Chapter IV, Section 7

After that, Haoyan and I walked to the church. Outside the church, it was about eight o'clock, the sun was shining, shining golden on the chrysanthemum fields, and there were many bees busy collecting honey, looking full of vitality, which made people feel refreshed. After a sleepless night last night and so many things, I told Haoyan that I wanted to be alone for a while to sort out my mood. Haoyan also said that he would inspect the surrounding woods. So, we went our separate ways.

I wandered aimlessly in the chrysanthemum fields, thinking about last night, about Lina, about Singh's mother, about Pi, about Primla, and completely oblivious to the scenery around me. It wasn't until I came to the edge of the flower field, almost to the edge of the cliff, that I realized that something was wrong. The insects flying around me were no longer bees, but black, obnoxious flies. And more swarms of flies gathered not far in front of me, above a newly dug mound. The chrysanthemums leading to the mound seem to have been trampled on, forming a path from side to side. The fragrance of the residual chrysanthemum is particularly unpleasant under the sunlight, which makes people want to vomit.

Seeing so many flies gathered together gave me goosebumps all over my body. I hesitated to call Haoyan to come over and check. However, going back and calling people like this seems to make people think that I am useless, and it is daytime, so the spirits should not come out, and if there is a situation, I will leave immediately. So, I cautiously made my way in the direction of the mound, and the closer I got there, the stronger the stench of rotting flesh became.

"Vomit。。。。。 "I held back and didn't let myself vomit. But the rancid smell mixed with the lingering scent of chrysanthemums kept blowing at me, and I wanted to vomit at the same time, but I also felt dizzy. I covered my nose with my sleeve and endured my nausea, and finally managed to reach the mound. "Wow~~~!!" The scene in front of me made me exclaim, I quickly turned around, never wanted to look at it again, and at the same time, the strong feeling of nausea could not be suppressed, and I vomited.

Haoyan's voice came from the forest not far away: "Xiaoxi, how are you? He seemed to hear my exclamations and hurried towards me.

I sat weakly on the ground with my back to the mound, adjusted my breathing, and shook my hand at Haoyan who was trotting over. Hao Yan trotted to my side, squatted down, put my right hand on his shoulder, raised his hand to hold me horizontally, and walked to the shade of the tree in the distance.

"Are you feeling better now?" said Haoyan gently patting my head.

"Hmm. I hadn't recovered from the sudden princess hug just now, and I answered in a low voice.

"You wait here, I'll come when I go. Haoyan stood up, turned to the direction of the mound and said.

"No, don't go over. Over there..... Yes..... I reflexively grabbed Haoyan's hand and said, but at the same time, I felt that it seemed inappropriate to grab a man's hand like this, so I immediately let go of my hand.

"Is there a corpse?" said Haoyan with a frown, putting his hand in his trouser pocket.

"Eh?? how do you know?" I asked, surprised in disbelief.

"It can attract so many flies to gather, only corpses, not lions, tigers, wolves, or human corpses, but this is the first time I have seen such a large scale of flies. Haoyan said with a serious expression.

"It was a blonde-haired corpse in a white wedding dress. Vomit...... "I thought of the withered, sallow-yellow corpse lying in the coffin, with all the bright red entrails on the body exposed, and it was crawling with countless white writhing corpse insects, and many flies were constantly flying on it. I couldn't help but feel like throwing up again.

"Don't talk about it, rest here. I'll see it myself, don't worry, I'm used to this kind of thing, and I won't be as uncomfortable as you. After speaking, Haoyan didn't take a step and walked towards the mound.

I leaned weakly against the tree pole and looked at Haoyan from afar. He first walked around the mound to observe his surroundings. Then, crouching beside the mound of earth, he carefully observed the corpse, and gently flicked the corpse with the long, thick twig that he had picked up beside him, and did not seem to be disgusted by the flies and corpse insects around him. It took a while for Haoyan to come back from the mound.

"How's it going?" I asked hurriedly.

"Did you have that mound when you came here the other day?" asked Haoyan thoughtfully.

"Nope. I shook my head, "Because I'm here for the sake of painting, I've deliberately walked around." ”

"Well, I see. Haoyan stretched out his hand to me and said, "Can you stand up?" Let's go back to church and wait for Singh. ”

"That... Corpse... Who could it be?" I felt better after resting, and I stood up holding Haoyan's hand, and then asked.

"I guess... It's our heroine this time, Miss Primla. Haoyan sighed and said.

"Ah!? Miss Primla!?? hasn't she been dead for a long time。。。。。? I raised my voice and looked at Haoyan with wide eyes in surprise.

"This is detailed, I won't know until Singh comes over, he is an expert in this area. Hao Yan explained, "I guess it's some kind of magical enchantment that saved her body, and this enchantment was recently destroyed, causing her body to decompose rapidly. ”

Hearing this, I was silent and looked Haoyan up and down carefully. I realized that Haoyan's hands were slender but very strong, and from the movements he had just run over, as well as the last time he carried me back to the villa, it showed that he had done long-term intensity training. I couldn't help but ask, "Who are you and Singh? Probably not ordinary journalists, right?"

"Hehe, didn't you tell you yesterday? I thought you had guessed. Haoyan said self-deprecatingly, "We are the soul hunters and vampire hunters of this town. ”
