What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Chapter V Investigation

In terms of body shape, apart from becoming bald, with better skin and whiter teeth, Xiang Kun's body fat ratio has also dropped significantly, and his lower abdomen has become much smaller. The most direct manifestation is the belt Need to buckle one more box in.

However, his weight has not dropped significantly. When the company organized a physical examination at the beginning of this year, his weight was 86KG, but now it is 84KG. It can be said that there is almost no fluctuation. What's more, from the 11th to the present, it has been almost five days since I haven't eaten seriously.

From a subjective point of view, Xiang Kun also obviously felt that his legs and feet seemed to be stronger, and he could feel it when walking, climbing stairs, and lifting things.

Thinking of this, he lay down on the ground and started to do push-ups.

After graduating from university, Xiang Kun devoted himself to work and lacked exercise. Not only did he gain a lot of weight, but his strength also dropped a lot. During the Chinese New Year, he went back to his hometown to play cards with some old classmates. After losing, he did standard push-ups, and he could only do 14 push-ups at a time.

But now, Xiang Kun's standard push-ups had been done thirty times and he was still able to do it with ease. He didn't feel the weakness of his shoulders and triceps until he did fifty-eight push-ups, and he couldn't maintain the standard posture after fifty-eight push-ups.

Of course, fifty-eight standard push-ups may be very easy for those who exercise regularly. But for Xiang Kun, who weighed nearly 170 kilograms and hadn't exercised much for many years, from fourteen strokes during the Chinese New Year to fifty-eight strokes now, the improvement can be described as a leap.

Xiang Kun returned to the computer, recorded this set of data in the document, and then recorded the photos and other body data, numbering them with dates.

Then Xiang Kun did a few more sets of push-ups, including abdominal crunches and squats, which could be done indoors.

In addition to the single limit is much higher than before, the overall muscle endurance is also several grades stronger.

In the past, after doing 14 standard push-ups at one time, you can do 13 push-ups after a 1-minute rest, and then rest for 2 or 3 minutes, and you can only do 11 or 2 push-ups.

But now, after Xiang Kun has done fifty-eight push-ups, he can rest for one minute and then do another fifty-eight push-ups. In the eighth group, it only became 52 times, and the muscles showed obvious lack of strength and soreness.

So far, most of the physical changes X has brought to Xiang Kun are good, beneficial, and beneficial.

But the problem that kept him unable to let go was the problem of eating.

From July 11 to the present, although I slept most of the time, I exercised a lot when I woke up. I just did a lot of high-intensity manual exercises, but I still didn’t feel any hunger. After a period of time After the rest, the fatigue is quickly eliminated, and the muscle strength is almost restored.

He is very sure that his body is not undernourished or lacking in energy. The current state is not purely psychological.

But really just relying on that little chicken blood can provide so much energy?

There has been a huge mutation in my stomach, so that I can take in enough energy for so many days from such a little chicken blood?

At six o'clock in the evening, Xiang Kun went out to the food stall where he "borrowed his sorrows with alcohol" on July 11th.

He found that when he came out to act after the sun went down, he seemed to be more energetic and excited, as if the moon on that day would give him an inexplicable drive.

When he arrived at the food stall, Xiang Kun ordered the same wine and dishes as that day. He poured himself a glass of wine, didn't drink or eat the food, and just sat there, pretending to play with his mobile phone, while observing the surroundings from the corner of his eye.

He was recalling the situation at that time, recalling whether any unusual things happened, recalling whether there was anything unusual about the wine and food he drank at that time.

After sitting until almost eight o'clock, Xiang Kun got up and walked to the owner of the food stall. After paying the bill, he told him that he came to drink alone last Thursday night, and his mobile phone seemed to be left here. He wanted to ask if he could check the surveillance ——He had previously discovered that a surveillance probe had been installed above the cashier counter.

Because Xiang Kun was a customer who just made a purchase, the boss didn't talk nonsense and asked a guy to take him to watch the surveillance.

Their surveillance video will be kept for a week. If Xiang Kun comes a few days later, it will probably be gone.

Turning to the night of July 11th, when Xiang Kun came to drink, according to the surveillance video, he was drinking alone from the beginning to the end. Except for the waiters who came to serve the food and drinks, no one else approached him.

At around 8:30, he got up to pay the bill, then called Didi, and the car came two minutes later, and got on the car immediately.

Nothing unusual happens.

After watching the surveillance video and leaving the food stall, Xiang Kun didn't call for a car and chose to run home directly.

The food stall is actually very close to his home. If it takes more than five minutes by car, it will not take long if you walk, but he deliberately took a long detour and ran a few more kilometers.

Under the moonlight, Xiang Kun had the feeling that he was running faster and faster, and his physical energy seemed to never run out, so he accelerated, running at a speed like a 100-meter sprint, which attracted the attention of passers-by.

Of course, his physical strength is not exhausted. After running at this speed for two minutes, he felt a little short of breath and had to stop.

After returning home, Xiang Kun took a shower, drank a bottle of mineral water, sat in front of the computer, recorded the "investigation results" of his trip in a document named "X Reason Investigation 1: Food Stall", and Put the surveillance video copied from the food stall into the same folder.

At night, Xiang Kun still couldn't sleep, so he simply took the time to make a crawler script, which automatically grabbed information that matched his "disease" description from the search results of search engines and several target social platforms, and eliminated obvious movies, TV series, Literary and artistic works and their related descriptions. Although the speed of grabbing is very slow, it is much better than determining the efficiency one by one by himself.

Then every half hour, I will get up and do half an hour of exercise, such as push-ups, squats, abdominal curls, hip bridges, planks, etc., in the room to do unarmed exercises that will not make any noise.

And I deliberately increased the difficulty for myself, such as various wide and narrow push-ups, weight-bearing squats, horse stances, some basic yoga movements found on the Internet, and even tried to do Russian push-ups-but the attempt failed. , which proves that his current physical strength and coordination improvement is still limited.

He wanted to see how far his body's energy consumption could last, and when he would feel hungry again. It was still hard for him to believe that he could bear such a long energy consumption with just the little chicken blood he drank yesterday.

But the strange thing is that no matter how tired he is after a one-time exercise, after resting for at most 20 minutes, the muscle fatigue can be almost recovered, and he will not feel hunger or weakened strength, as if he can rest for a while. "Charging from the air" is average.

This kind of cycle didn't feel a little tired until the morning, but he vaguely felt that it wasn't caused by his exercise one after another, but had something to do with "dawn".
