"Tiger lieutenant. ”

When he saw Lianghu walking into the underground cell, Yue Zheng stood up, looked at the other old man who looked like a barefoot doctor, and replied quietly:

"I don't know what's going on, but as soon as I was locked in, I found myself dizzy and unbearable with hunger, so I called the guards, which made you laugh. ”

"That should be when your body began to change, and it lost a lot of qi and blood, but I forgot to remind you. ”

Liang Hu waved his hand indifferently, and then pointed to the old man beside him, and went straight to the topic:

"This is the most senior physician in our Huaran County Demon Elimination Hall, Gu Jinping Gu Lao. I brought him here specifically for you to have a physical and mental check-up. ”

It's so fast.

Yue Zheng, who thought that he would be left to dry for a day or two, was a little surprised, knowing that he would have to pass this level sooner or later, he nodded without much hesitation:

"So how am I going to cooperate with you?"

The doctor known as Gu Lao ran over half a hundred, his hair was gray, and his face was full of wrinkles, but his eyes were bright, and he looked at Yue Zheng in the prison back and forth sharply:

"Young man, it seems that you are in good spirits, and now you don't have to do anything, just lie in bed and don't move. ”

"Understood. ”

Knowing that he was still counted as a half dangerous person, Yue Zheng didn't say much, and cooperated and lay back on the hard bed against the wall, and then the guard of the prison stepped forward and opened the prison door, and Deputy Lieutenant Tiger and Gu Lao, who was carrying the medical box on his back, walked in together.

Yue Zheng tilted his head, and when he looked at it, he saw Gu Lao walking to the head of the bed, and began to carefully examine his closed eyes, while Deputy Lieutenant Tiger was also staring at him tightly as if he was afraid of some accidents, as if he was ready to make a move at any time.

"Sure enough, it's an evil eye that has just grown up and is still in a dormant state, which is also one of the common mutant species. ”

In the dim prison, Gu Lao carefully studied Yue Zheng's eyebrows for a while, then touched and inspected them with leather gloves, and sighed softly:

"Young man, how do you feel?"

After thinking about it, Yue Zheng said honestly: "I don't feel it, I just feel that this thing that grows out doesn't seem to belong to me, and I can hardly feel its existence if I don't touch it with my hands." ”

Gu Lao nodded, opened the medical box he was carrying, and took out a silver needle and a palm-sized jade compass:

"I'm going to take some blood from you to test for contamination, don't be nervous. ”

As the words fell, Yue Zheng felt a stinging pain around the third eye in the center of his eyebrows, and then saw Gu Lao holding a blood-stained silver needle on the compass, as if he was discerning something.

Immediately afterwards, without waiting for Yue Zheng to ask, I saw Gu Lao suddenly snap his fingers and tap the jade compass, and the compass suddenly made an ethereal and pleasant ringing sound in the vibration, and Gu Lao continued to sound the jade compass close to Yue Zheng's forehead, and said in a deep voice:

"Concentrate and listen to whether there are other voices in your head, this is related to the comfort of your life, and don't leave out anything unusual!"

What's going on?

Yue Zheng was a little puzzled, but he still closed his eyes and concentrated according to Gu Lao's request, and after half a minute, he didn't feel anything other than the vibration and cold breath of the jade compass.

With such a strange gesture, Yue Zheng opened his eyes and blinked: "I'm sorry Gu Lao, I didn't feel anything abnormal. ”

"Is that ......?"

Gu Lao took back the jade compass and looked up at Deputy Lieutenant Hu, his expression on his meticulous and serious face eased a little:

"This young man did only have a slight level of pollution, which was much better than I expected. Although he has begun to mutate, he can be regarded as a rare good seedling. ”

Knowing that the inspection had ended, Yue Zheng sat up suddenly, touched his eyebrows and couldn't wait to ask:

"Is this thing called the Evil Eye? Is there anyone else who has the same mutation as me?"

Gu Lao packed up the medical box, nodded and said:

"The mutations brought by those things are strange and numerous, and the evil eyes are also one of the common types, at best, the number or the parts of growth are different, I have seen a mutant who has developed to maturity five years ago, he has no less than dozens of evil eyes on one of his arms, and can even pollute and radiate, compared to your level, it is not worth mentioning. ”

Dozens of eyes on your arms?

Yue Zheng, who was somewhat dense phobia, was slightly frightened, and then there was a chill.

Imagine a horrific scene with eyes on a man's arm?

Yue Zheng even thought for the first time, if he didn't control the development and spread of the eyebrow change in the future, would he become similar to the person Gu Lao said, with eyes growing on his head and face?

"Don't worry, boy, that situation is just an exception, as long as you control it well, you won't become like that. ”

As if he could see what Yue Zheng was thinking, Deputy Lieutenant Tiger suddenly said:

"Gu Lao, I'm tired of you, let me talk to this kid next. ”

Gu Lao nodded, glanced at Yue Zheng, carried the medical box without saying anything, turned around and left with the prison guards.

When the footsteps were completely far away, Deputy Lieutenant Tiger stood with his hands in his hands, looked at Yue Zheng and said lightly:

"Okay boy, if you have any questions now, I can answer them for you. ”

Yue Zheng, who had long had a lot of questions lingering in his heart, took a deep breath, relied on the reason for his memory loss, and asked bluntly:

"Lieutenant Tiger, I want to know, what exactly I encountered in my dreams? Do they only appear in dreams? Since the Demon Slayer specializes in dealing with this kind of incident, he must have a lot of unknown information, right?"

"You're right......"

Deputy Lieutenant Tiger was silent for a moment, and said slowly:

"It's been a hundred years since the birth and development of the demon slayer, and we naturally know what it is that lurks in the nightmare to spread terror and madness. In fact, over the years, there have been a series of terrorist incidents in various cities and places, and it is simply impossible to completely hide it from the world, so in order to avoid huge panic and subvert the social order, most of the time we can only try our best to cover up the existence of those things and minimize the panic of ordinary people, so it is normal for you to not know the real inside story. ”

They?

Yue Zheng's heart suddenly moved:

"What are they?"

As if talking about the existence of some taboo, Deputy Lieutenant Tiger's face was cold:

"They're not ghosts, but they're far more terrifying than ghosts. We call them ...... Ghosts. ”

"Ghosts and gods who don't ask the common people to ask ghosts!"
