What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Pengcheng.

The underground of a building.

"Mr. Liang" looked at several display screens, and people from the information collection and analysis department sorted out the briefings sent from all over the country and quickly screened them.

These briefings are all unusual and weird things that have happened in various places within a few days. After the relevant staff have conducted preliminary screening and analysis, they will submit them to him for decision, whether to send a field team to conduct further investigations. Or the information team will continue to follow up and do more detailed information mining.

Today, when the mobile Internet is so developed, a large number of users publish all kinds of strange things, monsters, strange people's information, or text, or pictures, or videos, in various forms.

However, most of the information is obviously false, and it is not difficult to distinguish and filter.

Even computer AI can help filter out most invalid information through preset rules.

But because the total amount of information is too large, the workload of manual screening is still not small. After all, "Mr. Liang" has very strict requirements for the work, and they can't tolerate them at will.

The people in the information collection and analysis department do not want to lose this extremely well-paid job, so they do everything very carefully and hard.

The information that can come to "Mr. Liang" is basically certain that it is true. The staff will make a brief report of the results of preliminary investigations through the Internet and other channels and submit it to him for further judgment.

What "Mr. Liang" wants to judge is naturally whether there are "blood-eating creatures" hidden behind these events.

Of course, even after a round of screening and preliminary investigations have been conducted, most of the briefings have nothing to do with "blood-eating creatures."

"Mr. Liang" made a quick selection, just raising his hand and swiping in front of the screen without touching.

Before a briefing, his hand stopped. It was the latest news today, from a personal account on a social media.

It happened in Star City. The source claimed that his friend accidentally fell into the river yesterday, and then something very strange happened. His friend was "actively" thrown ashore by the river, and his friend also said that the river seemed to There is something.

At that time, there was fog on the surface of the river, and the street lights along the way were also dimmed, very strange.

After he returned home, he checked the public news and folk tales that happened on the riverside in the past ten or twenty years, and felt that there might be something in the river.

But this thing saved his friend, and it should also be a good thing.

This news did not cause any splashes on social media, and did not cause much discussion and attention. After all, there is no picture or video, and it is not a big V who sent the message. Only a few of the original friends of the person reposted and discussed it.

However, the person in the information collection department verified through other channels, but found that the experience he talked about, in fact, may not be different, so he gave a briefing and uploaded it to "Mr. Liang."

In addition to the message posted by that person on social media, the briefing also found a surveillance picture of the person in the information department who had illegally stopped by the road when the incident happened.

From the surveillance video, it can be seen that three men and one woman got off the car one after another. After ten minutes, the three helped a drenched man back and got in the car and left.

From another angle of monitoring, you can also see the whole process of the man falling into the river. Obviously, he did not accidentally fall into the river, but took the initiative to jump.

After the other two men got out of the car, they also saw the changes in the brightness of the street lights as they ran along the embankment.

It's a pity that I haven't been able to capture the specific situation on the surface of the river, and I can't see the scene of the man who jumped ashore.

But these can already prove part of the authenticity of the person's posts on social media.

"Mr. Liang" carefully checked the two sections of monitoring again, thoughtfully.

Is it a "blood-eating creature" born in the water?

No, if it is a creature in the water, it should not save people.

But if it is a "blood-eating creature" that mutated from humans, why would it be in the water?

Or is it not related to "blood-eating creatures"?

It is possible that the man who jumped into the river regretted it after falling into the water and swam ashore by himself. After all, the water flow in that section of the river basin should be slow. But because of my face, I told my companion that he had been thrown ashore by the water, on the excuse that there was something in the river, to distract his companion. As for the street lights and the fog on the river, reasonable explanations can also be found.

"Mr. Liang" swiped the briefing to the right and kept it, ready to go back and arrange for someone to follow up and investigate it.

Generally, if this kind of information is confirmed with a high degree of certainty that there is a "blood-eating creature", he will directly send a field investigation team to conduct field investigations, just like the reaction after the incident in Qinling No Man's Land and Wu Shushan.

Of course, sometimes, he will be dispatched himself.

Just as "Mr. Liang" was about to continue browsing other briefings, one of the LCD screens showed an external call request screen, and the screen showed "He Haomin".

"Mr. Liang" thought for a few seconds before answering the call request.

"A Liang?" A vigorous male voice sounded.

"I'm here." "Mr. Liang" replied with his trademark, metal rubbing voice.

"Still in Pengcheng?"

"in."

"I heard that you confirmed that the fire-burning flying object that appeared in Zihuan Mountain, Zihuan Mountain, Haixi Province on February 14 was the'giant bird of prey' that caused tourists to fall off the cliff in Wushu Mountain earlier?"

"Yes."

"Where is it now?"

"Not sure for the time being, still investigating."

The voice on the other side suddenly became a little harsh: "Did you forget the regulations? Any'blood-eating creatures' that may endanger the lives and property of the people must be subject to necessary control and monitoring; anything that has endangered the people All the'blood-eating creatures' whose lives and property are safe must take compulsory measures to prevent the harm from happening!"

"Mr. Liang" replied: "I have sent an investigation team..."

The opposite immediately interrupted him: "Dr. Fang's investigation team? Don't fool me. I have seen the staffing of her investigation team. There is no ability to take coercive measures. You have no intention of letting them capture.' Mutated Raptor'."

Indeed, compared to the field investigation team that entered the Qinling no man's land, the team led by Fang Pingfang was a bit too shabby and lacked the ability to catch big birds.

"You didn't find Guo Tianxiang in Yangcheng in advance. It's not your fault. After all, he hides well. But these'blood-eating creatures' that have been exposed to harmful behaviors and whereabouts must be taken seriously." The man named He Haomin slowed down his tone and became more focused: "A Liang, I don't intervene in specific research...nor can I intervene. These are all for you to control, but there are some things you must pay attention to. This kind of'blood-eating creatures' that have shown great harm, no matter what kind of research plan you have, you can't adopt the method of'stocking', and you must have a bottom line for your research. Don't forget, it was Academician Shen who rejected the crowd at the beginning I promise you to do this. Although Academician Shen is no longer there, I hope you will not let him down...There are still many people who trust you."

"Mr. Liang" has been silently listening to the opposite, before saying: "Old Ho, don't worry, I will go and track the bird myself."

After finishing the call, "Mr. Liang" called up an operation interface, entered a string of codes representing the "giant bird of prey", and let the computer deduce it and predict the area where it might appear now based on the known information. Then the forecast results are sent to the information collection department, so that they can select the most likely result through manpower investigation and analysis.

He Haomin's guess is actually correct. For that "giant bird of prey," "Mr. Liang" really wants to "stock" and do some related experiments and research ideas.

But it wasn't that he deliberately released the "giant bird of prey", but he didn't use his full strength to track and pursue it.

Because he had some speculations about the "giant bird of prey", but these speculations could not be told to the researchers and field personnel under his hands, nor could he tell Lao He.

Now that Lao He has issued a very stern warning, he must give priority to the "Giant Raptor".

He knew that Lao He's support was very important to him.

While waiting for feedback from the information collection department, "Mr. Liang" turned his eyes without eyelids, and his gaze fell on a wooden rabbit sculpture on a metal table next to him.

He has been staying in this building since New Year’s Eve. Most of the time he has been studying this wood carving. He believes that there is a problem with this wood carving and it must be related to a certain “blood-eating creature”, but no matter what method is used, Can't find the problem.

He also pretended to be "asleep", lying motionless and relaxing for several hours, but he did not "dream", let alone see hallucinations.

He also tried to ask the driver Lao Xie to help with the experiment. When Lao Xie was asleep, he put the woodcarving beside him, but when he woke up, he stopped talking about "the strange dreams related to rabbit meat", and there was no dream. do.

It was this woodcarver who could detect his threat, so he "dare not" to react.

Or is it because so long has passed that its "characteristics" have disappeared?

...

"Little Apple" took the cell phone and listened to the "learning cat cry" played by the little fat girl Liu Shiling yesterday afternoon, with the same "aunt laugh" on her face as Tang Baona and Yang Zhener at the time.

Although the singing is a bit intermittent, there are many places where words are forgotten, and all kinds of meows are confused. Strictly speaking, it is not as good as when "Little Apple" first taught her.

But I have to say that the cute and cute voice of the little fat girl is so cute.

Even if "Little Apple" couldn't see Yang Zhen'er's video in the group, the little fat girl was a little nervous and nervous while singing, she felt very happy just by listening to the voice.

Even when he heard the sound, he walked into the room and stood on the side, watching Professor Li Yang, who was watching the content on the mobile phone. He couldn’t help but smile: “This little girl is so cute. It reminds me of your childhood. You told me that the kid who lives in Star City with whom you learned to sing, right?"

"Little Apple" said: "Yes, her name is Liu Shiling, and we all call her Little Bell, a very cute and sensible little girl. She used to live next to Uncle Xiang’s house and knew Uncle Xiang very well, so this time Na Sister Na, Sister Zhen'er, Sister Bing and Uncle Xiang went to Star City and went to play with her."

Li Yang nodded and looked at "Golden Shining" who was standing on the shoulders of "Little Apple", who seemed to be watching the video together, and asked: "By the way, have you often released'Golden Shining' alone during this time?"

As if he heard a discussion about himself, "Golden Shining" tweeted, then fluttered his wings and flew into the open-door bird cage on the table.

"Ah, yes, occasionally I will let it go out to breathe, otherwise it may be a bit boring to stay in the house with me..." "Little Apple" was a little flustered, and quickly found an excuse.

Every time she put "Golden Shining" out as her "eyes and ears" and wandered around, the dad she was looking for was not there. When Aunt Yang was busy, she thought her dad hadn't noticed it.

"Oh, I was too busy during this time. I thought I would have time to take you out to play during the winter vacation. But because of the department's affairs, it was delayed again. On the contrary, I was busier than when I was in class. Your uncle here For a while, there were a lot of things, and fewer come here. There is also something in your Aunt Yang’s house, alas..."

"Little Apple" can hear feelings of guilt, regret, and distress from her father's words and voice even without her ability to "felt perception".

Then she realized that her dad thought she hadn't been out much during this time, but stayed at home. He felt that she was too lonely and didn't want to be "Golden Sparkle" like her, so he put "Golden Sparkle" "She went out to let the wind go, but she couldn't fly or go out by herself.

She hurriedly said: "Dad, I actually don't want to go out recently. I have a lot of things to do at home. I have to record audio for sister Nana, make a video explaining bird science, learn the computer knowledge sent to my uncle, and Sister Zhener tested the voice game with Uncle Xiang, and also taught "Little Bell" to sing. I have a lot to do at home."

Li Yang touched his daughter's head lightly, and sighed: "I know, you are a good boy."

"Little Apple" was helpless. Dad thought he was trying to comfort him.

But she can’t tell her dad directly, let’s go out with "Golden Shining", that is, let her go out. "Golden Shining" is her drone and camera. Now she is in the bedroom of her family, but she can know the whole city I even know a lot of gossip that ordinary people don't know. Although the eyes still can't see things, the perception ability is far beyond ordinary people.

"Dad, I'm really good, really." "Little Apple" can only say in a decisive and sure tone again.

"Well, I know, I know." Li Yang nodded.

But from his father's tone, "Little Apple" still knew that he didn't really take it seriously.

"But... you always let'Golden Shining' go out. Will it not come back, or get lost, or be attacked by other birds... After all,'Golden Shining' is raised by your uncle, if you lose it , Not very good." Li Yang said worriedly.

"Little Apple" smiled and said: "Dad, don't worry,'Golden Sparkle' is very clever and will protect herself. Aunt Yang and I have spent so much effort preparing bird food for it, and she can't eat it elsewhere. ~www.novelmtl.com~ I am reluctant to leave me, and I will definitely come back, 200%. And I also know Uncle Xiang that I let it go."

"Golden Shining" in the cage over there tweeted very cooperatively, which caused Li Yang to look surprised.

"By the way, Little Apple, your uncle said that someone would like to ask you about the training method of the'guide bird'..." Li Yang remembered what his brother had called him before, and said: "It's from Haixi Province. Police officer, I learned about the'guide bird' you raised from his police school classmate. Oh, his classmate was the first police officer Xiao Wang who arrived at the lake last time. The police officer from Haixi Province, there is A friend works in a school for the blind in Haixi Province. He wanted to help that friend ask. I don’t think you have done much to train'Golden Shining'. The ability to guide the blind depends on you and'Golden Shining' Is it really possible to train? If you can’t train, I will ask your uncle to say no?"
