What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Chapter Three Analyzes the Current Situation

Xiang Kun rubbed his face and the skin on his arms vigorously, and soon the hardened dead skin was rubbed off, revealing the new, smooth skin inside.

He grabbed the hair, and the hair seemed to be attached to his head, and he grabbed it and grabbed it in large handfuls.

After taking a shower and scrubbing his whole body, Xiang Kun stood in front of the mirror again, and what he saw was a much younger self, except that his bald head looked a little awkward, and his mouth was full of teeth that hadn't grown yet. Something weird.

Putting the dead and even stinking chickens into garbage bags and packing several layers, and after cleaning up the chicken feathers and blood all over the house, Xiang Kun sat down on the only chair in the room and began to think about himself. series of things that happened.

There is no doubt that everything started from the drunkenness on Thursday night, and after waking up, the body began to appear abnormal.

He has no appetite for normal food and throws up after eating, but has an inexplicable hunger for animal blood. He even bought a live chicken and cut its neck to drink the blood.

Although he clearly remembered the process of buying chickens, killing chickens, and drinking blood, but at that time he felt driven by his body's instincts and hunger, and felt helpless.

But now, after drinking chicken blood and sleeping for another day, his skin has shed a layer of skin, his hair has fallen out, and his teeth have all fallen out and started to grow again. When he just took a bath, he found that the nails on his hands and feet were also peeled off. A thin layer of new armor appeared inside.

Unless it was all a hallucination, it obviously couldn't be the result of some hangover, heat, or lack of sleep, or something he'd heard or seen.

The plots in various novels and film and television works that I have read in the past flashed in my mind, and then they were frozen into three words:

vampire.

If someone had told Xiang Kun that he would become a vampire before last Thursday, he would definitely think that this person was either a lunatic or a liar.

But at this moment, regarding the changes and previous experiences in his body, he couldn't help thinking about these three words.

I opened my notebook and searched my symptoms with a search engine. Unsurprisingly, I didn’t get any “scientific” explanation. The so-called pica, rabies and porphyria are very different from his symptoms, at least I can’t explain why Teeth will grow back and skin will be shed all over.

As a programmer, it is naturally a basic operation to connect to a VPN and use GOOGLE. However, on the Internet in English, I only found a bunch of unreliable legends, and none of them completely matched his symptoms.

Now how to do?

Go to the doctor?

A hospital's equipment inspection and a professional diagnosis will definitely help him understand his physical condition.

But what do you tell the doctor, after a hangover, I suddenly couldn’t eat normally, and I vomited whatever I ate, but I fell in love with drinking chicken blood, and after drinking it, I fell asleep and woke up with a new layer The skin and teeth have also been changed, and the hair has fallen out?

Assuming that I have a disease, I can't find any related cases on the Internet, I can only explain:

One, I am the first person to suffer from this disease;

Second, past cases were deliberately concealed and not made public.

No matter what the situation is, if Xiang Kun seeks medical treatment, he will most likely become a key surveillance target, and even lose his freedom "protectively".

At that time, he may not have to think about medical expenses, but the first goal of hospitals or other institutions may not be to save his life and cure him, but the disease he has acquired.

So after careful consideration, he decided not to go to the hospital for the time being until his "condition" deteriorated beyond his control, and his life was even threatened.

Of course, this is risky. If it is a life-threatening disease, he may miss the best time for treatment.

Xiang Kun created a new WORD document on his notebook, then put on his glasses, and was about to type, but suddenly felt a little dizzy, and the picture on the screen became slightly distorted.

Taking off his glasses, the situation immediately cleared up. Xiang Kun realized something, opened the curtains a little, looked at the words on the billboards in the distance, and found a few advertising slogans that he couldn't see without glasses before, but now he just stared at them with his naked eyes. Can see clearly. Although it is obviously still a little short-sighted, but the eyesight is much better than before.

After suffering from teeth and skin conditions, Xiang Kun immediately realized that this was also one of the "sicknesses".

After licking his teeth with his tongue, Xiang Kun went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror, and found that his teeth had grown significantly in more than an hour since he woke up at 4 o'clock to now. By tomorrow morning, the teeth will be able to grow back to their original appearance, and the previously decayed areas will be restored.

Xiang Kun sat back in front of the computer again, and typed on the document:

Suppose the factor X causes all changes in the body.

1. The possible reasons for X appearing:

1. There was a problem with drinking or eating at the food stall on the night of July 11;

2. Genetic diseases are triggered by external stimuli, such as alcohol;

3. Other ways of infection with viruses or bacteria, such as being bitten by some insects;

4. After getting home drunk and falling asleep, something happened that I didn't know;

5. Others.

Second, physical changes caused by X:

1. The whole body sheds the skin, the new skin is more healthy and delicate, and the previous scars also disappear, the teeth are renewed, the nails are renewed, the hair falls out, and myopia is greatly improved;

2. Unable to eat normal food and will spit it out soon after eating;

3. There is an inexplicable bloodthirsty impulse, which will be attracted by the smell of blood, triggering a strong sense of hunger and driving the body to obtain blood. Feeling satisfied and sleepy after drinking blood;

4. Unknown changes.

Three, how to deal with X:

1. Investigate the cause of X;

2. Record the changes in the body, and find the reasons and trends of the changes;

3. Solve the problem of eating.

Looking at the document he had written, Xiang Kun rubbed his chin and found that most of the changes in his body seemed to be beneficial. Even if the hair that fell out did not grow back, the impact would not be great.

If you use the words in the game, most of the changes in his body are buffs, not debuffs.

Except for the problem of eating.

People need to eat when they are alive, otherwise they cannot provide the energy needed for survival, and they will die. But from the evening of July 11th to today's July 15th, he didn't eat anything except chicken blood, because he vomited whatever he ate.

He didn't think that that little blood could provide all the energy for his survival.

Xiang Kun poured himself a cup of warm water. After drinking it, he sat quietly for ten minutes. There was no reaction in his stomach. Obviously, the water would not be rejected by his current stomach.

So he found out the carton of pure milk that he bought at home before, and there was still half a carton left, poured it into a cup and drank it all in one go.

Twenty seconds later, Xiang Kun rushed to the toilet and vomited up.
