The passengers in the carriage were so agitated that even the male passenger who had been hogging the seats would tremble with fear. Once their emotions ran high, there was a real tendency for them to come to blows.

So when the female flight attendant arrived with a police officer, they saw the previously unruly male passenger, pale and sweating profusely, leaving the carriage and rushing back, repeatedly saying, "I'm going to find my seat, I'm going to my seat right now..."

In the other carriage, watching the male passenger who had refused to give up his seat flee in a sorry state, the other passengers were still discussing it enthusiastically. After what had just happened, they seemed to have become much closer to each other, and for a moment the carriage was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Xiang Kun also breathed a sigh of relief. If the other passengers had really lost their temper and started fighting, things could have gotten out of hand in the heat of the moment. If someone had actually been beaten to death, that would have been a huge problem.

First, while the person who refused to give up their seat was despicable, they didn't deserve to die. Second, these innocent passengers, especially the first few who started the fight, are likely to be in trouble, and since someone died, the official investigation might uncover something.

After sitting down again, Xiang Kun sighed, realizing that his ability to "Emotional Assimilation" was truly impossible to guard against... others couldn't defend against it, and neither could he.

If we're not careful, our emotions can easily trigger a group effect.

But this ability is indeed powerful; it can subtly influence the emotions of others, making them follow the same path, share the same views, and thus act in unison.

Moreover, others won't feel affected or notice anything strange.

Xiang Kun couldn't help but feel regretful that he was born in the wrong era. If he were in ancient times, this would be a super buff for commanding troops and fighting battles.

Having put himself into a desperate situation where only fighting to the death was possible, he raised his halberd and shouted, "Brothers, charge with me!"

Then all the soldiers under my command would fight with one heart and one mind, perhaps even influencing the enemy soldiers as well, making us invincible! Who can stop us?

Add to that his current superhuman physical abilities and recovery capacity, and in the era of cold weapons, wow, he'd be an absolutely unparalleled warrior!

Hmm, I wonder if those legendary warriors in history, known for their unparalleled bravery, were also vampires?

When did vampires, or rather, blood-eating mutated humans, first emerge?

Since Guo Tianxiang and the Giant Owl existed, Xiang Kun knew that there must be other creatures like himself in this world.

It was already five o'clock in the afternoon Xiang Kun opened the door, the canary flew over and landed on his shoulder, but only chirped briefly.

Xiang Kun immediately understood its meaning. There was a hint of fear and worry in its cry. It was because he had been gone for too many days and it was worried that it would die out there. If it ran out of food and water, it would follow its father.

Xiang Kun observed the canary's condition, cleaned its cage, and changed its food and water.

Although the canary looked a little listless and not in good health, it was nothing serious and I believe it will recover in two or three days with my care.

He then checked on the rabbits in the kitchen and cleaned their cages. During this process, he noticed something unusual about one of the rabbits.

He listened intently for a while, then took the rabbit out and laid it flat on the stove. He then gently stroked the rabbit's lower abdomen with his right thumb and the other four fingers forming a V-shape.

After deciding to open a breeding farm in the future, Xiang Kun found a lot of information about raising rabbits, chickens, ducks, and even cattle and sheep. So, after judging from the smell and sound that the rabbit was acting strangely, he suspected that it might be pregnant.

After confirming that the rabbit was indeed pregnant, Xiang Kun couldn't help but shake his head and put it back in the cage. It seemed he would have to take it to the breeding farm tomorrow to get another one. But that was also a good thing, as he only had three rabbits left at home and needed to buy two more as a precaution—he was worried that his "appetite" would increase after drinking Guo Tianxiang's blood.

Xiang Kun returned to the living room, took a bucket and placed it on the dining table, then opened a bottle of wine he had bought at the supermarket on his way back and poured it into a specially purchased stemmed glass.

Following the movements of Guo Tianxiang in the scene, he gently shook the wine glass by pressing the base, then brought it close to his nose and smelled it.

Well, Xiang Kun's sense of smell is too sensitive; he can detect all sorts of aromas in one sniff. However, he's not familiar with wine, so he can't distinguish the names of those aromas in detail. Besides, this wine is quite ordinary; he can't really tell what's good about it from the smell.

I've heard that skilled sommeliers earn quite a lot of money. If I train myself, maybe I can also make a living that way?

Xiang Kun pondered this, he tilted his head back and drank half a glass of wine, then started timing on his phone.

Twenty seconds passed with no reaction, indicating that wine is not the type to react immediately.

So he sat quietly and waited. After twenty-one minutes, he felt nauseous and bent over to vomit the red wine into the bucket.

Xiang Kun frowned as he looked at the wine bottle in front of him. Just as he had predicted, the wine was no exception; it too would be rejected by the stomach.

Did Guo Tianxiang really drink red wine at the bar and then vomit it up a while later? Would that be really necessary?

Xiang Kun poured a little more red wine, then stared at the liquid in the glass, focusing his attention solely on the wine and deliberately ignoring the surrounding environment, including the table and even the glass itself.

Then they began searching through Guo Tianxiang's memory fragments, attempting to locate him using the red wine.

Images finally began to appear in his mind, and the search yielded results. But to Xiang Kun's surprise, he saw not only scenes of drinking red wine, but also scenes of drinking blood, and the blood was also placed in a red wine glass.

He even saw Guo Tianxiang in a place resembling a farm. In a simple warehouse, there were two wine glasses on a wooden table, one for red wine and the other for fresh blood. Guo Tianxiang first drank the blood in one gulp, then drank the red wine in another. In the distance, near the warehouse, he could see a goat that had been bled and was bleating.

Xiang Kun suddenly realized how Guo Tianxiang had gotten him to drink the red wine.

"Will this work?"

He decided to experiment, so he took out a non-pregnant rabbit, used a measuring cup to collect 55ml of rabbit blood, and put it together with 50ml of red wine.

Xiang Kun waited a while before drinking it.

He was worried that drinking blood too early would disrupt his blood-drinking cycle and make him sleepy later.

He had previously tested this; the effects of blood on him would rapidly decrease after 1-3 minutes, but before it completely coagulated, his stomach would not reject it and he wouldn't vomit. However, if the blood was made into blood tofu or other blood products, there was no way to eat it; like other foods, he would vomit it up after eating it.

Two minutes later, Xiang Kun finished drinking the rabbit blood, and then immediately drank the red wine.

He felt something strange in his stomach, as if it were protesting against him; it was a feeling he hadn't experienced from simply drinking red wine or rabbit blood.
