What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Chapter 223 I Can't Sing

In response to everyone's encouragement, Xiang Kun waved his hand and said, "I can't sing, I can't find the tune, if I'm in a KTV, bar or something, I can still shout a few words along with the atmosphere, in the current environment, I can't sing of."

But Chang Bin immediately said: "It's okay, you can definitely do it! In the bar before, you didn't need a soundtrack, just sang a cappella, and now it's OK."

"Can you sing so that the whole bar applauds? I have something to ask the chef!" Xie Peng said with a smile: "You can just sing the song you sang in the bar."

Xiang Kun laughed and said: "I sang a cappella because I was afraid that if I followed the soundtrack but didn't scroll the lyrics, I wouldn't be able to get on. Hey, this is not right. I cook for you, and I have to sing for you after dinner? No way, Gentlemen, now it's your turn to show off your talent to my younger brother!"

At this time, Yang Zhen'er took the phone and turned the screen to Xiang Kun: "Look at the chef, I know you want to sing, Lao Xia has agreed to my video request, it's not easy!"

Xiang Kun looked at Yang Zhen'er's phone, and sure enough, he saw Xia Libing on the phone screen.

After looking at Xiang Kun through the screen, Xia Libing raised his right hand woodenly to greet him, but it looked like he was about to wave goodbye.

Xiang Kun really didn't want to sing at first. After all, he didn't have much talent in singing. If he didn't use "emotional assimilation", it would basically be impossible to make people feel good. It would completely destroy his image in everyone's mind.

The reason why he didn't simply refuse was that he wanted to continue the warm atmosphere that had been slowly built up during the meal just now.

Although everyone is now looking forward to listening to him sing, all kinds of incitement, all kinds of agitation, but after a meal, the cognitive model he established for the other nine people has been further improved, especially Xie Peng, Linlin, Wang Han and Qin Ping were people who had only met once or met for the first time. So soon he had a plan to naturally divert everyone's expectations, let them focus on other things, and keep them from lowering their emotions because their expectations were extinguished.

The previous few words meant that Xiang Kun was walking according to the plan he had envisioned, and was guiding everyone through dialogue, but when he saw Yang Zhen'er directly video-connecting with Lao Xia, he suddenly changed his mind.

Xiang Kun said: "How about this, the rest of you sing first to set the mood, and I'll sing again when it's almost done. Otherwise, a shy person like me won't be able to bear your attention!"

Chang Bin said with a smile: "If I said this in college, I would still believe it, but who would believe it now! Would a shy person go to the bar stage to sing by himself? And you didn't drink at that time!"

"Alcohol is not intoxicating, everyone is intoxicated,

I was stunned by the wine you drank. "Xiang Kun replied.

"Then Nana will sing a song first. Nana's singing is the most stable. In terms of singing skills, she should be the best among us. When it comes to the soundtrack, Mr. Yang... Third sister, didn't you learn the guitar before?" How many years have you learned, should you be able to play a song or two? Let's cooperate with Nana." Xie Peng said to Tang Baona and Yang Zhen'er.

Yang Zhen'er was "live-streaming" Lao Xia with her mobile phone, while glaring at Xie Peng: "What's 'Sister Yang's Third Sister'? Lao Xie, you did it on purpose, right? If you make a wrong call, I won't let you go!"

As he said that, Yang Zhen'er seemed to be remembering something, and said to Tang Baona: "Nana, you sing that song, that song 'Fade to Nowhere', you have practiced guitar for so long, it should be fine. If not To make a video for Chef Xiang, didn’t you have to make the audio of playing and singing yourself before?”

Tang Baona said with some coyness: "I'm not very familiar with the practice..."

"It's familiar!" Yang Zhen'er said, went to the room and took out a guitar, holding the guitar in one hand, and still holding the mobile phone that was "live-streaming" Lao Xia in the other hand.

This guitar was actually bought by Yang Zhener to learn, but after buying it, he fiddled with it a few times and threw it away before getting started. It was not until Tang Baona became interested that she took it over and fiddled with it, giving it a new life.

Tang Baona actually learned it before, but she just dropped it when she just started. Fortunately, she has a musical background, and she picks it up quickly. After a few months, she has mastered a few songs.

After Yang Zhen'er brought the guitar over, seeing everyone's anticipation, Tang Baona was no longer pretentious. Anyway, she actually likes to sing in front of everyone. In the past, when we went to KTV together, she was often a Maiba. Everyone's jukebox.

Seeing Tang Baona get up from the sofa to take the guitar and tune it, Xiang Kun went to the dining room to move a chair, put it next to the TV in the living room on the side of the dining room, and said, "Nana, sit here and sing."

Tang Baona smiled at him: "Thank you, but I'm taking the blame for you! Hurry up and think about what you want to sing! If you dare to give up later, have you seen my big guitar? It hurts!"

Under the expectant gazes of the nine people in the living room, whether it was because she was a little excited or shy after drinking, Tang Baona's cheeks were slightly flushed, she closed her eyes and prepared, then plucked the strings and sang slowly:

"When the night gradually falls, the surroundings are pitch black..."

Xiang Kun looked at Tang Baona intently, listened to the singing, and at the same time sensed an "emotionally injected" wood carving.

The reason why he put the chair in that position was not only because Tang Baona sat there, singing could be convenient for people sitting on the sofa in the living room and other places to listen to it, but also because the bag he brought was right there. There was a box, which contained Xiang Kun's "Christmas gift" to Tang Baona. This gift was a wood carving he made in a hurry before drinking blood, and carried out "happy" "emotional injection". I hope I can use this woodcarving to guide Tang Baona to have some happy dreams, which can be regarded as a small thank you for her hard work in editing videos for herself——Xiang Kun knows from the feedback he got from Apple that having such "happy" dreams is very beneficial to waking up. The emotions and states afterward have a positive effect.

"Emotional injection" items, if they are in direct contact with other people's bodies, or if they are close enough, Xiang Kun can sense the other person's emotions when he senses them.

However, this wood carving is now in a box, separated by a bag, and not close to the other party. If it is someone else, there is a high probability that they will not be able to sense the other party's emotions. But Tang Baona is different. Now Xiang Kun can basically judge her emotional changes only by relying on the established cognitive model. In this case, she only needs to be half a meter away from the item that Xiang Kun has established "emotional injection" Within a short time, emotions can be perceived by Xiang Kun - this has been confirmed many times before.

The reason why Xiang Kun wanted to do this was to conduct an experiment of "emotional assimilation".

Relying on the emotional perception established by the wood carvings on the side of the chair, relying on the already comprehensive cognitive model, and Tang Baona's singing voice is indeed very contagious, Xiang Kun managed to immerse herself in it before she entered the chorus. into the same emotions as hers.

"...I'm like a dragonfly walking in the water, I can't find my way back..."

Under the influence of Xiang Kun's "emotional assimilation", not only him, but the other eight people in the living room were all drawn into the same emotion.

Xiang Kun seemed to see himself turned into an elf, with a pair of wings, shuttling around in the dimly lit forest, feeling like traveling alone and exploring the unknown. This kind of loneliness is not the feeling of being cold, helpless, wronged and pitiful, but a kind of chic, casual and unrestrained freedom.

The pictures that everyone sees in their own brains are different, but the perception brought by emotions is the same.

After a song was sung, Tang Baona was a little surprised to see the devoted expressions of everyone in the living room.

Xiang Kun was the first to get rid of his emotions. He quickly observed the state of other people, looked at Xia Libing's expression on Yang Zhen'er's phone, and quickly sensed the lyrics brush given to Xia Libing Then he applauded lightly and exclaimed, "That's a great song!"

"Nana, it's great!" Yang Zhen'er clenched her fists and praised, but she couldn't help but frown and said, "But I don't know why, when I listen to songs, I can't help but imagine that I've grown a pair with the chef." Big wings, carrying the bow we gave him on his back, and then staring at the sky over a forest, ready to hunt at any time, I don’t know if I’ve seen too much of the PS picture of the chef with a bow and arrow on his back..."

"Yes, I have that feeling too. I always feel like this song was sung by Nana to Xiang Kun, as if she was singing in a castle, standing by the window, watching Xiang Kun turn into a big butterfly and fly far away To the night sky." Tang Baoting also said with a smile.

Gao Yao shook his head and whispered: "Flying away from the castle, it should be a bat, not a butterfly."

Xie Peng also laughed and said, "Butterflies and bats? Then how can you tell it's Xiang Kun? Can you still tell that it's bald? But let's not say, this song is indeed the same as Chef Xiang walking through the crowd with a bow and arrow on his back on the Internet before." The photo matched very well, after listening to Nana singing for a while, I thought of that photo."

Not only the few of them who listened to the song, but even Tang Baona, at the beginning, the target of carrying her emotions was herself, but as others said, the "protagonist" of the song and the object of carrying emotions, It seems to have turned into Xiang Kun?

Could it be that this song is really suitable for Xiang Kun?

Tang Baona couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

After getting out of his emotions, Xiang Kun, who has been observing the crowd and updating their cognitive model data, naturally knows their situation.

Of course, it's not that this song is suitable for him, but that in the process of "emotional assimilation", after he perceives Tang Baona's emotions when singing, he immerses himself in this emotion and transforms this emotion into his own, so After he substituted Tang Baona's emotions, the emotional bearing point naturally became his own.

In this way, the emotions that other people perceive when listening to the song are not directly from Tang Baona, but the "second-hand emotions" transferred to Kun.

Not only that, but after transforming Tang Baona's emotions into her own, Xiang Kun also affected Tang Baona's emotions in turn-her singing emotions were consistent, but the target of her emotions became Xiang Kun.

From this, it can also be proved that whether it is through "emotional injection" items or other people's emotions perceived by other means, as long as Xiang Kun can truly enter it and immerse himself in it, he can transform it into his own emotions. And influence others through transformed emotions.

After getting out of his emotions, Xiang Kun immediately tried to sense the calligraphy of the lyrics to see if he could sense Xia Libing's emotions, but unfortunately there was still no response. And through the video screen in Yang Zhen'er's hand, it can't be seen that Xia Libing was affected in the slightest. It can be seen that this "emotional assimilation" cannot be effective through real-time video, at least it is useless to Xia Libing.

After a lot of laughter, a group of people began to encourage Xiang Kun to sing again.

"Xiang Kun, sing the song you sang in the bar. There must be a reason why everyone in the bar applauded." Tang Baoting said curiously.

Xie Peng smiled and said, "You can sing whichever song you want, and you can also sing "People Like Me" sung by KTV last time!"

Linlin said, "Or Mao Buyi's "Sorrow"?"

"Don't! Don't worry! Any song is fine!" Yang Zhen'er exclaimed immediately, she still clearly remembered the fear of being dominated by Xiang Kun's "Sorrow" when she played cards for the first time.

"Hey? If you say that, then I'm going to get rid of my worries, so I'll sing about it!" Xiang Kun said deliberately.

Yang Zhen'er stared at him for a while, then lowered her head and said to Xia Libing on the phone: "Sister! I can't hold on later, so I will leave you and run away first. If you can't stand it, you should pinch me." If you cut off the video, cut off the video, don't be stubborn..."

Tang Baona smiled and patted her: "It's not that exaggerated!"

Xiang Kun did not sing "Sorrow" again, although he believed that if he sang it now, it would definitely not be as tragic as before.

He took the initiative to discuss with Tang Baona, and chose one of the few songs she could still play.

Xiang Kun chose "Meet Again" by Wu Bai. Tang Baona's expression was a little nervous, her eyes fixed on her strings, because compared to the one just now, she had practiced this one before and was not very familiar with it.

But when Xiang Kun took a banana to pretend to be a microphone and started singing, Tang Baona was not nervous, but followed the others while laughing and strumming the strings, because she knew that everyone would not pay attention to whether she was playing correctly or not , all the attention was on Xiang Kun.

It's not that Xiang Kun sang very well. It didn't make everyone who heard the song immersed in the same emotions as he did when he sang "Someone Like Me" and "Big Man" before - he paid attention Did not allow myself to enter the emotions, so as not to appear "emotional assimilation" again.

But before Xiang Kun decided to sing "Meet Again", he quickly built a cognitive model for the song in his mind.

Yes, not only people and things, but also a sound, a picture, a memory, and an event, as long as there are various sensory information, they can be used to build cognitive models.

It’s as if he can build a cognitive model for each dish when he’s cooking—that’s the sensory vision model, the abstract logic model, the data algorithm model, and the combination and synthesis of various other structural models, On this model, various methods can be easily derived to solve the problem in the most efficient way.

Just like this song "Meeting Again", after establishing an imperfect cognitive model through Wu Bai's singing voice in memory, the audio and MV of this song, and Xiang Kun's own fragmentary music knowledge, he Immediately, he knew how to best interpret the song with his current vocal conditions-that is, imitation.

So Xiang Kun was basically imitating the process of Wu Bai singing this song in his memory. The voice and rhythm were very close imitations, and he sang all the characteristics of the original singer's voice.

In the eyes of Chang Bin, Wang Han, Tang Baoting and others, the more similar Xiang Kun's imitation was, the more joyful it was - because the contrast with his usual self was greater.

Especially Yang Zhen'er, who laughed so hard that the phone in his hand trembled all the time, Xia Libing on the other side of the screen frowned, and couldn't help but tilt his head to one side along with the phone.

After Xiang Kun finished singing, Xie Peng immediately said: "Chef Xiang, Wubai imitates you so well, you can go to that star imitation show! The intonation feels much better than the last time I sang "Someone Like Me". The breath is also more stable, but compared to the last time, it is not as emotional. In fact, if you don’t imitate Wu Bai’s voice, singing with your own voice may be much better..."

Linlin interrupted with a smile: "Do you think you are a judge of a talent show? You are just a game painter! Your singing may not be as good as Chef Xiang!"

Xiang Kun immediately said: "I don't believe this, but I heard from Nana that Brother Xie sang with you at the middle school party! Come on, come on, now is your performance time!" He said , and stuffed the banana that served as a microphone into Xie Peng's hand.

Next, under Xiang Kun's deliberate guidance, everyone "performed" a "talent". But when Chang Bin was forced to have no choice, he still pulled Xiang Kun up to cheer him up, and told a cross talk joke about Yue Yunpeng.

Wang Han, Linlin and Xie Peng all sang well, and even Gao Yao can play a bit of Beatbox. But the most surprising thing was Yang Zhener's classmate Qin Ping, who sang "Broad Sea and Sky" with spoons, chopsticks, bowls, and water glasses. Although it was intermittent, the experience was really special.

When it was almost eleven o'clock, Xiang Kun made two new dishes and warmed up the leftovers for everyone to have supper.

During the chat, Qin Ping mentioned that she has got offers from two companies now, and she doesn't know how to choose.

Naturally, Xiang Kun would not put forward any opinions on this kind of problem, and just listen to other people's analysis. After all, the workplace situation in different fields is different.

However, when he heard that one of the companies that offered Qin Ping an offer was "Shenxing Technology", Xiang Kun became interested.
