Chapter 1137 Anti-spying Mechanism

These words immediately turned the relaxed atmosphere in the office serious.

For these researchers, joining Modis's academic group meant a direct entry into the fast track of their careers.

It will not only be helpful in one's work and career, but will also be of great help in academic research.

Of course, everyone knew that while it seemed like a matter of answering well to get into the academic group, Modis's questions were by no means random.

Modis often gave newcomers such opportunities for rapid promotion, but he never did it on a whim. Every scholar he promoted later made a name for himself in a very short time.

In other words, this problem is also a touchstone for testing one's own abilities!

But... what exactly is hidden in this report?

The report provides very standard data. What special potential information can be gleaned from such a small amount of data?

I can't think of anything like this even if I rack my brains!
Just as everyone was pondering the answer to this question, a young voice suddenly came from the corner.

"Is it possible that Brother Shou knew he was being tested, subconsciously noticed his interest in pictures related to romance, and didn't want this thought to be observed?"

Thus, this desire to keep his inner thoughts hidden triggered the Scorpion's defense mechanism in his subconscious.

As a result, Scorpion quickly developed a complex conditioned reflex that controlled his vision and attention, preventing him from instinctively gravitating towards images that he found appealing.

"And after the scorpion spine averaged out the attention, this is the result?"

Modis opened his eyes wide and looked in surprise at Li Ming, who was standing by the wall raising his hand to speak, and a rare expression of appreciation appeared on his face.

This is not a difficult problem. You just need to break the habit of analytical thinking, ignore the data, and question the premise of the test. Then you can easily get the correct answer.

However, those who spend too much time in the analysis room are very likely to become immersed in their own habitual thinking and start applying various explanations from academic papers to this particular case.

To use a simpler analogy, when some people fail in an experiment, they reflect on the mistakes in the experimental procedures and analyze various influencing factors.

However, some people will directly notice that it may be due to external factors such as aging equipment or unstable voltage.

“You’re the one from the third department,” Mordis said with a smile, stroking his short beard.

Li Ming was stunned for a moment, then quickly explained, "I, I was just saying it offhand, I don't know anything about it."

Are you coming to the research department?

"Huh? No, forget it. I think the third division is fine." Li Ming shook his head.

Modis shrugged: "That's a real shame."

However, you are right, it is the scorpion spine's reaction. This kid doesn't need further testing. As long as he subjectively believes he is being tested, that spine will automatically trigger the anti-peeping mechanism, preventing us from spying on his mind.

However… the data from before that is still quite useful. What was it again? Ah, an excessive desire to reproduce, right?

Modis nodded as he pondered.

After a while, he said, "Maybe we should arrange a few social events for him so he can find a girlfriend or something."

If his various stats decrease after he starts dating, then it proves that this is just normal physiological repression.

But if not, then the source of this desire may be extraordinary factors.

"Hiss! But... even if we find him a woman, how should we test him afterwards? If he finds out, the test will definitely be ineffective." Li Ming stood there, his expression slightly tense, wondering if this was something he should be listening to. He felt that if he heard this and didn't tell Brother Shou, he would become an accomplice of these people.

Although, they were only trying to help Shou Ge.

“Doctor, I have an idea!” a researcher raised his hand and said.

"tell me the story."

“We can arrange for an ideal woman to approach Xia Shou, and then investigate Xia Shou’s reaction during the reproductive process to determine whether his desires were satisfied or aroused.”

Another researcher immediately retorted: "No, with Xia Shou's observational skills, he would definitely be able to see that the woman is hiding something, so the only way to persuade her love interest is afterward."

Modis: "Are you kidding me? Xia Shou's authority is higher than your department's. We can't conduct this kind of privacy experiment without his knowledge."

"...That's really not like something a doctor would say."

"In short, we don't have the right to decide, but this result... can let that woman see it. If she agrees, then things will be much easier," Mordis muttered.

After saying that, Modis turned to Li Ming and said, "Hey kid, don't tell Xia Shou what we just said, understand?"
We'll discuss this with your supervisor. If you dare tell Xia Shou beforehand, you'd better expect to be reprimanded!

"I...I understand," Li Ming replied, feeling immense pressure.

……

11:00 PM.
The first day of testing has finally come to an end.

After staring blankly for several hours, Xia Shou was finally able to return to his dormitory to rest.

According to Modis, he didn't have any major psychological problems; at least compared to the last test, the data didn't change much.

However, Modis added that he should pay attention to his inner desires and confront any particular concerns he may have.

If the desires triggered by extraordinary factors are suppressed too much, it will accelerate the deterioration of the diary law and may lead to an early stage.

In the end, they will become like those extraordinary individuals who cannot use their abilities unless they disclose them or spread their extraordinary knowledge.

It becomes a situation where one can only control their own power by paying the price (satisfying desires).

Although Mordis's reminder had a subtle warning tone, the other party's overall evaluation of the test results still reassured Xia Shou somewhat.

Xia Shou has always been very concerned about his mental state, because he feels that he is now accelerating down a path of no return.

Previously, she was afraid that Wei Yu would find out about her relationship with Su Yue. Later, she learned from Su Yue that Wei Yu didn't mind at all, but was actually quite happy about it, so this problem was solved.

But now, new troubles have arisen.

Sister Yan... oh no, the minister...

Indeed, he no longer has any relationship with the minister outside of work, and he can control himself to prevent any relationship from developing outside of work.

However, he found himself starting to imagine all sorts of random things.

Does this mean... he's actually already plotting something bad?

"Don't even think about it, you'll die. She's a witch," Xia Shou told himself.

But another voice inside him told him: So what if she's a witch? If she doesn't have supernatural abilities, isn't she just like the characters in the book?
