Chapter 600: The Doctor and the Guide
"We don't have to worry about our business," Songjia apparently didn't take the lame man's warning to heart.
After a pause, he said, "You said that you are different from those people below, so let me ask separately, who are you and those guys below?" ”
"The dead people downstairs are voodoo fanatics, of course, not the voodoo that you know of originating in West Africa and fiddling with corpses, no, strictly speaking, they are indeed the voodoo you know, but they have been taken over by doves." The lame man is indeed very cooperative and answers all questions.
"The dove occupies the magpie's nest?"
"Yes, their original gods have declined, or rather...... It has never been very powerful, in short, it has been replaced by another more powerful existence, so some of the cultists have also been converted, as far as I know, except for the old nest in Africa, many Voodoo religions in other places are different from the original, in fact, even a small part of Africa has changed. ”
"Those fanatics, why did they attack Ole and Alethia? And where did Dr. Baker go, I saw his car in the parking lot outside, he should have just been here a while ago. ”
"They attacked those two Inuit because the Inuit have been tracking them down, and they've been pressing so hard lately, and as for the doctor, he did come here once to get something, but he left after getting it, and I don't know where he went."
As soon as the lame man finished speaking, he saw Zhang Heng take out the knife again, and Song Jia hadn't even finished translating, so he had to reluctantly change his words, "Okay, I lied just now, Dr. Baker did come here, but now he is dead." ”
Zhang Heng frowned when he heard this, saving Ole and Alethia was just a matter of convenience, the main purpose of his coming to the art museum was to find a doctor, and from the latter he learned about the scientific expedition team back then, but he didn't expect the doctor to be dead, but fortunately he caught Sachus here, who was originally the guide of the scientific expedition team, and now he has become the director of the museum for unknown reasons.
And it seems that he has changed his name and surname, and even his appearance has changed a lot, if it weren't for Zhang Heng's observation skills being good enough, it would be really difficult to identify, no wonder I couldn't find any news about him on the Internet after that.
"Who killed him?" Songjia was shocked when she heard this.
"Me." Since he couldn't lie, the lame man could only tell the truth, "But believe me, I'm also forced to do it, after all, Baker and I have been friends for almost twenty years, and I don't really want to kill him, but if those fanatics know what he did, neither of us will end well." ”
"He's telling the truth." Zhang Heng said to Song Jia.
"Are you still his friend? So you killed an old friend who had been friends for twenty years?! Songjia was puzzled, "Just because he took something from you, and you're afraid of being implicated in the revenge of those fanatics, aren't you the head of those guys?" ”
"It's true that I'm their commander, but they only listen to me when there is action, I can't control them in normal times, they only worship one being, listen to that being, and you haven't been in contact with those guys, you don't know their way of doing things at all, they won't reason with you, it seems to you that it's just a small thing, but for them it's enough to kill, in fact, that group of people is originally happy to kill, Even when they can't find a suitable sacrifice, they will do it to their own people. ”
The lame man's words made Song Jia shudder, so it seems that it is not a bad thing for Zhang Heng to wipe them all out this time, but with so many deaths, Song Jia doesn't know how Zhang Heng is going to end, just like she said before, the police may not be willing to believe such a story, and even if they are willing to believe it, Zhang Heng is just a tourist, and he has no law enforcement power in Greenland, let alone killing.
As if seeing what he was worried about, the lame man said, "I can help you deal with the corpses downstairs, as long as you are willing to spare my life, most of these guys are actually not native Greenlanders, and a small number of people have also cut off contact with relatives and friends after joining the voodoo religion, and have long been regarded as dead by their families, so even if they disappear, as long as they are handled well, they will not arouse the minds of the police." ”
"But you killed Dr. Baker!" Songjia Road.
"I said I'm sorry, but Dr. Baker wasn't a local, his clinic had been closed for a while, and he didn't usually interact with people, so I could find someone at the school to take a long leave of absence for him, and I said he was ...... When you return to China to recuperate, you can always cover up the past. ”
"What is it about Dr. Baker that makes him what he is?"
"How do you explain it," the lame man thought for a moment, "on a physical level, he is actually fine, at most he has a bit of anxiety and insomnia, but on the other hand, he and I have been suffering for a long time, really, you are not us, it is probably difficult to understand this pain, especially in recent times, we have hardly slept well." ”
"Why?"
"Because that guy will come to us while we're asleep." "We can't get rid of it, it's like a ghost that has been haunting us for years, Dr. Baker and I are looking for a way out of this nightmare, but unfortunately neither he nor I have succeeded, so you don't have to feel too sorry for him, death is actually a relief for us." ”
"Then why are you still so afraid of death?" Songjia asked rhetorically.
"Do you think I didn't think I'd cut it off myself?" The lame man sighed, "If you've tried suicide too, you'll know how strong the human survival instinct is, no matter what happens tomorrow, it's always good to live one more day." ”
"So you became the ghost you are because of that scientific expedition more than ten years ago?"
The lame man had been answering fluently until he heard this question, and his face changed suddenly, and he said in surprise, "Who are you, and why do you know about that scientific expedition?" ”
"It seems that we can finally get to the point," Zhang Heng said, "let him talk about the scientific expedition back then, tell everything he saw and heard, and it is best not to leave a single thing behind." ”
Song Jia translated Zhang Heng's words to the lame man, "We know that you were the guide of the expedition back then, and you took them deep into the no-man's land together, what did you see there?" ”
