Before coming here, Angel thought that the "spiritual monster" was the manifestation of certain evil thoughts in people's hearts.
That's why it's called a "monster".
But when I came here and put on the "Vigilant Eyes", I discovered that the spiritual monster is not actually an evil grotesque, but a reflection of the soul.
It's just that this "portrait" is presented in a monster-like way.
To a certain extent, the "mind monster" can be regarded as "mind reading" and can reflect other people's attitudes towards you.
Moreover, this kind of "mind-reading" is not the kind of psychological profiling that relies on facial expression analysis and quick reading of expressions, but the kind of "mind-reading" ability similar to that of a dog butler.
Unconsciously, forced to open.
As long as the other person looks at you, there will definitely be a psychic monster. And the appearance of the psychic monster cannot be changed or detected by itself; the perception of the psychic monster is direct and clear, and it is impossible to lie.
Therefore, it is similar to the "mind reading" of the canine butler.
But it's only an approximation.
In terms of effectiveness, it is still far from the "mind reading" of Butler Canine.
The Dog Butler can directly read the mind, and no matter what you think, it is difficult to escape its eyes; while the "Alert Eye" can only vaguely feedback some of its owner's thoughts through the mind monster's attitude towards you.
For example, the young man from the Yingji tribe had clearly heard of Angel in the Heart Fire House, and he was very surprised in his heart. But there was no emotion on his face, and only the monster in the mind truthfully showed the agitation in his heart.
Also, it is impossible to guess the thoughts of that pointed woman with a wild appearance just by looking at her appearance. Even the tauren psychic monster who sees her may not be able to guess her thoughts immediately.
It still requires a certain amount of analysis to know that this sharp-looking man who looks so cool actually regards himself as a machine for giving birth to children.
It can be seen from these details that the "vigilant eye" is still far away from the "mind reading" of the canine butler.
However, if it is just used to judge whether someone is kind or malicious towards you, vigilant eyes are enough.
Moreover, Angel could immediately think of many application scenarios for "Vigilant Eyes".
For example, looking for spies, looking for evil friends around you... a vigilant eye can accomplish meritorious deeds.
However, there are some problems here. Vigilant eyes can only detect that other people hate you in their hearts, but there is no way to determine whether they have actually done anything to you.
In other words, a vigilant eye may make you focus on the heart rather than the symptoms.
However, this is actually not a big problem, and in the extraordinary world: talking about the heart can make you alert in advance; talking about the deeds, it is very likely that you have already encountered persecution without even the premise of alertness.
Perhaps this is why its abbreviation is called "Vigilant Eye".
…
On the other side, Zero 04 also discovered that Angel no longer looked at the people around him.
Come to think of it, his test of the "Vigilant Eye" has ended.
Seeing Angel looking up, Zero Zero Four smiled and said, "What do the guests think after trying the "Alert Eyes"?"
Thoughts? Angel thought for a moment and expressed his guess about the vigilant eyes.
"Looking for spies? Looking for evil friends?" Zero Zero Four smiled: "This is indeed a situation that "Vigilant Eye" often encounters after it starts renting."
"However, in the application list of "Vigilant Eye" recorded here, finding evil friends is ranked in the top ten; finding spies is not even in the top ten."
Angel was stunned for a moment, and there is still a list?
Zero Zero Four: "This is considered a social issue raised by the owner of "Vigilant Eye". I want to see in what scenarios "Vigilant Eye" can be used to maximize efficiency."
Angel seemed to understand: "Then the number one ranking in this application list is...?"
Zero Zero Four: "Alert attack and kill."
Many times, an acquaintance's ill will towards you is based on a lot of information, and its core is complex and multi-layered. It is difficult for you to judge the source of this acquaintance's malice.
On the contrary, the malice of strangers is easily detected.
For example, if you inexplicably receive malicious messages from a psychic monster on the road, it is very likely that the owner of the psychic monster has some bad thoughts towards you.
Therefore, vigilance may have to be attacked and killed. On the contrary, after the rental of "Vigilant Eye" began, the application scenario ranked first.
After Zero Zero Four mentioned the number one application list, he also mentioned the number two and number three.
Number two is: pure curiosity.
Yes, just curious. Not looking for bad friends.
When you have the idea of "searching", it actually means that you have doubts about the friends around you.
But in most cases, borrowing "vigilant eyes" due to suspicion of friends is far inferior to "curiosity". Many people rent "vigilant eyes" simply to be curious about the attitudes of the people around them, rather than to find out.
Evil friend.
Ranked third is looking for bad friends around you, and catching someone raping.
After listening to Zero 04's explanation, Angel also gained a new understanding of the effect of "Alert Eyes".
"Vigilant Eye" is not a strategic item, but in terms of personal characteristics, it is still quite outstanding.
Moreover, its application scenarios are very wide, and it can be switched between large scenes and small scenes at will.
It's nothing more than that the owner only rents it and doesn't sell it.
…
After talking about the effect of "Vigilant Eyes", Angel actually still had some questions in his heart.
For example, Angel had a lot to know about the appearance of the psychic monster.
Why does the psychic monster take on such a shape? Is it because it reflects the inner desires of its owner? Does the appearance of the psychic monster differ in the eyes of different people?
Angel asked his question directly.
Zero Zero Four thought for a while and said: "Let me answer your second question first. The spiritual monster looks the same in the eyes of different people."
"For example, my mental monster is a black coal ball. Right?"
"..." Angel hesitated for a moment, then nodded: It's true to say briquettes, but these briquettes have hair.
Zero Zero Four: "Although I have never seen my own mental monster. Because wearing the "Alert Eyes" can only see other people's mental monsters, not my own."
"But from other people's mouths, I know that the monster in my mind looks like a briquette."
"So, everyone's inner monster is actually fixed. Whoever wears this "vigilant eye" will see that my inner monster is the same."
Zero Zero Four paused for a few seconds and continued: "As for your first question, whether the appearance of the psychic monster is related to the owner's inner desires... I don't know that either."
"Four Zero Eight should have told you that the owner of the "Vigilant Eye" is a scholar from Jingshan College. This scholar has done relevant research. To some extent, psychic monsters do reflect the psychology of some people.
Desire, for example, 408."
"The spiritual monster of 408 is a flying fish that carries the 'stage drama'. And this is actually closely related to 408's inner desires."
Zero Zero Four didn't say why it was related, but Angel could guess it.
Because that stage play was actually different "characters" performing on stage, which were connected to 408's character cards. It was completely consistent with her inner desires.
"However, there are also a small number of people whose mental monsters have nothing to do with their hearts and desires."
"Just like my inner monster."
Zero Zero Four looked at Angel, spread out his hands and shrugged, "Do you think my desire can be reflected in this dark briquette?"
Following Zero Zero Four's words, Angel subconsciously looked at the black hair ball on his shoulder.
The hair ball blinked its cute big eyes, clear and innocent.
Angel said silently: "That seems to be correct."
Zero Zero Four: "So, you can't just use desire to connect with the psychic monster. As for where the shape of the psychic monster comes from and what impact it will have, even the owner of the "Vigilant Eye" doesn't know."
Angel nodded thoughtfully.
After a few seconds of silence, Angel added, "I have another question."
Zero Zero Four: "Please tell me."
"Can psychic monsters be touched?" When Angel asked this question, he glanced at Xi Luo next to him.
Xiluo's plaice had touched Angel. Although there was no real feeling of touch, his mind and consciousness felt as if he had really touched the smooth and cold skin.
This made Angel very curious, can the spiritual monster really be touched?
If it can be touched, is it possible to do anything further with the psychic monster?
...it's not something weird.
Instead, kill the mind monster.
Can this be done?
If the psychic monster is really killed, will it have any effect on its owner?
Angel's inner thoughts were constantly diverging... Mainly, most of the psychic monsters present were very strange and disgusting in shape, as if they were monsters from the bottom of the abyss.
This made Angel unconsciously think of...killing.
"Touch?" Zero Zero Four looked at Angel strangely: "Did a psychic monster touch you just now?"
Angel: "I'm just curious."
Zero Zero Four: "You can touch it, but there is no real feeling of touch. It just feels like you are touching something in your mind, but it is all false. You can understand it as an illusory touch created by the subconscious mind.
"
Fake? Angel always felt that this answer was a bit too hasty, but since Zero 04 said so, there should be a reason.
Angel thought for a while and asked further: "Can psychic monsters contact each other?"
Zero Zero Four was stunned: "Your idea is quite strange."
Angel smiled dryly: "I just feel that if these weird monsters are in the same space and don't fight, it always feels like something is missing."
Zero Zero Four touched his chin and thought for a while: "It seems to make sense. The psychic monsters all look very strange, just like real monsters. It is really rare for monsters to coexist peacefully."
"However, whether the psychic monster can be contacted is probably not feasible."
"Because the perspective of looking at things is different."
Psychic monsters exist because of "observation", and this observer is the wearer of the "Eye of Vigilance".
If multiple people look at the observer at the same time, the observer can see several psychic monsters on the same screen at the same time. But this is only the observer's perspective. If viewed from the perspective of the psychic monster, it is actually one-on-one with the observer.
.
It can be understood that each psychic monster is in its own dimension. Its dimension is only the observer, no other people, and no other psychic monsters.
"The owner of "Eye of Alertness" once did such an experiment. There were two people. Their mental monsters were huge, like giant mountains. When they stood in the same row and looked at "Eye of Alertness" at the same time,
When the wearer wears "Eye", the two huge monsters appear to overlap and are not affected by each other. It is as if they are not in the same space."
"Although this experiment is not particularly rigorous, it is basically certain that psychic monsters cannot touch each other."
Angel: "Then will there be what you just said, a feeling similar to 'spiritual contact' between them?"
Zero Zero Four gave Angel a strange look: "No one can know this question. After all, psychic monsters are not living beings and cannot communicate..."
"Isn't it life...?" Angel looked at the black hair ball on Zero Zero Four's shoulder. Its eyes were so smart, as if it were real life.
"I personally think that psychic monsters are definitely not life." Zero Zero Four shrugged: "However, the owner of "Alert Eye" believes that psychic monsters have many secrets. They may be some kind of projection, or even a projection.
A new life form..."
"However, he doesn't think that the psychic monster is life. He thinks that the psychic monster is an organ, or similar to a microorganism, which needs to be attached to a living body to exist."
Using an inappropriate metaphor, he compared the mind monster to the various cells that make up the body, and perhaps even to the flora that cling to the intestines.
He believes that the psychic monster cannot exist alone. It is a parasite of a living body. Everything about it comes from the living body, that is, its owner.
It is a special projection of its owner.
Angel is skeptical about this speculation. However, his suspicion does not have any position, simply because the "guessing" itself requires suspicion.
But he also believed that since the owner of the "Vigilant Eye" would say this, it must be reasonable. Maybe they have already studied this micro level.
Angel didn't want to delve into it. Anyway, as long as he knew that there was such a phenomenon as "psychic monsters", that would be enough.
Rather than pursuing these unanswerable questions, Angel now wants to know the answer to another question.
That is——
What is Angel's own psychic monster?
In fact, Angel had this doubt when Zero Zero Four said before that the vigilant eye could not see his own spiritual monster.
