Chapter 369: Chapter 369: Boss! Danger!
After ending the video call with Little Fatty Girl, Xiang Kun opened WeChat and asked Old Xia: âIs it done?â
Old Xia sent back an OK emoji.
On the day when he had to leave Citong City two weeks ago, Xiang Kun had Old Xia put a âblack circle graffitiâ in the room of the âvampire patientâ he found problematic at the Third Hospital, intending to seize the opportunity to observe her dreams and identify her âproblemsâ.
In the two weeks since his return, Xiang Kun had sensed the dreams of the âvampire patientâ multiple times.
Even though he saw information related to the âvampireâ every time, he even saw the âpersonâ who guided her to become a âvampireâ- or should I say, the person she believes guided her into becoming a vampire, in her dreams.
However, through several dream perceptions, Xiang Kun judged from various details that the âvampire dukeâ with a figure like an internet dramaâs handsome actor, dressed in European clothes, pale skin, sharp teeth and red lips, and a gentle voice, seen in the dreams of the âvampire patientâ, was certainly not a real âvampireâ; wasnât a âmutantâ.
That âvampire dukeâ with handsome looks probably was an imagination and delusion created by the âvampire patientâ and didnât really exist.
But based on some of the content from the dreams, the related information that Alice found for him earlier, and his intuition, he surmised that these illusions and delusions of the âvampire patientâ were likely induced or even hypnotically caused by the real âmutantâ to achieve certain purposes.
However, as for the exact purpose and the specific means of hypnosis, he hadnât figured out yet.
It was possible that the âmutantâ wanted to manipulate others to gather fresh blood for it. Earlier, Alice found a news report about this âvampire patientâ and three men bewitched by her, kidnapping people in the streets, perhaps to find that âmutantâ. However, they were discovered by passers-by who called the police and got them all arrested. The three men were locked up, and after being judicially identified, the âvampire patientâ was sent to the Third Hospital for compulsory treatment.
Whether facing interrogations by the police or the treatments from doctors, the âvampire patientâ didnât confess who was driving her to act this way. She stated that she was born of the noble blood clan and had just awakened, needing to drink blood.
The âvampire patientâ had a deep delusion, and it was difficult to get to the truth from the dream provoked by âemotion infused objectsâ. Xiang Kunâs ability to edit dreams after entering a âsuper sensory stateâ in the dream couldnât guide her too meticulously yet.
However, the âdream inside a dreamâ developed by Xia Libing last night, as well as the series of operations in Mijoeâs dream, made Xiang Kun discover a method to extract the truth â to let Old Xia carry out hypnosis or interrogations on the âvampire patientâsâ subconscious within the âdream inside a dreamâ, using the form of the dream to more intuitively exhibit the problem.
Now Old Xia was heading to the Third Hospital to get close to the ward of the âvampire patientâ, first to establish a connection with the âblack circle graffitiâ he set up in the room two weeks ago. After the patient fell asleep at night, both of them would find a way to explore her dreams and carry out their operations.
It was necessary to deal with the matter of the âvampire patientâ first, otherwise, Old Xia would be busy preparing their lab, the preparation of various equipment and custom items, and he would have to resign from his work at the Third Hospital. In that case, even if they discovered some issues about the âvampire patientâ, it would be difficult to interact with her in a perfectly normal fashion, and there would be more troubles.
After discussing with Old Xia, Xiang Kun thought for a moment, then texted Tang Baona on WeChat, âWhat are you doing?â
After a short while, Tang Baona sent a link to a Bilibili video, following with a laughing emoji, âRemember to triple combo-Ao!â
Xiang Kun opened it and found it to be a cover and remix video. After finishing editing the âYoulong Play Rabbitâ video, Tang Baona finally had time to update her own videos.
Xiang Kun gave the video a one-click triple combo, but then said to Tang Baona, âNext time for sure!â
Tang Baona replied with an emoji saying, âIâll beat you upâ.
Xiang Kun replied, âJust kidding, Iâve already triple comboed! Iâll watch it later! By the way, I remember youâre pretty good at drawing, arenât you?â

Tang Baona sent a dumbfounded emoji, âNo, Iâm quite average at drawing.â
She quickly followed up with another message, âAre you looking for someone who can draw? Are you looking for an art designer for your game? I can connect you with Xie Peng. Heâs the art director of a game company and would definitely know a lot of people. He can help you find all kinds of talent.â
Xiang Kun replied, âItâs not about work. Do you remember Liu Shiling, the little girl who used to live next to me in 706? Sheâs the one who, you and Zhenâer found her coin-flipping video online while we were in Tongshi Town.â
Tang Baona immediately replied, âOf course I remember! That little girl is so cute! I really want to pinch her cheeks!â
Xiang Kun: âHereâs the thing, she wants to learn how to draw, and I thought of you. When youâre free, could you perhaps guide her remotely online?â
To be honest, when Little Fatty Girl made this request, Xiang Kun had many other plans.
For example, he could pay some money and ask Xiao Min, Yang Zhuoâs girlfriend, a student in the related field who had studied art for seven or eight years, to guide Little Fatty Girl online during her free time.
Or he could help Little Fatty Girl find a locla art student from Star City to teach her. If he had a good talk with Shilingâs mom, there were many homeschooling platforms available to offer services, so there should be no problem.
These plans were actually more professional.
However, Xiang Kun dismissed all the other plans in a split second and decided to ask Tang Baona for help. He knew Little Fatty Girlâs purpose of learning to draw. She might draw something related to emotion-infused objects or dreams. He hoped that the person who would teach Little Fatty Girl and have contact with her, would be someone he could trust.
Moreover, from the fact that Little Fatty Girl asked him for drawing lessons through a video, it could be seen that she probably didnât want to attend a class or any interest-based group for learning. Otherwise, she would have told her mother about her desire to learn drawing. Based on Shilingâs Momâs typical approach, she would definitely help her sign up for a drawing class and find an art teacher.
Tang Baona herself said she was average at drawing, but according to Xiang Kunâs judgment, her skill level was already quite good. At least, she was more than capable of teaching Little Fatty Girl.
In addition to asking Tang Baona for help, Xiang Kun provided Little Fatty Girl with two âpackagesâ. One was a series of online videos teaching children to draw, the other was to have Little Fatty Girl send her drawings to him. He would then have Alice âmodifyâ them before sending them back, guiding Little Fatty Girl to improve and helping her draw what she wanted to draw.
Upon hearing Xiang Kunâs request, Tang Baona agreed without any hesitation, and sent an emoji of a fist-bumping little boy, saying, âNo problem, leave it to me! Itâs a good opportunity for me to learn the coin-flipping skills from Liu Shiling!â
After talking about Little Fatty Girl, Tang Baona brought up another matter with Xiang Kun, âBy the way, are you free the day after tomorrow? My grandfather would like to invite you to have a meal and chat about wood carving and calligraphy. Zhenâer, my sister, and Gao Yao will also be there.â
After considering for a moment, Xiang Kun responded with an OK emoji.
âHave what weâve been preparing for the gameâs official launch, company registration and funding talked privately with you? She called me and talked about it this morning.â Tang Baona started discussing the game they were working on with Xiang Kun.
They kept talking until past five in the afternoon, when Tang Baona needed to go for dinner, then they stopped.
Of course, Xiang Kun didnât need to eat dinner. He remembered the video that Tang Baona had sent before, so he scrolled through their chat history and opened it to watch.
The song Tang Baona covered was Nightwishâs âLast Ride of the Dayâ, a highly imposing and difficult song to sing.
Xiang Kun was also familiar with Nightwish. Their songs seemed to be seldom covered by others because they were all quite challenging.
Usually, Tang Baona, as an amateur, would find this song difficult to handle, particularly the high notes. If her skills were barely enough, or somewhat deficient, her rendition would sound quite lacking. Singing a song at 80 points with a skill level of 120, is wholly different from doing the same with a skill level of exactly 80 points.
However, to his surprise, Tang Baonaâs rendition of the song was exceptionally good. It seemed that some post-processing had been done, but regardless, her performance was truly fiery, smooth, and even more energetic and immersive than the original in Xiang Kunâs opinion.
The video matched with the music was a montage of scenes from several animations, including One Punch Man, Fate, Giant, and others that Xiang Kun hasnât even seen before. But with the screen crowded with bullet comments like âGive your heartâ, âExecute justiceâ, and the thirty-year-old Xiang Kun, were stirred with a feeling of passionate fervour. He felt like he was heading with his companions towards a world-destroying enemy, defending something that must be protected, risking everything.
No more need to hide, no more need to be low-key, no more fear of being discovered. Shed all burdens, release all restrictions, and have a hearty fight, a hearty battle!
Just when he was listening to the line âOnce upon a night weâll wake to the carnival of lifeâ, the phone screen suddenly went black, the music came to an abrupt end. It was as uncomfortable as having your breath cut off halfway through a deep breath.
At the same time, Aliceâs somewhat âanxiousâ voice came from the speaker, âBoss! Danger! Boss! Danger!â freÄwÄbnovel.com
Xiang Kun looked up in surprise, understanding in an instant what was going on.
His phone had stopped playing the video because Alice had directly cut off the playback. He unknowingly entered an âemotional assimilationâ state while watching the montage and the cover by Tang Baona.
There was no one around at the moment. And even if a neighbor was slightly affected by this emotion, it wouldnât be a big deal.
But the problem is, Xiang Kun now is not the same as he was a few months ago.
After the mutation evolution over this period, along with the abilities âdevelopedâ by Little Fatty Girl, Apple and Old Xia, if his emotions fluctuate too violently now, he could unintentionally cause a series of influences either through the âsuper sensory item systemâ or his abilities. Especially interference and control over electricity and magnetism.
Looking at the dozens of coins on the table, all of which had established âsuper sensory contactâ during the previous blood-drinking period, neatly laid out on the computer desk like a ready-for-battle army. And the box of tungsten steel balls in the corner of the bedroom, from the perception information obtained through memory retrieval, he knew that those balls were also influenced to float in the air like a squadron of attacking fighter jets. Xiang Kun then understood what Alice meant by âdangerâ â not that he was in danger, but Alice was.
If Xiang Kun had fully let his abilities loose without any subjective avoidance and control, most likely all the electronic devices in his bedroom would be affected.
Xiang Kun shook his head with a wry smile. It seems that heâll have to pay attention to the occasion and environment when watching such thrilling videos or listening to music in the future, or first sense Old Xiaâs highly rational emotional type for insurance through âemotion-infused objectsâ. Otherwise, he could easily create a widespread impact without thinking.
He then thought of the few cries Alice made just now, the âemotionâ in her voice was becoming more and more realistic.
Moreover, her reaction was really fast. She predicted the possible results with just a slight influence on her surroundings. Although this has something to do with the âvampire mutation modelâ which plugged all data into Xiang Kun, her ability to foresee âdangerâ wasnât taught by Xiang Kun, nor was it given a specific task. It all came from her self-learning and evolution.
