After the cat puppet said that he wanted to retrieve his clothes, he stopped talking, and Shen Xing did not speak.

This cat puppet was originally more evil before she was recovered, she could kill her kind, and take the other party's "skin" with her at all times to use, and she also abided by her own trading principles, and her ability to copy the puppet was extremely strong.

In a sense, her ability to make puppets is similar to Shen Xing's wood carving, except that Shen Xing is purely handmade, while cat puppets rely on her characteristics.

Nothing to say all the way.

After returning to the compound of the special investigation team in Ping'an City, Shen Xing got out of the car and looked back, the cat puppet had jumped off the roof of the car, but its hair was still fluffy and intact, without a trace of disorder.

Only then did Shen Xing realize that her dark domain was always shrouded in her, and if she didn't want to, the cat puppet wouldn't be affected by the wind at all.

After jumping out of the car, the cat puppet followed behind Shen Xing without saying a word, her pale cheeks on both sides, and her cheeks bulged slightly, giving people the feeling that she was still resentful for a while.

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, but after delivering Shen Xing, he went to the hospital to check on Yang Tian and the other sheriff in the sentry box.

After all, Yang Tian is now weak, and he is very worried about whether his team's life is in danger after suffering a large dose of anesthesia.

Shen Xing returned to his temporary residence, and the cat puppet followed in, skillfully jumped onto the chair, and squatted there.

After Shen Xing washed his hands and boiled himself a pot of hot water to prepare for tea, the mobile phone rang, and it was Xie Zongyu, who had just left, calling, saying that the wood he had selected would be sent soon, and he should receive it.

Shen Xing thanked him, took out the special cowhide roll that stored the carving knife in his backpack, and spread it on the table, revealing various models of carving knives.

He sighed slightly, and said to himself: "There are no labor-saving equipment such as electric tooth machines and lifting grinders, so 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 the softness of my finger bones, so the problem is not too big." ”

"How are you going to clean up that dry well?" The cat occasionally saw his preparation, and couldn't help but ask on the side.

Shen Xing didn't intend to hide it from her, anyway, he was his own person now, and there was no such thing as "anti-water".

"Carve an identical dry well, then contain it!"

"Can you let me nibble on it twice before containment?" The cat doll grinds its fangs.

"Has it changed since you chewed it?"

"At most, half of its characteristics will be lost, its strength is slightly stronger than that woman in black, and it can't die." The doll continues to grind its fangs.

"That's not going to work, half of the characteristics have been dropped, what am I still doing to contain him?" Shen Xing immediately shook his head.

"Then I'll just take one bite."

"Nope."

"Half a mouthful."

"How do you bite half a bite?"

"Just touch it." The upper and lower fangs of the cat doll touched slightly, and then grinned, looking sincere.

Shen Xing groaned slightly, but still shook his head: "In this way, I'll pick a brick from the inner wall of the dry well and give it to you to gnaw." ”

"You're boring!"

The cat puppet turned aggrievedly to the side, and a white velvet tail came out from under the trouser leg of the left shorts, and quickly rolled up, and she stretched out her hands to hold the big tail, and stopped talking angrily.

Shen Xing didn't know that this guy originally had a tail, and he usually hid it, but he inadvertently revealed it 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, and didn't even look at him.

Shen Xing smiled dumbly and stopped talking.

About half an hour later, the timber was delivered to your door by a tricycle with the name of the lumber shop written next to the tricycle, which was supposed to be the lumber market from which it was delivered.

Shen Xing didn't ask much, and he didn't pay after signing for it, because Xie Zongyu had already paid in advance.

Brought the cypress wood taken 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 leaned over to the roots of the cypress tree, and carefully observed the condition of the wood, which was not exactly close to the roots, the upper and lower cross-sections were almost the same, and the area below was slightly larger.

Moreover, the whole piece of wood has obviously been trimmed in advance, and it looks much smoother than the log, and when you get closer, you can smell a faint aroma of cypress, which makes people feel relaxed.

Normally, cypress wood is smooth, like human skin, and has a delicate texture and a hard texture.

The characteristic of cypress is that there are many boils, but this just proves that the wood of cypress is of high quality, but it is more expensive to have more boils, and it is even more difficult to find cypress wood full of boils.

This piece of cypress also has boils, but not a lot, so it is not a rare kind, but for Shen Xing, it is already very ideal to carve a dry well with it.

It's just that at present, I have to do it all by hand, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, so I can't be in a hurry.

He held a 0.8cm broad-bladed flat-edged knife, stared at this piece of cypress for a long time, walked over and over, observed from different angles, and half an hour passed, but he never moved the knife.

"Are you going to use this wood alive into a dry well?" The cat puppet suddenly spoke on the side, "Or have you always just carved with your eyes?" ”

Shen Xing didn't pay attention to her, but rubbed his chin with his left hand, gently twisted a few stubbles with his index finger and thumb, and thought silently.

In fact, he is suddenly a little uncertain now, the dry well is the abnormal appearance, this appearance is very ordinary, it can be said that there are many dry wells like this in Jingzhou.

The dry well was carved out, but it only imitated the shape, but it could not achieve the effect of spiritual energy. When I carved these abnormalities in the past, I often experienced or intuitively felt them, and I was able to imitate this characteristic into the wood carving when carving.

Now, if he just carved a dry well, he wondered if he would be able to absorb the anomaly.

"What's missing?" Shen Xing muttered to himself.

"What's missing?" The cat doll asked curiously.

Shen Xing didn't look back, and replied softly: "If you want to carve that guy, I always feel that something is missing." ”

"I almost got that bite." The cat doll cautioned it.

Shen Xing was stunned for a moment, looked back at her, and repeated, "You bitten you?" ”

He seemed to remember something, and asked, "If you were asked to bite it, what would you bite?" Is it really biting on bricks? Or biting the stench of the well, or the darkness, or something? ”

The cat puppet replied without thinking about it: "Of course, it is the illusory body condensed in the well by the entity that bites him, that is its core, once it bites and bursts one, it will be a heavy blow to it." ”

Shen Xing nodded quickly, and suddenly realized: "That's the difference!" ”

Immediately stunned, stared at the cat puppet and said, "It turns out that your gentle bite is still aimed at exploding that guy's illusory body and severely damaging it!" ”

The cat doll suddenly cocked its tail and blocked her entire face, but in fact, her face was terrifyingly white, and there was no blush at all.

After some conversation, Shen Xing determined where the center of gravity of the carving was.

He went to the office building of the special investigation team in front of his residence, and asked an office worker in the administrative office to print out all the photos about the dry well on his mobile phone in high-definition color.

A total of more than 40 shots were played, and different angles were perfectly covered.

Holding a stack of photos, Shen Xing returned to his residence again, and when he entered the house, he found that the cat puppet was no longer here, and he didn't know where to go.

However, Jing Jing sensed that she did not go far, but wandered around, so he stopped caring about her.

Laying the photo aside, Shen Xing began to carve the shape of the dry well little by little.

An anomaly like this kind of appearance, Shen Xing's previous definition would classify it as a "strange thing", just like the wardrobe, which also belongs to a strange thing.

He knew, however, that this was just a generalization of his own purely physical senses, and that it might be far from the actual properties 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.

With the help of no electric tools, the carving work at this time is more difficult, because in fact, the masonry and cracks in the appearance of the dry well are regular, basically relatively neat, if you use electric tools, it will save a lot of time and effort.

But now he can't buy power tools that are easy to use for a while, but relies on pure handwork, and Shen Xing must be sure to perfectly restore the appearance of the dry well.

He did it very carefully, cutting the outer skin of the wood little by little, and the weight of his hands was very good, in which the finger bones were ten times softer and played a great role, whether it was an arc knife or a flat knife, no matter how big the knife was, between his fingers it was like a butterfly interspersed, and it was very smart.

I don't know how long it took, during which a staff member of the special investigation team came to ask him to eat, but Shen Xing didn't hear it.

The man saw that he was very engaged outside the window, and he didn't knock on the door to disturb, but went back to ask the cafeteria to leave some food, and then help Shen Xing warm it up later.

During this period, the door of the room was also opened, and the cat puppet walked in slowly on tiptoe for fear of making a noise to Shen Xing, and did not go out after closing the door.

She could actually pass through the wall directly, but in order to avoid startling Shen Xing and affecting the operation in her hands, she entered like an ordinary person.

Shen Xing noticed that the cat puppet had entered the house, and he didn't have time to pay attention to it, so he continued to work.

After a while, the cat puppet walked to the side with great interest and watched, without saying a word, his eyes followed Shen Xing's carving knife, and his hands were held in front of his chest, watching with relish.

In the process of carving, Shen Xing just felt that whether it was a flat-edged knife or an arc knife, the more he used it, the more he used it, the more he used it, it was a hundred times easier to use than when he used the black dagger as a sharp weapon.

He couldn't help but have the slightest thought of changing the dagger as a weapon to a carving knife.

After all, this thing is the guy who eats by himself, and it's normal to use it more easily than other knives, and if he wants to go out, the guy who eats must bring it, and it's just easy to use to deal with abnormalities.

With this idea in mind, Shen Xing decided that in the future, his melee weapon would use a carving knife, and nothing else.

If you inject memes into the carving knife, it may feel even better to use, and it may even be faster when engraving.

It's just that if you inject 1 point of meme value into the carving knife in your hand now, Shen Xing thought about it and gave up this idea, after all, he didn't get much memetic value now, and it wasn't troublesome to carve a dry well, it was just a little time-consuming.

Consuming 1 meme value in order to make dry well wood carvings in a hurry has a feeling that the gains outweigh the losses.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Xie Zongyu came back from the hospital and saw that the light in Shen Xing's room was still on, so he came over to take a look.

At this time, Shen Xing happened to be in the middle of the break, boiled some hot water and drank it slowly.

Xie Zongyu glanced at the half-finished wood carving, and knew that Shen Xing was extremely obsessed with this aspect, and 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, and after asking, he found that Shen Xing hadn't eaten yet, but at this moment the canteen chef was already resting.

Xie Zongyu called and ordered two takeaways, added some barbecue, and soon a takeaway brother delivered them.

The two chatted while eating, Xie Zongyu talked about Yang Tian's situation in the hospital by the way, the guy's body was stable, there was no danger, and taking advantage of Yang Tian's entry into the hospital, Xie Zongyu had persuaded his family to let the hospital transplant him with a left lung.

It is said that there should be a matching left lung in the Shengjing City Human Organ Reserve Bank in Gyeongju, and if it is fast, the transplant operation can be carried out tomorrow night.

In other words, Yang Tian even saved the anesthetic, and while he was still in a coma under strong anesthesia, he directly performed the transplant operation, and returned him a healthy body after waking up.

After eating a supper for more than an hour, when it was almost one o'clock in the morning, Xie Zongyu drank some wine, prepared to go back to sleep, and asked Shen Xing, "Do you still want to continue doing this?" ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the half-finished wood carving.

Shen Xing didn't drink, just to continue working later, nodded and said: "Do it for a while, but I can't finish carving it today, this dry well rock wall has a complex structure and many textures, so it must be finely polished." ”

"This is the spirit of craftsmanship!" Xie Zongyu gave him a thumbs up, and then burped.

He got up and left with the garbage he had left.

Shen Xing soon continued to work, starting at one o'clock in the morning and continuing until half past three in the morning, and he couldn't stay up at the moment.

Drowsiness hit, so 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. And after Shen Xing continued to carve with a knife, the cat puppet returned again, and she didn't have to eat or sleep, she kept watching.

At this time, when I saw the dry well wood carving on the table, which already had eighty percent shape, the cat puppet's eyebrows jumped excitedly: "Like, too similar!" It makes my teeth tickle! ”

Shen Xing warned, "If you dare to leave a tooth mark on this, I will consider keeping you in the card and not having to come out again." ”

The cat doll blinked, turned its head, and quickly took a large pillow towel from the bed, and backhanded the pillow towel over the dry well wood carving that she longed to bite into.

"That shouldn't be the case, uh-"

A mouthful of hawl was sucked back by her at the same time.
