What It’s Like Being a Vampire - Chapter 613
In the abandoned underground passage, Mr. Xiang Kun and Mr. Liang are cleaning out a certain “mutant creature”.
Yes, although there seem to be many abnormal creatures, such as lizards, snakes, mice, and the abnormal Chinese boy, in fact, in this underground space, the countless colorful moss and mushrooms are actually the same. The part of “mutant creatures”, whether it is humans, monitor lizards, or mice, are just hosts that are parasitized, controlled, and affected.
Ye Zijun just discovered the moss and mushrooms on his face. He thought that he was hopeless, and even wanted to make Xiaoding rush out alive, but in fact the “infection” of this “mutant creature” was not so strong. Lethality, if they are not killed by the mutant man or the mutant creature, they escape from the ground and stay away from this area. For example, if they return home, the moss will disappear naturally.
The reason why Xiang Kun wanted to help Ye Zijun remove those “infected” parts before she left was to prevent her from over-treatment or being attacked by locals after she went out.
Of course, if they were forced to stay underground, or were “securely infected” and did not leave this area, it would not take long for Jun Zizi, and it would happen completely like that boy, those monitor lizards, mice and other creatures. The mutation becomes a parasitic puppet, controlled and manipulated by it.
Even for the controlled organisms, they themselves are very happy, actively helping the “mutant organisms” find more “blood sources” and “hosts.” However, as a result of doing so, the old host is usually given priority to become the “blood source” to be eliminated and consumed.
Xiang Kun walked slowly in the underground passage, beside him, wherever he went, the moss and mushrooms that had spread out on the wall and seemed to be setting up the “venue place” were quickly falling off or dissipating.
As for the abnormal creatures that crawled out of various horns or potholes around, either they were cleaned up by the first Mr. Liang, or they fled madly, and they did not dare to intercept or harass Xiang Kun.
Obviously, the “mutant creature” showed extreme fear of Xiang Kun.
Xiang Kun also doesn’t pay attention to those things, because he knows that although those moss, mushrooms and the like are part of the body of the “mutated creature”, controlling them or destroying them cannot really affect the “mutated creature”. “Biology” is like pulling out a person’s legs, which hurts him at most, but can’t make him hang up because of it.
Xiang Kun walked to the small door where the Chinese boy tricked Mr. Ye Zi and Xiao Ding to “explore”, and stopped beside Mr. Liang at the door.
Mr. Liang is still in a state of invisibility, but now there is almost no light here, and it makes no difference whether he is invisible or not. Anyway, Xiang Kunshi has multiple perception modes.
“I checked, the parasites on the man’s body have fully erupted, it should be out of help.”
Mr. Liang’s low and hoarse voice sounded, he said and looked deeper into the passage: “We are going to catch it, it should be We must continue to go inside.” Dozens of micro drones have gone deep into it for exploration.
“It’s okay, this thing is hidden deep, but its mobility is very poor. Just hand it to Alice.” Xiang Kun said, opening the bag he was carrying, and then tens of thousands of “super-connected objects” Running out of the various containers in the bag, like alive, scattered and flew toward the depths of the passage.
In addition, the “super-connected objects” that had just been accompanied by Xiang Kun all the way to relieve the “infection” on Ye Zijun’s face, also followed closely, like an organized army. , Marching in the dark.
“That is just throwing pig girl? Earlier appear around you and that girl talking to you is her right? Her name is Alice?” Mr. Liang asked, “She does not seem to ‘eat blood bio’?”
Before In the mountains, when he had just finished drinking blood, he vaguely saw a girl next to Xiang Kun and disappeared, and there was no trace of existence. At that time, Xiang Kun only said that she was a “naughty little guy.”
“She is not a’blood-eating creature’. Her birth is based on my ability system. In the future, when you can feel more special connections from around, you can feel the existence of the’network system’ that I told you , You will naturally know who she is and what ability she has.” Xiang Kun said, still not introducing Alice to Mr. Liang in too much detail.
Because Mr. Liang has already established a connection with the second-level network of “Eight Arms and Eight Eyes Wood Carvings”, Xiang Kun knows that sooner or later he will be able to pass through the “super-connected objects” that is now spreading across various cities and various human settlements. “, feel something. At that time, he will naturally be able to gradually realize what kind of existence Alice, who is omnipresent in the “super-sensing object system” and responsible for the deployment of various “super-connected objects” and “emotional objects” resources, is.
It’s like a person who uses Xiaomi mobile phones, Xiaomi smart homes, and all the devices under the Xiaomi ecology, so sooner or later you have to come into contact with “Xiaoai classmates”.
These words of Xiang Kun made Mr. Liang think about it, and all kinds of conjectures appeared in his mind. He is still a little bit unable to understand how a human being who is not a “blood-eating creature” or a little girl like that can be so fascinating and disappear at any time? And whether it was judged from his own sense organs just now, or from the meaning of Xiangkun’s words, the little girl was not a visual illusion, but a real existence.
In addition, judging from Xiang Kun’s actions, the “magic little steel balls” he carried on his body seemed to have a direct relationship with the little girl “Alice”. Could it be that the body of the “little girl” was the “little steel balls” ?
“Aren’t we going to help?” Mr. Liang couldn’t help asking when he saw Xiang Kun standing still on the spot.
He originally thought that Xiang Kun brought him hurriedly because this “mutated creature” is more difficult and difficult to deal with, but now it seems that it is not like this. Xiang Kun’s appearance is more like Come for a walk and watch the battle.
“No, it will be resolved soon.” Xiang Kun said.
The actual combat effectiveness of the “mutant creature” they are facing now is not strong, but it is not so easy to eliminate or control it, because its “size” is too large and the distribution is too wide. Its “fatal weakness” and “key parts” are not easy.
However, just like when the little turnip was fighting against the underground “mutant creature” on the mountain before, when faced with this “mutated creature” that was “integrated into parts”, there were enough “super-connected things” to do The supporting Alice was just hitting unilaterally.
At the level of “supersensing information”, the “mutant creature” is broken into pieces, hidden parasites, and resurrected by corpses, all of which are transparent, meaningless.
Compared with the “mutant creature”, Alice and her “super-connected army” controlled by the “super-sensing item system” are truly broken into pieces, completely unilaterally crushed.
Of course, if Xiang Kun is willing to spend time, he himself will enter the “super-sensing state”, and slowly control the super-connected objects to be put in, to perceive and explore cognitive information, supplemented by odor tracking and the assistance of thermal imaging visual mode , He can finally find the core of that “mutated creature”. But it takes a lot more time, and since Alice can do it for him, why bother with it.
In less than ten minutes, there was a faint light flashing in the distant passage. Mr. Liang found that all the drones he sent out instantly lost contact, and only a few seconds later reconnected with him. He couldn’t help but look at Xiang Kun next to him. Youyou said, “I found it, let’s go over.”
This time Xiang Kun no longer walked slowly like he did before, but ran straight up in big strides. The passage was completely dark, but it was all for him. The terrain and all obstacles are all delicate, so I run without any worries and the speed is extremely fast.
Mr. Liang naturally followed closely, even without the targeted functional “biological components”, his own athletic ability is also extremely strong.
After Xiang Kun ran in the passage for a while, he turned into a small door next to him, circling around in the narrow and cramped space, and then down an iron ladder to an underground space, Mr. Liang immediately heard There was a smell of something being burnt.
“Turn on the lights.” Xiang Kun in front stopped.
Mr. Liang turned on the lighting equipment he was carrying, and then saw a group of creatures with a diameter of more than two meters, shrouded in front, covered with moss and small mushrooms. There are countless tiny plush tentacles sticking out around the thing, but they seem to be afraid of something and dare not touch the ground.
A large amount of fine dust can be seen floating in the air. Mr. Liang realized that these things have the ability to “infect”. He just wanted to change into filtered air to breathe the “biological components”, and suddenly thought that Xiang Kun was next to him, so he did not take any The action is just a “searchlight” behind Xiang Kun.
“Is this some fungal blood-eating creature swallowing the moss blood-eating creature, or the other way around?” Mr. Liang couldn’t help asking.
“They are a kind of’symbiosis’ state that is not completely integrated.” Xiang Kun said, reached into his bag, took out a handful of green seeds, and threw it directly on the mass.
As the seeds were thrown over, tens of thousands of “super-connected objects” lurking in the dark surroundings instantly pounced on them, enveloping the moss mushrooms that seemed to be moving. It has become an iron ball, and its volume has shrunk a lot.
Obviously, what the “mutant creature” was afraid of just now was the balls.
“Are you going to… use them to plant trees?” Mr. Liang asked in surprise.
He had seen those seeds, and knew that they came from the large number of “crooked neck trees”, weird vines, and all kinds of ordinary-looking, very ordinary “sap plants” in the forest controlled by Xiang Kun.
He knew very well how terrible those plants were. Whether it was the previous “giant bird of prey” or the underground “giant blood-eating creature”, they were easily controlled and held hostage by those plants, and there was no resistance.
He has not figured out whether these plants are a special kind of “blood-eating creatures” or are they part of Xiang Kun, “extensions of his limbs”?
“Your description is very accurate.” Xiang Kun said.
Mr. Liang frowned and asked: “So… it’s not my next blood source?”
“I said, our purpose this time is not’hunting’.” Xiang Kun looked at it constantly deforming, as if there was something. The big ball, who wanted to break through the steel ball barrier, said, “This thing does not look like a big ball, and the movement and manufacturing impact is quite large, but in fact, in terms of the degree of transformation, it is still relatively low-level, far from enough. Your current needs.”
“We rushed over to save the two girls?” Mr. Liang asked.
He checked Xiang Kun’s information and knew that Xiang Kun had a righteous and courageous “complex”. During the period of change, he repeatedly assisted the police in arresting and saving people, and he also received a lot of bonuses. He also did the creation of large-scale illusions in Montamilla, and the purpose was to stop the riots against Chinese tourists.
“There is a part of the reason.” Xiang Kun said, “but it’s not the main reason.” As
he said, he walked over, patted the wrapped iron ball, and said, “This thing is the ultimate The’tool’ used by the Predator to test us. Or rather, the boy and the two girls just now are its’tools’.”
“The…tool of the ultimate predator?” Liang When the husband heard this term, he subconsciously became alert.
Xiang Kun felt his emotional changes and said with a smile: “Don’t worry, it can’t understand our communication now. As I said, it wants to perceive and obtain information, it needs to transform some functional organs and parts, and it needs to pass other organisms. It needs other creatures to help it to make judgments and calculations. That is to say, at this moment, unless you or me have a part transformed by its hidden factors, it has no way of knowing what we are talking about. What.”
“It… deliberately led you over? With those two girls?” What did Mr. Liang understand, “Do you know them?”
“The ultimate predator has been tempting us all the time. During our previous’hunting’, there were many things happening around us. It knows that your degree of transformation is constantly improving, and it may be able to detect We seem to be targeting it, but it doesn’t know exactly what we’re going to do, and it’s afraid of me and doesn’t dare to directly conflict with me. Moreover, the increase in your transformation is what it wants. So it can only use some messy methods. , To try to attract our attention, to test us, and to try to put’ears and eyes’ around us.” Xiang Kun said.
“I’ve been ignoring its temptations before, but this time, I want to do an experiment, so I just come over.” Xiang Kun said, “Save people by the way.”
Ye Zijun was also with “eight-armed eight-eyed woodcarving. “The second-level love object network” establishes people who are linked, so Alice can have real-time perceptual monitoring of her whereabouts and state changes through the “super-sensing object system”.
Regarding the situation she encountered, Alice is clear and can make a certain prediction.
But if Alice wants to rescue them, she can only warn them in advance and find a way to prevent them from being led into the underground passage by the “host”. Because although she can restrain the “moss mushroom”-like “mutant creatures”, the premise is that there are enough “super-connected objects” to support them, and they were not around them or in the underground passage. If given enough time for her, she can use the Internet and the control of the entire social system to arrange and put enough “super-connected things” in the underground passage.
After she informed Xiang Kun of the situation, Xiang Kun decided to come directly to Mr. He Liang to respond to the “ultimate predator” temptation.
The specific factors on the “moss mushroom” have been activated, forming a control system to control and drive their behavior.
The Chinese boy who was parasitized by the “moss mushroom” also had micro-organs formed by specific factors. Even Xiao Ding, before entering the underground passage, the specific factors in his body have been activated, but they have been cleared by Xiang Kun and Alice without any obvious influence and performance, like a hidden in the body. The spy was arrested and killed before he found out the news. When Xiang Kun helped Ye Zijun deal with moss on the face, he was actually helping Xiaoding unknowingly eliminate the special factors in his body and his special body tissues through the surrounding “super-connectors”.
Among all the people, only Ye Zijun was not affected by the “ultimate predator”.
Because of the connection with the “Eight Arms and Eight Eyes Wood Carving” secondary love object network, as long as the place where Ye Zijun is located, Alice can guarantee that the “ultimate hunting” in her The special cognitive information and special factors of the “eater” will not be transformed and activated into substances that can affect her body and consciousness, or form certain micro-organs. Even when necessary, Alice can notify Xiang Kun to remotely help Ye Zijun remove the special factors from her body.
Strictly speaking, other people around Ye Zijun, Alice also has the means to prevent and control special factors, but now her prevention and control are mainly in the country, those who have explained to Xiang Kun, such as Xiang Kun’s parents, Lao Xia, Xiao Around Apple, Tang Baona and others, ensure that they will not be directly affected by the “ultimate predator” and will not be planted with special factors again.
So for other people, unless Alice has explained to Kun, or is in the secondary network of “Affection Objects”, she will not spend too much effort, because her processing and protection ability has an upper limit. Xiang Kun’s previous plan was to infinitely improve Alice’s guarding and monitoring capabilities, in fact paralyzing the “ultimate predator”‘s ability to control the fate of other creatures. However, this method requires a long time and needs to be deployed slowly, and the “ultimate predator” controlled the “mutant bird” to attack the passenger plane, so Xiang Kun changed his plan and prepared to use it more aggressively and quickly. Way to solve the problem.
Seeing all the small steel balls spread out, the moss changed from colorful to a single green, and all the small mushrooms on it and the small tentacles around it disappeared. Mr. Liang said strangely: “This is… Swallowed?”
“It’s not’swallowed’ as you understand it, it should be assimilated.” Xiang Kun said, “The fungus part has been killed, and the moss part has become a branch of the’little radish’. It is no longer in the traditional sense. ‘Mutated creature’ or’blood-eating creature’.”
“Xiao Luo… Bu?” Mr. Liang was a little confused. He felt that in front of Xiang Kun, he was clearly the “predecessor” who had mutated for more than ten years. Obviously he is a “regular army” with academician Shen and other “professionals” who are engaged in research. Obviously he is much larger than Xiang Kun, but why… there is a sense of ignorance that Xiao Mengxin has in front of Gao Wan? The longer he stayed with Xiang Kun, the more he felt that he knew too little.
But this did not bring him any frustration, but more of a sense of novelty and a sense of absurdity.
Seeing that moss seemed to exist in place without change, Xiang Kun knew that outside, in various parts of the world, in the mountains and forests controlled by various “little radishes”, and even in some cities, this new ” “Moss” is growing quietly.
Xiang Kun did not answer Mr. Liang’s doubts about the “little radish”, but leaned down, pinched a small piece of moss, turned around and walked to him and asked:
“Have you ever thought that there is no’Ultimate Predator'” What will the world be like?”
