Chapter 3094: Psionic Mystery

————Currently rushing~~

As time ticked away, Mohawi gradually lost all perception of the outside world; whether it was hearing, touch, or any other sense, they all vanished quickly with the passage of time.

At this moment, Xia Duo, substituting into Mohawi's memories, felt only a void, as if a brain in a vat had its input signals cut off; at this moment, even his thinking was somewhat stagnant, though not completely so.

Xia Duo's thinking did not stagnate because he was, after all, not truly Mohawi, nor had he truly returned to the past; he was merely experiencing this segment of memory.

As for Mohawi, the reason his thinking did not stagnate was as if there were some power outside of his body supporting him.

Xia Duo speculated that perhaps the Artifact was playing a role; he attempted to delve deeper, but what he felt ultimately came from Mohawi—what Mohawi could not feel, he could not feel either.

Moreover, there was an insurmountable barrier of space and time between him and Mohawi's real experience.

Not knowing how much time had passed, even though he was not completely immersed in a void like Mohawi, Xia Duo still found it very difficult to perceive the passage of time, only able to speculate how much time had passed through his mental activities.

But the Artifact Hall would naturally weaken perception; what state thinking could maintain in a void was something Xia Duo did not know before today.

Once that thought arose, it grew and spread like wild grass, but Xia Shao still had not made up his mind; after all, the current situation had not yet reached the point where he needed to risk himself.

The other layer was the world perceived through Psionic.

"Experience this feeling well; it will be beneficial for you to create your own Mental Image World in the future."

As for using other people for experiments, that was not essentially different from experiencing Mohawi's memories; as long as Xia Shao himself could not perceive Psionic, even if others awakened Psionic right in front of him, he might not be able to discover it.

……

Clearly, Psionic had already exceeded Xia Shao's scope of observation.

Uncertainty is the thing researchers fear most, and Xia Shao was no exception.

He preferred to experiment personally so that he could perceive Psionic more intuitively, but unless he held the Artifact, he could not truly make up his mind.

Regarding the process of Mohawi Awakening Psionics, Xia Shao was still somewhat in the dark, and he was not very clear about the process of Mohawi using Psionic to perceive the outside world.

Xia Shao suddenly realized that perhaps no Arcane Mage had ever conducted relevant experiments; currently, spellcasters of the mainstream Arcane Magic System, whether Netherese, Elf, or Dwarf, did not think much of Psionic Magic.

It was as if Psionic did not exist at all, and all of Mohawi's behaviors were just groundless delusions.

It was a bright light that suddenly shone into Mohawi's consciousness, allowing him to perceive everything within the Artifact Hall with unparalleled clarity, transcending physical senses——

Of course, there was another reason for not doing so: it was too inhumane. Even if they volunteered for the experiment, Xia Shao had to consider whether it would harm the other party, because if they volunteered, they were surely his own people.

"Then should I try sensory deprivation myself?"

However, before that, Xia Shao needed to organize his memories first and clear out any potentially existing polluted information (non-actively received information that could change subconscious thinking patterns).

Whether it was system competition or ideological differences, in short, Psionic Magic was indeed not well-received in the Northland.

"Uh——"

And if it were an involuntary experiment, that would actually be more troublesome; Psionic Awakening was very random. Some awakeners were extremely weak when they first awakened, but some were very powerful upon awakening.

Or rather, the power referred to by 【Psionic】 was real in the current world and did not cease to exist because of Xia Shao's denial.

Xia Shao also indirectly experienced such eternity by substituting into Mohawi's memories, as if it were before the birth of the Universe, or like the darkness before dawn, quietly gestating some indescribable thing.

Later, Mohawi also tried to communicate with that mysterious voice, but what Xia Shao could perceive synchronously was only Mohawi's process of contemplation, without any process of Psionic interaction.

……

Psionic is real!

Combining what he felt himself, he roughly speculated that not much time should have passed after Mohawi completely lost perception of the outside world, but in Mohawi's most real inner experience, it felt as if he had experienced an eternity.

On the very day of Awakening Psionics, Mohawi was considered one of the earlier ones; under the guidance of a Psionic Scholar, he was still continuing to experience the state of losing physical perception, using Psionic to explore this new world.

Fortunately, Mohawi's memory was like a "tape" to him now; if he didn't understand one point, he could rewind and watch it repeatedly.

Thinking about it, it was quite terrifying.

But inside and out, it certainly wasn't that simple.

Of course, the southern countries might not have researched anything substantial either; it was more at the application level, researching how to deal with Psionic Magic and Psionic Mages, rather than Psionic itself.

If one could awaken Psionic by depriving the body of senses, then Arcane Magic had too many means to deprive senses; could it be that no one had ever conducted relevant experiments?

Plus, Zhamu Dasi was far away in the south and could not pose a threat to the Northland for the time being, so there was no need to study Psionic Magic or Psionic Mages like Calimshan, Kaitemier, and other neighbors of Zhamu Dasi.

Before obtaining Mohawi's memories, Xia Shao had once thought that Psionic Mages could also perceive the Magic Net, and that so-called Psionic Magic would ultimately fall back to directly manipulating the Magic Net.

The companions who had fainted and fallen to the ground beside him, the Skull emitting brilliant purple light on the Central Altar, and the Psionic Scholar smiling at him beside the altar.

Even an awakening with the assistance of an Artifact was not necessarily completely harmless, let alone a knock-off awakening simulated by Arcane Magic; if some accident happened, it would be too late to regret.

A sudden voice broke into Mohawi's memory; it had no source and no origin, as if it appeared out of thin air. Not only was Mohawi startled, but Xia Shao, who was substituting into Mohawi's memory, was also startled.

But the facts were exactly the opposite: Psionic Mages could not perceive the existence of the Magic Net at all. From Mohawi's perspective, the world was divided into only two layers——

Unlike the Psionic Mages Xia Shao had first imagined, Psionic Mages actually could not perceive the Magic Net.

Involving the most fundamental level of consciousness, if one messed up, they might drive themselves crazy, or their thinking might become alienated, turning into another person.

One layer was the reality perceived by physical senses;

But this was clearly not the fact.

In the Laboratory, while organizing memories, Xia Shao repeatedly pondered the process of Mohawi Awakening Psionics. On the surface, it was just an ordinary person entering a dark room and then suddenly awakening superpowers.

Normally, whether it was a Communication Spell or mental communication, there were traces to follow; even if it looked like it appeared out of thin air, it would inevitably leave traces, it was just a matter of whether the observer could discover them.

With no results from his thinking, Xia Shao decided to continue viewing Mohawi's memories. After organizing his own memories, he synchronized with Mohawi's memories again; this time, what he wanted to view was the memory of Mohawi undergoing Psionic training.
