Chapter 25: Approaching the Truth

Walking into the depths of the Yellow Spring Valley, the temperature around was getting lower and lower, and there was a faint black yin qi floating in the air. I knew the weirdness of Huangquan Valley, so I didn't dare to stay longer, and I stepped out of the "ghost shadow step" under my feet, and my body rushed forward like a storm and lightning.

"Ghost Shadow Step" is a basic skill that every ghost master must be proficient in, and it has the same effect as the Taoist "Earth Shrinking Technique", which is a spell that allows the practitioner to travel thousands of miles in a day. The only difference is that the "Ghost Shadow Walk" allows the sorcerer's physical body to remain in a spirit state during activation, making it immune to all attacks from the outside world. Another point is that if you perform the "Ghost Shadow Step" in a place where the Yin Qi is strong, the sorcerer will move faster.

It is not an exaggeration to perform the "ghost shadow step" in a place like Huangquan Valley, and the speed of running is almost catching up with the high-speed rail.

It took me less than ten minutes to make my way out of the Yellow Spring Valley, where a towering and steep mountain cliff stretched in front of me.

Surrounded by mountains, I gradually lost my way, took out my mobile phone and clicked on the satellite positioning of the village, but I didn't expect that the village was located on the cliff in front of me.

But how do you get there? With such a steep mountain wall, if there is no rope ladder or something, it is simply impossible to climb it with your hands and feet.

I suddenly thought of the bottomless abyss I saw when I came out of the underground cave that day, and I couldn't help but wonder: could that abyss be the place I am in now?

I looked up at the height of the cliff, but it was only a few hundred meters, but the bottomless abyss I saw that day was definitely more than a few hundred meters deep, so it was not the same place.

If you don't have a rope ladder, climb it with your bare hands, and just as I was about to act, a bloody female corpse fell from the sky and almost hit me.

"It's good to flash fast!" I said with a sigh of relief.

The female corpse fell from such a height, her body almost shattered, her head sunken deeply, her face distorted into a ball, and it was impossible to see her face.

I crouched down to examine the woman's corpse, her skin was unusually shriveled, and at first glance, it seemed as if only a pair of skin bags were wrapped around the skeleton, as if the blood had been drained from her body.

When I looked closer, I was surprised to find that there was a large black hole in the palm of the female corpse's hand, and the same hole in her arm, neck, and thigh. Curious, several small black worms crawled out of those holes, and I picked up a small sharp stone and stabbed one of the worms to death. The moment the stone pierced into the body of the insect, I only heard a crisp sound of "pop", and the small insect exploded into a cloud of blood mist in an instant, and bright red blood splashed on my body. I raised my blood-stained hand, put it in front of my nose and sniffed it, and exclaimed, "It's human blood!" ”

In this way, it was the three inconspicuous worms that sucked all the blood out of the woman's body, causing her death.

I subconsciously stepped back a few meters, swallowed my saliva unconsciously, and said in my heart: "There are such vicious insects in the world......

Speaking of killing insects, I suddenly remembered a kind of evil art that was prevalent in some remote mountainous areas of Yunnan in the past - "Gu art".

What is "Gu"? "Gu" is to put a variety of highly poisonous poisonous insects into a utensil, let them kill each other, and the last surviving poisonous insects are "Gu". The person who made the Gu used spells to manipulate the Gu insects to harm people, which was a "Gu technique".

In the eyes of most people, "Gu art" is mysterious and unpredictable, and it can often kill people invisibly, and everyone who hears it is terrified. I see that the female corpse in front of me looks like someone has been tricked into Gu, and those black insects that emerge from the corpse should be Gu worms, I don't know what kind of Gu it is.

The first time I saw the death of this female corpse, I suddenly thought of the bizarre murder case in a Western restaurant that happened a few days ago. According to the testimony provided by eyewitnesses and the surveillance video footage set up in the restaurant, no one had contact with the victim during Zhou Xia's meal. The police have also investigated the waiter who received Zhou Xia, but they have found nothing. The weirdest thing about this case is that no one has touched Zhou Xia, but she bled during the meal, and finally died of excessive blood loss. What puzzled me the most was the testimony provided by Jiawen, who said that she saw the soul of the deceased dissipate quickly after leaving her body with her yin and yang eyes. Although so many days have passed, the police still have not given the final results of the case.

Zhou Xia died due to hemorrhagic shock, and eighty percent of the female corpse was also due to the same reason. Wait, if that's the case, then wouldn't Zhou Xia have been tricked?

I turned on my phone and quickly entered a string of numbers on the screen, and after the phone was connected, I said excitedly: "Xiao Zhong, it's like this, I have something I want to ask you about the murder case in a Western restaurant!" ”

On the other end of the phone, Xiao Zhong hesitated for a while, then replied in a low voice, "What does Brother Chen want to know?" ”

"Xiao Zhong, did you make any strange discoveries during the autopsy of the victim's body? Even the smallest details will do. "My heart is full of anticipation, hoping that Xiao Zhong's reply is the answer I want.

Xiao Zhong pondered for a moment and said to me slowly: "If you want to say that the strange discovery is that there is a black lightning pattern on the back of Zhou Xia's neck, I told Brother Chen about this. ”

"Anything else you've discovered?"

"Hmmm......"

Xiao Zhong fell silent again, and the sound of looking through the paper came faintly from the other side of the phone, and after a few minutes, Xiao Zhong said in a hurried tone: "Brother Chen, in fact, during the autopsy, I found a strange black worm in the eardrum of the deceased's ear. Seeing the worm wriggling in the ear of the deceased, I hurriedly picked it out with a scalpel and put it in a petri dish to study it. Out of curiosity, I took the scalpel and gently poked the worm's body, and guess what? In the blink of an eye, the worm exploded into pieces with a "pop" sound, and blood splattered everywhere. I wondered how a small worm could have bleed so much, and the blood had been tested to be the blood of the deceased. I said in my heart that there are still vampire-like bugs in the world, and when I checked the Internet, I didn't find out that they were ugly. This incident was so weird that I didn't tell Lao Xing and Team Ling, and I didn't write it into the autopsy report. ”

I said to Xiao Zhong with appreciation: "It's a wise choice that you didn't write it into the autopsy report, and most people will definitely not believe such a thing as a strange insect killing people." ”

Xiao Zhong asked me why I suddenly remembered to ask this case, if I hadn't broken the casserole today to ask the end, Xiao Zhong probably would never have said anything about the discovery of the black bug.

I told Xiao Zhong about what happened to me at the bottom of the cliff in the village, focusing on the death of the female corpse and the characteristics of the insects. After hearing this, Xiao Zhong suddenly said mysteriously: "Brother Chen, do you think Zhou Xia was killed by someone?" I heard you talk about the female corpse, and I always feel that it is similar to Zhou Xia's death. ”

"I think the same way, but unfortunately there is no evidence."

If Zhou Xia was really killed by someone, then her strange death and her soul that dissipated as soon as she left her body would make sense.

I asked Xiao Zhong not to tell anyone about today's conversation, and at the same time asked him to help me check the information related to Gu arts.

"Xiao Zhong, you focus on the Gu technique that can suck the blood of living people and make people's souls dissipate quickly after leaving the body."

"Wrap it up on me, I'll check it now!"

After hanging up, I couldn't help but sigh, feeling that I was getting closer and closer to the truth.
