All this happened too quickly, from when Shen Congwen turned and turned his back to this side, it only took a few seconds for him to enter the gate.
The weird scene appeared too suddenly and in a hurry, so that Shen Xing couldn't write down the whole picture of the person in a short time, and carve out an identical wooden sculpture.
But he was sure that what he saw was definitely the person hanging upside down in Lelekou.
After Shen Congwen's figure disappeared at the gate, Shen Xing looked at Lele, who was squatting next to him, and asked: "Lele, did you find anything wrong when the uncle turned around just now?"
Lele shook her head: "No."
It seems that the scene just now was just after Shen Xing's causal isolation, the accidental leakage of the characteristics of the crying person did not form a picture that Lele could see.
So Lele couldn't see it, but she saw it through different pupils and abnormal perception.
Now it is finally certain that Shen Congwen has a relationship with "who he is", or that Shen Congwen is "who he is", which requires further investigation.
Shen Xing pondered for a moment and called Ren Guangming.
Ren Guangming had been on standby at the police station on the street, and soon answered the phone. After hearing that Shen Xing had discovered the suspected target, he was refreshed and soon came quietly with three sheriffs.
One of the sheriffs dressed in plain clothes. After entering the "Sunny Sky and Sunset" B&B, he calmly checked the room where Shen Congwen was staying, and then counted how many people were staying in the B&B at the moment.
In order not to get rid of the trouble, they call other tourists who are already in the room every five minutes in the form of telephone notifications at the front desk, and ask them all to come to the front desk to re-register for a certain procedure.
Half an hour later, these tourists in the "clear sky and sunset" were emptied.
Then Ren Guangming summoned the shop owner, and Shen Xing glanced at it, and he was really the middle-aged man who stood with Shen Congwen at the gate just now.
This middle-aged man had something important to rush back to the city, but he was called back by the sheriff halfway through.
Shen Xing and Ren Guangming found a temporarily vacated local residential house and asked the middle-aged man about Shen Congwen's situation.
The middle-aged man was frightened at first, thinking that something had happened in his store, but now that he heard that it had nothing to do with him, he immediately knew that he could talk about everything.
According to him, Shen Congwen would come to play near Sunset Mountain once a year, and if he wanted to stay, he would be in his store.
He listened to Shen Congwen himself saying that he was in the decoration material business. Usually the business is mostly in Pingzhou, and occasionally he has some business dealings with other states. Overall it is good, a small boss.
Although the middle-aged shopkeeper did not dare to ask them why they were investigating Shen Congwen, he was already wondering if Shen Congwen's business was illegal and had been targeted by the sheriff.
After the inquiry, Ren Guangming warned the middle-aged shopkeeper not to disclose any wind, otherwise his "Clear Sky and Sunset" B&B was immediately sealed up and he would no longer be able to do business in the area of Sunset Mountain.
The middle-aged shopkeeper still had this compulsion in his heart. He nodded as if smashing garlic, and made a very cooperative promise, and he also pushed the urgent matter in the city to the people under his staff to take care of it. .
After arranging everything, the sheriff who had been secretly investigating in the hotel reported that Shen Congwen had closed the door since entering the room and never came out.
Shen Xing immediately took Lele to look at all the rooms on the first floor of the homestay, and found no abnormalities, and then checked all the rooms on the second floor that were far from Shen Congwen's room.
In the end, only Shen Congwen and the guest rooms on his left and right were left unattended. Because the distance was too close, Shen Xing worried that the other party would notice something during the inspection.
He asked Lele to stay with Ren Guangming and stay with the two sheriffs at the front desk of the hotel, and the front desk staff had already evacuated in advance.
Then Shen Xing walked to Shen Congwen's room alone. He didn't go empty-handed. Instead, he bought some stewed meat and fried peanuts, and also brought a bottle of local famous white wine—Sunset Sanbai.
It was already ten o'clock in the night, deliberately walked out of footsteps, came to the door of Shen Congwen's room and stood still.
Shen Xing cleared his throat and knocked on the door: "Brother Shen, I am Shen Xing, am I?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as the voice fell, there was already a surprised voice: "Yo, Shen Xing is here, welcome, welcome..."
While talking, opening the door, Shen Congwen was wearing a set of black pajamas at the moment. The cloth looked silky and of good quality. His hair was still wet. It seemed that he had just finished taking a shower and was wiping his head.
"I just finished taking a shower." Shen Congwen said in surprise, and then looked at the things Shen Xing was holding, "You are..."
"Come here to accompany you for a drink and chat." Shen Xing smiled and raised what was in his hand.
"You're polite, brother die." Shen Congwen smiled and did not refuse, immediately turned to the bathroom, and said in his mouth: "When I get my hair clean, you are welcome, just sit down."
Shen Xing took the opportunity to take a closer look at his back, and he could no longer see the appearance of the crying person just now, and it could be seen that the other party's special characteristics had long been hidden again.
When Shen Congwen came out of the bathroom, Shen Xing had found two clean cups, poured the wine, opened the dishes for drinking, and prepared disposable chopsticks.
Shen Congwen even bends the corners of his eyes into crescents, and smiles: "You come out now, where is your friend's child?"
"I just helped take it for a day, it has been handed over to them." Shen Xing replied.
Shen Congwen likes chatting with people very much, and there is no shortage of topics with him. Even when Shen Xing can't think of anything to say, he can smoothly and extremely naturally bring up topics.
The two of them drank, ate vegetables, and chatted, but Shen Congwen drank more, and Shen Xing basically tasted nothing.
"Brother die can't drink too much!" Shen Congwen could see that he didn't reluctantly persuade him to drink, which is a very good temperament.
"I don't usually drink it." Shen Xing laughed and paused. He seemed to ask casually: "I think Big Brother Shen not only has a good drinker, but should also exercise regularly. He doesn't usually get sick, right?"
Shen Congwen nodded: "Well, I rarely catch a cold or get sick. I usually do business with the people below. I am responsible for overall control and handling some tricky things that they can't handle. So I have more free time. Going to the gym is normal."
"Then the quality of sleep, Brother Shen?" Shen Xing asked again, "I think you have dark circles under the eyes."
"Really?" Shen Congwen touched his eye bags.
To be honest, he didn't have any dark circles under his eyes, this sentence was completely deliberately induced by Shen Xing.
"I usually sleep well, but sometimes I wake up suddenly when I fall asleep. I asked the doctor and said that it was a sleep convulsion. It was not a major problem. And I would fall asleep again soon after waking up, and it would not have any effect at all. , The quality of sleep is still okay." Shen Congwen said.
"Have you had any dreams that impress you?" Shen Xing asked.
Shen Congwen was taken aback, thought about it, then shook his head: "No, I said, why are you asking about this suddenly?"
Shen Xing paused for a while, and his expression became solemn. He said every word, "It's true, Brother Shen, I carve wood carvings full-time, and I often carve Buddha statues and other evil things for people. Many people come to me, come and go. I taught myself some feng shui principles to know people. Isn’t that reasonable?”
"Well, reasonable." Shen Congwen nodded, but his expression became more and more surprised.
"From the moment I saw you for the first time, I felt that you were entangled by a yin air." Shen Xing began to unleash a big move.
In the process of speaking, he looked mysterious and looked like a stick: "Through several observations later, I found that I was not mistaken. You are indeed entangled by something, but you may not know it."
"What?" Shen Congwen's expression changed, "Shen Xing, I treat you like a brother, but I didn't let you fool me like this!"
Shen Xing said this for a purpose. First of all, Shen Congwen's usual appearance was too normal, and he could not find any flaws in the abnormal changes. This shows that it is possible that he may not even know that the crying person is entangled him.
Or, even if he is a crying person, he does not have the evil consciousness of that guy when he is awake.
In other words, after becoming abnormal, Shen Congwen's original normal consciousness has actually ceased to exist, only full of evil. Until this evil temporarily disappears after reaching the goal, he will not be able to recover the present harmless appearance of humans and animals without knowing it.
"Why should I fool you?" Shen Xing said: "You and I are destined to meet in the Sunset Mountain. I just want to help you. During this period, I won't charge you any money, let alone let you buy my wood carvings."
"Then tell me, what is entwining me?" Shen Congwen drank the rest of the wine in the cup, stood up and said to Shen Xing.
It seemed that if Shen Xing couldn't answer, or the answer made him unsatisfied, he would let Shen Xing leave.
"You turn around and I'll take a look." Shen Xing said.
Shen Congwen was taken aback, his expression was a little unpleasant, but he forced to endure it, and moved awkwardly in front of Shen Xing.
Shen Xing looked at it. At this moment, the figure behind him did not appear again, but he immediately said: "On your back, there is a person, a man."
"I… "
Shen Congwen was startled and almost came out a swear word. Although he still didn't believe in Shen Xing, Shen Xing's words caused a layer of cold sweat on his back.
Walking quickly to the mirror in the bathroom, Shen Congwen half-turned around and looked at behind him carefully. There was nothing.
When he walked out and was about to question Shen Xing, Shen Xing had already asked, and his voice became soft.
"Do you like yourself?"
"Ah?" Shen Congwen was taken aback. He felt that Shen Xing might have a seizure. Otherwise, why would his thinking jump so sharply, he suddenly asked such a sentence.
"If you can't answer, there may really be a problem." Shen Xing added.
"What can I have a problem?" Shen Congwen smiled helplessly: "I don't say I like myself, but at least I love myself."
This time, Shen Xing had already replaced himself in the role of the crying person. For Shen Congwen's answer, he believed that the crying person would definitely not be satisfied.
"Do you like yourself?" he repeated.
Shen Congwen stared at him with wide eyes, but saw a smile on Shen Xing's face. This smile was a bit cold and stiff, revealing a chill that made people panicked inexplicably.
"Brother Shen?"
Shen Congwen yelled unconsciously, but saw that Shen Xing turned a deaf ear. He just kept this extremely uncomfortable smile and stared at himself coldly.
"Do you like yourself?" The third question came from Shen Xing coldly again.
Suddenly, Shen Congwen's body trembled slightly. He took a step back and sat on his own body. The expression on his face jumped repeatedly in confusion, surprise, incomprehension, and contemplation, turning bright and dark.
"Of course I... I like me..." Shen Congwen moved his lips and uttered these words vaguely, but before he finished the sentence, he suddenly got a suffocation in his throat and couldn't continue speaking.
His face gradually turned red at this moment, his cheeks were bruised, his neck became slightly thicker, and his blood vessels spurted, as if trying to say the complete sentence desperately, but the complete sentence was invisibly choked in his throat. in.
When Shen Xing saw this scene, he did nothing, but his fists were slightly clenched, his whole body tense, and his vigilance had been raised to the highest level.
Shen Congwen’s expression seemed to be struggling, but after working hard for a while, the stubborn expression was released instantly. The expression of surprise and confusion just now was replaced by a touch of peace. A cold expression of indifference.
He spoke slightly, and even his voice seemed to have changed to Shen Xing, but every word was uttered clearly and sounded.
"I hate myself."
Seeing Shen Congwen's appearance, Shen Xing was immediately moved and secretly said.
Continue to pretend to be ignorant and ask: "Why do you hate it?"
After asking this sentence, Shen Congwen's expression suddenly twitched, as if someone standing next to him was grabbing his face and rubbing, the muscles were pulled out of an incredible angle, and the whole person's temperament suddenly changed.
At this moment, Shen Congwen looked extremely cold. His facial features that had always been very kind were distorted and deformed. He was also a person, but at this moment it seemed that he had become a completely different person.
He split his mouth and said, "This guy is a coward, a completely hopeless coward!"
Shen Xing was taken aback, staring at the person in front of him with some surprise.
Shen Congwen gritted his teeth, his face grim: "Is he worthy of being a human being? He is not worthy of anything! Only worthy of being a pile of shit that tens of thousands of people hate!"
"Why?" Shen Xing asked.
Shen Congwen sneered: "I was bullied by my classmates and stripped off my pants in front of the girl I liked. Haha... I was beaten by my dad every day when I went home. I interrupted three bamboo canes in one night. Haha... Mom asked Who is he with, but he said to dad, because he doesn’t like his mother’s boyfriend, why should he be beaten! He came out to find a job, but the one who was cheated didn’t even have money for his meal. He slept under the overpass for a month, haha … Doing business loses all the money, and seeing the creditor dare not even let it go, he only knows to cry all day long. Crying, crying, what else can he do besides crying? Nothing is good, the mud can’t help the dog on the wall smash!"
In the process of saying this, Shen Congwen cried for a while and laughed again, his expression changed naturally, as if he was born with him.
But after the words were over, he suddenly became frightened again, and quickly shrank up on the head of the bed, curled up into a ball, and shouted: "Go away, why are you going away, who are you?"
Shen Xing clearly saw that he was not talking to himself, his eyes looked around unconsciously, as if to find the person who was talking just now.
Shen Congwen's words just ended, his expression changed again, his nose was sore, he sobbed twice, and said with a sneer: "Where are you going? Tear this stinky skin in half, half of you, half of me?"
"Ah!" Shen Congwen's expression changed again, very frightened, panicked, at a loss...
Suddenly, his body began to tremble, and then the curled body became more curved, like a prawn, but the next second, his limbs stretched out again.
At this moment, Shen Xing found that his back had changed, and the outline of his surroundings was gradually sunken in, and a thinner body was highlighted, followed by small limbs.
Finally, a face emerged from the back of Shen Congwen's head and replaced the back of his head, revealing a crying face.
Shen Congwen was already struggling to stand up from his sex, standing trembling by the bed, he suddenly turned to face Shen Xing, with a painful expression, as if he was confronting something, and said with difficulty: "You... hurry up!"
As soon as the voice fell, suddenly, the whole person turned around, revealing the crying person behind his back, tears streaming down his face, his voice was cold: "What's the hurry? By the way, do you like yourself? You won't like you still. Right? Do you really like it that much?"
An unusual emotion came along with his words. At this moment, Shen Xing suddenly felt a strong sense of self-rejection, which could not be restrained. It was like a basin of cold water falling from the top of his head, from head to toe, extremely cold.
At this moment, one could clearly see that the normal Shen Congwen's body that had been turned over, the whole person had already disappeared, his face turned ashes, as if he had completely died.
With a clattering sound, a piece of newspaper was covered by Shen Xing’s hand, covering the entire crying person. The covered space suddenly shrank, and in an instant it formed only one-third the size of the crying person, and it was tightly trapped in it. inside.
However, Shen Xing grabbed a pair of sharp scissors on the table in the next second because of a strong emotion of self-rejection and fiercely inserted it into his neck.
With a snap, this pair of scissors was instantly broken by the black fascia protective film hidden all over his body. (End of this chapter)
