Chapter 330: A Strange Disease in Ancient Japan
Inoue was stunned when the scalpel pulled the man's abdomen open.
Under the man's belly, there was a deformed fetus, this deformed fetus was covered with a layer of fine hair, and the limbs of the deformed fetus were relatively well developed, but the head was too frightening—no hair, no mouth, no nose, no ears, like a bare ball of flesh, only in the center of the head, there was an eye, and this eye was still blinking, but this one eye had no eyeballs, only a lump of rotten flesh.
It's horrible, and it's disgusting.
The two timid assistants next to him couldn't help but exclaim, turned their faces away, and were too frightened to take a second look.
This is still the most terrifying, weird, and terrifying situation that Inoue has encountered since the autopsy, and he himself is beating wildly in his heart, but he quickly calmed down.
And what is even more strange is that when the man's belly was cut, there was almost no blood, and Inoue himself looked at the man's skin, and was surprised to find that there were very few blood vessels in the man's skin, only a few tenths of the average person.
And, when he pulled his belly open with a sharp scalpel, instead of screaming in pain, the man giggled as if he were tickling him.
This strange reaction suddenly reminded Inoue of one thing - when he was studying in the United States, he once read about a strange disease called "zombie phobie" in medical books, and people who suffer from this disease have very few blood vessels and nerves in the skin, and the skin sensation is also very dull, and even does not feel any pain at all.
In addition, this kind of person is like the walking dead, with only a very simple consciousness, and in terms of intelligence, even ordinary animals are inferior.
People suffering from this "zombie disease" usually have many parasitic fetuses on their bodies, and this disease has been prevalent in Japan for thousands of years.
At that time, in the coastal waters of Japan, a fish with an unusually delicious meat suddenly appeared, and this fish had a strange appearance - its head was a bit like a frog, and the locals called it "frogfish".
At that time, some fishermen felt that the meat was too delicious after eating this fish, so they rushed to use various methods to make this fish to eat. However, the number of such "frog fish" is very small, and the price is naturally very high, and the locals regard it as a rare taste and enjoyment.
But for some reason, since the appearance of this "frog fish", many local women have given birth to babies with strict deformities, and some babies have bare heads, like a ball of meat, and no organs on their faces; Some babies have a face on their heads, and they have become veritable "two-faced people"; There are also babies with heads that look like frogs;
And among these freaks, the most common is this kind of "zombie people", their intelligence is extremely low, and, even if the skin is broken, the blood that comes out is very small, and they don't even feel pain, in addition, these "zombie people" will appear in different parts of the body, there will be terrifying parasitic fetuses.
Some of these strange-shaped freaks survived, and some even survived for decades. According to historians, many yokai images in Japanese culture today evolved from these freaks.
Later scholars speculated that it was the mysterious "frog fish" that led to the emergence of a large number of such deformed children, but it is strange to say that this "frog fish" slowly became extinct for unknown reasons.
But what puzzled Inoue was that if this person on the dissecting bed was really the kind of "zombie man" in the record, how could he suddenly appear in the mountains of Chinese mainland, could there be that kind of "frogfish" here?
Inoue carefully cut off the parasitic fetus, and then put it in a tray next to it, and the parasitic fetus kept struggling and squirming in the tray, and the nearest assistants were so frightened that they quickly hid to the side.
At this time, the person lying on the dissecting table, who had been disemboweled, still giggled from time to time, and this laughter became more and more creepy.
At this moment, another kind of sharper laughter suddenly sounded, and everyone in the room froze, except for the person who was dissected on the bed, and there was anyone laughing, they looked around, but they did not notice anyone else laughing.
Inoue was also taken aback, and he carefully identified the direction from which the laughter came from, and found that it seemed to come from the person on the bed.
Inoue stopped the scalpel and listened, following the sound, he carefully discerned the direction from which the laughter came, and at this time, the two laughter were already mixed together, one after the other, and at first glance it really sounded like a ghost crying wolf, which made people's spines run cold.
Looking around, Inoue was surprised to find that that the sharp laughter seemed to come from the man's head, could it be that he still had a mouth on his head?
Inoue hurriedly asked the two assistants to pull away the man's dirty and messy long hair to see what was in his hair, how could he still laugh?
When the two assistants brushed the man's hair away, everyone in the room was shocked - they found that there was another face in the man's hair!
This face covered by hair, although it looks extremely terrifying and distorted, has all facial features, and that kind of sharp laughter is emitted by this face.
Except for Inoue, who was relatively calm, all the people in the room were almost nervous at the moment, because they had never seen such a terrifying, twisted parasitic fetus. They all have the illusion that the person in the bed is not a person at all, but a monster.
Inoue was also flustered inside, he felt his hands trembling slightly, although he tried his best to control zhì and didn't want to be discovered by his assistants, but the more he controlled zhì, the more he trembled, and the dissection seemed to be unable to go on anymore. As long as the heart is flustered, the hand is very easy to be cut by a sharp scalpel, which is very easy to lead to infection by germs, and once infected, the result is sometimes fatal.
So, Inoue took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then decided to stop the autopsy, he wanted his assistants to throw this person into formalin solution first, and then dissect it after soaking him alive, because the parasitic fetuses on this person's body are really terrible, especially when these parasitic fetuses are still alive.
There is another very important reason why he wants to soak this "strange man" alive with formalin first-so many strange parasitic fetuses on this person's body are not only terrifying, but also may have unpredictable attacks, and if you don't pay attention to it, you are very likely to be bitten or scratched by these parasitic fetus, and once this happens, the consequences are unimaginable. What happened next quickly confirmed Inoue's fears.
When Inoue ordered his assistants to carry it, no one dared to go over.
Seeing that the assistants were so timid, Inoue couldn't help but curse loudly.
At this time, Tanaka next to him gritted his teeth and stood up, because he felt that at such a critical moment, he should be duty-bound as Inoue's fellow countryman and confidant.
Inoue saw that Tanaka took the initiative to stand up, and his anger disappeared a lot. Then he used his hand to designate another assistant and let him carry it with Tanaka.
But something unexpected happened.
The assistant may have been a little hurried because he was afraid, and one hand accidentally touched the "parasitic face" of the person's head, and was bitten by the mouth on the face, and he was bitten on the hand, and he sighed in pain, and quickly withdrew his hand, but it was still too late, and he had been bitten a small wound on his hand, and blood was oozing.
Tanaka hurriedly delayed from the side, and immediately untied the man from the dissection table, carried him to the real room, and threw him into the formalin pool.
This formalin pool is specially designed to soak human corpses, one meter deep, two or three meters square, they tied the man's hands and feet, and then threw him into the pool, the man did not struggle, did not resist, but from his body, let out several different screams, that should be the cry of different parasitic fetuses on his body.
But that same night, the assistant who was bitten developed a high fever, and Inoue tried all kinds of measures, but he was unable to recover. By the wee hours of the morning, the assistant had died in agony.
And when he died, he was already blackened, and from time to time he let out a strange and shrill laugh.
Inoue knows that this is infected with a deadly virus, just like a person who is bitten by a rabies dog will be infected with the rabies virus, and once the virus occurs, people will unconsciously learn to bark and bite, which is determined by the characteristics of the virus.
As soon as the assistant was out of breath, Inoue immediately asked people to pour gasoline on the corpse, and then set it on fire, but when it was just started to be burned, the assistant suddenly shouted a few times and struggled a few times, it turned out that he just passed out, and he was not really completely dead, but it was all over, and this scene was shocking to watch.
What's even more strange is that the next day, when Inoue took his assistant to the formalin pool to check on the corpse, he was surprised to find that the corpse had completely turned into blood, and after they had salvaged the formalin pool for a while, there was not even a small piece of meat left except for a few bones that had been severely corroded.
This made Inoue feel very annoyed again, for some reason, since the failure of the last sheep hunting plan, he vaguely felt that he had always encountered strange things, and every time his "wishful thinking", he would always fail unexpectedly, not to mention, but also always lose troops. As for this qiē, Inoue felt as if someone was deliberately playing tricks on him behind these events.
This made Inoue very uneasy.
What made him even more uneasy was that Inoue gradually realized that his feelings were probably true—behind all this series of strange events, there might really be someone who was manipulating this qiē.
And, since these incidents, for some reason, Inoue, who has never had nightmares, is often awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night.
This surprised Inoue, because when he was studying in the United States, a mentor once asked Inoue if he would have nightmares after dissecting the corpse, and Inoue honestly told the tutor that he had never had a nightmare since the first corpse was dissected, and the mentor said with emotion after listening to Inoue's answer, saying with emotion that people like Inoue account for only five percent of human beings, and this kind of person belongs to the emotionally deprived type, and many cruel and cold-blooded killers belong to this kind of person.
But what puzzled Inoue was how someone who was so cold and almost fearless suddenly became so weak and emotionally rich.
