Xiang Kun checked the time. It was almost one o’clock, and Zi Cheng was still gaming cross-legged, but he’d put on his headphones, clearly thinking that Xiang Kun was asleep and didn’t want to disturb him with the game sounds.

At a glance, he saw that Zi Cheng had switched from playing as a jungle character to a support role, following a jungling Arthur around the map.

Basing on what he was saying and the voices coming from his headphones, it was clear that the one playing as Arthur was Yang Jie.

They didn’t need to look at their game screen, simply by listening to their conversation, Xiang Kun could tell that their game wasn’t going smoothly.

After resting for a while, Xiang Kun closed his eyes again. This time, instead of entering the “Super Sensory State”, he sensed the “Black Circle Graffiti” torn from a notebook in QiCheng city, at Mi’s place.

This “graffiti” was a “marker” that Xiang Kun made after observing the environmental information around a certain pencil drawing that he had established an “Emotional Infusion” connection with while in the “Super Sensory State”.

This “marker” didn’t directly transform all the observed information from the “Super Sensory State”, but only a very very small part that he could “understand”, combined with the normal state and information observed in “Super Sensory State”.

For example, the feedback information from different people under different emotions, like the status of some electronic devices under different working conditions, or feedback information on different architectural space structures, and so on.

These “markers”, in a sense, were more like assembly languages that Xiang Kun summed up based on the sensory feedback he could “understand” only during “Super Sensory State”.

However, he currently could not use this language for “programming” but only for decoding and summarizing.

To others, those circles and curved lines on the paper would merely look like aimless “graffiti” or an incomprehensible “artistic creation”.

While in QiCheng city, after Xiang Kun found Mi’s whereabouts and confirmed her residence, he folded one of the “graffiti” into a uniquely shaped paper airplane and left it on the balcony of her master bedroom, making it look like someone accidentally threw it there.

According to his cognitive model, which was established through the memory fragments of Guo Tianxiang and the analysis of Mi’s various items, she had an instinctive interest in novel things with “technical content”.

So, if she discovered the paper airplane Xiang Kun folded on the balcony, there was a 90% chance she would keep it for further investigation.

Because the unique folding method of this paper airplane was “invented” by Xiang Kun. Specific weights placed at different places allowed it to fly more steadily, farther and longer, which seemed very unique at first glance.

Of course, if Mi disassembled the airplane, she would undoubtedly notice the “graffiti” on the paper.

Normal people might just think it was random doodles, but given Mi’s personality, she would likely notice the consistency within the doodled patterns and lines, prompting her to keep and perhaps even ponder upon the drawing.

At that time, the objects that had established an “Emotional Infusion” connection with Xiang Kun were only the papers filled with black circles. Single sheets of this paper were somewhat large and couldn’t be torn into smaller pieces or damaged in any other way. So, it was challenging to place them into hidden spots inside objects like the positioning paper strips. Therefore, Xiang Kun attempted this method, trying to get her to voluntarily keep the paper close to her.

Of course, this was also an experiment that Xiang Kun deliberately wanted to carry out.

He wanted to see if the cognitive model he’d established through limited information could effectively predict someone’s behavior pattern without direct contact.

Looking at it now, Mi did indeed keep the black circle graffiti close to her, even bringing it to work and the secret Research Base of Divine Technology.

This shows his deduction and prediction of Mi’s behavior was accurate.

Although Xiang Kun knew that after he completed the black circle graffiti, those papers had the same effect as “Emotion Infused” items, they truly became “Emotion Infused” items, creating a direct sensory connection with him, only after the blood-drinking mutation on the day before yesterday.

Last night, he had sensed the black circle graffiti once and indeed successfully triggered Mi’s dreamland, seeing her dream.

However, in that dreamland, Xiang Kun felt something was odd.

The dream itself was fine. It was about Mi sitting in front of a computer, cracking a system. There were four screens hanging on the wall in front of her, and power cables were scattered all over the floor, along with snack wrappers. Nearby, there were several 2-liter bottles of soda.

Her emotions were focused, devoted, yet exhausted, with a touch of doubt and confusion. It was very similar to Xiang Kun’s feelings when he was in the “Super Sensory State” paying close attention to the feedback from his surroundings.

But what Xiang Kun found strange was that throughout the entire dream, he didn’t find any emotional projection from the “Emotion Infused” items.

In the past, whenever he triggered someone’s dreamland by sensing an “Emotion Infused” item, he would always see corresponding emotional projections in the dreamland.

Emotional projections are not directly related to what his “Emotion Infused” items look like, instead they are directly related to his thoughts, feelings, and experiences while performing the “Emotion Infusion”.

No matter if it was the minions, Eight-armed, Eight-eyed Wood Carving, Rabbit Meat, Saitama Sensei, the old man teaching calligraphy, or even his own image, emotional projections were varied, but they always appeared. As soon as they appeared, Xiang Kun, who was sensing the dreamland, would definitely know about it.

However, in Mi’s dream, from start to finish, he couldn’t sense the presence of any emotional projection.

Plus, he had this feeling that he didn’t see the full picture of the dreamland.

Could it be that to see the emotional projections in the dreamland, he also needed to enter the “Super Sensory State”?

But how could he enter the “Super Sensory State” in someone else’s dream when all his knowledge and feelings are from others?

The previous sensing of Mi’s dreamland left him with many questions, that’s why after estimating that Mi had fallen asleep today, he proceeded to sense her dreams again.

Last time he was more interested in Mi’s dream itself, although the rabbit wood carving and the bone did not end up in QiCheng City, but somewhere else. But after listening to Mi’s conversation with “Mr Liang”, he knew that this female hacker, who had previously helped Guo Tianxiang “fish”, was in the secret division of “Divine Technology” and had also dealt with many confidential matters.

But now, during his second attempt to trigger Mi’s dream via sensing and entering it, Xiang Kun was more interested in exploring his own “Emotion Infusing” object.

This time, as soon as he began sensing, he triggered the dreamland again and entered Mi’s dream.
