Chapter 279: Ant Lovers
Looking at the middle-aged man who had just walked out of the entrance of the scenic spot, with a medium stature, a rough appearance, and a mustache, Ji Hang was puzzled:
How did he end up here?
This middle-aged man's name is Li Shiyu, and he was in the same unit as Ji Hang before, so he can be said to be comrades-in-arms.
When Ji Hang started a security company, he naturally contacted his old comrades-in-arms. He knows very well who has strong business ability and professional skills. And this Li Shiyu was one of the first people he contacted. Because he knows very well that Li Shiyu has a lot of experience in small team leadership and command.
In their line of work, there are no very high requirements for personal physical fitness and force, and with the passage of time and the increase in age, they must not be as good as young people, compared to experience and other professional abilities, which are truly priceless, and are things that ordinary people spend money and time to learn.
However, at that time, Li Shiyu not only declined him, but also recruited him in turn, saying that there was a big company to recruit, the remuneration was quite generous, the annual income might reach seven figures, and all kinds of insurance and benefits were the best.
Yes, the comrade-in-arms he told Mr. Chu and Mr. Liu last night who had found a "suitable job" and earned a seven-figure annual income was Li Shiyu.
To be honest, he was also very interested at that time, and asked about it, but Li Shiyu said that for a more specific situation, someone needed to talk to him, and he needed to sign some confidentiality agreements.
After thinking about it, Ji Hang still chose to continue his entrepreneurial path.
First, he has already pulled some old brothers, and the funds are almost ready, so it is impossible to leave this stall alone; second, according to Li Shiyu's description, what the company wants them to do is not expected to be easy, and the big money is certainly not made in vain, and it may not be necessary to break the law and commit crimes, but they will either be on business for a long time, or they will be on call 24 hours a day, plus a complex confidentiality agreement, it is estimated that it is similar to the task they carried out at the beginning. He is not young anymore, and he still hopes to have some normal life.
Seeing his old comrades-in-arms, Ji Hang didn't say hello, he noticed that there were two women, three men and five people around Li Shiyu, and it was estimated that he was working now.
Li Shiyu, who walked out of the scenic spot, also maintained a good habit of observation, and soon noticed the swarthy man leaning on the side of a GL8 in the parking lot, and his eyes did not stay too long, but nodded his head very slightly, which was regarded as a greeting.
Ji Hang also nodded slightly, indicating a response.
It seems that he is really in working condition right now.
Ji Hang couldn't help but guess Li Shiyu's work, looking at the people he accompanied, from the outfit, dress, things he carried, and staffing, it didn't look like a rich person going up the mountain to wander around.
If you are not traveling, what are you doing in Wushushan?
From the position of Li Shiyu when he walked, and the state of several other people, it can be inferred that among those people, the status of the two women is the highest, or the most important.
And the two of them had a rather serious expression at this time, and they were talking in a low voice, as if they had encountered some problems.
However, curiosity is curiosity, and Ji Hang also knows that when there are no relevant interests involved, if he ventures to investigate, it is equivalent to provoking Li Shiyu and affecting his work.
Half a minute later, looking at Xiang Kun and his party who came out of the scenic spot after him, a thought suddenly popped up in Ji Hang's heart:
Xiang Kun came to Wushushan today, wouldn't it have anything to do with Li Shiyu and them?
But he quickly threw the thought out of his mind, and it shouldn't have been such a coincidence.
Naturally, he didn't know that when he and Li Shiyu greeted each other quietly and tacitly, Xiang Kun, who was not far from Li Shiyu and his party, and was also out of the scenic spot, had already noticed the "exchange" between them and instantly connected them.
Xiang Kun didn't think that Ji Hang was the person of "Shenxing Technology", because he could obviously feel that the person in the group of people in "Shenxing Technology" who nodded to Ji Hang was surprised or surprised for a moment when he saw Ji Hang. And according to the conversation between Ji Hang and Xu Kai after they just entered the scenic spot, it can also be determined that the two of them came to drive today, and the reason is Liu Feibao, which has nothing to do with "Shenxing Technology".
As for the acquaintance between the person in "Shenxing Technology" and Ji Hang, it is actually easy to understand - they may have served in the same unit before.
......
A few hours ago, when they were still in the car and had not yet arrived at the scenic spot, Xiang Kun had already sensed the piece of paper that had established a "super sensory connection" next to Mi Qiao, and knew that she and the people of "Shenxing Technology" were already in the Wushu Mountain Scenic Area.
Therefore, Xiang Kun was not surprised to meet Mi Qiao, Fang Pingfang and others in Wushushan, and even looked forward to it.
Although they had guessed their purpose in the vicinity of Wushu Mountain before, it was only at this time that they could be completely sure that they were indeed coming for the mutated creatures that might appear on Wushu Mountain.
Xiang Kun was also curious about what ways they would investigate, and what role Miqiao and Dr. Fang would play in this.
Compared with the whereabouts of the "mutant ants" or "mutant birds", the investigation mode of "Shenxing Technology" on this kind of thing is what he pays more attention to.
When Xiang Kun and the others went up the mountain, Mi Qiao and the others were already on the mountain, and the location they were in was the area where the accident happened the day before yesterday, and that area had been blocked and isolated, and the staff of the scenic spot were watching and not allowing ordinary tourists to enter.
When tourists go up the mountain, they can see Micho from a distance on the mountainside, and some tourists also want to go over, but when they are stopped by the staff, they point over there and say, "How can they go over?"
The staff's response was: "They are not tourists. ”
Xiang Kun estimated that the staff of the scenic spot should only know that they are not tourists, but what exactly they do, it is estimated that the people who coordinate above may not tell them.
Although the distance is far away, Micho has Xiang Kun's "Super Sensory Connection" item in the bag on his back, which can help him lock the location so that his super hearing sense can accurately collect sound information.
Therefore, Xiang Kun accompanied Tang Baona and others to climb the mountain, and at the same time paid attention to the information from Miqiao and Dr. Fang, as well as the conversation between Ji Hang and Xu Kai in the parking lot.
Although his brain can now process multiple information at the same time, it is mostly the subconscious instinct that he has after a lot of training to guide the mutation, as if when he walks into a certain building or a certain area, the brain will automatically collect various sounds and smells, and carry out primary preprocessing, if there are details that he should pay attention to, he will be aware of it.
And now, he needs to consciously concentrate his hearing ability to collect sound information from two locations that are very far apart, and even now it is a little difficult for him to do it, so when he climbs the mountain, he looks a little dazed and inattentive.
"Xiang Kun, are you not feeling well?" Tang Baona, who was walking in front, noticed his abnormality, turned around to help him, and asked with concern.
Xiang Kun withdrew his attention to Ji Hang and Xu Kai in the parking lot, on the one hand, they had stopped chatting, and on the other hand, they were too far away, and in the case of "dual-purpose", it was already very difficult for him to hear the voice.
"Maybe it's a lack of sleep and a little sleepy. Xiang Kun explained with a smile.
"Sleep deprivation? I'll go, you don't get enough sleep and go for a run early in the morning?" Zicheng, who was walking a little ahead, heard this, turned his head and widened his eyes and asked, "I don't know what time you went out!" Yesterday morning, too, I went for a run early in the morning, and it was such a cold day...... Why bother, why bother? Isn't it comfortable to be in the bed?"
Yang Zhuo smiled: "Brother Liu, look at Brother Xiang's figure, he doesn't have a strong will, but there is no way to practice it in a few months." He had seen photos of Xiang Kun on social media when he was still working, and knew that Xiang Kun had changed in figure before and after his fitness.
Zicheng nodded and sighed: "It seems that I can't lose weight in my life, lazy sleep and delicious food, I can't live up to it!"
Yang Jie couldn't help but complain: "Hey, how do you express laziness as if you love life?"
Xiang Kun signaled to Tang Baona that he was fine, and pointed to the small pavilion on the mountainside: "I'll go there and rest for a while, and you can continue to go up." ”
"Xiaojie and I are also a little tired from climbing, let's rest together. Zhang Qian also said, and then took the lead to go to the small pavilion with Yang Jie and Xiaomin.
So a group of eleven people all entered the small pavilion at once, and the entire small pavilion was crowded.
Everyone was drinking, eating, taking pictures, and chatting, but it was also very lively.
And Xiang Kun sat in the corner of the pavilion, pretending to rest, while he could concentrate on listening to Miqiao and Dr. Fang's movements.
However, judging from what he heard, although Miqiao and his team had a lot of investigation channels and sources, collected some relevant videos filmed around the area at that time, and a large number of eyewitnesses to the accident described the scene of the scene, they were still unclear about the specific direction of the investigation, and the truth they knew was even far inferior to Xiang Kun.
Listening to them analyzing and guessing the situation when the accident occurred on the morning of the 18th, Xiang Kun couldn't help but feel anxious for them, wanting to help guide them to the right path and make them realize what they were investigating.
He wanted to see what kind of processing mechanism the people of "Shenxing Technology" would have after determining the existence of mutant creatures, how to carry out follow-up actions, and how to mobilize resources.
Although they may eventually go in the right direction of investigation, at most it will take a little more time, but Xiang Kun can't stay in Copperstone Town for too long, and he has already booked a ticket to go back tomorrow, he hopes that Micho and their investigation can make progress as soon as possible, and it is best to make a breakthrough today.
But he couldn't just go over and tell them: "What you want to check are two mutated creatures! One may be mutated by ants! The other may be some kind of big bird! They should be fighting each other and harming ordinary tourists! They are no longer a few peaks near Wushu Mountain, you can try to search deep into the mountains!"
However, after Xiang Kun found out that one of the people who was with Miqiao and Dr. Fang was Zhou Rui, a researcher of "Shenxing Technology" who had confirmed his identity with the help of Alice, he had the idea of trying.
Sitting next to the pillar of the gazebo, Xiang Kun closed his eyes and looked like he was pretending to be asleep, so as to enter the "super sensory state".
Through the positioning of the "black circle graffiti" sandwiched in the soft leather book in Micho's backpack, Xiang Kun's perception descended on them.
In the "supersensory state", Xiang Kun is already very familiar with the physical perception information of Mi Qiao, Dr. Fang, and others, and knows very well which information represents which person.
Previously, Little Apple relied on Xiang Kun's control of multiple "emotion injection" items to "develop" a concretized set of emotions that could invoke "emotion injection" items, so that it had an emotional impact on the target and a corresponding hallucinatory projection.
Through Xiang Kun's attempts and experiments, when used in the "supersensory state", people can also produce the corresponding emotional projection hallucination, which is the same principle as dreams.
Because of this, Xiang Kun came up with an idea, can he use the method of editing dreams to directly make people have similar hallucinations in reality?
According to his deduction, this method is still feasible, especially now that there is an opportunity for this experiment, Mi Qiao is carrying the bag with the "black circle graffiti", and Zhou Rui is in the range of influence.
Therefore, Xiang Kun began to concretize a certain image in Zhou Rui's sensory information after invoking the emotional embodiment collection of "black circle graffiti" and putting it into Zhou Rui's perceptual information.
Hallucinations in the waking state are naturally much more difficult to create than in dreams, and they are also affected by the "supersensory state".
In the past, Dr. Fang had an influence on her to see the "diced rabbit meat" in the laboratory, relying on the embodiment of the emotions of the rabbit wood carving, but now, he has to "edit" the illusion autonomously.
Naturally, he can't make up whatever he wants, because there is no corresponding "code". Fortunately, Xiang Kun had perceived Zhou Rui's dreams before, so he could try to edit the elements that had appeared in a certain dream, so that it would appear in Zhou Rui's visual senses at this time.
It's like a rudimentary "paint editor", without any brushes, only a set pattern that can be "placed" by him.
The pattern that Xiang Kun chose to place is - ants.
This is the most impressive element I have seen in Zhou Rui's dream, and he and Alice found Zhou Rui's exact identity through the ant box seen in the dream.
And now, ants are the best hint for them.
So, under the influence of Xiang Kun, Zhou Rui, who was taking pictures next to Fang Pingfang according to her request, suddenly saw an ant the size of a little fingernail and quickly burrowed into the mud.
Zhou Rui's expression froze.
If someone else saw this ant, there shouldn't be anything unusual, after all, this is the most common insect, and it is normal to see it in the mountains.
But Zhou Rui is a senior and even fanatical ant lover, and he knows the habits of many ants very well, knowing that this season, there should be no ants outside, and the ants basically shrink into their nests for the winter.
Moreover, the big worker ant he just saw happened to be the species he was raising now, and this kind of ant was not distributed in Haixi Province.
A strong curiosity drove him to lie on the ground, carefully observing the place where the big worker ant had disappeared, and after a moment, he began to take out a tool to dig up the earth.
His abnormal behavior also quickly attracted the attention of Fang Pingfang, Mi Qiao and others, who all came to inquire.
But Zhou Rui didn't say anything, just dug hard, dug up and observed, and then began to look elsewhere.
In the distance, in the small pavilion on the mountainside, Xiang Kun has already escaped the "super sensory state".
He only created a brief illusion of ants for Zhou Rui, and even the reality of the illusion itself is very limited, thanks to Zhou Rui's own dreams, otherwise it is estimated that he may not recognize it.
But no matter what, the effect has been achieved.
Xiang Kun believes that with Zhou Rui's familiarity with ants, he will soon be able to discover the lack of a group of ants on this mountain, and then this will lead to more targeted investigations and actions by Mi Qiao, Dr. Fang and others.
"Xiang Kun, let's go back early in a while, you really have to make up for sleep and have a good rest." Seeing Xiang Kun "wake up", Tang Baona, who was sitting next to her, said worriedly.
Xiang Kun jumped up, stretched his arms widely, and said energetically: "I'm OK! I dozed off a little, and now I have become a living dragon again, let's climb the mountain!"
Seeing him like this, Tang Baona, You Meng and others also let go of their worries and followed back to the mountain road.
Xiang Kun didn't take a few steps in front of him, he felt the vibration of the mobile phone in his pocket, picked it up and looked at it, but saw that it was Xia Libing's WeChat message to him: "Are you worried about those two drivers?"
Xiang Kun was stunned, and looked back at Xia Libing, who was walking up with his mobile phone in the middle of the team, and was a little surprised in his heart, Lao Xia actually saw that Ji Hang and Xu Kai had a problem?
"What's wrong with them?" Xiang Kun quickly replied to WeChat.
After a while, Xia Libing replied: "Although they are very skilled in driving, they are not like professional drivers. Ji Hang said too much, you dealt with it too deliberately, you are talking to him. ”
Xiang Kun suddenly realized, it turned out that Lao Xia had come to the inference by observing him.
"It's okay, they don't mean anything, I'm thinking about something else, don't worry. Xiang Kun replied quickly.
Lao Xia replied with an OK expression.
When he went down the mountain, in fact, Xiang Kun didn't deliberately want to get together with Miqiao and Dr. Fang, it just happened.
However, Miqiao and the others were in front of them, and they didn't notice Xiang Kun and the others behind.
According to the information Xiang Kun heard, they were still confirming the situation of the ants, but they suddenly got the news that traces of the big bird had appeared elsewhere, and they needed to rush over immediately.
After returning to the car with his friends, Xiang Kun built a "map" of the surroundings in his brain, judging the possible trajectory of the big bird.
