What It’s Like Being a Vampire

After Xia Libing walked out of the courtyard, he stood still and glanced around. There was no one, no creature, and no strange phenomena.

The phone vibrated again and received a prompt message: "Take a few steps forward."

Xia Libing walked a few steps as instructed and stood directly at the edge of the road outside the door.

The terrain of Chongyun Village is not flat, and they are located at a high place. After coming out of the yard and standing on the other edge of the road, they can see most of the village below, and the village road that has just been repaired not long ago can be seen from a distance. It stretches out everywhere, illuminated by bright street lights on both sides, empty and deserted.

Suddenly, the street lights in the village began to go out from the doorway of where they lived, sweeping away like a black wave.

Soon, the whole village fell into darkness again, with only the lights in each house on.

However, these street lights in Chongyun Village had just been built not long ago. The villagers had long been accustomed to the lack of street lights. In addition, most of them were at home at this time, so they didn't pay much attention to them and no one came out to check.

After most of the street lights in the village were extinguished, at the entrance of the village in the distance, a little white light slowly rose from the ground and exploded in mid-air, making a very soft crackling sound. Dots of flashes dotted the night sky, forming a huge cartoon cat face pattern. .

Then, one after another, light points rose into the sky and exploded.

The patterns that explode are different every time, but they are either cartoon cat patterns, chicken legs, cake patterns, or even a round coin pattern, full of chubby girl style.

It was normal for no villagers to notice when the street lights went out, but what was strange was that the continuous fireworks array that filled the night sky did not attract anyone to go out to watch. Even the yard behind Xia Libing was silent.

Xia Libing had already anticipated this situation. From the moment the first fireworks rose into the sky, she realized:

This is not a real firework, or even an illusion of a wide range of effects. This is Alice's picture transmission only for her, because before the fireworks exploded, Alice had already passed through the pair of "love objects" she left on the dining table. "The chopsticks, and the new wristband she wears on her wrist, create a sensory link.

In other words, this fireworks show is an "illusion" that only she can see, and it is a special performance prepared by Alice for her.

The source of this fireworks show is actually Lao Xia's new wristband. In addition to being able to carry a large number of "super-connected objects", this wristband itself is also a "love object".

And the emotion of making this wristband,

It was the joyful mood that Xiang Kun transferred from the little fat girl when watching the Star City Lantern Festival fireworks.

Lao Xia himself does not have such emotions, so even if this "emotional object" is stimulated, he cannot directly resonate with it.

Alice was transferred through Lao Xia's pair of "emotional objects" chopsticks that resonated emotionally - in Chongyun Village, due to the existence of a large number of "hyper-connected objects" around, the influence of "emotional objects" The range can be greatly increased, and the entire village area is Alice's operating platform.

However, after the transfer, Lao Xia could only see the illusion of emotional projection on the wristband, but could not let Lao Xia directly feel the emotions.

After the fireworks show ended, Xia Libing turned back and looked at Alice standing by the courtyard wall.

At this moment, all the cameras in Chongyun Village that could capture the nearby area froze their images and suspended their work.

Alice, who was wearing a white princess dress, showed a bright and cheerful smile to Xia Libing and said, "Happy birthday, Lao Xia, thank you."

Alice's figure then disappeared, but that bright smile was reflected in Xia Libing's mind.

Alice, who existed as she did when she was a child, had a smile that she had never had before when she was a child.

She knew that Alice's smile came from the joyful emotion of the "love object" on her hand. It was a true perception from deep in her "heart" and a sincere expression of emotion.

Alice, who came from scratch and was born less than a year ago, already has rich emotional perception capabilities and already has such a cheerful smile. What about her?

Xia Libing understood the meaning of Alice's "thank you". One of the main reasons why Alice was able to integrate into the "supersensory object system" so quickly was her "dream within a dream" ability, whether it was with the little fat girl Communication and connection with Little Apple are all initially initiated by "dreams within dreams", not to mention the core ability to transcend the digital world and appear in reality is "fantasy manifestation".

And she also knew what the "birthday gift" Alice gave her was.

Because she was unable to understand "supersensory information" like Alice and Xiang Kun, the illusion of the fireworks show that was exclusive to her, and that bright smile from the heart, were Alice using a method she could understand to The emotions on the wristband were shown to her bit by bit, helping her understand to a certain extent the steps and ways in which such emotions have an impact.

This gift was probably given after a discussion between Alice and Xiang Kun. They both knew what she wanted.

Xia Libing walked back to the yard, paused briefly at the far door, and said softly "Thank you" to where Alice had just appeared.

The next second, the phone vibrated. Xia Libing picked it up and found an expression showing a panda expressing its heart - Alice's reply had obviously been deeply affected by her.

Crossing the yard and walking back to the living room, Xia Libing found that the living room was dark and the lights seemed to be turned off.

She knew this was not caused by a power outage or Alice, because the lights in the yard and on the second floor were still on, and she could already vaguely hear Yang Zhener holding back laughter.

Sure enough, as soon as she walked into the living room, the lights were turned back on, and then people on the left and right of the door held colorful flower tubes and exploded them above her head, and a bunch of sequins came down.

In fact, she could easily avoid it, but when she walked in, she changed her mind and did not avoid it, allowing many fine sequins to fall on her hair and shoulders.

"Lao Xia/Sister Bing/Lao Mei/Li Bing/Xiao Xia! Happy birthday!!"

A group of people all used different names in unison to wish Lao Xia well.

Just when Xia Libing was hesitating whether to show a fake smile to adapt to the atmosphere, Xiang Kun and Tang Baona had already put out the cake with candles, and then Yang Zhener turned off the lights in the living room.

Then the candles on the cake were quickly lit, and everyone asked her to go over and make a wish.

Although he was not used to this situation, Xia Libing still stood in front of the cake and pretended to make a wish.

But since it’s your birthday, and since you’ve made a wish, let’s make a serious wish, “You’re here now.”

So Xia Libing imitated what he had seen before when other people made wishes on their birthdays. He closed his eyes and muttered silently in his heart: Bless you, bless you, build the laboratory completely before the end of the year, understand the cause of Xiang Kun's mutation, and find his emotions. Perception methods, understand the deep influence of the "super-sensory item system", and understand the situation of "divine technology" and other "mutated creatures"...

"Old Xia?" Seeing Xia Libing standing motionless in front of the cake with half-closed eyes for almost a minute, Yang Zhener couldn't help but call out: "You're not asleep, are you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Xia blew out all the candles with a "huh~" sound.

Just when the candles were blown out and the lights were not turned on, Xia Libing felt a strong wind blowing towards his face.

She instinctively wanted to raise her hand to block it, but she immediately realized what was hitting her face. A thought flashed through her mind, and she did not block or dodge. She narrowed her eyes slightly and let the thing hit her face.

So, when the lights in the living room were turned on, everyone saw a ball of cream wrapped in Yang Zhener's hand, which was directly on Lao Xia's face.

Even Yang Zhener herself was stunned for a moment. Apparently she didn't expect that she could succeed in the sneak attack.

But the next moment, a bigger dollop of cream was slapped onto her face, and Lao Xia responded naturally.

Seeing that the two cousins ​​had their faces covered with cream, especially Lao Xia, who had always been light-tempered, and turned into such a funny look, everyone laughed happily.

However, Xia Tianhuo, who had just opened his mouth and hadn't laughed twice, suddenly stopped laughing and turned into a scream, because Lao Xia grabbed a ball of cream and sprinkled it on his face, and most of it was still inside. in the mouth.

Next, Xiang Kun was also slapped in the face by Lao Xia Pia. Of course, he didn't hide on purpose.

Tang Baona realized something was wrong and hurriedly got behind Little Apple. As a result, she was pulled by Yang Zhener, a pig teammate next to her. Then, Xiang Kun, who was smiling evilly, wiped his cheek with a cake.

Looking at the messy cake, the others knew they couldn't eat it, so they all took the opportunity to start a butter fight - in fact, they had just finished the extremely sumptuous dinner, and it was true that no one could eat the cake.

Zicheng wanted to sneak attack Xiang Kun, but was slapped in the face by his girlfriend Chu Xiaoting.

Even Little Apple cunningly moved to the cake, secretly spread a hand of cream, and then smeared it on Professor Li Yang's face.

"Wahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! The sticky hair is on my hair! Uh, it got into my nose..." Yang Zhener wiped the cream on her face and kept laughing.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't wipe it with my clothes!" Tang Baona next to her was wiping the cream on her face. She was happily squeezing a ball of cream and preparing to attack Lao Xia. Suddenly she found Yang Zhener grabbing the knitted fabric she was wearing underneath. Shirt, moved her face up, and was so frightened that she quickly reached out and pushed her face.

"Wait, wait, wait, Lao Xia, don't wipe it off yet! Don't wipe it off, everyone! Take a picture first, take a picture first!" After shamelessly wiping the cream around her eyes on the hem of Nana's knitted sweater, Yang Zhener said nothing. He went to the bathroom to clean up and stopped Xiang Kun from bringing a wet towel to Lao Xia. He hurriedly ran to get his mobile phone to record Lao Xia's rare embarrassing moment and take a "tragic photo" for everyone.

But as soon as she got her phone, she found that there was a video request on Lao Xia's phone, which was also placed on the table. When she saw the name of the person who sent the video request, she immediately picked it up and connected it, then handed it to Lao Xia: "Lao Xia, Lao Xia , it’s aunt!”

Yang Zhener's aunt is naturally Lao Xia's mother.

After the video camera stabilized, Xia Libing's mother on the other side was stunned for two seconds before she realized that the girl with a pile of cream on her face was her daughter.

"Xiaobing...are you...with your cousin?" Xia's mother asked with some uncertainty. She had indeed...never seen her daughter in this state.

Yang Zhener took the initiative to put her head into the camera and greeted Xia's mother: "Hello, aunt! We are celebrating my cousin's birthday! Nana and big guy Xia Tianhuo are also here!"

"Okay, thank you Zhen'er." Xia's mother said with a smile.

Then when she saw Xia Libing taking the towel handed by the person next to her and briefly wiping the cream on her face with a smile that hadn't dissipated yet, Xia's mother couldn't help but be stunned.

It’s not that she has never seen her daughter smile. In fact, after receiving treatment from Dr. Li as a child, her daughter began to actively try and imitate various smiles. However, her daughter’s smiles were obviously imitations and disguises. Both she and her husband seemed a little uncomfortable and awkward, so it was better to be natural and expressionless.

But now the smile that remains on the daughter's eyebrows, corners of her mouth, and cheeks is obviously different. It can be clearly felt that it is a happy smile from the heart.

So, before Xia Libing said a word, Xia's mother was already a little teary-eyed.

Seeing her mother's reaction, Xia Libing was slightly startled, and realized her reaction just now. She subconsciously turned to look at Xiang Kun, who was holding a towel next to her, who smiled and nodded at her.

Xia Libing immediately knew that Xiang Kun's "emotional assimilation" had worked when they were playing around just now, and she also successfully felt the happy emotions.

This emotion was similar to the happy emotion she felt when she and Xiang Kun watched various funny videos together, but it was slightly different. However, even she, who was always good at summarizing and summarizing with data, could not accurately describe the difference. Looking back now, it was as refreshing as drinking a bottle of iced drink after running in the heat and being sweaty and dry. It's like being hungry for days and finally getting a table of crispy pork knuckles to eat at will.

In fact, after receiving Alice's "gift" from outside and returning to the living room, she had some vague plans. Obviously, although he did not say hello in advance, Xiang Kun accurately captured her intention and successfully completed the "emotional assimilation" with great cooperation.

Not only her, but everyone in the living room just now was affected, even Professor Li Yang. The pile of cakes on Little Apple's face was his "masterpiece".

Of course, the success of "emotional assimilation" also involves a certain amount of luck. After all, Xiang Kun must really feel happy and have such strong emotions to be able to produce "emotional assimilation."

Xiang Kun took towels and asked everyone to go to the bathrooms on the second and third floors in batches to clean the cakes. Those who were beaten badly could take a shower and change clothes.

At the same time, it also gave Lao Xia and her mother some space.

Xia Libing took her cell phone to the yard and told her mother opposite and her father who had just come over to sit with her mother about tonight's birthday.

She talked about which friends came to celebrate her birthday, what gifts they gave her, and what she had for dinner. Although her speaking speed was as slow as usual, and her tone and expression were also very calm, Xia's mother and Xia's father They all noticed a slight difference.

Originally, the couple was a little worried that their daughter suddenly no longer worked in the hospital. Without the care of her third aunt, she would become more withdrawn when she went to the countryside. But now it seems that my daughter has undergone very positive changes after working with the bald programmer who is said to cook delicious food.

After finishing the video chat with his parents, Xia Libing did not go back to the house immediately. Instead, he continued to sit in the yard and squinted at the night sky.

She had just received Alice's "gift" and had a preliminary understanding of the emotional projection influence model injected into the wristband by Xiang Kun's emotions. She immediately received the same type of "emotional assimilation", which made her more aware of this kind of emotion. The mechanism of emotions has a more complete experience and understanding.

She should take advantage of this feeling to summarize as much as possible a methodology or model that can be applied to herself.
