What is the experience of becoming a vampire

Chapter 35 The Synergy of Hearing and Taste

Xiang Kun's house is only 70 square meters, with two bedrooms and one living room, and the balcony is not big, it can even be said to be relatively small.

But the better point is that the line of sight is not bad. It is far away from other tall buildings and you can see the mountains in the distance.

Without taking out the chair, Xiang Kun just lay directly on the tiles on the balcony—of course, the floor had been carefully wiped.

In the night, Xiang Kun's condition is particularly good, his body functions have reached the peak, his sensory abilities have undergone targeted training after the last three blood drinking, followed by mutation and evolution, and have been greatly improved.

However, limited by equipment and methods, he could not make accurate tests and statistics. He used his mobile phone to download an APP that can emit sound at 1-22000 Hz, but this can only test the frequency range of the sound he hears. Fa completely test the overall improvement of his hearing.He also used a fixed sound source as a reference, and then extended the distance, using the farthest distance that can be heard as the criterion.However, this judgment method requires a relatively fixed and stable environment, which is easily interfered and difficult to accurately test.

The sense of smell is the same, and only a more subjective approximate test can be performed.

Xiang Kun, lying on the balcony tiles, closed his eyes, relaxed his body muscles, and focused all his attention on hearing and smell, the primary hearing and the secondary smell.

For a while, the sound came rushing like a flood from a reservoir, all kinds of noises intertwined, and so did the smell.

The human brain has a very mature mechanism for processing external information, which can be said to be a protection mechanism or a lazy mechanism.

When the attention is not on sounds and smells, although the auditory and olfactory organs have been collecting information, this information will be weakened, filtered or even blocked by the brain.

When the attention is focused on sounds and smells, it can concentrate and enhance the transmission of information according to the information that the attention is focused on, and shield other influences.

However, it is one thing to hear a sound, smell a smell, and lock a sensory information. How to make a judgment based on this sensory information is another matter.

It's like sitting alone at home and hearing a car roaring by outside the house.

If he was attracted by this sound, then his mind would subconsciously show a picture of a car driving fast on the road outside the house.

This picture can appear because he is familiar with the road outside the house, he has also heard the sound of cars, and seen cars speeding on the road outside the house.

And if you are more familiar with the sound of car engines and exhaust sounds, you can even directly tell whether the car outside is a four-cylinder or a six-cylinder engine, whether it is a Ford or a Toyota, a broken diesel truck or a supercar, and the images constructed in your mind will also More specific and rich.

And this person sitting at home, hearing the crisp sound of footsteps upstairs, would tell that the sound was high heels. If he had not seen the residents upstairs, he might have a young girl in his mind. Long legs walking around in high heels, but if you see the resident upstairs is a fifty-year-old aunt, then when you hear the sound of high-heeled shoes, it will be a scene of a fifty-year-old aunt walking around.

The brain will make necessary "brain supplements" based on its own "database", experience, logic and instinct.

So it is one thing to be able to collect sensory information, and whether this information is really useful and help the brain make judgments is another matter.

The reason why Xiang Kun lies directly on the ground is not because there are no chairs to move out, no blankets to spread on the ground, but because in this reinforced concrete building, besides the air, the walls and the ground are the main sources of sound transmission. Medium, so lying on the ground and directly touching the ground, you can hear the sound of the whole building more easily.

Hearing all kinds of messy sounds, Xiang Kun carefully distinguished, and slowly screened, starting from the nearest voice, first the nearest downstairs 608. The voice seemed to be a middle-aged couple who was talking about going to university in the north. His son, and the news is broadcast on TV.

To the side, the next door was silent, there was no footsteps, no electrical appliances, no talking, and no breathing, but there was the sound of curtains being blown. It should be that the windows closed and the owner did not return.

Then he heard the voice of the little fat girl Liu Shiling he had seen during the day, so he located the place where her voice was 706-he knew that the little fat girl's home was 706.

Judging from the sound, the little fat girl and her mother are at home, her mother is urging her to take a bath, and she still refuses to move while watching cartoons in front of the TV.

Using 706 as the anchor point, Xiang Kun continued to distinguish the sound he heard and made a judgment.

When he hears the sound of footsteps, he can judge others based on the structure of his own home and other reference sounds, such as the sound of turning on the water tap, the sound of turning on the gas, the sound of lifting the cup, and the sound of other electrical appliances being turned on. Where in the home, and even in what kind of mobile trends.

At the same time, he can also use the smell to assist in his judgment. For example, he heard the sound of someone colliding with a spatula and cooking food in 402, and then he can judge what the other person is cooking, even the taste. Can guess seven or eight.

Moreover, mutual verification of smell and sound can also help him determine the position more accurately.

Time passed bit by bit. From the outside, the lights in the entire community gradually went out and fewer, and the voices and movements of each household gradually decreased.

After one o'clock in the morning, Xiang Kun opened his eyes, sat up from the ground, and stretched out.

He has used sound and smell to "walk around" the whole building, every household.Although the only people who have really met, said their first names, and recognized them are Liu Shiling, the little fat girl of 706, this evening, through the sound and smell, he recognized almost everyone, even a lot. "Secrets".

Of course, Xiang Kun did not want to explore the privacy of others, but to train.

Just as the muscle circumference increased, he began to train endurance and agility. After the rapid increase in sensory ability, he needs to train the brain's ability to process the sensory information obtained.

Just like two professional athletes with the same weight and similar muscle content, because they are engaged in different sports, perform different trainings, and use different methods of exerting strength, the results of exerting strength are naturally different.The punches of professional boxers are naturally heavier than professional basketball players, and the ability of professional basketball players to complete basketball moves at the same level of confrontation is definitely better than professional boxers.

Therefore, Xiang Kun knew that it was no use just to increase the sensory abilities. He still needs to practice and know how to apply this powerful sensory abilities.

The first stage is to collect the "samples" of sounds and odors that were not available before, and establish a "database" to become the instinct of smell and hearing. Most of it has been completed.

The second stage is what he is doing now, how to use sound and smell to help Xiang Kun judge the surrounding environment and situation, and become his "super eye".

Don’t look at him now that it takes five or six hours to “walk” a building. After he is familiar, maybe only a second or two, he can quickly locate anyone in the building by sound and smell, even in Real-time holographic images of the entire building are built in the brain.

Xiang Kun has discovered that as his sensory abilities evolve, his brain is also evolving. At least now when he is immersed in multiple sounds at the same time, he will no longer have the nausea and dizziness that he felt at the beginning.

At 7:30 the next morning, Xiang Kun went out with a sports bag on his back, ready to go to the gym. Although it was far away from the previous gym, it would take at least 40 to 50 minutes to take the subway and then transfer to the bus. I don't plan to change places to exercise. After all, the membership card has already been issued, but there is no way to refund.

And he didn't plan to go by car, but was going to run directly. This running process is also a training process.

After going out, Xiang Kun happened to see Liu Shiling of 706 also going out. Behind her was a plump-bodied young woman who was six to seven points similar to her, who should be her mother.

"Uncle Bald!" Liu Shiling ran over to greet Xiang Kun when she saw Xiang Kun.

When she heard this greeting, her mother was embarrassed immediately, and hurriedly came over and said: "Oh, sorry, the child is not sensible, and call me arbitrarily. Are you a new tenant of 708? You will be a neighbor in the future. If you need help, , Just say it."

The little fat girl ran to press the elevator, and Xiang Kunze chatted with Shiling's mother for a while, knowing that they actually moved in this year at 706, which was the house they bought.Liu Shiling's father was a construction worker and was often away from home, while Shiling's mother was a full-time housewife, mainly bringing this only daughter.

Xiang Kun also made a simple introduction, saying that he is a programmer and has been working for seven years, but he did not tell her that he is still unemployed.

They didn't wait long. There are two elevators in one unit, and soon there will be a descending elevator.

With a ding-dong, the elevator door opened, but a dog’s head stretched out, eager to rush. Liu Shiling, who was standing at the elevator door and about to enter, was taken aback. After two steps back, he almost fell. Xiang Kun on the side hurriedly He took her to hold her.

Looking back, there was a young girl in the elevator in her twenties, holding an adult husky. The husky was obviously very excited. When the elevator door opened, she wanted to jump out. The girl was playing with a mobile phone with one hand, but she almost didn't hold it. .

"PINKIE! PINKIE! STOP! Don't move!" The girl used her hands to hold the dog and shouted loudly.

But the Huskies kept thinking about it, and the little fat girl outside the elevator was obviously frightened, with a timid appearance, holding Xiang Kun's thighs and afraid to speak.

Shiling’s mother obviously knew the dog-holding girl, and frowned, “Miss Yang, your dog must be pulled properly. The elevator is such a small space, the dog is so big, the child is so small, what should I do if I was bitten and rushed? ..."

Ms. Yang pulled the dog and said without raising her head: "It's okay, PINKIE just wants to play with children and won't bite people. I will take it!...PINKIE! STOP! SIT! Hurry up and SIT!!!"

It's obviously not the first time that Shiling's mother complained to Miss Yang, and she knew it was useless, so she pressed the elevator and said to Xiang Kun, "You go down first, let's wait for the next one."

Xiang Kun took the little fat girl by the hand and walked into the elevator together.

At first, the little fat girl was a little scared and was reluctant to go in, but when she saw the husky who was very lively and eager just now, Miss Yang couldn't hold her back, she suddenly shrank behind Miss Yang, the dog's head pressed against the elevator wall. , Seems to be still shaking.

Xiang Kun turned around and said to Shiling's mother: "It's okay, let's come in together."
