Xiang Kun called Tang Baona to the aisle outside the private room and whispered, "I'm feeling a bit unwell, so I'll be leaving now. Please tell Zhen'er and my friends for me."
Tang Baona looked at him with surprise and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Did you catch a cold because the weather has gotten colder lately?"
"It's nothing, I'll just go back and get some sleep. You guys have fun. Oh, right, I think I forgot to mention, happy birthday." Although he was starting to feel hungry, Xiang Kun didn't seem to be acting any differently on the surface.
When the mutation first started, he had already conducted experiments and statistics. The longest he could endure between feeling hungry and wanting to drink blood was 22 hours. At night, it would take 4 hours before he would start to show signs of being unable to suppress his anxiety.
However, he was also well aware that when he was hungry, especially at night, his emotions could easily get out of control, like dry firewood that could ignite at any moment, leading to behaviors he himself could not predict. Therefore, it was safer for him to go home early, drink blood, and sleep.
"Thank you! Oh, right, the birthday cake hasn't been cut yet, do you want to finish it before you leave?" But as soon as she finished speaking, she remembered something and said, "Oh, I almost forgot you're not a fan of sweets. You should go back and rest. It's a pity, I was hoping to hear you sing another song. You sang so well just now, it was like telling a story, I was completely drawn into the emotions of that song..."
As they were talking, two young men, clearly quite drunk, walked down the aisle. One of them, a tall man in a pink T-shirt, had obviously overheard Tang Baona's words. He stopped with a grin and said, "Hey, miss, I sing really well too! Come to our private room and I'll sing for you. I know all the popular songs right now, just pick whatever you like. If I don't sing well, you can hit me on the head with a bottle, okay? There are several handsome guys in our room too..."
Tang Baona frowned slightly, about to say something, Xiang Kun suddenly attacked, grabbing the tall young man by the neck and lifting him up, slamming him against the wall of the corridor.
Although Xiang Kun immediately let go, the young man still covered his throat and bent over coughing.
The other young man was also startled and instinctively jumped back several steps before approaching again. But when he saw the bald man who had suddenly grabbed his companion and easily lifted him up like a chicken, slamming him against the wall, and then turned back to look at him expressionlessly, he immediately froze.
Then he noticed that the bald man's eyes, hidden behind his glasses, seemed somewhat unfocused, as if his gaze wasn't directed at him but somewhere else, and strangely, there was even a hint of innocence and confusion in them?
But that expression only made him feel more terrified. He swallowed back the curse that was already on the tip of his tongue and carefully moved along the aisle wall to pull his companion, who was clutching his Adam's apple and looking uncomfortable, away.
The tall young man in the pink T-shirt shook off his companion's hand, looked up angrily at Xiang Kun, and said, "You..."
Xiang Kun didn't meet his gaze; his eyes remained unfocused, his expression a mixture of innocence and confusion, as if to say, "Why are you looking at me? I didn't do anything."
The tall young man glared at Xiang Kun with wide eyes, his fists clenched as if he wanted to fight, but after hesitating for a moment, he only uttered a harsh "You wait!" before being half-heartedly dragged away by his companions.
They naturally didn't know that Xiang Kun regretted it the moment he grabbed the tall young man, realizing that he was being irritated by hunger. So he controlled his strength immediately. It was called a slam, but in reality, he only "pressed" the tall young man against the wall for a moment. The movement looked big, but it didn't actually cause any harm.
After making his move, Xiang Kun deliberately shifted his attention away from the two people, ignoring them and repeatedly chanting in his mind. "Don't get angry, don't get angry, anger will ruin your health and no one can take your place. If I die of anger, who will benefit... Relic, form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from form; form is emptiness, emptiness is form; so too are feeling, perception, volition, and consciousness..."
He knew he shouldn't have acted directly; there was a better way to handle it. Normally it wouldn't be a big deal, but if a fight broke out now, and he ended up being taken to the police station for questioning, it would take a lot of time. Every minute he delayed now meant more uncertainty.
He didn't even dare to focus his attention on the two young men. It was nighttime, and they were already hungry and craving blood. He was afraid that he might subconsciously use "Mental Intimidation," which would then backfire and cause him to lose control and kill the two men on the spot. That would be a disaster.
Fortunately, the two of them didn't cause any further trouble.
Tang Baona also breathed a sigh of relief, patting her chest and saying, "You scared me! I thought you were going to fight."
She was genuinely startled by Xiang Kun's sudden attack. By the time she reacted and tried to break up the fight, the two men had already run away.
To be honest, Xiang Kun's performance just now did surprise her somewhat.
Although she and Yang Zhen'er had seen the video of Xiang Kun kicking a knife-wielding assailant downstairs in their rented apartment, and had also witnessed Xiang Kun apprehending a wanted criminal and subduing a human trafficker in one move, their impression of Xiang Kun was that he was mostly a gentle and patient person. Even when dealing with wanted criminals and human traffickers, he always appeared calm, composed, and collected, giving the impression that he had everything under control.
But in that instant, she clearly felt the violent and even ferocious aura emanating from Xiang Kun. In that moment, Xiang Kun gave her the feeling of a ferocious beast ready to devour its prey.
Xiang Kun controlled his emotions and relaxed his body, saying to Tang Baona, "I'm sorry, I acted impulsively just now. You should go back to the private room. I'll be leaving now."
"Okay, be careful on the road, and go home to rest early."
Although he really wanted to go home and drink blood right away, after saying goodbye to Xiang Kun Tang Baona, Xiang Kun did not leave the KTV immediately. Instead, he walked around the corridor and followed the scent of the two young men to find their private room.
Xiang Kun was a little worried, fearing that these two people, who hadn't lashed out just now, might later send people to cause trouble in Tang Baona's private room.
If Tang Baona, Yang Zhen'er, and their friends are harmed because of his own actions, then his sin will be immense.
He needed to confirm whether these two would make any further moves.
Instead of going directly to the private room where the two people were, he stood two rooms away, leaning against a corner, looking down at his phone, making it seem like he was a customer from a nearby room making a call.
Xiang Kun focused his auditory attention on the private room and soon heard the voices of the two young men.
"... Holy crap, that bald guy seems a bit off. That look in his eyes, that expression, he just looks pretty creepy!" The voice belonged to the tall young man's companion.
"Yeah, damn it, he just choked me, then stared wide-eyed with an innocent look on his face. It was kind of creepy, it even sobered me up..." The voice belonged to the tall young man whose neck Xiang Kun had choked.
Xiang Kun at the corner of the corridor, looked utterly bewildered. "I clearly controlled my 'Mental Intimidation,' and I didn't focus my attention on the two of them. I certainly wasn't experiencing 'Emotional Assimilation' at that time. Why do you say I look perverted and creepy??"
Xiang Kun felt inexplicably annoyed and wronged.
"Holy crap? That's awesome, grabbing you by the neck and slamming you against the wall? Brother Dong, Little Qi and the others have been bullied, we can't just let this go, right? Let's all go over and see what that perverted bald guy looks like? He shouldn't have gone far, right?" This voice should belong to someone who was originally in the private room.
"A Hua, the person you just said choked Little Qi, was he bald?" Another voice sounded familiar to Xiang Kun.
