Jingzhou central city, western suburbs villa.
After the first batch of wood carvings were sent out, a special team had already sent back the abnormally contained wood carvings in just three days.
This is the rule of the headquarters. The wood carvings that have completed the containment mission cannot be directly kept by the local special teams. They must be returned to the headquarters research institute for research and dispatch.
These abnormal wood carvings were first placed in the underground warehouse of the villa in the western suburbs. The warehouse underwent special transformation. The original wine cellar was turned into a wood carving rack. There are three floors above and three floors below. It is not just the wall. As long as it can The place where the wood carvings are placed is fully occupied, making full use of all the underground space.
At present, it seems that this place is enough to display the returned wood carvings, but if Shen Xing's wood carvings are fully spread in various states, it may be necessary to find a larger place to display them.
Moreover, Shen Xing also discovered that the black special vehicle with a radar device on the roof of the institute would come over from time to time and select a few wood carvings to take back to the institute.
Shen Xing knew very well that although he had told Dean Li Zhen that his wood carvings were irreversible after containing anomalies, the institute must be thinking of ways to achieve this reversal so that the contained anomalies could be removed from the wood carvings. Take it out completely.
Let them study. These researchers have a spirit of exploration that never looks back. Shen Xing knew that he could not influence them no matter what.
But there is a good thing. If among the wood carvings sent back, he encounters abnormal characteristics that he is interested in, he will selectively absorb one or two.
If the side effects of this characteristic are too great, he will directly convert it into absorbing the attributes he needs, but so far, he has not directly absorbed any latent skills.
Because for Shen Xing, latent skills below super level, unless they are particularly bizarre and special, have no appeal to him.
But now he has discovered a great advantage, that is, if he does not consider the consequences, when the stored wood carvings reach a certain number one day, he can directly absorb all the abnormal characteristics!
The characteristic energy harvested by then would be so large that even Shen Xing himself could not imagine it.
I wonder if I will reach the top all at once?
Now Shen Xing doesn't know if there is a limit to the amount of abnormal energy he can absorb, because this thing is really difficult to improve, so he can only guess and cannot be sure at all.
However, the institute is currently in the stage of large-scale in-depth research on these abnormal wood carvings, so Shen Xing cannot be ruthless.
If the institute really develops a method that can reverse the containment, it will be fine if one or two of all the abnormal characteristics in the wood sculptures disappear. If all of them disappear, this will not be justified.
Therefore, Shen Xing could only catch fish secretly. Occasionally, one or two abnormal wood carving characteristics were lost, which was still within the institute's error tolerance and acceptable range.
A large number of abnormal lists came one after another. If they had to take care of everything, Shen Xing would not have enough time. He could just make the wood carvings according to the list. The only thing he had to pay attention to was the speed and precision of the carvings in the process.
However, one thing surprised Shen Xing: his original wood carving suddenly became popular.
Because I don’t know which special operator who had seen him in person accidentally discovered the wooden carving of Shen Xing that was circulating on the market. After hearing that this kind of wood carving could ward off evil spirits and expel abnormalities, the special operator spread the news. .
Shen Xing's original wood carving suddenly became popular.
Maopupu had asked Mo Tu to call several times, asking Shen Xing to add more inventory, but the calls directly stopped at Shen Xing's work team, and Shen Xing didn't know about it until two weeks later.
At this time, some difficult anomalies reported by various states have basically been dealt with by the corresponding wood carvings, and the pressure on them to deal with abnormal cases is greatly reduced.
There is also time to devote more energy to dealing with the small number of invisible anomalies that cannot be carved into wood sculptures.
Shen Xing finally had time to make some of his own wood carvings.
There is also a hill-like pile of wood stacked in the front yard of the villa, with adequate protection measures against rain, sun, mildew, and insects, making it easy for Shen Xing to retrieve materials at any time.
In his free time after making the wood carvings, Shen Xing would release the Achai and Fright Obsession in the cards and let them walk around the third floor.
Achai has been fully recovered in the card.
The fearful obsession was partially traumatized when it met the deformed old man last time, but its recovery speed was much faster than Achai's.
There is no device to detect scanning abnormalities in the villa. As long as Achai and Fearful Obsession do not disturb the work team on the first floor and leave the villa, nothing will happen.
Now as Shen Xing's original wood carving spreads more and more widely, he is absorbing a large amount of characteristic energy every moment.
After only staying in the villa in the western suburbs for more than a month, I directly improved my killing ability to 999%.
The last 1% of Shen Xing was not improved for the time being. He converted the characteristic energy he absorbed into spiritual antibodies and raised the antibodies directly to level 35. It took another two months.
However, according to Shen Xing's guess, the level of mental antibodies may reach around level 99.
During this period, he was still completing the list of anomalies in various places and making his own wood carvings.
Because we are currently in an abnormal outbreak period, the wood carvings he can make now are only those that are relatively tricky and difficult to deal with. As for others, there are still a large number of anomalies lined up that are not so urgent to deal with.
If you look at it from the perspective of all states, the wood sculptures made by Shen Xing now are just a drop in the bucket. They are far from being able to completely deter anomalies. At most, they can only be regarded as a certain threat.
However, as long as the most urgent wood carving needs of the special teams in each region are ensured and delivered in time, the abnormal surge in all regions will not cause large-scale panic, and the special headquarters will be able to deploy action teams with ease.
It took Shen Xing two months to have his task force transport a reworked sealed cabin, which was modified from the rear part of an abandoned train.
Only one-third of the rear part of the car was taken and placed in the backyard of the villa, which does not occupy a large area. The shape has been modified into an oval, making it look spacious inside.
Shen Xing then asked the task force to install a single bed, a bookshelf, a writing desk and a small dining table inside. These items were all specially made and not large in size, just enough for Feifei to use.
However, Shen Xing doesn't plan to let Feifei live in it for the time being, because it also emits a formaldehyde-like smell and needs to be ventilated to let it dissipate naturally.
However, because it was a sealed cabin, the ventilation effect was not good. Shen Xing had two more vents opened. The inside and outside of the vents were made of high-grade alloy with fences to prevent them from being easily invaded.
Others didn't know what the sealed cabin was used for, but they followed Shen Xing's instructions and kept it clean.
Feifei is also working hard to adjust her mentality during this time and be mentally prepared to unlock the seal.
A few days later, Shen Xing came to Feifei's activity room on the third floor and showed her a newly made wood sculpture.
Although Feifei didn't look carefully that night, she saw at a glance that the wooden sculpture was the woman in a black dress and long hair who appeared in the Ivy Community in Yungu City.
"I wonder if this wood carving can work on her?" Facing Feifei, Shen Xing seemed to be asking herself.
It can be seen that he himself is not very sure.
Feifei looked at the wood carving carefully: "I feel like it already looks similar."
"Now we are worried that there are subtle differences between the real person and the clone of the phone girl, and this difference is precisely what we have not grasped. In this case, it will be the most fatal mistake in the end." Shen Xing analyzed carefully.
After a pause, he saw Feifei looking at him with some confusion, and explained: "After unlocking your seal, I am not worried about other abnormalities. The only thing I am worried about is the girl on the phone last time. Because she is too strong. Yes, and I suspect it was because of you that she called me to find me."
"Ah?" Feifei was stunned.
Shen Xing continued: "For an anomaly like this, which is top-notch even in Discord, she most likely has a special sense. Although you are sealed, I have the most contact with you. She is just like other anomalies with special characteristics and abilities. , such as the Thought Sentinel. Although there is no reason, it can still reach you subconsciously through me. "
"So you're worried that if my taste seal is unlocked, the phone girl will find me soon? Are you afraid that you won't be able to deal with her then?" Feifei nodded in understanding.
Shen Xing sighed and put the wooden sculpture of the telephone girl in his hand on the table: "I have a good memory, but now that I have made the wooden sculpture of the telephone girl, I don't dare to bet on this one."
Feifei said: "If it doesn't work, don't break the seal for now. Wait until you are absolutely sure to deal with her. Well, I can wait."
"I'll think of other ways." Shen Xing said: "Actually, as far as I know, the danger comes not only from the phone girl, but also from an anomaly that we need to guard against."
"Who?" Feifei asked in surprise.
"The deformed old man." Shen Xing recalled the scene that day in the Black Domain, "The last time I was seriously injured, I encountered the deformed old man. He controlled other anomalies to chase me one after another. Then he waited at the exit, When I thought I was almost unable to escape, he managed to escape after being injured."
"Isn't that good?" Feifei said puzzledly.
"I feel... he is letting me go." Shen Xing shook his head, "Otherwise if those vicious anomalies swarmed up, I wouldn't be able to hold on for long. So recently I have been guessing why he did this. If it was also because of Find or get close to you through me. I think this deformed old man may appear soon. Even if not, once your seal is released, I'm afraid this old guy will run faster than the phone girl, very soon Will come soon."
Feifei's little face turned slightly pale. After a moment, she bit her lower lip: "I'm not afraid. If my seal is released, I will definitely not be like this now. I will also grow. I won't Afraid of him!"
"But your growth takes time. Even after the seal is released, it may be one month, one year, or even five or ten years. But they... don't need it." Shen Xingdao.
Feifei thought for a moment and said slowly: "We can give it a try. After my seal is released, I will feel it myself. If I feel that this growth process is very long, I will continue to seal it."
"During this process, I will do my best to delay time for you." Shen Xing said: "Help you eliminate as many anomalies as possible that are attracted to you."
"Yeah." Feifei nodded heavily.
"But this matter has a great impact. If a powerful anomaly is attracted, it will most likely attract the attention of the special headquarters." Shen Xing frowned and said: "Don't be too hasty now. And I was in a hurry last time to escape pursuit. , the memory of the deformed old man is somewhat ambiguous, and I am still researching his wood carving, making sure it is at least 95% similar to the deformed old man himself."
"I'm not in a hurry, Uncle Shen, I'll start whenever you say." Feifei said firmly.
Now Shen Xing actually suspected that the phone girl and the deformed old man were most likely the core anomaly mentioned in the secret anomaly information at the headquarters that he had seen.
To deal with this type of anomaly, I don't know if wood carving alone will work. If there are other changes, I must be fully prepared in advance to ensure that I can handle it.
When he used Mr. Tear's wooden sculpture to contain Mr. Tear, Shen Xing's mental energy was almost exhausted, and it was very difficult to take in Mr. Tear.
Dealing with disordered anomalies is already so difficult, Shen Xing doesn't believe it will get any easier when dealing with the phone woman and the deformed old man.
After coming out of Feifei's room, Shen Xing continued to polish the wood carvings of the phone girl and the deformed old man. After hand-drawing the two abnormal appearances, he sent them to Zhou Dao, who was already serving as the central brain.
He wanted to ask Zhou Dao to check the anomaly database at the headquarters to see if there was any information about these two anomalies, especially imaging data.
Zhou Dao's brain has now been upgraded to take over about 80% of the headquarters' core information. This period is also a critical period. After receiving Shen Xing's request, he replied that he would give a reply in a week or two after his own information database is established.
Three days later.
Shen Xing completed the list of the thirteenth batch of abnormal wood carvings and at the same time received a salary text message from the special headquarters.
His current salary grade belongs to the senior researcher level of the Special Headquarters Research Institute, which is only slightly lower than Professor Bo last time.
But no senior researcher's other ancillary benefits are as good as Shen Xing's. Except for Dean Li Zhen and the other two vice presidents, no one in the institute has as much privileges as him.
From the moment he entered this villa in the southern suburbs, all the wood, whether it was for private use or public use, was taken care of by the special headquarters, and he didn't have to pay a penny.
And no one is forcing Shen Xing. During this period, as long as he is tired and doesn't want to do anything, he can go out at any time, and he will be immediately followed by members of the working group and task force, making him a key protection target.
This was true no matter where he appeared in Central City.
Originally, she was going to ask Feifei to go shopping in the supermarket to satisfy her long-lost shopping desire, but just as she arrived on the first floor, team leader Liao of the working group came over with a phone.
"Teacher Shen, there was a call from Kunzhou, saying that a high-level anomaly was suspected to have been discovered."
Now they all call Shen Xing with the suffix - teacher, because everyone respects Shen Xing, but Shen Xing is indeed not very old, and he is not a professor or a real researcher.
"How does this abnormal characteristic manifest?" Shen Xing asked.
"It caused everyone in the area to be isolated." Team Leader Liao said.
