What It’s Like Being a Vampire

v3 Chapter 237: 5 dreams and 1 clue

In addition to Xiang Kun and Tang Baona on Yang Zhen'er's birthday, Tang Baona's sister Bao Ting, "quasi-brother-in-law" Gao Yao will not be absent, and her good friend Qin Ping.

   It is a pity that Lao Xia has to be on duty this New Year's Day.

   Of course, Yang Zhen'er promised Lao Xia that he would send her pictures and videos, and "share" what is delicious for dinner.

Xiang Kun is still working alone in the kitchen. It’s not that Yang Zhen'er and Tang Baona are unwilling to help. They really can’t help at all when they enter the kitchen. Instead, they disrupt his arrangements. Anyway, he can do it alone. This time it was much easier than Christmas Eve.

  While processing the ingredients, Xiang Kun kept sensing the "rabbit woodcarving" and "bones" left deep in the Qinling Mountains.

   Through the emotions he felt, Xiang Kun was certain that there were at least two people around the "Rabbit Wood Carving".

   After perceiving a lot of emotions, Xiang Kun has long discovered that emotions are also characteristic, even if it is the same type of emotion, such as fear, even if the source of fear is the same, the emotions of different people are slightly different. Only by carefully distinguishing and establishing a feature library can the difference be detected.

   Even for people who are more familiar, such as Tang Baona, he can tell from certain emotions whether the owner of the emotion is she.

  From the emotional perception of a thing, it is also possible to judge the personality of the emotional owner to some extent.

Just as Xiang Kun now perceives those two equally shocking emotions through the "rabbit woodcarving", he uses imagining the pictures and scenes in the cave, and then builds a cognitive model to make a judgment. These two have greater psychological endurance. Most ordinary people are strong.

   Although Xiang Kun’s woodcarving skills have improved a lot from the beginning. But in Qinling’s no man’s land, he did not bring the wood carving tools that established the "super-sense connection". The wood made was not very suitable. He could only use metal arrows to chisel hard, thanks to his strength and muscle control ability. It can be considered to be able to chisel out the basic shape.

However, the rough appearance of the rabbit woodcarving looks a bit more weird, primitive and mysterious. In the cave environment, when there are other animal carcasses, the average person will see it, and the mood swings will be greater. .

   Xiang Kun couldn't help but guess whether one of the two people who have come into contact with the wood carving now has a "vampire"? Could it be Lu Chengan, the founder of "Shenxing Technology"?

   However, Xiang Kun thought for a while and temporarily ruled out that possibility. If it is a "vampire", there should be other emotions. Relatively speaking, doubt should account for the majority.

  Because of the area near the cave, Xiang Kun has personally explored most of the places. He has visited most of the places. He has never been to observations at high places. He can build a basic scene map in his mind. Therefore, when positioning through the bones that have established a "super-sensing connection", there is a more accurate judgment of its moving track and distance.

   Judging from the direction in which it moves, after being taken out of the cave, it is going directly out of the Qinling Mountains, which is a tendency to leave.

   Although they don’t know how they found the cliff cave, in theory, finding the cave means that the search has made significant progress. Should we continue to expand the search range?

   Still, they have also realized that the person who left the wood carving was not the mutant creature that killed the wild boar in the first place?

   But if that's the case, they should continue to keep track of the people who left the wood carvings.

   Unless they think, nothing can be traced by staying? How did they come to this judgment?

   Of course, it is also possible that they have two groups of people, one group of people transported back the things in the cave, and a group of people stayed and continued to explore and search.

  While feeling and thinking, Xiang Kun finished the dinner.

   There are still three dishes that use rabbit meat as the main ingredient. Now, too many rabbits are consumed every time they drink blood. Even if they often cook dishes for community security and property, there is still a lot to deal with. Now the weekly "food expenses" are much higher than before he mutated.

   There are also several newly developed dishes, such as sizzling squid, garlic lobster, and two green vegetables, which are not too difficult for him.

   And he is familiar with the tastes of these few people at night, even Qin Ping, after the last observation, probably knows her taste preference.

At the dinner table, Xiang Kun learned that Qin Ping finally chose the offer of "Shenxing Technology", although "Shenxing Technology" seemed to be more of exploring new areas of research and development, while the products of another company To be more mature, for career development, going to the latter is a safer choice. But for Qin Ping, who is less than 30 years old, the offer provided by "Shenxing Technology" is obviously more challenging and more expectant, not to mention the better treatment.

   "When will I start, is the headquarters of "Shenxing Technology" in this city? Where is the research and development site for this power exoskeleton?" Yang Zhener asked curiously.

"This R&D center is located in Yangcheng City, and I will be there in the next year. Alas, I will not be able to eat the delicacies made by Chef Xiang often in the future, Can Nian." Qin Ping said, but she kept her hands. She likes seafood, so she is quite interested in lobsters made by Xiang Kun.

   Yangcheng?

When he mentions this city, Xiang Kun thinks of Guo Tianxiang, but he also knows that "Shenxing Technology" has more than one R&D center, and the research labs related to vampires and mutant creatures are even more likely to be in other directions. The R&D sites are not in one place and are self-contained.

   He also guessed in his heart, where those things transported out of the cave would be sent.

   When the position stopped moving, Xiang Kun said that he had no choice but to run over and observe.

   Of course, you must be careful and careful, do your homework and investigation. Compared with Guo Tianxiang, "Shenxing Technology" is a more difficult and dangerous existence.

Although we don’t know the exact attitudes of "Shenxing Technology" and the people behind it towards other "vampires" and mutant creatures, from the memory fragments of giant owls, mutant spiders, and Guo Tianxiang obtained by Xiang Kun, the mutant creatures At a certain stage, there will be a "rigorous need" for the blood of other mutant creatures, and it is destined to have a very difficult chance of getting along with each other.

After dinner, everyone played Three Kingdoms Kill together. Although Xiang Kun basically knew their identity as soon as everyone got the identity card, he still simulated that he didn’t know the "truth" and played according to the routine. , It made Yang Zhen'er and Tang Baona feel that they had finally discovered a field that Xiang Kun was not so good at.

   When it was almost twelve o'clock, everyone stopped and started cutting cakes and singing birthday songs. Yang Zhener blew candles and made wishes.

   But when everyone was about to leave, Yang Zhener stopped Xiang Kun: "No, I have to take a look at the gift Xiang Carpenter gave me. If it is really a galloping horse and the eight immortals crossing the sea, I will ‘return the goods’!"

Qin Ping couldn’t help laughing: “This is the first time I heard that birthday gifts given by others have to be “returned”. It’s too difficult to be your friend. Hey, please check the gifts I sent. I’m not satisfied, so I can take it back to "return the goods"!"

   Tang Baoting also joked: "Yes, yes, take a look at what we sent. If it doesn't work, I can take it for a ‘return.’"

Yang Zhen'er ignored other people’s joking and hummed, “That’s different. The gift to the carpenter was made by himself. I have been waiting for this woodcarving for three months, so I can’t let him get through. Must be pretentious."

Xiang Kun smiled and said: "Okay, you are the birthday star today, you have the final say, first'inspect', first'inspect'~! If it doesn't work, I'll redo it for you! Everyone is watching, I'm sure I won't be fooling !"

   So Tang Baoting and Qin Ping, who had already walked to the door, also walked back and watched Yang Zhener "open the box".

   They were curious about the cardboard box that had been placed in the corner of the living room before. They didn't know what gift Xiang Kun gave. Now that they have the opportunity to watch it together, they will not miss it.

   After opening the carton, there was a pile of bubble wrap for filling. Yang Zhener first picked up a small wooden box from the upper left under Xiang Kun's guidance.

   The wooden box doesn't look very delicate and has no lacquer, but the corners have been polished, at least there are no wood thorns and no hands, just like the boxes used to send Tang Baona to Tang Baona before.

After opening, inside is a long-haired girl with big palms, holding double swords and wearing armor. Although it is the same as the wooden sculpture that gave Tang Baona as a Christmas gift, it is a cartoonish version of Q version with a big head and a round face, but it is also very easy. Let those familiar with it see that the prototype of this wood carving is Yang Zhener, and the characteristics are very accurate.

Yang Zhener's eyes lit up. The image carved by "Xiang Carpenter" really fits her mind. She often looks like this when she is in the second element image. Of course, it is not a q version but beautiful. The handsome version.

   "This is a Christmas gift for you." Xiang Kun added to the side.

   "Hey? I want to cheekily ask Xiang Kun for a Christmas present." Tang Baoting couldn't help sighing.

   "I want to too." Gao Yao nodded, and whispered in agreement.

Yang Zhen'er happily put the small wooden sculpture back into the box, put it on the table, and put his hand into the cardboard box. With Xiang Kun's help, he unfastened the fixture and put a larger, useless wooden box. Take it out.

After    was taken out, apart from Xiang Kun, the crowd watching the excitement couldn't help but whisper.

The theme of this wood carving is a dinosaur, and on the back of the dinosaur sits the five-person group of Doraemon comics, but Doraemon, Nobita, and Xiao Jing are sitting on the back, while Fat Tiger and Xiaofu are hugging tightly. Holding the tail of the dinosaur.

   "How do you know that my favorite comic is "Draco Cat"?" Yang Zhener asked in a pleasant surprise.

   "Didn't you say it yourself?" Xiang Kun was strange.

   "Did I say?" Yang Zhener was puzzled.

   "Yes." Xiang Kun affirmed. Of course, it was actually inferred from some scenes he had seen before through dreams. In fact, the two wood carvings for Yang Zhen'er really talked about the details of the production, but not very good, because he did not establish a "super-sensual connection" with the material, nor did he "emotional injection". However, after a trick, the two wood carvings made are definitely the shapes that Yang Zhener likes, so she can still put it down and be very satisfied.

   After leaving Tang Baona’s house, Xiang Kun and Qin Ping both drove with Tang Baoting and Gao Yao.

   While in the car, Xiang Kun was chatting with the three of them, but at the same time he was perceiving dreams through the "rabbit wood carving".

   In fact, from less than ten o'clock in the evening, Xiang Kun had already perceived the first dream through the "rabbit woodcarving". Before leaving, he perceived the second one, and soon after getting in the car, he perceives the third one.

From his many previous experiments, it can be known that on the same night, an "emotional injection" object cannot arouse emotions and cause the same person to dream twice, but it can be aroused again after perceiving a dream. And perceive the dream of another person near the object.

After    got home, within two hours, he perceived two dreams one after another, and then he didn’t perceive any new dreams until sunrise.

   In other words, there are at least five people near the "Rabbit Wood Carving".

   As for whether there are only five people in total, it is still uncertain. After all, the scope of "rabbit woodcarving" can affect is limited, maybe outside the scope of influence, there are others.

Xiang Kun summarized the dreams he perceived. Two of the dreams were military-related training. Obviously, the two of them were "professionals" who had undergone this type of training. They appeared in the exploration of the Qinling no man's land. In the team, it is also normal.

   There is a dream scene in a laboratory. The owner of the dream is concentrating on various treatments of "rabbit meat". Obviously, this is a researcher from the Tianpao laboratory. He appears in the team, and he is also normal.

   The other two dreams, one was playing Lego, and the other was feeding ants in a huge transparent ant box. From the painful and complicated gameplay of the former, and the uniquely designed and obviously customized ant box of the latter, it can be seen that the owners of these two dreams are also nerds of science and engineering, and they are probably the same as the one in the laboratory dream. It is a research technician.

This is also the reason why Xiang Kun uses that kind of focused and serious emotions to "emotionally inject" the wood carving of the rabbit. Based on previous experience, when affected by this emotion, the dreams of the affected person are usually related to their profession. Or hobby related.

   This way he can use his dreams to speculate on the opponent's occupation and identity.

   Even if he is lucky and has enough information, he may be able to directly determine the identity of the dream owner, or know what research the institutions and organizations behind them are doing, and what results they have achieved.

   From those two dreams where military-related training was conducted, Xiang Kun could not find out any special information, and the other three dreams were relatively more informative.

   After repeated thinking and calculation, Xiang Kun focused his attention on the dream of feeding the ants.

   Whether it is the ant itself or the large ant box with a special shape, the number should be very small. If it is custom-made, it can even be directly targeted to a person.

   And this kind of niche hobby group, maybe there are only a few small circles in the country~lightnovelpub.net~ play well, it's relatively good, maybe everyone knows it. This kind of technical house also likes to find similar friends through sharing.

Of course, another possibility is not ruled out, that is, the owner of the dreamland really likes ants and pays a lot of attention to relevant information, but it is just "cloud raising ants" and there is no time to raise them. Those ants and the large ant box are all his yy came out. If he is yy enough, serious enough, and focused enough on weekdays, it is possible to dream his yy dream if he is stimulated by the rabbit woodcarving to dream.

However, the probability of that situation is not very high. Xiang Kun still started with ants and ant boxes, checked the ant species map on the Internet, compared the ants seen in the dream, and determined the species, and then posted it on each ant related post. , Communities, forums to search for relevant content.

   In this process, Xiang Kun has always asked Alice to monitor his operations on the computer. Every step he takes, he will tell Alice the purpose and reason for doing so.

   He wants Alice to learn the logic of his query, and Alice learns to take "shortcuts".

At around nine in the morning, Xiang Kun finally saw the ant box on Weibo that was basically the same as in the dream, and then looked at the "From 20" displayed on that Weibo, and contacted a mate20 next to the ant box in the dream. It also increases the possibility of being the same person.

   The Weibo user is not authenticated, and the occupation is not marked, but as long as he finds the Weibo account, Xiang Kun knows that he is not far from finding a specific person.

   By then, whether it is through the bones of the "super-sensing connection" or the ant brother, both can be clues for him to track down.
