What It’s Like Being a Vampire

At 6:58 in the morning, before the alarm clock set on the mobile phone rang, Mi Qiao opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.

For a house girl who has been immersed in technology for many years, it is a habit to turn day and night upside down. In the past, she was often awake at this time.

It is normal for her to watch the sunrise before going to bed and watch the sunset after waking up.

But it's different now. Now she arranges her work and rest according to the working hours of the company she works in every day, which is quite regular, although she is not actually a member of this company.

After washing up and changing clothes in the bathroom of the master bedroom, she took her computer bag, walked out of the room, and left with Assistant Gao who was already "ready to go".

When he was about to reach the destination, Assistant Gao parked the car on the side of the road and went to the breakfast shop to buy breakfast.

Although Assistant Gao said before that you can buy breakfast in advance every morning, when Mi Qiao went to the laboratory on the first day, she heard from several researchers that the breakfast at the breakfast shop near the company tasted very good, so she asked Gao On the way to the company in the morning, the assistant stopped by this breakfast shop to buy breakfast.

While Assistant Gao was queuing up to buy breakfast, Mi Qiao took out his soft leather notebook from his bag, took out a piece of paper sandwiched inside, and squinted his eyes.

This piece of paper was obviously removed from a B5 notebook. It was densely packed with circles or lines of various sizes and radians drawn with a black neutral pen, and it was full of creases. It seemed that it had been folded before. complex shapes.

A few mornings ago, she accidentally discovered a paper airplane on the balcony.

Her first reaction was, of course, that the nearby residents were unqualified and shot paper airplanes at random. She wanted to pick them up and throw them in the trash can, but after she picked them up, she was attracted by the way the paper airplanes were folded.

This is the first time she has seen this kind of folding method. It is very complicated, but it does not seem to be complicated for the sake of good looks. This paper airplane still has a very good aerodynamic structure, with several complicated folding points. It seems to be designed for counterweight, which makes it look a different kind of "industrial aesthetic".

She took it to the room for a "test flight" and found that it flew very smoothly, so the scope of the paper airplane's source was expanded to include people on the 12th floor and above in several surrounding buildings.

So Mi Qiao didn't throw away the paper plane immediately, but took it apart to study the folding method of the plane. She didn't think there was anything weird about the paper plane, but simply saw a new and good folding method, and instinctively I just want to learn it—although she doesn't have any special interest in origami airplanes.

Under normal conditions,

After learning how to fold, the paper was thrown away.

But after opening the piece of paper, Mi Qiao found a bunch of circles and arcs scribbled on the paper. At first glance, it seemed that someone had scribbled on it, as if he was trying to see if the gel pen was smooth Shun the same. But after looking at it a few more times, I feel that these circles and arcs don't seem to be scribbled randomly, there is an inexplicable...beautiful feeling?

She tried to imitate the same type of circles and arcs on other papers, and found these patterns more and more difficult.

So she thought about it, and she casually put this piece of paper in a soft cover book, and occasionally took it out to look at it two or three times in the past few days, thinking about what these patterns represent.

However, although she has a lot of guesses, she has never had a reliable answer. Of course, in her guess, the biggest possibility is still that these patterns were drawn by someone blindly, and the people who drew them didn't know what they were drawing.

Assistant Gao got in the car after buying breakfast, handed the bag to Mi Qiao in the back seat, and glanced at the piece of paper with a strange pattern in her hand. Although she was a little curious, she didn't ask a word. He is very clear about what his job is, only doing things within the scope of his duties, and limiting curiosity are the principles he knew when he was doing this high-paying job.

After receiving the breakfast, Mi Qiao put the paper back into his soft leather notebook, and asked casually: "Assistant Gao, if I want to check the information of other residents in the community we live in now, is there a way? ?” Actually, she could find out by herself, but she had promised “Mr. Liang” before that she would not engage in excessive activities on the Internet unless she got his permission.

After hearing her words, Assistant Gao nodded, "Understood, I'll do it." He didn't ask her why she wanted to check the information.

...

star city.

Liu Shiling hasn't flipped coins so frequently in the kindergarten in the past two days. On the one hand, the kindergarten teacher told her mother that she hopes she can play less or no coins. Because there has recently been a "coin trend" in kindergartens, almost every child carries a one-yuan coin, and children are often seen playing with coins. However, not every child has Liu Shiling’s coin playing skills. For most of the children, the coins are not stable on the back of their hands, let alone flipped with their fingers, so you can often see children bending over to pick up coins, and Hearing the crisp sound of coins falling to the ground, children often quarreled and had conflicts because they couldn't tell which coin belonged to them.

On the other hand, it was Liu Shiling himself who found another way to play with coins besides flipping them.

She found that she could now control the two "magic coins" given to her by the bald uncle, making them stick tightly to her body.

For example, put a coin on the palm of your hand, and then turn your hand down, so that the coin can "stick" to the palm of your hand without falling. Sometimes even when she is in good condition, she can directly suck it into the palm of her hand at a distance of 2 or 3 centimeters from the coin.

Because the bald-headed uncle told her that the "magic" thing should be kept secret, so she can only play when others are not paying attention to her, and she will not show off in front of others.

Moreover, when she played with coins in this way, she occasionally caused some abnormal phenomena, such as the light in the activity room alternately changing light and dark, the speakers in the classroom made noise, and the projector screen was somewhat disturbed.

So when she was in kindergarten, she didn't play coins in this way very much, and practiced more in bed at night. Of course, she didn't know that every time at this time, Shiling's mother, who was playing games on her mobile phone in the next room, watched how the 460's network delay crashed.

In addition to coins, Liu Shiling also has a new feeling for the "magic A4 paper" that is already full of creases.

Now she faintly felt that sometimes, there seemed to be a thread between her and that piece of magic paper.

So when she folded the magic paper into a paper plane and threw it out, she could weakly control the direction and flight trend of the plane in the air.

Originally, the paper plane could only fly 10 meters away. Under her control, it might be able to fly up to 18 meters or even 20 meters. The original flying tendency was to go forward to the right, but under her control, it might be possible to turn straight forward.

And vaguely, she found that there seemed to be some inexplicable connection with some of the ordinary origami she made herself, and there seemed to be a thinner thread connecting her with those origami.

But maybe these "silk threads" were too thin and weak, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't actually have the slightest effect on the origami.

However, this discovery still aroused Liu Shiling's great interest. She felt that she had developed a new "magic field".

If he can master this new magic before he meets the bald uncle next time, he will definitely be able to surprise the bald uncle.

So, even though she is sitting in her seat now, her eyes have been locked on a two-headed paper crane on the table of a child in the same class not far away—she only knows that she folded it, but when did she fold it? Yes, I can't remember, anyway, I can vaguely feel the "thread" between myself and the paper crane.

Liu Shiling's eyes narrowed slowly, and she concentrated her thoughts, thinking about making the paper crane move, move, move slowly, as long as it moves even a little.

But after staring at it for a long time, her vision was a little blurred, she was even a little dazzled, and she wanted to cry, but the two-headed paper crane didn't move at all.

Just when she was about to give up and rubbed her eyes, the paper crane suddenly left the table and came straight towards her.

Liu Shiling was stunned for a moment, and then heard a timid voice: "Liu Shiling, I exchanged this paper crane with a doll for Xiaoxue. If you disagree, I will return it to her."

Only then did she realize that there were two little fingers gently pinching the body of the double-headed paper crane, for fear of touching too many parts and damaging them, and the owner of those two little fingers was standing on her desk. By the side, a beautiful little girl with a worried expression on her face.

Liu Shiling knows that this is one of the most popular children in their class. Not only is she cute and beautiful, she is also good at singing and dancing, and she can also sing in English. There are always new clothes and toys. Love playing with her.

Of course, that was before.

Now the most popular must be Liu Shiling, but she doesn't really care about this. Now her eyes are on the "magic world" of stars and seas. She wants to work hard to improve herself and have someone who can help the bald uncle as soon as possible. ability. At that time, maybe she can hunt those monsters together with the bald uncle.

And the other children are the people she needs to protect.

Well, the bald uncle uses a bow and arrow, and she uses magic, just like the elf archer and human magician in cartoons.

In Liu Shiling's little head, while YYing the scene of herself wearing a bright red magic robe with gold trimming to fight against monsters, she said to the pretty little girl at the table: "What I give her is hers, and what she gives you is hers." Yours, I have no problem."

The pretty little girl breathed a sigh of relief, showing a bright smile, and two cute dimples appeared on her cheeks: "Thank you! Liu Shiling!" Then she returned to her seat with the double-headed paper crane, as if the paper crane It wasn't that she exchanged the expensive Barbie doll, but Liu Shiling gave it to her.

Looking at the girl's back, Liu Shiling was also slightly taken aback, sniffed, and sighed inwardly:

She looks so pretty when she smiles!

Fortunately, I can magic.

...

In "Little Apple"'s room, besides "Little Apple" sitting quietly at the desk and "reading" a Braille book, there is also a little boy about ten years old who is "secretly" teasing the golden glitter in the birdcage .

"Don't touch it with your fingers, 'Golden Sparkle' is very timid most of the time, but if you get angry with it, it will peck you." Little Apple said helplessly.

"I don't have one." The little boy said, staring at her with wide eyes.

Little Apple didn't say anything, and continued to touch the Braille book with her fingers, but she was actually sensing the surrounding situation through the method of "parasitic perception". Now this perception method has given more and more feedback information, making her use more and more handy.

This little boy is the child of his father's cousin, which can be regarded as her cousin, and he came here with his brother and mother as guests today.

His brother is going to take the university entrance examination next year, and seems interested in the university and his major that Li Yang teaches, so he came to visit his relatives, pay his respects to the early years, and "consult" some situations by the way.

Now his brother, mother and Little Apple's father are chatting in the living room, while he runs to Little Apple's room to watch "Golden Sparkle".

Li Yang had a good impression of this boy in the past. He was a very obedient and obedient boy. He was very polite every time we met, and he heard good things from his mother, so I thought it would be fine for her to play with her daughter. question.

But obviously, the little boy was not as well-behaved as he appeared in front of other people. After being told by Little Apple, he still teased the "Golden Shining" in the cage with his hands, and even wanted to pull its feathers.

"Don't touch it with your hands!" Little Apple spoke again, this time with a stern tone.

After the boy withdrew his hand, he stared at Little Apple with wide eyes: "I didn't touch it, I'm sitting here looking at my phone, I haven't touched it at all!"

"Do not tell a lie."

"I'm not lying, and you can't see it, so why do you say I touched it?" While saying this, he deliberately reached out to touch Jin Yingying in the cage, but this time Jin Yingying didn't dodge, Turning around, he almost pecked his hand.

Little Apple got up, walked over and brought up the gleaming golden birdcage, and put it beside her. The whole movement was very fast, and there was no sign of visual impairment at all.

The little boy was also taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Little Apple.

Little Apple didn't have any experience with this kind of brat, so she frowned slightly, but she still didn't speak.

The little boy didn't bother with Jin Glitter anymore, his eyes wandered around Little Apple's room, and when he saw the cPu wood carving on the table, he reached out curiously to get it.

"Don't touch that." Little Apple said helplessly, then took the cPu wood carving back in advance and put it in the drawer.

The little boy stared at her with wide eyes: "You are not blind, are you?"

Little Apple ignored him.

The little boy said thoughtfully: "I see, you deliberately pretended to be blind in order not to go to school!"

Little Apple sighed helplessly, but still didn't speak.

"Lend me the piece of wood you just saw, or I'll tell uncle that you're not blind!" The little boy thought he had caught this cousin.

With the right hand in the coat pocket, Little Apple tightly held the wood carving of the little yellow man, enduring her emotions, now she only hoped that time would pass quickly and let this cousin leave quickly. She didn't want to ask her father to deal with it. Although she knew that her father would definitely support her, she would not want to see the result if she would quarrel with her relatives because of such a trivial matter, and if her father's reputation was damaged.

But the little boy didn't stop because of her silence. Instead, he stared at her and secretly reached out to open the drawer where the cPu wood carving was placed.

Through "parallel perception", Little Apple naturally detected this action, and she became a little outraged.

At this moment, an idea popped up in her mind, and the next moment, in Little Apple's field of thinking and perception, a "monster with eight arms and eight eyes" seemed to be inspired, and escaped from the prison where it was imprisoned, appearing Beside her, with her head against the ceiling, overlooking the little boy.

Little Apple raised her eyes to the little boy who was less than one meter away from her, her expression was indifferent, and her eyes were even colder, as if dark clouds were gathering and thunder was brewing.

Although she still couldn't see anything, her eyes accurately locked onto the little boy's eyes, and she had an instant "eye contact" with him.

The little boy froze for a moment, with a dull expression on his face.

In her consciousness, just before she was about to give "orders" to the "monster with eight arms and eight eyes" that appeared beside her, Little Apple suddenly remembered what Xiang Kun had said to her, and remembered what her father had said to her in the past Yin Yin taught her, the anger subsided slowly, and the "monster with eight arms and eight eyes" disappeared instantly in her perception field as if it had never appeared before.

The little boy suddenly came back to his senses, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and looked at Little Apple who was sitting "reading" in front of him in a daze, feeling a little flustered for no reason.

"Do you like to listen to cross talk? Let me tell you a cross talk." Little Apple's voice softened.

The little boy didn't know how to answer, so he nodded in a daze.

Then Little Apple began to vividly talk about a cross talk she had heard in the past, a new era cross talk with mathematics as the theme. Helping her perform this cross talk, running around in the room.

Not long ago, under Xiang Kun's deliberate guidance, Little Apple finally established a deep connection with the other 12 minion wood carvings in Xiang Kun's place through the little yellow wood carving in her hand under that special state of perception. .

Just like when she first perceived the "eight-armed and eight-eyed woodcarving", she felt that she had perceived a multi-armed monster. When she perceives the twelve wooden carvings of minions, she perceives twelve extremely joyful minions.

She knew that Xiang Kun had made so many minion wood carvings, so this perception also made Little Apple realize that the reason why she was able to perceive these various, The "monster" that didn't seem to exist in their world and dimension was probably because of Xiang Kun.

Xiang Kun was probably the gateway between those monsters and this world, and also the source of her special perception ability.

After having this idea, she found that she could no longer just perceive those "monsters", and those "monsters" could even respond to her "call" and come to her, but the duration would not be very long. For a long time, the whole process required her to maintain a high degree of attention.

Little Apple's short cross talk, in just over five minutes, made the little cousin laugh dozens of times, completely immersed in the atmosphere she created.

But this laughter also attracted Li Yang's attention in the living room outside. He also knew that his daughter didn't really like to get in touch with people he didn't know very well. So I felt that the conversation was almost over, so I cleverly proposed that I would go to the school for a meeting later, so the cousin got up wisely and prepared to leave.

After asking the youngest son to come out, his mother also asked strangely: "What did you talk about with your sister Xiaojun just now, and you smiled so happily?"

Before the little boy could answer, the little apple got up holding the blind stick and walked over to the little apple who looked like he was going to see off the guests together, but he smiled first and said: "I'm talking about some interesting things about mathematics. My little brother is really interested in mathematics." , is also very talented, my aunt can enroll him in a Mathematics Olympiad competition class during the winter vacation, buy him more reference books, and don't let him waste this talent!"

"I...I didn't..." The little boy was dumbfounded, and opened his mouth to refute, but he didn't know how to refute.

His mother was very happy to hear it, and nodded in agreement.

"At the beginning, he might back off after getting excited. Auntie, you and Uncle Jiu, as parents, must help him strengthen his confidence. Don't let him give up halfway. He will regret it later, blame you and yourself, and waste his talent." When the family of three went out, Little Apple was still talking earnestly.

Professor Li Yang also said casually: "I know that there is a Mathematics Olympiad class in your place that is well run, and several teachers are well-known throughout the country. I will send you the phone number later."

"Don't worry third brother, Xiao Jun, I will definitely not let this boy be lazy, and I will not disappoint your expectations." The mother who hoped that her son would become a dragon responded gratefully.

Behind her, the older boy was squinting at his brother with a dull expression, holding back a gloating smile.
