What It’s Like Being a Vampire - Chapter 634
Although the young man looked familiar, Lao He didn’t think much about it, because he was pretty sure that he hadn’t met or knew this young man before – he still believed in his memory. Maybe it’s because he looks a little like someone he knows that makes him feel this way. It’s quite normal.
Now Lao He’s attention is still on the exchange with Chu Xiuwen. He can tell from the previous chat: Chu Xiuwen knows that Qihao Congress will invest in Tongshi Town and Chongyun Village in this year. There are reasons for such a big change in time.
Although Lao He knew that Xiang Kun was a “mutant creature” under Mr. Liang’s introduction, he did not have any information on Xiang Kun’s specific mutation characteristics. When investigating and reviewing Xiangkun’s social information, interpersonal relationships, and past resumes, Mr. Congliang and Fang Pingfang’s investigation team left the information in the “Shenxing Technology” database and learned that Xiangkun is related to many special events. , The most famous is Montamira’s phantom of a giant with eight arms and eight eyes.
This naturally aroused Lao He’s great curiosity. Whether in public or in private, he wanted to understand how Xiang Kun created that kind of group illusion and produced that kind of magical follow-up effect. Are the three views of man reversed?
It’s not that he has never come into contact with people who are affected by human “mutant creatures” with hypnotic abilities. The effect of hypnosis should be said to be “blinded” or “confused”. Unless the target dies, he must be sober after all. , And others can more or less see their state and perceptions.
However, Xiang Kun’s group illusion produces an effect, on the contrary, like a kind of “waking up” ability, which evokes people from various obsessions and desires, and directly affects people’s spirit and thoughts from the cognitive level.
At least according to the previous chats between Lao He and Qi Haoguo, the cognitive change of this “General Qi” is systematic, self-consistent, and can be shown to others, not at all like that. A person who is confused and hypnotized without knowing it is a bit like “Great Enlightenment”.
Because of his concerns about the “ultimate predator” and the relevant regulations and restrictions, Lao He did not directly ask Xiang Kun and Lu Qinliang. Now although the technical research restrictions and the danger of knowing brought about by the “Ultimate Predator” have been lifted, he and Xiang Kun and Lu Qinliang are temporarily unable to contact him-Xiang Kun completed the communication with him last time and told “Ultimate There has been no news after the “Predator” was “removed from the threat” by them.
Moreover, the “Non-Research Center” has been mainly responsible for the threats to the country, society and people of “mutant organisms”. It does not directly interfere with the research content in the safety supervision of related research, and he is not very good at talking about these issues.
“Xiao Chu, what do you think of Mr.’s research base? Or, how much do you know about that research base?” Lao He asked.
“That’s not right, Lao He, it’s the other way around. I should ask you this question. Didn’t you go to the research base every day during this period? After the establishment there, I have never been in. You want to ask me How about’Youlong Hotel’, I can tell you to come for a few hours, but I really don’t know anything about the research base and laboratory.” Chu Xiuwen smiled, “but I know that it is Mr. Xiang and The concept of the Internet Intelligent Breeding Research Center that Dr. Xia does is very advanced. Anyway, it is a great thing. It is really done. It must be a great thing for Chongyun Village. Even if it is not done, the infrastructure investment brought to Mr. The village has received a lot of favors. As for the others…not to mention anything else, the house where you and Dr. Fang lived should be placed in the past. How can you rent so much money? No one will even rent it. “
In fact, we are also quite puzzled. I don’t know why Mr. Xiang must choose to be in Chongyun Village. I heard…” When Lao He asked that question, he guessed Chu Xiuwen’s answer and was about to follow him. Assuming to guide the topic, the young man next to him suddenly interrupted and said something.
“This old man, listen to your accent, you are not a local, right?”
Lao He glanced back and confirmed that the young man was talking to himself, and simply replied: “No.” Without saying a word, Make it clear that you don’t want to talk more.
But when Lao He was about to continue the conversation with Chu Xiuwen, the young said again: “Then are you here to travel or come to work?”
Old He frowned slightly, and then looked back at the young man sitting next to him.
The facial features are ordinary, the skin color is dark, but the skeleton is wide, the shoulders are stretched, and he has a very confident feeling in his gestures. He should be a well-educated person who has seen the world. It stands to reason that he would not be so ignorant and rude.
Did he come to this tea shop for a purpose?
Is he coming for me?
He was very alert to think of several possibilities and made some guesses, so he answered the question and said casually, “Young man, do you like tea?”
“I’m fine, but an old man I know is quite good. Those who like to drink tea, so come and bring him some.” The young man laughed.
“Are you here to travel or travel?” Lao He directly “rebounded” the problem again.
The young man didn’t care, and said frankly: “Come to find someone, hehe, but it can be said to be a business trip.”
“Have you found the person you are looking for?”
“Found it.” The young man smiled, “Of course I found it. “While
talking, a girl in her twenties ran to the door of the refreshment point, poked her head in, and said to Chu Xiuwen: “Brother Chu, Brother Huo has something to ask for you, let you go to the store.”
Chu Xiuwen looked at it. , It was the clerk of the milk tea shop opened by him and Xia Tianhuo, so he got up and greeted the tea shop owner, and then said to Lao He: “My friend and I opened a milk tea shop in front. I
’m free, you can go and sit down. Or have a good time to have a meal together.” After Chu Xiuwen left, the tea shop owner received a few WeChat messages, read it, and made a short call. Some embarrassedly said to Lao He and the young man: “I’m sorry for the two guests. There is an old customer on the pedestrian street who needs tea, and my staff just happened to be away. I have to go there in person. Just leave. It’s not far away, I’ll be back in five minutes…”
“Go, let’s show you the shop, madam, don’t worry.” Before Lao He spoke, the young man said with a smile.
The female boss thanked her and hurried out with a bag of tea.
Seeing the graceful back of the female boss disappear, Lao He felt a little strange, becoming more vigilant to the young man next to him, hesitating to get up and leave.
“Come on, try this rock tea. The proprietress said that this rock tea is very good. It costs four to five thousand yuan per catty.” The young man was very relaxed and casual, and got up and sat in the original position of the female boss. , Pick up the boiled water and prepare to brew.
Seeing the young man’s frizzy movements, Lao He finally couldn’t help it. He let him put down the kettle and took over by himself: “Have you never made tea before?” The
young man laughed: “Yes, I have never Haven’t drunk tea.”
“Don’t you have an old man who loves tea? You often spend time with people who love tea. How come you haven’t drunk tea?” He said while making tea.
“Hehe, I actually rarely meet with that old man. The total number of times we have met can be counted with two hands.”
“So, you don’t know you very well?”
“For me, he is the most familiar. Is one of the people.” The young man shook his head, seemed to sigh with some emotion, and then said naturally: “Lao He, you want to explore Kun from Chu Xiuwen? What do you want to know, I I can tell you.”
He was startled when he heard this, he became more alert, and looked at the young man again.
The young man heard the conversation between him and Chu Xiuwen just now, knowing that his name is “Lao He”, and knowing that they are talking about the topic of “Xiang Kun” is normal. Chu Xiuwen is quite famous in Tongshi Town, and it is not difficult to know this name. But what did this young man mean when they were alone in the tea shop?
This young man knows about “mutated creatures” research?
What is his purpose?
“What do you say I want to know?”
“You want to know what abilities Xiang Kun has. You want to know how Xiang Kun creates illusions like giants with eight arms and eight eyes. You want to know how those illusions are produced to people. Affected?”
As soon as the young man said this string of words, the old man was shocked and almost jumped from his seat, staring at him with wide eyes: “Who are you?!”
The number of people who can know this information is very limited. He knows everyone. The identity and appearance of the young man in front of him is obviously not one of them.
The young man shook his head helplessly, picked up a cup of tea made by He, and poured the whole cup of hot tea directly into his mouth. He squinted his eyes for a few seconds, then swallowed it, and slapped his lips: “So this Is it just the taste of tea? It doesn’t feel as good as Coke… Or is it better to drink other teas? Lao He, how does the Longjing tea you often drink compare to this one?”
Lao He froze for two seconds, then carefully Looking at the appearance of the young man in front of him, he said uncertainly: “A…liang?”
“It’s been a long time, Lao He.” The young man smiled and bared his white teeth.
Old He was stunned again, his thinking was still a little confused: “Why are you…you now…your look…your voice…” The
young man raised his right hand, his fingers flicked flexibly, and he saw one. A special layer of metal streamer skin covered with lines spreads quickly from the forearm down, covering the forehand. Then, the hand disappeared, and only his sleeves were shaking, but from the support of the cuffs, the arm was obviously still there.
“Xiang Kun helped me reshape my body. Not only did I have the appearance of a human, the’biological components’ could still be used, and the abilities became more varied and powerful, and even some abilities that I didn’t have before… Doesn’t it feel like a miracle?”
He just understood why he just saw this young man feel a bit familiar. When Mr. Liang was led by Academician Shen to do research, he had seen him several times, and his appearance and facial features are somewhat similar to those of the half-old boy back then.
Mr. Liang said with some emotion: “This is how I would look like 25 years old under normal circumstances if I hadn’t undergone’mutation’. Of course, my actual age is more than 25 years old, but the appearance of middle-aged and old people is better than younger ones. It takes too much time. I can’t wait, so I just use this look. I thought, Ho you can recognize me… Ho you say, the way I am now, when I come home, can my dad recognize me?”
“Of course…” Old He wanted to say, “Of course I can recognize it, but that’s your dad”, but he suddenly thought that after being taken away by Academician Shen, Lu Chengan never saw his son again, although they both Later, there were many contacts, but there were no face-to-face meetings. In contrast, before Lu Qinliang completely abandoned his human form, he was more familiar than Lu Chengan.
“You look back to see what he does not know, I’m sure your dad will be very happy.” He smiled old change the subject said, “Yes, how you’ll be here at this time, to Kun it?”
“I Here.”
A lazy voice sounded not far away, and Lao He was taken aback. He subconsciously looked back, only to see Xiang Kun sitting on a table next to the wall-but there was always his. He didn’t see Xiang Kun entering the shop from beginning to end in his sight range!
Lao He, who had a certain understanding of Mr. Liang’s abilities, immediately realized: Xiang Kun can be invisible!
Xiang Kun smiled at Mr. Liang and said, “Brother Liang, you’re so shameless! You bet me that the old man can recognize you within 10 sentences, but you just revealed my name directly. He didn’t recognize it. In the end, he succeeded with the secret code of’Longjing Tea’, cheating!”
Mr. Liang said with a wry smile: “I thought He had seen me before and could recognize him at a glance. Give up and give up.” Shenxing Technology’s drones and communication transmission technology patents, and your “Qiankun Technology” can be used for commercial use, and the money can be given as a token. “
Just now I don’t know whether the young is an enemy or a friend, and what the intention is. You will see that these two people are joking with him, and their tight hearts relaxed. They poured themselves a cup of hot tea, took a sip and said: “You two will be fine when you come back. We will leave the research and investigation team establishment, project establishment, personnel allocation and training to the two of you. By the way, Mr. Xiang and Miss Xia are very capable, but now we have to re-establish the entire research on’mutant organisms’ The system and related institutions are hosted by her alone, so let’s not be too busy. The technical team behind you, can you send a few more people over, I can all arrange a position in the’non-research center’ for easy connection in the future? “
Xiang Kun knew that Lao Xia’s extremely versatile performance made Lao He sure that there must be a technical team behind her to support her, and he smiled: “It’s okay, she can handle it. Research related matters, or leave it to Xia Libing. As for us… there are other things to consider.” As he
said, Xiang Kun’s expression became serious: “Lao He, have you paid attention to the recent abnormal weather around the world?”
“You mean… Those weather is abnormal, there may be a big problem behind it?” Old He frowned.
Mr. Liang said: “The’Ultimate Predator’ has not been completely killed.”
“But didn’t Xiang Kun say that it has no ability to affect other creatures? That ability and that function have not been cancelled by you. “Are you?” How strange said the old man.
“Yes, he has no way to directly control the life and death of all creatures, but he is ready to break the fish and the net and use another indirect method.” Xiang Kun sighed and paused, then said: “But it doesn’t take too much. I’m worried, I’ll take care of this matter. But this time, I’m afraid it’s going to be a big scene of global attention.”
