What It’s Like Being a Vampire

??Lao Xia sat up in a daze, pushed away the long hair covering his face, glanced at Xiang Kun who was sitting on the chair next to the bed, and then looked at the dark sky outside the window through the gap in the curtains, seeming a little confused. .

??Normally, Xiang Kun would not wake her up unless he had something important to do.

??But didn’t Xiang Kun go into the mountain to deal with the "little carrot" matter before, and it should be related to the "mutated creature". Could it be that after his actual investigation, the situation of "Little Carrot" was not related to the "mutated creature", but that something else important happened?

"Let's go downstairs and talk." Xiang Kun said softly. Little Apple and Lao Xia slept on different beds in the same room, so naturally they couldn't talk here.

??Xia Li stood up smoothly, put on his coat, tied up his hair, and followed Xiang Kun downstairs.

??After going to the "study" where Xiang Kun placed several monitors on the first floor, which looked like they were used for working, but were actually used for sleeping after drinking blood, Xiang Kun asked Lao Xia to sit in front of the computer and start Telling about his previous experience after entering the mountain: "'Little Carrot' has indeed mutated, and it is directly related to my blood-drinking sleep, but it is not a complete mutation. Its characteristics are..."

??As he spoke, Alice showed her simulated restored picture on the display screen to help Lao Xia understand the specific situation.

??Although it is not a real shooting scene, the virtual scene restored by Alice through the simulation algorithm of the real scene is quite real and looks like the real thing.

??When "monitoring" Joel's movements a few days ago, Alice wanted to use this method to display simulated images in real time in areas where "hyperconnected things" were distributed but not monitored.

??But the technology was not yet mature at that time and it was too stuck, so in the end I could only make it a simple drawing style.

??Alice has not given up on that technology. In the past few days, she has been allocating resources to improve it, and then the current rendering effect is achieved.

??Of course, the reason why it can be so smooth now is mainly because it is not a "live broadcast" but a "live restoration".

??With Xiang Kun's audio explanation and Alice's visual explanation, it still took nearly two hours to explain everything clearly to Lao Xia. Not only did he go into the mountain today to deal with the transformation of "Little Carrot" into "Semi-mutant" The whole process of "Creature", the process of discovering the "Ultimate Predator", and the information in the secret documents that Alice helped him get from under the Watch Tower earlier.

?? Because Alice opened three screens, one showing related simulation images or surveillance video images, and two showing the contents of various secret documents, Lao Xia’s head moved from time to time following her gaze.

There was only one computer chair in the room. Xiang Kun was standing next to Lao Xia giving commentary and caught a glimpse of the ponytail that was swaying as Lao Xia's head turned. He subconsciously raised his hand to brush it up.

??While gently stroking the long black ponytail, Xiang Kun was still explaining some of his basic judgments on the "ultimate predator": "If there is indeed a good person behind the 'special super-sensory information fragment' If sir, they defined the 'ultimate predator', the 'mysterious power' that can determine life and death, then it should at least conform to some basic models of 'mutated creatures'. At the same time, I asked Alice to do it based on some of the new characteristics it showed. A variant model for it..."

??As he was talking, Xiang Kun noticed that Lao Xia raised his head to look at him.

??Xiang Kun was stunned for a moment, glanced at his hand that was still on the ponytail, quickly took it back, and said sarcastically: "I don't know why I touched it easily."

??Xia Libing looked at him thoughtfully: "Judging from the tone, speed and wording of what you just said, because you discovered the 'Ultimate Predator' and found the way it affects living things, your The mind is in a relatively excited state, but because its "supersensory information fragments" have been cleared, I can tell those things to me and trust me more, so the body is in a relatively relaxed state. In this case, your body will obey. It’s normal to do some actions subconsciously. When you were a child, did you often play with your female classmates’ ponytails?”

??Xiang Kun scratched his head: "No... I've never played with it, but when I was in elementary school, our squad leader sat in front of me. That ponytail was black and long. I did often think about licking it..." He laughed. Get up: "But I have never practiced it, because our squad leader is quite fierce. If you pull her hair, she will definitely beat her."

??Xia Libing nodded: "Yes, normal."

??Xiang Kun said: "So my reaction is normal?"

??"When you sit and I stand next to you, I often have the same idea of ​​putting my hands on your head. When we have time later, we can do some related research on different heads and different hairstyles. , must have different attractions to different people, and there may be rules in it that can be summarized." Xia Libing nodded and said.

??"That's it..."

??"You just said that Alice made a model for the 'Ultimate Predator' and used it for deduction? What was the result?"

??So the two continued the previous topic, discussing the characteristics and possible behavior patterns and behavioral choices of the "ultimate predator".

??"There are many kinds of deduction results, but it is difficult to say how much reference significance there is. Although I have been 'close to hand' with it in a sense, my overall understanding and knowledge of it is still very limited. If its evolution process If the calculation is based on time units of thousands of years, ten thousand years or even longer, then any slight discrepancy in the parameters will cause huge deviations in the deduction results. However, Alice and I can basically confirm that this kind of rounding up into zeros will The existence form and state of existence can greatly reduce the cycle of blood drinking or transformation of the 'ultimate predator'. This form of existence is not only for hunting, but also for survival."

"Do you think it can sense the existence of your 'super-connected object' and 'love object'?" Xia Libing said thoughtfully.

??Xiang Kun shook his head: "I have carefully thought about it, it should not be felt, otherwise, it would not be until now, until I have developed the 'supersensory object system' to this extent, actively touched it, and even It was only when it was erased from other living things that it began to respond to me and notice me."

Xia Libing nodded and said: "It seems that it evaluates the threat of 'mutated creatures' to it through the transformation stages. Judging only from the number of stage transformations, your 'strength level' is still very low." "

??Xiang Kun also smiled and said: "Well, judging from that evaluation system, I'm probably far worse than Joel. By the way, Mr. Liang's kind of biological building blocks that rely on external technological assistance and synthesize new compounds as The method of improving functionality also has the meaning of ‘secretly crossing over Chen Cang’.”

??“Do we have a clear understanding of how it perceives environmental information?”

??"Based on the multiple models established by Alice and I, the most likely way is those 'supersensory information fragments' hidden in all living things. The fundamental characteristics of 'mutated creatures' are due to the It is manifested through various experiments and discovered by people. When it can be observed by human senses, it will be 'activated' and 'awakened'. However, this simple structure should not be able to perceive complex sensory information. Processing, so it should have a 'processing center', which may be temporarily 'merged' or exist through other means. At this time, it will be in what Mr. Liang and Academician Shen call a 'sensitive state' , also has the ability to process general sensory information.”

After hearing this, Xia Libing thought for a moment and said, "The way it is used to 'deterr' you seems a bit cautious."

??Xiang Kun understood what she meant. If the "ultimate predator" wanted to kill a large number of creatures to "warn" him, the most powerful deterrent would undoubtedly be to use his own kind or, strictly speaking, his mutant predecessors. The same kind, that is, humans, are the most powerful to warn.

??But the "ultimate predator" chose sporadic birds, insects and other creatures in a small area of ​​​​Chongyun Mountain. He appeared to be very restrained and careful, as if he was afraid of "excessive force", which would attract him to the real world. Like being angry.

??"I'm thinking, why does it think that this way of coercing the lives of other creatures will be effective on me? How does it know? If I am a person who only pursues my own mutation and evolution, only pursues my own strength, and does not care about the life or death of other creatures Where are the 'mutated creatures'?" Xiang Kun said.

??Xia Libing said thoughtfully: "It is through your ability to maintain the human form, your behavior of erasing the 'special super-sensory information fragments' for other creatures at the first time, or it can trace your Based on his past behavior?" She knew that the reason why Xiang Kun paid attention to this point was because by understanding this point, he might be able to understand the information collection method of the "Ultimate Predator".

"But no matter what, for the time being, I won't touch it directly, otherwise it will really destroy everything and cause widespread extinction of organisms, with disastrous consequences." Xiang Kun said, "If it is determined that it cannot sense As for 'hyper-connected things', it is urgent to speed up the connection and global launch of 'hyper-connected things'. After the 'hyper-connected things' spread all over the world, we will see how we can catch them all and kill them all at once. Don’t let it have a chance to fight back.”

??As soon as Xiang Kun finished speaking, Alice's voice came out from the speaker. It seemed that she had been holding it in for a long time: "Alice already has twenty-seven plans to speed up the association and launch of 'super-connected things'! The boss, Lao Xia wants to Take a look?"

??……

??In the small but well-equipped conference room, which looked quite high-tech, Zhang Qian and Tang Baona were discussing a topic.

??Yang Zhener sat next to Tang Baona, distracted as always.

??But when she was distracted in the past, she was mostly looking at the computer, reading various articles, choosing new clothes, accessories, toys for the little fat girl, or browsing local food posts, thinking about where to go to eat after picking up the little fat girl in the afternoon. .

??But at this time, her attention was on the round eraser in her hand. This was when she came to "Tengjiao Entertainment" in the morning and chatted with Shiling's mother, she accidentally saw a The girl from the administration department had it on the table, so I ran to buy a cup of milk tea and exchanged it with her.

??Ever since Yang Zhener discovered her special skill of "flying coins into cups" and the little fat girl taught her and Nana to play "coin hedging", she is now inexplicably interested in all kinds of round things. It seems that everything looks like a coin, and I want to shake it, roll it, and collide it.

??When she went downstairs this morning, she even stared at the wheel hub of a car on the roadside for a long time, imagining that she and the little fat girl were playing with each other with a wheel hub, and even pondered, Is it more fun to play with the wheel on the tire or directly on the hub? It wasn't until Nana called her that she came back to her senses.

??Like now, the round rubber sassafras in my hand feels very good. While Yang Zhener is kneading and playing with it, he is thinking about whether the friction will be too great and the speed will be too slow when rolling. ?? Smooth?

??Then she started to search for "round, eraser" on e-commerce platforms such as JD and TB. She wanted to see if there were round erasers that were rounder and of better quality. Then she would buy a few and bring them back with Nana and Nana. Play with the little bells! Then I started to research the rubber manufacturer, production process, ingredients, reasons for softness and hardness, various performance parameters, etc.

??"Ms. Yang, what do you have in mind when you take that piece of rubber?" Zhang Qian, who had finished discussing an issue with Tang Baona, suddenly asked Yang Zhener.

??On weekdays, she was used to Yang Zhener's state of fishing in meetings, so she didn't care. Anyway, Nana would discuss specific matters with her, so there would be no problem. But Yang Zhener was in a strange state today. She was holding a piece of rubber in her hand that seemed to be purchased by her company, but her expression was unprecedentedly solemn and serious. She was not like the fishy and distracted person she used to be, so she asked.

??"Ah? Oh, this eraser... it feels good and is quite unique. Didn't we talk about promotion and operation yesterday? I think we can do some printed products when we do offline promotion. Customized rubbers from Game LG are given to players or passers-by. Alas, this is a trivial matter. You big guys don’t need to worry about it. You can talk about your business." Yang Zhener waved his hand casually and said.

??In the afternoon, as soon as Yang Zhener received the little fat girl, he said hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe. Let’s go home and play, it should be fun!”

??The little chubby girl holding Yang Zhener's hand sighed and said: "Old fairy sister, although the coin game is super fun, it must be moderate! I have to study first when I get home, and then I can play after I finish studying. The bald uncle said, Demon... that... the basis of the game is knowledge, and only with knowledge can you play well."

??When mentioning "game", Liu Shiling naturally thought that Yang Zhener was talking about the "coin hedging" game. These days, Yang Zhener and Tang Baona are very enthusiastic about games and play until late every day. In fact, she taught them several games with coin-based props, but after playing them for a while, they still found this game to be the most fun. Yang Zhener, in particular, even went to the Internet to order a six-meter-long narrow table to set up at home as a "runway" for collisions.

?? Yang Zhener said proudly: "It's another game, let's play for twenty... no, just play for forty minutes, it won't delay your study! Hehe! By the way, little bell, don't call me the old fairy sister Now, let’s call her Fairy Sister! Otherwise… let’s just be Old Fairy Sister!”

?? She finally got the little chubby girl to call her "fairy sister" before, but after a few calls, it always became "old fairy sister", and then the word "老" always came before the little chubby girl. , and immediately changed it to "fairy sister". After many times, this "old fairy sister" became smooth again.

??Back home, as soon as the little fat girl put down her small schoolbag, Yang Zhener couldn't wait to come over, took her to stand in the middle of the living room, and then formed a circle with data cables at her feet, trapping her in it.

??She took a few steps back and formed a circle around herself.

??Yang Zhener took out a round eraser and gave it to the little fat girl. He took one and stood in his circle, and then said: "Let's hold the eraser in front of our forehead, hold it like this, and then only move our wrists. No one is allowed." Move your forearms and big arms to throw the rubber!"

??The little fat girl followed suit and said helplessly: "Sister Old Fairy, I can't throw far like this!"

??"Ah...then...you are allowed to move your forearms!" Yang Zhener scratched his head and said.

??"But how to play like this?"

??"Hey, this way, if I shout one, two, three, you will throw your eraser at my head, and I will use mine to hit your eraser. If I hit it, I will win. If you hit it My head, you win! You can’t dodge it with your body, and you can’t dodge it with your head either! Well, if you win once, you have the right to order the same dish for dinner!”

??"Oh." The little fat girl nodded to express her understanding.

??Then she placed the rubber in the middle of her forehead as instructed, and then swung her forearm one, two, three times to throw the rubber out like a basketball.

??Then Yang Zhener moved his wrist slightly and shot out the rubber from his hand, hitting the little fat girl's rubber accurately.

??"Yeah!" Yang Zhener made fists with both hands and did a deep squat.

??"Huh?" The little fat girl also widened her eyes and looked at the two erasers on the ground in surprise.

??But Yang Zhener quickly went over to pick it up, gave one piece to the little fat girl, and said: "It's your turn, little bell, this time I'll throw it at you, and you can intercept it!"

??The little fat girl was still a little confused. She nodded subconsciously while holding the eraser. Then she imitated Yang Zhener's posture just now and held the eraser on her forehead in preparation.

??After Yang Zhener shouted one, two, three, the little fat girl threw the rubber, but failed to intercept the flying rubber. It was accurately hit on the forehead. Her little head raised and let out a crisp scream.

??The rubber was small and soft, and Yang Zhener threw it very lightly, so it didn't hurt much after hitting the forehead.

??But the little fat girl’s competitive spirit was aroused. She rubbed her forehead and said, “Sister Laoxian, let’s play with coins.”

??"No! Coins are metal, super hard, and can be hurt. If you are hurt by me, I will be very distressed. Hehe, no!" Yang Zhener flatly refused.

??Little Fat Girl: “No, no, I will control the coins.

??“No, no, you can only use an eraser.”

??"How about... let's throw the cup, one throws the cup and the other intercepts."

??"We'll play that later. Let's play this first, or...little Lingdang, do you think you can't beat me and want to give up? In that case, your fairy sister won't be able to accept it. I'll be the one calling the takeaways that night." ?Let me think about what I want to eat."

??"Come again." Liu Shiling rubbed her forehead, picked up her piece of eraser, stood back in the small circle and said.

??She just felt something vaguely, and she wanted to confirm it again.

??Yang Zhener returned to his small circle, then took the rubber and made a throwing posture: "Hoo hoo hoo, little bell, are you ready to take the move?"

??Liu Shiling nodded vigorously and said yes.

??As Yang Zhener shouted one, two, three, this time, the rubber intercepted by Liu Shiling still missed.

??Seeing that Yang Zhener's small round eraser was about to touch the little fat girl's forehead, something happened suddenly. The eraser actually stopped at a position less than one centimeter in front of the little fat girl's forehead!

??At the same time, the lights in the indoor living room dimmed a bit.

??Yang Zhener was stunned, and her consciousness was trance-like for a moment. She had an illusion, as if time had stopped?

??"Little bell..." She spoke subconsciously.

??Then Liu Shiling, who seemed to have just reacted, was also stunned. She found the eraser suspended in front of her forehead, then rolled her eyes, screamed, tilted her head back exaggeratedly, covered her forehead and squatted down: "Old man. Fairy Sister is so accurate!"

??The rubber then fell to the ground as if it had lost its support.

??Yang Zhener stared blankly at the little chubby girl who was squatting on the ground and covering her forehead. Her acting skills were extremely poor and she was still secretly looking at her with her eyes. She felt that her thinking was a little confused.
