What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Chapter 44 Memory

Xiang Kun first used his computer to open JD.com and bought a 1199 Redmi mobile phone. His previous mobile phone was also a thousand yuan phone. After using it for more than a year, it was broken like that, and there was no need to repair it at all.

Anyway, he used to spend most of his time in front of the computer. He basically didn’t install games on his mobile phone, and he rarely even watched videos. Both time and time are in the training for mutations. The most used functions of mobile phones are timekeeping and flashlights...

And now that there is no income, there is a crisis of sitting on the mountain, buying an expensive mobile phone, and if it breaks again, there is no money to replace it.

After looking at it, the warehouse in this city has the goods, and it is expected to be delivered in the afternoon.

By the way, I found the cheapest black-frame flat glasses with free shipping on Taobao. The previous pair of glasses broke when I was by the lake, so I had to buy a new replacement to maintain the familiar image in front of acquaintances.

Then Xiang Kun started to do what he had to do every time he woke up, measuring and counting various data of his body.

In terms of weight, he has gained another 1.4KG, and his weight has reached 95.4KG.

The body temperature did not drop much, 27.4 ℃.

Perhaps it was because of the two fights with the giant owl, which caused his body to feel that he was in extreme danger and needed to improve his recovery ability, so this time his knife wound recovery speed has been greatly improved. From 12 minutes and 23 seconds to 10 minutes and 55 seconds - this is still under the condition that the recovery ability is suppressed during the day. If the recovery speed after sunrise is suppressed by about 20% in the past, the recovery time after sunset should be 9 minutes From 05 seconds to about 9 minutes and 06 seconds, the improvement can be described as huge.

For the improvement of sense of smell and hearing, there is no way to make a very specific statistics for the time being, but subjectively speaking, it can be felt that the improvement is obvious.

There is another point that Xiang Kun unexpectedly discovered, that is, his bones seem to have changed. Comparing the photos of the beginning of the mutation with the current photos on the computer, the shoulder width and arm length seem to have changed, and then compare carefully, It seems that the height has also become a little taller?

Xiang Kun stood by the wall and marked it, then measured it with a meter ruler.

179.7cm, it has indeed become taller.

During the previous company physical examination, the height data was 177.5cm. Although there are some differences in the measurement of different measuring instruments in different time periods in the morning and evening, the height of 178.9cm was also measured during the physical examination in college, but even with that Taking height as a reference, he is now nearly 1cm longer.

It's a pity that after the first mutation, he didn't measure and count such data as height, shoulder width, and arm length. After all, he didn't think at the time that even his bones would change.

However, after experiencing the fight with the giant owl last night, he was not too surprised that his bones had begun to develop again.

He was actually thinking about a dream he had after drinking owl blood and falling asleep last night—this was the first time he had a dream since his body mutated on July 11.

When he first woke up, he didn't pay much attention to it, but when he thought about it now, he suddenly realized that it might not be just a dream.

The scene in the dream was similar to the one that Xiang Kun saw for more than a second after he tasted the owl's blood. They were all moving from the owl's first perspective.

This time, in the dream, what Xiang Kun saw was no longer just a one-second picture, but a lot of pictures, but the time sequence was very chaotic, there seemed to be no logical connection, and the scenes jumped a lot, one after another He piled them up for him to see.

And a large part of it is a picture of flying or diving in the air. To be honest, the experience is not very good.

But now when Xiang Kunyi recalled the scene in the dream, he found that he could actually recall the scene he had "seen" in the dream again.

"Watch" again.

This is completely different from the feeling when recalling the pictures I have seen in reality, or other memories.

It's like opening another small window in your own brain, and you can browse other people's experiences in the first person.

Yes, the pictures he saw in his dream should be the memory of that giant owl.

I just licked a mouthful of blood before, so I only got a picture of more than 1 second.

Later, Xiang Kun almost drank the owl's blood, so he had a dream and got a lot of memory pictures that belonged to that giant owl.

Is the memory information really stored in the blood, the more you drink, the more you get?

He had drunk chicken blood and rabbit blood before, but he had never seen any pictures. It seems that this characteristic only exists in mutant creatures like him and the giant owl. If the owl drank his blood, could it also see his memory?

It's just that these pictures are not in chronological order and irregular, which really makes people look dizzy.

I don't know if it's because the owl's IQ is not high enough, so the memory is confused, or it's the memory obtained through this method.

The useful information in those memories still needs time to analyze and extract slowly, but there are a few points that can already be determined.

One is that the owl was not born so special. Like Xiang Kun, it was an acquired mutation. It's just how to mutate and how to mutate. We still need to dig out those memory images slowly.

The second is that the owl is indeed the same as Xiang Kun. After mutating, it lives by drinking the blood of other creatures. Judging from what he saw, at least this owl hunted and ate far more creatures than Xiang Kun after it mutated.

The third is that the owl did originally live in a deep mountain, and later found the rabbit that Xiang Kun had killed in the garbage dump, so it set its sights on Xiang Kun, but it didn't seem to be able to accurately track Xiang Kun's location. It should be just an accident to bump into Xiang Kun who came looking for a dog.

As for why it left the deep mountain and entered the city, I haven't found an answer yet, but judging from those pictures, Xiang Kun was indeed the first human being it attacked.

Obviously, the owl's ability to become so big and continue to fly was due to the same mutation as Xiang Kun's.

For raptors like owls that need to hunt for a living, their way of survival is hunting, and the direction of mutation is naturally to have a stronger hunting ability—as the size grows, its prey does become more abundant. , The sharp claws can even pierce the hard skin of wild boars.

The IQ of this owl has also improved to a certain extent with the mutation.

Xiang Kun couldn't help but guess that the prototypes of the ghost legends in history were these mutated animals?

Xiang Kun even wondered, if a mutated animal was originally raised by humans and had a strong urge and need to communicate with people, would it be possible to evolve the ability to speak through repeated mutations?

And the fact that it will turn into powder and completely dissipate after death may be the reason why legends are always legends and there is no evidence?

Of course, these are just guesswork.

Xiang Kun had been trying to find the same "case" as himself before, but he didn't expect to find the closest one in the end, which turned out to be an owl.

Moreover, the owl wanted to kill himself, and finally died in his own hands, and drank the blood by himself.

Xiang Kun couldn't help but wonder, could he be the first mutated human?
