Chapter 309: Controlling the Pearl
After eating supper, Xia Libing and Xiang Kun cleaned up the rest of the food together, cleaned up the garbage, and then went to wash her pair of chopsticks before leaving the reception room with a food box.
"Is there a microwave oven or an induction cooker or something where you're on duty? If you're hungry and want to eat those dishes, you'd better heat it up." Xiang Kun asked while going downstairs, Xia Libing still had a lot of unfinished dishes in his food box, and he basically prepared them for three people, so as not to have other colleagues on duty with Lao Xia.
"There is a microwave...... Hiccup~. Xia Libing hiccup again.
Xiang Kun suddenly stood still, then turned his head suddenly, "roar~", raised the hand that did not lift the food box and clenched it into a claw, opened his mouth wide, looked vicious, and made a fluttering bite with a hideous expression.
Xia Libing stood on the turntable of the stairs, overlooking Xiang Kun who was separated by four or five stairs, and his expression did not change: "What?"
Two seconds later, Xiang Kun withdrew his hand, touched his nose stupidly, and continued to carry the food box down the stairs: "I heard that if you are scared when you have a hiccups, it will be fine." ”
Xia Libing followed behind him, and said in a flat tone: "I'm not scared." ”
"Then go back and drink more hot water. Xiang Kun said casually, "You are on duty, you don't have to stay awake all the time at night, you can sleep, right?" He had learned before, like in general hospitals, doctors on duty can rest, only doctors like emergency and ICU are on night shift, and they can't rest.
"Hiccup~...... Can sleep. Xia Libing said.
"Okay, then you can rest early and have a happy new year. They had already left the comprehensive office building, Xiang Kun said while walking towards his electric car.
Xia Libing replied: "The New Year is coming soon...... Hiccup~"
She stood at the door of the complex building and watched Xiang Kun ride an electric car out of the hospital gate, and then turned around and walked to the ward on duty with a food box.
After riding an electric car out of the hospital, Xiang Kun did not ride far, but found a place that was not captured by surveillance and stopped against the outer wall of the hospital.
Since Lao Xia is with that pair of chopsticks, when he rests and sleeps tonight, he should also be within the influence of the chopsticks.
After today's communication in the supermarket, he felt that with Lao Xia's ability, he might have some other "discoveries" after entering the dream again.
I hope she doesn't "wake up" too early this time, or that she can keep the dream for a while after "waking up".
But now Lao Xia must not have slept yet, and the first thing he has to do is not to perceive the chopsticks, but to determine whether there are any "vampires" or mutated creatures in the hospital.
There is a high probability that there is no such thing, the patient who Lao Xia said before who thought he was a vampire did not look like a real vampire from the symptoms and physical condition described. But he subconsciously always felt that something was wrong and felt that he should confirm it.
Now, whenever this feeling arises, Xiang Kun chooses to trust his instincts even if he can't determine the reason for a while. Because his current perception ability is too strong and too mixed, a lot of information may not be able to process it correctly in an instant, giving him a result that he can understand, so it will only give him a subconscious intuitive feedback on what to do.
Xiang Kun naturally couldn't directly ask Lao Xia to take him into those fully enclosed wards, which was not in line with the rules of the hospital, and with Lao Xia's character, he would definitely refuse simply and simply: "No." ”
However, for him, it will not be more difficult to explore the hospital than to explore the secret research base and research center of "Shenxing Technology".
Xiang Kun hid the electric car, and then easily climbed over the hospital wall, basically causing no movement.
He evaded the surveillance in the hospital, found a safe route, and entered one of the wards, according to his induction, Lao Xia was on duty in this ward.
The indoor buildings where patients live here have relatively complete security measures, and identity cards are required to enter and exit, and there are multiple access controls, and there are more internal monitoring.
Xiang Kun really wants to sneak in, it's not completely impossible, but for the time being, what he wants to do now doesn't need to sneak inside the building.
He searched through the scent first, and there was no special smell of the mutated creature, and then took out a ball from his pocket that established a "supersensory connection".
Xiang Kun threw the ball through the vent on the first floor, and then closed his eyes to perceive it.
When the ball entered the vent, it began to roll forward at a uniform speed, as if it were not in inertial motion, but had a traction force acting on it.
According to the new ability that he "developed" on the way home, Xiang Kun has several derivative applications, one is to interfere with various electronic devices, the second is the method of saving the old man who had a heart attack at the station, and the third is to control the relatively precise movement of the items of the "super sensory connection", especially those relatively light and small objects, which affect themselves and the magnetic field in a certain direction, forming an orbit similar to that in electromagnetic emission technology to affect their own motion.
Not only metals, such as balls and coins, but also paper and wood. When inducting, the "hypersensory" object itself will also carry a magnetic field, wrapping itself into a whole with special properties.
Previously, Xiang Kun could only weakly interfere with the direction of movement of some "super-conjugsants", such as shooting arrows slightly off, throwing paper airplanes to change direction or fly more smoothly, and fine-tuning the landing point of the balls popped out of the slingshot in the air, etc.
Later, this control became much stronger, and even coins and balls could be suspended, allowing them to move against their bodies. You can also use the "supersensory state" to perform pre-manipulation before throwing them out, so that they can perform some pre-set and non-inertial movements after being thrown.
However, it is difficult to control them completely from static to dynamic, and to move relatively long distances and with precision.
However, after several new abilities for the "super-union" developed by Chubby Niu, Xiang Kun has found a more efficient and accurate way to control the "super-union".
The key to mastery is not in themselves, but around them.
They should not be thought of as cars or planes, but as trains. When they are affected by Xiang Kun and start to have a tendency to move, you can lay a track in the direction you want them to move, and lay them while running.
After being influenced by Xiang Kun, the "superunion" did not simply "create" the magnetic field, but used and stirred the existing magnetic field around it for its own use. It's like there are countless railroad tracks around, but there is no order, and under Xiang Kun's idea, a pole is stretched out on the "train", and with a few clicks, the track in front of it is instantly reorganized and laid in the direction it needs, leading it forward.
Now, the ball is rolling forward in this way.
After a while, the ball fell from the vent in the building, bounced twice on the ground, and continued to roll slowly.
In fact, if it is at close range, Xiang Kun can control the ball to directly suspend and translate, but the speed is too fast, it is not easy to control accurately, and now Xiang Kun can't use this method to control the "super-link" too far away from himself, beyond a certain distance, it will be very "difficult", and he can't achieve precise control, after all, after entering the building, he can't see it.
Therefore, using a relatively weak force traction to make the ball roll is the most "labor-saving" and the easiest way to accurately control the air.
......
In a certain duty room, a female nurse in her forties who was holding a mobile phone suddenly raised her head, looked out of the door, frowned slightly, and pushed another nurse who was wearing headphones and watching the party next to her: "Did you hear it, it seems to be something?"
"What's the sound?" replied to his companion, looking up in surprise as he removed his headphones from one side.
"It's the sound of the beads falling to the ground, as if they're still rolling. The female nurse frowned.
Her companion said: "In the reinforced concrete building, it is normal to have this kind of sound in the middle of the night, it seems to be thermal expansion and contraction or something, you search on the Internet, there is a principle." ”
The female nurse frowned: "No, it's not that kind of sound, it's really a bead rolling, and there is still a sound." ”
"Maybe Dr. Xia dropped something upstairs, Dr. Xia is also strange, we are on duty on Chinese New Year's Eve that there is no way, it has been arranged a long time ago, Dr. Xia obviously does not need to be on duty, but he still took the initiative to apply, didn't he hear that the vice president is her relative, don't you understand?" said the companion.
"No, I'll check it out, don't have any patient doing something. The female nurse said, put away her phone, got up and walked out of the duty room.
But as soon as she reached the aisle, the sound of beads rolling that she had just heard was gone.
She frowned for a moment, then walked around the room, nothing unusual, and no more beads rolling.
After returning to the duty room, the female nurse just sat down, picked up her mobile phone and prepared to continue, but she faintly heard the sound of beads rolling, and it was vaguely in the corridor outside.
So she jerked to her feet, rushed to the door, and looked in, but there was still nothing outside the door, and the rolling sound was gone again.
"What's wrong with you? It can't be that you're hallucinating all night, are you?Do you want to go up to Dr. Xia to have a look?" Seeing her going in and out like this, moving so big, and with such a solemn expression, her companion stopped watching the party, took off her headphones and said.
"You really didn't hear the beads?" asked the nurse.
"I just had headphones on, and of course I didn't hear them. The companion listened for a while, shook his head and confirmed again, "No, I didn't hear you." ”
"Not now. The female nurse walked back to the duty room and sat down.
But this time, after she sat down, the sound of the beads rolling didn't sound again, which made her wonder if she was hallucinating just now, or was it the natural sound of the building's thermal expansion and contraction?
The companion suddenly started talking about sex and said, "Hey, you know, I heard a rumor that Dr. Liu was taken away from his home by the police last night, and I don't know what happened. ”
The female nurse nodded: "I know about that, it seems that he did a forensic appraisal before, and he received the money, but then he regretted it, he didn't do it, and returned the money." The person who sent the money yesterday was caught in an accident and recruited him......"
"The money is returned, nothing has been done, Dr. Liu should not be sentenced, right?"
"It's hard to say, after all, he had planned to do it. ”
While the two nurses were talking about gossip, they didn't notice that at the edge of the empty hallway outside the duty room, a small ball was "carefully" rolling along the junction between the wall and the floor. Because of the special material of the junction, the ball rolls on it, and the sound is almost inaudible.
Before, Xiang Kun didn't know the structure of the building, he didn't do his "homework" in advance, and the ball bead didn't have "eyes", so he could only rely on himself to judge the direction through sound, so the trajectory of the ball was a bit chaotic, and in the closed building in the silence and late night, it would inevitably cause some movement, which attracted the attention of the nurse.
However, the nurse's voice also alerted Xiang Kun, so he tried to find the contact surface of the edge of the wall by rolling and trying to reduce the noise.
The reason why Xiang Kun wants to get this ball into the building is to "control" it and let it move slowly, in order to position it.
When he was downstairs, he could smell the various smells in the building, but these smells were too large and complex, and in the absence of a positioning reference, he could not trace the source of the smell, especially in the "super sensory state".
According to the previous chat with Lao Xia, he knew that the patient who thought he was a "vampire" must have a red liquid to eat. Therefore, he focused on distinguishing the smell of tomato paste, tomato juice, radish juice, watermelon juice and other foods that the hospital is most likely to provide to him, so if the patient always eats these things, there will definitely be a stronger smell on his body and in the room than in other rooms.
Once he has determined the flavor and the direction of the taste, he needs to use the ball to locate it.
He hadn't entered this building, and he couldn't accurately locate it with a ball bead alone, but now Lao Xia in the building still has a "super union" coin on his body, plus the "super combination" on his own body, he can make a relatively accurate positioning, so that he knows that the location of the ball ball is consistent with the source of the smell of judgment.
After Xiang Kun eliminated the kitchen, garbage cans, warehouses and other places, he quickly parked the ball outside a ward, and he speculated that the people in the ward that the ball corresponded to should be the "vampire patient" who couldn't do without the "red liquid" for every meal.
Next, Xiang Kun found a hidden corner and sat down, closed his eyes and entered the "supersensory state", and began to perceive the cognitive information of the building.
In the "supersensory state", the "love object" is equivalent to the "portal", and the "super-link" is equivalent to the buoy that helps him locate in the vast sea, and the lever used to "pry" the real world.
He immediately found the cognitive information that represented the orb, and then perceived the cognitive information of the patient in the ward according to the direction of the orb.
In the "supersensory state", he could already determine in an instant that there were no "mutated creatures" in this building, but he still had to determine whether there was something wrong with this "vampire patient", which was why he "arranged" the ball to help locate it.
Xiang Kun has been exposed to a lot of cognitive information expressed by human beings in the "supersensory state", and he can already interpret the meaning of some of the information.
In his observations, the "vampire patient" was a woman, and she was very tall, expected to be more than 1.8 meters, but she was supposed to be very thin and in good shape.
Xiang Kun observed for a long time, and from that cognitive information, he didn't see anything very obvious different from normal humans, but he still felt a faint sense of wrongness.
He knew that there was something wrong with this "vampire patient".
For the time being, though, he doesn't know what the problem is.
Xiang Kun compared her cognitive information with the cognitive information of other patients and nurses around her, and sure enough, she found some differences, these differences are not everyone's individual differences, but her special independence from the whole group, there are no patients in other wards around, only she has.
However, for the time being, Xiang Kun is unable to parse what the real information represented by these cognitive information is, and he will only know after he actually comes into contact with this "vampire patient".
After exiting the "supersensory state", Xiang Kun did not continue to explore the situation of the "vampire patient", nor did he plan to enter and contact the patient tonight - it was too difficult and unnecessary to do this without alarming people and leaving no traces.
He was in a hurry to confirm tonight, just to rule out the possibility that there were mutated creatures in the Third Courtyard that might pose a threat to Lao Xia.
And at present, the "vampire patient" is not a mutated creature, not a real "vampire", even if there is a problem, it will not pose a threat to Lao Xia for the time being.
Xiang Kun didn't take the orb back, and let it burrow into the ward where the "vampire patient" was, staying in a corner against the wall.
