14. Lu Tao

I remembered when I first met the drunken beauty in Underwater City, and the terrifying creatures were beyond my knowledge. I think there's a better word to describe that kind of creature – a monster.

Yes, it's a youkai.

Seeing this word in mythology may not have any feelings. But in reality, it's different, and all that's left is fear and inconceivability.

As soon as the old man heard that we were going to see his son, he became nervous. He said, "He is in the corner of the house to the west, and he should be motionless by now." Actually, I didn't see him move once. Do you really want to see it? ”。

Yang Xiaoqi told him not to talk nonsense.

Yang Xiaoqi and I followed behind the old man and walked towards the main house on the west side of the courtyard.

It was dark outside, and the moon had hidden under the clouds at some point, secretly watching the three of us like eyes that had been hiding behind a curtain.

There was no light in the room, it was dark, and when you entered it, you could say that you couldn't see your fingers. I could clearly hear my own heartbeat. Yang Xiaoqi kept clutching his left hand repeatedly, trying to relieve his tension. It could be seen that he was also nervous.

There was no furniture in the house, the floor was earthy, and it felt like stepping on cotton. The soil here must have been freshly renovated, otherwise it wouldn't feel like this.

I glanced at the old man in front of me and thought to myself that he must have buried his body in this house in the last few days. I think this old friend must be a perverted murderer, and his psychology must be almost distorted. Thinking of this, I can't help but be scared again.

Thinking wildly, we had come to the westernmost room, and when we lifted the curtain, we noticed that there was something unusual in this room.

No windows!

Yang Xiaoqi immediately discovered the problem. There were no windows in this room, and it was darker inside than outside. The old man said that his son wilted as soon as the sun broke, so he had to block the window.

Under the light of the flashlight, we immediately found a lone figure in the corner of the room, motionless like a stone statue.

I don't know if drunken beauties are also divided into men and women, but this one looks like a man. The drunken beauty has her eyes closed, her hair, nose and other facial features are very delicate, and she has the feeling of a beautiful man, but under the psychological effect, that handsome face always looks weird.

"This is my son, it's been less than two years since he leaked a head, and I think it won't be long before he will be able to move." The old man's tone sounded a little proud.

I turned my gaze to Yang Xiaoqi, his face was very gloomy, and he looked at it carefully over and over again, and I couldn't wait to take off my eyeballs and stick them on it.

"What's wrong?" I couldn't help but ask when I saw that he was strange.

He took a deep breath, breathing and breathing, and finally calmed down and said to me, "This man...... I know! ”。

I grass.

I was immediately frightened by his words. Could it be that this guy is also a drunken beauty? This one in front of him is his relative?

Yang Xiaoqi's body shook suddenly, and suddenly it was like grabbing the old man's neck. , I didn't expect to catch a void this time, and the old man dodged in a flash. Then he ran out the door with a brisk walk.

Yang Xiaoqi was not to be outdone, and quickly chased out. As soon as I saw it, I wouldn't be scared to death if he left. Thinking of this, I chased it out.

Yang Xiaoqi's speed was very fast, but the old man was faster, and when he and I finally chased him to the yard, we found that the old man was nowhere to be seen.

Yang Xiaoqi scolded angrily, and then told me not to chase it.

As he spoke, he went back to the windowless room, lit three cigarettes, and respectfully placed them beside the drunken beauty, looking very painful.

I was in a cold sweat watching from the sidelines, and I didn't know what the hell he was doing.

After waiting for a few minutes, seeing that Yang Xiaoqi still didn't say a word, he asked softly, "Hey, buddy, what's wrong?" Do you know this drunken beauty? ”。

Yang Xiaoqi glanced at me and said, "This person is my colleague when I was working in Qingyang Town, and his name is Lu Tao. I mentioned him to you. ”。

As soon as he said this, I had an impression that when I first wrote the necromancer file, I arranged this Lu Tao as the male number two, but later Yang Xiaoqi told me almost nothing about him in the story, in order to reflect the authenticity, I didn't use too much pen and ink to describe this person.

I remember that Yang Xiaoqi said that this person was in his thirties, very capable, and married. I didn't expect to see his body here.

I bowed to the corpse too. Ask Yang Xiaoqi what's going on? How could Lu Tao's body be in this place?

Yang Xiaoqi closed his eyes, as if he had drowned the pain in the darkness, and when he opened his eyes again, he returned to his previous calm and wisdom. He told me that when he came back from the 131 Hotel, because of the confusion of the whole thing, coupled with Geng Yan's coma and unbelief, and the whereabouts of Hu Zi and others in 131, he decided to investigate the matter thoroughly.

He needed manpower, so he thought of Lu Tao at the beginning. That capable and exciting policeman in Qingyang Town.

The two began a detailed investigation of the whole matter, first returning to the ancient tomb under the Li family Tuozi, and then going to Yingloulan again. But the discovery was not very big, and it didn't help the whole thing in any way, and finally the two returned to 131. Found the main burial chamber there until the tomb owner was a wizard of the Longarm Kingdom in antiquity. But there is still no constructive breakthrough.

Things seem to have reached an impasse after the two returned in 131. But ten days later, they were inexplicably assassinated. Thanks to the high vigilance of the two, they escaped the catastrophe.

But the people who chased and killed them were very powerful, and Yang Xiaoqi later learned that it was the Nine Great Families.

After hiding for a while, the two decide to start fighting back, as they encounter the Seven-Colored Order. It was the world's top killer organization where Dragon's Tooth belonged. With the help of Seven Colors, they soon discovered that Feijing and the others were not actually dead, and Seven Colors also gave them some information about the underground people.

With these information, Yang Xiaoqi investigated the remains of this underground people, which seemed to be near the ancient city under the sea and the source of the Yellow River. His intuition told him that the Nine Great Families must be looking for these places as well.

Yang Xiaoqi discussed with Lu Tao, and immediately decided to divide the soldiers into two separate ways to investigate. But what I didn't expect was that Lu Tao was gone in the end.

This incident happened three years ago, Yang Xiaoqi did not find the location of the undersea city that time, and Lu Tao has not appeared since then. Unexpectedly, he was killed here in the end.

"You mean Lu Tao has been dead for almost three years?" I asked.

Yang Xiaoqi nodded and said, "You must wonder why the body is not decomposed, right?" He's now completely back to normal.

I nodded.

He said: "It's very simple, that old man is using Lu Tao's corpse as a living dead. The corpse qi of all the people he killed was stored in Lu Tao's body. To be precise, this whole house is a tomb, and the location where Lu Tao is located is where the treasure eye of the entire tomb is located, and the corpse qi around it will be absorbed by his corpse. This kind of place is also known as a corpse farm. ”。

"You mean that old man was lying to us in the first place? There are no drunken beauties here at all? I asked.

Yang Xiaoqi shook his head and said, "No! That old man is the drunken beauty. ”。
