Stumps, severed arms, hearts that had been pulled out of their chests, heads that had been forcibly unscrewed off with brutal techniques.

These photos sent from the email show the expression of the word 'bloody' in the most intuitive form, and the moment people see it, they have an instinctive desire to nauseate and vomit.

INTERVIEWER What kind of 'cruel' murderer can make such a scene?

Just when all the police officers who saw the photos invariably came to mind, Fukuyama Akira's attention was all attracted by some features of these deceased, and his bloodshot eyes stared at the little black animal hair that remained on their bodies after they were disintegrated into dogs.

"Naito, come here, find a way to enlarge these photos."

He gave orders to one of the police officers in his office who was good at electronics.

Looking at the details on the photo after being processed by technology, it became extremely clear, and Fukuyama Akira didn't know if it was because a stone in his heart fell, and he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yes.

This is the thing that killed his colleague brother that day, yes.

If it is possible that the pitch-black beast fur on their bodies is still a coincidence, then their ability to recover can only be temporarily stopped by destroying the 'heart', 'brain' and 'spine', and I am afraid that only those who have fought with them will know it clearly.

Even if you take 10,000 steps back.

These traits are all artificially faked.

This at least proves that the people who sent these emails have a good understanding of the existence of the 'corpse dogs'.

Although the existence of 'corpse dogs' is not a secret to many people in the police department.

But they only know that this is the name of a monster that has appeared in Antgawa City a few months ago.

It wasn't until a few days ago that they actually confronted the corpse dog who was still in the Third Prison that these policemen learned that the urban legends about 'evil beasts killing people' that were gradually circulating in the old city were not completely fictional.

Looking around and seeing that there were some fearful expressions on everyone's faces, Akira Fukuyama knew that he wanted to investigate the 'corpse dog', and the person who sent the email, these guys who were already harboring fear were not enough to fully trust,

I remembered the guy who told me to sign a non-disclosure agreement at the police station before.

At least for now, my investigation has to be done in the shadows. ’

Looking at the address that Rosetta deliberately kept at the end of the email, Akira Fukuyama pressed his thoughts, took a deep breath, and said lightly in the office: "Prepare to go out of the team, go to the old city, and see who is provoking our Antchuan City police." ”

A deep wind blows from the sky, bringing a prelude to heavy rain.

In the middle of the night, the gray and endless buildings gradually swallow up the passing traffic.

Not far from the scene of the crime he made, on the rooftop, Rosetta saw several cars silently appearing in his field of vision from a high place, and finally had some habits in his heart to understand why some murderers wanted to return to the scene after killing.

I have to say.

It's an amazing experience.

Because playing with others and dominating others may be one of the primitive desires hidden in the heart of the beast of human beings, but they are only suppressed by the so-called civilized things.

'Have a natural nature that derives pleasure from the act of depriving others of their lives and dominating their thoughts...... I'm right, friend, you're a cold-blooded creature at the top of the food chain who is far more suited than I am to be a new human. ’

It was as if there was a joking and mocking voice ringing in my ears.

Rosetta listened carefully and realized that it was the voice of Toru Watanabe, whom he had killed with his own hands not long ago.

Obviously, after death, the weight of twenty-one grams will disappear from the world, so why do the ghosts of the dead still haunt themselves?

Flipping through the anthology of Arthur Rimbaud's poems, Rosetta suddenly took a passage from it.

"I got blue-and-white eyes, narrow skulls, and poor incompetence in battle from my grandfather."

"I found that I was wearing exactly the same clothes as them, the same savagery. I don't apply oil to my hair though. ”

"The Gauls were skinners, and in their time they were the most ridiculous and lowly people who burned grass and let go of the wasteland."

"I have also inherited from them idolatry and the vices of blasphemy."

"-Oops! I have also inherited all their vices, such as irritability, arrogance, and especially lying, and laziness. ”

"How nice it would be if I also included a point in my personal history the history of France!"

"But, no, not at all."

"So, for me, it's clear that I'm originally of an inferior race. It's impossible for me to understand what resistance is. My race only knows how to rise and plunder: just as wolves only know how to grab animals that have not yet been bitten to death by them. ”

Closing the anthology of poems, Rosetta strangely derives serenity from this act.

If cruelty and cold-bloodedness were the vices he inherited from his human ancestors, then he was willing to accept it as his own.

"At least I'm not depraved now, and I'm not in the company of other livestock."

He muttered to himself silently, refuting the hallucinatory mockery of Toru Watanabe.

Tick.

A little raindrop fell from the clouds.

It landed on the tarp that Akira Fukuyama held up at the scene of the murder.

Some of the corpses here may be quietly replaced, or anomalies may be discovered.

But the result of all this, as early as the moment he set the mail to be sent on the deceased's mobile phone, had nothing to do with Rosetta.

Thanks to his status as a folklore scholar, he was able to obtain the mailboxes of many institutions and many people, including the police, when he used to contribute to certain state agencies and cultural institutions in Antgawa City.

The people of the Antgawa City Police will be silent about what happened in the old town today.

But it doesn't matter.

As long as the existence of this unknown corpse dog hunter enters the sight of the owner who raised them, for the sake of safety, during this time, the other party will inevitably temporarily shrink the range of predation.

Because.

The unknown is such a scary thing.

Even if the corpse dog feeds on people, it is a carnivorous monster that is higher up in the food chain.

But in the face of the 'unknown' who is enough to kill them, they will also become the same as their food 'humans'.

And Rosetta, who has the power of psionic energy that transcends common sense.

There is no doubt that he is now at the upper reaches of the modern food chain, and the corpse dogs should be fearful.

"Boss, our believers on the police side have news again."

In Antgawa City's famous custom shop "Sushi Lang Travel", Ishiizaki is enjoying the professional service of two tall and graceful 'Uohimes' in crimson dresses, and the voice is heard from outside the door.

"Wait...... Ah~"

He made a soothing sound.

Then he twisted the heads of the two beauties under him like screws, nodded and said to his subordinates outside the door, "Okay, now you can come in." ”

A corpse dog in disguise stepped on the soft red carpet, glanced at the two corpses on the ground, and said, "Watanabe's area in charge of something went wrong, someone killed him, and cleaned up our kind in the area." ”

"How did you find all that waste at the police station?"

"It is said that someone took the deceased's mobile phone and sent them a timed email, which contained the address and photos of the scene."

The corpse dog said in a very cautious tone: "In the photos I have seen at the scene, the methods used by the murderer are very cruel, strangled, heart-digging, and broken backs, which are basically fatal with one blow, and it seems that we have a very good understanding of our weaknesses from the beginning, and they are coming with a specific purpose......

"Then let's just start shrinking our power."

Before his subordinates finished speaking, Ishiizaki said casually: "Anyway, we have already obtained the most important experimental elements from the prison, and the research and development progress of the medicine is also coming to an end, as for these useless failed products, it depends on whether they can survive themselves." ”

"It's just...... Boss, I'm worried about the identity of that murderer. ”

"This crisp, crisp, one-hit-kill style of killing, I've only heard of people who come out of 'that place.'"

"Are you worried that it was the hands of the people of the 'Five Courtyards'?"

Ishiizakito stroked the smooth black hair of the two beauties in his hand, and said in a mocking tone: "Don't worry, those people in the 'Killing Temple' won't be so idle, even if our dear Mr. Tsukiyama is a well-known holder of the treasure ability on the 'collection list' of the strategy room, but it is far from worth their trip from the front line of the Iron Curtain." ”

"According to the efficiency of the actions of those bureaucrats in the countermeasure room, maybe the psychic medium of the 'Anxin Hospital' is on the way?"

After finishing speaking, as if he was amused by himself, the tall man wearing sunglasses and a mouthful of shark teeth smiled terribly: "This highest-level anomaly in Antchuan City has only passed the initial 'stress period' and comprehended that the cause of his death has reached the 'mutation period'. ”

"Police, consortiums, Chinese."

"As long as the existence of our Divine Foot Club is valuable enough, for those old people who do not want to pay the price of destroying us themselves, and who are stingy with their feathers, we will always be just the 'scabies' of this country, and there will always be new troubles that need to be solved in front of us."

"Remember, there are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies."

"Only something as great as death can treat all existence equally."

Here, Ishiizaki's voice paused, his finger drew a special symbol on his chest, and he said reverently: "And that's what I'm determined to fight against in my life." ”

"Go and send a message, let the 'head dogs' in our hunting grounds each restrain the dogs under their grazing, and at the same time reduce their own actions outside, don't send them to death one by one, and waste the new life given to them by the godsend."

"And as for the murderer who has the ability to kill Watanabe......"

Speaking of this, Ishiizaki grinned a hideous smile: "It's up to me to find out for myself." ”
