What It’s Like Being a Vampire

When Mr. Liang returned to the underground of Shou Wang Building, he saw John sitting on the ground leaning against the wall, staring blankly at the wooden rabbit sculpture placed on the platform in the middle of the hall, not knowing what he was thinking.

Mr. Liang emerged from his invisibility, walked to the platform, picked up the rabbit wooden sculpture that looked unchanged, and asked, What's wrong?

John was startled, as if he had just realized that Mr. Liang had come back, pointed at the wooden carving in his hand, and said with some shock: It... there is something wrong with it! There is an evil spirit hidden in it!

With that said, John hurriedly reported to Mr. Liang what happened last night and his own experience, including how the light flashed, how he saw the piece of rabbit meat, how the rabbit meat disappeared without warning, etc. .

Mr. Liang was not surprised, but nodded in appreciation: Very good, you have begun to feel its special features.

He knew that blood-eating creatures did not need to sleep under normal circumstances. It was not the time for John to eat and drink blood. Although the old vampires like Red Rose had a secret method of sleeping to extend the stage limit, they could not do it anytime and anywhere. You can use it if you want, and John can't waste time sleeping within the 40-day period, so he didn't see rabbit meat in his dream, but was affected by hallucinations in reality.

Fang Pingfang had encountered this situation before in the research base laboratories in Baoqing City and Antie Town.

John can be said to have proved that the hallucinatory effect brought by this wooden sculpture is not only effective on ordinary humans, but also blood-eating creatures will also be affected.

Tell me carefully, how did you trigger that rabbit meat hallucination? Mr. Liang asked.

How did it trigger... John was stunned for a moment, thought about it for a moment, and said uncertainly: I bit its ear.

Oh? Mr. Liang picked up the rabbit wooden sculpture, grinned widely, and took one ear of the rabbit wooden sculpture into his mouth - in fact, he could easily swallow the whole wooden sculpture.

After a few symbolic bites on the ear, Mr. Liang took out the wooden sculpture and asked, Is that so?

John was already dumbfounded. He had never seen Mr. Liang with his mouth completely open before. The visual impact was really big, so when Mr. Liang repeated it again, he realized it and nodded quickly: That's it. , that’s it… bite.”

However, it was obvious that Mr. Liang’s operation this time did not trigger similar feedback, so he threw the rabbit wood carving to John: “Bite it.”

John glanced at the rabbit ears that had been bitten by Mr. Liang.

After hesitating for a moment, he chose the other ear and bit it. This time, no strange phenomena appeared either.

Mr. Liang didn't feel surprised or disappointed. After all, when Fang Pingfang encountered the hallucination of rabbit meat before, she didn't bite the rabbit's ear. The so-called hallucination after biting the rabbit's ear should be just a coincidence.

What do you think about the connection between wood carvings and hallucinations, and its triggering mechanism? Mr. Liang asked.

John repeated his previous words again: There is an evil spirit here! It... it may be a rabbit, or something else. In short, it has the power to directly point to the soul and affect the spirit.

As he spoke, he seemed to feel that using rabbit to describe the so-called evil spirit did not sound very threatening or scary. John quickly gave some examples, such as Annabelle and Chucky, and offered to send the wood carving to him. Go to Europe and try some legendary methods for purification programs.

However, Mr. Liang has not watched these film and television works, which only adds to his confusion. In fact, his previous description had already made Mr. Liang fully understand what happened and that he was severely frightened.

Do you think there is any connection between the rabbit meat illusion you saw and Montamilla's eight-armed giant illusion? Mr. Liang suddenly asked.

John was startled. Mr. Liang didn't seem to accept his evil spirit theory analysis, but directly gave another idea.

And thinking along this line of thinking, combined with his questioning of some vision witnesses in Montamira, the vision he experienced last night, and some imagination, he found that he had unfolded a story that was even weirder and deeper. picture scroll.

Seeing John lowering his head and thinking, Mr. Liang did not urge him. He walked to the only seat in the hall and sat down. He re-entered the invisible state and called up the computer screen to view the various bases organized by Tai'a and the briefings sent by the teams outside.

These briefings are usually phased results or routine reports, and there will be no too urgent events. Otherwise, the research bases and teams will contact him directly through the portable communicator.

Before viewing the briefing, Mr. Liang first asked Tai'a to conduct a security self-check on itself to confirm that there were no problems with either hardware or software, access control security or network security.

Judging from John's and Fang Pingfang's earlier descriptions, when the rabbit wood sculpture affects people and creates illusions, it will have a certain degree of impact and interference on surrounding electronic equipment and power facilities. Its generation should be related to the magnetic field. , this is similar to the impact of the surrounding environment when the eight-armed giant vision appeared in Montamila on the night of March 8th. This is one of the reasons why he connected the rabbit wood carving with the eight-armed giant vision.

However, Mr. Liang has no worries about the security facilities and system safety of this place. With Tai'a watching, the worst case scenario is just to damage some hardware. The important data is in their dedicated line network. Multiple local servers for storage. The most core and confidential data are sealed and are not connected to the Internet or powered on. Even if it is an EMP, it will be difficult to cause substantial damage unless it breaks through to the inside of the sealed space.

Since Tai'a has judged that there is no problem, then there is no problem. Mr. Liang has absolute confidence in the AI ​​system that he has led and watched the development and iterations all the way to the present.

The so-called Tai'a is one of the ten legendary swords in my country. It is a majestic sword, invisible and traceless. The sword energy exists in heaven and earth. When the time, place, people and the three realms are unified, Tai'a will be Cheng - Ou Yezi and Ganjiang said that they were just porters of sword energy.

Mr. Liang’s choice of this name also shows his confidence and emphasis on this AI system.

It seemed that after a mental struggle, John slowly placed the rabbit wood carving on the corner of Mr. Liang's operating platform, and then said: There should be five days left before the 40-day deadline. I want to choose another task.

Mr. Liang was really surprised this time. His eyeballs without eyelids looked at John, and his body reappeared on the seat again: Are you going to have a life-and-death fight with that snake?

John nodded hard: Yes.

Mr. Liang looked at the rabbit wooden sculpture placed on the platform and said, If you feel that time is tight, I can extend the time limit for you.

No, I don't think I can complete this task. John hesitated for a moment, and then asked more: If possible, can you open the 'screen' again and let me take a closer look.

As John who actually had a brief confrontation with the giant snake, or was simply chased, he obviously knew the combat power of the giant snake. Originally, Mr. Liang put the two tasks side by side for him to choose. This mathematics teacher's homework assignment method of copying ten questions ten thousand times or solving them uses a task that is deemed impossible for him to choose as an anchor, giving him a sense of pressure and a promising contrast.

But now it seems that the impact of the vision last night on John was greater than imagined?

Mr. Liang couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. He just saw an illusion of a piece of rabbit meat, so what?

Dr. Fang, an ordinary person, has also seen the illusion of rabbit meat, and he was not frightened to death. He kept thinking about how to solve the mystery. How can you, a so-called European bloodline, be so timid?

Could it be that you have watched too many horror movies?

At most, the rabbit wood carvings only allow people to see some weird and inexplicable illusions, without causing any signs of actual damage. Fighting to the death with the giant snake is a real escape from death!

However, Mr. Liang didn't ask too much. He simply snapped his fingers and caused the image of the mutated giant snake locked in the room behind to be projected on a wall for John to observe.

John thanked him, walked over quickly, and carefully observed the situation of the giant snake. The snake's blinded eyes had completely recovered by now, and looked no different from when they first encountered it more than a month ago.

John was naturally struggling to make the current choice. In order to figure out what was so special about the rabbit wood carving, he had already spent most of the 40-day period. The sunk cost was too high.

Normally, there would be no reason for him to give up at this time.

But last night's encounter and Mr. Gangliang's words made him suddenly realize that this rabbit wood carving was a real big pit!

If this rabbit wood carving is related to Montamira's eight-armed giant vision, it would be even more terrifying. God knows what kind of existence is behind it.

He had previously offered to help Mr. Liang go to Montamira to investigate the eight-armed giant illusion, and also proposed some so-called ideas, but those were just words he had to shout out in order to survive, in order to be able to leave. Here, going to Burma and Montamila, contacting more people, can better demonstrate his ability and value, and also have more opportunities to escape, and the choice is much larger.

But now it seems that Mr. Liang wants him to stay here, directly through this wood carving, and use his own soul and spirit to touch the possible secrets behind it. He is more like a pathfinder and a cannon fodder. Or used as sacrifices for sacrifices and summonses.

He should have realized a long time ago that something that Mr. Liang and the organization behind him attach great importance to but are unable to do anything about is definitely not simple, and it will not be a problem that he can easily solve.

Instead of facing the unknown existence that is bound to be terrifying and terrifying, it is better to fight against the known but limited power.

John tightened his grip on the small white porcelain knife in his pocket, and while staring at the giant snake on the wall screen, he recalled the last brief confrontation and the various reactions of the giant snake at that time.

Maybe, it's not hopeless.

…

Although Alice's operation to obtain data failed, Xiang Kun was not too worried.

The data on the storage device is obtained through the hyper-connected things matrix, and the mode of air-to-air transmission, compilation and transcoding has been established and successfully passed.

Next, it is only a matter of time to obtain the secret data on the storage device under the Shou Wang Building.

As for the commotion caused last night, Xiang Kun was not too worried. Anyway, he had let Dr. Fang see this kind of rabbit meat illusion in the laboratory. He himself was beaten into the rabbit wood carving by Shenxing Technology It doesn’t matter if they experience the labels and features on it again.

On the contrary, last night, Alice was a little angry and exerted too much force, helping him verify two questions:

First, if there are enough super-connected objects to stimulate and the surrounding environment is suitable, Alice herself can trigger the love objects within the range to have an impact, allowing people to see the corresponding illusion;

Second, mutated creatures can also be affected by the hallucinations of love objects, but currently, only mutated creatures that have mutated from humans will be affected. The other three mutated creatures of other forms under the Shouwang Building are affected. Creature only noticed the abnormality, but did not see the relevant illusion.

It seems that the emotional focus emotional projection-related abilities, which were born out of emotional assimilation, still require the affected target to have similar channel emotional perception capabilities.

However, Xiang Kun will not think about these things for the time being, because today is April 22nd, and tomorrow is Lao Xia’s birthday. Tonight, everyone will celebrate Lao Xia’s birthday together - this was originally the time when he invited Professor Li Yang and Little Apple to come to Chongqing. Yun Cun’s excuse.

So Xiang Kun had to focus on his job as a chef and prepare a sumptuous meal for the evening.

While Xiang Kun was preparing the ingredients, Xia Libing, Tang Baona, Yang Zhen'er, Little Apple and others were video chatting with the little fat girl in Star City, listening to her singing a happy birthday song to Lao Xia.

Black-skinned Persians are down on pictures and oil~, black-skinned Persians are down on pictures and oil~, black-skinned Persians are down on pictures and oil~~~~, black-skinned Persians are down on pictures and excellent~~~~

The little chubby girl in the video is singing the English version of Happy Birthday very seriously. This was taught to her by Sister Laoxian. Although she has sung it before, it was always a chorus. Just hum along with the soy sauce. This time she has to do it by herself. Singing alone, there seemed to be many people watching across from me, which made me nervous. She was not very proficient in pronunciation and added new words, so she felt a little nervous when singing. However, she still tried hard not to go too off-key. Singing through four cycles with strength.

At first, Tang Baona, Little Apple, and Xia Tianhuo, Zicheng, and Chu Xiaoting who came to watch the excitement were all a little confused. Although the cute voice of the little fat girl was a bit vague, happy birthday to you they were. I heard it, but what does Oh De Sang Mo mean?

Tang Baona was the first to react. She turned back to Yang Zhener and said, Old summer?

Yang Zhener, who had previously volunteered to teach the little fat girl to sing Happy Birthday, couldn't hold back her smile and nodded: Yes, yes, what a great English nickname!

I'll go! Old Sunmer is outrageous! Yang Laosan is so bad, he actually deceived children! Xia Tianhuo couldn't help but complain about his cousin.

But Zicheng, Little Apple, Chu Xiaoting and others who knew the truth couldn't help laughing.

Seeing the reaction of everyone here, Liu Shiling on the other side of the video asked nervously: Sister Roasted Chicken Wings, did I sing it wrong?

Xia Libing, who still had a calm expression, said, No, you sang very well.

Tang Baona was also dumbfounded: Little Bell Sings very well. By the way, when your old sister taught you, did you tell you what this song means?

Liu Shiling nodded: We often sing the happy birthday song in kindergarten. 'Black Pi Persian Drop Tu Oil' means wishing you a happy birthday. Sister Laoxian said 'Oh De Sang Mo' which means dear sister.

After finishing speaking, Liu Shiling asked Lao Xia again: Happy birthday sister roast chicken wings! Did you receive the birthday gift I sent you?

Thank you, little bell. I haven't received it yet. When did you send it? Xia Libing shook his head.

Mom said it was sent the day before yesterday. It was sent by express delivery in the wind. It was very fast. Liu Shiling said, her little eyebrows slightly wrinkled: Did they lose my gift?

S.F. Express? It's from Star City. It should arrive today. I'll ask Chef Xiang! Yang Zhen'er said and ran out of the living room and rushed into the kitchen to look for Xiang Kun.
