What It’s Like Being a Vampire

It has been more than half a year since the mutation last July. Xiang Kun has come into contact with a variety of mutated creatures, including owls, spiders, big birds, and some that are suspected to be mutants from ants and suspected to be mutant from wolves. Creatures, and humans like Guo Tianxiang.

Even through some memory fragments of the mutated spider, its mutated appearance, and some special "branching" abilities, Xiang Kun also knew that the spider had swallowed a mutated plant.

There are even plants, so there is nothing surprising about other types of mutated creatures.

However, the scene shown in the dream of the "vampire patient" and the process of her being "parasitized" still made Xiang Kun feel a bit magical - this method of parasitism was too violent and direct.

Although some organisms such as parasitic wasps will forcefully lay their eggs into the host's body, most parasitic organisms still sneak into the village quietly and are shot away, usually through the esophagus or The skin silently parasitizes the host. Like the "mutated creature" in the dream, it directly digs a big hole in the skin and crawls into it. The sight of the skin being torn apart is really... too direct and cruel.

But it obviously has the ability to cause the host to have some kind of hallucination, beautify the process of being parasitized, blind real perception and memory, and even think that being parasitized is a good thing.

And it is estimated that it can help the host stop bleeding and repair wounds quickly. Otherwise, people who were by the stream at that time and came over after hearing the sound would also find her wounds.

Judging from the scene in the dream, the "mutated creature" initially tore the skin from the instep to enter, but later in the van, the "vampire patient" cut open his calf with a knife, allowing the "mutated creature" to "from.

Judging from the size, after parasitizing for a period of time, the "mutant creature" seems to have become a little smaller. It seems that its mutation and evolution direction are still in the control and influence of the host.

Xiang Kun does not think that this "mutated parasite" can control all the behavior of the host and can grasp the specific details of the hallucinations seen by the host. It should control the body's secretion of certain hormones or directly affect nerve signals to cause the host to produce The idea of ​​a certain direction, so as to make up the specific illusions and details by oneself.

Just like Guo Tianxiang's ability to "build one's own fear projection by looking at each other", it can only determine that the person who has hallucinations will be afraid after seeing the hallucinations. What they see is what they fear, but what they see specifically depends on It is not something Guo Tianxiang can control.

Xiang Kun is able to create a variety of illusions, and can even control in detail what illusions others see. He also has the ability to "manifest all illusions" "developed" by Lao Xia, so he naturally knows how complicated it is to achieve this. And difficulties, it is difficult for a bug to do it in the host body, let alone create such a complex illusion.

But once entering the body of the "vampire patient\

,"It immediately caused her to have effective hallucinations and guided her behavior. This made Xiang Kun determine that this "mutated parasite" was most likely not the first time to parasitize humans. It had probably had the experience of parasitizing humans once or even several times before. , mutated or evolved the ability to guide human behavior.

However, it did not parasitize near the human brain, but existed in the calf muscles, which made Xiang Kun feel a little strange. Either it can swim freely in the human body, or it is not as simple a structure as it seems. There may be other ways to transmit influence and interference through the nerves throughout the body.

While he was thinking about it, his cell phone vibrated and he found out that it was Lao Xia who was calling. It was obvious that she had also woken up.

After being connected, Lao Xia directly expressed her judgment: "She seems to have been parasitized by a 'mutated creature'."

"If the scenes I saw in the dream are the real situation, then it should be correct. The 'mutated parasite' can not only parasitize humans, but also has a certain ability to move after being separated from humans. It may have transformed now I have had many hosts, but I am no longer in Citong City." Xiang Kun said.

Lao Xia: "From her medical records, the 'mutated parasite' should have a certain impact on her body, making her stronger, more energetic, and more emotional. It should also have some effect on the recovery of the wound. Promoting effect, when she was admitted to the hospital, we checked her physical condition. The injury on her calf had healed, and the scar was almost invisible, although the 'parasite' should no longer be in her body at that time. As for the instep I will look for a chance to check the injury tomorrow to see if I can find any scars. At present, some of the effects of the 'parasite' on the host are likely to be permanent, including hallucinations and certain things. physiological response."

"Can you tell what insect that 'mutated parasite' mutated from?" Xiang Kun asked.

"I don't know." Lao Xia replied: "But this 'mutated creature' has a certain IQ. At least it can judge the situation and make decisions through the sensory information or emotions obtained by the host. Its mutation should also be in this direction. "

Lao Xia's judgment was consistent with Xiang Kun's. He thought for a while and said, "Let's just ignore this matter for the time being and concentrate on preparing for the laboratory. After I go back to Citong City, I'll do it again." Go and investigate slowly. It is within the scope of my vision and smell, so it cannot be hidden. If I investigate slowly, it is still possible to find out its whereabouts. After I can catch it, I will hand it over to you for research."

Lao Xia said: "It shouldn't be able to affect me."

As soon as she heard Xiang Kun's words, she knew that he thought that the "mutated parasite" might pose a threat to her if he was still in Citong City or came back to find the "vampire patient".

Xiang Kun knew that what Lao Xia said made sense, and if the "mutated parasite" could find its previous host, it would have done so long ago and would not have waited so long, so if Lao Xia's research goal was only to focus on "vampires" There should be no danger to the patient.

"Then, except for the Third Hospital, don't go to other places to investigate. If you find any information, tell me first. I have more experience and means than you in dealing with these 'mutated creatures.'" Xiang Kun warned.

Lao Xia also said simply: "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Xiang Kun couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If Lao Xia could also have the little fat girl's ability to control "super-connected things" and the corresponding electromagnetic control power, what kind of "mutated parasites" or other "mutations" would he encounter? "Creature" doesn't have to worry about her.

It can even be said that if she is discovered, those "mutated creatures" will not even think about running away. Or the "Fantasy Manifestation" ability can "uniformly manifest" some lethal weapons, unlike now that Lao Xia can only manifest all kinds of food. If there is danger, it will not be of much use except to scare people.

Xiang Kun made voice input and asked Alice to help him find a "parasite" that matched the image he saw in his dream. Of course, according to his previous inference, this "mutated parasite" should have mutated and evolved many times. The original form may not be like this at all. It is even possible that it may not be a "parasite" originally. According to that form If you look for it, you may not necessarily find useful information.

Xiang Kun continued to give Alice "tasks" based on some previous guesses.

From the situation in the forest beside the creek in the "vampire patient's" dream, Xiang Kun had already determined that it was in Zihuan Mountain on the outskirts of Citong City. The "mutated parasite" would be there, and it should be related to its previous host.

Xiang Kun asked Alice to use the time when the "vampire patient" was parasitized in the mountain as a basis to search for any accidents, people missing, or aggressive wild animals attacking humans in Zihuan Mountain earlier.

According to his previous speculation that "this is not the first time a 'mutated parasite' has parasitized humans", its last host was probably also a human, and might have been buried in Zihuan Mountain. He did not think that the "vampire patient" was escaping. It is the mercy of the "mutated parasite" that it can survive after parasitism. Other hosts will most likely be squeezed out of their remaining value after its normal parasitic cycle ends.

…

After having lunch at her parents' house, Yang Zhener changed her clothes, took some things with her, and prepared to go back to the house where she and Tang Baona lived together.

"I bought a lot of vegetables today, as well as seafood from your uncle. It's very rare that you have money and no place to buy it. You asked Nana to come over to play, and we had dinner together at home. I haven't seen Nana for a long time. That's it." Yang's mother stood at the door of her daughter's bedroom and said to Yang Zhen'er who was packing her things.

"Nana and I are going to her grandpa's house for dinner in the evening. Hey, next time, mother, why don't I ask Nana to be our guest tomorrow?" Yang Zhener said with a smile.

At this time, Yang Zhener's father, Yang Keyan, also walked to the bedroom door, frowned and asked his daughter: "When you resigned, didn't you tell me that you were going to find a job by yourself? How long has it been? Have you found it yet?"

Yang's mother patted her husband on the shoulder: "Oh, the first month has not even ended yet, why are you so anxious?"

Yang Keyan's frown deepened: "If she had made it clear that she was too lazy to work and just wanted to be a helper at home, then I wouldn't have said anything. But when she resigned, she told me that she didn't need to rely on my nepotism to influence her. You can also do something good."

Yang Zhener quickly said: "I didn't say that. What I said was, 'I can make a career without working in your company.' Hehe, I have indeed found a job. Didn't I say it before? , I want to ask the chef to make a game and open a company, Nana and I will help him..."

When Mother Yang heard this, she frowned deeper than Yang Keyan and asked in confusion: "Chef Xiang? Is that the programmer you said before, who is very good at cooking? The man who was on a blind date with Nana? Hey, you did it years ago? When I went to Haixi Province, didn't I say that Chef Xiang opened a restaurant with someone in that town? Why are you starting to play games again now? How long has it been? Is this person reliable? Did he get fired from the company because he was restless when he was a programmer?"

"Oh, why are you being fired? His company went bankrupt!" Yang Zhener quickly explained.

"Ah? The company was bankrupted by him?" Mother Yang became even more worried: "Isn't this a liar? Does he want you and Nana to become shareholders?"

Yang Zhener said helplessly: "Mom! Chef Xiang can't defraud us of our money! You will know if you have been in contact with him, this person is very awesome..."

Mother Yang glared and raised her hand to strike: "What are you talking about? Girls should be polite when speaking. If they are strong, they will be awesome. If they are awesome, they will be awesome. Don't say those two words."

"Oh, this is not a bad word now!" Yang Zhen'er said, "In short, Chef Xiang is not a liar. Nana and I only have a little pocket money each and can't buy many shares. We mainly like what he does. When the game comes online, Mom, if you go and play it, you will know how powerful it is! The eldest princess of the Zhang Group’s bet is the big one, at least tens of millions. There is also a classmate of Chef Xiang, whose family owns a chain of supermarkets, and he wants to become a shareholder! There are also Nana’s sister, brother-in-law, Sister Han, and the others, there are so many of them!"

As a result, Mother Yang became even more worried: "So many people, so much money? What if he takes the money and runs away? You have to be careful. Nowadays, there are many such people who blow up a big balloon first and draw the pie. It's big and fragrant, and then after getting the money, they go abroad to live happily. Some people not only cheat money, but also... cheat feelings. Don't be sold out and help count the money."

Yang Zhener couldn't laugh or cry: "Mom! Chef Xiang is not such a person! Oh, why don't you believe me? Lao Xia is planning to resign and help Chef Xiang build a laboratory. Do you know how good this girl Lao Xia is? She is smart, and she studies mental illness and psychology. She is the most accurate judge of people. She has already mastered it. Are you still worried that I will be deceived? "

Mother Yang was startled: "Is this so? Does Lao Xia trust Chef Xiang that much? That's right... That seems to be reliable."

Looking at his mother who was relieved and nodded in approval, Yang Zhener looked blank: "Mom! Who is your daughter?"

"Your cousin is much smarter than you and is very accurate in judging people. If you follow her lead, you won't suffer any loss." Mother Yang said with a smile.

At this time, Yang Keyan, who had been thoughtful since just now, also said: "What do you think is going on with the Zhang Group? Is it the Zhang Group that you saved the child from before? Xiang Kun borrowed the previous favor, Find someone from the Zhang Group to invest?"

"No! It's Zhang Qian from the Zhang Group. There was a project a few years ago that happened to be taken over by Chef Xiang, and then he found out that Chef Xiang was the benefactor who saved his two nephews, so they started to have contacts. But I can guarantee that, She definitely didn’t invest in Chef Xiang’s project because of favors. That game is really awesome... Hey, I can’t explain it to you. Anyway, I just invested so little! I don’t feel bad if I lose everything... and it doesn’t hurt at all... Maybe it’s a loss! In fact, I originally promised Chef Xiang that if he was short of funds, I would mobilize all my relatives and friends, as well as your father, to invest together. But he is not short of money at all now. If he hadn’t been short of funds, If Kun wants to leave shares to others, Zhang Qian can take care of it all by herself."

Yang Keyan asked: "Does the game Xiang Kun makes really have such potential? Did he make it alone? Or did he have a team?"

"How do I know the specifics? An Zheng is just fun and awesome." Yang Zhener said decisively, "Dad, how about you lend me another 5 million, and I will pay you back 5.05 million in three years?"

Mother Yang couldn't help but laugh and said: "Hey girl, the interest rate is lower than that of bank deposits?"

Yang Keyan also smiled and said, "Didn't you say that Zhang Qian had you covered?"

Yang Zhener said: "She actually wants to refuse it to the chef. Nana and I can pool some money and take more! Hehe!"

Yang Keyan said: "You can invite Xiang Kun to your house for a meal some other time. I want to chat with him and see his game. If it is OK, let alone 5 million, multiple zeros are fine."

Yang Zhener shook his head repeatedly: "Xiang Kun, I don't have that many shares for you to invest in!"

"We can talk about everything. The Zhang Group can talk about it, so can't we talk about it? Let's talk. I met Xiang Kun at the police station last time and I had a good impression of him." Yang Keyan said.

"Then I'll just mention it. If he doesn't want to come, there's nothing I can do about it," Yang Zhen'er said.
