What It’s Like Being a Vampire

At that moment, Xiang Kun had an inexplicable intuition that made him subconsciously look out the porthole on the right.

Far away from the plane, there is a big bird moving away rapidly.

The sky is blue, the weather is good, and the range of vision is far away, but if it is a normal person, it will not be aware of or see the big bird, because it is too far away.

Even Xiang Kun couldn't see what kind of bird it was.

But he knew that if he had that intuition, there must be something wrong with that bird.

So after confirming the position of the bird, he immediately switched to the infrared thermal imaging visual mode, and he could vaguely see a very small blue dot like a dead pixel on the screen moving away rapidly, but two seconds later Even with his eyesight, he can no longer see how far the distance can be seen.

It should be a mutated bird. As for whether it is a falcon, a goose, a stork, or another big bird, or a big bird that grows from a small bird, I don't know for the time being.

For such a sudden discovery, Xiang Kun was not too surprised this time. After all, the first mutant creature he came into contact with was an owl. According to the probability, compared with human vampires, the number of other mutant creatures in the world Obviously more.

Did it happen to be passing by?

Xiang Kun built a nearby map in his mind, compared the direction the big bird flew away, and speculated where it might go.

Judging from the behavior and habits of the non-human mutant creatures he has come into contact with, they all have great vigilance against humans, know how to deliberately avoid humans, and generally do not easily enter human settlements, even in the air.

It appeared here, could it be that like the giant owl, the number of blood-drinking mutations has reached a certain level, and it needs to ingest the blood of other mutant creatures?

Xiang Kun didn't think too much about it. In a short time, he didn't have a strong interest or need to pursue this possible mutant bird.

After all, the area that the big bird may go to is too large and too difficult to predict. For this "stunning glimpse" in the sky, the possibility of finding it is too small.

After arriving at the airport, the old brother You Meng and his wife Liang Yulong drove a car, and they had been waiting for a long time.

This time they arrived in Jianzhou City directly by plane, instead of going to Zatong City first, they planned to go directly to Tongshi Town today, and the hotel booked for Tang Baona and the others was also in Tongshi Town.

After all, the next few days,

The main activity area is still in Tongshi Town and its surrounding areas.

After getting off the plane with a group of people and exiting the airport, Xiang Kun introduced Tang Baona, Yang Zhuo, Zhang Qian and others to You Meng and his wife, then went to the parking lot to divide into two sides, and got into the car driven by the two of them.

Coming to pick up the plane, You Meng naturally didn't drive his little broken bread, but borrowed a Corolla and a Sagitar.

Seeing the mountains beside the national highway, Yang Zhuo's girlfriend Xiao Min asked curiously, "Is this the hometown of Brother Xiang?"

Liang Yulong, who was driving the car, said with a smile: "Brother Xiang's hometown is in Citong City. This is Tongshi Town, which is under the jurisdiction of Jianzhou City. It takes about four hours to get there by car on the expressway. Of course, if you take a train, you may get there. I will hurry up. But according to my husband, Brother Xiang lived in Tongshi Town for a long time when he was a child, so he should be considered half of Tongshi Town."

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​opening a rabbit restaurant here?"

"My husband's family was originally in the catering industry. He started this business very early, but there has been no improvement. The rabbit meat was suggested by Brother Xiang when he came last time. The video that was leaked on the Internet before was also at that time. At that time, he was really telling us how to make a food video to promote our restaurant." Liang Yulong said honestly.

Sitting in the co-pilot seat, Zicheng sighed: "When he was in college, Xiang Kun couldn't cook at all. His cooking skills are basically at the same level as mine - instant noodles with boiling water and ham sausage, and My technique of instant noodles and the technique of peeling ham sausages are even better. I didn't expect that he stopped studying codes and started studying cooking skills, and he did it very well. I heard from Chang Bin that Xiang Kun is now His culinary skills are quite good, this time when we go to his place, we have to let him show off."

In this car, apart from Liang Yulong who had tasted the half-baked bamboo rat meat that Xiang Kun cooked last time, Zicheng, Yang Jie, Yang Zhuo, and Xiao Min in the back seat had never eaten Xiang Kun's cooking. But from Yang Zhen'er's address to Xiang Kun as "Chef Xiang", they can also have a basic guess about Xiang Kun's cooking skills, and they are looking forward to the meals in the next few days. After all, in their In my impression, Xiang Kun was omnipotent and could do everything well.

Just as Yang Zhuo and Xiao Min continued to ask Zicheng and Liang Yulong about Xiang Kun's cooking skills, the Sagitar driven by You Meng suddenly swung left and right a few times, as if drunk Generally, it will snake when walking, and gradually pull over and stop.

Fortunately, their speed was not too fast, and they were not very close. Liang Yulong braked in time to avoid rear-end collision with the car in front.

It's just that they didn't chase the car in front, but were rear-ended by the car behind.

...

A minute ago, the Sagitar driven by You Meng got on.

Xiang Kun is confirming the dinner menu with You Meng. Before coming, after confirming the people who will travel with him, he has already arranged the hotel and air tickets, and discussed with You Meng for him to pick up the plane, as well as a few people with him The general taste, what kind of taboos, what kind of eating habits, and what kind of dishes are more suitable.

Although he didn't cook for Zhang Qian, Yang Zhuo, and Yang Jie himself, he had eaten together once or twice, so he still had a basic understanding of their tastes. As for self-achievement, not to mention, he has lived in the same place since college, and he is very familiar with what this guy likes to eat.

According to Xiang Kun's instructions, You Meng has prepared all the ingredients, cut into pieces, soak in water, and marinate.

When they arrive at the place, the two of them will prepare dinner together, and prepare a few dishes each, which can speed up the speed and make the dinner more delicious.

Just listening to the discussion between the two of them, Yang Zhen'er in the back seat couldn't help swallowing, and then boasted to the curious Zhang Qian about the amazing cooking skills of "Chef Xiang".

Xiang Kun, who was discussing with You Meng whether to add a little spicy or just garlic to a certain dish, suddenly reached out and grabbed the steering wheel.

You Meng was taken aback for a moment, but before he had time to react in doubt, with a loud bang, the car body had already slammed to the left, and was about to turn left. But Xiang Kun's hands were firmly grasping the steering wheel like iron pliers, and he moved the steering wheel slightly to the right, then to the left, and then to the right, continuously and rapidly turning the steering wheel to different degrees.

At the same time, Xiang Kun also said to You Meng: "Release the accelerator, don't step on the brakes, let it slow down and pull over to the side before braking. The left rear wheel exploded. It's a small matter, ok. There is no car next to you, don't worry, you My wife's car was rear-ended by someone, and the speed is very slow, it's okay, at most the bumper has scratched the paint."

His voice was steady and slow, with no nervousness or panic at all, and his tone was no different from when he was talking about adding spicy or garlic, which made Zhang Qian, Tang Baona, and Yang Zhener in the back seat feel a little bit like they were still in the process. Just the illusion of that discussion.

And after the puncture, except for the initial shake, the body didn't experience much bumps, and it still moved slowly to the side of the road relatively steadily.

After Tang Baona and the others realized that the tire had blown out, the car had almost stopped, and there was no time to feel any panic or fear.

After the car stopped, he realized that Xiang Kun's "operation" just now was too... calm, right?

"Three distinguished guests, are you all right?" Xiang Kun turned around and asked with a smile after the car stopped.

Just now he actually saw an irregular piece of iron on the opposite lane in advance, which was knocked out when it was run over by a fast-moving muck truck, and shot at their car. After quick calculation and prediction, he speculated that The location of the hit should have been the left rear wheel.

If he is driving this car, he can control the accelerator and brake so that the piece of iron cannot hit the tires or even hit their car.

But he was sitting in the co-pilot, just a passenger, and it was too late to order You Meng by voice, so he could only help You Meng stabilize the steering wheel, and then rely on his perception of the posture of the car body, and rely on the contact friction between the tires and the road surface Judging the adhesion, quickly adjusting the body posture, and constantly pulling it back from the edge of extreme loss of control.

Fortunately, they were not on a high speed, and the speed of the car was not too fast. In addition, the rear tire was blown out instead of the driving wheel. Finally, he managed to control it very stably. The three ladies in the back seat didn't even bother. Too much feeling out of control of the body.

But the car behind Liang Yulong was rear-ended, which was a troublesome accident.

Of course, compared to the serious accident caused by their car's severe loss of control, these two minor problems are nothing more than troublesome.

...

Zicheng and Liang Yulong got out of the car to check the rear-end collision. The car behind was an Audi a8L. In fact, both cars almost stopped, and the collision was not serious.

The Corolla's rear bumper is a bit cracked and some paint is missing, and the front bumper of the a8L is also missing some paint. It doesn't seem to be a big deal.

The four people in the Audi car also got off. Except for the driver, who was a tall and strong guy in his twenties, the other three were middle-aged men who looked to be in their thirties or fifty, with a big belly and flushed faces. , reeking of alcohol.

"Have you ever passed your driver's license test? How did you drive! What the fuck!" A middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses got down from the back seat and said displeasedly while checking the damage of the a8L.

The bald-headed middle-aged man who came down from the other side of the back seat glanced at Liang Yulong and said, "Female driver, it doesn't matter if you have a driver's license or not."

Yang Jie, who also got out of the car, was very upset when she heard this. She frowned and said: "There is an emergency ahead, and we have no problem with the emergency brake! It's because you didn't keep enough distance between cars or drove too fast that you couldn't brake. Rear-end, this is all your responsibility, okay! It's obviously your problem, but you are still talking about discriminatory remarks about women, where is your quality?"

Liang Yulong glanced at their license plates, glanced at them, took Yang Jie's hand, and said in a low voice, "Don't quarrel with them, we'll call the police and report to the insurance company to deal with it."

"This young lady has an accent, isn't she a local? Did she come here to play? Oh, there are still many interesting places in Tongshi Town. I just came here for two days, and I feel a little bit overwhelmed. Are you interested in being together? Swimming together, playing together?" The bald middle-aged man was rebutted by Yang Jie, but he was not angry at all, and came forward with a smile.

There didn't seem to be any dirty words in his words, but the drunken look on his face, the lewd eyes in the ambiguous, and the frivolous tone made several people including Yang Jie couldn't help frowning, feeling extremely displeased. Comfortable.

Since the cost, I have had a good impression of Yang Jie. When I heard this, I couldn't help but stepped forward to block Yang Jie, and said to the bald middle-aged man, "Stay away from me."

"Hey? Are you this young lady's husband? If not, I'll talk to her, what's your business?" The bald middle-aged man took a step forward instead, and the two of them were close to each other.

Zicheng frowned at his alcohol smell, subconsciously pushed him: "Get away from me!"

The bald middle-aged man took a step back, and the tall driver next to him and two other middle-aged men immediately surrounded him: "Are you polite, do you know who you are talking to? Do you know who Mr. Qi is? Now that you met Mr. Qi, believe it or not, you can't get out of Tongshi Town?"

Yang Zhuo, who was already impulsive, also stood with Zicheng, looking like he was rolling up his sleeves and preparing for a fight.

Seeing a few people pushing, shoving and tugging, Liang Yulong, Yang Jie, and Xiao Min also became anxious and wanted to pull them away, but there was no way to pull them apart.

But at the next moment, another bald head suddenly appeared, forcibly inserted between several men, and forcibly separated them.

This bald head was naturally Xiang Kun. In the face of his overwhelming power, several of them were weaker than kindergarten children.

Of course, he only shot at the few people on and off the a8L. He pinched the knuckles of their fingers on the clothes of Zi Cheng and Yang Zhuo, and let them let go obediently, and then separated them directly with his strong body. open.

In just two or three seconds, the three people over there were pushed aside.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing, hey, hey..." The middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses was blocked and backed away, almost tripped, and barely stopped by clutching the driver's pants, so angry that he was drunk His flushed face turned even redder.

"Don't do anything, talk well, we are all adults, we have to be reasonable and law-abiding." Xiang Kun opened his hands slightly, looking like a peacemaker.

But the next moment, his eyes became a little deep and strange, and he directly cast his eyes on the bald middle-aged man behind the three of them, and had a momentary contact with his eyes.

When he just came over, he immediately judged that this car belonged to the middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and the driver was also his man, but the highest status among the four people in the car should be the bald middle-aged man. young people.

"Reasonable? Let me tell you, here, I am..." The middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses lifted his own glasses, poised his neck, and was about to put out his "slogan".

Suddenly, a scream full of fear came from behind them, scaring back what the gold-rimmed glasses said next, and subconsciously looked back at the bald middle-aged man behind him.

I saw the bald middle-aged man called "President Qi" looking at them with fear on his face.

Seeing them turn around, "President Qi" hurriedly opened the door and got into the car. Before getting into the car, he shouted: "Go! Go!"

The gold-rimmed glasses and his two employees looked at each other, confused.

The next moment, the car door was opened again, and the bald head of "President Qi" reappeared, and he glared at them: "Are you fucking deaf! Go! Go fucking go!!!" Although he was screaming, but The panic in his eyes was overflowing, and anyone could feel it.

Although I don't know why, but the status of "President Qi" is there, and the gold-rimmed glasses are still required of him, so he dare not neglect, turned his head and glared at Xiang Kun and the others, and then got back into the car with the driver.

But Xiang Kun walked over quickly, stood in front of the cab, and said to the gold-rimmed glasses, "You just want to go straight? Then you are hit and run!"

"You..." The gold-rimmed glasses were about to flare up again, but when he glanced at Mr. Qi sitting in the back seat who was obviously not in a normal state, he could only hold back and said to the driver: "Give him a thousand dollars! "

When the driver took out the money, Xiang Kun shook his head: "One thousand yuan is not enough. Look at the car that crashed so badly. The bumper probably needs to be replaced. It will cost three thousand yuan anyway."

"What the hell, that broken car costs three thousand for a little paint off? One thousand is enough for you to replace two bumpers!" The tall and strong driver, who is nearly 1.9 meters tall, also said angrily, walking towards Xiang Kun while talking past.

Although Xiang Kun was half a head shorter than him, he was not worried at all, and said with a smile: "Why don't you just call the police, wait for the traffic police to come and determine the responsibility, and then take the insurance. You should have three responsibilities. It depends on the insurance. Just how much."

Not far away, Yang Zhuo, Zicheng, Yang Jie, and Zhang Qian, Tang Baona and others who came from the Sagitar all looked at Xiang Kun forcibly "claiming compensation" with a look of surprise. Some couldn't understand why the few people who were so domineering and unreasonable just now gave up in front of Xiang Kun?

The gold-rimmed glasses actually didn't want to be cowardly. This is Tongshi Town. He had no reason to be cowardly, let alone in front of Mr. Qi. He glared at Xiang Kun, then at Liang Yulong and the others not far away, and looked back He said slowly: "Little brother, what's your name? You probably aren't from Tongshi Town, but there should be someone from Tongshi Town among your friends. Go and find out..."

At this time, the rear window of the a8L was lowered, and there was an angry scream: "Liu Feibao! You are fucking nagging! Hurry up and give him 3,000 yuan! Later, I will give you 30,000 yuan!"

The gold-rimmed glasses turned back puzzled, but what greeted him was Mr. Qi's ferocious, bloodshot eyes that seemed to be murderous.

He was startled, and hurriedly ordered the driver to give the money.

The tall driver wondered: "Boss, I don't have enough cash..."

"Then transfer the money!"

So the driver looked at Xiang Kun: "WeChat payment!"

Xiang Kun shook his head calmly: "I want cash, or wait for the police and insurance to come."

With gold-rimmed glasses, he looked back at Mr. Qi who was staring at him in the back seat of the car, gritted his teeth, turned around and started digging out his pockets with another employee, and finally the three of them rummaged through their pockets, and put the car in the car again. He took out the change in the glove box and the armrest box and scraped it together. He barely got two thousand and eighty cash. After Xiang Kun let Zicheng take it, he moved away from the body standing in front of the cab door.

After watching a8L leave, Yang Jie, Yang Zhener, Zicheng and others all surrounded him, and asked in surprise, "What's going on? Why does that bald boss seem to be afraid of you?"

Zicheng couldn't help but sized up his friend and said, "You don't have a hidden identity like 'talker in the underground world' or 'illegitimate son of a leader'?"

"Hide your size! You have watched too much YY!" Xiang Kun kicked Zicheng with a smile, and then said to Yang Jie and the others who were also puzzled: "You know that when two positively charged particles meet, how is it?"

"Repel each other? Why did you suddenly talk about this? What does it matter?" Yang Zhen'er was puzzled.

Xiang Kun laughed and said, "When one bald head walks towards another, they will also generate repulsion. The uglier bald head will be scared away, and the handsome one will stay. This is the bald head's repulsion theorem."

puff!

Yang Jie, a graduate student majoring in physics, originally thought that Xiang Kun had something to say, and was listening carefully, but she didn't expect him to say such a sentence in a serious manner, and she burst out laughing without holding back her emotions.

Yang Zhen'er also had a dull expression, feeling dumbfounded.

However, after Xiang Kun's disturbance, the anxiety caused by the minor accident of the two cars, and the shock caused by Mr. Qi and his party, all disappeared in one fell swoop.

After checking the Corolla's butt, after confirming that the bumper was just a little bit scratched and scratched, and there was no problem, they went to help You Meng change the spare tire.

After the two cars got back on the road, more than 40 minutes had passed since the accident, and the sky was getting dark. They had little time to cook after returning.

In the car, through perceptual information such as heartbeat, smell, and expression, and then judged by a detailed cognitive model, Xiang Kun knew that Tang Baona, Yang Zhen'er, and Zhang Qian in the back seat were in high spirits again. Because of Xiang Kun's performance, it became an interesting topic for their discussion.

In fact, when the people on the a8L just had an argument with Zicheng and Yang Jie, several solutions appeared in Xiang Kun's mind.

Rationally speaking, he should use a more conservative response plan, which can not only ensure the safety of his companions, but also avoid subsequent troubles as much as possible.

But Xiang Kun chose a slightly more radical plan in the end. His attitude was that Yang Jie, Zi Cheng and others were his friends who came to Tongshi Town to play, and they could not be wronged, even psychologically.

So after separating the two groups of people, Xiang Kun immediately gave the bald head Qi a "projection" through eye contact.

It was the "projection" he "summoned" by sensing the "eight arms and eight eyes woodcarving", a monster image derived from his fear.

Before this blood-drinking period, if Xiang Kun wants to influence other people with "projection and presence", he needs to affect people emotionally first, and then he can "open the channel" and pass on the screen that he wants to project and present. . At first, "emotional assimilation" was used, and later at Chang Bin's wedding, "spiritual shock" and "projection combined" were used to realize the "combination technique" to carry out fake "hypnosis" or coercion.

But after this blood-drinking period, Xiang Kun directly obtained the new ability she "developed" from Little Apple.

In this new ability, by sensing "emotional injection" wood carvings, the images represented by those emotions are all present, and directly forcibly projected into the target consciousness.

Because the projection obtained through the "emotional injection" target is "integrated" with its own emotions, it can directly open the "channel" to forcibly present a complete image in the target's perception system, and at the same time bring emotional influence.

After looking at Xiang Kun, Mr. Qi, the bald head, saw a two-meter-tall, terrifying monster with eight arms, eight eyes, and disgusting sarcoids appearing beside Xiang Kun.

This is not a simple projection of the woodcarved image, it is the real manifestation of Xiang Kun's original fear, without modification or beautification, terrifying and ferocious.

Mr. Qi's first reaction must have been that he drank too much alcohol and saw hallucinations. He had an unreal feeling of illusion, but the next moment the monster walked in front of him and raised his hand to hold his bald head. The smell, the touch on the top of the head, the strong sense of oppression and the fear in his heart all gave him an extremely strong and shocking sense of reality.

The monster gave him the most direct threat with a voice that seemed to be talking while chewing a piece of meat, coercing him into the car, and then sat with him in the back seat, the huge body almost completely filling the back seat When it was full, he could even feel that the chassis of the car sank significantly due to the huge weight.

All in all, not only the fear of monsters, the doubts about one's own senses and one's own existence, but also the deep-seated fear that the body is rapidly decaying from the inside out.

He just wants to get rid of these, just want to leave as soon as possible, just want to confirm whether he is alive, or in a nightmare, or already in purgatory.

The projection of the "monster with eight arms and eight eyes" was only aimed at Mr. Qi, and the others didn't feel it.

The middle-aged man named Liu Feibao wearing gold-rimmed glasses is obviously a relatively powerful person in the local area.

Naturally, Xiang Kun wanted to prevent him from retaliation afterwards, not from their retaliation against him, but against You Meng, Liang Yulong and the others.

He believed that he could do this through the influence of Mr. Qi, but just to be on the safe side, when he separated Liu Feibao and others from Zicheng and Yang Zhuo, he secretly stuffed a "super sensory connection" ball in the In the pocket of Liu Feibao's coat.
