What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Chapter 310 The Reality

After confirming that there were no mutant creatures in the hospital, Xiang Kun quietly left the hospital, brought back the electric car he had hidden, put away the empty food box, and prepared to go home.

But before riding the electric bike, he sensed the pair of chopsticks given to Lao Xia, and he didn't expect to sense the dream directly.

Lao Xia just finished supper, went back to the duty room and slept right after closing the door?

I don't know if I still hiccup after falling asleep...

Although with Xiang Kun's current brain processing ability, it is no problem to perceive Lao Xia's dream while riding an electric car, but he has a lot of expectations for Lao Xia's dream tonight, so he still has to concentrate on perception .

So Xiang Kun pushed the electric car to the side of the road, leaned on the electric car, looked down at his phone, and pretended to be waiting for someone to swipe his phone.

...

Perceiving Lao Xia's dream again, he didn't see the closed room that Xiang Kun was expecting to see, but walked in the aisle of a restaurant.

Through Lao Xia's perspective in the dream, Xiang Kun found that she was very short, and the arms held by the adults beside her were also very small. She was obviously still young, and she might not have been in elementary school yet.

Holding her hand is a young lady who is dressed in a bit of expensive clothes and looks a bit bookish, and on the other side of her is a person wearing glasses who also looks like a scholar and a technical person Young man, Xiang Kun guessed that these two might be Lao Xia's parents.

It seems that this is Lao Xia when her parents took her to dinner when she was a child?

In front, the waiter in the uniform of the restaurant who led the two of them to their seats was unexpectedly short, even a little shorter than the current little Lao Xia from the perspective of sight.

Although he could only see the back view, Xiang Kun also knew from the back view and the emotion-injected projection that the little girl serving as the waitress in the COS restaurant in front was Liu Shiling—or rather, it was the pair of emotion-infused chopsticks in front of her. Projections in dreams.

After sitting down at the table, the food started to be served very quickly. The speed of the food was obviously because it was in the dream, it was so fast. And "waiter Liu Shiling" seemed to have teleported. After serving two dishes, two more dishes were served in the next second.

But most of the dishes on the table looked a little blurry, and I couldn't see clearly. I could only vaguely judge what type of dish it was. Only one of the dishes that was closest to Lao Xia, Xiang Kun could see clearly, was a plate Crispy Pork Knuckle.

"Come on, Xiaobing, try this 'Golden Pork Knuckle', it's the shop's signature, it's delicious..." The bookish lady put a piece of crispy pork knuckle into the bowl in front of Lao Xia, But before she finished speaking, Lao Xia didn't use the utensils, and directly grabbed the pork knuckle with her hands and started to eat it.

In the dream, Lao Xia's emotions were very strong, with obvious hunger and possessiveness for food.

"Slow down, Xiaobing, drink some soup..."

"Try something else."

"Eat slowly, there are more."

Both of them, suspected to be Lao Xia's parents, were trying to persuade them, but after Lao Xia finished eating the crispy pork knuckle in his hand, he got up again and took a piece by himself, and continued to eat.

It is conceivable that the appearance of eating is not elegant, even a little crazy, just like in the last dream, when eating that toast in that closed small room.

The voices of the two adults next to me gradually became a little blurred,

In the dream, Lao Xia's attention was all on the food.

Just when Xiang Kun was guessing why Lao Xia had such a strong feeling about food, all emotions disappeared like an ebb tide, replaced by calmness and rationality.

The next moment, Xiang Kun found that Lao Xia's gaze began to rise. She stood up and got higher and higher. It was obviously beyond the height she had just stood up like a child, and she didn't stand on a chair.

Next, wherever the line of sight swept, various originally blurred details began to become clear, but the two young men and women sitting on the left and right became much older, like they were in their fifties or sixties, and their clothes changed. It was more modern and fashionable, and they looked at Lao Xia with gentle eyes.

Xiang Kun knew that Lao Xia had "woke up" in his dream again as expected.

As soon as she "woke up", she immediately became an adult, and the two people who were suspected to be her parents also became old, which should correspond to her real-time memory in reality.

Of course, the "waiter Liu Shiling" not far from the table also changed into what she remembered in the same dream as last time.

Xiang Kun was refreshed and focused. He wanted to see what kind of plans Lao Xia had in his lucid dream this time after the last experience.

I hope that after she "wakes up" this time, the dream can last a little longer.

Lao Xia looked down at the half piece of crispy pork knuckle in his bowl. The next moment, the half-eaten piece of crispy pork knuckle suddenly recovered.

In other words, it is no longer the one she took off the dining table before, because it is obviously different in terms of shape and size.

Lao Xia sat down, still without any utensils, reached out to pick up the crispy pork knuckle, opened his mouth wide, took a bite slowly with the meat on the belt.

After the meat enters the mouth, there is no feeling at the first moment, neither the texture nor the taste, as if it took a bite of air. But soon, textures and flavors emerge quickly.

And this taste and taste are completely different from the time when Xiao Lao Xia ate the crispy pork knuckle in the previous dream, and the details should be richer and more specific.

This taste... this taste... and this appearance, Xiang Kun soon realized that he was the one who made the "Real Crispy Pork Knuckle" that appeared in his dreams after Lao Xia "woke up".

It seems that Lao Xia likes the dish "crispy pork knuckle" so much, it should have something to do with the fact that she ate it in a special state when she was a child. But for her now, it was obvious that the specific taste and related memories of this dish all came from the "crispy pork knuckle" made by Xiang Kun.

Moreover, when he started to chew the pork knuckle, his original calm and rational state changed again, and he felt a sense of satisfaction and enjoyment while eating, which was different from the feeling of "crazy food rush" in the previous dream.

Lao Xia quickly cleaned up the "crispy pork knuckle", and then satisfactorily picked up the paper towel next to him and wiped his mouth.

The next moment, she flipped her left hand, and three coins lay on the palm of her hand.

As soon as he saw the three coins, Xiang Kun immediately felt that he had a vague connection with them. He immediately discovered that the three coins in the dream were not simply Lao Xia's imagination based on her memory, and they seemed to have a real relationship with the three coins he gave Lao Xia that had established a "supersensory connection". associated.

In the dream, Lao Xia was holding three coins in his hand, rubbing them constantly to make them collide with each other, and then wandered around the restaurant.

She observed the environment in the restaurant, just like last time, wherever she looked, she began to fill in the details according to her memory.

Xiang Kun was a little worried that the dream would soon disintegrate like last time, and Lao Xia woke up.

But what I didn't expect was that after Lao Xia wandered around the restaurant, she went back to the table and sat down. The dream still existed. Although she remained "awake", she still didn't wake up.

Next, all kinds of Chinese dishes on the table disappeared, and then a Napoleon cake appeared.

This Napoleon cake is not big, it only looks like one person.

Lao Xia stared at the cake for a while, and then the cake slowly grew in size as if it had been blown, and soon it was as big as a main computer case.

The next moment, the cake changed back to its original size.

Then the cake began to change shape, turned into a rabbit, and then continued to change into a goose.

Looking at the ever-changing cake, which changed in size and size, Xiang Kun felt something in his heart. The three coins in Lao Xia's hand were gone, and the cake, instead of the three coins, established a certain connection with him.

Xiang Kun realized that Lao Xia did not know how to concretize the projection of the three coins in the dream. This projection is likely to be related to their "supersensory connection" in reality, and thus connected to Xiang Kun.

That cake is those three coins.

Like Liu Shiling and Little Apple, Lao Xia is applying to "call" Xiang Kun's ability through Xiang Kun's "Super Sensory Connection" item—and it's still in the dream guided by the "Emotional Injection" item!

The change was not limited to the cake. Xiang Kun soon discovered that his perspective of perception was no longer limited to Lao Xia's subjective perspective. He could now switch to the perspective of the emotional injection projection "waiter Liu Shiling" in the dream.

He immediately thought of the dream of Liu Shiling, the little chubby girl, who he sensed on the way back to Saitong. Although he sensed it through the "emotional infusion object", it was a dream that he intervened halfway. In that dream, his The perspective is the "chopsticks" in Liu Shiling's hands that are used as magic wands.

This means that Liu Shiling's dream at that time, and now Lao Xia's dream, are no longer based on Xiang Kun's "emotional injection items", so it is no longer necessary to maintain his fit with the perception of the dream owner.

As for the basis for maintaining the dream state now? Xiang Kun also had a guess, with a high probability, that it was the three coins, or the ability of the three coins to "call" from him through the "supersensory connection".

Next, Xiang Kun saw Lao Xia constantly changing the shape and size of the "Napoleon cake" in her dream, and later she even turned it into a large piece of crispy pork knuckle, and then made the pork knuckle The meat continues to change shape...but that's where it gets creepier.

Can you imagine a laptop made of crispy fried pork skin and pork except for the screen, which looks like it can be used or eaten directly, and it also smells fragrant?

Is this cyberpunk or Cthulhu?

When Xiang Kun was a little dumbfounded by Lao Xia's dream imagination, Lao Xia's "lucid dream" which was obviously much longer than last time also ended.

...

In the duty room, Xia Libing suddenly sat up from the hard bed.

She looked at her left hand for the first time, and let go of the fist that was clenched tightly even in her dream. There were three one-yuan coins stacked together in her hand.

She recalled the scene in her dream, then clenched her left hand again and closed her eyes.

The time passed by every minute and every second, and the duty room was very quiet, only the sound of the second hand of the clock on the wall moving.

When she opened her eyes again and looked at her right hand which was not holding a coin, her right hand was actually holding a small piece of Napoleon cake!

But she only blinked once, and the cake "disappeared" and disappeared without a trace, as if it hadn't appeared just now, but she was dazzled.

But she knew that she was not dazzled.

She raised her right hand and sniffed it at the end of her nose, but there was no aroma left by Napoleon cake, and she licked it, and there was no smell left by cake either.

Xia Libing rubbed the three coins with her left hand, sat on the bed and kept thinking, after a while, she looked back at the small wooden box with chopsticks on the bedside, she seemed to realize something, then put on her shoes and got out of bed .

Xia Libing walked to the table with a coin in one hand and a mobile phone in the other, and stared at a medical reference book on the table. Ten seconds later, a small piece of Napoleon cake suddenly appeared on the reference book out of thin air.

Xia Libing's expression didn't change at all. He quickly picked up the phone with his right hand, turned on the camera, and pressed the video recording button.

But before she pressed it, the quick cake had disappeared, as if it had appeared out of thin air, without any trace at all, as if it had been "edited".

Xia Libing turned on the video recording function of the phone again, adjusted the angle, put it on a corner of the desk with a few books, and then looked at the recording range of it, trying to "make" that piece of Napoleon cake again.

But she tried for a few minutes, but she still couldn't reproduce the cake even after the sweat dripped from her forehead in this winter night, which was only 4 or 5 degrees Celsius.

Xia Libing was not discouraged, she picked up her phone and turned off the recording function.

Then he continued to stare at one spot on the table, and a few seconds later, the Napoleon cake appeared again.

Xia Libing nodded thoughtfully, and she reached out to pick up the cake on the table. The cake had a substantial touch, but compared to the real Napoleon cake, it still seemed a bit "frivolous" in the hand, and the weight seemed inaccurate.

She carefully brought the cake to her mouth, smelling the sweet and creamy smell, then slowly opened her mouth and bit down...

But the moment she bit into it, the cake disappeared.

Xia Libing seemed to have expected this scene, and she was not surprised. She continued to rub the coin in her left hand, and glanced at the clock on the wall.

Well, it's almost time for the routine night rounds.

She took her mobile phone, put on her coat, then put on her white coat, left the duty room, and went downstairs.

Seeing Xia Libing appearing at the door of the duty room, the two female nurses downstairs were a little strange. Their regular ward rounds in the middle of the night were conducted by the nurses. If there was any problem, the doctor on duty would be notified.

"I can't sleep, so I'm here to make rounds with you." Xia Libing explained simply.

So the three of them checked the wards in their ward together, confirmed the rest of the patients, and then returned to the duty room.

"Are you hungry? My friend brought some supper over earlier, and there are some more, do you want some?" Xia Libing said suddenly before leaving.

The two female nurses were a little surprised, even a little flattered. You must know that when Xia Libing first arrived at their hospital, she was extremely popular. Not only was she tall and beautiful, but she was also said to be related to the leaders of the hospital. Whether it was the same sex or the opposite sex, everyone wanted to have a good relationship with her. Invite her to dinner, but basically she is politely but simply and resolutely refused. Dr. Xia is always indifferent and rejects people thousands of miles away. Gradually, everyone even feels a sense of awe towards her inexplicably.

It was the first time Xia Libing took the initiative to invite someone to eat in the Third Hospital in a few months!

So the two of them half-pushed and went upstairs with Xia Libing to the duty room where she was, and then used the microwave over there to heat up the supper that Xiang Kun had brought earlier.

When one of the nurses was carrying a hot dish and was about to put it on the table in the duty room, she suddenly found a piece of high-end cake on the table. on the table.

"Huh? It seems that there is no such cake just now?" The nurse said in surprise.

At this time, another nurse who also brought a hot dish turned around and walked over subconsciously: "What cake?"

"Isn't it just on the table..." The nurse at the beginning looked at the empty left side, stayed for a second, then reached out and touched the place where the cake was just seen, wondering: "It's strange...it's obviously there, why did it happen in a blink of an eye? It's gone..."

Behind her, Xia Libing came over with disposable bowls and chopsticks, with an unchanged expression: "Do you want to eat cake?"

"Oh, no, no, I was dazzled just now." The nurse who saw the "cake" smiled and shook her head. She thought she must have been dazzled, just like the ball rolling sound she heard earlier, probably Tired of working the night shift during this time?

Although the dishes Xiang Kun made were all adjusted to Xia Libing's taste, the basis of them was "delicious". Even if they were reheated, they still tasted good.

The two nurses couldn't help but praise, thinking that Dr. Xia's friend should have bought it from a restaurant.

After eating almost, a nurse wanted to check the time with the mobile phone on the table. She was still holding disposable chopsticks in her right hand, so she raised her left hand that was originally on her lap.

But as soon as she raised her hand, she suddenly found that since she was "holding" a piece of fried pork knuckle with crispy skin and golden yellow in her hand!

She was startled, and subconsciously shook her left hand vigorously, but nothing fell from her hand.

Her weird movements also attracted the attention of another nurse and Xia Libing: "What's wrong?"

She took a closer look at her left hand by the light in the room, it was clean, without any strange things on it, and looked down at the ground, there was also no foreign matter.

"It's nothing, just now I seemed...as if I saw a piece of meat in my hand...?" She said a little uncertainly, "It seems to be dazzled."

"What kind of meat?" Xia Libing asked calmly.

"Uh, it's nothing, I must have read it wrong." She shook her head.

Another nurse was surprised: "No way, you are hallucinating too? I saw a piece of cake just now, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye!"

"What I seem to see is... pig's feet? Uh, it seems to be fried or grilled."

"Our building is a bit strange at night, Dr. Xia, have you heard the sound of beads rolling before?"

Xia Libing said: "The sound of the rolling beads should be the thermal expansion and contraction of the reinforced concrete." Then, she asked the nurse who saw the pig's feet: "You said you were holding it, and you felt it in your hand." ?"

"Hands? It seems... not. No, it seems to be, like cotton... Uh, maybe not, I'm not sure." The nurse recalled with a frown.

"There are some problems with the lighting in my duty room. Have you noticed? Because of the position of the cabinet, most of the room is covered by the shadow of the cabinet, causing a visual disturbance." Xia Libing said to The nurse who saw the cake said, "Sister Lu, when the food was heating up, you must have been staring at the microwave oven, right? Then you suddenly turned your gaze and landed on the table, with afterimages from before still in your eyes. Being affected by ambient light and shadows can make you think you're seeing something, like a cake."

She then said to the nurse who saw the "pig's feet": "Sister Chen, half of where you are sitting is in the shadow of the cabinet. Try raising your hand quickly? If you find it, when your hand reaches After the waist, it will enter the shadow. If you lift it very quickly, you will feel as if you are holding something in your hand because of the effect of light and dark contrast. And because I just mentioned to you that my friend makes crispy pig The knuckle is delicious, so you were influenced and imagined the appearance of 'crispy pork knuckle'. If you recall, what you saw was 'crispy pork knuckle'?"

Xia Libing's voice is gentle, and the speed of speech is gentle, and it sounds extremely convincing, which makes people feel convinced involuntarily.

Nurse Chen nodded subconsciously: "Indeed, what I seem to see is a piece of pig's foot whose skin is fried to a crisp."

The two nurses who got the explanation were slightly relieved. After eating, they helped Xia Libing clean up briefly, and then went downstairs to return to their duty room.

But in the corridor downstairs, Nurse Lu couldn't help but said to her companion: "I always feel...tonight is a bit weird."

Nurse Chen also felt a chill inexplicably. She turned her head to look at the wards with closed gates, raised her collar, and said in a low voice, "Don't scare yourself, it's Chinese New Year."

Upstairs, the duty room with the door closed.

Xia Libing was sitting in front of the table, with her elbows on the table, three coins in her left hand, and her left fist in her right hand. With both hands together, she propped her chin, looked at a piece of Napoleon cake on the table, and thought get the information.

In front of her eyes, the cake disappeared after a few seconds, turning into a piece of crispy pork knuckle, and disappeared again after a second, turning into a cake.

After going back and forth like this several times, Xia Libing's body suddenly fell forward, her face lay on the table, and she passed out.
