What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Jiang Chun, who came up from the water, was not wearing a jacket after shaking off the shellfish and algae hanging on his body, but he skillfully found a pair of loose trousers outside the cabin to put on, and then squatted next to him to imitate frog calls .

Soon two children, a boy and a girl, ran out. The older one looked to be about eight or nine years old, and the younger one should be five or six years old. Behind them, there was an old woman who was walking a little staggeringly.

The little girl happily shouted next to Jiang Chun: "Jiang! Jiang! Jiang!"

The little boy smiled and called in Chinese with a weird accent: "Uncle Jiang!"

Jiang Chun smiled and touched their heads, then spoke a string of Burmese with the same weird accent, and sat down cross-legged at the door of the cabin while helping them process the unfinished fish meat, preparing to dry it and preserve it. He got up and chatted with two children and an old man. The two children were teaching him Burmese through the things he did and the work he did.

Because he was diagnosed with a terminal illness and his time was running out, Jiang Chun traveled around with all his money. He wanted to see the world before he died, and then "die outside" quietly without letting anyone know - he didn't know it anyway. What relatives and friends are left?

When he saw the "phantom of the eight-armed and eight-eyed giant" in Montamila, under the influence of strong fear, he still chose to stop in front of the giant, hoping to end his illness and pain in this special way. Life.

However, when the illusion dissipated and under the influence of strong emotions, he suddenly understood what he was really afraid of.

What he fears is not simply dying, but dying alone, in pain, and with nothing. What he fears is that when he is about to disappear in this world, he will not be able to leave any traces on this world, and this world will not leave any traces for him. Any memory, these forty-one years of life, ended so full of regrets.

He chose to travel abroad without treatment. On the one hand, it was because treatment was too late and had no effect. He did not have much money to support continued treatment and high-priced drugs. On the other hand, it was also to escape.

After Montamila was affected by the projection of fearful emotions, he suddenly figured out a lot of things and clarified what he was most afraid of and what he wanted most.

No matter how much life is left, you will have a chance if you start doing it. Even if you still achieve nothing by the time you die, you have at least tried your best.

Before returning to China, Jiang Chun planned to take a final trip to a small island he had seen in a magazine on the plane, so he headed to the beach and chartered a small fishing boat to go there.

Unexpectedly, due to various accidents, he failed to go to the island in the end. He and the boatman were stranded at sea until the sun went down before returning. He also lost his way and strayed into an area where smuggling, smuggling and other illegal activities are often carried out.

Haoshibushi witnessed a murder case that was suspected of being an internal gang dealing with a traitor.

The performance of Jiang Chun's boat was average, and the boatman was stunned for a long time and did not react. Therefore, he was unable to escape immediately after being discovered, and was caught by the gang who boarded the boat.

The unlucky Jiang Chun and the boatman were both sunk in the sea.

But what he didn't expect was that Jiang Chun, who was thought to be dead, woke up at the bottom of the sea, but his body was restrained by heavy objects and could not break free.

Fortunately, he seemed to have the ability to breathe underwater, so he would not be suffocated to death even in the water.

After a while, driven by hunger, he caught a fish that was wandering near him, sucked and swallowed the fish's blood, and fell into a deep sleep again.

After an unknown amount of time, when he woke up again, the joints that were bound by the heavy objects were suddenly able to twist in the opposite direction, and the muscles in some parts were much stronger, and he successfully broke free.

Jiang Chun spent a lot of time to determine his condition and realized that his body had undergone a very magical mutation, but now he couldn't eat anything. When he was hungry, he could only swallow the blood of other animals to relieve himself, and every time he drank After the blood is finished, it is necessary to sleep for a while.

He needed to drink blood, which he couldn't accept, because in his mind, drinking blood was something only evil beings would do. But after staying in the sea for a while, he felt relieved because I have seen a lot of underwater creatures hunting each other, which is even more cruel and bloody. But obviously no one thinks that this kind of hunting between hunters and prey in nature needs to be labeled as evil. Human beings themselves Various kinds of hunting are also going on, and a lot of meat on the vegetable market and on the dining table needs to be slaughtered.

As long as there is a bottom line, don't touch human blood, don't kill for the sake of killing, there doesn't seem to be anything to mind about killing and eating blood for survival - if ordinary people want to eat fish, don't they also have to kill it?

After thinking about it, Jiang Chun became more and more "like a fish in water" in the sea.

In the water, he gradually felt more at ease and freer than on land, and the weakness and discomfort caused by the illness that he had almost become accustomed to during this period had all disappeared, as if the original Jiang Chun had already disappeared. He died and now he has become a "water ghost".

He had a vague feeling that his resurrection from the dead and mutation in the water were probably related to the "eight-armed and eight-eyed giant vision" that Monta Mira saw.

Or has he now become a creature of the same dimension as the "Eight-Armed and Eight-Eyed Giant"?

Jiang Chun was enjoying himself in the water. He was constantly sensing and enjoying the changes in his body, and was making various attempts.

But there was one thing he couldn't let go of.

The boatman who sent him out to sea was also "dealt with" by the "gang" that night, but the other party was not as interested as he was. He was not brought back to life, did not mutate, and was already dead at the bottom of the sea.

He couldn't just let this matter go.

He thought about many disposal plans, but in the end he chose a safer method. He did not take the initiative directly, but spent several days at night to collect the bodies of the boatman who was sunk at sea and the bodies that had been processed by the "gang" before. They all went to the beach where more people live and are frequented by tourists, so that they can be discovered.

Then he wrote down the details in English on paper where he had secretly investigated where the smuggling, smuggling, and drug trafficking gangs hid their goods, and dropped it into the largest local police station at night.

Next, is to wait.

Just in case, Jiang Chun also wrote a manuscript in English and hid the things he found out, including the situation of the two dead people he witnessed, and hid them. Send things to the media. If that didn't work, he was even considering whether to carry out the "punishment" himself and seek justice for the dead.

In the days after the mutation, apart from thinking about the changes in his body, what he thought about the most was why these things happened, and the "miracle" that happened to Montamira before, the godlike "eight arms and eight eyes" that day. "Giant" came to the world, it was difficult for him not to connect the two things together.

And this connection, thinking about various moods, and experiencing the fear at that time made him have an idea from time to time:

Could it be that the "giant with eight arms and eight eyes" was granting him the power and power to act on behalf of him, giving him a "new life", in order to make him a sharp sword to punish certain crimes?

During this process, Jiang Chun accidentally rescued a little boy who was drowning, and then found that this little boy was actually the child of the boatman who went to sea with him before.

The boatman's wife ran away after he disappeared, leaving only two children, a boy and a girl, and an old mother suffering from various diseases, and the family's life was in trouble.

Jiang Chun helped the family from time to time, quietly guiding and helping them to salvage some valuables from the seabed to sell, and from time to time, he caught some fish and other seafood with excellent quality to improve their meals or sell them in the market for money. .

After getting used to it, he occasionally comes out of the water at night, and he will help the family with house repairs, electrical repairs, etc., and at the same time chat casually with the two children and the elders—learn Burmese from them, and also teach I taught them some simple Chinese.

The two children both like Jiang Chun very much, and because of him, they have a strong affection and longing for China. They both say that they must visit China in the future and go to school in China.

Apart from the old man and the young man, it was not that no one else had seen Jiang Chun nearby.

A few fishermen in the vicinity saw two children holding a very good-looking and huge seafood that could only be caught in the deep sea. They directly slandered them for stealing from themselves and gave their seafood to He grabbed them and drove them out.

So after knowing this, Jiang Chun quietly went to those fishermen's homes that night, and gave them a simple "warning"—drawing a few simple symbols of "a giant with eight arms and eight eyes".

Later, when these fishermen went fishing at sea, they made some manipulations to their boats at sea, which fulfilled the "warning" he left and frightened them.

After that, the two children went to the market to sell seafood, and the fishermen did not dare to bully them anymore.

Although it has been some time since the mass hallucination incident in Muntamira, the impact of that incident continues to be fermented in various parts of Myanmar.

Especially among the people, the more backward the place, the more they are in awe of the "eight-armed and eight-eyed giant", and there are various speculations and associations. This effect is also great among people who go fishing at sea.

Jiang Chun knew this, so he used the name of the "eight-armed and eight-eyed giant" to intimidate.

Judging from the results, it is still good.

Today, Jiang Chun went to the children's home as usual to help them with some work, learn a few words in Burmese, and learn about the situation.

Knowing from the old woman that the police still haven't taken any action and that the members of the gang involved in their lives are still at large, Jiang Chun realizes that the Burmese police cannot be relied on.

While he was thinking, the little boy took his hand and showed him a painting he had drawn in the past few days.

It was a portrait of an eight-armed and eight-eyed giant, with two Chinese characters written crookedly underneath - justice.

These are the two Chinese characters he taught the little boy to recognize a few days ago.

Jiang Chun smiled and was about to take the painting and say something when he suddenly heard some special noises.

After the mutation, his sensory ability in the water has been greatly enhanced. He can sense the movement in the surrounding water through the fluff all over his body, and his ability to see things underwater has also been enhanced.

But on land, although he did not deteriorate to the point where he could not breathe or move, there was no obvious improvement.

But the only exception is that on land, any sound related to water will make him very sensitive, such as the sound of liquid sloshing in a container, such as the sound of stepping on water.

Just now he was very sensitive to discover that in the woods not far from the cabin, something stepped on a puddle. Judging from the sound and movement, it should be a person. Judging from the location, it's a good place to peek into the cabin.

Jiang Chun was alert and asked the old man and the children to go back to the house. He quickly ran to the beach. As long as he returned to the water, he was not afraid.

But just after running a few steps, a searchlight suddenly came over and locked onto Jiang Chun's figure.

It was a pickup truck on the road in the distance. It seemed to be from the police, but soon Jiang Chun spotted a guy running out of the dense forest next to the road with various weapons in his hands.

He saw in it the gang leader who ordered his men to throw him and the boatman into the sea.

Jiang Chun instantly understood why the clues he provided were so detailed. The bodies of the two victims were also found, but the police never took action against the gang.

These guys are basically in the same group!

Jiang Chun turned around and started to rush into the water at a faster speed, but after running a few steps, he found that there were speedboats approaching from the sea, and someone even pointed a gun at him.

These guys came prepared.

Jiang Chun realized that it was likely that some of his previous activities had exposed his whereabouts, and then the gang knew that someone had reported it, and connected the two situations - after all, the old man and the young boy were the family members of the murdered boatman.

Jiang Chun regretted that he was not careful enough and underestimated the power background, cruelty and boldness of those people.

The gang leader with long braids and tattoos on his neck and arms walked to the edge of the hut. His men brought out the two children and the old woman. They took out a machete and put it on the little boy's neck. Looking at Jiang Chun:

"Where are you from, brother? Did you write that English email?"

The leader spoke in Burmese. Although Jiang Chun could not understand everything, he could probably understand what he meant after a few words.

Although he was nervous, he still turned his face in the direction of the leader, so that they could see his face clearly through the searchlight, and then loudly replied in Burmese: "I, Haili! You, the hurtful, eight-eyed and eight-armed god, Punishment!"

In the whole sentence, only the word "eight-eyed and eight-armed god" is spoken most smoothly.

The leader didn't seem to understand what he heard, so he asked the person next to him, and then burst into laughter. He looked down and saw the drawing paper that the little boy was holding tightly in his hand. He grabbed it and spat on it: " What a goddamn god!"

There was a short young man wearing earrings next to him who couldn't help but remind him in a low voice: "Brother Hui, this 'Eight-Eyed God' appeared in Menta Mira. He is very famous. It is said to be in charge of fear, life and death... "

The more he spoke, the softer he spoke. Halfway through, he did not dare to speak any more because the leader, "Brother Hui," was looking at him with sinister eyes.

"Brother Hui" suddenly raised his hand and tore the little boy's painting into pieces, and cursed: "I never believe in ghosts and gods when I go out to hang out. I am the biggest ghost! The biggest god!"

Jiang Chun pushed aside his long hair and shouted: "Look who I am!"

He originally wanted to use his identity as the "dead man" killed by the other party to frighten the other party and make the other party afraid of being cruel to the two children and the elderly, and then he took the opportunity to escape. As long as he Still in the water and not caught, they should have some scruples - which was also the last thing he could do in this situation.

But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he finished speaking, all the lights around him, whether it was the searchlights on the road, the lights in the cabins, or the flashlights in the hands of various gang members, fell into darkness.

Next, a very light drum beat sounded, from light to heavy, from slow to fast, each beat seemed to hit people's hearts, making people panic.

"Brother Hui" discovered that the drum sounds seemed to be coming from his mobile phone and everyone else's mobile phones.
