Jack paid the fare, got off the taxi, and walked into the community. It was late at night, so he decided not to eat out. After returning home, he boiled water, soaked a pack of instant noodles, cut some ham sausages at random, and quickly finished dinner.
Returning to the workbench in the bedroom, he first checked the mental antibody progress bar under the corner of his eye, which currently showed the third level of antibodies. Obviously, Rainy's mental influence was quite strong. After only a brief contact with her in room 307, two of his five levels of antibodies were consumed.
Without the support of mental antibodies, Jack knew that he might fall earlier than the male volunteer nicknamed "Big Monster".
Realizing the importance of quickly recovering mental antibodies, he chose to stare at the blood-eyed sculpture to speed up recovery. Although sleepiness continued to attack, with rich experience, Jack insisted on staring at the blood-eyed sculpture for half an hour, and the mental antibody progress bar under the corner of his eye gradually filled the fourth level and moved towards the fifth level.
However, as the sleepiness intensified, Jack realized that this was a side effect of enhancing mental antibodies. He felt that he was about to collapse, so he had to look away.
At this moment, there was a strong itching sensation on the scalp at the back of his head, as if dozens of ants were crawling. Jack reflexively shrank his head, stretched out his hand and scratched the back of his head a few times, the corners of his mouth unconsciously pulled apart, gritted his teeth, and made a hissing sound.
"Why is my scalp so itchy?" After he scratched, the itching began to ease, "It seems that I need to change my shampoo."
After saying this, Jack suddenly shook his body, and he felt as if he had encountered the same situation somewhere. After a moment, he muttered to himself: "Rainy?!"
At this time, the itching had disappeared, but Jack felt that his whole body was numb, as if he had fallen into a dream. At this moment, he began to suspect that he was experiencing the strange things that Rainy had experienced before.
He unconsciously took out his phone and opened the Notepad APP, which showed two documents, "Fake Alen" and "Blood Eyes". At this time, he directly created a third document and quickly entered text according to the format of the first two documents.
[Name: Rainy (tentative)
Number: 03
Characteristic description: This ghost will cause the scalp of the possessed person to itch in the early stage of possession. The symptoms are basically similar to those of scalpitis, which makes people mistakenly think it is a skin disease. Other characteristics are being further explored...
Solution:?
Characteristic strength:? ]
Because he doesn't know the exact form of the ghost, Jack can't judge whether he can store it after making the sculpture of Rainy, so he put a question mark after "Solution". But by speculating the abnormal characteristics, the degree of understanding of the characteristics can reach more than 80%, and this ghost can be locked.
Just after editing this new document, the familiar silver font flashed in Jack's mind.
[Unknown abnormality, current degree of understanding of characteristics 20%. ]
"Guessed it!" After seeing these words, he was secretly delighted, but the next second, his whole body couldn't help but feel cold. The degree of understanding of the characteristics is increasing, which means that part of his speculation is correct. In other words, this ghost does make the scalp of the possessed person itchy.
But this also indirectly shows that he has been possessed by this hidden ghost. Even if he is not possessed, at least he has been "targeted".
Suppressing his somewhat flustered heart, he continued to enter his speculation into the new document of "Rainy". In particular, new content was added to the characteristic description column.
[Characteristic description: This ghost will cause the scalp of the possessed person to itch in the early stage of possession. The symptoms are basically similar to those of scalpitis, which makes people mistakenly think it is a skin disease. And if the possession is successful or enters a new stage, there will be a symptom that causes a lot of wrinkles on the neck skin of the possessed person. Other characteristics are being further explored...]
This paragraph has just been edited, and the silver font in my mind immediately has a new change.
[Unknown abnormality, current understanding of the characteristics is 30%. ]
"No!" Jack suddenly shook his head, staring at the text he edited, and then manually deleted the description of the wrinkles on the neck skin, and changed it to "The symptoms are that the neck of the possessed person will be completely twisted, and may even rotate."
The silver font changed again.
[Unknown anomaly, current feature understanding degree 50%. ]
Jack was shocked. He didn't expect that just this one speculation would increase his understanding of this guy by 20%. At this time, his scalp began to itch slightly again.
He immediately noticed it, but did not reach out to scratch it. Instead, he gently touched the itchy scalp and hair with his index and middle fingers. This touch immediately felt strange. He twisted a strand of hair that had obviously grown longer with two fingers. When he came to the mirror in the bathroom, Jack tilted his body and looked at the mirror carefully.
He found that at the location where his scalp was itchy, a strand of hair that had obviously grown longer was pinched by his two fingers. This thing actually made the hair start to grow rapidly!
"Is this... a ghost or hair?" Jack actually had this question at this moment.
If there is something wrong with my scalp, that is, something has sunk into my skin, causing the hair in this area to violate the laws of nature and suddenly start to grow faster.
But if there is nothing wrong with my scalp, could it be that it is just because of this strange long hair that causes my scalp to itch?
In the rental house, Jack sat in front of the workbench and fell into deep thought, constantly speculating. If it were any other ordinary person, he would have been scared out of his wits and might even call Lily or run to the hospital.
But Jack seemed unusually calm, first because he was brave, and second because he had encountered two terrifying situations before, so facing this third time, his psychological defense line has become much stronger.
Whether it is a problem with the scalp or this strand of hair, now his body has become weird, at least the hair is growing rapidly, this is a fact.
Jack carefully pressed his scalp with his fingers again, and the itching sensation was temporarily gone. He returned to the workbench to get his phone, and returned to the bathroom mirror. While observing the abnormality of the back of his head through the mirror, he continued to input his speculation on the characteristics of this long hair.
Soon, he added new facts and speculations to the description of the characteristics.
[When the scalp is itchy, the hair in the itchy area will grow rapidly, exceeding other normal hair growth. It is not known how long it will be, or whether this long hair will fall off...]
When writing this, Jack remembered that Rainy originally had long hair. When he first met her, Rainy put down her bun and kept scratching her hair outside Clare's room 307.
It should be at that time that she had been feeling abnormal for several days.
In other words, when his scalp just started to itch, there should be a buffer period for it to become Rainy's current weird appearance.
