What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Chapter 89 Deterrent Effects

"Little Apple" replied quickly, and Xiang Kun stopped chatting among the four people and turned on the voice message she sent to listen.

"It sounds like a sound of fear or begging for mercy. Are there other fierce birds, cats, dogs, etc. beside the bird?"

Xiang Kun thought about it, if there was one... then it should be him.

He said in a voice: "I just bought it, I guess it's because I'm leaving a place I'm familiar with, and I'm a little uneasy. Can I send you some of its calls from time to time, so that I can understand what it's saying, It’s best to win its trust early and have a good relationship.”

Although Xiang Kun himself had a certain ability to interpret the sounds expressed by birdsong, it was very superficial and had to be inferred based on the surrounding environment. "Little Apple" is much more capable. She seems to be able to distinguish what the birds want to express from the frequency and timbre of the birds' calls.

Xiang Kun wanted to learn this ability.

"Okay!" "Little Apple" didn't mean to cherish himself at all, and agreed very happily.

Xiang Kun went to the flower and bird market, tried to "shock" the birds, and bought a canary. He also wanted to learn to understand the birds' chirping. Naturally, there was a purpose.

He can already be sure that the ability to affect the mental and physical state of other creatures, which is similar to deterrence, appeared after drinking the blood of the "giant owl".

So he chose birds as his long-term observation objects. One reason is that before drinking the blood of the "giant owl", his deterrent ability would not work on birds, chickens, ducks and other birds.

The second is that the "giant owl" is also a bird. If you choose a bird as the object of observation, you can get some feedback more directly.

As for why not just get an owl?

Because the owl is a national second-class protected animal...

After taking the canary home, Xiang Kun went out again to the meat rabbit farm that he was going to yesterday.

After an hour's drive, Xiang Kun arrived at the meat rabbit farm. He first bought four rabbits, and then took a casual tour with the boss.

In fact, he originally wanted to buy a few more at a time, but now in the city, it is becoming more and more difficult to buy this kind of live poultry and livestock.

But when I came here, I found that this Belgian rabbit was bigger than the meat rabbit he bought before. If you buy too many, it will be too conspicuous to carry when you return to the community. .

In addition to buying rabbits, Xiang Kun also came to "study" and "investigate" on the spot today, and had a brief chat with the boss to see how the input and output of the farm were, and what difficulties there were.

Because he began to think about whether to leave this city where he had struggled for many years. He wanted to go back to his hometown, or find another relatively remote mountain village to stay, open a small farm, and live in seclusion by himself.

As long as he has the Internet, mobile phone, and computer, he will not be out of touch with the world.

But it can be very quiet and undisturbed to train and study on itself.

In addition to the rabbit, Xiang Kun also bought a chicken and a duck, tied them up, and carried them in a sack.

On the one hand, he wanted to try a new recipe, and on the other hand, he had been drinking rabbit blood for a long time and wanted to change the taste. Although so far, the taste of rabbit blood and the satisfaction it brings to the body are the strongest.

After returning home and putting the purchased livestock and poultry into the kitchen, Xiang Kun went to see the canary first.

Although he didn't intend to treat the bird as food or drink its blood, Xiang Kun would still use it for some experiments, and it might not guarantee its survival in the end, so he didn't treat it as a pet, either. Give it a name or something.

Canary seemed to be in a stable mood. Seeing Xiang Kun walking over and jumping around in the cage, he was very lively.

Xiang Kun sucked his mouth, trying to imitate a few birdsong to tease it,

But it made a mouse-like chirping sound, so he had to give up with some embarrassment. The mutation did not bring him this talent.

Judging from the previous and today's several attempts, Xiang Kun has initially determined that the deterrent ability he got from the owl can only work on the same type of creature at a time. As for the definition of the same type of division, he is not yet sure yet. , may be to subclass or order?

At least when the horse, which is also a mammal, was affected by Xiang Kun, the people around didn't feel anything.

But on the street of the flower and bird market, so many different kinds of birds were affected at the same time.

Moreover, the degree and type of influence seem to be different. At the racecourse and at the flower and bird market, the impact is similar. It is a deterrent by the strong to the weak, making those horses and birds tremble and dare not make any mistakes. Once, I didn't even dare to run or make a cry.

But yesterday at the gate of the community, when facing the studded boy, it was different. It was not just shocking, but directly had a very severe impact on the physiology.

The difference seemed to be Xiang Kun's own emotions and intentions he wanted to express.

In the racecourse, what he wants is that the horses are obedient to him and able to control him freely, but because he is still guarding the experience before drinking the blood of the giant owl, so mentally and physically, he adopts a posture of preparing for battle, causing The impact was that all the horses were so scared that they almost got into the ground, because they were afraid that if they showed an inappropriate movement, they would be misunderstood by Xiang Kun as a provocation, which would cause a fatal blow.

In the flower and bird market, he had previous experience, consciously controlled his emotions and physical coordination, and assisted by recalling the memory of the owl. The message he sent was that a powerful similar species wanted to declare its commitment to this territory. Sovereignty, who is for and who is against?

Then Xiang Kun relaxed himself, but the birds didn't release the state immediately, apparently feeling that the influence was still there, so he imagined himself taking a nap on the edge of the beach, and re-changed the signal he released, so that the birds were relieved. state.

Yesterday at the gate of the community, facing the studded boy who suddenly pulled out a switchblade to his waist, although Xiang Kun looked expressionless, as if he didn't care, there was actually a violent force surging in his heart.

At that time, there were several thoughts beating in his heart all the time, as if a voice was shouting loudly:

"Kill him! Just one punch can kill him!"

"He dared to point a knife at you, you killed him in self-defense!"

"Let him stab him, and you can beat him to death in a fair manner, and if anyone else dares to come up, kill him too!"

"Their blood...you can...no one will notice you..."

"You have already reported to Officer Chen..."

He even imagined in his mind the scene of beating the head of the determined boy until his blood was mutilated.

But this kind of thought and impulse is still under his steady control, and he is very confident that he will not lose control.

Therefore, he was able to maintain the sensitivity of his senses at the same time, paying attention to the heartbeat, breathing and other physiological states of the studded boy. After realizing that he might be unbearable, heart failure or suffocation, he diverted his attention.
