Chapter 66 Twisted Aesthetics

Xiang Kun meticulously pondered over what he could have done within those 16 hours that could lead to this outcome.

Was it due to some ability to locate objects that he somehow acquired or was it only limited to locating this piece of tissue paper?

Did he unconsciously do something that “affected” this tissue paper, or did his body or consciousness specifically mutate towards this tissue paper?

During those 16 hours the day before yesterday, Xiang Kun was thinking of making the tissue paper move while staring at it.

However, often various sensory information was transmitted to his brain.

Such as the various subtle smells on the tissue paper, he even faintly smelled the distinct scents of chlorine, bleach powder, and pulp.

For instance, when he stared at the tissue paper, it felt as though he was looking at a bunch of disordered objects interwoven together, reminiscent of rice noodles.

His first reaction at the time was that he was seeing the fibrous composition of the tissue paper, but he quickly felt that was impossible because even if his vision had evolved, it could not have reached such an extent. From what he saw of the tissue paper fibers, it should have been magnified at least a hundred times or more.

But now thinking back, could he have really seen the fibers of the tissue paper?

However, if it was looking at the details of the tissue paper for a long time, making his body think he desperately needed microscopic vision, leading to a visual mutation, then that ability should only manifest after blood drinking and mutation, not immediately. This contradicts the pattern of targeted training, blood drinking, and mutation he had previously concluded.

Moreover, he can no longer see microscopic images at that level anymore.

Additionally, during those 16 hours, there were four instances of his eyes being filled with a white light, causing him to see nothing. He thought at the time it was because he stared in one place for too long, due to visual fatigue, and didn’t think too much about it.

But now, maybe it wasn’t that simple?

Xiang Kun pulled out another new piece of tissue paper (code-named Tissue 2), placed it next to the wrinkled tissue paper, and stared at it.

This time, instead of using his mind to move the tissue paper as he had before, he focused entirely on the tissue paper itself, from its appearance to its smell, carefully observing and distinguishing.

When a white light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, Xiang Kun quickly looked at the timing on his phone:

00:38:45.

It only took 38 minutes.

Xiang Kun carefully packed “Tissue 2” in 3 garbage bags, then went outside to place it at the door.

After closing the door and returning to the living room, Xiang Kun sat in the living room and found he could not sense “Tissue 2” the same way he had sensed the previous tissue paper – although he clearly knew “Tissue 2” was at the door.

Did the white light that filled his entire field of vision have a special meaning? Was the “focused observation” time not long enough? Or did he also need to wait until after blood drinking and mutation?

After retrieving “Tissue 2,” Xiang Kun took the previous tissue paper (code-named Tissue 1), spread it out, and cut it into two identical pieces with scissors, and placed them in the bedroom and living room respectively.

Through sensation, Xiang Kun found he could sense the part of Tissue 1 in the living room, but not the part in the bedroom.

He put the two pieces of tissue paper back together again, cut them into four pieces with scissors, and continued to place them in the bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and living room.

He only sensed the one in the bedroom.

Also this time, he could distinctly feel that his sensing ability had decreased slightly.

Once he gathered all four parts of Tissue 1 together, his sensing ability recovered somewhat, but it was still lower than when he first began.

Xiang Kun wet the entire tissue paper with water, squeezed it together, and his sensing ability continued to decline.

Xiang Kun used a hair dryer to dry the ball of tissue paper, but his sensing ability did not recover.
