Chapter 179: The Marginal
One more!
Since the disintegration of the boys at school, there has been an inexplicable addition of one person everywhere.
From small families to large groups.
Because of its low sense of existence, it is called a 'marginal person'.
Those on the fringes are inexplicably blended in, and as soon as there is violent contact, they will immediately fall apart.
And our funeral home also happened to receive the body of a marginal person.
Deliberately because he was afraid of taking responsibility and it was difficult to deal with it without authorization, someone took advantage of the night to put the body in a sack and put it at the door of the funeral home and left.
"An An, I'll leave this to you!"
Director He sent the body to the morgue, and then said to me with a solemn expression.
Clearly, he wanted to know what was going on.
"Hmm!"
After putting on the sterile gown, I carefully removed the shroud.
Just one glance, and I chuckled in my heart.
The corpse was a woman, with a shallow dividing line between the head, limbs, and torso.
It is not like a wound that is connected by sutures, but like a red streak hidden under the skin.
"Curator, have you vomited?"
"That's it!" Curator He wiped his mouth and hurriedly came over, "What did you find?" ”
"It's kind of similar to the head swap!" I stretched out my gloved finger and pointed at the dividing line on the deceased's body, "Look at the difference between these places. ”
"Like...... The colors are different! The level of delicacy of the skin is also different! ”
"Hmm!" I snorted, "The head changer is a man and two bodies, and this corpse seems to be pieced together by six different parts!" ”
"Six?" Pavilion Master He was shocked.
"Look! The deceased's two palms were of various sizes, and her left foot was flat, and her right foot was arched. ”
"Then she can't join the army with her left foot!"
Director He's words immediately attracted me to roll my eyes.
When has it been, and is it still here?
"Just kidding!" Director He scratched his head in embarrassment, "Relieve the disgusting and terrifying atmosphere!" ”
If you remember correctly, the first one on the edge to fall apart on the playground was broken into six pieces.
They are not ghosts, they have flesh and blood, and they have warmth, but they just appear too weird.
"An An, is their soul not here? Doesn't it mean that the soul will follow the corpse? ”
"Only intact corpses! That's six pieces! ”
Instantly, my mind was messy.
Six different parts of the person, spelled together into one person.
No matter what kind of magic it is, it must be made of raw materials.
And raw materials can only be taken from people.
To sum up, someone must have lost some parts.
Broken hands and feet are a big deal, and it is not okay not to go to the hospital, maybe the hospital can find clues.
But if the other party loses his head and body, the murder will definitely involve the police.
"Director He, is there anyone in your police station?"
"What about you?"
"I used to have it, but it was just two ghosts, and they both went to reincarnation."
"I do!" Curator He narrowed his eyes.
"What position?"
"Aunt Cooking in the cafeteria!"
Me, "......"
"Don't look down on this position! The big and small gossip of the police station came out of her mouth! ”
"Forget it!"
Unreliable!
I'd better find it myself!
If you don't know the living, can you still meet the dead?
Our golden finger is the hell, and if you don't use it, it's a tyrannical thing!
……
went to the hospital and found Lan Qingqing to ask her to help.
After that, I went straight to the largest police station in Haicheng.
Wander around the neighborhood, swinging during the day and swinging at night.
In the dead of night, it starts to get lively.
Many of the dead were wandering around, some looking aimless, others hurrying but not seeing what they wanted to do.
Only a man with a youthful white look was crouching by the wall and observing the spirits of the dead.
"What are you looking at?"
I walked over quietly and spoke softly.
"Look at these fools!" The man said, "It's all dead, and they can't get into this police station!" ”
"Why?" I squatted down.
"How can ordinary ghosts withstand the righteousness of the police department? What's more, most of them are criminals, and after being shot, they don't blink to death and want revenge, but they can't get in and can only wander all the time, and after a long time, they are eroded by righteousness, and gradually forget what happened before they were alive! ”
The man said this, pointing to one of them.
"That, I did it myself! The first shot missed, and another shot was added. That one...... The one who covered his waist died on the spot when he was fighting with us! And that ......."
"You have so many enemies!"
"Not really! I ......"
When the man said this, he suddenly turned his face.
"Do you have a shadow? You're not a ghost? ”
"No!" I grinned, "How can I be such a beautiful ghost?" ”
"You're the first person to see me after I die!" The man stood up and held out his hand to me. "Hello, I'm 2225! If it's troublesome, call me Xiaowu! ”
“2225?” I stood up in surprise.
"Oh, the only one who does my line of work is number, no name! Even if it is dead, there is no photo on the tombstone! ”
Xiao Wu's words made me chuckle in my heart.
You don't have to think about what he did when he was alive.
"Why don't you sleep at night, a little girl?"
"I'm here for you!"
"Me?" Xiao Wu pointed to his nose, "You know me?" ”
"Well, I don't just know you but I know your name!"
My words made Xiao Wu flash panic in an instant.
"Your name is ...... Hero! ”
"You ......" Xiao Wu glanced at me, "Don't be a sycophant, there is something to say!" ”
"I'm looking for you because of the marginal!"
I approached Xiao Wu and whispered.
With that, I spread my hands.
"That's the way it is!"
"Is it so outrageous?" Xiao Wu frowned, "According to your speculation, at least two people will die when a marginal person appears!" You can't live without a head and body! ”
"If you break your hand and leg and don't deal with it in time, you won't be able to live!"
"How many people would have to die!" Xiao Wu was shocked, "Only six dead people can make up a marginal person!" ”
"No!" I thought about it and shook my head slightly. "What if a person only takes one part?"
Xiao Wu's eyes widened violently.
"I'm not good at math! But...... It's weird! Don't worry, I'll go in and check the police records and files right now to see if there are any missing persons and similar injuries! ”
"Little Wu, thank you!"
"No, serve the people!"
Xiao Wu turned around and disappeared at the gate in an instant.
And when I was about to go back to the funeral home, I received a call from Lan Qingqing.
"Hey, An'an!"
"Qingqing, is there a clue!"
"Nope!" Lan Qingqing said with a voice in her voice, "I have mobilized all the ghost friends I know in the hospital, and there are no patients with mutilated limbs in the hospital recently. An'an, people don't go to the hospital when they die. ”
"Well, I see, thank you for your hard work!"
"But An An, I met a living marginal person today!"
"Alive?" I was amazed and delighted.
I've seen a lot of dead people, but I haven't seen them alive.
Ordinary people will panic when they find out that there is an extra marginal person around them, and the marginal person is very fragile, so they often fall apart and die.
"Today an old woman brought him to the doctor, and although he was tightly wrapped, his feet in sandals betrayed him, one Egyptian and the other Greek. You must know that people are basically symmetrical, and they can't grow two types of feet. ”
"Okay Qingqing, did you leave their contact information?"
"Of course!" Lan Qingqing smiled, "I'll send it to you later!" ”
"Good!"
……
Early the next morning, I left the funeral home.
Hop on my beloved little electric donkey and follow the address to find the suburbs.
Asking around, I came to a small two-story building with a courtyard.
The accommodation is located in the corner of the village, somewhat remote and very quiet.
As soon as the geese in the pond at the gate saw me, they stretched out their necks and barked at me.
Not long after knocking on the door, a kind-looking old woman opened the door.
"Hello, can you finish my water?"
"Okay!" The old grandmother smiled, "Look at the way you sweat, are you thirsty?" Hurry on in! ”
The yard is very clean and there are some flowers and plants planted against the wall.
The old woman brought me a small bench and sat down, then turned around and staggered into the hall.
I fanned the wind with my hand and looked left and right, and stumbled upon a head in the window.
A small curtain was lifted, revealing half of his face.
It looked like it was looking at me.
But when my eyes caught up with him, the man quickly retracted his head.
"Kid, drink water!"
Suddenly, the old woman returned with a pot of tea.
"This is my own tea leaves, and it's sweet! But you can only drink it during the day, and you can't sleep at night! ”
"Thank you, Grandma!" I smiled and said, "Grandma, your surname!" ”
"My surname is Wang, and everyone calls me Grandma Wang!"
"Grandma Wang, how many people are in your family!"
"My family...... Two bites! Grandma Wang smiled a little unnaturally, "After the wife and son died, the daughter-in-law also ran away, leaving a little grandson to rely on each other." ”
The grandson that Grandma Wang said is the marginal person mentioned by Lan Qingqing, right?
"Grandma, how old is he? What grade are you in? ”
"Fourteen or fifteen years old!" Grandma Wang lowered her head and smiled, "I have no interest in learning, so I dropped out of school and stayed at home, which is good to help me do farm work at home and feed the chickens or something!" This kid is not learning material, and it's useless to force him, right? ”
"Yes, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren!"
"Kid, are you a college student?"
"Well, I'm Haida!"
"Haida!" Grandma Wang immediately smiled and narrowed her eyes, "Although I haven't heard of it, it's very powerful to be able to go to college!" You young people ......"
Before Grandma Wang finished speaking, a thin figure suddenly walked out.
Wearing long sleeves and long pants, but slippers are stepping on your feet.
If you look closely, sure enough, the two feet are different.
"God, why did you come out?"
Grandma Wang exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly greeted her.
"God, you can't see the wind when you're sick!"
The boy who was called a godsend tilted his head and stared at me, without a trace of expression on his face, like a wax figure.
"This is my grandson, Wang Tianci!" Grandma Wang hurriedly said, "He has an infectious disease, you should leave quickly, don't be infected!" ”
