"Is there a ghost in the sheriff?" Shen Xing muttered to himself.

He was a little puzzled, went back to the store to see the time, and it was almost closed, so he picked up a broom and swept the floor clean, and dragged it again.

After letting the air blow in the store for a while, I put the soon-to-be-finished "staircase and pool" wood carving into a cardboard box, picked it up with both hands and gently placed it outside the store, then turned off the lights and closed the door and left.

When she got home, Fei Fei just went home, and when she saw Shen Xing, she stuck out her tongue and asked playfully, "Teacher Zhu called you?" ”

"Hit." Shen Xing pretended not to be angry.

"Did she say you?" Fei Fei asked tentatively.

"Anyway, I can't let you stay up all night cultivating immortals." Shen Xing laughed.

Fei Fei laughed, went to the house to put down her small school bag, and began to do her homework.

After finishing her homework after a while, the girl changed into a pale yellow home clothes, went into the kitchen, and said, "Cook and eat early, go to bed early tonight, I want to sleep and make up for yesterday's sleep!" ”

Shen Xing rushed into the kitchen in front of the workbench listening to her talking to herself, and couldn't help but smile.

took out his mobile phone and opened the document that was automatically hidden by the black domain, Shen Xing thought about it, and named the new document "Dark Staircase".

The pool below the staircase was also part of the staircase, and the anomaly was mostly concentrated in the staircase, so he gave the anomaly a similar name as the text message that popped up in his head.

[Name: Dark Staircase.]

Type: Strange Things

Number: 05

Feature Description: The anomaly takes the form of a pitch-black staircase with a pool of water underneath it, which creates an anomaly in the staircase by releasing the anomaly to absorb fear. If a human enters it, it will hallucinate and produce something that makes it fearful, and the fear formed after encountering the horror will be absorbed by the pool of water below the staircase, which in turn will produce more fear representations, and the cycle will continue to grow the anomaly. And it seems, this thing lives by sucking fear.

Solution: By understanding its characteristics and locking it, the first method is to crack the illusion created by it and directly release the accumulated pool of fear water, the second method is to speculate that the characteristics reach 80% and then lock it, and the third method is to make a wood carving and lock it.

Intrinsic strength: Class C】

Because of the hidden function of the black domain now, Shen Xing has described all the ways to solve the anomaly, and he no longer worries about being discovered by the people of the special investigation team.

And the strength of the characteristics of this staircase is obviously stronger than the anomalies encountered so far.

The features it contains are primarily hallucinogenic and allow others to see something familiar to them but that has become scary, without knowing whether it is real or unreal.

None of the previous anomalies could do this, and if they were able to do this, at least the staircase would be stronger than the other anomalies.

So Shen Xing gave it a C grade.

Just as he was about to finish the wood carving of the dark staircase and absorb this anomalous property at night, Fei Fei heard a voice in the kitchen.

"Uncle Shen, the bean paste, the bean paste is gone, go downstairs and buy a bottle."

There was a sound of stir-frying in the kitchen, and a scene suddenly appeared in Shen Xing's mind of Fei Fei standing on a small wooden stool, holding a spatula in both hands, and the vegetables and meat in the pot were fried by her.

A smile appeared on his face, Fei Fei made up for his weaknesses and was responsible for cooking, and he was responsible for contracting all the other household chores in the house, and now this kind of life made the house more and more filled with a feeling called "home".

With a promise, Shen Xing got up and went out to go downstairs.

Douban sauce is in the small supermarket downstairs, you don't need to go to the back vegetable market, come to the small supermarket, it's almost time to eat, the owner of the supermarket is in his fifties, he is bald, Shen Xing knows, and everyone else calls him Jiang Bald.

"Uncle Bald, where is the bean paste?"

"Count the third shelf here, next to the dark soy sauce." Jiang Bald raised his head and pointed to the third shelf.

He was reading the newspaper and didn't get up to get it, but asked Shen Xing to find it himself.

Shen Xing walked to the third shelf, looked all the way, and soon saw where the soy sauce was placed, and then found four or five different brands of bean paste.

"Which bean paste tastes better?" As he watched, he asked Jiang Bald in a loud voice.

"It's delicious, and our family likes to eat this brand." Jiang Bald replied.

Shen Xing found the delicious bean paste, which is a small canned bean paste with a bright red outer packaging, the price is cheap, but the amount of this small canned is not very much, Shen Xing took a few more cans.

Came to the payment counter and put the bean paste on the counter, Shen Xing took out his mobile phone and was about to scan the code to pay, when he saw Jiang Bald put down the newspaper in his hand and began to scan the barcode of the bean paste.

Shen Xing glanced at the newspaper, it was the Yungu Evening News.

He suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Uncle Bald, can I read your evening newspaper?" ”

"What do you want to see?" Jiang Bald asked casually.

Shen Xing didn't answer, and simply asked directly: "You seem to be buying newspapers every day, I want to ask you, is there often a lack of a page in newspapers during this time?" ”

Jiang Bald scanned the bottle of bean paste in his hand, was stunned for a moment, and nodded: "It's not often, it's always been missing a version, it's been a long time." Well, it seems to have started in March of this year. ”

"I see." Shen Xing nodded, "Do you know what the reason is?" ”

Jiang Bald did not continue to scan the remaining bean paste, but entered and multiplied by five on the code scanner to directly get the total amount.

"At that time, a lot of people were talking about it, but later I learned that it seemed that there was a problem with the printing press of the Yungu Evening News. We don't understand, if the machine is broken, find someone to repair it, and if it can't be repaired, replace it, do they still lack this money? Well, it's 30 pieces in total. ”

Shen Xing scanned the code to pay and said, "As a result, the newspaper has not moved until now?" ”

Jiang Bald smiled helplessly: "I'm also quite speechless, but now I'm used to it, and those who often read newspapers know that as long as the newspapers published by Yungu Newspaper are empty on the sixth page." ”

After a pause, he laughed: "Now this has become their anti-counterfeiting mark." ”

Shen Xing also smiled, feeling a little strange, carrying the bean paste that Jiang Bald had put into a plastic bag for him, and left the supermarket and returned to the community.

After entering the house, he took out a bottle of bean paste, unscrewed the cap and put it in Fei Fei's hand, and then returned to the workbench.

Now that the dark staircase was almost complete, he put on his gloves, picked up the flat-cut knife and just fixed it slightly, and then began to wax it.

After half an hour of busy work, Fei Fei had already prepared the meal.

After coming out to eat, washing the dishes and tidying up the kitchen, Fei Fei had already climbed into his bed with the puzzle puzzle and played.

In her bedroom, Shen Xing was also inconvenient to absorb the characteristics of the dark staircase, and immediately made the third half-finished mask wood carving.

"Does the second uncle have to come when you're away?" Fei Fei asked while lying on the bed while making the puzzle.

"It should be, I'm not sure."

"I'll put this puzzle together first, and next time he comes, I'll have to show it off in front of him." Fei Fei Le said.

Shen Xing smiled and turned his head to look at her: "What?" Did you have a great time with your second uncle last time? I'm still looking forward to it! ”

Fei Fei said: "Actually, I was a little scared at the time, but after thinking about it carefully, the second uncle's performance was quite cute, and some of his actions, the more I think about it, the more funny I amuse." ”
