What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Pengcheng.

In a meeting room on the 10th floor of an office building, eight people, including Zhang Qian and Tang Baona, are having a meeting to discuss some temporary problems.

However, the expressions on the faces of several people are relatively relaxed. After all, they are not encountering any major problems, and time is not short.

Only Yang Zhener, who was sitting at the corner of the conference table and looking at the notebook, had a solemn expression, as if she felt that the problem was serious, and she was very dissatisfied with the way Tang Baona and Zhang Qian discussed.

However, until the discussion of the issue was over, when Tang Baona, Zhang Qian, and other people in the meeting room all got up and started to pack their things and leave, she did not say a word, but silently closed the laptop and followed Tang Baona. Leave, as if she was just a meeting recorder.

Zhang Qian and others had to take the elevator down to the underground parking lot to drive, but Tang Baona and Yang Zhener lived in a hotel near the office building and could be reached on foot, so they said goodbye on the first floor.

Out of the office building door, Tang Baona glanced at Yang Zhener, who was carrying a backpack next to her and still squinting. She seemed to have something to worry about. She couldn't help but smiled: "When we had a meeting just now, you were looking at something very heavy and miserable. Social news? Why have you been so bitter?"

Yang Zhener was taken aback when he heard the words, and then dissatisfied, "Hey? Why are you wronging someone? Am I the kind of person who would openly watch the news and fish when other people are in a meeting to discuss business matters! I can't just watch it. Company documents, are you thinking about the issues you are discussing? Maybe I also have unique insights! None of you asked my opinion just now!"

"So,'Manager Yang', what do you have to say?" Tang Baona shook her right fist, pretending to hold a microphone and handed it over.

Yang Zhen'er stopped, leaned back slightly, glared at her, and said, "This is not in the meeting room, and Zhang Qian and others are not there. It's useless if I tell you, don't tell!"

"Oh, you're still playing tricks?" Tang Baona said. She took Yang Zhen'er's neck in the past and leaned her against her, and smiled: "Come on, I was in the meeting room just now. I can see what you’re watching on your screen. You’re watching the news in pictures and texts! I’m on Weibo! I’m still reading Zhihu! There is also a white background. What website is it from?"

"I'm not! I don't!" Yang Zhener clasped Tang Baona's neck with her backhand and said shamelessly.

"Don't admit it yet, you take out the computer and look at the browser history record, there are all browsing time on it!" Tang Baona tried backwards, strangling Yang Zhener's neck, and said with a smile.

Yang Zhen'er was first caught under the armpit by Nana. She lost her position advantage and couldn't use her strength. She couldn't resist. She had to poke her hand down and scratch her waist.

Tang Baona bounced away with a smile, and then reached out to grab her computer bag.

While hiding, Yang Zhen'er said with a "serious" expression: "Stop making trouble, tell you something very big and big that I have discovered!"

"What's the matter? The fan you were chasing was cut off, or the peripherals you wanted to buy were out of stock, or your mom asked you to go back to get married, and your dad asked you to go back to inherit the family business. Your driver's license scores were deducted. Forgot the annual inspection of the car?" Tang Baona obviously felt that she was changing the subject, and naturally teased her casually.

Yang Zhener ignored her friend's banter and continued to maintain a serious expression: "It's related to Chef Xiang. Do you remember the news about Myanmar we talked about when we were eating at noon? There was riots, and the one where monsters appeared? "

Tang Baona asked strangely: "You mean that many people saw hallucinations in Montamilla? What does that matter have to do with Xiang Kun?"

When they were having dinner with Zhang Qian and others at noon, Director Lin talked about the news casually, but simply said that a riot occurred in Muntamira, Burma, and then an illusion of a huge monster appeared, which frightened the mob. , Stopped the riot.

But because they had other things to talk about at the time, this topic was only casually mentioned. Director Lin didn't elaborate on it, and other people didn't discuss it in depth.

After all, it happened in another country, and to Tang Baona, what kind of monster hallucinations and illusions sounded like some kind of group confusing behavior, and it was not the information she would pay attention to and curiosity.

"Do you know what the monster illusion that appeared in Montamilla is like?" Yang Zhen'er came over and said mysteriously.

"Since it is an illusion, does it matter what it is like?" Tang Baona asked strangely.

Yang Zhen'er shook his head: "Several blocks, many people have seen the same illusion, it is not just an illusion. You know, all the monster illusions they saw have one characteristic, eight arms, eight One eye! How do you think of something?"

Tang Baona frowned slightly: "You mean, the wooden sculpture that Xiang Kun carved before?"

"Yes, yes, it was he who carved the eight-armed eight-eyed woodcarving that he gave to your grandfather. Later, your second uncle secretly sent the woodcarving to someone's practice, and then you found it and wanted to come back? Having said that, Chef Xiang told you that the eight-armed and eight-eyed image was designed by himself?" Yang Zhener nodded and said.

"He did say it at the beginning, but the image of eight eyes and eight arms shouldn't be his unique woodcarving special guide?" Tang Baona said.

Yang Zhen'er took out his mobile phone, checked it for a while, and showed it to her: "Look, this is the wood carving from Chef Xiang."

When Xiang Kun gave Tang Baona the eight-armed eight-eyed wood carving, she also took a few photos, and even sent it to Lao Xia, asking her to analyze it, and Xiang Kun created such an image of the wood carving. What kind of psychology is it?

In addition to the picture of the eight-armed eight-eyed wood carving taken earlier, Yang Zhener flipped the picture again to show Tang Baona the other picture she had just found.

That picture is also a monster with eight arms and eight eyes. It was obviously drawn by someone with a background in painting. Although it was not painted, it looked very realistic.

Look at the previous picture of wood carving first, and then look at this drawing. When comparing the two, no matter who you are, you will feel that they are different artistic expressions of the same thing.

"This was painted by a person who witnessed Montamilla last night. This picture is the image she saw. How about it? It's basically the same as Chef Xiang's wood carving! And this..." Yang Zhener again I took my phone back, searched on the browser, and then handed the video I found to Tang Baona to watch: "Look at this, this is a 3D image restored by foreign media based on the descriptions of other witnesses. Is it basically the same? ?"

Tang Baona frowned slightly when she saw it: "It's a bit like...but the wood carving made by Xiang Kun is much more cute...this painting and the 3D picture...should it be just a coincidence?"

Yang Zhener immediately said: "When you had a meeting, I searched on the Internet. Generally, statues with many arms are three-eyed, multi-armed, or three-headed, six-armed, or three-headed and eight-armed. I searched for a long time, but none Find an image with eight eyes and eight arms at the same time. The only one with similar characteristics...the only spider."

"So you mean that the hallucinations and hallucinations that so many people in Montamilla had produced were created by Xiang Kun? Why did he do that? How did he do it?" Tang Baona asked.

"Does this still need to be said, of course it is to prevent Montamira from rioting against the Chinese!" Yang Zhener said, lowering the volume, next to Tang Baona, holding her arm, and whispered: "Nana, Do you remember the last time I told you that Chef Xiang might have joined a secret organization with superpowers? It should be the task that the secret organization gave him to quell the riots! Hey, Nana, do you remember that we watched it together before? The JOJO? You said that the style of painting cannot be accepted. I only watched the two episodes. I watched it by myself. In fact, you can accept the style of painting after a while...anyway, anyway, to the third part, inside The abilities of the strong are all accomplished by a kind of phantom called "substitute". Do you think that the eight-armed and eight-eyed monster phantom is Xiang Chef's "stand-in"? We usually look at the chef doing it When cooking, doing wood carving, and doing many things, he actually called the "stand-in" to work, but we can't see it..."

Tang Baona frowned at the beginning and listened very seriously, because she also felt that the paintings drawn by Montamilla and the 3D images made by the media were very similar to the eight-armed eight-eyed wood sculpture that Xiang Kun had previously carved. At least the overall structure is basically the same. But as she listened, she couldn't help but bend over with a smile, and Zhen'er started to overcompensate again.

"Walk around, let's eat some supper first, you are starving to death, you eat and YY." Tang Baona walked behind Yang Zhen'er and pushed her forward.

"Where to eat? I want to have soup, hey, but that one is a bit far away, it's too late now, let's eat beef noodles...Wait a minute, what YY! I am seriously analyzing the problem, OK!"

After finding a noodle restaurant nearby and ordering something good, Yang Zhener continued to "perfect" her inference.

But seeing Tang Baona squinting her eyes and looking at her expression with a smile, Yang Zhener couldn't help asking: "Nana, don't you still believe what I said? Isn't what I said makes no sense?"

"No, if you want to confirm, just ask Xiang Kun directly?" Tang Baona smiled.

"When you were in the meeting, I already sent him a dozen WeChat messages, and he didn't reply to any of them! And I also asked Liu Chuang on WeChat. He is still in Tongshi Town, but he said to the chef. I haven't been to the'Youlong Hotel' for two days! I also asked Lao Xia, but Lao Xia has not returned to me yet." Yang Zhener said.

"Can you just call him directly?" Tang Baona said.

"That won't work... Then... Then it's time to startle the snake!"

Tang Baona smiled and said, "Are you afraid of being exposed by Xiang Kun directly to your naive guess?" She said, picking up the phone directly, finding Xiang Kun's name from the call log and dialing it out.

"Hey?!" Yang Zhen'er was startled, and quickly got up, moved to Tang Baona's side, moved his head over, and snooped on her mobile phone.

"...The subscriber you dialed is temporarily unavailable, please call again later. Sorry, Thesubscriberyoudialed..."

Listening to the female voice prompt from Nana's phone, Yang Zhener laughed and walked back to her seat in time and said, "Look, it's there again, the phone can't get through, and the person disappeared. , Every once in a while, there will always be a day or two or even several days! It must be to'execute a task'!"

Tang Baona frowned and thought about it, and then she was about to call Lao Xia. She knew that Lao Xia was helping Xiang Kun build a breeding research center. During this time, she was either in Tongshi Town or Chongyun Village. She should be opposite Xiangkun’s whereabouts. It will be clearer.

But before she pressed the dial button, Yang Zhener's cell phone rang first.

Yang Zhen'er picked up the phone and took a look. She was taken aback and said to Tang Baona, "It's my mother... strange, why would my mother call me so late?"

"Is it something urgent? Hurry up!" Tang Baona urged.

After Yang Zhener answered his mother's phone, she didn't say a few words, but her expression became more and more surprised. After talking with her for a while, she hung up the phone.

Tang Baona said with concern: "Is someone kidnapped in your family?" Judging from the few words Yang Zhener just said when talking with her mother, someone in her family was kidnapped, but strangely, judging from the tone of their communication , And it doesn't seem to be very urgent.

Yang Zhen'er moved a chair from opposite Tang Baona, approached her, and whispered: "You know the kidnapped person. It's my stupid cousin,'big guy' Xia Tianhuo. But it's all right now. He has been rescued, he was actually kidnapped in Myanmar three days ago..."

Tang Baona grabbed the key word at once, frowned and asked, "Myanmar?"

"You also thought of it, right? That's right, it's Myanmar, and it's in Montamira!" Yang Zhener suppressed the volume, but couldn't suppress her excitement and excitement.

"We were just talking about the country of Myanmar, so of course we will think about it. Who was your cousin kidnapped and how was he rescued?" Tang Baona asked, this time her curiosity was also affected by Yang. Really aroused.

Yang Zhener said: "My mother just found out. The specific details are still unclear. It seems to have been **** for three days. But you know what, the first person my silly old brother asked the kidnapper to call was not me. Uncle and aunt, but Lao Xia!"

"So...your cousin was rescued because of Lao Xia? But Lao Xia is still in the country, right?"

"I don't know, but if I knew that the person my cousin was kidnapped was Lao Xia for the first time, then Chef Xiang would probably also know for the first time!" Yang Zhen'er became more excited: "Then it happened that Chef Xiang was in Mengta. Mira performed the organization task and got Lao Xia's help call, so she saved the'big guy' by the way!"

Tang Baona gave her a white look: "You're here again! If Xiang Kun's mobile phone fails to get through when Xiang Kun is'on mission' as you said before, then how did Lao Xia contact him? How did you let him know that your cousin was kidnapped? What happened? And it happened to be in Montamilla? Is there such a coincidence?"

Yang Zhen'er was taken aback and nodded: "Yes! Could it be that Chef Xiang was entrusted by Lao Xia and ran to Montamilla to save the'big guy', and then the people they organized said,'Oh, Brother Xiang, You should perform the task, huh? You are in Burma, in Montamira? That's right, there is also a task over there, you can solve it by the way', so after saving the'big guy', he went to Montamira Put the riots down!"

"You call and ask Lao Xia to see where Xiang Kun is now, do you know this?" Tang Baona said.

"Reasonable!" Yang Zhener called Lao Xia's cell phone, but after a round of ringing, he was not picked up.

"I guess Lao Xia is already asleep?"

"No, during the previous meeting, I sent her WeChat and she didn't reply, so she went to bed so early." Yang Zhener said, dialing again.

After a few rings this time, the phone finally picked up.

...

Xia Libing sat up on the bed, looked at the ringing mobile phone, and then at Xiang Kun, who was laying on the floor not far away, after thinking about it, and pressing the connect button.

"Lao Xia! What are you doing?" Yang Zhener's voice was a little anxious and excited.

"Sleeping." Xia Libing replied naturally.

"Hey? Didn't you go to bed very late before? You were in the group at two o'clock in the morning?"

"I didn't sleep well yesterday." Xia Libing said.

"By the way, I just heard my mother say, "Big Man" was kidnapped? And the kidnapper's phone call for money came directly to your cell phone? Did you notify other people?"

"Right." Xia Libing replied.

"Who was kidnapped by the'big guy' and who rescued it?" Yang Zhen'er asked hurriedly again.

"After he returns to China, you can ask him yourself, he knows better." Xia Libing said.

"Where is Chef Xiang? Where is Chef Xiang now?" Yang Zhen'er continued to ask.

Xia Libing replied without any pause: "He went to Nande City the day before yesterday."

"Southern Germany? Isn't it Montamira?" Yang Zhen'er on the other side of the phone seemed very surprised.

"Why Montamira?"

"Didn't you ask Xiang Kun to go to Montamira to save the'big guy'?" Yang Zhener asked.

"I didn't ask him, why do you think so?" Xia Libing asked rhetorically.

"Have you seen the discussion on the Internet? In Montamira last night, many people saw a phantom with eight arms and eight eyes. Witnesses drew a picture, which is very similar to the original wood carving before Xiang Kun! So I suspect, What happened to Montamira was done by Chef Xiang in order to complete the mission of the secret organization to which he belongs! Remember what I told you last time? Maybe Xiang Kun had some adventure last year and joined a secret organization..."

Yang Zhen'er became more excited as she spoke, and re-described her earlier guesses and the words she just said to Tang Baona with Xia Libing, describing and perfecting her conjecture.

At the end, Yang Zhener said: "Lao Xia, have you found something wrong with Xiang Kun during this period of time in Chongyun Village? Have you found that he often disappears, does not answer WeChat, and cannot get through with his cell phone?"

"I didn't find anything wrong." Xia Libing said, "His phone seems to be broken. When he comes back or buys a new phone, you can ask him."

After finishing the conversation with Yang Zhen'er, Xia Libing sat on the bedside, watching the light from the living room entering the door, watching sleeping on the floor, no movement, not noisy by the sound of her phone ringing just now. Xiang Kun, who arrived, was thinking about something.

She has only slept for more than two hours so far. Naturally, her sleep is not enough, but after being awakened by her cousin's phone call, she did not continue to sleep immediately.

She did not wonder why she fell asleep on the sofa before, but now she came to the bed-obviously it doesn’t matter if Xiang Kun sleeps or not, so Xiang Kun put her on the bed, which is the most adequate resource for the bed. use.

After getting up to the living room and pouring a cup of hot water to drink, Xia Libing returned to the room and recorded some data on Xiang Kun who was lying on the ground, just as she did during Xiang Kun's several blood drinking and sleeping periods.

Then she returned to the living room and sat on the sofa, looking at the laptop on the coffee table, thinking about something.

Yang Zhener's speculation that part of it was close to the truth did not shock or surprise Xia Libing.

As the blood-drinking period passed one after another, the mutation deepened. Although Xiang Kun looked like he did not change much from when he first met, he actually has more and more abilities that allow him to recognize the world in ways and Great changes have taken place in thinking efficiency and thinking angle.

With the continuous expansion and derivation of the "hyperlinked system", this change is becoming more and more subtle and fast.

He didn’t have many contacts before. After the mutation, he deliberately kept a certain distance from most people. Only people with strong insights can feel a little bit when he has a very small amount of contact. What makes him different.

But if it is someone who has a good relationship with him and has more communication and contact, then no matter how slow, he will still find his peculiarities, which is almost inevitable.

Even if they are subjectively not aware of it because of habit, they will definitely have corresponding awareness in instinct and subconsciousness. In essence, Xiang Kun's way of existence in this world is already vastly different from ordinary humans.

Xia Libing knew that not only her cousin Zhen'er, but also Nana, Zicheng, Chang Bin, You Meng, and even Liu Caifu, Chu Xiuwen, and others who had been in contact with Chongyun Village recently, were somewhat aware of Xiang Kun's peculiarity.

It's just that the information they know is very limited, and they are all able to explain the past with some reasons. They are self-persuasive. For people who are familiar and trust, the human psychology itself will automatically repair and adapt the cognition.

Xiang Kun must have considered these situations.

Xia Libing is thinking about another question now.

She had just come to the living room to pour water and found her laptop with the screen facing the door.

If Xiang Kun used the computer when she was asleep before, the screen should also be facing the sofa. There is only one row of sofas in her living room, and there is no place to sit on the other side.

Moreover, according to Xiang Kun’s habit of using laptops that she has always observed, after a stage of use, such as leaving home or going to dinner, he will actively close the laptop regardless of whether it is turned on or off. .

Since he was going to fall asleep after drinking blood, after using the computer, he would close the computer according to his habit. He wouldn't leave it like that, and he was facing the direction of the door strangely.

The computer screen is off, but it is still turned on, and the power cord is connected. She clearly remembered that before Xiang Kun came back, her laptop was not connected to the power cord.

If other people saw this scene, most people would not think much about it.

But Xia Libing thought of a lot of things at once, such as the abruptly lit camera indicator at Xiangkun's home when she helped Xiangkun drink blood for the first time to watch during his sleep.

Like now, this notebook looks like the screen is facing the door, which is meaningless, but in fact the camera above the screen is also facing the door, although it seems that the camera indicator is not lit.

During this time, in Chongyun Village, she spent most of her time with Xiang Kun, doing experiments on "Zero One," "Zero Two," and some other creatures earlier, even if she was sleeping When Xiang Kun doesn't need to sleep, he basically knows what Xiang Kun is doing.

She was quite sure that Xiang Kun did not have the time to sit in front of the computer to write code, design, and make changes as required, but Tang Baona, Yang Zhener, Zhang Qian and the others were still able to continuously get changes and iterations based on various opinions. After the new game version, and from their discussion, it can be seen that the evolution of the game is very large, not the kind of small feature repair.

Xia Libing doesn’t know much about programming and game production, but he still has some basic knowledge about it, and he has also played the game developed by Xiang Kun. Judging from the richness of the game's features, the degree of version iteration and the speed of that game, now Xiang Kun did not have the time to realize it.

So, maybe he has another team working for him?

But if this is the case, UU reading www.uukanshu.com does not have to hide from Zhang Qian, Nana, and others, let alone hide it from himself.

Unless, that team is very special, knows the secret of Xiang Kun's mutation, and has been providing technical support, even helping him monitor his own state, can't it be exposed?

But this guess was immediately denied by her.

First of all, with Xiang Kun's current economic situation, it is absolutely impossible to support a development or technical support team.

Secondly, she recalled Xiang Kun's language content, expression state, and performance before and after explaining the mutation situation to her. She still thought that it was the first time Xiang Kun revealed the secret to others. She was the first to know the secret of Xiang Kun mutation. People, so far, should still be the only one.

Otherwise, there are many things, and Xiang Kun cannot make such a choice.

So... how does Xiang Kun do certain things?

Xia Libing narrowed his eyes and looked at his laptop.
