Chapter 2591: Psychic gland

After considering it for a long time, Qiao An finally decided to keep the "portable brain aid" and put it away properly. Maybe it will come in handy sometime.
Putting away the "portable brain aid", Qiao An recalled the Qingbing secret storage box from the spirit world, took out Isaac's corpse, took blood for analysis, and then dissected the corpse later.
The special abilities that Qiao An parsed from Isaac's blood fall into two categories.
The first is the racial abilities that adult mindsavers have, such as covering the head of a prey with tentacles that grow from the face, squeezing and consuming the brain, and various talented abilities represented by "Mind Blast".
In addition, Isaac, as a 12th-level psychic who specializes in the "Mind Confusion Control System", acquired the 1st to 6th psychic powers through professional practice, which is also the focus of Qiao An's attention.
Isaac has a total of 15 psychic abilities, of which there are three tier 1 abilities: "Mind Poke", "Reading Thoughts", and "Psionic Charm".
"Mind Prick" Qiao An has learned a long time ago, "Reading Thoughts" is actually the psionic version of "Detect Thoughts", "Psionic Charm" is quite interesting, equivalent to the 1st arc Arcane "Charm Human" and 4th ring The complex of arcane "charming monsters" exerts different effects according to the number of psionic points spent during manifestation.
If only 1 point of psionic power is invested, then "Psionic Charm" is equivalent to "charming humans."
If you invest 3 points of psionic power, then in addition to humanoid creatures, this power can also charm animals, spirits, giants, magic beasts, or humanoid monsters.
If you invest 5 points of psionic power at a time, in addition to the above species, you can also charm strange monsters, dragons, elements, and alien creatures, which is equivalent to "charming monsters."
There are three Tier 2 abilities mastered by Isaac, "Mental Lock", Psionic Suggestion and Psionic Levitation. Qiao An has either already learned or the corresponding arcane version.
Isaac also has three Tier 3 abilities, "Psionic Dispelling Technique", "Mind Blast", and the "Law Locking Technique" used in a duel with Qiao An.
Qiao An has mastered the first two abilities a long time ago, and "Laryngeal Lock" is worth studying. This ability can remotely paralyze the recipient's respiratory system, causing him to fall into a coma temporarily. As far as the third-order ability is concerned, it is relatively practical.
The Tier 4 abilities that Isaac comprehend include the "triggering suggestion" and "memory tampering" familiar to Qiao An, as well as the "psionic control".
The mode of operation of "Psionic Domination" is similar to "Psionic Charm". The basic model only needs 7 energy points, which is equivalent to "Domination of Humans" in Arcane Art. The more additional psionic points, the more species that can be controlled. The more abundant it is, 11 points of psionic energy can affect all living things, which is equivalent to the 9th-level arcane "monster dominance".
A simple conversion will tell you that 11 psionic power is equivalent to a 6th-level spell slot, but it can receive an effect comparable to 9th-level arcane magic. This is definitely a big profit!
Of course, the duration of "Psionic Domination" is not as long as the arcane version, but it is enough for a battle.
There are two Tier 5 abilities of Isaac, "Super Resonance" and "Mind Probe". The former can enter into a spiritual contract with other psionic creatures to temporarily share senses, abilities and psionic points; the latter is actually a reduced version of "dream catching", which can detect the most secret memory in the heart of the subject with mental power And true feelings, very suitable for obtaining information.
Isaac only learns one of the 6th-level supernatural powers, which is the "mind exchange".
This ability is very insidious and dangerous, and if you are careless, you will play it to death.
Two creatures that exchange bodies, any one of them dies, after the manifestation ends, the soul of the other creature cannot return to the body that has lost its life, and will die with it.
In addition, spells such as "Advanced Dispelling Techniques", "Counter-Evil", "Break the Enchantment" and "Ruby Reversal Ray" can break the "Mind Exchange" and force the spirits of both parties to return to their original state. Body.
Qiao An transcribed the analyzed psychic powers to the "Infinite Psionic Book" presented by Ms. Altalan. After a short break, he took out a full set of surgical instruments and dissected Isaac's corpse.
The host of the Heart Devil is an ordinary humanoid creature. Judging from its size, this body should have been a half-orc.
After this unfortunate guy was parasitized by Isaac, his brain was sucked dry first, and then his head was deformed to look like a purple octopus. The physiological function also undergoes complex changes. The original rough skin is attached to a layer of secretion in the body. The mucus became smooth and moist, and the body shape and limbs did not change much.
The body of the Mind Reaver is actually the brain tissue parasitic on the host. After anatomy, Qiao An discovered that Isaac’s brain is extremely developed. There is also a special gland in the skull that is rarely found in humanoid organisms. The appearance is translucent. It is water drop-like and has a rather hard texture.
After a little inspection, Qiao An discovered that this special gland emits psionic energy fluctuations, and its internal structure also presents the characteristics of a psionic circuit, just like a natural spiritual weapon.
It can be seen that this is the so-called "spiritual gland"-an organ dedicated to the generation and storage of psychic energy in the organism.
Not only the mind-grabbing demon, but all creature groups with psionic talents, such as gray dwarves, benthic demon fish, githyanki, etc., have "spiritual glands" in their bodies.
Qiao An has read many academic papers on psionics before, and once asked sister and brother Zion and Ms. Altalan of Yinkong for such a question:
The vast majority of ordinary people do not need to be particularly intelligent, and can master the arcane spellcasting skills after systematic learning and training. The difference is nothing more than a level.
However, why do ordinary people rarely have individuals with psionic talents, and the probability is much lower than that of sorcerers with spell-casting talents. What is going on?
The answer given by Sister Zion is "there is no'psychic pool' in ordinary humans". Ms. Altalan's explanation goes deeper, pointing out that the developed "spiritual gland" is a spontaneous biological activation of the "psychic pool". Important conditions.
Qiao An’s research on the anatomy of the mind-diving devil’s brain can provide evidence for Ms. Altalan’s conclusion, but he has not forgotten Ms. Altalan’s subsequent addition: "The'spiritual glands' are just biological psionic talents. The important conditions for this are neither sufficient nor necessary."
To put it bluntly, someone is born with a well-developed "spiritual gland", which can only indicate that the probability of spontaneously opening up a "spiritual pool" is very high, but it is not necessarily open; on the contrary, someone who does not have a "spiritual gland" by nature can still pass Other ways to open up a "psychic pool" and become a manifester-Qiao An himself is a living example.
