Chapter 58: The Third Watch in the Middle of the Night
Chapter 58: The third watch is in the middle of the night
After the mutation in his body, Xiang Kun no longer needed to eat, or could not eat.
The only thing that can go down without vomiting is water and blood, and naturally there is no need to cook or cook.
What's more, before he mutated, he barely cooked by himself, and at most he made instant noodles or something in the rented house.
However, the memory of the giant owl rummaging through the garbage heap and finding the rabbit corpse he packed made him realize that his household garbage was too different from that of a normal person.
What is the household waste of ordinary people?
All kinds of food waste, used paper towels and toilet paper, bottles and cans, all kinds of garbage bags, and various other items.
But what about Xiang Kun's garbage?
In addition to the rabbit carcasses that are packed layer by layer, there is very little other garbage, basically only some packaging bags, plastic bags, etc., as well as cleaning the poop and residual food of the rabbit cage.
Because he doesn't sweat much now, doesn't have to eat, doesn't eat snacks, doesn't drink drinks, and consumes very little tissues, the trash cans are often empty.
Of course, the garbage classification law implemented in their city is not very strict, although it is divided into four-color buckets, but many people still only use a garbage bag to take out the garbage, and throw it all into the kitchen bucket, so no one will pay attention to his garbage, but it is always a hidden danger.
And when he buys rabbits and comes back, when he enters the community, he will inevitably be seen.
It doesn't matter once or twice, he doesn't have to buy it every day anyway, but after a long time, someone will definitely notice.
When he buys rabbits, there should always be an external statement.
Therefore, the carcasses of the three rabbits after Xiang Kun drank blood this time were not thrown away, but after being slightly disposed of, they were put in the refrigerator and frozen.
He looked up a few rabbit recipes on the Internet, and when he came back today, he went to the supermarket to buy all the ingredients he needed and the kitchenware that was missing in the kitchen.
Three rabbits, he is ready to use three methods.
Braised rabbit meat, spicy rabbit meat, stewed rabbit meat......
Xiang Kun didn't bother to thaw it slowly, so he just got it in hot water and soaked it, anyway, he wouldn't really eat it, he just used it to practice it.
Dealing with rabbit meat and cutting into pieces, the knife work was a little jerky at first, but it soon became smooth, although it was far from being compared to the chef, but at first glance it already looked like a raw hand who had never cooked.
After all, he is not only very strong now, but also has the ability to control various muscle groups, the grasp of strength, and the flexibility of fingers and wrists, which are also much stronger than ordinary people.
It's already early in the morning, but for Xiang Kun, it's the time to be in good spirits, and his physical condition is also excellent.
He took his mobile phone and clicked on a music app, pressed shuffle play, and put it on the edge of the spice table.
The volume is only adjusted one level, even if you don't turn on the range hood, the knife is not stained, and the oil is not in the pot, it is basically difficult for ordinary people to listen to what is singing on the side, so you don't have to worry about noisy neighbors.
But for Xiang Kun, as long as he wants, the sound of the music can be heard very clearly, no worse than wearing headphones, even the noise of cooking, and it can't hide the details of the music - this is not only because his hearing has been mutated and strengthened, but also because of his training during this time.
Whether it is accurately capturing the sound you want from a bunch of noises, or locking the flavor you want from various smells, it is now the basic operation of Xiang Kun, and you can do it instinctively.
The random songs on the mobile phone are Xiang Kun who has never heard them, but the lyrics and songs are quite beautiful.
In the past, when Xiang Kun was doing some repetitive work that didn't require much thinking, he would plug in headphones and work while listening to music. However, after the physical mutation, he opened the music APP, basically to test and train his hearing, and he hadn't really "listened" to music for a long time.
In the rhythmic singing, the speed of cutting rabbit meat to Kun is getting faster and faster.
“You cannot leave when you really wanna go,
You know the road better than the show,
And darkness makes you glow......”
Cut the peppers and onions into cubes, put the oil in the pot, and add the peppercorns, star anise, and dried chili peppers to the pot and stir-fry until fragrant.
“...... Hey~hey~hey~hey~it's a brand new day,ah~ha~
Hey~hey~hey~hey~it's a bround new day......”
Put the rabbit meat in the pan and stir-fry.
The music cut to the next song, and the sense of rhythm was stronger, and Xiang Kun's hand holding the shovel couldn't help but follow the rhythm, and the soles of his feet snapped to the beat.
“In a world full of followers~
I'll be a leader!
In a world full of doubters~
I'll be a believer!
I'm stepping out without a hesitation~
I ain't got nothing left to be afraid......”
Add light soy sauce, add cooking wine, stir-fry, shake with your left hand, the rabbit meat in the pot is churning, and the spatula in your right hand is also thrown out of your hand and quickly turned 720 degrees before holding it steadily, but the rabbit meat is half sprinkled on the boiling table......
Xiang Kun also sang out in some out-of-tune and non-standard English:
"Gonna be making it count~~~~I ~am~ sold out~"
Add sugar, add salt and remove from pan.
Tasted it, chewed it for a while, and spit it out.
Well, the taste...... Not so good.
Although he doesn't have to eat now, he vomits whatever he eats, but his sense of taste has not deteriorated.
And because there is no appetite effect, there is a more objective and clear judgment on the taste of food.
Directly dumped all the spicy rabbit meat into the trash, and Xiang Kun began to prepare the second rabbit meat dish.
The music also cuts to the next one, well, this is the song he's heard, "Demons" by Imagine Dragons, still cooking while shaking his shoulders and humming along with his out-of-tune voice and inaccurate English:
“Your eyes, they shine so bright~
I wanna save that light~
I can't escape this now~~
Unless you show me how(Broken Sound x2)~~~"
Xiang Kun's shovel flew, and he quickly turned a spatula into a thunderbolt knife, and the song he hummed along also became a Hokkien song "The Price of Heroes", but what remained unchanged was that it was still out of tune:
"Hey (broken sound x3)~~~~~ loneliness is the price of heroes~"
"Hey (broken sound x4)~~~~~~~ one step is a deep pit~~~"
Two minutes later, it changed to Cantonese, and continued to go out of tune with Beyond's voice:
"I've been burdened with hardship, regret and sigh~~~"
"Your eyes are full of tears at the moment~~"
"This world has been imperceptibly empty (broken sound x5)~~"
"Whew~~~ I don't want you to go~"
The braised rabbit meat out of the pot, Xiang Kun threw the spatula to the top of his head, the spatula that he had just bought in the afternoon, less than 10 yuan, spun rapidly in the air, and he was almost to the roof of the house and stopped for a moment, and then fell, Xiang Kun put the rabbit meat on the plate, and raised his hand to catch it steadily.
The song in the mobile phone still continues, this time it is Jacky Cheung, Xiang Kun sings impassionedly, of course, it is still out of tune:
"Against all sentient beings~~~at the mercy of the wind and rain~"
"Erase the justice of the common people~"
"Confusing all living beings, Autumn Mountain is higher than the sky~~"
"And Momiji is finally showing arrogance!"
SUDDENLY, THERE WAS A BANGING KNOCK ON THE DOOR INTERRUPTING XIANG KUN, WHO WAS PREPARING THE THIRD RABBIT DISH AND SINGING AND SINGING, HE FROWNED AND LOOKED IN THE DIRECTION OF THE DOOR, JUDGING FROM THE SOUND, THERE WERE TWO PEOPLE OUTSIDE THE DOOR, JUDGING FROM THE SMELL, BOTH SHOULD BE MEN, AND THE SMELL OF SWEAT AND SMOKE WAS VERY STRONG.
He glanced at his phone, it was already 3 o'clock in the morning, who would come to the door at this time?
And every building in their community has an access control system, so it stands to reason that you should ring the call doorbell first, so how can you knock on the door directly?
Xiang Kun was suspicious in his heart, turned off the gas, and walked towards the door.
He wasn't worried about someone coming to the door, after fighting the giant owl hand-to-hand, he knew very well that if there were two ordinary people outside the door, unless there was a hot weapon, he should be fine with a pair of two.
What's more, with his ability to recover, there is a high degree of fault tolerance.
But as he passed by the living room, he still held a screwdriver in his hand.
looked outside from the cat's eye, but was stunned to find that there were security guards from two communities standing at the door, and they were all seen by him, and they were definitely not fakes.
After hiding the screwdriver, Xiang Kun opened the door with some confusion.
"Mr. Xiang, I'm sorry to disturb, we rang the doorbell and you didn't open it, so we had to knock on the door. After opening the door, the older security guard said.
Xiang Kun was a little strange: "Have you ever rang the doorbell?" He didn't hear it, could it be that he was too focused on cooking, and at the same time, his auditory attention was on the phone?
"Maybe I was just writing code, I didn't hear it, you guys have something to do with me so late?" Xiang Kun said casually.
"Mr. Xiang, if you want to sing at home, please be quiet, it's too late, the sound insulation here is not very good, there are many owners who have called to complain, you are singing too loudly......" The elderly security guard said with a strange expression.
Hearing this, Xiang Kun was suddenly stunned, and there seemed to be an electric light in his head.
Damn!?What did I just do?
Obviously, I thought about not disturbing the people before playing music, so I only turned on the volume by one bar, why did I just let myself go unconsciously?
I didn't realize that I was singing along with the music.
"Mr. Xiang, Mr. Xiang?"
Seeing Xiang Kun, who seemed to be petrified, the security guard called out in surprise.
Xiang Kun reacted, and then quickly folded his hands and apologized to them again and again: "I'm really sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm dizzy from writing code, wearing headphones, and accidentally singing along, I didn't even realize it." ”
"Well, it would be nice to pay attention to Mr. Xiang. The security guards didn't think there was anything wrong with Xiang Kun's explanation, in fact, they originally thought that Xiang Kun was drunk and crazy, but after opening the door, it was obvious that he was very sober, and there was no smell of alcohol.
It's just that Xiang Kun sings too loudly, and there is no music, it is out of tune, and the tone is broken, which is really lethal at night.
After explaining and apologizing, after the two security guards left, Xiang Kun closed the door with a very solemn expression on his face.
His auditory attention has just been on the music playing from his mobile phone, and to some extent, it does have the effect of wearing headphones, which will repel and block other sounds to a certain extent, which is also his ability to accurately capture the sound he needs from a bunch of noise.
At this time, the volume of your singing and vocalization may indeed be unclear, unable to distinguish between light and heavy, and become too loud.
But Xiang Kun didn't think that this was the reason why he didn't realize the current time just now, and his voice was too loud, he had just completely entered a state of high self-HIGH, which was very abnormal.
Since the mutation occurred, Xiang Kun has always tried his best to remain calm and rational, even when he was driven by hunger and the desire to drink blood, he still has subjective thoughts of resistance and control.
After the first mutation, he was almost dominated by his body instinct in the vegetable market to buy a chicken and come back to drink blood, and he remembered the whole process from buying the chicken to coming back to drink blood, and he remembered very clearly, and the feelings of the body and the thinking of the brain were not deprived.
But he always felt that it was not a decision made by his brain, his subjective consciousness, but a deeper instinct in his body, which should come from the same source as the satisfaction and pleasure he felt every time he drank blood, and the longing and anxiety he felt every time he was hungry.
But that state just now obviously did not come from the instinct of the body, but from his own subjective consciousness.
Because he knows very well that the behavior of the whole process is determined by himself, and it is all his own consciousness that dominates.
This made Xiang Kun feel even more worried, because he suddenly realized that he had been paying attention to the changes in his body since his mutation, but he seemed to ignore the changes in his spirit.
