As the black shadow Yao Tong was sucked into the wood carving, the gloomy feeling that had been given to Shen Xing just now in this room, including this floor space, disappeared.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that this was an ordinary room. The only difference was that there were two mummies on the bed and a girl with a calm face lying on the ground.
Achai stood behind Shen Xing, staring with some horror at the wooden sculpture that looked like Yao Tong in Shen Xing's hand.
Although he didn't know exactly what was going on, he could vaguely guess that Shen Xing's method of recovering Yao Tong had a lot to do with this wood carving.
Thinking of this, Achai unconsciously took several steps back, his eyes filled with a strong sense of fear as he looked at the wooden sculpture.
From now on, he vowed to stay away from Shen Xing's wood carvings. This looked a hundred times scarier than Yao Tong chasing him with a kitchen knife!
Things here are over, but Shen Xing wants to clean up the follow-up matters.
He turned to look at Achai. He was surprised at first when this guy was so far away from him. He seemed to be behind him just now. Then he said, "Check this building to see if there are any other residents."
Achai immediately wrote on the ground and replied that I had checked just now. In the entire old building, except for the merchants on the first floor who were active during the day and the Yao family living on the fourth floor, other people had moved out.
Shen Xing nodded, this would make things much easier to handle.
"Can you remove the surveillance video of me on this street?" he asked again.
Achai nodded immediately.
"After removing it, how long will it take to erase all traces of our presence in this room?" Shen Xing knew that Ah Chai was very capable of concealment and was good at this type of work.
About half an hour or so.
Achai's answer also made Shen Xing very satisfied.
"After erasing the traces here, you can use the method of falling asleep to find a smart homeless man on the street, not drunk, and guide him into this old building." Shen Xing ordered, "You must let him see Everything here, then report it to the Sheriff, and you can’t leave until he reports it to the Sheriff.”
Achai nodded, roughly understanding Shen Xing's intention, and then got out of the window and followed the route along the street to clear the monitor that had left an image of Shen Xing.
Shen Xing looked at the time. It was less than four in the morning. It should be enough for Achai to finish what he had entrusted to him before dawn.
He once again took a deep look at Yao Tong lying on the ground. Despite the girl's emaciated figure after being tortured for the past few years, Yao Tong's facial features were not bad, with long eyelashes and slender fingers.
He withdrew his gaze and looked at the wood carving in his hand. The wood carving showed a black shadow that only Shen Xing could see. It was exactly the same as Yao Tong lying on the ground, except that the other one was black.
Because the split Yao Tong represents evil and there is no room for redemption, so in Shen Xing's eyes, the surface of the wood sculpture seems to be surrounded by a layer of black, revealing a sense of tearing and uncertainty. , a factor that makes people feel vaguely uneasy.
"I wonder if I can absorb this characteristic directly?" He hesitated.
Without touching anything else here, I walked out of the room, followed the corridor down the stairs to the street, and quickly crossed the street and entered the hotel.
After Achai cleans up all the traces there, the scene will no longer seem to have anything to do with the abnormality.
Even if the Sheriff receives a call and arrives, because the investigation will reveal that Yao Tong of this family has a history of mental illness, it will only be investigated as an ordinary case.
As long as there are no traces of abnormality in the house, the case will not be handed over to the special investigation team. If the special investigation team does not come forward, it will not be linked to him.
On the other hand, Yao Tong herself, although she might wake up after a few hours of coma, but because she has no previous memory, the Sheriff will not be able to find anything from her investigation.
But it is obvious that the death of her parents has a lot to do with Yao Tong, so she will most likely be imprisoned in a mental hospital.
In the mental hospital, Yao Tong, who has lost his memory, can adjust his mood and slowly recover.
After the Sheriff's side tests her again in the future and confirms that she no longer has symptoms of schizophrenia, she may be discharged from the hospital.
Sitting in the hotel room, looking at the wood carving in front of me, this wood carving that was originally Zhong Po III has now completely transformed into Yao Tong.
I looked at the calendar on my phone again. Starting from tomorrow, a new round of weekly killings will come.
Shen Xing couldn't help but smile helplessly.
He originally had the trump card to deal with the nun iii, but now he has become a Yao Tong, but he can't wait until he gets home before carving a wooden sculpture of the nun, so he has to find a way to find it after leaving here tomorrow. Use a better piece of wood and make a Zhongpo III wood carving.
If he didn't do this, it would be difficult for him to feel at ease when a new round of weekly killings began.
At this time, Shen Xing's black tendon protective film had receded, and he looked in the bathroom mirror to carefully check the injury on his chest.
After coming out of the dream, I immediately covered the injury on my chest with a black tendon protective film. Now I removed the protective film. Although the scar was still there, it had healed and skipped the scarring step. .
Looking at the unfinished cross pattern, Shen Xing was a little confused, wondering what Yao Tong's subconscious meaning was.
He didn't feel anything strange at this moment. The position on his chest was just an ordinary knife wound.
In addition, he also took a look at the part of his arm that he had cut in his dream. In reality, there was a faint white mark left on that part, which might completely disappear tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, so there was no need to worry.
After taking off his clothes and taking a hot bath, Shen Xing walked out of the bathroom a little tired, put the clothes he would change into tomorrow next to the bed, and then lay down.
At this moment, Achai squeezed through the crack in the door and appeared in front of him.
"Have you dealt with it?" Shen Xing asked.
Achai nodded and wrote in front of him that everything was taken care of. I watched the homeless man run to the public telephone booth on the street to report the crime, and then left.
After answering, Achai unconsciously glanced at the wooden sculpture of Yao Tong placed on the table not far away, obviously a little scared.
Shen Xing noticed this scene and said: "I made those wood carvings to deal with other anomalies. You don't have to be afraid. You will never see wood carvings exactly like you."
After saying this, he put Achai back into the card in his mind.
Speaking of which, if Achai hadn't been good at detecting abnormalities in other people's dreams this time, he might have suffered a big loss.
Even if Shen Xingneng later finds out that he is in Yao Tong's dream, injuries or even life-threatening situations may occur.
Moreover, Achai is also a good hand at cleaning up traces, which he can put to good use in the future. Looking at the instructions on the card, he has had more than fifty flashbacks to this guy, so there is no need to worry about not being able to use him for the time being.
While thinking, he stared out the window at the dark night. When the patrol lights of security vehicles came on downstairs, fatigue came over him, and Shen Xing closed his eyes unknowingly.
I slept for more than five hours, and it was already bright when I woke up.
Because it was basically deep sleep, Shen Xing felt in good spirits after getting up from bed, and did not feel like he had not slept enough.
He walked to the window, opened the curtains a little, and looked downstairs at the street opposite.
I noticed that there was a Sheriff's car parked there on Laolou Street across the street, but it didn't have its lights flashing or its siren honking.
Two police officers were standing at the door leading to the small building, chatting. It was possible that the bodies of Yao Tong's parents had been taken away for autopsy in the early morning.
Yao Tong should have been sent to the hospital by ambulance.
Shen Xing packed his luggage, went to the first floor of the hotel to check out, and chatted with the waitress at the front desk for a while.
This girl is quiet, dignified, and very friendly, but she seems to be a little sleepy. Shen Xing came and went twice last night, and he saw her lying on the front desk, sleeping soundly.
Now when I asked, I found out that she was the only one who went to work yesterday, and everyone else took leave. She had to wait until this afternoon for someone to change shifts.
However, the hotel's surveillance was also handled by Achai, and I don't know what unconventional means he used.
From the girl at the front desk, Shen Xing learned that she was also woken up by the arriving Sheriff's vehicle last night and ran out to watch the excitement for a while.
It was said that two people died in the old building opposite, and a mentally ill girl was also dying and was sent to the hospital.
After learning what happened, it was not much different from what Shen Xing expected, and he quickly left the hotel.
But from this moment on, Shen Xing once again began to watch and listen in all directions, for no other reason than to fear that the beautiful Zhong Po III would suddenly come.
"Wall-Facing One, Wall-Facing One, now I have to wait until I carve another wood carving of Zhong Po before I can meet that Wall-Facing One."
Shen Xing's plan is very clear. Now that the new weekly killing has begun, it is impossible for him not to prepare to deal with the wall-facer and at the same time be further prepared to defend the mother-in-law.
But to be honest, after fighting against Yao Tong, who was an anomaly in the sequence chain, Shen Xing had already raised his guard to the highest level.
So before dealing with the Wall Facer, he felt it was necessary to improve his strength, such as absorbing the characteristics of Yao Tong's wood carving first.
Shen Xing went to the airport terminal and waited for an hour, then queued up to get her boarding pass and got on the plane.
Not long after, the plane took off and left the big city of Heshan in Kuazhou, heading for Jingzhou.
Jingzhou is the most prosperous state in all prefectures and is a leader in urban construction and economic development.
According to the address provided by the "consultant" and Shen Xing's comparison of the location of the wall-facer on the sequence board, the wall-facer was shown to be in Shicheng, Jingzhou.
Shicheng is the most remote city in Jingzhou, and it is also the least economically developed city in Jingzhou.
However, in Shen Xing's view, even if this city is unavailable in Jingzhou, it is still more than twice as good as Yungu City in Kuazhou where he is currently located.
One of the main reasons for the slow development of Shicheng is that the area here is severely desertified. However, in recent years, with the strong support and development of Jingzhou, a large number of green plants have appeared, and the desert has been basically eliminated. Some places are still covered with trees and the living environment is improved. And the quality has been greatly improved.
Although it was his first time to come to Shicheng, Shen Xing felt as if he had returned to Yungu City, except that the construction of buildings and the level of prosperity were still much faster.
After getting off the plane, Shen Xing checked into a hotel outside the airport.
No matter what he does now, he must be careful. Unless the weekly killing is over, he will not let down his guard easily.
After checking into the hotel, Shen Xing did not plan to go out again. Even if he ate, he would order food and have it delivered directly to his room.
I checked online using the hotel computer and found the largest wood art market in Shicheng. This market mainly sells and accepts customized wood furniture, various types of doors and windows, art decoration, wood carvings, etc. It also sells All kinds of low, medium and high-grade wood.
Shen Xing thought that buying wood at such a place would be more guaranteed than other places, so he chose a store that seemed pretty good on the website, wrote down the phone number and called it.
The other party said that the wood he wanted was available in the store, and the two parties agreed on the price over the phone. Shen Xing paid some extra freight and asked the store to deliver the wood directly to the hotel.
After hanging up the phone, while waiting, Shen Xing tried to speak, as if talking to himself: "Consultant, are you here? Can you hear me?"
He asked this two or three times, during which time he stood up and walked around the hotel room.
When I asked the question for the fourth time, a line of text appeared on the carpet under my feet. It felt a bit like Achai squatting on the ground and writing.
It's just that Achai's handwriting was written by himself, and he wrote it in a hurry, so the handwriting is ugly, but the handwriting of "Consultant" is authentic printing, which makes people feel very comfortable.
Have you arrived in Shicheng?
"Yes, we are in the hotel now." Shen Xing nodded, "I would like to know, your request is for me to capture the Wallfacer. If I encounter it, how should I capture it to meet your expected standards?"
Let its actions be restricted and it will be trapped. the consultant replied.
Shen Xing thought for a moment and took out the folded newspaper from his pocket, "If I use the newspaper you gave me to cover the wall-facer's body, does this meet the criteria for him to be trapped?"
Totally true, but only if you can cover it with newspaper.
Shen Xing nodded, knowing that even though he said this, if he could easily cover the wall-faced man with a newspaper, the chance would be very small.
After all, the wall-facer is not a stone. He will just squat there and wait for him to cover it with newspapers.
Thinking of this, he retrieved the information about the Wallfacer from his mind and checked it carefully.
Name: Wallfacer
Sequence level: medium to high sequence
Sequence Analogy: Category II
Sequence Source: Fear
Trigger: Extreme shame
Description of this category: It is a complex of contradictions, longing for people's approval and afraid of meeting anyone. Its appearance is different every time. Once someone sees the current back, it will follow it until the target changes to the appearance it likes. Remember, don’t try to turn it around, or you will do so at your own risk!
First of all, this guy's level is probably the highest I've ever encountered, except for the 3rd level witch. It's a mid-to-high level.
Shen Xing was indeed unsure of how to deal with this anomaly, but if he was just trying to find a way to capture the opponent, that would be a different story.
Besides, I still have to absorb Yao Tong's characteristics once, and I can also use "one-third" of the newspaper's space as a powerful auxiliary means.
Secondly, Shen Xing believes that as long as he sees the back of the person facing the wall, he will be stared at by the other person. It should not be as bad as just looking at him and causing disaster.
The sighting here may require a long period of attention, or at least active attention to the back of the wall-facer, before something bad happens. For example, being followed by it like a shadow.
