Hearing And Smelling

Xiang Kun looked at the video in a daze. He realized that Gao Liang had replied that there were videos from other angles, but they were not as clear. Clearly, there was more than one person who had taken the video.

He even saw the video taken by the surveillance camera. He wondered if it was uploaded by the shop owner.

Xiang Kun felt a headache coming on. After returning the phone to the reporter, he excused himself and left hurriedly.

After walking on the streets for a while, Xiang Kun felt that it was not a big deal. When he stopped the culprit, he did not show any extraordinary abilities. As long as he insisted on not being interviewed and kept a low profile, no one would pay attention to him after this matter was over.

Ultimately, the netizens were only concerned about this incident.

Xiang Kun went to the busiest part of the city and found a beverage shop by the roadside. He bought a drink and sat at the door with his eyes half-closed as if he was dozing off.

But in reality, he was focused on his hearing.

Behind him, he could hear the voices of the shop assistants, customers ordering their orders, the footsteps of the pedestrians outside, the sound of cars driving on the road, horns honking, and the broadcasts and music of the promotional activities in the nearby shopping malls. All kinds of voices could be heard in Xiang Kun's mind.

Then, he locked onto one of the sounds and began to focus on "capturing" it.

For example, when he heard the sound of a certain footstep, he would follow it, feel its movement and position, calculate the distance between him and himself, the material of the shoe, and so on until the sound was far away and could no longer be heard.

Using this method, Xiang Kun used his hearing to "construct" his surroundings.

After drinking blood the last time, Xiang Kun realized that his hearing had improved significantly. He was also stronger than ordinary people.

After drinking blood for the third time, Xiang Kun adjusted his training plan. He lowered the weight of his strength training and increased his body's agility and balance training. In particular, he made many plans for his vision, hearing, and smell.

Xiang Kun sat in front of the drinks shop from ten in the morning until five in the afternoon. He did not open his eyes nor did he move his butt. Everyone in the drink shop probably thought that he was asleep.

At 5: 15 pm, Xiang Kun opened his eyes and stretched as though he had really slept. Then he got up and left the drink shop. He threw the cup of milk tea in his hand into the rubbish bin.

Xiang Kun did not go home. Instead, he continued to train his hearing.

He strolled along the streets, casually searching for various sounds to track.

Sometimes, when they saw someone talking or making a call from afar, they would slowly approach and shorten the distance until they could vaguely hear the other party's conversation. Then, they would increase the distance between them, constantly increasing the distance they could hear.

Sometimes, he would randomly lock onto one of the voices and search for the source of the voice. For example, one of the footsteps, a dog barking that was out of sight, or a phone ringing somewhere.

Sometimes it was centered on a position determined and sustained source of sound, like the radio in a mall, the music in a clothing store, or even the voices of some machines, slowly pulling away.

For the training of hearing, Xiang Kun's method was to listen more, distinguish more, and find the limits of hearing.

For the next few days, he spent almost ten hours walking around the streets every day, listening to all kinds of sounds and training his hearing.

Xiang Kun realized that the training at night was much better than during the day.

Not only was his physical functions stronger at night, his mental state was better, and his hearing was more sensitive, but there was also much less noise at night. It was relatively quieter. At his current stage, training was easier.

Therefore, Xiang Kun still went to the gym to train during the day. At night, he wandered around the streets, searching for any sounds.

It was also because of this that he heard many sounds that he had not thought of before. For example, the sounds of insects in the grass, the sounds of crawling in the gutters, the gnawing sounds of rats, the sounds of various materials in various buildings being compressed due to heat, or other vibrations. For example, the sounds of the wind blowing through the streets and roads of different structures. There were also some very subtle sounds that he could not even find the exact source of.

Apart from hearing, Xiang Kun also trained his sense of smell. Just like hearing, he also learned how to differentiate and track different scents.

However, although his sense of smell and hearing were trained on the streets, they were trained separately. This was because at this stage, if he were to listen and smell at the same time, the two senses would not be able to focus completely and would interfere with each other.

Therefore, when he first started training his sense of smell, he would find a place to sit down, close his eyes, put on earplugs, and seal the two main senses. He would only use his nose to sense the surroundings and distinguish the different sources of smell in the surroundings.

Compared to sound, smell was much more difficult to distinguish and difficult to train. Most of the time, a stronger smell would suppress other smells. After staying in the same environment for a period of time, the nose would adapt to the surrounding smell and the sense of smell would decrease.

Therefore, sometimes, he would even deliberately choose places that had a larger and more varied taste, such as garbage piles, smelly drains, smelly ponds, food streets, and so on to train.

On the evening of the 30th of July, Xiang Kun did not go out after returning from the gym because he felt hungry again.

It was about six days since the last time he drank blood. It was about the same time as the last time.

This time, Xiang Kun did not carry out any more endurance experiments. After feeling hungry, he disposed of the remaining rabbit and drank about 165ml of rabbit blood.

Feeling sleepy, Xiang Kun picked up his phone and set an alarm to ring 23 hours later.

He wanted to see if he could be woken up by the noise while he slept.

The reason why he set it to 23 hours later was because he was worried that if he was woken up too early and had insufficient sleep, it might affect his body too much.

The alarm clock was set to one minute and repeated three times.

…

When Xiang Kun opened his eyes again, he was stunned for a moment. He felt that the world had changed. However, after lying down for a few minutes and thinking about it, he could not figure out what was different.

She sat up in bed and picked up her phone. As expected, she was not woken up by the alarm. It seemed that during the period of deep sleep after drinking blood, the sound of the alarm could not wake her up.

It was just that he did not know if he would wake up if he were to engage in physical contact. How much physical contact would he need?

As for the sleeping time, 25 hours and 27 minutes was still within the previous statistics. There were no changes.

Xiang Kun suddenly felt that the room was a little noisy. He could even hear the people chatting and boasting outside. He thought that he had forgotten to close the window before sleeping. However, when he walked over, he realized that the window was closed.

Xiang Kun was stunned for a moment. Then he realized that it was not because the noise outside had increased, but because his hearing had improved.
