What It’s Like Being a Vampire

After Yang Zhener had a lengthy discussion with Tang Baona on the rooftop, she went back to her room, washed up, and fell asleep.

It turned out that Tang Baona was tossing and turning on the bed, always thinking of Yang Zhener's conjectures involuntarily.

In the past, Yang Laosan often came up with all kinds of random conjectures, some of which were more logical and open-minded than tonight. But most of the time, Tang Baona listened to those ideas as jokes and just laughed it off. .

But tonight, when she thought about it carefully, many of Yang Laosan's words really made some sense, and the more she thought about it, the more it made sense, and the more she thought about it, the more possible it became.

Of course, she did not fully agree with Yang Laosan's "summoning of monsters from another dimension" inference, but she suddenly realized that Lao Xia was indeed something special, and some of his behaviors were very abnormal.

After turning over and over on the bed, sometimes lying on her back and sometimes on her side, Tang Baona just couldn't fall asleep, so she simply sat up and leaned over to look at Yang Zhen'er on the same bed.

Seeing that the instigator Yang Laosan was sleeping so soundly, Tang Baona reached out and pinched her cheek bitterly, but when she started, it turned into a light pinch.

Yang Zhener, who was sleeping soundly, hugged Tang Baona's hand, and then the whole person was glued to it.

Tang Baona, who was familiar with her sleeping state, quickly broke away, pushed her away, and then turned over and got out of bed.

Since she couldn't sleep anyway, she simply left the room and went to the rooftop to get some air.

The place where they live is on a high ground in the village, so standing on the rooftop, you can basically have an overview of most of the village, and the view and scenery are excellent.

Looking at Chongyun Village, where the roads were still bright under the streetlights even late at night, and looking at a brightly lit construction site near the village entrance in the distance, Tang Baona couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

Not long ago, when they followed Xiang Kun to Chongyun Village for the first time, even the roads here were still bumpy. Before entering the village, he was intercepted by brothers Liu Gaoshang and Liu Zhengyi.

Those things are still vivid in my mind, as if they happened yesterday. In the blink of an eye, Chongyun Village has undergone earth-shaking changes. Even the two brothers who stood in the way are now helping Xiang Kun to be responsible for the construction of the research base. .

Looking back from the direction of the construction site, Tang Baona looked in another direction in the village. There was a building with only a faint light on the first floor. That was Xiang Kun's "studio" in Chongyun Village. According to his schedule, now He must still be busy working.

Think carefully,

Tang Baona found that she never seemed to be able to see Xiang Kun every day for six or seven consecutive days. Indeed, every few days, Xiang Kun would lose contact for various reasons, usually for about a day.

The only person who had direct contact with Xiang Kun for more than a week seemed to be Lao Xia.

She is also a little suspicious now that the "research base" project that Lao Xia and Xiang Kun are tinkering with is not a simple research on breeding, big data AI, and the Internet, but some more secretive project. Maybe it is really like Yang Laosan. Speaking of which, what secrets are hidden in Chongyun Mountain?

She thought of the "Taiyu Biological Laboratory" researcher who had been Professor Li's student who wanted to go into the mountains to do research. They also wanted to go into the mountains to study ants, insects and the like. Is this just an excuse? In fact, their purpose was the same as that of Lao Xia and Lao Xia. Like Xiang Kun?

She recalled how Xiang Kun suddenly went berserk in the corridor of the KTV on her birthday last year. She recalled the scene where they accidentally broke into the human trafficker Xiang Kun and got into a fight. She recalled a girl who was threatened by someone at Chang Bin's wedding and wanted to splash urine and cause trouble. Being discovered and stopped by Xiang Kun in advance, I remembered Xiang Kun's behavior after they had a conflict with Liu Feibao and Qi Haoguo on the way to Tongshi Town because of a rear-end collision. I thought of Xiang Kun's behavior when they were blocked by brothers Liu Gaoshang and Liu Zhengyi when they first arrived at Chongyun Village. of calmness.

Tang Baona couldn't help but feel a little confused. Just looking at Xiang Kun's performance, he really didn't look like someone who had been a programmer for seven years after graduation!

There is also Lao Xia. After graduation, she gave up the job opportunity in a tertiary hospital in a first-tier city and went to a mental health hospital in Citong. I am afraid it was not just because her third aunt worked in this hospital.

Is it because of Xiang Kun?

No, Lao Xia had decided to go to work at Ci Tong Third Hospital long before they met Xiang Kun. It couldn't be because of Xiang Kun.

But after thinking about it like this, Tang Baona couldn't help but think about the problem from Xiang Kun's standpoint and perspective, and then discovered that in fact, every time Xiang Kun "lost contact" or couldn't meet, he had a very legitimate reason.

It seems that right now, Xiang Kun is working hard for their company, and Zhen'er also went to the yard last time to take a peek and confirmed that Xiang Kun is indeed working in the house, and it is not as "unreliable as she guessed" "Speaking of where they usually go to "perform secret missions."

The reason why Xiang Kun came to Chongyun Village to build a breeding research base was because he lived in Tongshi Town for a long time when he was a child, and opened a restaurant in Tongshi Town with Fa Xiaoyoumeng, and then in order to solve the problem of food supply , I looked for a place to build a breeding farm in the nearby Chongyun Village, but I couldn't handle the procedures for the breeding farm, so I hooked up with Liu Caifu, the deputy director of the village, and started to open a breeding-related research base in the village.

Before partnering with You Meng, when Xiang Kun was learning to cook, he had been thinking about going back to his hometown to open a shop specializing in rabbit meat. It was not without reason.

She was actually fully involved in the entire process of how these things were progressed. She was actually aware of many of them and was even a direct participant in how Xiang Kun learned to cook, how he made "Youlong Hotel" popular, and how he discussed with Liu Caifu.

It's just that this research base seems to be much larger than expected, and the investment is much higher. Lao Xia's resignation was also beyond her expectation. The development speed of Chongyun Village and even Tongshi Town was also beyond her expectation. She even wondered if Xiang Kun had seen that Tongshi Town and Chongyun Village were going to develop greatly before, so he came here. While running a business.

Tang Baona couldn't help but laugh. It was so dangerous that she was almost led astray by Yang Laosan!

She tucked her wind-blown hair behind her ears and was about to turn around when she suddenly stopped flipping the coin with her left hand.

When she came up to the rooftop just now, she took the "lucky coin" that Xiang Kun gave her with her. Because she is envious of Little Fat Girl, Little Apple, Lao Xia, and Xiang Kun who can flip coins very skillfully and fluently, she now only has free time and will continue to practice - it is unreasonable for her music teacher to praise her slender fingers that are suitable for playing the piano. , can’t you learn the skill of flipping coins that can be done with a small bell!

Now she suddenly realized that when she was thinking about Xiang Kun's things just now, she was subconsciously turning over the coins with her left hand to practice. It turned out smoother and faster, becoming smoother than ever before.

Tang Baona quickly turned it over a few more times. In the moonlight, she saw the coin flipping flexibly between her fingers. After turning it around, she handed it to her thumb and continued rolling it in a rapid cycle, as if it was stuck to the back of her hand.

Tang Baona was very excited. She had the feeling that the coin and her hand were one. No matter how fast she turned the coin, the coin would not fall out. Unlike before, no matter how smoothly she turned the coin on the back of her hand, she would just hand it over and move it around. Immediately it slows down, then becomes shaky and cannot go smoothly at all.

So Tang Baona, who was about to go back to sleep, stood on the rooftop and started playing with coins. She flipped the coin with her left hand and turned it with the right. She was just like a child who discovered a new toy. She was having fun playing without feeling sleepy at all.

But in the end the coin fell to the ground because Tang Baona's fingers cramped.

Grinding her teeth and rubbing her cramped left hand, Tang Baona was very happy in her heart. If it weren't for the middle of the night and everyone was already asleep, she would have played well in front of Yang Laosan several times. I don't know what Yang Laosan would have done. reaction.

After her finger cramps subsided, she leaned over and picked up the coin, playing with the one-round coin that looked ordinary but had become extremely familiar during this period. She was also a little confused as to why it suddenly turned so smoothly. ?

Could it be that flipping a coin is actually not a technical problem but a psychological problem? The less you pay attention to it, the more natural it becomes, and the better you can do it?

Tang Baona turned over the coins again with her right hand that was not cramped, and walked back while playing. However, when she reached the door of the corridor, because she was wearing slippers, she accidentally got stirred when she raised her feet. She lost her balance and fell forward.

Seeing the stairs ahead, Tang Baona felt a chill in her heart, and two words popped up: It's over.

Suddenly, her thighs tightened, and she felt someone hugging her from behind, and there was a "Hey!"

The force holding her thigh was not strong and did not last long, so she did not return to her standing position. Instead, she jumped forward and knelt forward. She subconsciously raised her hand and held the handrail at the entrance of the stairs to steady herself. He lost his body, and the coin that was originally on the back of his hand flew out and rolled down the stairs.

Looking at the stairs below, Tang Baona was not happy to have escaped death. Instead, she was even more nervous than before. She even held her breath and carefully looked back behind her.

Behind him is the rooftop, with a clear view under the moonlight, not a single person in sight.

Ignoring her painful knees, Tang Baona stood up holding on to the wall and railings, carefully walked out of the stairwell on the top floor, glanced nervously left and right, and quickly checked the blind spot she had just seen, but she still didn't see anyone.

What happened just now?

Who hugged me?

At some point, she was covered in cold sweat, and her scalp was numb when she thought about the feeling of being hugged just now.

Especially now she suddenly realized that the hand holding her leg seemed very short and small, like a child. Judging from the position and angle, the person holding her was also very short. Coupled with the charming voice, it can be basically determined that she is a little girl.

But for a little girl of such height, there was only one small bell in this building, and she was very sure that the sound just now did not belong to the small bell.

Who is that?

Tang Baona walked back and forth on the rooftop several times and checked for a while, but there was no trace of anyone hiding.

"Is there anyone there?" Tang Baona couldn't help but asked quietly while standing on the rooftop.

There was no response. Only then did she realize that the entire Chongyun Village was unusually quiet, with no dogs barking or birds chirping.

By the way, when we returned to Chongyun Village during this period, there was another big difference compared to the time before. That is, this time they found almost no bugs where they lived - and this was supposed to be a mountain village. The most abundant creatures.

Not to mention mosquitoes, cockroaches or other bugs, not even a fly.

Originally, Tang Baona just thought it was because Chongyun Village had built roads and the sanitary conditions had improved a lot. It was a natural thing.

But now, Tang Baona, who was standing on the rooftop, looked at the street lamp closest to the entrance of their courtyard. She noticed that there were no flying insects under the light, and then she realized... This is definitely not normal!

Is there a problem in this house?

Or is there a problem in the entire Chongyun Village and Chongyun Mountain?

Tang Baona suddenly closed her eyes, took two deep breaths, and then murmured to herself: "It's okay, she saved me. Even if she does exist, she is kind to me, okay."

After convincing herself, Tang Baona did not continue to stay on the rooftop, but walked back to the stairwell. She noticed that there was a surveillance camera above the stairwell - there were many surveillance cameras in their house and yard, basically in public spaces, such as stairs and living rooms. There are them in , and in the yard. Xiang Kun installed them himself.

If I remember correctly, the surveillance videos should all be in Xiang Kun's room on the first floor?

Tang Baona thought about it and did not wake up Yang Zhen'er or Lao Xia. Instead, she walked to the first floor alone and wanted to open the door to Xiang Kun's room, but found that the door was locked.

She thought for a while, took out her phone and sent a WeChat message to Xiang Kun.

"Are you still working?"

Xiang Kun's reply was sent quickly: "Here, why aren't you asleep yet?" Then he added a surprised expression.

Tang Baona breathed a sigh of relief and typed quickly: "I can't sleep. By the way, I want to see the surveillance video of the stairs. Are those surveillance videos on the computer in your room?"

"Why do you need to watch the surveillance at this time? What happened?"

"Nothing, I have some questions that I want to confirm." Tang Baona hesitated for a moment, but still did not fully tell her story. She wanted to confirm the monitoring first, and she still did not want to affect Xiang Kun's work too early.

Xiang Kun replied: "There is a spare key in an iron box under the TV cabinet in the living room. Look for it. It should be there. My computer password is: ******. You should know how to operate it, right? Anyway, you have Just ask me any questions."

"Okay!" After Tang Baona replied the message, she went to find the spare key in the TV cabinet, opened Xiang Kun's room, and walked in.

Xiang Kun's room here is similar to the bedroom layout of the house he bought in Shenhai. It also has a computer desk, a bed, a cabinet, a computer chair, and nothing else. Even the style is similar to the previous one.

After entering the password and entering the system, Tang Baona asked Xiang Kun how to view the recorded video.

But when he followed Xiang Kun's instructions and turned on the video of the staircase, he found that the other surveillance videos were all fine, but the video of the camera in the stairwell on the top of the building didn't record anything today!

Tang Baona stared at the computer blankly, feeling a little confused for a moment.

Just when she picked up her phone and wanted to tell Xiang Kun about the surveillance situation and see if the camera in the stairwell was broken or for some reason, she suddenly spotted a figure at the door of the room out of the corner of her eye.
