This superpower is unreliable.

Chapter 73: Deteriorated Dipping Sauce

During the experiment, the subjects are told what they are told during the experiment, which may not be true.

For example, drug trials require a control group, and the subjects do not know whether they are taking the real test drug or a placebo.

After Huang Chiyao confirmed that the "Heart-to-Heart Dipping Sauce" was effective, he believed in the authenticity of this superpower. Although the effect is sometimes ineffective, sometimes unexpected but not satisfactory, it is still a real "experimental drug".

But now Liusi told her that the "Heart-to-Heart Dipping Sauce" had gone bad?

"What do you mean?"

The yellow wings shook with fear.

She had used "Xinxin Dipping Sauce" on many people, from Zhang Dianxin at the beginning to Wen Guzhi a few hours ago. Judging from the examples that had already taken effect, the results were good almost every time.

At least that's what she thought.

But now it seems not that simple.

Huang Chiyao grabbed Liu Yusi's shoulders with both hands and forced his upper body to face her. It was just dawn and the light in the car was not bright. Even though she was facing Liu Yusi's childlike face, she couldn't see his expression at the moment.

"Lius, tell me, does 'Heart Dipping Sauce' have any side effects?"

Liuyousi slowly raised his eyes, only to see him smiling awkwardly at Huang Chiyao. This smile that seemed both happy and sad made her even more confused.

"It's not that there are any sequelae, it's that the 'heart-to-heart dipping sauce' has evolved."

Huang Chiyao almost wanted to grab Liu Yusi's shoulders and shake him hard to make him spit out all the words. But seeing that his appearance and shape were almost the same as that of a little boy, she endured it. Otherwise, she would feel like she was abusing a child.

But it was too tiring and torturous to listen to Liusi's slow questions and answers.

She took a deep breath, exhaled, and tried to question Rioux calmly. "Dear Rioux, Lord Rioux, Uncle Rioux, can you tell me the whole story in detail? You first said it was not a side effect, but a deterioration, and now you say it is not a sequelae, but an evolution. You are so ambiguous, like a riddle, what exactly do you want to express? Now it's a matter of life and death, this is not the time to play around."

"I just don't know how to explain it to you..." Rious frowned and scratched his head. "This is the first time I've seen something like this. 'Heart Dipping Sauce' is just a simple and normal superpower, just a tool. When you implant an emotion into someone else, it will only affect that person's mood at the time, and it will only last for a relatively short period of time, and it won't last until the next day."

"But now it seems... to have upgraded, as if it has begun to have its own consciousness, actively infecting the emotions that were implanted at the beginning, and then this emotion will subtly influence the person who was implanted. I personally think this is deterioration, a bug, but there are also many people in our team who are excited about this change. They think it is evolution."

Huang Chiyao felt cold all over when he heard what Liu Yusi said next.

She remembered a story she had read in an old fable book donated to the library.

An ant, while looking for food, came to a room. There was no one in the room, but there was a lot of food on the table. The ant proclaimed himself the king of this territory, and after feasting, he used the keyhole of a nearby cabinet as his castle and moved the food into his new castle in small batches. Later, the owner of the room showed up and took away the food. The ant shouted that the human was invading, and tried to repel the human with his claws and teeth, but was crushed to death by a finger. The food left by the ant in the keyhole attracted cockroaches, and the cockroaches finally occupied the room.

The story ends here.

Huang Chiyao thought the story was incomprehensible at the time.

Now it seems that she is no different from that ant.

Small in power, but arrogant.

She originally thought that she was the temporary owner of "Heart-to-Heart Dipping Sauce", but she didn't expect that "Heart-to-Heart Dipping Sauce" was using her and turning the emotions implanted in her into a parasite, and the person implanted with the emotions became the host.

She laughed to herself.

"Are you hiding this from me on purpose?"

Rious quickly shook his head and waved his hands, "No! We were not sure at the beginning, so we wanted to get a few more sets of data to see if 'Heart Dipping Sauce' has really evolved..."

"What's the result?"

"If you look at the data alone, things did start to change in mid-June."

In mid-June, that was the time she actually tried it on a senior executive.

Huang Chiyao was still puzzled.

"But it clearly didn't work that time. Not even a little bit. I thought it was because I was too emotional at the time, and the 'Heart Dipping Sauce' automatically blocked my spell."

Liuyousi licked his dry lips, swallowed his saliva, and then slowed down his speech to explain to Huang Chiyao.

"In terms of the rules for spell words, we do have some restrictions on certain words. For example, words that clearly threaten people's lives, such as wanting to die, wanting to kill people, and wanting to hit people, will definitely be blocked. So, do you remember what emotion you wanted to implant in the first place?"

Huang Chiyao closed his eyes and tried hard to recall what he was thinking at that time.

She only remembered the most important part.

"I was so ashamed that I wanted to disappear immediately."

Huang Chiyao spoke this sentence softly, and the sound of every word coming out of her mouth made her heart beat.

Rious sighed.

"The word 'disappear' is very ambiguous, because emotions can also disappear. Perhaps because there is no way to define the severity of this word, 'Heart Dipping Sauce' blocked your spell according to the established procedures on the surface, but in fact it kept this emotion in its own database for analysis. Then, it was as if it was activated. It probably started to have its own consciousness during this period."

Huang Chiyao still wanted to make a final struggle. "Why not check the whole sentence, but only the words? Wouldn't it be safer this way?"

Rios answered awkwardly, "The collocation of adjectives is ever-changing. If we limit it to a whole sentence, the range is too large. So in order to prevent superpowers from being used maliciously, we set a major premise, which is to find a kind person to control it."

"Heh..." Huang Chiyao couldn't help but clench her fists. "Kind...kind people can also do evil unintentionally." She pounded the cushion hard, "Now someone's dead! Someone committed suicide because of me!"

"Calm down." Liu Yuxu patted Huang Chiyao's shoulder, "That person's suicide is not necessarily because of you! You should investigate whether something has happened to him. Even if it is a subtle influence, there must be an opportunity first to affect it."

Huang Chiyao couldn't help but raise his head and look at Liu Yusi.

"So, I was the last straw?"

Rious shook his head.

"I guess you are the trigger."
