Every day is one step closer to reality

Feng Yi chose to go out today because he had read the weather forecast.

Before going out, he thought, should he challenge himself and try to smell how many people the elevator had carried in the last hour? What secrets are hidden?

After going out, I met a middle-aged man in the elevator. He must have just come 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. This was already the result of Feng Yi's control, otherwise he would have smelled 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 responded politely when the other party greeted him. It's not good for people who live in the same building to act too unfamiliar.

The narrow elevator had limited air circulation, and there were many people taking the elevator every day. The smell was complex, and there were some smells that Feng Yi didn't want to explore so much, so he gave up.

There are so many places to explore, why choose an elevator?

After getting out of the elevator, Feng Yi headed to a nearby park.

At this time, there were not many people in the park, and the weather was not very good today, so it seemed very empty.

But for Feng Yi now, it’s just right!

Take off the mask and breathe.

It has just rained, and the pollution particles in the air have either been blown away or have settled with the rain, and the gaseous pollutants are not so obvious. For Feng Yi, who has a sensitive sense of smell, this environment is quite friendly.

The public benches had been painted recently and had a distinct smell. Feng Yi avoided them and chose a stone bench to sit on.

This stone bench should often have people sitting here. It is free of dirt and is washed away by rain, so it is very clean.

The nose captures odor molecules in the air, as well as those particles stuck in water vapor. The brain distinguishes 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 smell is more complex and the jump is large, there may be a delay, but it can be dealt with here.

Feng Yi identified the smells, including flowers, trees, soil, and a faint smell of medicine. They should have been sprayed by the people who took care of the park.

There are so many types of plants that Feng Yi can name less than 10% of them. However, he remembered most of the smells of these plants, and maybe he would gradually recognize the names in the future.

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

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

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

When the air flows into the nasal cavity, it not only brings these odor molecules and particles, but also conveys other information. The sense of smell cannot be pinpointed, but it can be perceived.

Such as the water vapor that rolls with the wind.

Another example...

Looking up at the sky, he could sense other messages that the clouds seemed to convey - when it would rain or when it would be sunny.

A group of tourists walked past him, touching their hands and laughing at something he said.

If you close your vision, you can "see" that there are other wonderful information molecules in the odor clusters around the two tourists, but Feng Yi can currently capture too few of them to accurately distinguish them.

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

Feng Yi had been "watching" the world in the park. When night fell, he got up and left.

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

You don't need your eyes to see, you can sense the passing leaves and catch them.

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

There were not many people walking on the streets on a rainy day, but the shops and shopping malls were still busy.

The smell here was more complex and difficult to distinguish, but Feng Yi still tried to identify and record it.

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

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

In the city at night, neon lights flash and various light sources intertwine, forming a gorgeous city night scene.

Feng Yi walked on the street, and through the remaining odor molecules, he "saw" the person walking his dog 10 minutes ago, the passengers waiting at the bus stop 5 minutes ago... The person waiting for the bus also ate a snack. Spicy hand pancakes.

By identifying the remaining odor molecules, Feng Yi can "see" pictures that cannot be seen with the eyes. Although these pictures are composed of individual smell groups, and cannot see their appearance or tell their age, but they can be known. things done.

Feng Yi walked home without wearing a mask, identifying various odor molecules and the stories behind them along the way. It's interesting to slowly adapt to the information impact brought by this complex odor molecule.

Today’s super-olfactory exploration√

…

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

A gust of wind blew the hood of his raincoat behind him, but he didn't care.

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

The little boy noticed the movement and suddenly looked up at Feng Yi. He quickly covered his head with one hand, as if he was 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 melted."

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

At this time, the mother who had been paying attention to the little boy in the store came out quickly, glanced at Feng Yi who was leaving, and said to the little boy worriedly: "Why are you covering your head? Take your hands away and let me see!"

The little boy took his hand away.

There was nothing unusual about his head except for a few bunches of dull hair blown up by the wind.

The parents checked it carefully and made sure there were no wounds and no pranks or anything, and felt relieved. But when I thought back to the scene I just saw, doubts arose in my mind again.

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

The child's wide-open eyes were full of doubts, and he made a quick sweeping gesture of his hand: "He did this just now, hush~"

"Then what?"

"Then...then he told me that the candy in my pocket melted...Wow! It really melted and stuck to my clothes! How did he know! Does he have X-ray eyes!"

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

"Then he's gone!"

"Have you seen him before?"

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

"Where?"

"On your phone!"

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

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

"..."

It’s a new week, tickets are available!
