Chapter 21: Strengthening the carving technique

Regarding the strength of this feature, if there is a chance to come into contact with it again in the future, it will not be too late to supplement it after forming a rough concept of the level of this strength. As for whether he will encounter these ghosts in the future, Jack has a hunch that he will probably encounter them again, because the disappearance of his fiancée Eva and the experience of these days make him feel that it will not be so simple.

Then he entered the information of the second ghost "Blood Eye".

Name: Blood Eye

Number: 02

Feature description: This is a blood eye that can move on its own and seems to have its own thoughts. It originally belonged to Fiona's eyes, but for some reason, it changed into a blood eye after its owner died, and it can be separated from the original body and exist independently, and it is driven by the eye nerves to move. At present, it seems that it can achieve the purpose of controlling the body by occupying the eye sockets of humans or animals. I wonder if this process is the legendary "possession"? Other features are being further explored...

Solution: ■■■■■.

Feature strength:?

Just after describing his understanding of the blood pupil, Jack suddenly saw a familiar line of silver font flashing in his mind. He immediately looked inward and was stunned for a moment.

[Blood pupil, current understanding of the characteristics is 70%. ]

The understanding of the characteristics of the blood pupil has actually increased! Looking inward at the words in his mind, Jack was a little surprised. He didn't expect that after he just described his guess about the blood pupil in more detail, his understanding of the characteristics of the blood pupil would actually increase by 20%.

In other words, he currently has a large understanding of the blood pupil. After saving the notepad document in his mobile phone, Jack turned his attention to the blood pupil sculpture again. I don't know how long it took, he turned around and climbed onto the bed in a daze, and soon fell asleep.

He slept until dawn, and the sun was high in the sky. Today's weather seems to be very good. The injury on the shoulder occasionally hurts, but as long as the movement is not large, you can basically not feel where the wound is. Jack stretched his waist slightly to avoid tearing the wound, got up from the bed, washed up, and was about to go out for a walk and have breakfast when Officer Ted called.

The young police officer seemed to be full of energy and asked with a smile on the other end of the phone: "You haven't gotten up yet?" Jack replied: "I got up and was about to go out for breakfast." "Did you find anything unusual after returning home?" Ted said with concern.

Jack shook his head: "No, I slept well last night." "That's good." Ted seemed to be running, "I have good news to tell you. The bonus of 10,000 yuan has just been deposited into your account. You may receive a text message reminder later."

Hearing that the money came, Jack was immediately refreshed: "Thank you!" "We should thank you." Ted laughed and said: "Originally, our team leader said that he would hold a case briefing and let you go on stage to accept the commendation and receive the bonus. Later, considering that this case is related to the special investigation team, everything was kept simple."

"In fact, I just hit it by accident and I'm lucky." Jack was ashamed. After a pause, he asked, "By the way, Chief Xiong, do you remember Fiona's daughter Clare?" "Of course I remember. The little girl is quite pitiful." Ted was a little regretful. "Clare has been sent to the Qiguang Orphanage by our Public Security Department. We have verified that the mother and daughter have no other relatives because Fiona was also an orphan before."

Jack had heard Clare herself mention this news before. She said that she didn't know who her father was because her mother never mentioned it. However, since the accident, he has not seen this precocious and sensible little girl again. At this moment, he still misses her a little.

Ted's thoughts at this moment coincided with Jack's, and he said, "We thought we could find Clare's father, but after investigation, we learned that even Fiona herself didn't know who he was." "Damn!" Jack was stunned for a few seconds. Fiona's tall stature and plump figure appeared in his mind. In addition, she would basically dress up when she went out. It seems that her love life is really not simple.

Thinking carefully, if it weren't for this, this woman would not have fallen into a murder case. There must be a reason for this tragic ending. "Well..." Jack hesitated for a moment and said, "Can I go to the orphanage to see Clare?"

"Okay, why not?" Ted on the other end of the phone seemed to have stopped running and continued, "After her mother's accident, the little girl has been waking up from her dreams for the past few nights. We thought we could find someone familiar to comfort her and talk to her for a while, so that she can complete her psychological reconstruction as soon as possible." After a pause, Ted said, "Plus, the murderer who killed her mother was exposed and executed because of you, so you and Clare's family are also destined to be together."

"Okay, I'll go to the Qiguang Orphanage to see her in the next two days." Jack nodded. After hanging up the phone, he went to the breakfast shop downstairs to eat. After taking a walk, Jack returned to the rental house and began to prepare to remake a bust of Allen.

There was no way. Now I had to keep this finished product for myself, so I had to make another new one and hand it in when Adam and his son came back. This kind of wood for making busts is slightly larger. Jack's shop has it. He took one back in advance.

For the facial features, he likes to use arc knives and flat-blade knives to polish step by step, and he enjoys the process. For the parts that need large-area trimming, he directly uses a tooth grinder. Although the electric tooth grinder is a little more expensive, it has a high speed, is relatively quiet, and is flexible and convenient to operate.

In fact, when making slightly larger carvings, it is better to use a hanging grinder, but the disadvantages of hanging grinders are also obvious. It needs to be suspended in the house for operation, which is very troublesome and noisy. Operating a hanging grinder on the workbench at home will affect the rest of the neighbors. It is slightly better during the day. At night, Jack will even use the tooth grinder less frequently, because it will always produce a small noise, so he will try not to use it as much as possible.

When polishing the sculpture, Jack is most focused. He puts all the bizarre encounters of the past few days behind his mind and just focuses on the current work. Time passes by every second.

At eight o'clock in the evening, he cooked some white rice porridge at home, ate two bowls of porridge with the pickled mustard and salted eggs he bought in the morning, and then continued to work. After midnight, he put down his tools, moved around in the house, and then began to stare at the Allen sculpture.

He found that when he stared at the Allen sculpture, although the recovery of mental antibodies was slower, it was stable, and his mind was relatively stable during the process. When staring at the blood pupil sculpture, although the recovery of mental antibodies was faster, his mood fluctuated more, and he felt an unbearable anxiety, just like the anxious look of the blood pupil when it rolled and crawled on the ground and was eager to get close to his cheek.

So when his mood needed to be stable, he chose to stare at Allen, even if it was slower. The next day, Jack found that his speed in making sculptures seemed to have improved a lot, and the dexterity of his ten fingers increased sharply. When he cut the surface of the sculpture, he was extremely precise, with almost no unnecessary decoration and polishing.

This must be related to absorbing the characteristics of the fake Allen and enhancing the strength of his fingers. In fact, when making the bust of Allen, because there was the first sculpture as a reference, Jack was actually only responsible for manually copying the sculpture. With the dexterity of his ten fingers, his carving techniques and speed improved by leaps and bounds.
