What It’s Like Being a Vampire

On the night of the twelfth lunar month two years ago, Guo Lin's father, Mr. Guo, suffered a heart attack and fell to the ground at the station. He was later rescued and sent to the hospital.

When Guo Lin rushed to the hospital, the old man had already woken up, but he kept talking about seeing a "gatekeeper" at the time of life and death. The implication behind his words was that he had seen the world after death, and believed that Guo Lin had already My late mother is also in that world now.

Guo Lin knew that his father was a soldier and had a very tough character. He never believed in these strange things. To be able to say those words showed that he saw some hallucinations at the time of life and death, and it left a very deep impression on him.

It is not surprising that there is great terror between life and death, and there will be some hallucinations that subvert past perceptions.

Today, when he saw the picture on his old classmate's phone and listened to the hallucinations he had mentioned about the suspects in the two cases, Guo Lin instinctively thought of the "gatekeeper" described by his father.

Because whether it was the picture on his old classmate’s cell phone or the description of the monster by the suspect in the two cases just now, it reminded him that he had one thing in common with the “gatekeeper” his father called him—many arms.

This gave him an inexplicable idea: could the hallucination his father saw between life and death, the so-called "gatekeeper", be the same as what Lao Xu said the suspects in the two cases saw? A thing?

Compared to Guo Lin, Chu Xiuwen knew much more information.

When he sent Zhou Yiqing away, he met Xiang Kun by chance. From Zhou Yiqing's words, he deduced that Xiang Kun was the one who saved Mr. Guo at the station on the night of the 29th.

Recalling the situation where Liu Feibao said that Qi Haoguo might have been "scared" before, he connected the two things together. He felt that what Mr. Guo saw during his life and death, and what scared Qi Haoguo, should all be related to Xiang Kun. .

Especially a few days ago, before the Lantern Festival, he met Qi Haoguo in Tongshi Town. The latter purchased a property in Tongshi Town. When he and Liu Feibao came to visit, they happened to meet the staff moving various furniture into the house. Room.

When several staff were unpacking and placing some items, Qi Haoguo, who was sitting in the living room chatting with them, suddenly became angry and scolded the staff who were unpacking.

Chu Xiuwen noticed that inside the box that the staff opened was a wooden sculpture over a foot high. He could vaguely see that the wooden sculpture had many arms and multiple eyes on its head, which looked inexplicably weird.

However, under Qi Haoguo's scolding, the staff hurriedly put the box back together, and then moved it to the bedroom upstairs of the mansion according to his instructions - Qi Haoguo said that he wanted to play with the wood carving himself.

No one else can touch it.

In the following chat, Chu Xiuwen mentioned the wooden sculpture inadvertently, but Qi Haoguo brushed it off casually and did not want to talk about it at all.

On the way back, Liu Feibao told him "mysteriously" that the wood carving was made by Qi Haoguo after he met Xiang Kun and his group years ago. He took Qi Haoguo to find a wood carving master in the provincial capital, and the image and all the details of the wood carving were , all determined by Qi Haoguo.

If it were years ago, Chu Xiuwen would have thought more about Qi Haoguo's own mental state after hearing Liu Feibao's words. But after the year, with some information later found out for comparison, he had more guesses.

And tonight, after listening to the two cases that Xu Zhao told interesting stories and the picture, Chu Xiuwen felt like a flash of lightning flashed in his heart, connecting the clues together, making him feel that he was about to... Close to the truth. But when he thought about it carefully, he found that there was still a lot of fog around him, making it difficult to see clearly.

One of the two cases Xu Zhao talked about happened in Yungang District, Citong City. Xiang Kun was also in Citong City during that time, so it is very possible that it is related to him.

But another case happened in another city thousands of miles away from Citong, and it happened on the night of the first day of the first lunar month, when Xiang Kun was still in Citong.

Or, that "monster with many arms" is not only related to Xiang Kun, but can have influence all over the country?

Then he thought about what happened to these people who seemed to have seen the "multi-armed monster"?

In the two cases Xu Zhao mentioned, there were a total of six criminal suspects. Although the crimes they committed were different and the specific circumstances were different, they were all undoubtedly doing bad things and breaking the law;

Although he didn't know much about Qi Haoguo before, some of Qi Haoguo's businesses were more or less illegal and he made huge profits by playing around with the law. However, he was inexplicably "scared" in Tongshi Town. Later, after he returned, the related businesses were still very profitable, but he kept them all or transferred them out. He even came to Tongshi Town and invested real money in many purely public welfare projects;

Mr. Guo, on the other hand, had a heart attack and was in critical danger. He only vaguely saw the multi-armed monster between life and death, and he was the least affected.

Judging from these incidents, if the "multi-armed monster" they saw really exists, its logic of action is to save lives and heal the wounded, punish rape and eradicate evil, and encourage people to do good!

Is this because the monster is a "good monster", or is it because the person behind it is controlling and guiding it? Like Xiang Kun? For example, the official behind Xiang Kun?

Or, this is Xiang Kun's "official background".

There are many people like Xiang Kun all over the country. These "multi-armed monsters" are helping the authorities to do things that they are too late or difficult to handle.

No wonder Chu Xiuwen couldn't find relevant information at all through his own connections. This was a completely different field that couldn't be disclosed to ordinary people.

No wonder even people like Ji Hang had such a tone and attitude after the investigation.

Although he had a vague guess about the truth of the matter and saw a vague outline, it was as if he opened a door and found another world full of fog. The more he knew, the more problems he had. many.

Xu Zhao looked at the two old classmates and asked strangely: "Why do you two look like this?"

Chu Xiuwen came to his senses first and said with a smile: "I think the painting is quite good. Officer Xiao Zhao's classmate is quite artistic." He did not tell anyone his judgment or the information he knew. People, including Guo Lin, Liu Feibao, and other relatives and friends. Since the official did not let the relevant information leak out, and since most people in the system do not know it, there must be a reason and reason. If he rashly reveals it, it is hard to say what the consequences will be.

Guo Linze said: "You know what happened to my old man who fainted at the station gate before? Later, Xiuwen and I went to the hospital to see him. He told us that when he was unconscious, he saw a 'door', 'door' There is a 'gatekeeper' with many arms in front of you... When I saw this picture on your phone, I thought of the 'gatekeeper' he was talking about."

Xu Zhao said: "Most people in our country believe in Buddhism. In Buddhism, there are many images with three heads, six arms and many arms. It is normal."

Guo Lin shook his head: "My old man doesn't believe in Buddhism."

But they didn't discuss the issue much.

Xu Zhao suddenly remembered something and turned back to Chu Xiuwen and asked: "By the way, Xiuwen, what's going on in Tongshi Town recently? Why do we in Citong have so many big bosses who want to invest in Tongshi Town, and there are others I was asked if there was any official policy inclination and support for Tongshi Town. How could I know? I asked my friends in the city government, but they had never heard any relevant information.

“But it is true that a lot of money is flowing to Tongshi Town, not only from your own wealthy people in Tongshi Town, but also from the provincial capital, there are also large groups, large enterprises, and even from other provinces.

"Xiuwen, you are from Tongshi Town and have connections in the province. You are well-informed. Will the province take any action against Tongshi Town in the future?"

Chu Xiuwen shook his head and said, "I don't have exact information." This is indeed true. He has asked friends in the province, but they have never been exposed to relevant policy documents or even heard any rumors.

But after saying that, he changed the subject: "But regardless of whether there are policies or not, our Tongshi Town should indeed develop. My initial view and that of some local friends is to focus on tourism-related industries first. And as far as I know Judging from the situation, there is indeed a large amount of capital planning to enter Tongshi Town. You know the Haoguo Group, right? If a general trend is really formed, in this case, even if there is no policy, the policy will be brought. "

Guo Lin also said: "So I also plan to go to Tongshi Town with Xiuwen to see if there is a suitable opportunity, and also plan to hitch a ride. I heard from Xiuwen that Qi Haoguo, the boss of Haoguo Group, passed away in the third grade of junior high school. He went to Copperstone Town and bought a mansion there, planning to live there permanently. He is not a local, so if he is not really optimistic about it, he will definitely not do this. "

Xu Zhao nodded suddenly, but was still a little confused: "In addition to tourism, what else can be developed in Tongshi Town? But if it is tourism, Wu Shushan next to it is so famous that it is difficult to divert it, right? What can Tongshi Town have? Are there resources that can be obtained and promoted?”

Chu Xiuwen did not answer this question. Although he knew what Liu Caifu and Xiang Kun wanted to do in Chongyun Village and the projects they wanted to develop, he always felt that these things seemed to be just a cover, and the real purpose behind them might be related to that " "Multi-armed monster" and official intentions.

Qi Haoguo brought a large amount of funds to Tongshi Town and launched many public welfare projects. Perhaps it was not because of advanced news or profit-driven, but to complete the tasks assigned by the official. Other related capital may also have the influence of relevant official forces behind it.

But no matter what their ultimate goal is, so much capital entering Tongshi Town will definitely bring about the prosperity and development of Tongshi Town. They, the people of Tongshi Town, will definitely benefit, especially with Liu Caifu and Liu Caifu. You Meng and others who are bound to Xiang Kun are together.

…

Naturally, Xiang Kun didn't know that Chu Xiuwen had actually imagined a huge network and an official secret organization based on various fragments of information.

At around eleven o'clock in the evening, he used the chopsticks beside Lao Xia to guide the dream to success.

Later, Lao Xia "awakened" in the dream, and then entered the "conscious world" in the dream. Through the black circle graffiti in the "vampire patient" ward, he guided and constructed a "dream within a dream".

With the help of Lao Xia's perception, Xiang Kun discovered that the "vampire patient's" dream was inside a dimly lit castle.

However, after following Lao Xia for a walk, Xiang Kun was sure that this castle must have been imagined by the "vampire patient" himself, because the internal structure of the castle completely violated the rules of space, consisting of a corridor and a The room repeats itself.

The "Vampire Patient" was wearing a long black dress with a bit of Gothic style, sitting elegantly by the fireplace, shaking the goblet in his hand, which was filled with red viscous liquid.

The "vampire patient" had extremely white skin and looked much more beautiful than the photos she found in Alice. It was obvious that she had used strong PS effects to beautify herself.

In front of the "vampire patient" is a handsome man with a pair of sharp fangs. This man's appearance is basically the same as the "vampire patient" who appeared in the dream that caused the "vampire patient" in the past.

After the two people "drinked" together for a while, they hugged each other. You bit me, I bit you, and they touched each other with both hands, as if they were going to do something inappropriate for children.
