By now, Shen Xing had extensive experience in dealing with anomalies. He knew the source of this urge to cry, which was probably caused by his failure to answer the guy's questions directly.
Now falling asleep instantly is ineffective for crying people, and it also wastes a lot of breath of the magic baby. The freezing of sight seems to be effective, freezing this guy's body, but actually it still can't stop him from attacking me.
A crying person can have huge changes in his emotions, feelings and thoughts from a distance without even using his hands to attack him.
After a pause, he decided to answer the guy's question: "I like myself."
The urge to cry disappeared instantly, and at the same moment, the guy who had just been frozen turned to look at him.
This made Shen Xing slightly stunned. He didn't know when the crying person could move. Maybe the freezing of his vision just made his body freeze for a short time, and he could have moved long ago.
Or maybe it didn't freeze him at all.
"Why do you like it?" The crying man asked again, and walked over step by step, approaching Shen Xing only half a meter away before stopping.
Shen Xing remembered the answer of the crying man when he asked the other party just now. He thought about it for a while and replied: "I don't know, it's that kind of innate liking. I have never hated myself, so I feel like why I am so Capable, so smart, so handsome, so lovable... and extremely likeable, anyone would be happy to get close to me, like... you now."
"Never...have you ever hated yourself?" the crying person asked.
Shen Xing shook his head: "Never. Sometimes it may motivate me why I didn't do better. Maybe if I work harder, better results will happen."
"Then are you feeling regretful, annoyed, or blaming yourself?"
"What's the use of self-blame? Can pointing make the results better?" Shen Xing said with a smile: "I have always believed that once you decide to do it, you should not regret it, but you can consider improving and encounter similar things in the future. It can be done better.”
"You... are very good." The crying man seemed to have stopped crying at this moment, but his face was full of tears and tear stains. He continued to ask: "Do you hate your family?"
Shen Xing thought for a while and shook his head: "I don't hate them. To be honest, I always feel like I just met them now. I cherish this feeling."
The crying man seemed stunned for a moment. He didn't know why Shen Xing felt this way about his parents, but his focus was obviously not here. He asked again: "Do you hate other people you have met in your life?"
Shen Xing paused and secretly thought that these words were extremely lethal. No matter how good-tempered or tolerant a person is, who has never hated others? It will definitely happen, it is simply unavoidable.
It was as if when I met Lele's parents, I was also dissatisfied with their attitude towards me and the way Lele saw "who he was".
He didn't answer immediately, but thought about it in his mind for a moment, sorting out how to deal with this problem.
But not long after, the urge to cry came again. Shen Xing rolled his eyes at the guy in front of him, and it seemed that he couldn't answer any slower.
"Of course I hate it..." Shen Xing said. When he said this, he found that tears had burst into his eyes and he could not stop it at all.
However, he ignored it and continued: "Many times, we want other people or things to develop in the direction we have determined. If it is not the same, or we cannot grasp this certainty, we will feel anxious and helpless. Help, and even give rise to feelings of disgust, opposition, and avoidance. Don’t you know that what happens most in this world is actually this kind of uncertainty? No one, or in other words, no anomaly can determine everything in this world. After all, we are not gods."
When he said this, the tears he was shedding had stopped.
Shen Xing tried his best to open his eyes wide, looked at the person in front of him who was no longer crying, and said word by word: "This world is not as beautiful as imagined, and people are not as beautiful as they imagined, so hate is inevitable. But more importantly, I will embrace the many uncertainties the world throws at me and accept their incompleteness.”
The moment the words fell, Shen Xing felt that he just blinked and the crying person standing in front of him had disappeared.
He looked around and then looked up at the ceiling. There was no sign of the guy in the room. Anyway, if the hanging man was above his head, he wouldn't be able to see it at all.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Xing opened the door to the guest room and walked to the corridor. After looking around the corridor, he stood in front of one of the doors, listening and sensing carefully for a moment.
Not long after, he returned to the bedside in his room and called the front desk.
A lazy female voice answered quickly: "Hello, front desk."
"Please come to room 210 on the second floor immediately. Something may have happened there." Shen Xing hung up the phone without waiting for the other party to ask in detail.
Not long after, two women hurriedly caught up with keys, looking as if they had just woken up.
Shen Xing was already standing at the door of room 210 waiting for them.
"What happened?" one of the fat women asked.
"I just heard a child screaming in the room. After knocking on the door, no one answered." Shen Xing said deliberately.
The thinner woman had already inserted the key into the keyhole, then knocked on the door and shouted: "Is there anyone there? Can we come in?"
No one inside answered.
"Are you sure you heard clearly?" the fat woman asked Shen Xing.
Because if the guest does not encounter any accidents at this time and enters without the consent of the people in the room, he will receive a complaint from the guest.
The tourism agencies in the Sunset Mountain area have stricter management in this area.
Shen Xing nodded: "I'm sure there's someone inside, something must have happened."
The door was opened, and the three of them walked into the room. They saw Lele sitting alone on the bed, staring blankly at the door, with empty eyes. Apart from being in a trance, it seemed that his body was not hurt.
But his parents were not found in the house, including the bathroom.
"Where are your parents?" the thin woman asked, "Why are you left here alone?"
Lele seemed unable to hear, still staring at the door of the room dully.
When the thin woman wanted to continue asking, the slightly fat woman tugged at her and said softly: "I just saw a family of three coming upstairs at the front desk, and I didn't see his parents coming downstairs."
Shen Xing stood behind the two waitresses, took out his black wood carving from the black domain space, put his hands behind his back, and calmly held the wood carving in his hands.
The weird atmosphere in the room was quickly broken. Lele cried loudly and seemed to have finally calmed down. Then she pointed in the direction of the door and said in a low and frightened voice: "Who is he? He Who is it? Who is he..."
The three people in the room all looked at the door, but saw nothing.
And the expressions of the two waitresses had changed. After looking at each other, one of them said: "I'll call the Sheriff. Please tell the boss to come over."
When Shen Xing saw their reactions, it seemed that he was very experienced in what they were encountering at this moment!
He pretended not to understand anything and asked: "Why did you report it to the sheriff? Maybe the child's parents just went out to buy something and will be back soon."
"No, no." The slightly plump woman shook her head quickly, "He was asking 'who is he'. Something happened and the Sheriff must be notified. This is what the Sheriff told us."
Shen Xing understood. It seemed that this kind of thing had happened here more than once, and the local sheriff must have been in contact with the special investigation team in charge of this place and designated this type of case as a special case.
However, this situation should not happen often, otherwise this tourist attraction may be directly canceled or suspended from receiving tourists.
Shen Xing secretly put the black wood carving away. Someone had already taken care of the next matter, so he no longer had to worry about Lele.
After questioning the two women, they said that cases of missing parents had happened in other B&Bs before. Only the children were fine, but they were frightened and would point to a certain place and keep saying "Who is he?"
The symptoms are the same as Lele's at the moment. This is an excessive reaction to fright.
The store owner arrived quickly, then the local sheriff, and finally a special agent named Ren Guangming arrived at the scene.
This special agent's outfit is a bit cool, wearing a black windbreaker, leggings pants, and big leather boots. He looks a bit like he came out of "The Matrix".
When he arrived, two police officers were in Shen Xing's room asking about the situation.
Shen Xing just said that Lele once pointed at him and said "Who is he?" and then in the evening he heard someone screaming in their room. After he called the waiter and opened the room, it became what it is now.
There was no need for him to tell all the truth to the Sheriffs. These Sheriffs were just ordinary people. They definitely didn't know as much as the Special Task Force, and they couldn't handle abnormalities as tightly as the Special Task Force.
And there are so many people talking, no one can guarantee that these local police officers will not reveal these strange information after dinner, causing panic among tourists or locals.
However, the two police officers did not seem to believe it. In their words, people pointed out by children in previous cases would also disappear. They believed that Shen Xing must have encountered something and was hiding it.
Even the tone of one of the sheriffs had become stern, a bit scolding. Ren Guangming happened to see this scene when he came to Shen Xing's room.
Ren Guangming took out his ID, and Shen Xing learned that he was a local special agent. He looked at the two sulky-looking police officers in front of him and asked with an apologetic smile: "Can I say something?"
He said this to Ren Guangming.
Ren Guangming was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that the young man in front of him seemed a bit unusual. Before he arrived, the other party must have had reservations in his story, as if his purpose was to wait for his arrival.
He sat down close to the edge of the bed, stared at Shen Xing and said, "Do you know what our special operators do?"
Shen Xing did not answer, but took out his red heart certificate and handed it to him.
The two police officers took the opportunity to take a look at the certificate and found that they did not recognize it, and they couldn't help but feel confused.
But Ren Guangming only glanced at it after taking it, and immediately showed a surprised look on his face: "Are you a special investigator!?"
Shen Xing nodded.
Ren Guangming looked cautious and returned the red heart certificate to Shen Xing with both hands.
After taking it, Shen Xing put it away and asked casually: "Are you in charge of this area?"
"Yes." Ren Guangming's tone had become very humble, which the two sheriffs could feel.
"What level is the electrostatic fusion level?" Shen Xing asked again.
Ren Guangming lowered his head slightly: "Uh, two levels."
Shen Xing shook his head. This level of static electricity fusion was obviously too low in his opinion. He asked, "I haven't found this anomaly yet. Don't you think it's strange from above? Why don't you send someone to help you?"
Ren Guangming said with shame: "Such cases don't actually occur very often. They may occur once or twice throughout the year, or not even once. And there is no trace to be found. A working group was sent to investigate, and the result was that There has been no progress.”
Having said this, Ren Guangming glanced at the two police officers who were already a little restless and ordered: "You guys go out first."
"Okay, Mr. Special Operator."
The two police officers immediately stood up and nodded to Shen Xing with a smile on their face. Shen Xing also nodded in response and did not feel any discomfort because he had been scolded by the other party just now.
When the two sheriffs saw this, their hearts suddenly felt at ease, and they quickly left the room with smiles on their faces.
"Except for today, has anything happened this year?" Shen Xing asked Ren Guangming.
Ren Guangming shook his head: "No. The randomness of this abnormal case is too strong. Sometimes it happens in B&Bs, that is, among tourists, and sometimes it only happens among locals."
After he finished speaking, he counted silently in his mind, and then said: "Well, so far, 8 locals on the Sunset Mountain side have disappeared. But there is one thing that is strange. The missing people are all adults, and the children are just scared. arrived, but no other injuries were sustained.”
"Have any children described in detail what the person they saw looked like?" Shen Xing asked.
This is very important to him. If a child can successfully describe it, and the portraitist draws a picture based on the description, he will have the opportunity to carve "who he is" based on that portrait.
Of course, this is also risky, because there is no guarantee that the child's description will be more than 90% similar to "who he is" as he sees it.
Ren Guangming said with some regret: "No child can describe the appearance of the person they saw. The most they said was that the person was crying, and then they kept asking 'who is he' after the disappearance case. Well, this It seemed to be a question, and even after these children saw the man's appearance, they kept stating this question."
"Are there any other useful discoveries?" Shen Xing asked.
Ren Guangming did not answer immediately, but thought carefully before shaking his head: "No, I remember that the Pingzhou Special Investigation Center even used detectors to conduct a large-scale secret search last year, but there was still no result. Now what we are looking forward to The best thing is that we can catch this anomaly in the middle of committing a crime and catch it."
"It may not be a good thing for you to see it commit a crime." Shen Xing denied his view.
Ren Guangming reacted and said with some surprise: "You mean it's very strong? By the way, I still don't know how you got rid of this anomaly."
Now it seems that they don't know as much as Shen Xing.
Shen Xing did not hide anything anymore, and recounted the process of meeting the other crying self in detail, including what he said at the end, and the other person suddenly disappeared, and his true face was never seen from the beginning to the end.
"If it doesn't work, I can only apply for more special agents to be sent over to guard the situation. I just don't know when the next case will happen." Ren Guangming sighed.
Shen Xingdao: "I have been here for the past two days. As long as you ensure that there is no obstacle to my investigation here, I think I can find that guy as soon as possible."
Hearing these words, Ren Guangming's eyes lit up slightly. Shen Xing was able to escape safely after encountering the anomaly, and he was the holder of the Red Heart Certificate. He had no reason not to believe in the other party's ability.
Now that Shen Xing has been exposed to the anomaly, he understands it better than himself. If he joins in the investigation, it will definitely be the best time not long after the case occurs!
"Yeah, brother Shen, don't worry, I will definitely cooperate with you!" Ren Guangming nodded like a fool, not caring that he was actually several years older than Shen Xing, and shouted like a brother.
At this moment, there was a knock on the open door of the room, and one of the police officers who had just left stood at the door.
Now the sheriff no longer dared to enter without the consent of the people in the house.
"What's the matter?" Ren Guangming sat without getting up and just asked.
The Sheriff stood at the door and said: "Mr. Special Coordinator, Lele is completely awake. What he said is no different from other children. He still cannot describe the appearance of the person. But he refused to go back to the police station with us. Regardless of the security situation, No matter how much Auntie Guan tried to persuade him, he was still unwilling."
Ren Guangming frowned and asked, "Then what does he want?"
The Sheriff said with some embarrassment: "This kid is quite stubborn. He said he would follow us to catch the guy who made his parents disappear."
