What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Xiang Kun understood that when Lao Xia summoned Alice just now, he wanted to let the two of them try to find out how the four people felt after being scared.

However, he had seen the image of "Little Old Xia" so many times, and he was very familiar with it. How could he feel frightened? Looking at the blank expression of "Little Old Xia" and holding the scalpel, he was at a loss. It even looks a bit silly and cute.

As for Lao Xia herself, she would naturally not be frightened by the Alice she summoned.

Of course, Lao Xia didn't know that the fundamental reason why others would be frightened was Alice's sudden appearance and disappearance, but looking back on the past, she had different reactions to similar experiences, and there was no way she could empathize with her "frightened" reaction. .

Turning on the light in the living room again, after listening to Lao Xia's description, Xiang Kun also remembered the night when he just woke up after the blood-drinking period. He wanted to scare Lao Xia and poured water from the cup on her. Not only did he not She was so frightened that she didn't even move to dodge or close her eyes.

Generally speaking, for ordinary people, even if they know that Xiang Kun is very measured and cannot hurt himself, closing his eyes, raising his hands, or dodging when he sees a glass of water being thrown at him are all instinctive reactions.

Lao Xia was able to keep his eyes open without dodging, which was indeed extraordinary.

Looking at Xia Libing sitting on the bed talking to her, Xiang Kun suddenly had a few more thoughts, so he stood up and poured a glass of water in. In the process of handing the water glass to Lao Xia, he suddenly let go.

The cup filled with more than half of the cold water fell to the ground. When it was about to touch the ground, Xiang Kun quickly leaned over, caught the cup firmly with his other hand, stood up and put it in Lao Xia's hand.

He had been observing Lao Xia the whole time, and then discovered that Lao Xia did not have any frightened reaction. Although his eyes kept following the glass of water, his body did not react at all, and there was no subconscious movement to move forward to save the water glass.

Xiang Kun asked, "You know I won't drop the cup?"

Xia Li Bingliu took a sip of water, put the water glass on the bedside table, and then said, "Yes, if you dropped the glass, it must have been intentional."

Xiang Kun suddenly took action, and a small ball of paper flew out quickly, accurately hitting Lao Xia Guangjie's forehead, and then fell to the ground.

But during this process, Lao Xia still did not dodge or be frightened. He just fixed his gaze on the paper ball that fell to the ground - which Xiang Kun secretly hid in his pocket when he went to pour water.

Xiang Kun quickly reached out his hand, "attacked" Lao Xia's cheek, and then pinched her left cheek accurately and gently.

Lao Xia looked up at him with no doubts in his eyes, obviously understanding his intention.

Xiang Kun retracted his hand and said, "Are you really not hiding or blocking?"

"I know you are observing and testing my instinctive reaction, so I am also doing my most natural reaction." Xia Libing said.

"If it were not me, but someone else, such as your cousin, how would you react if the cup in her hand slipped?" Xiang Kun asked.

He does not think that Lao Xia always relies on reason and thinking to decide actions, because many reactions cannot be made "over the head", otherwise people will appear very slow, with poor athletic ability, and very Obviously, Lao Xia is not only not slow, but also has very strong athletic ability. From her previous "interaction" with Yang Laosan, the time she took action against the human traffickers, her reaction when encountering two fugitives in Chongyun Mountain, and other life From observation, her reactions are very fast.

Sure enough, after listening to his hypothesis, Lao Xia stretched his feet from the ground and shrank onto the bed.

"At that distance, I definitely can't save her. My instinctive reaction is to avoid being splashed by the water. But if I realize in advance that the cup in her hand is going to fall, I may make a prediction and take action to catch the cup." Xia Li Bing said.

"What if someone else poured water on you?" Xiang Kun asked again.

"Of course I'm avoiding it," Xia Libing replied matter-of-factly.

Just as he was talking, the speaker behind Xiang Kun made a metallic knocking sound, as if something was shooting out from there.

Xia Libing subconsciously tilted her body in front of Xiang Kun, as if she was using him as a shield...

But she immediately realized that the sound was coming from a computer speaker. Then she looked at Xiang Kun, who was motionless, and immediately realized something: "Is it Alice? Is it also an experiment?"

Xiang Kun nodded: "When I went to pour water, I secretly confessed to Alice and tested it. Didn't you feel scared at that moment just now?"

Xia Libing shook his head: "No."

Xiang Kun now understood that Lao Xia just didn't react to his sudden behavior, not to all sudden changes.

Moreover, during those conditioned reflexes that would cause fright in normal people, her body would also experience an instantaneous improvement in function, but she would not have the kind of emotional perception that ordinary people would have after being frightened.

This is why Lao Xia just asked about "the subsequent emotional changes after being frightened."

But there is a problem here. Since Lao Xia has conditioned reflexes when she is frightened and attacked, there should be no way for her to not react when facing Xiang Kun but react when facing other people, because in that place In the flash of lightning, the instinctive reaction is above thinking.

It's as if someone told you that he won't really hit you, but when his fist hits your eyes, you still subconsciously close your eyes, let alone the water directly thrown on your face.

Xiang Kun immediately realized that the reason why Lao Xia was able to do this was not only due to her subjective understanding of her trust and ability, but also may be related to her connection with the "supersensory object system".

This connection allowed her body to completely trust Xiang Kun.

It's as if you control your fist to hit your eyes and stop in front of your eyes, so you can easily avoid dodging or blinking.

Xiang Kun told Lao Xia his speculation, and the latter agreed.

But when he was about to finish speaking, Lao Xia suddenly jumped up from the bed, clenched his right hand into a claw, and slapped him in the face.

Looking at Lao Xia's right hand hovering in front of him, Xiang Kun said with a smile: "You are too slow. I noticed it as soon as you wanted to raise your hand and your body moved. When your hand was almost in front of me, your biceps and forearm I can clearly see the tendency of muscles to tighten and hold back, so there is no way to scare me. Besides, I have rough skin and thick flesh, so if you punch me with all your strength, I will be fine."

Lao Xia retracted his hand naturally and asked, "Have you been scared recently?"

"Actually, I am often scared..." Xiang Kun said helplessly, "But if you are scared, you should know...most of them are more physiological and instantaneous reactions. After the instantaneous fright reaction, according to the specific situation, It turns into fear, fear, worry and other related emotions. My brain judges the situation too quickly now, so it is basically difficult to experience the subsequent emotions. I probably won't have the reactions of the four people just now.

"It's like when 'Little Bell' sent me a 'Help!' voice. I was frightened for a moment after hearing it, and I immediately judged from her voice that she was not in any danger. So even if I was A momentary shock should hardly produce an 'emotional assimilation' effect."

When he said this, the speaker not far behind Xiang Kun sounded again, this time it was Alice's normal voice: "Boss, I also want to be 'scared'."

Xiang Kun was stunned for a moment, and he and Lao Xia looked at the main computer box against the wall of the room.

"It's easy for you." Xiang Kun smiled, flipped the palm of his right hand, and a coin flew from the cabinet in the distance, then another, and another, and one after another coins landed on his palm. Stack up.

The lights in the living room began to dim. Although Alice's computer was connected to UPS and was not affected, she immediately shouted: "It's okay, boss! I'm scared!"

It is too easy to frighten Alice, who is particularly afraid of death.

Xiang Kun put the coin away with his backhand and asked in the direction of the chassis: "Is there any difference between the two subsequent 'co-appearances' and the first time?"

"It makes no difference, boss," Alice replied.

Then she immediately said: "Boss, I need more data on connection protocols and connection rules. I need more 'hardware' usage rights and supporting support."

Of course, Xiang Kun knew that the "hardware" she was talking about was not related electronic equipment, but "super-connected objects" and "emotional objects" that helped her temporarily connect to the "super-sensory object system".

"Lao Xia and I will make a plan to enter reality through 'Fantasy Together'. You don't have to think too much for the time being. All related problems cannot be solved in a short time. You first go through Lao Xia's 'dream within a dream'" Adapt to it, find ways to better integrate into it, and have a deeper connection. When I help you make a few exclusive "super-connected objects" during the next blood-drinking period, it should be able to help you have more "super-sensory object systems" 's authority is truly integrated into the 'super-sensory item system'." Xiang Kun explained.

"Okay, boss!" Alice's voice was cheerful.

Lao Xia glanced at the phone and said to Xiang Kun, "Zhen'er asked you in the group whether your phone has been repaired. She has something to ask you."

Before Xiang Kun could say anything, his new phone vibrated. After looking at the incoming call reminder, he smiled at Lao Xia and said, "It's your cousin. Okay, no need to reply in the group, just call me directly."

"Chef Xiang! Your phone can finally be connected!" As soon as the phone was connected, Yang Zhener's clear voice sounded with excitement and a hint of suspicion.

But immediately she heard a "Shh~" from the side. It was obviously Tang Baona reminding her not to shout too loudly as it was already late.

Xiang Kun smiled and said: "My mobile phone is broken, and even the card is invalid. I just went to get a new card today. What's the matter, do you have a problem with me so late?"

"The phone is broken again? Chef Xiang, I remember your phone broke down not long ago! Are you a cell phone terminator? And you actually ask if there is anything wrong with you? Brother! Nana and I went to Pengcheng to help you You're doing business! Didn't you say you were paying attention to the progress and asking about the situation during the whole process?" Yang Zhener over there lowered her voice after Tang Baona reminded her, but the excitement in her tone could still be clearly heard.

Xiang Kun said: "Because I believe in you, of course, mainly because I believe in Nana."

"We'll talk about this later. Let me ask you first, where have you been these past few days? Why is your phone broken?" Yang Zhener asked.

"Didn't Lao Xia tell you that I went to Nande City?" Xiang Kun said.

"What did you do in Nande City? Before you left, did you know that 'Big Man'... was the kidnapping of cousin Lao Xia?" Yang Zhener asked immediately.

"I know."

"Then you go to Nande City. Well... Nande City is not far from the Myanmar border. Is this why you went there?"

"yes."

"It's useless for you to deny it! I have information from secret channels and know your whereabouts in Nande City... Huh? Wait, what did you just say?" Yang Zhener realized that Xiang Kun was halfway through speaking. The reply was the opposite of what she expected.

Xiang Kun smiled and said: "I heard Lao Xia say that you found out that I joined a secret organization and could perform tasks in exchange for the qualification to use superpowers? Alas, you actually found out such secrets.

"That's right! I did join a secret organization by chance. This time I went to Nande City to save my old cousin Xia.

"Our organization has a super giant with eight arms and eight eyes. I asked him to wander around Myanmar. He found brother Xia Tianhuo and rescued him. Then there happened to be a riot in Menta Mira. By the way, it also calmed down a bit. Have you seen the news? Aren’t you majestic?

"Zhen'er, I don't care how you found out, this is super secret!

"If you reveal it, I will be in danger. You must keep it secret!"

…

In Pengcheng City, in the hotel room, after Yang Zhener ended the call with Xiang Kun, he looked at the IPAD on the table filled with dense, maze-like process maps in a daze.

For the past two days, she had been studying how to "dig out" Chef Xiang's secret, how to find out his previous whereabouts and his "true identity."

She carefully considered it for a long time and spent a long time envisioning various conversation modes with Xiang Kun, and then divided them into eighteen stepped questions. Under each question, multiple possible answers to Xiang Kun were preset. Then each answer corresponds to a variety of response methods, and then Xiang Kun's response is guessed and a response plan is made.

Yang Zhener felt that she had made all preparations and could definitely use her talking skills to fish out the secrets hidden by Chef Xiang, so she started to try to call Chef Xiang directly.

Chef Xiang, who had been out of contact for several days, finally had his cell phone connected again.

But when she confidently started walking according to the planned plan and routine, Xiang Kun jumped out of the various paths she designed at the third intersection and landed at the end!

This was beyond her expectation. Among all the routes and possibilities she designed, there was no option to directly admit it to the chef!

Her original idea was that she and Chef Xiang would battle with wits and finally dig out Chef Xiang's secrets bit by bit, and then force him to reveal more information, and then use this information to push more the truth.

Next to her, Tang Baona smiled from ear to ear when she saw Yang Zhener, who was frowning and looking solemn, holding a mobile phone in one hand and an iPad in the other, looking left and right. She couldn't help but pick up the phone. Her appearance was photographed.

"What are you doing?" Yang Zhen'er asked strangely when she heard the sound of Nana's cell phone filming.

Tang Baona smiled and said: "Zhen'er, your serious look is so cute! Why, with your 'Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon', you still didn't let Xiang Kun confess and be lenient?"

"I admitted it to the chef." Yang Zhener said helplessly.

"Huh?" Tang Baona was also a little stunned.

"He admitted that he was a member of a secret organization. He completed various tasks and obtained the right to use special abilities. He also invited the eight-armed monster. He did it to save the 'big guy' and then defeated Montamira by the way. Riot... He said that all my guesses were correct." Yang Zhener frowned and said, "I'm a little confused now. Did he really admit it to the chef, or was he deliberately teasing me?"

Tang Baona was stunned for a moment, then she held her stomach and started laughing. She even laughed so hard that her voice couldn't come out, and she rolled around on the bed.

"Nana, what are you doing! I really can't tell! You don't know, when he said those words to the chef, his tone was really serious. I really feel... he seems... like There is a chance that you are serious! Hey, stop laughing!" Yang Zhener threw herself on the bed and controlled Tang Baona who was rolling around.

Tang Baona took off her glasses, wiped her eyes, and gasped: "Wait a minute, say what you just said again, I want to record it with my mobile phone, um... I will use it to interrogate Xiang Kun later. .”

After Tang Baona made such a fuss, Yang Zhener felt that she might have thought too much just now, and Xiang Kun's words were just to tease her on purpose!

Although Yang Zhener still feels that even if the "rhetoric plan" fails this time, it does not prove that there is no problem with Chef Xiang. He must be hiding some secrets, and something must have happened during the days when he loses contact every once in a while. Something special happened!

And following Xiang Kun, Lao Xia, who has MAX insight, must have discovered something.

But Lao Xia didn't know whether it was because she was bribed by Chef Xiang or for other reasons, so she refused to tell her what she had discovered.

No, I still have to ask Nana to help.
