What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Latest website: When Mr. Liang finished eating the "last burger" and left Australia with Xiang Kun and returned to East Asia, he instinctively had different expectations for the "last stop" Xiang Kun said.

During the "hunting trip" with Xiang Kun, there were actually many "blood-eating creatures" with very powerful combat capabilities. If he had to deal with them by himself, finding and determining the location of the "blood-eating creatures" would not be the most difficult task. First step, if you bring the appropriate "biological components", there shouldn't be much of a problem, but no matter what, it will take a lot of trouble - for example, the giant beast in the water cannot be as simple as Xiang Kun Solve it directly.

According to his normal reasoning, with his current staged transformation level, a "blood-eating creature" that meets his "blood source" requirements will not have a transformation level much lower than him, and must be a very powerful existence. This time, he felt that Xiang Kun might not be able to deal with him as easily as before, and he might also have a chance to have a good fight.

"The last stop", perhaps also the "last battle".

After he and Xiangkun took a vehicle arranged by Shenxing Technology and arrived at the mountainous area at the junction of China and Kazakhstan, they got off the car and walked for more than ten kilometers before stopping. Mr. Liang thought he had discovered the location of the "blood-eating creature", so he He took the initiative and said: "What characteristics are the goals this time? Do you need my help? Do I need to prepare 'biological components' in advance?"

Xiang Kun looked at Mr. Liang, who was invisible next to him, and said, "It's okay, it's easy this time."

Mr. Liang was a little surprised. He had already reached this point. It was still easy to face a "blood-eating creature" at this level?

If they are "blood-eating creatures" that have not yet undergone phased transformation, or have only had one or two phased transformations, some may be lucky, some may have targeted mutations and transformations, and are completely defeated by Xiang Kun's characteristics. , the combat effectiveness is not that strong. But to reach a staged transformation level similar to his, one must hunt down a large number of "blood-eating creatures" with a high level of transformation.

Judging by his past rating system for "blood-eating creatures", this target, his last "blood source", must be an "advanced predator" or even an "apex predator".

Faced with such an existence, Xiang Kun can still be "relaxed"?

Or, for Xiang Kun, stirring up the wind and clouds, controlling the weather, and summoning lightning storms to cleanse the ground are also "very easy" behaviors?

Mr. Liang couldn't help but sigh. At first, he wanted to test Xiang Kun, and then see if he could help him take his own path of mutation and evolution. Now it seems that it has become a joke... What Xiang Kun is taking The road was much wider than the one he took. There are even many abilities that he cannot understand at all.

I found that Xiang Kun directly found a stone and sat down.

Then he looked at something with the standard tablet of the secret department of "Shenxing Technology" that he gave him. Mr. Liang asked doubtfully: "Have you not determined the location of the 'blood-eating creature'?"

"No, let's wait here first." Xiang Kun said without explaining much.

Mr. Liang didn't ask any more questions. He found a seat next to him and sat down. After a few minutes, when he saw that Xiang Kun still had no intention of leaving, he asked, "I have a question."

"What questions?"

"Normally speaking, according to our research and my past actual experience, if you devour other 'blood-eating creatures' and complete the normal staged transformation, there should be a period of substantial mutation and evolution in a short period of time. According to my 'biological component' evolutionary system, it will be more reflected in my many 'biological components'.

"The interval between our phased transformations this time is too short. I can't let my R\u0026D team guide evolution through the adjustment of 'biological components'. But normally, I should also have some spontaneity." Uncontrollable small mutations, possessing some of the main characteristics of the 'blood-eating creatures' that were previously devoured.

"But until now, I have devoured so many 'blood-eating creatures', but no obvious changes have occurred. This seems a bit abnormal?" Mr. Liang asked his doubts.

Xiang Kun put the tablet on his knees, thought for a while, and replied: "Because the mutation process after your staged transformation was restricted by me, how should I put it... Let's use the construction team as an example. You devour other The 'high-dimensional factors' obtained by the 'blood-eating creatures' are the 'workers' that are added to your own construction team.

"Normally, after they have completed the entry procedures, they will be arranged to enter the construction site and start working. Some will join the construction team to work according to the established project plan. And some will find work on their own if they are not assigned to work immediately. Work... For example, some 'workers' were particularly good at building bridges, so when they saw a vacant space on your 'construction site' that was just right, they ran to build a bridge. The external manifestation is that they have the goal of being devoured. significant capabilities.

"And what I did when you were undergoing staged transformation was to let those 'workers' be absorbed by you, complete the entry procedures, and confirm their identities, but they were not immediately sent to the construction site, and they were not allowed to run around on their own. , move randomly, and temporarily put them in a standby state. This state will not last long, but it is enough for us. This can avoid many variables from happening, and also make your own physical and mental state more stable. "

Mr. Liang was surprised when he heard this: "You can directly affect the 'high-dimensional factors' in my body? Can you perform operations at this level?"

Xiang Kun decided to reveal more about the underlying implementation of the "super-sensory item system": "Instead of directly operating the 'high-dimensional factors', it will have some influence on your 'super-sensory information'. This influence can only occur when you are in It can be carried out during the staged transformation process.

"As for what 'supersensory information' is, you can understand it as the source codes and data of various substances in the real world. Under certain conditions, I can directly access these codes and data and have limited influence."

After saying these words, Mr. Liang next to him did not respond for a long time. Although Xiang Kun couldn't see his expression, he could directly understand his general psychology, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry, you will be able to come into contact with these things sooner or later." . When you were in Australia, you should have noticed that there is already a connection between you and many things around you. For you, it is like you have touched the existence of the operation panel. The next step is to see how you do. Build a suitable operating system yourself, and then use your operating system and operating system to connect to the vast world I have built. By then, you will naturally understand what I mean by 'super-sensory information' .”

"Can I wait until that day?" Mr. Liang said.

Xiang Kun knew what he meant and affirmed: "Don't worry, I said, the worst case scenario is that your body will disintegrate and disappear, but the main body of your consciousness, your memory, including your cognition, can be saved, and then I will build a temporary body for you, and then slowly reconstruct and repair it. Of course, there is no way for me to guarantee that I will build a body exactly the same as yours now. But I think... you should be able to Do you agree that the boundary between life and death lies in the survival of consciousness, not the original body?"

Mr. Liang was silent for a few seconds before he said, "I will fully cooperate with you."

Xiang Kun nodded. He knew that Mr. Liang trusted him, or rather, during this period of "hunting", the abilities he continuously displayed and the new cognitive framework he built made Mr. Liang trust— —You also have to trust.

Of course, this is largely related to the fact that Xiang Kun, Alice, and Lao Xia spent a lot of time guiding Mr. Liang to discover Xiang Kun step by step.

Even though Mr. Liang now knows that his "journey of discovery" was intentional by Xiang Kun, this does not prevent the subjective understanding of Xiang Kun established along the way from exerting a subtle influence on him.

Otherwise, Xiang Kun will directly show Mr. Liang a series of powerful and subversive abilities as soon as he comes up, showing the power that can detect everything, control everything, and even make him unable to move and paralyze all "biological components". Although it can also Let him choose to cooperate rationally, but in that case, the impact of showing Xiang Kun's transformation, his moral cognition, and behavior style will be very, very small.

In that case, with Mr. Liang's character, even if he feels that Xiang Kun is powerful enough to deal with the "ultimate predator", even if he rationally believes that cooperation with Xiang Kun is the best and only choice, he will still be full of doubts about various operations. , there will be countless secret plans, and it is absolutely impossible to almost leave life and death in Xiang Kun's hands like now, and still be willing to cooperate fully even when there are many questions that have not been answered.

Even the exact same operations in different orders will have completely different effects.

Xiang Kun and Mr. Liang waited on the bare top of the mountain for an hour and a half before setting off again.

After trekking through the mountains for more than an hour, the two finally reached the target location.

When a large amount of vegetation was rolling, as if under orders, they "worked together" to "split" the ground to both sides, and layers of soil peeled off and rolled up, finally revealing the round object left in the ground. , Mr. Liang finally knew why Xiang Kun told him before that "it's easy this time".

Xiang Kun jumped into the big hole dug with the help of "Little Carrot", patted the adult-sized egg-like thing, and said with a smile: "When we came over just now, this guy happened to be drinking blood. Transformation, in order not to scare it, so we rested on that mountain for an hour first. Before it is completely transformed, it is not a suitable 'blood source' for you, but after it is transformed, it will be. Hehe, this moment is just right. , it is just at the moment when the transformation is completed, but it is not in a state of awakening.”

Mr. Liang, who originally wanted to have a "final battle" and "have a good fight", was a bit dumbfounded, but he did not let Xiang Kun wait for the "blood-eating creature" to completely complete the transformation and wake up before taking action. That would add variables, which was unnecessary.

But he had a question: "You said that it has completed this transformation just to meet my 'blood source' conditions? In that case, how did you determine it before? It had a high degree of transformation before, right? So It should be very difficult for a 'blood-eating creature' to find a suitable target for its 'phased transformation'. How do you know that it will find a suitable target for transformation at this time?"

Xiang Kun said with a smile: "Of course it's because I arranged its 'blood source'." As he said that, he smashed the "eggshell" of the dome hard, making a hole in it, and then grabbed He used the "edge of the hole" to tear open the whole piece of eggshell, revealing an extremely ferocious and terrifying arthropod that was hugged together.

Xiang Kun said: "If this thing hadn't attacked humans a few months ago and had been hiding in the mountains, I might not have known about its existence. It should have mutated from a centipede, although it doesn't look like much now. Looks like a centipede."

"Are you...sending someone to send other suitable 'blood-eating creatures' to it?" Mr. Liang was still a little confused.

"No, I asked a 'suitable' 'blood-eating creature' to come near here, and then let this guy come here too, and then they will naturally find each other. Of course, there is also a bit of 'ultimate predator' in this It is also adding fuel to the fire.”

"Why would the 'Ultimate Predator' do this?"

"Because it knows that I am configuring a suitable 'blood source' for you and helping you to quickly increase the level of staged transformation. This result is what it wants to see." Xiang Kun said, "Although it doesn't know how we are going to To deal with it, it cannot refuse the suitable 'blood source'. So it will only test us, but it will not stop us. It will also quietly help us, because what we are doing is what it wastes. It takes a huge amount of time and effort to do something that is much faster and more efficient.

"Think about it, if you are a farmer, working hard to take care of a farmland, and the crops in the field have grown less than one-tenth, suddenly a huge man rushes into the field, performs operations, and then in a very short time Time has allowed the crops to grow to nine-tenths, what do you think he will do?"

"Be prepared to prevent that burly man from harvesting the crops?" Mr. Liang said, but he couldn't help but laugh. His laughter was like the friction of steel plates: "I am the crop."

"Yes, all its preparations now should be to prevent me from swallowing you when you complete the final transformation, or to influence it to swallow you. But on the issue of whether you want to transform, it is different from us. There is no conflict." Xiang Kun said with a smile, "But it can't understand my purpose, because it can't figure it out. I'm clearly not at the stage of transformation that can swallow you. It doesn't understand what my purpose is, let alone what I will do. How to deal with it.”

Mr. Liang nodded and said with a smile: "Then let's get started."

Regarding the specific steps and details of the plan implementation, Xiang Kun told him that although there were still many questions and many things that he could not understand, now that he had reached this step, he was still willing to believe Xiang Kun and follow Xiang Kun's instructions. Plan and act.

When Mr. Liang began to deal with the "blood-eating creature" in the eggshell, Xiang Kun was at the side, picking up the tablet and contacting Lao Xia.
