What It’s Like Being a Vampire

The scalpel in Xia Libing's hand disappeared, and then he turned around and waved in the direction of Jiang Chun and the others, as if he was not afraid of a sneak attack by the giant elephant so close at hand.

Jiang Chun noticed that after the scalpel in Xia Libing's hand disappeared, the three coins hanging above her head fell onto her overturned palm. Then she naturally took the coins and put them back. In coat pocket.

Jiang Chun instantly understood that the very clear and powerful power he felt from Xia Libing, which was different from other peripheral sensory elements, mainly came from those three coins.

He couldn't help but touch a string of small hexagonal nuts hanging around his neck. After experiencing the incident of "the eight-armed eight-eyed giant came across the sea with a storm", he could often interact with some elements in the surrounding environment. There was a vague sense of connection. This hexagonal nut was something he picked up from a shipyard. He could feel the strong connection above.

Later, when he encountered a "sea monster" at sea, it was the hexagonal nuts he was carrying that saved his life at the critical moment, allowing him to escape, and also making him more sure that there was a special connection between himself and those hexagonal nuts.

After those life-saving nuts were lost in the sea, Jiang Chun found many more and made them into bracelets and necklaces to wear with him. He also gave many small nut jewelry made by himself to the two children he had rescued.

Of course, after establishing direct contact with the "Little Carrot Platform", receiving the message from Alice after the "Antarctic Crisis", connecting with domestic organizations, and becoming the head of the Southeast Asia branch, he became more He knew a lot of the secrets behind it, and knew that the vague connection between him and those little nuts and various things all came from Xiang Kun's influence on the world.

He also discovered that in addition to those small nuts, he could also have this vague connection with many other things. However, because he had been saved, he still had a "soft spot" for these small nuts.

Some time ago, he heard that "Dr.

If described according to Xia Libing's "spiritual control theory", the three coins are "spirit-possessed objects" with the highest "spiritual power".

And these little nuts are suitable "spiritual possessions" for him.

Although he had imagined that the application of power that this "spiritual control theory" might bring would be very powerful, he never expected that it would be as powerful as Xia Libing's display.

The huge amount of cream that suddenly appeared, the fireworks that exploded out of thin air, and the giant scalpel that appeared in the sky were not hallucinations. Not only did he smell the smell of cream and the smell of gunpowder from the fireworks, but they were also real. , It really had an impact on a behemoth of more than 20 tons!

In particular, the giant scalpel that appeared in the sky and was more than ten meters long was really shocking. This ability, just like the original eight-armed and eight-eyed giant illusion, completely subverted his cognitive system.

He also suddenly understood why Xia Libing brought them here to deal with the giant elephant - she did not need their help, she was conducting a "live teaching demonstration".

After Xia Libing came back, he said to the people who were still in a state of shock: "This was a special example. You don't need to reach this level in the future. In addition, there will be equipment specially made for capturing 'mutated creatures' in the future. If it is true, You need to deal with the 'mutated creatures', and you mainly use external equipment. 'Spirit Control Theory' is an auxiliary ability at work, and more importantly, it helps you understand the nature of the 'mutated creatures'.

"In this mission, you must focus on the early preparation and post-finishing. This is where your abilities are most needed. The initial stage will be like this time, and all practical implementation levels have been connected for you. You just need to decide when to start, but after that, you will have more and more things to do.”

Just as Jiang Chun had guessed, Xia Libing led the team here this time to capture the giant elephant. What was more important was to let Li Shijue and other people who might be independent in the field investigation department in the future get familiar with it first. The entire process, and have a more intuitive concept of the manifestations of "mutated creatures" and "spiritual control theory" that may be exposed to - displayed indoors through various electronic devices, even with Alice's assistance, there is no immersive experience The situation becomes more profound after experiencing a specific task.

Of course, she herself also wanted to find an opportunity to experiment with the application of her newly acquired abilities during this period.

After answering a few simple questions from Li Shijue, Yang Zhuo and others, Xia Libing said to Jiang Chun: "Go and ask Zuo Liu to wait at the intersection outside. The truck is coming and ask him to take over as the driver."

"But... Zuo Liu and Putpeng don't seem to know how to drive a heavy truck." Jiang Chun said.

"He will drive naturally after getting in the car." Xia Libing said with certainty.

Jiang Chun was stunned for a moment, remembering some of his experiences during this period, and understood a little bit.

When Jiang Chun called Zuo Liu, Yang Zhuo looked at the giant elephant in the distance that was still slumped on the ground and still didn't dare to move. He hesitated and said: "Doctor Xia, trucks can't come in here, and this guy can't get in." ...Even if I have to load the car, do I need to get a few cranes to lift it up?" When he and his sisters Yang Jie, Zhang Qian and others were playing with Xia Libing in private, he would always call her "Sister Bing" Yes, but when he was interning at the base and in the department, he was still called "Doctor Xia" like everyone else.

"There's no need to drive the car in. It will go out on its own later, and the injury will heal after a while." Xia Libing said, asking Yang Zhuo, Li Shijue and others to walk towards the giant elephant with him, preparing to make updates. Detailed "live teaching".

…

When Jiang Chun led Xia Libing, Li Shijue and others to the location of the giant elephant, Zuo Liu and Putpeng stayed at the beginning to prevent unsuspecting tourists or others from passing by - of course, normally It's impossible. No one would go to that remote area in the middle of the night. Moreover, there are local officials guarding the outside of the reserve, so ordinary people can't enter.

The two of them had no objection at all about being left here and not being able to catch the giant elephant. They were even slightly grateful.

They had seen poachers killed by giant elephants before, and together with Jiang Chun, they had seen the giant elephant from a distance and almost peeed in fear.

In their opinion, that fearful beast could only be dealt with by deploying the army, aircraft, artillery, and tanks. But it was too dangerous for six or seven people to go there, not to mention they didn't see anything they had brought. Heavy weapons.

Even if each of those people is as powerful as Brother Jiang, they may not be able to take care of the two brothers when they besiege the giant elephant. They don't want to be cannon fodder.

When they heard the roar of the giant elephant that resounded throughout the area, both of them felt a little weak in their legs and had the urge to run away.

However, not long after the roar, there was a crackling sound, like a cannon fire, which made them a little confused. Could it be that "Doctor Xia" and the others brought thermal weapons? Could it be the small equipment they carried in their backpacks?

While the two were still surprised, Zuo Liu's cell phone rang. After finding out that it was Jiang Chun, he answered the call nervously, fearing that he would hear Jiang Chun yelling "Call an ambulance", "Come for help", Words like "Run quickly and don't look back."

But what he didn't expect was that Jiang Chun asked him to wait on the road outside for a heavy truck to take over as the driver.

Zuo Liuyiyan arrived at the intersection where he parked his commercial vehicle and waited for more than ten minutes. Sure enough, a heavy truck drove over. After being stopped by him, the driver got out of the car consciously and unloaded from the back of the truck. I bought a motorcycle and rode away without saying a word from beginning to end.

Climbing into the cab, Zuo Liu had no intention of driving, and he didn't know how to drive such an exaggerated heavy truck. He thought he was just here to pick up the car, and when Brother Jiang and Dr. Xia came out, someone would naturally come to drive.

However, after entering the cab, he found that the car looked a little strange and was equipped with many electronic devices that he could not understand.

He didn't dare to touch the equipment, but when he was observing curiously, the door suddenly locked, and then the truck started, and the big truck started to drive on its own.

Zuo Liu was so frightened that he uttered a few curse words in Thai. He wanted to open the door, but found that it could not be opened. He did not dare to hit the door or smash the window. He could only hold the steering wheel and apply the brakes hard, but found that he could not control it at all. Can't live in trucks.

A cold electronic female voice sounded in the cab: "This is automatic driving, please cooperate."

Zuo Liu was stunned for a moment, thinking about some of his experiences with Jiang Chun during this period, and he understood. So he calmed down, put his hands on the steering wheel, and looked nervously ahead through the windshield.

The heavy truck drove very fast, but it didn't last long. Soon it started to reverse at an intersection, then turned around and returned to its previous position.

After the car stopped, Zuo Liu was already covered in sweat. Just now, his attention had been on the car. But now that the car stopped, he suddenly thought, what is such a big car parked here for?

Could it be... that he wanted to carry that giant elephant?

But how is that possible?

How could Jiang Chun and Doctor Xia transport the giant elephant from such a long distance?

More than half an hour later, there was a shaking on the ground. Zuo Liu watched offensively as a huge thing in the distance came slowly towards him. He subconsciously wanted to step on the accelerator and drive away, but found that the car did not move at all. Obviously, he still had no control. right.

But soon, he discovered through the moonlight that there seemed to be several human figures on the giant elephant?

His eyes widened, and he suddenly understood something.

He had been in awe of Jiang Chun and the Chinese research institution that he and Putpeng had joined before, but it was not until tonight, until this scene, that he truly realized what kind of organization he had joined.

——This is an organization that can control divine power.

…

In mid-October, Tang Baona went back to Shenhai by herself to attend a family dinner organized by her grandfather and uncle.

Today, Tang Baona's main external identity is the CEO of "Qiankun Technology". Although she and Yang Zhener often complain about each other as "the most idle CEO in history" and "the most clumsy CFO in history", for those who don't know them well, For two people who actually work, with the big tree of "Shenxing Technology", their respective titles are still very intimidating.

Therefore, this title will be very useful and can save a lot of trouble at various dinner parties and parties that you occasionally have to attend, such as weddings and other occasions.

But during family dinners, these titles are completely useless.

Mother Tang is still an old topic that must be discussed every time - Nana, when will you fall in love and get married?

In the past two years, they have directly targeted Xiang Kun - when will Mr. Xiang come back from Europe? How about we travel to Europe together and see Mr. Xiang?

It was obvious that Tang Baona was waiting for Xiang Kun. After all, Xiang Kun had already sent a coffee table to their family three years ago. If they said that these two people were just ordinary friends, Tang's mother would never believe it.

At the beginning, Tang Baona could always find reasons to excuse herself, and kept stating that she and Xiang Kun were just "partners."

But in the past two years, she didn't know how to deal with it anymore. She could only bite the bullet and let her mother talk about it every time.

Tang's mother also had some doubts. If Xiang Kun hadn't returned to China for so many years, he might have had another woman outside. The two of them had broken up and were secretly hiding it from her. Could it be that Nana is emotionally frustrated because of this and has not yet overcome her sadness, so she is unwilling to fall in love with anyone else?

So in addition to insinuating and questioning Tang Baona, she would also think of various ways to find out about Xiang Kun, and even tried to contact Xiang Kun directly. Unfortunately, she was never able to do so, and was used by all parties for various reasons. shirk.

Fortunately, every time the family gathers for dinner, no one except Tang's mother will help. They will even help Tang Baona to persuade her mother, saying things like "Nana is on the rise in her career now, don't worry about it for a while", "Nana is on the rise now." Na is getting more and more beautiful and beautiful now, there is no need to worry at all" and other words to reassure my mother.

This made Tang's mother often complain about several relatives, feeling that they did not help her and were too indulgent towards Nana.

As for Tang's father, he is basically only responsible for calming down Tang's mother's anger. He still wants to believe that his daughter can handle emotional problems on her own and that marriage will be a matter of course. However, in his words, he also expressed a lot of interest in her and Xiang Kun's situation.

This year, after talking about it for a whole meal at the dinner table, grandpa Mr. Feng finally agreed to help ask Nana what her plans were and what her situation was with Xiang Kun.

However, Mr. Feng, on the grounds that Nana might not be able to tell the truth easily in the presence of Tang's mother, asked her and Tang's father to go home first.

After mom and dad came home, the two aunts also brought several cousins ​​back home. Tang Baona sat in the living room of her grandpa's house, watching her grandpa, two uncles, her sister Bao Ting, and her brother-in-law Gao Yao sitting on the sofa opposite. , I felt like I was a suspect waiting to be interrogated by the three courts, and I couldn't help but want to laugh.

Tang Baona was not panicked. In the past two or three years, she had become very good at dealing with the family, and she had already thought of excuses and excuses for various problems.

But what I didn't expect was that when my grandfather opened his mouth, he said, "Xiang Kun is not going to Europe, is he?"

"Ah? It's Europe...the company's business...well, where else can we go besides Europe...why does grandpa ask that?" Grandpa didn't follow the routine. Tang Baona was a little confused for a moment. She wanted to put on a Bluetooth headset and apply for Alice. off-site rescue.

Second uncle Feng Xiuye ​​also said: "Nana, there is no need to hide it from us. We actually guessed it three years ago. Xiang Kun... went to the Antarctic, right?"
