Chapter 40 Perception of Abnormality

"Not a ghost?!"

Jack showed a surprised expression when he heard Ray's words.

"If it's not a ghost, then what left this dry face?"

"I don't know." Ray answered directly.

As he answered, he stood up, retracted his gaze from Rainy who was curled up on the ground, and turned to Jack: "I have experienced more abnormalities than you. As far as I can see now, some special cases may be caused by ghosts as we understand, but some cases, well, I don't know what I am dealing with, just like this case now."

If it were normal, Ray would not say this to an ordinary person. He could say this to Jack because Jack had encountered abnormalities more than once.

According to the speculation of these special case investigators, Jack should be similar to himself, and also a person with strong mental power, and has a certain "abnormal attraction".

Otherwise, Jack could not have supported it for so long in the encounter just now. Maybe he would have been lying on the ground with Rainy at this moment, in a coma.

"Isn't this a ghost possession?" Jack was even more confused. "This ghost disguises itself as the face of the possessed person and hides quietly. It can directly control the person at the critical moment. Moreover, it has transmitted the possession clone to you and me through some way we don't know yet."

Ray was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Jack a few more times: "You are good, I just said a few words, and you have guessed so many things!"

After saying that, Ray habitually reached out to pat Jack's shoulder, but his black gloves just touched the festering and maggoty flesh on the back of Rainy's head, so he paused in the air and retracted it.

"But speculation is speculation, since you said it is a ghost, have you seen its true appearance?" Ray asked.

As he asked, he picked up the skin that fell off Jack's head and asked, "What kind of ghost have you seen that is a dry scalp? And it's real? You and I can touch it, and it can produce chemical changes, such as drying up due to loss of moisture."

Jack almost blurted out, but he managed to hold it back, muttering in his heart: "The shadow of this thing is now in my mind, how do you explain it?"

Thinking about it, he really couldn't explain Ray's question.

Of course, if he said now that he had locked the "face skin", Ray's previous inference might be overturned.

But at this moment, Jack, who had mastered two hands of information, was even more confused.

If it wasn't a ghost, how could he lock it in by speculation and then put it into the sculpture?

But if it was a ghost, the dry face skin produced by this thing would indeed produce a chemical reaction, lose moisture, and become withered, as if it was something that conformed to the natural laws of this world.

After thinking for a moment, Jack couldn't find the answer.

Ray didn't know what he was thinking, and continued: "The ghosts I encountered had human forms, and were ethereal and unreal. They were not this kind. They cannot be defined by our understanding as to whether they really exist, not like this, which I hold in my hand at this moment."

He raised the dry face in his hand and almost slapped Jack in the face.

This explanation made Jack's mind involuntarily think of the "blood pupil".

The blood pupil is also substantial, not illusory, nor ethereal. It can be caught by oneself, and can also crawl through the beating of the eye nerves.

Is the blood pupil not a ghost?

But this thing comes from the organ in the eye socket of Clare's mother, Fiona!

If there is no resentment concentrated in the blood pupil, how could Fiona become a walking corpse?

In Jack's impression before, the blood pupil is actually Fiona, which is just another form after she became a fierce ghost.

As for the fake Alen, this guy must be the "ghost" mentioned by Ray, because he has a human body and his whereabouts are uncertain, which meets the characteristics of a ghost.

Otherwise, it is impossible for there to be two identical humans in this world.

According to Ray's statement, Jack made a little speculation and found that the world became even more confusing. No matter what it was, it seemed to be covered with a layer of mystery at this moment.

At this moment, Ray looked around the ground and said in surprise: "Rainy should also have a face on the back of his head. Did you see it just now?"

Jack immediately shook his head like a rattle, and a surprised expression appeared on his face at the right time.

Ray immediately said: "Leave here first, Lily and Zhao Wenbo will be here soon. If the face belonging to Rainy is still here, this room is still very dangerous at this moment!"

Jack couldn't wait to leave now, nodded quickly, opened the living room door and ran out without saying a word.

Ray immediately closed the living room door from the inside.

Jack stood in the corridor outside the house, raised his voice, and asked through the door: "Lao Zheng, I'm leaving first. If you have anything, call me or come to Ivy Community to find me."

"Okay."

Ray's voice came from the room.

Jack ignored him and turned around and walked away quickly.

After hearing the footsteps leaving, Ray's face slowly changed from nervous to indifferent. His body trembled slightly, a layer of gray air appeared on his face, and a faint crackling sound was heard around his body.

Then he stretched out his left hand with a black rubber glove and touched the back of Rainy's head, inserting his index finger into the festering flesh.

...

When Jack walked out of the gate of Jujiayuan Community, he saw a black Baobian SUV just driving to the gate of the community. The car window was open, and the person sitting in the passenger seat was Lily.

The security guard at the door came forward to ask.

Lily said: "I'm from the Public Security Bureau, come to investigate the family living here."

"Excuse me, which family?" the security guard asked.

"No. 8-2, Unit 1, Building 7." Lily answered, "His son Wangcai bit his neighbor three years ago and insisted that it was the neighbor who bit him. The neighbor didn't believe him and bit himself, and then he got infected with mold and died. Then the family took Wangcai away overnight."

The security guard rolled his eyes, and the black BMW drove straight into the community.

Jack was also stunned standing at the other end.

After he came to his senses, he just walked to the street, and an ambulance roared in. Looking back, he found that the ambulance also drove into Jujiayuan.

Jack didn't stay any longer and took a taxi back to the Ivy Community.

This plan was completed smoothly. The itchy scalp symptoms that bothered him were gone, and he also got such a weird face.

While sitting in the taxi, he carefully examined the black shadow of the face in his mind. He originally thought that this face should look like Rainy, but after careful identification, he found that it didn't look like it.

The deeper he looked, the more he felt that this face was not that simple, because from the facial features, Jack could feel that these facial features were very unfamiliar to him, but after looking at it for a while, he found that they seemed very familiar.

This is a very strange illusion, between strange and familiar. After seeing this weird face, people can't help but take another look.

Back home, it was already noon.

The weather today is not very good, gloomy, although it is not raining, it makes people feel an indescribable depression.

Jack checked the closed door as usual, returned to the workbench in the bedroom, turned on the light on the workbench, and immediately took out his mobile phone impatiently and called up his saved documents.

There are currently three encrypted documents saved in the mobile phone, one is [Fake Alen], one is [Blood Eyes], and the last one is [Rainy (tentative)] which was just added recently.

Open the third document, change the name of [Rainy (tentative)] to [Face], and then Jack began to add the latest feature description.
