Chapter 679: Dream Meeting
Judging from the current situation, Liu Xing feels that he can only choose to believe in Dior now, even if he feels that Dior is more likely to cheat himself.
So, Liu Xing nodded and said, "Okay, now I have a question for you, that is, where did the ghoul statue you hold in that photo Turner took of you?" ”
Dio sighed and said seriously: "I knew Officer Chris you would ask this question, because that ghoul statue is the culprit of all this, Turner left directly after taking a picture of us, and then Locke wanted to buy the ghoul statue in my hand, after all, that ghoul statue is still quite cool in the eyes of children, but I also rejected Locke at the time, because I also like the ghoul statue, and since I put that ghoul statue in my room, I have nightmares every day, and the content of the nightmare is naturally related to the ghoul statue. ”
"So, I was going to throw away the ghoul statue, after all, who can withstand the nightmare every day, but at that time, Locke and Tim happened to come to play with me, and saw that I was going to throw away the ghoul statue, so Locke asked again if I wanted to sell the ghoul statue to him, and I naturally told Locke what happened to me in the past few days, but Locke, who didn't believe in evil, still wanted the ghoul statue, so I finally gave the ghoul statue to Locke."
"After the past week, I asked Locke every day how he was doing, and although Locke seemed a little sluggish in the first two days, he returned to normal later, and Locke also told me that he had subdued the demon that was lodged in the ghoul statue, but later I learned that Locke was also tormented by nightmares, but in order to save his face, Locke simply threw the ghoul statue into the storage room, and if Tim and I were going to his house to play, he would take the ghoul statue out."
More than ten years have passed like this, Locke because he is going to develop in other places, so when he was packing his luggage, he suddenly thought of the ghoul statue, so Locke took the ghoul statue to his new home together, and the most important thing is that Locke also put the ghoul statue at the head of the bed, and wanted to try the nightmare feeling again, the result is of course conceivable, after a few days of nightmares, Locke found that even if he threw the ghoul statue in the trash, the ghoul statue would appear in his living room the next day, And if Locke hadn't kept the ghoul statue in his room, Locke wouldn't have slept anyway. ”
Eventually, Locke found that his body was getting stranger and stranger, simply put, he found that he was more and more like the ghoul statue, and Locke began to have a desire to eat people, which made the frightened Locke immediately go to one of his friends, a mystical who was still studying for a doctorate at Miskatonik University, and then found out that he was cursed by the ghoul statue.
"Then Locke's friend tried to help Locke lift the curse, originally at the beginning of the ghoul curse on Locke's body was effectively suppressed, but halfway because Locke's friend and his mentor had an accident while exploring a pyramid in South America, so Locke's friend has been missing since then, and the ghoul curse that was originally suppressed on Locke's body broke out instantly, and Locke completely became a ghoul, but most of the time Locke can still maintain a human form."
"In the years when he first became a ghoul, although Locke also had to eat human flesh to satisfy his hunger that could never be satisfied, but at that time Locke only needed to eat the corpses of the dead, but after a few years, Locke had to eat a few living hearts every year to maintain his human form and human will, and from then on Locke became a bloody handprint killer."
"As for the ghoul statue, I don't know when it disappeared after Locke started eating the hearts of living people, because Locke had moved to other places at that time, and the ghoul statue was not carried with him, so when Locke remembered this, the ghoul statue was gone, and as for whether the ghoul statue was stolen or ran away on its own, it is unknown."
After listening to what Dio said, Liu Xing couldn't help but suspect that Dio had transferred his experience to Locke's head, but it seemed that the ghoul statue should not have been sold by Dio to the missing family of five.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing continued to ask: "I see, so do you know how many ghoul murders have happened in London recently?" ”
"What? Isn't Locke still in France? Dio said with a frown.
Seeing Dior's reaction, Liu Xing knew that Dior really didn't know that the ghoul statue was now in the hands of the family of five.
Of course, it is not ruled out that Dior has been obsessed with acting skills in his leisure over the years, and has the strength to impact the Oscar statuette.
Liu Xing thought about it, but decided to tell Dior about the situation of the family of five.
Dio was silent for a moment before he spoke: "I didn't expect that ghoul statue to find a host again, it seems that your London police are going to be busy again, after all, these are five ghouls, although they may not have completely become ghouls now, but their strength is still not to be underestimated." ”
Liu Xing nodded and said seriously: "So, Mr. Dior, do you know what weaknesses this ghoul has?" It is certainly unrealistic to make peace with those ghouls now, so our London police can only choose to kill them, but although I have not fought with ghouls, I have also heard that these ghouls are very strong in combat, and pistols can hardly cause effective damage to them, so I hope that Mr. Dior, you can provide the weaknesses of these ghouls to help our London police eliminate the threat. ”
Dio shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "It seems that Officer Chris is trying to make me surrender, but this is also the way it should be, but I have to state one thing in advance now, the weaknesses of the so-called ghouls I told you are not verified, because these are all the experiences I have accumulated in getting along with ghouls for so many years, after all, you police should also be able to guess that the Flower Cemetery is indeed the territory of the Necroshal Sect, and there are also several ghouls entrenched in the depths of the Flower Cemetery, I've had at least one relationship with those ghouls, and some of them have even become my friends. ”
"First of all, the ghoul's skin is very tough, and it is also covered with a layer of mucus with a cushioning and lubricating effect, so the police pistol used by your police is almost ineffective against the ghoul, because the bullet of the police pistol is not very powerful, either it can't shoot through the ghoul's skin, or it simply deflects the trajectory because of the mucus on the ghoul's skin, in short, your police need to use more powerful guns to deal with ghouls."
"And because ghouls have that layer of slime on their bodies for protection, you don't expect to be able to use a flamethrower against ghouls, because it basically can't hurt ghouls; In addition, although ghouls are more accustomed to using their sharp claws against enemies, ghouls will also use various magic to deal with enemies, and ghouls who use magic are much more difficult to deal with than ghouls who use claws, so to be on the safe side, I personally recommend that you police show weakness when dealing with ghouls and lure ghouls into melee combat with you. ”
"As for the ghouls' other weaknesses, they are basically not much different from us humans, after all, the ghouls' physical fitness is only stronger than that of humans, so your police only need to use the firepower advantage to suppress the ghouls to easily win, but the ghouls will generally act in dark and damp places, so it is very likely that your police will not have the opportunity to easily suppress the ghouls, so it is best for your police to bring more grenades when chasing ghouls."
Liu Xing nodded, although what Dio said had almost no reference value for him, he still had to pretend to be like this.
But what Liu Xing cares about the most is that Dior has also seen other ghouls in the Flower Cemetery.
Dio seemed to see Liu Xing's doubts, so he said with a smile: "To be honest, although ghouls and us humans are on the opposite side, there are also some ghouls who have a very good attitude towards humans, especially those ghouls who are originally humans, and some humans and ghoul hybrids. ”
"Half-breeds? Aren't ghouls reproductively isolated from humans? Liu Xing pretended to be surprised and said.
Dio nodded and said, "That's right, humans and ghouls are indeed not reproductively isolated, so half of the ghouls in the Flower Cemetery are mixed human and ghoul, and they have lived as humans for decades after birth, and they are no different from normal people." ”
Liu Xing nodded, his brows furrowed.
If it weren't for Dior's reminder, Liu Xing would have forgotten that there is such a possibility, that is, Dior is actually a ghoul half-blood!
If Dio is really a ghoul hybrid, then a lot of things can be better explained.
After pretending to ponder for a moment, Liu Xing said to Dior: "So, Mr. Dior, what do you want to cooperate with me, or with our London police?" ”
When Dior heard Liu Xing say this, he immediately smiled and said: "I knew that Officer Chris would choose to cooperate with me, although I really want to cooperate with your London police now, but because I don't have any substantial evidence to prove that I am not a bloody handprint killer, I can only choose to cooperate with Officer Chris now, because it is still the same sentence - we are the same kind of people." ”
Liu Xing nodded, sighed and said, "Mr. Dior, you are talking about that dream, I saw in the dream that you were tied to a big pillar by a group of creatures that looked like fish people. ”
Dior took out a business card from his pocket and said seriously: "This is the contact information of the dream club, Officer Chris, after you listen to my next words, you can choose whether to join this dream club; First of all, our dreams are connected, to be precise, we share a dream with tens of thousands of other people, because we are all influenced by an old ruler and pulled into the same dream, and the reason why this old ruler does this is to let us provide it with the power of faith. ”
"Most of the humans who were pulled into the dream by this old ruler have no way to get out of that fog within the specified time, so these people have been brainwashed into being the most faithful believers of the old ruler, and humans like you and me who can enter that ruin belong to very powerful spiritual beings, so the old ruler will find an opportunity to transform us into mythical creatures who believe in it - deep divers, that is, those fish people in your mouth Officer Chris."
"However, there are exceptions to everything, and some humans may be so-called children of Destiny, and even the Old Ruler cannot convert them into deep divers, so the Old Ruler will arrange for those deep divers to capture these people, and tie them to the pillar called the Pillar of Sacrifice to the Old One, and I am one of them, and I can be sure that you are the same person as I am, because you are also free to move in dreams like me before, It's not like a marionette that can only watch and control the body. ”
I have to say that Dior's words were an eye-opener for Liu Xing.
However, in Liu Xing's opinion, Dio is at most a blood-colored ghoul, and it should be impossible for him to understand the mechanism of Cthulhu's dreaming so well, so Liu Xing thinks that what Dio said is just the words of a family.
"By the way, if we were to be tied to the sacrificial pillar and sacrificed to the Old Dominator, we would be in a vegetative state in the real world that we would never wake up, and this dream would be a mutual aid gathering of people like us to make sure that we would not be so isolated and helpless in our dreams."
Liu Xing took the business card in Dior's hand and found that there was only one phone number on the card.
It seems that this dream will also be quite mysterious.
"Okay, I've said everything I need to say, it's time for me to leave, I hope Officer Chris can be a member of our dream meeting, and we'll talk about it later." Dio said, getting up.
Liu Xing nodded and watched Dior walk out of the room.
Liu Xing sighed and stood in front of the window to check the situation in the parking lot downstairs.
A few minutes later, Dior got into a black sedan and left.
