Chapter 707: Hunting Traps
At first, Yuan Muye thought that there might be something wrong with the route they chose, but it wasn't until they saw a headless corpse hanging from a tree that they realized that something might not be right......
It is not difficult to see from the white lab coat on the corpse that the deceased should be a staff member of the laboratory, and after Gio stepped forward to check it, he said with a solemn expression, "It's Wilson, but where did his head go?" ”
After hearing this, Yuan Muye looked at the corpse without saying a word, in his opinion, the invisible head must not be Wilson's own, otherwise he would be a normal person, and there would be no need to hide in the mountains at all.
Judging from the posture of the corpse hanging on a tree, it should have been dragged up by some carnivore that can climb trees, but the question is why this guy only ate his head while the rest of his body was intact if he was served as breakfast by other shapeshifters?
"What do you think?" Forging Feng interrupted Yuan Muye's thoughts at this time.
Yuan Muye shook his head when he heard this, and said, "This person died strangely, it doesn't look like he was hunted...... It's like being tortured and killed. ”
"You mean a man did it?" Forging Feng said suspiciously.
Yuan Muye thought for a while and said, "Let's get the corpse down first!" ”
After hearing this, Forging Feng commanded Zhang Kai and Xiao Min to go up together and get the corpse down from the tree, and then Yuan Muye went over to carefully examine the corpse, and it was not difficult to see from the uneven wound on the neck that the deceased should have been bitten off by something to bite off his neck.
But the scene of the previous transformation monster hunting is still vivid, the other party first bit the throat of the deer, and then directly took out the stomach and ate the deer's internal organs...... It can be seen that a "professional" carnivore will definitely choose to pick up soft places to lower its mouth, rather than eat the head of its prey as soon as it comes up.
Because considering that there was nothing wrong with this Wilson's corpse on the surface, and it was his colleague after all, Gio and Xiaomin did not burn the corpse immediately, but sent a location to Dr. Duncan, hoping that they could come over and collect the corpse.
In the eyes of others, this headless corpse was just an unlucky bastard who was bitten to death by other shapeshifters, but Yuan Muye vaguely felt that things did not seem to be simple...... Maybe they were wrong in the first place.
Although these shapeshifters scattered in the Thunder Mountain do not look like humans or beasts, they are still human after all, and they have human thinking, if they think differently, they suddenly become this ghost, and they can't accept it, but more because they are worried that their lives may be threatened.
Like this Wilson, if he really thinks that he can only return to normal by returning to the lab, as Dr. Duncan said before, then why did he die here?
Apparently Wilson himself fled into the mountains, which means that he thought that he probably wouldn't return to normal, and at the same time he was worried about being destroyed, so he had to hide in the mountains with the other shapeshifters.
But the problem is that Wilson is dead now, and what killed him is not to eat his flesh, if the environment is changed, the scene is changed...... This is obviously a murder that only happens between humans, so can it be assumed that the shapeshifter who killed Wilson is a guy with the same human consciousness as him?
Thinking of this, Yuan Muye asked Gio another question, "How much human consciousness and thinking can this kind of transformation monster have?" ”
Gio seemed to be stumped by the question, he thought for a moment, then frowned and said, "I really can't say this, but I guess it's mainly based on the proportion of the human part...... If there were only a few parts of the human body, such as a hand, an ear, and so on, there would be no human consciousness. On the contrary, if most of the body belongs to a human being, then he should have the full human consciousness and mind. ”
"What if only heads were exchanged between a person and an animal?" Yuan Muye continued to ask.
Gio's face sank when he heard this, obviously he understood that what Yuan Muye was talking about was Wilson's situation...... Since Wilson's corpse has no signs of a shapeshifter from top to bottom, it means that the only part that is misplaced should be the head.
If only the head has been changed, does it mean that the Wilson in front of him has no human consciousness, and the animal with the changed head can already think like a human?
"But this ...... It doesn't make sense, if the animal that had switched heads with Wilson killed him, then what was his motive? It can't be that you don't want to change your head back, right? Dajun said with a puzzled expression.
Yuan Muye said in a deep voice when he heard this, "It stands to reason that human memories are stored in the brain, so even if Wilson's head is changed to the body of an animal...... He shouldn't have chosen to kill his original body! Unless, as the army said, he doesn't want to get back to normal. ”
"It's useless to think about it so much, keep looking, anyway, the characteristics of this shapeshifter should be obvious, as long as we find an animal with a man's head on it." Forging Feng said with a nonchalant expression.
Yuan Muye heard the same, so the group of them continued to march into the depths of the forest, but as they walked, Forging Feng suddenly pushed Yuan Muye away, and then saw a wooden row full of sharpened branches directly slapped on the position where Yuan Muye was just now.
If it weren't for Forging Feng pushing him away in time, it is estimated that Yuan Muye would have been pierced with a few blood holes at this time! Seeing this, everyone immediately looked around vigilantly......
Forging Feng walked over to take a closer look at the somewhat rough wooden raft, and then said in a deep voice, "This should be a common trap used by hunters when hunting, but the method is a little rudimentary. ”
"Cast a trap here? Who are you hunting? Shall we? Zhang Kai said with a surprised face.
Hearing this, Forging Feng sneered, "It seems that our opponent is not simple, and it is definitely not a guy who can be dealt with with an anesthetic......"
At this time, the big head suddenly walked up to the wooden raft and sniffed it, as if he had found something...... Seeing this, Yuan Muye also walked over to take a look, only to find that the wooden raft was stained with some slimy liquid, which smelled fishy and smelly.
"Do you know what animal left this behind?" Yuan Muye asked tentatively.
The big head didn't speak, but after glancing at him, he got up and walked in the other direction......
When Xiao Min saw it, he stopped him, "That direction is not our established route!" ”
With the temper of the big head, he naturally ignored Xiao Min's words, but continued to walk forward without looking back, and the people on No. 54 naturally couldn't let it go when they saw it, so Yuan Muye and a few of them had to hurry up.
