Chapter 4: The Snake Man
"Iger, the serpent god referred to by the tribes that lived on the Central Plainsβthe god who might later evolve into the widely worshipped Quetzalcoatl or Kukulkan in the southern regionsβis a strange devil in half-human form, extremely capricious and capricious...... The horrific tales that circulated in the shadows hinted at the revenge that would befall mortals when they despised him or deliberately harmed his stooping offspring; His favorite revenge is to properly torture his victim before turning his enemy into a speckled snake. β
βH.P. Lovecraft & Ziria Bishop, The Curse of Iggy
Everyone followed Dr. Mo Li to her office, which was very cold, not like a lady's office.
But everyone didn't pay much attention to it, Chen Zifeng wanted to ease the atmosphere, and asked, "I haven't seen Dr. Mo in the medical department before, is Dr. Mo just here?" β
Mo Li didn't look back to look for what he needed, and replied sarcastically: "Is Captain Chen a professional habit?" Do you want to check when you see an individual? β
Chen Zifeng didn't expect to relieve the embarrassment, but now it's even more embarrassing, Chen Zifeng can only say haha in the face of Mo Li's ridicule: "Doctor Mo, don't be surprised, just chat and ask casually." β
Dr. Mo Li took a brown foundation box, which made everyone wonder.
Chen Zifeng asked again, "Doctor Mo, can you start?" β
Mo Li nodded, and then let Jiang Xinmeng sit in the medical cabin, and then she took out the foundation box they were puzzled about and opened it, and it was a purple powder inside.
She pinched a little, then brought it to her lips and blew at Jiang Xinmeng, who was sitting in the medical warehouse, the purple powder was scattered all over Jiang Xinmeng's body, but the moment she inhaled, there was an irresistible sleepiness in her heart.
Then she fell directly into the medical chamber, and then Dr. Mo Li closed the medical chamber, and she tapped on the medical chamber a few more times, and the medical chamber began to light up.
Chen Zifeng and the others didn't understand hypnosis, so they could only watch with big eyes and stunned.
Lee Sean was a black man, nearly two meters tall, his whole body was full of muscles, and his voice was buzzing: "This is the test." β
Mo Li glanced at him angrily and said, "This is just the beginning." β
Then he said to Chen Zifeng: "Take care of your teammates, I will start hypnosis in a while, so that they can all stop." β
Chen Zifeng laughed embarrassedly, and then said a few words to Li Shawn in a fake way.
Mo Li also ignored them anymore and began to officially hypnotize, only to see her eyes closed lightly, and then suddenly opened, and her two eyes turned into vertical pupils, exuding a seductive shimmer.
Let Chen Zifeng and the others also lose their minds for a moment, and it was only then that they looked squarely at this woman like a fox demon.
Mo Li didn't pay attention to their reactions since he entered the state, and concentrated on hypnotizing Jiang Xinmeng.
Mo Li lightly opened his lips and said: "You are very relaxed and comfortable now, don't be afraid, no one will hurt you." β
I saw that with her words, Jiang Xinmeng, who was originally asleep because of the drug, frowned tightly, as if listening to Mo Li's words, his body gradually relaxed, and his sleeping appearance became comfortable.
At this time, Mo Li said again: "Now you are back to your nightmare yesterday. β
As soon as the words fell, Jiang Xinmeng, who was originally comfortable, suddenly tensed up, nervous and scared, and didn't dare to move easily.
At this time, Mo Li said again: "Tell me what you saw?" β
Jiang Xinmeng made them wait for a while before whispering: "There are snakes, my body is full of snakes, they keep swimming on me, they are going to find me, I can't talk anymore." β
As soon as the words fell, I heard a sudden sound from Jiang Xinmeng, and began to dance wildly in the medical warehouse, as if he was tearing something.
Then suddenly it was as if something was wrapped around her neck, and her face turned red, as if she was about to suffocate.
Chen Zifeng immediately stopped Mo Li's hypnosis, and Mo Li also took the opportunity to pull Jiang Xinmeng back from hypnosis.
Zhang Xiaoer stepped forward and hurriedly opened the medical warehouse, hugged the frightened Jiang Xinmeng in her arms, and comforted her.
Chen Zifeng and Mo Li stepped aside and asked with a calm face, "Doctor Mo, what's going on?" β
Mo Li replied expressionlessly: "It's the first time I've encountered this situation, it stands to reason that when people are dreaming, the damage can't be brought to reality, just like you have a nightmare and fall off a cliff, the moment you feel like you're touching the ground, you'll be awakened, which is a kind of protection given to people by the human brain."
But I have never encountered this situation of Miss Jiang, when she encountered danger in her dream, she did not wake up immediately, but fell into a deeper dream, which surprised me. β
Chen Zifeng pondered for a while and said, "Is this possible that this is a manifestation of predicting the future?" β
Mo Li smiled mockingly and said, "Captain Chen, your team member was almost injured just now, and now you are still in shock, but you are in a hurry to determine her value, it is really ruthless!" β
Chen Zifeng didn't shy away either, and said coldly: "It's not your turn to do what we do, and you don't have that qualification." I just want to know now if she has the ability to see the future? β
Mo Li didn't anger him, and replied: "I don't know, just wait and see." β
Then on his own work, he picked up a black glass suitcase and brought it to Jiang Xinmeng.
At this time, Jiang Xinmeng had already quieted down under everyone's persuasion and the meditation spell of Master Yideng.
Mo left his mouth and asked, "What did you dream about at the end before, which hurt you. β
Jiang Xinmeng said: "I dreamed the same nightmare as yesterday before, the difference was that when the snake on my face was about to bite me, I dodged it, and then the snakes on my body disappeared, and then suddenly a huge snake in shape grabbed my neck, and then sprayed venom into my mouth, and then I felt that the whole person was going to become a snake." β
When Chen Zifeng heard this, he felt as if he was only one step away from the truth, but it was this last step, he couldn't take a step in, and he couldn't see the truth.
He scratched his messy hair and didn't think about it anymore, and asked several girls in the team to take Jiang Xinmeng back to her residence to recuperate, and to observe and protect her.
At this time, Mo Li suddenly raised the black glass box in his hand, and pressed a virtual button, and then the black box became transparent in an instant, and it contained a snake that was the same as Jiang Xinmeng's dream, the moment the snake regained its sight, it seemed to see and recognize Jiang Xinmeng, stood up and opened its mouth directly in the direction of Jiang Xinmeng, spraying venom, and the venom shot on the transparent glass, leaving two traces of corrosion.
This scene frightened Jiang Xinmeng, who had just escaped from the dream, she screamed, and in a panic, the ability exploded, directly acting on the poisonous snake in the glass box with one hundred and twenty times the gravity, directly making the poisonous snake become a puddle of flesh, fortunately it was in the glass box, otherwise everyone would have to be splashed with snake's flesh and blood at such a close distance.
Chen Zifeng was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort Jiang Xinmeng, comforted her, and after her mood stabilized, she turned around and walked in front of Mo Li and asked her, "What do you want to do?" If something happens to her, can you take responsibility? β
Mo Li glanced at him and said, "Oops! Isn't it that you Captain Chen want to know if she has the ability to predict the future, aren't I testing, the poisonous snake that I just lived in my hand was brought to me by a friend from other provinces for research, it is the batch of snakes that are now making snake plagues, and now it seems that her dream is indeed related to snake plagues. β
Chen Zifeng asked suspiciously, "What about the ability to predict the future?" β
Mo Li replied: "How do I know, let's observe first, maybe she really has the ability to predict the future, and she can be regarded as following your Captain Chen's wishes."
By the way, I won't chat with Captain Chen if I still have something to do. β
Chen Zifeng was so angry that he pointed at her and was speechless.
Mo Li ignored it and walked out of the office, and the other team members all glared at her, and even the master of a lamp said, "This female benefactor is a little excessive." β
Chen Zifeng shook his head, didn't think much about it, and asked the female team members to take Jiang Xinmeng back as instructed before, and he took the rest of the team members to the data room of the headquarters to find out the information about the humanoid snake that Jiang Xinmeng dreamed of.
Because these materials are top secret, they cannot be entered into the intelligent file, of course, there must be backups, but only the director has the authority to know.
After all, these materials are top secrets of top secrets, and some of them are very threatening, such as the "Book of Necrons", the Lalleye text, the Seven Chapters of the Xuanjun Secret Sutra, the Book of Ebon, etc., the translations of the records of alien civilizations such as the old rulers and outer gods left by these sages, of course, the summoning spells in them have been deleted and not left, so as not to fall into the hands of the terrorist members and become a threat again.
Others are novels written by artists of the old and medieval eras, which have become a documentary channel for modern mankind to understand extraterrestrial civilizations.
An entire library of several hundred square meters is filled with these materials, and each piece is placed in the window, and only after authorization can it be allowed to read.
These are translations of the originals that have been collected hundreds of years since the establishment of the Federation, and those collected originals are now in a very safe place, because they are too threatening to be revealed, but they cannot be destroyed, because if one day humanity reaches the point of extinction, they can choose to die with the enemy.
At that point, these originals that recorded summoning spells would have a useful purpose, such as the only doppelganger of Azatoth who summoned to destroy the Shagai Zerg's home planet, Sadar Hegra.
It is absolutely capable of bringing humanity to the end of the enemy, of course, this is the last option, humanity is still in the stage of rapid development, and humanity will one day stand at the same height as the gods, standing in the universe.
However, these collections are only the only remaining part of the world, even if the Federation has collected them for hundreds of years, there are still some fragments left in the hands of the people and cult organizations, which is also the capital where the cult can always make trouble.
The team members were not surprised to see so much information, they have been here I don't know how many times, they have long been familiar with it, and they booked the reading time at the front desk, and began to search.
The reason why translations that don't have summoning spells are treated with such caution is that even these translations that are translated into the federal language affect sanity (sa
value), reading for too long, the person may also sa
The value drops to zero, which leads to complete madness.
However, for their criminal investigation team, the impact of the translation is still relatively small, after all, they are often mentally exercised, sa
It's a lot tougher than the average person, otherwise it wouldn't be able to fight the alien race.
As a result, they stayed here for an afternoon, and in the evening, even they received a reminder from the smart chip, sa
The value dropped to ninety.
At this time, Chen Zifeng beckoned everyone to do this today and talk about it tomorrow.
But at this moment, suddenly Shen Qiyu shouted happily: "I found it, I found it, everyone come and see." β
Everyone hurried over, and when they looked, they saw a translation of a fragment in Shen Qiyu's hand, only a short page of introduction.
It happened to be about a half-human, half-snake snake race, which was extremely consistent with the huge humanoid snake described by Jiang Xinmeng before.
And the god they worship is an old ruler, the god of serpents known as the father of all serpents, Igg.
The account says that Iggy created the snake people and snakes, and that he was a god who loved his children very much, and if anyone harmed his children, he would curse that person into a snake.
Seeing that Chen Zifeng suddenly thought of something at this time, he exclaimed that it was not good, and immediately contacted Zhang Xiao'er, who took care of Jiang Xinmeng, and asked them to check Jiang Xinmeng's situation immediately, and they hurried to Jiang Xinmeng's residence.
At the same time, Jiang Xinmeng fell into a nightmare in her big bed, and the female team member who took care of her received a call from the captain in the living room.
It was at this time when she answered the phone that Jiang Xinmeng suddenly woke up from the bed, but saw that her whole body was wrapped around a group of snakes as if she was in a nightmare, and then sure enough, a snake crawled on her face, stood up and wanted to bite her, but she easily dodged.
Then she jumped to the ground and shook off the snakes wrapped around her body, and just as she was about to call someone, suddenly a big cold human-like hand grabbed her throat and pinched her directly.
For a moment, she only felt that she had no strength at all, and her abilities were not under her control, she held back her flushed face, gasping for breath, and struggling to kick her legs weakly.
Then she was horrified to see that the huge humanoid snake she had seen in her dream appeared in front of her eyes, looking at her fiercely, and then opened his big mouth, wanting to spray venom into her mouth like Jiang Xin's nightmare.
As a result, at this moment, the smart door of her bedroom was kicked open, Shen Qiyun took the lead and raised her fists and rushed towards the snake man, and Zhang Xiaoer behind her had already finished writing the word 'force', and hit Shen Qiyun to increase her strength.
And Lin Feiyan also raised her double knives to kill the snake man, and Zhu Xiaoshuang behind her, with a cold ice hand, attacked the snake man before they all, and this blow hit the snake man's head.
almost froze the snake man's head, the reason why it has this power is because the first snake man himself is a cold-blooded animal like a snake, and the cold temperature will make them fall into hibernation, and secondly, the strength of this snake man is not very good, and his physical body is not as good as the last Xiugus lord, the reason why he can capture Jiang Xinmeng is all by sneak attack, otherwise dozens of him would not be Jiang Xinmeng's opponent.
So the battle ended quickly, and the four female team members rescued Jiang Xinmeng in just a few breaths and captured the snake man.
They also wanted to bring it back for interrogation, but they didn't expect that this snake man had directly transformed into an ordinary snake and died.
This made them a little incomprehensible for a while, they had been in contact with so many alien races, and it was the first time they had seen this situation, but they couldn't make a decision privately, so they could only call the captain back and wait for the captain to deal with the matter.
