What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Chapter 63 Mind training?

After leaving Tang Baona's community, Xiang Kun didn't call Didi immediately, but started walking slowly on the road.

It has been a while since he patroled the streets in the bustling areas at night. Even when it was close to twelve o'clock, many restaurants, convenience stores, and snack bars nearby were still open, and You can see food delivery boys everywhere, pedestrians who have just returned from entertainment or are going to entertainment.

During this period of time, after targeted training and several mutations, while his sensory abilities have been greatly improved, his brain's ability to process these information has also improved by leaps and bounds.

Just like now, walking on the street, relying on all kinds of visual, auditory, and olfactory information in his mind, he constructed and imagined a hologram centered on him and within a diameter of ten meters around him.

Of course, there are still many gaps in details between the imagined image and the reality, but it is enough for him to judge the surrounding situation.

And when he saw people on the road, he would subconsciously use the fastest speed to judge the other person's occupation and possible destination.

For example, the staggering little brother who just passed by him was wearing a white short shirt and dark suit trousers. A salesman on the go. The smell of alcohol and barbecue on his body indicates that he should have just finished playing skewers with friends or colleagues and is going home now.

It only took more than 2 seconds to make this judgment.

Of course, Xiang Kun wasn't sure that his judgment was correct. Anyway, this was just his initial scan of the surrounding environment and people, just like a radar, only obvious abnormalities would attract his attention.

He believes that with the strengthening of his targeted training and the increase in the number of blood drinking, his body will continue to mutate, and his judgment speed and accuracy will be further improved.

If he heard Xia Libing's first sentence of judgment about him - he has a strong sense of vigilance, he would definitely agree with him.

He does have a strong sense of vigilance, especially after the mutation.

Vigilance comes from insecurity, and the root of insecurity is unknown and uncertainty.

After knowing that he could guide the direction of mutation after drinking blood through targeted training, Xiang Kun continued to strengthen his sensory ability, as well as his ability to quickly process and judge sensory information, in order to obtain more information and reduce The unknown of the surrounding environment keeps oneself in an environment that can be controlled and understood at all times.

But the real unknown is not outside, but inside him.

Compared with collecting information from the outside world, Xiang Kun's insecurity came more from his own body.

There are too many unknowns and uncertainties in this ever-changing body that is too much beyond ordinary people.

Even though Xiang Kun has recorded a large amount of data on body changes, summed up a large number of changes, and even used targeted training to guide the direction of changes, and created a vampire mutation model, but in fact, for his body The cause of the mutation is still poorly understood, and it is not known where this mutation will eventually lead itself.

If possible, Xiang Kun actually hoped to cooperate with some authoritative medical institutions and research institutions.

However, he did not find any similar cases on the Internet, nor did he find any relevant information, which made Xiang Kun temporarily dismiss this idea.

After collecting the gray powder formed by his body tissue, he also thought about sending the sample to some external laboratories for testing. After a series of infrared, nuclear magnetic, XRD, and elemental analysis, the results are almost ready.

But he was worried that it would be fine if it was detected as a known and common substance, but if it was something special and strange, it might reveal his secret in advance and cause trouble.

He also thought about simply going to a graduate student in biology,

Research yourself? Maybe I can get an award in the future...

However, this idea was quickly rejected. His current situation is not suitable for studying with others, and for him who is now 5-6 days is a mutation cycle, this learning process may be too long.

Self-study?

In fact, since the mutation just started, he has been reading a lot of basic medical and biological courses and various related cutting-edge information, in order to find theories and methods to explain his body mutation.

It's just that those contents are too superficial, and it's okay to apply to ordinary people, but it doesn't work for him.

So when he ran into Professor Li, he chatted a lot. Hearing that Tang Baona said that Yang Zhen'er worked in a pharmaceutical company and had a master's degree from a medical university at night, he immediately agreed to come and play poker together. Communication, knowing which direction you should go to learn.

Although Yang Zhener is in finance and Xia Libing is a graduate student in psychiatry and psychology, the exchange tonight did not achieve the expected purpose, but playing cards and chatting with the three women made him feel that he had returned to a normal rhythm of life. He felt that This is good for your own psychological adjustment.

And at night, under his deliberate guidance, they talked about some movies about superpowers, vampires, and mutations, such as Scarlett Johansson's Super Body.

It’s about the process of the heroine’s brain development soaring to 100% after taking medicine to become a superhuman existence. Of course, the problem of “normal people’s brains are only developed at 10%” has been refuted by many articles, it’s just nonsense.

But what is certain is that for many people, the potential of the brain is not fully utilized.

As far as Xiang Kun was concerned, he had discovered that his brain, or thinking ability, was actually affected by mutation.

At the beginning, it was just more concentrated attention, better mental state, better memory, and higher efficiency in reading and thinking. These are related to the overall physical condition, and they can't explain anything.

However, with the continuous improvement of his sensory abilities, a bottleneck appeared in the brain's ability to process information, so he carried out targeted training.

These enhancements to the processing of sensory information are actually the evolution of brain capabilities.

Xiang Kun couldn't help but think that through targeted training, it should be no problem to make memory better, computing power stronger, and reaction faster - because this has actually happened.

He can think of ways to make himself more smart and have a stronger learning ability, so that he can easily acquire more knowledge to understand and study his own mutations.

But at the same time... Is there a way for him, through the training of the mind, to let the brain evolve some functions that it didn't have before?

Thinking of this, Xiang Kun stopped, didn't call Didi, and directly hailed a taxi to go home.

Although rationality tells him that this kind of thinking is nonsense and the possibility is very low, but since such nonsense has already happened to him, maybe there will be surprises if he tries it?

So when he got home, he closed the doors and windows, turned off the air conditioner, and turned off the fan to ensure that there was no large draft in the house.

Then put a piece of facial tissue on the table, sit upright at the table, stare at the piece of paper, imagine controlling its movement.

However, after staring at it for a while, he found that he always involuntarily changed the focus, zoomed in, and even clearly saw the texture on the paper towel.

The smell of paper towels is also transmitted very clearly to the brain.

After staring at it for a long time, the consciousness began to diverge uncontrollably, and even subconsciously began to calculate the size, thickness, and weight of the paper, and judge the pulp raw material and possible origin according to the smell...

Quickly shook my head, cleared these thoughts, and refocused on moving it.

Xiang Kun sat in front of the tissue for more than eight hours. From early morning until the sun rose, his eyes were fixed on the tissue, but the tissue remained motionless.

He was not discouraged by this, originally this was just training, and to see if it worked, he had to wait until after drinking blood.

Because of that whim last night, Xiang Kun sat facing a tissue for more than sixteen hours, only getting up and moving around for a few minutes in the middle, and drinking some water.

Although this process seems very simple, it is actually much more painful than his sixteen hours of physical, muscular training, or sensory training.

At seven o'clock in the evening, when hunger came, Xiang Kun withdrew his gaze on the paper towel, went to the kitchen, and took two rabbits to drink blood - the two meat rabbits he injected with his own blood, but from the observation results From the looks of it, they don't show any tendency to mutate.

This time he naturally didn't swallow stones to endure sleepiness, cleaned up the garbage, cleaned up the rabbit meat, put it in the refrigerator, and lay down on the bed to sleep.

When Xiang Kun woke up at 8:43 the next night, his first reaction was to run to the table in the living room, stare at the tissue on the table, and try to move it with his mind.

Twenty minutes later, however, the tissue remained motionless.

Xiang Kun even vaguely felt that the texture on the paper towel formed a smiling face, opening his mouth to laugh at him, which was a naked mockery.

Xiang Kun sighed, a weak air flow came out of his mouth, disturbed the tissue on the table, fluttered leisurely, and then slowly fell to the ground along the smooth table top.

Use your mind to control things in the air? It really is too much to think about!
