What It’s Like Being a Vampire - Chapter 208

Chapter 7 Set off

Xiang Kun flipped through the pdf version of the dsm-5 Mental Disease Diagnosis and Statistics Manual. Although he basically wrote it down after reading it before, now that he can flip through the comparison, he still reads the original text directly, which helps him think and judge.

But looking along the way, Xiang Kun still couldn’t determine what kind of situation Xia Libing might belong to, because from the past contact with her and the observation of her various performances, most of these symptoms were not consistent.

It’s not that you don’t like to communicate with people, and you are always alone, which is autism. There are many obvious manifestations of different degrees of autism spectrum disorder. It’s not that they don’t “like” communicating with people, but that they “cannot communicate” with people normally.

Just like Sheldon Cooper in The Big Bang Theory, netizens infer that he has Asperger’s syndrome and OCD. Many times, some of his seemingly abrupt words and deeds were not because he deliberately wanted to do this to make people unpleasant, but because he couldn’t understand the true meaning of other people’s expressions and made wrong judgments.

But from Xiang Kun, Xia Libing has no social communication barriers. When chatting or communicating with each other, she can still understand the meaning of other people very well, knowing when others are joking and knowing others’ meanings. Attitude and willingness can also judge the true emotions of others.

In many cases, her seemingly straightforward and concise remarks are actually grasping and will not make people feel uncomfortable or untimely.

Occasionally, I even say some seemingly unintentional cold jokes, and I use emoticons on WeChat.

The feeling is that she is not unable to communicate with people, but just too lazy to communicate with people too much.

This can be seen from Yang Zhen’er who often takes her to meet classmates and friends. If Lao Xia is the kind of person who often destroys the atmosphere, cannot understand the meaning of other people, and has difficulties in communication, Yang Zhen’er will definitely not often Do it.

It can also be seen from Yang Zhener’s saying that Lao Xia never caused anything when she was in school and didn’t need adults to worry about her. She has no obvious verbal and nonverbal social communication skills, concentration, and emotional control since she was a child. defect.

As for other schizophrenia spectrums, neurocognitive disorders, and other mental disorders, there are no consistent symptoms.

In other words, when Lao Xia was hospitalized when she was a child, she had solved the problem and cured her “illness”?

But if this is the case, why did you feel that kind of quasi-emotional rather than emotional, extremely indifferent intellectual feeling before? Why would “emotional injection” objects fail to stimulate Lao Xia’s dreams?

If there is a person who cannot establish the emotions of ordinary people, then the performance is definitely not as simple as not loving to communicate with others and being withdrawn.

You know, people with autism and Asperger’s syndrome generally only have a certain empathy disorder, and they are not without emotions themselves.

Even a large part of people with autism spectrum disorder only have cognitive empathy disorders, and it is difficult to understand the intentions of other people, but their empathy is complete, they have the ability to appreciate other people’s emotions and responses, and they often have strong empathy. The generalization of empathy in other creatures or objects. Their main problem is social barriers.

The generation of human emotions and emotions is very complicated. Except for the limbic system, brainstem network structure, and hypothalamus of the brain, it is also related to endocrine and other related systems. If Lao Xia is really unable to generate and perceive emotions, then she The abnormal performance of the person should be more obvious than that of the autistic person.

While Xiang Kun kept thinking about her various performances since he met Lao Xia, he searched the Internet for information about Lao Xia, including her account on social platforms, using her name and “Lao Xia” as keywords. Search the forums of the schools, majors, and departments where she has read before.

Lao Xia also has Weibo, but there is basically no content on Weibo, which is similar to her WeChat Moments. There are only two forwarded academic news and no valuable content.

But what surprised Xiang Kun was that Lao Xia’s Weibo actually followed his Weibo.

Both of them are basically lying dead on Weibo, and she obviously doesn’t read Weibo much, why would she pay attention to him?

Is it Lao Xia to observe him?

Xiang Kun felt that Lao Xia was not completely emotional unless she was a robot, otherwise it was almost impossible. At least according to his observation, when eating, especially when he eats the dishes that are more suitable for her taste, she can still feel that she should have emotions such as “joy” and “enjoyment”. This is not only It can be seen from her micro expressions and movements, and judgments can also be drawn from her heartbeat, breathing, and smells secreted by her body.

Of course, in comparison, when her mood changes, her various performances are much smaller than those of Tang Baona, Yang Zhener or others.

And when Lao Xia was observing him, there should be a certain emotional change when he encountered a trafficker who suddenly took action.

If you want to give Lao Xia another “emotional injection” item, you can choose the emotional mode of “focus” and “interest”. This kind of information focuses on emotions when judging the character and identity of other people.

Perhaps this can successfully arouse Lao Xia’s corresponding emotions and make her dream.

Or if you find time, you can go back to Erythrina, meet Lao Xia in person, chat face to face, try it out, get a pair of “emotional injection” chopsticks for her to use, observe in real time, directly sense, you should be able to get more Much information.

But anyway, the extremely sensible “emotions” that I had sensed from that character before are very valuable to Xiang Kun.

That kind of “emotions” can not only help him escape the manic feeling in a hungry state, but may also help him better control the “emotional assimilation”, “mental shock” and other abilities, allowing him to influence other people or other creatures. Under the circumstances, oneself should not suffer too much backlash, and be able to grasp the timing of entering and leaving more accurately.

That special “emotion”, just like the special cognitive model of Little Apple, is a brand-new angle beyond his original understanding and limitation of thinking, which can help him better understand the world and his Yourself.

Suddenly a crisp female voice came from the room: “Xiang Kun, Mission 1 has been completed.”

Xiang Kun was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized that “Alice” was “speaking”.

Fortunately, Tang Baona and Yang Zhen’er have already left, otherwise they might think that he was doing something “bad” again.

Xiang Kun walked back to the room and said into the microphone connected to the “Alice” host: “Test voice recognition.”

The words he just said were beating in the text input box on the screen. After a one-second pause, the carriage returns automatically, and then “Alice” responded: “Please start the test.”

Xiang Kun straightened his throat, and then quickly said: “Eating grapes does not spit out radish skins, not eating radishes spitting out banana skins, eating bananas and eating guava, and going to the toilet after eating guava.”

The first few sentences are very accurate, but when it comes to “eating bananas and eating guava”, the text becomes “eating bananas and eating full”, and the next sentence also becomes “going to the toilet after eating bananas”.

This recognition error belongs to the range that Xiang Kun can accept and understand. After all, after changing the specific requirements, only a few hours have passed.

After the correction, I tested it for a while, and felt that it was almost done, and Xiang Kun said again:

“Alice, when the task is completed or other information needs to be notified to me in the future, use a reminder to remind me, do not speak directly. In addition, when talking to me, do not directly call me by my name and call me the’boss’. “Xiang Kun said carefully. He used to think that there is no problem with Alice calling her own name directly, but after she did call her, she felt a little awkward. After all, she is not the real Tang Baona, and she usually assists him with work and help. He communicates while completing some tasks. But it’s weird to call it “master”. After thinking about it, it’s better to be “boss”. After all, she is an “assistant”.

“Okay, boss.”

Alice’s response made Xiang Kun very satisfied, and then he issued a long-term task to Alice: “Find a solution to leave this host, actively optimize survivability, and deal with various reasons such as power outages, hardware damage, etc. The threat posed.”

He doesn’t know how long it will take Alice to complete this task. Anyway, as far as he is concerned, there is no good idea for the time being, so he is worried that the priority of this task is too high. Alice is dedicated to this and does not need to do other tasks. Up.

After arranging the task, Xiang Kun thought about whether to “mouse” Alice to see how far she has “evolved”, so he asked:

“Alice, tell me a joke.”

If it is ai such as Xiaoai and Siri, it should start looking for jokes in the joke library, and then read them out to users.

Xiang Kun also wanted to see if Alice’s “joke” was anything new, such as making adjustments to his preferences?

Xiang Kun sat in front of the computer and waited expectantly for a minute. There was no response. He scratched his head and waited for another five minutes. There was still no response. After scratching his back, there was still no response after fifteen minutes.

“Alice, what are you doing?” Xiang Kun asked.

Alice: “I’m making the’Boss’ Joke Generator’, I’m working on Task 2, I’m improving the voice input system, and I’m working on a long-term task.”

What the **** is “Boss’s Joke Generator”? Xiang Kun looked dumbfounded: “You just tell me a joke… well, forget it, cancel the joke task.”

“Okay, boss.”

Xiang Kun knows that Alice is actually not even a “baby” now, and she hasn’t even developed many “sensory organs” yet, and is still in a stage of learning and growth. But since it is certain that her “growth” model is not wrong, as long as there is enough time, she can naturally “grow” to the appearance Xiang Kun hopes.

On December 12, at 3 o’clock in the afternoon, Xiang Kun boarded a plane to a city in the west.

Earlier, at about one noon, he had just woke up from his deep sleep. After making some preparations, he went to the airport. The ticket was booked a few days ago.

His destination this time was the mountainous area in the uninhabited area of ​​the Qinling Mountains where anchor Xue had disappeared.

After several days of consideration, he still plans to take this trip to explore the area and see if there is another mutant creature.

As for choosing to fly by plane, Xiang Kun has made repeated decisions.

He had taken several trains before, and passed the security gate without any problems.

Obviously, that kind of X-ray security inspection device will not see that there is any problem with him. And that kind of infrared body temperature detector is only available at places of entry and exit or during special periods. Normally, it is not encountered on domestic flights.

His compound bow was also taken down and placed in a newly-purchased box as a sports equipment, which was checked in.

Before drinking blood yesterday, he also made a special trip to the city where Little Apple is, and temporarily entrusted “Golden Shining” to her for support.

In fact, he could have chosen to be fostered by Tang Baona in the same city. To save time and convenience, Tang Baona would definitely not refuse. But Xiang Kun knows that Little Apple likes “Golden Sparkle” very much, and letting her raise her for a week can even be said to be a reward, and it will not cause her too much trouble in a short time. In addition, “Golden Shining” also likes her better. Compared with other people, staying with Little Apple will definitely be happier, and Little Apple can also spend a lot of time with her.

As for “Alice”, before he drank blood yesterday, he still hadn’t found a “sure-proof” solution, but considering the past records of the city and community where he is located, the probability of a one-time power outage for more than 20 hours is really too small. Too small, and his prepaid electricity bills are also sufficient, and there should be no problems.

“Young man, are you going to work or travel?”

While waiting for the plane to take off, the aunt sitting next to Xiang Kun said aloud.

Xiang Kun smiled and said, “Go and play.”

“It’s okay to have fun, we have a lot of fun places, whether it is natural scenic spots or cultural scenic spots, there are so many.”

“Yeah, I wanted to go there a long time ago, but I never had a chance.”

“Oh, my daughter took me to see the “Captain of China” before, but now it’s always a little fuzzy on this plane.”

Xiang Kun smiled: “Auntie, airplanes are actually very safe. According to relevant statistics, the chances of accidents by airplanes are much smaller than those of cars. The movie you mentioned, and the airplane at the end, did not land safely. Huh?”

“That’s right but I still feel a little hairy, but my daughter has booked me a ticket a long time ago, and it is not worth changing the ticket.”

After chatting for a few words, after knowing that this aunt was a local near the destination of his trip, Xiang Kun mentioned the matter of anchor Xue inadvertently.

“I know, those three boys, it’s a pity, they are still so young.” The aunt said with a sigh, “In those places, the old local hunters generally didn’t go there in the early years, and they dared to dive in. It’s so desperate. Alas, you young people just like to watch that kind of adventurous things, all for the sake of being red. If you are red, you will have money. But if you lose your life, what’s the use of being red? Oh, think more about your family, oh…you guys, don’t follow them to explore any risks. Those places are really hard to visit.”

“Don’t worry, Auntie, I’m very timid. At most, I just go to a few national parks to see, how dare I go deep into no man’s land!” Xiang Kun smiled, “By the way, Auntie, they photographed the wild boar. Have you watched the video? Are there really any monsters in the mountains over there?”
