What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Tang Baona's home.

The sofa and coffee table in the living room were filled with various printed documents. Tang Baona was sitting on the sofa, flipping through some of the documents, while frowning and thinking about the notebook on her lap.

As for Yang Zhen'er, it was rare for him to take the initiative to pack the tableware, and even took it to the kitchen to wash.

After tidying up the kitchen, Yang Zhen'er came over, took a small sofa and sat down on the side of the tea table, propped his chin with both hands, and frowned.

Tang Baona, who was busy, couldn't help but look up at her friend who lived together. When Yang Zhener was beside her, it was normal for her to chatter and talk non-stop. She could easily ignore what she should do, but it was not normal for her to be quiet. , she can't help but pay attention.

"What are you thinking?" Tang Baona finally couldn't help asking.

Yang Zhen'er seemed to be waiting for a friend to ask questions, and immediately replied: "It's not right!"

"What's wrong?" Tang Baona asked strangely.

"Chef Xiang, something is wrong." Yang Zhen'er said, "I asked Chef Xiang on WeChat in the afternoon, and he said that he hadn't been to Tongshi Town yet, and he is still in Zaitong City."

"Well, what then? What's wrong with this?" Tang Baona asked.

"When he was going back, didn't he say he was going to discuss the 'Youlong Hotel'?" Yang Zhen'er said.

Tang Baona was puzzled: "He went to Erythronia last night, isn't it normal to stay at home for two days before going to Tongshi Town?"

Yang Zhen'er said, "Nana, what day is it today?"

"What date?" Tang Baona took out her phone and glanced, "February 14, the 21st of the first month, Friday, oh, Valentine's Day?"

"That's right, Valentine's Day! If the matter in Tongshi Town is not urgent, why doesn't Chef Xiang stay after Valentine's Day?" Yang Zhen'er said, "He should take advantage of this day to invite you Let's go out and play, I invite you to dinner!"

Tang Baona stared wide-eyed: "About... Why do you ask me out?! I'm not his girlfriend..."

Yang Zhen'er squinted at her friend, with an expression of "you continue to pretend", after a while, she said to herself again: "Could it be that Chef Xiang knows your ostrich personality, if you stay on such a special day If not, it’s not suitable for me not to ask you out, but I’m afraid that you won’t agree, and I’m afraid of embarrassment, so I simply excused the incident in Tongshi Town and ran away first? Hey, looking at it this way, they belong to the same ostrich family as you!”

"Hump your head!" Tang Baona couldn't bear it anymore, picked up a stack of documents beside her and threw it at her friend.

Yang Zhen'er tilted her head quickly, and was hit right on the forehead, and rolled from the sofa pier to the ground with a wow.

Tang Baona was speechless, she just threw it casually to scare Yang Zhen'er, but she didn't expect this girl to "dodge flexibly" and directly received the move with her face.

Fortunately, it's all paper, and it doesn't take much force, so it shouldn't hurt if you smash it.

But Yang Zhen'er rubbed her forehead and sat up, she didn't rush over to "fight" like before, but sat in a daze, Tang Baona couldn't help worrying, she got up and reached out to touch her head: "What's wrong, the blow was too heavy? "

Yang Zhen'er simply leaned her forehead on Tang Baona's hand, let her rub it for her, and then said thoughtfully: "Nana, have you noticed that Chef Xiang will 'lose contact' every few days?" A day or two?"

Tang Baona realized that there was nothing wrong with Yang Zhen'er's forehead, so she deliberately put it on her own hand, then pushed her away with her backhand, frowned and said, "What's missing, Xiang Kun sometimes has to be busy with his own affairs, so he can't eat or drink together. Play, it's normal."

"It's not normal, Nana. When we met Chef Xiang, his original company had just closed down and he didn't go to work. Why are there so many things to do?"

"At that time, he didn't know us well, so of course he didn't play together often. Besides, he also had a lot of things to do.

For example, for games, like the current game, he actually started working on it very early on. Do you still remember the voice reading system? " Tang Baona said.

But Yang Zhener said to himself: "When we went to play with the chef later, he often said that he was on a business trip, and he was not in the service area or turned off when calling him. But after I talked with Zhang Qian, that part Time Chef Xiang is working on their company's project, she can't find Chef Xiang at all, neither the people in their company nor the team they work with have ever met Chef Xiang, it's very strange..."

"It's possible that he took on other jobs at the same time, and he's going to work with people face to face in other places." Tang Baona guessed.

"Also, we sent him a message on WeChat or called him. He often came back at noon or afternoon, and then said that he overslept and didn't see it. But you still remember that we went to Tongshi Town together When playing? Chef Xiang is a person who can go out to run and exercise early in the morning when playing in other places and staying in a hotel, how can he often sleep so late?" Yang Zhener talked more and more energetically, recalling while talking.

"This is also normal. Sometimes I stay up all night in order to complete the work, watch movies, play games, etc. What's so difficult to understand... No, really, your guesses and conjectures are all right. What do you want to express?" Tang Baona asked strangely.

"Have you seen Liu Chuang's group photo with Brother Bin and Chef Xiang when he was in college in the game group? Do you feel that Chef Xiang has changed a lot now?"

"It's okay. After all, it's been so many years since I graduated from college. I just lost my hair and got stronger. Now I have fitness." Tang Baona said.

"It's not just a comparison with the university...Brother Bin also said that after not seeing Chef Xiang for a few months, he suddenly changed." Yang Zhen'er shook his head and said, "I'm wondering if Chef Xiang changed after the company closed down. I suddenly had an adventure, joined some special organization, and then changed drastically. This organization may require members to perform tasks secretly every time, so Chef Xiang often disappears and loses contact. After completing the task, Chef Xiang can acquire special abilities, such as cooking and woodcarving... Hey, will Chef Xiang return to Erythia this time, not for the restaurant, but to execute the 'secret character'?"

"Task your head!" Tang Baona quickly stretched out her hand and flicked her forehead, and scolded: "A secret organization that teaches people to cook and woodcarving? You have time to make up your mind, why don't you help me look at these documents together, tomorrow We have to have a meeting with Zhang Qian, Lawyer Liang and the others, so we can't just think about everything, we made an agreement with Xiang Kun before, and the two of us negotiated with Zhang Qian on his behalf."

Yang Zhen'er rubbed her forehead and looked at her innocently: "Didn't it be agreed before? I will cook, I will clean up, I will wash the dishes, and then you will read those documents, and then what to say and how to do tomorrow will be up to you." You're the only one who follows the lead, and I just have to say 'me too'?"

"What are you cooking for? Aren't you an orderer? Isn't cleaning just packing up the lunch box and throwing it into the trash can? There are only two soup bowls, one spoon, and two pairs of chopsticks to wash? Hey, anyway, you are now If you have nothing to do, help me take a look, anyway, you have done financial work for so many years." Tang Baona said.

"I don't have anything to do, I have too many things to do... I asked Chef to play a game, if he doesn't agree, maybe he is really carrying out some 'secret mission', by the way, do you think Chef will Will you secretly have a relationship in Erythrina, and you are dating someone now? Well, this should still be impossible, Chef Xiang doesn't seem like a playful person." Yang Zhen'er said, and really picked up her phone to send Xiang Kun a WeChat message Come.

A few minutes later, after receiving Xiang Kun's reply, Yang Zhen'er became excited again, held the phone screen in front of Tang Baona, and said, "Nana, look, I guessed right, and said to the chef, 'I have something to do tonight. '! With his character, if it's something about work or family, he will definitely say it directly, but he only said 'something', but didn't say anything, there must be ghosts! He must be doing something. Let us know the secret!"

Tang Baona gave her a blank look, and raised her hand to rub her hair: "If you don't help me, don't bother me, okay, go play in the room by yourself?"

Yang Zhen'er was lying on the sofa next to her with her mobile phone in her arms, and put her legs up on the backrest. While typing, she muttered something: "No, I have to tell Lao Xia about this situation, and let Lao Xia stare at Xiang Da. kitchen."

After Yang Zhen'er sent a few WeChat messages to her cousin, she confessed: "Old Xia, you must find a way to find a chef to come out for supper at night, and the task of spying on the military situation will be entrusted to you!"

After a while, Xia Libing's reply came, it was a panda sleeping Zzz expression.

"Don't sleep! Raise a sister for a thousand days, use a sister for a while, today is the time for you to repay my dear cousin! Go and help me find the chef's movements!"

After a while, the reply was still a panda Zzz expression.

"This is a major matter related to your sister Nana's happiness, don't go to sleep, listen to me, be good!"

Reply unchanged, still panda Zzz.

Naturally, Yang Zhen'er didn't know that at this time in Zaitong City, in Xia Libing's rented house, it was Xiang Kun who replied to her with Xia Libing's mobile phone.

According to the previous cycle estimate, Xiang Kun's next blood drinking time should be February 15th, which is tomorrow.

The meat rabbits that need to be consumed for drinking blood, he has gone to the farm he contacted with Lao Xia to buy them today, and called a small truck to deliver them, and they are all in the kitchen of Lao Xia's house at this time.

Yes, the place to drink blood this time is going to be at Xia Libing's house. And because I had agreed with my parents before that I was "on a business trip", so I didn't go home at night, and I didn't need to pretend to sleep, and just stayed at Lao Xia's house.

Because he came back to sleep very late last night, and woke up very early in the morning to drive to Zihuan Mountain to pick up Xiang Kun, Lao Xia didn't have much energy today, and he started to feel sleepy after dinner.

Xiang Kun asked her to go to bed first, and make up for the sleep tonight, so that she would have the energy to stay up late tomorrow night.

Although Lao Xia now has a way to enter the "conscious world" to stay awake and relieve drowsiness, it is still necessary to recharge his energy and replenish sleep in advance.

Just like after Xiang Kun drank blood and fell asleep, he gave Lao Xia the safekeeping of his mobile phone to deal with possible accidents, Xia Libing also handed his mobile phone to Xiang Kun before going to bed, so as to avoid accidents such as third aunt's sudden visit and let him You can deal with it for her, send a WeChat message saying that you are not at home or outside.

Xiang Kun did not expect that, instead of receiving the third aunt's message, he first received Yang Zhen'er's conjecture about his "secret organization" and "secret mission".

Xiang Kun couldn't help but find it a little funny. He didn't expect that Yang Zhen'er, who was always a little confused, would suddenly be sharp.

Needless to say, although the conjectures of the so-called "secret organization" and "secret mission" do not match the facts, her thinking and direction of suspicion are true.

After using Lao Xia's mobile phone to imitate Lao Xia's way of dealing with Yang Zhen'er, Xiang Kun used his mobile phone to flip through the information sent by Alice for a while, and at two o'clock in the morning, he began to sense Lao Xia's pillow. The chopsticks on the side guide the dream.

This is what he had discussed with Lao Xia before. In the middle of the night, he began to fall asleep, and Lao Xia triggered a "dream within a dream".

As for whose dream was triggered, to be honest, he and Lao Xia didn't know for the time being. Anyway, the intermediary that triggered the dream was on the window sill of a certain floor of the branch dormitory. The person who triggered the dream must be someone in the dormitory.

In the afternoon, Xiang Kun touched the vicinity of the branch office, wrapped a piece of "black circle graffiti" with a "hyperlinked object" ball, and shot it to the window sill of a window in the branch dormitory with a slingshot. .

He wants to use this method to "call the police in a dream".

Give the police a reminder to let them go to Zihuan Mountain, find the bodies of those victims of the "mutated parasite", let their family members and friends know their information, and stop being placed in that remote cave.
