Midnight

After his body mutated, Xiang Kun no longer needed to eat, or rather, he could no longer eat.

The only things that could go down without vomiting were water and blood. Naturally, there was no need to cook.

Besides, even before his mutation, he had barely cooked himself. In the rented house, he would at most make instant noodles.

However, the memory of the gigantic owl searching through the garbage and finding the rabbit's corpse that he had packed made him realize that his trash compared to normal people was too different.

What's so bad about ordinary people's trash?

Various kitchen utensils, used tissues, toilet paper, bottles, trash bags, and various other items.

But what about Xiang Kun's trash?

Apart from the layers of packed rabbit corpses, there was very little rubbish. Basically, there were only some packaging, plastic bags and the like, as well as cleaning the rabbit cages and leftover food.

Because he didn't sweat much and didn't need to eat, he didn't eat snacks or drink drinks. He used very little tissue paper, so the rubbish bin was often empty.

Of course, the classification of garbage in their city was not very strict. Although there were four-colored barrels, many people only used one garbage bag to dump the garbage into the kitchen. Therefore, no one would pay attention to his garbage, but it was still a hidden danger.

Moreover, when he bought the rabbit back, it was inevitable that people would see him when he entered the neighborhood.

It didn't matter if it happened once or twice. It wasn't like he had to buy it every day anyway. But as time went on, someone was bound to notice.

He should always have an explanation for buying rabbits.

Therefore, Xiang Kun did not throw away the corpses of the three rabbits after drinking the blood. Instead, he put them in the fridge to freeze.

He found a few recipes for rabbit meat online. When he came back today, he specially went to the supermarket to buy all the ingredients and kitchenware that he needed.

Three rabbits. He was going to use three methods.

Braised rabbit meat, spicy rabbit meat, stewed rabbit meat…

Xiang Kun could not be bothered to defrost it slowly. He soaked it in hot water. After all, he would not really eat it. He was just using it for practice.

When it came to handling the rabbit meat and cutting it into pieces, the knife skills were still a little rusty at the beginning, but it soon became smooth. Although it was still far from being as good as a chef, at first glance, it already looked pretty decent and did not look like a new hand that had never cooked before.

After all, not only was he very strong now, he also had the ability to control his muscles, control his strength, and flexibility of his fingers and wrists. He was also much stronger than ordinary people.

It was already early in the morning. However, to Xiang Kun, it was a good time for him to be energetic.

He took out his phone and opened a music app. He pressed play and placed it beside the condiment counter.

The volume of the song was only adjusted by one bar. Even if the player did not turn on the lighter, the knife did not touch the table, and the oil did not go into the pot, ordinary people at the side would not be able to hear what they were singing clearly, so there was no need to worry about disturbing the neighbors.

However, to Xiang Kun, as long as he wanted to, he could hear the music clearly. It was no worse than wearing headphones. Even the noise from cooking could not hide the details of the music. This was not only because of his enhanced hearing, but also the result of his training.

Whether it was to accurately capture the sound he wanted from the noise or to lock onto the smell he wanted from the various smells, Xiang Kun was able to do it instinctively.

Xiang Kun had never heard a random song on the phone before, but the lyrics and melody were pleasant.

In the past, when Xiang Kun was doing repetitive work, he would put on his earphones and listen to music as he worked. However, after his body mutated, he opened the music app to test and train his hearing. He had not really "listened" to music for a long time.

Amidst the rhythmic singing, Xiang Kun was cutting the rabbit meat faster.

"You can't do that."

You Know the Road Better the Show

And darkness Make You Glow… "

Chili pepper, onion slices, oil poured into the pot, pepper, octagonal pepper, dried chili entered the pot to burst the fragrance.

"…Hey, hey, hey, hey, it's a Brand New Day, ah ~ ha ~"

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, it's a long journey…"

The rabbit meat went into the pot and was stir-fried.

The music cut to the next song, and the tempo was even stronger. Xiang Kun's hand that was holding the shovel could not help but follow the tempo, and his feet tapped the beat.

"In a world full of people!"

< I > lala leader! < / I >

In a world full of people ~

< I > lala Beliefer! < / I >

'I'm trying to get out of here, and there's a chance of that happening.'

"I am at a loss…"

With the addition of the stir-fry, the added wine, and the stir-fry, with a shake of his left hand, the rabbit meat in the pot started to churn. The spatula in his right hand also left his hand and quickly spun 720 degrees before holding it firmly. However, half of the rabbit meat was spilled on the table…

Xiang Kun also sang in slightly off-key English:

"GONNAAKING COUNTY ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"

Add sugar, salt, and serve.

He tasted it, chewed it for a moment, then spat it out.

Hmm, the taste was… not good.

Although he didn't need to eat anything, his taste buds didn't deteriorate.

Furthermore, because he didn't have any appetite, he had a more objective and clear judgment of the taste of the food.

He threw all the spicy rabbit meat into the bin and started to prepare the second dish.

The music cut to the next song, too. Well, this was a song he'd heard before, an iMagine dirge of demones. Still cooking, shaking his shoulders, he began humming along with his tuneless and inflexible English:

"You're right, it's right…"

I Wanna Save the Light

I can't…

Unless You Show ~ ~ ~

Xiang Kun's shovel danced in the air and almost turned the spatula into a Thunderbolt Saber. The song that he was humming along with became a Minnan song, "The Price of Heroes". The only thing that didn't change was the tone:

"Heh (broken voice x3) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Loneliness is the price of a hero ~ ~"

"Hei (Soundbreaker x4) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"

Two minutes later, it became Cantonese. Following Beyond's voice, it continued to change its tune:

"I'm already filled with bitterness, regret, and regret…"

"But your eyes are filled with tears ~"

"This world has unknowingly become empty (broken voice x5) ~ ~"

"Ahwooh! Don't go if you don't want to!"

When the braised rabbit meat was out of the pot, Xiang Kun threw the spatula above his head. The spatula, which he had just bought in the afternoon and cost less than 10 yuan, spun rapidly in the air. It stopped for a moment when it was about to hit the roof and landed. After putting the rabbit meat on the plate, Xiang Kun raised his hand and caught it.

The song on the phone continued. This time, it was Zhang Xueyou. Xiang Kun sang passionately, but of course, he went off tune.

"Against all living things!"

"Killing the justice of the world!"

"Bewildering the masses, Qiushan actually competes with the heavens ~ ~"

"And Red Leaf finally showed his arrogance!"

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door, interrupting Xiang Kun, who was in the middle of preparing the third dish of rabbit meat. He frowned and looked at the door. From the sounds, there were two people outside the door. Judging from the smell, they were both men. The smell of sweat and smoke was strong.

He glanced at his phone. It was already 3 am. Who would come to the door at this time?

Furthermore, every building in their neighborhood had a security system. Logically speaking, they should have pressed the doorbell first. Why would they knock directly?

Xiang Kun thought to himself as he turned off the gas and walked towards the door.

He was not worried about anyone coming to his door. After fighting with the giant owl, he knew that if there were two ordinary people outside the door, unless they had firearms, he would be able to fight them alone.

Moreover, with his recovery ability, he had a high tolerance for mistakes.

However, when he walked past the living room, he still held a screwdriver in his hand.

He looked outside through the peephole and was shocked to find that the security guards of the two districts were standing at the entrance. They were all people he had seen before and were definitely not fake.

After hiding the screwdriver, Xiang Kun opened the door in confusion.

"Mr. Xiang, I'm sorry to disturb you. We rang the doorbell but you didn't answer. We had no choice but to knock on the door," said the older security guard after he opened the door.

Xiang Kun was puzzled. "Did you press the doorbell?" He did not hear it. Was he too focused on cooking and listening on his phone?

"Maybe I was writing code and didn't hear you. Why are you looking for me so late?" Xiang Kun asked casually.

"Mr. Xiang, if you want to sing at home, please lower your voice. It's too late now and the soundproofing here isn't very good. Many homeowners have called to complain that you sang too loudly…" The older security guard said with a strange expression.

Xiang Kun was stunned when he heard that. It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck his brain.

Holy f*ck!? What happened to me just now?

He had clearly thought about not disturbing the people before he started playing the music, so he had only turned on one bar of volume. Why had he unknowingly let himself loose just now?

She did not realize that she was singing along with the music.

"Mr. Xiang, Mr. Xiang?"

The security guard was surprised to see Xiang Kun petrified.

Xiang Kun came back to his senses and quickly clasped his hands together to apologize to them. "I'm really sorry, I'm really sorry, I'm really sorry. I was too engrossed in writing the code and accidentally sang along with it. I didn't even realize it."

"Yes, Mr. Xiang, please be careful." The security guard did not think there was anything wrong with Xiang Kun's explanation. In fact, they had thought that Xiang Kun was drunk and acting crazy. However, when they opened the door, they could tell that he was very sober and did not smell of alcohol. It seemed like he was really engrossed in listening to music with his earphones and could not help but sing.

However, Xiang Kun's singing was too loud, and there was no music. It was out of tune and out of tune. It was very lethal at night.

After the two security guards left, Xiang Kun closed the door with a serious expression.

He had focused all his attention on the music playing on his phone just now. To a certain extent, it did have the effect of wearing earphones. It would repel and block other sounds to a certain extent. This was also the ability he could accurately capture the required sound from a bunch of noise.

At such a time, the volume of his singing and vocalization might not be able to be reflected clearly. He might not be able to differentiate between the intensity of his singing and his voice might become too loud.

However, Xiang Kun did not think that it was because he had not realized the time and had spoken too loudly. He had just entered a state of high spirits, which was abnormal.

Ever since the mutation, Xiang Kun had been trying his best to remain calm and rational. Even when he was driven by hunger and the desire to drink blood, he still had thoughts of resisting and controlling himself.

After his first mutation, he had instinctively bought a chicken to drink blood at the market. From buying the chicken to drinking the blood, he remembered everything clearly. His body's feelings and brain's thoughts were not taken away.

But he always felt that it wasn't a decision made by his brain, his subjective consciousness, but a deeper level of instinct in his body. That instinct should have come from the same source as the satisfaction and pleasure he felt every time he drank blood, the desire and impatience he felt every time he was hungry.

However, the state he was in earlier was clearly not due to his body's instincts, but his own subjective consciousness.

It was because he knew very well that the entire process was decided by him. It was his own consciousness that was controlling everything.

This made Xiang Kun even more worried because he suddenly realized that he had been paying attention to the changes in his body ever since he had mutated. However, he seemed to have neglected the changes in his mind.
