What It’s Like Being a Vampire

The characteristics of "eight arms and eight eyes" can be said to be very impressive to Chu Xiuwen.

He has never seen the projection of the "eight-armed, eight-eyed monster", whether it was a dream projection or an illusion in reality, and he has never felt the influence of related fearful emotions.

However, through his old classmate Guo Lin's father, Mr. Guo, he saw the multi-armed "gatekeeper" when he was rescued from a heart attack, and the eight-armed and eight-eyed wood carving he saw in Qi Haoguo's new home later that year. Contacted Xiang Kun.

He believed that Xiang Kun might have some special talent or tool that could draw on the power of the "eight arms and eight eyes", so when Xiang Kun saved Mr. Guo and shocked Qi Haoguo, they would all see the "eight arms and eight eyes" Eye" monster exists.

Moreover, Chu Xiuwen speculated that Xiang Kun was not the only one to have this ability, and they should have an organization with others who could also do it.

After all, when Xiang Kun was in Citong, there was also a case in another city where a criminal suspect was frightened by an "eight-armed and eight-eyed monster".

Chu Xiuwen knew that someone in the Xia family had been kidnapped, and also knew that "Doctor Xia" Xia Libing was very close to Xiang Kun, so he took the initiative to help Xia Libing's third uncle contact Qi Haoguo and asked Qi Haoguo to use his connections in Myanmar to help. .

If he remembered correctly, the Xia family was kidnapped in Mentamira.

News came that the Xia family was kidnapped in Mentamila the day before yesterday, and today there was news of the appearance of an "eight-armed, eight-eyed monster" in Mentamila. If there was no connection, he would never believe it.

Chu Xiuwen took a sip of the soup casually and said, "Don't always look at your phone while eating. After all, I am also your elder."

Hearing this, Zicheng immediately sat upright, a little embarrassed.

Chu Xiaoting smiled and said: "Come on, Second Uncle, don't you often look at your phone while eating? I heard from my dad that Second Aunt often talks about you, but you told her to make full use of the fragmented time!"

Chu Xiuwen couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. This niece really didn't play by the rules. Doesn't he, an uncle, have no face?

However, he still took advantage of the situation and said as if to "change the subject": "By the way, what you just said about the monster in that Mongolian country in Myanmar is going on? Is it a rumor?"

"It's probably not a rumor. There are many tourists who have experienced and seen it in Menta Mira. They are from various countries. Most of the situations described are similar." Chu Xiaoting said.

"I think,

It should be that time last night, some natural phenomena that we cannot describe and understand in detail happened in Montamira, which caused drastic changes in the magnetic field in a certain area of ​​Montamira, and even affected human senses and Thoughts had an impact. "Zicheng couldn't help but express his opinion.

Chu Xiuwen followed their words and said, "Oh, that means that the monster is just an illusion produced by some people and is not real?"

Chu Xiaoting said: "I don't think it's an hallucination! If it were an hallucination, everyone wouldn't see a giant with eight arms and eight eyes!"

Zicheng adjusted his glasses and said: "So I say that the change in this environment should have an impact on the senses and thinking of the human body in the area. The image with eight arms and eight eyes is probably some kind of real, external being. Things with similar shapes, such as some buildings, big trees, or stone statues, under the influence of the environment, project the appearance of a giant with eight arms and eight eyes in the vision of the affected person. So you see, many personal experiences The descriptions of the giant and the monster differed in details. Some said it was two stories high, and some said it was like a mountain, at least dozens of meters. Some said the monster looked like metal. It has edges and corners, and is reflective. Some said that the monster's body was covered with tumors and juice was still leaking. So what they saw was the same thing, but it was not the same thing. It might be different from the location and surroundings. The environment is directly related. Of course, this is just a conjecture on my part.”

After hearing this, Chu Xiaoting frowned slightly, but nodded thoughtfully: "Listening to what you said, I agree with your judgment."

Chu Xiuwen was also startled when he heard it. He felt that what Zicheng said was indeed quite reasonable and quite similar. Could it be that theoretically, it was a similar implementation?

After all, Zicheng and Xiang Kun have a good relationship and have known each other for a long time. Maybe they know something?

But judging from Zi Cheng's demeanor and the way he expressed the content, Chu Xiuwen thought that he probably didn't know, otherwise he wouldn't have made these guesses or said anything.

He knew that since yesterday, neither Xiang Kun nor Dr. Xia was in Chongyun Village.

As for where exactly he went, whether he went to Burma or to Montamira, he didn't know.

He knew that Xiang Kun should have an official background, but he didn't know that the large-scale "eight-armed and eight-eyed monster" hallucination effect that appeared in Menta Mira this time was a special countermeasure taken by the government in response to the local riots attacking Chinese and tourists. , or was Xiang Kun acting alone to save Xia Tianhuo?

At this time, Chu Xiuwen didn't know the information that Xia Tianhuo had been rescued, and instinctively felt that the appearance of the "eight-armed and eight-eyed monster" in Mentamila was related to the rescue of Xia Tianhuo.

"Where do you read these news? Is it today's headlines or Penguin News?" Chu Xiuwen asked.

"You can read it on those news apps, but most of them are translated articles from foreign social media or news platforms, and many of them are directly copied from the content forwarded by netizens on various domestic platforms. I sent what we read to You see, many of them are posted by people who experienced it in Mentamila last night, first-hand information." Chu Xiaoting said, and shared several articles that she and Zicheng had just read through WeChat. Second uncle.

Regardless of the fact that he had just warned the two young people not to look at their phones while eating, Chu Xiuwen directly took his phone on the dining table and read through the articles and discussion posts.

At noon today, Myanmar officials have issued an announcement, saying that the riot that occurred in Mangtamila last night was caused by the fight between evil forces in several places. The local police in Mangtamila have taken strong and effective actions to promptly The riot was stopped and said that no tourists were killed in the riot. The relevant personnel have been severely punished by the law. The Montamila police have the ability to maintain local security and tourist safety.

It is obvious that Myanmar officials are trying their best to avoid the mass attacks on Chinese businesses and tourists that night, and also deliberately avoid talking about the monster or giant illusion that has affected many people and even shocked the entire international Internet.

However, the discussion on the Internet has not been affected at all by Myanmar's official announcement. The focus is still on the illusion of the "eight-armed and eight-eyed monster", and various speculations and discussions are still emerging in an endless stream.

After eating with Zicheng and Chu Xiaoting, Chu Xiuwen called Qi Haoguo directly and asked him if he had heard about what happened to Mentamila.

"I know." Qi Haoguo's answer on the phone was simple. He didn't say much, and he didn't even mention helping Uncle Xia Libing contact the forces in Myanmar for help.

Just when Chu Xiuwen thought that Qi Haoguo might not know very much about what happened to Mentamila and didn't know about the "eight-armed and eight-eyed monster", and was about to relay some of what he had just seen to the other party, Qi Haoguo But he sent out an invitation: "Are you free now? I bought some nice new Tieguanyin. Come and try it?"

Chu Xiuwen happily agreed and drove to Qi Haoguo's mansion in Tongshi Town.

Qi Haoguo, who was sitting in the bedroom and put down his mobile phone, raised his eyes and looked at the custom-made glass cabinet placed opposite the wall of a bedroom. There was a wooden sculpture with eight arms and eight eyes that he specially found someone to make according to his description.

Qi Haoguo stood up and walked slowly to the glass cabinet, feeling slightly excited.

But it has nothing to do with the wood carving itself. Although he tried his best to restore the details of the "eight-armed and eight-eyed monster" he saw originally, the master he commissioned to make the wood carving was also very skilled, but looking at the wood carving itself , but it didn’t have the psychological impact that the “eight-armed eight-eyed monster” had on him.

His excitement was mainly due to the news from Montamila.

Qi Haoguo knew the news about Meng Tamila's sudden appearance of the "eight-armed and eight-eyed monster" much earlier than Chu Xiuwen, and the way to learn the news was more comprehensive and direct.

Yesterday afternoon, after Xia Tianhuo was rescued, Uncle Xia Libing called him to tell him the situation. After all, he had been asked to inquire about information and establish contacts in Mentamira through connections.

The reason Xia Tianhuo escaped was due to internal strife among the kidnappers, which naturally had nothing to do with Wu Lun who Qi Haoguo entrusted.

At first, he was just a little regretful that he could not take this opportunity to rebuild his relationship with Xiang Kun through the Xia family.

But when he tried to contact Wu Lun later, he found that he couldn't contact him no matter what. This made him feel a little strange, so he tried to contact some other Montamila's old connections. Of course, the others were not Wu Lun. A big guy like Lun.

Then he learned a piece of news that made him a little confused. There was news circulating in Mentamila yesterday, saying that the people who killed the big boss's only son Tengli were the forces of the Guihai people.

He knew that before Xia Tianhuo was kidnapped, he was most likely in the same car with Teng Li, so the person who killed Teng Li was most likely the person who kidnapped Xia Tianhuo.

If this news is true, and it was spread throughout Montamila today, why didn't Wu Lun tell him?

Of course, because Xia Tianhuo had already escaped, he was just curious and confused about this, so he continued to pay attention to the subsequent development of this matter through more channels.

As a result, he learned the news that the "eight-armed and eight-eyed monster" appeared in Montamira that night and shocked all the thugs.

Shortly after midnight, before the relevant news spread on the Chinese Internet, he already knew the specific situation through local people in Montamila who had experienced it.

When I heard the well-established Chinese boss, who was already in his forties and ran a factory in Montamila, he was so excited and incoherent on the phone that he described the huge "giant" with multiple arms and multiple eyes he had seen. "At this time, Qi Haoguo's hand holding the phone was trembling slightly.

After repeatedly confirming what the Chinese boss saw and confirming that the "giant" he saw, except for its size and some details, its basic characteristics were basically the same as the "eight-armed and eight-eyed monster" he had seen, Qi Haoguo became excited. No less than the boss on the other end of the phone.

This feeling is a bit like repeatedly doing a big question that no one else knows about before the college entrance examination, firmly believing that you will get it. When the day of the college entrance examination comes, the test paper is handed out, and you see that the question is on the test paper.

It's like listening to a niche song silently for a long time, and almost no one else has heard it. Suddenly one day, I see that song dominating the screen in major media and dominating various charts, and it instantly becomes a phenomenon. .

At one o'clock in the morning, after he ended the call with the Chinese boss of Mentamila, he went to the bedroom with excitement and looked at the eight-armed and eight-eyed wooden sculpture.

After facing his inner fears a long time ago, Qi Haoguo had already reshaped and clarified his life pursuits and code of conduct. But knowing the existence that guided him to find his true self, after Monta Mira arrived in such a shocking way, although he could not see or feel everything that happened to Monta Mira, he still felt strongly inspired. And the feeling of being inspired and becoming more determined.

However, when he looked at the wooden sculpture he had found someone to carve in his bedroom, he had no intention of kneeling down, praying, or praising it, because his heart and spirit had truly been affected and truly contacted him. Know that it is not a god that requires others to believe in it in the traditional sense.

To respect it, you should recognize your own fears, then obey your inner needs and truly be yourself.

When you want to help others, just do it to the best of your ability and do your best. Don’t worry about whether you can get praise and thanks from others;

When you think something is wrong, don't do it, even if doing it will bring benefits and the risk is very small;

When you feel that certain things or people are important to you, then try your best to maintain and pursue them, and don’t be bound by realistic conditions and look forward and backward;

When you feel that a certain responsibility is something you should bear, then straighten your back and bear it, even if it will be very hard and difficult.

These things sound simple, but in fact they are very difficult. Qi Haoguo is far from achieving it, but he is in the direction of "obedience".

Because you know what the real fear is, as long as you "obey", you can keep moving in the other direction.

The farther he walked, the more determined he became. That feeling of "determination" in his spirit was very wonderful.

Qi Haoguo's family did not move to Tongshi Town with him. The only descendant who came with him, "Xiao Liu", was arranged to go to "Youlong Hotel" to help, and the aunt who did the housework was also sent out by him to do shopping, so when Chu Xiuwen When they arrived, Qi Haoguo was the only one in the entire three-story building.

After a brief exchange of greetings in the living room, Qi Haoguo told Chu Xiuwen the "internal information" he had obtained through Mengtamila's channel.

"Although the official statement from Menta Mira is that no tourists died last night, as if the riot caused no disturbance. In fact, 29 people died and nearly a thousand were injured last night, but 17 of the dead were local forces. As a result of the fire fight, 12 of them were seriously injured and died in self-defense when they stormed a Chinese shop, or they died from internal strife and attacks on each other. Indeed, none of the tourists died. Oh, by the way, remember the Wu Lun you mentioned when you contacted me yesterday? ? That guy also died last night, killed by his own men. The specific reason is not known yet. "

It is true that Chu Xiuwen could not see this information from the relevant news on the Internet, but he knew very well what the real reason was for the small number of tourist casualties. He was not concerned about the inside story, whether Wu Lun, the boss, or the thug would kill him. He didn't care at all. What he really cared about was the illusion of the "eight-armed and eight-eyed monster", so he took the initiative to mention:

"Have you seen the discussion on the Internet? The vision that appeared in Menta Mira last night? According to the descriptions of the parties and witnesses on the Internet, I always feel that... it is the same as the eight-armed eight-armed man I saw at your house last night. Does the eye wood sculpture look similar?"

After Chu Xiuwen finished speaking, he stared at Qi Haoguo's face, trying to pay attention to the changes in his expression.

This was a fairly direct test, but Qi Haoguo's expression did not change. He continued to make tea calmly, and then said seemingly casually: "Brother Chu, what is your biggest fear?"

Naturally, Qi Haoguo would not reveal what he knew about the "eight-armed eight-eyed monster", but it was not without a way to discuss it.

He knew that Chu Xiuwen also had some information that he didn't know, and he must know some secrets of the "eight-armed and eight-eyed monster", and he wanted to find out.

…

Sheep City.

After Zhao Feng and Wang De'an returned from Iwaki City, they returned to the task force and continued to follow the instructions of the task force leader to trace the suspect Guo Tianxiang.

However, there has been no progress in the investigation. Even though Mi Qiao, who had been in contact with the suspect for a long time, was found and received great cooperation, it was not possible to further locate the suspect's whereabouts.

We can only be sure that before the suspect finally disappeared, he went to Liushi to meet someone, but he did not meet him.

The task force put a lot of effort into asking colleagues from the technical department to help with the investigation, but so far they have not been able to determine the identity of the person the suspect wants to see.

Zhao Feng and Wang De'an went to Iwaki before to investigate Guo Tianxiang's early activities in Star City to see if there was any possibility that Guo Tianxiang was hiding in Iwaki.

Wang De'an worked in Iwaki before joining the task force, so he and Zhao Feng teamed up to investigate.

However, after completing the task of the task force, the two of them found an excuse to visit the witness and reporter in a previous case that Wang De'an handled.

To be honest, the chat with the blind girl named Li Jun for more than an hour really left a deep impression on them.

Because the two of them were "popularized" about birds for more than an hour, and when they talked about bird-related issues, the girl really talked non-stop.

But don't mention it, more than 90% of what Li Jun said was something they had never heard before, and it was quite novel.

Even if they didn't take the initiative to leave in the end, they felt that Li Jun would have no problem chatting for a few more hours.

They also saw the canary as they wished, but according to their observations, they did not see any difference between this bird and other canaries.

Because Li Jun's father, Professor Li Yang, was nearby, it was difficult for them to directly ask about the strange behavior of the canary captured on the driving recorder of the suspect's car that night. Otherwise, it would mean that they were here to "inquire" about the case. Li Jun, not only will they not be able to continue chatting, but they will also have to be held accountable later.

So they could only pretend to ask how to train "guide birds", but according to Li Jun, her ability to train canaries to become guide birds was directly related to her own familiarity with birds. Others may It's hard to imitate. However, she also put forward her own set of related theories and suggested some possible methods for domesticating "guide birds" that the staff of the "blind school" mentioned by Zhao Feng can try.

Although no evidence was found that the canary was unusual this time, after the meeting with Li Jun, the two of them had the same feeling:

"This girl doesn't look like a blind person at all."

"She has a very certain feeling about her surroundings. "

"She has a gentle attitude and a soft voice, but when she speaks, she appears very confident."

"This girl is special."

But these are very subjective feelings, and they did not find any substantive evidence.

Moreover, they both also like this blind girl who is optimistic, knowledgeable, intelligent, enthusiastic, and has a sense of justice, and they do not want to have even the slightest impact on her because of some rash investigations.

Just when the two of them were staying in Yangcheng and temporarily wanted to put aside the investigation of the "multi-armed monster" and focus on the pursuit of Guo Tianxiang, they saw what happened to Menta Mira on the Internet and saw the personal lives of those involved. Description of experience.

Just as they were shocked and searching for relevant information on the Internet, the leader of the task force called them over to a separate conference room and introduced them to a leader.

But what puzzled them was that the leader did not give any title, but called himself Lao He.
