What It’s Like Being a Vampire

After "observing" Fan Jiading's dreams for a while, Xia Libing began to appear in his dreams, exploring and guiding Fan Jiading's subconscious.

However, what Xiang Kun found a little funny was that the figure that appeared in Xia Libing's dream was the same as the one that appeared in Mi Qiao's "Dream within a Dream" for the first time - a paper man with a panda expression.

Xiang Kun left all the specific operations to Lao Xia, and he mainly provided Lao Xia with support for his dream editing capabilities.

Under the guidance of Lao Xia, Fan Jiading revealed his deep subconscious true memories bit by bit in his dreams, and displayed them in front of Xiang Kun and Lao Xia in pictures.

After understanding the true process and subsequent experiences of Fan Jiading being parasitized by the "mutated parasite" through those memory scenes, Xia Libing guided him through the dream again just like what he had done in the "dream within a dream" of the "vampire patient". The subconscious mind has forgotten those real memory pictures.

If nothing is done, what if Fan Jiading wakes up and is able to recall the real memory that was guided by Lao Xia in the "dream within a dream" and discovers that he was parasitized by an insect in his body in a very direct way in front of him? In addition, when the crystal energy taken out and drank from the killed chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry was actually blood, he might have a mental breakdown and go completely crazy.

After emerging from the dream, Xiang Kun communicated with Xia Libing on WeChat when he woke up, and discussed the observation and capture strategies for the "mutated parasite".

Xiang Kun planned to face the host directly tonight and take out the "mutated parasite".

So he took off his coat and the T-shirt underneath, covered his face with the T-shirt, then put on his coat, climbed directly in through the window next to the corridor, and reached the door of the suite rented by Fan Jiading on the third floor.

Although Fan Jiading did not close the windows tightly when he went to bed at night, and Xiang Kun had used this to bring the black circle graffiti used to guide dreams into the room, this small building has protective railings on both the windows and the balcony, so He couldn't just flip in.

Standing at the door of Fan Jiading's rental house, Xiang Kun stuffed five hyperlinked coins through the lower edge of the door, then controlled the coins to cling to the door handle inside, trying to open the door.

However, the way he controls the hyperlinked coin is to use the hyperlinked object to influence the surrounding magnetic field to establish a magnetic track to guide the direction of movement. Therefore, the movement of the coin can be controlled more accurately. However, this method of clinging to and levering other items is more difficult. , and I have never practiced before.

So the five coins kept hitting the door handle through the door, jingling for a while before the door was opened.

The commotion caused was not small,

After the door opened, Xiang Kun knew through the sound that Fan Jiading had woken up, noticed the movement in the living room, and was getting up and walking.

But Xiang Kun was not worried, because he originally came in to wake up Fan Jiading.

Fan Jiading, who walked to the door of the bedroom, looked at the tall man wearing a peaked cap and covering his face who suddenly appeared in the living room with the help of the light leaking from the bedroom. However, he did not show any panic expression. Instead, he laughed:

"Brother, it's really unfortunate that you, a burglar, came to my place."

Fan Jiading's reaction was within Xiang Kun's expectation.

In fact, it is easy to understand. Fan Jiading now thinks that he has been strengthened by the "system" and has very blind confidence in his own combat effectiveness. Basically, he has a mental state of "I can fight ten".

To be honest, if Xiang Kun found a thief sneaking into his home in the middle of the night, he would probably be curious and even find it interesting and funny. Maybe he would chat with the thief first, and then pack it up and send it to Officer Chen.

But Xiang Kun's next words caused Fan Jiading's expression to change instantly.

"Are you the chosen one?" Xiang Kun asked in a cold tone.

Fan Jiading frowned and subconsciously made a defensive posture: "You...how do you know?"

Immediately he seemed to understand something and asked in surprise: "Are you also the Chosen One?"

Xiang Kun said directly: "It's so strange that there are other chosen ones. You don't think you are the only one with the 'Chosen System', right? Have you not received the task prompt? I have already issued a challenge to you. .”

"Ah?!" Fan Jiading's expression was a little confused, his eyes were straight, and he was stunned for a moment, as if his brain had shut down.

Xiang Kun continued: "The 'Selected System' stipulates that the chosen ones can challenge other chosen ones, and the winning party can obtain the crystal energy of the losing party. You don't even know this, right?"

"Yes...challenge the system, challenge the system, there should be other chosen ones, it's very reasonable..." Fan Jiading seemed to suddenly realize it, and murmured to himself.

Xiang Kun had been observing Fan Jiading's expression and body changes, and judged that he had "brained" and perfected the "system settings" according to his own words. He knew that his and Lao Xia's previous guesses about the impact of the parasite on the host were correct. of.

The "mutated parasite" has no way to determine the specific hallucinations produced by the host. It can only give the host a driving force and a final purpose of action in a certain way. As for how to imagine the process, how to make the host feel more at ease and have stronger subjective initiative. The execution depends on the host's own imagination.

Based on the situation of the "vampire patient", Xiang Kun knew that the impact of the "mutated parasite" on the host's cognition would continue to exist after it breaks away from the host.

But there are ways to interfere with this effect, especially after the "mutated parasite" has broken away from its host.

Previously, Xiang Kun and Lao Xia successfully used the deep hypnosis of "dream within a dream" to make the "vampire patient" feel that he was "not qualified" to become a "vampire" and not "qualified" to drink blood, so he no longer insisted on it. Instead of eating red food, I eat a variety of vegetables every day, and exercise hard to regain my "qualification."

Xiang Kun believes that when he directly throws a new "setting" to Fan Jiading that is unreasonable but fits his illusion system, Fan Jiading's instinct will automatically "rationalize" it - because otherwise, his entire illusion system may Will collapse.

Of course, the biggest variable is the "mutated parasite" still in Fan Jiading's body at this time. It cannot determine the host's specific hallucinations, but it may issue new instructions to give the host new behavioral patterns, such as extreme aggression or self-indulgence. Destructive, directly believing that Xiang Kun does not exist or is a "monster" that the "system" wants to destroy.

However, judging from Fan Jiading's reaction, the "mutated parasite" did not have any immediate impact.

After entering the door, Xiang Kun kept switching visual modes, observing the "mutated parasites" in Fan Jiading's body through the infrared thermal imaging visual mode from time to time. He found that after Fan Jiading woke up, the blue spots representing the parasites suddenly shrank significantly. Less, as if hiding his body, trying to avoid something.

Xiang Kun immediately speculated that this was because the "mutated parasite" was aware of the existence of "other mutant creatures" like him and was afraid?

But if this is the case, some previous speculations about the sensory capabilities of "mutated parasites" are about to change.

While Xiang Kun was thinking, Fan Jiading had completely "persuaded" himself and accepted his statement. He slowly walked to the living room, turned on the light, and said, "According to the challenge setting of the Tianxuan system, the challenger only needs to You can challenge the chosen ones who have higher total mission points than you, that is to say... you have lower mission points than me. I'm curious, what gave you the courage and confidence to come to my house in the middle of the night to challenge me? ? Could it be that...you added all your points to combat-related abilities?"

"You can try……"

Before Xiang Kun finished speaking, Fan Jiading's figure had already rushed up and punched him.

Obviously, in his understanding, the challenge of the Tianxuan system does not need to follow the rules of the arena, nor does it require shouting one, two, three before starting.

It can be seen that Fan Jiading's explosive power is very strong, but his core muscles are actually unstable. When he punches hard, he cannot borrow much power from his lower limbs.

His movement speed is faster than that of ordinary people, but it is actually not as good as that of a few athletes with excellent physical fitness. In the eyes of Xiang Kun, who has super dynamic vision, it is as clear as slow motion.

However, Xiang Kun did not dodge or block with his backhand to avoid hurting the opponent. Instead, he accurately pinched the opponent's right fist, moved it backwards to slow down his strength, and then directly caught the opponent's right fist with his abdomen. Coming left jab.

Feeling that his fist hit a whole piece of sun-hardened rubber, causing pain in his wrist, Fan Jiading raised his head in shock, looked into Xiang Kun's eyes, and said in surprise: "You added all the points to defense?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was kicked out by Xiang Kun. His back hit the wall with a muffled thud, and he fell to the ground. He couldn't get up for a long time.

Of course, Xiang Kun also withdrew his strength with this kick, and it was more of a pushing force. It did not cause serious damage to him, but he was temporarily distracted.

In the brief encounter just now, Xiang Kun had accurately judged Fan Jiading's current physical condition.

Fan Jiading's improvement in muscle strength and explosive power is actually far less than what he subconsciously thought. It is just a big improvement compared to his own before, but it is still worse than ordinary athletes with stronger physical fitness.

The so-called "Hercules" ability was exchanged for "lv.3", and what he got was more of a psychological enhancement. In fact, the parasite's physical transformation was very limited.

This is also consistent with the judgment he and Lao Xia got from the "vampire patient".

Of course, these transformations are different from the transformations that ordinary people undergo through training and diet. Fundamentally, they are indeed slightly different from ordinary humans. This is also the reason why the cognitive information Xiang Kun perceives in the "supersensory state" is abnormal. reason.

Xiang Kun took advantage of Fan Jiading lying on the ground before he could recover, walked to his bedroom, and took out a folding knife from a backpack - this was what he had seen before when he climbed to the window.

Back in the living room, Xiang Kun controlled Fan Jiading with his knees, lifted up the hem of his clothes, and quickly cut a small opening on his waist with a folding knife. Then he immediately threw the knife away, inserted two fingers into the wound, and accurately pinched a broad bean. Small bugs.

Although trapped in flesh and blood, through the infrared thermal imaging visual mode, Xiang Kun still found that the form of this "mutated parasite" was somewhat similar to what he saw in the deep real memory scene of the "vampire patient" guided by Lao Xia. different.

Around its body, there are countless tentacles thinner than hair extending into Fan Jiading's body.

So after Xiang Kun pinched it, he didn't pull it out immediately as planned. Instead, he waited for a moment and waited for those tiny tentacles to retract into its body before pinching it out of Fan Jiading's wound.

The whole process is actually very fast. From cutting to taking out the "mutated parasite", it takes less than three seconds in total, including the slight pause waiting for the parasite to retract its tentacles.

Because the knife was cut too fast, Fan Jiading, who had just been thrown a little dizzy, did not react for a moment. By the time he opened his mouth to scream, Xiang Kun had already taken out the insect.

"Shut up!" Xiang Kun scolded in a low voice, then brought the bug in his hand to Fan Jiading and asked, "Do you know what this is?"

Fan Jiading looked at the spindle-shaped insect that was covered in blood and seemed to be dead and motionless. He was stunned for a moment, his expression became decayed, and he said with a sad face: "It's my 'crystal energy', you take my 'crystal energy' Out……"

Xiang Kun nodded. As he had expected, even if the "mutated parasite" was removed, its psychological impact on the host would still persist.

This kind of picture that is unacceptable to the host's original cognition will still be automatically "made up" in his mind into a picture that can be integrated into the hallucination system.

In the setting Fan Jiading understands, the "crystal energy" he obtains from monsters killed by characters in the "system" can be exchanged for system points, and the abilities he redeems from the system are also stored in his own "crystal energy" "middle.

In other words, all the abilities he gained from the "system" have been "poached" by Xiang Kun.

Xiang Kun stood up and looked down at Fan Jiading, who was as wilted as an eggplant on the ground: "This is my reward for succeeding in the challenge. You are no longer qualified to perform the 'mission', so start practicing again! Wait until you can become the chosen one again. If you don't, come to me again to get your 'crystal energy' back."

Although these words sounded childish and middle-class, to Fan Jiading, they sounded very reasonable.

He gritted his teeth to hold back the pain of the burning wound on his waist, and said bitterly: "At least tell me your name. How can I find you in the future?"

Xiang Kun shook his head: "The 'system' will tell you."

The reason why he put so much effort into "acting" with Fan Jiading was not to amuse the poor "mutated parasite" host, but to maximize his return to ordinary life with less impact. This is also spiritual Doctor Xia Libing’s “treatment method”.

Through the memory recall in the "dream within a dream" just now, both Xiang Kun and Lao Xia knew that Fan Jiading, like the "vampire patient", had not really harmed other people, his life could still be saved, and he still had a chance to get back on track.

Whether it is the "vampire patient" who attempted a crime, the male deceased in Zihuan Mountain, or the passerby who fled to Yangcheng and died after committing a murder, they are all basically victims. If they were not parasitized by the "mutated parasite" , there is a high probability that they will not do those things and will have a normal life.

Regarding the "mutated parasite", Xiang Kun can regard it as a living sample of the "mutated organism" he studies, but those hosts are all poor victims, and every one of them can be saved.

Xiang Kun walked to the door with the unresponsive "mutated parasite", turned around and said to Fan Jiading:

"Go to the hospital and treat your wounds yourself. You know what I should say, right?"

He was very measured and the cut was not deep. Although it seemed like a lot of blood was shed, most of it was brought out by "mutated parasites".

After being transformed by the "mutated parasite", Fan Jiading's body repair ability has been greatly improved compared to his strength, speed, and reaction. If he goes to the hospital to treat the wound for a while, he will probably not even leave a scar when he looks back, just like the "vampire patient" "Same.

Of course, according to Xiang Kun's speculation, this improvement in repair ability is likely to bring some undesirable side effects. The "mutated parasite" only uses the host as a vehicle, but does not really consider the host's overall survival situation.

Hearing Xiang Kun's words, Fan Jiading raised his head and glanced at him hatefully: "Nonsense. If you reveal the 'Selected System' to ordinary people, you will be wiped out by the system. I'm not stupid."

Although Fan Jiading was depressed and depressed after losing his "crystal energy" to Xiang Kun, he was honestly convinced of the defeat and even began to reflect on whether the way he exchanged his power was not correct.

"Hey!" Seeing Xiang Kun opening the door and leaving, Fan Jiading couldn't help but call him out.

"What I lost, I will definitely get it back with my own hands one day!"

Xiang Kun responded with a "haha" smile, then closed the door and left.

Fan Jiading, who was still lying on the ground and covering the wound on his lower back with one hand, knocked his forehead on the floor. He suddenly regretted what he said just now. He thought that these words could clarify his ambition and be very passionate, but after saying it, he found that …

How embarrassing!
