Analyzing The Situation

Xiang Kun rubbed the skin on his face and arms hard. Soon, the hard skin was removed, revealing new and smooth skin.

He grabbed his hair, and it was as if his hair was stuck to his head. He grabbed it off his head.

After taking a shower and rubbing his entire body, Xiang Kun stood in front of the mirror again. He saw an obviously much younger version of himself. Apart from his bald head, which made him look a little awkward, as well as his teeth that were not fully grown, he looked a little strange.

After putting the dead and smelly chicken into the trash bag and packing up the chicken feathers and chicken blood, Xiang Kun sat down on the only chair in the room and started to think about what had happened to him.

There was no doubt that everything had started from Thursday night when he was drunk. After waking up, his body began to show signs of abnormality.

He had no appetite for normal food and would throw up after eating it. However, he had an inexplicable thirst for animal blood. He even bought a live chicken to cut his neck and drink blood.

Although he clearly remembered the process of buying chickens, slaughtering chickens, and drinking blood, he felt like he was driven by his body's instincts and hunger, unable to control himself.

And now, after drinking the chicken blood and sleeping for another day, his skin had shed a layer of skin, his hair had fallen off, and all his teeth had fallen off and started to grow again. When he was showering just now, he realized that the nails on his hands and feet had also peeled off, revealing a thin layer of new armor.

Unless it was all an illusion, it was obviously not a hangover, an inflammation, or lack of sleep. It was also not an illness that he had heard or seen before.

The scenes from the various novels and films that he had read in the past flashed through his mind. Then, he fixed it on three words:

Vampire.

If someone had told Xiang Kun that he would become a vampire before Thursday, he would have thought that the person was either a lunatic or a liar.

However, at this moment, he couldn't help but think about the changes in his body and his previous experiences.

He opened his notebook and used a search engine to check his symptoms. As expected, there was no "scientific" explanation. The so-called pica, rabies, and porphyria were very different from his symptoms. At the very least, it could not explain why he had grown teeth again and shed his skin.

As a programmer, using Google to access a VPN was a basic skill. However, using English to access the internet, he only found a bunch of unreliable legends, and none of them matched his symptoms.

What should he do now?

See a doctor?

With the hospital's equipment and professional diagnosis, it would definitely help him understand his physical condition.

However, what did the doctor say? He said that after I got a hangover, I suddenly couldn't eat normally. I would vomit whatever I ate, but I liked drinking chicken blood. Furthermore, I slept after drinking it. When I woke up, I had a new layer of skin. My teeth had also changed. I even lost all my hair?

Assuming that he was suffering from a disease, there were no related cases on the Internet.

Firstly, he was the first person to have such a disease.

Secondly, the past cases were deliberately concealed and not made public.

Regardless of the situation, if Xiang Kun were to go to the hospital, he might become the focus of surveillance. He might even lose his freedom due to "protection".

At that time, he might not have to worry about the medical fees, but the first goal of the hospital or other organizations might not be to save his life or treat him, but the illness he had.

Therefore, after careful consideration, he decided not to go to the hospital for the time being before his "illness" worsened beyond his control and his life was in danger.

Of course, this was a risk. If it was a life-threatening illness, he might miss the best opportunity to treat it.

Xiang Kun created a new Word document in his notebook and put on his glasses. He was about to type when he suddenly felt a little dizzy. The image on the screen became slightly distorted.

Xiang Kun took off his glasses and realized something. He pulled the curtains open and looked at the words on the billboard. He realized that he could see the advertisement slogans clearly without his glasses. Although he was still short-sighted, his vision was much better than before.

After experiencing teeth and skin conditions, Xiang Kun immediately realized that this was one of the "symptoms".

After licking his teeth, Xiang Kun went to the bathroom to look at himself in the mirror. He realized that it had been almost 6 pm since he woke up at 4 pm. After more than an hour, his teeth had grown visibly. At this rate, his teeth would probably grow back to their original shape before tomorrow morning. Moreover, the place where he had collapsed previously had also recovered.

Xiang Kun returned to his computer and typed on the document:

Assuming the factors that cause all the changes in the body are x

1. The possible reason for the appearance of x:

1. There was something wrong with the wine or food they drank at the food stall on July 11;

2. Genetic diseases develop after external stimuli, such as alcohol;

3. Other pathways infect viruses or bacteria, such as being bitten by a bug;

4. After falling asleep when he was drunk, something happened that he did not know.

5. Everything else.

2. The physical changes caused by x:

1. Shedding skin all over her body. Her new skin is healthier and more delicate. Furthermore, her previous scars have disappeared. Her teeth have been replaced with new ones, her nails have been replaced with new ones, her hair has been shed, and her myopia has been greatly improved.

2. Unable to eat normal food, one would vomit after eating it.

3. There is an inexplicable bloodthirst. It will be attracted by the smell of blood, triggering a strong sense of hunger and driving the body to obtain blood. After drinking blood, one will feel satisfied and sleepy.

4. Unknown change.

3. How to deal with x:

1. Investigate the cause of x;

2. Record the changes in the body and find the cause and trend of the changes.

3. Solve the problem of eating.

Looking at the document he had written, Xiang Kun rubbed his chin and realized that most of the changes he had experienced were beneficial. Even if his hair had not regrown, it would not affect him much.

In the game, the changes in his body were mostly buffs, not debuff.

Besides eating.

If a person was alive, he would need to eat. Otherwise, he would not be able to provide the energy needed for survival and would die. However, from the evening of July 11th until today, he did not eat anything except drinking chicken blood. He vomited whatever he ate.

He did not think that the blood could provide him with all the energy he needed to survive.

Xiang Kun poured himself a glass of warm water and sat quietly for ten minutes after drinking it. There was no reaction from his stomach. Obviously, the water would not be rejected by his stomach.

So he found the carton of milk that he had bought at home and drank it all.

Twenty seconds later, Xiang Kun dashed towards the toilet and vomited.
