Of course, Xia Libing remembered the chubby little girl in the video, when she went to Xiang Kun's house for dinner for the first time, Xiang Kun went to the house next door to "borrow rice", and she saw the little girl standing at the door of 706 next door to "greet" Xiang Kun.

She didn't think there was anything strange about Xiang Kunjiao's little girl flipping coins, but watching the video, she felt that the little girl's way of flipping coins was a little peculiar.

Obviously, the technique is different from that of adults, and it is more suitable for the size of the little girl's fingers.

So in her opinion, if the flipping of coins is taught to the little girl by Xiang Kun, it should not be like this.

This technique seems to be more like the little girl has figured it out herself, which may also explain why she is so skilled.

But there is nothing surprising about this, except that this little girl is particularly interested and talented in flipping coins.

Next, Xia Libing watched the coin flipping instruction video on Yang Zhen'er's mobile phone and Xiang Kun sent to her today, fiddled with it a few times, and quickly mastered the trick.

"Lao Xia, you also join our gambling appointment...... Hey, I'll go, Lao Xia, have you practiced before?" Before Yang Zhen'er could finish encouraging Lao Xia to participate in their "Coin Flipping Learning Competition", she had already seen the coin flip steadily and smoothly on Xia Libing's slender fingers, and the coin tended to be faster and more proficient, as if the coin and Xia Libing's fingers were one mechanical part.

Xia Libing turned over the coin and put it in the palm of his hand, and said, "I haven't practiced, I just learned, this is my win, right?"

"Win a yarn! No!" Yang Zhen'er glanced at her, and couldn't help but complain: "You are the same as Chef Xiang, you are both monsters, and you learn things too fast, you are not human at all!"

Tang Baona next to her couldn't help laughing: "Zhen'er, did you win a bet with Lao Xia once?"

Originally, before graduating from high school, Xia Libing had short hair, but it wasn't until the summer vacation after graduating from high school that Yang Zhener made a bet and lost the bet, so he began to grow long hair.

As for the content of the bet, it is actually very simple, that is, whoever can make Xia Tianhuo call "sister" first will win.

In fact, both of them have to be called Brother Xia Tianhuo, one is a cousin and the other is a cousin.

However, just when Xia Libing was still designing an exquisite plan and a complex plan to guide her cousin to call her "sister", Yang Zhener called her directly, and forced Xia Tianhuo to call "sister" reluctantly and vaguely at the cost of promising to introduce her to a beautiful female teacher in the university on a blind date, plus a dinner in a luxurious restaurant.

Lao Xia was convinced, and since then he has grown long hair.

But after that, there was a bet between the two sisters, and Yang Zhen'er never won again.

"Alas, the simple and lovely old Xia can no longer be seen, since I went to college to study medicine and psychology, I can't bet with her, I feel like she is like a roundworm in my stomach, I think she can guess anything. Yang Zhen'er said with a melancholy expression.

Tang Baona asked, "Lao Xia, how did you learn so quickly and turn so smoothly, what is the trick?"

Xia Libing tossed the coin in the palm of his hand with his thumb, returned it to the back of his hand, and let it sit between the index knuckle and middle knuckle, and then said: "Just control the position of the coin on the finger knuckle, move the back finger, send the front finger, let it flip the position just between the middle knuckle and the ring knuckle, and then repeat the previous action." ”

As she spoke, she demonstrated, and the coins flipped steadily and smoothly, just like the demo video Xiang Kun sent to them, Tang Baona and Yang Zhen'er sighed helplessly.

"You use the word 'only' well!" Yang Zhen'er said angrily: "We just can't do what you said! Lao Xia, is there any skill that we 'mortals' can also learn?"

Xia Libing thought for a while and simply said two words: "Practice more." ”

"Ahh

Tang Baona pursed her lips and smiled: "You can't beat her......"

Yang Zhen'er was speechless.

Xia Libing was playing with coins and asked seemingly casually, "Are those jokes that You Meng and Xiang Kun told today so funny? I see that you both laughed a lot." ”

"It's funny!" Yang Zhen'er replied subconsciously.

Tang Baona frowned and thought about it, and then said: "Actually, the joke they told was not very funny, but when it came out of the two of them, they felt very funny, this should be the acting ability, and many talk show performances on TV seem to be like this." In terms of funny, in fact, last night's jokes were a little more interesting, and if you think about it carefully, tonight's jokes are not so funny. I think the environment of You Meng's hotel may also have something to do with it, under the specific light and atmosphere, it is easier for people to laugh when such a large group of friends get together. ”

Xia Libing nodded thoughtfully, and asked Xiang Kun about the jokes she told in the hotel last night when she didn't come, and whether Xiang Kun had any other jokes when they were playing together in the past few months when she was away.

In Xia Libing's view, from the first contact in August to the present, Xiang Kun's behavior patterns and habits have been changing for several months.

At first, she thought that she had a problem with Xiang Kun's personality cognition and was not perfect enough. But later, with the further increase in contact, especially when Xiang Kun returned to Thorn Tong City before, they bought vegetables, cooked, and ate together, which made her realize that her previous perception of Xiang Kun was actually not wrong, and his various behaviors that did not match his personality should have other internal driving forces, and those behaviors themselves needed to be specifically analyzed.

It's like Xiang Kun sent her lyrics written in calligraphy, judging from Xiang Kun's reaction later, her analysis is in the right direction, but she hasn't come up with a definite result yet.

And today Xiang Kun performed a funny joke for everyone, although on the surface it was instigated by everyone, but judging from Tang Baona and Yang Zhener's descriptions, Xiang Kun also took the initiative to do such a performance last night, and from her observation today, Xiang Kun also wanted to do this performance subjectively.

Whether it is her judgment of Xiang Kun's personality in the past or today's actual observation, Xia Libing can judge that Xiang Kun is not the kind of person who wants to please others through his "performance" and has a strong need for other people's recognition and appreciation.

Unless he is focused on something and has a strong love for something, he will take the initiative to show it. Cooking counts, wood carving barely counts, calligraphy rubs edges, singing and telling jokes, and talk shows are obviously not.

On the surface, Xiang Kun is to entertain everyone, and the other is to find operating programs and gimmicks for this hotel, but Xia Libing always feels that Xiang Kun has other purposes.

Just like Xiang Kun gave her the brush words before, according to her judgment, even if Xiang Kun wants to send her words, he must think that he can get his hands on it, and sending such a pop song lyrics written on rough-edged paper can only barely be called neat, which does not conform to her perception of Xiang Kun.

Similarly, if Xiang Kun wants to tell jokes and jokes, normally, it must be carefully prepared, very funny and funny.

Judging from the reactions of other people at the time, the effect was really good, but she noticed that everyone's emotions didn't seem to be because of the joke itself, from the rhythm point of view, it was like a person who was knocked down by a heavy punch, before the person who punched raised his hand, he had already fallen to the ground and began to twitch, and that punch came over, only aggravating this reaction.

Whether it is Xiang Kun or You Meng's jokes, other people's expressions and body postures are the same as in advance, which does not conform to her usual observation rules.

But she can't make an accurate judgment on how those paragraphs are, so she needs to seek reference from Tang Baona and Yang Zhen'er.

After staying in Tang Baona's room until about one o'clock in the morning, Xia Libing prepared to go back to his room.

"Old Xia, coins. Tang Baona was a little embarrassed and pointed to the one-yuan coin that had been held in Lao Xia's hand just now.

When Xia Libing returned the coin to her, Yang Zhen'er said next to her: "That's the lucky coin that Xiang Kun gave to Nana, but I think he made it up blindly, let's take the two identical coins and let him guess, he may not be able to guess which one he gave it." ”

Hearing this, Xia Libing, who was already about to put the coin in Tang Baona's hand, took his hand back and took a closer look at the coin in his palm.

On the face of it, the coin was no different, and it had been playing with the ice for a long time, and its weight and shape were no different from ordinary coins.

Tang Baona looked at her posture and said with a smile: "The so-called lucky coin refers to the psychological definition, and this coin itself will not be anything special...... Hey?!"

Before she finished speaking, she saw Xia Libing take the coin and bite it.

Yang Zhen'er was taking a sip of milk, and when she saw this scene, she squirted out directly, coughing and laughing while holding her stomach.

"Lao Xia, how does it taste, salty or not......

Xia Libing's face did not change, he took out a tissue and wiped the coin, and returned it to Tang Baona.

Back in her room, Xia Libing picked up the "black circle graffiti" that Xiang Kun gave her when she picked her up in the morning, put it on the table, took out a pen and paper from her bag, and tried to repeat the black circle from the inside out in the notebook, thinking while drawing.

The lines she draws do not seek to be exactly the same as Xiang Kun's, but only to think about Xiang Kun's possible thoughts and ideas when painting these things.

The more she draws, the more certain she is that this is not a random scribble.

The black circles, arcs, and strokes on the paper were drawn quickly, steadily, and smoothly, as if there was already a definite pattern in my mind, and it was rapidly reappearing.

She seemed to see Xiang Kun holding a gel pen, swiping quickly on the B5 notebook, engrossed.

After a while, she took out the calligraphy words that Xiang Kun had given her before from her bag and compared them.

These two pieces of paper, one is a black circle pattern torn from a B5 notebook that looks like a random drawing, and the other is a brush written on rough-edged paper used to practice calligraphy.

If it is an ordinary person, even Tang Baona and Yang Zhener, who already have a good relationship with Xiang Kun, will probably feel a little inexplicable or funny when they receive the two "gifts" from these two, especially the second one.

But Xia Libing will think very carefully and seriously about what the "things" written and drawn on these two pieces of paper represent, and the purpose of sending these two things to Kun to her.

Because she knows very well that Xiang Kun is the most special and unique person she has observed and come into contact with, and there is no one.

Xiang Kun's particularity is likely to be stronger than her.

She felt that Xiang Kun seemed to be sending her a message through these things.

But why not in a more direct way?

Xiang Kun must have discovered her anomaly as well, but how many have she found?

Does it have anything to do with the word "painting" he sent?

......

Xiang Kun didn't return to the hotel until after five o'clock in the morning, and he not only searched the main peak last night, but also briefly searched several surrounding mountains.

Because the focus is on the ants, the search for perceptual information has a clear target, so it is easy to locate the affected area.

Xiang Kun is actually a little puzzled: in his opinion, even if this side is still a mountainous area, it is also a famous scenic spot, and the daily flow of people is not small, if its body has obvious mutations, it is actually not safe here, there is always the possibility of being discovered, and the types of food are also limited.

As long as you go deeper to the west, close to the direction of Tongshi Town, the popularity of the scenic spot will decrease, and the number of tourists will decrease, and the human influence will be much less, and its free movement area will be much larger, and there will be more blood sources.

Like the giant owl and the mutant spider, as the number of blood drinks and mutations increases, the habitat continues to move deep into the mountains, unless there is a phased change in the demand for blood drinking, and there is a rigid need for the blood of other mutant creatures, they will leave the habitat and venture through or enter human territory.

And judging from the impact time of the decline of the ant colony, the time for this mutant creature to appear in this mountain is not short.

So why did this mutant creature stay here all this time?

Is there something about this place that makes it difficult to give up, or is it simply "hard to leave home"?

Moreover, Xiang Kun speculated that the mutant creature may not have taken a single ant as the hunting target, but directly used the queen ant as the blood-drinking hunting target.

Otherwise, the ants will not disappear so completely.

Judging from the structure of the underground nest with its peculiar smell, it is clear that it will not be the mutated bird that inhabits here, either the ant mutation, or other insects with similar habits.

And if the big bird appears here, there is a high probability that it is coming at it.

As for the specific situation, now that the big bird has completed the killing, got what it wanted, drank blood and left, or let it escape, or was killed by the counter-killing, based on the description of Chu Xiuwen and others and the investigation here, it is difficult to get an exact result.

Xiang Kun didn't have the motivation and need to find the mutant creatures on the mountain and the whereabouts of the mutated big bird, he was actually more concerned about whether the anomalies he noticed would attract the attention of others, so as to discover at least two mutated creatures lurking here, such as "Shenxing Technology".
