What It’s Like Being a Vampire

　　 Chapter 51 Three Experiments (Part 2)

　　 After more than a minute, Xiang Kun filled all four vessels with stuff and plugged them.

　　 Then set up the phone and start shooting.

　　 The first glassware numbered X-001 contained 20 milliliters of blood.

　　 The second glassware numbered R-001 contained a small piece of fleshy meat weighing about 3 or 4 grams.

　　 The third number K-001 is a mouthful of saliva in the glassware.

　　 In the fourth glassware numbered T-001, you have to look carefully to find a black hair-that is a leg hair.

　　 These four things have one thing in common, they all come from Xiang Kun.

　　 Yes, he bleeds himself and cuts the meat again, and this time he directly hit his thigh and cut a piece of meat larger than the last time.

It stands to reason that when he was fighting the giant owl, Xiang Kun suffered much more serious injuries than he cut such a small piece of meat. It is likely that he would just belch when he was replaced by an ordinary person, but perhaps he was not focused on himself at the time. , The reason for the large secretion of adrenaline, the pain is far less than it is now.

　　 After gritting his teeth and cutting off the piece of meat, Xiang Kun hurt his cheek muscles and began to twitch uncontrollably, and cursed himself a few stupid words...

　　 But what should I do, just keep on doing it.

　　 The pain came and went quickly, and he quickly focused his attention on the glassware.

When testing the recovery speed of the wound, he cut off a piece of meat the size of a rice grain on the belly of his little finger, and it turned into a powder before long. It also made him notice that it took a while after his blood left his body. This change will happen.

　　 But at that time, Xiang Kun didn't realize that such a phenomenon would happen, so he only paid attention to observing the wound, instead of observing the whole process of meat and blood changes, and no video.

　　 After encountering that giant owl, he found that the feathers dropped by the owl would disappear. After the body disappeared, Xiang Kun became interested in this phenomenon again.

　　Although the owl has "no bones left" and there is no time to go back and "act" for him again, he can observe himself.

　　 Time passed by every minute.

　　 The wound on his thigh was healing rapidly, and the contents of several sealed glassware began to change.

The most intuitive thing is the piece of meat and blood. It is obvious that the blood begins to coagulate, and then the color first becomes extremely dark, and then begins to lighten. The same is true for the piece of meat. The volume shrinks a bit, from dark red to Dark gray transition.

　　 The saliva on the other side has become clearer, but the volume is also significantly reduced.

　　 Only that leg hair did not change in any way, and the place where Xiang Kun’s leg hair was cut did not repair itself like the injured skin and muscles and re-grow the hair.

When the electronic watch that Xiang Kun bought in the morning showed that it was 00:10:57, the wound on the thigh had been completely healed, and the piece of meat he cut was still slowly changing, and it had become a bit like a block. The stone is gone, and the blood becomes like a pile of dark gray viscous fine sand.

　　 The saliva almost disappeared, only a thin layer of dark powder spread on the bottom of the vessel.

　　 And the leg hair that had been thought to be almost unchanged has also undergone significant changes-the color has faded and turned into... a gray or nearly white leg hair?

After another few minutes, the meat had become like a piece of sandstone. Xiang Kun flicked the glass wall with his fingers, and the slight vibration caused the "stone" to collapse instantly, turning into powder and spreading on the bottom. .

　　 The blood in the X-001 vessel also turned into a pile of gray powder, and its volume was reduced many times compared to the original state of blood.

　　 The saliva in the K-001 vessel is completely gone, there is no liquid left, only a small amount of gray powder.

　　 Even the leg hair in T-001 has no "hairiness", only a gray mark that is almost invisible. Xiang Kun picked up the utensil and shook it a little bit, and the "trace" gathered into a small pile of gray powder, but it was very light, and it was scattered in the bottle at once.

The time on the digital watch is 00:14:46. Although he didn't count the time when he cut off the meat on the belly of his little finger last time, his wound recovery time was 13 minutes, and his piece of meat was completely turned into powder. After that, it was probably this time period.

　　 So it can be judged that the time for the isolated body tissue to turn into a small gray powder did not increase correspondingly because of the increase in the speed of his wound healing.

　　 The four bottles in front of me now, except for their weights, are basically indistinguishable. They all seem to be exactly the same gray powder.

　　 If I change someone, I definitely can't recognize what the gray powder of these four bottles is transformed from.

　　 On the four sealed bottle labels, except for the four serial numbers, Xiang Kun only marked today's date and nothing else.

　　It is naturally impossible for others to guess. The number X represents blood, the number R represents flesh and blood, the number K represents saliva, and the number T is the hair of the legs...

　　 Looking at the powder in the four bottles, Xiang Kun's eyes were a little complicated.

　　 There was a question in his heart: "Am I still a human being..."

　　 When Xiang Kun smelled the scent of the giant owl, he once went to the zoo to collect the scents of various animals in order to determine which animal the "special scent" belongs to.

　　 At the time in the zoo, he had seen owls, and he had noted the smell of owls.

　　 But he was quite sure that the scent left by that giant owl and the scent of owls he smelled in the zoo were completely different.

　　 This point was confirmed once again after Xiang Kun found other owls of the same species in the mountains a few days ago-after the mutation, the owl no longer belongs to the owl species in terms of smell.

　　 Maybe, after so many mutations, I have become farther and farther away from humans?

However, this somewhat complicated and weird emotion only existed for less than a few seconds before being driven out of his mind by Xiang Kun. He has neither deformed organs, nor decayed body or sickness to get out of bed, but instead The bodily functions have been greatly improved. If there is any more self-pity, it would be too hypocritical.

　　 Xiangkun picked up the four bottles and shook them. After confirming that the powder did not change any further, he put them in a carton and stored them.

　　 Then I checked the video recorded by the phone. Although it took four bottles with one camera, the performance of the Redmi phone was not bad. At least the changes in the four bottles were basically captured clearly.

　　 He has already thought about it. In the future, if he finds a trustworthy researcher or institution that can cooperate, these things will be the first temptation he throws out.

　　 Without revealing his mutation, let others help him figure out what those gray powders are.

　　 Anyway, with Xiang Kun's current level of knowledge, he can't understand the reaction of those body tissues in the bottle, but it is definitely not a simple oxidation reaction.

　　 Apart from other things, where did the water in the meat, saliva and blood go? No water vapor can be seen on the glass wall. Could it be decomposed into H atoms and O atoms, stably contained in the gray powder? Moreover, with the rapid reaction that took place in such a short ten minutes, there was no temperature change on the utensil.

　　Without professional equipment and a large amount of related knowledge, Xiang Kun can only speculate or guess based on the observed phenomena.

　　 Judging from the information he has now: the body tissue cannot exist for a long time in the external environment, and it will turn into a gray powder after fifteen minutes. After death, the corpse is suspected to undergo the same change. In Xiang Kun's previous experiment, rabbit blood was consumed five minutes after leaving the body, and its effectiveness on him would be greatly reduced.

　　 Xiangkun speculates: There may be a certain special component or energy in the blood of an animal. This is temporarily defined as Z. After the blood leaves the body and is exposed to the external environment, Z quickly dissipates.

　　 Xiang Kun or other mutated creatures have a mutation in their digestive system and can absorb Z from animal blood. Z is also the main reason that supports his body's consumption, tissue remodeling, and mutation evolution. After his body tissue left the body, Z also disappeared.

　　 Unlike the blood of other animals, after losing Z, there is not much change in appearance. The basis for the construction of the body tissue of the mutant creature is Z, so after losing Z, it will quickly collapse and decompose into that gray powder.

　　 This also made Xiang Kun couldn't help but wonder if one day he couldn't take in enough blood and didn't have enough Z for the body, would the whole body just disintegrate and turn into powder.

　　 So first understand what the ingredients of these powders are, which may help him verify his speculation.

　　 3:20 pm, Xiang Kun, who was sorting out various experiment records, videos, and pictures in front of the computer, suddenly felt a sense of hunger released from the bottom of his body.

　　He skillfully packaged, encrypted, and concealed various documents, then got up and walked to the kitchen.

　　 In the kitchen cage, the four rabbits that were switched on and off still did not have any special reactions. After a glance at Kun, they walked to the remaining four rabbits and took out three of them.

Before, he only drank the blood of a rabbit every time, deliberately controlling the amount of blood he drank, but after the last time he drank the blood of the rabbit, he obviously felt a strong sense of hunger, and then slept for 32 hours, which also made him aware It was indeed a lack of blood drinking.

　　 According to his plan, it should be enough to start with one to two.

　　 But he wanted to experiment this time to see if the increased blood drinking volume would shorten the sleep time, so he planned to drink the blood of three rabbits at once.

　　 solved the rabbit very skillfully. After dividing the blood into the measuring cup, he quickly drank it.

　　 The total blood drink volume reached 450ml this time.

　　 Then Xiang Kun started the third experiment he was going to do today.

　　 He picked up the pebbles in a saucer on the kitchen condiment counter-these stones are all decorative pebbles he bought at the flower and bird market today, and each is no more than a fingernail size.

　　All these stones have been cleaned by him, and they have been treated with boiling water. The reason for this treatment is because he wants to swallow these stones.

　　 Yes, his third experiment was to verify the previous conjecture that had emerged from the giant owl cliff nest in the deep mountains.

　　 I want to see if the owl swallowing the stones in its stomach can help it resist the sleepiness after drinking blood.

　　 Xiangkun only swallowed one. This stone is not very small. The process of swallowing is really uncomfortable. You can clearly feel a hard object coming down from the esophagus.

　　 In less than ten minutes, Xiang Kun's stomach reacted. He felt vomiting and wanted to spit out the stone.

However, Xiang Kun found that he could really suppress the vomiting feeling, unlike other foods, when he wanted to vomit after lowering his abdomen, it was so nauseous and difficult to suppress~www.novelmtl.com~ but the stone stayed in his stomach, which really made him very uncomfortable. , Can even clearly feel the stomach twitching from time to time, as if protesting loudly to him.

　　 But it’s amazing, perhaps because the discomfort in the stomach affected the body’s attention, and Xiang Kun’s sleepiness after drinking blood was indeed reduced a lot.

　　 After drinking blood at 3:30 in the afternoon, he started counting, and went to sleep until 7:45 in the evening. Xiang Kun still didn't feel trapped and "knocked down".

　　 You know, the last time he took the anti-drowsiness test, he was a little delirious for about an hour and a half, and even forgot how he slept.

　　 And now, four hours have passed, and if necessary, he can continue to carry on.

　　 But his face is not very good, and his expression is even a bit sullen, because the feeling in his stomach is really...very uncomfortable.

　　 Although he proved his previous suspicion about the giant owl swallowing stones and returning to the nest to sleep, he still decided that this can only be used as a last resort insurance option. Usually, he would sleep well after drinking the blood. The feeling of the stone churning in the stomach is really painful. He even preferred to cut two more pieces of meat on his thighs instead of insisting on swallowing stones for four hours.

　　 At 7:58, Xiang Kun took the initiative to spit out the stone, and then lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

　　 At 9:14 p.m. on August 18, Xiang Kun sat up from the bed, checked the timer on the phone, and confirmed that he was still sleeping for about 25 hours, and shook his head regretfully.

　　 casually glanced at the missed calls. Of the six missed calls, four were unnamed and suspected advertising numbers, while the other two belonged to Officer Chen.

　　 What did Police Officer Chen ask for?

　　 Xiang Kun was puzzled, after thinking for a few seconds, he called Police Officer Chen back.
