This bald man with an average appearance, less than 1.5 meters tall, stood silently in the stairwell with a rusty hatchet in his hand.
Although he didn't see Shen Xing at this moment, and couldn't feel any of Shen Xing's breath, there was no expression of surprise or confusion on his face. He still looked calm, turning slowly in circles, his eyes scanning the stairwell.
Shen Xing actually didn't leave at this moment, and couldn't go far at all.
After activating static invisibility, he immediately remained motionless after arriving here in advance, and his body was still in the same curled-up position as when he rolled down the stairs.
But at this moment, he stayed in the corner facing the stairwell door, with walls on both sides against him, allowing his body to maintain balance.
Using an "Asian squat", his head was almost touching his knees, motionless.
Within sight, the Black Domain Messenger stood in the middle of the stairwell and circled for a while before starting to move slowly.
First, he walked to the door of the stairwell on this floor, tilted his head, and seemed to be listening to something. After about ten seconds, he turned around and walked to the corner opposite Shen Xing.
At this moment, Shen Xing's eyes narrowed, and he saw the hatchet in this guy's hand suddenly raised, and with lightning speed, he cut down the corner. The tip of the hatchet, which was covered with yellow rust, was on the wall. A shallow knife mark was left on the white paint on the surface, and then it was cut across the empty corner.
Shen Xing was horrified. He didn't expect that this guy seemed to have discovered something.
Although the Black Domain Messenger doesn't know where he is hiding, since he has this action of slashing into the void, it means that this guy has aroused suspicion.
Although he was not sure and did not know why he was slashing at the empty corner, it was obvious that the Black Domain Messenger was using this method to exclude.
The next second, on the wall where there were only shallow knife marks, there was a crash, and a wall paint layer with a radius of about one meter suddenly collapsed and fell, leaving an irregular peeling area on the wall, exposing the inside. stone bricks.
Seeing this scene, Shen Xing didn't even dare to take a breath. Although he was in the invisible state at the moment, his breath had become extremely small. This ability to make the breath smaller seemed to be included in the skill of static invisibility.
Shen Xing did not expect that the rusty hatchet of the Black Domain Messenger would be so sharp and incredibly lethal. It seemed to only scratch a small section of the wall paint, but it would produce such a powerful destructive power.
At this moment, the bald man was slowly approaching the direction where Shen Xing was squatting.
He lifted the hatchet in his hand again until he came not far in front of Shen Xing. The tip of the hatchet was dangling in front of him, almost touching the tip of Shen Xing's pen.
At this moment, Shen Xing completely held his breath, staring at the rust on the hatchet, and soon turned into cross-eyes.
The messenger from the Black Domain above his head stretched out his left hand and touched the corner, and caught a handful of newly knotted spider webs.
He ignored it and raised the hatchet with his right hand, pointing it at the seemingly deserted corner.
At this time, Shen Xing's legs were tense and he had begun to quickly accumulate strength. Once he was sure that the bald man was going to attack him in the direction he was in, he would no longer care whether he would break the stillness and invisibility and continue to rush down the stairs.
As for whether they run away or not, that is left to God's will.
Of course, before running away, he might activate the strong electric current of the silver pen. Regardless of whether it can harm the messenger of the black domain, it is always right to send an electric current of ecstasy through this guy unexpectedly.
Currently, Shen Xing's shoulder stab wound is still bleeding, but it is temporarily covered by the black tendon protective film to stop it.
In fact, according to Shen Xing's current physical strength of 920%, even if an ordinary knife wound hurt him, it could be closed by the black tendon and the injury would be restored quickly.
But while running downstairs just now, Shen Xing tried it and found that the effect of relying on this method to heal the wounds left by the hatchet was surprisingly poor.
After three consecutive closures, most of the blood vessels were blocked, while the skin, flesh and fascia were still torn.
If you want to completely repair it, you need to safely and boldly activate the black tendon protective film to close it multiple times in a separate space.
The hatchet in the hand of the bald man in front of him was quickly raised to the appropriate height. At this time, Shen Xing could feel his toes instinctively grabbing the ground, and he could start running wildly in the next second.
But at this second, there was a sudden creak at the door of the stairwell on this floor, and the door was pushed open from the inside.
Before the door was fully opened, a thin man with disheveled hair got in, with his hands on his crotch, seemingly preparing to take a walk in the dim stairwell.
When he stood in the corner behind the stairwell door, he realized that someone was not far away.
The man shivered instinctively, and when he looked carefully, he saw what seemed to be a child standing there with something in his hand.
He lifted up his pants and turned around to go out without any further intention.
The Black Domain Messenger stepped forward and came behind the man, slashing down with the hatchet in his hand.
Shen Xing didn't look, but there was a clear sound in his ears. After the popping sound, there was a splash, as if a large amount of stuff mixed with liquid was flowing out quickly, and soon it covered the ground.
Not long after, a strong smell of blood penetrated his nostrils.
Shen Xing was unmoved and didn't even raise his eyelids. (Note)
He could feel that the blood flowing in that direction was about to spread to his feet. If it flowed along his shoes, it would definitely quickly form the shape of an upper.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster again, preparing to continue his escape plan.
But at this moment, the bald man who killed the passerby opened the stairwell door and walked out silently.
Shen Xing was stunned, not daring to turn his head to look, and just stayed there motionless.
The stairwell door slowly closed on its own, and the messenger from the black domain just left like that? !
Shen Xing was a little confused, but still didn't move, lest the guy would retaliate.
After waiting like this for about a minute, the blood flowing from the corpse not far away had formed a footprint shape under his feet.
Shen Xing ignored it for the time being and waited for about ten seconds. His body moved and emerged from the invisible state. He quickly walked across the body that had been broken into two halves. He stood at the door of the stairwell and listened to the movements in the corridor. .
There was no sound. Shen Xing didn't know why the Black Domain Messenger left. Whether it was because he was going to find himself somewhere else, or because he had given up on searching and simply left and disappeared.
This was also his first time contacting the Black Domain Messenger, so he could only speculate on the aftermath of the Black Domain Messenger's sudden departure.
After listening for a while, Shen Xing confirmed that there was no one outside, but he had no intention of going out and continued walking down the stairs.
He walked and walked, very cautiously, worried that the messenger from the black domain might be waiting for him on a certain floor downstairs, but when he reached the first floor, he found nothing.
Pushing open the stairwell door on the first floor, Shen Xing walked out quickly and found people coming and going in the hotel lobby.
However, only half of these people were hotel guests, while the other half were wearing sheriff's uniforms.
A police officer was asking a woman at the front desk where the surveillance room was, maybe to check the surveillance. There was also a police officer who was questioning guests who were checking out and about to leave.
There is also a police officer at the entrance of the lobby checking the identities of people passing by.
After seeing him appear, one of the young and beautiful female police officers came over, with a gentle tone and a smile on her face, and asked: "Excuse me, sir, are you a guest of this hotel?"
Shen Xing nodded.
At this time, the observant female police officer noticed a bright red color around the shoes on Shen Xing's feet. She tilted her head and looked at the ground where Shen Xing walked, but found no other abnormalities.
In fact, when Shen Xing came downstairs, the blood marks on the soles of his feet had already faded to nothing.
"Please take out your ID card." The female sheriff's tone was no longer gentle, but became a bit more serious.
"No need to go to such trouble." Shen Xing took out the red heart certificate, "Let's check this. Please contact the local special case investigation team and seal this place and conduct a thorough investigation."
The young female police chief stared at the special certificate in his hand, a little confused. She took Shen Xing's certificate, looked at it over and over, and asked, "What certificate is this?"
Shen Xing knew that this female police officer was of a lower level. Although she might know about the special task force, she might not have seen this kind of certificate.
"Call and report the number on the ID to check," he reminded.
The female sheriff immediately started to call. After the call was connected, she said a few words and then reported the ID number on the red heart ID.
Not long after, Shen Xing noticed that her expression changed, and whispered into the phone: "Then please inform the special team."
The volume on the other end of the phone seemed to get louder at this moment, and even Shen Xing could vaguely hear it. He said: "I will notify the special team immediately and ask you to report the personnel number on the person's heart card."
"Red heart certificate?" Shen Xing frowned slightly, this was the first time he heard someone say that.
The female sheriff searched for a long time, but couldn't find it anywhere. Shen Xing had no choice but to point at the diagonal top of the steel seal.
"Oh, I saw it, the personnel number is 007."
The female sheriff had just reported the number when she heard someone say: "Are you sure the number is single digits?"
"Yeah, single digits." The female sheriff nodded.
"Please don't leave, sir. People from the special team will be here soon." The tone of the boy on the other end of the phone suddenly became very polite. "If you can, please make a cup of tea for this gentleman and try to make him happy." Stay there until the task force comes to take over."
After hanging up the phone, the young female police officer stared at Shen Xing with an increasingly cute look.
Shen Xing came to the sofa in the lobby and sat down, not planning to leave now.
He chose to ask the local special team to come over because he was not sure whether the black envoy had left. If he was still there, this would become a very dangerous area.
At that time, the special task force will definitely have to evacuate everyone here temporarily.
If the messenger from the Black Domain is nowhere to be found after the special team comes to search, it is basically certain that the other party has returned to the Black Domain.
Although Shen Xing didn't know how he returned, just like he didn't know how he appeared.
After experiencing this time, if I feel palpitations next time, I have to be prepared with two kinds of defenses, one is the mother-in-law, and the other is the messenger of the black domain.
Thinking of this, Shen Xing suddenly came up with an immature plan. Since these two anomalies are different types of anomalies and both like to cause trouble for themselves, why not find an opportunity for them to meet each other.
Now he knows very well that not all anomalies are friendly to each other. Some anomalies of the same type may not fight, but most anomalies are actually independent.
The relationship between the two is not fundamentally different from the relationship between humans and anomalies.
If two types of special anomalies collide at this time, there may be sparks.
This plan might be feasible. He thought about it carefully for a while, and the young female sheriff made him a cup of hot tea.
About ten minutes later, the special task force from Ping An City arrived.
Shen Xing looked up and saw three people walking into the hotel. The one walking at the front was a middle-aged man. He was tall but already had a head full of white hair, which was in sharp contrast to his burly and muscular body.
In comparison, the two men behind him were much shorter. Both of them were thinner. The other had a very poor complexion, with sunken eye sockets and an earth-colored face.
Shen Xing lingered on this man for a moment, then stood up and looked at the tall man with white hair.
"Is it Mr. Shen Xing?" The white-haired man was smiling. It was obvious that they had done enough homework before arriving.
As for Shen Xing's information, you can definitely check it through the intranet in the special team. The difference is only the level requirement for the inquirer, and the white-haired man in front of you obviously has this level.
"Hello." Shen Xing nodded.
The white-haired man stretched out his hand, shook hands with Shen Xing, and introduced himself: "My name is Xie Zongyu, the leader of the special task force of Ping'an City."
Then he pointed to the two people behind him, "This is Zhang Zhi and Yang Tian, members of our team."
The man named Yang Tian was a thin man who seemed to be in poor health.
Shen Xingdao: "I encountered an anomaly in the hotel building. It was a very high-level anomaly and it has killed one person. The body is still in the stairwell on the eighth floor. If you have special search methods for anomalies, I It is recommended to start now, and it is best not to go up alone to search.”
Xie Zongyu looked back at his team members, while Zhang Zhi and Yang Tian were also looking at him, with confusion in their eyes.
Xie Zongyu pondered for a moment and said: "Last week we received the latest batch of equipment from the Jingzhou Special Command Center. Currently, it is only available in Jingzhou and has not been popularized in other places. This is a type of equipment called 'Monroe' Suit.”
"What exactly?" Shen Xing asked curiously.
"A Monroe 12-sided diamond-shaped three-dimensional anomaly container and a Monroe virtual wireless transmitter can covertly detect anomalies. In addition, there are also some sporadic attack equipment targeting anomalies." Xie Zongyu said.
He knew very well that the Shen Xing in front of him not only had a red heart certificate, but also was a special red heart employee with the personnel number 007.
The higher the number, the greater its value to the special team, so Xie Zongyu did not hide anything.
And people like Shen Xing must have a special physique and absorb abnormal characteristics directly through their bodies, just like the very rare special adjuster Zhou Dao who has had several lives.
Note: The condition for turning on static invisibility is to keep your body still, then activate and maintain it for a few seconds to more than ten seconds. The extremely fast natural reaction of the protagonist blinking his eyes is not considered within the scope of stillness, otherwise the beating of the heart, blood flow and cell activity will never be able to make a person truly remain still.
