Chapter 46: A Strange Wound
The graveyard was on a hillside far from the village, there was not even a moon tonight, it was pitch black everywhere, the wind was blowing, and only Il and Lynn walked along the path in the light of the illumination. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Suddenly, a dark figure on the ground flew in front of them, and Lynn screamed in fright, "There are ghosts!
Il hurriedly protected her behind him, although there were gods in the world, but Il still didn't believe in ghosts, after all, scientific knowledge told him that the existence of ghosts could not be verified, and no one had ever seen a real ghost.
The so-called ghosts are just the fear in people's hearts.
Accompanied by screams, dense red eyes appeared on the grass on both sides of the path, and they looked neatly in this direction, some blinking twice from time to time. Lin pulled out her wand and released her skills indiscriminately, and suddenly a blue and green light flashed, and her red eyes began to flee in all directions, and made a familiar sound.
"Squeak! squeak!"
Ilr placed a large flare on the grass, and the rats behind him, unaware of what was happening, stood up to reveal their gray skins and front paws, and looked around strangely.
"Whew, it scared me to death, I thought it was something, it turned out to be a mouse. Lin Chang quickly patted his heart and let out a sigh, fortunately it was just a group of mice.
They continued to walk, this time Lynn seemed to be much bolder, not trembling behind Il, but her hand was still clutching the wand in her hand, ready to deal with any danger that might arise.
Finally arrived at the cemetery, in fact, there is no eerie place as imagined, and the horror stories are all deceptive.
The cemetery was surrounded by an iron fence, and there were several rows of stone carved crosses in the middle, some of which had flowers in front of them, but they were all withered and left with a black mess, and it seemed that no one had been here for a long time.
Row by row, these cold stone tablets were crudely inscribed with names, and even the tombstones of the poor after death could only be made from the cheapest stone by the inferior craftsmen. In other words, since the couple is so poor and died at the same time, they won't have no tombstones, right?
Luckily, Il finally found a tombstone with the couple's name engraved on it in a corner, but their cross was not made of stone but of wood, which should have been erected by the villagers when they saw them pitiful.
Wood is the cheapest material, hesitating wood is easy to rot, so almost no one will choose wood for such a thing as a tombstone, after all, the moisture of the cemetery is very heavy, and the cemetery also serves as a place for evil to gather in various rumors, so people will still choose stone to erect a monument.
After finding their tombstone, Il began to chant a spell, and the mound on the ground shook under the control of the magic, and then the dirt inside began to turn outward, and the dark wet earth containing water turned out of the ground little by little, and even the soil around the tomb loosened. Although the earth churned only a small sound, it was the only sound in the silence of the night.
When a corpse with broken skin slowly surfaced on the ground, a disgusting corpse stench wafted out, like a toilet that had not been cleaned for a long time, normal people would definitely vomit out disgusting when they smelled it, but fortunately, Il and Lynn had a certain resistance to all kinds of disgusting smells and just frowned.
"Lynn, you cover your nose, this smell is harmful to the body. ”
The activity of bacteria in hot areas is frequent, and bacteria can cause corpses to decompose the most, and the corpse that appeared in front of Yir's eyes at this time looked hideous, and the facial features could barely be distinguished on the ugly face, but there were faint blood marks on the nose and the corners of the mouth, and the hair that had fallen out was also messy on the face, and the exposed skin was covered with rotten green spots.
At one point, Lynn thought that Il's idea was simply terrible, and that the corpse was rotting like this, and I really didn't know what the value of the investigation was. She covered her mouth and nose and observed the corpse from a distance, this should be a female corpse, right?
Oh! This corpse is so rotten that it's hard to tell the gender!
The second corpse also slowly turned out of the ground under Il's magic, and the two corpses were close to each other, and when the villagers were buried, the two corpses were randomly thrown into the dirt pit.
Finally stopping his chanting, Il, quickly changing into his tight-sleeved costume and putting on gloves, began to grope around the corpse to carefully examine its condition. In fact, Il didn't know about autopsies, he had only touched some corpses, so he wanted to see if there was any difference between these two corpses and other corpses.
Lin was already disgusted to the point of disgust when she watched Il touch the corpse, she didn't want to come to this place in the first place, there were rats and cockroaches everywhere, and she had to smell the foul smell of rotting corpses, and the picture was even more unbearable to look at, a clean person had to touch the corpse, and according to the rumors, the consequence of doing so was that she would not be haunted by bad luck for the next year.
But looking at the way he was focused, did he really find something?
Il's hand groped inch by inch on the body of the rotting corpse, and he could roughly tell where it was naturally rotten. After half an hour, he finally saw a strange wound on his neck.
This kind of wound does not appear under the natural decay of the corpse, but this wound is torn when the corpse is swollen, so the flesh and skin here are not coordinated, as if it was a hole poked by a thin wooden stick. He examined another carrion with the same wound on its neck.
"Lin, come and take a look, isn't it strange about the wound here?"
Lynn's face turned pale, she didn't want to get close to the two corpses at all, but she still stubbornly approached to observe where he was pointing. What caught her eye was not a wound, but a corpse spot on the corpse's neck.
She only saw the two wounds that looked like they had been eaten by insects, but they couldn't have been eaten by insects, otherwise there would not have been only the neck on the whole body, and the two corpses were injured here at the same time.
"You mean this wound is the real cause of their death?"
"Is there a possibility, have you heard any rumors about this? such as some strange weapon or creature that would attack a person's neck and leave two of these wounds?"
Lin only had the answer in her heart with a slight ring, but she definitely couldn't believe her guess, because that legendary race, only they can cause this wound and kill humans, as evil creatures in the mouth of the church, although their stories have been circulated in the human world, no one has seen them with their own eyes.
Bloodline!Also known as vampires!
Legendary supernatural beings can survive for a long time by drinking the blood of humans or other creatures.
Originally, vampire legends spread in the western part of the continent, where vampires referred to the corpses of the dead who rose up from their graves to feed on human blood. However, in more rumors, they are described as sustaining blood, possessing immortality, being afraid of light and only active at night, extremely physically strong, and able to use mysterious and unique magic.
In the books published by the Church, vampires are messengers created by demons to spread fear in the world, those powerful magic are taught by demons to use against humans, every vampire that appears on the continent is the object that the church needs to destroy, and the best way to eliminate them is to tie them to the sun and expose them, or burn them at the stake, only then can God purify their evil souls.
Il naturally knows the legend about vampires, but for a person who understands science, such immortal creatures that only rely on blood sucking should not exist, but the wounds on the corpse naturally lead this matter to the vampire.
He remembered the church's attitude towards the corpses of the Crowburs, and that swift disposition was definitely due to the disturbing changes in the two corpses.
