Chapter 237: Five Dreams, One Clue
Yang Zhener's birthday, in addition to Xiang Kun and Tang Baona, Tang Baona's sister Baoting and "quasi-brother-in-law" Gao Yao will not be absent, as well as her friend Qin Ping. Flash Dance
It's a pity that Lao Xia has to be on duty on New Year's Day this time, and he can't come back without a holiday.
Of course, Yang Zhener "promised" Lao Xia that she would definitely send her pictures and videos to "share" what was delicious for dinner.
Xiang Kun is still busy in the kitchen alone, it's not that Yang Zhen'er and Tang Baona are unwilling to help, it's really that they can't help at all when they come into the kitchen, but it disrupts his arrangement plan, anyway, he can handle it alone, this time it's much easier than Christmas Eve.
While processing the ingredients, Xiang Kun kept sensing the "rabbit wood carvings" and "bones" left in the depths of the Qinling Mountains.
Through the perceived emotions, Xiang Kun can be sure that there are at least two people around the "rabbit wood carving".
After perceiving a large number of emotions, Xiang Kun has already discovered that emotions also have characteristics, even if they are the same type of emotions, such as fear - even if the source of fear is the same, there are subtle differences in the emotions of different people. It's just that you need to carefully distinguish and build a feature database to detect the difference.
Even for more familiar people, such as Tang Baona, he can tell whether the owner of the perceptual emotion is her from certain specific emotions.
And from the emotional perception of a thing, we can also judge a little bit of the personality of the emotional owner.
Just like Xiang Kun now perceives the two equally surprised emotions through the "rabbit wood carving", he makes a judgment by imagining the pictures and scenes in the cave, and establishing a cognitive model after substituting himself, and the psychological tolerance of these two is stronger than that of most ordinary people.
Although Xiang Kun's wood carving skills have improved greatly compared to the beginning. But in the Qinling Mountains, he did not bring the wood carving tools that established the "super sensory connection", and the wood he made was actually not very suitable, so he could only use a metal arrow to chisel.
However, the rough appearance of the rabbit wood carving looks a little more weird, primitive and mysterious, and in the environment of the cave, there are other animal corpses, and the average person will have greater mood swings when they see it.
Xiang Kun couldn't help but guess that one of the two people who came into contact with wood carving now would there be a "vampire"? Could it be Lu Cheng'an, the founder of "Shenxing Technology"?
However, Xiang Kun thought about it for a while and temporarily ruled out that possibility, if it was a "vampire", there should be other emotions, relatively speaking, doubts should account for the majority.
Because of the area near the cave, Xiang Kun has personally explored most of the places, most of the places he has visited, and he has not been to observe them from a high place, and he can establish a basic scene map in his mind. Therefore, when locating the bone through the establishment of a "supersensory connection", it is possible to make a more accurate judgment on its trajectory and distance.
Judging from the direction in which it moved, after being taken out of the cave, it was going directly to the outside of the Qinling Mountains, which was the tendency to leave.
Although it is not known how they found the cliff cave, it stands to reason that finding the cave does not mean that the search has made significant progress, and the search should continue to expand?
Or have they also realized that the person who left the wood carving behind was not the mutant creature that killed the wild boar in the first place?
But if that's the case, they should also continue to track down the person who left the wood carving.
Unless they think they can't track anything down if they stay? How did they come to that judgment?
Of course, it is also possible that they have two groups of people, one group of people to bring back the contents of the cave, and one group of people to stay and continue to explore and search.
While sensing and thinking, Xiang Kun made dinner.
There are still three dishes with rabbit meat as the main ingredient - no way, there are too many rabbits consumed every time you drink blood, and even if you often make dishes and send them to the security guards and properties of the community, there are still many things that need to be dealt with. Now the weekly "food expenses" are much higher than before his mutation.
In addition, there are several newly developed dishes, such as sizzling squid, garlic lobster, and two green vegetables, which are not too difficult for him.
And he is basically familiar with the tastes of these people at night, even Qin Ping, who has observed it last time, probably knows her taste bias.
At the dinner table, Xiang Kun learned that Qin Ping finally chose the offer of "Shenxing Technology", although "Shenxing Technology" seems to be more of an exploration of research and development in new fields, and the products of another company are much more mature, and it is a safer choice to go to the latter for career development. But for Qin Ping, who is less than thirty years old, the offer provided by "Shenxing Technology" is obviously more challenging and more expected, not to mention that the treatment is also better.
"When did you join the company, is the headquarters of 'Shenxing Technology' in this city, and where is the research and development place where they make this power exoskeleton?" Yang Zhener asked curiously.
"The R&D center of this piece is located in Yangcheng, and I will pass it in the next year, alas, I will not be able to eat the food made by the chef often in the future, and I will miss it. Qin Ping said, but her hands didn't stop, she already liked seafood, so she was quite interested in the lobster made by Xiang Kun.
Yangcheng?
As soon as he mentioned this city, Xiang Kun thought of Guo Tianxiang, but he also knew that there was probably more than one R&D center for "Shenxing Technology", and the laboratories related to vampires and mutant creatures might not be in the same place as R&D sites in other directions.
He also guessed in his mind where the things that were brought out of the cave would be sent.
When the position is no longer moved, after it is determined, Xiang Kun has no choice but to run over to observe.
Of course, you have to be careful and careful, do your homework and investigate. Compared with Guo Tianxiang, "Shenxing Technology" is a more difficult and dangerous existence. 35xs
Although it is not yet known the exact attitude of the "Shenxing Technology" and the people behind it towards other "vampires" and mutated creatures, judging from the memory fragments of the giant owl, mutant spider, and Guo Tianxiang obtained by Xiang Kun, the mutant creatures will have a "rigid need" for the blood of other mutated creatures at a certain stage, so it is destined to be difficult to have a chance of peaceful coexistence.
After eating, everyone got together to play Three Kingdoms, although Xiang Kun can basically know their identity the moment everyone gets the identity card, but when they play, they still simulate that they don't know the "truth", and play according to the routine, which makes Yang Zhener and Tang Baona feel that they have finally discovered an area that Xiang Kun is not so good at.
When it was almost twelve o'clock, everyone stopped and began to cut cakes and sing birthday songs, and Yang Zhener blew out candles and made wishes.
However, when everyone was about to say goodbye and leave, Yang Zhen'er stopped Xiang Kun, "No, I have to take a look at the gift that Xiang Carpenter gave me first, if it is really ten thousand horses galloping and eight immortals crossing the sea, I will 'return'!"
Qin Ping couldn't help but smile and said, "It's the first time I've heard that birthday gifts given by others have to be 'returned', and it's too difficult to be your friend, hey, you can also check the gifts I sent, if you are not satisfied, I can also bring them back to 'return'!"
Tang Baoting also quipped, "Yes, yes, take a look at what we sent, if it doesn't work, I can also take it to 'return'." ”
Yang Zhen'er ignored other people's jokes, and snorted, "That's different, the gift to the carpenter was made by himself, in order to wait for this wood carving, I have waited for three months, but I can't let him pass the test in the dark, I have to take care of it." ”
Xiang Kun smiled and said, "Okay, okay, today you are the birthday star, you have the final say, first 'inspect', first 'inspect'~! If not, I will redo it for you! Everyone is watching, I will definitely not cheat!"
So Tang Baoting and Qin Ping, who had already walked to the door, also walked back to see Yang Zhener "unpacking".
Seeing the cardboard box that had been placed in the corner of the living room before, they were curious, they didn't know what kind of gift Xiang Kun was given, but now that they have the opportunity to look at it together, they naturally won't miss it.
After opening the carton, there was a bunch of bubble wrap for filling, and Yang Zhen'er first picked up a small wooden box from the upper left under the guidance of Xiang Kun.
The wooden box didn't look very delicate, and it wasn't painted, but the corners were polished, at least there were no wooden thorns or, just like the box used to send Tang Baona's wood carvings to Kun before.
After opening, inside is a long-haired girl with a big palm, holding a double sword, and wearing armor, although it is the same as the wood carving that gave Tang Baona as a Christmas gift before, it is a Q version cartoon image with a big head and a round face, but it is also easy for familiar people to see that the prototype of this wood carving is Yang Zhener, and the characteristics are very accurate.
Yang Zhen'er's eyes lit up, the image carved by "Xiang Carpenter" is really quite in line with her heart, and she often yys herself in the second dimension, and it is almost like this - of course, it is not the Q version but the beautiful and handsome version.
"It's a Christmas present for you. Xiang Kun added on the side.
"Hey, I want to be cheeky enough to ask Kun for a Christmas present. Tang Baoting couldn't help but sigh.
"I want to, too. Gao Yao also nodded and whispered in agreement.
Yang Zhen'er happily put the small wooden carving back into the box, put it on the table, reached into the cardboard box again, and with the help of Xiang Kun, untied the fixed object and took out the larger wooden carving that was not packed in a wooden box.
After taking it out, except for Xiang Kun, several people watching the excitement couldn't help but exhale softly.
The theme of this wood carving is a dinosaur, and on the back of the dinosaur, there are five people in the comic robot cat, but the robot cat, Nobita, and Xiaojing ride on the back, and the fat tiger and Xiaofu hold the dinosaur's tail tightly.
"How do you know that my favorite manga is 'Robot Cat'?" asked Yang Zhen'er in surprise.
"Didn't you say it yourself?" Xiang Kun wondered.
"Did I say that?" Yang Zhen'er wondered.
"Yes. Xiang Kun is sure. Of course, it was actually surmised by some of the scenes he had seen in his dreams. In fact, the two wood carvings for Yang Zhen'er, really talking about the details of the production, are not very good, because he did not establish a "supersensory connection" with the material, nor did he "inject emotions". However, it was a coincidence, and the two wood carvings she made were definitely the shapes that Yang Zhener liked, so she still couldn't put it down and was very satisfied.
After leaving Tang Baona's house, Xiang Kun and Qin Ping followed Tang Baoting and Gao Yao's car.
In the car, Xiang Kun was chatting with the three of them, but at the same time, he was perceiving dreams through the "rabbit wood carving".
In fact, from less than ten o'clock in the evening, Xiang Kun had already perceived the first dream through the "rabbit wood carving", and before leaving, he sensed the second one, and soon after getting into the car, he sensed the third one.
From his previous experiments, it can be known that on the same night, an "emotionally injected" object cannot trigger emotions and make the same person dream twice, but after perceiving a dream, it can again induce and perceive the dream of another person near the object.
After arriving home, within two hours, he perceived two more dreams, and then until sunrise, he did not perceive any new dreams.
In other words, there are at least five people near the "rabbit wood carving".
As for whether there are only five people in total, it is not certain, after all, the scope of influence of "rabbit wood carving" is limited, maybe there are other people outside the scope of influence.
Xiang Kun summed up the dreams he perceived, two of the dreams were military-related training, and it was obvious that these two people were "professionals" who had undergone this kind of training, and it was normal for them to appear in the team exploring the Qinling Mountains.
There is a dream scene in a laboratory, the owner of the dream is concentrating on various processes of "rabbit meat", apparently this is a researcher from the Chengtian Bubble Laboratory, he appears in the team, and it is also normal.
The other two dreams, one playing with Lego toys and the other feeding ants in a giant transparent ant box. It can be seen from the former's various egg-hurting and complex gameplay, and the latter's uniquely designed and obviously customized ant box that the owners of these two dreams are also science and engineering otakus, and they are probably the same as the laboratory dream, both of whom are technicians engaged in research.
This is also the reason why Xiang Kun uses that kind of focused and serious emotion to "inject emotions" into the rabbit wood carving, based on previous experience, when affected by this emotion, the dreams of the affected person are usually related to their occupation or hobbies.
In this way, he can speculate on the other party's occupation and identity through dreams.
Even if he is lucky enough to get enough information, he may be able to directly determine the identity of the owner of the dream, or know what research is being carried out by the institutions and organizations behind them, and what results have been achieved.
From those two dreams of military-related training, Xiang Kun failed to find out any special information, and the other three dreams were relatively much more informative.
After repeated thinking and calculations, Xiang Kun focused on the dream of feeding ants.
Whether it is the ants themselves or the large ant box with a special shape, the number should be very small, and if it is custom-made, it can even be directly located to people.
And this kind of niche hobby group, there may only be so many small circles in the country, and those who play well and are relatively good may be known to everyone. This kind of tech nerd also likes to find like-minded people by sharing.
Of course, another possibility cannot be ruled out, that is, the owner of the dream really likes ants very much, and pays a lot of attention to relevant information, but it is only "cloud raising ants", and there is actually no time to raise them, and those ants and the large ant box are all out of him. If he has enough YY on weekdays, is serious enough, and focused enough, it is possible to dream of his YY if he is provoked by rabbit wood carvings.
However, the probability of that situation is not very large, Xiang Kun still started with ants and ant boxes, checked the species map of ants on the Internet, compared the appearance of ants seen in dreams, determined the species, and then searched in various ant-related post bars, communities, and forums to find relevant content.
During this process, Xiang Kun has been asking Alice to monitor his operation on the computer, and every step he makes, he will also tell Alice the purpose and reason for doing so.
He wants Alice to learn the logic of his inquiry, and Alice to learn to take "shortcuts".
At nine o'clock in the morning, Xiang Kun finally saw the ant box on Weibo that was basically the same as in the dream, and then looked at the "from huawei ATE20" displayed on Weibo, and linked to an ATE20 on the side of the ant box in the dream, which increased the possibility of being the same person.
The Weibo user is not authenticated, and the occupation is not marked, but as long as the Weibo account is found, Xiang Kun knows that it is not far from finding a specific person.
At that time, whether it is through the bones of the "super sensory connection" or this ant brother, it can become a clue for him to pursue.
