One step closer to reality every day

Chapter 25 Olfaction Exploration
Feng Yi chose to go out today because he had read the weather forecast.

Before going out, he thought, do you want to challenge it and try to smell how many people the elevator has carried in the last hour?What secrets are there?

After going out, I met a middle-aged man in the elevator. I guess he just came out of the kitchen and cooked fried food. The smell of grease and spices penetrated his nose through the mask, making him want to sneeze ten or eight times.This is already the result of Feng Yi's control, otherwise he could smell more.

Holding his breath, Feng Yi gave up the idea of ​​exploring the "secret in the elevator". He didn't show anything on his face, and he politely responded when the other party greeted him.Living in the same building, it's not good to be too rusty.

The elevator is narrow, the air circulation is limited, there are many people taking the elevator every day, the smell is complicated, and there are some smells that Feng Yi does not want to explore so much, so I gave up.

With so many places to explore, why choose an elevator?
After getting out of the elevator, Feng Yi went to a nearby park.

At this time, there are not many people in the park, and the weather is not very good today, so it seems very empty.

But for the current Feng Yi, it is just right!

Take off your mask and breathe.

Just after it rained, the pollutant particles in the air were either blown away or settled with the rain, and the gaseous pollutants were not so obvious. For Feng Yi, who has a sensitive sense of smell, such an environment is quite friendly.

The public bench has been painted recently, and there is still a distinct smell. Feng Yi avoided it and chose a stone bench to sit down.

This stone bench should always be sitting here, there is no old dirt, plus the rain wash, it is very clean.

The nose captures odor molecules in the air, as well as those particles that stick to the water vapor.The brain identifies the source of these odors.

After a week of retreat practice, the brain's ability to distinguish these odor molecules has been greatly enhanced. When the odor is more complex and jumping, there may be a delay, but it can still be dealt with here.

Feng Yi can distinguish these smells, flowers, soil, and a faint smell of medicine, which should be sprayed by the people who take care of the park.

There are so many species of plants that Feng Yi can name less than [-]% of them.However, he remembered most of the smells of these plants, and maybe he will slowly match the names in the future.

If the vision is closed, what kind of world can he "see"?

Tourists, flowers and trees, birds, and benches all have their own scents.

The smell wraps around these people or things, forming air masses that are similar in shape to the body. People are human-shaped, and trees are tree-shaped.These odorants change shape depending on the direction and magnitude of the wind.

The air flowing into the nasal cavity brings not only these odor molecules and particles, but also other information.Smell can't pinpoint, but it can perceive.

Such as those water vapors that roll over with the wind.

Another example...

Looking up at the sky, the clouds seemed to convey other information - when it was raining, when it was sunny, he could perceive these.

Some tourists walked past him in tandem, stroking their palms and laughing for some unknown reason.

If you close your vision, you can "see" some other wonderful information molecules in the odor clusters around the two tourists, but the information molecules that Feng Yi can capture now are too few to be accurately distinguished.

However, he speculates that those wonderful information molecules may be emitted when people are emotionally excited.Different emotions release different information molecules.

Feng Yi has been "seeing" the world in the park, and when night falls, he gets up and leaves.

A gust of wind blew, Feng Yi raised his hand, clamped a fallen leaf behind his head, and threw it into the trash can next to him.

No need to see, to sense a passing leaf and grab it.

After leaving the park, Feng Yi did not go home immediately, but walked on the streets of the city.

There are not many people walking on the street on rainy days, but the shops and shopping malls are still lively.

The smell here is more complicated, and it is a little difficult to distinguish, but Feng Yi still tries to identify and record it.

He also observes the information released by passers-by with different psychological emotions, but his perception of these is still vague.Perhaps, as evolution continues and his senses are upgraded in the future, his perception will continue to improve. At that time, he can more accurately perceive these information molecules released by emotions and see the "reality" of the world.

For example, under the guise, anxiety, restlessness, joy, indifference... those real psychological reactions.Expressions can be camouflaged, but emotional information molecules cannot.

In the city at night, neon lights flicker, and various light sources are intertwined, forming a gorgeous city night scene.

Feng Yi walked on the street, and through the residual odor molecules, he "seeed" the person who was walking with the dog 10 minutes ago, the passenger who was waiting for the bus at the bus stop 5 minutes ago... The one who was waiting for the bus also ate a plus. Spicy finger pancakes.

By identifying the residual odor molecules, Feng Yi can "see" pictures that the eyes cannot see. Although these pictures are composed of odor groups, they can't see their appearance or distinguish their age, but they can know them. things done.

Feng Yi walked in the direction of home, without wearing a mask, distinguishing various odor molecules and the stories behind them along the way.It's a little interesting to slowly get used to the information onslaught of this complex odor molecule.

Today's super olfactory exploration √
……

At the door of the deli, a boy of about five years old, wearing a dinosaur raincoat, looked at the large French windows outside the store as a mirror.

A gust of wind blew the hat of his raincoat behind his back, and he didn't care.

When Feng Yi passed by him, he raised his hand and swept over his head, catching a large drop of rainwater falling from above the child.

The little boy suddenly raised his head to look at Feng Yi when he noticed the movement, and quickly covered the top of his head with one hand, as if guessing what Feng Yi had taken from his head.

Feng Yi stopped three meters away from him, turned around and said with a smile, "The candy in my pocket has melted away."

The little boy quickly covered his pocket with his other hand through the raincoat.

At this time, the shop has been paying attention to the little boy's mother who came out quickly, looked at Feng Yi who was leaving, and said to the little boy worriedly: "What are you doing with your head? Take my hand away and see!"

The little boy took his hand away.

Except for a few clumps of dull hair blown up by the wind, there was nothing unusual on his head.

The parents checked carefully to make sure that there were no wounds, no pranks or anything, and they were relieved.But when I think about the scene I just saw, doubts arise again in my heart.

The parent asked, "What did that uncle... brother do?" He didn't see his appearance clearly, but he should be relatively young.

The child's wide eyes were full of doubts, and he made a quick gesture of waving and sweeping: "He was like this just now, hush~."

"and then?"

"Then...then told me that the candy in my pocket melted...wow! It really melted and stuck to the clothes! How does he know! Does he have see-through eyes!"

"How many times have I told you that this candy melts easily! Don't hide it in your pocket... Okay, I'll talk about it later. And then? What else did he say?"

"And then he's gone!"

"Have you seen him before?"

"I've seen it!" The little boy seemed to remember something and jumped with excitement.

"where is it?"

"In your phone!"

"Nonsense! I don't have it in my phone!!"

"You have! You said last time that this snake spirit is so beautiful!"

"..."

　It's a new week, and there are tickets out!
