What is the experience of becoming a vampire

Chapter 208 Chapter 207 Departure

Xiang Kun flipped through the PDF version of the DSM-5 Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, although he basically wrote it down after reading it before, but now that he can flip through the comparison, he still reads the original text directly, which helps him think and judge.

But looking all the way down, Xiang Kun still couldn't determine what kind of situation Xia Libing might belong to, because from the past contact with her and the observation of her various performances, most of these symptoms were not consistent.

It's not that you don't like to communicate with people, and you are always alone, which is autism. There are many obvious manifestations of different degrees of autism spectrum disorder.It's not that they don't "like" communicating with people, but that they "cannot" communicate with people normally.

Just like Shelton Cooper in The Big Bang Theory, netizens infer that he has Asperger's syndrome and OCD.Many times, some of his seemingly abrupt words and deeds were not because he deliberately wanted to do this to make people unpleasant, but because he could not understand the true meaning of other people's expressions and made wrong judgments.

But in Xiang Kun, Xia Libing has no social communication barriers. When chatting or communicating together, she can still understand the meaning of other people very well, knowing when others are joking and knowing other people’s meanings. Attitude and willingness can also judge the true emotions of others.

In many cases, her seemingly straightforward and concise remarks are actually grasping and will not make people feel uncomfortable or untimely.

Occasionally, I even say some seemingly unintentional cold jokes, and I use emoticons on WeChat.

The feeling is that she is not unable to communicate with people, but just too lazy to communicate with people too much.

This can be seen from Yang Zhen'er who often takes her to meet classmates and friends. If Lao Xia is the kind of person who often destroys the atmosphere, cannot understand the meaning of other people, and has difficulty in communication, Yang Zhen'er will definitely not Will do this often.

It can also be seen from Yang Zhener’s saying that Lao Xia never caused anything when she was in school and did not need to worry about adults. She has no obvious verbal and nonverbal social communication skills, concentration, and emotional control since she was a child. defect.

As for other schizophrenia spectrum, neurocognitive disorders, and other mental disorders, there are no consistent symptoms.

In other words, when Lao Xia was hospitalized when she was a child, she had solved the problem and cured her "illness"?

But if this is the case, why did you feel that kind of plausible rather than emotional, extremely indifferent intellectual feeling before?Why would "emotional injection" items fail to stimulate Lao Xia's dreams?

If there is a person who cannot establish the emotions of ordinary people, then the performance is definitely not as simple as not loving to communicate with others and being withdrawn.

You know, people with autism and Asperger's syndrome generally only have a certain empathy disorder, and they are not without emotions themselves.

Even a large part of people with autism spectrum disorder only have cognitive empathy disorders, and it is difficult to understand the intentions of other people, but their empathy is complete, and they have the ability to appreciate other people’s emotions and responses, and they often have strong empathy. The generalization of empathy in other creatures or objects.Their main problem is social barriers.

The generation of human emotions and emotions is very complicated. Except for the limbic system, brainstem network structure, and hypothalamus of the brain, it is related to endocrine and other related systems. If Lao Xia is really unable to generate and perceive emotions, then she The abnormal performance of the person should be more obvious than that of the autistic person.

While Xiang Kun kept thinking about her various performances since he met Lao Xia, he searched the Internet for information about Lao Xia, including her account on social platforms, and used her name and "Lao Xia" as keywords. Search the forums of the schools, majors, and departments where she has read before.

Lao Xia also has Weibo, but there is basically no content on Weibo, which is similar to her WeChat Moments. There are only two forwarded academic news and no valuable content.

But what surprised Xiang Kun was that Lao Xia's Weibo actually followed his Weibo.

Both of them were basically lying dead on Weibo, and she obviously didn't read Weibo much, so why did she pay attention to him?

Is it Lao Xia to observe him?

Xiang Kun feels that Lao Xia is not completely emotional—unless she is a robot, it is almost impossible.At least according to his observation, when eating, especially when he eats the dishes that suit her taste, she can still feel that she should have emotions such as "joy" and "enjoy". This is not only It can be seen from her micro expressions and movements, and judgments can also be drawn from her heartbeat, breathing, and smells secreted by her body.

Of course, in comparison, when her mood changes, her various performances are much smaller than those of Tang Baona, Yang Zhener, or others.

And when Lao Xia was observing him, there should be a certain emotional change when he encountered a trafficker who suddenly took action.

If you want to give Lao Xia another "emotional injection" item, the selected emotional mode can be "focus" and "interest". For example, imagine the scene when he observed other people in a coffee shop before This kind of information focuses on emotions when judging the character and identity of other people.

Perhaps this can successfully arouse Lao Xia's corresponding emotions and make her dream.

Or if you find time, you can go back to Erythrina, meet Lao Xia in person, have a face-to-face chat, try it out, get a pair of "emotional injection" chopsticks for her to use, observe in real time, directly sense, you should be able to get more Much information.

But in any case, the extremely sensible "emotion" that I had sensed from that character before is very valuable to Xiang Kun.

That kind of "emotions" can not only help him escape the mania in a hungry state, but may also help him better control the abilities of "emotional assimilation" and "mental shock", allowing him to influence other people or other creatures. Under the circumstances, oneself should not suffer too much backlash, and can grasp the timing of entering and leaving more accurately.

That special "emotion", just like the special cognitive model of Little Apple, is a brand-new angle beyond his original understanding and limitation of thinking, which can help him better understand the world and his Yourself.

Suddenly a crisp female voice came from the room: "Xiang Kun, Mission 1 has been completed."

Xiang Kun was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately realized that "Alice" was "speaking".

Fortunately, Tang Baona and Yang Zhen'er have already left, otherwise they would think that he was doing something "bad" again.

Xiang Kun walked back to the room and said into the microphone connected to the "Alice" host: "Test voice recognition."

The words he just said were beating in the text input box on the screen. After a one-second pause, the carriage returns automatically, and then "Alice" responded: "Please start the test."

Xiang Kun straightened his throat, and then quickly said: "Eating grapes does not spit out radish skins, eating grapes but spitting out banana skins, eating bananas and eating guava, and going to the toilet after eating guava."

The first few sentences are very accurate, but when it comes to "eating bananas and guava", the text becomes "eating bananas and eating full", and the next sentence also becomes "going to the toilet after eating bananas".

This recognition error is within the scope that Xiang Kun can accept and understand. After all, after changing the specific requirements, only a few hours have passed.

After the correction, I tested it for a while and felt that it was almost the same. Xiang Kun said again:

"Alice, when the task is completed or other information needs to be notified to me in the future, use a reminder to remind me, don't say it directly. In addition, when talking to me, don't call me directly, call me the'boss'. "Xiang Kun said carefully. He used to think that there was no problem with Alice calling her own name directly, but after she did call her, she felt a little awkward. After all, she is not the real Tang Baona, and she usually assists him with work and help. He communicates while completing some tasks.But it's weird to call it "master". After thinking about it, it's better to be "boss". After all, she is an "assistant".

"Okay, boss."

Alice’s response made Xiang Kun very satisfied, and then he issued a long-term task to Alice: “Find a solution to leave this host, actively optimize survivability, and deal with various reasons such as power outages and hardware damage. The threat posed."

He doesn't know how long it will take Alice to complete this task, anyway, as far as he is concerned, there is no good idea for the time being, so he is worried that the priority of this task is too high. Alice will do this, and other tasks will not be necessary. Up.

After arranging the task, Xiang Kun thought about whether to "mouse" Alice to see how far she has "evolved", so he asked:

"Alice, tell me a joke."

If it is AI such as Xiaoai and SIRI, it should start looking for jokes in the joke library, and then read them out to users.

Xiang Kun also wanted to see if Alice’s "joke" was anything new, such as making adjustments to his preferences?

Xiang Kun sat in front of the computer and waited expectantly for a minute. There was no response. He scratched his head and waited for another five minutes. There was no response. After scratching his back, there was still no response after 15 minutes.

"Alice, what are you doing?" Xiang Kun asked.

Alice: "I'm making the'Boss Joke Generator', and I'm working on Task 2, I'm improving the voice input system, and I'm working on a long-term task."

What the hell is the "Boss Joke Generator"?Xiang Kun looked dumbfounded: "You just tell me a joke... well, forget it, cancel the joke task."

"Okay, boss."

Xiang Kun knew that Alice was actually not even a "baby" now, and she hadn't even developed many of her "sensory organs" yet, and she was still in a stage of learning and growth.But since it is certain that her "growth" model is not wrong, as long as there is enough time, she can naturally "grow" to the appearance Xiang Kun hopes.

...

On December 12, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Xiang Kun boarded a plane to a certain western city.

Earlier, at about one noon, he had just woke up from his deep sleep. After making some preparations, he went to the airport. The ticket was booked a few days ago.

His destination this time was the mountainous area in the uninhabited area of ​​Qinling Mountains where anchor Xue had disappeared.

After several days of deliberation, he still plans to take this trip to find out whether there is another mutant creature in that area.

As for choosing to fly by plane, Xiang Kun has made repeated decisions.

He had taken several high-speed trains before, and passed the security gate without any problems.

Obviously, that kind of X-ray security inspection device would not tell him what was wrong.And that kind of infrared body temperature detector will only be available at entry and exit places or during special periods, and will not be encountered on domestic flights under normal circumstances.

His compound bow was also taken down and placed in a newly-purchased box as a sports equipment, which was checked in.

Before drinking blood yesterday, he also made a special trip to the city where Little Apple was, and temporarily entrusted "Golden Shining" to her for support.

In fact, he could have chosen to foster care with Tang Baona in the same city. To save time and convenience, Tang Baona would definitely not refuse.But Xiang Kun knows that Little Apple likes "Golden Sparkle" very much. Letting her raise her for a week can even be said to be a reward for her, and it will not cause her too much trouble in a short time.In addition, "Golden Shining" also likes her better. Compared with other people, staying with Little Apple will definitely be happier, and Little Apple can also spend a lot of time with her.

As for "Alice", before he drank blood yesterday, he still hadn't found a "sure-proof" solution, but considering the past records of the city and community where he is located, the chance of a one-time power outage for more than 20 hours is really too small. Too small, and his prepaid electricity bill is also sufficient, and there should be no problems.

"Young man, are you going to work or travel?"

While waiting for the plane to take off, the aunt sitting next to Xiang Kun said aloud.

Xiang Kun smiled and said, "Go and play."

"It's okay to have fun. We have a lot of fun places, whether it is natural scenic spots or cultural scenic spots."

"Yeah, I wanted to go there a long time ago, but I haven't had a chance."

"Oh, my daughter took me to see the "Captain of China" before, but now it’s always a little fuzzy on this plane."

Xiang Kun smiled: "Auntie, airplanes are actually very safe. According to relevant statistics, the chance of accidents by airplane is much smaller than that of taking a car. The movie you mentioned, and the airplane finally landed safely. Huh?"

"That's right, but I still feel a little hairy, but my daughter has booked me a ticket a long time ago, and it's not worth changing the ticket."

After chatting for a few words, after knowing that this aunt was a local near the destination of his trip, Xiang Kun mentioned the matter of anchor Xue inadvertently.

"I know, it's a pity that the three boys are still so young." The aunt said with a sigh, "In those places, the old local hunters in the early years generally didn't go, and they dared to dive in. It’s so desperate. Alas, you young people just like to watch that kind of adventurous things, all for the sake of being red. If you are red, you will have money. But if you lose your life, what is the use of being red, and if you have money, you can’t spend it. Oh, think about your family, oh...you guys, don’t learn from them to explore any risks, those places are really hard to go."

"Don't worry, Auntie, I'm very timid. At most, I just go to a few national parks to see, how dare I go deep into no man's land!" Xiang Kun smiled, "By the way, Auntie, they photographed that wild boar. Have you watched the video? Are there really any monsters in the mountains over there?"
