What It’s Like Being a Vampire

"The point is..." Li Peiye said in that mysterious tone again: "The two 'car thieves' who surrendered also told the police that they also saw strange things in the abandoned warehouse where stolen goods were stored. Let the police be careful when they pass by..."

Xiaojie couldn't help but laugh and said: "You can see something strange. Could it be that they have seen a ghost?"

"The police didn't see anything strange in that abandoned factory, but the three of them all saw strange things in the warehouse that afternoon, and then two of them ran to surrender, and one of them suddenly had delusions of being murdered. He still had a knife and went to the police station to report the crime. This is really weird!" Li Peiye said.

A classmate who had not spoken much before suddenly asked: "Is it the abandoned old brick factory outside Dongda Road?" After receiving Li Peiye's affirmative answer, he perked up and continued: "That abandoned factory Later, there were often similar rumors. In the past two years, I heard..."

After he talked for a while, another classmate mentioned that there were some supernatural events happening in a residential building that was to be demolished in the city.

So soon, the old classmates at their table began to discuss various urban legends and supernatural events, some of which happened locally, and some of which were even seen online or heard from other relatives and friends. .

The discussion was very lively, and even the timid girls' eyes lit up.

After all, it is broad daylight, there are many people in the wedding venue, and there are many familiar friends around. Just like listening to a story, it can alleviate the fear to the greatest extent and satisfy the curiosity.

Xiang Kun also adopted a "curious and listening" posture. In fact, from the beginning, he heard what Li Peiye said about the two car thieves who surrendered at Yungang District Branch and the knife-wielding policeman who had persecution delusions. It was he and Lao Xia who experimented with the remote invocation of the "eight-arm and eight-eyes woodcarving" emotional projection in a warehouse in the abandoned factory yesterday afternoon and carried out a range of effects on the three car thieves.

Although he stopped paying attention to the subsequent movements of the three car thieves after leaving the abandoned factory area yesterday afternoon, judging from the observations at that time, what Li Peiye said today was within his expectation.

However, according to his deduction after observing yesterday afternoon, the possibility of the tall, thin young man and the fat middle-aged man surrendering was relatively small. On the contrary, the probability of the scarred man going to the police for help was greater.

Even though the scarred one looks the most ferocious, he is actually the most timid of the three.

Judging from what Li Peiye said, these three people all went to the police last night. Judging from the time, they did not go to the branch to surrender or "report the crime for help" as soon as they left the abandoned factory area. They were not subjected to "eight arms and eight eyes" in the warehouse. After the fear of "wood carving\

,"This resulted in going to the branch office.

These three people made such decisions for different reasons under the influence of subsequent and continuous self-emotions.

This is directly related to their thinking direction, cognitive habits, and personal experience. Just like the "consulting company" and "master" who went to the police to surrender after a dream, they are constantly entangled by fear and self-esteem. After being tortured, they finally found the most direct way to free themselves, which was to go to the police station - although the problems they ultimately wanted to solve were different.

When you feel that your sin is too deep, your burden is too heavy, and you can't bear it, surrendering to the police can give you a strong atonement feedback; when you feel threatened and no one around you can trust you, turning to the police for help can give you a sense of security - even if He is actually a criminal to begin with.

While this may not apply to everyone, this is the subconscious mindset of most people in our country.

Through the news he heard today, Xiang Kun also further improved the cognitive model of using the "eight-armed and eight-eyed wood carving" to have a range of projection influence, knowing the subsequent continuous effects of this projection's emotional impact on different people. Man, what will be the result?

Tang Baona's grandfather and uncle, who were also affected by the "Eight Arms and Eight Eyes Wood Sculpture" and had dreams, as well as Mr. Qi, whom he met in Tongshi Town, have different obsessions and fears, and their reactions are also different. , but judging from Xiang Kun's speculation, this emotion will continue to linger, further fermenting with his random thoughts, until he finds a way to relieve and relieve himself.

While chatting, Li Peiye noticed Xiang Kun, smiled and handed him a cigarette: "What do you call brother?"

Their table was full of middle school classmates. Except for the bald man with glasses who looked relatively unfamiliar, he knew everyone else, so he thought he might be a relative of the groom or something.

As soon as these words came out, the whole table laughed. Wei Zhuo stopped Xiang Kun from answering. Then he patted Li Peiye on the shoulder and said, "I'll give you three chances to say his name. If you say it wrong three times, you won't be able to answer after a while." Just drink three drinks by yourself first."

Li Peiye looked stunned: "Is he someone I know?" Then he looked at Xiang Kun blankly for a while, then suddenly widened his eyes and said, "Fuck! Xiang Kun?!"

Li Peiye, who was extremely shocked by the change in Xiang Kun's appearance, ran to change places with a classmate and sat next to Xiang Kun: "Xiang Kun, I remember you do programming, writing code or something, right? You are... You overused your brain and lost all your hair? Or did you shave your hair on purpose to dissipate heat and show your status as a boss?"

Xiang Kun still maintained his taciturn attitude: "It just fell off naturally."

"What kind of software does your company mainly do? Are you doing factory ERP software, MES systems, etc. for the clothing and shoemaking industries?" Li Peiye asked.

Xiang Kun replied: "This is not what our company does, and I no longer do this business. I came back to invest in a small restaurant with others."

"You're entering the catering industry? That's great. When will it open? Come back and try it." A classmate next to him said after hearing this.

"It's not in Citong, it's in Tongshi Town, Jianzhou City. It's been renovated recently. It's not yet sure when it will open." Xiang Kun said.

"Why go to the mountains and valleys of Tongshi Town to open a restaurant? If you open it in Citong, wouldn't the flow of people be greater?" the classmate asked curiously.

Li Peiye said, "Hey, don't look down on Tongshi Town. I recently heard news that the authorities are planning to vigorously build and develop Tongshi Town."

Wei Zhuo asked in confusion: "Vigorously develop Tongshi Town? In what direction, tourism? It seems to be quite close to Wushu Mountain Scenic Area."

"I don't know the specific situation. I just know that several big guys in the province are paying attention to Tongshi Town recently. Those people are well-informed people. There must be a reason why they pay attention to Tongshi Town." Li Peiye was mysterious. Said with a smile.

Wei Zhuo smiled and said: "Then if we take the opportunity to go over and collect some real estate, wouldn't it be possible to make a lot of money?"

Li Peiye shook his head: "That's not recommended. The specific industries that will be supported and what policies will be given are still uncertain, and the timeframe is unknown. We ordinary people don't need to get involved. The risk is too great."

"Pepe, are you still an ordinary person? Don't you claim to have a net worth of tens of billions?" someone joked.

"Yes, with a net worth of tens of billions! Indonesian rupiah!" Li Peiye was talking when he suddenly saw a rather thin middle-aged man walking into the wedding venue. He stood up to say hello and said to other students: " When I saw an old customer or elder, I went over to say a few words."

Xiang Kun's position was with his back to the entrance, but he didn't have to look back and noticed the thin middle-aged man who came in earlier than Li Peiye - it was Chu Xiuwen who he met by chance in the hospital yesterday morning.

I didn't expect him to come to the wedding.

Xiang Kun heard from the conversation between Chu Xiuwen and the people who accompanied him into the venue that he should have been invited by the groom's father.

Xiang Kun didn't take the initiative to say hello. He didn't want to destroy the "personality" he had maintained so far. Anyway, the distance between their two tables was a bit far, and Chu Xiuwen might not be able to spot him. And from where he was sitting, he couldn't see Chu Xiuwen. Very normal.

But what he didn't expect was that Li Peiye took the initiative to say hello to Chu Xiuwen, and then pointed to his location and told Chu Xiuwen that an old classmate was going to Tongshi Town to open a restaurant and asked him to take care of him.

As soon as he heard this conversation, although Xiang Kun had his back turned, he immediately knew that Chu Xiuwen's eyes must have fallen on his back, and then he noticed his bald head.

Sure enough, after a few seconds, Chu Xiuwen asked: "Manager Li, isn't your classmate's surname Xiang?"

"Huh? Mr. Chu, do you know Xiang Kun?" Li Peiye said in surprise.

"Xiang Kun is...well...I had dinner with him."

Then Chu Xiuwen followed Li Peiye directly, and when he reached Xiang Kun, he said with a look of surprise and surprise: "Brother Xiang, I didn't expect to meet you here. You, the groom, and Manager Li are all classmates, right? "

Xiang Kun had no choice but to stand up and also made an expression of surprise and surprise: "Yes, we are all classmates. I didn't expect to meet you here. It's such a coincidence, Brother Chu."

"Let's have a drink later. Oh, by the way, if you don't drink, you can drink tea or drinks." Chu Xiuwen said with a smile, and then stood here and greeted Xiang Kun for a while before returning. own position.

"Why does this 'Brother Chu' seem to be fawning over Xiang Kun?" Xiaojie asked her husband next to her in a low voice.

Wei Zhuo said in a low voice: "It shouldn't be flattery, but he does look a little nervous, as if he is a little afraid of Xiang Kun? It's strange, he even takes the initiative to say hello to Pepe's customers and elders, he must be a boss-level figure, right?" strangeness……"

What surprised them even more was that not long after the newcomers entered and the banquet started, the "Brother Chu" in Li Peiye's mouth actually took the initiative to come over with a wine glass to pay respect to Xiang Kun, and it was he who was holding a glass of white wine, and Xiang Kun was Ask the waiter for a glass of boiled water.

Others at the table were just confused, but Li Peiye, who had a little understanding of Chu Xiuwen's usual style and personality, was shocked.

He knew very well that although Chu Xiuwen did not have any impressive titles, and the companies he owned were very small, many people thought he was just a small rich man from Tongshi Town, but in fact he had a wide network of contacts, even in the provincial capital. Have a certain influence.

Moreover, Chu Xiuwen always acted like a "Confucian businessman" and was a bit arrogant at heart. When he appeared at social events several times at the same time, no matter whether he was higher or lower than him, he never saw him put himself in such a bad way. The posture is so low.

After Chu Xiuwen finished drinking and went back, Li Peiye couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Xiang Kun, what is your relationship with Mr. Chu?"

Xiang Kun just heard what Chu Xiuwen said, so he continued to use it: "When I went to Tongshi Town before, I had a meal with a mutual friend."

Li Peiye nodded thoughtfully, guessing that Xiang Kun's friend must be a very powerful person, so Chu Xiuwen's attitude should be because of Xiang Kun's friend.

In fact, Xiang Kun also had a little doubt. He knew that Chu Xiuwen would be more polite to him because of Liu Feibao and Liu Caifu, but his attitude today was obviously different from when they met yesterday.

Although there is a certain reason, it may be that Chu Xiuwen is a good person and deliberately wants to give him "face" in front of his classmates, but with Xiang Kun's keen observation and perception ability, he can clearly feel that Chu Xiuwen is a little vague about him. of fear? Or awe?

What is the reason?

The first thing he thought of was the doctor who was giving first aid to the old man at the station gate when he saw him sitting in Chu Xiuwen's car yesterday. Could it be that the doctor recognized him and told Chu Xiuwen?

But even if Chu Xiuwen knew that the old man who fell ill at the station would be rescued, and he might have contributed to it, shouldn't he have this attitude? This influencing factor was not enough to give him such an attitude.

After toasting Xiang Kun, Chu Xiuwen returned to his seat. Thinking back to his performance and Xiang Kun's attitude just now, he couldn't help but wonder if he had over-performed. Could it be that it was too much and not enough?

The guests next to him curiously asked him who the toast was, but he just casually said "an acquaintance" without any intention of introducing him to others.

After seeing Xiang Kun just now, he couldn't help but think of what Mr. Guo said after he woke up when he and Guo Lin went to see his father, Mr. Guo, on the evening of the 29th.

At that time, Mr. Guo said that when he was in a coma, he "saw" a "gatekeeper" with many arms. He "saw" the entrance to another world. He felt very, very scared, unprecedented fear.

Whether it was Chu Xiuwen or Guo Lin, they naturally didn't take Mr. Guo's words seriously. It was understandable that the old man had gone through hell and had some hallucinations.

But yesterday at the entrance of the hospital, Dr. Zhou Yiqing recognized Xiang Kun's coat. He also knew that the time when Xiang Kun returned to Citong met the conditions. After deducing that Xiang Kun might be the person who saved Mr. Guo at the entrance of the station, he reluctantly He couldn't help but think of what Liu Feibao secretly said to him when they were drinking in private.

When Mr. Qi met Xiang Kun before, he seemed to be frightened by something.

Whether it is Mr. Guo or Qi Haoguo, they are both heroes and heroes who have experienced great storms. Such people are really not something that ordinary people can scare or bluff.

Could it be that they really saw something?

And it was Xiang Kun who let them see these things?
