Chapter 270, man-eating monsters
I can't understand Gong Aowei's words, immortality and immortality, there should be nothing more tempting in this world than this, what the ancient emperors were looking for was the method of immortality. But in his whole life, no one got anything. Now in front of me lies an old monster that has lived for 5 or 6 hundred years, but this guy thinks immortality is a painful curse.
Standing and talking doesn't hurt my back, I can only think of using this sentence to evaluate him.
But I didn't say these words to a dying man, so I chose to sigh lightly and focus my attention again on the aftermath of that small-town killing.
I asked Gong Aowei, "After you were caught, was the box missing?" β
"It's gone. The church people took me with them to arrest Abigail, and all of them died, and I died inside. But I wasn't really dead, I was just treated like a dead person, and I don't know exactly how long it took, but I crawled out of the graveyard anyway, and I've been looking for the box ever since, and I didn't find it until the year before last. Gong Aowei said.
"What have you been doing all these years?" I continued to ask.
"Look for death." Gong Aowei replied to me half-jokingly. I couldn't tell his expression on his face now, and I didn't know what kind of state of mind he was in when he said those two words, but he quickly explained to me: "My heart has been gouged out, this hollow, numb feeling is hard for you to imagine, I am tormented by a difficult emptiness every day, I find all kinds of ways to kill myself, but every time I come back to life, even if I cut my body into pieces." Finally I gave up, knowing that if I wanted to die, I had to find the box. β
"Where's your heart? Have you got it back now? I asked.
Gong Aowei smiled, and then turned his gaze to Abigail beside him again, and said, "My heart is here." β
His line is sensitive, but the change of direction also answers my question, he is still being tortured by witches, which is probably why he finally chose to end his life by natural death, which is probably the most happy ending for him.
I've figured out the cause and effect of the incident, but the question also comes, what should Wei Xueying do?
I threw this question to Gong Aowei again.
Gong Aowei's answer was the same as before. He said that Wei Xueying's body could not be taken back, but his sons would be responsible for Wei Xueying to the end, and once they found a suitable body, Wei Xueying could immediately change it back.
In addition, Gong Aowei added that he didn't plan to let Wei Xueying exchange souls so soon, and the old lady surnamed Gou was just a suitable candidate, but Wei Xueying touched the box of revenge and released Abigail's soul in the box, and the corpse powder that was originally used to suppress Abigail's soul was also sucked into Wei Xueying's body.
In order to save Wei Xueying's life, Gong Aowei had no choice but to make this exchange in advance, because it was too hasty, so both Wei Xueying and Mrs. Gou were affected by the corpse powder and Abigail's soul, which was not only mental, but also physical, which is why I was almost beaten by these two women several times.
Gong Aowei is going to die, and his words should not be a lie. And Wei Xueying also admitted a qiΔ, I think those who borrow their lives, age instantly or something should not exist.
As for the old lady's cecal cut scar, I think it may just be a coincidence, Wei Xueying chose to let Li Xueying see the scar at that time, probably because she felt that it was more acceptable to people than soul transfer, or instant aging, and judging from the results. She did make the right decision.
Finally, I confirmed with Gong Yan that if Gong Aowei died, would he really keep his promise.
Gong Yan swore to me that no matter what happened, as long as there was still a gasp in the Gong family, he would definitely be responsible for Wei Xueying to the end. Although the Gong family is a bit arrogant and likes to use force, they have always adhered to the principle of "not killing innocent people" and have never broken the precepts.
Gong Yan's expression was very strict when he said these words, and I could see that he was a person who did what he said, so I didn't need to ask anything.
Two days later, there was a bombshell news that Gong Aowei, the chairman of the Gong Group, died young, and his funeral was still low-key, and he didn't even invite any relatives and friends, and even the cause of death was a mystery. Some speculate that he was assassinated by the Italian mafia, and some speculate that he simply faked his death, but they would not have thought of the real cause of Gong Aowei's death anyway.
After this turmoil passed, I also went to Weiwei's house to pick up Li Siqi and explained everything I knew to her in detail.
Li Siqi can't be said to be completely satisfied with such a result, but her dissatisfaction is mostly a disgust with Wei Xueying's choice, not that she can't accept this ending. In terms of remuneration, I didn't ask her for money, and I returned the deposit she gave me before.
Li Siqi wanted to refuse, after all, she begged me to do something, and it was natural to pay, but I always felt that it was really awkward to accept her money, if I had to find someone to pay, maybe I should find someone from the palace family to get some compensation, or simply let Wei Xueying give me a part of her 100 million selling money.
In short, in the end, I worked in vain for the past few days, as for when I will get the reward for this incident back, then I can only wait for the people of the Gong family to find a suitable body for Wei Xueying, and what I got is probably the satisfaction of solving all the mysteries. In addition, I found some of the field with Vivi, which made me very happy, and this kind of happiness is not something that money can buy.
After a day off, the days were back to normal, as it was March, and what I needed to focus on was back to Death Assistant.
According to the clues provided by Ding Dang before, March will be the beginning of the death assistant to complete the last step of his hell puzzle, and I also contacted Ding Dang and Ming Kai to see if they have found any clues about the death assistant.
It's a pity that Ding Dang and Ming Kai didn't have any substantial gains, Linghai City has been calm during this time, and nothing strange has happened, I don't know if the death assistant noticed something and slowed down.
But I'm sure he's going to do something, because I have a doppelganger of him by my side, and according to Ai, in March, the Death Assistant will do something, and the first thing he's going to do must have something to do with the black sword.
When I was investigating the Vengeance Box before, I learned a piece of information, the death assistant bought an ancient sword at an antique auction, according to the auctioneer, this ancient sword seems to be very promising, although he did not explain the specific information, but Xiao Ai was able to introduce me to the origin of this black sword.
Xiao Ai said that this sword is a ritual sword in ancient Egypt, and it is a magic weapon used by Egyptian sacrifices to the god of death.
The goal of the death assistant is to bring the king out of hell and let him save the world and give a complete baptism to the world. According to Xiao Ai's "understanding" of the death assistant, before the last step is actually implemented, the death assistant will definitely carry out some realization, so in the near future, something strange will definitely happen in Linghai.
I am willing to trust Xiao Ai's judgment, because I myself believe that the death assistant cannot be stopped forever, so in the next few days I will pay attention to the news on the Linghai side every day, I didn't find anything strange, but what I didn't expect was that the strange thing actually found the door by itself.
That day, I was searching for news around Linghai as usual, and suddenly Wang Shan ran to my office in a hurry, and she said that there was a man who lived in Linghai who wanted to entrust Le Yitang with help, and there were strange bugs in his house.
Although I don't know anything about insects or anything, but since it's a strange thing that happened in Linghai, I have to take care of it, so I asked Wang Shan to help me with this job, and make an appointment with the other party, whether it's a video call, or if I have a face-to-face interview in the past, in short, I took this job.
Wang Shan was more cautious than me, and she decided to let me have a video call with the client first, and then confirm whether this monster really existed before I went over, so that I wouldn't have to run in vain. At 4 p.m. that day, I had an interview with my client via video link. The regiment died for a long time.
The client's surname is Luo, his name is Luo Da, he is a builder, he is going to get married in June, and he is currently renovating his new house, and the strange thing happened when he was renovating the new house. His house is a newly built garden villa in the city, because it is a newly built community, there are almost no people around, and the garbage cans are empty almost every day.
This is very important because there should be no pests that eat food scraps or garbage when no one is occupied, but the workers in charge of the renovation tell SΓΉ that there are cockroaches, like rats, in the new house, and they are not small.
Luo Da didn't pay much attention to it, so he asked the workers to get a few cockroach huts and sticky mouse boards and other things in the house, because he thought that there should not be too many bugs and rats in the new house.
Only a day later, the decorator called Luo Da in a panic, saying that they were no longer doing the work and that they didn't want the money, and then hung up the phone. Finding it strange, he left his work and hurried to the new house, where he was almost smoked and lay on the ground as soon as he opened the door, because of the disgusting stench that filled the room.
He pinched his nose and went into the house, and soon found the source of the stench, which was glued to the sticky rat board on the ground, and the stench emanated from the corpses of these bugs, and there were at least fifty of them in the whole room. I'm waiting for you in hell
Luo Da didn't say what the insect looked like, but in a more intuitive way, he directly put the corpse of a strange insect he put away in front of the camera for me to see.
The insect was about the size of half a hand, its body was whitish, and its flesh was very smooth, unlike the layered and segmented body structure of ordinary insects. Its six legs looked like shrunken, thinner human fingers, and the scariest thing was the bug's head! The head looked like a hairless human head, but the eyes were surprisingly large, and it reminded me of the Martians in science fiction movies.
This thing is so weird that it can make my jaw drop!
Rhoda swore to me that it wasn't his prank, and that he had contacted a lot of people before contacting me, even at biology universities, but no one could figure out what it was. And just a few days ago, the bones of a human were found near the garden house of Roda that had apparently been eaten by some kind of animal, and the bones were still covered with scraps of flesh.
Luo Da was frightened by this, he thought that it was probably this strange bug that did it, so he planned to sell the villa and live somewhere else, but he didn't expect that just yesterday, this kind of bug also appeared in the place where he lives now.
He really didn't have a job to recruit and rushed to the doctor, but he accidentally found the station of Le Yitang, and read the special notice I released to deal with the strange incident in Linghai in response to the death assistant, so he called to try his luck.
I don't know if this was his luck or my luck, but I was in charge of it, so the next morning, I set out again on the road to Linghai.
