Because she was worried, Shen Xing was very focused at the moment and was carving very quickly.
And he was afraid that the reminder that the weekly killing was complete had never come, which would mean that this weekly killing was not over at all, and that other breeders would come, so he couldn't let go.
With a high degree of concentration and carefulness, the wood carvings of Zhong Po I in front of me are lifelike, and the precision of the carvings is even better than before.
It was almost twelve o'clock in the morning, and the woman whom I had just seen in front of the trash can completely appeared before my eyes.
Because the light downstairs was relatively dim just now, part of the woman's wooden face and clothes also showed a dim luster. Coupled with her extremely ordinary face, she suddenly looked a bit unique. Mother-in-law's strange feeling.
Shen Xing carefully refined it, and without having time to apply wax, he directly began to absorb the characteristics of this woman.
He took the air tank that had temporarily absorbed Zhong Po I, pointed the entrance and exit in front of the wood carving, and pressed the release button.
Not long after, the twisted black shadow of the woman was instantly absorbed by the wood sculpture. If Shen Xing had not had previous experience and had predicted it in advance, he would not have been able to see the moment when the black shadow was absorbed by the wood sculpture.
He immediately lowered his head and looked at the position on his waist to see if the place where the three fingers had been inserted had changed. Would three fingers appear again from the original wound position? After absorbing it, it came out of his own body and entered the wood carving.
However, after carefully looking and sensing, he found that there was no change.
The place where the three fingers went in has not changed. The skin looks smooth and there are no wounds, but there is no sign that the fingers are coming out.
"Still in the flesh?"
Shen Xing was stunned, and looked up at the wood carving in his hand, and found that inside the wood carving was the shadow of the woman just now. On the right hand of the shadow, three fingers were still severed, which could be seen clearly.
Looking at it this way, it seems that these three severed fingers that have been integrated into his body cannot come out, because they cannot be absorbed by the wood carving without leaving Zhong Po I's body.
There is still no reward prompt in my mind for completing this weekly kill.
Shen Xing now doesn't know whether he has completed the weekly killing, which makes him worried. He may have to be wary of whether other kindred women will continue to kill him during the week.
After looking at the dark shadow of Zhong Po I in the wood carving, Shen Xing hesitated for a moment and directly activated the absorption command.
The wooden sculpture in front of him shook slightly, and the characteristics belonging to Zhong Po I disappeared instantly. Shen Xing immediately began to feel the changes after absorbing this characteristic.
Unexpectedly, after feeling it for a long time, there was no change.
"The characteristics of this bitch? They can't be so low, right?" Shen Xing felt carefully.
It wasn't until ten minutes later that he finally believed his guess.
I don’t know the reason now. Although it seems that the characteristics of this grandmother have been absorbed by myself, in fact, this characteristic does not work on myself.
After thinking about it, it may be due to incomplete absorption. That is, the three severed fingers are still in the body and have not absorbed the characteristics after entering the wood carving. Therefore, the effectiveness of this characteristic cannot be exerted.
Now he didn't know what to do. There was no way he could dig a hole in his body and dig out the three fingers that seemed to have melted.
Putting down the wooden sculpture of Zhong Po I, Shen Xing thought carefully for a while. Although there were many guesses, he could not know the answer for the time being, so he simply had to take one step at a time.
I went to the bathroom to wash up, then returned to bed and lay there until two in the morning.
Now there is a good thing, that is, Shen Xing will not worry about the caste coming to hunt him down after falling asleep. It may be because of the unique search mechanism of the same caste, which causes the target to temporarily disappear and become helpless if he falls asleep. The status of the search.
This can prove that the mother-in-law found Shen Xing not with her eyes, or through some clues and other information left by Shen Xing? There is an essential difference.
So before all the nuns are eliminated, even if Shen Xing hides three thousand feet underground, when it's time to kill Zhou, such nuns will still appear around him without fail.
When Shen Xing fell asleep in a daze, he had only one thought in his mind. From now on, it would be better for him to avoid encountering anomalies of the same caste in the same chain as this, otherwise he would most likely offend the one with the lowest rank. But But it angered the one with the highest rank.
So far, according to the mechanism of five anomalies in a sequence chain, there is a kind of mother-in-law that I have never seen before.
Of course, according to the trend of characteristic intensity increasing with the sequence, it is possible that after meeting this kindred lady, he will never have the chance to meet anyone again.
She slept soundly this time, and Shen Xing was woken up by being shaken.
When he woke up, he saw Feifei standing next to the bed, who had already washed her face and gargled, looking at him with a somewhat surprised expression on her face.
"Uncle, how long did you sleep last night?" Feifei said in surprise: "If you still want to sleep, I can go out and take a taxi to school by myself. It will be quick."
"No need." Shen Xing shook his head, sat up from the bed and looked at his phone.
He found that the alarm on his cell phone had already rang, but he pressed it to stop without knowing when. He might have been so confused that he fell asleep again after doing this.
"If you don't get enough rest, riding a motorcycle will be dangerous." Feifei was still worried.
"Then I won't ride a motorcycle." Shen Xing said, "I'll take a taxi to take you there."
Feifei knew that she couldn't convince him, but she could deeply feel Shen Xing's concern for her, so she didn't say anything more.
Shen Xing still felt a little dizzy after getting up due to lack of sleep. It was indeed difficult to ride a motorcycle in this state.
After getting ready, he put the backpack containing the two wood carvings of Zhongpo on his shoulders. Feifei was used to carrying the backpack with him at all times, so he didn't ask any questions at all.
Anyway, in Feifei's view, Uncle Shen is not a normal person.
The two of them went out and took a taxi on the street. After arriving at the school, Shen Xing bought Feifei a marinated egg at the school gate. After peeling it for her, she waited for her to eat it one bite at a time before entering the school. Then he turned around and left.
Feifei likes to eat braised eggs very much, because when she was a child, she liked to eat eggs with this taste before her sense of taste disappeared.
This caused the taste memory to stay in her mind after the sense of taste disappeared. Even though her tongue can no longer feel the taste, she still likes to stuff braised eggs into her mouth and chew them, and her mind is filled with the aroma of braised eggs. .
Shen Xing has no plans to go to the woodcarving shop. He wants to go home to catch up on his nap. Moreover, he is not sure whether the weekly killings are over. It is possible that during the opening of the shop, the next customer who comes in will be one of the grandmothers.
Before this week is over, it's best to be careful.
Returning to Dahu Apartment, Shen Xing continued to fall asleep after entering the room.
He slept until 12 noon when he suddenly woke up and felt that something had just happened. He opened his eyes and looked around, but there was nothing unusual.
Then he touched his mobile phone and took a look at it. It showed that there was a missed call.
Because he had set his phone to silent just now, it didn't ring at all, but although Shen Xing didn't hear the ring, he woke up with a strange feeling.
When he turned on his phone, a series of unfamiliar phone numbers were displayed. Shen Xing felt that it might be a real estate agency or something. He was about to put down the phone when suddenly the screen lit up again, and the same number appeared again, and the other party called again.
After a moment of confusion, Shen Xing did not hang up, but pressed the answer button.
"Hello?"
"Hello, are you Mr. Shen, the owner of the woodcarving shop?" A woman's voice came from the other end of the phone.
This voice seemed familiar, but I couldn't remember where I'd heard it before.
"Yes, I am." Shen Xing sat up from the bed.
The woman said: "Fortunately, I left you a business card last time. Well, I am Xia Hongyu, do you remember?"
Shen Xing suddenly realized it and smiled: "Of course I remember, you are my important customer. What can I do? Do you need to order a wood carving?"
Xia Hongyu sounded a little noisy, as if she was on the street, and said: "I'm outside your wood carving shop now. I saw that you didn't open the door today, so I called. Mr. Shen, are you still coming today? ? I have something urgent to ask you here."
Shen Xing originally planned to either not go, or to wait until later in the afternoon even if he wanted to open the store. He replied: "You may not come. If you have anything, you can talk on the phone."
"No, I couldn't explain it clearly on the phone." Xia Hongyu was a little embarrassed, paused, and then said, "Otherwise... Mr. Shen, where are you? I'll come find you. Sorry, this matter is really important. You have to explain it clearly in person.”
Shen Xing didn't know what she wanted to say, but the other party's voice sounded really urgent.
He thought for a while and said, "Okay then, you come to Dahu Apartment, call me when you get to the apartment door, and I will come down to pick you up."
"Thank you, thank you!" Xia Hongyu hung up the phone.
Shen Xing knew that she drove her own car and might come here soon, and the wood carving shop was not too far from the apartment, so he got up immediately.
Open the window of the room, wait for it to ventilate, then go to the bathroom, wash your face, and simply tidy up the room.
This upcoming woman is very particular, and Shen Xing knows this very well. You can tell by looking at her dress, so since she comes to see her when she has something to do, she can't give people a bad impression of being sloppy.
Fortunately, he usually likes to be clean himself, and so does Feifei, so the house is not very messy.
About six or seven minutes later, Shen Xing's phone rang again. It was Xia Hongyu who said Mingming had arrived at the apartment.
Because of her extremely strong affinity, she persuaded the security guard at the door to temporarily grant Xia Hongyu special access rights according to the internal regulations of only allowing cars to enter the apartment except under special circumstances.
The single old security guard in his fifties showed a confident smile belonging to an old man when he stared at Xia Hongyu's car taillights turning on at the corner inside the apartment.
Shen Xing came downstairs, and Xia Hongyu just got out of the car at this moment. This time, her car had been replaced by a light red comfortable coupe, not the business-oriented one that Shen Xing saw at first.
"Mr. Shen, do you live upstairs? Let's go upstairs to talk." Xia Hongyu seemed to have no intention of talking to Shen Xing outdoors.
This made Shen Xing further suspect that her coming here this time might not have much to do with customizing wood carvings.
The two of them went upstairs and entered the house. Xia Hongyu even closed the door with her backhand, which made Shen Xing feel anxious.
The woman in front of her was wearing an off-white hip-hugging skirt, holding a valuable white handbag, and a pair of red over-the-knee boots. Her graceful thighs, set off by stockings, were extremely eye-catching.
She took a cursory glance at the living room of Shen Xing's house. Without saying much, she walked to the sofa and sat down, placing her handbag on the coffee table.
Shen Xing went over and poured a cup of freshly boiled water and placed it in front of Xia Hongyu. "The tea in the room has just been finished, and I haven't had time to buy it yet."
"It doesn't matter, just drink water." Xia Hongyu nodded, and immediately seemed to hesitate to speak.
Shen Xing was stunned and asked: "Ms. Xia, just say what you want to say without any worries."
Xia Hongyu nodded and asked: "What I want to ask is, have all the wood carvings you sold me, or rather the wood carvings in your shop, been exposed to light? Or have any special means of warding off evil spirits been done before selling them? ?”
Shen Xing shook his head, "No, why do you ask? These wood carvings of mine are purely ornamental and have no evil-proofing function."
Xia Hongyu did not hide anything, and directly recounted all her experiences in the past few days. When talking about the walking dummy, Shen Xing noticed that her body and lips were trembling slightly. Although she tried her best to restrain it, it was obvious that this It's all in vain.
During this period, he did not interrupt until Xia Hongyu finished narrating all the experiences. At this time, Shen Xing's heartbeat was beating like a drum, and his face changed slightly. What came to his mind was the appearance of the boy's puppet that was just burned last night.
Listening to Xia Hongyu's words, the behavior of the dummy was exactly the same as that of the boy puppet. The only difference was that the behavior of the dummy was more bizarre. The boy puppet seemed to have just started, but was stopped in time and burned down by him.
As for the reason why Xia Hongyu came to find her, it was precisely because the wooden sculpture of the Wall-Facing Man that Shen Xing sold to her played a role in curbing the crazy behavior of the dummy.
That's why this woman thought of coming to Shen Xing to understand the situation.
"Have you reported it to the Sheriff?" Shen Xing asked.
Xia Hongyu shook her head, "My nanny, Sister Liang, said that the dummy was possessed by a ghost, so it became like a real person. She wanted to kill me and resurrect her body. So I listened to her suggestion and spent some money." , asked her to work with the building security to transport the dummy that was broken into several large pieces and burn it on fire."
Although the matter was a little more complicated, in the end Xia Hongyu's decision was the same as Shen Xing's, which was to burn the dummy with a torch.
Shen Xing rubbed his chin and asked, "Where did you buy this medical dummy?"
Xia Hongyu said: "A friend introduced me. Originally, the other party only provided it to medical schools or hospitals. Later, through this relationship, I was able to successfully buy it."
"Can you contact your friend now and ask him where the purchasing channel comes from?" Shen Xing asked.
Xia Hongyu took out her mobile phone and quickly dialed a number. After talking for a few words, the friend was obviously very familiar with her. Not long after, she sent an address message, saying that the medical dummy was produced and produced at this address. sent.
Shen Xing took a look at the phone screen and found that the address was: No. 208, Ping'an 17th Lane, Ping'an City, Jingzhou, Mo's Handicraft Workshop.
"Sure enough, they are all from Ping'an City in Jingzhou!" Shen Xing suddenly understood.
There must be something ghostly going on in this place, but it suddenly has a connection with himself and Xia Hongyu.
I was able to find the boy's puppet strange because I once passed by there and took a plane home, so I accidentally got in touch with Ping'an City.
Xia Hongyu was able to get involved with Ping An City because she purchased a medical dummy.
Now it seems that everyone got it by chance. They just happened to know Xia Hongyu, so they came to the conclusion that the puppets in Ping An City were weird.
It is currently unclear how closely this puppet is related to the anomaly, or whether the puppet itself is an anomaly, but Shen Xing is almost certain that it is controlled by an anomaly.
"I'm going to Ping'an City in Jingzhou." Xia Hongyu suddenly said after learning the address provided by her friend.
She usually has the air of a boss, but now she speaks firmly and resoundingly, leaving no doubt that her decision was not just a casual talk.
