What It’s Like Being a Vampire

The man who claims to be Lao He looks like he is about fifty years old, combing his back and head properly, but he is not specifically dyed black, and has mostly white hair mixed in between.

He didn’t wear any uniform. He was wearing a set of dark suits that looked good in materials, cuts, and shapes, but he had obviously been in a dark suit for some years. The leather shoes and belts looked good, very durable, but not quite similar. The appearance of the brand.

Lao He also brought a watch that only didn't match the dressing style. The appearance looked very strange. It was neither like a traditional electronic watch, nor a sports bracelet or ordinary smart watch. It had a huge main dial with a screen. Next to it, where the strap is attached, there are two sub-dials that are only 1/4 the size of the main dial, which looks more like some special-purpose tools.

As soon as they entered the conference room, Zhao Feng and Wang De'an instinctively observed Lao He, but they could not tell from these external characteristics what Lao He was from, which department and unit he was from.

However, judging from the attitude of the leader of the task force towards Lao He, it is clear that Lao He should be higher than him at least in terms of rank and status.

After the leader called the two of them, he greeted Lao He again, and left the conference room to let them talk to Lao He alone.

Zhao Feng and Wang De'an looked at each other, and their hearts jumped—even the leaders of the task force had to avoid them. What did they want to talk about?

"Xiao Zhao, Xiao Wang, come, sit down, be casual, sit here, and talk." Lao He said with a smile, his brows and eyes were smiling, and he seemed to be very talkative and gentle.

After the two of them sat down, Lao He didn’t say much, and cut directly into the subject, saying: "I heard the leaders of you two say... Oh, it’s not Lao Li, but Lao Han and Lao Xu, saying that you seem to be investigating Some hallucinations that the suspect saw in the previous case?"

What Lao He referred to as "Lao Li" was the leader of the task force, while "Lao Han" and "Lao Xu" were the leaders of Wang Dean in Pancheng and Zhao Feng in Xitong.

"We just think that there are some subtle similarities between the hallucinations produced by the suspects in the two cases. Maybe there are some external connections that we haven't figured out yet. So after work, in our free time, discuss , Exchange ideas, just pure curiosity." Zhao Feng said, considering the sentence.

Wang De'an nodded in agreement and said: "They are all discussed after get off work..." Then he added: "Both cases are closed."

He smiled and nodded, and said, "Then have you investigated anything?"

The two young police officers looked at each other again, and then continued with Zhao Feng's speech: "For the time being...there is no definite evidence yet."

He still did not dare to tell Lao He that he was guided by the "eight-armed eight-eyed monster" in his dream and went to Zihuan Mountain to find a few corpses, because this sounded too untrue, and it might make the leader think that he had mental problems. .

Lao He said, "Did you see the news about Montamira in Myanmar today on the Internet?"

"You mean... Montamira's riot?" Zhao Feng said tentatively.

Lao He nodded and said: "In the Montamira riot, some unfriendly forces behind us have secretly spoiled and contributed to the flames, but the end result was that they were self-reliant and exposed the people behind them. I will definitely be more vigilant to them in the future. They are stealing chickens and not loosing rice. But what I want to talk to you about is not this issue, but the monster that appeared in Montamira that many people are discussing on the Internet. 'Or the'Giant' illusion. According to many people's descriptions, that illusion has eight arms and eight eyes. Is it a bit similar to the illusion that the suspects in the two cases you are investigating saw?"

"It's very similar." Zhao Feng told the truth. When he and Wang De'an saw the news about Montamira on the Internet, they immediately connected with what they were investigating.

Wang Dean couldn't help asking: "Leader, do you know what that thing is?"

Lao He smiled at him: "Don't call the leader, just call me Lao He. I don't know what that thing is, and I'm also very curious. So I want to ask you if you are interested, join us, and investigate this together. Matter? Um... the next thing to talk about, you have to sign a related non-disclosure agreement, right?"

He said, pushing a folder on the next table.

Zhao Feng and Wang De'an immediately got together, carefully looked at the two agreements in the folder, and after discussing a few sentences in a low voice, they both suppressed a little excitement, took the pen and signed their name.

Lao He didn't look at the two signed agreements. He threw the folder on the table next to him and said with a smile: "Formally introduce myself. My name is He Haomin. I am the director of the National Center for Abnormal Biology Research.

"In nominal terms, we are the'Biotechnology Development Center' under the Ministry of Science and Technology, but in fact, we have other senior leaders directly connected to each other. What we are doing requires a high degree of confidentiality, so you are in various external On the official website, the name of our organization could not be found.

"The main thing we do, as the name suggests, is to study some'unusual creatures'. We have reason to suspect that the illusion that you two investigated before and the illusion that appeared in Montamira last night are all caused by a certain'unusual. It’s a special state created by an “exceptional organism”, or it is a special state of an “exceptional organism”.

"Originally, under normal circumstances, you can take one or two days to consider it, but this time it is a bit special. My plan is to send you to Montamilla this time to investigate if you are willing to join."

Both Zhao Feng and Wang Dean were a little surprised, and they discussed in a low voice, and both were inclined to accept them. They were indeed curious about this "abnormal biological research center".

But before agreeing, Zhao Feng still asked a question: "May I ask...how did you notice us both?"

He didn’t think that Old Xu and Wang De’an’s previous leader and partner Han Police would take the initiative to report their incidents to the “Abnormal Biology Research Center”. Even Old Han and Old Xu should be the same as everyone else, and they didn’t know that there was such a department. exist.

Lao He said: "Chen Tianhua...or Mi Qiao, I noticed you when Erythrina was caught by you."

The two of them were shocked when they heard the words, and then immediately understood that when they were in Xitong, the leader guaranteed that Mi Qiao's identity was fine, because there was Lao He or his research center behind him.

"Is she yours?" Wang Dean asked subconsciously.

"It can be said that it is, or it can be said that it is not." Lao He said, "Yes, our specific research and investigation on'unusual organisms' are done together with a certain company, or mainly based on that company. Come, our intelligence is more about assistance, supervision and safety assessment. Like if you two are willing to join, after completing the formalities, your establishment will be secretly transferred to the "Non-state Biology Research Center", but on the surface Above, when you act externally, you will have an identity arranged by another company, and you will cooperate with the company’s relevant investigators. And Mi Qiao, not a person from the'center', but a person from the company."

Both of them were a little confused, and Zhao Feng subconsciously said: "What company? Is it a subordinate institution of the center?"

Why always laugh and keep silent.

Zhao Feng froze for a moment, and immediately understood, and said, "We are both willing to join."

Wang De'an also nodded in agreement.

He didn't come up with any agreement or something for them to sign immediately. It seemed that he already trusted their verbal agreement and said, "It is'Shenxing Technology'. As for its relationship with the center, you don't need to care. After joining, , You are no longer the police. Remember, you only have relevant investigative powers outside, but you have no law enforcement powers. Any information and data about “unusual organisms” obtained from investigations must be submitted to the “center” or “god Researchers who interact with you on Science and Technology’s are not allowed to leak or deal with violations without authorization. For specific regulations, someone will give you specific introductions and training later. Of course, it must be after this mission. If someone is with you, just ask him if you have any questions, and he will make sure everything is in compliance."

Seeing that the two of them were still confused and a little confused, Lao He added: "Investigate, collect, and report. This is what you are going to do now. Do not intervene in the specific'research' part, stay curious, and don't With excessive curiosity, abiding by relevant regulations and confidentiality agreements, and performing a task, I almost understand."

...

At about 12 noon, Xia Libing got up from the computer, put the "cake01" notebook in his pocket, took the chopsticks made by Xiang Kun, and walked to the kitchen.

She opened the refrigerator, took out a few pieces of rabbit meat from the freezing layer and put them in the microwave to thaw.

In the corner of the kitchen, there are actually several cages piled up, occupying most of the kitchen. There are more than 20 meat rabbits in them. He contacted the small truck in the morning and brought them back from the place where he bought the meat rabbits from Kun last time.

However, these rabbits were reserved for Xiang Kun to drink blood.

There was a lot of rabbit meat left by Xiang Kun when he was drinking blood in her place last month.

The thawed rabbit meat was simply chopped into small pieces. Xia Libing boiled the pot of water, and put the rabbit meat down and covered the pot to cook. Except for sprinkling a little salt, he didn't make any seasoning.

When I thought it was almost cooked, I took it to the living room and started eating.

From last night to now, in order to ensure that Xiang Kun can sense her "like emotions" through "love objects" at any time, so as to suppress the urge to drink blood and stay sensible and awake, she has not slept.

Although she can enter the "world of consciousness" by borrowing "cake01" to alleviate sleepiness, it is impossible for her to stay in the "world of consciousness" all the time, so she did not choose to order a meal at noon, nor did she just cook instant noodles. Choose to eat only rabbit meat-avoid high-carb foods, so that it is not easy to get sleepy after eating.

However, she still underestimated the unpalatability of the boiled rabbit meat that she made. After a few bites, she could only take the "crispy pork knuckle", boil the rabbit meat by taking a bite of water, and then take a bite of "crispy" "Skin pork knuckle" way to solve lunch.

Just as Xia Libing was about to finish eating a pot of unpalatable rabbit meat through her own "wit" and "ability", the light in the living room that hadn't been turned on suddenly turned on, and then immediately turned off again, and immediately On, off immediately, on, off, on, off, pause for a while, then start to stay on for a second, then off, then on again...

If it's an ordinary person, let alone a girl, it's just a man. Even if it's noon now, he should have numbness on his scalp and chills on his back, thinking that something has happened to him.

However, as the first and only person who knew Xiang Kun's secret, Xia Libing reacted immediately - this was Xiang Kun's signal to her.

Although she never called Xiang Kun directly, she never responded to the message she sent. She guessed that Xiang Kun's mobile phone might have been used on a large scale during the "Eight Arms and Eight Eyes Wood Carving" emotional projection in Montamilla. When something went wrong, it was no longer available, otherwise it is unlikely that she has not been contacted.

Now it seems that this should be the way Xiang Kun contacted her.

After the light in the living room flashed more than a dozen times, Xia Libing realized that this was a Morse code.

She and Xiang Kun have set a few simple communication passwords, but those passwords are either through records, or through language and Chinese characters, but there is no mention of using Morse passwords.

But the Morse code is a very common, simple and ubiquitous signal code. She knows that Xiang Kun must understand it, and Xiang Kun also knows that she must understand it, so it does not need to be ventilated beforehand.

Xia Libing didn't use paper to take notes, and directly used the flashing signal of the lights in the living room to record in his head.

After a while, she found that Xiang Kun used the living room lighting to express five letters in a circle:

B, W, M, J, P

This is obviously not a complete pinyin, nor a complete English, but Xiang Kun does not need to add another layer of secret in this case.

Xia Libing thought for a while, picked up the phone, opened the WeChat chat box with Xiang Kun, and input these letters using the Pinyin input method, and got two cloud words:

"Buy me a plane ticket", "Help me buy a chicken chop".

Obviously, what Xiang Kun wants to express is the former meaning.

Xia Libing immediately opened the ticket purchase app and used Xiang Kun's name and ID number to purchase a ticket for the nearest flight from Nande City to Zitong City.

...

At Nande Airport, Xiang Kun, who was sitting on the bench next to the entrance, exited from the "super-sensing state", waited for a few minutes, then got up and successfully obtained the boarding pass with his ID card.

Indeed, as Xia Libing guessed, his mobile phone was severely damaged during Montamira’s previous emotional projection call, and it could not be turned on. Even the phone card was GG. On the one hand, he is in a hurry and does not want to reissue a mobile phone card in Nande, on the other hand, he does not have enough cash.

When he was at the airport, he originally wanted to borrow the mobile phone of the airport staff to call Lao Xia and ask her to help buy the nearest air ticket. As for the mobile phone card or something, he would wait until he returned.

He has also passed the positioning of Lao Xia’s "super-linked objects" coin~www.novelmtl.com~ knowing that she is still in the home where she lived before in Citong City, and he has also speculated that she hopes that after she comes back, Tongshi drank blood, so she planned to let her buy the earliest air ticket to Erythrina.

However, when Xiang Kun saw the flashing lights repairing a certain indicator light by the airport ground crew, he got an idea, and entered the "super-sensing state", passing through the multiple "super-connected objects" around Lao Xia, In the light to influence, try to pass Morse code.

The letters expressed in the Morse code cycled six times, and when she found Lao Xia picking up her mobile phone in a "super-sensing state", Xiang Kun understood that she knew what she meant.

Lao Xia deserves to be Lao Xia, and she really didn't let him down.

However, Xiang Kun is still a little dissatisfied with his abilities. He now has a way to remotely influence electronic products such as mobile phones or computers through “super-connected things” in the “super-sensing state”. If it can be precisely controlled, It's much easier to open the text directly on the computer or mobile phone and display the text you want to express.

It is a pity that his control is still too rough to perform such a precise and precise operation. It is estimated that he can only influence by turning off and turning on the screen.
