What It’s Like Being a Vampire

At seven o'clock in the evening, Fang Pingfang was sitting in the departure hall of Baojin City Airport, waiting to board the plane.

The night before yesterday, "Mr. Liang" said that there was an abnormal situation in Haixi Province. When she asked her to find out, although she didn't say the specific departure time, based on her past experience and the mission content described by "Mr. Liang", she decided to go there that night. So I packed up my things, made an explanation with Dr. Yang, and was ready to be triggered at any time.

Sure enough, early the next morning, I received a call to arrange the flight and itinerary, and I was going to fly to Jianzhou City, Haixi Province at night.

Since Fang Pingfang joined the secret department of "Shenxing Technology", she has gone out to the field more than once to conduct field investigations, but this time the process is obviously different from the previous ones, and it should be "Mr. Liang"'s temporary intention.

She realized that because of this trip to Qinling no-man's land, because of what she discovered the night before, and the report she made last night, "Mr. Liang" seemed to be planning to let her get in touch with more research projects of secret departments and more confidential information .

If it was before, Fang Pingfang would be very happy. Exploring the mystery and the unknown was the reason why she joined "Shenxing Technology".

But after what happened the night before yesterday, her attention and curiosity were all attracted by the wooden rabbit carving and the possible existence and phenomenon hidden behind it.

For more than a day, she has been thinking and deriving the possible reasons for the occurrence of those strange phenomena. In addition to the speculation reported to "Mr. Liang", she has several new assumptions, but they lack the support of actual observations and experimental evidence. So she very much hoped that she could go back to D2 in person, back to "Lab No. 9", and assist "Mr. Liang" in processing the wood carving.

Even if she is not allowed to participate, it is a good choice to let her watch how "Mr. Liang" handles it.

But obviously, whether it was because of safety or other reasons, "Mr. Liang" was not willing to let her participate.

Fang Pingfang arrived in Jianzhou City in the middle of the night. A small young man from the secret department of "Shenxing Technology" picked her up at the airport, but he didn't take her away immediately, but continued to wait at the airport, because there were still some delays. There are other people arriving, so we have to wait for everyone to arrive and go together.

When it was close to twelve o'clock, Fang Pingfang laughed when she saw the four people who had just arrived. It was really like what "Mr. Liang" said. The members of the temporary team did have her "old acquaintances"—— among the four people, there was She knew both of them.

One is Team Leader Li Shiqi and Li, who went with her to the Qinling no-man's land to investigate, and the other is Zhou Rui, a member of her team in Qicheng City, who can be regarded as her subordinate.

There were two other people, a man and a woman, who only gave each other their first and last names, and did not introduce themselves much. This is also the practice of their department when they cooperate across regions in private.

However, Fang Pingfang can still see some information. The man named Gao Shu looks tall and strong, with a vigorous spirit. He should be a dedicated security and field worker like Li Shiqi; Although the young woman named Chen Tianhua was dressed like an executive, Fang Pingfang could tell at a glance from the details of her fingers, makeup, and standing posture that she was also a technical professional.

The small young man who was in charge of picking them up drove them out of the airport in an MPV. After driving for more than an hour, he took them to a remote villa area in the wilderness - he didn't book a hotel for them, but Rented a detached villa.

After arriving at the villa, everyone didn't go to the room to settle in first, and put their luggage in the living room on the first floor, and then sat and ate the noodle soup packed on the way, while listening to the introduction of the small young man.

"Around nine to nine-thirty yesterday morning,

An accident occurred in Wushu Mountain Scenic Area. Two tourists were attacked and frightened by unknown birds and fell off the cliff. Judging from my field investigation today, interviews with witnesses, and video information collected, the specific situation should be that there should be a body about 20 to 30 centimeters long, with two wings, and a head like a bird and an insect. The little bird' charged into the crowd, causing a fright. Then another bird of prey with a huge wingspan swooped into the crowd and attacked the 'little bird', causing further panic among the crowd, and the two tourists should have fallen off the cliff at this time. Then 'Little Bird' and 'Raptor' quickly flew away, missing. From the travel videos taken by tourists in other areas at that time, as well as the videos taken by two surveillance cameras in the scenic spot, we can see a little picture of the "bird of prey" when it was far away. Although the clarity is relatively poor, you can still roughly judge its wingspan by comparing the surrounding reference objects..."

The small young man seriously reported the information he had collected, and Fang Pingfang listened, but she didn't care about eating, she put down her chopsticks, and listened while thinking, frowning unconsciously.

Watching a few videos played by the little young man through a simple projector in the living room, as well as his analysis text and picture materials, accompanied by his explanations, Fang Pingfang quickly understood the purpose of their visit to Jianzhou City, and also I know what the "abnormal situation" in the mouth of "Mr. Liang" last night refers to.

No wonder the little young man arranged his place to live here. This villa area is very close to the Wushu Mountain Scenic Area.

Fang Pingfang knew that in the secret department of "Shenxing Technology" headed by "Mr. In addition, there is a team dedicated to collecting and analyzing various information on the Internet.

In fact, she doesn't know the specific full name and location of this functional team. Every time they contact and contact, their people will not give a complete self-introduction. Basically, they will directly talk about task-related information without much nonsense. If it is not for field work, even people in the secret department, in fact, many people do not know the existence of these teams.

People who join the "secret department" are not like people in other departments or branches of "Shenxing Technology", who can have a very clear and intuitive understanding of the organizational structure of their department. According to the different levels of confidentiality, the information they know varies, but most of them are limited to the specific projects they belong to.

However, judging from Fang Pingfang's several contacts with these people, they should be distributed all over the country or even around the world, and the investment in related hardware and technology must be huge, not even inferior to the investment in various research centers and laboratories. Otherwise, there is no way to achieve such efficient information collection.

Similarly, the confidentiality level of members of these teams will not be too low.

But Fang Pingfang felt that with the consistent style of "Shenxing Technology", they should not know much more than researchers like her and Dr. Yang, but the angle and direction are different. The true purpose and ultimate goal of "Shenxing Technology" in establishing this "secret department" is also not necessarily clear.

Just like these researchers who are soaked in the laboratory, "Mr. Liang" is in charge of the direction of research and the level of research. Many of them don't even understand what they are doing. Use, why do you want to do this.

Fang Pingfang was very sure that the small young man named "Ye Chong" who was introducing the situation to her now was from those information collection teams, and he acted in exactly the same style.

Judging from what the little young man said, when "Mr. Liang" contacted her last night, he should have just learned of the rough situation of the accident in the Wushu Mountain Scenic Area, and immediately defined the incident as an "abnormal situation". And let her come over directly to "find out".

This little young man also received the order last night, but he rushed over last night, and the investigation has already been carried out during the day, and a lot of follow-up information is the result of his investigation today.

Fang Pingfang also knew that he seemed to be alone, but there must be a team behind him providing technical and other support and collaboration, and this information was not completely investigated by a single person.

But she was even more curious about what information "Mr. Liang" used to determine that there was an abnormality in the accident at the Wushu Mountain Scenic Area last night, and it was worth them coming over to "find out"? You know, at that time, this little young man hadn't been sent to investigate on the spot. The information that "Mr. Liang" could get was probably not much, and it might not be accurate. There must be some key information point, or background knowledge that she doesn't know, that supports "Mr. Liang" to make a quick judgment.

After Ye Chong gave a general introduction to the situation, and handed the tablet computer with the information directly to Fang Pingfang, he said to her: "According to the instructions of 'Mr. I will provide you with logistical and information support, and you can tell me directly what equipment, tools and funds you need."

Fang Pingfang nodded, and didn't ask any more questions, because she knew very well that what Ye Chong knew, or what he could tell, basically took the initiative to tell. If you ask questions such as "How did Mr. Liang judge that the accident in Wushushan Scenic Area was abnormal", "Whether the main investigation target is the 'little bird' or the 'big bird'", you will definitely not get an answer. .

In addition to the relevant information about Ye Chong's investigation, the tablet also contains more detailed information about the members of the temporary investigation team.

Needless to say, Li Shiqi and Zhou Rui, one has just worked together, and the other is her old subordinate, she already knows the situation of the two of them very well.

As for Gao Shu, as she guessed at the airport, like Li Shizhen, they are professionals in charge of security.

However, the information on the young woman named Chen Tianhua was as simple as nothing. There were only three words "observer", and she didn't give any introduction to her knowledge background and function, which made Fang Pingfang a little strange.

Fang Pingfang asked the others to rest first, and then left her old subordinate Zhou Rui behind to briefly inquire about her absence during this period.

In fact, Zhou Rui didn't return to Qicheng City for a long time, and because he had a holiday, he just returned to Qicheng City yesterday after the vacation. He didn't expect that he was notified to continue his business trip just after returning to his work unit to report.

To be honest, the trip to Qinling no-man's land last time scared him enough, and now when it comes to going out to work, he has a strong sense of resistance.

But he also knows that such a high salary and bonus, "Shenxing Technology" is not free. When the higher-ups arranged tasks, if there were no sufficient reasons to refuse, there would be a lot of follow-up troubles, and he was reluctant to give up the job.

Fortunately, when I went to Jianzhou City, I found that the person in charge of this operation was Fang Pingfang, the boss of the unit.

"Yesterday, I heard from Lao Han and the others that this Ms. Chen was sent by 'Mr. Liang' to study in Qicheng City. It is said that she is nice and easy to get along with, and she didn't point fingers at the laboratory, but only occasionally asked questions. , read some information." Zhou Rui and Fang Pingfang reported the news he learned from his colleagues yesterday.

"That assistant Gao Shugao also went to Qicheng City with Ms. Chen. It seems to be her full-time security personnel and assistant. Boss, uh, Dr. Fang, this Ms. Chen is probably the confidant of 'Mr. Liang'!" Zhou Rui remembered that Fang Pingfang told him last time, when working with people not on their team, don't call him "boss", and quickly changed his words.

After chatting briefly with Chen Rui for a while and getting some information, Fang Pingfang also went back to her room to rest.

However, within two minutes of her returning to the room, there was a knock on the door. When she opened the door, there was Chen Tianhua who was wearing a loose tracksuit and holding two cups of hot drinks standing at the door.

"Dr. Fang, excuse me. I know you must be very tired, but if you don't ask about some things, I probably won't be able to sleep." The short-haired Chen Tianhua said a little embarrassedly.

"No, I don't usually go to bed so early." Fang Pingfang let her into the room, and took the hot milk from her hand.

"I only arrived in Qicheng City last Sunday. I thought it was a pity that I couldn't meet Dr. Fang. I didn't expect to see you in Jianzhou City a week later. This is the first time I participated in the field investigation, and I would like to ask you more Guidance." "Chen Tianhua" sat down on the bed, exchanged a few polite greetings, and then explained the purpose of coming: "'Mr. Liang' asked me to tell you about what happened in Qinling and Antie Town, you can confirm with him .”

Fang Pingfang was slightly surprised, and made a judgment in her heart instantly: this "observer" was indeed, as Chen Rui said, the confidant of "Mr. Liang". In the secret department, the level of secrecy is probably higher than hers.

Although she knew that what Chen Tianhua said should be true, Fang Pingfang still picked up the tablet computer she brought, boarded the software for internal communication, and connected to "Mr. Liang". After sending out a confirmation question, "Mr. Liang" A reply was quickly given, with only three words:

"tell her."

...

At this time, in Tongshi Town, which was only twenty kilometers away from Fang Pingfang and the others, Xiang Kun had just returned to the hotel with a large group of people.

Today they basically stayed in "Youlong Hotel" all day, recording the second video of "Youlong Playing Rabbit" as planned.

Except for You Meng who appeared on camera, Tang Baona, Yang Zhuo, and Xiao Min who assisted in the filming, Liang Yulong who prepared the ingredients, and Xiang Kun who was responsible for everything else, everyone else just watched the fun.

But frolicking and having something to eat, everyone will not be bored. And watching the process of filming this video on the spot feels more joyful than watching the finished product.

After returning to the hotel, the nine people gathered in two rooms respectively.

One is Zhang Qian, Zicheng, Yang Zhuo who have been playing Glory of Kings for two consecutive nights, and the other is Xiang Kun and Tang Baona.

They will fight with the glory of the king, and the loser will carry bags, buy water, and treat the winner to dinner when they go to the scenic spot tomorrow.

Of course, the four of them on Xiang Kun's side had to add another You Meng who was ready at home at this time.

In terms of game level, Zhang Qian and the other five are very bad except for Yang Zhuo, but Xiang Kun and the others are even worse. You Meng plays occasionally, but the highest qualifying result is diamonds. Cheng is quite equal, Yang Zhener and Tang Baona have only played a few times a few years ago, no different from novices, and Xia Libing has never played at all.

Basically, this is a "cookie showdown".

When Tang Baona, Yang Zhen'er, and Xia Libing entered the game to familiarize themselves with the operation and hero skills, Xiang Kun casually sensed the items that had established a "supersensory connection" with him, as if checking new messages on WeChat. Suddenly, he found that the 3x3cm piece of paper stuffed in Mi Qiao's soft leather case was no longer in Qicheng City.

Although it was impossible to pinpoint the exact location, it proved that Xiang Kun had never been to the place where she was.

But judging from the direction of perception, Xiang Kun had an intuition that Mi Qiao didn't seem to be far away from him.

Looking at the three people who were still studying the skills of Lu Ban, Cai Wenji, and Angela, Xiang Kun got up and walked into the bathroom. After closing the door, he put down the toilet seat and sat on it to enter the "super sensory state".

Relying on the perceptual connection to the "black circle graffiti" beside Mi Qiao, Xiang Kun successfully descended to the edge of the paper in the "super sensory state".
