What It’s Like Being a Vampire

The man was a handsome dance teacher and contacted the two girls online.

One girl wanted to find a place to commit suicide, while the other was tricked into thinking they were going on a long hike together.

The man asked the two girls to throw away their mobile phones on the grounds of breaking away from the constraints of society and completely liberating themselves, and keep it secret from their family members and relatives around them. They could find any excuse to leave and then meet him.

There is no way to know what happened next from the mobile phone. It is obvious that after the meeting, the three people stopped communicating through the mobile phone.

Even the two girls, maybe as the man requested, didn't bring their mobile phones at all.

Zhao Feng speculated based on the known situation that the three people probably hiked a long way, setting up tents to rest along the way, using cash to buy water from locals, and finally reached the depths of Zihuan Mountain.

Then in that very remote and hidden cave, the man drugged the two girls and knocked them out, killed them, and then killed himself. Judging from the sleeping pills in the man's bag and the preliminary situation at the scene in the cave, That seems to be it.

Of course, the specific cause of death of the three people and the detailed circumstances will not be determined until the forensic report is released.

Zhao Feng sat in front of the computer, looking at the various information copied from the phone by his colleagues in the technical department, wondering why the multi-armed monster guided him to discover those corpses in his dream?

The male deceased was indeed very handsome, with a good figure, and clear chest and abdominal muscles. There were many topless selfies in his mobile phone album. He often posted these photos to various social platforms and through chat records. To all kinds of female netizens.

What is certain is that this is a playboy who has dated many women at the same time. He is also very popular and knows how to please and deceive women.

The two girls easily developed a liking and trust for him, and followed his request to give reasons for leaving to their relatives and friends, so they had disappeared for almost a year, and no one reported them missing to the police station.

But philandering and promiscuity are moral issues. They are not illegal or criminal. They are fundamentally different from what happened in Zihuan Mountain. This change is too sudden.

Why would such a person suddenly do such a thing?

He doesn't want to live anymore?

Or is there another hidden secret, another murderer?

Three lives were at stake, so the leaders of the bureau naturally took it very seriously, and they had to sort out everything that needed to be sorted out overnight.

Colleagues also jokingly complained about Zhao Feng, saying that he had a Conan constitution and could discover such a major case even on weekends.

Zhao Feng woke up very early in the morning and ran in the mountains all day today. Now his calf muscles are a little strained and he can't walk smoothly. He has been hungry and cold for most of the night. Logically speaking, it should have been long ago. Exhausted to death.

But he refused Lao Xu's suggestion to go back to his dormitory to rest first, and still worked with his colleagues to sort out evidence and various information and fill out various reports.

Seeing him working so hard, his colleagues couldn't stop joking and blaming him.

Only Xu Zhao vaguely felt that Xiao Zhao was not embarrassed to go back to rest first because he discovered the case and asked everyone to work overtime in the middle of the night, but he really wanted to stay and work.

He still felt that there were some other secrets about the three corpses that Zhao Feng found deep in Zihuan Mountain today. There should be some channels that he didn't know and it was difficult for Zhao Feng to tell him.

Lao Xu wondered in his mind, what kind of channel would it be?

…

Sunday, February 16th.

Wang De'an had a rare day off today. He wore casual clothes and went out for a walk alone.

This is a green belt next to an artificial lake.

Because it is still under construction, it is relatively remote and there are no street lights, so various accidents or cases often occur.

Just like a few years ago, a drunkard accidentally fell into the lake here and was discovered and rescued by the patrolling police nearby.

The next night, a young couple was making out on the edge of the grass here. They were provoked by two drunken hooligans. As a result, the young couple beat the two hooligans to serious injuries.

On the night of the first day of the first lunar month, three more gangsters drove a girl who had been drugged by them to the lake to molest her. Fortunately, they were stopped by a blind girl.

That night, after the blind woman called the police, it was Wang De'an and his partner, Officer Han, who responded.

The case itself was not complicated. It was clear that the three suspects confessed to their crimes, so the investigation was quickly completed and the suspects were handed over to the prosecutor.

But the strange behavior of the three suspects that night, their description of the situation at that time, and the situation recorded by the car's driving recorder made Wang De'an have some doubts, and he related these doubts to his old classmates from the police academy and Zhao Feng, who now works in Citong City, Haixi Province, discussed together.

Originally, he didn't take this matter too seriously, and just treated it as a casual conversation with his old classmates.

Unexpectedly, within a few days, a similar thing happened in Zhao Feng's city, and a suspect also had the hallucination of a horrible monster with many arms.

Only this time, the suspects took the initiative to surrender.

Then Wang De'an and Zhao Feng began to compare and summarize the commonalities between the two cases. Zhao Feng reported it to his boss, Lao Xu, who also took it seriously and suspected that the two groups of people had used the same new type of illegal drugs. ”, resulting in similar hallucinations.

However, the results of the investigation showed that the two groups of people had no connection at all.

None of the three suspects in Citong City had a history of taking illegal drugs. Although two of Wang De'an's three suspects had a history of using illegal drugs, judging from the results of the blood test and urine test, they did not do so on the night of the crime. None of them used any illegal drugs or were drugged.

The investigation has reached a deadlock, and Lao Xu has clearly asked Zhao Feng not to waste any more time on this matter.

However, Wang De'an and Zhao Feng still talked about this matter in private from time to time, and followed up on the follow-up situation of a total of six suspects who had that hallucination.

Yesterday morning, when Wang De'an was still sleeping, his mobile phone received a WeChat message from Zhao Feng, saying that he had a very strange dream, and dreamed of riding that multi-armed monster and flying into the mountains.

When Wang De'an woke up and saw the news, he didn't think there was anything strange about it. He thought about it day by day and dreamed about it at night. The two of them had been discussing this topic a lot recently. There was nothing strange about the dream. They just responded casually and asked what they dreamed about.

But until today, Zhao Feng has not replied.

Wang De'an did not ask further questions. He estimated that his old classmate might have an urgent mission suddenly and had no time to look at his mobile phone. This situation was normal for their profession.

He had a day off today. He originally made an appointment to watch a movie with the girl he had a crush on, but the girl had to let him go. He sat alone in the movie theater for a while and couldn't watch it anymore, so he left early and arrived before he knew it. Come this way.

Looking back on what happened that night, especially when he later checked the driving recorder video at the police station, he was actually very interested in the guide bird of the blind girl Li Jun.

The behavior of that bird was really... very special and weird.

He also thought about looking for the blind girl again and seeing her guide bird, but thinking of the warning from his partner Lao Han and the blind girl's uncle Li Sheng, a senior in the city bureau, he could only give up. Got this idea.

Although Li Shengsi looks gentle and gentle like a teacher, he actually has a very explosive temper and is well-known in the city bureau. It would be fine if there was a valid reason. He came to the door on the pretext of investigating the monster hallucinations seen by the three suspects in the closed case. If Li Sheng found out, he would probably be beaten all over his head.

While thinking this, he suddenly noticed a yellow canary on a tree not far away, which seemed to be somewhat similar to the guide bird of the blind girl Li Jun.

So he subconsciously walked towards the bird, walked under the tree, and looked up at the bird.

Interestingly, the bird also leaned slightly and seemed to be looking at him.

Hi, how are you? Wang De'an smiled and raised his hand to say hello.

But then he shook his head and laughed. Fortunately, this place was remote enough that no one saw him saying hello to a bird, otherwise he would probably think there was something wrong with his brain.

Naturally, he didn't really think that this bird could understand human speech, and he didn't even really think that this canary was the blind girl's guide bird. He just happened to think of that bird and made a subconscious move. .

Suddenly there was a clear chirping sound above his head. Wang De'an was startled. He looked up at the canary, only to see it calling at him several times and spreading its wings, as if in response to his greeting just now. of.

While he was stunned, his cell phone suddenly rang, startling him again.

Wang De'an picked up the phone and saw that the name of his old classmate Zhao Feng was displayed, and he quickly picked up the phone.

Lao Liu, why did you just think of calling me now?

I went to the mountains yesterday, and most of the time there was no signal on my mobile phone...

I guessed that you were on a temporary mission. Wang De'an said with a smile.

But Zhao Feng on the other side said: It's not a mission. Didn't I tell you on WeChat that I had a dream about riding that monster into the mountains? I recognized it in the dream. That was us. Zihuan Mountain in the city, and I remembered the flight route and location clearly in my dream, so after I woke up, I took a trip...

Zhao Feng described his dream and the process of exploring the mountain in the mountains yesterday, and then said: I really found the cave.

Wang De'an frowned when he heard this: The caves in the mountains...are all about the same.

No, I'm pretty sure that cave is the one that the monster in the dream took me to.

Wang De'an asked casually: Is there really someone inside?

There are people, but they are dead. Zhao Feng did not sell out and said directly: There are three highly decomposed corpses inside.

Ah? Wang De'an opened his mouth wide. After being stunned for a few seconds, he subconsciously said: It's a coincidence... right?

I don't think it's a coincidence. I've never been to that place, and it's very difficult to find. It took me almost a whole day to find it. Zhao Feng said, and gave an overview of the investigation.

Although this case has not been officially reported, judging from various evidence and the preliminary report given by the forensic doctor this morning, the internal conclusion has been basically determined. It is consistent with their preliminary judgment last night, that is, the deceased male killed two women. The deceased committed suicide. In addition, Wang De'an himself was in the same system, so it was not illegal for Zhao Feng to disclose this information.

After ending the call with Zhao Feng, Wang De'an subconsciously checked the calendar on his phone to confirm whether today was April Fool's Day, April 1st.

The information he just heard gave him a strong sense of unreality. During the whole process, he always had the thought that Zhao Feng is joking with me. But judging from the actual information and his understanding of Zhao Feng, he knew that this was not a joke or a lie to him. That thing really happened.

After standing there for a long time, Wang De'an suddenly remembered something and looked up, only to see that the canary that greeted him just now had disappeared.

A room on the outside of a residential building in a community a few kilometers away from the artificial lake.

After Little Apple felt Jin Shining fly into the room, he closed the window, then stretched out a finger, tapped Jin Shining's head twice accurately, and said angrily:

I just recognized that it was Officer Wang who came to help us catch the bad guy before, and I didn't let you say hello. Why did you make your own decision?

Jin Shining Shining shrank his head, then puffed up his chest and chirped twice.

Little Apple said helplessly: He didn't recognize you when he greeted you, and I don't know if you can understand. He was probably just joking.

Jin Shining Shining: Tweet.

Little Apple snorted and nodded: That's right. Officer Wang probably doesn't understand what you are calling. But don't bark randomly next time, or you will be arrested and imprisoned.

Jin Shining Shining chirped several times again.

Little Apple smiled and said: Okay, I'll give you some delicious food! It's all ready... Hey, you are really eating more and more now. Your appetite has increased too fast. It's better than you just did. When you came here, it had tripled or quadrupled, right? I can hardly support you anymore... As he said that, he skillfully took out the birdseed that had been prepared earlier from the cabinet next to him and poured it accurately. In the special trough of Sparkling Gold.

The whole movement was very accurate and smooth. If anyone else saw it, they would not believe that Little Apple was blind and could not see anything.

During this time, Little Apple often lets Jin Shining fly around, and she uses her special connection with Jin Shining to perceive the sound information collected by Jin Shining.

If it weren't for the limited physical strength of Jin Shining Shining, Little Apple would also be worried about its safety, fearing that it would encounter some natural enemies or be caught or injured, and would not want to let it roam outside 24 hours a day, even It is to leave this city and fly all over the country.

Growing up, her father and uncle often took her out to play, to the mountains, to the seaside, to experience various sounds of nature.

But she also knew that her father and uncle were very busy at work, and taking her out would focus on her. For the two of them, it was not relaxing or playing at all, they were just simply accompanying her and making her happy. .

So basically after she turned ten, she rarely asked her father and uncle to take her somewhere to play. She always waited for them to take her out when they had free time.

After graduating from junior high school, I basically stayed at home. Occasionally I went out, mostly in the company of my father or Aunt Yang, and sat in a small park near my home for a while, trying not to cause trouble to my family.

But things are different now. After establishing a special information-sensory connection with Jin Shining, she feels that she is no different from ordinary people when she goes out with Jin Shining. She can take care of herself.

Of course, because her uncle later told her father about sneaking out on the first night of junior high school, she could not go out alone for the time being. But Golden Shining acted as her ears from outside, but it was also a strange experience.

In the past half month, she had basically explored half of the city they were in through Golden Shining. And most people have no defense against a canary, and she accidentally heard a lot of interesting things.

For example, today, after recognizing Officer Wang through his voice, who went out to help her catch the bad guys on the night of the first day of the new year, Golden Shining did not fly away immediately. Little Apple used its senses to hear Officer Wang's call from the side. The whole process.

She noticed several keywords:

Many-armed monster, Dreaming, Corpse, Zihuan Mountain.

From the chat between Officer Wang and the old six he called, Little Apple had a vague guess that the multi-armed monster they were talking about would pass through Xiang's uncle's wood carving and send it to her. Is the eight-armed eight-eyed monster summoned by the object perception system the same one?

Officer Wang has been searching for that monster? And it also appeared in Erythron City?

Isn't Uncle Xiang's hometown Citong City?

Just when she was thinking about telling Uncle Xiang this intelligence, her phone rang. She picked it up and skillfully passed the accessibility function, opened the WeChat group, clicked on the newly received voice, and heard Yang Sister Zhener’s clear voice:

Little Apple! Little Apple! Call Little Apple!

Little Apple replied: I'm here, Sister Zhen'er, are you going to start testing the game?

In recent times, in addition to touring the city through Golden Shining and learning about various sounds and information, the most important thing she has done is to test with Sister Nana and Sister Zhen'er. Uncle Xiang Kun’s voice game.

I have to say, that game is really fun and very suitable for her to play.

And she can also use her sensitivity to sound to find ways to improve the sound experience, add more sound elements, and adjust the weight and weight ratio of various sounds to better improve the overall game experience. .

Many of the modification suggestions she put forward have been directly implemented in the updated version by Uncle Xiang, which gives her a sense of accomplishment.

Yang Zhener sent another voice message: It's not about playing games. Do you have QQ? Go to QQ! There is a little sister who wants to introduce you to her! Her kindergarten has started, and the teacher asked them to learn a children's song, you Nana Sister is not here, so I can only look for you.
