Chapter 179: Chapter 179: “Programming”

Seeing Officer Chen’s message, Xiang Kun was naturally bewildered.

But soon Officer Chen sent another message: “Haha, just kidding.”

Officer Chen: “However, it’s really a coincidence, we are currently working on the case. We’ve received numerous public reports about that consulting company and have been monitoring it for a while, because it may involve an organized crime gang, so we have been collecting evidence.”

Officer Chen: “However, this morning, an unexpected situation occurred and there was a significant breakthrough in the case. I won’t tell you the specifics, but those who should be arrested are almost all caught now. Soon you should be able to see the news report.”

After ending his idle chat with Officer Chen, Xiang Kun started to guess what the “unexpected situation” was.

According to the information he got from chatting with Tang Baona just now, the impactful “heavy-flavored” dream he sensed last night, should belong to the key person in the consulting company.

‘Dreaming that dream last night and waking up to “significant progress” in the case this morning,’ Xiang Kun had reason to believe that this significant progress was related to the impact on the key person.

After all, that dream… was indeed too impactful, coupled with the bizarre feeling brought by the eight-armed, eight-eyed monster, it’s very possible that the key person might have more associations after waking up.

When Xiang Kun had searched online before, he had also seen the photos of the key person and knew that they were already over 70 years old.

The things that people of this age consider and fear may not only be death, right?

Didn’t he run to the police to confess first thing in the morning after having that dream?

It shouldn’t be that exaggerated, there’s probably not entirely due to the dream effect. Maybe he was already having conflicts with his partners, or he noticed that the police were watching him?

Xiang Kun didn’t think too much, he grabbed his keys and phone, went out to buy groceries, preparing the menu for his dinner with Tang Baona and Yang Zhen Er tonight.

In the supermarket, Xiang Kun was pushing a shopping cart and buying ingredients while thinking about how to use the “Emotion Infusion” to create special associated items.

From the process of making the eight-armed, eight-eyed wooden carving and the two calligraphy pieces, as well as subsequent functionality, “Emotion Infusion” creates special associations for the items. It should be a variation of the “Emotional Assimilation” ability and can be simply understood as the effect of “Emotional Assimilation” on the item.

Xiang Kun now believes that even though he doesn’t know if it’s oriented by his own training or the root quality of the vampire mutation, after a series of mutations, his consciousness seems to be able to “program” surrounding things to a certain extent.

As for humans or other creatures, they possess consciousness, have memories, emotions, thoughts, etc, which can be understood as having an “operating system,” having various functional “applications,” and possessing a lot of

“data.”

So whether it’s Xiang Kun using “Mental Deterrence”, “Emotional Assimilation”, or “Co-manifestation”, he can exert real-time influence, establish connections with what should’ve been offline standalone systems, giving them certain instructions, and obtaining some data feedback.

And for non-living objects, such as tissues, coins, boxwood, etc, he needs to first format them with consciousness, then program the functions he wants on it.

So, when exerting influence on non-living objects, whether it’s “Super Sensory Contact” or “Emotional Infusion”, it’s much slower than impacting a living creature, and it all needs to go through a Blood-drinking Period to “take effect.”

Perhaps after the Blood-Drinking Period, the backend application in his brain corresponding to controlling and receiving the “programmed” functions on those objects are “compiled” and can “run.”

These “programs” and “functions” basically won’t have any intuitively visible impact on the external structure of the object, either only communicating and passing data at the consciousness level with Xiang Kun, or linking with others’ consciousness.

“Super Sensory Contact” and “Emotional Infusion” cannot coexist on the same object, perhaps because their formats are incompatible and they require different operating environments.

Of course, these are just assumptions made by Xiang Kun in order to facilitate his thinking and comprehension.

According to this assumption, what Xiang Kun wants to do now is to figure out how his “programming” functionality on items through “Emotion Infusion” is achieved, whether there is a way to “reverse compile”, understand the application method, and then improve it.

There are two issues to solve at present:

Does the object of “Emotion Infusion” have the ability to emotionally assimilate or influence a sober person? If it does, what’s the reason it didn’t exert influence before, and how to solve it?

How to extract the emotions obtained from the “Emotion Infusion” object and utilize them?
