At dinner time, Shen Xing had dinner with the special team members in the canteen of the special team building.
The food here is good. Xie Zongyu also asked the canteen to add two hard dishes. He was originally planning to treat Shen Xing to two more drinks, but because he still had things to do early tomorrow morning, he had to give up temporarily.
At the dining table, Xie Zongyu used his mobile phone to connect to the internal private network in the office building, logged into the page where Zhou Dao advertised wood carvings for Shen Xing, and let Shen Xing take a look.
He then expressed that he was really interested in his wood carvings and asked Shen Xing to return to Yungu and send him a set of photos of wood carvings after he finished handling the case here. He also wanted to choose one.
In fact, at the beginning, Shen Xing always thought that these special adjusters were interested in his wood carvings purely because they admired his craftsmanship.
But recently, he figured out the answer.
The craftsmanship of wood carving is secondary. I am afraid that there is a more direct reason why these special adjusters pay attention to their works, because most of them come from former abnormal prototypes.
And whenever Shen Xing absorbs the characteristics of the abnormal prototype and then carves out subsequent replicas, these replicas will contain a certain amount of spiritual essence.
This kind of spiritual energy is purely a subtle induction of abnormal characteristics. Individual ordinary people will feel this spiritual energy, and then have a strong interest in these wood carvings, and special adjusters who specialize in dealing with anomalies are even more interested in this. The spiritual essence is sensitive.
Although they don't know why they are attracted to wood carvings, the feeling and enjoyment of spiritual essence make them unconsciously feel a kind of leisure, happiness and comfort. Therefore, they usually agree that Shen Xing's wood carvings are beautiful and very ornamental. and collection value.
Of course, this kind of induction of spiritual essence is relatively common among special operators, but it does not deny that ordinary people cannot sense it.
Ordinary people, those who have research and talent for wood carvings or some works of art, can also feel this comfort and beauty, and then like these wood carvings.
In the evening, Shen Xing stayed in the reception room of the apartment building in the Special Adjustment Building. The living environment inside was not much different from the hotels outside, and it even looked cleaner.
The homes of other special coordinators are also here. We all get along with each other on a daily basis, and it is very convenient for daily care.
But according to Shen Xing, the proper welfare housing here is much better than the treatment of the special adjusters in Yungu City.
When he was about to go to bed at night, Xie Zongyu sent some pictures to Shen Xing. They were all tree roots and wood he asked to find. Shen Xing was asked to choose which one looked more pleasing to the eye and have it delivered tomorrow.
Shen Xing looked at it and found that the wood supplier that Xie Zongyu contacted should be a store that specializes in this industry. These wood materials have been polished in advance and are almost part of the roots of the tree. The cuts are smooth and some obvious tree knots have been removed. They can be taken directly. to make and use.
He carefully selected for a moment and selected a piece of cypress root, about half a foot in diameter, not very big.
Xie Zongyu said that this piece of cypress root was given to Shen Xing by the special task force of Ping An City, and there was no need to pay. Shen Xing did not refuse. He had to clean up the dry well anomaly for them anyway, so he would not be too polite.
Early the next morning, it rained for a while around six o'clock.
When Shen Xing, Xie Zongyu, Yang Tian and Zhang Zhi set off, although the rain had stopped, the sky was gray and it seemed that there might be another rain later.
Three pieces of rain gear were placed in the car. No one from the special task force came with them. All that came were members of the special task force. The commercial vehicle drove towards the outskirts of the city.
Shen Xing didn't know the specific location, so he sat by the window and looked at the street scene that was receding outside the car until he could only see scattered houses on both sides of the road, and then it was all fields, woods, and vegetation.
About forty-five minutes later, the commercial vehicle stopped slowly by the side of the road. Xie Zongyu opened the door and found that the soil on the side of the road was dry. He looked up at the sky. It was brighter here and it wouldn't rain for a while. .
"The weather here is fine, so there's no need to take an umbrella for the time being," he reminded.
Shen Xing and Zhang Zhi got out of the car, and Yang Tian sat in the car and said, "I can't get out anymore. I have a shadow over that place."
"Then you take a rest in the car." Shen Xing nodded.
Enter a small road from the roadside. This road is not narrow. If you have the money to build it and widen it, it can still be passed by vehicles.
Not long after passing through a small forest, a towering wall appeared in front of us. The bricks used to build the wall were relatively new, and they had just been piled up. The wall was about three meters high, and there were people walking around outside the wall.
After getting closer, Shen Xing discovered that a temporary guard box had been set up under the high wall. Inside, there were two people wearing sheriff's uniforms, both of whom were greeting Xie Zongyu and Zhang Zhi.
After saying hello, the two people quickly turned their eyes to Shen Xing.
Xie Zongyu introduced them to each other.
One of the police officers returned to the box and took out three gas masks from a black suitcase inside.
Xie Zongyu took it, handed one to Shen Xing, and reminded: "You must put on a gas mask before approaching the dry well to prevent you from inhaling the stench and falling into the abnormal scheme at the bottom of the well."
A police officer wrinkled his nose and said, "When we patrol, we also wear gas masks when we pass outside the high wall close to the dry well, otherwise we seem to smell some weird smell from time to time."
Zhang Zhidao: "That's your illusion, right? The dry well is more than thirty meters away from the nearest high wall. We used plastic film to prevent escape from the well, so it can't be transmitted over such a long distance."
The Sheriff has long cheeks and is commonly known as a horse face. He is still wrinkled his nose slightly at this moment and said with a smile: "It sounds scary to hear you say it. It may have a psychological effect. Every time he patrols outside the high wall, he feels brave. It’s a trembling feeling, and I always feel like I smell a bad smell.”
After finishing speaking, the horse-faced Sheriff turned back and asked his companion: "Have you ever smelled it?"
Another police officer shook his head and said, "Every time I cover my gas mask tightly, I don't smell it."
The horse-faced Sheriff laughed: "As soon as you patrol, you put on your mask immediately. In fact, our place is still a hundred meters away from the old houses."
At this time, Shen Xing noticed that there were four overlapping surveillance videos in the guard box. Each surveillance video was lit, indicating that it was running.
He pointed at the surveillance cameras, but before he could speak, Xie Zongyu had already explained: "There are surveillance cameras installed in Duan's house. Two are facing the dry well, one is facing the front yard, and one is facing the direction of the room."
Shen Xing nodded.
He had never worn a gas mask. After putting it on with Zhang Zhi's help, the three of them walked to the side of the high wall. There was a double door, which was now closed.
Xie Zongyu took out the key, opened one side, and walked in first.
Only members of the special task force have the key to enter the high wall. The police officers outside are only responsible for patrolling and preventing nearby residents from approaching. They do not have the key, so they cannot enter the high wall.
Shen Xing entered second, and Zhang Zhi walked at the back.
After all three people went in, Zhang Zhi immediately closed the door behind him.
Although the inside of the high walls feels like a different world compared to the outside, in fact there is plenty of light and the air is still good.
It's just that Shen Xing and the other three had already put on gas masks to prevent them from being corroded by the weird stench.
About ten meters away in front of him was the Duan family's front yard. The gate was dilapidated and part of the wall collapsed, allowing Shen Xing to see the equally dilapidated room at the back of the yard at a glance.
It is exactly the same as the photo Xie Zongyu showed him before. It can be seen that this place has not been touched since the accident, and everything remains the same.
Xie Zongyu was still walking at the front. After entering the Duan family's old house, he held the half courtyard door for Shen Xing that was about to fall completely. He only let go after Shen Xing and Zhang Zhi passed.
After entering the courtyard, Shen Xing saw a dry well that had been blocked by a courtyard wall. There were two broken blue stone slabs not far from the dry well. Most of the green stone was covered with moss, and some mold might have grown there. That led to it.
At this moment, around the entire dry well, about two meters away from the center of the dry well, a transparent cover is held up with a metal bracket. The cover looks airtight, and the surrounding edges are closely integrated with the ground.
"Can this transparent plastic stop the odor from spreading?" Shen Xing asked confused.
Xie Zongyu replied: "Of course it cannot be 100% blocked, but it can isolate a large part of it. If it can be completely isolated, believe me, no one should enter this isolation barrier at this moment, because the stench inside is enough to kill people."
After a pause, he said: "Of course, according to our observations, the amount of odor emitted is smaller during the day. At night, the smell will remind you of what you had for dinner the night before."
At this time, he and Zhang Zhi naturally kept a certain distance after approaching the dry well, while Shen Xing wanted to get closer, but they did not lift the transparent cover for the time being, but observed the movement of the dry well through the cover.
Shen Xing noticed that a small electric rope pull device had been fixed on the edge of the dry well. The light yellow rope looked extremely strong. There was a special clip on one end of it that could hold paper and pens.
This is much more convenient than Liu Xiaokai's initial use of nylon rope to manually pull the rope, and it is more convenient to quickly communicate with abnormalities at the bottom of the well.
"That was installed by us later." Xie Zongyu explained.
Shen Xing nodded without saying anything more. He walked to one side of the transparent plastic cover and saw that there were two overlapping plastic covers. One side could be opened directly.
At this time, Xie Zongyu also came over, and the two of them opened the plastic cover and walked in.
Because he was wearing a gas mask and breathing filtered clean air, Shen Xing didn't feel anything strange.
He walked to the side of the electric pull rope and looked at the bottom of the well. It was pitch black inside.
He squatted down, picked up the paper and pen, and wrote two words on it: Hello, then clamped it on the clip and pressed the start button on the surface. There was a downward symbol on the side of the button.
This electric device is powered by a battery as its main energy source, and the battery can be replaced at any time.
The rope holding the paper and pen quickly fell down the well and soon disappeared.
For about ten seconds, the originally straight rope began to bend slightly, indicating that it had descended to the bottom of the well.
Shen Xing raised his head and glanced at Xie Zongyu, and found that Xie Zongyu's eyes had been staring at the motionless rope.
When he looked back, he saw the rope was suddenly pulled.
"You can pull him up now," Xie Zongyu said.
Press the upward start button, a clattering sound is heard, the device begins to roll in reverse, and the rope is quickly rolled up.
After a while, the paper and pen still sandwiched were revealed, but Shen Xing noticed that he had wrapped the pen and the white paper together just now, but now the pen was clamped close to the white paper, and this A piece of white paper was also re-folded.
This shows that when the anomaly at the bottom of the well replied to himself, he completely took out the paper and pen and knew how to refold them. This was a completely anthropomorphic action.
In other words, this guy is very likely to be the same as the anomalies of the same sequence, in human form, or to be precise, it is similar to the long, straight black female shape before.
Shen Xing picked up the folder and opened it. He took out the white paper and spread it out. He saw that it read: You are special.
Looking at these four words, the corners of Shen Xing's mouth curled up, but his expression was obscured by the gas mask and Xie Zongyu could not see it.
He quickly wrote below these four words: What's so special? Are you also interested in some of my internal organs?
After clamping the paper and pen again, put them down.
At this time, Xie Zongyu had been watching from the side and said nothing.
Zhang Zhi, who was outside the isolation barrier, acted as a guard. His eyes wandered around the yard, and occasionally looked in the direction of the dilapidated house, but he still focused part of his attention on Shen Xing's movements.
Soon the rope was pulled, Shen Xing pressed the start button, pulled up the paper and pen, opened the folded paper and took a look, it read: I am interested in you, not just your internal organs.
Shen Xing: Why?
Anomaly at the bottom of the well: Because your "happiness" is very complicated.
Shen Xing: Have you seen what I want?
Anomaly at the bottom of the well: I saw it, but I still don’t know.
Shen Xing: Can you be more specific?
Anomaly at the bottom of the well: I don’t know who I’m communicating with right now, because what I see is you, but what I sense is...
Shen Xing: Can you finish speaking? Maybe I could consider making a deal with you.
Anomaly at the bottom of the well: We can't trade, it's not you, it's me. I can't give you "happiness".
At this time, Shen Xing was even more confused because he knew exactly what he wanted, what he needed to know, and where the source of happiness was.
This is nothing more than what I have been investigating, about Ye Ting's whereabouts and about his identity and memory.
However, at the other end of the well, Xie Zongyu was seeing every word exchanged between Shen Xing and Abnormal at the bottom of the well, especially the abnormal reply. He was unable to know Shen Xing's happiness, which made Xie Zongyu extremely surprised.
In other words, when the guy at the bottom of the well faced Shen Xing, he gave in when it came to trading! ?
This indirectly led to the abnormal strength of this well, which made Xie Zongyu's heart plummet.
