What It’s Like Being a Vampire

It was not until after midnight that Myanmar’s social media platforms began to burst out with various messages.

And not only on Myanmar’s social media, but also on international English social media and domestic Chinese social media, relevant discussions have appeared, and they are very lively.

In today's society, such public and large-scale "mysterious incidents" rarely occur.

Earlier tonight, large-scale riots broke out in Mangtamila, a tourist city in eastern Myanmar. Many shops were smashed and many tourists were attacked and robbed.

And under the guidance of thoughtful people, the main target is the Chinese.

However, the focus of the discussion on the Internet was not on the riot, but on the "visions" that appeared in many areas of Montamira during the riot.

A large number of Montamila residents and tourists claimed that they saw an extremely huge monster with many arms and many eyes on its head.

But different people have different descriptions of the monster.

Some said the monster was seven or eight meters tall, some said it was at least ten meters tall, or even close to twenty meters, and some said it was less than fifty meters tall and drank urine while standing upside down!

There are also different descriptions of the monster's appearance. Some said they saw a layer of black mist lingering, and the specific details could not be seen clearly. It felt like bark, some said it was made of stone, and some said it was obviously metal. , you can see the reflection of metal, and others claim that the monster's body is covered with sarcoma, and it is even flowing with black juice.

But one thing is the same - it has many arms and many eyes, or to be precise, eight arms and eight eyes.

And whenever they see that monster, everyone has a heart-shaking sense of fear.

However, most of the witnesses did not think that this monster that gave everyone a terrifying shock was an "evil" existence.

Because its appearance not only directly prevented all atrocities and saved many people, but also gave many people the feeling of having their souls washed in a "sauna" after they calmed down. Many people had been struggling and hesitating and couldn't figure it out. The problem suddenly became clear to me.

Therefore, many people even think that this huge eight-armed and eight-eyed monster may be some kind of awakened god who felt the evil in the world and came to use fear to cleanse the evil and disperse the darkness.

However, most of these speeches are made by those who have personally experienced the incident and seen the vision of the "eight-armed and eight-eyed monster" with their own eyes. However, the number of these people is very limited.

Moreover, at this time, most people were in shock, or did not have access to the Internet or the habit of speaking on social media, so online public opinion was quickly led in other directions by most people.

First, someone asked why no one took pictures of such a huge monster appearing in the city. Even if no one is taking pictures, there should be surveillance footage nearby, right?

Witnesses of the incident said that at first everyone was shocked by the appearance of the monster, and their whole body and mind were invaded by fear. No one could react and take photos, and no one dared to take photos.

But when they reacted to take pictures, they found that there was something wrong with both their mobile phones and their cameras.

They are also looking forward to clear surveillance footage leaking out of the area where the incident occurred.

However, a Chinese owner who opened a store in Myanmar posted a video on Weibo, confirming that when the incident occurred, all the surveillance cameras in their store were malfunctioning and no footage of the process was recorded. The same was true for the stores around him.

When the monster appeared, it seemed to have a strong interference magnetic field, which temporarily prevented all electronic equipment from operating normally, and even various lamps went out or flickered.

But Montamira is a very big city after all. At that time, there happened to be a photographer who used delayed photography on the upper floors of a hotel to capture the changes in the city's night scene.

His camera lens was pointed right at the area where the incident occurred, and the straight line distance was far enough that the equipment was not affected, so it recorded what happened in that area during that time.

Although it was far away, if the eight-armed and eight-eyed monster was as huge as the witnesses described, it would definitely be photographed.

The problem is that there is no "giant monster" in the picture taken by the photographer.

So when the photographer posted the scene he took and the time when the scene was taken on a social platform in order to "slap" the person who witnessed the monster in the face, public opinion on the Internet immediately skewed towards the fact that the person who posted the previous article was sensationalizing or causing trouble. hallucination.

But as for the hallucinations, those who have experienced it online have simply admitted it, and many people said that they soon discovered that it was an hallucination after the monster disappeared, because many people created it when the monster appeared. Environmental changes, such as footprints in the middle of the road, are restored with its disappearance.

Whether it was an illusion or not did not affect the feelings of those who witnessed it at all. They were still full of shock and awe towards the monster.

But for most netizens on the Internet, it has a great impact and makes them have other speculations.

Soon the voices of those who witnessed it were drowned out, and the online discussions began to develop in different directions according to the actions of netizens in various fields.

On English social media, many people believe that this is a "mental wave interference weapon" used by Myanmar officials to suppress riots, which can make everyone insane and cause hallucinations. The evidence is that electronic equipment in the entire area was affected at that time. It is "ironclad evidence".

There are even many people who have found a variety of official declassified documents that look very "real", saying that certain technologies leaked from the former Soviet Union's laboratories and were bought by Myanmar officials for further research. Some also said that the old U.S. There is a related laboratory built in Montamira, which may be old and American technology.

On Myanmar’s local social platforms, most people are not aware of the long-distance shooting video released by the photographer before, or have seen it and think it does not explain anything. They still think that the eight-armed and eight-eyed giant is the true god who appears and protects the people. Monta Mira, it's just that each sect is taking credit, thinking that it was their own gods who did it.

On Chinese social platforms, the scope of discussion is even wider.

Just on Zhihu’s hot list, there are seven related questions among the top twenty questions, covering multiple fields. There are also three related hot searches on Weibo. Even Bilibili and Douyu have tourism in Montamila. After the UP owner was connected to the Internet, he started a live broadcast in the hotel to "report" the local situation.

Some psychological analysts believe that in the case of riots, due to the achievement of certain extreme conditions, individual emotions infect others around them through the senses, creating collective hallucinations. And began to search for past cases, analyze the experience descriptions posted by parties on internal and external networks, and conduct verification.

The Cthulhu Fantasy School began to explore the commonalities between the Cthulhu mythology system and certain unknowns in reality. Is it possible that similar unknown life really exists, but it exists in a higher dimension, or a parallel universe? . But at a certain moment, its projection appeared in our world, in Montamila, and was seen by some people.

These people who have seen it may find it easier to see creatures from another world and hear and see certain things in the future.

There are also some conspirators who believe that this is a smoke bomb released by Myanmar officials on the international Internet to eliminate the negative impact of the Mangtamila riots and take the opportunity to create new tourist hotspots and let people know about the mysterious Tourists who are interested in things can come to Montamila to "explore the secrets".

However, when some Chinese people who personally experienced this incident in Montamira and saw the "eight-armed and eight-eyed monster" posted about it, this theory immediately disappeared and was self-defeating.

After Xia Libing, who was standing in front of the computer, saw the news about Mentamila on the Internet, he naturally understood what the "big news" Xiang Kun was talking about and immediately judged which of the news was true. Which ones are fake.

She knew that the illusion of the "eight-armed and eight-eyed monster" was created by Xiang Kun - it was under her "witness" that this ability was successfully tested for the first time in an abandoned factory in Citong City.

She even knew that this ability was derived and expanded by Xiang Kun based on the abilities developed by "Little Apple" and "Golden Shining".

But she didn't expect that Xiang Kun would carry out such a large-scale and large-scale emotional projection influence.

However, combined with the news about the Montamila riot, she could guess why Xiang Kun decided to do this.

Judging from her previous analysis of Xiang Kun's various speeches on the Internet, the items at home, the words he wrote, and the things he did in his early years, although Xiang Kun always said that he was a selfish person and someone who was afraid of trouble, But in fact, there is a strong sense of family and country.

Since the riots in Mentamila this time were mainly directed at the Chinese, it is foreseeable that he would choose to take action when he has the ability to protect himself and influence the situation.

Choosing to use the emotional projection of the "eight-armed eight-eyed wood carving" to influence it is also in line with his character.

Judging from the comments of online witnesses, the illusion has disappeared for a long time now, so normally, Xiang Kun should have left Montamila and was on his way back.

So Xia Libing sent a dazed expression to Xiang Kun's WeChat. She knew that if Xiang Kun received it, she would know the meaning of her inquiry and would definitely reply.

But until three o'clock in the morning, Xiang Kun did not reply.

This made Xia Libing feel a little strange. Either Xiang Kun was still carrying out other actions, such as investigating the culprits and behind-the-scenes reasons for the riot against the Chinese.

Either there was something wrong with his mobile phone and he could not receive messages. Judging from the descriptions of those witnesses, when the eight-armed and eight-eyed monster appeared, the electronic devices were affected and only recovered after the illusion disappeared. Then if his mobile phone is always carried around, it is very likely that it will be directly damaged due to a stronger impact.

If his mobile phone is broken and cannot be contacted, then when he returns to the border city in China tomorrow, will he think that she has returned to Chongyun Village to prepare meat rabbits and directly buy a ticket to Jianzhou?

This worry only flashed through her heart for a moment, and was immediately rejected by Xia Libing. She glanced at the notebook full of black circle graffiti on her knees, and then at the wooden box with chopsticks and several boxes on the table. A coin, knowing that Xiang Kun would never mistake her location.

…

Ye Zijun, who was in a hotel in Mentamira, was also scrolling through various domestic online platforms, looking at relevant news, and couldn't sleep all night, or couldn't sleep at all.

Last night, after the young Burmese guy sent her and her parents to the hotel, he said goodbye and left. She didn't even have time to ask for his name and contact information.

After being examined and bandaged by the doctor she and her parents found at the hotel, they determined that there was nothing wrong with her. It was just a few flesh wounds that she could just take care of and no longer need to go to the hospital. It could be said to be a blessing among misfortunes.

The hotel's security was relatively good, and soon a large number of armed police officers took to the streets. The riot did not last long.

Of course, in Ye Zijun's opinion, it was the giant walking through the city who quickly stopped the riot.

Or should I say... giant illusion?

Because some thoughtful people deliberately incited the riots, so the riots initially targeted Chinese shops and Chinese tourists.

So Ye Zijun saw a lot of radical and angry remarks on domestic social platforms, which directly denied everyone in Myanmar. So she posted on Zhihu, from the perspective of an eyewitness, about when she and her parents were attacked by five thugs. How he was "rescued" by a "passing" eight-armed acrostic giant, and how he was later rescued by a tall Burmese boy when he was entangled again by two thugs and escorted to the hotel.

Because she has always liked writing since middle school, and her writing skills are good. What she experienced this time was really shocking, deeply impressive, and had huge emotional fluctuations, so the long answers she wrote seemed very contagious. In addition, she The person who witnessed it quickly received a lot of approval and thanks, and the answer was directly pushed to the top three.

In her description, the five thugs who first attacked her family were crazy, cruel, and made her despair.

The eight-armed eight-eyed giant that suddenly appeared was huge, mysterious, and terrifying. After its appearance, the five thugs seemed to be greatly shocked, which was far greater than the reaction of her and her parents.

In her opinion, although the giant actually "saved" them, subjectively, it didn't care about them, the thugs, or all the creatures on the ground. It was just "passing by".

Later, she met the Burmese boy who saved their family of three, and she felt passionate and kind. She believed that with the existence of such people, whether it was Burma or Montamila, it was still a place with hope.

To be honest, the style of this answer is very different from what she has written before, and she feels like she is letting go.

And she has already made a decision. After returning to China this time, she will resign and start doing the job she wants to do.

In the past, she followed the rules and was cautious in everything. She had to act steadily and think twice before making any move. But after this time, she suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment and understood that life is inherently unpredictable, and she couldn't plan everything. Keep things under control.

She did not shrink away from death because of the sudden riots and dangers. She had seen the horror and mystery. She suddenly understood that what she was really afraid of and feared was the passage of life and the extinguishing of the passion for life. It is regretful to say "I could have..." when I get older.

In the morning of the next day, Ye Zijun, who was just a little sleepy and wanted to rest, suddenly received a call from the front desk, saying that the police were looking for her.

She was not surprised. After returning to the hotel yesterday, she also used the hotel phone to call the police, but as expected, she could not get through. It was estimated that too many people called the police and the line was always busy.

So she thought it was someone from the hotel who helped her call the police again. The police finally freed up manpower to investigate today.

But she went down to the lobby and met the police. After communicating through the hotel's translator, she found out that the other person came to her because of the local teenager who rescued her and her parents on the road yesterday and escorted them to the hotel.

Many people went to the police station to surrender early this morning. One of them revealed all his companions who went to smash up a drugstore together last night. The young man Mao Qiang was also one of them, so he was taken away by the police.

Maung Qiang explained to the police that he did not participate in the smashing of the drug store, but escorted three Chinese tourists back to the hotel, so the police sent someone to confirm.

After looking at the photos on the other party's mobile phone, Ye Zijun naturally confirmed the boy's story immediately, and the people in the hotel could also help prove that he was indeed the one who sent Ye Zijun's family of three last night.

Ye Zijun also knew why the other party specially sent someone to confirm this case, so he showed the answer she sent in China to the police officer, and then briefly introduced the relevant information in her answer. Great looking content.

Although the man couldn't read Chinese characters, he could still understand the number of likes and comments under the answer, and could see the popularity, so he asked Ye Zijun to help fill out a few forms, saying that Mao Qiang would be released soon, and that he might be released again. Get rewarded.

Ye Zijun took the opportunity to chat with the local police through an interpreter for a while. Although the specific number of casualties in the city could not be revealed to her yet, he still told her that so far, they had not found any tourists in the city yesterday. Killed in late riots.

In his words, he was also quite glad that the vision of the eight-armed and eight-eyed giant appeared last night. He even expressed his envy to Ye Zijun, who had seen and experienced the giant vision with his own eyes, and asked her what she thought at that time.

Not only the police, but also the hotel's translator also showed curiosity and envy when communicating, as if it was a great regret not to be able to see the giant.

By noon the next day, the fermentation of the Menta Mira incident on the Internet had reached its peak.

In China, most people who saw the relevant news were just watching the excitement.

But there is a small group of people, even though they are not in Montamila and have not personally experienced what happened last night, they have another overwhelming feeling when they see these news and messages.

For example, Chu Xiuwen, who had lunch with Zicheng and Chu Xiaoting at the "Youlong Hotel", initially didn't take it seriously when he heard the two young people talking about the "Montamilaksulu Incident" posted online. But when he heard the description of "a giant with eight arms, eight eyes, like a mountain", he was stunned as if he was shocked by an electric shock.
