What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Copperstone Town.

Food walking street.

Youlong Hotel-Flagship Store.

Xia Tianhuo was entertaining Zhao Feng and Wang De'an who came from afar in the "VIP" box that You Meng always reserved for Xiang Kun, Tang Baona, and Chu Xiuwen.

Zhao and Wang had originally made an appointment with Xia Tianhuo in June, and they were going to come to Tongshi Town for a "second interview" with him.

But later, I learned temporarily that Ye Zijun, a Chinese tourist who had experienced a large-scale group hallucination incident in Montamila before, returned to China and began to contact those who, like her, had seen the "eight-armed and eight-eyed giant" in Montamila that night. I want to interview the Chinese tourists who have experienced the "Phantom" and make a self-made documentary, and have completed interviews with several witnesses.

Zhao Feng and Wang De'an intuitively felt that Ye Zijun's interview could help them obtain some information that they could not obtain during their own interviews. After all, she, like other Chinese tourists, was an eyewitness, having personally experienced the horrific riot and strange night. Those who survived.

So the two approached Ye Zijun. As a reporter from a certain media, they hoped to follow and interview her in the process of making a documentary and interviewing other people, and could provide her with some assistance, professional advice, and professional equipment.

Ye Zijun was quite excited about this at first and welcomed it very much. After she returned to China and rested for a while, she finally decided to resign and work in self-media because during this period she did several things about Montamira's "Eight Arms" The video of "Eight-eyed Giant" has a lot of clicks on various video platforms, and it has also accumulated a lot of fans for her.

With his good-looking face, relatively fluent expression and logical thinking skills, and the fact that he attracted a lot of attention from the beginning as a witness to the Mentamila incident, Mr. Yezi is doing very well as an up host and making videos.

And this self-made documentary called "The Night of Montamira" was just announced to be produced, and it attracted a lot of attention. Every day, it only showed the highlights of the shooting and the vlog on the road, and it got a lot of clicks. quantity.

But Zhao and Wang followed her to several cities and interviewed a few people who had experienced the hallucination incident of the Montamira group, but she felt something was wrong. She also had contact with some media people before, and she knew The behavior style of a media person, this time I have to make a self-produced program, and I have done a lot of homework, but Zhao and Wang, she feels that they don't have the style of a media person at all.

Then she quietly checked the information of the two reporters, and found that although the media had the information of the two reporters, and their identities were confirmed by phone and email, she did not find them in the media. They even have one article or one report.

Ye Zijun had doubts in his heart.

The more you pay attention to the various behaviors of the two, the more you pay attention, the more weird you feel.

Both Zhao Feng and Wang Dean were police officers, so they were naturally keenly aware of the change in her attitude, so before she made a specific statement, they took the initiative to ask for other interviews, said goodbye to her, and gave her I arranged for people from the company to connect and expressed their willingness to provide her with sponsorship, as long as it can be placed in an appropriate place when it is released later. Of course, the advertising fee will also be charged separately.

After bidding farewell to Mr. Ye Zi, Zhao and Wang originally planned to go to Tongshi Town, but they got the news that they had entered IU twice. They thought that old man Du, who was running out of time, was getting better day by day. , and now I can even walk around the ward corridor with my walker.

So the two of them rushed to the hospital where Old Man Du was staying, and saw Old Man Du whose mental state was completely different from the last time they saw him.

It's really hard for them to understand? Why is it that before they left last time? Old man Du was almost dying, and he entered IU, and the critical illness notice was issued? How long has it been? Are you walking with a walker?

But no matter how they talked to Old Man Du this time, Old Man Du ignored them, only looked at them, and then showed an "unfathomable" smile.

They went to ask the doctor, and the doctor was also confused about this? Before they left last time? The doctor's judgment is that they can't be saved. Even if they are saved, they are basically counting the days. They are just doing their best anyway. Someone will take care of the medical expenses, and they will do their best to help you.

Unexpectedly, how many times did he repeat it? Even the heartbeat stopped, and after stepping on the door of hell for many times, suddenly the situation turned, and the old man Du's physical condition began to forcibly reverse.

According to the doctor, the old man's disease is actually still there, and his body is still "ridden with holes" in essence, which is equivalent to a car with serious problems in engine, gearbox and chassis suspension. In theory, there are serious problems at any time. He might have to lie down, but somehow he kept driving and continued to drive without stopping.

The same is true of old man Du's body, which has fallen into a weird balance. It seems reasonable to hang up immediately, but on the surface, he looks like a normal person, he can eat, drink, sleep, and even stand up. Got up and took a walk.

As for the specific reason, the doctor was also very curious. They even formed a team of experts to study that this was not requested by the old man Du's godson. Other experts also participated.

However, the specific results will not come out for a while, and the old man Du doesn't know whether he has a brain problem or is intentional. Or he is very cooperative in taking medicine, but he just doesn't speak, just smiles so inscrutablely from time to time, if he doesn't know his details, he really has a taste of immortality.

With huge question marks, Zhao Feng and Wang De'an left the hospital and headed to Tongshi Town.

It was really better when they arrived at Tongshi Town at around five o'clock in the afternoon. Xia Tianhuo directly arranged to meet at the "Youlong Hotel" and took the two of them to try the "Internet celebrity dishes" that are currently very representative of Tongshi. Mode".

"This hotel seems to be quite famous, right? I've seen the name of this hotel on various social media during this period. They spend a lot of money on marketing, right?" Wang De'an looked out the window and was already queuing downstairs. The team at the table said with a smile. Most of the people waiting in line didn't seem anxious. Many of them were taking selfies with their cameras or mobile phones, or even doing live broadcasts. It was like a check-in point for Internet celebrities.

Zhao Feng was also surprised and said: "I have been to Tongshi Town before, but I have never heard of any 'Tongshi Famous Dishes' or 'Legendary Taste'. Is this so-called 'Tongshi Rabbit Meat' a marketing product?"

Xia Tianhuo smiled and shook his head and said, "You will know after you eat it later. If I hadn't taken advantage of my two younger sisters, I wouldn't have been able to get this private room."

Zhao Feng also changed the subject and said: "Mr. Now?"

Xia Tianhuo said: "I am now ready to live here for a long time in Tongshi Town. I have opened some restaurants in partnership with a few local friends. There is a milk tea shop on the pedestrian street here that I opened. I will try it later. After dinner, I will take you to try it and see how it tastes."

Wang De'an asked curiously: "Mr. Xia, your family's company's business...is it because of the incident in Myanmar?"

Xia Tianhuo shook his head and said: "That's not entirely true. The main thing is that living here is very comfortable, with food, climate, and friends. Haha, stay happy. Hey, you guys also want to stay a few more days this time, stay a few more days You will understand.”

Wang De'an and Zhao Feng looked at each other, both slightly confused.

Xia Tianhuo saw their expressions in his eyes, but remained calm. Naturally, he took the initiative to mention his kidnapping in Myanmar, and then went to their follow-up interview with the only remaining kidnapper in Myanmar. And talk about Montamira's group hallucination incident.

Zhao and Wang also admitted frankly that they also suspected that there was a connection between the "sea monster" that the kidnapper saw and the "eight-armed and eight-eyed giant vision" that appeared in Menta Mira. This was originally the connection they had made before. Xia Tianhuo took the initiative to reveal information.

They also talked about some information they had interviewed in Menta Mira, and then used this as an excuse to further question Xia Tianhuo, focusing on his emotional changes in the cabin at that time.

Their questions seemed natural, but Xia Tianhuo instantly realized that these two people must know something deeper. At least they knew very well what the core and most critical influence of the eight-armed and eight-eyed illusion was. These two people are definitely not simply trying to make news.

When Xia Tianhuo was doing business in the past, he was very accustomed to making judgments based on the questions and the way the customers asked questions. He knew whether the customer was an expert, how deep his understanding of the industry was, and how sincere he was.

This method can be applied to the present, and it can also be used to make a rough judgment on the intentions of Zhao and Wang and the information they have.

In fact, during a previous interview in Myanmar, Xia Tianhuo suspected that these two people were not serious reporters or media people, but more like working for the government.

The reason why he agreed to the other party to come to Tongshi Town to interview him again this time was actually because he wanted to get information from the other party in reverse.

Looking at it now, his previous judgment was not wrong, and these two people did have some information.

So he calmed down and began to carefully recall and describe the process of his kidnapping, the process in the cabin, and his emotional changes.

Of course, at this time, he was not like pouring out all the information in front of Lao Xia, Yang Laosan, and Xiang Kun. Instead, he deliberately picked up a part and described it in the direction of fear and fear, and then observed Looking at the expressions of the two people.

When Zhao Feng and Wang De'an interrogated prisoners, they had extensive experience in fighting wits and exposing lies, so they were keenly aware that there seemed to be some problems with Xia Tianhuo's description and his strange attitude. They seemed to be very cooperative, but In fact, there is also a certain attitude in the coordination.

Fortunately, the food arrived at this time, allowing Zhao and Wang to reassess the current situation while eating.

"Eh? This tastes... really good!" After Zhao Feng tasted a piece of braised rabbit meat, he widened his eyes and exclaimed. This was not an act, but a real reaction.

After Wang De'an tasted it, he was also a little surprised. Now he could understand why this store was so popular. The taste was okay.

"I'm right, right? Come and eat more. I'm sure you'll love it more and more. Come on, try this broth. It's delicious. By the way, how spicy is it? If it's not spicy enough. , I can ask them to adjust it, the spiciness here is mainly to adapt to our local taste in Tongshi." Xia Tianhuo said with a sense of ownership.

Zhao Feng smiled and said: "Mr. Xia, you really think of yourself as a man of bronze and stone."

"Haha, if you live there for a while, you will also want to think of yourself as a bronze stone man." Xia Tianhuo laughed.

So they used food to change the topic, and the two parties readjusted their strategies and continued the previous topic.

"By the way, I saw a few news stories with high attention on social media in Myanmar today, which are also related to the illusion of a giant with eight arms and eight eyes. Oh, now some Burmese people call it the 'eight-eyed giant illusion'. It is said that the God of Eight Eyes and Eight Arms is a god in charge of fear, life and death, and came to the world to punish evil. It is said that the night before yesterday, the "Eight Eyes and Eight Arms God" appeared on the southern seaside of Myanmar, and directly "sent punishment" A gang of smuggling, smuggling, and drug trafficking, including a bunch of Burmese official bosses who protected them, were all caught in one pot." Zhao Feng said, and took out the news with his mobile phone to make Xia Tianhuo look.

"Really or not? Could it be that someone is using this name to get involved?" Xia Tianhuo said casually.

"It is said that the 'Eight Eyes and Eight Arms God' first sent his advance general 'Sea God' to investigate. After collecting many grievances and finding out many crimes, the God descended in person, arousing the fear in the hearts of those sinners, and making They killed each other and atone for themselves. Among the official bosses who protected the criminal gangs, two of them were dragged to the street by the young men of those gangs and sentenced to death by hanging. There was also a senior one who was frightened. He took the initiative to go to the province and surrendered. The Sea King is also very legendary. It is said that he first transformed into a human to test the criminals and give them a chance to reflect. But instead of reflecting, they killed him, so he was reborn in the sea and came back. Revenge." Zhao Feng smiled while introducing one of the widely circulated theories he saw. While observing Xia Tianhuo's expression, he asked: "Mr. Are the same statements like this nonsense?"

Xia Tianhuo narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and said with a serious expression: "It's hard to say."

"So, Mr. Xia believes that statement?"

"Feudal superstition is unacceptable..."

"Haha, Mr. Xia really loves to joke. Does Mr. Xia think that the kidnappers got into chaos and killed each other on the boat? Or is there a sea monster like the kidnapper said?"

Xia Tianhuo said: "Even if there are sea monsters, they are killing each other. Don't the traces on the ship and all the evidence speak for themselves? Except for those on the ship, no one else was involved."

"What if it's not 'people'? What if the way of participation...is not physical?" Wang De'an asked immediately.
