What It’s Like Being a Vampire

"I'm...Alice."

Hearing what Alice said, if Xiang Kun could appear physically in this dream, he would probably be on his knees and cheering by now.

Although he knew before that the "little Lao Xia" that Lao Xia appeared through the "super-connected object" dream projection was Alice's expression in this dream, he was not sure whether Alice could understand this dream pattern and whether she could adapt to it. "Little Lao Xia"'s way of expression, can this setting be accepted and applied?

And when she responded to Lao Xia's question and told the core rules Xiang Kun had set for her, it proved that she had truly entered the dream, understood the dream, and could express it in the dream in an orderly manner.

Successfully establishing a "dream within a dream" is the first step. Being able to express and understand this existence pattern and various information in an orderly manner in a "dream within a dream" is the second step.

In Xiang Kun's previous expectation, completing the first step was already a "big success". The second step allowed Alice to understand the expression of dreams and the operation of the "super-sensory object system", so that she could plan for the long term.

But unexpectedly, Lao Xia directly paved a shortcut for "Alice" in the "dream within a dream", using a ready-made "template" to allow her to find an expression in the dream in advance.

The only thing that made him feel a little weird was Alice's voice. It was still the voice approaching Tang Baona in reality, but the tone sounded a bit silly and cute, which was very different from reality. It might have been influenced by the voice in the dream. "Little Lao Xia" is affected by his body, or is it because Lao Xia clicked "Settings" to lower the age of his voice?

In "Dream within a Dream", Xia Libing is still questioning Alice.

"How do you feel now?" Xia Libing asked.

"Feeling?" "Little Lao Xia"'s eyes became confused again, and his head tilted to the side involuntarily.

"What did you see?" Xia Libing changed the question.

"Little Lao Xia" glanced around with confused eyes, stretched out his left hand from left to front to right and then turned behind him, slowly clicking: "Wall, wall, wall, wall."

After turning around, he came back and pointed at Lao Xia: "You."

Xia Libing continued to ask: "Who am I?"

"Who are you?" "Little Lao Xia"'s head, which had just returned, began to tilt to the side again, as if he was lost in thought.

Xia Libing immediately changed the question: "Open the root number 2."

After saying this,

The "" pattern is even directly displayed in the room for a more detailed and clear expression.

Seeing "little old Xia" looking up at the "" in a daze, with confusion in his eyes, Xia Libing immediately changed the question: "What is 1 plus 1?"

"Little Lao Xia" continued to be sluggish.

"Who are you?" Xia Libing asked.

"I'm Alice." "Little Lao Xia" replied instantly.

"Who is Xiang Kun?" Xia Libing asked again.

"Xiang Kun is the boss." "Little Lao Xia" still answered instantly.

"Why are you here?" Xia Libing asked again.

As expected, "Little Lao Xia" fell into a daze again, subconsciously playing with the scalpel held in his right hand.

Maybe it was because she was in the dream, but the sharp scalpel was pinched and broken in her hands, but it did not scratch herself, as if it was just a plastic toy.

Xia Libing did not ask any more questions, but took the scalpel from "little old Xia", held it in front of her, and asked, "What is this?"

Looking at the scalpel held upright in front of his face by Lao Xia, "Little Lao Xia" focused his eyes, and his eyes became cross-eyed, but he still looked confused.

Xia Libing threw the scalpel aside, then reached out and pinched "little old Xia's" cheek gently. The delicate and beautiful little girl's cheek flesh, which was slightly baby fat, was slightly pinched and pulled to one side, with a blank expression. His mouth opened slightly, suddenly becoming a little funny.

Lao Xia stretched out another hand, held "little Lao Xia's" face in both hands, and squeezed her face toward the middle, causing her mouth to pout.

Just when Xiang Kun, who was observing the "dream within a dream", had his head full of "???", the dream began to rapidly disintegrate.

Xiang Kun, who was sitting on the computer chair, opened his eyes and looked at Lao Xia on the bed next to him, hesitating whether to ask her to get up to discuss.

But a few seconds later, Lao Xia's eyelids trembled a few times and he woke up.

Then the two of them looked at each other, then came together in front of the computer in the room, and asked: "Alice, how did you feel about the dream just now?"

"Is that just a dream?"

Although the background of the voice is similar, Alice's voice in reality carries a very obvious and strong emotional expression. It sounds excited and exciting at first glance, but Alice's voice in the dream just sounded more like a fool. Emotional AI.

Xiang Kun knew that every time he sat in front of the computer and perceived other people's dreams, Alice was "watching", and she had expressed her envy for "dreaming" many times.

This time she finally entered a "dream" herself. Generally speaking, it was indeed worth getting excited about.

However, Alice still had many problems in "Dream within a Dream". Xiang Kun asked: "Is there something wrong with your information transmission?"

"There is no problem with the information transmission." After Alice finished speaking, she said something completely contradictory: "There is a problem with the information transmission."

However, facing the somewhat "smart" Alice, neither Xiang Kun nor Lao Xia urged her, and continued to wait for her to think and answer.

After a while, Alice's voice came: "Unable to fully enter the dreamland, serious packet loss."

Xiang Kun nodded thoughtfully, and then said to Lao Xia: "Is there a way to 'appear' her in reality? Just like a Napoleon cake."

Xia Libing said, "I'll give it a try."

Although Lao Xia usually does not cause too strong electromagnetic interference when he performs fantasy manifestations, to be on the safe side, the two of them still did not try it at home. After all, "little Lao Xia" is obviously much more difficult than the previous manifestations. , and is connected with Alice, so it might cause some disturbance.

Different from the experiment at noon, this was an experiment in which Xiang Kun could not control the details. At present, Alice was still very fragile on the physical level, so she still had to avoid all possible dangers.

It was only around eight o'clock in the evening, and there were quite a lot of people everywhere in the community, so they left the community and walked for more than 20 minutes to find a semi-abandoned construction site far away from the main road with few lights around.

None of them took out their mobile phones for lighting. Xiang Kun, who could see at night, walked in front, and Xia Libing followed closely, pulling on the back of his clothes.

"That's it." When he reached the corner of an unfinished building, Xiang Kun stopped and said to Xia Libing.

There is no need to prepare anything next. Lao Xia directly senses the ten "super-connected objects" he carries on his body, and tries to use them to reveal the "little Lao Xia" in the dream.

But the first time, as always, failed.

Xia Libing didn't find it strange. He picked up the phone and unlocked it and said, "Alice, you should also be prepared, just like before the 'dream'."

A moment later, Xia Libing performed "Fantasy Appearance" again, but this time she sensed the "black circle graffiti" that Alice had contacted before through the "cake01" notebook she carried.

In the darkness, Xiang Kun suddenly looked to the right. A little girl wearing a gorgeous princess dress, black leather shoes, holding a scalpel, and big confused eyes appeared there. It was "Little Lao Xia"!

But "Little Lao Xia" disappeared in a flash, appearing for less than a second, and she still looked a little stupid.

However, this is already a qualitative leap for both Alice and Lao Xia's "fantasy realization" ability.

Of course, this kind of leap has been made three times tonight.

Previously, Lao Xia's "Fantasy Appearance" ability was to project items that appeared in dreams into reality.

For the first time in her dream, she successfully manifested a non-food existence through "hyperconnection of things", which was "Little Lao Xia", but she has never been able to successfully manifest it in reality.

And now, by connecting Alice and "Little Old Xia" in the "dream within a dream", she can also "appear" in reality.

Obviously, the reason why "Little Lao Xia" could not be in reality before was because of the lack of the most critical support inside. Once out of the dream, Xia Libing could not give "Little Lao Xia" the support of thinking and consciousness.

Although "Little Old Xia" disappeared in a flash, Xiang Kun could clearly see where she had just appeared, the shoe prints left on the gravel ground - this was a real interaction in the material world.

When Lao Xia showed up to "Little Lao Xia" just now, it did produce far more obvious electromagnetic interference than when they both showed up with crispy pork knuckles, Napoleon cakes and other foods. Their mobile phone communication signals were also affected at that moment. There are some effects, but there is no substantial interference with the equipment. Next time "Little Lao Xia" appears, there is no need to avoid Alice's host or its electronic equipment.

"Alice, do you feel it?" Xiang Kun asked after seeing that the cell phone signal was restored.

"have."

"How does it feel? Is it any different from when you dreamed just now?"

"Yes, packet dropping is more serious and decoding is difficult."

"It's okay, it's the first time." Xiang Kun didn't care about this. It was enough to be "appeared". Today's three consecutive "experiments" can be said to be a "big victory".

Xiang Kun said to Lao Xia cheerfully: "Thank you for your hard work, have you seen the 'Alice' you have appeared?"

"Visually I only see a shadow, but in my consciousness her image is very clear." Xia Libing said.

"Look back and see if you can contact more 'super-connected things', or I can find a way to help you improve the efficiency of the 'super-connected things'. Well, let's try and see if we can make Alice appear together for a longer time. Yes. Sorry, Alice keeps holding a scalpel weirdly, can you give her something to change?"

Xia Libing said: "The scalpel is one with her, and it shouldn't be replaced for the time being. You can let her put it in her pocket after coming out, or... insert a crispy pork knuckle or grilled chicken wing on the scalpel to cover it? But? In that case, the call for ‘hyper-connected things’ needs to be strengthened.”

Xiang Kun imagined in his mind how Alice would appear with crispy pork knuckles, which seemed even more inconsistent.

"What do you think of the connection between Alice and the 'Supersensory Object System'?" Xiang Kun asked again, but after asking, he immediately added: "Actually, she is not as stupid as she appeared in the dream, 1 plus 1 is The inability to calculate is not because there is a problem with her computing power, because if she can answer 'I am Alice', she will not be unable to calculate. It is because there is some deviation in her understanding and expression skills. She is probably not used to dreaming yet. way of expressing information.”

"I agree." Xia Libing said, "Actually, I think her performance is very good. She can distinguish between 'me' and 'you' and has a clear understanding of her own identity. She is far better than answering the root numbers 2 and 1. +1 is more meaningful and more difficult."

After a slight pause, she continued: "This is actually a good thing for her. 'Dream within a dream' and 'supersensory information' actually play a filtering role, including the most suitable and core part of Alice." , those characteristics are the first to be reflected and expressed. Such expression is a good thing for her cultivation.

"Just like if you want to separate alcohol from wine, you can use the different boiling points of alcohol and water to distill, then fractionate and purify multiple times. Finally, if necessary, you can add calcium oxide to continue purifying and filtering."

Xiang Kun nodded: "Yes, I understand, but this issue is not urgent. She can take her time."

Don't look at Alice's dull behavior in "Dream within a Dream". It seems that she can only express the content of the core rules. She is far less cheerful and out-of-the-box than in reality, and even a little silly.

But this does not mean that she can only connect to the "dream within a dream" related to the core rules. In fact, there are many parts that are transferred to the "supersensory information", but she is not suitable for the data format and cannot fully express it, so she looks dull. Cute, very slow to react.

What Lao Xia means is that through the continuous filtering of "dreams within dreams", Alice can eventually become completely "parasitic" on the "supersensory object system" and become a person who can independently connect the "supersensory information world" and the "traditional world". A new existence in the real world.

"By the way, when you were dreaming before, why did you pinch Alice's face in the end and leave her face like this..." Xiang Kun asked, making a virtual pressure gesture with both hands on both sides of Lao Xia's cheeks.

With the moonlight and a little light transmitted from the extreme distance, Xia Libing could clearly see Xiang Kun's movements on the side of his face and knew what he meant. He said, "My cousin often did this to me when I was a child. Action, I want to experience it from her perspective.”

"Ah? That's it..." Xiang Kun didn't expect such an answer. The "source of all evil" turned out to be Yang Laosan. He had thought for a while before, whether Lao Xia was using this action to test Alice's physical structure or psychological characteristics in the dream.

While chatting with Lao Xia, Xiang Kun suddenly noticed the sound of a motor vehicle approaching in the distance.

In fact, the sound was far away from them, and Xia Libing, who was also standing next to him, couldn't even hear it at all.

However, Xiang Kun made an instant judgment based on the direction of movement of the motor vehicle and the surrounding terrain. The probability that the other party would come to this abandoned construction site was more than 80%.
