What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Looking at the middle-aged man with a medium build, rough appearance and a mustache who just came out of the entrance of the scenic spot, Ji Hang was puzzled:

Why is he here?

This middle-aged man was named Li Shiqi, and he was in the same unit as Ji Hang before, so he could be called a comrade-in-arms.

When Ji Hang started his business as a security company, he naturally kept in touch with his former comrades-in-arms. He is very clear about who has stronger business ability and professional skills. And this Li Shiqi was one of the first people he contacted. Because he knows very well that Li Shiqi has a lot of experience in leading and directing small teams.

In their line of work, there are actually no very high requirements for personal physical fitness and military strength. As time goes by and age increases, they must be inferior to young people. In comparison, experience and other professional abilities are the real ones. It is a priceless treasure, and it is something that most people have no place to learn if they spend money and time.

But at that time, Li Shizhen not only declined him, but also recruited him instead, saying that there was a big company that wanted to recruit people, the salary was quite generous, the annual income might reach seven figures, and all kinds of insurance and benefits were the best.

Yes, the comrade he told Mr. Chu and Mr. Liu last night who found a "suitable job" with a seven-figure annual income was Li Shiqi.

To be honest, he was also very interested at the time and asked a little bit more, but Li Shizhen said that for more specific situations, he needed someone to talk to him, and he needed to sign some non-disclosure agreements.

After thinking about it, Ji Hang chose to continue his entrepreneurial path.

One is that he has already recruited some old brothers, and the funds are almost prepared, so it is impossible to just leave this stall alone; the other is that according to Li Shiqi's description, what the company wants them to do may not be easy, and the big money will surely It's not for nothing, and it's not necessarily a crime, but they will either be on business trips for a long time, or they will be on call 24 hours a day, plus a complicated confidentiality agreement, it is estimated that they will be similar to their original missions. He is not young anymore, and he still hopes to have some normal life.

Seeing his old comrades in arms, Ji Hang didn't say hello. He noticed that there were two women, three men and five people beside Li Shiqi, who were probably working.

Li Shizhen, who walked out of the scenic spot, also maintained a good observation habit, and soon noticed the dark man leaning on the side of a GL8 in the parking lot. He didn't stop his eyes too much, but nodded slightly as a greeting.

Ji Hang also nodded slightly in response.

It seems that he is really working now.

Ji Hang couldn't help guessing about Li Shiqi's job, looking at the people he accompanied, from attire, grooming, things they carried,

As well as the staffing, it doesn't look like rich people wandering around the mountains.

If you are not traveling, what are you doing in Wushu Mountain?

From the position of Li Shizhen when he walked, and the state of the other people, it can be inferred that among those people, the two women have the highest status, or the most important.

And the two of them had serious expressions at this time, and they were talking in a low voice, as if they had encountered some problem.

But curiosity is curiosity, and Ji Hang also knows that if there is no relevant interest involved, if he investigates rashly, it is tantamount to provoking Li Shiqi and affecting his work.

Half a minute later, watching Xiang Kun and his group coming out of the scenic spot, Ji Hang suddenly had a thought:

Xiang Kun's visit to Wushu Mountain today has something to do with Li Shiqi and the others, right?

But he quickly threw this thought out of his mind, it shouldn't be such a coincidence.

Naturally, he would not know that when he and Li Shizhen greeted each other in a small distance in a calm and tacit manner, Xiang Kun, who was not far from Li Shizhen and his party and who was also out of the scenic spot, had already noticed the "" between them" Communicate”, connecting them instantly.

Xiang Kun didn't think that Ji Hang was a member of "Shenxing Technology", because he could obviously feel that the person in the group of "Shenxing Technology" who nodded to Ji Hang, when he saw Ji Hang, was There is a moment of surprise or amazement. And according to the conversation between Ji Hang and Xu Kai after they entered the scenic spot, it can be confirmed that the reason for the two of them driving today is Liu Feibao, and has nothing to do with "Shenxing Technology".

As for the person in "Shenxing Technology" and Ji Hang, it is actually easy to understand - they may have served in the same unit before.

...

A few hours ago, when they were still in the car and hadn't arrived at the scenic spot, Xiang Kun had already sensed the "super sensory connection" piece of paper beside Mi Qiao, and knew the relationship between her and "Shenxing Technology" People are already in the Wushu Mountain Scenic Area.

Therefore, Xiang Kun was not surprised to meet Mi Qiao, Fang Pingfang and others in Wushu Mountain, and even expected it.

Although they had speculated about their purpose near Wushu Mountain before, it was only now that they were completely sure that they were indeed coming for the mutated creatures that might appear on Wushu Mountain.

Xiang Kun was also curious about how they would investigate, and what role Mi Qiao and Dr. Fang would play among them.

Compared with the whereabouts of the "mutated ants" or "mutated big birds", he paid more attention to the investigation mode of "Shenxing Technology" on such things.

When Xiang Kun and the others went up the mountain, Mi Qiao and the others were already on the mountain, and they were in the area where the accident happened the day before yesterday. Ordinary tourists enter.

When tourists go up the mountain, they can see Mi Qiao from a distance on the mountainside, what are they doing there? Can you go there?"

The staff's answer was: "They are not tourists."

Xiang Kun reckoned that the staff of the scenic spot should only know that they were not tourists, but the coordinator above probably didn't necessarily tell them what they were doing.

Although the distance was far, Mi Qiao carried Xiang Kun's "super sensory connection" item in his bag, which could help him lock the location so that his super hearing could accurately collect sound information.

So while Xiang Kun accompanied Tang Baona and the others to climb the mountain, he also paid attention to the information from Mi Qiao and Dr. Fang, as well as the conversations between Ji Hang and Xu Kai in the parking lot.

Although his brain can process a variety of information at the same time, most of them are subconscious instincts after a lot of training and mutation, just like when he walks into a certain building or a certain area, his brain will automatically collect various sounds and smells Information, and preliminary preprocessing, if there are details that he should pay attention to, he will be aware of it.

But like now, it is necessary to consciously concentrate the hearing ability to collect the sound information of two extremely far apart locations. Even if he wants to do it now, it is somewhat difficult, so when he climbs the mountain, he seems a little dazed and inattentive. look.

"Xiang Kun, are you not feeling well?" Tang Baona, who was walking in front, noticed his abnormality, turned around and helped him, and asked with concern.

Xiang Kun withdrew his attention to Ji Hang and Xu Kai in the parking lot. On the one hand, they had stopped chatting, and on the other hand, they were too far away. Very difficult.

"Maybe it's because of lack of sleep, I'm a little sleepy." Xiang Kun explained with a smile.

"Lack of sleep? I'll go. You don't have enough sleep and you go for a run early in the morning?" Zicheng, who was walking a little ahead, heard this, turned his head and asked with wide eyes: "I don't even know what time you go out! It was the same yesterday morning, I went for a run early in the morning, in such a cold day...why bother, why bother? Are you uncomfortable in bed? "

Yang Zhuo smiled and said, "Brother Liu, look at Brother Xiang's figure. He doesn't have a strong will, but he can't practice it in a few months." The photos show the changes in Xiang Kun's body before and after exercising.

Zicheng nodded and sighed: "It seems that I can't lose weight in this life. I can't live up to my lazy sleep and delicious food!"

Yang Jie couldn't help complaining: "Hey, why do you express laziness as if you love life?"

Xiang Kun signaled to Tang Baona that he was fine, and pointed to the small pavilion halfway up the mountain: "I'll go there to rest for a while, you guys continue to go up."

"Xiaojie and I are also a little tired from climbing, let's rest together." Zhang Qian also said, and then took the lead to go to the small pavilion with Yang Jie and Xiao Min.

So a group of eleven people entered the small pavilion at once, crowding the whole small pavilion to the brim.

Everyone was drinking, eating, taking pictures, and chatting, and it was very lively.

And Xiang Kun sat in the corner of the pavilion, pretending to be resting, and at the same time, he could concentrate on listening to Mi Qiao, Dr. Fang and the others.

However, judging from what he heard, although Mi Qiao and the others have many investigation channels and sources of information, they have collected some related videos taken around the time, and there are a large number of eyewitnesses describing the scene of the accident. The specific direction of the investigation is still unclear, and the truth found out is even far worse than that of Xiang Kun.

Listening to them analyzing and speculating about the accident on the morning of the 18th, Xiang Kun couldn't help but feel anxious for them, and wanted to help them lead them on the right path and let them realize what they were investigating.

He wants to see what kind of processing mechanism the people of "Shenxing Technology" will have after confirming the existence of mutant creatures, how to carry out follow-up actions, and how to mobilize resources.

Although they may eventually go in the right direction of investigation, at most it will take more time, but Xiang Kun can't stay in Tongshi Town for too long, and he has already booked a ticket to go back tomorrow. He hopes that Mi Qiao and the others will The investigation can make progress as soon as possible, and it is best to have a breakthrough today.

But he couldn't just go over and tell them: "What you are looking for are two mutated creatures! One may be mutated by ants! The other may be some kind of big bird! They should be fighting each other, causing harm to ordinary tourists! They Now there are not a few peaks near Wushu Mountain, you can try to search in the deep mountains!"

However, after Xiang Kun found out that one of the people with Mi Qiao and Dr. Fang was Zhou Rui, a researcher of "Shenxing Technology", who he had previously confirmed his identity with Alice's help, he came up with an idea to try.

Sitting by the pillar of the gazebo, Xiang Kun closed his eyes, pretending to be dozing off, thus entering the "super sensory state".

Through the positioning of the "black circle graffiti" in the soft leather book in Mi Qiao's backpack, Xiang Kun's perception descended around them.

In the "super sensory state", Xiang Kun was already very familiar with the body perception information of Mi Qiao and Dr. Fang, and he knew which information represented which person.

Previously, Little Apple relied on the control of multiple "emotional injection" items that Xiang Kun had given her, and "developed" a collection of emotional representations that could call "emotional injection" items, so that while it had an emotional impact on the target, A corresponding hallucinatory projection appears.

And through Xiang Kun's attempts and experiments, using it in the "super sensory state" can also produce corresponding emotional projection illusions. The principle of this illusion is the same as that of dreams.

Because of this, Xiang Kun came up with an idea, could he apply the method of editing dreams to this, directly causing people to have similar hallucinations in reality?

According to his deduction, this method is still feasible, especially now that there is an opportunity for this experiment, Mi Qiao has the "black circle graffiti" in the bag on his back, and Zhou Rui is within the range of influence.

Therefore, Xiang Kun began to concretize a certain image in Zhou Rui's sensory information after calling the "black circle graffiti" emotional concretization set into Zhou Rui's perceptual information.

The hallucinations in the waking state are naturally much more difficult to create than in the dream state, and they are still affected by the space in the "super sensory state".

Before, Dr. Fang influenced her to see "cut pieces of rabbit meat" in the laboratory, relying on the emotional concretization of the rabbit wood carving, but now, he wants to "edit" the illusion independently.

Naturally, he can't make up whatever he wants, because there is no corresponding "code". Fortunately, Xiang Kun had perceived Zhou Rui's dreams before, so he could try to edit certain elements that had appeared in the dreams, so that they could all appear in Zhou Rui's visual senses at this time.

It's like a simple "drawing editor", without any brushes, only the established patterns can be "placed" by him.

The pattern Xiang Kun chose to place was - ants.

This is the most impressive element that I saw in Zhou Rui's dream at the beginning. He and Alice found Zhou Rui's exact identity through the ant box seen in the dream.

And now, ants are the best hint for them.

So, under the influence of Xiang Kun, Zhou Rui, who was taking pictures beside Fang Pingfang according to her request, suddenly saw an ant the size of a pinky fingernail quickly burrowing into the mud.

Zhou Rui froze for a moment.

If other people saw this ant, there should be nothing unusual. After all, this is the most common insect, and it is normal to see it in the mountains.

But Zhou Rui is a senior and even a fanatical ant lover. He knows the habits of many ants very well. He knows that in this season, there should be no ants outside. The ants basically stay in their nests for the winter.

Moreover, the big worker ant he just saw happened to be the species he was raising now, and this kind of ant was not distributed in Haixi Province.

Strong curiosity drove him to lie on the ground and carefully observe the place where the giant worker ant disappeared. After a while, he took out a tool to dig up the soil.

His abnormal behavior quickly attracted the attention of Fang Pingfang, Mi Qiao and others, who all came to inquire.

But Zhou Rui didn't say anything, just dug the ground vigorously, observed after digging, and began to look for other places.

In the distance, in the small pavilion on the mountainside, Xiang Kun had already left the "super sensory state".

He only created a short-lived illusion of ants for Zhou Rui, and even the illusion itself has a limited sense of reality. Fortunately, it was taken from Zhou Rui's own dream, otherwise he might not have recognized it.

But no matter what, the effect has been achieved.

Xiang Kun believed that with Zhou Rui's familiarity with ants, he would soon be able to discover the lack of ant populations on this mountain, which would trigger more targeted investigations and actions by Mi Qiao, Dr. Fang and others.

"Xiang Kun, let's go back early later, you really need to catch up on sleep and take a good rest." Seeing Xiang Kun "wake up", Tang Baona who was sitting next to her said worriedly.

Xiang Kun jumped up, stretched his arms greatly, and said energetically, "I'm OK! I took a little nap, and now I've become a living dragon again. Let's climb the mountain!" Said Go ahead and climb up the mountain first.

Seeing his appearance, Tang Baona, You Meng and the others let go of their worries, and followed them back to the mountain path.

Xiang Kun didn't take a few steps in front, and felt the vibration of the phone in his pocket. He picked it up and saw that it was Xia Libing sent him a WeChat message: "Are you worried about those two drivers?"

Xiang Kun was startled, and looked back at Xia Libing, who was walking up in the middle of the team with his mobile phone, and was a little surprised that Lao Xia could also see that there was something wrong with Ji Hang and Xu Kai? There should be no flaws in Ji and Xu's performance? Unlike him, Lao Xia has so many ways to perceive information.

"What's their problem?" Xiang Kun quickly replied to WeChat.

After a while, Xia Libing replied: "Although their driving skills are very skilled, they are not like professional drivers. Ji Hang talks too much, and you deal with it too deliberately. You are trying to trick him."

Only then did Xiang Kun suddenly realize that Lao Xia had drawn inferences in reverse by observing him.

"It's okay, they don't mean anything malicious, I'm thinking about other things, don't worry." Xiang Kun replied quickly.

Lao Xia replied with an OK expression.

When going down the mountain, in fact, Xiang Kun didn't intend to get together with Mi Qiao and Dr. Fang, it was just a coincidence.

However, Mi Qiao and the others were on their way ahead, and they didn't notice Xiang Kun and the others behind them.

According to the information Xiang Kun heard, they were still confirming the situation of the ants, but they suddenly got the news that traces of the big bird had been found elsewhere, and they needed to rush there immediately.

After returning to the car with his friends, Xiang Kun built a "map" of the surroundings in his brain, judging the possible trajectory of the big bird.
