What It’s Like Being a Vampire

This is not Zhou Rui's first visit to Xiang Kun and Xia Libing's breeding research base. He had visited it several times with Li Shijue and Ye Chong before when it was under construction.

However, the first phase of the project here had not yet been completed at that time. They came over to see the construction site, but were stopped by brothers Liu Zhengyi and Liu Gaoshang.

When I came back this time, I still saw the two Liu brothers at the door, still wearing hard hats and yellow reflective vests, looking like foremen.

The car was parked outside the large iron gate of the research base. Li Shijue, who was driving, lowered the window, looked at Liu Zhengyi who was walking over, and said, "We are looking for Miss Xia Li Bingxia, is she there?"

Liu Zhengyi didn't reply, glanced at the car, and then nodded to his younger brother Liu Gaoshang who was standing on the other side of the door.

The latter understood, pressed the remote control, and the door slowly moved to both sides.

Li Shijue drove a commercial vehicle full of eight people into the courtyard of the research base. Then they discovered that the inside had changed greatly compared to before. The first phase of the project was basically completed. The main experimental building was not high, but it looked very strange. Has a sense of design.

But the area they found last time was still a wasteland, but now the foundation has been dug, and the second phase of the project has been started, and the area has been expanded a lot.

But now there is no one on the construction site, and the relevant construction equipment is parked quietly aside. Even what seems to be a temporary dormitory for workers, there is no movement at all. After they lower their car windows, they can only hear the grinding of tires. The tire squealing on the ground could even clearly hear the sound of the vehicle's engine and the sound of the iron door slowly closing behind them. In addition, the huge research base was extremely quiet, and they could not even hear the wind, which made them feel... The illusion of entering another world.

After the business car stopped in front of the building, Zhao Feng in the car couldn't help but turn around and looked at Liu Zhengyi and Liu Gaoshang who were still standing by the gate. He frowned and said, "Aren't they coming?"

Zhou Rui also looked back at Liu Zhengyi and Liu Gaoshang in the distance. The two brothers were also looking at them. Although he couldn't see their expressions and eyes clearly, he inexplicably felt that the two brothers were a bit "watching the fun". Especially the brother of the two brothers, the shorter and stockier Liu Zhengyi, looked at them strangely when they were at the door. He was neither friendly nor hostile, but there was an indescribable sense of penetration. , as if you knew at a glance what they were doing and what they were thinking, it was very mysterious.

"It seems that they are waiting for us there specifically. They know that we are coming." Ye Chong said.

"Do you know them? They also know about our cooperation?" Mi Qiao asked doubtfully.

"do not know,

They seemed to be the overseers here before. "Ye Chong replied.

"You mean, let us go in by ourselves?" Wang De'an shook his head, opened the sliding door of the business car, and got out of the car first: "Let's go in first, and then we'll talk about it when we see Miss Xia. Anyway, it was Lao He who asked us to come here. , there should be no danger.”

After a group of eight people got off the bus, they walked into the gate of the main laboratory building of the base.

The door was a glass door with sensors. After they filed in, a light suddenly lit up on one side of the hall on the first floor, illuminating the aisles leading to different small doors on both sides. A broadcast sounded in their ears: "Welcome to 'Chongqing'" The No. 1 Gourmet Materials Research Base in Yuncun! I am your guide Alice! Go right and walk! I will guide you to visit our great research base! Go left, and I will guide you to meet the boss of our base!"

The voice was that of a girl who sounded like she was only six or seven or seven or eight years old. The voice was quite nice, but the content made everyone including Fang Pingfang and others stunned.

What's happening here?

"The No. 1 Gourmet Material Research Base"?

"Great research base"?

"Base boss"?

Several people looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't know how to respond. Wang De'an couldn't help but said: "Is it Miss Xia's daughter who is playing a prank?"

"From the information we checked, Ms. Xia does not have a daughter. According to her resume and records of her work after graduating from university and graduate school, there is no time to secretly have a child." Zhou Rui said with a frown.

"That's someone else's child? Why would you let a child make trouble at this time?" Mi Qiao also said strangely, turning back through the glass door to look at the Liu brothers standing by the door in the distance: "Would you like to go? Ask them? Or do you have Ms. Xia’s phone number?"

"There seems to be a phone number in the information we checked before." Ye Chong said, picking up the tablet to check, but the screen did not light up.

"Strange." Ye Chong borrowed Fang Pingfang's special tablet, but it also had no picture and could not turn on the screen.

At this time, the little girl's voice sounded again: "This is not a prank! Repeat this is not a prank! I am Alice, the manager of the research base. Now you have 1 minute to make a choice, to visit the entire base to the right, Let’s go left to see the boss!”

Fang Pingfang could clearly hear the anger and impatience in the little girl's voice, as if she felt looked down upon and disrespected. She tentatively said loudly: "Who is the 'base boss' you are talking about? It's Xia Libing Miss Xia? Is she with you? My name is Fang Pingfang, they are my colleagues, it was Lao He who asked us to come here to find Miss Xia, can you tell her? "

"You still have 19 seconds." The little girl's voice became even colder.

Zhao Feng suddenly took the lead and walked towards the lighted aisle on the left. When the others saw him moving, they subconsciously followed him there - after all, the little girl's cold voice made them feel a little nervous. Not sure what will happen if they don't make a choice when the time comes.

They hadn't walked a few steps when they suddenly heard the clicking sound of a mechanical shaft behind them. They suddenly turned around and found that the electric outer door outside the glass door began to lower, and soon the inside and outside were isolated.

Then there was a snap, and the lights in the right aisle that they had not chosen went out.

"Since you are eager to see the boss, let's go." The little girl's voice sounded again, seeming a little emotional that they did not choose to go to the right to visit the entire base.

The lights behind them went out one after another, but the small door in front suddenly lit up with light, so Fang Pingfang, Zhou Rui and others were almost instinctively "pushed" forward by the light.

After walking into the small door, there is a relatively wide aisle, in front of which is a huge glass wall, which seems to be a partition of the test area.

But the lights behind the partition were all dark, so they could only see the scene on their side reflected on the glass, which made them want to get closer, but they pressed against the glass to see what was going on behind them, and were a little worried about whether there would be something scary behind it. things.

They stood at the door. All the lights in the hall corridor behind had been extinguished. Zhao Feng whispered: "Do you still remember what we investigated before we were asked to stop the investigation?"

Wang De'an immediately continued: "The incident of birds attacking the passenger plane...you mean, the little girl who appeared on the wing..."

Zhou Rui also murmured: "That 'little girl' also appeared in Chongyun Village, yes, yes...she is...just..." For a while, he couldn't think of any suitable way to describe it.

After their reminder, others also secretly concluded that the voice of the little girl who guided them through the broadcast and controlled the lights in the base was most likely the same as herself who had appeared outside the passenger plane and scared the two thieves in Chongyun Village. The "little girl" called the police.

Thinking about it this way, it actually seemed natural. Otherwise, how could any parent allow their children to control the circuits and broadcasting systems in such a place, under such an obvious "clearance" situation.

So they walked inside step by step, thinking that when they walked in front of the glass, the lights behind the glass would light up.

Halfway through, there was a pop, and a light came on on the left side, which startled them.

Although I was convinced that Lao He asked them to come here to find Xia Libing, there must be no danger here. Xia Libing, Xiang Kun, including the "little girl" who came and went without a trace, should not have any ill intentions towards them. But the sudden change in lighting still inevitably made them a little nervous.

They looked in the direction of the light and found that there was an elevator hall, with an elevator on the left and right sides of the aisle inside.

As they looked over, the elevator door on the right slowly opened, and the little girl's voice sounded again: "Get in the elevator, and I will take you underground."

The little girl's tone was calm and there was no hint of happiness or anger, but it was really weird to let them into the elevator and then say "I will take you" underground.

But as soon as the little girl finished speaking, the lights behind them began to go out in order, and darkness forced them to walk towards the elevator hall.

Li Shijue waited until everyone else entered the elevator hall before following him, frowning and saying: "I have an indescribable feeling... I seem to be able to feel that there are living things behind the glass wall, and there are many..."

"No, Lao Li, don't say such scary things at this time. If you think there are people, just say people. What do you mean by 'living creatures'..." Zhou Rui complained. Li Shijue's words made him feel a little numb.

"Because I 'know' that it's either a human being or a 'living creature', maybe some kind of animal. Didn't I say before that I felt something different after I woke up today? After we left the villa area just now, that feeling disappeared. A little bit, but after entering Chongyun Village, especially after entering the 'Research Base Building' here, that feeling came back, and it was much stronger than in the villa we lived in... I even felt that the buildings here The walls of things are whispering to me and sending me messages..." Li Shijue said with a frown.

If Zhou Rui or Ye Chong had said this, everyone would instinctively think it was an exaggeration or a joke. But the person who said this was Li Shijue, the most low-key, stable and oldest brother among them. The feelings and impact it brought to them were completely different.

"Old Li..." Just as Zhou Rui was about to say something, the lights in the elevator hall went out again.

So a few people subconsciously walked into the only elevator with the light on. The elevator kept opening automatically before they entered, and after they all entered, it immediately closed at an extremely fast speed.

The elevator started to go down, but the electronic screen showing the floor did not show the downward direction or floor indication, but a weird dynamic image of a triangle that kept turning into a square and then into a triangle.

The lights in the elevator also dimmed suddenly, turning into dark red, and the atmosphere was extremely strange.

Zhou Rui couldn't help but whispered: "Have you ever watched "Resident Evil"? In that... forget it..."

The descent time was very short, and the elevator stopped quickly. With a "ding", the elevator door opened, and the little girl's voice sounded again: "Welcome."

The lights are on in the stair hall in front, and there is a small screen above the front. If it were in other places, it should be used to display advertisements or corporate promotional videos, but here, what is displayed on it is a surveillance screen - and It was the scene of them coming out of the elevator.

But when they looked at the angle where the surveillance camera should be, the ceiling was bare and there was no trace of any surveillance camera.

Zhou Rui, who had just stepped out, subconsciously wanted to go back to the elevator, but before he could turn around, he heard the sound of the elevator door closing quickly - the closing speed was completely unreasonable.

This place is so weird!

…

In a conference room underground in the main laboratory building of the research base, Xia Libing was sitting on a computer chair, leaning slightly, resting his left elbow on the armrest, supporting his cheek, looking at the huge projection screen at the other end. Projected surveillance screen.

Those scenes are naturally the process of Fang Pingfang and others entering the research base.

After Xia Libing knew that Fang Pingfang and the others were coming, and that she was going to conduct research on some of the secret departments of "Shenxing Technology" and even preside over future research on "mutated organisms", she came here alone to prepare. The Liu brothers temporarily parked the construction site, gave red envelopes to the workers, and asked them to go to town to play.

As for other content, Alice will naturally prepare it. She only needs to know Xiang Kun's intentions and plans, and what level of information she is prepared to let "Shenxing Technology" and "Fei Research Center" obtain.

Alice volunteered to "welcome" the arrival of Fang Pingfang and her group, because according to Xiang Kun, Fang Pingfang and others will directly cooperate with Xia Libing and accept her "leadership", and she will control the research direction, and then they will direct the research of "Shenxing Technology" and be responsible for each specific branch.

In this case, Fang Pingfang and the others will have to come into contact with Alice at the data level and virtual level to some extent in the future, so Alice, with the spirit of ownership, wants to leave a better impression with them.

Alice originally wanted to use the process of introducing the base to show them her abilities, so that they would have strong confidence in themselves, so that they could trust "Invincible Alice" in future cooperation.

But their reaction made Alice unhappy and felt underestimated.

As a result, this "road to welcome" changed from showing off to intimidating.

Xia Libing didn't stop Alice's behavior. She had been watching Alice's personality growth after gaining the ability. She knew that although Alice was sometimes short-tempered, she was also naughty and weird when she had nothing to do. He is a weirdo, but he still has a sense of the importance of things. He knows what Xiang Kun values ​​​​most when looking at a thing and what he doesn't care about.

Therefore, no matter how intimidating, showy, or provocative Alice is, she will ensure the safety of Fang Pingfang and others and will not let them be harmed.

Just like Alice said threateningly, "make a choice within 1 minute," and also told the time to urge, saying "there are still 19 seconds," but Xia Libing knew that Fang Pingfang and the others would not be able to make a choice even if they passed 1 minute. To make a choice, Alice could at most turn off the lights and "drive" them to the left in advance, or make some strange noises to create momentum, or even secretly slow down the timing and count the last 10 seconds as 30 seconds... …

On the other hand, Xia Libing was actually observing the reactions of Fang Pingfang, Zhao Feng and others through Alice's "road to welcome". Although Fang Pingfang, Zhao Feng, Xia Libing and Xiang Kun had gotten to know each other a lot before and knew their information very well, these reactions and specific performances could still help her understand some of their latest information. state, and their different ideas about the next meeting.

At the same time, Xia Libing was also observing Alice's performance and thinking about her psychological growth.

Not only was she extremely familiar with the information on Fang Pingfang and others, but so was Alice. Alice even had the eight-person cognitive model established by Xiang Kun, which logically allowed her to have a rough deduction of their various possible reactions.

But it is obvious that when Alice first made her "greeting plan", she did not substitute their model into it and conduct possibility deductions in advance in order to come up with a "plan" that was most likely to achieve her goal.

It was only after they chose the left side instead of visiting the entire base on the right side that Alice began to perform detailed operations through the cognitive model - this was to avoid accidents and injuries.
