After seeing Lin Wanru lying downstairs, Shen Xing said "Huh" the next second and noticed that the properties of the mental antibodies under the corners of his eyes had changed at some point.
The previous mental antibody attribute column was displayed as "antibody level 3", and the progress bar was also in the attribute color of level 3.
And now the antibody level has dropped below level 1, which is displayed as "antibody level 1", and the attribute color in the progress bar has also faded to the white state when it has not been completely filled. It is only a little bit short of returning to normal. to level 2.
Looking at it this way, it seemed that after encountering Lin Wanru just now, he had unknowingly consumed his mental antibodies, otherwise he would not have been able to survive until now.
The function of mental antibodies seems to be to resist mental attacks or mental damage after encountering ghosts.
But this also proves that the previous improvement in antibodies is not a permanent improvement, but will be consumed and then replenished.
There is no time to think about it now. If not for the increase in body strength and the strange increase in the strength of his hands, how could he have thrown Lin Wanru out just now?
Fortunately!
Shen Xing took another look at the alley downstairs. Lin Wanru's body was still lying on the ground.
At this time, there was no one around the alley.
But it cannot be ruled out that the residents upstairs were not awakened by the noise just now, and someone may get up soon to check.
Report to the Sheriff immediately!
Shen Xing came back to his senses and remembered that the police officer named Xiong Wei had left a phone number for him. He quickly turned around and walked out of the bathroom and went into the bedroom to get the other party's business card.
In the process, I recalled the shock that the bloodshot left eye brought me when I saw Lin Wanru just now.
"The so-called 'blood pupil' must be related to Lin Wanru's bloodshot eyeball..."
An idea came to mind.
Suddenly, the silver-white text in his mind changed.
[Blood Pupil, current understanding level of characteristics is 5%. 】
Shen Xing was startled and immediately stopped. Looking at the changes in the words in his mind, he did not move anymore. Instead, he thought about it and came up with a convinced thought: "Lin Wanru's ability to deceive corpses may have something to do with this blood pupil... …”
[Blood Pupil, current understanding of characteristics is 15%. 】
Seeing this, Shen Xing immediately became energetic.
He pondered for a moment, and then an idea came to his mind again: "Lin Wanru's eyes mutated after her death. After turning into a blood pupil, Lin Wanru pretended to be dead, so the body returned to the neighborhood she was familiar with."
After the idea came up, I waited for a while, but the understanding of the characteristics in my mind did not change. It seemed that I had guessed wrong.
Shen Xing frowned, and after thinking about it carefully, he continued to guess: "The blood pupils are not caused by mutation, but they can be controlled by Lin Wanru."
After waiting for a while, there was still no response.
It seems that I guessed wrong again!
Time is tight and cannot be delayed for too long. Otherwise, if the neighbor does not call the police after discovering the body downstairs, the Sheriff may be suspected of deliberately hiding something.
Shen Xing walked into the bedroom, turned on the light, picked up Sheriff Xiong Wei's business card, and was about to make a call when another thought suddenly came to his mind.
"Could it be that Xue Tong... controlled Lin Wanru..."
This idea just came up, and it was almost not fully formed. The silver-white words in my mind suddenly changed.
[Blood Pupil, current understanding of characteristics is 50%. 】
"Damn it! Your level of understanding has increased so much in one fell swoop!" Shen Xing was surprised.
"It was Xue Tong who controlled Lin Wanru?!" He murmured to himself.
I looked at the half-length wooden sculpture of Hong Bin.
At this moment, an idea that he had never had before came out of his heart. The idea was so bizarre that Shen Xing trembled in his heart.
However, he picked up his cell phone and called Xiong Wei first. He originally thought that the other party might still be sleeping and might not answer, but he didn't expect that the phone only rang once and he answered.
After roughly explaining what happened, the person on the phone was obviously surprised.
"What? Where is Lin Wanru's body?!" From Xiong Wei's tone, it seemed that he was worrying about this matter, "We discovered that her body was missing an hour ago, don't go away, I will bring someone over right away. "
After hanging up the phone, Shen Xing had no time to think about it. Before the Sheriff arrived, he had to put his sudden thought into action.
I grabbed a 0.8cm arc knife for engraving from the workbench, held it in my hand, and rushed out of the living room.
He quickly put on a pair of flat shoes, opened the living room door, and trotted downstairs.
The previous "Hong Bin" could be put into the wood sculpture by being touched by the half-length wood sculpture, allowing Shen Xing to gaze at the wood sculpture to enhance his mental resistance, so he guessed that the "blood pupil" was so weird, maybe the same could be done.
This idea appeared so suddenly that even now, Shen Xing himself felt a little weird.
He had actually considered carrying a curved knife instead of a flat knife. The curved edge of a curved knife makes it easier to "dig", while a flat knife has a flat surface and would definitely be inconvenient for cutting. .
As he was going downstairs, he could hear faint voices coming from inside the building. A neighbor must have been awakened by the noise just now. He might have discovered Lin Wanru lying downstairs, and he might have reported it to the sheriff. must.
same moment.
In the alley behind the community building.
There are usually very few pedestrians in this alley, because nearby residents will conveniently leave some garbage bags filled with garbage, causing sewage to flow across the ground at any time, and a pungent smell will waft from time to time.
Although people come to clean every week, the status quo seems to have never changed.
At this moment, a khaki mangy dog was sniffing the ground while approaching the place where Lin Wanru fell.
It seemed to smell the smell of blood, but in this smell of blood, there was a vague danger hidden.
As an old dog, the sensitivity to danger is almost innate. The mangy dog stood there, looking at the corpse not far away, and fell into a struggle.
But after a while, a strange attraction overcame the mangy dog's fear of the corpse.
It was completely close to Lin Wanru's body, its nose was twitching more frequently, and it was sniffing around the body.
Just as Shen Xing ran into the alley with the arc knife in his hand, the mangy dog suddenly let out a howl and fled in panic from where the body was. It passed by Shen Xing's feet without turning around, wiping a lot of the dirt on his body. On the legs of Shen Xing's pajamas.
Shen Xing was also startled. When he saw clearly that it was a mangy dog, the dog quickly disappeared.
Time was running out and he had no time to pay attention to the wild dogs. He turned around and walked quickly towards Lin Wanru's body.
Lin Wanru was lying next to an overturned green trash can, with a puddle of black sewage under her body, and the smell was overwhelming.
Shen Xing didn't care so much. He held the arc knife in his hand and squatted down. He looked carefully at Lin Wanru's face and found that her eyes were closed.
After a slight pause, suppressing the instinctive resistance and nausea in his heart, Shen Xing held the arc knife in one hand, pressed Lin Wanru's closed eyelid with the other, then pulled up the eyelid of the left eye, and was stunned.
There was nothing under his eyelids, nothing in the black hole.
The bloodshot eyeballs disappeared!
