Chapter 456: The Sofa and the Bed

Because of air traffic control, a large number of flights at the airport were delayed, and it was not until more than six o'clock in the evening that Xiang Kun boarded the plane back to Thorn Tong.

At this time, almost twenty hours had passed since he felt the urge to drink blood.

Although it was daytime, and the mania and violence brought about by the blood-drinking impulse were not as strong as they were at night, the continuous, prolonged suppression, like the accumulation of combustible gas, was in danger of being ignited and exploded at any time.

When I was in Montamira before, I saw a lot of bloody and violent scenes, and if Xiang Kun had just mutated not long ago, it was estimated that he would have "exploded".

Therefore, even if he can stay calm and sober from time to time by sensing Lao Xia's "quasi-emotions", the induction time cannot last too long and too often, otherwise there may be a feeling of tending to "refinement", after all, he only carries out simple psychological suppression through "quasi-emotions", but the physiological demand for blood drinking will become more and more intense.

Of course, under normal circumstances, if there is no accident and no strong external stimulus, he is still fully confident that he will suppress the urge to drink blood for another 24 hours and keep his sanity.

After sitting on the plane, Xiang Kun closed his eyes as he had done when he had taken the plane many times after his mutation, fastening his seat belt and making a posture of fake sleep.

As before, when Xiang Kun was "sleeping", he also entered the "super sensing state", and then memorized and judged the cognitive information of the aircraft's mechanical and electronic components.

He does this every time he flies, and basically every time he takes a plane, it is a 737-800 Winglets, except for a few differences, most of the structures and electronic components are similar, which is convenient for him to correspond and undertake cognitive information.

And he has already read the drawings, design manuals, operation manuals, maintenance manuals and other related materials that can be found in this model, and it is easier to correspond to the cognitive information in the "super sensing state" and the component structure in reality with the information on the drawings.

If Xiang Kun is willing, he can already influence all the electronic components of the aircraft now in the "super sensing state".

But at present, all he can do accurately is to turn on and off the reading lights, and control the on, on and off of all indicator lights, and other more specific operations can't be done, especially like controlling the plane to fly, which is not possible for the time being.

Of course, he didn't have this idea, and he wouldn't try it, which affected the flight of the plane, which threatened the lives of the passengers on the entire plane.

Therefore, on the plane, after entering the "supersensory state", he basically only distinguishes and understands the various cognitive information on the plane, and does not try to exert any influence through the "super-complex".

The reason why he did this was not that he wanted to fly the plane or had any other purpose after understanding all the cognitive information of the plane, the main reason was that he was interested, and the other was that when he had the urge to drink blood, when he entered the "supersensory state" and concentrated on what to do, he could better temporarily eliminate the influence of the urge to drink blood.

After getting out of the "super-sensory state", he sensed Lao Xia's "quasi-emotion", and after the induction, he entered the "super-sensory state", so that the alternating cycle can ensure that he is always in a peaceful and stable state, and will not let his emotions be detonated by mania and violence.

After the plane landed and walked out of the airport, Xiang Kun directly called a car to go to Lao Xia's house.

He didn't let Lao Xia pick it up, because he knew that now Lao Xia was fighting against the Sandman sleepiness just like he was fighting the urge to drink blood, and it was too dangerous to drive now.

When he arrived at the door of Lao Xia's house, Xiang Kun rang the doorbell, and the door opened.

Lao Xia, who came to open the door, couldn't open his eyes, he was sure that it was him, and after opening the door, he sat back on the sofa, and then slowly fell down, his legs shrunk, and he fell asleep in seconds.

Obviously, after seeing him return, Lao Xia no longer forcibly stayed awake and obeyed the call of the Sandman.

Xiang Kun was not surprised by this, calculating the time, Lao Xia had not slept for more than 30 hours, longer than he had the urge to drink blood.

Although Lao Xia has abilities such as "fantasy and dream" and "dream within a dream" through the "super sensory item system", he is still an ordinary person in essence.

Therefore, Xiang Kun also often monitors and analyzes Lao Xia's physical condition through infrared thermal imaging visual modes and various sensory information to ensure that Lao Xia's physical condition is not problematic.

At least so far, although Lao Xia has helped him stay asleep several times, and often goes to bed very late when conducting other related research, and often performs the operation of "dream within a dream" in his sleep, but basically every time he is tired, as long as he sleeps and eats well, the recovery state of the body is relatively good, and there is no trend of organ lesions.

In terms of the talent and physical recovery ability of staying up late, Lao Xia is definitely SS-level among ordinary people.

If Lao Xia was his employee, then he would definitely be criticized as a black-hearted boss, and the intensity was close to 24x7.

Of course, this analogy is not very appropriate, after all, Lao Xia's net worth is much more than him, and now the money for the preparation of laboratories and research centers is all paid by Lao Xia.

Xiang Kun didn't need to go to the kitchen to check, as soon as he entered the door, he could already tell that Lao Xia had prepared a few meat rabbits for him just by the smell.

So although now after nightfall, the urge to drink blood has become stronger again, but when the blood source is ready, Xiang Kun did not immediately start drinking blood and falling asleep, but first took Lao Xia's notebook, next to Lao Xia's feet, sat in the corner of the sofa, and first looked at the extent of the discussion on the Internet about the Montamira incident last night.

While he was waiting at the airport to check in, he heard more than one person in the departure hall discussing Montamira with a friend.

And everyone's attention to the Montamira incident is on the illusion of the "eight-armed and eight-eyed monster", as for the impact of the riot itself, it has been diluted a lot, after all, under the influence of the emotional projection of the "eight-armed and eight-eyed wood carving", no tourists were killed in the riot last night, and the negative impact is much smaller.

While browsing the relevant discussions on major platforms, Xiang Kun was thinking about another question:

If the official institutions of various countries were aware of the existence of "mutant creatures", would they think that the illusion of the "eight-armed and eight-eyed monster" projected by emotions was created by "mutant creatures"? What kind of relevant investigations will there be, and what kind of adjustments or guidance will be made to the discussions on the Internet?

What will a giant like "Shenxing Technology" that is tracking, investigating, and researching "mutant creatures" do?

Will there be other mutant humans or "vampires" who see these news and have related associations?

After all, when he had just mutated before, when he searched for relevant information on the whole network, he couldn't find any useful information, which made him think that he was the first mutant, or that the relevant information was completely blocked.

But speaking of which, if he had just mutated and searched for these news on the Internet, he wouldn't have felt anything related to his "mutation" at all.

Even according to his usual way of thinking, he will speculate whether there is some kind of hallucinogenic gas leakage in the local area, which makes people in a small area hallucinate, and is affected by the same environmental factors, so that he sees the same shape of the "eight-armed and eight-eyed monster" hallucination, and he doesn't think that this will be related to any "mutant creature" - after all, the monster hallucination doesn't drink blood everywhere, does it?

This incident also makes Xiang Kun feel more and more strange, in today's mobile Internet era, the emotional projection of "eight-armed and eight-eyed wood carving", which can basically be realized afterwards as a hallucination and illusion, can cause such a big discussion on the Internet.

If it is the ontology of other "mutant creatures", such as the mutated bird, the previous mutant ants, mutant spiders, or "vampires" like Guo Tianxiang, who suddenly had a hot brain and was affected by the urge to drink blood, they ran wild in the central area of the city inhabited by humans, and were photographed and uploaded to the Internet, then there should be no way to completely block or tamper with the news, right?

In the era when television and print media are the main means of communication, and even in the era when the Internet has just developed, if you want to quickly curb the spread of certain news or news, as long as the response speed is fast enough, it can still be done, and the circulation of news can be restricted to local areas.

But in today's mobile Internet era, everyone is a "self-media", everyone has a strong ability to diffuse information, "small events" can be said, there are many ways to influence, interfere, many people witness and record "big events", but it is almost impossible to be completely restricted.

Like when Chang Bin got married before, he heard his old classmate Xie Jun talk about the "long-horned wolf crash incident" they encountered when they went to the field to test the car.

The kind of "mutant creatures" that only appear in remote areas and in front of a small number of people, if they are "dealt with" in a timely manner at the first time, there is indeed a way to suppress the news, so that the parties concerned are not clear about the situation and are not sure what they have seen and heard.

But if the "horned wolf" appears at an intersection in a downtown area, hits a car and escapes, it will be difficult to hide the news.

Unless...... There has never been a "mutant creature" that has gotten out of control in front of the public?

Xiang Kun felt that this possibility should be the greatest, but he couldn't figure out why there were no "mutant creatures" out of control in public, because according to his understanding of "mutant creatures", it didn't seem to be very reasonable.

Judging from the memories of mutant spiders and giant owls he obtained, although they understand the "danger of humans", they all have the behavior of spying on humans and human cities.

is like a giant owl, and in the end, it goes directly into the first-tier city where he was before.

They create "big events" in big cities, which are witnessed, recorded, and disseminated by a large number of people, and from the perspective of probability, it should be not small.

Xiang Kun didn't continue to think deeply about this question that he had thought about countless times before, and it was obvious that the information he had obtained was still flawed, but as he spied deeper into the "Divine Technology", he believed that he would soon know.

After operating on the computer for a while, Xiang Kun got up and went to the kitchen to drink blood.

After drinking the blood, after all the rabbit meat was processed and put in the refrigerator to freeze, Xiang Kuncai took a bath and prepared to sleep.

However, after looking at Xia Libing, who couldn't stretch on the sofa because her legs were too long, she could only curl up and sleep, Xiang Kun thought about it, and went over to pick her up, entered her room, put her on the bed, and helped her cover the quilt.

According to Xiang Kun's observation and deduction, she slept in that sleeping position just now, and it will definitely not be very comfortable to wake up tomorrow, and there is even a small probability that she may fall into a stiff neck, which is not conducive to the recovery of fatigue in the body, so it is better to carry her to the bed to sleep.

As for Xiang Kun himself, he casually found a blanket and laid the floor in the corner of the room, anyway, with his current body, the sleeping environment does not matter at all, it has no effect.

Not sleeping on the sofa in the living room is to avoid relatives and friends such as Xia Libing's third aunt and third uncle suddenly coming to the door before he finishes his sleep, and Lao Xia doesn't have the strength to carry him into the room and hide him when he is asleep.

Lying on the blanket, Xiang Kun glanced at Xia Libing on the bed not far away, and found that this seemed to be the first time that the two of them slept at the same time after he told Lao Xia the secret of mutation?

So before, whether it was in Lao Xia's house, or in his house, or in Chongyun Village's house, the two of them only needed one bed, because there was always only one person who needed to sleep.

Xiang Kun's eyelids slowly closed, and he also fell into a deep sleep in an instant.

However, less than two hours after he fell asleep, Xia Libing's mobile phone rang, and after five or six rings in the second round, Xia Libing on the bed finally opened his eyes.
