   Chapter 20 Hearing and smell

   Xiangkun looked at the video in a daze, and he found that there were other angles of video in the highlighted reply, but it was relatively not so clear. Obviously, not only one person took the video at that time.

   He even saw the video taken by the surveillance camera. I don’t know if it was uploaded by the grocery store owner.

   Xiangkun is a little big head. After returning the phone to the reporter, he still has an excuse to do something, and hurriedly left home.

After walking on the street for a while, Xiang Kun felt that it was not a big deal. When he stopped the murderer, he did not show any ability to surpass ordinary people. As long as he insisted on not accepting interviews, showing his face, and keeping Low-key, when this matter passes, no one will pay attention to him anymore.

   After all, netizens are only concerned about this incident.

   Xiangkun went to the most prosperous area in the city, then found a roadside beverage shop, bought a drink, half-squinted, sitting at the door, seeming to be dozing off.

   But in fact, he is paying attention to hearing.

Behind you, the voice of the clerk in the beverage store, the voice of customers ordering, the footsteps and voices of pedestrians outside, the sound of cars and horns on the road further away, the sound of broadcasts and music from nearby shopping malls, etc. The various voices were distinguished one by one in Xiang Kun's mind.

   Then he locked on one of the sounds and began to concentrate on "capture".

   For example, when I hear a certain footstep, I keep following the footstep, feeling its movement and orientation, calculating the distance to myself, the material of the sole, etc., until the sound is far away and I can’t hear it again.

   In this way, Xiang Kun relies on hearing to "construct" the surrounding situation in his consciousness.

   After the last time he drank blood, Xiang Kun discovered that his hearing had improved significantly, and it was better than ordinary people.

After the third blood drink, Xiang Kun adjusted his training plan, reduced the proportion of strength training, increased physical agility and balance training, especially targeted training for the senses such as vision, hearing, and smell. Made a lot of plans.

   Xiangkun sat at the entrance of the beverage store from around ten in the morning to around five in the afternoon. He hadn't opened his eyes or moved his butt. The people in the beverage shop probably thought he was asleep.

At 5:15 in the afternoon, Xiang Kun opened his eyes, stretched his waist, as if he really slept, then got up and left the beverage shop, and threw the cup of milk tea directly into the trash can—actually he Did not drink a bite.

   Xiangkun did not go home, but continued to train for hearing.

   He walked on the street, looking for various sound sources at random to track down.

   Sometimes when I see someone talking or making a call from a distance, I slowly approach and shorten the distance until I can vaguely hear the conversation of the other person, and then increase the distance to continuously increase the maximum distance that I can hear.

  Sometimes it is to randomly lock one of a bunch of sounds, and then to find the source of the sound, such as one of a bunch of footsteps, such as dog barking that is out of sight, such as a mobile phone ringing from nowhere.

   is sometimes centered on a fixed and continuous sound source, such as the broadcast of a certain shopping mall, the music of a certain clothing store, or even the sound of some machines, slowly moving away.

   For hearing training, Xiang Kun’s method is to listen more, distinguish more, find and exercise the limits of hearing.

   In the next few days, I spent almost ten hours walking around the street every day, listening to various types of sounds, and conducting auditory training.

   Xiangkun found that the training effect at night is much better than during the day.

   Not only is the body function stronger at night, the mental state is better, and the hearing sense is more sensitive, but also the noise at night is much less and relatively quieter. For him at this stage, training is easier.

   So Xiang Kun still goes to the gym to exercise during the day, and wanders around the street at night, searching for various sounds at random.

As a result, I heard a lot of sounds that I didn’t expect before, such as the sounds of various insects and crawling in the grass and in the ditch, such as the gnawing sound of mice, and the various materials in various buildings due to thermal expansion. Shrinking or other vibrations, such as different sounds when the wind blows through streets and roads of different structures, and some very subtle sounds, he can't even find the specific source.

   In addition to hearing, Xiang Kun also conducts olfactory training. Like hearing training, he also distinguishes and tracks various smells.

Although the sense of smell and hearing are both trained on the street, they are separated during training, because at this stage, if you listen and smell at the same time, the two senses cannot fully concentrate and interfere with each other. .

   So when he first started training his sense of smell, he would find a place to sit down, close his eyes, put on earplugs, and block the two main senses, and only use his nose to perceive the surroundings and distinguish the various taste sources in the surrounding smell.

   Compared with the sound, the smell is actually more difficult to distinguish and difficult to train. In many cases, a strong odor will suppress other odors, and after a period of time in an environment, the nose adapts to the surrounding odors, and the sensitivity of smell to odors will also decrease.

   So sometimes, he even deliberately chooses places that have bigger and more complicated flavors, such as garbage dumps, stinky drains, stinky ponds, or food courts, snack streets, etc. for training.

   On the evening of July 30, Xiang Kun did not go out after returning from the gym. UU reading www. uukanshu.com because he felt hunger again.

   It is almost six days since the last blood drink, which is almost the same as the last time the statistics were made.

   This time, Xiang Kun did not conduct the endurance test again. After feeling hungry, he processed the remaining meat rabbit at home and drank about 165ml of rabbit blood.

   Then came sleepy, Xiang Kun picked up the phone and set an alarm, which rang 23 hours later.

   He wants to see if he can be awakened by the noise during his deep sleep.

The reason why    is set after 23 hours, I still worry that if I get up too early and lack of sleep, I don’t know if it will have any excessive impact on the body.

   The alarm duration is set to 1 minute and repeated 3 times.

  ……

When Xiang Kun opened his eyes again, he was stunned for a moment while lying on the bed, vaguely feeling that the world seemed to be a little different, but after lying down for a few minutes and thinking for a while, he didn't think of the difference. .

   sat up from the bed, picked up the phone and took a look. As expected, he was not awakened by the alarm. It seems that during the sleepy period after drinking blood, the sound of the alarm cannot wake him up.

   I just don’t know, if you make physical contact, will you wake up? How much physical contact is needed?

   As for the time of this deep sleep, 25 hours and 27 minutes, it is still within the previous statistical range, and there is no change.

   Xiangkun suddenly felt that the room was a bit noisy, and he could even hear the chattering and bragging sounds of people drinking at the roadside stall outside, thinking that he had forgotten to close the window before going to bed, but when he walked over, he found that the window was closed properly.

   Xiang Kun was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized that it was not that the noise outside had become louder, but that his hearing had become stronger.
