What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Chapter 59: Scent of a Woman

Xiang Kun went back to the kitchen, picked up the camera he had placed in the kitchen and was connected to the computer for 24-hour video recording, and checked it.

Previously, this camera was bought back to take pictures of the four rabbits that he injected with his own blood and saliva, but it seems that there should be no change. Originally, the two cages where the four rabbits were kept were placed on the seasoning table in the kitchen. When Xiang Kun was cooking, he lifted the two cages to the side, but the camera was not turned off.

Looking at the angle, it happened to be able to take a good picture of most of the activity area where Xiang Kun was cooking at the table.

So he went back to the room, picked up the laptop, turned on the monitoring screen, saved the video recorded a few hours ago, and opened the video file to view.

Although the clarity of the video was mediocre and the shooting angle was awkward, after all, it wasn't originally intended to shoot Xiang Kun, but he could basically see the process of his cooking.

It can be seen from the video that after Xiang Kun played music and started cutting rabbit meat, at first he swayed his body to the rhythm of the music, shook his shoulders, and tapped his feet.

But as time went on, after entering the second song, he had already begun to let himself go, almost like on the dance floor, the pot in his left hand and the shovel in his right all joined the rhythm, shaking the pot The ingredients and rabbit meat in it were spilled all over the ground without feeling it, and even got excited, and there was a MJ's earth walk-of course, the degree of completion was quite touching.

This scene looks even weirder in the video without recording sound.

Xiang Kun couldn't help but want to cover his face.

If this state occasionally appeared before the mutation, Xiang Kun wouldn't find it strange. After all, he didn't lose consciousness and didn't know what he was doing.

Occasionally immersed in a certain mood and state, too focused, ignoring the surrounding environment and other external information, it is normal.

Like when I was addicted to online games when I was a child, or addicted to comics, TV dramas, and novels, I may have this state.

But after the mutation, the appearance of this state made him very vigilant.

Because he knows very well that the body and the mind have a profound influence on each other, and they are one rather than divided. Changes in the body will affect the mind, and changes in the mind will also be fed back to the body.

In the past month, Xiang Kun's body has undergone earth-shaking and drastic mutations, which even made him doubt whether he is still a human being.

This degree of variation will definitely have an impact on psychology.

It's just that compared to the body, the psychological changes are hard to detect.

Xiang Kun listened to the music he had just heard again, and he was sure that it wasn't the music, or the cooking itself, that made him have the kind of high concentration and focus on letting himself go, even if someone rings the doorbell. The state of not hearing.

The reason why he entered that state should be because he wanted to enter that state, so his body would cooperate with him.

Slowly recall the psychological changes from the discovery of the mutation until now.

Whether it was the worry and worry about illness and death at the beginning, or the curiosity and excitement after the body mutation, or the various mood swings after discovering the giant owl, he has always dealt with it by suppressing it. , Control, try to use a rational and sober way to consider things and deal with problems.

All of this was borne by himself, and he dared not tell anyone.

Although he didn't like to socialize or entertain in the past, he had to go to work after all, and he had to deal with and communicate with people every day.

And after the mutation, he closed himself more deliberately than before, was very vigilant against all impulses, and actively suppressed them.

Maybe it's because you've been too depressed during this period, so you need to explode physically and mentally?

He recalled now that in the past month or so,

The moment with the deepest impression, the happiest feeling, and the best state was actually the two fights with the giant owl.

The momentary feeling of life and death not only didn't scare him, but excited him instead.

This kind of excitement has always made him a little worried, and he deliberately suppressed it, worrying that he would lose his mind and become a violent and bloodthirsty monster.

It seems that light suppression is not enough, so I should find some way to release my emotions. Otherwise, maybe I will unknowingly become abnormal...

For the next two days, Xiang Kun would go to a coffee shop or KFC to sit in a business place during the day, and practice sensory information judgment in the way he had re-planned.

At the beginning, I still couldn't control my curiosity, and observed each target too deeply. After I already knew the occupation, I still continued to understand it through other sensory information.

But through deliberate control, once the judgment result is obtained, the target will be shifted, and if the result cannot be obtained within 10 seconds, the same will be given up and the target will be shifted. After training on the speed of judgment, the situation has greatly improved.

Now when he walks into a store, he can quickly make a professional judgment on the customers within 10 while observing the environment in the store within two minutes.

Although after trying it, the success rate of being able to judge is only about 50%—that is, only 5 people out of 10 people can quickly distinguish their occupations, but it is already a big improvement.

After the speed of judgment continues to increase and the success rate increases, he can start training to collect and judge information on multiple targets at the same time, training the brain's multi-threaded ability to process information.

At night, Xiang Kun went to the remote hill where the dead mouse was found before.

He temporarily found a way to vent:

He took off his shoes, bare feet, and shirtless, and ran straight from the foot of the mountain to the mountain with all his strength.

There is no road in the direction he is rushing. To go up the mountain, he needs to use his hands and feet to climb on the ground in night vision mode.

Although he is strong now, has excellent physical fitness, and his physical fitness is even more outstanding, but after climbing all the way to the top of the mountain with all his strength, he will still be very embarrassed, and his body will be scratched all over by weeds, thorns, and branches.

After reaching the top of the mountain, he changed the route directly without stopping or resting, and sprinted down the mountain with all his strength.

It is also a full sprint, going down the mountain is much more dangerous and difficult than going up the mountain.

Xiang Kun needed a high degree of concentration, concentrating on controlling the balance of his body, using his night vision ability and his own reaction speed to avoid tree trunks, branches, rocks and various obstacles on the road.

A bad one is the result of rolling directly down the hill or hitting a tree.

The first time he sprinted down the mountain, he was hooked before running a few steps, and the whole person rolled to the ground. Fortunately, relying on his strong physical fitness, he turned over again with the help of the tree trunk next to him after rolling a few meters.

The second time was even worse. I ran halfway to the mountainside. When I was at my fastest speed, I didn't dodge in time and crashed directly into the trunk of a big tree.

The whole person seemed to be falling apart, almost passed out, and lay on the mountain for more than 20 minutes, and only got up after all the injuries recovered.

If it was an ordinary person, he should have been sent directly to the hospital for emergency treatment.

In the past two days and nights, he has to sprint back and forth three times before going home.

This near-death method really made Xiang Kun feel a little bit like when he was fighting the giant owl.

Of course, this method is actually dangerous even for Xiang Kun. If he didn't dodge when he rushed down, and happened to hit some broken branches with sharp front ends, and just happened to pierce his head, then Maybe there is a possibility of hiccups.

After all, he didn't know if his brain could heal itself in time before dying after being fatally traumatized.

But it is also so that in the process of sprinting down the mountain, the whole person enters a state of excitement with high concentration of attention, motor system and visual ability running at full speed.

On the morning of the 22nd, Xiang Kun received a WeChat message from Tang Baona, asking him if he was free tonight to play cards at her house.

Since it was something that had been promised a long time ago, Xiang Kun didn't hold back. He made an appointment and arrived at Tang Baona's house at 7 o'clock in the evening.

After noticing that there might be a problem with his mental state, Xiang Kun also began to feel that it might be good for him to interact with people to a certain extent.

The neighborhood where Tang Baona and Yang Zhen'er lived was obviously not at the same level as Xiang Kun's neighborhood.

Not only is the location much worse, but the environment of the entire community and the configuration of various facilities are also much better.

When passing by the door of an intermediary on the edge of the community, I saw that the average price of houses for sale posted on the floor-to-ceiling glass of the outer window was around 100,000 per square meter, and they were all large luxury houses starting at 140 square meters at every turn. The price of buying them is 10 to 20 million.

If it was Xiang Kun in the past, when he saw this information, he would sigh with envy and longing at the same time, thinking that he could live in such a house by working hard and fantasizing about making a fortune after the company went public.

But now, his thoughts are:

It's still too lively around here, there are so many surveillance cameras...

When he arrived at Tang Baona's house, it was Yang Zhen'er who opened the door for him, but when he entered to change his slippers, he was stunned.

He saw a pair of basketball shoes on the side of the shoe cabinet at the door. These shoes were LEBRON 17 that had just been launched, and he had just checked them out a few days ago.

Originally, this kind of public sale of shoes may appear everywhere, so there is nothing strange about it.

But Xiang Kun smelled a familiar smell from the shoes, and he caught the smell coming from the house, and he was sure that it was the same as what he saw at Man Coffee two days ago, which he defined as the ponytail beauty code-named Female 5 Same.

Huh? Teacher Qiyu, are you interested in these shoes? You also like LBJ? Yang Zhen'er noticed Xiang Kun's reaction and asked with bright eyes.

Oh, my friend likes it. It's the boyfriend of Miss Tang's sister's classmate. Xiang Kun said casually.

I'll go! I almost didn't realize it when I turned around so much! You're talking about Sister Han's boyfriend! Yang Zhen'er said while welcoming him in.

Yes. Xiang Kun nodded, changed his slippers, walked in the door, turned the hallway, and sure enough, he saw the beautiful girl sitting next to Tang Baona in the spacious living room, who was the female 5 whom Man Coffee saw two days ago.
