What Is The Experience of Becoming a Vampire?

Chapter 35. Hearing and Taste Synergy

Xiang Kun’s house is only 70 square meters, with two bedrooms and one living room. The balcony is not large, and it can even be said to be relatively small.

However, the better point is that the sight is not bad. It is far away from other high-rise buildings and you can see the mountains in the distance.

Xiang Kun didn’t move the chair out, so he lay directly on the balcony’s tiles-of course, the floor had been carefully wiped again.

In the night, Xiang Kun’s condition is particularly good. His body function has reached its peak, and his sensory abilities have undergone targeted training after the last three blood drinks, and then mutated and evolved, which has greatly improved.

However, due to the limitation of equipment, he could not make accurate tests and statistics. He used a mobile phone to make an app that can emit 1-22000 Hz sound, but this only tested the frequency range of the sound he heard. The method completely tests his overall hearing improvement. He also used a fixed sound source as a reference, then extended the distance, and used the longest distance to hear the sound as the criterion. However, this judgment method requires a relatively stable and stable environment, which is easy to be interfered with and difficult to accurately test.

The sense of smell is the same. They can only perform a relatively subjective approximate test.

Xiang Kun, lying on the balcony tile, closed his eyes, relaxed his body muscles, and focused all his attention on hearing and smell, primary hearing, and secondary smell.

For a while, the sound was rushing like a reservoir flood. Various noises staggered together, and so did the smell.

The human brain has a very mature mechanism for processing external information. It can be said to be a protection mechanism or a lazy mechanism.

When the attention is not on the sound or smell, although the hearing and olfactory organs have been collecting information, this information will be weakened, filtered or even blocked by the brain.

When attention is focused on sounds and odors, the information can be concentrated and enhanced according to the information that the attention focuses on, and other effects can be blocked.

But hearing a sound, smelling a scent, and locking a sensory message is one thing, and how to make a judgment from this sensory message is another.

It was like sitting alone at home and hearing a car whistling past.

If he was attracted by this voice, a subconscious picture of a car driving on the road outside the house would appear in his mind.

This picture can appear because he is very familiar with the road outside the house, he also heard the sound of cars, and saw the car speeding on the road outside the house.

And if you are more familiar with the sound of car engines and exhaust sounds, you can even directly distinguish whether the outside car is a four-cylinder or six-cylinder engine, whether it is Ford or Toyota, whether it is a broken diesel truck or supercar, the picture constructed in your mind will More specific and rich.

And this person sitting at home, hearing the crisp footsteps of da da da upstairs, will recognize that the sound is high heels, if you have not seen the residents upstairs, there may be a big girl in his mind. Long legs wearing high heels walking around, but if the resident upstairs has seen a 50-year-old aunt, then when you hear the sound of high-heeled shoes, it is a 50-year-old aunt walking.

The brain will make the necessary “brain supplements” based on its “database”, experience, logic and instinct.

So it’s one thing to be able to collect sensory information, and whether this information can really be useful and help the brain make judgments is another.

The reason why Xiang Kun lies directly on the ground is not because there are no chairs to move out and no blankets to lay on the ground, but because in this reinforced concrete building, in addition to air, the walls and the ground are the main sound Media, so lying on the ground and directly touching the ground, you can more easily hear the sound of the entire building.

In hearing all kinds of cluttered voices, Xiang Kun distinguished them carefully and began to screen slowly. Starting with the voice closest to himself, the closest is downstairs 608. The voice seems to be a middle-aged couple who is talking about going to college in the north. ‘S son, while the TV is on the news webcast.

To the side, there was a silence next door, no footsteps, no electric appliances, no talking sounds, no breathing sounds, but the sound of curtains being blown should be the window door closed, but the owner had not returned.

Then he heard the voice of the fat girl Liu Shiling she had seen during the day, so he located her voice as 706-he knew that the fat girl was 706.

Judging by the sound, the fat girl and mother are at home, her mother is urging her to take a bath, and she still refuses to watch the cartoon in front of the TV.

With 706 as the anchor point, Xiang Kun continued to distinguish the sound heard and made a judgment.

When hearing footsteps, he can judge others based on the structure of his home and other reference sounds, such as the sound of a water tap, the sound of turning on the gas, the sound of a cup, and other electrical appliances when they are turned on. Where in the home, or even in what mobile trend.

At the same time, he can also use scent to aid judgment. For example, when he hears the sound of a 402 spatula colliding and cooking food, and only matches the smell of the smell, he can determine what the other party is cooking, even the taste. Can guess an almost.

Moreover, the mutual verification of the smell and sound can also help him determine the location more accurately.

Time passed by little by little. From the outside, the lights in the entire community slowly turned off, and the sounds and movements of the households gradually became smaller.

It was more than one o’clock in the morning before Xiang Kun opened his eyes and sat up from the ground and stretched his waist.

He has used the sound and smell to move the whole building, every house and every house has “walked” again. Although I have actually met, told his first name, and only known him, there is only one fat girl Liu Shiling from 706, but this night, he recognized almost everyone by sound and smell, and even understood a lot of “secrets” Sim “.

Of course, Xiang Kun does not want to know the privacy of others, but is training.

Just as his muscle circumference improved, he began to train for endurance and agility. After his sensory ability increased rapidly, he needed to train his brain to process the acquired sensory information.

Just like two professional athletes with the same weight and similar muscle content, because of the different sports they engage in, the training they perform, the methods of exertion, and the results of exertion are naturally different. Professional boxers are naturally heavier than professional basketball players, and professional basketball players’ ability to complete basketball moves under the same confrontation is definitely better than professional boxers.

Therefore, Xiang Kun knew that it would be useless to strengthen his senses. He also needed to practice and know how to apply this powerful sense.

The 1st Rank segment is a collection of “samples” of sounds and odors that were not available before, and established a “database”, which has become the olfactory and auditory instincts.

Second Stage is what I do now, how to use sound and smell to help Xiang Kun determine the surrounding environment and situation, and become his “super eye”.

Don’t watch him take five or six hours to “walk” a building now. After he is familiar, maybe only one or two seconds, he can quickly locate any person in the building by sound and smell, even in Build a real-time hologram of the entire building in your brain.

Xiang Kun has discovered that while his sensory abilities are evolving, his brain is also evolving. At least now when immersed in multiple sounds at the same time, the nausea and dizziness at the beginning will no longer appear.

At 50:XNUMX the next morning, Xiang Kun went out with a sports bag and was ready to go to the gym-although it was far away from the previous gym, he had to take the subway and then the bus. It also took at least four or fifty minutes, but he I don’t plan to change places, after all, the Membership Card is already available, but I can’t refund it.

In addition, he does not intend to go by car, but intends to run directly. The process of running is also the process of training.

After going out, Xiang Kun happened to see that Liu Shiling of 706 was also going out. Behind her was a young woman who was relatively plump and had 70% similarity to her. She should be her mother.

“Bald Uncle!” Liu Shiling ran over to greet Xi Xiang when he saw Xiang Kun.

After hearing this greeting, her mother immediately administers the new tenant of the skeletal saddle sword, which is slowly disappearing, “Hard and hard to gather the new tenants of Ding 708?” Become a neighbor in the future, if there is anything you can help, just say. “

The fatty girl ran to press the elevator, and Xiang Kun talked to Shi Ling mother for a while, knowing that they were actually the 706 that they moved in this year, they were buying a house. Liu Shiling ’s father is an engineer who often is not at home, while Shi Ling mother is a full-time housewife, mainly to bring this only daughter.

Xiang Kun also made a simple self-introduction, saying that he is a programmer and has been working for seven years, but did not tell her that she is still unemployed.

They didn’t wait long. There are two elevators in one unit, and soon the descending elevator arrived.

ding dong, the elevator door opened, but a dog’s head came out, rushing, and Liu Shiling, who was standing at the entrance of the elevator, was getting frightened, took two steps back, almost fell, and Xiang Kun on the side hurry Give her a hold.

Looking back, the elevator was a 20-year-old girl who was only XNUMX years old, holding an adult husky, and that husky was obviously very excited. When she saw the elevator door opened, she wanted to throw it out. The girl was playing with the mobile phone in one hand and almost didn’t hold.

“PINKIE! PINKIE! STOP! Don’t move!” The girl turned to the dog with both hands and shouted loudly.

However, Husky still figured out continuously, and the fat girl outside the elevator was obviously frightened, with a timid look, holding Xiang Kun’s thigh afraid to speak.

Shiling mother obviously also knows this dog girl, frowns saying: “Young Lady Yang, your dog must be pulled well. This elevator has such a small space, the dog is so big, and the child is so small. Why is it bitten and caught do……”

Young Lady Yang pulled the dog and said without raising his head: “It’s okay, PINKIE just wants to play with children, it won’t bite, I’m holding it! … PINKIE! STOP! SIT! Quick SIT !!!”

Shiling mother is obviously not the first time to complain to this Young Lady Yang, and knows that it is useless, so she presses the elevator and said to Xiang Kun: “You go down first, we wait for the next step.”

Xiang Kun, however, took the girl by the hand and walked into the elevator together.

At first, the pretty girl was still a little scared and was not willing to go in, but when she saw that she was still very lively, how could the Young Lady Yang not be able to pull the husky, then she suddenly shrank behind Young Lady Yang, and her dog was close to the elevator. Wall seems to be shaking.

Xiang Kun turned to Shiling mother and said, “It’s okay, come in together.”
