Chapter 202: You're Xiang Kun, right?
Within a few minutes, Tang Baona and Yang Zhen'er had already taken the elevator up.
Xiang Kun opened the door and welcomed them in, and as soon as they entered the door and saw the situation in the house, Tang Baona and Yang Zhen'er were stunned - the living room was full of multiple computer hosts and peripherals, and various power cords were also intertwined, spread all over the ground, looking quite chaotic, in stark contrast to the empty and refreshing living room before.
"I'm sorry, my room is too small to fit things, so I dragged them all to the living room. During this time, I was busy with this project, so I often forgot to reply to WeChat, and I never received a phone call......" Xiang Kun explained half-truthfully.
"Chef Xiang, you are in this room...... There's no place to eat?" Yang Zhen'er asked in surprise with two bags of breakfast.
Tang Baona looked back at Kun: "You won't be up all night last night, right?"
Xiang Kun immediately felt a little introspective, although during the day, the mania caused by hunger will be much less than at night, but there will still be some effects, when he deliberately controls, strangers may not feel anything abnormal, friends like Tang Baona, who have often been in contact with him recently, but it is still possible to detect changes.
"yes, it's very late. Xiang Kun simply said.
Yang Zhen'er said, put the breakfast she bought on Xiang Kun's computer chair, and said, "Well, then let's put breakfast here, you can quickly finish it and continue to sleep." I wanted to say that the two of us would have breakfast with you at your house, but it looks like there is no place to eat at your house, so Nana and I should take it to the company to eat. ”
"Hey, Minions, Xiang Carpenter, you have so many here, give me one?" Yang Zhen'er, who was about to leave, saw a few Minion wood carvings in the room with the door open, and leaned over to pick up one with great interest and said.
"Okay, I'll give you one, and then the birthday present will be gone. Xiang Kun said.
"That's not good! You Minion is obviously just doing it casually! It's shoddy! It's still prickly! No, you have to get me a saber that's similar to Nana's saber!" Yang Zhen'er hurriedly put the Minion wood carving back.
Tang Baona hurriedly pulled Yang Zhen'er away, for fear of affecting Xiang Kun's rest: "Let's go, go to work." ”
When sending the two out of the house, Xiang Kun said: "I'll sleep for two days and have a good rest, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow should be resumed, and the project has been almost done, so come over for dinner the night after tomorrow?" ”
"Okay, then it's hard to work on the chef!" said Tang Baona and smiled at him as she walked into the elevator.
Yang Zhen'er also hurriedly added: "It can't be less than six...... Well, seven dishes! not including soup!"
Tang Baona smiled: "You can't finish seven dishes!"
"Isn't there still you? you can eat so much...... Oh! The gentleman doesn't move his hands!"
Watching the elevator door close, Xiang Kun shook his head helplessly, the two of them are really funny sometimes.
He didn't leave immediately, but waited for more than ten minutes before going out again, but as soon as he left the gate of the community, he felt that something was wrong.
Although his attention is now focused on suppressing hunger, after going out, he still subconsciously observes his surroundings.
Then he found that outside the commissary diagonally opposite the door of the community, there was a tall and strong man holding a cup of milk tea, drinking it and looking at this side sneakily.
And Xiang Kun noticed that the strong man's expression changed very obviously the moment he saw him come out, this guy was staring at him at the door?
Was he the person who was the private investigator before? He was arrested by the police, or was he punished by something, and he didn't dare to come over and stare at Kun again, so he came over with another person?
However, Xiang Kun quickly denied this judgment, because he could see that this strong man did not have any basic skills or common sense of monitoring and stalking.
And his whole emotional state also made Xiang Kun feel very strange.
So Xiang Kun walked to the commissary, went in and bought a bottle of mineral water from the boss, and then stood at the commissary and took a sip, he noticed that the strong man who was half a head taller than him still couldn't help but keep looking at him, so he also turned around and nodded to him with a smile.
The strong man immediately looked away, pretending not to care about looking to the side, and then lowered his head and took a sip of milk tea, but the milk tea had obviously been drunk, and he sucked too hard, so he made a rustling sound.
"Brother, you look a little raw, did you just move to this community, or did you come here to find someone?" greeted Xiang Kun with a familiar look.
The strong man hesitated for two seconds, and finally turned around and said, "You are Xiang Kun, right?"
"Do you know me?" asked Xiang Kun with a pretended surprised expression, but he was slightly relieved in his heart, judging from this performance, it was obviously not a malicious person.
"I'm Yang Zhen'er's cousin. The strong man introduced himself.
Xiang Kun was stunned for a moment, and instantly made up a multi-line plot in his mind, this is because Yang Zhen'er's family misunderstood what she had to do with her, or heard some rumors, so the family came over to see the situation?
Xiang Kun immediately said: "Ah, hello, hello, Yang Zhen'er, she has just left, yesterday I worked at home until midnight, they called me I didn't receive it, I thought I was sick and hung up, so I stopped by before going to work in the morning to take a look." After a pause, he asked knowingly, "What are you...... Just passing through here?"
"I'm here for you. The strong man's cousin looked at Xiang Kun and said seriously.
Xiang Kun said: "That...... Yang Zhen'er and I are very ordinary friends, and I cook more deliciously, so they often come over to eat together, and occasionally play cards together, Tang Baona, and Tang Baona's sister and brother-in-law often come together. ”
The strong man's cousin shook his head: "There is no misunderstanding, it's not Yang Zhen'er." ”
"Is that ......?" Xiang Kun was confused, but judging from the other party's various body reactions, eyes, and facial micro-expressions, there was indeed no hostility towards him, but his mood seemed to be a little low.
"It's Nana, Tang Baona. The strong man's cousin took a deep breath and said, "I like Tang Baona." After that, he quickly added: "It's just that I like it unilaterally, in fact, we haven't met a few times in total, and she comes to my house with my cousin." ”
Xiang Kun winked, he didn't know how to respond, although he and Tang Baona are indeed ordinary friends now, but they know each other on a blind date, and they can't completely get rid of the relationship. Besides, the other party is Yang Zhen'er's cousin, and it is necessary to explain to him about Yang Zhen'er, but Tang Baona has nothing to do with him.
"What about you...... Is it here?" Xiang Kun couldn't understand Yang Zhen'er's cousin's intentions, if he was a rival in love, he didn't feel any hostility, although this guy was taller and stronger than Xiang Kun, but he didn't show the slightest aggression.
The strong man's cousin also seemed to open the conversation, and said in a low voice: "I'm Nana the year before last...... Tang Baona met my cousin when she came to our house to play, and I fell in love with her at that time. But my cousin told me that she didn't like me like this, she wasn't interested in me, and I thought it was because I was fatter at the time, so I've been losing weight for the past two years. Since she never had a boyfriend, I thought I might have a chance when I lost weight. Who knows...... A few days ago, I heard from someone in their company that she was already in love, and the other party was a person named 'Xiang Kun', and when she was in the company, she said 'you are so handsome' directly to the person on the other end of the phone. Judging by what I've learned of her personality, if she would say something like that in public, I'm sure I don't have any chance, no matter how thin I get......"
Xiang Kun was dumbfounded when he heard it, of course he knew what happened when Tang Baona said "Xiang Kun, you are so handsome" - this sentence was not said by Tang Baona, but at that time, Xiang Kun made a synthesis software made with Tang Baona's voice, and forgot to delete the words of the audition, but when Tang Baona tried it, it was directly released through the speaker of the company's computer.
Because the voice sounded very different from Tang Baona's voice, it caused a misunderstanding among the other people in the office.
It's just that I didn't expect that this misunderstanding has spread farther and farther? Even Yang Zhen'er's cousin knows about it?
The strong man's cousin continued: "So I just want to see what Xiang Kun, who can make Tang Baona say 'you are so handsome', looks like?"
Xiang Kun didn't ask him how he found his community, it shouldn't be too difficult to find out this, he just wondered: "But you're waiting here, what if I don't go out?" During this time, he was first busy with Director Lin and Zhang Qian's project, and then engaged in his own "AI assistance plan", and the number of times he went out was only a handful.
"I've also thought about whether to visit your house directly, but I think it's a bit rude to come to your house like this. Anyway, I'm going to go abroad today, and I'm trying my luck on the way to the airport, and if I can see it, I can see it, and if I can't see it, forget it. The strong man's cousin took out the cigarette case and gave Xiang Kun a cigarette, and after the latter refused, he lit one himself.
"But if you've never seen me before, how did you recognize me just now?" asked Xiang Kun again.
The strong man's cousin tapped his bald head with his hand and said with a smile: "I heard my sister talk about you, saying that you are bald, and you are very strong, and you can do kung fu, she said that you can beat me four of you with one." ”
Xiang Kun laughed: "She's bragging about me." ”
The strong man's cousin smiled: "But in this weather, you go out in shorts and short sleeves, and your face does not change, and you are not afraid of the cold at all. ”
Xiang Kun was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that the temperature was already below 10 °C this morning, and the pedestrians on the road were already wearing thicker coats, and only he went out in shorts and short sleeves.
Xiang Kun knew that if he wasn't affected by hunger, he would have looked at the temperature outside before going out, estimated what other people were wearing, and decided what he was wearing, but today first, his attention was on suppressing hunger, and second, Tang Baona and Yang Zhen'er came over, which also made him distracted again, so there was such a mistake.
"Because I wanted to run in the first place. Xiang Kun casually made up a reason.
The strong man's cousin nodded and said, "Then don't delay your time, you go for a run, don't wait for the cold." I am also relieved to see you today, at least Tang Baona is still the girl with personality and ideas, not the kind of superficial woman who judges whether she is handsome or not by her simple appearance. ”
Looking at the strong man's cousin with a sincere face, Xiang Kunzhen didn't know whether to be happy or angry, and then he suddenly thought that Lao Xia was also Yang Zhen'er's cousin, so he asked, "May I ask what is your relationship with Xia Libing?"
The strong man's cousin was stunned for a moment: "Do you still know my Lao Xia?" and then nodded as if he reacted and said: "Yes, I am sure that Yang Laosan will take her to play together, she is also my sister and cousin." ”
Xiang Kun also nodded: "Lao Xia, Nana, Zhen'er, the four of us often play together." ”
The strong man's cousin laughed: "You can actually play with my old Xia, it's rare, it's too rare." Officially acquaintance, I am Xia Tianhuo. He said as he extinguished the cigarette butt and stretched out his hand to Xiang Kun.
Then the strong man's cousin Xia Tianhuo got on the Rand Cruiser on the side of the road and drove away.
Xiang Kun watched the car disappear at the intersection before turning back to the community to change into normal clothes suitable for this temperature.
Called a private van that had been cooperated with once before to go to the farm, Xiang Kun sat in the car, but he began to be a little anxious, this kind of anxiety is like getting up, usually a normal thing, but now when encountered, it will inexplicably ignite emotions.
In the car, the reason that made Xiang Kun anxious was the conversation of the van driver.
This guy is so talkative, whether Xiang Kun uses a tactful or direct way to ask him to stop talking, it's useless, except that he will stop for the first two minutes, and after two minutes, he will talk endlessly, as if as long as he drives, his mouth can't stop.
When he called this car before, the driver was also very talkative, but Xiang Kun sometimes accosted, sometimes not, and didn't care much, if necessary, he could even take the initiative to ignore the other party's voice and focus his auditory attention on other sounds.
But now, Xiang Kun always felt that the driver's voice was like "sticky", constantly burrowing into his brain, making him can't help but want to tear something apart.
He knew that it was not the driver's problem, it was his own problem, and even if the driver stopped and didn't speak, maybe he would find the engine too noisy.
When Xiang Kun suppressed hunger in the previous experiments, the environment was relatively familiar and controllable, but this was the first time outside, and it was indeed much more difficult to face all kinds of noisy environments around him than at home.
Xiang Kun's hand kept clenching into fists, then let go, and re-gripped, his manic mood always gave him the urge to tear something apart, and he began to listen carefully to the sound of the car's tires and various other sounds outside the car to divert his attention.
Not only is he now worried about the atrocities he will be uncontrollable about, but he is also worried that he will unwittingly use "emotional assimilation" or "mental shock" to affect the driver or others on the surrounding road.
Xiang Kun began to sense the objects that had established an "emotional injection" connection with him, wanting to use other people's emotions to distract himself.
Induction eight-armed eight-eyed wood carving, nothing, because it was placed in his cabinet.
Induction of the brush words of "Out of the Teacher's Table", there is no feedback, it is estimated that the parents are not at home, or have not touched the word.
Sensing the lyrics of "People Like Me", there was no feedback......
Just when Xiang Kun was about to sense the Minions and the three-piece wood carving of Little Apple, his heart suddenly moved, and he re-sensed the lyrics placed in Xia Libing.
Perceiving it carefully, he suddenly realized that the painting was not that he did not perceive the emotions of other people, but that he had not noticed it before.
Xiang Kun carefully experienced this emotion, and then tried to substitute his current situation into it, trying to "transform" that emotion into his own.
Xiang Kun can't describe that emotion concretely, not like enthusiasm, sadness, excitement, fear, curiosity, joy, etc., the emotion from the lyrics is a bit close to the feeling of Little Apple's cognition, which is a kind of nothingness, and a kind of rationality that is close to indifference.
Xiang Kun's gaze fell on the van driver:
He held the steering wheel with his left hand and his right hand on the gear lever, and his mouth was gushing, obviously a little nervous, and he did speak to relieve his nervousness while driving;
This driver seems to weigh about 70KG, and normally there should be close to 5000ml of blood in his body, but only 1/5 of it can be released to drink blood this time;
But I can't do that, and if I do, I'll become a murderer, a monster, and I'll be wanted by the police. Even if he is not caught, he will become the kind of "monster" that Guo Tianxiang despises. I have reason, I can control my desires, I can choose for myself what blood I want to drink and when I want to drink it;
My heart is beating a little faster than usual now, and the cells in my body seem to be "more active" because of hunger, "clamoring" to drink blood. But it doesn't have a direct impact on my physical function, and the biggest impact of hunger is emotional, mental;
The smell in this van...... Yesterday I should have carried beer, fruit, and a pair of shoes, and two pairs of socks, which stink;
The two cars that drove next to it were three-cylinder turbo engines, judging by the sounds they had heard before, they were Geely's cars;
Just ran over a pit, judging from the overall reaction of the chassis, the left rear tire pressure is low, and the suspension of the left front wheel is problematic, and it is estimated that there is an oil leak.
Xiang Kun fell into a strange state, his thoughts were both chaotic and tight.
What he saw, heard, smelled, and thought was completely free, but all kinds of thoughts went completely according to his reason.
He can even detach himself from his emotions to "observe" his emotions and perceive subtle changes in various parts of his body in his agitated state.
This state of extreme sanity, which seemed to be emotional and non-emotional, did not last long, and Xiang Kun lost his perception of the other emotions on the painting, and also departed from the state he tried to transform and substitute.
He could basically guess that this state of "emotion-like" should come from Xia Libing.
But why does it feel this way?
He did not completely transform that emotion into his own emotions, so he did not completely "substitute", he was already in a state of indifference and rationality that he could even "observe" his own original emotions. It is conceivable what Xia Libing's original "mood" will be.
However, after this "accidental" induction, Xiang Kun successfully controlled his anxious emotions, and was no longer affected by the outside world to almost attack.
After buying rabbit blood and going home, Xiang Kun began to time to sleep after drinking the blood.
Regarding Xia Libing and the induction of that character, I have to wait until I wake up to explore.
