Chapter Thirty-Eight: A Different Ghoul

"Bang! Bang bang! ”

Three gunshots broke the silence of the night, and it was naturally Alice, who couldn't hold her breath, to fire first. I thought that such a monster would react to the salt bullet, but I didn't expect the bullet to penetrate the monster's body without hindrance and hit the bed!

"Not a ghost!" Alice shouted and stepped aside to put on new bullets and test the monster.

Who knew that the monster seemed to be frightened, and instead of attacking the two of them, it turned around and jumped out of the window!

To the surprise of the two, Alice wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Lei Chan.

"What are you doing!? If you don't chase it, this monster won't know where to flee! Alice looked at Lei Chan angrily, but the latter shook his head and said, "Save people first!" ”

Alice was stunned immediately, but she was not a person who was eager for quick success, and the most fundamental reason for becoming a wandering exorcist was to save more people. She hadn't forgotten that in addition to the man's screams, she had heard the voice of a little girl.

As she opened the wardrobe by the wall, the sudden opening of the wardrobe startled the little girl inside. Alice smiled as kindly as she could, and opened her arms to the little girl and said, "You're all right, come out!" ”

Unexpectedly, the little girl seemed to be very afraid of Alice, and rushed straight to Lei Chan's feet and firmly grabbed his thigh. The little girl wanted to turn her head to look at the bed, but was gently picked up by Lei Chan, blocked her eyes and said, "Child, don't look, you are safe!" ”

After glancing at Alice, he walked out of the room. Alice took a complicated look at the little girl who hid her head in Lei Chan's arms, and for some reason she sighed deeply and followed.

...

In the end, Lei Chan still couldn't ask anything from Little Linda's mouth, and the little girl seemed to be frightened by her mother's sudden change, and never spoke again except for nodding and shaking her head.

After calling the police, Lei Chan handed over the little girl to the police. And after recording a very casual confession, he was freed.

When he walked out of the police station, Alice was already waiting outside. After seeing Lei Chan come out, she stepped forward and said, "What now?" The monster has escaped, it doesn't look like any monster I've ever seen, do you have a clue? ”

Lei Chan glanced at Alice deeply, and then slowly spoke: "Do you know ghouls? As he spoke, Lei Chan stopped a taxi.

After getting into the taxi, Alice was surprised when Lei Chan gave an address, because the destination was still the abandoned house.

The car was still moving, and Lovely Lise finally couldn't hold back the doubts in her heart.

"What exactly did you find?" Alice couldn't help but ask, "This place doesn't have a lot of corpses, and it doesn't have much history of killings." And as far as I know, where ghouls appear, the vast majority of them are because of plagues and famines. Plus, there are no ghouls who can last twelve years and only haunt once! ”

Lei Chan narrowed his eyes, not caring about the taxi driver's surprised eyes, and said to himself: "What you know are just ordinary ghouls, all of which are transformed from humans. Do you know ghouls from Arabia? Monsters born from mythical stories! ”

Alice was stunned for a moment, and by looking at her expression, she knew that she hadn't even heard of it.

Lei Chan was about to continue talking, but the taxi stopped, and it turned out that the abandoned house had arrived. After getting out of the car, Lei Chan handed out a 10-knife sheet and explained apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm just rehearsing the play, didn't scare you, right?" ”

However, seeing the driver's decisiveness to quickly collect the money and immediately hang up and leave, Lei Chan knew that this ordinary person was still scared by himself.

"What exactly are you talking about, ghouls from Arabia?" Alice saw that the taxi was far away, so she opened her mouth to continue the topic just now.

Lei Chan beckoned Alice into the ruined house, and walked towards the basement without the slightest hesitation, saying as he walked: "In the Arabic mythological system, the birth of ghouls is not simply transformed by humans. To put it simply, anyone with a bit of intelligence or instinct can become a ghoul.

It's just that unlike the native ghouls, the ghouls that the Arab system has evolved into, although they also live on corpses, but they retain their pre-change nature. I've checked the local county records, and although there have been no supernatural events, there have been several natural disasters! ”

"Acts of God?" As she went deeper and deeper into the basement, the surroundings became darker, and Alice had to use a flashlight to light the path ahead, "What natural disaster?" ”

Lei Chan, who was walking in front, drew the short knife in his scabbard, shone the light of the flashlight into the corner of the basement, and said, "Ghouls will be afraid of humans unless they have weapons in their hands that can hurt them. Your revolver has no effect on it, so why would a ghoul run away when he wasn't supposed to run away?

Of course, it's because of the instinct that comes every twelve years, but this instinct comes from its essence. As an insect, it shouldn't have a mind, but after evolving into a ghoul, it got rid of its instincts and became wise. Every time it appears, it is basically for reproduction and survival.

It's not so much about it as it is about them. Because every year the monster who commits this evil deed is not the same, but the only monster that is reproduced. Oh yes, I forgot to mention that this place has had a locust plague in the past! And the monster we see is the ghoul turned into locust! ”

As Lei Chan's words fell, a huge cave appeared in the corner in front of Alice's eyes. It's just that Alice was even more surprised that in front of the cave, there were ten figures standing in the shadows.

Some of the figures were already blurred, but there were still a few figures that could be seen very clearly. The clothes on the figures are also different, and Alice even sees the clothes of a hundred years ago.

"She... Who are they? Alice was a little surprised, and firmly grasped the revolver in her hand.

If it weren't for these figures standing motionless, looking at the two of them indifferently, and not making too many radical movements, I am afraid that Alice would have shot a long time ago.

Lei Chan walked through the figures standing in a row, as if he was about to enter the cave, and when he heard Alice's words, he replied, "They are the poor women who have been captured and eaten by that monster here for a hundred years." Their souls have been imprisoned in this place for a long time, and that's what I saw last time I was here. ”

Alice cautiously looked at the figures standing in place, confirming that they had no intention of attacking, but just looked at them with an indifferent face, and then caught up with Lei Chan's figure: "Why didn't you tell me last time?" ”

Lei Chan pursed his lips and said, "Don't forget, before we arrived, there were two other teams of exorcists who arrived here, and they both disappeared in this place. I don't know the details of the monster, and casually entering this ghost place, isn't it the same as sending it to death! ”

Alice was about to speak, but a woman's screams and curses came from ahead: "Stay away from me!" You monster! ”

The two glanced at each other and quickly rushed in the direction where the voice came from!

...

I had a fever and was sad
