What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Next to a pond in Chongyun Village, the environment is beautiful and the scenery is superb. Xiang Kun and others each chose a spot, held fishing rods, and sat fishing.

This pond was originally used by someone in the village to raise fish. Liu Caifu turned it around and connected it to the land and house next to it to build a farmhouse.

Of course, we didn’t really get many guests when we built it before. It was just intended to be a place for old friends from Tongshi Town to come and entertain themselves. It was only used once or twice a year. After being neglected and maintained for a long time, it naturally fell into disrepair. I had to find someone to sort it out first, so I was too lazy to do it.

But in recent times, Tongshi Town and Chongyun Village have great development prospects, and the roads have been repaired. Liu Caifu roped in Chu Xiuwen and prepared to invest more money to tidy up this farmhouse place. Although this will I'm still working on the design and haven't officially started construction yet, but I've already found someone to clean it up, and some things are there before and can be used directly.

It might not be feasible to stay overnight, but fishing, cooking, etc. would be no problem.

Li Yang and Liu Caifu did not participate. The other six people each had a fishing rod, which was enough, and the bait and other things were also ready-made.

But the fishing chairs were not enough. There were only two that could be used. The others could only bring chairs from the house next to them to sit on. When Xiang Kun arrived, there were not even chairs, only stools, so he simply found one. He brought a stone and sat upright.

Yang Zhener looked at Xiang Kun across the pond. He was sitting on the stone under the tree, holding the boom with one hand and stroking the "Golden Shining" standing on his thigh with one hand. He closed his eyes and looked at He woke up as if he were asleep, motionless.

Not only him, but "Golden Shining" covered by his big hands also had his eyes closed and seemed to be asleep.

"Nana, why does Chef Xiang look like a 'disciplined monk'? Still dozing off with his eyes closed?" Yang Zhen'er said suspiciously.

Tang Baona, who was three meters away to her right, also looked up at Xiang Kun and said with a smile: "Xiang Kun is obviously ready for a protracted battle. Are you sure of winning, Zhen'er?"

Before fishing, Yang Zhener made sure that Xiang Kun was fishing for the first time and made a bet with him.

Before 11:30 noon, if Xiang Kun does not catch as many fish as she and Nana put together, then he will not be allowed to call her "Yang Laosan" from now on. Of course, "Lao San" will not be allowed either, and he will owe her three meals.

If Xiang Kun has more fish than the two of them, then Yang Zhener will be responsible for washing the dishes and dishes that they have finished eating today at noon, tonight, and all day tomorrow.

"Nana, just laugh, don't move the pole in your hand, your pole keeps shaking.

How do you get the fish to take the bait? Seriously, we both calculate the results together! This is a war where I bet my ‘real name’! Yang Zhener said dissatisfied.

Tang Baona suppressed a smile and nodded seriously: "Okay, I'll do it."

"What happened to 'Golden Shining'? Why is he motionless? Could it be that he has fainted?" Yang Zhener said, and then said loudly to the little Apple on the other side: "Little Apple, 'Golden Shining' was Uncle Xiang’s Wuzhishan is pressed down and you can’t move, why don’t you go over and have a look...it might kill you!"

But Little Apple smiled and said, "It's okay. 'Golden Shining' originally belonged to Uncle Xiang, and he is very used to it."

Yang Zhener fished for a while, but no fish took the bait. Although she was sitting on one of the only two fishing chairs, which was the most comfortable of all the chairs, she still couldn't sit still. She twisted her body and thought He talked to Nana next to him, but he was afraid that it would affect her fishing, and ultimately their results.

So after looking left and right, she suddenly yelled at Xiang Kun opposite: "Chef Xiang! Jin Shining is shitting!!"

However, Xiang Kun and the "Golden Shining" in his hand remained motionless. On the contrary, Tang Baona and Xia Tianhuo next to them were frightened, and Xia Tianhuo almost threw the fishing rod in his hand.

"I'll go! Yang Laosan! Why are you yelling so hard!" Xia Tianhuo said dissatisfied, "Your temperament is not suitable for fishing at all. You might as well ask Director Liu to borrow a net bag and go fishing in the water!"

Tang Baona also smiled and said, "Zhen'er, if you keep making such a fuss, all the fish in the pond will be scared to Xiang Kun's side."

With that said, Yang Zhener could barely concentrate on fishing quietly.

Of course Xiang Kun was not asleep at this time, nor was the "gold shining" in his hand.

He was actually just using this gap to enter a "super-sensory state" and perform a "super-sensory transformation" on "Golden Shining".

Anyway, except for Lao Xia, no one present would know what he was doing in such a daze. They would only think that he was dozing off.

It was Xiang Kun's long-planned plan to give "Golden Shining" stronger survivability, concealment capabilities and the use of abilities related to the "super-sensory item system" so that it can better serve as Little Apple's "eye in the sky" He initially associated "001" and "002" and conducted experiments on other secondary-associated ant colonies in order to accumulate experience and find a safer and more effective way to transform "Golden Shining".

However, after Alice was fully integrated into the "super-sensory object system", not only did Little Apple have a real "eye of the sky", but "Golden Shining" no longer needed to undergo too much "transformation".

Compared with before, now we only need to give "Jin Shining Shining" the ability to better utilize the "super-sensory item system". It is equivalent to a "software upgrade" rather than a "hardware modification". It is much less complex and safer. Sex is much higher.

Xiang Kun and Lao Xia made two extremely thin anklets a few days ago and wrapped a total of twenty tungsten steel balls in each. Last night, they put the two anklets on "Jin Shining Shining" .

So now Xiang Kun can not only affect "Golden Sparkling" through the "Super Connected Objects" he carries on his body, but the twenty "Super Connected Objects" on his feet can also play a role, and they will also be "Golden Shining" in the future. "The main way to display your abilities.

This kind of transformation cannot be achieved overnight, and it takes time to adjust slowly in stages. Fortunately, Xiang Kun spent a lot of time in contact with "Jin Shining" this time, so there is no need to rush.

According to Xiang Kun's deduction, this "supersensory transformation" is not difficult and basically there will be no problems.

In the future, "Golden Shining" will become a "flying platform" that can help Little Apple, Alice, and even Xiang Kun launch the "super-sensory object system" capabilities.

"Golden Shining" itself is equivalent to an enhanced "hyper-connected object" with autonomous consciousness. Alice can use it and the twenty "hyper-connected objects" it carries to carry out various long-distance effects, such as directly affecting Electronic devices are used to control, hijack, and disguise various wireless signals.

Little Apple can also use "Golden Sparkle", with the help of Alice, to use "Golden Sparkle" itself and those "hyper-connected objects" to implement long-distance "emotional projection", affect the emotions of humans, and create direct projections phantom.

If we make a metaphor, "Golden Shining" is like an aircraft carrier. It has limited combat effectiveness, but the various aircraft it carries have strong combat effectiveness. It only expands the combat range and maneuverability of this "combat effectiveness" sex.

For Little Apple, the future "Golden Shining" can be said to be a "mobile pocket Chongyun Village".

Xiang Kun quickly completed the first stage of transformation of "Golden Shining", then left the "super-sensory state", let go of his hand, let it fly away, and went to play by himself.

Xiang Kun rested for a while, switched to "oxygen-saving mode", and then quietly threw a tungsten steel ball into the pond. He used his water perception and control to detect the fish in the water, and then threw a few more balls. Go down and drive the fish into the area where your bait is.

Regarding the bet with Yang Zhener, he actually didn't care. If he really wanted Yang Zhener to wash so many dishes, he would probably break a lot of dishes.

But then he thought about it, "Yang Laosan" was so easy to call, and it would feel a little uncomfortable if he was not allowed to call him.

So... let's make a secret trick and win this bet.

So, at 11:30, Xiang Kun caught three fish, one for Xia Libing and one for Little Apple. Yang Zhener, Tang Baona and Xia Tianhuo all caught nothing. Yang Zhener was so angry that she almost asked Liu Caifu to catch them in the pond with a net. fish.

However, Yang Zhener, who lost the bet, was not sulky for a while. After eating the braised fish that Xiang Kun made for lunch, he started to smile again.

In the afternoon, while others were experiencing the beautiful countryside nearby under the guidance of Liu Caifu, Xiang Kun took a break and learned about the situation of Zhou Rui and others in Chongyun Mountain, as well as Fangfang Pingfang and others in Wushu Mountain through Alice. .

Under the premise that Alice has basically controlled the internal network of the secret department of "Shenxing Technology", and has laid out the electronic equipment of everyone in Fang Pingfang's team in advance, Xiang Kun wants to understand their movements. If she needs to "super-connect things", "love things" or enter a "super-sensory state", Alice can directly call those devices to understand them clearly and report their situation to Xiang Kun.

Many devices themselves have the function of recording images and sounds.

Although Zhou Rui and the others had direct contact with Xiang Kun and were relatively close to him, in fact the focus of his plan was in the direction of Wu Shushan.

It's not because Fang Pingfang, the leader of this investigation team, is there, but because the place where the "mutated big bird" turned into a bug and burrowed into the ground to escape was in Wushu Mountain - this is a fact that Mr. Liang knows.

Only by making arrangements based on facts can we more effectively witness the overall operating mechanism of the secret department of "Shenxing Technology" and Mr. Liang's reaction.

…

With the help of Alice earlier, Xiang Kun already knew the location of most of the research institutions of the secret department of "Shenxing Technology", as well as the information and materials of most of the researchers, and even the research and core data they were conducting.

But this huge amount of data did not solve his previous questions about the secret department of "Shenxing Technology", "Mr. Liang" and other people behind the scenes who knew the existence of "mutated creatures".

The more you know, the more questions and doubts you have.

The biggest question is: Under the Shouwang Building, in the secret underground three floors further down, on the same floor as the rabbit wood carvings, there are obviously many "mutated creatures", and the various conversations and exchanges between "Mr. Liang" and Mi Qiao It can also be heard that he obviously knows a lot about "mutated creatures", but why does the secret department data obtained by Alice contain no research reports or data related to the exact "mutated creatures"?

Just like what he discovered before, whether it is secret department researchers such as Zhou Rui and Fang Pingfang, or security personnel such as Li Shijue and Gao Shu, "mutated creatures", or "Shenxing Technology" as they are called, There is very little understanding of "blood-eating creatures".

Xiang Kun originally thought it was because he observed too few samples. After all, the secret department of "Shenxing Technology" has many other branches, many related researchers, field staff, and many other teams. Perhaps Fang Pingfang and the others are The authority is relatively small, and perhaps other teams and other researchers have access to more information about "mutated organisms".

But judging from what Alice has learned now, Fang Pingfang's team is already among the few people in the secret department of "Shenxing Technology" who know the most about "mutated creatures" and whose cognitive judgment is closest to the truth. Their internal authority They are also relatively high.

At the same time, Xiang Kun also conducted "dream within a dream" spiritual snooping through Lao Xia, and obtained confirmation from the subconscious minds of Fang Pingfang, Zhou Rui, Mi Qiao and others, their true situation, and the relevant information Alice found on the server. , are all consistent.

In fact, Fang Pingfang, Zhou Rui and others also have many questions about this. Many people vaguely know that the secret department of "Shenxing Technology" is dealing with some kind of unconventional creature, but what kind of creature it is, But no one can be sure.

Taken together, among Fang Pingfang's team, the person who knows the most about "mutated creatures" is actually Mi Qiao, a "newcomer" who has just entered the secret department of "Shenxing Technology" - Fang Pingfang later passed her " Only through popular science can I understand the concept of "blood-eating creatures".

However, even Mi Qiao's information was limited. Most of the things she originally knew from Guo Tianxiang, and through Mr. Liang's explanation, she gained a relatively more systematic understanding.

If the researchers of the secret department are not out in the field to conduct investigation activities, they are more likely to carry out professional in-depth development of non-consumer products for specific needs and non-consumer products based on the original technology of "Shenxing Technology" in various research bases. What the specific needs are, all depends on Mr. Liang.

At the same time, Mr. Liang will often send them some unfinished semi-finished products, requiring them to carry out research and development and tackle problems according to specific needs or directions.

Some of the things that were finally produced have no discernible use at all, and even if some of them can be used in a clear direction, they are still far from practical application. Most of them are still semi-finished products, but Mr. Liang is already satisfied and will arrange for some to be prefabricated. sample.

These include some of the large groups of specially-made drones that Xiang Kun saw in Wushu Mountain that night. According to the design, these drones have obvious flaws, but according to what Xiang Kun observed that night, these drones have obvious defects. What the man-machine showed were all advantages, and no problems that should arise were seen.

Obviously, there are some things in there that are not included in the data and information Alice obtained. Perhaps we need to get a drone or other equipment to dismantle them before we can be sure.

Among the researchers in the secret department, some, like Fang Pingfang and Zhou Rui, will be sent out to perform field missions to investigate incidents where "mutated creatures" are suspected, and sometimes even track and capture them.

In the databases and related materials of the secret department, there are also field personnel who directly encountered strange-looking "mutated creatures" and obtained images and other relevant data. Just like Fang Pingfang and others witnessed the "mutated big bird" late at night in Wushu Mountain a few years ago "It's the same as hunting "mutated ants".

However, the tracking and arrest stages are basically recorded. There are occasional arrests, but there is never any record of catching a "mutant creature". There is no information on substantive research or sample analysis, which is obviously inconsistent with the facts.

The secret department of "Shenxing Technology" has a team that specializes in information collection, information analysis, information guidance, and information control from the media and the Internet. When information about some suspected "mutated creatures" is discovered, Mr. Liang will be notified as soon as possible.

When it is discovered that information is likely to be widely disseminated, some actions will be taken to quickly cut off the source. If it has spread, we will first make it more difficult for other netizens to obtain and identify the information by reducing the popularity, distorting and tampering with the information, and then slowly delete the source of the information to eliminate the possibility of information dissemination with minimal movement.

And not only people from "Shenxing Technology" are doing this, there are also some people abroad who are doing similar behaviors, and the relevant information is also recorded by the information collection team of "Shenxing Technology". Most of them have related information from abroad. Adopt an attitude of monitoring without influencing.

Obviously, there are institutions or organizations similar to "Shenxing Technology" abroad that are also searching for "mutated organisms" and restricting the dissemination of relevant information.

The information collection team of the secret department of "Shenxing Technology" has partially investigated and recorded the information of these foreign institutions or organizations, but it has not been too in-depth, and there is no intention to target or prepare for it, which makes Xiang Kun feel a little strange. .

He asked Alice to follow up on these clues and see what the specific situations of those foreign institutions or organizations were like to obtain more in-depth information.

Basically, each research team, information collection team and specific functional team and organization of the secret department of "Shenxing Technology" all have a fixed person in charge - Mr. Liang.

Almost all information was handed over to Mr. Liang for the final decision. At first, Xiang Kun thought that "Mr. Liang" might also be the code name of a decision-making team, but before leaving Pengcheng City last time, he and Alice determined:

"Mr. Liang" is the invisible and flying "mutated creature" that Xiang Kun glimpsed in Wushu Mountain. He was also the "mutated creature" that took away the "rabbit wood carving". At that time, he was on the third floor below the Shouwang Building. 's secret.

As for assisting Mr. Liang in controlling the entire secret department of "Shenxing Technology", it is a computer AI called "Tai'a".

This computer AI is the same one that Alice managed with three clicks, five and two when she infiltrated and controlled the security system on the third underground floor of Shou Wang Building.

Although it was hit by Alice's dimensionality reduction, "Tai'a" is actually a quite advanced product at the level of artificial intelligence. It can be said to be the "blood vessels" and "meridians" of the entire "Shenxing Technology" secret department. It is the core that connects various organizations and teams. Routine requests and trivial matters will be processed quickly according to Mr. Liang's preset habits, while relatively complex information will be helped to be clearly organized and submitted to Mr. Liang for decision-making.

It has been created and put into use for many years and has undergone many iterations. The development team is also led by Mr. Liang himself and has changed several groups of people. It can be said that Mr. Liang is the product manager of "Tai'a".

But such an important person, such a leader and supervisor who is in contact with almost all the main members of the secret department of "Shenxing Technology", has no identity information, no photos, no place of origin, education, or even any information in the server. Not even a full name.

And it seems that no one in the secret department has actually seen Mr. Liang.

However, Xiang Kun can understand this. He already knows that Mr. Liang is a "mutated creature" that can become invisible, and his appearance is very different from humans. It is the right choice not to have direct face-to-face contact with people.

As for Mr. Liang's name and identity, Xiang Kun also had a guess, and he was very confident, but in the end he still had to ask Alice to confirm it for him.

But compared to Mr. Liang's identity, there was another piece of information that Xiang Kun paid more attention to.

That is, he has confirmed that "Shenxing Technology" does have an official background, and there are even official personnel stationed directly in the secret department, the most of which are in the information collection team.

He even found two people he knew from the personnel information - Zhao Feng and Wang De'an. These two police officers who were previously obsessed with tracking the "eight-armed and eight-eyed monster illusion" have also joined "Shenxing Technology" - they The reason why they joined is probably related to their investigation, because judging from the information found on the server, they were sent to Burma some time ago to investigate the group hallucination incident in Menta Mira on the night of March 8th.

The one that has in-depth docking and cooperation with "Shenxing Technology" is a department that cannot be found in any official external information - the "National Abnormal Biology Research Center".

The person in charge is He Haomin. Most of the personnel are in the secret department of "Shenxing Technology" and have dual identities. Judging from the data storage situation, Mr. Liang is obviously very clear about their identities.

It seems that the secret department of "Shenxing Technology" is the official vest.

However, Alice analyzed the relevant data and information and concluded that the cooperation between the "National Abnormal Biological Research Center" and "Shenxing Technology" was much later than the establishment of the secret department of "Shenxing Technology".

From this perspective, "Shenxing Technology" is more like being recruited or absorbed halfway?

But why should a private company conduct these surveys and studies?

If it were just for confidentiality, the officially non-existent "National Center for Abnormal Biology Research" should be enough.

Mr. Ruoliang and "Shenxing Technology" have obtained official endorsement and cooperation because they have already had some officially recognized survey and research results, or they are large enough and have sufficient resources, and have gained great autonomy. right.

Then Xiang Kun believes that he can do the same.

By now, Xiang Kun has clearly understood that he is very different, even among "mutated creatures".

As long as he is given time, he can do much better than Mr. Liang and "Shenxing Technology", especially now with Alice's help, as Alice continues to evolve, his "Super Connected Things" "There are more and more "emotional objects", and the related derivative capabilities of the "super-sensory object system" are becoming more and more abundant and powerful. Its value to the official will definitely become greater and greater.

But before that, he must first understand the problem - why "Shenxing Technology", official departments, and even relevant foreign institutions and organizations are trying their best to cover up the existence of "mutated organisms", even to their own The researchers were secretive, but they were asked to investigate related events.

Only by understanding this issue can he determine what posture and method he will use to contact Mr. Liang and He Haomin.

There are several ways he explores the answers to his questions:

First, through Alice, he obtained the data in the special separate storage device in the secret space below the third underground floor of Shouwang Building. Xiang Kun believed that there was a high probability that he could find the answer;

Secondly, in Chongyun Mountain and Wushu Mountain, we used the information of the secondary derived ant colonies and the temporarily disappeared "mutated big bird" as bait to guide Fang Pingfang's team, "Shenxing Technology" and Mr. Liang to conduct a substantial investigation. "Mutant creature" investigation to find out the real operation behind it;

Third, start with Mr. Liang and He Haomin themselves, and conduct multi-dimensional snooping and investigation with the help of Alice and Lao Xia.
