Chapter 188: Clear the Traces (Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass!) )
As the black shadow Yao Tong was sucked into the wood carving, the eerie feeling that this room, including this floor space, had been giving Shen Xing just now, was gone at this moment.
If you feel it carefully, this is an ordinary room, the only difference is that there are two dried corpses on the bed at the moment, and a girl with a calm face is lying on the ground.
Ah Chai stood behind Shen Xing, staring at the suspected Yao Tong wood carving in Shen Xing's hand with some horror.
Although he didn't understand exactly what was going on, he could vaguely guess that Shen Xing's means of recovering Yao Tong had a lot to do with this wood carving.
Thinking of this, Ah Chai unconsciously took a few steps back, and his eyes were occupied by a strong sense of fear when he looked at the wood carving.
From now on, he swore that he must stay away from Shen Xing's wood carving, which looked a hundred times more terrifying than Yao Tong chasing him with a kitchen knife!
The matter here is over, but Shen Xing has to clean up the follow-up.
He turned his head to look at Ah Chai, first surprised when this guy was so far away from him, and he seemed to be behind him just now, and then said, "You check this building to see if there are any other residents." ”
Ah Chai immediately wrote on the ground and replied that I had checked it just now, in the entire old building, except for the first floor, where there were merchants active during the day, and the Yao family who lived on the fourth floor, everyone else had moved out.
Shen Xing nodded, so things would be much easier.
"Can you remove my surveillance footage from this street?" He asked again.
Ah Chai nodded immediately.
"How long will it take to erase all traces of our visit to this room after removing it?" Shen Xing knew that this Ah Chai had a very strong ability to conceal and was good at doing this kind of work.
About half an hour or so.
Ah Chai's answer also made Shen Xing very satisfied.
"After erasing the traces here, you can use the method of dreaming to find a clever homeless man on the street, don't get drunk, and guide him into this old building." Shen Xing instructed, "You must let him see everything here, and then report it to the sheriff, and you can't leave until he reports to the sheriff." ”
Ah Chai nodded, probably knowing Shen Xing's intentions, and then drilled out of the crack in the window, and followed the line on the side of the street to clear the monitor that left Shen Xing's image.
Shen Xing looked at the time, it was less than four o'clock in the morning, and before dawn, it should be enough for Ah Chai to finish what he had entrusted to him.
He took a deep look at Yao Tong lying on the ground again, leaving aside the girl's emaciated figure after being tortured in the past few years, in fact, Yao Tong's facial features were not bad, with long eyelashes and slender fingers.
Retracted his gaze and looked at the wood carving in his hand, the wood carving showed a black shadow that only Shen Xing could see, exactly the same as Yao Tong lying on the ground, the difference was that the other party was black.
Because the split Yao Tong represents evil and has no room for recovery, in Shen Xing's gaze, the surface of this wood carving seems to be surrounded by a layer of black, revealing a sense of tearing, an uncertainty, and a factor that makes people feel faintly uneasy.
"I don't know if I can absorb this characteristic directly?" He hesitated.
Without touching anything else, he walked out of the room, down the stairs down the hallway to the street, and quickly crossed the street into the hotel.
After Achai cleans up all traces over there, the scene will not look like it has anything to do with anomalies.
Even if the sheriff receives a phone call, because through the investigation, it will be learned that Yao Tong of this family has a history of mental illness, so it will only be investigated as an ordinary case.
As long as there are no traces of anomalies in the house, the case will not be handed over to the special investigation team, and if the special investigation team does not come forward, it will not contact him.
It was Yao Tong herself, although she might wake up after a few hours of coma, but because she had no memories of the past, the sheriff would not have investigated anything from her.
But it is clear that the death of her parents has a lot to do with Yao Tong, so it is very likely that she will be imprisoned in a psychiatric hospital.
In the psychiatric hospital, it is just right for Yao Tong, who has lost his memory, to adjust his mood and recover slowly.
In the future, the sheriff will test her again and confirm that she has no symptoms of schizophrenia, and she may be discharged from the hospital.
Sitting in the hotel room, looking at the wood carving in front of me, this was originally the wood carving of Chong Po III, but it has completely become Yao Tong at this moment.
Looking at the calendar on my phone again, starting tomorrow, a new round of weekly kills will come.
Shen Xing couldn't help but smile helplessly.
Originally, he had a killer weapon to deal with the seed woman III, and now he has become Yao Tong, but he can't wait until he goes home to carve a seed woman wood carving, so he can't say that after leaving here tomorrow, he has to find a way to find a better piece of wood and make a seed woman III wood carving.
If he doesn't, he won't be able to feel at ease when the new round begins.
At this time, Shen Xing's black tendon protective film had receded, and he looked at the mirror in the bathroom to carefully check the injury on his chest.
At that time, after the dream, I immediately covered the wound on my chest with a black tendon protective film, and at this time, the protective film was dispersed, and although the wound was still there, it had healed, and the scarring step was skipped.
Looking at this unfinished cross pattern, Shen Xing was a little confused, not knowing what the meaning of Yao Tong's subconscious was to do this.
At this moment, he didn't feel anything unusual, the position of this chest was an ordinary knife wound.
In addition, he also took a look at the part of his arm that he had cut in his dream, and in reality there was a faint white mark left on the part, which may disappear completely tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so he didn't have any worries.
Taking off his clothes and taking a hot shower, Shen Xing walked out of the bathroom a little tired, put the clothes he was going to change tomorrow on the side of the bed, and then lay down.
At this moment, Ah Chai squeezed through the crack in the door and appeared in front of him.
"Did you handle it?" Shen Xing asked.
Ah Chai nodded, and wrote in front of his eyes that everything was dealt with, and I watched the homeless man run to the public phone booth on the side of the street to report the crime, and then left.
After answering, Ah Chai unconsciously glanced at Yao Tong's wood carving on the table not far away, obviously a little afraid.
Shen Xing noticed this scene and said, "I made those wood carvings to deal with other anomalies, you don't have to be afraid, and you will never see wood carvings exactly like you." ”
As the words fell, he took Ah Chai back into the card in his mind.
Speaking of which, if there is no Achai, who is good at the abnormality that appears in other people's dreams this time, I am afraid that I will suffer a big loss.
Even if Shen Xing can find out that he is in Yao Tong's dream later, injuries and even life-threatening situations may occur.
And Ah Chai is also a good hand at cleaning up traces, which can be used well in the future, looking at the instructions on the card, he has flashed back to this guy more than fifty times, so don't worry about not being able to use him for the time being.
While thinking, while staring at the dark night outside the window, when the patrol lights of the security vehicle were lit up downstairs, fatigue hit, and Shen Xing unconsciously closed his eyes.
I slept for more than five hours, and when I woke up, it was already dawn.
Because it was basically a deep sleep, Shen Xing felt in a good mental state after getting up from bed, and he didn't have the feeling of not sleeping enough.
He walked to the window, opened the curtains a little, and glanced downstairs across the street.
I found that there was a sheriff's car parked there next to the old building street opposite at the moment, but there was no flashing lights or honking.
The two sheriffs stood at the door of the small door leading to the interior of the building, chatting, probably in the early hours of the morning that the bodies of Yao Tong's parents had been removed for an autopsy.
And Yao Tong should have been sent to the hospital by ambulance.
Shen Xing packed his luggage, came to the first floor of the hotel to check out, and chatted with the waiter at the front desk at the door for a while.
This girl is quiet and dignified, very friendly, but it seems that she is a little sleepy, Shen Xing came and went twice last night, and saw her sleeping soundly at the front desk.
Now when I asked, I found out that she went to work alone yesterday, and everyone else took leave, and no one came to change the shift until this afternoon.
However, the monitoring of the hotel was also handled by Ah Chai, and I don't know what unconventional means he used.
From the mouth of the girl at the front desk, Shen Xing learned that she was also woken up by the sheriff's car that arrived last night, and ran out to watch the excitement for a while.
It was said that two people died in the old building opposite, and a neurotic girl was also dying and was taken to the hospital.
After learning what had happened, it was not much different from what Shen Xing had expected, and he quickly left the hotel.
However, from this time on, Shen Xing began to watch and listen to all directions again, not for anything else, but for fear that the handsome seed woman III would suddenly come.
"The one who faces the wall, the one who faces the wall, now I have to wait until I carve another wood carving of the seed woman before I can meet the person who faces the wall."
Shen Xing's plan was very clear, since the new weekly killing had begun, it was impossible for him not to make further preparations to defend the seed woman while preparing to deal with the wall-facing person.
But to be honest, after fighting with Yao Tong, an anomaly in the sequence chain, Shen Xing had already raised the vigilance in his heart to the highest level.
Therefore, before dealing with the wall-facing person, he felt that it was necessary to improve his strength again, such as absorbing the characteristics of Yao Tong's wood carving first.
went to the airport waiting hall and waited for an hour, and then Shen Xing queued up to get a boarding pass and get on the plane.
Not long after, the plane took off, left the big city of Heshan in Kuazhou, and headed for Jingzhou.
Jingzhou is one of the most prosperous states in all prefectures, and is in a leading position in urban construction and economic development.
According to the address provided by the "consultant" and the location of the wall-facing person in Shen Xing's comparison sequence board, the wall-facing person is displayed in Shicheng in Jingzhou.
Shicheng is one of the most remote cities in Jingzhou, and it is also considered the least economically developed city in Jingzhou.
However, in Shen Xing's opinion, even if this city can't be taken in Jingzhou, it is still more than one or two times better than the Yungu City of Kuazhou, where he is currently located.
One of the main reasons for the slow development of Shicheng is that the regional desertification here is serious, but in recent years, under the vigorous support and development of Jingzhou, a large number of green plants have appeared, the desert has been basically eliminated, and some places are still full of green trees, and the living environment and quality have been greatly improved.
Although it was the first time he came to Stone City, it gave Shen Xing the feeling of returning to Yungu City, but it was still much faster in terms of the construction and prosperity of the buildings.
After getting off the plane, Shen Xing stayed in a hotel outside the airport.
No matter what he does at the moment, he must be careful, and he will not let his guard down easily unless the weekly killing is over.
After staying in the hotel, Shen Xing didn't plan to go out again, and even if he ate, he ordered food and sent it directly to his room.
I checked the Internet with the hotel's computer and found the largest wood art market in Shicheng, which mainly sells and accepts customized wood furniture, all kinds of doors and windows, art decoration, wood carving and furnishings, etc., and also sells all kinds of low, medium and high-end wood.
Shen Xing thought that buying wood in this kind of place would have some guarantees compared to other places, so he picked a store that seemed to be good on the website, wrote down the phone number and called.
The other party said that there was a stock in the wood store he wanted, and then the two sides negotiated the price on the phone, and Shen Xing paid some more freight and asked the store to send the wood directly to the hotel.
Hanging up the phone, while waiting, Shen Xing tried to speak, as if talking to himself, "Consultant, are you there?" Can you hear me? ”
He asked this two or three times, during which time he stood up and walked around the hotel room.
When asked the fourth time, a line of text appeared on the carpet under his feet, which felt a bit like Achai squatting on the ground and writing.
It's just that Ah Chai's handwriting was written by himself, and he wrote it in a hurry, so the handwriting was ugly, while the handwriting that appeared on the "consultant" was an authentic print, which made people feel very comfortable to look at.
You've arrived in Stone City?
"Yes, at the hotel now." Shen Xing nodded, "I want to know, your request is for me to arrest the wall-facers." If I run into it, how do I catch it to meet your expectations? ”
Let its actions be restrained, and it will be captured. The advisor answered.
Shen Xing thought for a moment and took out the folded newspaper in his pocket, "If I use this newspaper you gave me to cover the body of the person facing the wall, does this meet the standard of him being trapped?" ”
Exactly, but only if you can cover it with newspaper.
Shen Xing nodded, knowing that although he said this, if he really wanted to cover this wall with a newspaper easily, there should be a small chance.
After all, the person facing the wall is not a stone, but will just squat there and wait for himself to cover it with a newspaper.
Thinking of this, he brought up the information about the wall-facing person in his mind and examined it carefully.
Name: Wall-facing man
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!
First of all, this guy's level may be the highest he has encountered except for the Seed Po III, which is a middle and high order.
Shen Xing is indeed not sure about this kind of abnormality, but if he is just trying to find a way to capture the other party, it is two words.
Moreover, he has to absorb Yao Tong's characteristics once, and he can also use the "one-third" space of the newspaper as a powerful auxiliary means.
Secondly, Shen Xing believes that as long as he sees the back of the person facing the wall, he will be targeted by the other party, and it should not be so unlucky that he will suffer at a glance.
Seeing here may require long-term attention, at least after actively noticing the back of the person facing the wall, there will be a bad situation. For example, being targeted by it like a shadow.
