What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Latest website: Has Nana arrived already? Haha, that's just the right time. Xiang Kun's voice came through the speaker of the mobile phone.

Chef Xiang, where are you? When will you be back? Yang Zhener immediately came over and said into the phone.

Liu Shiling also knelt on the chair, leaning half of her body on the table, and stretched her head in the direction of Lao Xia's mobile phone: Bald uncle, have you eaten? What did you have for dinner?

Tang Baona also protected the little chubby girl to prevent her from falling, and asked: Xiang Kun, you said you wanted us to help, what kind of help specifically?

Little Apple whispered: We are all ready. The voice was so low that Yang Zhener next to her didn't hear it, but she knew that Xiang Kun on the other side of the phone could hear it - even if Xiang Kun couldn't hear it, Alice can also help Xiang Kun hear it.

Hearing the barrage of questions here, Xiang Kun laughed happily a few times before answering one by one:

Lao San, I'm in the northwest, on the border, in the mountains. I won't go back until the matter is settled. Little Lingdang, I haven't eaten, but I'm not hungry. Have you had enough for dinner? Nana, I am now I called here just to talk about this. I need your help right away, but this help is in a special way...

When Little Apple, who was originally the quietest and most calm, heard this, he couldn't help but stand up, clenching his fists at his side, and asked a little excitedly: Guang...Uncle Xiang, are we going to start fighting now? Just leave?

Xiang Kun smiled and said: Little Apple, don't worry. The enemy we need to deal with is very complex. It has no entity in the traditional sense and is everywhere. I need you to help me 'catch' it. There is no need to go elsewhere. After you fall asleep, in your dream, you will naturally know what to do. You don’t need to deliberately think about fighting, just come out of your normal state and do it according to your own ideas.

Hearing these words, Yang Zhener, Tang Baona, and even the little fat girl fell into a thoughtful state, obviously thinking of some recent things, or what Xiang Kun had said to them, or the dreams he had had. There are also those qualifiers that Lao Xia used to describe enemies.

Little Apple was a little confused: But... in dreams, we can only dream according to our instincts. Can we wake up in a dream?

Little Apple had previously had various dreams under the influence of Xiang Kun's Qingzhuwu. She could remember them clearly every time after waking up. She also realized that these dreams were slightly different from her previous dreams. It was different, especially after meeting Alice in a dream, I realized that my dreams could communicate with Alice and establish a connection. But every time I realize that it is a special dream, I have to wait until I wake up before my subjective consciousness can make a judgment.

In dreams, it is the most instinctive reaction.

Xiang Kun said: Don't worry, you will know when the time comes.

Tang Baona immediately thought of the lucid dream she had not long ago, and what Lao Xia and Alice said to her in the dream.

Xiang Kun continued: Get ready and try to fall asleep within two hours. Don't worry, there won't be any danger this time. In the dream, Alice and I will be with you all the time. I don't care about your situation. I know, I will monitor you at all times, and if you feel any discomfort or are unwilling to stay in your dream, I will let you really wake up.

Xiang Kun explained a few more precautions to Lao Xia, answered a few questions from Yang Laosan, and ended the call.

Xia Libing stood up, put away his mobile phone, and said: Everyone, let's wash up and get ready to go to bed. We got out of bed and everyone stayed on the same floor, sleeping in two rooms. I slept with Little Lingdang and Little Apple. Sister Nana and cousin sleep in one room.

What about me? Alice jumped over.

Xia Libing stretched out his hand to hold her head down to prevent her from jumping, and then continued to say to Tang Baona: Sister Nana, you will sing a song that will help you sleep in a while, and help little bells and little apples fall asleep first.

She knew that the songs Tang Baona created through emotional melody had the effect of stimulating emotions, and Tang Baona created a sleeping song based on Yang Zhener's previous dozing state. Now it is popular in various countries around the world and in different music styles. It ranks in the top ten on the aAPP list and is a must-listen for many people before going to bed.

She could see that although Little Fatty and Little Apple seemed to be quite calm, in fact, after Xiang Kun's call, they had already almost lost the urge to fight monsters and their eyes widened. It has to be round and sparkling. In this state, if they were to fall asleep as quickly as possible, it was really not something they could do if they wanted to.

However, with Tang Baona personally humming the Lullaby here, I believe it won't be a big problem for them both to sleep well.

Cousin, you and I should clear the dining table. There is no need to wash the dishes yet. Alice, adjust the security system of the house, take over all communication devices, and put them into silent mode so as not to disturb our sleep. If anyone is there during this time Find it, respond appropriately independently, and make every effort to ensure the execution of the mission.

After Xia Libing finished explaining in an orderly manner, Tang Baona took Little Fat Girl and Little Apple upstairs to wash up, change into pajamas, and get into bed first.

Recently, the temperature and weather in Chongyun Village have been very comfortable. It is neither too hot nor too cold, and there is no need to turn on the air conditioner when sleeping.

When Xia Libing and Yang Zhener finished cleaning up the downstairs and quietly arrived at the room of Little Fat Girl and Little Apple, they found that the two little girls, one big and one little girl, were already lying on the same bed and fast asleep. , and Tang Baona, who was sitting next to them and humming a Lullaby to them both, was also dozing off with her chin propped up. It seemed that she had made herself sleepy by singing the Lullaby.

However, I have to say that Tang Baona's Lullaby is really efficient. Judging from the time, basically the little fat girl and little Apple came up with her just after washing up and changing pajamas, and they were all gone within five minutes of lying down. Fell asleep.

Xia Libing softly called Tang Baona out, then followed her and Yang Zhener back to the room, and asked her to continue singing the lullaby to help Yang Zhener sleep.

After changing into pajamas, he lay down on the bed and covered himself with a quilt. When Yang Zhener saw Tang Baona leaning next to her and humming softly, and Xia Libing sitting on the edge of the bed, she couldn't help but laugh: Why do I feel like I'm dreaming back to my childhood? , It’s like turning into a child and having to be coaxed by mom and dad before going to bed.”

Xia Libing looked at Tang Baona, who had stopped humming because of yawning: Sister Nana, please relax. When my cousin falls asleep, you can just sleep there too.

Yang Zhener asked: Hey? In that case, what will you do, Lao Xia? Can you sleep by yourself? Why don't you sleep with us here? Our bed is big, so there is no problem in squeezing another person into it.

I can sleep. Xia Libing said simply.

At this moment, Alice suddenly appeared beside her, sitting side by side on the bed, swinging her feet in the air, stretching her head and saying across her and Yang Zhen'er: Don't worry, Lao Xia can't sleep. I’ll play Sister Nana’s song to her.”

Alice, will I dream about you later? Oh, what does it feel like to still be 'awake' in a dream? I think my dreams are quite...

Yang Zhener murmured, but her voice became weaker and weaker, and she fell asleep without realizing it.

Tang Baona next to her also stopped humming, nodded to Xia Libing, relaxed her already heavy eyelids, and let herself fall asleep.

Xia Libing glanced at Alice next to her, who nodded her head knowingly, and she knew that her cousin and Nana were truly asleep - Alice could directly use their supersensory information to Their physical condition is judged to know what kind of sleep they have entered.

Xia Libing stood up, walked out of the room and gently closed the door. Returning to her room, she first tucked the little fat girl and little Apple under the quilt, and then checked several love items placed on the bedside table. and Super Connected Things, then washed up and lay down on another bed in the room.

Xia Libing glanced at the chopsticks she placed on the bedside, touched the leather wristband on her left wrist, felt the small iron pieces on the wristband, and said, Notify Xiang Kun after I fall asleep.

Even though she didn't need to sleep, Alice nodded with a smile and nodded along with Lao Xia's bedside. She said softly, Okay! Then she asked, Do you want me to play Sister Nana's song?

Xia Libing shook his head, closed his eyes, slowly adjusted his breathing, and successfully fell asleep in less than ten minutes.

The entire building and the entire courtyard fell into silence.

Even the entire Chongyun Village became quiet along with it.

The wind seemed to have become thicker and no longer whining, the birds and insects were also silent, and even the TVs in some nearby people's homes automatically lowered their volume.

On the roof of the building, a cat and a bird stood on the edge of the rooftop guardrail, overlooking the ground below, like two loyal guards.

…

After finishing the call with Lao Xia, Xiang Kun held his mobile phone and silently watched Mr. Liang drink blood with his hands behind his back.

The phone call just now made Xiang Kun feel like a commander was giving orders to his combat troops remotely for combat deployment.

But it's a bit funny to think that his battle force is composed of three older girls, one underage girl, one first-grade child, and one little artificial intelligence girl who was born less than a year ago.

Mr. Liang quickly finished drinking the blood. Before falling into a deep sleep, he glanced at Xiang Kun one last time and said, Now, please. The iconic sound of metal friction in his voice was actually much less pronounced. It's a lot softer.

Don't worry. Xiang Kun gave him a thumbs up.

Mr. Liang nodded, walked to the side, sat down with his back against a big tree, and relaxed into a state of invisibility.

The broken eggshells and various debris on the ground slowly collapsed and dissipated, and Mr. Liang's phased transformation began.

Xiang Kun stood nearby with his eyes squinted, looking like he was dozing off. But in fact, this was the most concentrated he had been during Mr. Liang's staged transformation during this period.

Next is the critical moment whether the layout during this period can achieve the predetermined results. It is not only related to the plan itself, but also related to the survival of Mr. Liang. Xiang Kun naturally goes all out.

Since Mr. Liang trusts him, he will not betray this trust.

This battle is not a real-versus-real, punch-to-the-flesh, close-quarters combat type. It is a comparison of cognitive levels, operational skills, and the underlying system construction.

Therefore, Xiang Kun is extremely confident, because not only is he much better than the Ultimate Predator in system construction, but he also understands the Ultimate Predator better than the Ultimate Predator understands him. Countless levels.

Before Xiang Kun erased the special factors and special super-sensory information of the Ultimate Predator from his body, the Ultimate Predator could know the specific changes that had occurred in him. However, judging from the actual situation later, the information that the Ultimate Predator can master is limited to information such as body changes and staged transformation levels. Super-connected objects, emotion-intensive objects, and the super-sensory object system based on these existences and the various abilities derived from them are completely unknown and have no concept.

In fact, this is quite normal. After all, Xiang Kun is taking a path never imagined by mutant creatures, and the fundamental need of the Ultimate Predator is to obtain the Path that can complete its next stage of extreme transformation. Blood Source seems to be doing nothing but creating an environment suitable for the emergence of this Blood Source, so it only needs to pay attention to the staged transformation degree of the mutated creatures.

Judging from the long-term operating mode of the Ultimate Predator, it is obvious that it has placed its treasure on the human race, believing that from the mutated creatures transformed by humans, creatures that meet its staged transformation needs will be born. Blood source is the most likely.

At the same time, humans are also the group that it considers to be the most likely threat to it, so every time human researchers start to study mutated organisms and are about to learn the secrets of high-dimensional factors, it will In a stress-sensitive state, causing a tragedy and trying to prevent it.

However, judging from the appearance of Xiang Kun, the judgment of the Ultimate Predator is actually correct. Human beings can indeed give birth to a blood source that meets its requirements, and there can indeed be people who pose a fatal threat to it. It's just that It did not expect that its monitoring method and control system failed.

Xiang Kun knew very well that it was not that the Ultimate Predator had low intelligence, but that it was limited by its information acquisition method, type, and magnitude, which determined that it could only set this stress trigger mode and did not Methods for more flexible and flexible response and processing.

Especially after Xiang Kun knew its entire operating mechanism and behavior system, there was even a way to only let it know specific information about itself. It would not be able to know the information that it did not know, and he could set Trap and let it crawl in obediently.

Alice suddenly appeared next to Xiang Kun, imitating his example with her hands behind her back, looking at the direction where Mr. Liang was sleeping, and said, Boss, they are all asleep.
