What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Although this sudden sound was very strange, it cheered Joel up.

He heard the sound coming from above, and the other party should be on the tree, so he raised his hand to touch the trunk of the tree, used his hands and feet to climb up, and soon climbed to the top.

"Where are you? Come out! Come out!"

But after climbing the tree, he found that he had no idea how to find the source of the sound. Now his sight and smell were blocked. The thick fog and the smell of barbecue made it impossible for him to rely on his own senses to determine the location of the target.

He needs the other party to continue to speak out so that he can continue to lock in his position by relying on students.

"Are you looking for me?" The little girl's voice sounded from under the tree this time.

"Ah! -" Joel ignored everything and jumped down from the tree in the direction of the sound source that he first reacted to.

He threw himself forward and fell heavily to the ground, screaming in pain.

In fact, given the height he had just climbed, if he jumped down directly with his feet on the ground, based on his body function and athletic ability, nothing would happen if he took advantage of the situation to unload his strength.

But he chose a "hungry tiger pounces on food" fighting posture - of course, this is not a hard ground, and his strength and recovery ability are far stronger than ordinary people, so it only hurt for a while.

After all, he was anxious.

For Joel now, under the influence of the bloodthirsty impulse at the stage limit, he is close to losing his mind.

He now wished that a powerful and terrifying "blood clan" or "blood beast" would appear. Even if he was hung up, beaten and torn into pieces, it would be better than the torture he was experiencing now.

He already felt that his body, his muscles, and even his consciousness were starting to become a little out of control.

If there is no more qualified "blood source", then he will not be too far away from disintegrating and dissipating.

He hoped that the guy who tormented him, tortured him behind the scenes, and led him to Chongyun Mountain, the little girl in the white dress, could show up directly, tell him when and how he was hypnotized, and then have an honest relationship with him. Fight brightly.

Although he knew that his chances of winning were slim, he could still die in peace.

He didn't even want to use his strongest hypnosis and mental interference abilities. Of course, he thought that the other party should be stronger than him in this aspect.

But the little girl in the white dress obviously didn't intend to fulfill his wish. After making two mocking noises, she "disappeared" again.

After Joel recovered, he got up from the ground and cursed the little girl in the white dress crazily. After cursing for a while, he whined in pain again and kept begging. He even directly said that he was willing to donate his own flesh and blood, just to get "understanding". .

But the surroundings were still quiet, with only the seemingly endless thick fog and the smell of barbecue coming from nowhere.

In Joel's mind, he has already determined that the little girl in the white dress is the mastermind behind the scenes, but he still can't figure out what kind of existence she is, and why he can't sense it through various tried-and-tested sensory methods. other side?

In his mind, the little girl in the white dress was like an evil and powerful devil.

Moreover, this devil seems to be more at home in this mountain forest than he is, as if he can control everything. Even the parasitic plant "prosthetic limbs" formed from the "prosthetic tissue fluid" he had arranged along the way were eaten up by unknown things, leaving not a single one left.

The words "I heard you are called 'Lord of the Forest'" just now seemed to be sarcastic and mocking him.

Wait, she knows her title of "Lord of the Forest", so maybe that means John fell into their hands?

Joel suddenly felt a glimmer of hope. John, who was much weaker than him, could get two opportunities for stage transformation, so his "cultivation value" must be much greater than John's!

Perhaps the current torture was just to make him surrender. If he is willing to surrender and be "trained", maybe he can be like John? It was even possible that John was handed over to him in order to help him pass the stage limit.

He suddenly regained a little confidence and reason, because he suddenly thought that the other party had spent so much effort to lead him to the Chongyun Mountains, and he would not let him suffer the stage limit in vain, and directly Disintegrate and dissipate.

Whether you want to "cultivate" him or use him as a "blood source" to cultivate John, you will not let him disintegrate and dissipate - because his greatest value is the "blood of the vampire clan".

Naturally, he didn't know that the reason why Alice spoke out just now was because she observed Joel's behavior according to the cognitive model established by Xiang Kun and judged that he had fallen into despair.

In order to prevent Joel from being so desperate that he "committed suicide" and ruined Xiang Kun's "observation plan", Alice took the initiative to wander around and divert his attention.

At this moment, Alice is still explaining to Xiang Kun passionately what happened when Joel just flew out of the tree and jumped into the street. If Joel hears what he thinks is the "devil", he will use the tone of a kindergarten child and use the words Xiangchu. He talked endlessly about the situation in the forest with his Tianjin accent, and his brain might shut down and think everything was an illusion.

When Alice was explaining happily, she suddenly stopped, and Xiang Kun also looked to the side - Lao Xia's eyes were narrowed, and his head was gradually falling into a semi-sleep state.

It is indeed too late. After a while, the sun will come out. During the period when Joel entered the country, Lao Xia also stayed up late with him, so he was already a little sleep deprived.

Xiang Kun pushed her gently and said, "Just leave it to me and Alice. You go to bed first. I'll let you know the results tomorrow."

Xia Libing rubbed her eyes and didn't say much. She knew that the "overall situation has been decided" now. As for the analysis of supersensory information, she couldn't participate yet. There was really no need to stay up all night together, so she got up and went out. Went to the room and went upstairs to sleep together in Little Apple's room.

A few days ago, Tang Baona and Yang Zhener had gone to Pengcheng City. Their "Qiankun Technology" and "Tengjiao Interactive Entertainment" had a new cooperation project. Xiang Kun couldn't leave, so naturally Mr. Tang and Mr. Yang could only run. One trip.

Xia Tianhuo, on the other hand, has a partnership business with Chu Xiuwen, Liu Caifu, and Zicheng in Tongshi Town. They have also been living in the town during this time, and it seems that they are planning to buy a house in Tongshi Town.

So after Xiang Kun and Lao Xia came to the yard, they naturally couldn't let Little Apple stay in the newly rented house there by herself. Even though she was accompanied by Egg Yolk Pie and Jin Shining, she wouldn't be in any danger. , but they still let her come here to rest. Anyway, she would sleep in the same room as Lao Xia here.

After judging that Lao Xia was asleep upstairs through sensory information such as breathing and heartbeat, Xiang Kun turned his attention to Joel in Chongyun Mountain.

Alice "sensible" turned down the volume of the speaker. Although the tone was still the same, the volume was much lower. She knew that the volume made no difference to Xiang Kun.

Alice picked up the sound through Joel's mobile phone and played Joel's voice directly into the speaker. This "old vampire" actually solemnly expressed his loyalty to Alice - of course, he did not know Alice's name. , he used the title "Noble Lady in White Dress", and then explained in detail his several stages of transformation process, the "blood clan", "blood descendants", "blood beasts" and "blood plants" that he had devoured, And he carefully explained the abilities derived from his own mutation, and then expressed his willingness to surrender and allegiance to the "noble lady in white dress", to become her permanent slave, and even to sacrifice his life and blood, even if he wanted to become John's "blood source" ", and he had absolutely no objection.

His tone was sincere and humble. According to Alice's explanation, he even said these words while kneeling on the ground with his forehead touching.

Xiang Kun was a little surprised at first, but he soon understood his thoughts and his brain circuit, and he could understand...

Xiang Kun looked at the time and said to Alice, "It's almost dawn."

"Understood!" Alice responded in a clear voice.

Therefore, the old vampire who knelt on the ground in Chongyun Mountain with a posture of "I Joel is willing to surrender" did not wait for the "noble lady in white dress" to appear in response, but instead waited for a thicker fog, and even more The smell of barbecue, and the sudden sharp sound like metal rubbing against each other.

The all-round sensory intrusion immediately intensified Joel's bloodthirsty mania, but what made him collapse even more was that this reaction seemed to be that the other party rejected what he considered to be an extremely humble surrender.

Joel shouted several times angrily, and the harsh sound of metal friction made him extremely manic. He knew that he had no time. Even if he could rush out of Chongyun Mountain now, it would be too late to find a qualified "blood source."

He lay on the ground, spit out his straw-like mouthparts again, and a large amount of "prosthetic tissue fluid" flowed out.

He is using this to judge his placement. Although his vision, hearing, and smell are now greatly disturbed, and all the "prosthetic limbs" arranged in advance have been eradicated, he can still use his own way to perceive those "prosthetic limbs" and The location where the “prosthetic tissue fluid” disappears.

Relying on this method, even if he can't see, hear or smell, he can still find his way into the mountain.

He has decided that no matter what, he will leave Chongyun Mountain first, and after arriving in the city, he will grab a few people and drink their blood happily, so that he can feel refreshed before they disintegrate.

Maybe the mastermind behind the scenes can be forced out and he can fight to the death.

After groping forward in the thick fog for a while, something suddenly hit his chest and fell to the ground.

He was startled, hesitated, groped and leaned down to pick up the thing, and found that it was a piece of grilled chicken wing?

He put it to his nose and took a deep sniff. The smell... was the aroma of barbecue in the thick fog.

But in the next moment, the grilled chicken wings suddenly disappeared in his hand. Joel was startled and felt a little dazed for a moment - was it just a hallucination?

The real touch and smell of grilled chicken wings made him doubt his sensory judgment and mental clarity.

Could it be that the fog, this smell, and this sound in front of me are just illusions and have never appeared?

Joel shook his head, suppressed his manic bloodthirsty impulse, and prepared to move forward, but found that he could no longer tell the direction after being interrupted just now.

So Joel could only lie down again, opened his mouth, and was about to spit it out. Suddenly an object appeared and blocked his mouth. He was so frightened that he jumped up from the ground and rolled back.

Joel was startled and recalled what had just blocked his mouth. It seemed to be a piece of meat? Or a piece of meat with a crispy skin?

The sharp sound of metal friction in the ears suddenly disappeared, and then the crisp little girl's singing voice sounded: "Let's learn to meow together, meow, meow, meow..."

Joel was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that the sound came from his mobile phone. But when he took out his mobile phone, he found that the screen of his mobile phone could not be awakened. At the same time, the sound source suddenly amplified from the mobile phone. The weapon became behind him.

When he turned around, the voice changed to his right, and then to his left.

The source of the sound was erratic, like a ghost.

A song that is obviously cute, but to Joel's ears, it sounds like a demonic sound from hell.

He grabbed his hair hard, then covered his ears, and even had the urge to pluck out his eyes.

Suddenly, a bud grew on the back of his hand.

The small buds firmly tore open his skin and struggled to grow outwards. However, no blood flowed out from the torn area. The skin and buds were tightly combined, as if they were one body.

Hallucination?

Just when Joel was a little confused, he felt his nose was a little itchy. He touched it and found that two very thin vines were protruding from his nostrils and growing outward.

He was startled, and reached out to grab the vine to pull it off, but when he pulled it, he felt a pain that penetrated his brain, and he almost fainted from the pain.

That vine actually seemed to be connected to his brain?

He also discovered that his nails had turned black at some point and were growing longer, while his bones began to deform.

Joel gradually lost control of his body. Things were growing in his ears and mouth, and then burrowed into the soil, as if to connect him to the earth.

In his mind, he recalled some words that the "righteous blood clan" who was more senior than him said to him when he first entered "Red Rose".

There was a lot of talk at that time, but what the "old-timer" said was specious and very vague, and he was very confused when he heard it. Finally, the "old-timer" told him that when the possibility of breaking through the stage limit was very slim, "pure blood internal circulation" and dedicating his blood to all members was the best destination.

At this moment, he suddenly understood many things that he had not understood at the beginning. He knew that his time had come and the disintegration caused by the stage limit was irreversible.

The feeling in the body is not only pain, but also a clear feeling that all muscles, all organs, and even all cells are defecting, engaged in civil war, and mutating themselves.

This is an overwhelming despair and fear.

In the process, he suddenly remembered the first human being he killed and drank blood, then the second, and the third...

One face after another appeared in his mind. He once thought that he had forgotten these people. It was like for ordinary people, no matter how good their memory was, it was impossible to remember where they bought every apple they had eaten. What are the characteristics, size, taste, where does each fish and chicken come from, and what is the process from killing to eating. To him, ordinary humans are just "food" and "snacks" that can satisfy their short-term appetites and needs, and he has never taken them to heart.

Only now did he realize that those memories had always been in his mind and had never been forgotten.

Those desperate faces on the verge of death, those people he tortured out of spite until they begged to die, those old people, middle-aged men, women, children...

He suddenly felt their pain, their despair.

It turns out...are we all the same in the face of death?

The mist suddenly dispersed, and Joel saw the rising sun that had just risen from the east, spreading its soft sunlight through the branches and leaves of the forest, creating mottled and wonderful patterns on the ground.

Its daybreak?

This sunshine should be real, right?

Yes, it's definitely true.

Joel has never felt so real. He suddenly remembered his experience before becoming a vampire. Was these long years all an illusion?

Not far away, a little girl wearing a white princess dress and black leather shoes was looking at him with her head tilted against the sun.

He still couldn't feel any characteristics of "vampire", "blood descendant" or "blood beast" from the little girl. The ability to appear and disappear, the magic of blending illusion and reality, was beyond his ability to understand.

He suddenly had a glimmer of understanding.

Looking at the little girl, he struggled to open his mouth: ...me...

But in fact, because a tree root-like plant branch penetrated his mouth, he was unable to make any sound at all.

When the rising sun finally shone on his face, his consciousness began to dissipate, and his body also collapsed.

Ashes to ashes.

Earth returns to earth.
