Closer to My True Form Every Day

Chapter 24: Hypersensitive sense of smell

Views:

After knowing that his tongue would not split, Feng Yi felt much more relaxed.

As for the so-called “different world”, it’s not a ghost, so don’t be afraid!!!

Although my face is still swollen and my nose still hurts, can't I just bear with it

The pain will become numb after a while, just get used to it, it won’t be a problem!

It's just two weeks!

Once he had prepared himself mentally, Feng Yi calmed down and was in a good mood to slowly make lunch - a liquid meal that he hadn't seen for a while.

Insert the straw and slurp.

After eating and drinking, Feng Yi thought about how to survive next.

Two weeks is not too long, but it is not too short either. We cannot just do nothing.

Let’s first think about how to deal with the evolution of the nose.

Feng Yi started looking up information again. The more he looked, the more worried he became. There were all kinds of hypotheses and inferences. The more he knew, the more worried he became. In the end, he threw his phone and computer aside and stopped looking at them.

The only way to relieve worries is to lift weights.

Using exercise to drive away sadness is also a good way, but my nostrils are blocked and it is a bit uncomfortable to breathe.

In addition to looking up information and exercising, Feng Yi also made other preparations.

Don't fight a battle without preparation!

With the previous experience, Feng Yi started placing orders for equipment after checking the information this time.

As the super-smell organ evolves, it will definitely be able to smell a variety of odors. What should we do then? What if a smell that we normally find pleasant turns out to be pungent

For example, indole, which has a strong olfactory characteristic, smells like flowers at very low concentrations, but when the concentration increases, it emits all kinds of indescribable odors. How can you tolerate that

Don't be overwhelmed by the smell.

With the experience of buying toothbrushes and toothpaste when he was growing teeth, Feng Yi ordered masks with different filter materials and functions online, as well as masks with filtration efficiencies greater than 90%, 95%, and 99% as backup.

After buying it, I felt it was not safe, so I placed an order for a dust and toxic protection mask.

In addition to the odor molecules in the air, the floating dust fibers also carry various odors. Feng Yi cannot guarantee that he will not be "poisoned" at that time.

This was the first time in his life that Feng Yi had grown an evolved vomeronasal organ, and he had no experience. He didn't know if what he did was too exaggerated or if he was overreacting, but it was better to be prepared.

In addition to these, Feng Yi also bought ingredients for making liquid food on the delivery platform. I thought that after the toothache and cheek pain were over, I could eat as much as I wanted. I didn't buy in this direction when I was stocking up yesterday, and the ingredients were in short supply.

After placing the order, Feng Yi put on a hooded jacket with a collar that could stand up.

The collar of his jacket stood up and the hood was pulled up. “As long as I pick up the food fast enough, the delivery man won’t be able to see me clearly!”

As for express delivery, he chose the courier company when placing the order and made a note to place the package in the community express cabinet. When he went to pick it up in the early morning, he would hardly see anyone there.

While he was staying at home, Wu Ji and Qian Feiyang also called him, but he made up all kinds of excuses to fool them. Anyway, he would not see anyone until the swelling on his face subsided.

A week later.

The swelling on my face has subsided and the pain is not as intense as it was at the beginning. I can just barely see the outline of my face. I no longer need to be treated like a pig when I go out wearing a mask.

The nostrils that had been blocked were finally unblocked.

At the moment of ventilation, Feng Yi took a deep breath, and then immediately blocked his nostrils with a tissue.

What does it feel like to have a hypersense of smell

It was as if countless indescribable pungent smells were blowing towards him, and a large amount of complex information instantly filled his brain, making Feng Yi dizzy and even wondering "Am I living in the real world?"

After recovering from his shock, Feng Yi could only plug his nostrils.

My nose is not under my control yet, so, sorry, I have to plug them first!

Just like when those two teeth were growing out before, they were out of control. Let’s suspend their work first!

At times like this, the gas mask Feng Yi bought came in handy.

Although the mask itself has an odor, it at least blocks most of the odorous gases and particles, giving his brain a chance to rest.

He needs to take time to adapt to this change and explore whether he can control the new olfactory organ to work selectively. It would be best if it could be dormant at ordinary times, otherwise he can't think of living a normal life.

This hurts too much!!

Feng Yi stood in front of the mirror, looking at the person in the mirror wearing a breathing mask and with a serious expression, as if he was facing some life problems.

Forget it, I’d better not go out.

I wonder if he will be considered a psychopath if he goes out like this.

It is not an emergency period now, and it has been raining continuously for the past two days. The rainfall is enough to wash away the polluted particles in the air, and the air quality has been good to excellent.

If he wears a normal mask, then he will be looked back at 80% if not 100%. Maybe someone will even take a short video and post it online to discuss him. If he meets a curious passerby, they may even ask if he has any respiratory disease and can only breathe sterile air.

So, for the next week, Feng Yi continued to stay at home and go through this difficult period of adaptation.

The evolution of the nose is not yet complete and is not easy to control, but Feng Yi can try to distinguish smells and identify objects by capturing these odor molecules.

Fabrics, dining chairs, sofas, electrical appliances, etc. all have their own smells.

Identify these smells and record them in your brain. When you have recorded more information, your brain will not be overwhelmed by all the smells at once.

You have to be selective and focused.

Without sufficient processing power, the biological cost of rapidly switching between multiple tasks is too high and it is too easy to become fatigued.

Adapt slowly and take control step by step.

From dust and gas masks to masks with a filtration efficiency of more than 99%, and then to 95% and 90%.

Different masks have different filtering focuses, and filter different particles and gases. After adapting to gas information, particle information will also adapt quickly.

Of course, the brain was overloaded during this period, and Feng Yi, apart from practicing identifying odor information and controlling the new olfactory organ, just ate and slept. It was too tiring.

At this point, the tea given by Uncle Ya had no effect.

The one-month validity period has expired and the tea has been retired.

No matter how good the tea is, it cannot help Feng Yi control his nose to identify smells.

The swelling on the face has subsided, and the face is still the same, but Feng Yi feels a little strange.

If they look the same, are they really the same

The nose seemed to be the same as before, but there was a small olfactory organ inside.

There is not an extra dimple on her face, but the extra ones are not visible from the outside.

Looking at the gloomy sky outside, Feng Yi decided to go out for a walk.

During this period, although he practiced identifying smells every day and his control over his nose gradually deepened, he could wander around the house with his eyes closed. But after all, these were only limited to the house. He wanted to see what the "different world" mentioned by the old housekeeper was like.
