What Is The Experience of Becoming a Vampire?

Chapter 37 A Dead Mouse

This is a smell that Xiang Kun has never smelled. It is not a cat, a dog, or any other animal he knows, but he is not surprised. After all, his “database” of scent is very limited, and basically “Collecting” in downtown.

What animal is it?

Xiang Kun suddenly became curious, and when he was curious, he had to find the result.

He turned back, turned on the cell phone light again, took a branch, and examined the mouse’s body.

There were a lot of insects that Xiang Kun couldn’t name on the mouse’s body. When the branch was moved, these insects fled under the light of the mobile phone. Some of them burrowed into the grass and some of them burrowed into the soil. There are also many tiny tapeworms crawling.

If you saw this kind of scene in the past, Xiang Kun might feel that the scalp is numb and nauseous, but now it doesn’t feel much when you look at it, and you can even distinguish the odor and the sound of the worms when they look at it.

After a check, it should have been a while since the mouse died, but he didn’t know how to judge the dead time accurately based on the degree of decay.

Xiang Kun smelled it carefully again. The smell that made him feel strange just now. The source should have already left. If not here, the smell is very inconspicuous and is about to dissipate.

It’s quite possible that the source of the smell was the predator that killed the rat.

But what made him a little strange was that although the dead mouse had a terrible death, not at all was relatively complete without arms and legs, and it seemed that the internal organs had not been eaten after being smashed, so that hunted it Animal, just to see it is not pleasing to the eye, or to treat it as a toy to kill?

But the smell is neither a cat nor a dog. Apart from cats and dogs, what other animals do this?

Xiang Kun sniffed a few more sips, looking for the direction in which the scent that had caught his attention left, but after walking a few steps, he found that the direction in which the scent was leaving could not be found at all.

Maybe it’s been too long?

Xiang Kun took the mobile phone and patted it around the dead mouse carefully, inspected the traces on the ground, and wanted to see if there were any remaining footprints and so on, but he found that the mobile phone’s battery was almost exhausted, and nothing useful Information, with the exception of his son’s footprints, there was no useful information-or information he could see.

Turn off the flashlight of the phone, and Xiang Kun sat down beside him, took a deep breath, relaxed his muscles, closed his eyes, released his senses, and continued to explore the surroundings with his sense of smell and hearing.

Xiang Kun is not just practicing, he is also looking.

The scent that caught his attention made him very curious. Even if he couldn’t find the source of the scent, he hoped to find a similar scent in the mountain forest, and followed it to determine what kind of creature the scent was left behind. of.

The smell of each biological individual is different, and the smell of each biological group also has its own characteristics.

The special smell just mixed with other flavors is actually not obvious.

But when Xiang Kun was leaving, he smelled the smell very accurately and was attracted by the smell, and the smell was not in his “database”, it was a smell he had never heard.

This seemed to be an instinctive reaction, as if the body was telling him-that scent should be noticed.

Xiang Kun was sitting in the mountains until the sun came out, just five meters away from the dead mouse.

If it is an ordinary person, in the evening, sitting in a mountain forest where you can’t see your five fingers, even the most courageous person will inevitably feel uneasy and nervous, at least they will worry about bugs crawling on and so on.

However, although Xiang Kun closed his eyes, he could not see anything, but he was very clear about everything within a dozen meters. There was an earthworm drilling the soil, there was a bug preying, and there was a spider weaving a web. There were a few ants walking in line … Oh, a beetle landed on his shoulder and flew with his fingers.

Fortunately, mosquitoes were not interested in him, and he had not been bitten since he mutated.

All night, Xiang Kun not at all waited until the smell appeared.

Of course, he was sitting there, unable to search the whole mountain with smell and sound, even though the mountain was small.

So he got up and started searching for mountains.

The reason why he did not do it last night is that although he has a hearing and smell that is far beyond ordinary people, he has no problem walking with his eyes closed on familiar streets, but on a mountain that is not on this road, it is estimated that he will hit a tree within a few steps Or step on the air.

In one morning, Xiang Kun searched this small hill.

At noon, I finally left, ran back home, changed my clothes stained with dirt, and took a bath. Xiang Kun went to the city’s largest zoo.

Xiang Kun has been unable to let go of the smell. He has always attached great importance to the “signal” given to him by the body, even if the “signal” is very insignificant, because it may help him understand his body better.

Therefore, when he came to the zoo, he did not come to have fun, but to enrich his “database”.

He wanted to see if there was a similar sample of that smell in the zoo.

After Xiang Kun bought the ticket, he went in all the way without missing any of the houses and cages, and collected the smell of each animal.

Even if some animals have been confined in the building, and they have not appeared in the outside activity area for visitors to watch, it will not prevent Xiang Kun from “capturing” their smell.

Until the park was closed at XNUMX pm, Xiang Kun was able to distinguish the smell of all the animals in the park in detail.

But unfortunately, not at all is the same as the special smell he smelled last night.

This made Xiang Kun even more curious.

After returning home, he took a flashlight and went to the hill again to find the dead mouse exactly.

It was already at 8 o’clock in the night. Xiang Kun held a flashlight in one hand and a small wooden stick in one hand, and examined the dead rat carefully again.

Although the degree of decay was more serious, Xiang Kun still found two penetrating wounds, looking like they were penetrated by claws?

It 鈥檚 just that the claw is as thick as his index finger?

Big cats?

But it’s not right. In the zoo today, he has smelled any tiger, leopard or lion. The smell is wrong.

And this is not a deep forest or an undeveloped area. There can be no wild beast of that kind, at most there are wild cats and wild dogs.

To take a step back, if there is such a large carnivore predator here, there will not be only such a dead mouse, there should be more traces, impossible to find. Even more how, there are no footprints left by the dead mouse, which is unreasonable.

Xiang Kun searched around the hill and the lake all night, and found nothing, and there was no trace of that smell.

After dawn, he went up the mountain again, taking the place where the dead mouse was located as the center, and searched around carefully again, until XNUMX o’clock in the afternoon, there was no clue, and no beast on the mountain appeared. sign.

Xiang Kun also started to feel that he was a little too paranoid?

Perhaps the smell is actually just because it is about to dissipate, and you do n鈥檛 have accurate judgment, and you smell “cha”?

When I came home and entered the corridor, I met the young lady Yang who raised a husky, walked out of the elevator, frowns tightly, and seemed to be anxious.

She ignored Xiang Kun, and Xiang Kun naturally did not say hello, and the two passed by as if they had not seen each other.

However, when Xiang Kun pressed the floor in the elevator, Young Lady Yang suddenly turned around and blocked the elevator door.
