What It’s Like Being a Vampire

The camera Lao Xia bought to record Xiang Kun while he drank blood and fell asleep was left at his house, so after eating the noodles, Xia Libing turned on the front camera of his laptop and prepared to use the computer to record himself while watching the video. expression.

However, after adjusting the position, Xia Libing felt that the front-facing laptop camera alone could not fully capture the expression, and it was not three-dimensional and comprehensive enough.

So she brought in cardboard boxes and a few thick books, found a good shooting angle, and held up her phone. After clicking to start shooting, she sat back in front of the computer and watched the video with Xiang Kun.

After continuing to play the video, Xiang Kun's attention was always on Lao Xia at first, but funny things are like this, even if you are not paying attention, as long as you know what it is talking about, as long as it makes you laugh, Then you can still be amused and get into the mood quickly.

This time, the "emotional assimilation" time was much longer than last time, and I didn't stop until I finished watching the entire favorites automatic playlist.

After getting out of her emotions, Xia Libing rubbed her cheeks and wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead, but this time she didn't shed any more tears.

When Xia Libing checked the recorded video, Xiang Kun also mentally compared the various sensory information of Lao Xia's body during the two "emotional assimilation" sessions.

Although he won't pay attention to Lao Xia's state when he enters "emotional assimilation", it has become his sensory instinct and brain instinct to constantly collect sensory information around him. Xia Libing has been sitting next to him. , it is impossible to ignore various sensory information.

Whether it was from breathing rhythm, heart rate, odor secretion, or other physiological information feedback, Xiang Kun came to the same conclusion - Xia Libing's body's reaction pattern was basically the same after being affected by his "emotional assimilation" twice before and after. , but the degree of reaction was obviously different, the first time was much stronger.

Logically speaking, this is unreasonable, because during "emotional assimilation", the affected target is directly assimilated by Xiang Kun's emotions, which is equivalent to directly copying his emotional pattern, so the intensity of the emotion should be directly linked to his emotion. .

But when I watched the video twice, his emotions were basically the same, right?

In other words, in Lao Xia's emotional feedback after being "emotionally assimilated" by him for the first time today, the intense part beyond the second "emotional assimilation" should be her own emotions?

Perhaps it was because he felt the happy emotions of "too funny" and "too funny" for the first time that his body had an instinctive physiological reaction, similar to the same type of feedback when he is moved or excited, but Lao Xia himself There is no way to realize this.

Xiang Kun told Lao Xia his suspicion.

Lao Xia, who was checking his notebook and recording videos on his mobile phone, tilted his head and thought for a few seconds without making any comment.

It was obvious that she wasn't quite sure yet as to the reason for her reaction.

Xiang Kun leaned next to Lao Xia and looked at his silly smile and the funny laughter that appeared from time to time in the replayed video. He couldn't help but want to cover his face.

But in comparison, Lao Xia's performance in the video made him care more. The grin was quite consistent with his frequency. Of course, it was much cuter than he looked.

But cuteness is not the point, but the beauty in the video who laughs loudly, leans back and forth according to his rhythm, and laughs in various ways. The rather rough ponytail beauty makes him feel a little strange inexplicably, unlike the Lao Xia he knows.

He looked back at the "True Old Xia" next to him with a cold expression, slightly raised corners of his mouth, a faint smile, and slightly narrowed eyes. Only then did he feel more at ease in his heart - this was the Lao Xia he was used to.

That old Xia in the video... seemed so normal that he didn't even dare to recognize him.

However, he also knew that this was because there was a big difference between the too "vivid" and "natural" Lao Xia and the cognitive model he had established about Lao Xia, so he had that illusion.

In the future, if Lao Xia slowly finds this ability to perceive emotions and expresses his emotions more and more normally, Xiang Kun feels that he should soon be able to update his cognitive model of Lao Xia and accept such " New and old summer".

As for now... Xiang Kun found that not only him, but also Lao Xia, who was watching the video, seemed to feel a little weird.

Xia Libing kept using the "←" key to back up, repeatedly watching some videos of her "giggling", and even zoomed in on the screen, carefully observed her expression through slow playback, and then imitated it while watching...

Yes, Lao Xia is imitating her own expression in the video and learning how to laugh in the video.

"Haha... Hey!... Ha!..." Lao Xia was not only imitating expressions, but also imitating laughter.

To be honest, Lao Xia's imitation was quite decent. Judging from the changes in expressions, there were only some very subtle differences.

Of course, others can't tell the difference, but Xiang Kun can still tell whether he is really laughing because it's funny or whether he is deliberately controlling his smile to imitate it. The skin and muscles of his face, with Xiang Kun's super vision, can still tell. It is easy to see, let alone judge based on other sensory information such as heartbeat and breathing at the same time.

Seeing Lao Xia go to the room again and take out her notebook with more than 900 behavioral patterns and rules, as if she wanted to record her newly summarized "joyful, funny, happy" reaction method, Xiang Kun finally Unable to bear it, he stretched out his hand and pressed down the book that Lao Xia had opened.

Looking at each other with Lao Xia, Xiang Kun could see that Lao Xia's original thinking patterns and behavioral habits were actually disrupted by his two "emotional assimilation" reactions just now.

According to Xiang Kun's cognitive model for Lao Xia, after the two "emotional assimilations" just now, she should first discuss specific emotional perceptions with Xiang Kun, the "emotional origin", and then re-watch those funny videos. , try to recall and reconstruct emotional cognition.

It seems that these two emotional experiences made Lao Xia eager to "keep" those emotional perceptions, which is why he was so eager to imitate and record them.

From this perspective, two consecutive "emotional assimilations" of the same type of emotion did have some lasting impact on Lao Xia. From another perspective... it should be that to a certain extent, he and Lao Xia have reached a certain level. What was Xia Yuan’s experimental purpose?

"Lao Xia, why do we do the 'emotional assimilation' experiment?"

Xiang Kun said, without waiting for Lao Xia to give the answer, he continued: "The purpose of our experiment is to let you experience the emotions of happiness and joy, and to find a way for you to feel emotions by yourself. method.

"Emotions... or feelings, can't be imitated." Xiang Kun tapped his heart with his hand and said, "What needs to be practiced is not expression, but perception.

“These two emotional assimilations, what you feel are my feelings, my emotions and emotions.

"You should use the feelings you feel during 'emotional assimilation' as seeds to find ways to plant your own emotions and emotions."

After Xiang Kun finished speaking, he watched Xia Libing nod thoughtfully and put the notebook away, feeling slightly relieved.

He actually didn't plan to go into so many details, because he knew that Lao Xia was a very independent and thoughtful person. She had her own planning and organization in everything she did, and had her own behavioral patterns and ways of thinking.

However, based on Lao Xia's reaction just now, Xiang Kun decided that he still had to make the decision and take the lead in this matter - because Lao Xia really didn't have any experience in this area.
