What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Latest website: In fact, Xiang Kun also had the idea of ​​using the fearful emotional projection of the "eight-armed eight-eyed wooden sculpture" to coordinate people's hearts and maintain order.

But at the beginning, he was worried about whether the fearful influence caused by the "eight-armed and eight-eyed wooden sculpture" would have any sequelae on ordinary people, and whether there would be any adverse reactions that have not been discovered yet.

After having enough samples, I know that this thing has the effect of "punishment for guilty and introspection for innocence", and it will basically not cause any harm to ordinary people.

But he understood at that time that the range of influence of the emotional projection of "qingzhuwu" was not unlimited.

If it only affects a single person or multiple targets in a small area, it is naturally very simple. If it wants to affect a large number of targets in a large area, it requires enough "hyper-connected objects" around it.

Just like in Montamila before, Alice is far from being integrated with the "super-sensory object system". She does not have the powerful, batch-based, and automated "super-connected object" correlation and delivery capabilities. The city had not been equipped with enough "super-connected objects" in advance, so he wanted to have a large-scale influence in the city and let more people in the city see the "eight-armed and eight-eyed giant illusion". He could only do so through "super-sense". In the "super-sensory state", it is very cumbersome and troublesome to constantly control the movement of a bunch of "super-connected objects balls", and then constantly leave the "super-sensory state" and transfer positions so that more precise control can be achieved.

On the other hand, to carry out a large-scale emotional projection influence, it is inevitable that there will be differences in the effects of emotional influence. In this case, the effect of emotional projection can be best achieved if there are the same type of emotions in the area. Just like in Montamila, due to the occurrence of riots, there was already a lot of fear in the affected area, which in turn gave the "emotional projection" a gain and a carrier for it to be displayed.

If we talk about these two conditions alone, at this point in time, when Alice has perfectly integrated the "super-sensory object system" and "super-connected objects" and has been put into most human settlements around the world, they can actually be perfectly solved. .

When necessary, Alice can even be asked to play Tang Baona's songs corresponding to a certain emotion in the area to warm up the emotions first, mobilize emotional resonance, and create a perfect environment for "emotional projection".

But the biggest problem is that Xiang Kun has discovered that the influence of "emotional projection" does not end after the illusion and immediate emotional detonation. It is a continuous influence that will even interact with the corresponding "emotional projection" Deep Consciousness Connection.

The emergence of the "Emotional and Material Secondary Network" is proof of this situation.

Through the analysis and understanding of the "Emotional and Material Secondary Network", Xiang Kun believes that this system has a capacity limit.

There is an upper limit for establishing a secondary network connection, and there is an upper limit for ordinary units affected by emotional projection, just like the membership service and visitor access of a website server.

Although it is still far away from that upper limit, Xiang Kun probably knows that there is such an upper limit. As for the upper limit, it is probably related to his emotional carrying capacity. Because when being affected by a large range of emotional projection, he himself will also receive very weak feedback from the same emotion. This feedback will have no impact if it is a few people, but if a large number of people are affected, a large number of weak feedback will Together they will exceed their limits.

Of course, this limit is very large. For the time being, it is definitely no problem to affect a city with a population of four to five million people at the same time. But if it is larger, it is difficult to say. After all, how many people affected by emotional projection will be affected by it later? He was not sure about the connection established by the "Qingzhuwu Secondary Network".

So for the time being, he will use the fear emotion projection of the "Eight Arms and Eight Eyes Woodcarving" on a small scale to achieve some goals, and will also allow Alice, Little Apple, and Little Fat Girl to cooperate in the projection of remote emotion projections, which will continue The four cat wood carvings in the "Youlong Hotel" are used to perform long-term emotional projections, but unless there is an emergency like Monta Mira, the "eight-armed and eight-eyed wood carvings" will not be fully projected to project the fearful emotions. Order is established.

In the future, when the "super-sensory object system" is further improved and the connection between the "emotional object secondary network" is more comprehensively understood, a more standardized and standard emotional object link may be established, and the upper limit will not be reached by then. existence, it is not impossible to use emotional projection to correct and unify thoughts and behaviors.

Now it is just the most basic demo version and naturally cannot be put into large-scale use.

But Xiang Kun couldn't explain these details to Mr. Liang one by one, so he just reduced them to one sentence:

“The conditions for full and wide-scale use are not yet available.”

After completing Xiaoluobo's fusion experiment on "non-user mutated organisms" and slapping the "Ultimate Predator" who tried to use Xiaoding as a "spy" to obtain information, Xiang Kun and Mr. Liang also left the underground passage.

As they left, the large amount of moss in the ground began to dissipate and collapse, moving deeper and deeper, like an army retreating.

After returning to the ground, Xiang Kun walked naturally among the city streets. Mr. Liang, who was in an invisible state, followed him. He was a little confused and didn't understand why he came to the city.

When he wasn't walking beside Xiang Kun, he suddenly felt that the city seemed a little different. Even if he didn't consciously sense it or get information through his reconnaissance drone, he could still know some of the surrounding buildings. , some electrical facilities, and the positions of some electronic equipment, as if there is a special connection somewhere.

He couldn't help but immerse himself in it, feeling as if his soul had emerged from his shell and was traveling freely.

He vaguely found out that the first thing that had a clear connection with the surroundings was electronic equipment, and the second was simple metal objects.

But not every piece of electronic equipment or every metal object can feel. It's just a part of it. He can't tell the difference between the presence and absence of this kind of perception.

It seems that newer equipment is more likely to produce that kind of vague perception and vague connection?

While Mr. Liang was immersed in this perception, Xiang Kun entered a fast food restaurant and bought two burgers.

This made Mr. Liang very confused. Xiang Kun and he couldn't eat ordinary food, so why did they buy hamburgers?

Moreover, the cash that Xiang Kun used to buy burgers was delivered to them by someone when they first arrived in the city from the wild. It was obviously planned in advance and not a sudden whim.

Xiang Kun took the paper bag containing the burgers and continued walking. He walked into a park and reached a deserted corner. He sat down at one end of a bench and handed a hamburger to Mr. Liang. He picked up one and bit into it. After taking a bite, he said while chewing: "No need to be invisible, it's okay, no one will come here." With Alice here, when she finds someone coming this way, she will perform some operations to lure them away.

Mr. Liang hesitated for a moment, but still showed his body as instructed, then took the burger and sat down on the other side of the bench.

Even though he had stopped exerting his strength, the bench still made a loud squeak after sitting down. Their combined weight was nearly 600 kilograms, and their body density was extremely high, and the contact surface with the chair was relatively small.

"Can you...eat ordinary food?" Mr. Liang glanced at the burger in his hand and asked with a frown.

"You can swallow it temporarily, and then spit it out after eating." Xiang Kun said with a smile while eating a burger. Now when he eats normally, he no longer needs to swallow the pebbles that have established a "supersensory connection" to calm his stomach. I have been able to control the feeling of nausea and vomiting, but the food I eat still cannot be digested directly, and I still have to vomit it out. However, the time for vomiting can be controlled by himself, whether it is two to three hours or more than ten hours.

Xiang Kun glanced at him: "Eat it, you can taste it. Just spit it into the paper bag after you finish it."

He paused for a moment and looked at the slowly darkening sky in the distance: "The next step is the last stop of our 'hunting trip'. After completing the blood-drinking process, we will start There is no way to stop the implementation of the plan. And after the plan... Although I think the success rate of the plan is over 90%, I cannot guarantee that I can keep your current body. In the future... if you reshape your body, taste memory , I’m not sure whether I can still find the same feeling in my taste senses. So, let’s take a few last bites.”

Mr. Liang looked at the burger in his hand and was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly said: "Can you read my memory?"

Xiang Kun did not deny it, and said: "It can't be regarded as reading memory. It should be said that... I have seen a few of your dreams. When you drink blood, it is the only time you can dream."

Mr. Liang nodded and did not ask further questions. Anyway, Xiang Kun's magical abilities were displayed one after another, and he had long given up understanding them according to his previous cognitive framework.

Mr. Liang grinned from the corner of his mouth to the base of his ears, opened his mouth big enough to swallow five or six burgers at once, very carefully took a small bite of the burger in his hand, and then chewed it slowly in his mouth.

If he was still the same human being as before, he would have closed his eyes and slowly experienced the taste, but now his eyes had no eyelids and no function of closing them.

He looked at the blood-red sunset in the distance and chewed the burger in his mouth, as if he had returned to the underground laboratory a few years ago.

…

"Dang Dang Dang! A Liang! Look, what is this!"

A beautiful girl took out a bag and said to Lu Qinliang who had just walked into the laboratory.

Lu Qinliang looked at the "KFO Burger" logo on the plastic bag and wondered whether he should laugh or cry: "Where did you get this? How did you buy it..."

Academician Shen, who followed him in, glanced at it and said, "Oh, Xiaoxue asked me to buy it. She said that this kind of Western fast food is popular outside now and that young people like to eat it."

When he heard that Academician Shen bought it, Lu Qinliang had to swallow "Why did you buy a copycat?" and walked over to watch Xiaoxue curiously digging holes in the three opened burgers.

"What are you doing?" Lu Qinliang asked puzzled.

"I want to put a candle." Xiaoxue said, putting the candle on the burger: "Happy birthday! Aliang!"

Lu Qinliang watched blankly as Xiaoxue inserted a thumb-thick white candle for lighting on the burger. After lighting it, she held it in front of him. Academician Shen also stood not far away, nodding slightly: "Birthday Happy, A Liang."

For a moment, he wanted to laugh and cry, feel moved and funny at the same time, but the corners of his mouth opened involuntarily, with a silly smile on his face.

"Come on, come on, blow out the candles, and let's eat burgers together." Xiaoxue urged.

Academician Shen also nodded: "Well, this kind of open flame is against laboratory regulations and will not be done again."

Lu Qinliang was dumbfounded as he blew out the candle, took the burger and said, "We can't eat ordinary food, so there's no point buying food. You might as well buy me clothes or something. Even if you want to buy food, buy it for my birthday." Cake or something, how can anyone buy a hamburger for someone’s birthday?”

Xiaoxue rolled her eyes at him: "Because I haven't eaten a hamburger for a long time, and I want to eat a hamburger!"

"Okay, okay." Lu Qinliang smiled helplessly.

"Academician Shen, come on, you haven't eaten for a long time. Come and have a taste." Xiaoxue smiled and picked up a burger and handed it to Academician Shen.

So, three people sat around Zhuo, one person holding a hamburger, chewing it carefully, and then spit it into the trash can or plastic bag next to it.

If you just looked at this picture without looking at the surrounding laboratory equipment, you would probably think that it was a father eating with his two children.

…

On the bench in the park, Mr. Liang had already finished eating the burger in his hand. He was still looking at the sky in the distance, which was completely dark.

The corners of his mouth curled up to his ears, and he smiled unconsciously.

Xiang Kun, who was next to him, did not urge or make a sound. He waited until Mr. Liang's body returned to the invisible state before standing up - he knew that Mr. Liang was ready.

"Let's go, the last stop." Xiang Kun said.

…

Pengcheng City.

Zhang Qian met Yang Jie, Yang Zhuo's brother and sister, and Yang Zhuo's girlfriend Xiao Min who had just arrived at the airport pick-up gate.

"Hey, didn't you say on WeChat that you were extremely busy? How come you still have time to pick us up?" Yang Jie asked strangely.

It was the National Day holiday and they came to Pengcheng City to play. Originally, Zhang Qian had something to do with the company and couldn't pick them up, so she sent the company's driver here, but she didn't expect that she still came here by herself.

Zhang Qian helped them put their luggage and sighed: "I was so busy that Xiang Kun didn't know how to do it. What path did he take? He actually cooperated with 'Shenxing Technology' and sent someone over there." Docking, a lot of things. I am really working hard! We are obviously cooperating with Qiankun Technology, but the people who go to do docking and discuss the plan in detail are all our people, Xiang Kun, Yang Zhener, Lao Xia, Na Na, no one is here, I’m going to choke you, my head is too busy!”

"Then you are still free to come pick us up now?" Yang Jie frowned and said, "Just go about your business. We are not children who will get lost."

"Oh, my old man is here." Zhang Qian said helplessly.
