Chapter 44: Memory

Xiang Kun first used the computer to open Jingdong and bought a 1199 Redmi mobile phone, his previous mobile phone was also a thousand-yuan machine, it was used for more than a year, and it was broken like that, and there was no need to repair it at all.

Anyway, he used to spend most of his time in front of the computer, and his mobile phone basically didn't install games, and he rarely even watched videos, at most he brushed Zhihu on the subway, GITHUB, CSDN, and read e-books, etc., and now most of his energy and time are on training for mutations, and the most used functions of mobile phones are timekeeping, and flashlights......

And now there is no income, there is a crisis of sitting on the mountain, buying a mobile phone that is too expensive, in case it is broken again, there is no money to replace it.

After taking a look, the warehouse in the city has goods, and it is expected to be delivered in the afternoon.

By the way, I found a free shipping on Taobao, the cheapest black-framed flat glasses, the previous pair of glasses were broken when they were by the lake, and I still had to buy a new replacement to maintain a familiar image in front of acquaintances.

Then Xiang Kun began to do what he had to do every time he woke up, measuring and counting the various data of his body.

IN TERMS OF WEIGHT, HE HAS RISEN BY 1.4KG, AND HIS WEIGHT HAS REACHED 95.4KG.

The body temperature did not drop much, 27.4°C.

Perhaps because of the two fights with the giant owl, he suffered many heavy injuries on his body, which made his body feel that he was in extreme danger and needed to improve his recovery ability, so this time his recovery speed from the knife wound was greatly improved, from 12 minutes and 23 seconds to 10 minutes and 55 seconds - this is still when the recovery ability is suppressed during the day, if the recovery speed is about 20% after sunrise in the past According to the calculation, the recovery time after sunset should be about 9 minutes 05 seconds to 9 minutes 06 seconds, which is a huge improvement.

The improvement of smell and hearing, for the time being, I can't make a very specific statistics, but subjectively speaking, the improvement can be felt obviously.

There is another thing that Xiang Kun accidentally discovered, that is, his bones seem to have changed, comparing the photos at the beginning of the mutation and the current one on the computer, the width of the shoulders and the length of the arms seem to have changed, and then compare carefully, it seems that the height has also become a little taller?

Xiang Kun stood by the wall and made a mark, and then measured it with a meter ruler.

At 179.7cm, I became tall definitely.

In the previous company's physical examination, the height data was 177.5cm, although measured in different time periods in the morning and evening, there will be some differences in the measurement of different measuring instruments, and the height of 178.9 was also measured during the physical examination in college, but even if he is used as a reference for that height, he is now nearly 1cm longer.

It's a pity that after the first mutation, he didn't measure the height, shoulder width, and arm length, after all, he didn't think that even his bones would change.

However, after the fight with the giant owl last night, he was not too surprised that he was now starting to develop his bones twice.

He's been thinking about a dream he'd had since he fell asleep drinking the blood of an owl last night — the first time he'd had dreamed since his body mutated on July 11.

He didn't pay much attention to it when he first woke up, but now that he thought about it, he suddenly realized that it might not have been just a dream.

The picture in the dream is similar to the picture of more than 1 second after Xiang Kun tasted the owl's blood before, and it is all moving from the first perspective of the owl.

This time, in the dream, what Xiang Kun saw was no longer just a 1-second picture, but a lot of pictures, but the chronological order was very confusing, there seemed to be no logical connection, and the scene jumped a lot, piled up one after another for him to see.

And a lot of it is the footage of somersaults or dives in the air, and to be honest, the experience is not very good.

But now when Xiang Kunyi recalls the picture in the dream, he finds that he can even call up the picture that he "saw" in the dream again and "watch" it again.

It's completely different from how you feel when you recall what you've seen in real life, or other memories.

It's like opening a small window in your own brain to navigate through other people's experiences in the first person.

Yes, the images he saw in his dreams should be the memories of the giant owl.

I only licked a mouthful of blood before, so I only got a picture of more than 1 second.

Later, Xiang Kun could almost be said to have drunk the blood of the owl, so he directly had a dream and got a lot of memories that originally belonged to the giant owl.

Is it true that memory information is stored in the blood, and the more you drink, the more you get?

He had drunk chicken blood and rabbit blood before, but he had never seen any pictures. It seems that this trait only exists in mutated creatures like him and the giant owl, and if that owl drinks his blood, will he be able to see his memories as well?

It's just that these pictures have no time ordering, no regularity, and they really make people look very big.

I don't know if it's because the owl's IQ is not high enough, so the memory is confused, or if it's the memory obtained through this method, it's all like this.

The useful information in those memories still needs to be analyzed and extracted slowly, but a few points can already be determined.

One is that the owl was not born so special, it is the same as Xiang Kun, it is an acquired mutation. It's just that how and how to mutate still needs to slowly dig out those memory pictures.

The second is that the owl is indeed the same as Xiang Kun, and after the mutation, it lives by drinking the blood of other creatures. Judging from the picture he saw, at least the number of creatures that this owl had killed and the number of times it had eaten after mutation was much more than that of Xiang Kun.

The third is that the owl did live in a deep mountain, and later it was indeed found that Xiang Kun killed the rabbit in the garbage dump, so it targeted Xiang Kun, but it didn't seem to be able to accurately track Xiang Kun's location, and it should have been just an accident when it bumped into Xiang Kun who was looking for a dog by the lake.

As for why it left the mountains and entered the city, there is no answer for the time being, but judging from those images, Xiang Kun is indeed the first human it attacked.

Obviously, this owl can become so big and continue to fly thanks to the same mutation as Xiang Kun.

For owls, birds of prey that need to hunt for a living, their way of survival is hunting, and the direction of mutation is naturally to have a more powerful predatory ability - after getting bigger, its prey does become more abundant, and its sharp claws can even pierce the hard skin of wild boars.

The IQ of this owl has also increased to a certain extent with the mutation.

Xiang Kun couldn't help but guess whether the prototype of those spirit legends in history was this kind of mutated animal?

Xiang Kun was even thinking that if a mutated animal was originally raised by humans and had a strong urge and need to communicate with people, would it be possible to evolve the ability to speak through mutation again and again?

And the fact that it turns into powder and completely dissipates after death may also be the reason why legends are always legends and there is no evidence?

Of course, these are just speculations.

Xiang Kun had always wanted to find the same "case" as himself, but he didn't expect to find the closest one in the end, which turned out to be an owl.

And the owl wanted to kill himself, and finally died in his own hands, and the blood was drunk by himself.

Xiang Kun couldn't help but wonder, could he be the first mutated human being?
