What It’s Like Being a Vampire

The passenger plane was flying smoothly in the air. Some passengers in the cabin were talking in low voices, some were resting with their eyes closed, and some were using electronic devices such as tablet computers and laptop computers.

Xiang Kun, who was sitting near the aisle, was covered with a blanket and tilted his head, looking as if he was sleeping.

On his right, sitting in the middle is Yang Zhen'er, and Tang Baona is sitting by the window. At this time, the two are plugging in earphones together and watching the video made by Yang Zhuo through the tablet.

And Yang Zhuo and his girlfriend Xiao Min, sitting in the front row of Xiang Kun and the others, next to the two of them, was chatting with them about the interesting things that happened when they went to Zaitong City with Chang Bin many years ago to find Xiang Kun. .

Across the aisle from the three of them were Zhang Qian and Yang Jie.

Zhang Qian was lying on her side, sleeping with her head on her friend's shoulder, while Yang Jie was reading a book with her Kindle helplessly.

Naturally, they were all invited by Xiang Kunzhi to go to Tongshi Town together. Originally, he only planned to take Yang Zhuo and his girlfriend, who had already had winter vacation, together to study how to shoot the next video. As a result, after Tang Baona knew about it, she said that their company's accounts had been completed and they could start the vacation, and then asked very tactfully, "Can we go play together", so he had to say "Yes".

Tang Baona is going, and Yang Zhener will go with her when she finds out. The accounting firm is mainly responsible for the financial work of their company at the end of the year, and she is not missing.

After Zicheng attended the wedding, he never went back, so naturally he "by the way" went to play together.

Yang Jie was pulled together by Zhang Qian.

Naturally, Xiang Kun wasn't really asleep at this time. He was entering the "super sensory state" that temporarily eliminated his normal sensory abilities, and used that special sensory mode to "wander" in the cabin.

After drinking blood this time, he felt that his perception clarity in the "super sensory state" had improved again, and the amount of information he could find had also increased considerably. The limit time for entering the "super sensory state" once, Also a lot longer.

He entered the "super sensory state" at this time, not for any purposeful investigation, but for any direct information. His own senses of hearing and smell are enough for him to perceive the situation on the plane. , the information obtained is much more "direct" and clear than the "super sensory state".

Mainly in the environment of "cruising and flying plane", he enters the "super sensory state", which can be less affected and disturbed by various phonemes around him, and limits the perception area to this plane. There is a The clear "boundary" and the fact that the people or objects in the space area will not change significantly in a short period of time make it easier for him to compare several sensory information after leaving the "supersensory state".

In the "super sensory state", Xiang Kun focused on observing the changes in the two special sensory information concentration areas around him, because he knew very well that these two information concentration areas actually represented Yang Zhener and Tang Baona, and Mainly changes in the brain.

He switched multiple perception ranges. In this range, the information change feedback of the tablet computer in their hands and other surrounding electronic devices is the smallest, while their own information change feedback is the largest.

Sensing, distinguishing, and analyzing the changing information carefully, and comparing it with similar sensory information previously perceived in the "super sensory state" in memory, Xiang Kun guessed:

Perhaps these are some manifestations of brain activity?

Xiang Kun found that he couldn't know what Yang Zhen'er and Tang Baona were thinking from the changes in the perceptual information, but he could understand the mood of the two of them at this time in his heart. Obviously, the video they were watching made them feel A very happy mood.

Xiang Kun was thinking that his ability to perceive the emotions of nearby people through "emotional injection" items may be based on the interpretation of these information.

On weekdays, he uses that ability to sense other people's emotions, like a user of an app.

Now, facing this information directly is like looking at the binary code, and even going one step further into the microscopic world to see how the internal transistors of CPUs and other integrated circuits work.

Xiang Kun's consciousness kept "wandering" throughout the plane, leaving the "super sensory state" from time to time, resting for a while, and then re-entering. Use the reference of certain things in the two states to anchor the orientation, and clearly know the source of the information you perceive in the normal state.

Obviously, dead things are much easier to "understand" than living things.

Just like this Boeing 737, on the premise that he has already checked a lot of information in advance and observed it deliberately with normal senses, after entering the "super-sensing state", he can find out the working status of each electronic component, vortex The working status of the fan engine can even be completely undisturbed, and can be "observed" at an extremely microscopic level.

After being able to know the specific meaning of the information he perceives, Xiang Kun in the "super sensory state" can easily have a very clear and detailed understanding of the working conditions of a piece of equipment.

This feeling will still exist after leaving the "super sensory state", which is a bit similar to the kind of understanding between him and the item that has established a "super sensory connection" before.

Of course, in terms of degree, there must be a big difference.

He feels that this may also be the actual realization method and principle of "supersensory connection". When observing the items that have established a "super sensory connection" in the "super sensory state", the information feedback also verified this guess to a certain extent from the side.

However, this does not mean that he can directly learn to fly this plane faster than all pilots after a pass of perception through the "super sensory state". After all, flying a plane is not the same thing as tossing coins or paper airplanes.

After feeling that the exhausted speed of recovering from the "super sensory state" had slowed down a lot, Xiang Kun stopped this kind of perception judgment.

However, he did not open his eyes to "wake up", but to perceive the twelve wood carvings of minions that he placed in the luggage rack above and in the suitcase.

According to the normal situation, he could only sense one minion woodcarving at the same time.

And with the heavy barriers and distances between the wood carving and the people around it, it is impossible to give him any feedback, let alone affect other people through the wood carving itself.

But after drinking blood this time, after Xiang Kun clearly felt that his abilities in some aspects had been greatly improved, he took the initiative to guide Little Apple through WeChat to use the method of "sensing objects" through the little yellow man in her hand. Using the wood carving as a springboard, he sensed that Xiang Kun's twelve little yellow men had established a connection with the "eight arms and eight eyes wood carving".

In the past, Xiang Kun could only sense one "emotional infusion" item at the same time, so his "Twelve Yellow Man Formation" had never been really used since its birth.

And now, he can sense all the "emotional injection" items that Little Apple has established a connection with at the same time.

Because these items, compared with before, have a certain "subjective initiative" and have the attribute of actively "catering".

It's like, Xiang Kun used to push a trolley, which was full of all kinds of items that belonged to him. When he needed it, because he had to hold the trolley with one hand, he could only use one hand to take things, so he could only take things at a time. One piece, you can only take another piece after you put down one piece.

But later, a shopping basket was put in the trolley. After he put things in the shopping basket, he could lift several things directly by lifting the shopping basket.

Little Apple seems to give these "emotional injection" items, on the basis of the original, a layer of special connection between them has been established.

So now, he can simultaneously sense the twelve minion woodcarvings that are "emotionally injected" with "joy" emotions.

As expected, even though he was on the luggage rack at this time, even if he was put in the suitcase, Xiang Kun still felt very clear emotional feedback, and it was multiple at the same time.

Xiang Kun carefully perceived these emotions, trying to distinguish the emotions of people he knew and was familiar with.

Judging from the closest range of the "Twelve Yellow Men", except for Zhang Qian and Yang Jie, all other friends on the same plane are within the range.

Then he suddenly discovered that the different emotions he felt at the same time were rapidly assimilating, gradually transforming into the same type of emotion—becoming joyful.

Zi Chenglai in the front row was talking about how he and Xiang Kun went to hand out leaflets and got cheated by others during their sophomore summer vacation. He was a little angrily speaking, and Yang Zhuo and his girlfriend Xiao Min who were listening were also filled with righteous indignation, but the next moment, Zicheng couldn't help but laugh.

"Damn! At that time, we two were good sabbis. The guy told us a dime, and we thought it was a dime, but when we came back to check out after the payment, he gave us a dime, and then said It's a stack of ten cents, and the extra twenty cents is for our hard work... Hahahahaha."

"You guys are too easy to deceive, hahahaha!" Yang Zhuo also laughed.

"Why don't you just call the police, they are fraudulent!" Xiao Min said with a smile.

"We dare not."

"why?"

"Because we skipped class to distribute leaflets, hahahaha."

"How many years will you be sentenced for skipping classes? Hahahaha."

"The leaflet shop closed down within half a month after it opened. It should be cursed by me and Xiang Kun, hahahaha."

"Hahahaha, I laughed so hard, you guys are so funny."

The laughter of a few people made Xiang Kun inexplicably feel that the temperature in the cabin had dropped?

But through the "Twelve Yellow Men", it can be clearly perceived that those emotions are being assimilated obviously. Even Yang Zhen'er and Tang Baona, who already had similar emotions while watching a funny video together, couldn't help giggling, and the same type of emotion was greatly strengthened.

Apparently, after two months of being "late", his original idea was finally realized perfectly.

"Emotion injection" items of the same type of emotion, after being "activated" at the same time, can indeed spread that emotion and affect people within a certain range.

In the process, Xiang Kun could clearly perceive the changes in the emotions of these people through those items, but his own emotions would not be affected.

This is equivalent to a weakened version of "emotional assimilation", but most importantly, this is a controllable "emotional assimilation" that he himself can not be affected.

After the induction stopped, the emotions of the surrounding people gradually returned to normal. However, the previous joyful emotions still have residual influence, and their emotional development direction is still joyful.

Xiang Kun couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although he is the foundation and source of these abilities, the "development efficiency" of Little Apple is really beyond his expectations.

Correspondingly, earlier today, through induction, he also discovered the ability "developed" by the little chubby girl Liu Shiling far away in Star City.

The ability of the little fat girl is naturally his ability, because it needs to be realized by him. Therefore, now he can also remotely affect the items that he has established a "supersensory connection" within a certain range and to a certain extent. He can control the coin to walk around against his skin, and he can hold the coin at a distance of five or six centimeters. When it is sucked into the body, when the ball is ejected with a slingshot, the initial velocity of the ball can be increased to a certain extent.

The two girls, one big and one small, have greatly supplemented and improved Xiang Kun's ability system.

They are like two excellent developers, swaying their talents on the system and platform provided by Xiang Kun.

And they themselves don't even have any basic understanding of Xiang Kun's real ability, and they all rely on their own cognition to construct it.

Xiang Kun guessed that maybe it was because they knew so little that they could design freely. According to their cognitive system, use their known functions to "develop".

As for himself, it is precisely because he has been in contact with too low-level, and it affects his whole body, so every time he develops new abilities and is compatible with new abilities, it takes so much time and effort.

Of course, with the same ability, he should use it much stronger, with much greater power, and with much more directness.

In the future, maybe you can refer to the successful experience of guiding Little Apple to contact the "Twelve Yellow People" this time, guide them through some skills, put forward "functional requirements" for them, and then let them help you complete some complex abilities. design" and perfection.

However, these abilities must first be established on the two connection items of "super sensory connection" and "emotional injection", otherwise, there is no way to establish contact with them and allow them to participate.

"Chef Xiang, it's dawn! We're almost there!" Yang Zhener suddenly patted him on the shoulder and said beside him.

Tang Baona also smiled and said: "It seems that you are very tired to help Sister Han and Brother Bin with this wedding?"

Xiang Kun slowly opened his eyes, stretched his waist, and was about to pretend that he had just woken up, when he suddenly sensed something, and suddenly turned his head to look at the porthole that had just opened the sun visor.

Because his movements were a bit big, both Yang Zhener and Tang Baona were taken aback and leaned back slightly.

Tang Baona thought he was looking at her, and looked at her with wide eyes and doubts for a while, then suddenly realized that his line of sight was outside the window next to her, so she turned her head and followed his line of sight, but found nothing special.

"Chef Xiang, what are you looking at? So excited?" Yang Zhen'er couldn't help asking.

Xiang Kun withdrew his gaze, relaxed his body again, and said with a smile, "It's nothing, I just saw a big bird flying by."

Zicheng, who was telling a joke in the front row just now, heard this, turned around and smiled through the gap in the seat: "Xiang Kun's words remind me of a joke..."

Yang Zhuo and Xiao Min next to him, and Xiang Kun, Tang Baona, and Yang Zhen'er in the back row all cast their eyes on him, waiting for his jokes.

But after waiting for a few seconds, Zicheng opened his mouth and the fat on his cheeks trembled, but he didn't say a word.

"Old Liu, where's your joke?" Yang Zhen'er asked wonderingly.

"I forgot again." After Zicheng finished speaking, he retracted his head.

"Don't tell me this is actually your joke..." Yang Zhen'er said suspiciously.

But Zicheng didn't respond, as if he hadn't said anything just now.

Xiang Kun grinned, because he knew what kind of joke Zicheng "thought", it was a bit of a joke, and this guy probably realized that three out of five of the "audience" were about to tell it. A girl, so she stepped on the brakes urgently, holding back her stomach.

Arriving in the sky above Jianzhou Airport, the plane lowered its landing gear and prepared to land.

Xiang Kun looked at the sky outside the porthole, thoughtful.
