I don’t know if it was because he had the offering card in his hand, but there were no accidents at the intersections Zheng Kai passed next.
On the dark and silent street, Zheng Kai's footsteps seemed particularly harsh.
Because he was delayed for some time at the first intersection, Zheng Kai's steps were a little hurried and he was in a hurry.
After hearing Zheng Kai's question, Zhu Zhu in the jar recalled: "I don't know anything about the painter, I only know that he is not here."
"He doesn't look like a monster."
Zhu Zhu's words caught Zheng Kai's attention.
Zheng Kai paused slightly: "Why do you say that?"
Zhu Zhu thought for a moment: "The first time I saw him was at the slaughterhouse of the vegetable market. There was no cunningness or hatred in him."
"He didn't know whether he was looking for someone or something at the slaughterhouse. He looked very anxious. But after seeing me, he asked me to follow him back to his territory."
There is no guile or hatred.
Isn't that the same as Zheng Kai?
Zheng Kai also has no cunning energy or hatred. Part of his current cunning energy comes from the blessing of the Blood Scab Mask, and part of it comes from Qiu Jing.
As for hatred, Zheng Kai has none.
Zheng Kai suddenly discovered a bright spot: "You mean, his territory is not at the slaughtering dock, but somewhere else?"
Zhu Zhu gave an affirmative answer: "Yes."
"His territory is in a building, and that building is full of weird things. He lives on the top floor. There is only one room on that floor, and that's his."
Zheng Kai thought for a moment.
The painter lives in a building.
Buildings full of weird things are actually very common, at least in this world.
Zheng Kai can guarantee that if he walks into any building, he can see many strange things in the building.
After all, this is the world of monsters.
Just like in the real world, the most indispensable thing is living people.
The most indispensable thing in the world of monsters is monsters.
Zhu Zhu's words didn't have much effect.
But Zheng Kai still kept these words in his heart.
"What do you think a painter is?" Zheng Kai asked curiously.
He wanted to hear Zhu Zhu's thoughts.
Zhu Zhu has come into contact with painters and must have his own intuitive impression of them.
Zhu Zhu is very smart. Her reason is not completely swallowed up by hatred and deceit, so she can always maintain her reason and communicate with Zheng Kai.
This should also be one of the functions of the offering card.
It can make monsters think calmly, or it can make monsters run wild uncontrollably.
To put it simply, the tricks are toys, and the offering cards are toy controllers.
The tablets in the ancestral hall behind the offering tablets represent people playing with toys.
The relationship between these three is very clear.
Zheng Kai straightened things out in an instant.
Zhu Zhu slowly adapted to being in the jar, and his voice became much more natural: "The painter has no aura or hatred in him, but I saw him kill a blood vessel level monster with my own eyes."
"I think he is a trick, he just hides it well."
Hearing Zhu Zhu's words, Zheng Kaixin did not agree.
Qiu Sheng is not a monster, but a living person. But if Qiu Sheng wants to kill a monster, it will be easy for him.
The absence of guile and hatred is not a rigid criterion for limiting strength.
Taking a step back, even if we rule out the possibility of living people, it is possible that the painter is a special object with self-awareness.
For example, a mirror.
The mirror itself is a dead object, but after gaining self-awareness, it has the ability to kill strange objects.
From the beginning, the mirror itself was devoid of hatred and deceit.
Hate is a human emotion.
It is impossible for a dead thing to contain human emotions.
The strangeness and hatred that Zheng Kai felt from the mirror all came from the strange things trapped in the mirror world by the mirror.
But thinking about it this way, Zheng Kai felt something was wrong.
The mirror has self-awareness and the ability to kill monsters, but it cannot move freely.
Special items are items after all.
It doesn't have human feet, which is why the mirror stays in room 203 because it can't leave the room on its own.
The painter in Zhu Zhu's mouth is obviously the same person.
A person who can move freely!
Of course, it may also be a strange thing that can move freely.
Seeing Zheng Kai frowning and thinking, Zhu Zhu did not disturb him anymore, but poked his semi-viscous head out of the jar and looked at everything around him.
She has always been at the crossroads.
The task given by the painter to Zhu Zhu was to light up the memorial tablet in the ancestral hall as soon as possible, but Zhu Zhu was not allowed to leave the intersection.
Now, Zhu Zhu is more curious about everything around him than Zheng Kai.
Her eyes were full of curiosity.
Unknowingly, Zheng Kai arrived at the gate of the Plastic Surgery Hospital with the jar in his arms.
The street lights on the street are not on.
The iron door of the hospital was not closed, it was open openly, as if to say that every monster was welcome to enter the hospital.
Zheng Kai glanced around, and the eyes that were spying on him disappeared.
To be precise, within a hundred meters of Zheng Kai entering the hospital, all the strange things that were ready to move settled down.
Zhu Zhu whispered: "Um...Zheng Kai, can I not go in?"
Zheng Kai lowered his head and looked at the jar: "Why? Are you afraid of the inside?"
Zhu Zhu responded hurriedly: "I don't dare to go in. The painter told me that as long as it is a hospital, don't go in, you will die."
A painter again!
This painter seems to know the world of weird things very well.
He seems to have a clear grasp of which places are safer and which places are more dangerous.
"Did he say why?" Zheng Kai asked curiously.
Zhu Zhu stuck his head out of the jar, glanced inside the hospital, and then retracted his head into the jar: "No, but when he said this, his expression was very serious and scary."
"I have been at the intersection before and have never been to other places, so I have never worried about this problem. I didn't expect you to take me directly to the hospital." Zhu Zhu's voice was trembling.
Zheng Kai couldn't help but laugh: "You said you have never been to other places, then why did you go to the slaughterhouse of the wet market?"
The painter and Zhu Zhu met at the slaughterhouse.
This shows that Zhu Zhu is hiding something from Zheng Kai, but Zheng Kai has not revealed it.
Zhu Zhu fell silent.
Another thing, Zhu Zhu must know the location of the painter's building, because she went to the intersection after leaving there.
But Zhu Zhu did not tell Zheng Kai the location of that building.
Zheng Kai knew that Zhu Zhu could not completely trust him, so Zheng Kai did not ask in detail about these reservations.
"Don't worry, it's not my first time here."
"I will take you out safely."
Zheng Kai said softly, then took a deep breath, his eyes under the mask turned completely black, and then walked into the hospital.
Zheng Kai has this confidence.
Because in his hand, there was the makeup mirror that the doll wanted.
