What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Xiang Kun didn't return to the place where he kept his schoolbag until noon the next day.

After finding his schoolbag, he didn't immediately go to pick up his phone and turn it on. Although he felt that after walking for so long, the energy around his body should have completely dissipated, but just to be on the safe side, he had to wait a while, because he really didn't want to change his phone again. up.

Putting on the replacement clothes, putting on the shoes and socks again, and packing the changed dirty and torn clothes back into the bag, Xiang Kun put on a cotton cap, carried the bag on his back and continued to walk out of the mountain, looking like a tourist. appearance.

It wasn't until the afternoon when he got on the bus back to his city that Xiang Kun took out his phone from his bag and turned it on to check the messages on WeChat.

During the two days when he entered the mountain, Little Apple sent him a few voice messages, saying that her "parasitic object perception" practice seemed to have made great progress, and there seemed to be a certain relationship between her and the minion wood carving. A connection through which something can be perceived.

Looking at the time when those messages were sent, it was before Xiang Kun started to try to fly and triggered a severe thunderstorm, so it further proved that the connection between Little Apple and Liu Shiling and those items was strengthened. The most important reason was that after he drank blood this time variation evolution.

Mutation evolution is equivalent to the hardware upgrade of his service server, which strengthens certain functions. And some phenomena that happened during the flight may mean that all users are temporarily given more bandwidth, so not only can they greatly improve the control and sensing of connected items, Xiang Kun can also obtain more information in reverse, Even got induction directly from them.

Xiang Kun thought for a while, took the initiative to call Little Apple, found an excuse to explain to her why he didn't reply to WeChat before, and then "by the way" mentioned the "sent item" that Little Apple mentioned in WeChat. Perception" issues.

But on the phone, Little Apple didn't mention anything unusual last night.

Xiang Kun's first reaction was that the induction between Little Apple and those "emotional infusion" items happened in her sleep, so she thought that what she sensed was all the "dream" part. But from her voice, she could hear the feeling that she was hiding something, and she hesitated to speak.

After hanging up the phone, Xiang Kun didn't ask or probe on WeChat. He guessed that there were other people around Little Apple who were not suitable for talking, or he had some concerns and didn't want to directly tell what happened last night.

Sure enough, after 20 minutes, a notification tone sounded on WeChat, and it turned out that it was a voice message from Apple.

Little Apple's voice was breathy, and she seemed a bit sneaky: "Uncle Xiang, I was at home just now, and my Aunt Yang was by my side, so I had some things to say. people chatting,

Can't hear me. "

"Uncle Xiang, I had some very strange dreams last night..."

Little Apple sent more than a dozen voice messages in a row, telling Xiang Kun about the strange dreams she had last night, describing the special perception in the dream that was different from the past, and after waking up from the dream, she had a strong love for the minion woodcarving. Inducted, and through the little yellow man, established a connection with the CPU woodcarving, and also contacted a weird and strange existence from afar.

Other people might not be able to understand some of Apple's language descriptions of the dream, such as those grotesque and weird-looking scenes, and the monster with many arms that she has substituted is being chased by others, etc.

But Xiang Kun could understand what she meant right away, because the dreams she experienced were originally the images and perceptions in Xiang Kun's mind when he "injected emotions" during the process of making those wood carvings.

Moreover, he has perceived Little Apple's dreams more than once, using her emotions and perceptions to experience various experiences.

So he can also understand why the pictures that Little Apple "sees" are very weird. On the one hand, it is the memories or imaginary pictures that are poured into the wood carvings with emotions. Others will definitely lack many details when they perceive and substitute. ;

On the other hand, Little Apple is born blind, and the development of vision-related nerves in the brain will be different from those of people with intact vision. In the dream, even if it is substituted into Xiang Kun's memory, what she "sees" will definitely deviate from the "normal" picture she understands.

Xiang Kun paid more attention to two points:

One is that in Little Apple's first dream, he heard thunder and felt that he was in a thunderstorm, and then started three "dream" journeys.

Second, in addition to the few wood carvings that Xiang Kun gave her, Little Apple also sensed the eight-armed and eight-eyed wood carving in the cabinet of Xiang Kun's house. Whether it was the "dream" or the later perception, it was obviously related to it. associated.

Obviously, just like Xiang Kun's previous understanding, after the lightning storm was triggered, Little Apple established a deep connection with Xiang Kun's many "emotional injection" items for a period of time.

The perception and cognition that she feedbacks when contacting these items can be said to be a function "developed" based on her special cognitive mode, based on the characteristics of those special items and Xiang Kun's ability.

As a "platform" that provides all capabilities, Xiang Kun naturally and directly obtained these functions.

The reason why Little Apple sensed the eight-armed and eight-eyed wood carving instead of other "emotional injection" items should be just random, and it doesn't seem to have any special mechanism.

Given her more time, it should be possible to bond with more "mood infused" items.

However, when describing how he felt the eight-armed and eight-eyed wood carving after waking up, Xiang Kun couldn't help but smile bitterly at Little Apple's words.

In Little Apple's perception, she didn't realize that what she sensed was a wooden sculpture similar to the little yellow man in her hand, but thought that what she sensed was a real "monster with eight arms and eight eyes", just like she was in a dream. It is the same as the monster substituted in.

So in the speculation she secretly told Xiang Kun through wechat, she thought: that monster was trapped somewhere and lost its freedom. So in some way, it caused her to have that dream, which was to "seek help" from her.

Little Apple felt that the way the monster contacted her and entered the dream was the "parasitic perception" that Xiang Kun taught her. This kind of practice may have opened a channel to connect with the monster to some extent.

At the end, Little Apple asked Xiang Kun: "Uncle Xiang, do you think what I saw later was an 'illusion'?"

Um……

How to answer this question?

Judging from Little Apple's description, strictly speaking, the monster with eight arms and eight eyes who was chased around in the dream and was full of fear and panic was actually Xiang Kun!

But what happened in those dreams is actually not even a memory, it's just a fantasy based on emotions.

Xiang Kun actually understood Little Apple's guess quite well. After all, her perception of the eight-armed and eight-eyed wood carving first came from the feeling in the dream.

So when she woke up and perceived the wood carving in the distance, the perception similar to that in the dream directly projected the cognition and image in the dream to her, as if it was really a living monster.

Xiang Kun originally wanted to correct Little Apple's misunderstanding and guide her to the truth. But after thinking about it, the reason why Little Apple was able to "develop" the new functions of "emotional injection" items was that, like Liu Shiling, she had a relatively self-contained cognitive system that was different from Xiang Kun's for these items.

The cognitive system is a tool to a certain extent, as long as it is usable and easy to use, whether it is exactly the same as the facts does not necessarily have an impact.

However, Xiang Kun still reminded: "In the future, if you have such a feeling, you should pay attention to the changes in your emotions. If you feel that the negative emotions are too heavy, you should stop in time so as not to be affected. That monster with many arms, Even if it does exist, it may not be a good thing. If there is such an abnormal world, there must be other creatures that can connect with people through this mode. You can try to see if you can establish a new connection, which is also possible It is used to prove whether the multi-armed monster is an illusion. If you have any difficulties or questions, you can contact me at any time."

Little Apple itself can use "emotional injection" items to enhance her own emotions, and now she can establish connections with other "emotional injection" items at certain times, and perceive the emotions injected into the items.

If it's just the few pieces that Xiang Kun gave her, it's okay. If it's not happy, happy, focused, interested, it won't have any negative effects.

But other "emotional injection" items, especially the "eight arms and eight eyes wood carving", are the "products" of fear. If she is affected by the emotional feedback of the wood carving and strengthened, it must be psychologically harmful to her. Bad experience.

Little Apple was also very happy that Xiang Kun didn't laugh at his childish and absurd views, but seriously discussed and gave opinions, and the voice of the reply sounded very brisk: "Okay, then I will ask for advice later when I have any questions." To Uncle."

After finishing chatting with Little Apple, Xiang Kun was thinking about how he could regain the state he was in last night without triggering a lightning storm or flying. When he sensed the special connection between Little Apple and Liu Shiling, he suddenly felt alert , stood up from the seat abruptly, and looked towards the front of the bus.

Just now, most of Xiang Kun's attention was on chatting with Little Apple, and he was also thinking a lot about his own abilities, but he already instinctively collected information about the surrounding environment, and he had a premonition through the many details of the sounds outside the car. Danger.

Sure enough, in the next moment, the bus driver saw a small car that was out of control and broke through the barrier from the opposite lane and rushed into their lane. In a panic, he instinctively swung the steering wheel to dodge, but the speed was too fast, and the bus suddenly slammed into the lane. In the process of moving, it began to roll over.

When he saw the pair of Xiang cars breaking through the barrier, Xiang Kun entered a state of extreme concentration. Based on various information, his brain quickly calculated and deduced multiple possibilities.

The moment the driver stepped on the brakes, Xiang Kun knew that the bus would overturn, but he had no time to do anything to stop it.

Scanning the interior of the bus, you can see the situation of all the passengers. The brain deduces various situations at high speed, and then formulates a variety of plans for him to avoid, borrow, unload, avoid collisions, and reduce injuries in the car.

With his reaction speed, physical strength, coordination, and the situation he has foreseen in advance, there shouldn't be any problem in trying to minimize the damage.

What's more, he still has super recovery ability, basically there is nothing to worry about.

But Xiang Kun glanced at the other passengers in the car, and couldn't help but ask himself:

What about them?

What will happen to them in this car accident?

So Xiang Kun's brain began to quickly deduce what would happen to the other passengers when the bus started to roll over.

Although Xiang Kun did a lot of so-called "heroic" things by mistake, he stopped the murderer, captured the wanted criminal, captured the trafficker and so on. But from the bottom of his heart, he is not a person who likes to play a "hero", so after a little mutation in his body and the evolution of various abilities, he never thought about learning from a superhero to represent justice and punish evil.

Because he doesn't think that will really bring justice, and he is not a "hero" who can sacrifice himself for others.

But just like when he met a murderer, encountered a wanted criminal, and smashed a human trafficker before, when things happened before his eyes and he was capable, he couldn't stand on the sidelines and tell himself "it's none of my business." ".

Everything in front of him seemed to be slowed down, and everything was going extremely slowly. This was because his brain was running to the extreme, and his consciousness was constantly calculating and deducing, relying on the previous information to build one cognition after another. Model. Because of his super dynamic vision, he can also accurately see the changes of all elements in the car.

From the perspective of vision and consciousness, Xiang Kun has plenty of time. He can make very detailed plans and plans to help other people and reduce their injuries from car accidents.

But the problem is that Xiang Kun's body is stronger than ordinary people, but it's not The Flash, nor Kuaiyin, Superman. Even if he starts to make moves immediately, he can't do anything too complicated when the rollover comes. Action, he only has one person, and the number of people he can save is limited.

Then who to save?

Through deduction, he can roughly guess which ones will be the most seriously injured. If there is someone he knows in the car, it goes without saying that he will definitely choose someone he knows. If there are several people he knows, he will definitely choose the person with the closest relationship. Selfishness is human nature, and he is not a saint.

But at this moment, everyone in the carriage has never met him before, so who should he save?

When the bus braked suddenly, turned sideways, and started to roll over, Xiang Kun had already made a decision. He leaned against the wall of the bus with great inertia, and when he turned over, he opened his arms to hug the falling from the side. The little boy took advantage of the situation to turn around, using his own body as a collision barrier, buffering the collision damage and creating a space for the little boy to prevent him from being crushed by other passengers and objects.

From the oncoming vehicle losing control and breaking through the barrier, to the bus braking, to the rollover, to the stop displacement, everything happened in just a few seconds.

Most of the passengers didn't realize what happened at all. When they came back to their senses, they were already unable to move or even lost consciousness.
