What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Within a few minutes, Tang Baona and Yang Zhen'er had already taken the elevator up.

Xiang Kun opened the door and welcomed them in. Tang Baona and Yang Zhen'er were taken aback when they saw the situation inside the room—the living room was filled with multiple computer hosts and peripherals, and various power lines were also intertwined. , spread all over the floor, looking quite chaotic, in stark contrast to the empty and clean living room before.

"I'm sorry, my room is too small, I can't fit all my things, so I dragged them to the living room. I've been busy with this project during this time, so I often forget to reply to WeChat, and I always miss calls..." Xiang Kun half-truth explained.

"Chef Xiang, there is... no place to put food in your room?" Yang Zhen'er asked in surprise, carrying two bags of breakfast.

Tang Baona looked back at Xiang Kun: "You didn't stay up all night last night, did you? It seems that you are not in the right state?"

Even she can feel it? Xiang Kun immediately had some introspection. Although during the day, the mania caused by hunger would be much less severe than at night, but the impact would still be somewhat. When he was deliberately controlling, strangers might not feel anything. Abnormally, a friend like Tang Baona who has been in frequent contact with him recently may still notice the change.

"Yeah, I went to bed very late." Xiang Kun said simply.

As Yang Zhen'er said, he put the breakfast he bought on Xiang Kun's computer chair, and said, "Okay, then let's put the breakfast here, and you can finish it quickly and go to catch up on sleep. I wanted to say that the two of us are in your My family will accompany you to have breakfast, it seems that there is no place to eat at your house, Nana and I should take it to the company to eat."

"Hey? Little yellow people? Xiang carpenter, you have so many, give me one?" Yang Zhen'er, who was about to leave, saw several wood carvings of little yellow people in the room with the door open, and was very interested. Leaned over to pick up one and said.

"Okay, I'll give you one, and then the birthday present will be gone." Xiang Kun said.

"That's impossible! You little yellow man is obviously just doing it casually! It's crudely made! It hurts your hands! No, you have to get me a saber that is similar to Nana's family!" Put the yellow man woodcarving back.

Tang Baona hurriedly pulled Yang Zhen'er away, fearing that it would affect Xiang Kun's rest: "Let's go, go to work."

When sending the two of them out, Xiang Kun said: "I'll sleep for two days and have a good rest. I should recover tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. The project is almost done. Come over for dinner the day after tomorrow night? I still owe Nana several meals." It's not paid off."

"Okay! Then thank the chef for your hard work!" Tang Baona walked into the elevator and turned to him with a smile.

Yang Zhen'er also hurriedly added: "It can't be less than six... well, seven dishes! Soup is not included!"

Tang Baona smiled: "You can't finish seven dishes!"

"Isn't there still you? You can eat so much... oh! A gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands!"

Watching the elevator doors close, Xiang Kun shook his head helplessly. The two of them are really funny sometimes.

He didn't leave immediately, but waited for more than ten minutes before going out again, but as soon as he left the gate of the community, he felt something was wrong.

Although his attention is now on suppressing his hunger, after going out, he still observes the surrounding environment subconsciously.

Then he found that, outside the canteen diagonally opposite the gate of the community, a tall and strong man was holding a cup of milk tea, drinking and looking furtively at this side.

And Xiang Kun noticed that the moment the strong man saw him coming out, his expression changed very obviously. Was this guy staring at him at the door?

Is it the private investigator from before? He was arrested by the police, or he was punished in some way, so he didn't dare to come over and stare at Xiang Kun again, so he came here instead?

However, Xiang Kun quickly denied this judgment, because he could tell that this strong man had no basic skills or common sense in surveillance and stalking.

And his emotional state also made Xiang Kun feel very strange.

So Xiang Kun walked to the canteen, went in and bought a bottle of mineral water from the boss, and then stood in the canteen and took a sip. He noticed that the strong man who was half a head taller than him still couldn't help but keep looking at him, so She also smiled back and nodded to him.

The burly man immediately looked away, pretending to look aside indifferently, and then lowered his head and took a sip of the milk tea, but the milk tea was obviously finished, and he sucked too hard, so he made a rustling sound.

"Brother, it looks a bit unfamiliar. Did you just move to this community? Or come here to find someone?" Xiang Kun greeted with a familiar look.

The strong man hesitated for two seconds, and finally turned around and said, "Are you Xiang Kun?"

"You know me?" Xiang Kun asked pretending to be surprised, but he was slightly relieved. Judging from this performance, it was obvious that he was not a malicious person.

"I am Yang Zhen'er's cousin." The strong man introduced himself.

Xiang Kun froze for a moment, and instantly filled out the multi-line plot in his mind. This is because people in Yang Zhen'er's family misunderstood what she had to do with him, or they heard some rumors, so the family members followed to see the situation? Advise him not to be a toad and want to eat swan meat?

Xiang Kun immediately said: "Ah, hello, hello, Yang Zhen'er just left, yesterday I worked at home until midnight, they called me but I didn't answer, I thought I was sick and died , I stopped by to take a look before going to work in the morning." After a pause, he asked knowingly, "Are you...just passing by here?"

"I'm here to look for you." The strong cousin looked at Xiang Kun and said seriously.

Xiang Kun said: "Well... have you misunderstood something? Yang Zhener and I are very ordinary friends. I cook better, so they often come over to eat together, and occasionally play cards together. Tang Baona's sister and brother-in-law often come here together."

The strong cousin shook his head: "There is no misunderstanding, it's not Yang Zhen'er."

"That's...?" Xiang Kun was at a loss, but judging from the other person's physical reactions, eyes and facial expressions, there was indeed no hostility towards him, but he seemed a little depressed.

"It's Nana, Tang Baona." The brawny cousin took a deep breath and said, "I like Tang Baona." After that, he quickly added: "It's just that I like it unilaterally. In fact, we haven't met a few times. She When you come to my house, you are always with my cousin."

Xiang Kun blinked and blinked, and he didn't know how to respond. Although he and Tang Baona were indeed ordinary friends now, they met each other on a blind date, and they couldn't completely separate their relationship. Besides, the other party is Yang Zhener's cousin, so it is necessary to explain to him about Yang Zhener, but Tang Baona has nothing to do with him.

"Then you... are you here?" Xiang Kun didn't quite understand Yang Zhen'er's cousin's intentions. If he came here as a love rival to make trouble, he didn't feel any hostility, although this The buddy was taller and stronger than Xiang Kun, but he didn't show any aggressiveness.

The brawny cousin also seemed to have started talking, and said in a low voice, "I'm Nana the year before last... Tang Baona and my cousin met her when they came to our house to play, and I fell in love with her at that time. But my cousin Tell me that she doesn't like me like this, she has no interest in me, I thought it was because I was fat at that time, so I have been losing weight for the past two years. Because she has never had a boyfriend, so I think when I lose weight, say Maybe there is still a chance. I don't know...I heard from someone in their company a few days ago that she is already in a relationship with a man named 'Xiang Kun', and when she called at the company, she directly said The person on the other end of the phone said, 'You are so handsome'. From what I know of her personality, she would say such things in public, so I can be sure that I have no chance, no matter how thin I become..."

Xiang Kun was dumbfounded when he heard that, of course he knew what happened when Tang Baona said "Xiang Kun, you are so handsome" - this sentence was not said by Tang Baona, but Xiang Kun made a synthetic sound software with Tang Baona's voice at that time, Forgot to delete the sentence of audition, but when Tang Baona tried it, she played it directly through the speakers of the company computer.

Because that voice sounds very different from Tang Baona's voice, it must have caused misunderstandings by other people in the office.

It's just that I didn't expect that this misunderstanding would spread further and further? Even Yang Zhener's cousin knows?

The brawny cousin continued: "So I just want to see what Xiang Kun, who can make Tang Baona say 'you are so handsome', looks like?"

Xiang Kun didn't ask how he found the community he was in. It shouldn't be too difficult to find out. He was just curious: "But you are waiting here, what if I don't go out?" He was busy with the project of director Lin and Zhang Qian, and later started his own "AI assistance plan", and the number of times he went out was very few.

"I have also thought about whether I should visit your house directly, but I feel that it is not polite to visit your house like this. Anyway, I am going abroad today. I will try my luck on the way to the airport. If I can see it, I will see it. If you don't see it, forget it." The strong cousin took out the cigarette case and gave Xiang Kun a cigarette, and after the latter refused, he lit one himself.

"But if you've never seen me, how did you recognize me just now?" Xiang Kun asked again.

The brawny cousin nodded his bald head with his hand, and said with a smile: "I heard my sister talk about you, saying that you are bald, strong, and good at kung fu, and she said that you can beat four of me with one. "

Xiang Kun laughed: "She's bragging about me."

Cousin of the strong man smiled and said: "However, in this weather, you go out in shorts and short sleeves, and you don't change your face, and you don't seem to be afraid of the cold at all. It is true that you are strong."

Xiang Kun was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized that the temperature was already below 10°C this morning, and all the passers-by on the road were already wearing thick coats. He was the only one who went out in shorts and short sleeves.

Xiang Kun knew that if he hadn't been affected by hunger, he would have looked at the temperature outside before going out, estimated what other people were wearing, and decided what to wear. But today, one is focusing on suppressing hunger, and the other is Tang Baona and Yang Zhen'er's visit also distracted him again, so there was such a mistake.

"Because I just wanted to come out for a run." Xiang Kun made up a reason casually.

Cousin the strong man nodded and said: "Then I won't waste your time, go for a run, don't wait until you catch a cold. I'm also relieved to see you today, at least Tang Baona is still the one with personality, A girl who thinks well is not the kind of superficial woman who judges handsomeness by pure appearance."

Looking at his cousin with a strong face full of sincerity, Xiang Kun really didn't know whether to be happy or angry, and then he suddenly thought that Lao Xia was also Yang Zhen'er's cousin, so he asked, "Excuse me, what is your relationship with Xia Libing?" What is the relationship?"

The brawny cousin was stunned for a moment: "You still know my Lao Xia?" Then he nodded and said as if reacting: "Yes, I must take her to play with Yang Laosan, she is also my younger sister, cousin."

Xiang Kun also nodded: "Lao Xia, Nana, and Zhen'er, the four of us often play together."

The brawny cousin laughed: "You can actually play with my old Xia. It's rare, it's so rare. Let's get to know each other formally. I'm Xia Tianhuo." He put out his cigarette as he spoke, and stretched out his hand to Xiang Kun.

Then his cousin Xia Tianhuo got into the Land Cruiser on the side of the road and drove away.

Xiang Kun watched the car disappear at the intersection before returning to the community to change into normal clothes suitable for the temperature.

He called a private van that he had cooperated with once before to go to the farm. Xiang Kun sat in the car, but he began to feel a little anxious. Inexplicably ignited emotions.

In the car, what made Xiang Kun anxious was the van driver's talkativeness.

This buddy is really talkative, no matter whether Xiang Kun uses tactful or direct ways to tell him to stop talking, it's useless, except that he will stop for the first two minutes, and after the two minutes pass, he will talk again Speaking of it, it seems that as long as you drive, you can't stop talking.

When calling this car before, the driver was also very talkative, but Xiang Kun sometimes strikes up a conversation and sometimes doesn't, so he doesn't care too much. If necessary, he can even actively ignore the other party's voice and focus on his hearing. on other voices.

But now, Xiang Kun always felt that the driver's voice seemed to be "sticky", and it kept getting into his brain, which made him want to tear something up.

He knew that it wasn't the driver's problem, it was his own problem. Even if the driver stopped and didn't speak, maybe he would feel the sound of the engine too loud.

During the previous experiments to suppress hunger, Xiang Kun was always at home, and the environment was relatively familiar and controllable. This was the first time he was outside. Facing various noisy environments around him was indeed more difficult than when he was at home. Not a lot.

Xiang Kun kept clenching his fist, then loosening it, and clenching it again. His manic mood gave him the urge to tear something apart. He began to listen carefully to the car's tire noise and various other sounds outside the car. up to divert attention.

Now he is not only worried that he will not be able to control himself and commit some atrocities, but also that he will unknowingly use "emotional assimilation" or "mental shock" to affect the driver or other people on the surrounding roads.

Xiang Kun began to sense the items that had established an "emotional injection" connection with him, and wanted to use other people's emotions to distract himself.

Induction eight arms and eight eyes woodcarving, nothing, because it is placed in the cabinet of his house.

Sensing the calligraphy of "Teacher List", there is no feedback. It is estimated that my parents are not at home, or they have not touched the calligraphy.

Sensing the lyrics of "Someone Like Me", there is no feedback...

Just when Xiang Kun was about to sense the little yellow man and the three-piece woodcarving in Little Apple, his heart suddenly moved, and he sensed the lyrics on Xia Libing again.

Perceiving it carefully, he suddenly discovered that it wasn't that the words didn't sense other people's emotions, but that he didn't notice them before.

Xiang Kun carefully experienced this emotion, and then tried to substitute his current situation into it, trying to "transform" that emotion into his own.

Xiang Kun couldn't describe that emotion specifically, unlike emotions such as enthusiasm, sadness, excitement, fear, curiosity, joy, etc. The emotion from the lyrics was a bit close to the feeling that Little Apple recognized. ——Nothingness, and a kind of rationality close to indifference.

Xiang Kun looked at the van driver:

He held the steering wheel with his left hand, and rested his right hand on the gear lever. He was talking non-stop, obviously a little nervous, and the purpose of speaking was indeed to relieve his nervousness while driving;

This driver seems to weigh around 70KG. Normally, there should be close to 5000ml of blood in the body, even if only 1/5 is released, it is enough for drinking blood this time;

But I can't do this, once I do, I will become a murderer, a monster, and I will be wanted by the police. Even if he is not caught, he will become the kind of "monster" that Guo Tianxiang despises. I have reason, I can control my desires, I can choose what blood I want to drink and when;

My heart rate is now slightly faster than usual, and the cells in my body seem to be more "active" because of hunger, and they are "noisy" wanting to drink blood. But it doesn't have any direct impact on my physical function. The biggest impact of hunger is on emotion and spirit;

The smell in this van...should have loaded beer and fruit yesterday, as well as a pair of shoes and two pairs of socks, it stinks;

The two cars driving next to me have three-cylinder turbo engines. Judging from the sounds I heard before, they are Geely cars;

I just ran over a pit. Judging from the overall response of the chassis, the pressure of the left rear tire is low, and there is a problem with the shock absorber of the left front wheel. It is estimated that there is an oil leak.

Xiang Kun fell into a strange state, his thoughts were both chaotic and tight.

What he saw, what he heard, what he smelled, and what he thought of was completely free, but all kinds of thoughts were carried out in accordance with his rationality.

He can even "observe" his own emotions out of his own, and perceive the subtle changes in various parts of his body when he is in a state of anxiety.

This kind of extreme rational state that seemed to be emotional but not emotional did not last long, and Xiang Kun lost his perception of other emotions on that painting, and he also broke away from the state he was trying to transform into.

He could basically guess that this "like emotion" state should come from Xia Libing.

But why does it feel this way?

He didn't completely transform that emotion into his own emotion, so he didn't completely "substitute" it, and he was already in a state of indifference and rationality to the point where he could even "observe" his own original emotion. One can imagine what Xia Libing's original "emotion" would be like.

However, after this "accidental" induction, Xiang Kun managed to control his anxiety, and was no longer almost affected by the outside world.

After buying the rabbit blood and returning home, Xiang Kun started counting down to sleep after drinking the blood.

As for Xia Libing and the feeling of that painting, I have to wait until I wake up to explore.
