What It’s Like Being a Vampire

The landlord did not doubt Xiang Kun's words. He had always had a good impression of Xiang Kun.

Xiang Kun, who has been his tenant for many years, has never been late for a day's rent, and has never had other tenants complain. Even in July last year, another couple of tenants were attacked with a knife. It was still Xiang Kun." "Spiritual Soldier from Heaven" kicked the murderer away and saved the life of the young couple.

In his opinion, Xiang Kun is a man with a sense of justice and a very hard worker - just look at his bald head now, no wonder he can buy a house with such hard work.

So when Xiang Kun said that he was responsible for introducing the situation of the house to his friends, the landlord was also very relieved, and left him the key directly, and asked them to put it in the grocery store opposite when they left.

The house now looks different from when Xiang Kun lived there. After the previous tenant moved out, the landlord hired someone to clean it up, so it looked clean.

Xiang Kun told Lao Xia what kind of layout and things he had when he lived here. Then he described in detail how he entered the door, how he took off his shoes, and how he lay down on the bed and slept with his clothes on after he came back drunk that night.

And based on the traces in the room after waking up, it is speculated that the number of times of vomiting and the posture of vomiting when falling asleep.

There are also other conditions in the room after waking up, including information such as the status of doors and windows.

In fact, he himself has gone back to these situations many times, and he is basically sure that no one else entered the room during the drunken sleep, at least from the traces he could see at that time.

He also once wondered if he was bitten by some kind of bug, then it may not be necessary to open the door or window. However, through some experiments he did later, as well as his experience in dealing with multiple "mutated creatures", he obtained some memory content of other "mutated creatures" to analyze. If he is bitten by other "mutated creatures", he should not be able to be transformed. into "variant organisms".

Like some "vampire"-related film and television entertainment works, the situation where ordinary people become "vampires" after being bitten by a "vampire" will never happen.

Xia Libing listened to Xiang Kun's memories of the situation at that time, opened the window, looked around, and then turned around and asked, "How much pain did you feel when you lost your job? Use a scale of 1-10, 10 It is the highest level, unacceptable, and even wants to commit suicide."

Xiang Kun thought for a while and said, "It's true that there's a bit of pain and discomfort, but in fact it's more aggrieved and unwilling. If it's painful, it's probably less than level 4 and level 5. I don't have any thoughts of committing suicide."

"Have you ever had a similar feeling before?" Xia Libing asked again.

"If it's the level of discomfort... I've had it before. After chasing a girl and being rejected, I was also uncomfortable and aggrieved. It should be level 4." Xiang Kun recalled.

Xia Libing didn't ask the details of how he chased the girl and how he was rejected, but asked, "Did you drink at that time?"

"No, I didn't have the time to catch up with my graduation thesis. But that night, Zicheng brought a case of Coke, and we both drank fourteen cans in total, pretending to drink away our worries... The degree of discomfort was no worse than drinking Poor..." Xiang Kun couldn't help laughing, "Huh? It seems to be a bit far-fetched, do you think it has something to do with drinking? I think the possibility is very low."

Xia Libing continued to ask, "On the night of July 11th, after you drank, did you experience any emotional changes?"

Xiang Kun thought about it for a while, and said: "When I first started drinking, my mood didn't change much, I was just thinking wildly, thinking that if I didn't go to that company at the beginning, if I changed jobs two years earlier, if I realized that there was a problem with the company's development earlier, If you help the company solve the problem, will the result be different? But after drinking three cans, it will not work anymore, dizziness, nausea, pain of unemployment, discomfort, unwillingness, aggrieved, all can’t be taken care of, just want to return Sleeping at home... From this level, it really succeeded in 'borrowing away sorrow', right? Although I already regretted drinking at that time..."

Having said that, Xiang Kun also asked, "Lao Xia, have you never drunk?"

In my impression, I have never seen Lao Xia drink alcohol. When I went to Tongshi Town a few years ago, at Liu Caifu’s house, except for him and Zicheng who had to drive, most of the others drank some fruit wine, but Lao Xia still didn’t drink at all. Dip, did not drink.

Xia Libing said: "I drank it once, it's not good, it will reduce the sensitivity of taste buds, affect the taste of food, reduce reaction, and affect thinking."

Synthesizing the questions that Lao Xia asked before, Xiang Kun guessed, "Are you suspecting that my mutation may be related to the extreme changes in mood?" Indeed, for Xiang Kun himself, the day of July 11th was the biggest change. , in addition to drunkenness, it is violent mood swings.

Xia Libing said: "According to your previous hypothetical theories, some of the abilities you have demonstrated, and some phenomena we have observed, all show that your brain activity, whether it is the change of emotion or the drive of subjective consciousness, can surpass The body directly affects the surrounding environment to a certain extent. This special substance that can be directly driven by your brain activity should also be the reason why you can establish a "super-sensory connection" and "emotional injection" connection with the substance. It is you The reason for being able to obtain the "sixth sense" should also be closely related to the reason for your mutation. Since this special substance can be directly affected by brain activity, will one of the causes of your mutation be a drastic change in mood? Abnormal brain activity caused by it?"

Xiang Kun nodded: "It's a good conjecture. In fact, I have also speculated about this before." Then, he walked over to help Lao Xia close the window. Xia's voice was overheard, and he continued, "Do you still remember what I told you about the experience in the no-man's-land in the Qinling Mountains?"

Xia Libing said, "That spider?"

"Yes, that spider." Xiang Kun said: "I got a part of the memory fragments of that mutated spider. Those sensory memories are very different from human memories, but I still got a lot of information from it, some of which , let me know that it also devoured other 'mutated creatures', and that 'mutated creature' was a plant."

Xia Libing understood, nodded and said: "I see, it seems that emotional changes should not be a necessary condition for mutations to occur."

Indeed, if a plant can also become a "mutated creature", how could it have a change in "emotion" before it "mutated"? It is not true that plants can be cultivated into essence.

Xiang Kun said: "The influence of changes in consciousness and emotions that I have shown on the surrounding environment should be the special manifestation of that special substance on me, and it is the result of my guided mutation evolution. According to other From the perspective of 'mutated creatures', they don't have this ability, including Guo Tianxiang, who is also a human."

After leaving Xiang Kun's previous rented house, Xiang Kun took Xia Libing to the lake where he encountered the "giant owl" for a stroll, and described in detail the process of discovering the "giant owl" and the first time he found it. A "hand to hand" situation.

Then Xiang Kun took Xia Libing to the hill where he killed the "Giant Owl", and found exactly the place where he drank blood and fell asleep after killing the "Giant Owl", and told Xia Libing how he got from the giant owl. The information obtained in memory, and the experience and discovery of the owl's habitat search later.

When I got home, it was already past one o'clock in the morning.

Xiang Kun showed Xia Libing again what he had found and saved before, the surveillance video outside the food stall while drinking on the evening of July 11 and the surveillance video at the entrance of the convenience store outside the rented house, which gave Xia Libing a better description of him. clear visual impression.

In addition, Xiang Kun also showed Xia Libing the records of various data and images he made from the initial mutation, as well as the "vampire mutation model" he asked Alice to make.

Xia Libing created a table by himself while looking at various data.

To study the reason for Xiang Kun's mutation, the most direct way is to ask Xiang Kun to do a gene sequencing first, and then see what kind of mutations have occurred in his body and whether he has been infected with any pathogens. If it is confirmed that the mutation comes from infection, then do relevant epidemiological investigations.

However, on the one hand, there is no reliable place for sequencing, and on the other hand, Xia Libing believes that for Xiang Kun now, gene sequencing may not yield useful results—or it cannot help them determine the cause of the mutation . If Xiang Kun had just "woke up" on July 14 last year and had done the sequencing, perhaps he could have gotten more useful information. But now, after so many rounds of mutation and evolution, Xiang Kun must be very different from ordinary humans at the root. And she didn't think that Xiang Kun's changes were caused by any microorganisms or pathogens in the traditional sense.

Fortunately, Xiang Kun is not the "only" sample. He has been in contact with many "mutated creatures" before, and even obtained memory fragments of some of them. The information of these "sample" can help Xia Libing find the hidden laws and common patterns among them. point.

Xiang Kun also provided all the information he knew to Lao Xia without reservation, just like when he entered the information into the computer and asked Alice to build the "vampire mutation model".

At present, there are nine "mutated creatures" that Xiang Kun knows, at least "perceived" through various sensory methods:

"Giant Owl", Guo Tianxiang, "Mutated Spider", "Mutated Big Bird", "Mutated Ant", "Shenxing Technology" took away the "unknown mutated creature" of the rabbit woodcarving, and the surrounding "unknown mutated creature" Three "mutated creatures".

There are two other "mutated creatures" that he has not "perceived" in any way, but he has known through various channels. One is a mutant plant swallowed by a "mutated spider", and the other is what his old classmate Xie Jun said, The "horned wolf" who was once hit by their convoy.

Among them, "Giant Owl", "Mutated Spider" and Guo Tianxiang are the ones Xiang Kun knows best and has obtained the most information. After all, he has some of their memory fragments.

Xia Libing didn't go to bed until after three o'clock in the middle of the night when she started yawning again and again, and asked Xiang Kun to help her enter the dream state again, and to pull the little fat girl into the dream - this is what she promised Xiaopang at noon today. chick.

But this time the dream ended a little too soon. Xiang Kun just pulled the little chubby girl into Lao Xia's dream, and the dream collapsed.

Because the little fat girl was frightened awake...
