What It’s Like Being a Vampire

The taxi stopped. Zhao Feng asked the female translator to pay the starting fee with the driver, then got out of the car together and walked back to Maang Qiang.

Wang De'an knew this old brother and roommate very well, and knew that he must have a reason for doing this, so he kept silent and followed silently.

Although the female translator was puzzled, her job and main task was to assist Zhao and Wang, so she naturally did not raise any objections, quickly paid the money, and then continued to work as a translator to help Zhao Feng and Maang Qiang communicate.

Returning to Maung Qiang, after communicating with the Burmese boy again for a while, the female translator frowned and said to Zhao Feng: "Maung Qiang said that when we came out just now, he saw the other side of the street at the door...that's over there , there was a white man wearing sunglasses. Yesterday, I asked him about the illusion. He felt that that person gave him a bad feeling. Then you decided to go to him to ask a few words, and we crossed the road together and stopped him. Let the white man speak. After we chatted with him for a while, we hailed a cab directly on the roadside and prepared to leave. The white man had already hailed a cab and left before we hailed a cab."

Wang De'an suddenly said: "When I think about it now, after we finished eating and paid the bill, my memory jumped directly to the place where we called for a taxi and said goodbye to Maang Qiang. How we left the hotel and how we crossed the road to get here, I can't even think about. Woke up."

After hearing what he said, the female translator also said thoughtfully: "It seems really..."

Zhao Feng asked the female translator: "Does his father remember anything?"

After asking Maung Qiang's father, the female translator said: "He has no memory either. He remembers that we were ready to leave after we finished eating. He doesn't remember any white people."

Seeing the conversation between them and the translator's questions about his father, Maang Qiang obviously realized something and quickly said a few words to the translator.

After the translator finished listening, he said to Zhao Feng: "He said there was something wrong with that person's voice. When he communicated with us, he didn't seem to speak English, but none of us had any reaction and seemed to understand. The person said Maybe it can hypnotize us all."

Zhao Feng asked again where they stopped the white man for communication, then walked over and looked around to see if there were any cameras around.

But here in Myanmar, unlike in China, almost every store has a camera, or even more than one. There are not many cameras here that can take pictures on the road near the store entrance.

However, after observing for a while, they still found a store with a camera that could take pictures of the area, and then asked the female translator to use her "money skills" to communicate with the people in the store there and get the permission to view the video. Qualifications.

After adjusting the time forward, they saw a group of five people passing by the door.

Then, going further, under Maang Qiang’s identification, they saw the “white man”.

However, due to the angle of the video, only the lower body was photographed, which was a pair of dark trousers and a pair of expensive-looking leather shoes.

Although there was no specific footage of the five of them catching up with this person and communicating with each other, it can indeed be seen from the movement trends of the five of them in the surveillance video that they were chasing the white man, and they did not have any memory of this period. impression.

"Are we really hypnotized by that person?" Wang De'an turned around and whispered to Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng nodded slightly: "I'm afraid it is." After saying that, he asked the female translator to ask Mao Qiang why he said that English sentence when he was beside the car - because that English sentence made him feel strange It felt like it was not the first time I heard Mao Qiang say it.

After knowing that the English sentence was spoken by Maang Qiang and him during a brief conversation at the door of the hotel, they returned to the door of the hotel and asked the hotel to adjust the surveillance video in the lobby. In the video, they could see that when the female translator was checking out, Zhao Feng and Mao Qiang's back was standing at the door talking.

Zhao Feng asked about the content of their conversation in detail, and then walked to the door of the hotel with Maang Qiang and replayed the previous conversations.

When he heard Maang Qiang say in a very strong accent: "I feel is not good." and pointed to the other side of the street, some pictures and a very strong sense of familiarity vaguely appeared in Zhao Feng's mind.

"I remembered something. That white man is very problematic." Zhao Feng said with certainty.

It is very unreasonable for that white man to have such a hypnotic ability that completely subverts common sense, and it is even more unreasonable to use it on so many of them in the street. In addition, he also asked Maung Qiang about the "Eight-Armed and Eight-Eyed Giant Illusion" yesterday. Of course, Zhao Feng and the others couldn't let go of this clue that came to their door - they came to Mentamila to investigate this kind of thing.

The female translator immediately took out her mobile phone and said: "I'll contact Lao Fan." Faced with this special and strange situation, she was still very calm, and Fan Peng could rest assured that she would take Zhao and Wang to Menta Mira. After investigation, it is obvious that she is also a member of the secret department of "Shenxing Technology" and is not just a translator or guide.

Zhao Feng continued to chat with Maang Qiang in loose English: "Are you ok?"

But as soon as he said these words, Wang De'an next to him laughed out loud.

"What?" Zhao Feng asked, "My grammar is wrong?"

"No, no, my English is also very bad. You continue chatting. I just thought of a video I watched before." Wang De'an quickly put away his smile and said.

So Zhao Feng continued to ask: "Why do you remember him?"

He knew that Mao Qiang understood what he meant and was asking why he was not hypnotized and had no amnesia.

Mao Qiang shook his head: “I don’t know why.”

After observing his expression, Zhao Feng asked again: "Are you scared?"

Logically speaking, when encountering such weird things and weird people, he and Wang De'an, a former policeman who has seen all kinds of things in the world, feel a little uncomfortable. This Burmese boy should not behave so calmly. , there was no sign of fear on his face at all. On the contrary, after they confirmed that they had talked to the white man and were briefly hypnotized, he seemed to be relieved.

Mao Qiang replied firmly: "No."

Then he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but maybe because of his limited English vocabulary, he couldn't say it. He frowned and hesitated for a while. When he saw the female translator coming over after making the call, he said to her in Burmese. A long list.

The female translator was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but she still relayed it to Zhao Feng: "He said that he knew what he was really afraid of, so he was not afraid of other fears. As long as he knew what to do and what not to do, it didn't matter. Afraid or not afraid, nothing will change."

After the female translator finished speaking, she paused for a moment and frowned: "I'm not sure what he meant. Anyway, it's probably because he has something more afraid of, so he doesn't think there is much need to be afraid of other things?"

In fact, Zhao Feng and Wang De'an instantly understood what Maang Qiang wanted to express, because they also heard similar words from the suspects when they were investigating the two cases in China where the suspects saw "hallucinations of eight-armed and eight-eyed monsters". been.

So, the fact that Mao Qiang was not affected has something to do with the vision he had seen?

In this case, combined with the fact that the white man asked Maung Qiang about the hallucination yesterday, the white man may not be directly related to the large-scale hallucination of Menta Mira on the night of the 8th, but is here to investigate this matter just like them.

But why would he hypnotize them? Is it because something was exposed?

After receiving the call from the female translator, Fan Peng drove over in a car with two people.

Fan Peng communicated with them for a while, and then after observing the situation on this street, he said with certainty: "We will find that person."

Zhao Feng did not doubt this. The female translator also told him before that the capital power of "Shenxing Technology" has a strong influence in several Southeast Asian countries and has enough local resources to help them conduct some investigations.

Zhao Feng glanced at Maang Qiang and his son not far away, and expressed to the female translator that he was a little worried about their safety, fearing that the white man would realize the reason for the failure of hypnosis and come back to cause trouble for them.

The female translator said: "We will arrange for people to pay attention to their safety, don't worry."

Just as a group of them were driving Mao Qiang's ax home and preparing to trace the white man's whereabouts, Fan Peng answered the phone and said to Zhao Feng: "'Mr. Liang' is looking for you."

Taking over the intercom, which was obviously different from ordinary mobile phones and looked much bulkier. When he heard the low and hoarse sound, as if there were metal particles rubbing against each other when speaking, Zhao Feng was stunned for a while, and his mind was filled with confusion. The imaginary picture paired with this sound is Bane wearing a mask in the movie "The Dark Knight".

"Mr. Liang" first asked about the image of the white man. This information was actually obtained from Maang Qiang. Although Zhao Feng later remembered part of the memory, most of the images in that memory were still relatively blurry and confusing. .

Then "Mr. Liang" asked about his feelings after being hypnotized and his subjective judgment of the white man.

Zhao Feng answered them one by one, and mentioned that Mao Qiang's "suspected immunity" to white people's hypnosis was probably related to the "eight-armed and eight-eyed giant illusion".

"Mr. Liang" naturally talked about their domestic investigation into the "eight-armed and eight-eyed monster hallucination", praised their agility, and then asked them about the large-scale appearance of Monta Mira on the night of the 8th. Determine whether there is a connection between the "eight-armed giant illusion" and similar illusions in China.

Zhao Feng chatted with "Mr. Liang" for more than 20 minutes. He was surprised by the voice at first, but after getting used to it and adapting to it, he felt that "Mr. Liang" was a very good communicator and had no problem with communication. The general leadership style is more like that of a technical person who basically discusses and develops issues and issues. The impression is quite good.

But in the end, "Mr. Liang" told him not to track down the white man, and not to have direct contact with him again if he met him in the future, just report to him.

Not only he and Wang De'an, but also Fan Peng and the female translator should not pursue the investigation.

But "Mr. Liang" also told them not to worry. The reason why the white man performed a hypnotic operation on a few of them in the street was actually because he discovered their identities. He was more afraid of them, so under normal circumstances, he would not take the initiative to provoke them. Their.

Such an explanation made Zhao Feng realize that "Mr. Liang" might know the origin of the white man and how he caused all four of them to temporarily lose their memory. However, "Mr. Liang" had no idea about these issues. no answer.

No longer tracking the whereabouts of the white man, Zhao Feng and the others continued to investigate the "Illusion of the Eight-Armed and Eight-Eyed Giant" as planned.

They went to a hotel in Montamila, where there was a Chinese tourist who had experienced the riots and mass hallucinations on the night of the 8th.

But the middle-aged man named Jiang Chun has been out of contact for more than 48 hours, and he did not lose contact on the night of the 8th. He returned to the hotel on the 9th, but left at noon on the 9th and never came back. However, the hotel was unable to contact him through the reserved phone number, and the emergency contact number was empty.

Zhao Feng and the others came to investigate because they wanted to see if the disappearance of the middle-aged man named Jiang Chun had anything to do with the illusion.

However, when they checked some surveillance cameras, tried to review Jiang Chun's whereabouts, and tried to contact his relatives and friends without success, a medical record sent by Fan Peng made them stop their investigation.

Because judging from the medical records, Jiang Chun was terminally ill and did not have long to live. Moreover, he did not receive treatment, sold all his property in the country, and started traveling six months ago. Now he has no money in his account. He has a lot of money. The obvious attempt to commit suicide might have been ended in a deserted place.

So Zhao Feng and others began to visit other Burmese locals who had experienced group hallucinations on the night of the 8th or Chinese tourists who were still in Mengtamila. Two days later, they left Mengtamila and headed to southern Myanmar. In another port city, I had to question another Chinese citizen - but that was a criminal suspect.

The criminal suspect and other fellow fugitives from China kidnapped a domestic businessman. Later, internal strife broke out. Except for the criminal suspect and the kidnapped businessman, all the other kidnappers died. In the end, the kidnapped person drove the boat that kidnapped him back to the port and sent the surviving kidnapper to the hospital.

The reason why Zhao Feng and the others wanted to question the suspect was because the people from Shenxing Technology learned through some channels that the surviving suspect told the Myanmar police that before the internal strife broke out, the kidnappers on the ship had seen A humanoid sea monster with many arms and many eyes climbs aboard.

His description has many similarities with the "eight-armed and eight-eyed giant vision" seen by the people of Montamira.

A few days later, when Zhao Feng and others saw the suspect lying on the hospital bed, the blond white man who had had brief contact with them had already entered the country.

Liushi, next to a botanical garden far away from the city.

In a deserted open space around the corner of the mountain, a white man with blond curly hair, wearing sunglasses, and a medium-to-slim build squatted on the ground, gently stroking the overgrown ground with his left hand.

After a while, he took off his sunglasses and put them in his pocket, took out a small white porcelain knife and held it in his hand, slowly wandering around.

If Xiang Kun saw this scene, he would definitely be very alert.

Because this place was the place where he and Guo Tianxiang finally fought, and the small white porcelain knife held by the white man looked very similar to the one held by Guo Tianxiang.
