What It’s Like Being a Vampire

　　 Chapter 22 The Taste of Blood

　　 The quiet street that I thought had fallen into a "sleep" now, but now I walked past it, but found that there are all kinds of small conversations, TV sounds, and mobile phones in the buildings near the border. Many people have not fallen asleep.

　　 The street where I thought was empty, but now I walked up to it, but found that there were many bugs and small animals rustling moving in every corner, dark place, and ditch on both sides.

A few days ago, he needed to concentrate on listening to the sounds that could only be heard, but now it’s hard not to hear them. These sounds and smells have been integrated into his sensory "database" and become the basis for him to judge the surrounding environment. And experience.

　　 Compared with hearing, the sense of strangeness and freshness brought by smell is actually much stronger. There are many flavors, which he smelled for the first time.

　　 He wants to determine the source of these flavors, label them, and "enter" them into his "database".

　　 Every adult has his own "database" of smell and hearing, which is the so-called experience. It's like smelling a smell of rotten eggs in the crowd, knowing that someone has fart, and hearing the sound of footsteps upstairs, you can also tell whether you are wearing high heels, slippers or barefoot.

　　 And Xiangkun, after the functions of the various sensory organs have been greatly improved, he needs to "update" his "database". After that, his sensory organs can be improved to be truly effective.

　　 Xiangkun suddenly stopped, and stopped to look at the corner of the street to the east.

　　 It is 11:47 in the evening. At this time, some streets are still very lively, and some streets are almost invisible.

The area he is currently out of is a relatively deserted area. There are not many businesses and not many residents. In addition, many old houses to be demolished are empty. So after 10 o'clock in the evening, it is very There are few pedestrians, and you can only occasionally see electric cars passing by.

Xiang Kun originally intended to go there. The more quiet and dark the place is, the more sensitive his senses will be. Eliminating all kinds of city-specific, noisy and chaotic noise or odor interference, the more convenient it is for him to make targeted training.

　　 But now he hesitated, because he smelled a scent-it was blood, and it was very likely human blood.

　　 was also the incident when a young couple was attacked downstairs a few days ago. In addition, he has a much stronger sense of smell during this period, so that he can distinguish between human blood and rabbit blood and chicken blood.

　　 But now, far away, the smell of blood locked in the various smells in the air, Xiang Kun does not dare to be 100% sure that it is human blood.

　　 If it were human blood, what accident might have happened there?

　　 Now, Xiang Kun doesn't want to get into any more trouble. The previous time was because it happened downstairs at his house, right under his nose, and the victim was still someone he knew, so he couldn't remain indifferent.

but now……

　　 If you have trouble in that direction, you just need to change the direction. You don’t know what is going on there. Isn’t it a dead end?

　　Furthermore, there may not really be someone hurting and bleeding. Maybe it is because I smelled it wrong, it is not human blood? Or was it just that someone was playing and he accidentally fell and shed some blood?

　　 Thinking like this, he walked two steps in the opposite direction to Kun, but after two seconds, he sighed and hurried towards the direction of the suspected blood.

　　 He knew that with his personality, if he didn't go there to check it out today, what was going on there, this mystery would always be tangled in his mind, and it may not be possible to get rid of it for months or years. It's not because he feels guilty that he might miss the opportunity to save people, but more because of curiosity...

　　The place where the smell of blood was emitted was less than 30 meters away from Xiangkun. He rushed across the street corner and saw the figure lying in a pile of building materials garbage on the side of the street.

　　 is really a human?

　　 Xiangkun was too late to be satisfied with the accuracy of his judgment of the smell of human blood. While he took out his cell phone and dialed 110, while paying attention to the surrounding situation, he slowly approached the man who fell on the ground.

　　 But judging by Xiang Kun's sensory abilities, the murderer who stabbed is no longer nearby.

　　 After a short while, the police arrived, and then an ambulance. Xiang Kun, as the first discoverer and informant at the crime scene, was naturally left by the police for questioning.

　　 The police who just arrived at the scene simply confirmed his identity, and then asked him to wait for a while in order to see how he discovered the scene and called the police.

　　 After a while, a detective came and looked to Kun, but he was an acquaintance—it was the police officer named Chen who had dealt with the attack on the young couple downstairs before.

　　 Police Officer Chen also obviously recognized Xiang Kun, and he couldn't ignore it. After all, his characteristics were too clear.

　　 "Do you know the victim? How did you let the murderer run away?" Based on Police Officer Chen's judgment on Xiang Kun's skill, it stands to reason that even if the opponent has a weapon in his hand, Xiang Kun should be able to fight.

　　 Xiangkun hurriedly said: "I didn’t know the injured man~www.novelmtl.com~ just passing by. Hearing a little movement, I took a look..."

　　 Police Officer Chen asked: "It's so late, where are you going?"

　　 Xiangkun said, "Oh, I'm going to have some barbecue on Fuxiang Street."

　　 "Are you still living in Huawen Street? You walked all the way? Is that a bit far?" Officer Chen asked strangely.

　　 "Anyway, there is nothing to do at night, and if you don't rush for time, just walk and exercise." Xiang Kun said.

　　 Police Officer Chen nodded, and asked again. He heard the movement and found the whole process of the injured. But this time, it was much more detailed than the police asked before.

　　 In fact, Xiang Kun did not hear anything. When he smelled the blood, the murderer should have already left. Otherwise, with his hearing, it would be impossible to hear nothing.

　　 But if you don’t say that, it is really impossible to explain why he appeared here. It is really a bit remote here. He has no reason to come here. Could it be that he is going to come here to clarify?

This time, Officer Chen did not bring Xiang Kun back to the bureau to make a transcript. After questioning, he left a phone call to him, and then confessed: "In the future, you may be asked to assist in the investigation and will call you. If you If you think of anything, you can call me and tell me."

　　 Xiang Kun responded and was about to leave.

When answering the question of Officer Chen, he observed that the police next to him went to check at the ATM machine on the opposite street. With his strong hearing, he also heard the conversation between the police and knew that before the victim was attacked, As soon as I went to the ATM to withdraw money, the murderer may have been following along there.

　　 Xiangkun was planning to go back along the previous route, but after walking a few steps, he changed his mind. Suddenly he had an idea to try.
