In a dark and narrow corridor, Xing Yuan ran in a panic, he didn't know what he was hiding, but the howling of ghosts and wolves behind him and countless eyes glowing with yellow light made Xing Yuan have only one thought - escape! But no matter how desperately he ran forward, the exit full of light at the other end of the corridor seemed to be getting farther and farther away, and Xing Yuan felt that he was about to be completely swallowed by the darkness, and he might eventually become one of those painful and miserable things behind him, slowly rotting in the darkness......

The light was getting farther and farther away, everything behind him was getting closer and closer, and Xing Yuan knelt in place, falling into deep despair. Countless withered, pale and bloodstained hands stretched out from the darkness towards Xing Yuan's body.

"It's not time yet!"

A loud shout instantly repelled these claws, and the exit full of light in front of Xing Yuan's eyes quickly moved closer to him, until Xing Yuan completely entered a piece of light.

The darkness retreated.

Xing Yuan woke up, and the pungent medical alcohol made him quickly realize that this was a hospital ward, and everything just now was just a dream.

"Listen to my orders in this operation, don't startle the snake."

Someone outside the door was talking, the voice was very loud, full of strength and security, it was the captain Wang Liansheng.

The rebuke I heard in the dream just now was also from Team Wang.

Xing Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief, and the wound in his left lower abdomen ached faintly, but fortunately, he survived.

Wang Liansheng pushed the door into the house, and when he saw Xing Yuan sobering up, he sighed at first, but didn't say anything, and slowly sat down beside Xing Yuan's bedside. The two looked at each other silently.

"Team King." Xing Yuan opened his mouth first.

Wang Liansheng waved his hand, "Let your kid not act without authorization, and pay attention to safety, I almost had an accident." The tone was full of reproach.

"How long have I been lying down?"

"It's one o'clock in the middle of nowhere, and it's been exactly two days."

"Team Wang, I know who the murderer is." Xing Yuan couldn't wait to state the clues to Wang Liansheng.

"Needless to say, Geng Tingwei is not a murderer. The time of the victim's death has been determined, and he had asked for sick leave from the unit before, and he did go back to his hometown in the countryside to recuperate, and we have confirmed it. In the month he returned to the county seat, he had a hangover alone in the county bar on the death schedule of each victim, which was confirmed by the bar staff and surveillance. Wang Liansheng's words were very firm.

"How is that possible? I saw with my own eyes that there was a ...... in the yard of his house."

"Human skin, huh? We investigated, and it wasn't a real human skin, but a replica prop. Geng Tingwei bought it on the Internet, and after our investigation of the indoor environment and inquiries about the vegetable market, it was found that Geng Tingwei used to buy some pig blood and chicken blood on weekdays, dumped on imitation human skin, and then ...... "Wang Liansheng can't go on, Xing Yuan can see that the Wang team seems to have imagined something, and he is disgusted."

"And then? What the? The strong desire to solve the case made Xing Yuan continue to ask.

"Geng Tingwei was lying on the skin of the dummy licking blood."

Wang Liansheng's answer made Xing Yuan gasp, not long ago, he actually fought to the death with such a bloody pervert.

"As for why he attacked you, it's hard to determine at the moment, and it can't be ruled out that it's a mental reason. Judging from the clues provided by the masses and the surveillance video on the main road, Geng Tingwei fled into the deep mountains on the outskirts of the county, although he was basically ruled out as a suspect in the case of the sinking of the body at the bottom of the lake in the park, but the two crimes of deliberately injuring people and attacking the police, plus your gun is also likely to have been taken by him, we must not let him go. At present, the Force has sent a large number of police officers into the mountains to search for Geng Tingwei's traces. ”

Hearing the loss of the gun, Xing Yuan was ashamed.

"Oh yes, Team Wang, there is one more thing, the eyewitness Uncle Cai's confession mentioned that the suspect has a pair of extremely terrifying eyes with yellow light, I found in the shop opposite the main entrance of the park, the eyes of the shopkeeper Li Decai's son are exactly the same as those described by Uncle Cai, and the same is true of Geng Tingwei's eyes, by the way, and the owner of the bun shop at the entrance of Jinghua Hutong, their eyes are glowing yellow, and they look extremely abnormal."

"Xiaoyuan, it's a pity, after the doctor's identification, Uncle Cai has gone crazy, according to the normal procedure, all the confessions that Uncle Cai said can't be followed up according to normal clues. You said that Li Decai's son, Geng Tingwei, and the owner of the steamed bun shop all had the same eyes as Uncle Cai described, so let me tell you one thing, according to incomplete statistics, there are at least 100 residents in the county where the crime occurred, all of which meet the characteristics of the suspects described by Uncle Cai. ”

"Huh?!" Team Wang's words were like a bombshell, blowing Xing Yuan's brain to pieces.

"The eyes are yellow, according to my speculation, it may be an infectious disease," Wang Liansheng continued to analyze the situation with Xing Yuan, "Maybe it has something to do with some public matter, the strange thing is that all the people claim that they are not sick and are unwilling to undergo a medical examination in the hospital, and we can't enforce it." ”

Xing Yuan looked at Wang Liansheng blankly, and suddenly Xing Yuan felt a little strange: Wang Liansheng has been through ups and downs for a long time, has been a police officer for many years, and there is no doubt that his psychological quality is strong, but when he stated such a situation that violated human ethics and objectivity, he was expressionless and still calm, Xing Yuan deduced that the captain Wang Liansheng must have experienced something that ordinary people have never experienced or even could not understand.

Wang Liansheng caught a trace of suspicion flashing in Xing Yuan's eyes, he knew what Xing Yuan was thinking at this moment, "Xiaoyuan, there are some things that you shouldn't say as a people's policeman, but this world is really too large and complicated, there are too many things that cannot be measured by the current scientific scale, and being immeasurable does not mean that it is unscientific, people are used to describing things that cannot be explained by science as a kind of fantasy or even supernatural phenomenon that transcends humanity and objectivity, and with your current experience, you can't really understand the world." ”

"Team Wang, Uncle Cai said that the murderer is not a person!"

"Maybe he's right, but I hope he's wrong."

"Team Wang, you've been exposed to cases like this that can't be explained by science, right?"

Wang Liansheng didn't speak, which can be regarded as acquiescence.

"Team Wang, what can I do next?"

"You are quietly waiting in the city hospital to recuperate, you can no longer participate in this case, this is an order. As a policeman, the guns have been lost, and the superiors have not recovered from your serious injuries, so they will not deal with it for the time being, and you will obey the order during this time, and I will fight for you from above. Wang Liansheng's tone could not be refuted, and he stood up to leave.

"Team Wang, there is one more thing I want to know in the end," Xing Yuan stopped Wang Liansheng, "If this case is really a supernatural case, what are you going to do?" ”

"Maybe someone can help."

"Who?"

"His name is Wu Mourning, and he is a soul slayer."

Wang Liansheng finally told Xing Yuan to recuperate and leave.

"Mourning, soul slayer." Xing Yuan repeated it, and these words were deeply embedded in his heart.

The mobile phone rang suddenly, Xing Yuan grabbed the phone, it was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello? Hello, is it Officer Xing Yuanxing? A familiar voice.

"Hello, you're Xiao Zhao from the insurance company, right?"

"Officer Xing, you really have a good memory, it's me, Xiao Zhao. Didn't you say that Geng Tingwei would call you if he came to the company? ”

"What? You said Geng Tingwei went to the company? ”

"Yes, this kid is really like you said, his face is like a dead man, and his eyes are red, I was really shocked when I saw him."

"You mean, Geng Tingwei is in the insurance company at this moment?"

"yes, why don't I call you, or why don't you talk to him? I said Tingwei, come here, there's a police officer looking for you. Geng Tingwei, what are you going to do? Don't, don't, don't, help, ah......"

"Xiao Zhao, what's the situation on your side? Feed? Xiao Zhao, Geng Tingwei What is he going to do? Feed? ”

The mobile phone on the opposite side clicked and fell to the ground, and Xing Yuan immediately heard the insurance company on the other side of the phone in a mess, there was the sound of a man shouting to call the police, the sound of a woman screaming out of fear, and the sound of teeth tearing flesh and skin.

"Geng Tingwei, is that you?" Xing Yuan shouted loudly, and the wound in his lower abdomen hurt so much that the green tendons on Xing Yuan's forehead burst out.

“…… You, don't be nosy! Otherwise, you are, next! The other end picked up the phone, a terrifying and familiar voice.

"Geng Tingwei, I will definitely catch you."

Doodoo ...... The other side of the phone hung up.

The quiet in the ward was restored, the gun was lost before the fight with Geng Tingwei, and Geng Tingwei was attracted away by a bun before he wanted to commit the murder, both of which Xing Yuan concealed from Wang Liansheng, and Xing Yuan had an inexplicable premonition at this time - only he could stop this devil, and the Wang team couldn't catch Geng Tingwei. This is not Xing Yuan's self-confidence, but a deep intuition that tells him that he will definitely confront the devil again and face to face.

It was too late to close the door again, Xing Yuan reluctantly got out of the hospital bed, planning to leave the hospital secretly.

"I'm sorry Team Wang, I can't follow orders this time."

Xing Yuan covered his wounds and left the hospital.

Since he is fighting with the devil, he can't analyze the devil's every move with normal case-solving logic.

Okay, then go with your gut feeling.

Where will he be?

Remote mountains? No; Family? No; County Central Park? No; Insurance company nearby? No; Market? Yes.

Xing Yuan immediately set off for the only vegetable market in the county. At a quarter past five in the afternoon, Xing Yuan was ambushed behind the tin bin at the garbage station in the vegetable market, and the foul smell and buzzing flies could not shake Xing Yuan, after all, this was better than the smell of hell in the bun shop.

It was past seven o'clock, the sky in the north was already dark, and the night market of the vegetable market began to end. The owners of the raw meat dumped the pig water and the stinking blood that had been disposed of that day at the garbage site.

Xing Yuan's heart was pounding, he was coming!

Sure enough, within ten minutes, a dark shadow scurried from the darkness in the distance to the dim street lamp, and walked step by step in the direction of the garbage dump.

Xing Yuan took out his baton and clenched his right hand tightly.

The black figure was dressed in a black trench coat, and his head was covered by a coat and hat, and a pair of eyes glowing with yellow light flickered. He lay on the garbage heap and began to gulp on the poured blood.

Xing Yuan was already extremely nauseous, he gritted his teeth, forcibly swallowed his vomiting, and cautiously approached the black shadow quietly, Xing Yuan knew his physical state, he just wanted to be able to surprise him, give the devil in front of him a hard blow, strive to be stunned, and try not to collide with him.

"Click." Xing Yuan's feet stepped on a broken eggshell, which looked extremely crisp in the silence of the terrifying night.

The black shadow raised his head, and a pair of yellow lights stared straight at Xing Yuan. Ah, in the end, it was discovered.

Xing Yuan put on a good stance, it is not a wise move to attack at this time, only to wait for the opponent to attack first, and then make a defensive counterattack, in exchange for the greatest result of defeating the enemy at the minimum physical cost.

The bloodthirsty black shadow stood up, standing straight, Xing Yuan wondered.

Suddenly, the black shadow opened its bloody mouth and pounced on Xing Yuan!

Xing Yuan's brain originally designed a path of action to dodge and counterattack, but at this time, the pain of the knife wound in the lower abdomen was unbearable, and Xing Yuan stood in place and couldn't move.

It's terrible, the bloodthirsty black shadow was able to jump such a long distance, and its entire body was already in mid-air! At the last moment, another black shadow suddenly stood up in the garbage heap, holding a brick in his hand, and hit the shoulder blade of the black shadow in mid-air with a "bang", causing it to fly away from the "course" and fall into the air.

Xing Yuan escaped, but he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

The bloodthirsty black shadow stood up, and the black shadow holding the brick immediately stepped forward, and hit the bloodthirsty black shadow in the back of the neck with a heavy punch, and the bloodthirsty black shadow fell this time and did not get up again.

The black shadow who took the brick threw away the brick and wiped his face, but Xing Yuan still couldn't see the other party's appearance clearly.

"Who are you?" Xing Yuan asked.

"No thanks, my name is Wu Mourning." The dark shadow replied.
