What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Chapter 65 A Torn Paper Towel

Xiang Kun closed his eyes and felt the location of the tissue with his heart. The faint smell could give him a very clear direction.

This is very abnormal!

Smell, like sound and light, requires a process of transmission.

Generally speaking, the transmission speed of smell is much slower than that of light and sound.

But smell is easier to attach and persist in nature, which in turn makes it easier to be tracked.

However, if the smell is to be attached and retained, there must be a certain number of odor molecule groups, otherwise, it will not be enough to be perceived by the olfactory organs.

Xiang Kun's sense of smell was much better than that of ordinary people, even better than that of hounds.

But that paper towel is unscented, and the smell is relatively weak, and there are fewer odor molecules that can make the olfactory organs respond. And in the house, there is also the smell of other paper towels that have not been used up, which is easy to interfere.

Generally speaking, even if the paper towel is hidden in his house, it may not be able to track it accurately by smell alone.

And now, the tissue is not only packed into a garbage bag, but also thrown into a garbage can with a very disturbing smell.

According to the time, it should indeed be sent to the garbage truck and transported out of the community by now.

It stands to reason that no matter what, the smell of that paper towel could not have been passed to him along the path.

What's more, generally speaking, unless the smell source is very strong and the tracker is within the linear influence distance of the smell source, it is difficult to track the smell directly and get a clear final location of the smell source directly based on a little smell.

Just like he tracked down the husky lost by Ms. Yang before, he traced the scent attachment points one by one, and then connected them together to estimate the direction.

But now, the smell that belonged to that tissue in his mind could clearly point out its direction, to the point that Xiang Kun thought it was an illusion.

You know, also in that garbage bag, there are garbage with a much stronger smell, such as those rabbits' offal. And those smells did not reach Xiang Kun's mind like that paper towel.

"To make sure?"

Xiang Kun decided to set off now, guided by the smell of the tissue in his mind, to see if he could really find it.

Otherwise, it will be later, when the garbage truck arrives at the garbage treatment plant, although the garbage will not be incinerated immediately, but it will be piled up in the storage pile to ferment, and it will be countless times more difficult to find.

Before going out, Xiang Kun hesitated for a moment, and changed into a rather ragged long-sleeved T-shirt, trousers, and only slippers.

He is ready to rummage through the trash when necessary...

After leaving the community, Xiang Kun called a car with his mobile phone, and asked the driver to follow his instructions.

The guidance given to him by the paper towel is not like ordinary scent tracking, which needs to be traced slowly all the way, but can directly locate its direction and position in his mind.

Under Xiang Kun's command, the car ran all the way, and finally saw the garbage truck waiting for a red light at an intersection more than ten minutes later.

Xiang Kun could clearly sense the smell of that tissue - for him, the current feeling seems to be inappropriate to smell and smell, but more like "perceived".

Looking at the remaining time at the red light, Xiang Kun quickly settled the money with the driver of the car, then got out of the car and strode towards the garbage truck.

Xiang Kun jumped directly onto the pedal on the driver's side of the garbage truck, pressed against the door, and through the half-opened window, said to the garbage truck driver who was startled by him:

"Master! I'm sorry, drive to the side first and stop! I left something very important in the trash bag, let me look for it!"

"Hurry up and get down! It's too dangerous! This is against the regulations..." the driver shouted.

"Please, that thing is very important to me!" Xiang Kun leaned on the side of the car door and begged.

Then he put the more than 80 yuan of cash he had on him on the center console of the car.

There's no way, I don't need cash to go out now, and I haven't had time to get it...

"Master, I only have so much on me, let me look for trash, and I'll use my phone to transfer 200 yuan to buy water for you~"

Seeing that the signal light turned green, the driver had no choice but to drive the car across the intersection first, then pull over and stop.

"We can't take the money, but you can't look for it for too long..." The driver reluctantly agreed to Xiang Kun, and handed over his more than 80 yuan.

"Thank you! Thank you! I'll be ready soon, and I won't delay you for too long!" Xiang Kun said quickly.

In fact, he had already "perceived" the location of the tissue very clearly.

Xiang Kun took a deep breath, held his breath, and jumped into the garbage truck. It took less than a minute to find his garbage bag.

Although it was not opened, the garbage bag looked no different from other garbage bags, but Xiang Kun's clear "perception" of the knot tied at the mouth of the garbage bag and the paper towel made him very sure that he did not take it wrong, so he didn't need to open it to check, just go straight Jumped out of the garbage truck with the garbage bag in hand.

Looking at Xiang Kun, who was smelly and covered in garbage, the driver of the garbage truck and the sanitation workers in the truck looked at him with complicated eyes.

"That thing must be very important to you, be careful next time, don't throw it away..."

Xiang Kun nodded with a smile: "Very important! Thank you very much, thank you very much, I have caused you trouble!"

After watching the garbage truck drive away, Xiang Kun walked back with the garbage bag.

He looks like this, even if he calls an online car-hailing car, he is afraid that they would rather pay a fine than take him.

So he threw away the slippers and ran back home with bare feet.

People on the side of the road saw him and subconsciously stepped aside and kept away, thinking that he was a crazy homeless man.

More than an hour later, after taking a shower, Xiang Kun, who was only wearing a pair of shorts, walked to the living room and sat down, looking at the crumpled tissue on the table.

The changed clothes and other rubbish had already been thrown into the trash can in the corridor by him, leaving only this paper towel.

"There must be a problem."

Since the "perception" of the smell from the paper towel that popped up in his mind did lead him to find the paper towel, it proved that the previous feelings were not hallucinations.

Although he smelled it directly with his nose, the actual smell on that piece of paper was different from the smell that came out of his mind and guided him to find the tissue.

Could it be that the 16 hours of mental training on this tissue did not allow the brain to evolve the ability to control objects with mind, but it has the ability to "never forget" and "track and locate" the tissue?

From last night to now, the smell of this paper towel that he "perceived" in his mind is actually the memory of the smell of this paper towel during the 16 hours last night. The smell has always been the smell of that time. Not the real-time smell of paper towels.

But it is the memory of this smell that can guide him to find this tissue, and can always judge the real-time location of this tissue?

What's the reason for this?

This has completely exceeded Xiang Kun's understanding.

Can't see, hear, smell, have no smell, sound, light and shadow transmission, why can I find it as if I have a guide?

It's like installing a biological GPS on it.

Everything in the universe has electromagnetic waves. Could it be that I can receive, perceive and distinguish the electromagnetic waves radiated by that tissue? But it doesn't make sense, it's too far away, and the electromagnetic waves that the tissue can radiate are too weak.

Is it quantum entanglement? Ultra-distance sensing?

Fuck! I was still hesitating about which subdivision of biology or medicine I should start learning. Would it be necessary to add an additional quantum physics?
