What It’s Like Being a Vampire

The failure of the "mutated parasite" to parasitize was something Xiang Kun had expected.

But after the parasitism failed, he was in such a state of being about to die, which was beyond Xiang Kun's expectation.

What is the reason?

Xiang Kun took a cell phone to take a picture of the "mutated parasite" in his palm that looked like it was about to die due to failed parasitism, while thinking about why this happened.

Soon he had a basic guess:

According to his own behavior and the behavior patterns of various "mutated creatures" he has come into contact with before, they all fall asleep after drinking blood, and this "mutated parasite" should be no exception.

So if the "mutated parasite" wants to drink his blood, it needs to do one of two things.

Either control him and make him hallucinate like other hosts, and make up a set of ideas on his own to accept the fact of parasitism and become a new host.

Or just kill him outright.

In other words, although the "mutated parasite" just broke through the skin and muscles on his arm, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere, which was very terrifying, it probably did not suck blood, but was just completing parasitism, or trying to kill Kill him.

Therefore, the "mutated parasite" probably did not become like this because it sucked his blood, but became like this because of the failure of parasitism.

According to Xiang Kun's previous judgment, the way this "mutated parasite" affects the host's mind should be by synthesizing or guiding the secretion of a variety of neurotransmitters.

The large number of slender tentacles or fine hairs that grow after being parasitized by the "mutated parasite" are likely to be used to connect human nerves, blood vessels and other basic units, and may even extend directly to the brain in the body. These tentacles, in addition to creating illusions, should also be responsible for transforming the host's body.

But just like ordinary people's bodies have an immune system that eliminates foreign invaders such as parasites, bacteria, and viruses, Xiang Kun feels that his body should also have an immune system now.

In the process of parasitism, the "mutated parasite" may have triggered his immune system, and his immune system must be very different from ordinary people. It is likely that he has more radical and ferocious "counterattack" methods, but these He didn't know the method before, and he didn't have the opportunity to try it out bit by bit like other abilities.

Moreover, when the "mutated parasite" stretched out its large number of slender tentacles and fine hairs, it was probably in a relatively weak state. Through those tentacles,

Perhaps Xiang Kun's immune counterattack can directly reach its most vulnerable area.

Xiang Kun also has another guess. If the "mutated parasite" can share the host's sensory information or feed back processed sensory information, then it will be "parasitizing" and "accessing" its own sensory information. When giving feedback, are you overwhelmed by the massive amount of information?

You must know that the amount of sensory information that Xiang Kun can obtain now, and the amount of information his brain can process, is several orders of magnitude more than that of other normal humans. This huge amount of information may indeed allow the "mutated parasite" to Processing organs cannot bear it.

But whether it was an immune attack or an overload of sensory information feedback, logically speaking, the damage caused should gradually stop after it stopped parasitizing and emerged from Xiang Kun's arm, and then the insect leaned on his arm. Strong resilience begins to repair itself.

But so far, it seems that the insect has not recovered at all, and is getting weaker and weaker visibly to the naked eye - and this time Xiang Kun is very sure that it is not acting.

As time passed, the open wound on Xiang Kun's arm had healed, and the "mutated parasite" had completely disappeared.

Xiang Kun certainly didn't want the bug to burp. He had many questions related to the bug that needed to be solved through subsequent experiments and research.

For example, how does it sense the surrounding situation after parasitism, and how does it judge that he or other "mutated creatures" are approaching?

There are also ways it affects the host's thinking, induces hallucinations, and transforms the host's body. Although Xiang Kun has some conjectures and speculations, the actual results still need rigorous experimental proof and equipment to assist observation.

Each of these discoveries is of high value, and Xiang Kun can use these analyzes to help him improve his understanding of his own abilities and other things, and find ways to apply them.

At the same time, the observation and research of "mutated parasites" can also help him find more clues to the root causes of variation in "mutated organisms".

But the reality is that this bug failed to "parasitize" him, and instead became GG on its own.

Sample No. 002 from his and Lao Xia's future research base and secret laboratory is gone.

What can he do?

Of course, Xiang Kun had anticipated this situation before. If in extreme circumstances, the "mutated parasite" threatened him, he would either have no confidence in controlling it and bring it back, or he would accidentally kill it.

That can only be... eaten in time.

After all, the "mutated creatures" that die will turn into gray powder after a while, and there is no way to take them back for study.

And if he eats it, he may be able to get more useful information and give his mutation new "energy".

This "mutated parasite" is such a small one, so naturally it has no meaning of "sucking blood". It just sucks.

But before choosing to eat it, Xiang Kun first entered a "super-sensory state".

Although he believed that he was not parasitized, and he was very sure that the "mutated parasite" did not have the ability to cause him to hallucinate, to be on the safe side, he still wanted to make sure that everything he was seeing now was real.

Could it be that the parasite just now had actually successfully "parasitized" it, and everything that happened after that was just something he imagined in order to "persuade" himself?

Fortunately, in the "super-sensory state", Xiang Kun was sure that the body of the "mutated parasite" was in his hands.

However, Xiang Kun discovered that compared to when it was in Fan Jiading's body, the cognitive information of this "mutated parasite" now has some very specific changes. These changes should not be in form, but in its cognitive information. The message seemed to contain some very strange information.

But he doesn't have much time to observe and think now. He is not sure how long it will take for the "mutated parasite" to turn into gray powder after death. If he doesn't eat it in time, it will be a waste if it turns into powder and disappears.

After leaving the "supersensory state", Xiang Kun threw the bug into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it.

In fact, with the size of this "mutated parasite", there was no need to chew it, but to be on the safe side and out of curiosity, he chewed it a few times.

It has no taste and tastes a bit chewy, like a piece of rubber.

While chewing, Xiang Kun inexplicably remembered some of the memes about Mr. Bei that he had often seen on the Internet before, such as "crunchy chicken flavor", "rich in protein", "as long as the head is removed, other parts will be fine". It’s edible”, “It’s not much but it’s better than nothing”, “This is not the most delicious thing I’ve ever eaten”…

At the same time, he thought about the taste he experienced when he went to taste the fried beef river during the day, and then came up with something like "It's rare to be able to really eat, it would be great if I could handle and cook it", "If there are a hundred of them, I can stir-fry a plate." "Bar" weird thoughts.

Of course, this is just a thought.

After eating the "mutated parasite", Xiang Kun found a corner in the house to be demolished and sat down against the wall. He obeyed his sleepiness and closed his eyes to sleep.

When Xiang Kun opened his eyes again, he looked at the timer on his phone. Twenty-three minutes had passed.

Then Xiang Kun closed his eyes again and recalled the information that came to his mind while he was sleeping.

Just like before, he had a dream after swallowing the blood of other "mutated creatures" and gained a part of the memory of the "mutated creatures" after falling asleep. This time, he also had a "dream".

It's just that in this "dream", he didn't see any pictures or hear any sounds. What he felt was some very unusual sensory information.
