Chapter 184: The Vampire Boy
Old Uncle Huang handed me a packet of white powdered things, like salt, which I knew was a special powder he had specially prepared to deal with Gu worms yesterday afternoon.
Picking it up, I walked up to Zhou's lame corpse in horror, grabbed a handful and sprinkled it evenly on his face. As the white powder fell on the corpse, the red maggots seemed to be burned by the fire, and began to writhe, and the body gradually became thinner and shorter, and in less than half a minute, it was "compressed" into a small thin line like a man's short hair, and it no longer writhed.
A minute later, Zhou's lame body made a sound similar to that of a mosquito, and then the flesh on his face began to sink, and the color of his skin darkened.
Three minutes later, it turned into a gray-black corpse.
I was stunned and familiar with this scene - the night my grandmother left, her old man's body also underwent such a change.
At this time, Captain Han and Captain Lu walked back again, and they were all surprised to see the changes in Zhou's lame body.
"Why did it become like this!" Captain Han said in amazement.
"Yes! It looks like he's been dead for a long time. Captain Lu also muttered.
A few minutes later, Director Zheng rushed over and called me and Lao Huang aside.
"Master Huang, what's going on?"
I didn't pay attention just now, but then I realized that Old Uncle Huang's face was pale and he looked preoccupied.
I also wondered, no matter what, Zhou Cripple is dead, and he deserves it, why is he more nervous!
Old Uncle Huang sighed and said, "You have also seen that this cripple is a dead man by a long time ago - it seems that he is also a living dead man manipulated by Gu worms!" ”
Director Zheng's face changed slightly, but he didn't show any surprise, which showed that everything was expected by him.
"Master Huang, what should I do about this? Who let the Gu worm control him! ”
I was also confused by his words - everyone always thought that everything that happened recently was Zhou Cripple behind the scenes, and all the evidence and signs also led to him, who knew that the truth was about to be revealed, but found that he was just a tool to be used.
"He was ......"
Before Lao Huang finished speaking, he stopped abruptly, then looked at me with a strange expression, and suddenly shouted, "It's that little boy!! ”
Little boys? I instantly remembered the appearance of the boy we brought out of the morgue, looking at the skinny little guy, who was only seven or eight years old, how could he be the murderer behind the scenes! But after thinking about it, in the morning, he pointed to Zhou Cripple and asked him why he hadn't died yet, and he was an old man at all listening to his voice - could it be that he was an old man with a baby face like Uncle Mingyue?
For a while, none of the people present reacted to what was going on, Lao Huang frowned, and shouted to Captain Han behind him, "What about the kid?" ”
"Let Xiao Li take care of it, it should be ...... It should be in Xiao Li's office! ”
Captain Han hurriedly replied.
"Take me with you!"
"Good...... Good! Perhaps from the change in Lao Huang's face, Captain Han saw that the situation was urgent, and he didn't dare to be sloppy, so he trotted to the police office on the second floor.
We are not far behind.
As soon as Captain Han pushed open the door of the office on the second floor, there was immediately a pungent smell of blood.
I also blame me for being a dog's nose, as soon as I smell this, I already have a premonition that something is wrong.
Sure enough, when I scurried to the door, there were two policewomen lying on the ground, surrounded by a large pool of blood.
Looking around, I noticed a policewoman curled up in the southwest corner, her head in her hands, her body shaking like chaff.
Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene in the house.
"Yes...... It's Xiao Li and Xiao Zhang, probably ...... Probably not! Captain Han shouted with a pant.
Xiao Li and Xiao Zhang were two or three meters apart, but the blood stains under the two of them had already been connected, and it was estimated that the blood on both of them was running out at this time......
Then Director Zheng and two forensic doctors came to the scene, and the forensic doctors first checked the condition of Xiao Li and Xiao Zhang, and then shook their heads at Director Zheng, meaning that they should be dead.
Director Zheng's brows were twisted into a pimple: "Can you see the cause of death?" ”
An older forensic doctor replied softly: "The specific cause of death will not be known until further autopsy, looking at the condition of the corpse, the preliminary judgment is that it was due to two holes in the neck, excessive blood loss and death-this hole is surrounded by human tooth marks, could it be bitten by someone?" - But this row of tooth marks is on the small side......"
Two other policemen went to help the policewoman huddled in a corner, shivering.
"Cannibalism! Cannibalism! Youkai eat people! ”
The policewoman was dragged to the crowd, and she kept repeating it. I was startled when I saw the look on her face.
It can be seen that this was originally a girl with clear eyebrows, but now her eyes are dull, her face is bloodless, and her jaw is still drous, obviously insane.
"What about the kid?"
At this time, Captain Han remembered the boy who had asked Xiao Li to take care of before.
"Kid? He...... He's not a child, he's a blood-sucking boy! ”
At that time, the situation was urgent, and Lao Huang did not have time to explain what a bloodsucking boy was, and it was not until ten in the evening that he had time to explain when I asked again.
The so-called vampire boy, at first glance, seems to be a name for a child, but in fact it is a name for an old man.
Speaking of which, the term vampire boy originates from an ancient cult in the Miao Xinjiang region, and legend has it that this ancient cult is also the predecessor of shamanism, and there is a very strange Gu technique in the sect, which can rejuvenate oneself with the help of child Gu.
The specific operation method of this Gu technique is unknown to outsiders, and it is said that it was lost hundreds of years ago.
According to legend, if you want to achieve rejuvenation through this Gu technique, you must kill more than a dozen children between the ages of 1 and 5 to cultivate child Gu, and by constantly absorbing the yin qi on the body of the child Gu, and then with the help of scorpions, centipedes, spiders, poisonous snakes and other yin insects to bite their own skin in turn, it can be achieved.
The so-called rejuvenation is actually not like in the mythological TV series, the black hair immediately turns white, and the wrinkles disappear in an instant. It's a long and tortuous process.
When the bloodsucking boy absorbed the yin qi of three or five child Gus, his body would shrink, and in about a few weeks, he would shrink to the appearance of seven or eight years old, and then his skin and hair would change.
The most difficult thing is the change of voice, of course, once the voice becomes a child's voice, this person will completely achieve "rejuvenation".
Easier said than done!
It is said that it takes at least half a year for a vampire boy to complete the transformation of his voice, during which he looks like a child's body, but his voice is that of an old man, so that he will look nondescript when he speaks, so the vampire boy at this stage will generally not speak.
