What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Chapter 64 Hallucinations

Xiang Kun shook his head, threw the facial tissue into the trash can, and started the statistical work he had to do every time he woke up.

The weight increased slightly, the body temperature dropped slightly, the muscle dimensions of the upper body did not change much, and the thigh circumference increased a little.

Because he seldom does pure strength training now, but more comprehensive training like mountain climbing and mountain sprinting before, focusing on speed, agility, reaction and explosive power, so the growth of strength, body shape and weight will be more coordinated.

The recovery speed of trauma has been accelerated by 8 seconds, and it is still improving steadily. Sensory abilities such as vision, smell, and hearing can also feel a little progress subjectively.

He checked the time, it was 9:17 in the evening, it was not too late, so he changed his clothes and went out.

Xiang Kun walked on the road for a while, constantly making quick judgments on the people passing by the roadside, in order to verify the mutation of his drinking blood this time.

During this blood-drinking period, the main direction of his training is to quickly process and judge sensory information, which is targeted training for the brain.

Judging from the quick judgment of several pedestrians on the road, there has indeed been a significant improvement.

Xiang Kun stopped, took out his mobile phone, called a car, and went to a popular chain coffee shop.

At this time, there should be quite a few people in this coffee shop.

Twenty minutes later, Xiang Kun stood in front of the coffee shop, took out his phone and started counting.

Pushing open the door, he deliberately slowed down his pace towards the ordering counter. It took him 11 seconds to slowly stand behind the ordering line.

And in the process, he has finished counting the preliminary situation of the coffee shop at this time.

The shape of this cafe is close to a rectangle, and the ordering counter is in the middle of the entire cafe, with a better view, and you can directly see the situation of the entire cafe.

In addition to the gate, there is a small door on the left and right sides. The bathroom door is on the left side of the ordering counter. There are 36 tables of different sizes in the cafe. Three waiters are busy inside the ordering counter, and one is outside the ordering counter. The waiter is serving the meal. Now excluding him, there are 43 guests, 16 men and 27 women. Among them are 2 boys who look like 5 or 6 years old, and 1 younger girl. There are people including him in front of the ordering counter. 5 people are in line.

In addition, he also quickly judged the possible occupations of five people within these 11 seconds:

The young man sitting on the third table on the right and typing on a notebook should be an IT practitioner, typing code while browsing a technical website.

The tall woman in business attire who was standing in front of him was an administrator of a company above this building, because he saw the badge she was still holding in her hand.

The three women on the long sofa on the left are all housewives with two children, and they are gossip about a certain female celebrity.

...

Xiang Kun didn't stand behind the order line for long, only 2 people in front of the line finished ordering and paying, and he turned around and walked towards the gate.

From the eyes of others, he seemed impatient to line up and didn't want to wait any longer.

But in fact, Xiang Kun had already completed a quick "observation" of everyone in the entire coffee shop, and there was no need to stay any longer.

The whole process took 1 minute and 52 seconds from the time he entered the coffee shop.

Of course, he did not determine the occupations of all 43 guests, but only 29, and there was no guarantee that they would be correct.

But for Xiang Kun at this time, the important thing was not the judgment result - that was just a preset direction for training.

What matters is the speed of judgment, or more specifically, the pattern and efficiency with which the brain processes sensory information.

Undoubtedly, after this mutation, the speed of Xiang Kun's brain processing and judging sensory information has increased a lot, especially the "multi-thread" processing ability of processing multiple sensory information and observing multiple targets at the same time.

Before the mutation, Xiang Kun could also peel apples while memorizing words, listen to Guo Degang's cross talk while writing a graduation thesis while chewing gum, and even draw circles with his left hand and squares with his right.

These things seem to be dual-purpose or even triple-purpose, but in fact there are only some very simple things that can be done, and most of them are to issue an instruction, and then the body relies on instinct to complete it. For example, when the mind is concentrating on one thing, the body will "Automatically" is cooking, bathing, bathing, eating, etc.

Because of these things, it doesn't take a lot of concentration to do it.

Complicated things that require the brain to focus on calculations and thinking cannot be carried out with multiple threads at the same time. Even if they are barely carried out, the efficiency is very low. More things that are thought to be carried out at the same time are actually the brain doing fast intermittent switching.

For ordinary people, if they want to think and process certain information at the same time, they can only reduce the difficulty through a lot of practice and turn it into an instinctive reaction.

With Xiang Kun's training in the past few days, it must be far from enough.

But Xiang Kun has a blood-drinking mutation, which can directly make the body and brain make adaptive changes.

It seems that some people's computer configuration is relatively low, and it is difficult to play games. They can only find ways to upgrade the driver, optimize the system environment, reset the graphics card settings, or even greatly reduce the game quality, or the conscience of the game manufacturer finds out to optimize the program. .

As for Xiang Kun's mutation, he directly upgraded the configuration from the hardware level according to the needs of the game. If you don't have enough CPU, you can upgrade the CPU. If you can't carry the graphics card, you can upgrade the graphics card...

Now Xiang Kun can already observe the appearance, smell, and sound of two to three targets at the same time, and analyze and judge.

This must be the result of brain mutation and evolution after targeted training.

To be honest, the speed of this evolution far exceeded Xiang Kun's expectations. He originally thought that he would have to go through at least three to four blood-drinking periods of targeted training to reach his current level.

Next, Xiang Kun needed to train his brain to process sensory information. It was no longer suitable for such a semi-enclosed public place, and he needed to increase the difficulty.

Xiang Kun didn't start training right away, but was going home to make a detailed plan for this blood drinking period.

When he got home, when he took out the key to open the door, Xiang Kun couldn't help but frown and looked towards the stairwell. There were four trash cans over there, which were for the households on this floor to throw out household waste.

Before he went out at night, he just threw out the trash.

In the garbage, there were rabbits that were disposed of after drinking blood last night, as well as some odds and ends.

However, Xiang Kun clearly felt that the tissue that he had committed for sixteen hours before, trying to control his movement with his mind, was also lying in the trash can.

In fact, he doesn't need to feel it, he also knows that the paper is there, because he threw it with his own hands, and the trash can must be there before it is taken away by the property cleaning tomorrow morning.

But being able to feel it is a rare thing.

Xiang Kun frowned, thinking about his feeling carefully, and found that he could smell the paper?

But it's not right, there should be no smell on the paper, it should be the smell of oneself, not just the smell of paper.

The smell of the paper was nothing special, it was similar to other paper towels. If he put another paper towel in front of Xiang Kun and asked him to distinguish it carefully, he might be able to distinguish a little difference.

But now that piece of paper was thrown into a garbage bag—a tied garbage bag!

And the garbage bag was thrown in the trash with a pile of other garbage that smelled so bad!

Logically, he shouldn't be able to smell it.

Even if you smell it, you shouldn't notice it.

Xiang Kun found it very strange. Could it be a psychological illusion, because he stared at the torn paper for 16 hours, and felt some kind of "concern" about the torn paper?

After thinking about it, Xiang Kun went to the trash can again and found the trash bag he had discarded when he went out.

Carefully opening the garbage bag, Xiang Kun easily found the crumpled tissue. After all, there was no garbage in his garbage bag, and the garbage related to rabbits was packed by him in multi-layered garbage bags, which were well separated. Didn't let the paper towel get soiled.

He picked up the tissue, put it to his nose and took a deep breath. It smelled of all kinds of garbage. The smell of the tissue itself was very faint, and it was different from the smell he just stood in front of the door.

The smell he smelled in front of the door just now should be the smell in his memory when he was facing the tissue yesterday.

"It looks like a hallucination."

Xiang Kun shook his head, threw the paper towel back into the trash bag, packed it, and threw it back into the trash can.

He felt that this should be a little hallucination caused by his "excessive force" on the tissue yesterday, and it should be fine after a while.

In the future, I can extend this question and ask Xia Libing on WeChat to see what she thinks.

After returning home, Xiang Kun sat in front of the computer and began to make statistics and summaries. The improvement in sensory information processing ability brought about by his blood drinking this time, perfected his "vampire mutation model", and made a plan for the training in the next few days. plan.

When he felt that his body functions were beginning to be suppressed and realized that the sun was rising, Xiang Kun suddenly thought of the tissue, and then he "feeled" the location of the tissue again - the tissue was no longer in their community, but in the community. west.

Xiang Kun was stunned, he suddenly felt that this hallucination might not be a simple "illusion".
