Chapter 12: The Vanishing Corpse

When night falls, the moon and stars are scarce.

"Huh? Well...... I know. ”

An Jie hung up the phone in her hand, picked up the shovel again and began to work.

In a cemetery in the middle of nowhere, two figures carrying shovels are working hard.

"Second Lieutenant, I don't understand." Sergeant Bruce wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Why are we going to dig someone's grave?" Such...... Very unethical. ”

"Less nonsense! Just get to work! ”

An Jie's face was covered with grave ashes, and she was not much better than Bruce. The two men dug up the grave, and after a while, a coffin was dug up.

"Open."

An Jie ordered, Sergeant Bruce swallowed his saliva, grabbed the edge of the coffin with both hands, and suddenly exerted force!

The coffin board flew straight out.

Looking at the empty coffin, An Jie sneered: "Sure enough, ......"

She jumped out of the edge of the grave she had dug out, and said, "Sergeant, dig a second one with me." ”

Inexplicably, Bruce had to follow her to dig up the ancestral grave, he didn't understand what his second lieutenant was trying to say, but he vaguely felt that he had caught something after the second and third coffins and the fifth coffin were all gone.

"Sergeant, why do you say there are no bodies in these coffins?"

“…… Because there is no burial? ”

"That's impossible." An Jie leaned down and grabbed a handful of grave soil, her left eye, which had turned into a fiery bronze color, stared at the soil, and rubbed her fingers lightly.

A cluster of cyan flames loomed.

Sergeant Bruce was so frightened that he took a step back and said, "Hell, hell...... Ghost fire?! ”

"It's phosphorus fire, two goods."

An Jie waved his hand to shake off the phosphorus fire in his hand and said: "If there is phosphorus fire, it means that the soil here contains phosphorus, which means that there are human corpses rotting in this area, so there were corpses in these coffins at one time." ”

"Then why are all the bodies in these coffins gone?"

"That's exactly what I'm going to say." An Jie said playfully with a shovel: "A group of corpses that have been buried have disappeared, one is that someone has dug them out, and the other is ...... They crawled out on their own. ”

Sergeant Bruce broke out in a cold sweat and said, "Dead dead man...... How could it be...... Climb out on your own, second lieutenant, don't be kidding, a little ...... It's not funny! ”

Anjie: "Huh? I thought this joke was funny~"

Bruce: "............"

"Alright, come with me, Sergeant." An Jie put away the joke and said seriously. "I'll show you something."

She led Bruce to the sheepfold on the farm.

"What do you think of that dog, sergeant?"

Bruce looked at the sheepdog guarding the sheepfold and said, "A young and energetic loyal companion. ”

"But do you remember what the old man said?" Anjie asked, and Sergeant Bruce recalled the old man's description of his sheepdog...... I was stunned there all of a sudden.

He said...... My dog has reached the age of death............"

Sergeant Bruce hesitated, and Angel nodded in affirmation. "Yes, the dog was young, but the old man said it was dying...... Actually, it's true. ”

An Jie sneered: "Just do this." As he spoke, a wave of killing intent was released towards the shepherd dog!

"Whew......"

The shepherd dog screamed, and the animal's natural sensitive senses made it easily feel the brutal killing intent in the air that was coming straight to it. So right in front of Sergeant Bruce's eyes, the shepherd dog ran back to his kennel with his tail between his legs.

Bruce: "............"

"It's already clear that the old man is hiding something from us."

An Jie put away her killing intent, tidied up her meter casually, and walked towards the house where the old man was.

"Let's go, we've wasted enough time."

☆☆☆☆☆

The old man, who was asleep, was woken up by a basin of cold water, and he looked around tremblingly, and found that he was still at home, and in front of him stood the two officers he had seen in the morning.

"Two, two...... I, this, what's wrong, what's going on? ”

An Jie crossed her hands on her chin and smiled at him, "Old man, we are here to hear the truth. ”

"Truth? Didn't I say ...... in the morning?"

"Then can you tell me why you were scared when you saw me?"

"Uh...... That's because I was scared to see a girl as young as you wearing a military uniform. ”

"Is that really the case? Then let me ask you again, the people you see ......."

An Jie reached out and took out a picture of Frankenstein from his pocket and said to him, "Is it really this person?" ”

The old man said firmly: "Of course! ”

An Jie smiled and pulled out a strip of cloth from behind her, and dismantled the strip of cloth, inside was an arm covered with scars and stitch marks.

The old man's face changed greatly!

Seeing this, Bruce, who had been silent, couldn't help but ask, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"It's simple." An Jie said, she pointed to the hideous and ugly severed arm, and said, "This is Frankenstein's arm." ”

He pointed to the photo and said, "This is the photo she took ten years ago." ”

"The dogs in the kennel are very young, and the reason why they are languishing is because they are scared. And the dead do not come out of the grave on their own, and those empty coffins indicate that someone has transferred the corpses inside. ”

"Let me guess, the person in the photo came here one night in early March, and your dog spotted her, but was frightened by her hideousness; And she came here for the corpse in the cemetery, you want to stop it, but this person has left a deep shadow in your heart...... It's so deep that I'd be scared to see her about the same age - that's it, right? ”

The old man was silent, and An Jie acquiesced to him.

"Two questions, what does she look like? And where did she go? ”

The old man remained silent.

An Jie sighed, got up and drew her gun, and loaded the bullet with a click. "I'll kill you if I don't say anything."

The corner of Bruce's eye on the side jumped fiercely.

"Did...... Can you save me? ”

"Of course." An Jie said: "The empire will not give up on any people. ”

"That'...... I say. ”

The old man began to reminisce a second time.

"One night in early March, I heard my dog bark suddenly, and I thought it was a wolf, so I grabbed my shotgun and ran out of the house. And then...... I see it. ”

The expression on the old man's face was almost distorted, and he said, "Two people, there are two of them in total!" One is covered in armor that I can't see clearly, and the other is the woman in the picture you showed me. ”

"Two people ......" An Jie frowned and continued to ask, "What does she look like?" ”

"Needles, threads, wounds and screws. The woman's face was covered with wounds, all of which had been stitched up with needles and threads, as was her right eye, and half of her mouth. There were two huge screws stuck in her temples, and she looked like a demon! ”

"And then?"

"They were carrying a lot of corpses, yes, the ones that had been dug up from the cemetery. The woman in the armor took the most, and the little demon only carried one or two. They carried the corpses and headed in the direction of the Mist Forest. ”

"In the direction of the Mist Forest, are you sure?"

"I'm sure!"

"Last question, why did you survive?"

Because ......" An Jie did not bind his hands, so the old man hid his face and cried at this time, and he said, "I ......"

"Bang!"

Shots rang out, and the old man fell to the ground, blood splattered all over the ground.

Bruce's eyes widened in shock, and he yelled at Anjie, "Second Lieutenant! You said you wouldn't kill him! Didn't you say you were going to save him?! ”

"Huh? Is it? An Jie looked at her heart pressure meter and said, "I may have said it, but so what?" I've changed my mind now. ”

She put away her pistol and cardiometer and continued, "We don't have any more time to waste now, old man...... I can't save him. ”
