Chapter 74: Nightmare
Two days after the White Night left
Shinshu Castle, an unusual night
A drunken young man came out of Chunhualou and staggered down the street alone.
"The daughter is red and the children are all in the arms...... Ha ha! ”
The drunken man had to play a tune.
Call~
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and he couldn't help but hit a spirit! It's a bit drunk.
Still, he felt a weird feeling, the weirdness of being targeted by some unknown thing.
So, he turned his head to look back in confusion, but ~ the street was empty, except for two or three people walking around in the distance.
Could it be that I am too careful?
He turned back and wanted to continue walking, but before he had taken two steps, he seemed to have been touched by something.
When he took a closer look, it seemed to be white silk threads, sticky and fluffy~
Why does it look a bit like spider silk?
Just as he was puzzled, suddenly something fell on top of his head in front of him.
When I looked up, my eyes suddenly widened and I was full of fear!
Because a big gray spider was hanging in front of him, a strange human face on the spider's back looked very terrifying.
He wanted to scream, but found that his throat could not make any sound, as if he had been choked by the neck, and his body was tied and he could not move.
Suddenly, the big spider spewed out a white spider silk and directly tied him up to Wuhuada.
The big spider also took advantage of his long legs, pulled the man over at once, and then crawled along the spider silk from the spider's belly to his body, until it crawled into the slightly open mouth and into the body.
The man subconsciously felt a creature crawl down his throat into his stomach, and then he had a colic, the kind of flesh and blood that was torn!
The man let out a grunt of pain, his eyeballs bloodshot, and after a slight struggle for a moment, he stopped moving, and his head was tilted.
After that, the spider disappeared, and the man fell to the ground, his eyes rolling.
Until the next day
……
The government office
There were a lot of people outside, and there was a lot of discussion.
"Wang, what's going on?"
"You don't know! I heard that there was a dead man in the streets and alleys this morning, it seems to be a little boy outside the horse, I heard that I didn't know how to die after coming out of the Spring Flower Building last night? ”
……
Above the hall, a solemn voice shouted:
"Silence! Above the court, don't make a noise! ”
This voice came from a middle-aged man with a square face and a black hat on his head, it was Zhao Youting, the prefect of Xinzhou City.
On the table on the lower left of him, there was also a bearded Master Liu, who was the subordinate staff officer of the Zhao Governor's Mansion.
In addition, under the public court, two rows of guards wearing government uniforms stood tall in the court, holding a red-headed cane in their hands, and their faces were also very serious.
Below the prefect of Zhao's mansion, a middle-aged man dressed in Confucian clothes knelt on the ground.
Syllable! Shocking wood knock!
"Who is bowing down in the hall? What do you have to inform the government? ”
The voice of Governor Zhao came again, and the people who were joining in the excitement outside the public hall also heard it.
"Grass people Ma Yuan, Buzhuang businessman, today's appeal to the prefect is to ask the lord to avenge my son!"
Ma Yuan, also known as Ma Yuan, wailed out, his voice full of sadness.
"Oh? You can hurry up! ”
"Yes, sir!"
So Ma Yuanwai told everything about his youngest son being mutilated last night, which was not much different from what the people eating melons outside said.
"Oh, and the first person to find Ling Lang is here?"
"My lord, here you are!"
A rugged man stepped forward, and then fell to his knees.
"Who are you? Tell us everything you have heard and seen! ”
"It's an adult!! The grass people are Zhu Rong, who sells meat on Dakang Street, and this morning the grass people opened the shop early in the morning and found Ma Gongzi lying on the road. ”
"Really? Where is the body? ”
"My lord, the corpse has been put into the yamen by the guards, and now the autopsy is being performed."
Master Liu got up and bowed back.
"Well, let's spread the word and move the corpse above the court! Spread the word to the church! ”
"It's my lord!"
Then, under the orders of Master Liu, the guards brought the corpse covered with a white cloth with the puppet.
Seeing both, Governor Zhao asked:
"What are the results of the autopsy?"
"My lord, the villain just did a general examination, and he hasn't checked the inside of his body yet, but he also has a general result."
"You say!"
"Yes, sir! Ma Gongzi's corpse was roughly examined by the villain, and there was no major problem on the whole, but the face was blue, and the eyeballs were bloodshot, showing a state of horror. And no related murder weapons were found at the scene! ”
"Hmm~ In this way, the person who killed Ma Gongzi is also deeply hidden, but how did he die?"
"Hmm~ My lord, the villain only knows that Ma Gongzi was riddled with fear before his death, because there was no in-depth examination, and the specific cause of death is not yet known!"
"Then you can check it in the court, and the government will listen to the results of the waiting."
"Yes."
Hearing this, he picked up the toolbox on the ground and came to the stretcher of the corpse, and then uncovered the white cloth, and a man with a blue face appeared in the eyes of everyone, his eyes as wide as copper bells.
The next moment, he took out a pack of silver needles, a knife, and a candle that had already been lit in the toolbox.
He first burned the knife to the candle flame, and then wanted to cut open part of the corpse's chest to check for anything unusual.
The public court also looked at the movements in his hands with a solemn face, and the prefect on the stage was also staring at him with a pair of fine eyes.
Suddenly, Governor Zhao found that something seemed to be squirming between Ma Gongzi's chest and belly.
So he interrupted:
"Wait, there's something moving in the lower part of that chest."
He stopped at night, turned his head to take a closer look, and was puzzled, and wanted to find out, but the prefect had not yet given the order, and he didn't dare to act rashly.
"Excuse me, show it there!"
After receiving the order of Zhao Governor's Mansion, he began to move, and before the sharp tip of the knife touched his skin, he heard a strange crunching sound, and he didn't feel stunned, and the movements in his hand stopped.
Crunch crunch......
This sound is like the sound of something chewing food~
Not only the closest to the corpse, but also the horsemen kneeling on the ground, Governor Zhao, Master Liu, and even the people in the public hall almost heard this strange creaking sound.
Just when everyone wondered where this voice came from, he suddenly screamed, and everyone was attracted away.
I saw that he was staring at Ma Gongzi's corpse in slight fear, his body was still a few meters away, and the people present also followed his gaze, and their faces couldn't help but change greatly!
Because at this time, more than a dozen terrible gray spiders crawled out of the mouth and ears of the corpse, and there was an eerie human face on its back, as if it was laughing, but it didn't seem to be, and there seemed to be spiders crawling out of the back.
Soon, almost all the surface of the body was covered with this kind of spider, and some of them were still crawling slowly on the ground, densely packed, and everyone was shocked to see it.
"This ...... The"
Governor Zhao looked at this scene with a pale face.
But at this moment, those strange gray spiders suddenly crawled quickly towards the nearest man, and a fierce glint appeared in their eyes.
"Be careful!"
Seeing this, Governor Zhao couldn't help but shout.
