Late at night.

Hotel Dolan 7088 rooms.

Shen Xing, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly felt hot, dreaming as if he was close to a huge stove, very hot.

Soon he opened his eyes, and it was dim, and the street outside the window was brightly lit, and although the curtains had been drawn, some light still entered the room.

As soon as he lifted the quilt covering his body, Shen Xing sat up and looked down, and there was a faint feeling of heat in his chest.

He pulled the collar lower, and saw that the place on his chest that had been cut by Yao Tong with a knife was now a disproportionate cross pattern glowing red, as if this piece of skin had been burned red by a soldering iron.

When he woke up, the reddish glow was fading, and the hot feeling he had just felt in his sleep was gradually disappearing.

However, Shen Xing had a bad premonition, originally he thought that the cross that had not yet been carved had gradually healed as Yao Tong's abnormal properties were absorbed.

I don't know why the wound suddenly appeared after I fell asleep, and there was a hot sensation.

This is most likely a bad signal for yourself.

Shen Xing got out of bed, put on his slippers and walked to the window, opened the curtains and stood there, looking at the street below.

Although it is already early in the morning, the streets here are still full of people, but most of them are young people, and there are countless food vendors on the street downstairs, which is extremely lively.

There are even hotly dressed young women who gather in the streets, smoking cigarettes and glancing at the passers-by from time to time, and if they meet one who is looking at them, they immediately flatter them.

Shen Xing turned his head to look, Ah Chai was sitting at the edge of the window, silently looking at the night view of the city in the distance alone, as if the noise downstairs had nothing to do with him.

Shen Xing touched his chest, and the part that was slightly raised and red just now had recovered as before, as if nothing had happened.

He looked at Achai again and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Ah Chai knew that Shen Xing had already gotten up, so he didn't look back, but stretched out his hand to write casually in the void in front of him, obviously he was already very familiar with communicating with Shen Xing in this way.

[I want to be alone.] 】

"Who do you think?"

[I don't know her name, I only know her breath, she is beautiful. 】

"What else can you like humans?" Shen Xing was a little surprised, "Did you become like this after you died?" ”

Ah Chai shook his head and wrote, "I'm not the ghost you say. For as long as I can remember, it has always been the way it is now, and it has never changed. 】

"Do you remember how you came to be in this world?" Shen Xing felt as if he had begun to explore the secret of the anomaly's origin at this moment.

But he knew it wouldn't be so easy to figure out.

Sure enough, Ah Chai shook his head again and continued to write, [I don't remember how I appeared, but I seem to have a father, and when I have a memory, I have this father in my memory. It's just that I've only seen him once. 】

Shen Xing was stunned for a moment, and secretly said that this guy's father might be an anomaly in the sequence chain.

For the abnormal father, it can only be said that Ah Chai may have been created by his father's anomaly, not necessarily born. Perhaps, his father has many children at the same time, and Achai is just a very ordinary one among them.

"What about your father?" Shen Xing asked.

[He hasn't been around for a long time, but he'll take half of the fear I've absorbed.] 】

Shen Xing was startled, turned his head to look around, and asked, "He will appear around you at any time?" And then take away the fear you absorbed? ”

[No, as soon as I absorb the fear points, they will automatically be reduced by half.] Well, I know it was taken by my father, and he has always been like this, never communicating with me, only taking it from me. 】

Shen Xing nodded and reminded, "If he comes one day, you have to tell me in advance." ”

Ah Chai was a little surprised and wrote, "Will you kill him? 】

Shen Xing smiled, "It's still unknown whether you can win or not, but it's ......"

He turned his head to look at Ah Chai sitting on the edge of the window, "Whether I am an enemy of him or not depends on your attitude." ”

Ah Chai nodded slightly in gratitude.

[I just know that I was born with a desire for fear, and I like humans who often emit fear, so I will always stay by their side.] And the girl I've been thinking about is a coward, so I kept pestering her at first. 】

Shen Xing looked at the words floating in the air, kept a smile on his face, and did not speak.

[Later, I found out that she was so cute, for example, when she saw a frog on the road, she would jump to her feet in fright and scream, which was louder than the frog's cry. When she falls asleep, if her fingers touch something furry, such as a teddy bear, she will wake up and kick the bear away. Her fear, for me, is different from everyone else, not only frightened and scared, but also reveals a gentle, mellow feeling. 】

"And then your attention from the fear was diverted and you started paying attention to the girl's every move?" Shen Xing smiled.

Ah Chai shook his head.

[No, I don't just pay attention to her every move, I pay attention to everything related to her, everything she touches, everyone she touches, everything she likes. And, I haven't absorbed her fears since. 】

"So what do you do? It's impossible not to suck, right? Shen Xing said.

So I shifted my target and decided to leave her. Because if you absorb someone's fear value for a long time, that person's spirit will disappear little by little, until you go insane. I've never let even a single person go insane in all this time. 】

"You're a good ...... Abnormal. Shen Xing nodded.

[But I must absorb a certain amount of fear on a regular basis, or I can sense that my father may kill me.] Ah Chai quickly wrote these words at this time.

Shen Xing thought for a moment and nodded, "Every once in a while, you can go out and absorb the fears of those people in your dreams, but the scope is only limited to the wicked, for example, you can choose to start from prison, or the people I appointed." ”

Chai nodded slowly again, a way for him to express his gratitude.

[Master, I can feel it, although you control me. But this sense of control is gradually decreasing with each passing day, and I can see that you are not a ruthless person, and that controlling me is not just to use me to serve you. 】

Regarding the matter of reducing control, Shen Xing knew very well that every time he flashed back Achai, the total number of flashbacks was decreasing, so naturally his sense of control over him was decreasing.

It's just that I didn't expect that Ah Chai's feeling turned out to be very sensitive.

Shen Xing smiled, "Actually, at the beginning, when I controlled you, I wanted you to do things for me. ”

[I thought so at first, but after experiencing Yao Tong's incident, I changed my opinion. Because I found out that you are really helping her, and not just thinking about destroying, destroying everything. 】

"Everyone is different, they are all individuals, and I am different from those people." Shen Xingdao.

"You mean the people who invited you to join them?" 】

When this sentence just appeared in the air in front of Shen Xing's eyes, a car slowly drove downstairs and stopped on the side of the street.

This area is mostly pedestrians at night, and it is rare to drive cars into this narrow road at this time, and it is not possible to park for a long time because it will block pedestrian traffic.

So when the car stopped on the side of the street and did not move, it immediately attracted the attention and dissatisfaction of some passers-by, and they gradually began to speak loudly one by one.

Shen Xing looked down and saw that no one came out after the car stopped, and the car didn't turn off, just turned on the headlights, as if waiting for someone.

After a while, the pedestrians began to point around the car, and some even came forward and tapped on the windows.

Looking from the roof of the car, Shen Xing felt that the body of this car seemed to be a little long, it should be a business vehicle, he turned his head to Ah Chai and said, "You go down and see what's going on?" ”

If it is a normal person, even if you park the car here and don't get off, you can't stand so many pedestrians pointing and pointing, if someone slaps the window in front of you, either the person will already drive away, or you just roll down the window and scold the past, it is rare to have this kind of silent reaction.

Ah Chai went directly into the crack in the window, quickly descended along the outer wall, and soon came to the window crack on the first floor.

But he didn't show up, just watching and listening to the conversation.

Staying in the hotel all the time, Shen Xing was already a little bored, and he didn't feel sleepy at this time, so he just lay down at the window, looking at the noisy crowd below.

The business car itself is very large, and stopping on this narrow and congested road has indeed affected the business of some vendors, and the people next to it have a tendency to get worse and worse.

Someone went to pull the car door, but the door was not locked from the inside, and as soon as it was opened, more and more people crowded to the driver's door, saying something excitedly inside.

But Shen Xing couldn't hear it clearly, but soon the voices of these people began to become smaller, and suddenly, the few people around the driver's position scattered in an uproar, looking at the driver's position one by one, terrified.

There were cries of surprise from the crowd, and the place suddenly attracted more people's attention.

Shen Xing was upstairs, and he couldn't see what was happening in the car, but seeing the reactions of these people, he expected that the situation would definitely not be simple.

He poked his head out and couldn't see Achai's dark shadow.

Just like that, two minutes later, during which I saw some onlookers take out their phones and start dialing, several loud people were talking, and they could faintly hear the words "ambulance" and "sheriff".

This time, Shen Xing was even more curious, not knowing what was going on below, could it be that the person in the car was injured, or was it ...... Wanted criminal, recognized by the crowd of onlookers?

At this moment, A Chai came out of the gap on the 7th floor of the window, and Achai's black shadow floated directly outside the window, supporting the outside window edge with one hand, and writing with the other hand [The driver of the car below is dead. 】

Shen Xing probably guessed that there were only a few results, and asked, "How did you die?" ”

He had just seen this business car drive over and stop steadily on the side of the road, how could he know that the driver died so quickly, and how long would it take for him to hold on?

Who knew that Achai shook his head quickly and continued to write, [It's been a long time since I died, and among the people who opened the cab door just now, someone touched the driver's hand and said that it was already cold and there was no temperature at all. 】

Shen Xing was stunned for a moment, and his brows suddenly furrowed.

"Are you sure that's what the man said? Has anyone else said anything? ”

[Yes, the second person also touched the driver's forehead and said that it was indeed cold skin, and then they started calling the sheriff and the ambulance.] 】

"Come in! Close the windows! Shen Xing's expression suddenly became stern, and he continued to ask, "Have you seen the driver's appearance before?" ”

Ah Chai recalled carefully, then shook his head, quickly entered the house, and did not go out again.

Shen Xing closed the window and closed the curtains, and the room fell into darkness, but the noise downstairs was still audible.

Shen Xing groaned slightly, and ordered: "Now go outside the corridor, hide near the staircase and the elevator room, and find something wrong, Brother Ang, immediately find a way to come and inform me." ”

Seeing that his expression suddenly became very serious, Ah Chai chuckled in his heart, didn't ask any more, and immediately walked to the door of the room, and was about to get out through the crack in the door, when he heard Shen Xing say again behind him: "Pay attention to your safety!" ”

Ah Chai turned around and nodded, and quickly disappeared through the crack in the door.

Shen Xing immediately took off the pajamas on his body, changed into casual clothes that were easy to move, put on socks and sneakers, sorted things out and put them in his backpack, inserted a telescopic stick on his waist, and put two pens in his trouser pocket.

After the commercial vehicle stopped on the side of the street just now, although no one got out of the car, it turned out that the driver had been dead for a long time.

It is impossible for a dead person to be able to drive and drive so steadily.

And now the man appeared to be dead for a while, that is, the anomaly that controlled him left.

Although I didn't see anything get out of the car, this anomaly was obviously very powerful, and there must be some means of action that ordinary people didn't know about.

And just now, his chest has been hot, this is left by Yao Tong, Yao Tong belongs to the last position in the sequence chain, and has been cleared by himself.

If what she left behind is still working, it may have something to do with the whole chain of sequences.

Shen Xing guessed that the pattern left by the blackened Yao Tong on his chest might be some kind of attraction or hint at other anomalies in the sequence chain.

And in this stone city, the abnormality that is in the same sequence chain as Yao Tong and can be felt, you can also know with your ass that there is only one person facing the wall.

So if there is an abnormality coming, the greatest chance may be that the person facing the wall is the deity.

This speculation seems to make sense. I didn't expect to go looking for it myself, but this guy actually came to the door first.

It's just that now Shen Xing is not completely ready, and he seems a little passive.

Taking advantage of the fact that he had discovered something strange earlier, and there was Achai watching outside, he immediately called up the information of the person facing the wall again and read it carefully.

[Name: Wall-facing person.]

Sequence Grade: Intermediate to High Sequence

Sequence Analogy: Category II

Sequence Source: Fear

Trigger: Extreme shame

Description: It is a complex of contradictions, longing for approval and afraid to meet anyone. It manifests differently each time, and once someone sees its current back, it will follow until the target changes to its preferred form. Remember, don't try to make it turn around, or you'll do it at your own risk! 】

"Don't try to make it turn around!" Shen Xing repeated.

He thinks this is very crucial, and the metaphor behind it is that once the person facing the wall turns around, it will be extremely difficult to deal with.

If you don't want it to turn around, the only possible thing to do is to try not to draw its attention and avoid any possibility of making a sound, touching or alarming it behind it.

Thinking of this, Shen Xing naturally came up with a way to deal with the people facing the wall in his mind, and the most effective of them was to activate the Black Domain and hide himself in another space.

It's just that the Black Domain can't be activated successfully every time, and it also depends on the chance, otherwise if he hides himself in this way every time he gets close to the anomaly, this skill will be his most rebellious skill.

Of course, there was one more thing he had to consider, and that was whether the Black Domain Emissary would appear.
