"The hands of this wooden sculpture are broken. I have to go back and see if they can be repaired, but I think I might have to make a new one." Shen Xing said with a smile on his face after sitting down.
The cat puppet pointed to the ugly wood carving in the bag and asked, "What about this one?"
"This has played its due role." Shen Xing's tone was very satisfied.
The cat puppet nodded and looked away from the wood carving of Zhen Po III with some fear.
The person she noticed just now was very strange, that is, Zhong Po III who had already locked onto Shen Xing. However, Zhong Po III was very good at hiding herself. Before she found the right time and fully revealed herself, the cat puppet was only aware of it, but Unable to accurately locate the other party.
After sitting in the departure hall for a while, Renyiyi quickly received a boarding prompt.
On the way back, Shen Xing obtained the consent of the passengers behind him, put his seat back slightly, lay on his back, closed his eyes and rested.
After a week of weekly killings, this was the time when he felt most relaxed and comfortable. He didn't have to think about anything or worry about anything. He could quietly feel the passage of time without any disturbance in his mood.
The cat puppet has not been with him since he got on the plane, because there is a fat man in a suit and tie sitting next to Shen Xing, and there is no seat for her.
At this moment, the cat puppet ran to the business class to have a good time. Just now, he ran over and told Shen Xing that there were three or four empty seats there. She could choose to lie down in them. It was not very pleasant.
Shen Xing ignored her and quickly fell asleep.
After falling asleep, the plane had already started to descend.
Now Shen Xing's only worry is, after this week, when the next round of weekly killing comes, who will come?
If it was a kindred woman IV who came, he believed that he would only be slightly injured at most. If he was prepared, he could still contain the woman with a wooden carving.
But if it was Zhong Po V who came, then he wouldn't be sure.
The most important thing is that if you don’t know what the other person looks like and what characteristics he has, you can’t make a wood carving.
He was not sure now whether he could survive the first attack after Zhong Po V appeared.
It would be fine if he survived, but if he didn't, there would be no follow-up work of making a wooden sculpture of Zhen Po V to resist her.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Xing came up with a guess.
Not long after, the cat doll's head stretched out from the rear passenger passage, and asked Shen Xing using thought induction: "Are you calling me?"
Shen Xing nodded. He did not open his special pupils at this moment, but relied on thought induction to keep his eyes closed.
"I want to know, although you can't tell who the client is, if I guess its identity myself, can you give me a positive or negative answer?"
"That's okay." The cat puppet nodded, "My restraint is that I cannot reveal the client proactively, but if you find out by yourself, I can give you the correct answer. But..."
At this point, the cat puppet muttered: "You can't ask leading questions. You can only ask me questions using the other party's accurate identity, instead of ambiguously inducing me to give the correct answer. In that case, you may even know in the end The result will be achieved, but I will also die because of it. It all depends on you. In fact, you can use this method to exchange my life for the client’s identity information.”
Shen Xing shook his head, he had no such idea.
After a pause, he said what he had just guessed: "Is your client a farm woman?"
He didn't ask which nun was it, but no matter which one it was, as long as he knew it was the nun, there was no difference in their current attitude towards him.
This is also the abnormality that Shen Xing can think of at present, and he has great hatred towards himself.
"No." The cat puppet immediately denied, and then asked: "Is there anything else?"
"Gone."
The cat puppet retracted its head and went to the business class to lie down again before getting off the plane.
The plane landed smoothly.
After leaving the airport in Yungu City, Shen Xing did not go home immediately, but went straight to Xia Hongyu's mansion on the 37th floor of Yongjian Building.
It was dinner time, so he called in advance. Xia Hongyu and Feifei were waiting for him at home.
It is almost winter, and the temperature in Yungu City has dropped sharply in the past few days. Shen Xing clearly felt the change in temperature after getting off the plane. However, he is in excellent physical condition now and does not care about this temperature difference. Except for the bruise on his shoulder III The scratched area is still red and swollen.
When he entered the house, Feifei had already brought him a pair of furry slippers to put on.
Shen Xing put down the bag and backpack in his hands, squatted down and took a closer look at the little girl's face, and saw that although she had a sweet smile, there was a gloomy color gathering between her eyebrows.
Obviously, after Feifei tore up the short-haired cat girl two days ago, Shen Xing was not around for several days in a row. She would not necessarily tell Xia Hongyu all her worries, but kept them in her heart.
"Are we going home after dinner?" Feifei asked softly, probably worried that Xia Hongyu would hear her.
Shen Xing nodded: "Of course I'm going home. I'm here to pick you up. I've been troublesome for you, Aunt Xia, these days."
"What's the trouble!" Xia Hongyu heard the second half of the sentence from the dining table and said with a smile: "Feifei is very sensible. I was lucky to have her that day..."
Speaking of this, the smile on Xia Hongyu's face faded. Recalling the thrilling scene, she couldn't help but shudder, "I also want to thank Feifei!"
"This little girl seems to be very sensible." The cat puppet, who had been standing behind Shen Xing, said to Shen Xing using his mind sensor.
"Uncle Shen." Feifei cast her gaze behind Shen Xing, "This young lady is..."
As soon as he said this, before he finished speaking, Shen Xing felt the cat puppet behind him jump up and fly to the ceiling with a bang, lying upside down, with his mouth open in surprise, his eyes wide open, and the cat whiskers lightly Trembling slightly.
"She, she, she can see me? Can she see through my dark realm?"
"Let me introduce you." Shen Xing stood up and still used his mind sensor to talk to the cat puppet: "Lin Feifei, my adopted daughter, she was the one who tore your twelfth cat clone into pieces."
"Tsk, tsk, scary, scary, so scary!" The cat puppet shook his head in surprise.
"Uncle Shen?" Feifei was a little surprised.
She had already become suspicious when she saw the cat puppet's appearance, but at this moment, the cat puppet jumped directly onto the ceiling. It was definitely not a human being. Feeling wary, Feifei approached Shen Xing and stared at the cat puppet on the ceiling without blinking.
"He is an anomaly that your uncle and I have recently made. They are all friends, so there is no need to be afraid." Shen Xing whispered in Feifei's ear.
"What are you still doing standing there? Come over for dinner soon." Xia Hongyu said.
She thought that Feifei and Shen Xing had not seen each other for a long time, and the relationship between the two was very good, so they had endless things to say.
The three of them were sitting at the dining table. The Xia family's nanny, Sister Liang, was busy going back and forth between the kitchen and the dining table. After all the dishes were served, Sister Liang did not serve the food, but ate alone in the kitchen.
This is usually the case when guests come to the house. Sister Liang is also very sensible. She knows that it is better for her to listen less about Xia Hongyu.
There are a lot of dishes on the table. Although there are only three of us at the moment and the cat puppet is not eating, there are two big dishes, two vegetables, a fresh cold dish, and a pot of chicken stewed with mushrooms.
The floor heating is on in the room, and even if you don't have to wear slippers, your feet will be warm when you step on the carpet.
While eating, Shen Xing roughly recounted how he arrived in Ping'an City, but omitted the reception of the cat puppets and the subsequent events regarding the β-2 sequence chain, and the manipulator behind the scenes only mentioned Motu himself. .
As for Xia Hongyu's ex-husband, she did entrust Motu instead of dealing with cat puppets. However, she didn't like cat puppets being traded with people, so she asked Motu to make her ex-husband into a puppet as well.
The cat puppet at that time was moody, and she would deal with anyone who disobeyed her mercilessly, whether it was people or abnormalities.
Of course, the cat doll's attitude towards people is definitely worse than towards anomalies, and all this is gradually changing bit by bit after Shen Xing takes her in.
At this time, the cat puppet was standing next to the golden retriever's kennel, looking up and down at the golden retriever lying in the kennel. Even if the cat had a dog's nose, he would not be able to detect her presence.
But soon she felt a pair of eyes staring at her, and when she turned around, she saw it was Feifei.
"I'm going out for a while. I can't stand the look of this little girl. She looks at me like I'm a monster." The cat puppet pouted, turned around quickly, and jumped to the second floor of Xia Hongyu's house before disappearing.
Shen Xing pursed her lips and smiled, then she saw Feifei turned around and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, can she bite?"
"Only bite bad people, not good people." Shen Xing replied.
Although Xia Hongyu heard what they were saying, she didn't think about anything else. She was still digesting everything Shen Xing told her.
She actually knew that there were some weird things in this world, but Shen Xing was a little more specific. It turned out that her ex-husband Guan Zhixiong also found such a strange person who caused weird things, and was killed instead, which made her temporarily Some are unacceptable.
Looking at the puppet that Shen Xing passed to him that was shot in imitation of Guan Zhixiong, this puppet is very lifelike, exactly like Guan Zhixiong, but the face is stiff, and after looking at it for a long time, you can still find some clues.
As for this man, Xia Hongyu had no feeling at all. If he died, he would die. It was his own fault, and Xia Hongyu would not feel sad about it.
Now that she knew the cause and effect and the matter was handled well by Shen Xing, she gradually let go of the stone in her heart and quickly returned to normal. While drinking the soup, she said: "The remaining 1.8 million will be transferred before Monday next week." for you."
"There's no rush." Shen Xing said, "If you need any help in the future, you can tell me directly. Even if it's just a friend, I think I can be of some help."
The implication is that if something happens in the future, you can tell yourself directly that the relationship between the two is good now, and everything does not necessarily have to be solved with money.
Xia Hongyu knew what he meant. Although she felt very tired after being frightened in the past few days and her overall mental state was not good, she still smiled and nodded.
He reached out and touched Feifei's head: "Feifei is my little lucky star. Without Feifei, I wouldn't be able to sit here and eat now, so I decided that I will cover Feifei's future tuition until she graduates from college."
Feifei was stunned, and Shen Xing smiled and said, "Thank you, Aunt Xia."
He would not refuse this kind of thing, and Feifei got it by herself. Although she didn't know the specific situation at the time, Feifei was at least somewhat dangerous.
After finishing the meal and explaining everything clearly, Shen Xing also discovered at this time that Xia Hongyu treated Feifei really well. When the two were about to leave Xia's house, when they were packing, he found that Feifei had brought seventeen or eight new items. Clothes, two new school bags, and about fifty books.
According to Xia Hongyu, Feifei doesn't like toys, otherwise she would have had more dolls and stuffed animals, but in the end they all became extracurricular readings.
Shen Xing and Feifei definitely couldn't take these things away, so they had to ask Xia Hongyu to drive them, and they had to run upstairs and downstairs twice before loading everything into the car.
In the underground garage of Yongjian Building, the moment Xia Hongyu started the car, Shen Xing sensed the cat puppet approaching, but she did not enter the car. Instead, as before, she squatted on the roof of the car and remained cold and silent.
At this time, Feifei raised her head slightly and glanced at the roof of the car. She didn't know whether she had noticed it or not.
When I returned to Dahu Apartment, the cat puppet on the roof of the car disappeared first.
Xia Hongyu helped them carry all the things back to their residence. After packing them up, she asked Shen Xing: "I saw that when you were moving things, your right shoulder seemed to have some discomfort. Is it injured?"
Shen Xing had no need to hide it, he just patted his shoulder lightly and said, "It's a small injury, it doesn't matter."
Xia Hongyu wanted to check him out. If the injury was serious, she should at least go to the hospital for a checkup. If it was just a scratch or bump, she wouldn't mind applying some ointment to Shen Xing now.
If she didn't have it at home, Xia Hongyu was going to buy it on the street downstairs.
Just when she was about to make a suggestion, she suddenly noticed a pair of eyes sweeping over her, first at herself, and then at Shen Xing. This gaze came from Feifei.
Apparently the little girl heard the conversation between the two and didn't know what she was thinking. Her eyes were full of worry. She walked over quickly and asked Shen Xing: "Uncle Shen, does it hurt? You sit down first and I'll tell you later." Give you some medicine."
Xia Hongyu shrugged and said with a smile: "If the wound is nothing and you have a caring little cotton-padded jacket at home, then I won't help you."
"Well, no need to help." Shen Xing also laughed and reached out to touch Feifei's head, which was leaning against him.
The two chatted for a while, and Xia Hongyu stood up to leave. After Shen Xing sent her to the door, Xia Hongyu turned around and said, "I have been preparing to invest in some emerging industries recently. Although your wood carving business is not an emerging industry, if you are willing If so, you can go to Heshan City to develop, I will be responsible for injecting capital, and you can contribute."
Shen Xing thought for a moment, nodded and said, "It's not impossible. Let's wait until things calm down in the past few days."
His idea is actually very simple. Entering Heshan City will be closer to the city's special investigation team. Whether it is abnormal cases or the detection of abnormal information, it may be more convenient.
After Xia Hongyu left, Shen Xing was about to tidy up Feifei's clothes and books, but Feifei stopped her immediately and asked him to rest more while she could sort them out herself.
Shen Xing stopped caring about her and turned on the small sun lamp in Feifei's bedroom so that her hands and feet would not be cold when doing things. Then she changed her clothes and took a shower in the bathroom.
During this period, he looked at the wound on his shoulder. Although the protective film of his black tendon healed itself to a certain extent, the wound was still not completely healed and there was no blood flowing out. It was just red and swollen, and the degree of redness and swelling was no longer as high as it was at the beginning. So obvious.
After drying his hair, Shen Xing sat on the sofa, took out some iodine and cotton swabs, and placed a small mirror on the coffee table so that he could shine into his shoulder wound.
Then dip some iodine into a cotton swab and start applying it to the wound.
Although he has a certain self-healing ability and his wounds heal quickly, it does not mean that he can resist the power of the curse from the mother-in-law. This thing is poisonous but not poisonous. I don’t know the specific working principle. In case of deep infection If you are not aware of it, that would be unreasonable.
So Shen Xing is going to continue to observe it these days.
If the wound does not heal for a long time, you may need to use some unconventional methods, or contact Zhou Dao and ask him what to do in this situation.
While applying iodine, Feifei packed up her things and walked out of the bedroom. After seeing Shen Xing applying iodine, she immediately returned to the bedroom, took out the little sun in the room, placed it in front of Shen Xing and opened it.
Then he ran to the bathroom, washed his hands with hot water, and walked quickly while keeping his little hands warm.
"Uncle Shen, let me wipe it for you. My hands are still warm." Feifei said while breathing into her hands.
Shen Xing laughed: "Can you do it?"
"Why don't I know it?" Feifei said: "You are wrong. The book says that just wiping iodine is not enough. After wiping iodine, you need to use alcohol with a concentration of about 70% to remove iodine. Only in this way will you get best effect."
While saying this, Feifei took the cotton swab from Shen Xing's hand and carefully wiped it for him. She changed two or three cotton swabs and wiped all the open wounds.
Feifei added: "But the book seems to say that if the wound is broken, iodine is not suitable."
"It's okay, my body is different from others, feel free to use it as you please." Shen Xing said.
Not long after, Feifei found an alcohol bottle from the small medicine box at home. This small medicine box was usually equipped by Shen Xing, just to prevent any unexpected situations at home and the need for emergency use.
For families like him and Feifei who deal with abnormalities all the time, things like first aid kits are definitely a necessity.
After waiting for a while, after the iodine solution dried, Feifei wiped him with alcohol to remove iodine. During this period, Shen Xing felt almost no pain.
This is not because his wounds are numb, but because his physique has been strengthened. This type of pain has very little impact on him now.
After putting away the contents of the first aid kit and putting it back in Shen Xing's bedroom, Feifei warned Shen Xing like a little adult and quickly went to wash up and go to bed.
Shen Xing originally thought about absorbing the wood carving of Zhong Po III before going to bed, but he felt too tired, so he planned to wait until the next day.
The two of them went back to their bedrooms without closing the door. Not long after, Shen Xing came out and turned off the lights in the living room.
About ten minutes later, when Shen Xing's breathing sounded evenly, outside the living room window, the cat doll's head slowly shrank, its back leaning against the outer wall, just like a real cat, squatting steadily on the outer wall. Raised edges.
She had been lying quietly outside the window just now, and Shen Xing also knew her location and used his mind to ask her if she wanted to enter the house.
The cat puppet replied that he would wait until Feifei went to sleep.
Shen Xing knew that it might be because they were not familiar with each other yet, so he didn't force it. As time went by, the two of them would gradually become familiar with each other.
When Shen Xing is awake, as long as he is within an effective distance, he can feel the other person's presence and specific location at any time, and communicate through thought induction, but he cannot do this when he is asleep.
Under the window outside the building, a cold wind blew, biting the bone, but it had no effect on the cat puppet.
At this moment, she was squatting under the window, constantly talking to herself, and whispering something in her mouth.
"Kill her! Now!"
"No, absolutely not!"
"Why? Isn't this your purpose?"
"It's your purpose, not mine!"
…
