Chapter 219: Alive?
For the situation that the different pupils often do not work, or the abnormality cannot be detected, Shen Xing has actually had some guesses for a long time.
In fact, this is not so much related to whether or not one's anomalous pupil can work, but to the characteristics of the anomaly itself.
For example, if an anomalous feature is always presented, no matter what time it is observed, the characteristic will appear, and the abnormal pupil can easily see and distinguish that it is an anomaly.
And if an anomaly does not manifest all the time, but only appears under certain circumstances and conditions, or at its own will, there is no way to detect the anomaly at this time.
Because the abnormal pupil finds an abnormality, it is based on the revelation of the other party's characteristics.
It's like Yao Tong, in normal times, she is just a schizophrenic patient, her dark abnormality stays in a dream, and the abnormal pupils at this time can't be found.
And like the anomaly of the fake Hong Bin, this guy is an imitator of the real Hong Bin, and his own existence is in the form of abnormal characteristics, so if you observe it with a different pupil, you can see it accurately.
So now, although Shen Xing glanced at the boy puppet with a different pupil and didn't see the red aura, it only means that the current puppet is not suspicious, but it is not the final result.
After closing the different pupils, Shen Xing went to Fei Fei's bedroom, closed her door, and then entered his bedroom and closed the door, but he didn't lock it.
In this way, no matter whether there is a problem with the boy's puppet or not, he can have peace of mind.
……
Same evening.
It's ten past three in the morning.
In the duplex house on the 37th floor of Yongjian Building, the whole house was quiet, and the room was dark, except for some faint light coming from the window in the living room.
During the day, after the workers sent Xia Hongyu's custom-made wooden bed, Xia Hongyu opened the door of the storage room, checked the dummy, and found that there was nothing unusual, and the surface of the dummy was not bitten by the golden retriever, so she asked the workers to carry the dummy to her own showroom on the second floor.
In this delicate and small showroom, there are not only miniature versions of various medical devices for sale, but also various medical books? and some of your favorite and favorite items.
What about the pupil wood carving that I bought in Shen Xing's store last time? Just put it in it.
As for the wood carving of the face wall man that I just got back, it was not put in because it was ventilated and static outside? Instead, it is still placed in the window of the living room on the first floor.
Last dummy move event? After the sheriff's later judgment, it should be caused by the Golden Retriever? Because canine tooth marks were found on the dummy's clothes.
Although the clothes were not torn, and the skin of the dummy was not bitten? But saliva on the dummy's face? As well as the canine teeth on the surface of the clothes, it can be shown that the golden retriever did drag the dummy.
It's just that in the end, Xia Hongyu said that she saw the dummy moving inward at the door of the storage room, but the golden retriever at that time was behind her, and later analyzed that the dummy did not completely fall to the ground at that time? Part of it hung on the door? And when Xia Hongyu saw it, the hanging part happened to fall, causing it to move a little inside the door.
Later, the sheriff also made a point to check the dummy itself, and found nothing unusual.
But Rao is like this, Xia Hongyu still closes the door of the storage room? Until the workers brought in the wooden beds they had ordered and put them in the showroom? Only then did the storage compartment open.
Thinking that he should be suspicious, the two workers put the dummy flat on the wooden bed? One of them was curious and asked a few more questions, and Xia Hongyu also patiently explained.
After dinner? She also went to the showroom? Open a book on anatomy? Some internal organs were taken out of the dummy's body and carefully studied them.
This feeling reminded her of her early days in medical school.
To tell the truth, Xia Hongyu herself is actually quite bold, when she practiced her courage for the first time, she ordered barbecued pork rice with her classmates outside the dissection room, and formalin mixed with the taste of barbecued pork rice, which she still remembers vividly.
After studying for more than an hour, she put all the internal organs back in their original form and covered the skin on the dummy's stomach.
But this time, Xia Hongyu didn't put anything on this dummy's body, just let him lie on the wooden bed so upright, he could see at a glance that it was a dummy, so that there would be no other infiltrating thoughts.
After the workout, she went to bed early to prepare for a business trip to Heshan City with the company's people tomorrow.
This night, I slept until 3:10 in the morning and suddenly woke up.
There was a slight knocking sound next door, intermittently, and it was this sound that woke Xia Hongyu up.
After she sobered up, she was slightly stunned, because next door to her bedroom was the showroom, and the intermittent beating sound at the moment came from the showroom.
Not only that, Xia Hongyu also heard a whimpering sound, which came from the golden retriever, and that guy usually made this kind of sound.
When he came out of the showroom, although the door was closed, he didn't lock it, so the golden retriever was still able to open it.
Xia Hongyu sat up from the bed with some annoyance, scratched her hair that was a little unkempt from sleep, put on her slippers and got out of bed.
Just as I was about to turn on the bedside light, I suddenly heard a noise in the corridor outside the bedroom, as if someone was walking, but it didn't look like it when I listened closely.
She didn't turn on the light, but immediately went to the closed bedroom door, and through the gap under the door, she could see that the sensor light in the hallway was on at the moment.
Xia Hongyu didn't open the bedroom door for the time being, but squatted down and looked at the gap under the bedroom door.
At this moment, the sound reappeared, a bit like footsteps, a bit like the sound of dragging, in short, it was impossible to distinguish carefully.
Xia Hongyu's heart jumped suddenly for no reason, and her skin was covered with goosebumps, she didn't make a sound, and she didn't make any other movements, just staring at the corridor light coming in through the gap under the door.
After a while, the sound died down, and the sensor lights outside the hallway quickly went out and stopped illuminating.
Xia Hongyu could still feel her heart beating faster, and it took her a while to ease up, slowly stood up, walked back to the bedside table, took out the anti-wolf shock device from it, and held it in her hand.
Then he put the phone in the pocket of his pajamas, then turned around and came to the bedroom door again, opened the door and walked out.
She hadn't noticed that the staccato banging next door had stopped since she got up.
The sensor light outside the corridor immediately lit up, and Xia Hongyu looked around the corridor cautiously, but did not see anything abnormal.
She squeezed the anti-wolf electric shock device in her hand tightly, and glanced at the door of the showroom next door, and sure enough, it was open, but there was no light inside at this time, and it was not clear what the situation was in the hazy darkness.
She stood at the door of the showroom, wanting to call "Mao Mao", but hesitated for a moment, but still did not make a sound.
Turning his head to look in the direction of the staircase leading to the first floor, it was quiet, and I didn't hear anything downstairs.
Retracting her gaze and looking at the showroom room in front of her again, Xia Hongyu reached in and turned on the electric light in the room.
I saw that the wooden bed in the middle of the showroom was empty at the moment, and the dummy was gone!
Xia Hongyu seriously recalled the strange sound from the corridor she heard just now, not like footsteps, but it should be the sound of something dragging around.
Thinking about it this way, could it be that the dummy was dragged away by the golden retriever with his clothes in his mouth?
It seems that it was a mistake to choose to buy this dummy back, and the Golden Retriever seems to be more interested in this guy than he is in it.
After a closer look in the showroom, there was indeed no trace of the dummy, it should have been dragged out just now, maybe it was already downstairs.
Thinking of this, Xia Hongyu felt speechless, and came to the staircase to look down, it was dark below, and she couldn't see clearly, and the bottom of the stairs was even darker.
She turned on the electric light at the staircase, and walked all the way, without seeing the shadow of the dummy, and looked under the staircase on the first floor, where a cat meow came from the cattery.
Usually when the big girl hears someone coming downstairs, she will scream, which is regarded as a greeting or a reminder to the person who came downstairs that it is now in the nest.
And looking at the golden retriever's kennel again, a golden tail is half exposed outside, and it is obvious that the golden retriever is also in the kennel.
This cat and dog are all in their nests, could it be that the golden retriever dragged the dummy down so quickly and threw it somewhere?
Could it be that this guy didn't go upstairs at all? No way.
Xia Hongyu turned on the light in the living room, glanced at the ground in the direction of the kitchen and the door of the living room, and saw nothing.
When she turned around and faced the direction of the couch and the window, she froze, her eyes wide and staring ahead.
I saw the dummy standing on one side of the sofa with his back to him, facing the window, as if he was watching the night scene outside the window.
This scene startled Xia Hongyu, and her eyes immediately focused on the dummy's legs.
The legs of this dummy are also designed to be supported by leg bones, but the leg bones are imitation, not as hard as expected, but if you just support your own body, it is not a big problem.
After reacting, Xia Hongyu immediately looked to see if there was anyone hiding around the dummy, otherwise it would be impossible for the dummy to stand up on his own.
I didn't see anything, Xia Hongyu already had a feeling of numbness on her scalp, she stared at the back of the dummy, she didn't dare to make a sound, but she felt that the dummy seemed to be panting, her body was slightly undulating, and she didn't know if it was her own illusion or a real scene.
Now she can't think normally.
At this time, the big girl and Mao Mao are already in their own nests, and it is normal for the big girls not to appear, but usually if Xia Hongyu comes to the first floor at this time, the golden retriever will not stay in the kennel, but will already run out and shake her head and tail.
Now, it seems to be very unusual.
Xia Hongyu held the anti-wolf electric shock device in her hand, because of nervousness in her heart, her fingers unconsciously pressed a little harder, pressed the button of the electric shocker, and made a crackling electric shock.
She shuddered with fright, and now let alone approaching the standing dummy, even if she didn't have the courage to stay in the living room anymore, she suddenly turned around and ran quickly up the stairs.
Running a little harder, the slipper on his right foot flew directly to the bottom of the stairs, and he couldn't care about anything, Xia Hongyu quickly returned to the bedroom, slammed the door shut, quickly locked the door, and unsafely pressed the door against it with his back, for fear that it would be opened.
Gasping for breath, Xia Hongyu felt a layer of cold sweat already appearing on her back, forehead and palms, her heart was beating faster at the moment, her breathing was short, and she could no longer think normally.
After a while, I suddenly began to worry about the cat and dog that were still in the nest at the moment.
If the dummy could move, would it hurt them?
Not long after this thought arose, a sound of walking sounded at the staircase on the second floor, and someone was going upstairs.
This voice Xia Hongyu heard very clearly because she had put all her attention outside, from far to near, and the footsteps were very slow, but she kept walking, gradually getting closer to this direction.
At this time, her heart was in her throat, and she felt that it was difficult to breathe, and it seemed that her heart was no longer beating.
It's the footsteps of people, not dogs, not from any animal, but people walking around!
The footsteps didn't stop, and when they passed outside the bedroom door, they walked straight over, and they sounded in the innermost part of the corridor, and there was a bedroom in that direction, but it was used as a guest room, and no one slept in it.
Xia Hongyu hid behind the bedroom door, listening to the footsteps and walked over, she was so frightened that she slowly squatted down, but her back was still against the bedroom door, just motionless.
Now she couldn't imagine anyone out there other than the dummy.
She could imagine the dummy's appearance when he walked, his expression was stiff, his limbs were stiff, and he couldn't even bend his feet when he walked, and the situation was strange and terrifying.
The footsteps walked past and never seemed to return.
Xia Hongyu didn't know when she had changed from a squatting position to a sitting position, sitting directly on the floor behind the door, her back against the door, and she wanted to take out her mobile phone to call the sheriff.
But I was afraid that if I encountered the situation last time, I might actually be hallucinating, and the dummy had not moved at all.
"Could it be because I've been too tired and nervous lately?" Xia Hongyu's random speculation.
How else would a dummy walk? That's not a ghost! It's not a youkai!
Her head was a mess, and she felt dizzy, but she never heard footsteps outside the hallway, as if what had just happened was a hallucination.
Gradually, Xia Hongyu, who was sitting on the ground with her back against the door, felt confused, her eyes closed, and she fell asleep directly because she was too frightened and slowly relaxed.
……
It's getting dark.
The melodious alarm of the mobile phone woke Shen Xing up from sleep.
Shen Xing stretched his waist, slowly opened his eyes, reached over, and turned off the alarm.
Listening with her ears pricked up, Fei Fei, who has her own biological clock at this time, usually got up on her own and was washing in the bathroom, and she could hear the sound of washing.
But Shen Xing listened for a moment and didn't hear anything.
"Could it be that this little girl's biological clock is not working?"
Shen Xing pursed his lips and smiled, he could imagine how busy Fei Fei looked after he went over to wake her up.
After getting up, he opened the bedroom door, and then Shen Xing was stunned, and saw that Fei Fei had already gotten up, and was standing in the living room at the moment, facing himself sideways, facing the direction of the sofa, staring at something without blinking.
He stepped out of the bedroom, turned his head to look, and saw that the boy puppet who was sitting on the sofa with a pillow towel on his head was standing at the moment, and facing this direction, almost keeping eye contact with Fei Fei.
Fei Fei seemed to be very calm, not showing that she was very scared, but her voice inevitably revealed horror, and said, "Uncle Shen, as soon as I came out, I found that he was standing, did you touch him last night?" ”
"Nope." Shen Xing shook his head.
