What It’s Like Being a Vampire - Chapter 653
Did they know that Xiang Kun went to the South Pole?
Tang Baona’s eyes were round, and she didn’t know how to answer for a while.
Tang Baoting smiled and said, “Nana, do you remember the eight-arm and eight-eyed wood carving that Xiang Kun did before?”
Tang Baona reacted. When Xiang Kun made the eight-arm and eight-eyed wood carving for her grandfather, her sister Baoting and brother-in-law Gao Haruka has seen it and even played with it.
Not to mention grandfather and second uncle, second uncle took the wood carving to find a master to do it, but the master sent someone back and said “can’t do it”, so she found out. Some temper.
But looking back now, the so-called “master” seems to be really nonsense. The dreams of the second uncle and grandpa are not without reason. Xiang Kun’s eight-armed and eight-eyed wood carving is really capable of inspiring fear.
When the eight-armed and eight-eyed giant phantom appeared in Montamira, my sister and second uncle had asked some questions, but at that time she didn’t think that Montamira’s eight-armed and eight-eyed phantom was true and Xiang Kun. Regarding this, Yang Zhener raised this conjecture and was refuted by her, so she did not respond to the euphemistic inquiry of her second uncle and sister.
After the “Antarctic Crisis”, the phantom of a giant with eight arms and eight eyes appeared all over the world at the same time, and it was directly related to the Pacific Superstorm that resolved the “Antarctic Crisis.” They stopped asking about related things.
Originally, she thought that the family’s suspicion of Xiang Kun and the wood carving had been dispelled, but she did not expect that after three years, her second uncle suddenly spoke and told Xiang Kun’s true whereabouts.
So, they always know the truth, but just endure it without asking?
Seeing Nana still having beautiful big eyes and an expression of “what are you talking about, I don’t understand acridine”, grandfather Mr. Feng also said:
”Nana, we know the solution of the’Antarctic crisis’, and Xiang Xiang Kun is related.”
”Ah, grandfather and second uncle, do you all know?” Tang Baona really relaxed when she heard this, because there was no need to worry about saying anything wrong to “leak secret”.
The second uncle Feng Xiuye laughed and said: “At the beginning I thought that wood carving was a bit magical. Later, the’master’ named Du was arrested by the police and said it was a scam. I thought I really thought about it too much. Xiang Kun is very guilty.”
Tang Baona smiled embarrassedly: “I didn’t know it then.”
Feng Xiuye continued: “Later on the news about Montamira, I saw the interviewer. Tourists said they saw the feeling of the eight-armed and eight-eyed giant, and I knew… the nightmare I had at the time was not a coincidence, it must be related to wood carving. Since the wood carving was made by Xiang Kun, it means that the eight-armed eight-eyed giant …It should also be related to Xiang Kun.”
Tang Baoting smiled: “At that time, my second uncle also secretly asked me if there was anything unusual about Xiang Kunping, such as whether he would be absent for a period of time. He suspected that Xiang Kun might have an official The background, there is no record in the resume, the kind that ordinary people can’t find. Otherwise, why did the woodcarving come to the hands of the master, and the master was put in the pot by the police. Xiang Kun was not in Shenhai at that time, Did you go to Haixi? The second uncle suspected that Montamira’s business was Xiang Kun’s official mission…”
Tang Baona couldn’t stop laughing before she stopped and said, “Second uncle, you Naodong and Laosan Yang are really in the same direction, hahahaha.”
Feng Xiuye said helplessly: “I was actually not sure at that time, but suddenly I had such an idea, so I just asked Xia Tingting in private. I didn’t dare to tell the old man.”
”But I didn’t expect that my second uncle really got it right this time.” Tang Baoting said.
”Oh? How did you know you got it right?” Tang Baona asked strangely. She heard Lao Xia and Alice talk about something, and knew that Xiang Kun and “Shen Xing Technology”, Mr. Liang, and Lao He were on the line. It was in Montami. Many months after the incident, he was probably not an official person before that. He went to Montamira mainly to save Lao Xia’s cousin Xia Tianhuo, but he just happened to be in a riot, so he used “Eight Arms and Eight Eyes”. The fear projection of “woodcarving” subsided.
”Of course it is because of the’Antarctic crisis’ three years ago.” Feng Xiuye said, “Now it is basically believed that our country is secretly leading the settlement of the’Antarctic crisis’. Your grandpa knows some news. We officially did it in advance. Knowing that there will be an’Antarctic crisis’, and knowing the specific time that it will be resolved. It is also true that a person caused a lightning storm on the beach and then took off by electricity. We analyzed this information and found that Xiang Kun is probably that person. Even if it’s not him, it must have something to do with him.”
Mr. Feng also said: “I’ve heard you say before, Yang Zhen’er’s cousin, the cousin who has been playing with you, surnamed Xia. Little girl, I have quit my job in the hospital and have been in charge of a breeding research base in Haixi Province? I heard some news that the research base now brings together many important scientific researchers, and it may be one that can determine the future direction of the world. Locally, this sentence is the original word that an old friend I trust very much told me.”
”Nana,’Shenxing Technology’ and your’Qiankun Technology’, have also been assisting the official in secret research? “Feng Xiuye said, paused, and added: “Of course, if there are secrets involved, you won’t answer.”
”Well…I can only say that Grandpa is really well informed.” Tang Baona was somewhat Said helplessly.
In fact, she also knows that because Xiang Kun, Mr. Liang, and Lao He set up a strategy at the beginning, it is to appropriately reveal the truth about the relief of the “Antarctic crisis” so that some people in other countries in the world can know who is the world’s The rescuer, who has the right to speak in the “post-Antarctic crisis era”.
So in China, regarding “mutant creatures”, “Antarctic crisis”, about the phantom of the eight-armed eight-eyed giant, about “Qiankun Technology”, the research base of Chongyun Village, and Xiangkun, in a small scale, for high-level officials, involving For researchers in related fields, it can be said to be an open secret.
It’s not surprising that the grandfather’s contacts can know some relevant information, plus the fact that he knows the “eight-armed eight-eyed wood carving”, combined to derive a judgment that is close to the truth.
However, it was precisely because he felt that Xiang Kun was going to the Antarctic and saving the world, so grandpa, uncle, sister, brother-in-law did not ask his mother about Xiang Kun’s whereabouts.
Tang Baoting had been observing her sister’s expression, and suddenly asked, “Nana, Xiang Kun…Isn’t she already sacrificed?”
Tang Baona was startled and surprised: “Sister, why do you say that?” She noticed her sister asked. While saying this, Gao Yao, two uncles, and grandpa all looked at her at the same time. Obviously, they had discussed this question in private.
”Your brother-in-law analyzed it!” Tang Baoting immediately sold his teammates.
Gao Yao had to say, “I’m just a little skeptical…because the’Antarctic crisis’ was lifted by the super lightning storm that formed in the Pacific Ocean, our country did not send people to Antarctica the first time, and it also did not establish a research base for landing in Antarctica. Not active, and the various national scientific expeditions and investigation teams that landed in Antarctica, apart from huge footprints, did not have any other substantive discoveries. Xiang Kun has never come back…”
Tang Baona said strangely: “But I am not with you. You said that Zhener, Lao Xia, and other people in the company often talk to Xiang Kun on the phone. Is Xiang Kun still participating in the company’s decision-making? By the way, sister, on New Year’s Day last year, Xiang Kun When talking to Brother Bin and Zicheng on the phone, they still used the speakerphone. You were there, did you hear it?”
Gao Yao said, “That’s weird. Now that we know Xiang Kun three years ago Not on a business trip to Europe, but to Antarctica. Then how could he be able to call back often? If he could call back often, it stands to reason that he should be able to come back. So I doubt, Xiang Kun’s voice It may be that your company synthesizes fakes through AI. After all, in the “Sound Genesis” game three years ago, you already have voice NPCs that make it difficult to distinguish whether it is a player or an AI.”
As he said, Gao Yao was a little embarrassed and said: “I’m just guessing, but I’m not sure, and there is no actual evidence. And your sister didn’t finish me, what I said was… I think Xiang Kun might be injured or even sacrificed. The probability of sacrifice is still very small. I think maybe he was injured in the’Antarctic Crisis’, and then where he recovered from the injury, it is not convenient to come back, or he has actually come back, but it is not convenient to talk to his parents or When other people meet, they can only use the excuse of a business trip to drag them first.”
Tang Baona was stunned. Although there are many details of the “guess” of her brother-in-law, from the results, it is really not too far apart-Xiang Kun now Although it is not a “sacrifice” or a “recovery”, it is indeed “inconvenient to come back” and can only be dragged with the excuse of a business trip.
Tang Baoting, who had been paying attention to the changes in her sister’s expression, misunderstood her expression, reached out and patted her on the shoulder, and said with a heavy tone: “Nana, I
’m sorry .” Tang Baona couldn’t laugh or cry: “Sorry for a woolen thread! Sister, Don’t talk nonsense, Xiang Kun is alive and well!”
She said, she suddenly thought of a prank, took out her mobile phone and said, “If you don’t believe me, I will call Xiang Kun and let him tell you! “
So she dialed Xiang Kun’s number and pressed the speakerphone again.
After ringing seven or eight times, the phone was picked up, and it turned out to be Xiang Kun’s voice: “Hey, Nana?”
”Are you busy now, my sister and my grandpa want to chat with you.” Tang Baonaren Said with a serious smile.
”Huh? Talk to me?” Xiang Kun’s voice sounded a little surprised.
Tang Baoting quickly asked: “Xiang Kun! Where are you?”
”Ah, sister Tingting? I’m on a business trip in Europe.”
”Where is Europe specifically!”
”Before in Sassnitz, now in Hirtshals, You may not have heard of this place…”
Tang Baoting suddenly asked an irrelevant question: “When Gao Yao and I went to your house for the first time, what kind of dishes did you cook?”
Xiang Kun’s voice was a little hesitant and confused: “It’s been a long time, I Where do you remember? Sister Tingting, what are you asking for?”
Tang Baoting urged: “It’s impossible to remember nothing , just say one!”
”I remember there is dry pot of rabbit meat, you and the old man Gao Du likes that dish, what else is coming… No, sister Tingting, what are you asking about this?”
Tang Baona said with a smile: “My sister and my brother-in-law suspect that you are an AI-simulated voice.”
”Huh?” Xiang Kun’s voice laughed: “Why do you think I am an AI analog voice? Does Tingting think that you and Lao San Yang have killed me in order to usurp control of the company, and quietly buried me somewhere, and then Use AI voice instead?”
”Take your head!” Tang Baona smiled, her hand quietly pinched her thigh under the table to prevent herself from laughing and not stopping.
”Xiang Kun, when are you coming back? I want to talk to you about wood carving again. The sparrow wood carving you gave me before is very good. Are there any new works?” Mr. Feng said with a smile.
”Ms. Feng, I’ve been too busy outside recently. I don’t have time to make woodcarvings. I will visit you with Nana when I go back.”
”Xiang Kun, those eight-armed and eight-eyed giants that appeared all over the world three years ago, and you What does the eight-arm and eight-eyed woodcarving have to do?” Feng Xiuye continued to ask.
”Well…I can’t say that it doesn’t matter, but how many of them are related, may not be convenient to say on the phone, wait until I come back?” Xiang Kun hesitated.
Tang Baoting asked, “Xiang Kun, are you really in Europe?”
”Yes, of course, or where can I be, in the South Pole?” Xiang Kun’s voice laughed.
”
Why is that …” “Hirtshals, in Denmark.”
”Then if I have some time with Nana, I will find you to play!”
”Yes, this place is suitable for traveling, but when you come, I may not be here anymore. I have to go back later. Norway, then go to Sweden, and then to Finland.”
”Xiang Kun, what are you doing on business in Europe, can you tell me? If it’s about market development, you shouldn’t go there for so long, right?” Gao Asked remotely.
”I can only say that it is related to Lao Xia’s research, and I can’t say too much about it.” Xiang Kun’s voice hesitated.
After the phone was connected, Tang Baona basically didn’t speak much. She kept watching her sister, brother-in-law, uncle, and grandfather, who were communicating with “Xiang Kun” through the phone, observing their expressions, perceiving their emotional melody, and judging them. What is the state of communication with “Xiang Kun”.
After clarifying that her sister and brother-in-law had all regarded Xiangkun’s voice in the phone as real Xiangkun, Tang Baona couldn’t help stealing pleasure in her heart, and she felt like a successful prank.
This “Xiang Kun” voice was of course simulated by Alice, but Tang Baona was confident that her sister would definitely not be able to tell.
You know, she tested Alice’s “simulation Xiangkun” with Laosan Yang, Little Apple, and Little Bell before. Only in terms of voice communication, they can’t tell anyone who is so familiar, let alone Bao Ting. , Gao Yao and them.
Moreover, Tang Baona and the others still tested beforehand when they knew that Alice was performing the simulation, and they couldn’t find any loopholes. Alice knew all the details of their interactions. Even if it was something that happened before Alice was integrated into the “super-sensing object system” and was not remembered by her, she can directly “guess” based on the on-site reactions and conversations of several people, as well as various information details in the past* *Not far from ten.
Except for Xiang’s mother, who is judged by “blood intuition”, most people can’t tell whether Xiangkun is true or not by communicating through voice alone.

However, at this time, the matter of talking on the phone with “Xiang Kun” should not be let Xiang’s mother know, otherwise Xiang Kun’s “charge” of deliberately not answering his mother’s phone will be taken seriously.
After talking with “Xiang Kun”, Tang Baona put the phone away and couldn’t help but ask Gao Yao: “How about it, brother-in-law, is this voice imitated by AI? Is it fake Xiangkun?”
Gao Yao instinctively shook her head “This is definitely not AI… But after talking to Xiang Kun, I am a little convinced that he is now in Europe. Did he go to Europe to perform a mission after
solving the’Antarctic crisis’?” Tang Baoting said, “I I found out that we had been chatting with Xiang Kun for a long time. It seemed that the conversation was very enthusiastic, but in fact, we didn’t get any answers. After the call, I seemed to be more confused.”
Mr. Feng smiled: “Forget it, anyway, we know that Xiang Kun It’s her own person, a big hero, doing big things, just do it. Ha ha, as for him and Nana’s affairs, the young people should decide on their own.”
After chatting for a while at her grandfather’s house, Tang Baona talked to her sister and brother-in-law. The car left.
She got off the car at the gate of her community and said goodbye to her sister and brother-in-law. After watching their car drove away, Tang Baona did not go home immediately. Instead, she took out her mobile phone and asked directly: “Alice, my sister and their previous doubts , Do you know?”
Alice’s voice rang from the phone: “Of course I do!~”
”Then why didn’t you notify me?” Tang Baona asked strangely.
”Sister Nana, didn’t you say that you don’t need to report the information of your family in detail, and only tell you when they are in danger or trouble?” Alice said.
Tang Baona was speechless for a while, because she was indeed telling Alice to say this.
For a while, she asked Alice to report some other people’s information about her content and opinions about her, so Alice became particularly gossip during that time, not only sister, brother-in-law, father, mother, grandfather, uncle On the side of aunt, grandpa and grandma, as long as they talk about things related to her in private, or even just mention her name, Alice will take the recording to report and sometimes make virtual images vividly. “Restore the scene”.
At first she thought it was quite interesting, but after a long time, if she knew everything, she realized that something was wrong, even if those people were her relatives, and they talked about things related to her. There was still some infringement, so Alice’s comprehensive gossip monitoring behavior was stopped, so that she could only report when it involved the safety of her relatives.
”Well… next time this kind of problem that might attack me suddenly and make me frantic, you should report it to me in advance.” Tang Baona said helplessly.
”But you are not in a hurry!” Alice proudly said, “I did it! Sister Nana, you can easily deal with it! There is a problem with the hemp!”
Tang Baona was speechless again, but it’s a pity that “Baby Alice” is not by her side now. , Otherwise she really wants to rub Alice’s chubby face.
”Alice.” Tang Baona turned around and walked into the community, suddenly couldn’t help asking: “When will Xiang Kun be back?”
”I don’t know.” Alice’s tone also became a little low, “Boss this time The degree of evolution is greater than expected, and I don’t know when he will be able to complete it.”
Tang Baona stopped in front of the flower garden in the community, looked up at the clear night sky and a little bit of starlight, and couldn’t help but think of what her mother said during the meal. , And then remembered the first time she and Xiang Kun met, with some emotion.
When I saw Xiang Kun at the coffee shop, I never thought that after more than a year, she would save the world with this bald head.
But now, her way of thinking about issues and seeing the world is completely different.
Work, play games, watch fan dramas, record music, post videos, look forward to the future love life, indulge in the virtual world of the second dimension-the original life state and way of thinking, most of them have now been subverted.
Because of today’s reality, there are a lot of things that I didn’t even dare to think like before.
Even the understanding of life has undergone earth-shaking changes-Alice has told her very positively that she can live forever now.
