Book 2: Ba Ren Bronze Hanging Coffin Chapter 67: Gu Xiao
The ghost's sudden unusual tone made all three of us turn our attention to him, and I was the first to approach, only to see him crouching on the ground, and in front of him there was a pool of transparent liquid, mixed with some kind of yellowish and viscous liquid, and on the pool of transparent and yellow* mixed liquid* there was a corpse, or should I say a mess of meat sauce, there was a round thing in the meat sauce, which looked quite complete, and this muddy thing was the flying object that had just been killed by the ghost, But now I can't tell what it is, and the only hope I can hope for what this flying thing is is this still complete round thing.
I untied the Qiankun knife from my waist and turned over the round thing, it turned out that this thing was the head of the flying thing, the whole head was oval, and it was covered with dark green hair, the characteristics of the hair were very special, not like the hair grown by ordinary creatures, but more like the layer of mold that grew out of the moldy after the thing was moldy and deteriorated, when I used the Qiankun knife to dial on it, I knew that it looked like the soft cotton wool was hard, and the Qiankun knife could feel like dialing on the shoe brush when the Qiankun knife was dialed on the hair, and there were two eyeballs on both sides of the head that protruded outward, The eyeballs are especially large, almost occupying half of the entire head area, take a closer look! This pair of eyes is composed of countless dense little black eyes, the light of the wolf's eye flashlight hits on it and lights up densely dotted highlights, after looking at it for a long time, it seems that this pair of black eyes is looking at me, I can't help but unconsciously shudder in my heart, under this pair of black eyes that make people look hairy, there is a long, thorn-like thing, and there are many small thorns on the thorns.
The ghost next to me asked me, "Wang!" What do you think is this? Why does it look so strange? ”
To be honest, I don't know exactly what kind of creature it is, and I've never seen one, so I shook my head at the ghost in confusion, and then said in a half-analytical, half-guessing tone, "But this clear liquid on the ground, I think it should be water, the water in the kettle." As I spoke, I picked up the black boy's water bottle that had been sucked flat in an instant, and gave the ghost a look, and it was this action that made me notice that there was a hole in the flat and wrinkled kettle in my hand that had been pierced by an unknown flying object before, and it seemed to be about the same size as this strange thorn on the ground.
The fat man, the black boy and the ghost don't need me to say more when they see this, and naturally they all understand that this thorn is the mouth of the unknown creature, and the unknown creature should have used this piercing into the black boy's kettle, and then sucked the water in the kettle dry at one time, but because its abdominal capacity is too amazing, so the kettle is also wrinkled while absorbing water.
After the fat man understood that the thorn was the mouth of an unknown flying object, he was surprised and said, "Wang! This...... What is this? It's so terrifying, I sucked the kettle flat in one go, I'll go! If you let it suck on a person, it won't become a dry corpse in an instant. ”
The fat man's words really had the effect of unintentionally inserting willows into the willows, and when he said this, he reminded me that I had thought that these corpses were dying very strangely, their skin was dry and wrinkled, and they still maintained the posture before they died. Now it seems that it is very likely that it was sucked by this unidentified flying object that is now dead, and the water and blood of the whole body were instantly drained before it became the death we see now?
With doubts, the four of us examined these corpses separately, and the result was really unexpected, as I expected, all the corpses could find holes of different sizes, some in the heart of the chest, some in the cervical vertebrae, some in the major artery of the neck, all of them were fatal, and I thought to myself, the holes on these corpses should have been pierced by the UFO, so it seems that these UFOs are not just one, they may be a group.
What's even more strange is that the black boy also found that the abdomen of each corpse was empty, and the intestines and cavity inside were gone, and what was even more strange was that after I used a Qiankun knife to cut open the abdomen of a corpse, I found that although the intestines and internal organs were gone, there were inexplicably more things like chrysalis shells, these things were not big, just the size of a fist, but the number was outrageous, countless, dense, sticking to the abdomen of the corpse, stuffing the abdomen of the corpse to the full, and I thought it was growing in the abdomen if I didn't look carefully.
Everything that resembles a chrysalis is also empty, as if the eggs inside have broken out of the chrysalis shell, and looking at these unbelievable, gasping ghosts ask me, "Wang!" Do you see a little bit of an eyebrow? What are these pupal shells, and how do they grow in the belly of a corpse? And also! Does this have anything to do with the monster I just killed? ”
"Yes! Yes! It's not just about relationships. After thinking about it, I was already a little excited, and continued with a tone of fear, "These are what they are born of, these chrysalis shells, they don't grow from the belly of the corpse, they are the kind of monster you just killed in it." According to the book, this kind of flying creature belongs to insects, but it is really not an ordinary insect, their name is "Gu Xiao", which is originally a mosquito larvae, but this kind of "Gu Xiao" is naturally not a mosquito, but a kind of monster specially cultivated by the ancient Miao people with mosquito larvae.
Gu Xiao can be said to be a vampire from hell, specially trained by the Miao people to guard the most poisonous Gu art in the ancient Miao people, the most proficient in evil arts, the cultivation book of the thing is not recorded, only wrote, "This thing is a thing of hell, the incarnation of a fierce spirit, a lost Gu, only the oldest, most mysterious Gu Miao people know the ins and outs of cultivation."
There are very few records of this kind of "Meng Xiao" from hell in the book, it is simply as few as the morning star, rare, as if they have never been just legends, more like the mysterious veil of Gu Xiao can not be revealed, but the book still describes their habits and reproduction, Gu Xiao is the staple food of sucking human blood, their lung capacity is extremely terrifying, three adult Gu Xiao can suck a Mongolian yak into jerky in an instant, sucking a person's blood is simply an appetizer for them, Gu Xiao reproduction is mainly to reproduce eggs in the abdomen of people, they are hermaphrodites, each Gu Xiao must suck a large amount of human blood before reproduction, when they suck a person dry instantly, they will be in the abdomen of the corpse into the eggs, these eggs will be dormant in the abdomen of the dried corpse that is sucked dry blood for a long time, almost after more than ten years or dozens of years before hatching, there are not many Gu Xiao who can successfully hatch, and the eggs that have not hatched have become the first meal of the hatched Gu Xiao, The vitality of each generation of Gu Xiao that has been successfully hatched is particularly strong, and the ability to adapt to the environment is also quite amazing, the most terrifying thing about them is that they can sleep in the tomb for hundreds of years, and if they are awakened, they will have a great appetite and prey on a large number of them.
As for how the young Gu Xiao we saw just now entered the head of the corpse, only it knows, maybe the adult Gu Xiao accidentally put the egg into it, and after it hatched, it flew around in the head of the corpse, which caused the corpse to move, and made us mistakenly think that the corpse would move by itself.
After hearing this, the fat man suddenly became cold and said to everyone, "Oh no! And where did the hatched little beasts go? You can see that these dozen corpses have broken pupal shells in their abdomen, which shows that there are many Meng Xiao who have successfully hatched. When the fat man said this, he couldn't help but use the wolf's eye flashlight to sweep around, and said, "Wang!" You say, do you think they're hiding in some dark corner and ready to sneak up on us from behind or something? Want me to say! Would it be safer for the four of us to go back-to-back now? ”
I should say, "No, no! No way! The newly hatched young Meng Xiao all need to eat a lot, otherwise they will die quickly, so they will never attack secretly, but on the contrary, they have always been in groups, rushing up, scrambling to suck all the hot-blooded creatures or people, and will not hide in the dark and wait for us to sneak attack, I am really most worried about Lan Xin and them, I don't know if those young Meng Xiao will meet them?
What I was worried about was exactly what the ghost was worried about, so I said to the ghost, "Wang! I'm a little worried about Lan Xin's side, the young Gu Xiao is not here, it must be to forage for food, so I will go in the direction of Lan Xin and them. After finishing speaking, he said to the fat man, "Fatty! Now we have to divide the army into two ways, you and the black boy are a team, responsible for staying, find the exit here, I have a gut feeling, the exit is here, and I and the ghost go back to find Lan Xin and them, if you and the black boy find the exit, go out first, leave us alone. ”
When the fat man heard this, he was a little upset and interrupted me, "What kind of!" Blackboy and I will wait for you for an hour at most, and if you don't come back after an hour, we'll go look for you. ”
Due to the urgency of time, I didn't compete with the fat man for a while, but just explained the sentence "Fat man!" If you accidentally meet Meng Xiao while looking for the exit, you must remember that you must not make a big move to alarm them, nor make a fuss, but outwit them, unless Meng Xiao takes the initiative to attack you. Since I understood the fat man's temper, I emphasized, "You remember it for me, don't be arrogant." ”
"Alright! Fucking nonsense, you're almost my mother. The fat man impatiently told me to go quickly.
So I took stock of the available equipment with the ghost, and rushed to the direction where Lan Xin and the others left, when I passed the arsenal, I was worried that I would really meet Meng Xiao, just in case, I and the ghost each brought a few MP18* submachine guns with magazines, although my marksmanship I know that I can't get on the table, but it's better than nothing, as the saying goes, punching and killing the master, then master, I can't shoot it blindly, not only ten of them!
I set off with the ghost reloaded, and after passing through the waterhole where we had fought the parasitic monsters before, we rushed all the way in the direction where Lan Xin and the others parted ways with us at the beginning, and on the way, I saw that the ghost was silent, and I briefly talked to him with a sad face.
I said, "Lao Wang! Don't worry too much, maybe I'm guessing that there is a problem, and those Gu Xiao don't necessarily want to forage here, Lanxin and their luck won't be so unlucky, let's relax a little, what do you say! ”
In fact, it was to comfort the ghost and to convince me to think on the bright side.
The ghost absent-mindedly responded to "Wang! That...... That, actually, that's what I thought! Right...... Right! Right! You're right! Their luck isn't that bad, right! …… Right! It won't be that bad! As he spoke, the ghost immediately changed his words and said, "Wang! Is that Gu Xiao really that terrifying? I mean it! Since I joined the special * team at the age of 20, I have performed a lot of dangerous tasks, large and small, and I have never been afraid, but ...... But I don't know why now, my hands just don't shake! A heart is up and down. ”
"Lao Wang! I know you're worried about Lanxin! How often am I not, but! Who are we? We are people who have experienced, we are excellent in terms of psychological quality and adaptability, you are so, I am so, and Lanxin is the same, so yes! So I think let's stop scaring ourselves and relax! Just relax! "That's what I say, but my heart is beating wildly.
As we spoke, we arrived at a fork in the road, both roads are bottomless caves, Lan Xin and they followed the officer guard, the officer guard's idea is to go up to find the exit, but these two forks are upward, for a while I and the ghost don't know how to decide, originally the tracking aspect should be the ghost's strength, but the distress is that this is a wet rock road, it is difficult to leave a trace of people passing by, unless it is a trace deliberately left by Lan Xin, although we are in a hurry, but after all, like I said, we are all people who have experienced it, so in this case there is still no confusion.
The ghost calmed down and said, "Wang, look carefully, you will definitely find something." ”
So the two of us looked around with a wolf's eye flashlight, and as soon as I looked down, I found that there was a modern thing on the ground, it was a black rubber band, and there were one or two remnants of long hair on it, it was obvious that this was a rubber band used by a woman to tie her hair, I sniffed it with my nose successively, there was a faint fragrance, this is the unique fragrance of Lanxin green silk, I used to dance ballroom dance with Lanxin in the private club of Yunnan "Kuishou", and smelled the light fragrance of her hair at close range. So I'm pretty sure this is Lanxin's rubber band, see this rubber band is deliberately placed, but it's small and black, ordinary people don't look at it seriously is invisible, looking at the rubber band, I suddenly remembered that at the beginning, Lanxin and we parted ways and said "Wu Nian!" I am a police officer, and it is my duty to protect the people. ”
Originally, I thought she meant to mean "the police * protect the people, so I chose not to believe me." But now I understand, it turns out that what Lan Xin said meant was that she would deliberately leave traces for me, so that I could come back and take them out, because she believed that I Wu Nian could find the exit, and she believed that I would not abandon them, but at that time, the kind of panicked situation, I said that I was not convinced, only if I found the exit, so Lan Xin made this decision, first with them, and then left clues along the way, so that I could come back and find them conveniently, this is the intention of Lan Xin, This rubber band is she deliberately left for me, she knows that I am thoughtful, will definitely find out her intentions, it seems that I am wrong to blame Lan Xin, not only does she not believe me, but she believes very much that I will be so good-hearted, I just say! Anyway, Lanxin and I have known each other for two years, and we have experienced several life and death things together before, how could she not believe me? How could she abandon me at a critical juncture? How could she hit me when I needed to be trusted the most?
Now that I understand Lanxin's true intentions, my heart suddenly brightens, as if I have learned some great joy, but then I am surprised by this feeling, why do I care so much about what she thinks of me? Since when? Don't...... Could it be that I've fallen in love with this hot female policeman who doesn't spare me on the lips, but cares about me in my heart? No, no, no! It's just a friend who cares, right! It's just a kind of care from friends, I guess so?
