NO00ee: Nyx ​​Factor

"Now, what can you see in my eyes?"

After Jim climbed out of the dark coffin, the girl with her hands behind her back approached his face and asked with a smile.

Hearing that familiar voice, Jim raised his head and looked at her, and then...

The twitching characteristics of facial muscles when smiling, the subtle fluctuations in the tone of voice when speaking, the small changes in the frequency of chest rise and fall when breathing, the various hormone signals emitted from sweat glands...the countless physiological signs that were subconsciously ignored in the past were now in his mind. The topological structure is constantly changing in the brain, and then translated into information that can be described in natural language.

In just one moment, Jim had a deeper understanding of the girl's mind than he had in the previous three years combined. Even Jim himself was confused at this moment - why are there so many conflicts between people due to deviations in expression of understanding?

"I……"

At a distance where they could feel each other's breathing, Jim looked away awkwardly, and after a long time he answered the question:

"I see...my own reflection in your eyes."

Regarding this answer, the girl first laughed out loud, then pretended to be angry and poked Jim's forehead:

"Don't give me this! If the Depth 2 enhancement of the upgrade path Orpheus is at this level, then all the abyss wanderers in the world will probably be unemployed."

As she spoke, she opened her hands and slapped Jim on the face, forcing his head to turn towards her.

"Let me ask you, can you read my emotions or thoughts now?"

The girl asked, blinking.

Jim, after struggling for a long time with no results, had no choice but to say:

"It can be read, but the translation that represents the topological structure is the ability that least needs to be verified... Don't you want to verify the core ability of the Orpheus Path first?"

The girl couldn't help but frown and think for a moment, then nodded and let go.

And after seeing the two red slap marks on Jim's face, she couldn't help but giggle.

Jim ignored this crazy girl, just rolled his eyes at her and started to introduce:

"'Orps' is an adjustment path that focuses on strengthening human's 'senses' and 'cognition'. Although there is no enhancement in physical strength and network combat, it has gained the ability to interfere with 'perception'. For example , by spreading the 'Nix factor' to observe and influence changes in other people's brain electrical signals, in order to achieve the effect of predicting the enemy's actions in advance and distorting cognition..."

………

In the moment when the six swords flashed, Jim recalled what happened a long time ago.

"Nyx Factor" is a special nano-substance automatically generated by the Orpheus Path Adjuster. A single factor is inactive, but when it is dispersed in the air and reaches a certain concentration, it can be activated by the adjuster's DNA and resonate in the air. A certain precise electromagnetic environment is stimulated within a certain period of time.

The essence of the brain's neural activity is the joint action of potentials and hormones. Activating the Nyx factor can sense the electromagnetic field generated by brain nerve impulses within a certain range, thereby determining where the other person's eyes are looking at the moment, or what the body intends to do at the brain level. do what.

Jim usually seals Nyx factors in bullet warheads and activates them through his own blood.

After receiving the inexplicable call that asked him to "run away", he made up his mind to find a reason to fire a shot in this closed room, and then see whether to activate it depending on the subsequent situation.

After confirming the hostility of the Linyuan family warriors towards him, he deliberately let out an exaggerated laugh, pulling the unhealed wound on his head to bleed, and completed the activation.

In other words, long before the retainer ordered him to be beheaded, he had already completed the deployment of "Nix Factor" in this room to deal with possible bad situations.

At this moment, in Jim's perception, the brains of everyone in the room are like indicator lights floating in mid-air. Any movement of these people will automatically light up at the moment of impulse, prompting him to avoid it in advance.

This is a future perspective that only looks at the actions of others.

Of course, this alone is not enough. The prosthetic enhancements that the Lin Yuan family gave to their samurai were not ordinary things, but in terms of physical fitness, these people were far stronger than Jim, who was almost a blank slate, in terms of speed, strength, and accuracy. Even if he could predict the movements of these warriors, everything would be in vain as long as his body could not keep up with them.

But as an adjustment and transformation of Depth 2, the role of Nyx factor is more than that.

Since brain activity can generate electromagnetic fields, passing electromagnetic fields in the opposite direction can also affect the brain activity of the other party.

When activated, Nyx factors can take advantage of inherent defects in human brain activity to actively induce a variety of cognitive impairment diseases.

For example, Alice in Wonderland Syndrome.

This is a rare neurological disease. Due to the compression of the optic nerve by lesions in the occipital lobe of the brain, the patient's visual perception will be incorrect, resulting in a distortion of time and space. Or there will be a mosaic visual effect in front of you, or you will think that far away things are very close to you, or you will see small things as big.

Or, think of something shorter as very long...

Strictly speaking, Jim did not avoid the blades of the six warriors—nor did he have the ability to do so—he just distorted their visual perception, causing the six warriors to misjudge the length of their blades, making them feel that their blades could just cut off Jim's head.

The six seemingly fatal blades were swung out at the same time, but they all missed, while Jim, who was in the middle, stood there unscathed.

If a normal person saw this scene, he would probably think it was a martial arts performance on a stage.

After they missed, Jim immediately raised his gun and pointed it at the head of the man in front of him.

"I'll be more decisive too."

As he said that, he pulled the trigger directly.

"Bang!"

A correct version of the book in 1619!

The gunshot rang out, and the bullet penetrated the opponent's right neck, and a stream of blood spurted from the wound to the ceiling like a fountain.

"Qi——"

Jim pulled the corner of his mouth—the gun just now was indeed aimed at the forehead, but the opponent's enhanced reaction was far faster than his shooting speed. Even with the distortion of visual cognition, the warrior still dodged the fatal shot and was not shot in the head on the spot.

Without any nonsense, he passed the warrior he had knocked down, and was too lazy to shoot again, and rushed directly to the direction of the door.

After all, he was still surrounded by these people at close range. Even if he distorted their cognition, if they raised their knives and chopped at the front randomly, he was not sure that he could really avoid being hit.

At this time, the retainer seemed to realize something, and she shouted to the warriors guarding the door:

"Close the door, don't let him run away!"

The two warriors guarding the door immediately followed the order after receiving it-then they both pressed their hands on each other's chests, and at the same time pushed each other to the corner of the room, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Jim, who manipulated the Nix factor to distort the other party's sense of direction, pulled the corner of his mouth again, and then ignored the other two warriors who rushed towards him with knives, letting them bump into each other, and rushed to the door in one step.

But the next moment, the door was closed and locked by the bunny girl.

Jim looked at her in confusion - he had previously induced Alice in Wonderland syndrome in everyone in the room through the Nyx factor, and it was impossible for anyone to close and lock the door with such precise movements under the influence of this cognitive error.

"You..."

The bunny girl turned her head and looked at Jim after locking the door silently, and the moment he saw her expression, Jim stopped what he was going to say.

Jim could not read any information from her body topology, as if she was not a living person but a plastic model.

And, what was even more disturbing was that her eyeballs were spinning rapidly in her eye sockets at this moment. (End of this chapter)
