CHAPTER XXXV. Shade of the Night

1

The guy who was the leader suddenly felt a little heavy in his back at this time.

He turned his head a little stiffly, and in the silence he could hear the sound of his neck bone twisting.

Anyway, in the end he turned his head, and on his back, the corpse of a child lay on his stomach.

The corpse's hair, except for the strands stuck together with the black mud, was still intact. However, her face was not so lucky, her skin was broken and rotten due to being buried in the ground for a long time, and a large number of scavenging insects had already eaten most of the flesh except the skull, resulting in only two black holes left in her eyes, and there were maggots wriggling in the black holes. At the child's age, it is the time to change teeth, so her gums and teeth are also uneven. Most of her clothes have been preserved, although they are also badly rotten. One of her hands, strictly speaking, was resting on his shoulders, and there was a faint fire burning in the black hole of his eyes.

"Vomit ......"

The child on the back of the leader, when he turned his face and looked at each other, suddenly opened his mouth violently and let out a vomiting sound.

Immediately, countless black tide bugs, corpse cockroaches, cockroaches, flies, and white maggots instantly crawled all over this guy's body.

"Ah......h

The screams lasted only a few seconds, and as a large number of bugs crawled down his open mouth into his esophagus and down his nostrils into his respiratory tract, his screams came to an abrupt end, and his body struggled and rolled wildly on the ground.

The other two guys were already frightened crazy at this time, and they didn't care if they could run out at the moment, they just wanted to run as far as they could, as far as they could. So the two of them ran towards the doorway, which seemed to be very close but out of reach.

This time, it really didn't take a few steps to run to the door, and the two of them opened the door, but their bodies suddenly froze.

At the door, in the moonlight, stood a female doll puppet.

The puppet's face was covered with stitches, as if it had been tortured repeatedly. Moreover, her eyes, as if they had been ignited by flames, shone with the light of resentment, calamity, hatred, cruelty, and gloom.

At the corner of the corridor leading to the second floor of Xinlingwan Commercial Plaza, three guys were running wildly in the space of three or four square meters, panting, full of horror and madness.

Soon, one of them fell to the ground, still tumbling violently and struggling, his mouth wide open but unable to make any sound, his hands scratching wildly at his body, as if his skin was crawling with something terrible, and in less than three minutes he had scratched himself all over his face with blood.

The other two quickly followed in his footsteps, the same panic, the same tumbling on the ground, the same crazy screams without making a sound.

It was as if they were subjected to the most terrible torture, violent, without pause, without mercy.

If the soul can be seen at this time, the souls of the three of them are being torn by a small soul. That little soul was like a beastβ€”no, a beast preys for food. And this little soul, its bite, with cruelty and madness, and even a little bit of fun.

……

If you were unfortunate enough to encounter a man-eating beast in the wilderness, what would be the worst outcome?

It was not eaten by a wild beast, but the luckiest of all.

The worst thing is that the beast will take your arms, legs, nose, ears, intestines, stomach...... I have eaten it all the time, but I just keep your head, heart and other organs, and I can't die for a while, I can only watch myself being bitten off piecemeal piecemeal, and then bite down a piece......

That's what this little soul is like at this time. It could have swallowed the souls of all three in an instant, but it didn't. During the whole "eating" process, it deliberately avoided the core part of the soul, that is, the primordial spirit, and did not move, but only tore and devoured the other parts little by little.

This process lasted for a long, long time before it finally ended. A black puff of smoke floated up from the hallway against the ground, turned right, and melted into the Institute of Unknown Events from under the door.

"Hey! Big Colored Cat! ”

Sang Xiaoge folded his hands, pressed the edge of the table, pressed his chin on the back of his hand, looked at the guy opposite and asked:

"Are you strong or weak? As your master, I don't know anything about you. ”

The guy took another cigarette in his mouth, lit it, took a greedy puff, and slowly exhaled it so much that his face became more blurred behind the smoke.

"I'm supposed to be strong...... Right? ”

His tone was a little uncertain.

"What do you mean? Strong is strong, weak is weak, don't be embarrassed to admit it, it doesn't matter if you're very wasted, my sister will cover you in the future. ”

Sang Xiaoge pouted.

"I came up from below and lost nine out of ten memories." The face behind the smoke showed a rare look of distress: "It seems that I designed it myself." And, in addition to memories, I lost even more of my abilities. According to my plan, when I came up, I would find a corpse holding my breath, and then my soul would possess itβ€”in my case, if I were to possess a newly raised corpse, I would have achieved an almost perfect fit. In other words, whoever I possess is equivalent to bringing them back to life. I even have a part of that person's memory. But when I came up, I found that there was not a single dead person within a radius of 100 miles. That night I thought the cat was a dead child, and I thought it would be better to be a ghost baby than a geist. As a result, he became a cat. ”

"Poof......" Sang Xiaoge smiled unkindly, she happily looked at the guy opposite who was spitting clouds and mist, and asked, "There is one thing, I have always been curious." Since you were a human in your previous life, and now you have become a cat, how does it feel to have an extra tail? ”

Sang Xiaoge talked with the guy for a long time, until the image on the other side became more and more blurred, she stood up and sighed contentedly:

"Hey! After chatting for so long, I finally got to know you a little bit. I'm also well rested, it's time to wake up. ”

"By the way, you saved me again, thank you."

Before waking up from the dream, Sang Xiaoge squeezed his eyes at the guy and said.

Then, she woke up from her dream.

……

Inside the bed, Xinxin slept soundly wrapped in a blanket. The rag doll sat in the corner, looking thoughtful. In his arms, Mr. Lan fell asleep on all fours, and a small piece of tongue was still hanging out. Its body was no longer stiff, and its fluffy, silky gray-blue fur slowly rose and fell with its breathing.

Glancing at the cartoon quartz clock hanging on the wall, it was past seven o'clock in the morning. Usually I don't get up at this time, but I've slept enough since I slept at noon yesterday. So I got out of bed gently, took a shower in the bathroom, changed into clean pajamas, wrapped my head in a bath towel and walked outside to the "reception room".

In the dream, she was here, talking to the guy for a long time.

Picking up his phone and preparing to order breakfast takeout, his eyes accidentally saw several cigarette butts thrown in paper cups on the edge of the table. That's where the guy smoked in the dream.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside, which startled Sang Xiaoge.

"Who? Early in the morning, mourning? Sang Xiaoge cursed angrily.

"Open the door! The police! ”

At dawn, a cosmetics warehouse upstairs arrived, so the boss took the porter upstairs and saw three "corpses" at the corner of the stairs leading to the second floor.

When they were discovered, the bodies of the three "corpses" were twisted and their faces were covered in flesh and blood. The situation was so scary that the owner of the makeup artist shop immediately called the police.

When the police arrived, they found that the three men were not dead, but were in a coma. So immediately an ambulance was called and the three were pulled to the emergency center - of course, some necessary procedures such as taking photos and collecting evidence at the scene had been completed before.

In charge of this case are Zheng Tingyu from the Central City Police Department of Rubik's Cube City, and his deputy Qian Shinan. The two were originally on the night shift last night, but they received a report more than an hour before the shift change.

I thought it was a homicide.

As a result, after seeing the scene, Zheng Tingyu was blinded.

The three "victims" are notorious local repeat offenders, and one of them is still on the police department's wanted list.

Moreover, judging from the weapons, ropes and other tools carried by the three guys, it is obvious that they were going to do something illegal, and they were maimed here. The doctor's initial diagnosis was that they were "brain dead" β€” that is, vegetative.

His partner, Qian Shinan, once specialized in the business of the identification department for a while, and judging from the injuries on the three people, the injuries on the people of these two people can basically be determined to be self-harm.

And there are no traces of dragging at the scene, and there is a lot of evidence to determine that this is the scene of the first crime.

In fact, although the scars on the faces of the three people look scary, they are all skin injuries, so why can't these two people become vegetative because of such injuries, right?

And judging from the frightened looks on the faces of the three people, it seems that they were frightened by something - what did they see, which could scare three notorious villains into brain death?

But the clue appeared immediately.

Zheng Tingyu unlocked their phones with their fingerprints and found a record in the wanted man's phone with an address and description.

The address is a room on the second floor of Xinling Bay, and the description is the owner, female, Sang Xiaoge.

Zheng Tingyu is a typical materialist.

Therefore, when he saw the business scope written in this house, the words "name planning, I Ching gossip, constellation interpretation, tarot calculation, feng shui five elements, scientific dream interpretation, and research on all unsolved things", he innate felt that this was not a serious business. No matter how you look at it, it's also a deception.

As a result, when he knocked on the door and saw the little girl in the bunny-eared pajamas inside, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Especially Sang Xiaoge got up early and just took a shower, and he didn't put on makeup, and he had the temperament of a little girl next door, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't match the image of a god stick in Officer Zheng Tingyu's mind.

It's a little awkward.
