Seeing this, James became even more confused, and his long-standing curiosity doubled again. In order to find out the truth, how could the fat man hold back? Just push the big dog away and look up, like the German Shepherd, looking up at the top of the big tree, and then...
He saw legs, a pair of human calves.
No, it's not just a human leg. To be precise, it should be a person.
At this moment, under the gaze of James' eyes that suddenly widened due to the sudden sight of his legs, he looked up and saw a person, a man, suspended in the sky on the top of the tree!
Yes, it is indeed a man. The evidence comes from the other party's attire. They are a pair of feet wearing men's leather shoes. The upper part is connected to the waistband of trousers representing the lower body. Only the upper body is hidden in the tree branches. I don't know if it is a coincidence or intentional. Then, just when James raised his head and discovered the legs above him, the man who was originally suspended in the air with only his lower body sticking out of the branch also slowly descended, slowly descending quietly and slowly under the gaze of the fat man's increasingly pale and trembling face. Then the abdomen, chest, and neck are exposed, until the head is revealed and the face is revealed.
But……
As the man revealed his full face, as an observer, James also saw the man's appearance clearly and his eyes bulged out and his mouth opened wide. In addition to his whole face looking pale with fear, his plump body was shaking crazily and uncontrollably at this moment!
The fat man was frightened to death, stunned, and was so frightened that he was frozen on the spot and had no reaction at all. Because the scene in front of him was so terrifying, James couldn't even scream. His only reaction was horror, and his biggest movement was trembling.
What scares James like this?
The answer is the face, the true appearance of the suspended man.
Looking closely, the first thing that catches the eye is a strange face, a terrifying face that seems to be made up of two different faces!
The face on the left side tends to be normal. Except for the pale complexion, it is basically a human face. And this face is somewhat similar, as if it has been seen before. In the memory, it should belong to a certain oriental man, one of several agricultural experts who came here recently. One, an Oriental man named Peng Yuxiang.
It's a pity that only half of Peng Yuxiang's face is located on the left side of the face. As for the right side...
blank.
There is nothing, it is absolutely pure white with no eyes, no mouth, not even ears or hair. Only the vague outline of the face proves that it is also a face, but a pure white face without facial features!
At this moment, with the cold wind howling and mixed with falling snowflakes, this strange man with two faces descended slowly and quietly, leaving the tree and reaching the ground as James's eyes widened and widened, until he was face to face. The way stood in front of the fat man.
"Ah, ah...ah...ah..."
Due to excessive fear, James was completely sluggish. His mind went blank and his whole body was shaking wildly under the unprecedented fear. His mouth as wide as a bowl could only whimper and nothing else, and then let out bursts of meaningless moans and sorrows.
After looking at each other for a moment, Peng Yuxiang smiled, half of his normal pale face opened at the corners of his mouth after staring at the reaction of the fat man in front of him, and then, something happened!
Whoosh!
Peng Yuxiang disappeared. No, he didn't disappear. Instead, his body twisted into a long strip the next second he revealed his ferocious snicker. After that, he circled and flew in the air like a life-threatening snake. Finally, before James had time to speak, Peng Yuxiang disappeared. The scream entered the mouth in an instant, and went straight into the fat man's mouth with a hurricane speed that was too fast to catch, and there was no trace of his body.
………
Under the tree, when Peng Yuxiang entered James' body, the short fat man lost all movement and stood directly on the spot with his head lowered. The whole person did not react for a long time. Only the shepherd dog named Creton watched the scene in front of him. The state changed drastically. For some reason, the dog became manic at this moment. At the same time, it turned its gaze upward to James, and then barked frequently at the fat man who had been silent for a long time.
"Woof woof, woof woof woof!"
However, just when the shepherd dog was barking frequently and uneasily, James suddenly moved. After being stunned in place for about two minutes, he suddenly stretched out his hand without any warning, grabbed the big dog's neck, and then tightened his fingers hard and twisted!
Alright.
Listening to the soft sound of bones, the barking of the dog suddenly stopped. Clinton was dead, strangled to death by the owner who suddenly attacked him.
Plop.
As the dog corpse twitched and fell to the snow, the only being who could see through the truth completely disappeared.
As for James...
The fat man raised his head and smiled, as if he had just killed his own big dog and raised the corners of his mouth again without warning. Not only that, in addition to grinning and snickering for no reason, if you look closely and look closely, you can also faintly notice that James's skin is pale. Both the exposed face and the body hidden under the clothes are all a little whiter than before. Fortunately, the overall change is not big. On the surface, James is still the same James, from head to toe, it is a pity that the above But it only stays on the surface.
After laughing, the fat man moved accordingly, carrying the shotgun and turning back without even looking at the dog corpse. He said he was turning back, but he did not go back to his house as expected, but faced the dog corpse. After walking in the wind and snow for a long time, he continued to move south after passing his own farm, heading to another location half a mile away, towards the farm where his neighbor Will lived.
Hooray, hooray.
The cold wind swept across, and snowflakes danced all over the sky. As the footsteps moved, they gradually moved away. Soon, the man disappeared into the snow curtain in the distance.
………
It is often said that serendipity is unexpected, which can be understood as the fact that when you enter a new environment, you never know what is inside. This is reflected in Will, who moved into his new farm home just a week ago After that, the man with the rice dumpling hair searched the entire farm out of curiosity that night. Overall, many locations on the farm were as the agent said, except for the addition of a basement.
Yes, during the search, Will found a small door in the small back hall next to the living room, which was connected to a wooden staircase. He hurried down the stairs and found that it was actually a basement. In fact, there was a basement. It’s not surprising, after all, many farms have the habit of opening cellars to store grain, but this basement is different. There is no trace of grain here, only parts scattered on the floor, various disassembled household appliance parts, and only A large amount of worthless scrap machinery was also piled on a wooden table against the wall. No one except scrap collectors would be interested in these parts.
Witnessing this scene, Will also made a guess. He guessed that the previous homeowner must have been a mechanical enthusiast. Otherwise, why would there be a pile of mechanical parts in the basement? Of course, that's what he thought, but Will didn't clean it up. He didn't directly drive away the garbage that was equivalent to scrap and sell it for cleaning as he imagined. Instead, he left this pile of parts. The reason is very simple. Although it is threatening I am not a mechanical enthusiast, but I am a master of physics, and I am also involved in machinery. I thought that I would play with machinery to relieve my boredom. In the end, with the mentality of relieving my boredom, Will left behind this pile of Trash and rags that are worthless in the eyes of others.
Then, the basement was discovered by He Fei.
There was no reason, no reason. Looking at the mechanical parts piled up in front of him, the college student who had been worried about signal problems recently suddenly had an idea, and the idea of trying it suddenly emerged in his mind.
Since the unknown signal released by the worm can affect the human brain and then pose a threat, and the signal is neither tangible nor visible, leaving the executor defenseless, then why not use tools?
Yes, it may be possible to detect signals with the help of some professional equipment, and then detect and prevent them in advance!
This was the idea that came to He Fei's mind when he accidentally discovered many parts in the basement. If a machine that can detect signals can be built, it will undoubtedly be able to effectively prevent signal attacks. Even if the signal cannot be blocked, it doesn't matter. As long as it can be discovered in advance, everyone can finally know who is being attacked by the signal!
Thinking of this, He Fei was immediately overjoyed, but it was a pity...
He doesn't have the ability to make it, not to mention that the major he studied in college was not electronic machinery. He is not good at it, and neither are others. Cheng Ying is just a killer, but the other party is good at killing people. He is definitely blind when it comes to mechanics. As for Qian Xueling, Chen Shuihong and Chen Guangyu were almost helpless. However, when the young man was at his wits' end and looking at the house full of parts, He Fei suddenly thought of one person, the owner of this farm, Will!
I remember that when we first met, the man with the brown hair introduced himself as a master of physics. If nothing else, at least his major was very close to the direction of machinery. Then he thought that the parts scattered on the floor in front of him were most likely from the other party's collection. Maybe, maybe The problem can be solved by Will.
Just do it as soon as you think of it, without hesitation. Just after lunch today, He Fei took the idle Will and rushed to the basement.
At this moment, in the basement, with the help of light, Will's face was solemn, and he was currently listening to what He Fei said, until his brows became more and more frowning during the college student's unquestionable narration.
"Mr. Will, please don't tell secrets. I am indeed a staff member of the research institute, but at the same time I am also a paranormal researcher. As I said when we first met, I personally believe in the existence of locusts and believe that there are indeed many worms in the world. The main reason for the supernatural phenomenon is that I have seen a locust with my own eyes. I witnessed it with my own eyes when I was a child. It was one evening after school. I was responsible for cleaning the house and accidentally saw a woman and a foot floating out of the balcony of the teaching building. A woman who floats in the air without touching the ground."
There is no need to talk too much nonsense when communicating between smart people, just point out the key points, especially when you are dealing with someone who has seen a hawk with his own eyes.
After listening to He Fei's above description, Will, who originally wanted to ask why the other party invited him to come here alone, stopped talking for a moment. It was not that he didn't want to talk, but that he was not stupid, or that he could tell from the seriousness of the young man in front of him. I noticed something in his expression and tone.
As expected, as He Fei's words ended, Will recalled many past problems, such as Tom's weird picture that always made him troubled, and the terrifying faceless man he witnessed on the day he moved in!
Now this young man surnamed He from the East has bluntly told himself that there are locusts in the world. Could it be that...
After thinking thoughtfully for a moment, Will opened his mouth and asked, "Mr. He, what do you mean?"
"I suspect there are hawks nearby!" Faced with Will's probing questioning, He Fei confessed and continued to tell the man his opinion in a tone that left no room for doubt.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Will, who had indeed seen the faceless man with his own eyes, did not express disbelief like ordinary people. Instead, he frowned even more tightly. After a long time, he raised his head and asked in a doubtful tone: "Doubt it? And what are you referring to? Is it nearby?"
As the wise man recognized by the entire team, He Fei has a good grasp of human nature. He knows that he must not tell Will the truth. If he does, the other person will definitely be paralyzed by fear, and then run away overnight. Escape is okay. But the problem is that once Will runs away, his machine manufacturing plan will undoubtedly come to nothing. In this case, there is only one solution left, and that is to arouse the man's curiosity with a suspicious tone until the other party wants to prove that he has Only in this way can the plan be implemented smoothly.
Therefore, as soon as he listened to Will's question and maintained a serious expression, He Fei pointed his finger at the ground and continued to answer: "I mean that there is very likely a locust hidden in the Daroson Plain where we are currently, and it can threaten humans. The terrifying evil spirit. As for what it is specifically, perhaps it is the tall, thin, faceless man you have seen, as you said at the beginning, Mr. Will."
Faceless man?
His body couldn't help but froze, and his expression suddenly changed. Not to mention, after He Fei mentioned it like this, Will, who had almost forgotten about it because he was busy with farm work recently, actually changed his mind when he heard the words "faceless man", and then he Du recalled the horrifying sight in his living room a few days ago. In fact, it was precisely because of what he saw with his own eyes that Will, who originally did not believe in the God of God, changed. So far, he has evolved from a standard atheist to the current half-believer. After moving for so many days, I didn’t dare to go to the nearby forest.
I originally thought that the matter would be over, but now the young man named He Fei suddenly told me that the other party suspected that there was a wolf, and that the wolf was most likely to be the faceless man? After hearing this, Will couldn't help but become more curious, and then scratched his head and continued to ask: "Then how are you sure there are hawks nearby?"
Obviously, through the conversation just now, Will learned from He Fei's straightforward explanation that the other party was a theist, so he was not obsessed with why the young man was suspicious. What he was really curious about was why the other party was suspicious? In other words, why do you suspect there are locusts here? Yes, even if you are a theist, you can't just make random guesses without evidence, right?
Will didn't know what the evidence was, but He Fei, who had a motive, was already prepared. After listening to Will's inquiry, he raised his hand to his forehead and responded in a low voice as if he was feeling uncomfortable: "I don't know why. , my head has been dizzy since yesterday, along with several other expert team members. If I hadn’t heard Mr. Will’s earlier description at the beginning, I might have just regarded it as a common cold, but since then After you learned that you had witnessed a fleeting faceless man..."
Although He Fei did not continue what he said, Will understood the meaning of the young man's words. In fact, it made sense if he thought about it carefully. A cold in winter is nothing, but the problem is that several experts have been feeling unwell since yesterday? How many people are suffering together? This chance can be said to be extremely low. If what the other party said is true, then this so-called dizziness may really have a hidden meaning.
"Mr. He, are you and your colleagues feeling collectively uncomfortable since yesterday?"
Facing the young man's noncommittal nod of affirmation, Will's doubts deepened. He was silent for a long time, and finally opened his mouth to test in a enlightened tone: "That's why you doubt..."
"Yes, there is a saying in my country that whenever there is an evil spirit, the people nearby will often become weak and weak."
After hearing the answer, Will was infected. No matter how he thought about it, he believed that the other party had no reason to deceive him. Instinctively, like He Fei, he doubted himself again, doubted what he had seen before, and doubted the useless thing he had seen earlier. Is the man with a bad face caused by his own eyesight?
Then, the man looked at He Fei and continued to ask: "Then why is Mr. He specifically looking for me this time?"
(The time has come!)
As mentioned above, with his hard-working performance that was not inferior to that of a professional actor, the rice dumpling man believed it was true. This successfully ignited the fire of curiosity in Will's heart. Seeing the other party talking about the important point, He Fei saw the opportunity and told him bluntly: "As a As a master of physics, I guess Mr. Will must have heard of some scientific statements about spiritual beings. The scientific community says that worms are actually a kind of spiritual energy, which belongs to some kind of signal existence method similar to radio waves. If you want to prove that there are people around you, If there is no spirit, it may be possible to detect it using professional machines.”
Understood, completely understood. As soon as He Fei finished speaking, Will subconsciously turned his eyes to both sides, looking at the many parts scattered around the room, then turned around and asked tentatively: "Mr. He, do you want to... …”
"I think as a master of physics, you should be able to build a signal detector using on-site materials. As long as you can build it, not only will my doubts be answered, but your own recent doubts, Mr. Will, will almost be revealed. .”
"Huh? Why didn't I think of that?"
Induction is a technical job, and it is quite difficult to implement. After all, no matter how good your eloquence is, you cannot make a person completely listen to you. The truth is true, but it is precisely this kind of extremely difficult method. However, the task was easily completed by He Fei. First, he used Will's suspicion that he had seen the wolf with his own eyes to lure him to become more suspicious. Then, he put forward suggestions to induce the other party's growing curiosity, and finally unknowingly let the other party follow his own rules. Work with ideas.
This is said to be true, and it is even more true in reality. I don’t know whether he really understood many mechanical structure principles or was instantly awakened by the young man’s suggestion. After hearing this, across from him, Wilden, who was full of doubts just now, slapped his head as if he had discovered a new world. Suddenly, yes, since everyone, including myself, suspects that there are locusts nearby, and locusts are said to be just spiritual energy, why not give it a try instead of racking their brains and blindly guessing? Try to build a signal detector and then capture the signal to confirm whether there are slugs!
Yes, after figuring out He Fei's intentions, Will was inspired, and driven by his own strong curiosity, he planned to build a machine for detection. The purpose was simply to try to see if the machine could be used to detect the existence of spiritual bodies. Anyway, he was idle. Well, since it’s snowing outside and it’s hard to go out, why not try it yourself?
only……
"Mr. He, first of all, I admit that I do have some experience in electronic machinery, and I also know the structural principles of some equipment. If it is just a simple detector, I can really build it, but I can't be sure that the materials on site are complete. After all, Electronic equipment is different from wooden furniture. Because the internal components are often complicated, many parts need to be matched. This means that even though there are many parts on site, I still can’t guarantee that it will be successfully manufactured. I can only say that I will try my best.”
As mentioned above, after noticing He Fei's happy face, Will did not forget to tell the truth. After looking around at the sufficient on-site parts, he expressed his concerns in a professional tone, so he made it clear that he was just trying. After all, everyone knows that it is difficult for a clever woman to do anything. The truth is that no matter how knowledgeable or skilled you are, it will be useless if you don’t have materials. So Will himself didn’t know whether he could build a signal detector using the existing materials in the room.
As an aside, in fact, compared to making it yourself, it is undoubtedly easier to buy it, but the problem is that things like signal detectors, which tend to be military equipment, are so easy to buy? To put it another way, even if you can buy it in a big city, please don’t forget where this is? This is an inaccessible and remote plain, and the nearest city is hundreds of kilometers away. By the time you drive back to buy it, the day lilies will probably be cold, so you waste time looking for things that you are destined to not be able to buy, and use existing materials to make your own. On the contrary, it is more realistic.
"No problem, Mr. Will, you just need to do your best. If you can make it the best, I don't have any objection if you can't make it." Sure enough, seeing that Will agreed to try to make it, He Fei, who had been impatient for a long time, couldn't care less. success or failure? There is no doubt that for He Fei, who is currently extremely worried, in order to deal with the death signal, college students have resorted to all possible means. The so-called signal detection is just a temporary method that he came up with after entering the basement. It is a whim. , even if Will couldn't create it, the young man would still find other ways to deal with it. At this moment, facing Will's frustrations and worries, He Fei didn't care and directly expressed that he had no objection.
"In that case, then, let me give it a try."
Next, Will took action and began to rummage through many mechanical parts. As for He Fei...
Watching the man's busy movements, the college student walked towards the corner at the right time. At the same time, while the other man was just rummaging around, he reached into his pocket and took out the drawing paper. Then he lowered his head and looked at the strange picture that he had ignored recently because he was paying attention to the signal.
Can……
Just one night later, when the college student looked at the picture in his hand again, for some reason, He Fei, who had been so calm just now, suddenly widened his eyes and his expression changed drastically!
