Chapter 238 Monitor

Xia Shou looked at the portrait that had just been completed. The other person was a tall and gentle man wearing a very ordinary suit. It was said that he also carried a mask of a strange style with him.

The portrait artist drew the mask based on the villagers' description. It was a black and white crying and laughing mask, probably some kind of forbidden object.

"Thanks."

After examining it carefully, Xia Shou folded the portrait and put it in his pocket. He would then go to the club to confirm the portrait with Ximen Qing.

But before going to the club, he had to ask Su Weiyu to help him shoot a video of his daily life so that he could cheat Little Red Riding Hood for the reward.

"Ah Shou, have you been waiting for a long time?" Su Weiyu jumped out from behind the passing employees like a sensitive deer, walked around to Xia Shou, patted his shoulder gently, and put the can of hot coffee in her hand to Xia Shou's face, "Would you like some?"

Seeing Su Weiyu's happy expression, Xia Shou didn't know whether to say that she was heartless or praise her for her optimistic nature.

"You are now in the sea of ​​thirst and indulgence, so you should pay more attention to the ticket issue." Xia Shou reminded.

Su Weiyu shrugged indifferently and said with a self-satisfied look: "I feel pretty good recently. I don't seem to want to eat as often, and my sinking speed has also slowed down a lot. Maybe if I keep the current situation, I can reach the next sea area safely? Maybe the next sea area is a blank safe zone."

Xia Shou stared at Su Weiyu suspiciously, not quite believing what she said. If the Root Sea was such a harmless thing, then there wouldn't be so many people afraid of the Abyss Syndrome.

Each sea has a unique price that divers have to pay. The impact of the Thirsty Sea of ​​Indulgence should be uncontrolled desire.

But if Su Weiyu's appetite was curbed, what would happen next?

Xia Shou shook his head and put aside his curiosity.

"We should get the tickets as soon as possible. It's definitely not a good thing if the symptoms worsen." Xia Shou decided to find an opportunity to go to the Intelligence Department and ask about the Thirst Fang.

The Fang of Thirst is said to be the god who controls the Sea of ​​Thirst and Desire, and is said to be an invisible and intangible god.

In many legends, Thirst Teeth is represented by imagery of scenery and a hazy feeling, with few physical descriptions.

Although there is no accurate description of the Blood God's specific appearance in many historical documents, there are still many different descriptions.

For example, some people regard Idrisu as the Blood God, some regard the Blood Demon as the Blood God, and some regard the offspring born by the Blood Mother and the Invincible Beast as the Blood God. Even though these legends contain many errors, they never avoid describing the specific appearance of the Blood God as a god.

But there is almost no similar description of Thirsty Teeth. Instead, a large number of symbolic things are used to convey the indirect feelings brought by Thirsty Teeth.

To use secular mythology as an analogy, the book depicts the Blood God much like Greek mythology depicts Zeus: a majestic and righteous mature man with a burly figure and a thick beard, sitting on the throne of the main god, holding a scepter in his left hand and a thunder hammer in his right hand, with a sacred eagle perched at his feet.

Such description is specific and can make people imagine.

But the description of the Teeth of Thirst is in another style - it gives people a feeling of being always very dry and hungry, like a lungfish solidified under cracked soil. The rain in the sky is eager to fall, and the lungfish underground has been waiting. The lungfish is bitten by the dry soil, and the clouds also bite the rain.

That's about it. The books about this god are confusing to read, and one can't help but wonder why the author used clouds and soil to represent the tooth of thirst.

Or is it the lungfish, which is constantly craving for rain, and the rain that longs for it to fall from the clouds, representing the teeth of thirst?
Moreover, why did they use teeth to describe this great god? Xia Shou could not come up with an answer from the general information he had seen, except that it was said that believers targeted by the teeth of thirst would feel like they were being bitten.

The biting feeling is not a physical bite, but a feeling of being deeply connected to a "foreign object", unable to get rid of it, and constantly being affected by it.

Just like the buffalo being eaten alive by hyenas on the African savannah, when its abdominal cavity is torn open and its internal organs are being devoured, the numb buffalo still lowers its head and quietly nibbles on the grass, as if even if its internal organs are empty, as long as it keeps eating grass, it can survive, and everything will get better as long as it eats grass.

The descriptions of Thirst Teeth in myths and legends all express this kind of crazy "pleasure" that disregards consequences and everything else.

This kind of enjoyment is not necessarily happy, and is often painful.

In order to help Su Weiyu sink safely, Xia Shou took some time out of his busy schedule to learn about this god, but his initial understanding gave him an impression that was even more terrifying than the Blood God. It was precisely because of the vagueness and incomprehensibility that it was even more terrifying.

"Wow! What are you daydreaming about? What are we going to do now? Didn't you ask me to take a picture for you?" Su Weiyu gently patted Xia Shou's chest to bring him back to his senses.

Then Su Weiyu took out her cell phone, put her left hand around Xia Shou's arm, and took a selfie.

"Not bad." Su Weiyu looked at the photo she had just taken and held it up to Xia Shou. "Is this one okay? I think it's pretty good."

"I can't present this to my employer. You have to film my daily activities throughout the day so that I can take them to the club and exchange them for an epic fragment."

Su Weiyu opened her eyes wide and said in disbelief, "Is this true?! Isn't that fragment extremely valuable? No, it's something that money can't buy."

Xia Shou shrugged and said self-deprecatingly: "I didn't expect that I was worth so much, but it seems that someone has set their sights on me, and they want to kidnap me."

"The people in the choir club..."

The smile on Su Weiyu's lips slowly disappeared, her brows slightly furrowed, revealing an expression of serious thought.

Seeing Su Weiyu's expression, Xia Shou patted her on the shoulder and nonchalantly comforted her: "Although we don't know the reason yet, let's take it one step at a time. Being targeted is no big deal. If someone is interested in me, then we will play with them and see who in the club is willing to pay so generously."

……

……

At the same time, on the rooftop of an office building 3,000 meters away from Jiangbo City Museum, Huangfu Zuoren held a telescope and kept his eyes on the direction of the museum gate. After several hours of patient waiting, the familiar figure finally appeared in Huangfu Zuoren's sight again.

"Didn't notice me... It seems that it was because of that ugly girl with a sculptured face next to him last time."

Huangfu Zuoren stared at Xia Shou in the telescope, but his attention was all on Alice behind Xia Shou.

After a long moment, he chuckled, crushed the lollipop between his teeth, and then put down the telescope in shock.

"Wow! I really wasn't seeing things... Doesn't the appearance of the possessed spirit look exactly like the one in the portrait? That maid is actually dead?"
