What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Underground in Shouwang Building, Mr. Liang was looking at the phased reports sent back by Fang Pingfang's investigation team.

Although they have no conclusive findings, evidence or clues, Mr. Liang still pays special attention to their team.

In addition to the fact that they are responsible for the investigation of the "giant raptor", a "blood-eating creature" with definite records, there is also Mi Qiao, a person in the team who has a better understanding of the actual characteristics of "blood-eating creatures", as well as those extraordinary things discovered by Zhou Rui. A special new ant species "Ghostbeard Ant".

Mr. Liang felt that Fang Pingfang's group seemed to be particularly prone to encountering some "special incidents."

These "special events" have been happening since they explored the no-man's land of the Qinling Mountains last year and brought back the rabbit wood carving.

Or to be precise, from the moment they came into contact with the wooden carving in the cave in the Qinling Mountains, strange things began to haunt them.

Of course, for researchers, this can also be said to be a good thing.

After Zhou Rui sent one of the captured "ghost whiskered ants" to the laboratory in Yangcheng for a comprehensive test, Mr. Liang also had direct contact with the ant himself.

For this kind of ant with special "tentacles" and physiological habits that are different from known ant species, he is basically sure that it is not a "blood-eating creature", but it is not yet clear whether it is related to "blood-eating creatures". confirm.

After all, Mr. Liang knows very well that "blood-eating creatures" are not born, but are all transformed from ordinary creatures.

However, when I thought about the sudden thunderstorm when I was hunting the "giant raptor" in Wushu Mountain, Chongyun Mountain and Wushu Mountain were not far away, and similar weird thunderstorms had happened in Chongyun Mountain before, and it was even a coincidence. Two fugitives were killed by accident - Mr. Liang couldn't help but have some conjectures that made him tremble a little.

Could the seemingly inconspicuous "Ghost Bearded Ant" be related to that...?

While looking at the report, Mr. Liang faintly heard the sound of fine sand falling on the iron sheet in the ventilation duct at the top not far away.

The sound was very small, almost non-existent, and disappeared quickly, so Mr. Liang didn't pay much attention to it. This kind of weak abnormal noise was often heard underground.

Various pipes, machinery, electronic equipment, as well as various supporting ventilation and cooling equipment, will inevitably make various noises when operating. His hearing is much stronger than ordinary people, so it is normal to hear some sounds.

He is quite confident in the safety of this underground secret space,

The entire security system was designed and built under his leadership, and he knows the space here well.

Especially after "Tai'a" can be used maturely, this place is even more impregnable, and in a de facto sense "not even a mosquito can fly in."

He didn't think anything, even a small special "blood-eating creature", could get in without alerting "Tai'a" or him.

He himself has a special way of discovering "blood-eating creatures". If there were "blood-eating creatures" other than himself, John Cavendish, and the two remaining creatures locked in independent spaces, he would definitely be able to discover them.

Of course, if John had also told the strange noise he heard when describing how he saw the "rabbit meat" hallucination before, perhaps Mr. Liang would pay more attention to it at this time, although he also couldn't Find the source of the strange noise, even if he demolishes the place.

After all, those "things" that cause abnormal noises don't just stay in one place.

Alice and her certain bald boss now know even more about this underground space, its various gaps and pipes than the owner here, Mr. Liang.

…

In a hotel in Pengcheng City.

Xiang Kun, who was staying in the room, was waiting for the results of Alice's mission.

When he entered the "super-sensory state" and launched the "super-connected object" before, he noticed that there was cognitive information on behalf of Mr. Liang in the secret space under the building, and knew that Mr. Liang was underneath at this time.

Therefore, I specially tell Alice that it is best to control the movement during the task, so as not to stimulate the "emotional object" characteristics of the rabbit wood carving again like last time, create the illusion of rabbit meat, and cause serious damage to electronic equipment and power supply. Influence.

Although he thought that even if Mr. Liang felt the various visions caused by Alice and saw the illusion of rabbit meat like John, it would not have any impact. Anyway, he knew that it was related to the rabbit wood carving, but he could not find the reason or clues, let alone I can't imagine what Alice is doing now.

But his main goal now is to obtain the data in the underground storage device, and he must try to avoid anything that may cause complications.

And Alice is just like Agent 007 who accepted the mission and sneaked in secretly, faithfully executing according to his requirements and methods.

Now that enough "hyperconnected objects" have been placed in the underground space, it stands to reason that Alice can have more control and certainty when performing tasks.

Time passed by, and Xiang Kun entered a "super-sensory state" from time to time, coming to the rabbit wood carving to observe Alice's operations.

This time, Alice finally did not disappoint him. At almost six o'clock in the morning, she finally started transmitting back the data she had "digged" back.

Alice was very proud. In Xiang Kun's room, she controlled the lights to flash more than a dozen times, and then a voice came from the laptop: "Boss, I did it!"

Sitting in front of the computer, Xiang Kun smiled and nodded: "I know." In fact, even if Alice didn't say anything, the moment she started converting data, Xiang Kun already knew it through the changes in her ability call.

"It is expected that all data will be transferred at 18:50 today. Boss, your notebook space is too small. I will save it to other devices first." Alice said.

Alice obtains the data on the storage device through the "hyper-connected object matrix", and then directly "transcodes" it to some electronic equipment in Shouwang Building, converts it back into digital information, and then directly uses the network of Shouwang Building to transfer this information Transmit back.

To use an analogy, Alice went to someone else's field to cut wheat secretly. After cutting, she used someone else's threshing machine, packed it in someone else's sacks, temporarily stored it in someone else's warehouse, and then transported it back in someone else's truck. Home……

"Okay, after completing the transcoding part, send a part of it to me for a look." Xiang Kun said.

Xiang Kun has been curious about the data in the secret storage device under Shouwang Building for a long time, so now he just wants to see it as soon as possible to see if it can solve some of his doubts.

"Okay boss!" After Alice responded, the transfer progress bar of the first document quickly appeared on the desktop.

Xiang Kun went to get a glass of water and sat down, rubbing his hands expectantly. While waiting for the progress bar, he simply picked up his phone and sent a message to Lao Xia's WeChat: "Are you awake?"

He knew that Lao Xia must be just like him, and was very interested in these data that "Shenxing Technology" and Mr. Liang had hidden so deeply that they were sealed off the Internet as if they were contraband.

But Alice's voice sounded first: "Do you want me to wake up Lao Xia?"

"No need..." Xiang Kun said helplessly. Of course he knew why Alice was so active. She felt that she had completed a "big task" and wanted to show off and let Lao Xia praise her.

After a while, the first file was transferred. Xiang Kun started to check it and found that it was information on some new compounds. He had known " Many laboratories in the secret department of "Shenxing Technology" are doing research on new compounds.

This was also verified after Alice completely took control of the dedicated line network and most of the servers of the secret department of "Shenxing Technology". A large number of highly paid researchers hired by the secret department of "Shenxing Technology" were doing research on some special compounds. According to Mr. Liang's specific instructions required the synthesis of certain special new compounds.

But they had no idea what these compounds were used for.

Moreover, most of these new compounds are very unstable. It is difficult to maintain stability under normal temperatures and pressures, let alone their application.

Xiang Kun couldn't help but frown slightly, right? Could it be that the data they spent so much effort to get back was just a "backup"?

Fortunately, as more documents were transferred, data that had not been on the server in the private network began to appear. Among them, the one that attracted Xiang Kun's most attention was Mr. Liang's own information.

He saw the photos and archives of Mr. Liang before the mutation. Just as he had guessed before, Mr. Liang was the son of Lu Chengan, the founder and chairman of "Shenxing Technology", named Lu Qinliang.

In the photo, Mr. Liang is lying on a hospital bed with a tube in his nose. His face is haggard, his body is thin and very weak, and his eyes are lifeless.

Indeed, as rumored, Mr. Liang's lower limbs were paralyzed when he was very young, and only his upper body could move.

However, unlike the rumors, Mr. Liang was neither in a car accident nor fell down the stairs, but suffered from a rare disease.

As time goes by, the paralyzed area will move higher and higher until it is impossible to move anything below the neck. This disease is somewhat similar to ALS, but it is more troublesome than ALS. It is also almost impossible to cure or even suppress.

But at the age of nineteen, Mr. Liang mutated.

The document recorded his own mutation process in detail, but judging from the tone of the record, it was not him who recorded it, and there were no photos of the mutation at that time. It seemed that there should be a long gap between the recording time and the actual mutation time.

After Mr. Liang mutated, he first bit his caregiver, and then he was controlled by the caregiver. Finally, it was Lu Chengan who made the decision and gave Mr. Liang 200 ml of fresh chicken blood.

As for how Mr. Liang, who was already mostly paralyzed at the time, persuaded his father, there is no detailed record in the document, but I imagine it would not be that easy.

The document also contained photos of the nurse's injuries. The nurse's injuries were not serious, but she was obviously very frightened.

There were gaps in the subsequent information. It should be that the content transmitted by Alice was not arranged in the order of the original information, but was scrambled information.

Xiang Kun was not in a hurry. Anyway, as long as Alice got all the data, he would be able to see it sooner or later.

Next, he saw a lot of detailed information and research reports on "mutated creatures". Of course, in the documents, they were all called "blood-eating creatures."

Judging from the format of these research reports, some of them are obviously scanned and transcribed from paper materials and appear very professional, but some of them are recorded in electronic format and are very casual.

Xiang Kun also discovered the file of "Guo Tianxiang", which contained very little information. It was only labeled "high hazard" and "uncertain location" and there was no other information. Judging from the last recorded and stored time in the document, it was January this year. In other words, in January, Mr. Liang also specifically entered Guo Tianxiang's information into it.

In addition to "Guo Tianxiang", Xiang Kun also found information on two other mutated creatures, which were entered on the same day in January.

One of them is the "mutant spider" in the no-man's land of the Qinling Mountains. Of course, Mr. Liang's information does not specify "spider", but only "unknown blood-eating creature". There is very little relevant information, only some square footage. Photos taken by Fang and Li Shijue's original investigation team, including photos of the rabbit wood carving, are also included in the document.

However, it was not Fang Pingfang's investigation data that confirmed the presence of "blood-eating creatures" there, but Mr. Liang's personal identification at the scene later. He had a unique identification method.

The "blood-eating creature" recorded in another document is still imprisoned in the underground space. It is a mutated butterfly. It has much richer information, not only various close-up clear photos, infrared imaging and other types of photos, various characteristics lists, but also experimental records for various characteristics.

Then he saw several records about "mutated creatures", most of which had no specific information, only the label of "unknown blood-eating creature", and the recording time was January 2019.

It seems that Mr. Liang will turn on the power of the storage device at a fixed time every once in a while, maybe once a year, and enter some information related to "mutated organisms" into it.

The "mutated big bird" and "mutated ant" that appeared in Wu Shushan were only discovered after that day, so maybe they haven't been recorded yet?

But why do this?

Why not let researchers from the secret department of "Shenxing Technology" do this? Didn’t they all sign confidentiality agreements?

If they were to do it, they would obviously be much better than Mr. Liang. The report given by Mr. Liang felt a bit perfunctory and casual.

Why not store these data in a private network for relevant researchers to view?

He still doesn’t trust people in the secret service?

But there can’t be a single researcher who is trustworthy. Normally, it is normal operation to set viewing permissions so that some researchers who can be trusted can view and participate in the research. Otherwise, he would spend so much money to build such a large team. What is the significance of?

You know, even his "junior" whose mutation has not yet reached the first anniversary and whose laboratory has not yet been built has Lao Xia who can help!

While reading the transferred documents, Xiang Kun kept thinking from Mr. Liang's perspective and judging the reasons and purposes of his various actions.

He discovered that some of the information scanned and entered from paper materials had clear dates, and that date was even long before Mr. Liang mutated.

Obviously, these were not recorded by Mr. Liang.

So where did he get it?

Xiang Kun thought of the "Abnormal Biological Research Center" behind "Shenxing Technology".

While he was looking at the document, his phone vibrated, and Lao Xia's reply came, a dazed expression - meaning she had woken up.

Xiang Kun replied: "Alice succeeded, would you like to watch what she sent back with me?"

Lao Xia replied with an OK gesture.

Then Xiang Kun didn't need to worry about it. He knew that after Lao Xia opened the laptop, Alice, who was eager to take credit, would get everything ready immediately.

He continued to browse the new documents transmitted back. After reading a few more simple information on "unknown blood-eating creatures", a document similar to an incident investigation report appeared, which made him sit up straight. The chair even let out a groan.
