What is the experience of becoming a vampire

Pengcheng.

In a meeting room on the 10th floor of an office building, eight people, including Zhang Qian and Tang Baona, were in a meeting to discuss some temporary problems.

However, the expressions on the faces of several people are relatively relaxed. After all, they are not encountering any major problems, and time is not tight.

Only Yang Zhener, who was sitting at the corner of the conference table and looking at the notebook, had a solemn expression, as if she felt that the problem was serious, and she was very dissatisfied with the way Tang Baona and Zhang Qian discussed.

However, until the discussion of the problem was over, when Tang Baona, Zhang Qian, and other people in the meeting room all got up and started to pack their things and leave, she did not say a word, but silently closed the laptop and followed Tang Baona. Leave, as if she was just a meeting recorder.

Zhang Qian and others had to take the elevator down to the underground parking lot to drive, but Tang Baona and Yang Zhener lived in a hotel near the office building and could be reached on foot, so they said goodbye on the first floor.

Out of the office building door, Tang Baona glanced at Yang Zhener, who was carrying a backpack next to her and still squinting. She seemed to have something to worry about. She couldn't help but smile and said, "When we had a meeting just now, you were looking at something very heavy and miserable. Social news? Why have you been so bitter?"

Yang Zhener was stunned when he heard the words, and then said unconvinced: "Hey? Why are you wronging someone? Am I the kind of person who would openly watch the news and fish when other people are meeting to discuss business matters? I can't just watch Company documents, are you thinking about the issues you are discussing? Maybe I also have unique insights! None of you just asked my opinion!"

"So,'Manager Yang', what's your opinion?" Tang Baona shook her right fist, pretending to hold a microphone and handed it over.

Yang Zhen'er stopped, leaned back slightly, glared at her, and said, "This is not in the conference room, and Zhang Qian and others are not there. It's useless if I tell you, don't tell!"

"Oh, you're still playing tricks?" Tang Baona said. She took Yang Zhen'er's neck in the past and leaned her against her, and smiled: "Come on, I was in the meeting room just now. I can see what you’re watching on your screen. You’re watching the news in pictures and texts! I’m on Weibo! I’m still reading Zhihu! There is also a white background. What website is it from?"

"I'm not! I don't!" Yang Zhener clasped Tang Baona's neck with her backhand and said shamelessly.

"Don't admit it yet, you take out the computer and look at the browser history record, there are all browsing time on it!" Tang Baona tried backwards, strangling Yang Zhener's neck, and said with a smile.

Yang Zhen'er was first caught under the armpit by Nana. She lost her position advantage and couldn't use her strength. She couldn't resist. She had to poke her hand down and scratched her waist.

Tang Baona bounced away with a smile, and then reached out to grab her computer bag.

While hiding, Yang Zhen'er said with a "serious" expression: "Don't make trouble, tell you a big, big thing I found!"

"What's the matter? The fan you were chasing after was cut, or the peripherals you wanted to buy were out of stock, or your mom asked you to go back to get married, and your dad asked you to go back to inherit the family business, and your driver's license scores were deducted. Forgot the annual inspection of the car?" Tang Baona obviously felt that she was changing the subject, and naturally teased it casually.

Yang Zhener ignored the friend's banter and continued to maintain a serious expression: "It's related to Chef Xiang. Do you remember the news about Myanmar that we talked about when we were eating at noon? There was riots, and the one where monsters appeared? "

Tang Baona asked strangely: "You mean that many people saw hallucinations in Montamilla? What does that matter have to do with Xiang Kun?"

When they had dinner with Zhang Qian and others at noon, Director Lin talked about the news casually, but simply said that the riots in Muntamira, Burma, followed by an illusion of a huge monster, which frightened the mob. , Stopped the riot.

But because they had other things to talk about at the time, this topic was only casually mentioned. Director Lin didn't elaborate on it, and other people didn't discuss it in depth.

After all, it happened in another country, and to Tang Baona, what kind of monster hallucinations and illusions sounded like some kind of group confusing behavior, and it was not the information she would pay attention to and curiosity.

"Do you know what the monster illusion that appeared in Montamira is like?" Yang Zhen'er came over and said mysteriously.

"Since it is an illusion, does it matter what it is like?" Tang Baona asked strangely.

Yang Zhener shook his head: "Several blocks, many people have seen the same illusion, but it is not just an illusion. You know, all the monster illusions they saw have one characteristic, eight arms, eight One eye! How do you think of something?"

Tang Baona frowned slightly: "You mean, the wooden sculpture that Xiang Kun had previously carved?"

"Yes, yes, that's the eight-armed eight-eyed wood carving that he gave to your grandfather. Later, your second uncle secretly sent the wood carving for someone to'practice', and then you found it and wanted to come back? Are you not? Having said that, Chef Xiang told you that the eight-armed and eight-eyed image was designed by himself?" Yang Zhener nodded and said.

"He did say it at the beginning, but the image of eight eyes and eight arms shouldn't be his unique woodcarving special guide?" Tang Baona said.

Yang Zhen'er took out his mobile phone, checked it for a while, and showed it to her: "Look, this is the wood carving from Chef Xiang."

When Xiang Kun gave Tang Baona the eight-armed eight-eyed wood carving, she also took a few photos, and even sent it to Lao Xia to help her analyze it. Xiang Kun created such an image of the wood carving. What kind of psychology is it?

In addition to the picture of the eight-armed eight-eyed wood carving taken earlier, Yang Zhener flipped the picture again to show Tang Baona the other picture she had just found.

That picture is also a monster with eight arms and eight eyes. It was obviously drawn by someone with a background in painting. Although it was not colored, it looked very realistic.

Look at the previous picture of wood carving first, and then look at this drawing. When comparing the two, no matter who you are, you will feel that they are different artistic expressions of the same thing.

"This was painted by a person who witnessed Montamira last night. This picture is the image she saw. How about it? It's basically the same as Chef Xiang's wood carving! And this..." Yang Zhener again I took my phone back, searched it on the browser, and then passed the video I found to Tang Baona: "Look at this, this is a 3D image restored by foreign media based on the descriptions of other witnesses. Is it basically the same? ?"

Tang Baona frowned slightly when she saw it: "It's a bit like...but the wood carving made by Xiang Kun is much more cute...this painting and the 3D picture...should it be just a coincidence?"

Yang Zhener immediately said: "When you had a meeting, I searched on the Internet. Generally, statues with many arms are three-eyed, multi-armed, or three-headed, six-armed, or three-headed and eight-armed. I have been looking for it for a long time, but none Find an image with eight eyes and eight arms at the same time. The only one with similar characteristics...the only spider."

"So you mean that the hallucinations and hallucinations that so many people in Montamilla had produced were created by Xiang Kun? Why did he do that? How did he do it?" Tang Baona asked.

"Does this still need to be said, of course it is to prevent Montamira from rioting against the Chinese!" Yang Zhener said, lowering the volume, next to Tang Baona, holding her arm, and whispered: "Nana, Do you remember the last time I told you that Chef Xiang might have joined a secret organization with superpowers? It should be the task that the secret organization gave him to quell the riots! Hey, Nana, do you remember that we watched it together before? The JOJO? You said that the style of painting can’t be accepted. I only watched the two episodes. I watched it alone. In fact, you can accept the style of painting after a while...anyway, anyway, to the third part, inside The abilities of the strong are all accomplished by a kind of phantom called "substitute". Do you think that the eight-armed and eight-eyed monster illusion is Xiang Chef’s "substitute"? We usually look at the chef doing When cooking, doing wood carvings, and doing many things, he actually called the "stand-in" to work, but we can't see it..."

Tang Baona frowned at the beginning and listened very seriously, because she also felt that the paintings drawn by Montamira and the 3D images made by the media were very similar to the eight-armed eight-eyed wood sculpture that Xiang Kun had previously carved. At least the overall structure is basically the same.But as she listened, she couldn't help but bend over with a smile, and Zhen'er started to overdo it again.

"Walk around, let's eat some supper first, you are starving to death, you eat and YY." Tang Baona walked behind Yang Zhen'er and pushed her forward.

"Where to eat? I want to have soup, hey, but that one is a bit far away, it's too late now, let's eat beef noodles...Wait a minute, what YY! I am seriously analyzing the problem, OK!

After finding a noodle restaurant nearby and ordering something good, Yang Zhener continued to "perfect" her inference.

But seeing Tang Baona squinting her eyes and looking at her expression with a smile, Yang Zhener couldn't help but ask: "Nana, don't you believe what I said? Is it unreasonable?"

"No, if you want to confirm, just ask Xiang Kun directly?" Tang Baona smiled.

"When you were in the meeting, I already sent him a dozen WeChat messages, and he didn't reply to any of them! And I also asked Liu Chuang on WeChat. He is still in Tongshi Town, but he said to the chef. I haven't been to the'Youlong Hotel' for two days! I also asked Lao Xia, but Lao Xia hasn't returned to me yet." Yang Zhener said.

"Can you just call him directly?" Tang Baona said.

"That won't work...then...then stun the snake!"

Tang Baona smiled and said, "Are you afraid of being exposed by Xiang Kun directly to your naive guess?" She said, picking up the phone directly, finding Xiang Kun's name from the call log and dialing it out.

"Hey?!" Yang Zhen'er was taken aback, got up quickly, moved to the side of Tang Baona, leaned his head over, and snooped on her mobile phone.

"...The subscriber you dialed is temporarily unavailable, please call again later. Sorry, Thesubscriberyoudialed..."

Listening to the female voice prompt from Nana's mobile phone, Yang Zhener chuckled and walked back to her seat in time to sit down, and said, "Look, it's there again, the phone can't connect, and the person disappeared. , Every once in a while, there will always be a day or two or even several days! It must be to'execute a task'!"

Tang Baona frowned and thought about it, and she was about to call and ask Lao Xia. She knew that Lao Xia was helping Xiang Kun build a breeding research center. During this time, she was either in Tongshi Town or Chongyun Village. She should be opposite Xiangkun’s whereabouts. It will be clearer.

But before she pressed the dial button, Yang Zhen'er's cell phone rang first.

Yang Zhen'er picked up the phone and took a look, was taken aback, and said to Tang Baona: "It's my mother... strange, why would my mother call me so late?"

"Is it something urgent? Hurry up!" Tang Baona urged.

Yang Zhener didn't say a few words after answering her mother's phone, but her expression became more and more surprised. After chatting with her for a while, she hung up the phone.

Tang Baona cared: "Is someone kidnapped in your family?" Judging from the few words Yang Zhener said during the conversation with his mother, someone in her family was kidnapped, but strangely, judging from the tone of their communication , And it doesn't seem to be very urgent.

Yang Zhen'er moved a chair from opposite Tang Baona, approached her, and whispered, "You know the kidnapped person. It's my stupid cousin,'big guy' Xia Tianhuo. But it's all right now. He has been rescued. He was actually kidnapped in Myanmar three days ago..."

Tang Baona grabbed the key word at once, frowned and asked, "Myanmar?"

"You also thought of it, right? That's right, it's Myanmar, and it's in Montamira!" Yang Zhener suppressed the volume, but couldn't suppress her excitement and excitement.

"We were just talking about Myanmar, so of course we will think about that. Who was your cousin kidnapped and how was he rescued?" Tang Baona asked, this time her curiosity was also affected by Yang. Really aroused.

Yang Zhener said: "My mother just found out, the specific details are still unclear, it seems to have been tied up for three days. But you know what, the first person my silly old brother asked the kidnapper to call was not me Uncle and aunt, but Lao Xia!"

"So...your cousin was rescued because of Lao Xia? But Lao Xia is still in the country, right?"

"I don't know, but if I knew that the person my cousin was kidnapped was Lao Xia for the first time, then Chef Xiang would probably know it for the first time!" Yang Zhen'er became more excited: "Then it happened that Chef Xiang was in Mengta. Mira performed the organization task and got Lao Xia's help call, so she saved the'big guy' by the way!"

Tang Baona gave her a blank look: "You are here again! If Xiang Kun's mobile phone can't get through when Xiang Kun is'on mission' as you said before, then how did Lao Xia contact him? How did you let him know that your cousin was kidnapped? What happened? And it happened to be in Montamilla? Is there such a coincidence?"

Yang Zhen'er was taken aback and nodded: "Yes! Could it be that Chef Xiang was entrusted by Lao Xia and ran to Montamilla to rescue the'big guy', and then the people they organized said,'Oh, Brother Xiang, You should perform the task, huh? You are in Burma, in Montamira? That's right, there is also a task over there, you can solve it by the way, so after saving the'big guy', he was in Montamira Put down the riot!"

"You call and ask Lao Xia to see where Xiang Kun is now, do you know this?" Tang Baona said.

"Reasonable!" Yang Zhener called Lao Xia's cell phone, but after a round of ringing, he was not picked up.

"I guess Lao Xia is already asleep, right?"

"No, during the previous meeting, I sent her WeChat and she didn't reply, so she went to bed so early." Yang Zhener said and dialed again.

After a few rings this time, the phone finally picked up.

...

Xia Libing sat up from the bed, looked at the ringing mobile phone, and then at Xiang Kun, who was laying on the floor not far away, after thinking about it, and pressing the connect button.

"Lao Xia! What are you doing?" Yang Zhener's voice was a little anxious and a little excited.

"Sleeping." Xia Libing replied naturally.

"Hey? Didn't you go to bed very late before? You were in the group at two o'clock in the morning?"

"I didn't sleep well yesterday." Xia Libing said.

"By the way, I just heard my mother say that'Big Man' was kidnapped? And the kidnapper's phone call for money came directly to your cell phone? Did you notify other people?"

"Right." Xia Libing replied.

"Who was kidnapped by'Big Man', and who rescued it?" Yang Zhen'er asked hurriedly again.

"After he returns to China, you can ask him yourself, he knows better." Xia Libing said.

"Where is Chef Xiang? Where is Chef Xiang now?" Yang Zhen'er continued to ask.

Xia Libing replied without any pause: "He went to Nande City the day before yesterday."

"Southern Germany? Isn't it Montamira?" Yang Zhen'er on the other side of the phone seemed very surprised.

"Why Montamira?"

"Didn't you ask Xiang Kun to go to Montamira to rescue the'big guy'?" Yang Zhener asked.

"I didn't ask him, why do you think so?" Xia Libing asked rhetorically.

"Have you seen the discussion on the Internet? In Montamilla last night, many people saw a phantom with eight arms and eight eyes. Witnesses drew a picture, which is very similar to the original wood carving before Xiang Kun! So I suspect, What happened to Montamira was done by Chef Xiang to complete the mission of the secret organization to which he belongs! Remember what I told you last time? Maybe Xiang Kun had some adventures last year and joined a secret organization..."

Yang Zhen'er became more excited as she spoke, and re-described her earlier guesses and the words she had just said to Tang Baona with Xia Libing, describing and perfecting her conjecture.

At the end, Yang Zhen'er said: "Lao Xia, have you found something wrong with Xiang Kun during this period of time in Chongyun Village? Have you found that he often disappears, doesn't answer WeChat, and can't get through with his mobile phone?"

"I didn't find anything wrong." Xia Libing said, "His phone seems to be broken. When he comes back or buys a new phone, you can ask him."

After finishing the call with Yang Zhen'er, Xia Libing sat on the bed, watching the light from the living room entering the door, watching sleeping on the floor, no movement, not noisy by the sound of her phone ringing just now. Xiang Kun, who arrived, was thinking about something.

She has only slept for more than two hours so far. Naturally, her sleep is not enough, but after being awakened by her cousin's phone call, she did not continue to sleep immediately.

She didn’t wonder why she fell asleep on the sofa before, but now she came to the bed-obviously it doesn’t matter if Xiang Kun sleeps or not, so Xiang Kun puts her on the bed, which is the most adequate resource for the bed. use.

After getting up and going to the living room to pour a cup of hot water and drink, Xia Libing returned to the room and recorded some data on Xiang Kun who was lying on the ground, just as she did when Xiang Kun had been drinking blood and sleeping during several times before.

Then she went back to the living room and sat on the sofa, looking at the laptop on the coffee table, thinking about something.

Yang Zhen'er's speculation that part of it was close to the truth did not shock or surprise Xia Libing.

As the blood-drinking period passed one after another, the mutation deepened. Although Xiang Kun's appearance did not change much from when he first met, he actually has more and more abilities that allow him to recognize the world in ways and Great changes have taken place in thinking efficiency and thinking angle.

With the continuous expansion and derivation of the "hyperlinked system", this kind of change is becoming more and more subtle and at a very rapid rate.

He didn’t have many contacts before. After the mutation, he deliberately kept a certain distance from most people. Only people with strong insights can feel a little bit when he has a small amount of contact. What makes him different.

But if it is someone who has a good relationship with him and has more communication and contact, then even if it is slow, he will still find his peculiarities somewhat, which is almost inevitable.

Even if they are not aware of it subjectively because of habit, they will definitely be aware of it instinctively and subconsciously. In essence, Xiang Kun's way of existence in this world is already vastly different from ordinary humans.

Xia Libing knew that not only her cousin Zhen'er, but also Nana, Zicheng, Chang Bin, You Meng, and even Liu Caifu, Chu Xiuwen, and others who had been in contact with Chongyun Village recently, were somewhat aware of Xiang Kun's peculiarities.

It's just that the information they know is very limited, and they are all able to explain the past with some reasons. They are self-convincing. For people who are familiar and trust, the human psychology itself will automatically repair and adapt the cognition.

These circumstances must have been considered by Xiang Kun.

What Xia Libing is thinking now is another question.

She had just come to the living room to pour water and found her laptop with the screen facing the door.

If Xiang Kun used the computer when she was asleep before, the screen should also be facing the sofa. There is only one row of sofas in her living room, and there is no place to sit on the other side.

And according to Xiang Kun’s habit of using laptops that she has always observed, after a stage of use, such as when leaving home or going to dinner, he will actively close the laptop regardless of whether it is turned on or off. .

Since he was going to fall asleep after drinking blood, after using the computer, he would close the computer according to his habit. He wouldn't leave it like that, and he was facing the direction of the door strangely.

The computer screen is off, but it is still turned on, and the power cord is connected.She clearly remembered that before Xiang Kun came back, her laptop was not connected to the power cord.

If other people saw this scene, most people would not think much about it.

But Xia Libing thought of a lot of things at once, such as the abruptly lit camera indicator at Xiangkun's home when she helped Xiangkun drink blood for the first time to watch during his sleep.

Like now, this laptop looks like the screen is facing the door, which is meaningless, but in fact the camera above the screen is also facing the door, although it seems that the camera indicator is not lit.

During this time, in Chongyun Village, she spent most of her time with Xiang Kun, doing experiments on "Zero One," "Zero Two," and some other creatures earlier, even if she was sleeping When Xiang Kun doesn't need to sleep, he basically knows what Xiang Kun is doing.

She was quite sure that Xiang Kun did not have the time to sit in front of the computer to write code, design, and make changes as needed, but Tang Baona, Yang Zhener, Zhang Qian and others can still get changes and iterations according to various opinions. After the new game version, and from their discussion, it can be seen that the evolution of the game is very large, not the kind of small feature repair.

Xia Libing doesn’t know much about programming and game production, but he still has some basic knowledge about it, and he has also played the game developed by Xiang Kun. Judging by the richness of the game's features, the degree of version iteration and speed, Xiang Kun did not have the time to realize it.

So, maybe he has another team working for him?

But if that was the case, he didn't need to hide from Zhang Qian, Nana, and others, let alone hide from himself.

Unless, that team is very special, knows the secret of Xiang Kun mutation, and has been providing technical support, and even helping him monitor his own state, can't it be exposed?

But this guess was immediately denied by her.

First of all, with Xiang Kun's current economic situation, it is absolutely impossible to support a development or technical support team.

Secondly, she recalled Xiang Kun's language content, expression state, and performance before and after explaining the mutation situation to her. She still thinks that it was the first time that Xiang Kun revealed the secret to others. She was the first to know the secret of Xiang Kun mutation. People, so far, should still be the only one.

Otherwise, there are many things, and Xiang Kun cannot make such a choice.

So...how does Xiang Kun do certain things?

Xia Libing narrowed his eyes and looked at his laptop.
