Chapter 122: Ghouls
Gu Qihan moved Professor Cao's body again, and we saw that the wall he was leaning against before, revealing a line of words written with a signature pen, the handwriting looked sloppy, probably in the case of someone choking his neck, he put his hand behind his back and wrote it in a hurry, so the words were reversed, looking at it backwards, he wrote "k2042", as a student dog who has been dealing with books for more than three years, I blurted out, "He wrote a book number!" Category K books represent history and geography. ”
We hurriedly ran to Professor Cao's study, the books on the shelves were very neatly arranged, but there were no books numbered "K2042", Fan Luoyu looked for a long time on Professor Cao's desk, and said that the lacquer box seal book rubbings brought by Gu Qihan were missing.
I had a vague suspicion in my heart that the death of Professor Cao and his wife was related to the rubbings of the seal script in those lacquer boxes. The people who killed them were the same people who committed the murder of the Gu family?
At this moment, there was a sudden bang outside the study, Gu Qihan rushed out as fast as he could, Fan Luoyu and I followed closely, the window glass of the living room was shattered, and the fragments were scattered all over the ground, the door of the bathroom was ajar, and there was a crunching sound from inside, as well as a low roar similar to that of a beast.
Gu Qihan first protected me behind him, and then kicked open the door of the bathroom, and the heavy smell of blood mixed with the smell of sour rot came to his nose, making people want to vomit.
I saw a corpse leaning against the corner of the wall, a very ugly monster pressed against the corpse, it had fangs, a bloody mouth, large palms and soles, and nails more than ten centimeters long, which looked very sharp, and it was tearing at the flesh of the corpse with its claws, and at the same time it gobbled it up, and from time to time it let out a greedy roar from its throat.
"Ghoul!"
Gu Qihan let out a low sigh, flew up, and kicked heavily towards the ghoul.
The ghoul was caught off guard and was kicked by him, hitting the wall and letting out an angry roar. It turned its head suddenly, jumped in the air, and pounced towards Gu Qihan. Only then did I see its face, it was really ugly, the big eyes of the copper bell, the bridge of the nose was very short, as if there was no bridge of the nose and only nostrils, the long fangs were stained with blood, and when it roared, the blood mixed with saliva dripped down, it opened its bloody mouth and bit Gu Qihan's head, and at the same time, the sharp claws grabbed his chest.
I screamed, my heart rose to my throat, but I saw that Gu Qihan was not in a hurry, and with a wave of his right hand, he grabbed the ghoul's throat with his bare hands, and the ghoul was choked by him, roaring angrily and painfully, struggling on all fours, and his sharp claws cut deep grooves on the walls and door panels.
The ghoul's roar, like the roar of a fierce beast, shocked people's hearts, suddenly, its claws waved violently, towards Gu Qihan's face, I exclaimed "Be careful", Gu Qihan raised his left arm, grabbed the ghoul's claws, clicked a few times, and actually pinched its claws, and then threw his right arm hard, throwing the ghoul to the wall opposite the living room, the ghoul flew straight out like a lead ball, slammed into the wall, it quickly rolled over and climbed up, using all fours, Rolling and crawling towards the shattered window glass, he quickly jumped out.
I looked at Gu Qihan worriedly, and seeing that he was not injured, I said a little regretfully, "It's a pity that it escaped." ”
Gu Qihan smiled confidently, "If you don't let it escape, how do we know who sent it?" ”
I was stunned, "You deliberately let it run away?" ”
He nodded, "I just injected my yin qi into it, that is, I left my breath, as long as it doesn't run out of Jiangcheng, I can find it." ”
I was stunned for a moment, and I couldn't help but admire his foresight. He added, "Ghouls have a low IQ, originally lived in cemeteries, lived on the flesh and blood of dead people, and rarely ran to wander in human habitation, but this ghoul ran to Cao's house, I suspect that it is not an ordinary ghoul, it may have been kept in captivity." ”
I said, "Could it be that the people who killed Professor Cao and them raised them?" ”
Before Gu Qihan could speak, Fan Luoyu said, "Definitely not." Professor Cao: They have been dead for at least an hour, you see those ghouls, they are almost gnawing their skins, and the ghouls only appeared after we came to Cao's house, and the murderer will not make such a hassle and get two sets of things to destroy the corpse. ”
He made a point, and I nodded my head and looked at the corpse in the bathroom, a young man whose face had been gnawed by ghouls, his chest and abdomen were gnawed to pieces, and a pile of intestines flowed out, and an eye rolled to the bathroom door, facing us, staring straight at it, as if to accuse him of the grief of his tragic death.
I couldn't help but shudder, and covered my mouth tightly with my hands, this young man must be the son of Professor Cao and his wife, I just saw a photo of their family of three on the bookshelf.
"If I hadn't asked Professor Cao for help, their family of three would not have died tragically." Gu Qihan's voice sounded very low, and I saw grief and hatred in his eyes.
I grabbed his arm in distress and comforted him, "We don't want this to happen, people can't be resurrected after death, the most important thing now is to quickly save the bodies of Professor Cao's family of three, catch the murderer, and comfort their family of three in the heavens." ”
Soon, the police car came, we used the invisibility charm to hide the tracks, watched them enter the room, when they saw the death of Professor Cao's family, they were all shocked, discussing what the insects on Professor Cao and his wife were, how to get rid of them, Gu Qihan, who was standing beside me, frowned, suddenly flashed, walked to the captain's side, and melted his body into the captain's body, I knew that he wanted to get on the captain's body.
Sure enough, after a second, the captain's eyes changed, and he glanced at his chattering subordinates with an expressionless face, and said in a deep voice, "The insects that gnaw at their corpses are called corpse eaters, and they will eat their corpses within six hours, and they can only be burned to death by fire." ”
One policewoman was surprised and said, "Are we going to send them to be cremated now?" ”
The captain who was possessed by Gu Qihan said, "You can temporarily send them to the morgue to freeze them, although the low temperature can't kill the corpse-eating insects, but you can let them hibernate, and then clean them up from the corpse." ”
"Okay, Captain."
The police officers began to get busy, Gu Qihan took the opportunity to come out of the captain, the captain was strong and strong, and he was only dizzy after being possessed, and when he came to his senses, he saw that his subordinates were busy coming and going, and asked them what they were doing, just now the policewoman replied, didn't you let us send the body to the morgue for freezing? The captain looked surprised and patted his head, as if to think about what had happened before, why he didn't have an impression of himself.
After leaving the Cao family, Gu Qihan and Fan Luoyu's expressions were very solemn, and it was estimated that they were not very comfortable, after all, the death of Professor Cao's family of three had an indirect relationship with them.
Gu Qihan analyzed that the previous ghoul and the person who killed the Cao family were not in the same group, let's put it aside for the time being, anyway, it was infused with his yin qi, and we can find it at any time. The most important thing now is to follow the clue that Professor Cao left us, the book number "K2042".
Since Professor Cao teaches at the University of Science and Technology, then, the book number he left behind may be in their school library, we drove to the University of Science and Technology, and found the library, but none of us are students of this school, we don't have a library card, and we can't enter the library openly, Gu Qihan said that he went in alone to find the book, and asked me and Fan Luoyu to wait for him in the rest area on the first floor of the library.
Only a few minutes later, Gu Qihan came back, holding a copy of "Historical Records" in his hand, and he said that according to the number of K2042, he found the book.
We are all familiar with the "Historical Records", which is a chronicle written by Sima Qian, which records the history of more than 3,000 years from the era of the Yellow Emperor to the ancient legend of the Yellow Emperor and the Yuan Hunt period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
The message that Professor Cao wants to tell us is hidden in this book with a total of more than 520,000 words.
The cause of the incident is because of the Qin Dynasty lacquer box and the Qin Dynasty copper seal, which shows that the focus is on the Qin Dynasty, so we focus on the articles about the Qin Dynasty in the "Historical Records".
