What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Seeing this expression, Xiang Kun knew what Lao Xia meant. He was telling himself that she was awake and wanted to meet.

Xiang Kun confirmed the situation next door through his hearing. He knew that Lao Xia had just finished washing and Tang Baona and Yang Zhener were still sleeping soundly, so he replied: "The door."

When Xiang Kun walked out of the room, Xia Libing just opened the door and walked out - of course, this was what he expected.

The two looked at each other without speaking and walked towards the elevator together.

After entering the elevator, Xia Libing looked at him a few times, sniffed slightly, and asked, "You went out last night and just came back?"

Xiang Kun knew that she asked this question after she found out that he had changed his clothes and took a shower.

"I went to the river last night." After getting out of the elevator, Xiang Kun said as he walked out of the hotel.

Xia Libing followed behind and said thoughtfully: "Did you find something in the river? No wonder he seemed a little absent-minded on the road last night."

"Oh? Did you find that I was absent-minded?" Xiang Kun said with a smile. Although most of his attention was on the river at that time, he thought that there should be no reflection in his performance.

"Your reaction to Nana's song was too small and not normal." Xia Libing said, "But at the time, I was just guessing and couldn't be sure."

Xiang Kun nodded, and after leaving the hotel, he turned right and walked onto the walking path next to him.

Xia Libing didn't ask where he was going, he just followed.

"It's not what's in the river, it's the river itself." At this time, Xiang Kun began to tell the old man one by one about his special feelings about the river last night, the process of sinking alone into the river last night, and the results and summaries of various experiments. Xia, including the scene when rescuing people and creating fog when they finally get out of the water.

Halfway through, Xiang Kun turned into an alley and walked to a breakfast shop that looked shabby and old, but there were many people lining up outside. Xia Libing was waiting next to him.

Xiang Kun didn't say anything, and she didn't ask any questions. She squinted her eyes and thought about something.

After queuing for a while, Xiang Kun bought two big meat buns, a vegetable bun, a spring roll, three shaomai, and a cup of soy milk. Then he turned around, handed everything to Lao Xia, and went back to add sugar to the soy milk.

Taking the soy milk with added sugar from Xiang Kun, Xia Libing took a sip. Well, it was just right in sweetness, and then started eating the meat buns.

Although there are several tables set up inside and outside the breakfast shop,

But there were already people sitting there, so Xiang Kun moved two small stools and sat with Lao Xia on the roadside, a few meters away from the others. He helped Lao Xia carry the uneaten food and acted as a table. function.

There is no need to ask whether it tastes good or not. You can tell how it tastes just by watching Lao Xia exhale hot air and finish a bun in four or five mouthfuls.

He just found this store online using his mobile phone in the hotel. It is a well-known time-honored brand in Star City. From the fact that there are so many people queuing up so early, it can be seen that its name is well-deserved - Internet celebrity stores also find people to queue up. Nothing so early.

When he was in the hotel, he knew through the wall that Lao Xia was hungry, and the hotel's breakfast hadn't opened yet, so he took her here directly.

After Lao Xia finished eating another meat bun, Xiang Kun handed over the bag containing Shaomai, and then continued: "That bug should have lived in water at first, so it has stronger adaptability to water than to land, but I think it doesn't have as strong control over water as I do. The reason why I can have such strong control over water is mainly due to the combination of my other abilities, especially the related application abilities of the 'super-sensory item system'. Quantitative changes produce qualitative changes.”

Xia Libing listened to Xiang Kun's speech and ate at the same time, without wasting any time.

After finishing breakfast and drinking the last sip of soy milk, Xiang Kun finished speaking and handed over a tissue he brought from the hotel.

"Do you have to be in the water to enter the 'oxygen-saving mode', or can you do it at any time?" Xia Libing wiped his mouth and asked.

"Any time." Xiang Kun said, paused, and continued: "Now I am in the 'oxygen-saving mode'. In the eyes of others, there should be no obvious difference. Of course, if you look carefully If you observe, you can see that I am not breathing."

He has also considered this issue of Lao Xia and has conducted experiments before. Even without sinking your face into the water, you can now find a way to enter the "oxygen-saving mode", which is much easier than entering the "super-sensory state", a bit like switching visual modes.

"Then why don't you try some breathing movements now?" Xia Libing said while observing Xiang Kun's condition.

Xiang Kun followed the words and took a few deep breaths, and then said: "The breathing action can be done, but the air inhaled does not actually change. It seems that these two ways of absorbing oxygen cannot be performed at the same time."

"It seems that the 'oxygen-saving mode' does not simply absorb dissolved oxygen in the water, but indiscriminately absorbs oxygen molecules in the surrounding environment." Xia Libing nodded thoughtfully: "Or... what you ingested Yes, it’s not oxygen?”

"Not oxygen? What is that?"

"When the laboratory is ready, we can further confirm it through experiments." After Xia Libing finished speaking, he asked: "Can you continue to maintain the 'oxygen-saving mode'?"

"I haven't tried how long it can last, but judging from the current feeling, there should be no problem." Xiang Kun said.

"Do you feel anything about the water around you now?"

"I have a little feeling, but the feeling is very weak. I guess it is because the total amount of water is relatively small. I can feel the water flowing in the water pipes, the water in the ditch, and the sinks behind the store. There are water tanks and some bottled water, but these can only be vaguely determined by locking the position through other sensory information. I think this still relies on the comprehensive judgment of the original perception, which is combined with my perception of direct contact in the water. There are fundamental differences." Xiang Kun said while sensing and thinking.

Xia Libing asked again: "Is it related to the purity of the water? Is there any difference in the sensitivity of water containing different impurities? Does your special feeling come simply from HO molecules, or from the material form of liquid?"

"It should be directly related to water molecules... But this is just my intuition. It still needs experiments to confirm." Xiang Kun said.

With that said, Xiang Kun got up and went to the canteen across the street to buy a bottle of mineral water. Then he came back and washed the cup from which Lao Xia drank the soy milk, and then filled it eight cents full.

Xiang Kun put the quilt on the low plastic stool he was sitting on, squatted in front of the stool, put his index finger into the water, and slowly stirred it.

After a while, Xiang Kun stopped stirring and kept his fingers in the water. Then when the water in the cup calmed down, he looked up at Lao Xia: "Did you see it?"

Xia Libing nodded. During the whole process, she sat on a small stool with her chin propped up, concentrating on observing the water in the cup and Xiang Kun's fingers. She noticed that after the fingers stopped stirring and the water surface slowly became still, there were lines of water along the On Xiang Kun's finger, a circle of very small ripples rippled outward and spread out.

If it were other people, even if they saw this scene, they would definitely not find anything strange. A car passing by, or his fingers trembling, or other vibrations, may have this effect. Nothing more than normal.

You might even say to Xiang Kun with disdain, "That's it?"

But Xia Libing knew very well that Xiang Kun's fingers were very stable and did not tremble. At this time, there was no vibration nearby that could cause such a wave - if it was a vibration from the ground, the source of the wave would not be on Xiang Kun's finger. Location.

She knew that this was the effect of Xiang Kun's ability.

After confirming that Lao Xia saw the effect, Xiang Kun took out a tungsten steel ball from his pocket, threw it into the water glass, and then inserted his finger into the water.

Soon, the ball began to "swim" in the water, looking like a confused tadpole without a tail scurrying around in the water.

After a while, the entire glass of water began to tremble slightly, as if Xiang Kun was shaking the water glass, but in fact he did not touch the glass, and his fingers in the water remained motionless.

The trembling of the water began to become regular, as if countless forces gathered together, and the water in the cup rotated clockwise, as if Xiang Kun was stirring it with his fingers.

Of course, his fingers still didn't move at all.

Not far away, people eating in front of the breakfast shop also looked at her casually. After all, Xia Libing was so beautiful and had a special temperament. Xiang Kun's bald head and figure were also quite conspicuous.

Although they couldn't see what was inside the cup, they could guess at a glance that it was the bald guy with glasses who was definitely using the cup to do some tricks to please the pretty girl.

From the concentrated expressions of the beautiful girls, they all came to the same conclusion - this bald guy should be very rich...

Xiang Kun was very aware of the situation of everyone around him, and also knew that many people were secretly watching him and Lao Xia, but he didn't care, because except for him and Lao Xia, no one around him saw what was in the water glass, even though I don’t know what they are doing when I see them.

He took the ball out of the water cup, exited the "oxygen-saving mode" and looked up at Lao Xia: "How's it going? What do you think?"

Xia Libing said: "Expand the cup to the entire river, can you also have such an impact?"

"Of course not at the moment, but it's hard to say in the future. It might be possible," Xiang Kun said.

Xia Libing asked again: "Have you ever tried to establish a 'supersensory connection' with water?"

"I tried it, but it didn't work." Xiang Kun picked up the water glass on the low stool in front of him and said: "The most difficult thing about supersensory connection between gases and liquids is how to define their boundaries and specific forms. It's like I want to establish supersensory If the target of the connection is this glass of water, then its edge is determined by the water glass, so most of my attention will be shared on the water glass, and I will not be able to focus on the water itself. But if the water is defined as a single or several Molecularly, unless my microscopic vision has evolved to the point where I can see the molecular structure clearly, it should not be possible. Even if I use an electron microscope to see individual water molecules, it can only improve my overall understanding of water, but it cannot truly Seeing in real time makes it impossible to establish a supersensory connection at the particle level.”

"Where's the ice?" Xia Libing immediately asked the question. Ice is the solid state of water. It is still water in nature, but it does not need a container to determine the boundary like water.

Xiang Kun said: "I haven't tried it, but I guess it might work. But even if you successfully establish a 'supersensory connection' with an ice cube, the connection is limited to the whole piece of ice. If it melts into water, then The connection will be greatly degraded, and it will be so weak that it will be insignificant. Just like the paper that has established the 'supersensory connection', if you keep tearing it off, the connection and induction will continue to weaken."

After finishing speaking, seeing Xia Libing nodding thoughtfully, Xiang Kun asked her to sit for a while while he got up and went to the breakfast shop again, packing two breakfasts and preparing to take them back to Tang Baona and Yang Zhener. .

Compared with the breakfast provided by the hotel, there is no doubt that the breakfast at this time-honored restaurant is much more delicious. Based on his judgment of Tang Baona and Yang Zhener's taste, he is very sure that they will like it.

On the way back, Xia Libing put forward her opinion based on the various information provided by Xiang Kun: "I think what you observed last night and the abilities you acquired are essentially the same as what you developed after swallowing the 'mutant spider' The 'Electric Flight' ability should be the same.

"They all use the power brought by the environment, and use the 'super-sensory item system' to enhance and further utilize this power. It's just that you have much better control over various abilities and yourself now than you did in the no-man's land of Qinling Mountains. , the foundation is better, so after a few hours of trying last night, I can get good results.

"According to the 'parasitic everything' model you proposed, selecting a small pond for in-depth experiments and continuous transformation should be a better way to develop this ability. As for the pond, I will go back to build a research base in Chongshan Village. When the time comes, let Deputy Director Liu help with the search."

Xiang Kun nodded while listening. Most of Lao Xia's judgments agreed with his, but there were some angles that he had not considered, which further helped him improve his theories and ideas. Sure enough, it would be helpful to have someone help discuss it together.

Xia Libing thought for a while and then said: "I will also try to explore. After you gain the ability in a new field, can I find a new direction for ability development. For example, try Juxian Water and see Juxian Water Can it be an effective help in your 'oxygen-saving mode'?"

After chatting for a while about the possible principles of the new ability and the ways it could be developed, Xiang Kun saw that he was almost at the hotel, so he changed the topic and mentioned the idea he had when he was buying food with everyone in the supermarket yesterday.

He mentioned his desire to control the things around him, his urge to always try to control various variables, and his idea of ​​"parasitic everything". Has his mind and spirit undergone some changes due to the influence of continuous mutation and evolution?

Although he is still normal at the moment, after all, this is just what he thinks is normal. He needs others to judge from other perspectives to avoid unknowingly having some extreme ideas in the future.

He pays as much attention and vigilance to his mental state as he does to his physical state.

There is no doubt that Lao Xia, who knows the secret of his mutation and is a psychiatrist, is the most suitable person to consult.

After listening to Xiang Kun's description and his worries, Xia Libing replied directly: "These are all normal psychological changes, no problem. The greater the ability, the greater the desire. This is human nature. Since you are a human, There will be no exception. I will take good care of you, don’t worry.”

While talking, they returned to the hotel and stopped discussing these things.

It was already past eight o'clock, so Xiang Kun asked Lao Xia to wake up the two sleeping slackers directly to prevent the packed breakfast from getting cold and unpalatable.

After Tang Baona and Yang Zhener finished breakfast, they checked out of the room and went to two tourist attractions in Star City together. At noon, they met up with Shi Ling's mother and went to pick up the little fat girl from the kindergarten.

Finally, we have lunch together before they fly back to Haixi Province.

After knowing that they were leaving in the afternoon, the little fat girl was very reluctant to leave and even skipped a lot of lunch.

These two days can be said to be the happiest time she has ever lived.

Learn painting, singing, and dancing with my sisters, play games together, pet the cat together, go shopping together, and eat the food cooked by "Bald Uncle" together. In my dream, I can also have fun with "Grilled Chicken Wings Sister" and "Bald Uncle" "Eating together and practicing magic together, this is really a "great!" day for her.

The little fat girl now deeply understands the meaning of the sentence "Happiness is always short-lived". Her little heart is full of melancholy and sadness. After lunch, she even eats her favorite ice cream bought by "Old Fairy Sister" It doesn't even smell good anymore.

Xiang Kun and the others were about to take a car to the airport, and when Shiling's mother was about to take Liu Shiling back to the kindergarten, the little chubby girl couldn't help it. She ran over and hugged Tang Baona's thigh with her left hand and Yang Zhener's thigh with her right hand, sobbing. She stood up: "Beautiful sister, woo woo woo, old fairy sister, woo woo woo..."

She also knew that her sisters and "Bald Uncle" had other things to do, and they would definitely not be able to play with her all the time, so she was too embarrassed to tell them not to leave and stay, so she just cried.

Yang Zhener gently rubbed the little fat girl's head, feeling uncomfortable in her heart. Her nose was sore, but at the same time she was a little proud, because the little fat girl came to hug her and Nana immediately, and It's not Xiang Kun and Lao Xia who have known each other longer and should have a better relationship. This proves that the little fat girl definitely likes her and Nana more!

She used to feel that if she had a child in the future, she would like to be a child like Lao Xia when she was a child, smart and worry-free, unlike other children who are sometimes cute but most of the time so noisy that their heads hurt. Be reasonable. But now, she feels that Little Bell is the perfect child, cute, fun, well-behaved, and edible. Well, although sometimes it is a bit silly and cute, but this is the innocence of children!

Next to her, Tang Baona also comforted the little fat girl in a low voice: "Little Lingdang, there is no banquet in the world that lasts forever. We are separated now to prepare for the next meeting. When you are on vacation, you can also ask your mother to take you to come with her. Let's play. Then my sister will take you to eat delicious food and play fun games, okay?"

Liu Shiling sniffed with tears, raised her little face and said to Tang Baona, "Okay."

"Oh, Shiling, don't wipe your snot on your sisters' pants. Wipe it quickly. Say goodbye to your sisters and your uncle. They have to catch a flight." Shiling's mother quickly hugged her daughter. He apologized to Tang Baona and Yang Zhener, "This girl is a little too emotional..."

Tang Baona and Yang Zhener naturally didn't mind, and they said goodbye for a while before getting in the car.

After watching the car drive away, merge into the traffic, and disappear, the little chubby girl, who was crying, put down her arms that were shaking sorely, and took her mother's hand and walked towards the kindergarten.

After walking a few steps, Liu Shiling suddenly remembered something, raised her little face and asked: "Mom, why did 'Pretty Sister' say that 'there is no mat in the world that cannot be spread apart'? Why do all the mats fall apart? Our previous mats did not fall apart." Have you ever opened it?"

Shiling's mother was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
