What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Due to air traffic control, a large number of flights at the airport were delayed. It was not until about six o'clock in the evening that Xiang Kun boarded the plane back to Citong.

At this time, almost twenty hours had passed since he felt the urge to drink blood.

Although it is daytime, the mania and violence brought about by the urge to drink blood are not as strong as at night, but continued and long-term suppression is like an accumulation of flammable gas, and there is a danger of being ignited and exploding at any time.

When I was in Montamila before, I saw a lot of bloody and violent scenes. If Xiang Kun had just mutated not long ago, he would have "exploded".

Therefore, even if he can keep calm and awake by sensing Lao Xia's "quasi-emotions" from time to time, the induction time cannot last too long or too frequently, otherwise he may feel "sophisticated". "Emotion" is just a purely psychological suppression, but the physiological need to drink blood will intensify.

Of course, under normal circumstances, if there were no accidents and no strong external stimulation, he was still completely confident that he could suppress the urge to drink blood for another 24 hours and maintain his sanity.

After sitting on the plane, Xiang Kun fastened his seat belt and closed his eyes, just like he had done many times after his mutation, and pretended to be asleep.

And just like before, when Xiang Kun was "falsely asleep", he also entered a "supersensory state" and then memorized and judged the cognitive information of the aircraft's mechanical and electronic components.

He does this every time he takes a plane, and until now, basically every time he takes a plane, the model is 737-800 Winglets. Except for a few differences, most of the structures and electronic components are similar, which facilitates his correspondence and acceptance. know the information.

Moreover, he has already read all the drawings, design manuals, operation manuals, maintenance manuals and other related materials that can be found for this model, and can more easily combine the cognitive information in the "super-sensory state" and the component structure in reality, Correspond to the information on the drawing.

If Xiang Kun is willing, he can already affect all the electronic components of the aircraft in his "super-sensory state".

But for now, what he can do accurately is to turn on and off the reading light and control all the indicator lights on and off. Other more specific operations are not possible, especially controlling the flight of an airplane, which is not possible yet.

Of course, he had no idea in this regard and would not try it. If it affected the flight of the plane, it would threaten the lives of the passengers on the entire plane.

So on the plane, after entering the "supersensory state", he basically just distinguishes and understands various cognitive information on the plane.

There is no attempt to have any influence through "super-connected things".

The reason why he did this was not because he wanted to fly the plane after understanding all the cognitive information of the plane, or for some other purpose. The main reasons were, first, he was interested, and second, when he had the urge to drink blood, When you enter a "supersensory state" and focus on what you are doing, you can better temporarily get rid of the influence of the urge to drink blood.

After leaving the "super-sensory state", he would sense Lao Xia's "quasi-emotion". After the induction, he would enter the "super-sensory state" again. Such an alternating cycle could ensure that he would always be in a peaceful and stable state and would not be confused. Let your emotions explode with mania and violence.

After the plane landed and walked out of the airport, Xiang Kun directly called a car and headed to Lao Xia's house.

He didn't ask Lao Xia to pick him up, because he knew that Lao Xia was fighting the sleepiness of the Sandman just like he was fighting the urge to drink blood. It was too dangerous to drive now.

Arriving at the door of Lao Xia's house, Xiang Kun rang the doorbell and the door opened.

Lao Xia, who came to open the door, could hardly keep his eyes open. After confirming that it was him, he opened the door, sat back on the sofa, then slowly leaned over, retracted his legs, and fell asleep in seconds.

Obviously, after seeing him come back, Lao Xia stopped forcing himself to stay awake and obeyed the Sandman's call.

Xiang Kun was not surprised at all. Counting the time, Lao Xia had not slept for more than 30 hours, which was longer than the time he had the urge to drink blood.

Although Lao Xia possesses abilities such as "fantasies appear" and "dreams within dreams" through the "supersensory object system", in essence, he is still an ordinary person.

Therefore, Xiang Kun often monitors and analyzes Lao Xia's physical condition through infrared thermal imaging visual mode and various sensory information to ensure that there is no problem with Lao Xia's physical condition. Once he is too tired, his immunity will decline and he will be at risk of illness. If so, you have to let her adjust her schedule and living habits, and not let her continue to stay up late with you.

Perhaps Lao Xia is studying medicine, and has a good understanding and management of his own body, and has relatively good adjustment methods and skills. At least so far, although Lao Xia has helped him watch the blood-drinking sleep period several times, he is doing other things. When doing related research, I often go to bed very late, and often perform "dream within dream" operations during my sleep. But basically every time I am tired, as long as I sleep well and eat well, my body will recover relatively well. I have not found any Trends in organ disease.

In terms of his talent for staying up late and his physical recovery ability, Lao Xia is definitely SS-level among ordinary people.

If Lao Xia was his employee, he would definitely be criticized as a black-hearted boss. This intensity would be close to 24x7.

Of course, this metaphor is not appropriate. After all, Lao Xia's net worth is much greater than his. Lao Xia is currently paying for all the money for preparing laboratories and research centers.

Xiang Kun didn't need to go to the kitchen to check. As soon as he walked in, he could tell just by the smell that Lao Xia had prepared several meat rabbits for him.

So although the urge to drink blood became stronger again after nightfall, when the blood source was ready, Xiang Kun did not immediately start drinking blood and fall asleep. Instead, he first took Lao Xia's notebook and placed it next to Lao Xia's. Feet, sit in the corner of the sofa and take a look at the extent of the discussion on the Internet about the Monta Mira incident last night.

While he was waiting to check in at the airport, he heard more than one person in the terminal discussing the matter of Monta Mira with friends.

Moreover, everyone’s focus on the Monta Mira incident was on the illusion of the “eight-armed and eight-eyed monster”. As for the impact of the riot itself, it was downplayed a lot. After all, in the emotional projection of the “eight-armed and eight-eyed wooden sculpture” Under the influence, no tourists were killed in the riot last night, and the negative impact was much smaller.

While browsing related discussions on major platforms, Xiang Kun was thinking about another question:

If the official agencies of various countries knew about the existence of "mutated creatures", would they think that the illusion of the "eight-armed and eight-eyed monster" projected by emotions was created by "mutated creatures"? What kind of related investigations will be conducted, and what kind of adjustments or guidance will be made to the online discussions?

What will a giant like Shenxing Technology, which is tracking, investigating, and researching "mutated organisms", do?

Will there be other mutant humans or "vampires" who will see these news and have related associations?

After all, when he first mutated, when he searched for relevant information on the entire Internet, he could not find any useful information, which made him think that he was the first mutant, or that the relevant information was completely blocked.

But speaking of it, if he had searched for these news on the Internet when he first mutated, he would not have felt at all that it had anything to do with his "mutation".

Even according to his usual way of thinking, he would speculate whether there was a leak of some kind of hallucinogenic gas in the local area, causing people in a small area to have hallucinations, and were affected by the same environmental factors, so they saw the same shape of the "eight-armed eight-armed monster". "Eye monster" hallucination, and you don't think it has anything to do with "mutated creatures" - after all, the monster hallucination doesn't drink blood everywhere, right?

This incident also made Xiang Kun feel even more strange. In today's mobile Internet era, the emotional projection of the "eight-armed and eight-eyed wooden sculpture", a group event that can be realized afterward as an illusion or hallucination, can It caused such a huge discussion on the international Internet.

Then if it is the body of other "mutated creatures", such as the mutated big bird, the previous mutated ants, mutated spiders, or a "vampire" like Guo Tianxiang, suddenly the brain gets hot and is affected by the urge to drink blood. If someone went on a rampage in a central area of ​​a city where humans live, and someone filmed it and uploaded it to the Internet, then there shouldn't be any way to completely block or tamper with the news, right?

In an era when television and print media were the main channels of communication, or even in an era when the Internet was just developing, it was possible to quickly curb the spread of certain news or messages as long as the reaction speed was fast enough, and the news could be restricted to a local area. .

But in today's mobile Internet era, everyone is a "self-media" and everyone has a strong ability to spread information. "Small events" can be said to be "small events". There are many ways to influence and interfere with them. "Big events" have been witnessed and recorded by many people. ”, but it is almost impossible to be completely restricted.

For example, when Chang Bin got married, he heard his old classmate Xie Jun talk about the "horned wolf car crash" they encountered when they went to test the car in the wild.

If a "mutated creature" that only appears in remote areas and in front of a small number of people is "handled" as soon as possible, there is indeed a way to suppress the news and make the parties involved confused about the situation and unsure of what they saw and heard. .

But if the "horned wolf" appeared at a downtown intersection, hit a car and then escaped, it would be difficult to hide the news.

Unless... no "mutated creature" has ever lost control in public before?

Xiang Kun felt that this possibility should be the highest, but he couldn't figure out why no "mutated creatures" went out of control in public, because based on his understanding of "mutated creatures", it didn't seem very reasonable.

Judging from the memory fragments of mutant spiders and giant owls he obtained, although they understand the "human danger", they all spy on humans and human cities.

Like a giant owl, he finally went straight into the first-tier city where he was before.

They create "big events" in big cities and are witnessed, recorded, and spread by a large number of people. Judging from the probability, it should be quite large.

Xiang Kun did not continue to think deeply about this issue that he had thought about countless times before. It was obvious that the information he obtained still had flaws. However, as he explored "Shenxing Technology" more deeply, he believed that it would soon be solved. Can know.

After working on the computer for a while, Xiang Kun got up and went to the kitchen to drink blood.

After drinking blood, all the rabbit meat was processed and put in the refrigerator, then Xiang Kun took a bath and prepared to sleep.

But after looking at Xia Libing, who couldn't stretch out on the sofa because her legs were too long and could only sleep curled up, Xiang Kun thought about it and picked her up, went into her room, and put her on the bed. Cover her with quilt.

According to Xiang Kun's observations and deductions, if she slept in the same position just now, she would definitely not be very comfortable when she woke up tomorrow. There was even a small chance that she might have a stiff neck, which would be detrimental to her body's recovery from fatigue, so she still put her on the bed. Sleep as well.

As for Xiang Kun himself, he randomly found a blanket and made a bed in the corner of the room. Anyway, with his current body, the sleeping environment didn't matter at all and had no impact.

Not sleeping on the sofa in the living room was to prevent relatives and friends such as Xia Libing's third aunt and uncle from suddenly coming to the door before he ended his slumber. At that time, Lao Xia would not have the strength to carry him into the room and hide him while he was asleep.

Lying on the blanket, Xiang Kun glanced at Xia Libing on the bed not far away and realized that this seemed to be the first time the two of them slept at the same time after he told Lao Xia the secret of mutation?

So before, whether it was at Lao Xia's house, his house, or the house in Chongyun Village, the two of them only needed one bed, because only one person always needed to sleep.

Xiang Kun's eyelids slowly closed, and he also fell into a deep sleep instantly.

However, less than two hours after he fell asleep, Xia Libing's cell phone rang. After the second round of five or six rings, Xia Libing finally opened his eyes on the bed.
