Chapter 181: Yao Tong
[If you capture the wall-facing person for me, I can find Ye Ting's whereabouts again for you, and I don't need you to give me any feedback, I will make it up to you. 】
"Okay." Shen Xing nodded.
Since you give it away for nothing, the ghost doesn't want it.
Originally, he was still hesitating whether the second contract would allow the "consultant" to find out his identity, or continue to track down Ye Ting.
Now it seems that his identity may be related to Ye Ting's disappearance, if this is the case, then this seems to be two problems, but in the final analysis, it still points to the same problem.
The mystery of Shen Xing's identity and the mystery of Ye Ting's disappearance are both related to anomalies.
Although this "consultant" could sense Shen Xing's position, he didn't know what he was doing or what the result was, but could only understand it by showing text and asking questions.
This is the conclusion that Shen Xing can draw at present.
It shows that the "consultant" is not an information omnipotence, and it also has a place to be constrained.
Shen Xing booked a ticket back to Heshan City, Kuazhou, and left the hotel in the afternoon to go to the airport.
Arriving at Heshan City at seven o'clock in the evening, Shen Xing felt like a dusty man all the way.
And this week is about to pass, that is, he needs to face the coming of the next week's weekly killing.
After arriving at the hotel in the evening, I talked to Fei Fei on the phone and everything was normal over there.
Fei Fei and Erwu get along very happily, according to Fei Fei, except for not sleeping, Erwu looks no different from normal people in other places, and also eats, drinks, watches TV and plays puzzles.
However, he didn't touch the wood carvings that Shen Xing put on the workbench, and he didn't even look at them, as if these wood carvings didn't exist at all in his eyes.
That's fine, otherwise Shen Xing is still worried that he will have nothing to do to get a flat-mouth knife or an arc knife, and poke it twice on the wood carving work that he has already completed, and when he goes back, he will definitely beat this guy out of.
According to what Fei Fei said, the IQ of the second goods is indeed improving, and it can be seen from his playing puzzles that the version of the puzzle that Shen Xing bought for Fei Fei at the beginning was later given by Fei Fei to the second goods, and now it has been put together by the second goods.
Recently, he began to put together the 1024 pieces of the puzzle, although the degree of completion is still a lot worse, but he put it very hard and thought about it very carefully.
According to Fei Fei's guess, the second goods are like a child, from not knowing anything at the beginning, to now improving quickly, every time they meet, they will make themselves feel bright.
I believe that before long, he will become more powerful.
However, there is one point, even if the IQ of the second goods is improving, they don't seem to like to talk, they just do it silently, rarely communicate with people, and they don't take the initiative to communicate.
Shen Xing was also aware of these situations, but he felt that the second goods were good to Fei Fei from the heart, so he didn't feel abrupt.
Of course, vigilance against him is a must.
Sitting in one of the hotels in Heshan City, Shen Xing didn't go out, looking at the night outside the window, and staring down at the sequence board in his hand from time to time.
The sequence plate is uneven and shows a lot of graining.
The texture is mainly displayed in the way the map is displayed, and there is a deep ravine in the middle, which is the main chain of the γ-6 sequence, and there are five nodes on the chain, which extend out, and each node is surrounded by a map-like display map.
Shen Xing pressed his index finger on the fifth node at the moment, rubbed it gently, and next to his hand, he also put a city map of Heshan City.
According to this map of the city, the location of this fifth node is exactly the opposite direction seen through this hotel.
The high-rise building on the right is an office building, the one on the left is a supermarket chain, and the building in the middle is an old-fashioned residential building that is some years old, not a community, but a staff housing built by a unit decades ago.
Of course, the people who live here may have changed a long time ago, and they will no longer be those old workers.
This street is not the main street of the city, and the number of pedestrians on the road is not very large, but there was a sub-station of the bus station next door before, and then it was relocated, and now the hotel where Shen Xing lives is no longer in business, and it may be closed soon.
On the old residential building opposite, there are a few lights on at the moment, which looks sparse and sparse, and it feels like there are not many people living in it.
After a while, Shen Xing brought up the information about Yao Tong in his mind.
[Name: Yao Tong.]
Sequence Grade: Medium Sequence
Sequence Analogy: Category II
Sequence Source: Fear
Trigger: Mental torture
Description: She is in pain, needs to take medication for mental illness, and suppresses her schizophrenia. By the way, did you think she was a girl? No, it just looks a lot like a girl. 】
The original photo of Yao Tong is still there, this girl is about sixteen years old, her long hair is slightly yellow, and her hair looks a little oily, it seems that she has not washed it for a long time, and her gaze in the photo gives people a feeling of blank eyes.
Because the background in the photo is black, such a foil, when looking at this emaciated girl alone, it gives people an inexplicable sense of horror.
……
Dimly lit room.
A dim electric light hung down from the ceiling, windless and automatic, and was slowly shaking.
Everything in the room, under the light of this dim yellow light, became hazy, as if it had been covered with a layer of old color.
As the lights flickered, so did the other items in the room, giving the illusion that everything in the room was moving slowly.
A girl of about sixteen was sitting at a square table by the window of the room, dressed in a yellowed white dress, with drooping eyebrows and long greasy hair on her shoulders, staring at a simple music box on the table.
However, this music box has long been damaged and can no longer be turned.
It was a long time since autumn came, and the temperature in the room where the girl was was only about seventeen degrees Celsius, but she was only wearing this thin dress, which was short-sleeved, and her slender arms like tree branches were also exposed, but there was no sign of chills.
The girl stared at the music box for an unknown amount of time, when she could hear nothing from the street, despite the sound of cars passing by, the voices of passers-by, and other miscellaneous noises.
It seems that all the attention is focused on the music box.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and three knocks suddenly sounded.
At the moment of the knock on the door, the electric light wires that were shaking suddenly stopped, as if they had never moved, and the light and shadow of the shaking objects in the room returned to normal.
"Tongtong? Tong Tong opened the door. A woman's voice sounded, sounding like she was in her forties.
The girl withdrew her gaze from the music box, slowly raised her head, and looked at the door.
The room she was in at the moment was not a bedroom, but a separate room, and it seemed that she was alone in this room.
The person who listened to the knock on the door outside was her mother, Huang Guiping.
The girl stood up, looking very thin, as if she had been malnourished for a long time, and went to the door and opened it.
"Mom." She screamed, turned and sat down back at the square table.
Huang Guiping walked in with a bowl of steaming noodles and said, "Freshly cooked, ...... while it's hot."
Before he finished speaking, his eyes had already seen a bowl of untouched food on the square table, not far from the music box.
Huang Guiping sighed softly, "Why didn't you eat it?" ”
"Not hungry." Yao Tong's tone was calm, and his voice was very small, if it weren't for the silence in the room, he couldn't hear what she was saying at all.
Huang Guiping's eyes moved down, and she saw that her daughter was barefoot, not wearing slippers, and her thin feet were just stepping on the cold floor, and those feet seemed to be a little cold and blue.
She put the bowl of noodles on the square table, turned to look, and found that there were no slippers in the living room, and then walked in the direction of the bedroom.
When she just walked to the door of the bedroom, looking at the dark space inside without lights, Huang Guiping suddenly paused, stopped, and became a little hesitant.
The shadow and fear in her heart rose at this moment, and she took two steps forward again, always feeling that in the darkness of this bedroom, there was a person standing in it staring at her.
Standing at the door, he stretched out his hand and touched the light switch on the wall at the door, Huang Guiping quickly pressed the switch, the darkness in the bedroom disappeared, and the light turned on, but the light was still dim.
Huang Guiping still didn't rush in, but carefully looked at the corner of the bedroom, the other side of the bed, the side of the wardrobe, whether the curtains were raised, and then the back of the bedroom door.
After reading them all, she fixed her eyes on a pair of slippers that lay under the bed.
walked in quickly, bent down and grabbed the slippers, Huang Guiping was still afraid of something in the bedroom, turned around and walked out of the living room, not even turning off the lights.
Shortly after she took the slippers from under the bed, there was a faint rustling sound from under the bed, which was not audible if it were not in the bedroom.
At this moment, a pitch-black figure was lying under the bed, his legs straight, his hands were also vertical, like a mummy, motionless in an extremely strange posture, his head looking in the direction of the bedroom door.
After taking out the slippers, Huang Guiping immediately squatted down to put them on her daughter, and asked, "Did you take the medicine on time today?" ”
Yao Tong nodded.
Huang Guiping straightened up and pointed to the food that had been delivered earlier, "Then why don't you eat?" The medicine must be taken half an hour after a meal, and it cannot be taken on an empty stomach. ”
Yao Tong suddenly remembered something, his face became a little confused, he raised his head and looked at Huang Guiping, "Mom, I don't seem to have taken medicine." ”
"Ahh Huang Guiping suddenly subconsciously looked around her, and the palpitations and panic she had just now reappeared.
She hurriedly said, "Eat two bites of noodles, and I'll bring you the medicine." Eat! ”
Yao Tong reached out and grabbed the chopsticks, but it seemed that her fingers had no strength, and the chopsticks fell on the table, and she didn't pick them up, but directly grabbed a few noodles from the bowl with her hands and stuffed them into her mouth.
At the same time, her gaze was moving around, as if the room had become unsafe.
By the time Yao Tong stuffed the noodles into his mouth for the second time, Huang Guiping had already poured a glass of water and took the two white pills.
"The time has passed, take the medicine first, eat it and then eat."
Yao Tong looked up at her in surprise, "Didn't you take it half an hour after eating?" ”
"It's too late, you haven't taken any medicine today! Eat quickly, eat and eat. Huang Guiping urged, and then said: "Why did you catch it with your hands?" There are chopsticks here! ”
Yao Tong didn't speak, grabbed the pill with his oil-stained hand, and at the same time shook his head lightly twice, as if he wanted to shake out some unpleasant thought, and didn't want to think about it again.
"What are you thinking?" Huang Guiping was taken aback when she saw this, "Tong Tong, what are you thinking?" ”
"...... under the bed" Yao Tong's voice became smaller at this time, and said weakly: "Under the bed, is there anyone?" ”
As the words fell, she smiled self-deprecatingly, bared her yellowed teeth, and placed two pills in her mouth.
Huang Guiping was even more shocked, and immediately looked at the bedroom where the lights were not turned off, and from her, she could see the position of the bed in the bedroom, and saw that a figure seemed to be under the bed, and had crawled to the edge of the bottom of the bed, stretching out a pitch-black hand, trying to climb out.
The arm looked completely charred, stiff and unusually inflexible, and could not even see the five fingers clearly, as if it had condensed into a lump.
Handing over the water cup, Huang Guiping said, "Drink the water quickly and swallow the medicine." ”
Seeing that Yao Tong's throat moved after taking a sip of water, Huang Guiping immediately turned around and walked towards the door of the living room, not daring to look at the dark shadow that was crawling out in the bedroom.
As he walked, he said, "After taking the medicine, hurry up and eat the noodles, the bowl will be on the table, and my mother will come over tomorrow morning to clean up." ”
When I came to the door of the living room, I twisted the door open, and I heard Yao Tong behind me say, "By the way, there is a sister who comes to play with me." ”
The moment the door of the living room opened, Huang Guiping's body trembled suddenly, her face was frightened, she reached out to cover her mouth, and she didn't dare to move when she stood still.
I saw a girl standing outside the door wearing a black dress, almost the same as Yao Tong, this girl had the same shawl hair, and greasy, and the dress she was wearing was exactly the same as Yao Tong except for the color.
She stood in the doorway with her head bowed, and when the door was opened, she stepped inside.
was so frightened that Huang Guiping hurriedly dodged and didn't dare to approach her.
"Hee-hee-......" When the girl passed by Huang Guiping, she seemed to let out a laugh, but she didn't.
Huang Guiping didn't dare to turn her head to look again, so she quickly rushed out of the room and closed the door with her hand.
She knew very well that after her daughter took the medicine, she would have to wait for a while for the medicine to work. So it's only a matter of time before the black shadow under the bed and the girl in the black dress you just saw disappear.
His heart was beating like a drum, and he quickly returned to the house next door, where Huang Guiping lived, and Yao Tong was only separated by a wall.
At this moment, on the sofa at home here, there is a middle-aged man sitting, who is smoking a cigarette without saying a word, and he didn't even look up after Huang Guiping came in.
"Yao Jie, Tong Tong forgot to take the medicine just now." Huang Guiping said immediately after entering the house.
"Ahh Yao Jie raised his head and stared at her, "Did that happen?" ”
Huang Guiping nodded, sat down, and said with palpitations: "I let her take the medicine before she ran out quickly, scared me to death!" ”
Yao Jie pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, walked to the wall, and lay there listening to the movement next door.
Because the house is old, the sound insulation effect is not very good, sometimes they will hear Yao Tong talking or laughing here, but whenever the movement is a little bigger, they can hear it.
The house where Yao Tong lives next door is left by Yao Jie's father, who is Yao Tong's grandfather, and the father and son were originally in one unit and divided two houses in this building.
After Yao Tong's grandfather passed away, the house next door was owned by Yao Jie's family.
Later, after Yao Tong fell ill and became more and more weird, the couple who couldn't stand it discussed with Yao Tong, and the two decided to live separately.
At first, the family sought medical treatment everywhere, psychiatric doctors, private psychological clinics, brain hospitals, etc., and concluded that Yao Tong had schizophrenia, but it could not be treated at all.
The treatment was not effective, but made Yao Tong's condition also begin to worsen, and then finally found a pill called otonumab receptor, as long as he ate it, Yao Tong could last for about a day without getting sick.
And then things turned out to be the way they are now.
Because after Yao Tong's illness, the surrounding environment will also be abnormal, so the couple also considered finding a monk and Taoist priest to do the rituals.
However, the result of the practice was not much different from seeking medical treatment before, it was useless, and it would further stimulate Yao Tong's nerves, giving her more and irrepressible thoughts.
So Yao Jie and Huang Guiping no longer did these things that stimulated her, and just let Yao Tong stay quietly, but they didn't think about reporting to the sheriff.
After all, so far, the scope of Yao Tong's illness has not been large, it is only confined to the family, outsiders do not know, and it has never caused danger to others.
