Chapter 127: Outlander
The cemetery is located in Nantang Village in southern Dongzhou, only 15 kilometers away from Xuling Village, where the dead skin man appeared.
When you associate ghouls with dead skins, everyone feels weird.
On the way to Nantang Village overnight, Gu Jun fell asleep in a daze, but because he was restless, he didn't sleep soundly.
It's ironic that the Dead Skin Guy incident is just an F-Class file. However, the outliers that the Heavenly Machine Bureau faced before were by no means the ones that made the alien literati who knew spells frightened.
There are still many unsolved doubts about the afterlife, and he now knows that the tissue samples of those high-level black-robed people and red-clothed people have all been tested by DNA, and they are not related by blood, all of them are ordinary Homo sapiens. The head of the leader, the man in red, was dissected, and nothing was found.
Ghoul...... It must exist, and it is likely that it has already appeared in the Eastern State......
The mountain road was wobbly, and it was more than four o'clock in the morning when we arrived at Nantang Village, and it was still very dark, but the silence of this mountain village had been broken.
Gu Jun, Yao Shinian and their entourage were not the first to arrive, and the personnel of the Investigation Department, the Operations Department and other departments had already sealed off the village and controlled the cemetery.
At the meeting point on the side of the road leading to the cemetery, there is also a mobile task force, the Witcher Squad.
"Ah Jun!" Uncle Dan's kind and hearty cry came, and Xue Ba's rough and loud voice was also there: "Ah Jun! ”
They were right in front, and when Gu Jun saw this group of acquaintances who had experienced life and death together, he couldn't help but be happy, everyone was fine.
However, Lin Mo, who lost his left leg, has retired from the team, no longer fights on the front line, and goes back to the scientific research department as a logistics staff.
Lou Xiaoning is still there, although she is missing a right eye and wears a black blindfold like a pirate, her experience of seeing indescribable visions directly is very valuable enough for her to stay and continue to serve as the vice captain.
Seeing Gu Jun at this time, Lou Xiaoning suddenly laughed and said, "Good boy, I heard that you are the captain of a new team, and I want to absorb you into the demon hunters." ”
"Commander Band, only." Gu Jun was embarrassed to mention the problem team, and he could still point at her when Wu Xianyu was there, but now he could only stare dryly.
After everyone laughed and said a few words of joy at the reunion, they talked about the situation in front of them.
Now for Gu Jun's super senses, hallucinations, and ghouls, it is the Demon Hunter Squad that the Mobile Task Force in Jeondong Prefecture can best understand.
"Ghouls." Xue Ba stiffened his muscles and talked about trivia: "You know, this kind of thing originates from Arabic folklore, and it is said that they have the ability to dress up as other animals, especially hyenas, so the legendary ghoul humanoid dog face." They will trick the unsuspecting into the depths of the desert and in the middle of nowhere, kill and eat. I'm not kidding, I'm serious. ”
Gu Jun didn't doubt it, thinking back to the hazy ugly faces in that illusion...... Hyena? Can't remember......
But what did he think of, and looked around, "Commander Yao, how is the police force here?" If this is a ghoul trap, can we handle it? ”
"It should be fine." Yao Shinian also didn't dare to be sloppy at all, "Heavy firepower has been deployed, and some combat vehicles are coming." ”
Gu Jun nodded, but the uneasiness in his heart did not dissipate.
Led by the head of Nantang Village, the group walked towards the old cemetery, which was still gloomy despite the temporary lighting of the high-ceiling lights.
Village Chief Chen Decheng was very puzzled about how to make such a big battle in the middle of the night, after all, only a few policemen came to take a look at the case before the report.
But when it came to this, Village Chief Chen was furious!
According to him, Chen is an ordinary village, and most of the villagers have the surname Chen, and almost all of them belong to an ancestral hall. The grudges that Nantang Village had with other nearby villages had also ended with the advent of modern life, and he really couldn't imagine who was so vicious.
"This is the old cemetery of our village." Village Chief Chen said, "A few years ago, the town said that it would move out and lose money? How to compensate for the damage of our feng shui? ”
He said that now villagers go to the funeral home for cremation when they die, and then erect a monument on the side of the new cemetery.
And this old cemetery is all the ancestors who were buried in the ground decades ago.
Gu Jun was suddenly a little surprised, so the bodies in the cemetery were already a pile of bones, and there was nothing to decompose......
The roads in the old cemetery were all dirt and weeds, and he was aware of his surroundings, but not where he had imagined.
There were five graves that were dug up this time, all of which happened overnight.
"It's really ......" Village Chief Chen didn't dare to speak rudely in front of these leaders, so he was so angry that he couldn't say anything, "Even our grandfather's grave has been dug up!" ”
"Ah Gong" is the patriarch of the Chen clan hundreds of years ago, and he is highly respected in Nantang Village, and he also stands in a high position in the ancestral hall.
Ah Gong's tomb has been repaired many times, and now it is a rather luxurious stone tomb, but it was destroyed when it was stolen and excavated a few days ago, and the villagers planned to seek justice from the media, except for the broken coffin and scattered bones, nothing else was repaired.
Village Chief Chen led them to Ah Gong's tomb, and Gu Jun looked at the messy surroundings and didn't have any special perception.
"Village Chief, take us to see the others." He said.
"Oh." In the eyes of Village Chief Chen, the passivity of Ah Gong's grave is the whole matter, and nothing else is worth mentioning. But now I can only take them to see, and after seeing one place after another, this young Mr. Gu said to go to the next place.
When it comes to the last fifth grave that was stolen and dug up, it was also the most damaged.
Yao Shinian, Xue Ba and the others all saw that something was wrong from the fallen stone tombstone, and Xue Ba asked, "Village Chief Chen, what kind of writing is that on the tombstone?" ”
Gu Jun was also looking at the ancient tombstone in the mud, the inscription on it was already a little blurred, it was not a different text, nor was it a common text that could be recognized, revealing a strange and dilapidated one, hiding some kind of past......
"This?" Village Chief Chen also made a difficulty, "This tomb is not from our surname Chen, it seems to be a tomb left by a foreigner in the past, and I don't know very well." ”
At this moment, everyone's spirits were lifted, if it wasn't for the corpse eating, this tomb might be the reason.
"Village Chief Chen, you immediately go with someone to bring the village elder who knows." Yao Shinian said solemnly, "The matter is very serious, and there is no way to disturb their rest." ”
was carried away by a few strong men from the demon hunter team, how dare Village Chief Chen delay, immediately went to knock on the door from house to house and pulled those village elders out of their homes.
Not long after, Village Chief Chen and others came back with six village elders, four of whom could walk by themselves, and two of whom were pushed by their families in wheelchairs. The eldest of them, Chen Shuhuai, is 95 years old, and the others are also in their 80s and 90s.
Only old people of their age still know some of the past that has long passed.
"This tomb belongs to the old dog...... Chen Shuhuai hunched his back, talking about the incident that began when he was a child, his wrinkled face full of old age spots was a little excited.
Although he is 95 years old, Chen Shuhuai's thoughts and words are still clear, speaking the local dialect of Dongzhou, which was translated into Mandarin by Village Chief Chen.
"At that time, there was a war, I was still young, their family was to avoid the war, strangers, at first everyone was not welcome, drive them away, and then Ah Gong said that the war was chaotic, just let them stay. Hey, they have the strength to work, and everyone slowly accepts them. The family lived in the village for decades, and then the old dog uncle died, and they died, walked, and disappeared. ”
Everyone listened, Uncle Dan and Lou Xiaoning looked at each other a little, Gu Jun remembered what Xue Ba said, frowned and asked, "Why is Uncle Dog called this name?" ”
"Uncle Dog?" Chen Shuhuai's tone was very emotional, "He looks very strange, everyone says that he looks like a dog, so they call him an old dog." ”
"Weird, their family is weird...... He doesn't marry us, and he doesn't usually play with us, but the strangest thing is that ......"
Thinking of something, Chen Shuhuai's old face seemed to have complicated confusion and fear, "You young people don't believe it, you don't believe it, you don't believe it......"
