What It’s Like Being a Vampire

At the airport, after Xia Libing replied to WeChat, he put his phone in his pocket and continued to look at the black soft leather notebook in his hand.

However, this notebook is neither the one she used to record her own situation and behavioral patterns, nor the two notebooks she later used to record Xiang Kun's mutation and observations during his sleep period with special symbols. It is an obviously smaller A6-sized notebook. notebook.

What is recorded in the notebook is that Xiang Kun perceived Lao Xia Ju's "Napoleon Cake" in a "supersensory state" a few days ago. Through his "compilation", the cognitive information that cannot be perceived with traditional sensory abilities was put through "Description" by "Black Circle Graffiti".

The "black circle graffiti" that Xiang Kun made before was basically just an outline of the cognitive information he perceived. He recorded whatever came to mind, so it was very fragmented.

But this time, he tried to describe Lao Xia Juxian's "Napoleon cake" through black circle graffiti, focusing only on this object.

But just like the last time he sensed the "mutated creature" holding the rabbit wooden carving in his "supersensory state", Lao Xiaju's "Napoleon cake" continued to be sensed, like a layer cake or a matryoshka doll. The same, layer after layer, endless, seemingly endless.

So Xiang Kun finally painted all 74 pages of the A6 notebook with black circles and graffiti, and he did not fully describe the cognitive information of "Napoleon Cake" - or according to his judgment, it was impossible to fully describe it. , may be related to the fact that it is an item that appears through "super-connected objects".

He drew this whole book of "black circle graffiti" on the co-appearance Napoleon cake. The main purpose was to help Lao Xia further understand the ability of "fantasy co-appearance", analyze the essence of co-appearance objects, and use this to find The relationship and essence between "emotional objects" and "super-connected objects", and the development of more methods to apply the "super-sensory object system".

Although she could tell that these circles and arcs had some kind of hidden pattern in the various black circle graffiti that Xiang Kun gave to Xia Libing before, and were not graffiti, the specific pattern was hard to see.

Even if Xiang Kun later told her the meaning of those arcs, she had no way to correspond to them. After all, the perception in the "supersensory state" was difficult for other people who did not have this kind of perception ability to understand, and even Xiang Kun could not understand it. Kun's own understanding of that cognitive information is still very limited.

Now this 74-page "black circle graffiti" notebook is all describing an object, and it is an object that Lao Xia himself "appeared". This makes it easier for Lao Xia to understand and analyze relevant cognitive information. .

However, after just getting this small notebook filled with drawings, Lao Xia read it for a long time, used various methods to analyze and summarize the characteristics, and consulted Xiang Kun at any time who created the expression method of black circle graffiti, but he still couldn't figure it out. Come up with clues to understand these circles and arcs.

The opportunity came last night, or should I say early this morning.

While Xia Libing was keeping vigil for the sleeping Xiang Kun, while flipping through the black-circled graffiti notebook she had replaced with "CAKE01" and actually "discovering" the "Napoleon Cake", she suddenly felt something in her heart.

She seems to have established a special connection with the 74 black circle graffiti on the booklet in her hand, but she has never been able to concretely and practically perceive the impact of this connection on herself.

Xia Libing kept trying, and finally discovered that when she imagined the process of "co-appearing" Napoleon cake in her consciousness, and then imagined herself as her own "Napoleon cake", she could easily follow this connection, Immerse yourself in a very strange world of consciousness.

In that world of consciousness, she experienced an unprecedented perception - but she still knew very well that this was not the "sixth sense" described by Xiang Kun, nor was it entering a "supersensory state", because this kind of perception was still It is also based on the cognition of the other five senses.

Recalling Xiang Kun's description of the process by which "Little Apple" perceived the emotional projection of the "eight-armed and eight-eyed wood carving" that she had never seen before and didn't even know existed through the "emotional objects" in her hands, Xia Libing guessed , you may also be able to perceive other "emotional objects" through this special sense, through this world of consciousness, and even in this way, you can perceive other "emotional objects" that can establish contact with or be affected by "emotional objects". "Notes" affect people emotionally.

Xia Libing experienced that feeling very seriously, just like a person who went into the water for the first time. Instead of exploring the water, he first learned to tread water and learn to swim.

This discovery made Xia Libing realize that the "black circle graffiti" created by Xiang Kun expresses cognitive information in a "supersensory state". Although it is "visible" on the surface, it is a "symbol" and " Code", but in fact, because of the specificity of the information it expresses, the best way to "understand" is to establish connections and perceptions.

In other words, the 74 pages of black circle graffiti in this "CAKE01" notebook are not for looking at, but for "using".

She also knew that the reason why she suddenly became associated with the black circle graffiti during this time period should be related to Xiang Kun's mutation during his sleep period.

This notebook was drawn by Xiang Kun before he drank blood and fell into sleep. When Xia Libing got it, it had not yet been officially converted into an "emotional injection item."

It was not until Xiang Kun drank blood and fell asleep that the transformation process was completely completed. It was also at this time that she established a relationship with this "emotional relationship" through the "common object Napoleon cake" she "described". "Injection" deep connection.

After Xiang Kun woke up and learned about this situation, he also believed that Lao Xia's perception of the "love object" connection was somewhat similar to that of "Little Apple", but Lao Xia had not yet "explored" other "love objects" ".

Of course, it is also possible that Lao Xia and "Little Apple" are not in the same "network", or the "port" and "protocol" connected to "Qingzhuwu" are not the same.

The specific details will depend on Lao Xia's subsequent exploration.

After arriving at the airport, because the plane was late and delayed, Xia Libing spent several hours in the waiting room, frequently entering the world of consciousness through "CAKE01", practicing the ability to control his senses in it, and then further explore. .

Xia Libing also discovered that when she was immersed in this state, her consciousness would not be affected by physical fatigue. That is to say, in that state, she would not be disturbed by sleepiness and her thinking could remain at a high level. Activity.

And during that process, the body seems to be in a semi-resting state and consumes less.

Therefore, after Xiang Kun's 25 hours of sleep this time, her physical fatigue was much less than the previous two times, and her sleepiness was also much reduced.

Therefore, after Xia Libing entered the world of consciousness through "CAKE01", she was not only perceiving and exploring, but also dealing with issues that she would need to think about under normal circumstances.

She was even thinking about whether to use this method to replace part of her sleep time in the future? In this case, wouldn't she have a lot more time to think and work?

Especially in the future, this method will be very useful when keeping a "night vigil" on Xiang Kun who is in a blood-drinking sleep period. Let alone 25 hours, 48 ​​hours should be fine. In the "conscious world", she can leave at any time and "awake" at any time. There will be no delay in detecting Xiang Kun's sleep data. She has a very high degree of freedom.

In fact, when he was able to have "lucid dreams", Xia Libing once considered whether he should have "lucid dreams" after falling asleep in the future and work, think and study in "lucid dreams"?

But this idea was quickly rejected by her, because it would require binding Xiang Kun to perform dream perception at the same time, which was equivalent to "hijacking" Xiang Kun for a period of time. If the combined time efficiency of the two people was considered, it would not be possible. Well worth it.

And she also found that if Xiang Kun simply triggered a dream through "Emotional Injection Object", the quality of her sleep would not have much impact, but if she introduced "Super Connected Object" projection and then entered the "Lucid Dream" state, It would still have some impact on sleep, which was one of the reasons why she had so many dark circles under her eyes during this period and didn't get enough sleep. Of course, the main reason was that she had to stay vigil for Xiang Kun three times during the blood-drinking slumber period.

But now this method of entering the "conscious world" through "CAKE01" has allowed her to discover a way to obtain a better thinking state and thinking time.

In the past, Xia Libing's most common thoughts were the reasons why he was unable to perceive most normal emotions, how to perceive normal emotions, observing and summarizing other people's behavioral patterns and emotional expressions, and then thinking about how to imitate these expressions.

But now, Xia Libing's thinking is basically related to Xiang Kun's mutation, his mutation reasons, mutation characteristics, related "super-sensory item system", and the characteristics of each "developer" under this system. etc.

As for matters related to her own emotions, she leaves them directly to Xiang Kun. In a short period of time, she can experience various different emotions through Xiang Kun's "emotional assimilation". If she wants to obtain permanent emotional experience in the long term, she should place her hope in Understand and apply Xiang Kun's various abilities.

Just like Xiang Kun's "super-sensory item system", if she can obtain the emotions contained in all Xiang Kun's "emotional injection items" and can call them at any time, then in a sense, she can be regarded as having the emotional perception of a normal person. Able.

So Xia Libing knew that at this stage, her demands were basically the same as Xiang Kun's.

Now, Xia Libing, who was sitting in the terminal and in the "conscious world", stopped to perceive and explore, and the question he was thinking about was the cause of Xiang Kun's mutation.

Although in the past two weeks, she had obtained Xiang Kun's relevant experiences before and after the mutation on July 11, the memory fragments of other "mutated creatures" compiled by Xiang Kun, and even went to the habitat of the "giant owl" together. Field trips.

But after two weeks, she became more and more confused about the reason for Xiang Kun's mutation.

When we went to the "Giant Owl" habitat before, Xiang Kun carried all the food, water, supplies, tents, sleeping bags, tools needed for survival in the wild, etc., while Xia Libing carried lighter bags. Xiang Kun carried her backpack on her chest most of the time while traveling in the mountains.

Because Xiang Kun's strength and endurance far exceed that of ordinary people, it is most efficient for him to carry it. Even on the way, Xiang Kun joked that he would have gotten a backpack for Xia Libing to squat in, so that he would definitely be traveling faster than the two of them on foot.

Xia Libing also knew that the last time Xiang Kun came to explore this area, he basically didn't bring anything with him, because he basically didn't need to eat, rest, or sleep when he wasn't drinking blood. His physical fitness and His sensory abilities are far beyond those of ordinary people, he can see at night, and he has the ability to deter wild beasts and mosquitoes, so he doesn't need to bring anything or tools at all.

Now it has evolved so many more times than when I came last time. All qualities are stronger, and there are many new abilities. In the wild, it is not even about adaptability and survivability, but rather dominance—— Except for other "mutated creatures", there should be no creature in the forest that is stronger than him. In theory, he can even rely on his "mental shock" ability to coerce and drive some animals to a certain extent.

With Xiang Kun's care, Xia Libing lived a comfortable life in the wild. Basically, Xiang Kun could prepare everything. Xiang Kun was always on duty when he went to bed at night, so he didn't have to worry about being infested by wild beasts or mosquitoes.

Observing the difference between Xiang Kun and himself, or in other words, ordinary people, Xia Libing also had a question.

With such a huge gap between his capabilities and ordinary humans, why is Xiang Kun's appearance still no different from ordinary humans?

Other mutant creatures, such as "giant owl", "mutated spider", "mutated big bird", "mutated ant", "horned wolf", etc., their appearance is based on their habitat, survival needs, and direction of mutation. Made a big difference.

But the two humans, Xiang Kun and Guo Tianxiang, maintained their human forms after mutating.

It can also be said that Guo Tianxiang has relatively few mutations, and the abilities he evolved are relatively metaphysical. They basically affect through sound and visual contact, and it can also be said that they have little to do with the human form.

But Xiang Kun has so many abilities that he has mutated and evolved. In Xia Libing's opinion, Xiang Kun now has a pair of antennas growing on his head, which is more reasonable than Xiang Kun who still has no major changes.

Xia Libing then speculated that just as "supersensory connection" and "emotional injection" are directly related to consciousness, the mutation factor X should also be linked to the consciousness of "mutated creatures".

Xiang Kun and Guo Tianxiang live in human society and have the need to integrate into society, so they are unwilling to change their forms. No matter how big the mutation is, it must be carried out on the basis of human appearance. Creatures such as "owls", "spiders", "ants", and "big birds" do not have the psychological consciousness to maintain their appearance at all, and they mutate as much as possible to maximize their evolved abilities.

After discussing her speculation with Xiang Kun, Xiang Kun said that he had come to the same conclusion a long time ago, and his training methods for guiding the direction of mutation and evolution had also been adjusted accordingly.

But today, after Xia Libing recalled the details of the discussion with Xiang Kun and the information about other "mutated creatures", another idea came to his mind.

Even if mutation factor A project that is too complex, a huge project full of too many variables.

Then why is mutation factor

The various microscopic tissues that make up living things are like countless different types of soldiers. If you are an airborne commander, even if you have a letter of appointment and the right to command, there are still many problems when it comes to actually commanding and conducting overall large-scale operations. There may be situations such as insufficient understanding of soldiers' abilities or insufficient execution of orders by soldiers.

If the mutation factor is external, how can it control the mutation of various living creatures so precisely?

Xia Libing couldn't help but guess that maybe X itself existed in the body of the "mutated creature". It was not an "airborne" commander, but a commander "promoted" from ordinary soldiers?

Even, not only "mutated organisms", but all organisms have X in their bodies, but it has not been "activated" and has not become the driving force for mutation?

This may also explain why "mutated organisms" need to devour the "blood" of other organisms after feeling hungry before each mutation and evolution - perhaps, this is to supplement X?

…

In the waiting hall, next to Xia Libing, who was looking down at the "CAKE01" notebook, a seat away, a handsome middle-aged man in fashionable and avant-garde clothes glanced at her from the corner of his eye from time to time.

It was obvious that the handsome man had a strong interest in this girl with ponytail, extremely beautiful appearance and unique temperament - in fact, there were several men secretly looking at Xia Libing in the terminal.

But it was obvious that this handsome man was an action man. After observing for a while, he straightened his clothes, stood up, sat down next to Xia Libing very naturally, and then glanced at him seemingly casually. Xia Libing opened the black circle graffiti on his notebook and said, "This painting looks like an abstract expressionist style? Beauty, did you paint this? Ah, sorry to bother you, I used to be in New York I have been to a gallery, so I have done some research on paintings, and I am very happy to see you..."

Xia Libing, who was looking down at his notebook, slowly raised his head and then slowly turned to look at him.

The handsome man had what he thought was the most charming smile on his face and was about to introduce himself to Xia Libing, but suddenly he discovered that this pony-tailed beauty's eyes were blank and lifeless, her eyes were completely unfocused, her eyes were open, but there was something about it. Not looking, not thinking about anything, as if she was not here at all.

This feeling made the handsome man feel cold in his heart, and his smile froze on his face. Although the pony-tailed beauty's facial features were still delicate and beautiful, her eyes and overall state made him a little creepy.

"Um...ah, I'm sorry to bother you...I'm presumptuous..." The handsome man returned to his original position without waiting for Xia Libing's reply. He sat there for a few seconds, then picked up his bag and moved to the side. One person.

Xia Libing slowly turned around and continued to look at the notebook in his hand, but his eyes gradually became focused.

She had been in the "conscious world" just now, and her body was actually in a semi-sleep state. Although her eyes were open, there was actually no visual input.

The handsome man just came over to speak to her, and because of the content, her subconscious knew that he was speaking to her, but her consciousness had not yet completely separated from the "conscious world", so her body reacted first and turned her head away.

She really didn't mean to scare people this time...

But that’s okay, it saves you the effort of dealing with it.

Xia Libing yawned, continued to droop his head, and entered the "conscious world" to "make up for his sleep" in this way.
