Chapter 3 analyzes the current situation

Xiang Kun rubbed the skin on his face and arms vigorously, and soon the hardened dead skin was rubbed off, revealing the new, smooth skin inside.

He grabbed his hair, and it was like sticking to his head, and he grabbed it with a lot of it.

After taking a shower and rubbing his whole body, Xiang Kun stood in front of the mirror again, and saw a much younger self, except for the bald head that looked a little awkward, and a mouth that had not yet grown teeth, which looked a little weird.

After putting the dead and even a little stinky chicken into a garbage bag and packing a few layers, and briefly cleaning up the chicken feathers and chicken blood in the house, Xiang Kun sat down on the only chair in the room and began to think about the series of things that happened to him.

There is no doubt that it all started with a drunken Thursday night, and when I woke up, my body began to have abnormalities.

He has no appetite for normal food, and vomits when he eats it, but he has an inexplicable hunger and thirst for animal blood, and even buys a live chicken and comes back to cut his neck and drink blood.

Although he remembered the process of buying chickens, killing chickens, and drinking blood clearly, at that time he had a feeling that he was driven by his body's instincts and hunger and could not help himself.

And now, after drinking chicken blood and sleeping for another day, his skin has shed a layer of skin, his hair has fallen out, and all his teeth have fallen out and begun to grow again, and when he has just taken a bath, he finds that the nails of his hands and feet have also peeled off, and a thin layer of new nails has opened inside.

Unless it was all a hallucination, it was obviously not caused by a hangover, a fire, a lack of sleep, or something he had heard of or seen.

The bridges in the various novels, film and television works I have read in the past flashed in my mind, and then freezed into three words:

Bloodsucker.

If someone had told Xiang Kun before last Thursday that he would become a vampire, he would have thought that this person was either crazy or a liar.

But at this moment, for these changes that have occurred in his body and his previous experience, he is thinking about these three words uncontrollably.

I opened my notebook and looked up my symptoms with a search engine, and as expected, I didn't get any "scientific" explanation, the so-called pica, rabies and porphyria are very different from his symptoms, at least not why he regrows his teeth and molts all over his body.

AS A PROGRAMMER, USING GOOGLE WITH VPN IS NATURALLY A BASIC OPERATION, BUT ON THE INTERNET IN ENGLISH, HE ALSO ONLY FOUND A BUNCH OF LEGENDS THAT LOOK UNRELIABLE, AND NONE OF THEM COMPLETELY MATCH HIS SYMPTOMS.

What now?

Go to the doctor?

Having a hospital equipment check and a professional diagnosis will definitely help him understand his physical condition.

But what did I say to the doctor, saying that after a hangover, I suddenly couldn't eat normally, what to eat and vomit, but I liked to drink chicken blood, and after drinking, I fell asleep, woke up with a new layer of skin, a batch of teeth, and my hair fell out?

Suppose you have a disease, then you can't find any related cases on the Internet, which can only mean:

One, he was the first person to get this disease;

Second, past cases have been deliberately concealed and not made public.

In either case, if Xiang Kun seeks medical treatment, it is very likely that he will become the target of key surveillance, and even lose his freedom "protectively".

At that time, he may not have to think about medical expenses or anything, but the first goal of the hospital or other institutions may not be to save his life and cure him, but the disease he has acquired.

Therefore, after careful consideration, he decided not to go to the hospital for the time being until his "condition" deteriorated beyond his control, and even his life was endangered.

Of course, this is risky, and if it is really a life-threatening disease, he is likely to miss the best time for treatment.

Xiang Kun created a new WORD document in his notebook, then put on his glasses and prepared to type, but he suddenly felt a little dizzy, and the picture on the screen became slightly distorted.

Taking off his glasses, the situation was immediately resolved, Xiang Kun realized something, opened the curtains a little, looked at the words on the billboard in the distance, and found that several advertising slogans that he couldn't see without glasses before could now be seen directly with the naked eye. Although it is obvious that he is still a little short-sighted, his vision is much better than before.

After having dental and skin conditions, Xiang Kun immediately realized that this was also one of the "diseases".

Licking his teeth with his tongue, Xiang Kun went to the bathroom to look in the mirror, and found that from waking up at more than 4 o'clock to nearly 6 o'clock now, in more than an hour, the teeth have grown significantly, at this rate, maybe it won't take until tomorrow morning, the teeth will grow into their original shape, and the previous decay has also recovered.

Xiang Kun sat back down in front of the computer and typed on the document:

Suppose the factor responsible for all the changes in the body is X.

1. Possible reasons for the occurrence of X:

1. There was a problem with the wine or food at the food stall on the night of July 11;

2. Genetic diseases that occur after being stimulated by the outside world, such as alcohol;

3. Infection with viruses or bacteria in other ways, such as being bitten by some bugs;

4. After returning home drunk and falling asleep, something happened that he didn't know;

5. Miscellaneous.

Second, the physical changes caused by X:

1. The whole body is molted, the new skin is healthier and more delicate, and the previous scars have disappeared, the teeth have been replaced, the nails have been replaced, the hair has fallen out, and the myopia has been greatly improved;

2. Unable to eat normal food, and will vomit soon after eating;

3. There is an inexplicable bloodthirsty impulse, which will be attracted by the smell of blood, triggering a strong feeling of hunger and driving the body to obtain blood. After drinking blood, there will be a sense of satisfaction and sleepiness;

4. Changes that have not yet been identified.

3. How to deal with X:

1. Investigate the cause of X;

2. Record the changes in the body and find the causes and trends of the changes;

3. Solve the problem of eating.

Looking at the document he had written, Xiang Kun rubbed his chin and found that most of the changes in his body seemed to be beneficial, even if the hair that had fallen out did not grow back, the impact was not great.

In the words of the game, most of the changes in his body are buffs, not DEBUFFs.

In addition to the problem of eating.

People need to eat to live, otherwise they will not be able to provide the energy they need to survive, and they will die. But from the evening of July 11 until today, July 15, he has not eaten anything except for drinking chicken blood, because he vomits what he eats.

He didn't think that that little bit of blood would provide all the energy he needed to survive.

Xiang Kun poured himself a glass of warm boiled water, drank it and sat quietly for ten minutes, there was no reaction in his stomach, obviously the water would not be rejected by the current stomach.

So he found the carton of pure milk that he had bought at home, and there was still half a carton left, poured it into a cup and drank it all in one go.

Twenty seconds later, Xiang Kun rushed to the toilet and vomited.
