
Whether it's an instinctive reaction or active control, electrical signals act as messengers in the animal's body.
Many bodily reactions are spontaneous and cannot be actively controlled.
Take humans, for example. We can only control a few things, like our limbs and senses. But there are so many organs inside our bodies that we can't actively control, and even more so, we can't control the cells throughout our bodies.
The operation of these organs and countless cells is extremely precise, and it is impossible for humans to control them actively. It is estimated that the human body would collapse and die due to internal chaos in less than three seconds!
Human conscious control is incapable of processing the complex internal mechanisms of the human body, which are so vast that even quantum computers cannot handle them. These mechanisms can only function normally and live normally when the human brain and instinctive reactions are combined. Moreover, the brain operates autonomously at this time and is not under the control of subjective consciousness, or rather, it cannot be controlled even if one wanted to.
All this is to illustrate the indispensable role of electrical signals in an animal's body. Whether determined by conscious will or by the brain, electrical signals are needed to transmit commands so that the animal's terminals can make various responses or movements.
If these electrical signals could be artificially controlled, wouldn't it be possible to make a person who has already eaten continue to feel hunger, an intense, suicidal hunger, until they eat until they die?
If you directly send the brain a signal that the heart has suffered a fatal injury and there is absolutely no chance of survival, wouldn't the brain essentially sentence the body to death?
Or perhaps there's an injury somewhere in the body, sending a strong signal to the brain that makes the cells in that injured area work harder to repair the damage?
Of course, these are just a glimpse into the functions of electrical signals. Once we understand and master the electrical signals within living organisms, we can not only achieve the effects of treating diseases and injuries, but also kill people invisibly. There are many more applications that are truly mind-blowing.
