Chapter 11: Hungry Ghosts Evolve
I didn't have time to think about it, so I quickly turned to the side and took the mirror in my hand. When the wind hit again www.biquge.info I followed the direction of the wind. After a terrible roar, a gray object quickly descended in a cloud of smoke, and just as I was paying attention to the mass of objects, a dark figure quickly flapped its wings and flew into the distance.
As the shadow left, the alley in front of me gradually returned to light, and then I saw a dark shadow lying on its stomach. The black shadow was lying motionless, looking very weird, I looked at Zhang Liu beside me, and then walked over step by step. As I got closer, the silhouette of the shadow became clearer, apparently a huddled figure.
"Hello? Friend, are you alright? "Since I couldn't tell whether the man was male or female, I didn't rush to add the title. But I shouted a few times, and the man kept that curled up position and didn't make any movement!
After getting closer, I suddenly realized: no matter how much you disguise, normal people have to breathe! If you deliberately have a significant change in contraction and expansion, even if you hold your breath for a while, you still have to gasp for breath after all, otherwise you will have to suffocate to death.
Although I didn't walk slowly, the road was not long from the time I found out that it was close to this time, but I walked very carefully, not to mention that it was at least two or three minutes. If you endure not breathing for such a long time, you will either have practiced the breath-holding Dafa Turtle Breath Gong or something, or you will probably be a dead person!
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sweat, so I simply walked over with the mirror in my left hand and the soul knife in my right hand, and Zhang Liu watched me eat and smile beside me.
Finally walked into the man's side, I leaned down slightly and shouted twice, but I still didn't pay attention to it, so I squatted down and fiddled with the soul knife a few times, and at the same time the mirror light in my hand was also aimed at the person.
The man finally stretched out, and then the smell of blood and rot came to his face. Then I looked at the man, no, the humanoid corpse exactly! The reason why it is said to be a humanoid corpse is very simple, it can be seen that it is a humanoid shape in general, but that appearance must be out of breath!
There was hardly a complete part of the man's body, and his left hand and right leg had been gnawed and only a trace of tendons hung on the bones, and even those bones had some traces of gnawing!
There is a delicate ring on the ring finger of the relatively intact right hand, and the sole of the left leg is also gnawed pitted, and when you look up, two large pieces of the inner thigh have been gnawed off, and the bubbling dirty blood is still flowing.
The man's chest seemed to be torn open to both sides, and occasionally a little muscle could be seen. The internal organs inside have been gnawed, and even the intestines have been inexplicably broken, and the yellow and red mixtures in it emit a foul smell!
The man's heart appeared to have been cut off, and the incisions in the surrounding blood vessels were unusually smooth and flat. What you see upwards is an unusually twisted neck, and if you look at the folds, it must have been twisted seven or eight times in a counterclockwise direction.
The man's face was screwed to the ground, but the back of my head was cut open alive with two fist-sized blood holes, and the residue of dirty blood and ** mixed could be seen at the hole. A wrinkled mass of brain could be seen through the hole, but it was noticeably shrinking from below.
"Be prepared!" Zhang Liu said with a sudden smile, and then snapped my fingers when I looked up at her, and nine golden babies spun quickly and flew towards the man's head, and then I swept the corner of my eye to the man's head as if it was being straightened.
Although I didn't want to look at it, curiosity drove me to lower my head, and suddenly a mutilated human face appeared in my eyes. The face was almost invisible, and a large piece of the left cheek had been bitten off, revealing a row of teeth inside.
The two eyeballs have been hollowed out, there is a thin slit on the forehead, there are three small blood holes side by side on the right cheek, and there are still some small worms wriggling inside, the right ear on the side is not as complete as the left ear, and a clear bite mark is still left on the missing half of the right ear.
After a few glances, I felt that I could no longer suppress the strong feeling of nausea in my body, and then I quickly ran to the side, leaned against the wall and vomited.
I finally resisted the urge to vomit, and then gasped and pointed to the corpse and asked, "Could this be the corpse devouring case described by Team Zhou before?" ”
"But didn't you just see that the real murderer Thousand Souls had already exploded?" Zhang Liu said with a smile.
"Uh, yes! If that's the case, isn't this a corpse devouring case now! But another new case? I looked at her with some confusion.
"That's not right! Your expression shows that this is the corpse devouring case! Or rather, there are actually two factors in this case, the previous Thousand Souls is something I already know on the surface; And I shouldn't know about this for the time being, but the method should be different......"
I touched my chin and pondered: Judging from Zhang Liu's facial expression, it is obvious that this is the corpse devouring case, but Qiansoul has already admitted that he is the real murderer before! Could it be that there is something else hidden in this?
A thousand souls, devouring corpses! No, it seems that the Thousand Souls are sucking the souls of others, not eating corpses! Gnaw on corpses! By the way, it is impossible to measure the results with the current scientific instruments by absorbing souls, so what the police are in contact with is indeed a corpse devouring case! That is, the corpse that remains at the scene of the crime after being bitten on the surface!
Thinking of this, I looked at the corpse not far away, if my reasoning is correct, the thousand souls have actually been deceived by illusions all along! She had always thought that she was the real culprit who caused the deaths of those people, but in fact, before she could absorb those souls, what was presented to her was already a corpse.
But since it was already a corpse, how could the thousand souls not notice it? I looked at Zhang Liu in confusion, and she tilted her head to look at me with a smile on her face, "What did you think of?" ”
"You didn't bring me here blindly, you noticed something before, and then under the pretext of letting me see the night view of the city, in fact, you are looking for something or someone that you care about very much!" I said the thoughts that crossed my mind.
"Right! Indeed, the moment I came into contact with the Thousand Souls, I felt that there was another aura attached to her, it was a very ancient and murderous aura, but I couldn't be sure! Because there seems to be something strange about that smell. Zhang Liu pointed to the corpse and asked, "If you saw this for the first time, and then asked you to name a powerful ghost, which one would you think of?" ”
"Devourer, orc? Well, no, it shouldn't be such an awkward title. I thought," I glanced up and down the corpse from time to time, and suddenly a title flashed through my mind: "Huh? You just said that it is very ancient, that is, this terrible ghost was once known to the world, if this is combined with this corpse, I think it should be able to correspond to the hungry ghost! ”
"That's right! It's a hungry ghost, a powerful ghost known for its gluttony. But as I said, it's a little strange, first of all, the hungry ghosts are group gobbins, and by hampers I mean they're very small! Secondly, the hungry ghost can't fly, but the one just now is not only about the same size as you, but the key is that he can fly! ”
"In addition, hungry ghosts are low-level ghosts that follow instinctive actions, and they can be easily destroyed by many spells, but why can't even a thousand souls perceive their existence; Finally, there is another point, hungry ghosts do not have any form of spiritual communication, let alone spiritual inducement, so the thousand souls actually don't know that what they are absorbing is only the soul of a dead corpse, which makes me even more unsure that they are hungry ghosts! ”
After listening to Zhang Liu's words, I thought for a moment and then asked, "If a person dies, won't the soul leave the corpse?" ”
Zhang Liu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said in surprise with round eyes: "That's right! You reminded me. According to common sense, once a person's soul dies, it will be driven out of the body immediately, because there is no way to stop the soul of the energy form from wandering freely without a body without autonomous consciousness! ”
"So there's someone behind these hungry ghosts?" I looked up at the moon in the sky.
"Well, there is a possibility, but I'm also worried about another possibility, those hungry ghosts have progressed, or in your human world, they have evolved!" Zhang Liu frowned, and also looked at the round of Gouyue.
"Why did you think of evolution?" I retracted my gaze and looked at the corpse again, and the corpse was slowly becoming shriveled up, and the blood that had been flowing was gradually drying up.
"The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest! This is not only the law of survival in your human world, but also the law of survival in the spiritual world. The spiritual world has been constant for thousands of years, and that does not conform to the rules of natural operation! ”
"For example, those demagogic masters of charm, that is, the charms of the four kings and ghosts that you call charms, used to be mostly beautiful and seductive, especially the bewitching beauties, who can succeed almost every time."
"And now, the status of women in the human world has improved a lot, and beautiful women alone can't eat all over the world, so some will become beautiful men. Nowadays, however, people's eyes have improved, and their preferences have become more diverse, some people like beautiful women, some people like food and beautiful scenery, and some people like very different things. The art of enchantment is much more sophisticated than it was thousands of years ago. ”
After Zhang Liu finished speaking, he lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said to me with a serious face: "I hope it's just the first case, so we just need to focus on dealing with the person who controls it; But if it's the second type, it's terrifying, imagine that even low-level ghosts can evolve independently, so what will other high-level ones evolve into? ”
"And now we all know that the purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes is probably to find a way to break the barrier between the human world and the spirit world, if it really succeeds, the human world is estimated to fall soon! The chain reaction that will be triggered by that time may not be what you want to see. Zhang Liu said with a stroke of her hand, and after a flash of light, she walked into the scroll with nine golden babies, and then the scroll automatically rolled up and disappeared in front of my chest in an instant.
"I don't know how many times I can enjoy the moon so casually, maybe we have to face not only the mastermind behind the scenes, but also the ghosts you said evolved!" With that, I sighed softly.
"When did you become so pessimistic? I remember you always being optimistic! Suddenly, a sweet female voice sounded behind me.
I turned around to look and saw a beautiful woman in a white OL suit walking towards me at the mouth of the alley with a smile. The slim suit wraps around her slightly plump figure, with gray shiny stockings and black pointed-toe heels, which can be regarded as a slight gesture if not the ultimate temptation.
Looking up through the street lamp, there are two slender crescent eyebrows lying on the slightly baby fat goose egg face, the slightly towering Qiong nose wrinkles mischievously from time to time, and a pair of smiling beautiful eyes on the left and right flashed from time to time, and a fleshy red lip is painted with some crystal lip gloss, with a pair of charming dimples, not a goddess, but can also be called a beauty.
"What's wrong? You won't forget my tablemate after all these years, right? You men are really unconscionable! The woman pouted, and suddenly the sensuality and lip gloss made people feel the urge to kiss it.
I swallowed my saliva, then tried to take a few deep breaths, and waited for myself to calm down a little before responding: "Hey, it's not that I don't recognize people, it's just that I don't have a beautiful table mate like you in my memory, of course, it's not that my table is not beautiful, but compared to you, it's a lot inferior!" ”
"Humph! If you are flamboyant, you men will coax people sweetly, and then you don't want to be responsible after you cheat it, it's all a virtue! The woman had already come to me as she spoke, and then she stretched out two slender arms around my neck and glanced at me with an ambiguous expression.
"Why haven't you remembered yet? I'm Dongfang Mengxi who has been sitting at the same table with you for six years, if I hadn't done well in the exam at that time, I guess I could still have a high school with you, and then I went to another ordinary high school, and I have cut off contact with you since I moved, but I didn't expect to meet you here again today! She laughed again.
"How can you be sure!" I couldn't help but panic when I heard this. (To be continued.) )
