Chapter 51 Sneaking In

There is only one way to overcome my fear, and that is to calm down Shitu. If I can’t calm him down, I can only use a secret method to put Shitu into a kind of coma-like sleep.

Although we are a symbiotic tiger soul, in terms of status, I am still the main one, and Shatu is the auxiliary. According to what the master told me, if my soul is scattered, Shatu’s fate will also be miserable, which means that it will also be scattered.

However, if Silly Tiger can form a complete tiger soul during my lifetime, then after I die, at the moment when my soul is released, Silly Tiger will also be completely free.

Since this is a model of my dominance, I have a secret method to control Silly Tiger.

Lao Hui had already left in a hurry, and I had just finished smoking a cigarette and stubbed it out. I immediately fell into a state of deep thought and tried to communicate with Shatu.

Contemplation is a very wonderful state, and since Shatu and I are living together, it is easy to communicate with it. However, this time, it seemed to ignore my communication, but instead showed infinite restlessness and anxiety, and also鈥攆ear.

I tried to convince Shatu that it should not be afraid, because the task must be completed. If it is afraid, we will be in danger.

But Shahu still didn’t change much. In the state of meditation, I seemed to see Shahu walking back and forth, and from time to time, he would swallow. Moreover, I could feel that he had another kind of emotion at this time, and he wanted to tell me something, very eager to tell me something. Unfortunately, Shahu was still far from a state of complete soul, and he could only express simple emotions to me. It was absolutely impossible to communicate in this state, which made him even more irritable.

Its emotions obviously affect my emotions as well. In this situation, I had no choice but to start reciting obscure mantras in my heart and then hypnotize Shahu.

The mantra is a very magical thing. Master once said that it imitates the original sound of the heavens, which is direct and simple. What is the sound of the heavens? I don’t know, I only know that the scientific explanation of hypnotizing Shitu is actually human self-hypnosis. After all, I said that Shitu is also part of my soul, but compared to the complicated and time-consuming method of psychological suggestion, the mantra is really simple, direct and effective.

Under my spell, Silly Tiger slowly fell into a deep sleep, which was actually harmless to it. After all, many animals practice and often fall into a long sleep. This is not laziness, it is just… just a way to cultivate the soul.

I once knew that sleep is the simplest and most effective way to replenish the spirit and nourish the soul.

When Silly Tiger fell into a deep sleep, it was just like the beginning, when it was still in a state of ignorance and had not been awakened. It could only be awakened passively when I was in danger of life and death. This feeling made me, who was already accustomed to Silly Tiger’s existence, feel a sense of emptiness, because I could not feel its emotions, and I was even a little sad.

But the benefits of this are also obvious. As Silly Tiger fell into a deep sleep, the negative emotions it brought with it also left me. I no longer felt that irresistible fear, and all my senses returned to normal.

I let out a long sigh and simply laid on my back in the ‘green gauze tent’, taking the time to recover from my exhaustion. I was thinking, “Please don’t let a snake climb on me…” This kind of bachelor who likes to think nonsense and distract himself at critical moments is back.

After about ten minutes, I heard footsteps in the tent. I didn’t even move, because I knew it was Lao Hui coming back.

Seeing me lying there, Lao Hui took a bottle of water out of his backpack and threw it to me, saying, “Don’t lie like this, or I’ll think you’re dead.”

People who drink alcohol always get thirsty, especially in such hot weather. I grabbed the water bottle, drank half of it, and then handed it back to Lao Hui. Lao Hui drank a few sips, threw the empty bottle away, and then took out his thermal detector and some miscellaneous gadgets from his large bag. Then he pulled some corn stalks to cover it up.

“What’s this for?” I looked at Lao Hui and thought he was preparing to “go into battle lightly.”

“It’s strange, but the result of the detection shows that there are three floors in that house, right? Plus the half-story attic on the roof, it’s almost a fourth floor. There are seven people in the house, almost all of them are concentrated on the first floor, which means that there are no people on the upper floors. But I observed that occasionally those on the first floor would move to the second or third floor. I guess it’s inconvenient to go to the attic on the roof, so they probably wouldn’t go there.” Lao Hui explained to me.

“Just seven people?” I also stood up from the ground after hearing this. I always felt that the house was not simple, so how could there only be seven people?

“I don’t actually know. I used to learn a little bit of technology. This technology is considered detection technology. In short, I used a little trick to detect it. I always felt that there was probably a basement in the house, but the equipment couldn’t detect it. Let’s talk about it later. You said that there was a problem with the house, so we must find out.” While he was talking, Lao Hui had already finished packing and was tying his shoelaces. I was doing the same thing.

I had a little understanding with Lao Hui. From his words and actions, I knew that he meant it was obvious that we were going to climb the stairs later! It was a breath to climb up to the fourth floor, or the attic on the roof.

The night is the best cover for everything. After I had overcome my fear, the operation seemed to go smoothly. At this moment, Lao Hui and I had successfully scaled the wall and stood in the backyard of the house.

“He doesn’t have a dog, so we’re lucky. This is what you mean by having the right timing, the right place and the right people,” said Lao Hui, who was inexplicably in a good mood. Or he thought that as long as we could sneak in, our mission would be more than half done.

The reason we dared to come in so arrogantly was because the heat detector had detected no dogs in the yard, but Lao Hui’s words made me shake my head. I said to Lao Hui, “This house is evil. Do you think you can keep a dog alive? You know that although dogs are not as good as cats, they are still sensitive, and evil things are not as afraid of them as cats are.”

While talking in a low voice, I began to observe the surrounding terrain. This house is like a typical country house. The front yard is very large, but the so-called backyard is not as accurate as calling it a back alley. It is generally used as a place for the wood house, or it is used to pile up miscellaneous items. If it is larger, a utility room is built here.

The place where I would always return was next to a small utility room. Next to the utility room was an exposed downspout, which was used to drain the roof. Lao Hui and I had to climb onto the roof, and it was basically up to it. It was a bit difficult, but because the downspout was close to a row of windows, it wasn’t too difficult.

“It’s a good thing we’re Taoist priests. Which real Taoist priest doesn’t practice a few boxing moves to keep fit? Otherwise, this building would have killed us.” Lao Hui spat in his hand, rubbed his hands, and then climbed up the wall again with agility. Then he continued along the narrow wall and climbed to the top of the utility room. I followed Lao Hui closely.

The top of the utility room was covered with asbestos mesh, which was obviously easy to break. If it was broken, the noise would be huge.

So, Lao Hui and I dared only to carefully follow the edge of the acquaintance, quickly jumping over in two steps. Fortunately, as long as the speed is fast, even a piece of paper can withstand the pressure for a moment. We didn’t step on the asbestos tiles, but instead successfully grabbed the downspout…

It was only when Lao Hui was holding onto the downspout and pressing against the wall that he let out a low cry and almost fell. At that moment, I had just stepped on the asbestos tile, waiting for Lao Hui to make room for me. I didn’t want this to happen.

Fortunately, I reacted quickly. When I jumped in the last step, I lightly jumped to the side and immediately grabbed the second floor window sill with one hand, and used the force to grab Lao Hui!

“What’s going on…” I only asked two words, but I couldn’t ask them because when I grabbed the window ledge of this building, the coldness from the window ledge almost made me fall, let alone speak.

This chill was not the feeling of holding ice, but the cold that came straight from the bottom of my heart. Fortunately, it was only a momentary contact, so it was inevitable that my mind would be unstable. As long as I survived that second, it would be fine.

Laohui had already recovered by then, and he was acting like a monkey, quickly climbing up a few times. I also grabbed the downspout and stabilized my body.

After we had both found a foothold, Lao Hui let out a long sigh and said, “Well, you can feel it, this house definitely has a big problem.”

I urged him from below, saying, “You don’t have to tell me. Just climb up. We’ll find out what’s wrong when we get inside.”

However, why did a sense of fear spread in my heart when Xiaohu was clearly already asleep?
