After the cat puppet said that he wanted to get his clothes back, he stopped talking, and Shen Xing didn't say anything.
This cat puppet was inherently evil before he regained her. It could kill the same kind and keep the opponent's "skin" with him at all times for use. It also adhered to its own trading principles and had the ability to copy puppets. , extremely powerful.
In a sense, her ability to make puppets is similar to Shen Xing's ability to make wood carvings, except that Shen Xing does it purely by hand, while the cat puppets rely on her own characteristics.
The entire journey was silent.
After returning to the Ping An City Special Task Force compound, Shen Xing got out of the car and looked back. The cat puppet had jumped off the roof of the car, but his hair was still fluffy and intact, without any trace of disorder.
Only then did Shen Xing realize that her dark realm always enveloped her. If she wasn't willing, the cat puppet would not be affected by the wind at all.
After jumping out of the car, the cat puppet followed Shen Xing without saying a word. The sides of her pale cheeks and cheeks were slightly bulging, giving people the feeling that she was still resentful for the moment.
Shen Xing couldn't help but want to laugh and stopped looking at her.
At this time, Xie Zongyu did not get out of the car. Instead, after sending Shen Xing to the hospital, he went to the hospital to check on the condition of Yang Tian and the other police officer in the booth.
After all, Yang Tian is now weak, and he is worried about whether his team members' lives are in danger after suffering a large dose of anesthesia.
Shen Xing returned to his temporary residence, and the cat puppet followed him in, jumped onto the chair skillfully, and squatted there.
After Shen Xing washed his hands and boiled a pot of hot water for himself to make tea, his cell phone rang. It was from Xie Zongyu, who had just left, saying that the wood he had selected would be delivered soon and asked him to take it.
Shen Xing thanked him, took out the special cowhide roll for storing carving knives in his backpack, and spread it out on the table, revealing various types of carving knives.
He sighed slightly and said to himself: "There are no electric dental machines, hanging grinders and other labor-saving equipment. It seems that this time it will take more time."
After a pause, he raised his hands, which he thought were already very dexterous, and sighed: "Fortunately, I still have ten times softer finger bones, so the problem is not too big."
"How are you going to clean up that dry well?" Mao Ou saw his preparations and couldn't help but ask.
Shen Xing had no intention of hiding it from her. Anyway, they were all her own now, so there was no such thing as "treason".
"Carve an identical dry well and contain it!"
"Before taking it in, can you let me take a bite of it?" the cat puppet said, grinding its fangs.
"Has it changed since you chewed it?"
"At most half of its characteristics will be lost. Its strength is only slightly stronger than that of the woman in black. It will not die." The cat puppet continued to grind its fangs.
"That won't work. Half of his characteristics have been lost. Why should I take him in?" Shen Xing immediately shook his head.
"Then I'll just take a bite."
"no."
"Half a mouthful."
"How can you chew half a mouthful?"
"Just touch it like this." The cat puppet's upper and lower fangs touched lightly, and then he grinned, looking very sincere.
Shen Xing pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "Well, I'll dig out a brick from the inside of the dry well and give it to you to chew on."
"You are boring!"
The cat puppet turned sideways aggrievedly, and a white fluffy tail came out from under the leg of the left shorts and rolled up quickly. She stretched out her hands to hold the big tail, and she was so angry that she stopped talking.
Shen Xing didn't know that this guy had a tail. It was usually hidden, but it was accidentally revealed at this moment.
After staring at her tail for a while, he said, "Why does your tail look so much like a fox's tail?"
The cat puppet didn't answer, didn't even look at him.
Shen Xing laughed dumbly and stopped talking.
About half an hour later, the wood was delivered to the door by a tricycle. The name of the wood store was written next to the tricycle, indicating which wood market it should have been shipped from.
Shen Xing didn't ask any questions, and didn't pay after signing for it, because Xie Zongyu had already paid in advance.
Shen Xing took the cypress wood from the root of the tree into the house and closed the door. Although it was still daytime, Shen Xing still turned on the lights in the house to the maximum.
He approached the root of the cypress tree and carefully observed the condition of the wood. The source of the cypress wood was not completely close to the root of the tree. The upper and lower cross-sections were almost the same, and the area below was slightly larger.
Moreover, the entire piece of wood has obviously been trimmed in advance and looks much smoother than the original wood. When you get closer, you can smell a faint aroma of cypress, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Under normal circumstances, cypress wood is smooth, like human skin, with fine texture and hard texture.
The characteristic of cypress wood is that there are more boils, but this just proves that the wood of cypress wood is of high quality. On the contrary, it is more expensive because of the many boils. It is even rare to find cypress wood covered with boils.
This piece of cypress wood also has boils, but not many, so it is not a rare kind. But for Shen Xing, using it to carve a dry well is already very ideal.
It’s just that I have to do it all by hand, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, so I can’t rush.
He held a 0.8cm wide-edged flat knife and stared at the piece of cypress wood for a long time. He walked around and observed it from different angles. Half an hour passed, but he never moved the knife.
"Are you going to consume this wood and turn it into a dry well?" The cat puppet suddenly spoke from the side, "Or have you always just used your eyes to carve?"
Shen Xing ignored her, but rubbed his chin with his left hand, gently twirling a few beard strands with his index finger and thumb, thinking silently.
In fact, he was suddenly a little unsure now. The dry well was an abnormal appearance. This appearance was very ordinary. It could be said that there were many dry wells like this in Jingzhou.
Carving out a dry well only imitates the appearance, but does not achieve the effect of spiritual connotation. When I carved these anomalies in the past, it was often because I had experienced or intuitively felt them, and I was able to imitate these characteristics into the wood carvings when carving.
Now if he just carved a dry well, he doubted whether he could absorb the anomaly and it was unknown.
"What's missing?" Shen Xing muttered to himself.
"What's wrong?" the cat puppet asked curiously.
Shen Xing didn't look back and replied softly: "If I want to carve that guy, I always feel like something is missing."
"All it took was one bite from me." The cat puppet reminded carefully.
Shen Xing was stunned for a moment, then looked back at her and repeated: "Bitten by you?"
He seemed to remember something and asked: "If you were asked to bite it, what would you bite? Is it really a brick? Or is it the stench, darkness or something else in the well?"
The cat puppet replied without thinking: "Of course it is the illusory body condensed by the entity that bit him in the well. That is its core. Once one of them is bitten and explodes, it will be severely damaged."
Shen Xing nodded quickly and suddenly realized: "This is the only difference!"
Immediately he was stunned, staring at the cat puppet and said: "It turns out that your half-bite was intended to explode that guy's illusory body and severely damage it!"
The cat puppet suddenly raised its tail, covering her entire face, but in fact her face was horribly white, and there was no blush at all.
After some conversation, Shen Xing determined where the focus of the carving was.
He went to the special task force office building in front of his residence and asked an office worker in the administrative office to print out all the photos of the dry well that he had just taken on his mobile phone in high-definition color.
I took more than 40 shots in total and achieved perfect coverage from different angles.
Holding a stack of photos, Shen Xing returned to his residence again. After entering the house, he found that the cat puppet was no longer here and had gone somewhere.
However, when Jingjing sensed it, he found that she had not gone far, but was wandering nearby, so he stopped caring about her.
Laying the photo aside, Shen Xing began to carve the shape of the dry well bit by bit.
With such an abnormal appearance, Shen Xing's previous definition would classify it as a "curious object", just like the wardrobe, which also falls into the category of curious objects.
However, he knew that this was just his generalization based purely on appearance, and it might be far from the actual characteristics of the anomaly.
And now this dry well is actually an anomaly in a certain sequence chain, although the sequence chain is no longer complete.
Without the help of any power tools, the carving work at this time is more difficult, because in fact, the masonry and gaps in the appearance of the dry well have a certain pattern and are basically neat. If you use power tools, it will save a lot of time and effort.
But now it is impossible to buy easy-to-use power tools. Instead, Shen Xing relies on pure handwork. Shen Xing still needs to be sure to perfectly restore the shape of the dry well.
He did it very carefully, cutting the wood skin bit by bit, and the weight of the hand was very precise. The ten times softness of the finger bones played a big role in this. Whether it was a curved knife or a flat knife, no matter how big the blade was, It was like a butterfly interspersed between his fingers, extremely agile.
I don't know how much time passed. During this period, a staff member from the special task force came over and asked him to eat, but Shen Xing didn't hear it.
The man saw from the window that he was very engaged in his work, so he didn't knock on the door to disturb him. Instead, he went back to the canteen to leave some food for Shen Xing to warm up later.
During this period, the door to the room was also opened. Cat Ill stood on tiptoe for fear of disturbing Shen Xingdi, so he walked in slowly, closed the door and did not go out again.
She could actually pass through the wall directly, but in order to avoid shocking Shen Xing and affecting her operations, she entered like a normal person.
Shen Xing noticed the cat puppet entering the room, but had no time to pay attention and continued working.
After a while, the cat puppet walked to the side to watch with great interest. Without saying a word, his eyes followed Shen Xing's carving knife. He folded his hands on his chest and watched with gusto.
During the carving process, Shen Xing just felt that whether it was a flat knife or a curved knife, it became more and more comfortable with use. It was a hundred times easier to use than when the black dagger was used as a sharp weapon.
He couldn't help but have the idea of changing the weapon like a dagger into a carving knife.
After all, this thing is what I use to eat. It is normal to use it more easily than other knives. And if I want to go out, I must bring the tool to eat. It is also convenient to use to deal with abnormalities.
After having this idea, Shen Xing determined that from now on he would use a carving knife as a close-quarters weapon, and nothing else.
If the memetic value is injected into the carving knife, it may feel better to use it, and it may even be faster when carving.
Just put 1 point of meme value into the carving knife in his hand now. Shen Xing thought about it and gave up the idea. After all, he didn't get much meme value now. It wouldn't be troublesome to carve out the dry well, but it would only take a little time. It's just time.
Spending 1 meme point just to make the dry well wood carving without rushing, it feels like the gain outweighs the loss.
After eleven o'clock in the evening, Xie Zongyu came back from the hospital and saw that the lights in Shen Xing's room were still on, so he came over to take a look.
Shen Xing was taking a break at this time, so he boiled some hot water and drank it slowly.
Xie Zongyu took a look at the half-finished wood carving and knew that Shen Xing was extremely obsessed with it, so he was not surprised.
It's just that the current work is only half completed, and he can't see anything good or bad with his eyes. After asking, he found that Shen Xing hadn't eaten yet, but the canteen chef had already taken a break.
Xie Zongyu called and ordered two takeaways, plus some barbecue, and a takeaway boy soon delivered them.
The two chatted while eating. Xie Zongyu mentioned Yang Tian's condition in the hospital. The guy's health was stable and there was no danger. Taking advantage of Yang Tian's admission to the hospital, Xie Zongyu had already persuaded his family to let the hospital transplant a left lung for him.
It is said that the human organ reserve of Shengjing City in Jingzhou should have a matching left lung. If the speed is fast, the transplant operation can be carried out tomorrow night.
In other words, Yang Tian even skipped the anesthesia and directly performed the transplant while he was still in a coma under strong anesthesia, giving him a healthy body when he woke up.
After eating a late-night snack for more than an hour, when it was almost one o'clock in the morning, Xie Zongyu drank some wine and was about to go back to sleep. He asked Shen Xing: "Are you going to continue doing this?"
As he spoke, he pointed at the half-finished wood carving.
Shen Xing did not drink, just to continue working later, he nodded and said: "Work on it for a while, but we can't finish the carving today. The rock wall of this dry well has a complicated structure and many lines, so it must be ground finely."
"This is the spirit of craftsmanship!" Xie Zongyu gave him a thumbs up and then burped.
He got up and left with the remaining garbage.
Shen Xing quickly resumed work, starting at one in the morning and finishing at three-thirty in the morning. At this moment, he couldn't stand it any longer.
Sleepiness came over me and I had to put down the carving knife.
After Xie Zongyu arrived just now, although the other party couldn't see him, the cat puppet still ran outside to avoid it. After Shen Xing continued to carve with the knife, the cat puppet returned again. She did not need to eat or sleep, and kept watching.
When he saw the wooden sculpture of a dry well that was already 80% in shape on the table, the cat puppet's eyebrows jumped with excitement: "It looks like it, it looks so similar! It makes my teeth itch to see it!"
Shen Xing warned: "If you dare to leave teeth marks on this, I will consider letting you stay in the card forever and never come out again."
The cat puppet blinked, turned her head, and quickly took a large pillow cover from the bed, and covered the dry well wood carving with her backhand, which made her want to take a bite.
"It shouldn't happen like this, Chi Liu——"
She sucked back a mouthful of food at the same time.
