When Ana Shen woke up again, it was already afternoon.
He was lying on a large bluestone by the stream, and the blood-like sunset covered the entire valley.
Bai Ye sat not far away, flipping the bonfire in front of him out of boredom. There were a few branches stuck beside the fire, and three grass carp, which were less than the size of an adult's hand, were roasting there.
Hearing Ana Shen's voice, Bai Ye turned his head in surprise: "Are you awake?"
"Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"
As she spoke, she pointed to the grilled fish beside the fire.
Ana Shen climbed up from the big bluestone, and her stomach growled in time.
Only then did he remember that since arriving in the town yesterday afternoon, he had not eaten anything for a whole day and night.
After a whole night of fighting, although the clown's spiritual energy was consumed the most, his body, which was not much stronger than ordinary people, still couldn't hold on.
Bai Ye fiddled with the fire to make the flames stronger, grabbed the smallest one and handed it to Ana Shen: "Eat the small one first, and roast the big one for a while."
"Thanks."
Baiye's grilled fish technique was not very good, and there were not enough seasonings in the wild. The grilled fish was just sprinkled with a little salt, and it was accompanied by an earthy smell.
But the strange thing was that when Shen Yan was halfway through eating, he discovered that Bai Ye was staring at the grilled fish with half of its bones exposed in his hand, swallowing secretly.
what's the situation? hungry? But isn’t there something else?
Ana Shen was stunned, pointed to the other two, and said: "There are two more fish, you can eat them too."
Bai Ye's expression remained normal and he shook his head: "No, I've already eaten."
As she spoke, she turned sideways, revealing the pile of small fish heads on the ground behind her.
Ana Shen took a rough look at it, and he looked like seventeen or eighty at least.
Although this little grass carp is not big, there are still more than three or two. Seventeen or eight fish add up to five or six kilograms.
The most important thing is that he found that there were only fish heads on the ground, not even fish bones or bones.
Bai Ye couldn't just throw away the fish bones and keep the fish heads, unless she had some special hobby for fish heads.
But judging from Ana Shen's observation, this possibility is slim.
Thinking back to the way she drooled looking at the half of the fish in her hand... so she ate all the bones?
Thinking of this, Ana Shen shook half of the grilled fish in his hand and asked tentatively: "You swallowed before, but you were not hungry. You just wanted to eat... fish bones?"
Bai Ye's expression froze, and he felt that his cheeks were getting hot under the care of the fire.
She moved closer to the fire and said calmly: "I...I don't know why. It's weird, isn't it?"
"When did your situation appear?"
Bai Ye shook his head, with a look of distress on his delicate and generous face: "I've never had this before. This special appetite for bones only appeared this time when I ate fish."
"Is it because I'm too hungry? Since awakening my spiritual power, I've found that my appetite has increased significantly. Especially this time, I haven't eaten for a day and a night. Maybe something has been stimulated..."
Ana Shen shook his head noncommittally: "It's most likely related to your awakened spiritual energy. As for whether it's because you're hungry... I can't tell yet."
Psychic power is a special power formed based on the awakened person's cognition. Everyone's awakened psionic power is different, and their external manifestations are also strange.
Bai Ye has a special appetite for bones, which Ana Shen thinks is quite reasonable.
If you just like to eat bones, this is already a very refreshing and refined 'hobby'.
"I still have three fish bones here, do you want to try again?"
Ana Shen quickly finished the fish, holding three fish bones in one hand and shaking them while looking at Bai Ye with a smile.
Bai Ye took a deep breath and turned his head away: "Whoever wants to eat your leftovers should quickly find a place to throw it away!"
"If you feel dirty, you can wash it first."
"..."
"I think you have almost recovered. Let's go now. We can get to the nearest satellite city before it gets dark."
Bai Ye stood up with a straight face, turned around and was about to leave.
"Hey, why are you still in a hurry——"
Ana Shen grabbed her wrist, stopped in front of her, and said with a smile: "There are only two of us here now, which is the best opportunity to solve your special habit. If you go back in a hurry, what if? I couldn’t hold it back during the dinner party…”
"After all, you don't want to come back to the bureau and make trouble for everyone to know, right?"
Eating bones from one's own bowl is nothing, and being caught is just a little weird at best, but if one cannot help but eat bones from someone else's bowl, Bai Ye feels like he is going to die just thinking about it.
And even if you can resist eating other people's bones, it's embarrassing enough to keep staring at other people's bowls and drooling...
Bai Ye shook his head, took a deep breath, looked at Ana Shen uncertainly, and asked, "Do you... really have a solution?"
"It's not possible to completely solve it yet, but you can still increase your tolerance."
As Ana Shen spoke, she held the fish bone in her left hand and waved it in front of Bai Ye's eyes.
Bai Ye tried hard to tilt his head: "You take it away first!"
"This is not okay."
Ana Shen let go of Bai Ye's wrist and turned to Bai Ye with a smile: "The sudden quirk in you is not a physical impulse, but a kind of psychological hunger."
"Such psychological quirks are not uncommon among awakened people."
"The reason is probably that you used your psychic power on a large scale for the first time, resulting in excessive consumption in a short period of time. And your psychic power is specifically expressed as an external skeleton, which formed a structure in your subconscious. Concept – your bones are your strength.”
"When you consume too much strength, you will subconsciously want to eat some bones to make up for the previous loss. At this time, because you have not eaten for a long time, you will have physiological hunger. The combination of the two Then it became what it is now.”
Bai Ye frowned: "You mean, my current strong appetite for bones is because of the mental illness caused by the power of psychic energy?"
Ana Shen nodded: "Psychic energy itself is a special energy generated based on 'thinking consciousness', and it is normal for it to affect a person's thinking in turn. Almost every awakened person has some psychological problems to one degree or another."
Everyone has it... So what is your psychological problem...
Bai Ye almost blurted out subconsciously, but at the critical moment she remembered what she saw when she arrived here not long ago, so she still endured it.
Ana Shen was not clear about Bai Ye's psychological activities at this moment. He stood in front of Bai Ye with a professional smile on his face: "So...Ms. Bai, are you ready to accept my next treatment?"
