Ye Yu looked at the vast grassland and blue sky and white clouds outside the train window, but his mood was not as sunny as this rare good weather. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Not long after arriving in Anchang City, he was not even hot on his buttocks, and he was dragged onto this high-speed railway non-stop and drove all the way to the unknown western town; What caused this sudden change in schedule was the mysterious notification that Lan Yu had received earlier.

"There's a strange case for me to deal with, and it happens to have something to do with you, so why don't you come with me?"

Strange case......

Ye Yu recalled Lan Jue's previous words, and couldn't help but think of the photo of the rotting corpse that Lan Jue had shown him before, and the feeling of nausea came up again.

A carrion corpse that "just died"? It's all rotting like this, how can it be ...... "just dead"? And still someone I know??

Ye Yu's mind quickly searched for relatives and friends he knew, and even the people he had interviewed when he was a reporter before, but he found nothing, and there didn't seem to be such a person far away in the west in his connections, which also made him feel more and more foggy.

"Alas......"

Ye Yu sighed softly, and moved his gaze back from the window back to the closed box where he was, Lan Yu on the opposite side was still busy on the tablet with a serious face, and he didn't want to explain anything to Ye Yu at all, and Ye Yu was too embarrassed to disturb the other party's work, so he could only sit and think nonsense.

"Tsk...... This is really troublesome......" Lan Jue shook his head, finally put down the tablet, and stretched.

"What, is this case tricky?" Ye Yu cautiously probed.

"Huh? Oh, you're mistaken, it's the ...... in the bureau Forehead...... Anything else, not the case of the carrion. Lan Yu said vaguely, and suddenly as if he remembered something, he took out another electronic file board and handed it to Ye Yu.

"I was busy with something else just now, so I haven't had time to explain it to you, oh, this is the information I have obtained so far about this rotting corpse case, you can take a look at it first."

Ye Yu took the document board and glanced at it roughly, and the expression on his face gradually changed from doubt to incredulity.

“…… Attacks on livestock and villagers...... Shot on the spot?? Ye Yu was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. This...... This 'carrion corpse' can act like a living person and attack people?? How is this possible! It's not a zombie movie! ”

"But there are eyewitnesses, and there is more than one." Lan Jue said. "However, what we have obtained so far is only preliminary information, and the specific situation will not be known until we go to the field."

"But...... In a case like this, which is almost bizarre, even if you look for it, you should go to the police, right? Why did you come to us with the Special Investigation Bureau? Ye Yu was still puzzled.

"Well...... The reasons are complex. Lan Jue thought about it and said slowly. Presumably you should know where the seven Blood Keystones that are currently circulating in the world were unearthed, right? ”

"It is said that it seems to be from the tomb of the Loulan nobles in the ancient Western Regions...... Is that right? ”

"That's right, and the place where the ancient tomb is located is within the western district under my jurisdiction, to be exact, not far from the village where this 'zombie case' occurred."

"Huh? Don't...... This incident has something to do with that ancient tomb?? Ye Yu was taken aback.

"Not really." Lan Jue shook his head. "It's just because of the importance of that tomb that the area around the tomb has been designated as a sensitive area by the state, and in addition to the daily monitoring by the police, if there is any difficult case in the vicinity, we will also be notified to the Special Investigation Bureau to assist in solving it, and this time is the same."

"So that's ......," Ye Yu thought. But I still don't understand...... Why did this case disturb a high-ranking official of your rank? And you said I might know this 'carrion'...... What's going on? ”

"I've heard you've investigated a case privately, right? It seems to be an incident where a female middle school teacher named Lupe fell from a building. Lan Jue did not answer directly, but suddenly brought up another case.

"Yes, this female teacher is suspected of being involved in the disappearance of several students, and we found out that this person was secretly helping someone collect a list of students who dropped out of school, and the students on her list have disappeared one after another, but unfortunately with the death of this person, it seems that the investigation has come to a standstill...... "Ye Yu recalled." By the way, why did you suddenly ask about this? ”

"The police have done DNA identification of the 'zombie' carrion body that attacked the livestock in this case, and at the same time compared it with the national missing person information database, and the results have come out." Lan Yu said, pointing to the document board in Ye Yu's hand. "You just flip down the doc and you'll see."

Ye Yu hurriedly flipped through the document in his hand again, and sure enough, he found the identity description of this "rotting corpse".

Wang Liangming, male, 17 years old, from Xiayang City...... Wait, Wang Liangming?? Ye Yu suddenly remembered something. This...... Isn't this the student who appeared on Lupe's list before?! I remember that it seems to have been missing for a long time, how could it suddenly appear in a western village thousands of miles away, and become a ...... It's like this......"

Ye Yu muttered to himself in a low voice, and a strange feeling intensified in his heart.

"Lu Pei's fall, the missing list, and Wang Liangming, who is 'zombied'...... I once suspected that Lupe's death and what she did had something to do with the 'devouring' organization, and if I follow this inference, it is possible that this 'zombie case' is behind ......."

"It may also have something to do with that 'devouring'." Lan Jue nodded and said. "To be honest, although there is no tangible evidence yet, I also think that this matter is very strange, so I plan to go out and see the situation in person."

"'Devour'......" Ye Yu muttered the name that he hated, and his fists gradually clenched. Almost all the clues about this organization were interrupted before, and this time I finally caught a new clue, and we must not let it go! ”

"Haha, it looks like you're eager to try, do you want to investigate the case with me this time?" Lan Jue said with a smile.

"Really...... Can it really be? Ye Yu's eyes lit up for a moment, but they quickly dimmed again. I was ordered by the director of the building before...... said that he could not participate in the affairs of any bureau, especially the case of 'devouring'......"

"Oh, it's okay, I'll have the final say here~" Lan Jue waved his hand and said indifferently. "Besides, I don't know if this incident is really related to 'devouring', and you are just doing chores as my follower this time, and you are not fully involved in the case."

"If only it really could...... That's great......" Ye Yu hesitated, but the eagerness in his heart was already revealed.

"Although I understand that Lou Yue is afraid that you will get involved in trouble so that you can avoid the case, I think it may be a good thing for you to have the opportunity to see for a long time." Lan Yu patted Ye Yu on the shoulder and said. "Remember to stay by my side at all times and don't get me into any trouble."

"Don't worry! Everything is up to you over there! Ye Yu happily agreed, the haze on his face was suddenly swept away, and even the slightly monotonous scenery outside the train became vivid in his eyes.

The student ...... of "Zombieization" There is also "devouring"...... This time, be sure to catch the guy's tail!

……

When Ye Yu and Lan Jue arrived at the small county town where the incident occurred, it was already sunset. After nearly ten hours of tiring travel, Ye Yu's original excitement had slowly worn out, and at this moment, he was only sore and tired as if he was about to fall apart.

"Hah...... Haven't you arrived yet......" Ye Yu carried the heavy luggage, looked up at Lan Jue, who was still alive and well in front of him, and his heart was broken.

"Yo, you can't bear it after just rushing so much? Where's that drive? Lan Yu looked back at Ye Yu with a smile and mocked mercilessly.

"You're embarrassed to say it...... Why don't you try to carry two people's luggage and hurry? Ye Yu was angry.

"Oh, dare to talk back?" Lan Yu raised his eyebrows, and slapped Ye Yu on the head. "You think it's that easy to be my little sidekick? Who swore that everything would be up to me, huh? “

"You...... You, bully people......" Ye Yu muttered quietly, but he didn't dare to make a mistake, after all, he had a short mouth, and he was still counting on Lan Jue to take him to investigate the case.

"Having said that, the small village where the accident occurred is remote, and it is still several kilometers away from this county seat, so I'm afraid I will have to stay here for one night today." Lan Jue looked at a building not far away and said. "The building in front of us is where the police station is located, so we can settle down there first and learn about the situation with the local police officers by the way."

Ye Yu nodded, he no longer had the strength to continue walking, so he decided to follow Lan Yu to the police station to settle down for a while.

It seems that because of the greeting in advance, the local police station has already sent someone to receive it, but after everything was settled smoothly, Ye Yu was called by Lan Jue again, and in a daze, he was dragged by Lan Jue and the local garrison to a private house.

"Who are we going to visit at such a late hour?" Ye Yu asked Lan Yu in a low voice.

"Witnesses to the case." Lan Jue replied. "In this 'zombie case', there was a village policeman who witnessed the process of the carrion attacking people, but because of the excessive fright, it seems that he has been recuperating alone since then. When they heard that we were coming, the police arranged a special meeting, so let's go and see the situation first. ”

Ye Yu understood, so he didn't talk much nonsense, and after going around and around, the group finally came to an ordinary house.

"This is it." One of the leading police officers said to Ye Yu and the others. "The village policeman has been waiting inside for a long time, let's go in and talk, let's just wait at the door."

"I'm sorry for you." Lan Yu nodded, and then took Ye Yu into the mansion.

It was a small old brick house, and the furniture and supplies in the room seemed to be a little old, and in the dim light, the two soon found a figure sitting on a chair in the center of the room, not moving.

"Officer Lee?" Lan Jue greeted loudly, but the other party still didn't react.

"Are you asleep?" Ye Yu was puzzled, and was about to step forward to check, but was stopped by Lan Yu abruptly.

"Don't go over!"

Lan Yu's face changed, and before Ye Yu could react, he took out a flashlight from his pocket and shone it in the direction where the figure was.

In the light of the flashlight, I saw that Officer Li was tilting his head and quietly leaning on the back of his chair. Two black streams of blood flowed from his round eyes, and the pupils inside were cloudy.

"How...... Will it be like this......" Lan Jue looked at the village policeman in front of him, who had lost any breath of life, and his fists gradually clenched.

"He's dead." (To be continued.) )
