Chapter 8 Strange Nightmares Conceived in the Womb
After all, it was so close that everyone else could hear what we were saying, and they turned in unison.
Thinking of Sun Huaxing's illness, I nervously took a few steps back and stayed away from them, "Don't come here." ”
Jiang Xun and Ziwei both paused to keep up, and looked at me quietly, with the same worry between their eyebrows.
I remembered all the abnormalities in my body before, and I was so frightened that I almost broke out in a cold sweat.
There weren't many people staying in the hostel, the room was very clean, I don't remember ever being bitten by mosquitoes, as if the natural constitution was not so attractive to these things, and I never took it seriously. I rarely got sick when I was a child, but I started a fever at a time when there was a possibility of a contagious virus.
Sun Huaxing fell ill after Grandma Wang's death, or rather had a seizure, and I looked at the refrigerated corpse and wondered in my heart if there would be any connection between the two.
Just thinking about it, the person who opened the freezer screamed in fright, and when he looked up, Grandma's body was twisted into a sideways position, her frozen hands poked forward, her ten fingers were peeled off, and her legs and feet also showed the appearance of struggling.
"Isn't she dead?" Tang Jiao gasped.
Guo Zheng pushed away the person in front of him almost out of control, and ran over to check the traces on the edge of the freezer, and the blood marks that were grabbed by his fingers were clearly engraved in front of him, and the facts were determined to be difficult to change.
"When the person sent it, it was obviously dead, and his heart was beating ...... Breathe...... Cerebrum...... There was no reaction......"
"We ...... Killed a living person......" The person who was pushed away by Guo Zheng couldn't accept this phenomenon at all, and sat on the ground with his butt in a panic.
Guo Zheng still couldn't believe it, extreme fear turned into strong suspicion, turned around and yelled at us: "What did you do to her!" ”
No one answered, things were beyond expectations, and none of us expected it.
Guo Zheng shouted out that sentence, and after venting his panic, he was deflated and didn't know what to do.
Among the people present, the only one who could speak effectively was Jiang Xun.
I looked at him, and he made contact with my gaze and nodded slightly, his eyes faintly displeased.
I took a breath and said to them, "I may be infected, I suspect that Grandma has a source of infection, you all go out, disinfect and change your clothes, and I will check this body myself." ”
I don't think the administrator can stand up, so let Ziwei take people out.
Guo Zheng didn't need to say much, he didn't believe it on the surface, but his powerlessness was deeper than anyone else's. When there is no other way, he will not fail to know how to retreat and compromise.
Guo Zhengshen glanced at the corpse, his deeply wrinkled brows were helplessly released, and he put the camera in the police station on the ground and left it for me.
I thanked him with my bow, and he didn't look back, and went out the door after the others.
After everyone left, I put on gloves and masks, reached out and touched Grandma Wang's arm, the whole body was frozen and formed, judging from the lying posture, it didn't look like a normal old man could make movements, my waist was almost twisted, and my clothes were wrapped together, squeezed into the flesh.
Could it be that Grandma Wang, like the previous corpse, was resurrected after the dead, and then experienced a second death in the freezer?
I picked up my camera and took pictures in a few places that were particularly suspicious, and after the camera was pointed at her head and the next picture was taken, I clasped my hands and thought of the cockroach.
Could Grandma Wang's head be the same as the two corpses we have seen, with the presence of cockroaches?
I put the camera aside, took out the dagger at my waist, wiped it on my sleeve, put my hand on Grandma Wang's forehead, silently recited the mantra, and inserted the knife into her head.
The blade stabbed in without any strong obstacles, and I adjusted the direction of the blade slightly, and it was very empty, it felt like it was just a bag of air, or rather, there was a touch that resembled stirring a puddle of paste.
After a square hole was cut in the back of my head, I finally saw what was inside.
There are no living cockroaches, and Grandma Wang's brain does not have any organs, nerves or blood vessels, and there are just piles of "brains" made of spider silk-like imitations, which are full of corpse water and mixed with a little bit of debris like a piece of meat.
"When a cockroach dies, it dissolves on its own, and this is its nest."
Jiang Xun's voice came from behind me, I was startled by him, turned around to see that he was the only one, and asked, "Why did you come back?" ”
"I know them, you can't do it alone." After Jiang Xun finished speaking, he put on gloves and reached into Grandma Wang's brain, his fingers probed hard, touched something, took out his hand and put it in a transparent bag and sealed it.
It's a long worm skin.
"This is the insect king of this nest, it is not big, and it is the only one in the family that will not completely dissolve after death. Looking at the skin and the hole, these guys have been living in her head for at least fifty years. ”
"Fifty years?"
How can it be!
I said, "Aren't these bugs poisonous, how can they live in a person's brain and not die?" ”
"As long as they don't excrete venom, it can theoretically be done, but it's difficult, because their skin is also slightly toxic, but it's not incurable, and the burrows used by cockroaches to build their nests are the antidote to the mucus on their bodies."
"I don't know exactly how they did it, but if these insects are willing to give up their original way of life and live in symbiosis with the living, no one has said that they can't do it," Jiang said. ”
"Why not parasitism?"
"They are basically harmless to humans." Jiang Xun said: "To be rigorous, it should be said that it is a symbiosis of partial benefit. When a person is alive, they have basically no effect on her, and they will help to make people live a little longer, in line with their lives. ”
Jiang Xun took a picture of the corpse inside, and after packing it up, I told Guo Zheng that it was best to cremate the corpse immediately. He smoked, half-rattling, and nodded.
After washing and disinfecting my hands, Jiang Xun touched my forehead again, and I was stunned for a moment. I don't know why, but when I touched it myself, it didn't seem to be as hot as when I was in the morgue just now.
"Go get it checked." Jiang Xun handed me a new mask, "Don't go to see Sun Huaxing again, stay away from the ward." ”
I was so preoccupied that I didn't even listen to what he had to say, so I agreed haphazardly.
Ziwei waited for me outside, went with me to have a check-up, and my temperature dropped again, and I didn't find anything abnormal.
Someone in the police station called Guo Zheng and said that he had found strange clues about the photo and asked him to go back and take a look.
Jiang Xun asked me to stay in the hospital and wait for the results of the blood test, and he and Tang Jiao went back with Guo Zheng first, and Ziwei stayed with me.
I don't have a problem, not long after they left, Ziwei took my test results, and there was no malaria parasite or other viruses in the blood.
Before I could breathe a sigh of relief, I suddenly felt a burst of abdominal pain, the whole lower abdomen seemed to be falling with something pulling my intestines, and a large cold sweat on my forehead suddenly appeared, holding my stomach and bending down, so painful that my teeth were chattering uncontrollably.
I didn't hear a word before I said anything, the person was carried to a bed by the nurse, and he couldn't even lie down, and a large number of phantoms appeared in front of him, and the lights above his head became two, three, and countless of them, all of which were black and white layered pictures.
There seemed to be something between my legs, and a chill spread down my thighs to my body, and I bit my wrist and held up my body to see a lot of blood, red blood.
My temples were throbbing numbly, my whole head was about to explode, and I just felt like I was being held down, as if I had been thrown into a rambling dream. The sound of drums sounded in my ears, louder than the other, stronger than the other, and more urgent than the other. I covered my ears, my eardrum ached, and my ears rang violently as if I was crying for this resounding earth, and every inch of my muscles was crying out for pain, like burning with fire and cutting with a knife. I couldn't help but cry out, and I opened my eyes suddenly, and everything disappeared in an instant.
I sat on a hospital bed in a daze, my face moistened, full of tears from the nightmarish experience.
Ziwei stood beside me, his face full of nervousness, holding my hand tightly, beside him, Jiang Xun was also there.
I looked down at my body, there was no blood, no change of clothes, only the marks of my own bite on my wrist.
Are those, all hallucinations?
"What time is it?" Even I was startled when I spoke, and my voice was horribly hoarse.
"Four o'clock in the morning." Ziwei frowned slightly, his eyes were concerned, "You have been in a coma for a long time." ”
"What did the doctor say?"
Ziwei shook his head, indicating that there was no problem.
I leaned back on the pillow at the head of the bed, and I couldn't tell what was wrong with me, why was it all of a sudden.
After a long time, he relieved himself and asked Jiang Xun: "What did you find in that corpse?" ”
Jiang Xun's face was surprisingly gloomy, and when he saw me sit up, he took out a photo from his pocket and threw it on me, and said angrily, "Look for yourself." ”
I was a little weightless and couldn't find my balance, so I barely sat on the edge of the bed before I was helped by Ziwei, and the moment my feet touched the ground, my heart suddenly felt a lot more steady.
I didn't care about Jiang Xun's attitude, and picked up that photo.
Above is an old family photo, two old people, standing next to their children, nothing unusual.
When I was about to ask, I looked closely, and the face of the old man standing behind the child became more and more familiar in my mind, and finally I was seated...... It's actually the face of the corpse I put together not long ago!
"Who gave this to you?" I asked hurriedly.
Jiang Xun had a cold face, I stood up and asked again, but he still didn't answer.
I couldn't figure out what I had offended him, I couldn't ask him from him, and I was about to go back and ask Guo Zheng, but before I reached the door of the ward, Jiang Xun tightened his jaw, grabbed my arm violently, and asked, "Is it important?" ”
I didn't understand, and he asked me with a gloomy face, "Who is that corpse, is that important to you?" When have you ever really cared about yourself? ”
"Jiang Xun, let her go!" Ziwei punched him in the face, Jiang Xun didn't even dodge, his hand holding me tightened, but he still relaxed.
He looked at me, his eyes slightly reddened, with a bit of murder and hatred, but more than that, it was pity.
I was stunned and speechless, Jiang Xun looked away, turned his head and tried his best to restrain the turmoil in his heart, spit out a word of apology flatly, and turned around and left the ward.
I didn't understand at first, and I became more suspicious of what kind of seal Master had set for me back then, why I could only look at his color, why we both didn't have palm prints, and why he was pestering me.
Is the person I am destined to protect in my life really him?
My mind was in a mess, then the doctor knocked on the door, came in and looked at Ziwei, I asked him to go out first, the doctor nodded at me, handed me a piece of film, and said, "Miss Shen, we took a B-ultrasound for you when you were unconscious, and found a shadow in your abdomen." ”
I was puzzled and speculated, "Tumor? ”
The doctor paused for a moment and shook his head, "The shape is very strange, we haven't seen it before, but the preliminary judgment is that it should be a fetus, but the vital signs are weak, it may be a malformed baby, or a stillborn baby." ””
