Chapter 15: Monsters
In the same dark night, there was silence in the city.
The ever-falling snowflakes covered everything in pale colors and swallowed up the noise of the world, making everything so silent.
On the streets, which are sparsely populated due to heavy snowfall, people hurriedly walk on snow and thin ice, weaving together sparse crowds.
In this cold world where the silence could not even be heard, in the darkness, someone spasmed in pain.
In the narrow space between the floors, a middle-aged man covered in alcohol was rolling in pain, struggling to choke his neck and screaming silently in pain.
The painful fingers unconsciously scratched at everything around them, scratching at the cracks in the solid stone bricks, dripping with blood.
As if this painful outpouring could ease the hunger in his shell that was about to engulf his soul, he choked with difficulty, aimed at the edges and corners of the stone in front of him, and slammed into it.
Bang!
Intense pain erupted from his forehead, and blood-stained tears oozed from the corners of his cracked eyes and ran over his cheeks, which he had scratched beyond recognition, and turned red.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As if he was about to smash his head to pieces in this uncontrollable hunger, such a cruel act of self-harm continued.
Again, again, again...... Until the cracked slits covered the entire skull, and the torn wounds rolled over like hungry wriggling lips.
Finally, he could no longer suppress the crazy hunger in his heart, and fell to the ground, letting out a hoarse wail.
A tear silently fell from the corner of his eye and fell into the melting snow, smearing the filthy mire with a shocking scarlet.
The last shred of human reason was consumed from his soul by the hungry thirst, and the soul in the original shell had been consumed by 'hunger'.
The non-human hound spirit opened its eyes from his shell, sending a strange roar from his throat.
Crawling through the snow on all fours, the 'monster' opened its scarlet eyes and looked at this strange and familiar world, and finally smelled a hint of familiarity.
Is that...... The taste of the World Tree? It's so faint that you can barely smell it.
But definitely in a corner of here! Absolute!
A hideous smile appeared on his scratched cheeks, and a strange hehe sound came from his throat,
A beam of light pierced the darkness and struck him in the face.
"Are you alright? So much blood?! ”
The patrolling policeman couldn't help but be startled when he looked at the 'man' who was crawling on the ground, covered in blood and wounds.
With a worried look, he fumbled for the phone in his pocket: "Don't be afraid, wait, I'll call you an ambulance." ”
In the dazzling light, the 'monster' couldn't help but cover his scarlet eyes, but the corners of his mouth hooked up a hideous smile.
The taste of the food......
It had just woken up from its slumber, thirsty, hungry, hungry.
Even if it has devoured a soul, it cannot fill its insatiable 'thirst', so ......
In the next moment, screams of pain and fear rang out, and then abruptly stopped as the throat was torn apart.
The sound of devouring flesh rang out in the darkness, and at the top of the level, an emaciated black shadow smiled at the 'dogs' in the alley.
In the cold wind whistling, the man who was called 'Ghost Cut' by Yao Huche smiled hoarsely and whispered to himself: "With it, I am about to find you." ”
……
Three hours later, Wang Yin, who was pulled out of the bed by three emergency calls, finally arrived at the scene in a hurry.
Wrapped in his coat in the cold wind, he yawned a little tiredly as he crossed the makeshift cordon.
Then, from the time he was at the scene of the crime, for the next fifteen minutes, he was crouching in the corner and vomiting.
It wasn't until he vomited all his supper and couldn't vomit anymore that he once again endured the nausea in his stomach and covered his mouth and returned to the scene of the crime.
Everyone's expressions were pale, and it was obvious that they were not very happy.
The only person who could remain calm in the face of the pile of remains that used to be human was the forensic doctor who was crouching in a pool of blood and picking at the pile of leftover bones and minced meat.
It's not uncomfortable, he's still humming a song.
"The man with the horse pole ~ You are majestic and majestic~"
In an out-of-tune voice, he used tweezers to dig out a piece of flesh and blood: "Ha, new discovery, half-amputated nail ......"
Shoving the tattered nail into a small pouch, he proceeded to sort through the pile of 'junk' that was so discernible that he couldn't see what it was.
With the help of two assistants, he reassembled the ground with minced flesh and bones in fifteen minutes into a rudimentary human form that could no longer be seen in its original form.
The detectives, who were obviously sleep-deprived, endured the feeling of vomiting and whispered and talked about something.
Wang Yin leaned over, his expression still twitching involuntarily, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?" ”
"Two hours ago, two students who went out to surf the Internet from the school called the police." The policeman, who knew the case better, whispered: "It was already like this at that time. ”
Recalling the tragic scene again, Wang Yin's expression distorted into a strange appearance, and he sighed in a low voice: "Who is the victim?" ”
For a moment, everyone was silent, they exchanged glances, and the last person stood up helplessly and whispered: "It should be a patrol officer, find this from the scene of the crime." ”
As he spoke, he gave Wang Yin a broken document sealed in a plastic bag, and he could vaguely see the photo on it, which made Wang Yin fall into a daze for an instant.
This man had been seen in the unit during the day. They didn't know each other well and didn't say much, but this sudden death made Wang Yin a little unacceptable.
Wang Yin raised his head in a daze, and asked in a low voice that was a little distracted: "He still has a son who is in high school...... Did his relatives know? ”
Everyone was silent, except for one who shook his head slowly.
The smell of blood wafted from the cold wind again, turning into a disgusting sweetness in the icy temperatures.
Wang Yin leaned against the wall weakly and whispered, "What is this, what's going on?" Exercise! ”
Angry, Wang Yin kicked the stones on the ground, and the flying stones tumbled in the air, hitting the empty garbage cans, and the echoes of the hollow sounded.
"Is it okay to be a little quieter?"
Behind him, the forensic doctor in a white coat slowly stood up from the pool of blood and let out a long breath.
Looking at Wang Yin's dull eyes, he sighed in a low voice: "Let's mourn." ”
Taking off his blood-stained gloves, he looked left and right and said, "I'll go back to the unit to write a report first, who will send me?" ”
After a final glance at the scene, Wang Yin said in a low voice, "I'll send you." ”
He didn't want to stay here any longer, afraid to recall the look on that man's face.
The forensic doctor smiled and opened his car door unceremoniously: "It's okay, it's troublesome." ”
Sitting in the driver's seat, Wang Yin inhaled cold air, took a deep breath in silence, and started the car.
Amid the sound of the engine turning, the forensic doctor looked at his uncertain face in the light and shadow, and said, "Do you want to ask something?" ”
Wang Yin was silent for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Do you have eyebrows?" ”
"Sixty percent of the flesh on the body has been gnawed off, and there is only one ...... left in the eyeball," the forensic doctor said halfway, looking at Wang Yin's ugly face, stopped the description of the scene, and concluded: "It looks like some kind of large dog, and more and more people have raised large fighting dogs in the past two years, you know." ”
"That nail ......" Wang Yin was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "I saw it, that nail ...... What's going on? ”
"I don't know." The medical examiner replied, "Probably the victim accidentally broke it off when he was defending himself, right?" There are too few clues, you know, it's the job of a criminal investigator. ”
Wang Yin seemed to be tired of these cases, nodded silently, and stopped asking.
The car stopped at the door of the police station, and the middle-aged forensic doctor pushed the door and knocked on his window.
Looking at Wang Yin's pale face, he whispered: "Don't think about it, drink some hot water, and go back to sleep." ”
Wang Yin nodded lightly: "I know, I'll go back first, and I'll be on duty tomorrow morning." ”
"Take a leave of absence, you're not in good shape."
Wang Yin shook his head: "Don't worry, I can hold it." ”
Slowly raising the window, the engine of the police car made a low sound again, carrying Wang Yin and disappearing around the corner of the street.
At the moment of cornering, the anger in Wang Yin's eyes finally erupted irrepressibly, and his fist slammed heavily on the steering wheel.
He knew, that guy ...... It's lying!
After more than ten years in this business, he could see that the newly transferred forensic doctor was hiding something from him.
"Damn it!"
He growled irritably, his hands tensed as if he were about to crush the steering wheel.
After finally calming down, there was no longer irritability in Wang Yin's expression, only precipitated persistence and anger.
In the ever-changing mottled light and shadow, he whispered to himself:
"Don't let Lao Tzu find out, miscellaneous!"
……
In the cold snow, the forensic doctor under the street lamp watched Wang Yin's car leave, but did not turn to enter the gate behind him.
As if he understood something, he smiled helplessly, pulled out the phone from his pocket, and broadcast.
"Hey, it's my ......"
