What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Chapter 285 It's a pity

Yesterday morning, Xiang Kun suddenly asked Xia Libing about the topic of dreams, and repeatedly asked her to realize that through some channels, Xiang Kun seemed to have begun to touch her secret.

So she also planned to use a more direct strategy to observe and even test Xiang Kun.

The conversation in the car is the concrete implementation of this strategy.

Judging from Xiang Kun's reaction, her guess about her itinerary last night should be in the right direction.

But Xiang Kun didn't react in any panic or tension, nor did he make any rebuttals or explanations. When she speculated, her reaction was more of surprise and surprise.

There should be two possibilities for this.

One is that although the direction of her speculation is correct, because of the limited information, the results of the speculation are also very limited, and it is still far from "seeing through" the secret "hidden" by Xiang Kun, so he is not worried;

One is that Xiang Kun feels that even if she "peeks through" the "hidden" secrets, there is nothing left.

In comparison, she thinks the first possibility is more likely.

What did Xiang Kun do last night?

Or it can be said, what did he do these few nights in Copperstone Town? ——Xia Libing now has reason to believe that when he saw him coming back from buying breakfast early in the morning a few days ago, he didn't go for a run, but did not return all night and went to "run errands".

Is there anything that must be done alone in the middle of the night?

Looking at it like this, maybe they are going into the mountains?

It can't be that he can't eat enough to eat, so he goes to the mountains in the middle of the night to "hunt" and start a small stove, right?

Or maybe it was related to the incident of tourists falling off the cliff in Wushu Mountain Scenic Area on the day she arrived in Tongshi Town. He went to investigate this "accident" for several nights in a row? He has a habit of investigating various cases? Combined with the fact that he had caught wanted criminals on the street before, this possibility may not be impossible.

Xia Li Bing shook his head heartily, knowing too little information, he was still unable to make a definite judgment, and he could look for news related to Wu Shushan's accident later.

Her attention returned to the piece of paper in her hand, thinking about the meaning of the patterns on it.

Just as I was thinking about it, a little girl next to me who looked at her age and should still be in kindergarten exclaimed, "My sister is so amazing..."

Xia Libing glanced at her,

He found her staring at his left hand flipping coins quickly.

The little girl and her parents hurriedly pulled her back: "Don't disturb my sister." Then she smiled apologetically at Xia Libing.

After thinking about it, Xia Libing stopped flipping the coin, and smiled at her and the little girl. Of course, this smile looks much more natural than the "smile" she showed to the college student who accosted her when she just got out of the station a few days ago.

The little girl looked back at her mother, then at Xia Libing, and whispered to her mother: "My sister is so beautiful, and the paintings are also very beautiful."

Xia Libing naturally also heard this sentence, she didn't care about the little girl's praise in the first half of the sentence, but became interested in the second half, and said to her: "Are you talking about this painting?" The black circle graffiti drawn by Kun spread out in front of her.

The little girl looked at her and nodded: "Yes!"

Xia Libing asked: "What do you think looks good?"

The little girl's parents couldn't help but feel a little strange, thinking that this beautiful girl with a special temperament has a different brain circuit from ordinary people.

Ordinary girls, when they are praised by children, whether they are beautiful or beautiful in paintings, they should just say thank you and finish it. How could they ask "Where is the beauty?" Look, I am really serious about asking this question, not just dealing with children.

The little girl also looked at the piece of paper seriously and said, "It's just beautiful, like water."

water? Xia Libing was stunned for a moment, then realized immediately, knowing that what the little girl said should be water ripples. Some parts of the pattern of black circles on that piece of paper do indeed have the meaning of ripples in the water.

At this time, a little boy in the aisle from their side also got up from his seat, leaned over and said, "This one looks like a bug! There are so many big bugs! It also looks like a beard!"

"It's not like! It's not a bug!" The little girl turned her head and stared at the little boy. Obviously, they knew each other.

The little boy smiled and said, "It's just worms, big earthworms, big worms, a big lump!"

"No! It's not!"

Xia Libing stopped paying attention to the "debate" between the two children. She put the piece of paper on the black leather notebook on her lap and continued her previous thinking.

But what the two children said just now gave her some other thoughts:

Although the black circles and arcs on this piece of paper seem to have an inexplicable regularity and beauty, they must not be drawn casually, but this abstract pattern composed of simple lines and shapes is too difficult to find the corresponding meaning in reality. Disaster. It can represent many things, or nothing at all. Even if she really found out a certain pattern from these lines and deduced a certain expression, it might not be the same as what Xiang Kun thought when he drew these lines.

She also thought of the brush calligraphy of the lyrics that Xiang Kun gave her before. Xiang Kun's gift to her must not be a so-called "gift". It is fundamentally different from the wood carvings given to Nana and her cousin. There must be some reason and purpose.

Before, when she was studying the calligraphy, she first started with the song itself, but soon realized that it should not have much to do with the song, otherwise there would be no need to write the lyrics in calligraphy on such a rough-edged paper and send it over. , Just send the song on WeChat.

So she focused on the characters themselves, and even analyzed them character by character and stroke by stroke, but the useful information was still not enough.

But this time when she practiced flipping coins with Nana and Yang Zhen'er, she unexpectedly discovered a situation - the coins that Xiang Kun gave to Nana seemed a little different from ordinary coins.

She borrowed the coin from Nana before and carefully observed and compared it. On the surface, no matter in terms of appearance, weight, or material, it was no different from ordinary coins.

But as long as you use that coin to try to flip a coin, you can immediately experience the difference. It is obviously more "sticky" and more "finger-following". The movements are more relaxed and the error rate is lower.

Even if you don't flip it, just hold the coin in your hand, it will feel more fitting than ordinary coins, and the hand feels better, as if it is integrated with her palm.

At first she thought it was just some kind of illusion, a psychological hint, but after carefully experiencing it a few times, she found that it was an objective phenomenon.

Especially just before getting out of the car, looking for the coin that Xiang Kun asked for, after experiencing it, she became more and more sure of her speculation - the coin "sent" by Xiang Kun, whether it was the one for her or the one for Tang Baona, was the same. Not the same as regular coins.

Reminiscent of the coin in "Little Apple"'s hand that was given by Xiang Kun, and "Little Apple"'s proficiency in flipping coins, Xia Libing felt that Xiang Kun might have some kind of equipment that could treat these seemingly ordinary coins. The coins are "treated" in a way that is not visible to the naked eye, giving them certain properties that normal coins don't.

This characteristic gave her a better hand feeling when handling these coins.

However, she had asked Nana and Yang Zhen'er that in their hands, the so-called "lucky coin" Xiang Kun gave was not very different from other coins. It can't be flipped with ordinary coins, and it also stumbles with "lucky coins".

So that kind of characteristic should only be buffed, not endowed. It's like excellent basketball shoes, which can make people who can dunk play better and more stably, but they can't make people who can't even touch the basket can dunk directly after wearing them.

Xia Libing guessed that the action of "flipping coins" is actually a simple way to "test" these special coins.

It is very possible that in the video I watched before, the little chubby girl who used to live next door to Xiang Kun's house was able to flip the coin so skillfully and in that unique way because the coin was given by Xiang Kun.

If this is the case, what is the reason for Xiang Kun to do this?

By what method do these coins possess these characteristics?

Xia Libing then guessed, would Xiang Kun give her this "black circle graffiti", and the last brush calligraphy, are they actually the same thing as those coins?

Although it seems that there is no connection between material and type, maybe they all have certain characteristics?

Therefore, it wasn't that Xiang Kun wanted to convey some kind of message to her through the calligraphy and black circle graffiti, but the two "papers" themselves were what Xiang Kun wanted to convey.

Xia Libing put his hands together, clamped the piece of paper with black circles and arcs between his hands, clasped his palms together, and felt it carefully.

Well, it's not the same, there is no feeling that the coin that Xiang Kun sent seemed to have some kind of connection with the hand.

She put the paper on the middle finger and index finger of her right hand again, and tried to turn the paper like a book or a mouse pad. Her "skill" in turning books was also very good before.

But it still failed. The weight of the paper was too light and the inertia was too small to rotate. In the process of turning, I also didn't feel any special feeling.

Xia Libing simply covered his face with the paper again, and then blew upwards...

The mother of the little girl sitting next to her observed all kinds of weird and childish movements Xia Libing made against the piece of paper from the corner of her eye, and she became more and more sure of her judgment just now——

This young lady is really pretty, but her brain circuit is really strange.

Pity……

...

After Xiang Kun sent Lao Xia to the train station and drove back to the hotel, everyone just woke up. At this time, most of them gathered in his and Zicheng's room for breakfast.

Not only the breakfast he brought back, but also the ones You Meng and Liang Yulong just brought.

Seeing him walk in, Yang Zhen'er said strangely: "Chef Xiang, you were sleepwalking when you were climbing the mountain yesterday, why did you go for a run early in the morning?"

"I didn't go for a run, but to do something you didn't do." Xiang Kun said solemnly.

Yang Zhen'er took a bite of the burrito that You Meng had just brought, and said vaguely, "Something I didn't do? What is it?"

On the other hand, Tang Baona who was next to her suddenly came back to her senses, and slapped her forehead: "That's right! Lao Xia!"

"Old Xia? When we just came here, we passed by her room, didn't we knock on the door a few times, there was no response, he must still be sleeping..." Yang Zhen'er said strangely.

"Lao Xia's train this morning! It was agreed last night that you will give it to her! You even brought the car keys of that Corolla here..." Tang Baona said helplessly.

Yang Zhener was startled, eyes widened, then coughed, almost choked, subconsciously wanted to drink soy milk, Tang Baona hurriedly stopped her, picked up the mineral water in the hotel room and handed it to her—the soy milk was still very hot.

"Did you send Lao Xia to take the bullet train just now?" Tang Baona asked.

"That's right." Xiang Kun said with a smile, "But Lao Xia is not surprised that her cousin forgot to send her off. She is already prepared."

Tang Baona also laughed: "I should set an alarm for her."

Yang Zhen'er drank a few sips of mineral water, calmed down, and quickly took the mobile phone to the side to call Lao Xia: "Hey? My dear sister..."

After breakfast, they were ready to go to Jianzhou Airport.

Originally, they planned to let You Meng and his wife take them there again like when they came here before, but unexpectedly, the two "drivers" Ji Hang and Xu Kai yesterday were sent by Chu Xiuwen again.

Xiang Kun didn't refuse, it just saved You Meng and his wife the time and energy of going back and forth to the airport.

"Old Ji, we meet again." After sitting in the passenger seat of the MPV, Xiang Kun greeted Ji Hang who was driving with a smile.

"Mr. Xiang, I am very glad to serve you again." Ji Hang smiled honestly as always.

On the way to the airport this time, Ji Hang no longer tried to guide Xiang Kun's conversation through various topics to find out his information. Instead, he took the initiative to introduce the security company he opened, Chu Xiuwen's help to him, and so on.

After arriving at the airport, they even left a business card of their company for Xiang Kun, Zhang Qian, Zicheng, Tang Baona and others.

After sending the people there, Ji Hang and Xu Kai drove two MPVs back to Tongshi Town, back to Chu Xiuwen's big house.

At this time, Liu Feibao was also here. After seeing the two people coming in, he immediately asked, "Have you sent Mr. Xiang and the others?"

"Mr. Xiang and the others have already boarded the plane, and the flight should be triggered at this time." Ji Hang said, he could see that Liu Feibao was slightly relieved.

Yesterday, when he volunteered to take Xu Kai to work as a driver for that "Mr. Xiang", Ji Hang originally thought that he was going to expose the liar - judging from Liu Feibao's narration, he and his friend should have encountered a liar or He is a braggart.

Of course, he also promised Liu Feibao that even if he saw the background of "Mr. Xiang", he would never attack him on the spot and would not let the other party know.

But after working as a driver for Xiang Kun and his friends for a day yesterday, Ji Hang returned to Chu Xiuwen and Liu Feibao, but found that he couldn't draw a conclusion.

According to his observation and communication with Xiang Kun, Xiang Kun must not be from the same background as them, and he should not have undergone their training.

But Xiang Kun gave him a very dangerous intuition, which made him feel a sense of fear that could not be directly described.

This feeling rarely appeared, but previous experience proved that every time he believed in this intuition, it was the right choice, and even saved his life.

This kind of intuition is hard to describe, it seems to be an unreasonable first reaction, and this kind of reaction often even goes against objective common sense or superficial facts.

To use an analogy, if there are two people in front of you, one is Mike Tyson, a 20-year-old boxing champion, and the other is Xiang Kun, and you have to choose one person to fight with bare hands to survive, then choose rationally, 100% or even 1000% To choose Xiang Kun.

But his intuition told him to "avoid Xiang Kun".

And judging from his chat with Xiang Kun, Xiang Kun was very "frank" about his background, and didn't have any hints like "I have a big background", only saying that he is a freelancer in the Internet and software development industry , and the "personal settings" such as "secret figures with official backgrounds" mentioned by Liu Feibao are completely inconsistent.

So after they came back yesterday, they didn't immediately answer Liu Feibao and Chu Xiuwen's questions, and didn't immediately state his judgment on Xiang Kun. Instead, they asked carefully about Liu Feibao's previous car accident with Xiang Kun and the others.

So Liu Feibao concealed Qi Haoguo's name and identity, and briefly described the situation after they rear-ended with Xiang Kun's car.

But he didn't talk about Qi Haoguo's explanation, nor did he talk about the "warning" he got when he asked Qin Dong about Xiang Kun, so after listening to it, Ji Hang was even more confused and couldn't understand it at all.

According to Liu Feibao, Xiang Kun simply said, "Either pay 3,000 to repair the car privately, or report to the traffic police and insurance to deal with it." There was nothing strange about it, nor did he show any background and Intimidation from the backstage, you can't say that the other party has an official background when they say they want to call the police, right?

Just because the "big boss" in Liu Feibao's car was afraid of Xiang Kun?

As a result, Ji Hang didn't know how to explain his judgment to Liu Feibao and Chu Xiuwen.

In the end, there was only one sentence: "Mr. Xiang is a nice person, and I can't tell the rest for the time being."

Liu Feibao and Chu Xiuwen naturally understood the meaning of such ambiguous words:

Even Ji Hang couldn't see through Xiang Kun's background and strength.

So Liu Feibao and Chu Xiuwen believed in the previous guesses even more, although these guesses still did not have a clear result.

But anyway, they reached a consensus:

Looking back at Xiang Kun, Liu Caifu, and You Meng's project in Tongshi Town, they will help as much as they can, and if they have the opportunity to participate, they will try to participate.

So today, Ji Hang simply asked Ji Hang to send Xiang Kun and the others to the airport to show their friendship again, and at the same time, Ji Hang had more time to observe Xiang Kun.

But the result is still the same as yesterday:

"Mr. Ji... is quite easy to talk to."
