What Is The Experience of Becoming a Vampire?

Chapter 20 Hearing and Smell

Xiang Kun watched the video a bit embarrassing, and he found that there were videos from other angles in the highlighted reply, but they were relatively unclear. Obviously, not only one person took the video at that time.

He even saw the video from the surveillance camera. I don’t know if it was uploaded by the grocery store Boss.

Xiang Kun had a big head. After returning the phone to the reporter, he still had to leave the house on the pretext of having something to do.

After walking on the street for a while, Xiang Kun felt that this matter was not a big deal. When he stopped the murderer, he did not at all show anything beyond the capabilities of ordinary person. As long as he insisted on not accepting interviews and not showing his face, Keep a low profile, and when this thing passes, no one will pay attention to him again.

After all, netizens are only concerned about this incident.

Xiang Kun went to the busiest part of the city, then went to a drink shop by the roadside, bought a drink, eyes half-squinted, and sat at the door, seemingly dozing off.

But in fact, he focused his attention on hearing.

The voices of shop assistants behind the drinks shop, the orders of customers, the footsteps and talking of pedestrians outside, the sound of cars driving on the road further away, the sound of horns, the sound of broadcasts and music from promotional activities in nearby malls, various All kinds of sounds are distinguished in Xiang Kun’s mind one after another.

Then he locked one of the sounds and began to concentrate on “capturing”.

For example, when you hear a certain footstep, you keep looking for the footstep, feel its movement and position, estimate the distance from yourself, the material of the sole, and so on, until the sound goes away, you can no longer hear it.

In this way, Xiang Kun relies on hearing to “construct” the surroundings in his consciousness.

After the last blood drink, Xiang Kun found that his hearing had improved a lot, and he was better than ordinary person.

After the third blood drinking, Xiang Kun adjusted his training plan, reduced the proportion of strength training, and increased physical agility and balance training, especially targeted training for vision, hearing, and smell. Made a lot of plans.

Xiang Kun sat at the door of the beverage shop from more than ten in the morning to more than five in the afternoon. His eyes had not been opened and his buttocks had not moved. The people in the beverage shop estimated that he was asleep.

At XNUMX:XNUMX in the afternoon, Xiang Kun eyes opened, stretched a lazy waist, as if he really fell asleep, then got up and left the drink shop, and threw the cup of milk tea directly into the trash can-in fact he took a sip Did not drink.

Xiang Kun not at all went home, but continued his training for hearing.

He walked on the street, looking for various sound sources at random to track.

Sometimes when you see someone talking or making a phone call from afar, you slowly approach and shorten the distance until you can hear the other person’s conversation faintly. Then you can open the distance continuously and increase the maximum distance you can hear the sound.

Sometimes it is to lock one randomly in a bunch of sounds, and then trace the source of the sound, such as one of a bunch of footsteps, such as a dog bark that is out of sight, such as a cell phone ringing somewhere.

Sometimes it is centered on a fixed and continuous sound source, such as a radio in a shopping mall, the music of a clothing store, or even the sound of some machines, slowly pulling away.

For hearing training, Xiang Kun’s method is to listen more, distinguish more, and find and exercise the limits of hearing.

In the next few days, everyday all took almost ten hours to walk around the street, listen to various types of sounds, and perform auditory training.

Xiang Kun found that the training effect was much better at night than during the day.

Not only are the various body functions stronger at night, the mental state is better, and the hearing is more sensitive, but the various noises at night are much less and relatively quiet. For him at this stage, it is easier to train.

So Xiang Kun still went to the gym to exercise during the day, and wandered around the street at night, searching for various sounds randomly.

As a result, I heard a lot of sounds I didn’t think of before, such as the sounds of various insects in the grass and the ditch, the sound of crawling, such as the rattle of rats, and the various materials in various buildings due to thermal expansion. The sounds of cold shrinkage or other vibrations, such as the different sounds when the wind blows through the streets and roads of different structures, and some very subtle sounds, he can’t even find a specific place.

In addition to hearing, Xiang Kun also conducts olfactory training. Like auditory training, it also distinguishes and tracks various odors.

However, although the sense of smell and the sense of hearing are both trained on the street, they are separated during training, because at this stage, if they listen and smell at the same time, both senses cannot fully concentrate and interfere with each other. .

So when he first trained his sense of smell, he would find a place to sit down, close his eyes, put on earplugs, and seal off these two main senses, and only use his nose to perceive the surroundings and distinguish the various sources of smell in the surrounding odor.

Compared with sound, smell is actually more difficult to distinguish and difficult to train. Many times, a strong odor suppresses other odors. After staying in an environment for a while, the nose adapts to the surrounding odor, and the sensitivity of the odor to the odor will decrease.

So sometimes, he even deliberately chooses places that have a relatively large and complex taste, such as garbage dumps, smelly ditches, smelly ponds, or food streets, snack streets, etc. for training.

On the evening of July 7, Xiang Kun did not go out after returning from the gym because he felt hunger again.

Counting, it is almost six days since the last blood drinking, which is about the same as the last statistical time.

This time, Xiang Kun did not perform the endurance experiment again. After feeling hungry, he treated the remaining rabbit in the family and drank about 165ml of rabbit blood.

Then sleepiness struck, Xiang Kun picked up the phone and set an alarm, which rang after 23 hours.

He wanted to see if he could be awakened by noise during his deep sleep.

The reason is that after 23 hours, I still worry that if I get noisy too early and get insufficient sleep, I don’t know if it will have too much impact on my body.

The alarm duration is set to 1 minute and repeated 3 times.

……

When Xiang Kun eyes opened again, he was lying on the bed for a moment. He vaguely felt that this World seemed to be a little different, but after lying for a few minutes and thinking for a while, he didn’t think of the difference. .

Sit from the bed, pick up the mobile phone and see that she was not awakened by the alarm. It seems that in the sleep period after drinking blood, you can’t wake yourself up by the sound of the alarm.

I just do n’t know if I would wake up if I had physical contact. How much physical contact is required?

As for the time of this sleep, 25 hours and 27 minutes, still within the previous statistical scope, and there has been no change.

Xiang Kun suddenly felt a bit noisy in the room, and even heard the sound of chat and bragging from people drinking at the roadside stalls outside, thinking that he had forgotten to close the window before going to bed.

Xiang Kun froze for a moment, then he realized that it was not that the noise outside was getting louder, but his hearing was getting stronger.
