What It’s Like Being a Vampire

After dinner, they drank tea and chatted for a while in the hotel's tea room. They discussed cooperation-related matters and agreed to meet again at the company tomorrow for more detailed discussions. Xiang Kun and the other four met with Zhang Qian and others. The people from "Tengjiao Entertainment" said goodbye and left, returning to the hotel.

Yang Zhener and Tang Baona only booked a room for Xiang Kun, not Lao Xia. Just like before in Star City, they forced Lao Xia to share a room with them.

After eating supper together, around eleven o'clock and almost twelve o'clock, after Xiang Kun confirmed through sensory information that the three girls in the next room were asleep, Xiang Kun first confirmed the "" that Alice had marked for him at noon. Scan results of "Suspected Surveillance".

Alice discovered a security system that had not been discovered before. The back-end server of this security system was also connected to a dedicated line network provided by an operator. It seemed to be the internal network of the secret department of "Shenxing Technology".

It is naturally very difficult for ordinary hackers to invade such a system. The most likely way is to either break it from the inside first, or to control a terminal first and then use it as a springboard for operations.

But for Alice, any network, any system, any terminal, as long as she can find the connection node on the physical level, whether it is wired or wireless, it is only a matter of time before she can enter and control it.

Even after she is fully integrated into the "super-sensory object system" and can interpret and apply more "super-sensory information", she will be able to invade and control any electronic device wherever the "super-connected objects" are placed, no matter what. Whether the target is connected to the Internet and whether there are modules connected to the Internet.

While Xiang Kun and Zhang Qian were eating, Alice had already penetrated and controlled the hidden security system, and "following the clues" quickly figured out how the system's software and hardware operated.

According to Alice's knowledge, this security system not only controls the through gates, related access control, and internal monitoring on the three underground floors, but also has several very hidden intelligence systems outside the underground entrances and exits and around the Shouwang Building. The camera is directly connected to this system.

Several of the cameras have specially tuned imaging modes, ranging from low-light imaging to infrared thermal imaging.

Moreover, they have an intelligent system that scans and identifies all organisms using multiple imaging modes, then determines their type, and then compares them from the database.

There is a standard for the normal body temperature range of various organisms, and the comparison between body temperature and ambient temperature. Once the body temperature is abnormal, for example, the body temperature of a warm-blooded animal is much lower than the average body temperature of its category, or a cold-blooded animal appears. When there is an abnormal difference between the body temperature and the ambient temperature, the system will identify the target organism and then issue a warning through the internal display device.

obviously,

This is the monitoring and identification system for "mutated organisms" developed by "Shenxing Technology".

According to what Alice found out, this type of security system is also deployed in other places, probably in secret research bases.

Fortunately, when Xiang Kun visited the secret research base of "Shenxing Technology" in Qicheng City, he discovered and circumvented the monitoring equipment nearby in advance, and did not dare to get too close to detect it. Basically, he still used "super sense" status" to perceive.

The server on the third underground floor in Pengcheng City is one of the main data storage centers. This also proves from the side that this place is quite special even among the secret departments of "Shenxing Technology".

Later, Alice sent several surveillance videos to Xiang Kun. Each video corresponded to a surveillance camera position of the security system in Shouwang Building, so that he could understand the general situation inside.

It can be seen from several internal surveillance cameras that there is a closed space behind a heavy metal gate on the third underground floor. There are various drones, modified vehicles and other equipment inside. Even late at night, there are still There were two staff members busy, seemingly performing maintenance.

In addition, there are many other rooms, some of which do not appear in the surveillance video sent by Alice. They should not have surveillance installed and are private areas.

But what Xiang Kun paid most attention to was the black GMC RV parked in the corner and the entrance to the elevator next to the car.

That should lead to the underground, because Alice has found out that there is no elevator to the upper level on the third underground floor.

It seems that his previous derivation should be correct. The underground area where the rabbit wood carvings and "mutated creatures" are located is here.

Xiang Kun communicated with Alice for a while and confirmed her control over the intelligent security system, then left the hotel and headed to Shouwang Building.

The security system on the three underground floors of Shou Wang Building mainly relies on intelligent identification. The electronic gates and access control are also fully automatic, without manual verification and guarding.

The so-called "artificial intelligence" of this security system, in Alice's words, is "like an idiot." She easily took over with full authority.

After all the surveillance in Shouwang Building was taken over by Alice, Xiang Kun no longer had to deliberately avoid surveillance. Alice would control the scenes where he appeared to replace and overwrite them with previously recorded scenes to identify "mutated creatures" The intelligent identification system will also not work.

Coming back to the outside of the Shouwang Building that was observed through the "No. 1 Fish in the World" during the day, Xiang Kun sensed the "Super Connected Object Bead" on the fallen drone that had been plugged in Wu Shushan earlier, and found that the location was the same as Alice's discovery. The location on the third underground floor we came to didn't quite correspond, it was a lot off.

By comparing the drawings of the drainage system that Alice found, it was deduced that the ball was most likely entered into the sewer during drone recovery and cleaning on the third underground floor, and is currently deposited in a certain section of the sewer.

In this case, there is not a single "super-connected object" in the three underground floors - the "super-connected objects" arranged by Lao Xia during the day are naturally on the ground.

In fact, if Xiang Kun is willing now, with Alice's help, he can go all the way down from the dedicated passage on the third underground floor. The surveillance will not detect him, and the electronic gate will be opened for him. He can go all the way without hindrance, as long as he avoids the underground. The two hard-working staff on the third floor who are still "working overtime" to maintain the drones are enough. This is easy for him.

After entering the third underground floor, he can naturally arrange "super-connected objects" at will, and even throw "super-connected objects" downward through the elevator shaft. In this case, the place where the "mutated creatures" in the underground are located can be With the rabbit woodcarving as an "emotional object" and the "super-connected objects" within the range of perception that can be called upon, more things can be done and a deeper influence can be exerted.

But considering that he doesn't know the characteristics and abilities of the "mutated creatures" next to the rabbit wood carving, he doesn't know if they have some special methods, such as smell or other sensing, whether they can detect the appearance of "mutated creatures" Traces of his presence.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, Xiang Kun is not ready to enter directly now.

At this time, he actually missed "Zero Zero One", "Zero Zero Two", and other derived ant armies. They were most suitable for sneaking into and deploying "super-connected objects". Even if they were discovered, It won't arouse much suspicion either.

It's a pity that neither "001" nor "002" brought Pengcheng with them, and they stayed in Chongyun Village.

But now Xiang Kun doesn't have other ways to arrange the "super-connected things".

He directly controlled ten "Super Connected Objects" balls to enter through the dedicated entrance on the third underground floor and roll down the road. After reaching the sensing distance, he went to Shouwang Building, which is open to company employees and outsiders. level parking lot.

There were security guards on duty at the entrance to the parking lot over there all night, and there were also a lot of surveillance systems. However, with Alice's assistance and Xiang Kun's super sensory abilities, he managed to sneak in easily and went directly to the second underground room. layer.

On the second underground floor, Xiang Kun can enter a "super-sensory state" by finding a position closer to the balls in a straight line, continue to sense and control them, and "drop them through the air."

His control of these "super-connected objects" is only related to distance, and nothing in between has any effect.

As for the specific location of the placement, Xiang Kun in the super-sensory state can easily match the cognitive information of the spatial structure with the several internal surveillance images of the third underground floor that Alice had sent him before, and find a good hiding place. corner.

The tungsten steel balls are too small and too easy to hide, and the space on the three underground floors is huge. Even if there are two people doing drone maintenance, they can't even notice the ten tungsten steel balls dozens of meters away from them." The tungsten steel ball moves "sneakily" against the wall.

After arranging the "super-connected things", Xiang Kun noticed that two staff members on the third underground floor drove through the access control and left.

However, according to Alice's report, the car driven by the two staff members did not drive far after leaving the Shou Wang Building. Instead, they only went to a 24-hour convenience store less than 100 meters away from the Shou Wang Building to buy food.

Thinking that there was no elevator directly to the first floor on the third underground floor, Xiang Kun immediately understood why they had to drive a car when they came out.

Xiang Kun also left the parking lot on the second underground floor and went to a place not far from the convenience store, hiding in the darkness of the street.

Two people working on the third underground floor were sitting on a bench in front of the convenience store, smoking and chatting. From this distance, they could not notice Xiang Kun, but Xiang Kun could clearly hear their conversation.

At first, the two of them talked about the types and taste of cigarettes, which province's cigarettes are easier to smoke, what kind of hot food is delicious in the convenience store here, and whether there are any new restaurants nearby. As they chatted, the young man The older staff member suddenly remembered something and asked the older staff member next to him:

"Hey, Lao Liao, do you think we are now 'underground workers'? In a literal sense."

Older staff member Lao Liao choked on the cigarette, coughed several times, and said with a smile: "It seems to be true."

The young staff member sighed: "Oh, I studied for sixteen years in China and five years abroad, for a total of twenty-one years. In the end, I ended up working as a drone maintenance worker on the third floor underground. Every month You have to work all night for ten days, and you can't go home. Lao Liao, don't you feel unwilling?"

Lao Liao sneered and said: "Come on, you are so pretentious. Isn't the main reason why we come here to work is money? Are you not satisfied with the salary, subsidies and bonuses given to you? The classmates who studied with you at the beginning , whether domestic or foreign, except for the rare ones who start their own businesses and go public, how many people have an income higher than yours? Besides what we are doing and the equipment we are exposed to, do you think that in ordinary enterprises and laboratories, the income is higher than yours? Got it? Tell me, do you have the ability to design it?"

The young staff member was stunned for a moment and nodded: "What you said is true..."

"So, this 'maintenance worker' is really not something that ordinary people can do." Lao Liao sighed and said, "If you are interested in doing research and development, you can apply with 'Mr. Liang', and you will naturally be transferred to research and development." department."

"Hey, Lao Liao, are you tired of me and want to chase me away?"

"Don't you think that your great talents have been buried? You have been studying hard for twenty-one years and staying with a 'mechanic' like me. You feel wronged."

"Damn! It's like you have read less books than me!" the young staff member laughed and scolded, then as if he remembered something, he added: "Hey, by the way, what did you say about Lao Xie? Why did his face get hurt? Is it like that? It seems that he has never returned home. He has been living in the workplace without going home. He doesn't come out to get some air when he has nothing to do. He only asks us to help him even have a late-night snack. There should be no rule that he is not allowed to go out alone. ?Also, who is the person he drives out in that big RV every time? Is there really anyone in the car? Once when the RV was waiting in the elevator, I happened to pass by from a distance and saw the elevator door open. At that moment, there was nothing inside! Lao Liao, do you think Lao Xie is actually 'Mr. Liang' every time he drives out, and there is no one else in the car? Use the communicator with us When communicating, I use a voice changer..."

"Stop, stop, stop! Are you out of your mind? Have you forgotten the terms of the confidentiality agreement? You don't want to do it anymore, right? You don't want to do it, but I still want to do it. I also want to earn a few more years to support myself in retirement. , don’t drag me into the water!" Lao Liao said and stood up directly, picked up the plastic bag he had just put aside and walked to the car parked on the side of the road.

The young staff member also realized that he had gone too far, threw the cigarette butt into the cigarette extinguishing area of ​​the nearby trash can, got up and chased after me: "Old Liao, wait for me, why don't you think I was wrong? Oh, you are too fussy. It's so late at night, it's just the two of us, no one can hear it, and it's impossible for people in the company to know...Okay, okay, I won't say it, okay, I won't say it..."

Xiang Kun was thoughtful as he watched the car turn around in front and drive back towards the dedicated underground entrance on the third floor of Shouwang Building.

Xiang Kun knew that what the young staff member said was actually wrong. Even if his words were not heard by his X-factor, the special intercom he was carrying had already been awakened by the keyword and started recording. This was Alice entering The monitoring mechanism detected behind the servers on the third floor underground.

However, what these two people just said also inspired Xiang Kun.

He knew before that in addition to the two staff who were maintaining and repairing the drone on the third underground floor, there was another person staying in the room. That person used to drive a GMC RV, had many scars on his face, and had a strong build. driver.

Alice also told him that the terminal that received the surveillance footage of Xie Hongting's family was in the room where the driver stayed.

His first reaction at the time was that the driver was monitoring the family's situation, but now after hearing the name "Lao Xie" from the young staff member, another thought came to his mind.

"Alice, can you find the driver's information in the Shenxing Technology server?" Xiang Kun asked on his mobile phone.

"There is no corresponding information, but the security system has his fingerprints, face, iris, and voice recognition data, codenamed 'Lao Xie'." Alice replied.

"Look for Xie Hongting's information and compare it," Xiang Kun said.

A moment later, Alice's reply came: "The comparison is over. Through facial feature comparison and fingerprint comparison, the probability that they are the same person is close to 100%."

Sure enough, the result was just as he guessed. The driver was Xie Hongting. After he "died" of illness, he came here and became the driver of the "mutated creature" underground.

As for the underground "mutated creatures", they must be the "flying mutant creatures" that fought with the "mutated bird" in Wu Shushan and were scared away by him with induction thunder. Not only can the tungsten steel ball stuffed on the drone prove it, What the young staff member just said can also prove it.

The reason why the young staff saw nothing in the open elevator and suspected that Lao Xie left in an empty car was because the "mutated creature" was invisible when it came out of the elevator.

When he was in Wu Shushan, he already knew that the "flying mutant creature" had the same invisibility ability as the "mutated big bird".

Now it is up to Alice to further analyze the internal information she obtained from "Shenxing Technology" to determine the specific identity of the "flying mutant creature" and whether it is "Mr. Liang".

Of course, there is another way, which is to find a way to put a "love object" next to Xie Hongting, and then use Lao Xia's "dream within a dream" ability to make inquiries - Lao Xie will definitely know a lot. .

For Xiang Kun, what makes him most curious is actually the attitude of "Shenxing Technology" towards "mutated creatures" or this "mutated phenomenon".

According to previous observations, "Shenxing Technology" seems to be studying "mutated organisms", using scientific methods to analyze "mutated phenomena", and looking for ways to apply them.

But since he sensed that the rabbit wooden sculpture was brought to the underground space by the "mutated creature", the other three "mutated creatures" in the underground space have never left, and he has not sensed that any human being has entered that underground space. A piece of space, it doesn't look like someone is studying and observing them.

At the same time, secret department researchers like Dr. Fang and Zhou Rui know very little about "mutated creatures". It seems that they have never come into contact with real "mutated creatures", and all information is slowly being rediscovered from scratch. groping.

This situation made Xiang Kun very confused and puzzled.

What do they want to do?

Before figuring out this problem, Xiang Kun should try his best to prevent "Shenxing Technology", "Mr. Liang" or other related personnel from discovering him, and he should figure it out slowly and explore patiently.

However, since Alice has entered the "Shenxing Technology" dedicated line network, has controlled some servers and some data, and he has arranged enough "hyper-connected things" on the three underground floors, he believes that he can understand this. Just a matter of time.

The initiative is in his hands.
