What It’s Like Being a Vampire

The surveillance video that Joel saw in that restaurant in Liushi was Alice's "work".

In the video, John, Alice, and other details including the food on the table are all made by Alice.

If it is a person to do "special effects", it takes a lot of work and high technical requirements. Relatively speaking, it is the most convenient to do "face changing" and the overall effect is the most realistic. At least one person must "play" John. , And then replaced the collected "John's face", the image of Alice is also the same, it needs to be played by people-because Alice's body can not be photographed.

But in fact, Alice has her own "editing" method for this kind of digital video material. Unlike humans who need to operate from the picture level, she can directly edit and edit the material at a lower level according to the desired effect. Creation, not only has human learning and cognitive ability, but also has the convenience of program operation. It is very fast to produce videos and pictures that are fake and true, perfectly blend into the background, and deceive the human eye.

Of course, this ability was not derived when Joel was discovered in the country, but Xiang Kun had already assigned Alice a long-term mission, and she had already made preparations.

However, at present, not everyone's image can be perfectly fabricated quickly through digital devices, and it is necessary to collect a lot of information in advance to blend into the background.

John happens to be her focus on "taking care" of the target, so it can not only fake surveillance video, but also directly replace Joel's face taken with his mobile phone.

As for allowing Alice to appear in real-time monitoring, it couldn't be easier.

In the future, when Alice collects enough information and materials, she will be able to create more and more "virtual real images" in real time, which can also be deeply applied in the VR and AR fields they will invest in the future.

As for Bang Xiangkun's "stealth" in surveillance, and even his "face change" in surveillance, that's all fundamental.

Of course, in addition to videos and images, Alice also has targeted influence and guidance on Joel in many other ways.

Joel felt that he was hypnotized and implied, but in fact, everything he saw was objectively "real", and the suggestion to him was "righteous".

It was as if the large-screen life insurance advertisement on the square that he saw at the entrance of the restaurant was clearly released in public after Alice revised it.

Because basically no one except Joel will notice the English advertising slogan that was already overwhelmed by the surrounding noise, even if they noticed it, they wouldn’t think too much-only Joel would realize this sentence It was almost exactly the same as what he had said to John.

Originally, after attracting Joel’s attention, he was suggested to go to the travel agency pointed to by the girl in the advertisement. There will be a set of corresponding operations at that time, suggesting that Joel went to Wu Shushan-the reason why he chose Wu Shushan instead of directly Chongyun Mountain is because Wushu Mountain is more well-known as a 5A-level scenic spot, which makes it easier and more reasonable to imply, and second, it leaves room for operation.

Of course, Joel did not go to the travel agency, and Alice also had a series of follow-up influences, including disguising advertising calls to passers-by and guiding the voices and reactions of passers-by.

Controlling the billboards within Joel's sight, some seemingly normal advertising sounds were also tampered with by Alice into words with strong hints and guidance.

There is a lot of information, which is arranged according to the cognition of Joel in John's dream.

It's like using your mobile phone in the living room with your head down. If the sound on the TV is an advertisement that you don't pay attention to, as long as the sound is not loud enough, you can ignore and ignore it, and temporarily block it. But if you suddenly call out the name of the goddess that you have a crush on for a long time on TV, you will usually react as long as you don't watch it too fascinated.

Then when you look up, you find that although the pronunciation is the name of the goddess, it is actually the normal two words in a sentence, which has nothing to do with the person you like, so you continue to look down.

But then, time and time again, the name of the goddess was constantly "proposed" on TV in various ways, and you finally looked down on it, and you began to think: Could it be that God is also suggesting that I should confess to the goddess? Are we actually a match made in heaven?

For Joel, the specifics are different, but the patterns of influence and implication are also roughly the same.

It's just that Joel's possible suspicion directions must be taken into account, to guess his thinking path, and to guide it.

Of course, these were not arranged by Alice herself. Xiang Kun and Lao Xia had been guiding and conducting "strategic planning" from the side, and then handing over the specific "tactical implementation" to Alice.

Xiang Kun used the information in John’s dream and the information found by Alice to organize and build a preliminary Joel behavioral cognitive model, which was used as a guide to predict his behavior, and then improve it based on more information feedback .

And he also has Lao Xia. Compared with his cognitive model, Lao Xia's real-time judgment also has a strong reference.

Lao Xia is more rigorous. When the target information obtained is limited, she will not make a decision rashly, so she just learned that Joel entered the country and guessed his whereabouts. , Mainly to tinker with Kun and Alice.

After Joel stepped on the "pit", according to his specific reaction, according to the various visual images Alice transmitted back to the city and in the car, Lao Xia would give her own opinions after analyzing and judging.

For example, when Joel was planning to go directly to Pengcheng regardless of his care, Lao Xia suggested that Alice send an email to Joel’s contact mailbox in the name of John, and ask the other party to go to Pengcheng directly, and deliberately made the content of the email. Very fake.

According to Lao Xia, this is to make "Go to Pengcheng" an option similar to "Go to Wu Shushan" and let Joel choose.

In comparison, although "Going to Pengcheng" seems to be much more reliable, and it was Joel's original plan, "Going to Wu Shushan" gave him a lesser sense of external threat.

According to Lao Xia's observation, this Joel's character is still cowardly and timid, bullying and fearful of hardship. When there is a safer choice, he will definitely choose the safer path.

Sure enough, after Joel received the sleazy mail and arrived in Pengcheng, he got off the highway and immediately found a car to get on the highway and head to Wu Shushan.

Of course, even without Lao Xia's idea, Xiang Kun and Alice still have a series of backhands arranged in Pengcheng City. Most of them are serial pits, which will be a lot of trouble, and may even change the place of the last observation.

Seeing the surveillance screen, after Joel entered the Chongyun mountain area, Xiang Kun was also relieved. After routinely complimenting Alice, he commanded her:

"Then I'll leave it to you. In short, don't let him leave Chongyun Mountain. Try to lock his range of activities within our designated C-23 to C-29 area. Don't make him too easy, give him more. Psychological pressure, but don’t let him have a specific battle goal, don’t let him fall into complete despair, try to let him enter the phased disintegration process as soon as possible, you know what I mean?"

"Alice understands! There is a problem with the hemp! It must be arranged! Boss, don't worry!" Alice did not succeed in applying for all, so she could only increase the volume of the speaker and responded clearly.

Xiang Kun naturally had no doubt about this. In Chongyun Mountain, Alice was like swimming on her own hard drive, with too many methods.

After Joel entered the depths of the forest, he couldn't take pictures of his camera anymore. Alice took the initiative to say that she could launch a simulated screen, and directly displayed her observations through the super-sensing information on the screen, and then through her previous collection of worship The environmental picture information of various places in Yunshan is simulated to create a "surveillance video" that looks like a real picture.

It looks really bluffing. If you don't know the situation, you might even think that it was taken by a drone in the sky in real time, and you can change all angles and observe closer.

But because Alice's handling was so delicate, it made the picture very lagging, so Xiang Kun directly asked her to mark the position with a simple cartoon diagram. Anyway, she knew it was fake. Smoothness and less delay are the key.

So the real-time monitoring becomes: in a mountain forest with "little fat girl style", a "little fat girl style" blonde villain who looks like KFC grandfather moves in the forest.

Alice explained from time to time: "He is standing still now, he seems to be a little confused, I don’t know where to go! Boss, let’s give him some hints! Oh yes, boss, let me arrange it myself, then I will arrange for him!"

So on the screen, a square-shaped object lighted up at the position of the blond man’s leg. Then the man picked it up. Alice explained, “I turned on his phone and took a photo of him! After taking the photo, I Changed him to John's face! Oh, he was scared! He was nervous! His muscles were tight and his pupils were dilated. He couldn't believe it. I took a few more pictures and I changed him again! I'm still in a daze, it seems to be beginning to doubt life, hey, I'll exchange it for him again! He looks left, right, and continues to doubt life..."

Alice's voice was very passionate and excited, sometimes with a little bit of the peculiar way of speaking in Xiangchu but imitating Tianjin dialect when the little fat girl recently said cross talk, just like she was speaking in a solo talk show.

However, both Xiang Kun and Lao Xia in front of the monitor were expressionless and unresponsive. Lao Xia really didn't get any points, but Xiang Kun was tired of listening. Alice's passion can be maintained for 24 hours. She was in this state during the process of digging for Joel.

At the beginning, every time Joel stepped on a "pit", Alice would apply to show up, and then danced in front of him and Lao Xia.

So now as long as he heard the excitement of Alice, he would automatically make up a little girl who looked like a little old Xia constantly dancing and screaming. It was really a bit painful in the bluffing. But it's not good not to make her happy, because she did behave well...

"Oh? He seems to be running? That's impossible! In Alice's forest, no one can escape! No, there, people!"

Alice continued to give a very passionate explanation, and then she saw a little girl in a white dress with a "little fat girl" in the cartoon forest coming out not far from the old blond man, shaking, and again The quack disappeared.

"The evil demon of the blood race wants to chase and kill the righteous Alice, but he, chasing, no, coming! He looks for, looks for, looks for, and can't find it. He wants to run again? It's impossible to let him run. Alice the Justice shows up, shoo!!"

Not only does the picture have a "little fat girl" style, but Alice has even become "chubby" in her commentary.

Xiang Kun couldn’t help thinking that if she took the little chubby girl with her, she would be super happy and devoted to seeing Alice’s "live explanation". I wish she could directly use the five-coin matrix to help her "little screw sister" "The power of thunder.

But he immediately denied this idea, because if it was really like that, then Alice would be full of excitement, and she would definitely come up with all kinds of "moths" in order to show off in front of her little bell sister.

Xiang Kun glanced at Xia Libing next to him again. Lao Xia's eyes were round and she seemed to be paying attention to Joel's situation on the screen, but he knew that Lao Xia would probably analyze Alice better than Joel. He needs more energy-after all, the latter is already completely immersed, and the next real experimental observation needs to go to the "super-sensing state" of Kun.

However, through the analysis of sensory information, Xiang Kun knew that at this point in time, Lao Xia was already drowsy, and she should soon be unable to hold it up and she would fall asleep.

He looked at the cartoon blond old man on the screen again and said, "Alice, speed up the progress."

Hurry up and let the old vampire disintegrate. He quickly collected supersensory information so that Lao Xia could go to sleep at ease.

"Okay! Boss!"

"I want to use the big trick I learned from Lao Xia!"

"Fog!~Fog!~Fog!~Fog up!~~"

...

Joel, in the depths of Chongyun Mountain, naturally couldn't hear Alice's bluffing and milky "fog", but he saw with his own eyes a cloud of mist suddenly emerging out of thin air.

Then these strange mists quickly filled his surroundings, blocking his sight.

Joel was shocked, this fog showed that there was a problem, could it be his illusion again?

And let him be sure that this was his own illusion, because the fog actually smelled of barbecue!

Joel furiously waved his arms and rushed forward, but not only could he not dissipate the fog, but he could not rush out. On the contrary, he couldn't step on it firmly. After falling down, he rolled on the ground for a few laps and stopped after hitting a tree. .

What Joel didn't know was that if someone looked down from a high altitude at this time, they would find a scene even stranger than what he saw in the fog-a cloud of fog that seemed to be alive, constantly moving in the mountains and forests.

And in that mist, is Joel.

This cloud of fog happened to cover all the seven or eight meters around Joel, and moved around with him, completely obscuring his vision, and "sticking" him to death.

After this mist was revealed by Lao Xia alone to cover the environment more than a month ago, Alice also possessed the ability to appear-she can naturally inherit the abilities of Lao Xia's items, including pork knuckle, cake, ice cream, etc. And so is no exception.

Joel in the mist became more and more manic, but he still has his sanity. Even if vision and smell are affected at the same time, he still has the "prosthetic tissue fluid" arranged all the way to help him anchor his position. .

So after he fell, he didn't get up. He lay down on the side of the tree and put his head against the ground to sense the "prosthesis" he had arranged in advance.

However, what he didn't know was that while the fog was rising, a large number of ants ran out from all over Chongyun Mountain, some with wings, black and black like bees, some burst out of the soil, densely gathered together, and then toward When Joel entered the mountain, he arranged for the "prosthetic tissue fluid" to flow from various locations.

The plants that were parasitized with the "prosthetic tissue fluid" looked the same at first glance, and there was no change, but after the ant colony approached and began to seem, they immediately moved their branches like pain, starting from the top. The emerging small flower-shaped "organs" spewed corrosive liquid.

Large swaths of ants died in the smoke, but their companions still went forward, desperately attacking these plants that Joel called "prosthetics", clinging to them ~www.novelmtl.com~ and constantly gnawing.

The reason why Joel can be called the "master of the forest" is that these "prosthetic" plants arranged by him can help him to spot others in advance, and conspiracy against others.

In the fog, even if the sense of sight and smell are obscured, he can distinguish the direction and recognize the enemy through the pre-arranged "prosthetics" all over the place.

But now, when the "prosthesis" is attacked by the omnipresent colony of ants, he finally feels desperate.

He knew that that big invisible hand really held him in it, and there was nowhere to escape.

But what’s even more frightening is that he still doesn’t know who the enemy is or who the opponent is. In his various induction methods, there is no "blood clan" or "blood beast" around him. , "Blood Plants", not even a little bit of creatures!

Just as he fell into despair, a little girl's voice sounded: "I heard that you are called'Lord of the Forest'?"
