Chapter 15, Ghost Doll
The Balkan Peninsula is located between the three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa, and is a land bridge connecting Europe and Asia, with many countries on the peninsula, coupled with various historical reasons, the mutual influence of thorny issues such as ethnic contradictions, religious conflicts, cultural differences, border disputes, and political differences.
Due to its unique geographical location, European countries have never let go of the struggle in it, and it is regarded as a place where soldiers must fight, which also makes the international relations of the Balkan Peninsula complex and changeable, known as the "powder keg", and its internal turmoil.
In June 1914, the "Sarajevo Incident", in which the Austrian crown prince was assassinated in Yugoslavia, was the trigger, and the "July Diplomatic Crisis" occurred in the Balkans, followed by the outbreak of World War I.
As time passed, the melody of peace permeated the world, but instead of settling down, the Balkans were surging with undercurrents and conflicts.
In the middle of the chaotic Balkan Peninsula, deep in the ancient Rhodope Mountains, lies an abandoned military base, abandoned in World War I.
But now, with the arrival of a new owner, it has been revitalized and belongs to its own vitality.
Leaving Changchun, Anne led Di Cheng and them on a plane to the north, and after several twists and turns, they finally landed in this remodeled base.
"Brother, where is this? How it feels weird. Stepping off the plane, Yin Yin, who insisted on following Di Cheng for the last time, looked around curiously.
High walls, iron nets, watchtowers, arrow towers, and a large number of cold men standing with guns, this is not so much a base as a prison, a heavily guarded prison, but apart from these many over-guarded personnel, there is no trace of anyone else.
When Di Cheng and the others entered the base, almost all the vigilantes cast their eyes, looking them up and down, and their curiosity was self-evident.
"Miss Anne, what did you want to do with us here?" Di Cheng looked at his surroundings, the gazes of those guards made him very uncomfortable, and ...... Looking around at the various low buildings, there were several extremely sharp glances that made him wary. In fact, he didn't see those people, but he really felt it.
It seems that the so-called "non-humans" here are not just himself and Yang Jing.
"In order to keep an eye on your whereabouts and facilitate timely and accurate contact, we need to implant a tracking device in your body." Anne also looked at a few of the low buildings and answered truthfully.
"Implantation? Where to plant? ”
"The implantation of the subcutaneous tissue in the ribs is only a device the size of a mung bean, and it will not affect you in the slightest. If there is any unexpected situation in the future, you don't want me to get my whereabouts, so you can completely rip it out yourself. However, it is best to let it stay during our cooperation, and if there are special circumstances, I can help you in time. ”
"That's it?" Di Cheng raised his eyebrows, implanted a tracker, and used it to travel thousands of miles to the junction of Eurasia?
"I have seen the battle between you and Xu Yun and Sang Ke that day, and I have carefully studied it many times, if my vision is good, you should have a very serious injury on your body now. I don't doubt your ability to recover, but I want to get you back to your full glory in the shortest possible time, so that you can better meet the tasks ahead. Anne's amorous smile shows charm and temptation, I have to say that this woman's conditions are quite good, charming and intellectual, enchanting and implicitly cold and hard, it is easy to arouse men to conquer **.
"Brother, are you injured?" Yin Yin was taken aback, it seemed that Di Cheng was no different from usual.
"Don't listen to her nonsense, you look like I'm seriously injured? It was only a minor injury, and it was possible to recover after two days of rest. Di Cheng pretended to shrug his shoulders easily, but having said that, he still followed. He was indeed seriously injured in the battle that day, Xu Yun left no less than twenty knife wounds on his body, and Sanke's fist that was enough to smash the bison's head was also "taken care of" many times on him, to say that he was not injured, it was simply impossible.
"I'm bringing you here because there are the best doctors here who can guarantee that you will recover in an extreme period of time and that there will be no sequelae. But I need to warn you, when you come here, just take care of your injuries, don't ask too much about the rest, and don't worry about anything else, otherwise it won't do you any good. ”
"How many people are here besides us?"
There was a slight pause in her footsteps, and Anne looked up at Di Cheng. "No wonder it can make the Southeast Asian underground martial arts world tremble, your senses are not ordinary. Fifteen, fifteen are still recuperating, and the rest are either assigned to other areas or have already gone on missions. ”
"Fifteen, fifteen people of our rank?" Di Cheng and Yang Jing exchanged glances and continued to follow.
As they walked, their eyes narrowed almost at the same time, and they all fixed on a short figure in the corner of the square. It was a seemingly ordinary child, about one meter two or three tall, a thin body, a cute and well-behaved appearance, and a childish appearance, at most seven or eight years old. The skin is very white and smooth, the kind of white and tender that is enough to arouse the girl's jealousy, the eyes are smart, and there is a little confusion and shyness.
But for some reason, the moment he saw this child, Di Cheng's heart suddenly beat, and he felt an inexplicable threat. The child sat on the stone like that, holding a large stuffed bear in his arms, well-behaved and shy, but after making eye contact with the child, Di Cheng was absolutely sure that it was threatening...... It came from him.
What is even more surprising and vigilant is that the square is full of guards, almost ten steps away from another, but there is no one within more than 50 meters around the child, empty, and outside the circle, those seemingly cold men show a look of fear and even fear, the source of fear should be the child.
Looking at Di Cheng for a moment, the child tilted his head, grinned, and showed two little tiger teeth, if he didn't feel that strange threat, Di Cheng would also praise this child for being very cute.
"Ah, what a cute child." Yin Yin also discovered the existence of the child, and a bright light suddenly appeared in her eyes.
"Go, don't mess with him." Anne's eyes jumped slightly, and she hurriedly reminded Di Cheng.
"Who is he?" Intuition told Di Cheng that the man was definitely not a child, but he couldn't figure out why he looked like this.
"People like you, but when it comes to being vicious and vicious, you are far inferior." Anne didn't seem to be willing to mention this "child", and urged Di Cheng to hurry up and follow.
At this time, the sweetly smiling child suddenly pouted, as if he had been wronged. "Sister, it's not good to speak ill of people behind your back."
"Little one, what's your name, tell Grandpa." Yang Jing smiled, took out a candy cube out of nowhere, and threw it at the child's feet.
originally thought that the child would be furious and rush towards them, Yang Jing's purpose was to see what he was capable of.
Not only was the child not only annoyed or angry, but also happily picked up the candy and put it in his mouth, chewing and saying: "Thank you, grandpa, my name is Yaya, remember to come to me when you have time in the future, play with me, Yaya is very boring." ”
Yang Jing restrained his smile and slowly straightened up, his expression a little solemn.
"Let's go, don't mess with him yet." Di Cheng looked at the child deeply and motioned for Yang Jing to follow.
Under Anne's arrangement, Di Cheng and the three of them lived in a low building on the east side of the base, although it looked dilapidated from the outside, but the inside was bright and clean, although not to mention how luxurious, but also very clean, the kind of cleanliness that made people feel comfortable.
"Who's that kid?" In the room, Di Cheng asked again. The little boy was by no means simple, otherwise Anne, who had been calm and smiling since she saw her, would not have behaved so aberrantly.
Anne hesitated slightly, but under Di Cheng's eyes, she exhaled softly, walked to the window, looked at the little boy who was still sitting quietly below, and said: "There is a record in your ancient Chinese folk medicine that after people are subjected to extreme grief and stimulation, their body functions will stop growing, and they will always remain in the same condition as they were at that time, including body shape, appearance, and voice. If you look at the history of the world, there are many people who have suffered tragedies, and there are many people who are particularly tragic, but this has never happened.
I was very interested in this account, but subconsciously I only thought it was an imaginary theory, and it was not until after the launch of the Skynet Project that we found him near Shennongjia in China, and it was only after getting the information that I realized that such a miraculous thing does exist in the world, and I also understood that it was not that the record was inaccurate, but that it did not reach the level of 'extreme grief'.
I don't want to talk about what happened to him when he was ten years old, but that incident kept his body in this state forever, and that encounter completely distorted his psyche, twisted to ......"
Anne's face was already very ugly, and after a long while, she said, "That plush doll of his, is a human ...... There are three kinds of materials made of scalp and hair: human eyeballs, teeth, and ...... He dried human jerky himself.
He doesn't eat anything else for three meals a day, so he eats human jerky in stuffed animals! He's a pervert, a complete pervert! ”
Human flesh? Di Cheng gasped, even with their concentration, he felt a tingling of his scalp, and he couldn't hide his horror at the well-behaved and cute child below and the rag doll he was holding in his arms.
No wonder Anne is like a gaffe, but the contrast between the boy's appearance and behavior is too strong, too strong to be able to bear by humans. Who could believe that this cute little child could be so cruel and vicious, and who would believe that that cute plush doll was actually made of human scalp, and there was ...... in it? Human flesh and human eyes.
"When he kills, he rarely lets the other party die happily, he will torture slowly, use all kinds of methods, without stopping, let the other party die slowly in excruciating pain, and his highest record is to let a person live for 87 hours in constant torture. For a variety of reasons, people give the nickname Ghost Doll. ”
