If Shen Xing hadn't sent him a photo at the beginning, Hong Anjie would never have believed that his other father had suddenly disappeared just now.
He sat on the edge of the bed near the carving table, staring at the empty ground.
Shen Xing squatted on the ground and looked carefully at the place where Hong Bin fell. There was no trace at all, except for the wooden sculpture that had been helped up.
A small piece of the wood carving's base was knocked off, but the damage was not major and it was still not visible after polishing.
"You mean, that man was hit on the head by a falling wooden sculpture, and then you ran out to open the door for me. In just ten seconds, he disappeared?" Hong Anjie asked with a puzzled look on his face. .
"Yes." Shen Xing nodded decisively.
In fact, he was very lucky that he had just taken a photo of the disappeared Hong Bin and sent it to Hong Anjie for confirmation. Otherwise, if this person suddenly disappeared now, he would not be able to explain it clearly even if he was covered with a long mouth.
Hong Anjie was equally distraught at the moment and said: "When I just came out, just in case, I asked my neighbor Uncle Zhao to help me watch the guy at home."
"How about you call me now and ask if there is anything strange?" Shen Xing suggested.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Hong Anjie's phone started to vibrate. He glanced at the phone screen and said with a strange expression: "It's Uncle Zhao calling."
As he spoke, he answered the phone, "Hey, Uncle Zhao, what?! I'll be right over, please, Uncle Zhao!"
After hanging up the phone, Hong Anjie stood up anxiously and said, "Uncle Zhao just said that my father suddenly fainted. He said that he had called an ambulance. I have to rush to the hospital now!"
Shen Xing also stood up: "Is the situation serious?"
Hong Anjie shook his head: "I don't know. You don't have to come with me. Let's see what's going on here first."
As he spoke, he quickly went out and went downstairs.
Hearing the rushing footsteps in the distance, Shen Xing still felt like he was dreaming. He stood at the door of the bedroom, looked back at the place where Hong Bin was lying, and couldn't help but feel scared.
Hong Bin's ferocious face, bulging eyeballs, turned-up lips, and oozing teeth, the sinister scene just now is still vivid in his mind. If he hadn't knocked him to the ground quickly, he might have been bitten on the carotid artery.
"Is this... a human being, a ghost, or a beast?"
While thinking about it, Shen Xing went to the kitchen to get a sharp kitchen knife, turned on all the lights in the room, and then searched bit by bit.
He spent about half an hour searching every corner, cabinet, sofa and bed in the rental house. After making sure that he didn't see anything strange, he felt a little relieved.
I went back to the kitchen, put away the kitchen knives, tidied up the house, locked the living room door, and especially wiped the upright photo frame on the workbench near the window carefully to make sure it was not covered with dust.
The photo in the frame is of a young long-haired woman, wearing a white T-shirt, a pair of denim overalls, and a pair of white mesh shoes. She leans on her left shoulder under the sycamore tree. The smile on her face is very sweet, but it seems that this picture will last forever. Fixed in that moment.
After cleaning the house, Hong Anjie called not long after and told Shen Xing that his father was fine. He was currently awake in the hospital, talking and thinking normally, and was in good spirits.
Ever since this kid left, Shen Xing has been thinking about it.
The Hong Bin in his room now has disappeared after his head injury. If he were an ordinary person, it would be impossible for him to disappear. This is beyond common sense, so the possibility of this Hong Bin being fake is the highest.
Although the one in Hong Anjie's family seems to be acting abnormally, except for this, everything else is normal. For example, he can communicate with himself like ordinary people and will not attack others, let alone bite them.
As for why the fake Hong Bin appeared, and why did he attack people? It is currently unknown, and Shen Xing cannot deduce any results based on the clues he currently knows.
After throwing away the rubbish in the house, he returned to the bedroom, turned on his phone, and pulled out the strange photo of Hong Bin that he had taken before. After looking at it for a long time, he seemed to be no different from the one in Hong Anjie's house.
Shen Xing couldn't help but reach out and touch the half-body sculpture lying next to his hand.
At this moment, he suddenly froze, looking surprised, and a line of silver-white text that seemed to be within reach suddenly appeared in his mind.
[Hong Bin, the current characteristic understanding level is 20%. 】
This line of text appears for about five seconds and then disappears quickly.
As usual, since time travel and rebirth, Shen Xing has never believed that he does not have a system father. He has been trying to activate his golden finger in different ways, but to no avail.
But I never thought that in this situation, it seemed that my golden finger had appeared!
Then Shen Xing felt some interference and itching in his right eye, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand to rub his eye.
Just as he put down his hand, his eyes happened to see the bust sculpture placed on the workbench. At this moment, a black shadow was curled up among the wood sculptures. The silhouette of this shadow was exactly the same as Hong Bin.
"Hong Bin?" Shen Xing asked in surprise: "He was actually included in the wood carving?"
The shadow in this wooden sculpture is motionless, as if it will never move again, just maintaining a curled up posture.
Shen Xing tentatively reached out and touched the wood carving, but he could only touch the surface of the wood carving, and Hong Bin's black shadow seemed to be hidden inside the wood carving.
Of course at this moment, he would not directly tear the wood sculpture in half, but he was curious as to why he could see directly through the surface of the wood sculpture and see Hong Bin curled up inside!
Now it seems that the reason why Hong Bin, who was hit by the wood sculpture just now, suddenly disappeared has been found.
His right eye felt itchy again. Shen Xing couldn't help but rub his eyes and turned his gaze away from staring at the wooden sculpture.
At this moment, he found three lines of translucent text appearing in the corner of his eyes.
There are four words written on the left side of the first line of text at the top: Spiritual Antibodies.
To the right of "Psychic Antibodies" is a gray progress bar shape, with a line of text "Antibody Level 0" appearing on the surface of the progress bar.
There are four words written on the left side of the second line of text: Physical Strength.
There is also a progress bar to the right of "Body Strength", and the text floating above the surface is "Mortal Body 37%".
The third line of text is very simple, with the words "latent skills" written on it, but next to these three words, "none" is directly displayed.
Staring at these three lines of text and the progress bar, Shen Xing had good reason to suspect that the reason for their appearance was related to the fact that the wood sculpture hit Hong Bin and then absorbed Hong Bin into his own bust sculpture.
He didn't know why these things appeared, but it was obvious that after the wooden sculpture hit Hong Bin, Hong Bin disappeared, and then his shadow appeared in the wooden sculpture, allowing him to see it, and there were also these three inexplicable progresses. strip.
Although the content of the progress bar is actually easy to understand according to the literal meaning, Shen Xing does not believe that they will appear before the wooden sculpture hits Hong Bin.
The whole story must be that after the wood carving hit Hong Bin, he accidentally stored it, and then activated the wood carving system, causing it to display three attribute values.
Moreover, the progress bar keeps rotating with his sight, and it is impossible for others to see it. As for the black shadow inside the wooden sculpture, there is a high probability that only you can see it.
"It's actually inspired like this, what a stupid system!" Shen Xing said to himself.
