Chapter 140: The Human Laboratory
"You want to backtrack? Qin Yiren, you are really getting more and more bottomless. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"Yes, sir, even if I have no bottom line, then tell me, why do you suddenly have to change back to your original form?"
I've asked my husband again and again, why do you have to bet on this? But the gentleman would not say anything.
As far as I know, it takes a lot of mana for a youkai to turn into a human form, but Mr. shouldn't have to worry about that. He once said that every breath of his existence was cultivation. Then the only explanation is that, without my knowledge, something happened to Mr. that made him have to rein in his mana.
The gentleman's voice disappeared from my mind, and he was again resisting my question in this silent way.
Forget it, since Mr. doesn't say it, I won't ask anymore. We always have this tacit understanding, and we always know something when we should know.
The two people next to me fought a battle without gunpowder, and I finally survived the last class.
"I'm going back to City B now, are you sure you want to follow me?"
"Yes."
"Meow."
Now Zhang Tong and her cat have reached a tacit understanding, as long as Zhang Tong opens his mouth to say "yes", then his cat will also follow the "meow".
Although Zhang Tong kept pestering me to ask me about the sudden disappearance of the headless monster, which bothered me a little, I really had no resistance to the good-looking and cute little guy, so I let Zhang Tong follow.
The car had already driven a long way, and Zhang Tong suddenly answered a call. It sounded like it was a call from a colleague who said that there had been a murder somewhere in City A and that he was going to hurry back.
I thought he should give up following me, but he came up and tried to drag me away.
If Zhang Tong insists on this, then there will inevitably be another fight between him and Ji Ling, and in order to avoid this, I have to follow him to see it first.
My dad's company didn't solve it in a day or two, but this murder case caught my attention. Through the phone call of Zhang Tong just now, I know that this murder case is not a simple murder case. Because it is said that the deceased died in a strange way, with pale skin, and almost all the blood in his body had been drained, which reminded me of the blood-sucking monster that the skull said.
In this world, no one is innocent, and the dead are not necessarily innocent. But I think that within the limits of my ability, I have to do my duty as a human being.
It sounds like I'm on the moral high ground, but no matter what others think, I have to do what I think I should do and stick to what I think I should do.
Even if I am powerful enough to control the power of life and death of others in the future, some things in my bones must not be discarded. That's what I learned after the last villa massacre.
However, even though I was mentally prepared, when we drove to the scene of the murder, I was still shocked by what I saw.
It was in a damp basement with no light everywhere. When we went in, we seemed to smell the instant noodles mixed with the smell of foot odor. Ji Ling handed over a handkerchief and motioned for me to cover my mouth and nose with it.
There was no strong smell of perfume on the handkerchief, only a faint fragrance, which dispelled the discomfort caused by those unpleasant smells, and I continued to follow Zhang Tong.
In the closed and narrow basement, more than 20 bunk beds are densely placed. There is no furniture, and this place that makes people feel depressed is actually the residence of more than 20 people.
Some of them were still lying on their beds, and they heard our movements, but they were still motionless. Some people were lying there eating instant noodles, and the instant noodles had run out of heat, but the movements of their mouths and hands stopped as if they were frozen. Others sit on the ground or lean against the wall, but they all have one thing in common: they are as motionless as sculptures.
At this time, a policeman accidentally touched the rope nailed to the wall to dry clothes, and as soon as the rope was loosened, the clothes on it fell and fell on a nearby person, who fell to the ground with a bang, and smashed up a cloud of dust.
The rat was frightened by the movement and scurried around, eventually burrowing into a suitcase.
I've never seen rats that big, almost half the size of a basketball, and I wonder if they're all fine.
By the dim light, I took a closer look and realized that these people were all dead. Their faces were bloodless, and their skin was wrinkled, like bones covered in human skin.
I followed Zhang Tong and watched him fiddle with the corpses of these people.
Nothing surprisingly, they all died of dried blood, without any wounds on their bodies.
The police officers were busy with their own business, and only Zhang Tong and I focused on the black hole in the wall.
Although Zhang Tong couldn't see the black hole, he noticed the difference in this wall.
"What can you see?"
"Meow—"
"What you can see is what I see."
"Don't play dumb, we've seen it three times. You know what I'm bringing you here for, I don't care what your purpose is, you have to meet my needs first. ”
"Meow—"
That being said, without him, ordinary people would not have been able to enter this murder scene, but the point is, I am not an ordinary person.
But for the cat's sake, I'll help him this time.
I pretended to fumble around the wall for a while, but in fact I used my mana to open the black hole and destroy the wall as a cover.
Watching the wall turn into pieces and smash down, Zhang Tong's face was a little strange.
"How did you do that?"
"There's probably a mechanism here, and I just happened to run into it."
Zhang Tong glanced at me and walked through the collapsed wall first.
The other side of the wall seemed to connect to another space, which was completely different from the basement we had been to before.
It's like a small science lab, with all sorts of shiny instruments glowing with the cold glow of metal. Pharmaceuticals, Test Tubes, Microscopes...... All kinds of scientific instruments are available.
But that's not the most impressive.
What caught all of our attention was the water tank in front of us. Those tanks were still filled with oxygen and bubbling, but inside the tanks were corpses.
Children, the elderly, the healthy, the lack of organs, all kinds of corpses, we feel chills in our hearts.
It's a human laboratory.
In the face of such a scene, even if the average person is not frightened and screams, there will be a variety of emotions. However, Zhang Tong was not among them, his face was expressionless, calmly probing for clues.
