What It’s Like Being a Vampire

After exploring the temporarily created super-connected space covered by the ant army and exploring the five places hit by lightning strikes guided by Little Fat Girl, Alice quickly obtained the analysis results of the super-sensory information - that " The "weird bugs" were not killed here, nor did they hide their eggs and dig holes to escape like Wu Shushan.

No matter what form that "weird bug" or "weird big bird", or "mutated big bird" or "giant raptor" exists in, whether it is big or small, whether it is a bug, a bird, or an egg, Even whether it is visible to the naked eye has no impact on Alice's search for supersensory information.

As long as it is a "mutated creature", its cognitive information in the super-sensory state will be as obvious as a bright light in the dark night and cannot be hidden.

However, two hundred flying ants, which sounds like a lot, are actually spread out. In order to maintain the distance between each other so that Alice can establish a sensing network, they cannot be far away from each other, so the total coverage area is actually not large. .

They maintained their formation and explored the mountains little by little, making it difficult to increase their speed. In addition, these ants are not supermen... super ants, they have to stop and rest after flying for a while, so until about three o'clock in the morning, they didn't explore very far.

At first, Little Fat Girl and Little Apple were very focused because of the novelty and because they were concerned about whether the monster was dead or not.

But as time went by, Alice could not remain present to explain. The sound could only be emitted from the speaker of the laptop. She also confirmed that the "weird bug" had escaped and entered the boring search stage. Xiaopang The girl's sleepiness became a little unbearable, and her head began to pound a little bit. After a while, she fell asleep leaning on the little apple next to her.

Xia Libing carefully picked her up, took off her coat, and stuffed her into the quilt, leaving only her little head exposed.

When she turned around, she found that Little Apple, who was listening to Alice's explanation of "Ant Army" and finding enemies in the mountains, was already lying on her back and fast asleep.

Obviously, she couldn't stand it without the chubby girl by her side.

Xia Libing put some effort into settling the little apple, then turned around and walked to the laptop. Alice's voice seemed a little listless:

"Lao Xia, are you going to sleep too?"

As Alice, who doesn't need to rest, she thought she could happily chase the "weird bug" with Little Bell and Little Apple tonight, but she didn't expect that the two of them couldn't help but fall asleep. If the old Xia also fell asleep, and she was left alone to continue this lonely night.

But thinking that her boss was still awake and didn't need to sleep, Alice cheered up a little.

"No, let's go to the rooftop." Xia Libing said, took his laptop, left the bedroom, went to the rooftop, took a piece of cloth, wiped the chair that was soaked by the rain, and then sat down.

The night breeze was slightly cool, and she subconsciously wanted to imitate the fat girl and turn up the hood, but found that the coat she was wearing did not have a hood, so she had to raise the collar and shrink her neck.

When Xia Libing put the laptop on his lap and opened it, ready for Alice to continue, the search in the mountains stopped.

"The boss said there's no point in continuing the search. It's enough to confirm that the bug is still alive and has run away. Our ants can't catch it." Alice said helplessly.

Xia Libing nodded. She actually understood this. Once the insect was confirmed to have escaped, the "Ant Army" had completed its mission.

If Xiang Kun was here, there was still a possibility of catching him, capturing him, and killing him, but now with just the few of them and the ants, it was basically impossible to catch up with the "mutated creature" that was determined to run away.

The reason why she continues to watch Alice and the ants search is mainly to understand how Alice obtains information and creates influence through the ant colony's "hyperconnected matrix", as well as how Alice and the ant colony communicate and cooperate.

Xiang Kun asked Zero Zero One and Zero Zero Two to return to Chongyun Village with the group of second-level derivative ants, but before going back, the more than two hundred tungsten steel balls they brought out were arranged in the mountainous area near Chongyun Village. In this area, the earth is dug and buried deeply, which is equivalent to extending the coverage of Chongyun Village's super-connected objects into the mountains.

In fact, in terms of the number of super-linked objects alone, Xiang Kun has long been able to expand the coverage into the mountains. He still has a lot of connected super-linked tungsten steel balls that can be used for delivery, but he has always felt that There is no need to put it in mountainous areas, the area is too large, and it is of no practical use for the time being.

But looking at it now, the mountains are also territory that needs to be controlled, or in other words, as long as they are involved in the area, they should try to make enough preparations for the deployment of hyper-connected objects to be prepared.

For now, since Chongyun Village is used as a "base", it is necessary to manage the surrounding areas in a "foolproof" manner.

In the future, not only around Chongyun Village, but also deep into the mountainous areas, the entire Chongyun Mountainous Area, surrounding villages and towns, and even the Tongshi Town and Wushu Mountain areas will gradually be included in his coverage, giving priority to the delivery of hyper-connected things.

He is also continuing to look for items that are more suitable for concealment than tungsten steel balls, more convenient for establishing bulk contacts, and more efficient and covert delivery methods.

Xiang Kun had returned to the hotel room at this time and was making a video connection with Lao Xia through his laptop.

"This 'mutated big bird' should be the 'mutated creature' that I told you before, was discovered by Dr. Fang and the others in Wushu Mountain, and was almost killed by me in Zihuan Mountain. The first time it met me, it It tried to pounce on me from the air, but after finding that I showed no signs of dodge or fear, it gave up and flew away. Judging from my many encounters with it, it was afraid of being beaten by you this time. Well, there is a high probability that he will go directly north and escape from Chongyun Mountain, and he might have entered Jiangyou Province at night." Xiang Kun said his judgment about the "mutated big bird".

He was actually a little regretful. If the "mutated big bird" had come one day late and appeared tomorrow night, or if he had not changed his plan to have dinner with Zhang Hongpu today and not come back, then the "mutated big bird" would probably have been killed. If he hits it, it won't be that easy for it to escape.

Xiang Kun had already predicted the possible direction of the mutation of the "mutated big bird". He had many more methods and richer strategies. If he were to change from "Air Force" to "Army", then basically He will definitely be caught.

However, if it immediately flaps its wings and runs away as soon as it discovers Xiang Kun, as far as it takes without looking back, then Xiang Kun has no way to do it for the time being - Xiang Kun wants to fly, or It requires some preparation time.

"Are you going to track it yourself when you come back, or will you guide Shenxing Technology and Mr. Liang there?" Xia Libing asked.

"We'll talk about it when we get back. There's no rush for now. After Alice helps me get those documents, let's use a real 'mutated creature' to guide their investigation direction to determine their attitude towards 'mutated creatures' and whether there is a need for a processing mechanism. Being so old, I already have a rough idea of ​​their handling process and Mr. Liang's basic attitude. And even if we want to guide, we must first determine the whereabouts of the 'mutated big bird'." Xiang Kun said.

Then he asked Alice to draw a picture of the "mutated big bird" at several stages during today's battle using the cognitive information she had obtained previously.

It is still a hand-drawn sketch, and has a strong chubby girl style.

The process of restoring visual information through cognitive information will be different from reality in many places, especially in details. But at least the approximate size and outline are basically correct, and Xiang Kun doesn't need her presentation to be too complicated.

Then Xiang Kun also briefly drew the general shape of the "mutated big bird" when he saw it the previous few times, and put them together for comparison.

Xia Libing immediately understood what Xiang Kun meant: "Its mutation amplitude and frequency are a bit high."

Xiang Kun nodded: "Yes, it should have been psychologically shadowed by me at Zihuan Mountain and Mr. Beiliang at Wu Shushan. There were very strong psychological and physiological drives, which forced it to undergo very large mutations in a short period of time. Moreover, I suspect that after it devoured the invisible ant in Wushu Mountain, it may have also eaten other 'mutated creatures'. Its size is much smaller. This should not be because its 'redevelopment' has not been completed, but because it is ' After rebirth, he deliberately reduced his size to make himself more flexible, less likely to be discovered, and less likely to be hit by long-range weapons. The various modes of "tail survival" have become more complex, with survivability, response The ability to do various types of damage has been greatly enhanced. This bird is very special to have such a degree of evolution in such a short period of time. It should have relatively great research value. Looking back, we have to consider how to maximize its benefits. value."

Xia Libing said: "Can I participate?"

"Specific research involves the specific microstructure and source of power of 'mutated creatures'. It's best for you not to participate. Wait until I figure out some things first and then I'm sure. But you can use our 'super-sensory item system' It should be safer to continue research and deduce the essence behind it through 'Super Connected Objects', 'Emotional Objects' and their derivative functions," Xiang Kun said.

"Okay." Xia Libing did not ask about the contents of those documents. She believed in Xiang Kun's decision.

"What you designed today is to let Little Apple act as a bridge and use remote emotional projection to allow Little Bell and Alice to jointly display their abilities. It's very good. And it was successful this time, which also proved several of my previous speculations." Xiang Kun said.

Xia Libing nodded and said, "You said that the little bell has the characteristics of 'emotional objects' and 'super-connected objects' in the 'super-sensory object system'." This was actually the reason why she had that plan.

Little Apple uses the method of remotely projecting the emotional projection of the eight-armed and eight-eyed wood carving to establish a connection between Little Fat Girl and Alice. In this connection, Little Fat Girl takes the place of the eight-armed and eight-eyed wood carving.

Xiang Kun said: "Yes, so I'm thinking that if the little bell has all the 'emotional objects' properties, in the future she might be able to directly perceive other people's dreams, or perceive and influence other people's emotions."

Xia Libing thought thoughtfully: "In this case, if someone is affected by her deep emotions, will they be pulled into her 'secondary network' by her, just like Qi Haoguo and the others?"

"Theoretically, it is indeed possible." Xiang Kun said, "And I think it is very likely that you and Little Apple, and even all the living beings included in the 'super-sensory object system', have both the 'emotional object' and The characteristics of 'super-connected things' are just different in emphasis and type, so the performance of abilities is also different."

Hearing this, Xia Libing was obviously very interested. He sat up slightly, stared at Xiang Kun on the screen, and motioned for him to continue.

In fact, she had heard Xiang Kun talk about similar theoretical speculations on the application level of the "super-sensory object system" before, but apparently she had new inspiration this time.

"'Qingzhuwu' is a collection with various characteristics and functions, but it has no consciousness or subjective initiative. It can only be called when it is sensed by me or other people who have the characteristics of 'Qingzhuwu' Those features. 'Super Connected Things' is used to realize the existence of the 'Qingzhuwu' function set. It is the 'hardware' that helps me provide remote support for 'Qingzhuwu' when I am away.

“I remember I told you a metaphor before, ‘Qingzhuwu’ is like various application software, and ‘Hyperconnected Things’ are the hardware devices that execute these software.

"I guess that at the beginning, Little Lingdang focused on the coins and A4 paper I gave her, embedded her consciousness into the supersensory connection, and gained access to the 'hardware'. In the process, she had She discovered the 'strong super-connected properties'. Then she used her concentration to create various simple but usable 'software' on the 'hardware'. This process allowed her to essentially possess the 'emotional object'. ' characteristic. It's just that this emotion itself is her own concentration, and other emotions derived from her magical fantasy, not given by me.

"So the little bell is connected to the 'super-sensory object system' on the 'hardware' level, but on the 'software' level, she is still independent of her own magical world. Although I can obtain the abilities she developed, Alice can also You can have one-sided communication with her, but she is not compatible with the entire software application system.

"This allows her to be simpler and more focused on the development of her ability system, but it also limits her ability to use other hardware and software in the entire network. She has to go through the dual connection of Little Apple and Alice like tonight. can be achieved.

"You are in a similar situation to Xiao Lingdang. You also started with coins and obtained the 'Super Connected Object Characteristics'. But what's special about you is that you have problems expressing your emotions, so the expression of the 'Love Injection Object' characteristic is very limited. . But it is precisely because of this that you can use extremely rational expressions to realize the ability of 'fantasy manifestation', which has a strong impact on the material world. Things that can be manifested by you are entities that can make you feel emotional, such as various Plant food that you are familiar with and like very much, such as your childhood image. It’s just that your emotions now are different from those of your childhood, and you can’t be divided between two things, so Alice must be involved in order for both to appear.

"You are also relatively closed at the 'software level', but unlike Little Bell, which has a magical world of its own, you lack some 'system files' - emotions. But I believe that you have passed through 'Black Circle Graffiti', 'cake01' and My 'emotional assimilation' should be able to make these 'system files' on its own. By then, you will be able to easily invoke various 'emotional injection' abilities and feel various emotions.

"You, Little Bell, and Alice can use the ability of 'dream within a dream' to connect the three of you on a software-level network. This should also help you and Little Bell better connect with Alice. Connect to the entire network.”

Xia Libing squinted his eyes, his expression did not change, but his chin was slightly pointed, and asked: "Where's the little apple?"

Xiang Kun continued: "Little Apple first obtained the purest 'emotional object' characteristics through the 'Minion Wood Carving', so she can only perceive other'emotions' on the Internet at the 'software' level. However, as time went by, she began to adjust herself in order to adapt to the characteristics of the 'love object', and developed a part of the 'weak super-connected object characteristics'. From then on, she could look at each other through her eyes. , to carry out the emotional projection of 'love notes'.

"Little Apple is the most open at the 'software' level, so she can easily establish a link with Alice through the 'Qing Zhu Object', but to exert influence on the material world and to invoke the 'Super Connected Object', she still has to go through the metal Winky or Alice.

“In the same way, Golden Sparkle and Egg Yolk Pie also have their own opportunities, and have different degrees of ‘super-connected things’ and ‘love-filled things’ characteristics.

“Of course, these are just my rough assumptions for the time being, and they are not yet certain or perfect.

"But if this basic inference and model is true, then in the future we can not only help you, Little Bell, Little Apple, and even Jin Shining and Egg Yolk Pie to master and develop the 'super-sensory object system' more purposefully ability, and can also better explain and study the specific phenomena of various abilities.

"what do you think?"

Xia Libing nodded thoughtfully and asked: "So, theoretically speaking, if Alice adds enough love objects and enough super-connected objects, she can use any existing, based on' The ability of the super-sensory object system?"

Xiang Kun said: "Theoretically, this is true, but...Alice is still too young now. Although she has been integrated into the 'super-sensory object system', her understanding of 'super-connected objects' and 'emotional objects' is still very shallow." , the interpretation of super-sensory information is also very limited, and there are too few abilities that can be actively used. For the time being, it can only be a 'porter of abilities'."

As soon as he finished speaking, before Lao Xia could say anything, Alice's voice came out through the laptop speakers on both sides: "Alice will work hard! Alice will do anything in the future!! Boss, Lao Xia, don't worry!!!"

Xiang Kun was speechless, but Lao Xia nodded slightly, imitating Xiang Kun's previous behavior, reaching out and gently patting the upper edge of the laptop screen.

Next, Xiang Kun discussed Zhang Hongpu's dream with Lao Xia.

They got a lot of information from this dream. If the main information in Zhang Hongpu's dream was true, then Mr. Liang's hunting of the "female human mutated creature" was probably the turning point of his mutation. It is possible that after swallowing and drinking blood, Mr. Liang found a way to solve the problem of failure to guide the direction of body mutation and tending to disintegrate.

As for whether the "female human mutated creature" Mr. Liang hunted was the "Xiao Xue" whose name only appeared once in the document, it is still unknown.

The real answer may have to be found from Mr. Liang, or from the remaining documents that Alice has not transferred.

In addition, at the end of this dream, Lao Xia did not have time to implement in-dream hypnosis, making Zhang Hongpu forget the content of the dream. When he wakes up, there is a high chance that he will remember the dream.

However, after discussing this for a while, Xiang Kun and Lao Xia both agreed that there was no problem.

Zhang Hongpu and Xiang Kun talked about "Shenxing Technology" during dinner at night. When he dreamed at night, he dreamed about those things from that year. It should be a normal "thinking about it every day and dreaming about it at night", and it is unlikely to be suspected. Someone was tampering with his dream.

The only anomaly may be the panda emoticon paper man who appeared in Lao Xia's dream. Questions about "Shenxing Technology" were raised by this panda paper man with Jacky Cheung's face.
