The hotel where Shen Xing is located is in the lobby on the first floor.
It was already after midnight, and except for the staff on duty at the front desk, there was no one else in the lobby.
A waitress was sitting in front of the computer at the front desk, taking this time to check and back up the customer information registered during the day.
The word "Qiu He" is written on her nameplate.
Originally, two people were on duty at night, but the other lobby foreman had already gone to the back to rest and would not call her until Qiu He changed his shift.
There is also a lounge on the left side of the lobby, which is the doorman's room. There are two other people resting here at the moment. If a guest comes, Qiu He will press the call button at the front desk and ask one of them to come out to greet and guide the guest. Go to the designated room.
Not long after, the revolving door seemed to rotate in the direction of the lobby door.
Qiu He subconsciously looked up and found that the revolving door was indeed rotating, but it only made one circle and then stopped. There was no one around.
She stood up, looked carefully at the position outside the door, and found an orange cat squatting in the right corner outside the door. The cat was facing outside the door, turning its head and staring at the hotel lobby.
Qiu He wondered if the big fat cat had just walked by, causing the electric induction rotation function of the revolving door to activate, so she sat down again and continued working.
She had just slept in the afternoon and was full of energy and not sleepy at all.
After a few minutes of looking at the electronic watch like this, a looming smell came out.
Qiu He was so focused that he didn't pay attention, but soon the smell began to become strong, similar to that of rotting meat.
Qiu He was stunned and raised his head again. Where he looked, a woman in black was standing at the elevator entrance not far away. At this time, the elevator button was not pressed and was in a gray state.
Again, Qiu He hadn't heard any sound before. This scene startled her. She stood up in a hurry, her eyes widened, and she looked at the woman in black with her back facing her in horror.
The woman's hair was not long and did not touch her shoulders, but it barely covered her face.
The clothes she was wearing were black, but she couldn't tell what style they were. It looked like a casual shirt or a loose linen shirt. Because the color was too dark and dark, it was impossible to tell what material it was made of.
Standing there, Qiu He could feel a breath of death coming from her body, and the stench was probably coming from the woman in black.
The stench from that direction is particularly noticeable.
Qiu He didn't notice that her face turned pale due to fear at this moment. Her eyes moved down involuntarily and saw that the exposed ankles and some calves of the woman in black were rotten. One of them was rotten. The foot is about half the size of a palm, and the skin is turned over, revealing that the flesh inside is dark yellow, as if the wound had been formed a long time ago.
The woman was not wearing shoes, and her bare feet stepped on the shiny and cold ground in the lobby, but there was no reaction.
At this moment, Qiu He felt that the air around his body was starting to become cold. The coolness of the night mixed with inexplicable fear poured into his heart, soaking through his body and making his limbs feel cold.
Not long after, the standing woman in black suddenly moved, her head began to turn, and she seemed to be looking towards the front desk.
When he saw her start to turn her head, Qiu He was shocked and felt that his body instantly became stiff and unable to move.
But she knew that she had to hide at this moment, otherwise she would be seen by the other party. Subconsciously, she did not dare to let the other party see her at all.
The woman in black's head rotates much slower than an ordinary person. It seems to be a bit laborious, but it also seems to be like this.
Qiu He spent a lot of effort. After seeing the half-shattered face of the woman in black who turned around, she finally squatted down and hid herself under the front desk, holding tightly the hand she had just sat on. chair.
Not long after, a clicking sound came from the front desk. She didn't know what it was, and she didn't dare to look.
The next second, there was a ding from the elevator, and then there was no more noise.
Qiu He waited for a long time and after hearing no other sounds, she smelled carefully and felt that the stench was much lighter. It seemed that the source of the stench was no longer in the lobby.
"Maybe you took the elevator up?"
After hesitating for a long time, Qiu He finally plucked up the courage and slowly crawled out from under the cabinet at the front desk. He immediately looked at the elevator door and found that the woman in black had indeed disappeared.
Not only that, at the elevator where the woman was standing just now, the elevator that was originally on the first floor was now shown to be on the eleventh floor.
"Meow--"
At the same moment, a cat meow suddenly sounded in Qiu He's ears.
Qiu He was startled and almost screamed. He quickly turned sideways and saw a pure white cat squatting on the left side of the front desk, very close to him.
But she had been focusing on the direction of the elevator just now, so she didn't even notice that there was one squatting silently next to it.
And this cat is not the orange cat I saw just now.
…
In a room on the 11th floor of the hotel.
Shen Xing was a little surprised when he saw Achai's appearance and looked carefully.
He found that Achai's body was very different from usual, and the black shadow was extremely unstable. He didn't think much, and immediately thought about it, and let Achai return to the card that belonged to him in his mind.
After Achai wrote a request to go back immediately on the ground, he did not stop. He continued to write before returning the card.
【She is coming! I was discovered by her. They are good at tracking and I can't hide from them. 】
Shen Xing didn't know who this "she" was referring to, but he could probably guess the process. It was Achai who followed the escaped puppet Motu to an unknown place, and the "she" that Motu came into contact with there found out The existence of Achai.
Maybe "she" used some trick that caused Achai to be injured and run back desperately, but he couldn't escape "them"'s pursuit.
Who is this "them"? Shen Xing frowned.
After a while, he turned to look at the place where the black cat had been killed, and the scene of the black cat squatting at the door of the hotel lobby emerged in his mind.
Although Ah Chai suddenly came back at this moment, the words in Shen Xing's mind had not disappeared, and they were still displaying the information obtained after absorbing Zhong Po I's characteristics.
This information is somewhat similar to the previous one after absorbing Chanpo II, but it is the content after combining the information of the two Chanpo IIs.
After putting Achai back into the card, Shen Xing glanced at the information.
[Name: Zhong Po.
Sequence level: medium sequence
Sequence Analogy: Between Category 1 and Category 2
Sequence Source: Greed and Out of Control Behavior
Inducement: extreme hatred comparable to Dingyuan’s revenge
Description of this type: After absorbing and merging the characteristics of Zangpo I and Zhongpo II, the related characteristics of this same-caste anomaly have been improved. The Zhongpo anomaly belongs to the β sequence. Because it is a special type of anomaly, it has no sequence chain number. The greedy trait shown by Chanpo II at the beginning, after merging with the characteristics of Chanpo I, has now shown a tendency to behave out of control. "Out of control behavior" is also one of the sources of anomalies. Collecting more characteristics of the seedmother will unlock more information about this type of anomaly, until the sequence branch of the seedmother is fully exposed. Note that the weekly "fatal hits" will not change. 】
At present, it seems that the location of the sequence source of special anomalies such as seed mothers is not clear. It is possible that after the integration of more seed mothers, the source of the sequence will change from a source such as "greed" to a source such as "out of control behavior".
In other words, the abnormality of the nun itself is driven by an instinct of "behavior out of control", not because of "greed".
As he encounters more and more anomalies, Shen Xing feels that he is coming into contact with the truth of these anomalies, especially the anomaly sequence.
He is now almost certain that Ye Ting's disappearance is related to the secret behind the anomaly.
And his own memory confusion is also closely related to the abnormality.
He is now not only eager to find Ye Ting, but also eager to understand what his real memory is and which important part of his memory is missing.
His thoughts were quickly pulled back by him. Now is not the time to think about this. Achai's return has brought a strong danger signal, and he must find a way to deal with it.
The black cat had appeared just now, indicating that the other party had probably locked his whereabouts before Achai came back and chased Achai, only to confirm that he was the ultimate target.
At this moment, Grandma Yuan raised her head and looked at the window of the room.
Shen Xing also noticed something strange at the same time, turned his head and looked over, and vaguely saw a black figure that looked like a woman standing outside the window, with her head pressed against the window, very close, as if she was observing the inside of the room.
You must know that this is the 11th floor. There is only a very narrow edge outside the window. It is definitely impossible for ordinary people to stand on it.
Shen Xing did not go over immediately, but inserted the two pens into his trouser pockets and the telescopic stick at his waist. The black dagger was stuck on the outer edge of his trouser pocket just now, just ready for use.
After doing this, he said to Grandma Yuan: "Grandma, hold your position at the door."
Grandma Yuan had no other expression, but responded with action. She stretched out her skinny arms and quickly crawled towards the door.
Shen Xing turned around and rushed to the window sill, opening the window.
The dark shadow of the woman who was outside the glass just now disappeared in an instant, and a bright moon appeared in the night sky. Although the moonlight was not very bright, it still illuminated the scenery outside the window very clearly.
Shen Xing poked his head out and didn't find the woman's shadow, but there was a faint meow from above his head.
He opened the window wider and climbed out.
At this time, Shen Xing was still only wearing black jeans and a pair of black sneakers. He was naked and had no time to put on a shirt. Although his strengthened body did not have exaggerated muscle bulges, his muscle lines were extremely perfect and flashed under the moonlight. Weird sheen.
There is an edge protruding from the wall outside the window. It is so narrow that you can only put your toe on it.
But Shen Xing did not do this. Instead, he directly used the "Adhesion" skill that was attached to the body strengthening. His hands developed strong adhesion ability, and he lay on the wall like a spider.
When he looked up, he saw the shadow of a cat with gray-white fur above his head, its tail swaying past, as if it was escaping quickly.
Shen Xing remembered clearly that what he saw just now was the figure of a woman, but now he only saw a cat. He thought of the black cat that could turn into a black cat as big as a panther. It seemed that this gray and white cat could turn into a girl. So strange.
He quickly climbed up the outer wall of the hotel and reached a window on the 15th floor. He found that the window was open, just enough for a small animal to get in.
The strange pupils opened, and when he looked inside the house, he saw a red aura in the shape of a cat rising inside.
This cat, like the black cat just now, was born abnormally, but it is different from the moving puppets. Those puppets look abnormal, and it is more appropriate to say that they are controlled dummies. They do not have abnormal characteristics.
Shen Xing opened the window and turned over.
This room on the 15th floor also belongs to one of the hotel rooms, but this room is currently unoccupied by guests. The furnishings in the room are in order. The bedding on the bed is piled into a triangle, with a mouse shape made of towels placed on it.
At this moment, on the side of the bed close to the wall, Shen Xing could see clearly with his strange pupils without turning on the light. The red aura was hidden there.
But as he walked over, the shape represented by the red aura was also changing rapidly.
"嘤嘤嘤..."
The sound of a strange girl crying suddenly came from the side of the bed.
Shen Xing did not hesitate, walked to the end of the bed, and stared at the crying girl whose body was half hidden in the darkness. She saw that the girl seemed to be wearing a gray and white skirt.
This was almost the same color as the gray-white cat he saw just now.
At this time, layers of mental interference appeared around the girl's body. As long as she got close to a certain distance, her skin would immediately produce a large number of goosebumps involuntarily, giving her an inexplicable cold feeling.
At the same moment, there was a strange noise in the bathroom of this room.
Shen Xing tilted his head and looked over. Through the dark bathroom door, he couldn't see clearly what was inside, but a new red aura appeared in the strange eyes again.
"Hee hee hee……"
A girl's laughter came from inside, in stark contrast to the crying girl beside the bed.
Da da da……
The sound of footsteps came from the bathroom. It seemed that the people inside were dragging their feet, very slowly and lazily, or just because their feet were inconvenient.
Shen Xing looked away from the bathroom and towards the girl squatting beside the bed not far away, and saw her slowly raising her head.
The moonlight outside the window just illuminated her upper body, revealing the cheeks that had been buried between her knees.
Her cheeks are very thin, and she has an oval face, but her eyes are round and round, her eyelashes are extremely long, her pupils are oval-shaped with vertical pupils, the tip of her nose is high, and you can clearly see that the tip is moist. The most bizarre thing is that the corners of her mouth There are three or four beards poking out from the cheek flesh on both sides.
At first glance, it's obviously a cat face.
At the same time, the cat-faced girl stood up.
The footsteps of another person walking in the bathroom also came to the door of the bathroom at this moment.
Shen Xing looked sideways and saw a man with a distorted face, unable to tell whether it was a human face or a cat face, standing hunched at the door.
The knee joints of her legs were bent backwards, which caused the sound she made when walking just now to give people an awkward feeling.
At this moment, this person was half-lying at the door of the bathroom, looking at her with her head tilted. Her eyes couldn't focus because the face was incomplete.
Bang!
The cat-faced girl squatting beside the bed jumped up first and rushed toward Shen Xing.
At the same moment, the girl with a bad face lying at the door of the bathroom started laughing.
…
In the room where Grandma Yuan is on the 11th floor.
The white-haired old woman was lying at the door, staring at the crack under the door.
In the small crack in the door, in Grandma Yuan's eyes, waves of black air kept drifting in, and with it there was a stench that was difficult to cover up.
