Chapter 295: The Widow of the Ghost Master
This monster was stronger than the people in the Special Department thought. The full box of exorcism bullets fired at him only accelerated his desire to escape.
Gu Xing chanted incantations and walked around to block the outside world so as not to cause panic among the citizens. The people from the Special Department set up a formation according to the Bagua and stayed at specific positions to prevent the monsters from escaping from the formation.
The black cat took the place of Shuang Ling, its thick tail shaking, its dark green pupils shrinking into thin lines, and its sharp claws under its pads flashing coldly in the night.
When the two spirits were free, they quickly took He Ting away from the formation to prevent the monsters from using her body to hinder them.
After putting He Ting in the car, Shuang Ling immediately called the district for help.
Police strikes are never one-on-one. They always strive to inflict the most force with the least casualties.
The monster let out a sharp scream. Most people in the neighborhood did not notice anything unusual, but some children were frightened and cried. Shuang Ling endured the tinnitus, got out of the car and guarded the edge of the formation.
The monster screamed like this, it must be Chen Xun who took action.
Just as Shuang Ling expected, Jun Ge with a crew cut was standing not far from the monster, with blood dripping from his palms.
A natural pure yang body has absolute restraint on yin energy, not to mention that Chen Xun joined the army when he was young. His strong willpower and military prestige made his blood a powerful weapon.
After Gu Xingliu Ye glanced at him, Chen Xun saw the enemy he was going to deal with this time, approached the monster, and dripped blood on his head.
But the scene was so strange that it was beyond his expectations. The monster's head and limbs were trying hard to rush towards the formation, but the torso that did not belong to him was moving in the completely opposite direction, causing the monster to fall into a self-stalemate for a moment.
The torso of an adult man with its head and limbs cut off was trying to move in the direction it wanted to go by slowly crawling, even though it had lost the support that allowed it to move.
The torso still has the clothes that the human wore when he was alive, but they are worn out over a large area and covered with all kinds of dirt. There is a strip of cloth hanging at the waist, and the slight traces of movement show the body's efforts.
Chen Xun couldn't help but be shocked, looking at the young man standing in that direction. The young man's face was pale and bloodless in the night, even almost ghostly. The next moment, a large amount of white mist surged out of his body, causing Chen Xun to shout "Be careful" in a stern voice.
That was a subconscious call to alert his companions, which came from an intuition of danger. Even though he knew that Lin Zhi was from the same camp, his emotions overwhelmed his reason in an instant.
Even death cannot stop the horrible obsession of flesh and blood crawling towards its loved ones. What is the difference between the humans entangled by this obsession and the ghosts that had to be dealt with in the past?
Everyone was a little stressed out by Chen Xun's voice and subconsciously attacked the monster. The cinnabar yellow talisman smeared with Chen Xun's blood covered the monster's head and ignited yang fire. It was also at this time that everyone noticed the spreading white mist.
Chen Xun was silent for a moment, and when he saw the thick fog covering the monster, he stopped talking.
Lin Zhi watched Lian Qing's ghost energy corrode the monster's limbs and did not move forward. It was not that he did not care about Lian Qing's torso, but that a ghost was sticking intimately to his back, wrapping around his body like the dark mist. Lin Zhi could even feel the joy coming from Lian Qing.
——Look, my body is back.
He seemed to be saying that.
The monster, which had suffered multiple injuries, seemed unable to bear it any longer and was about to give up the container it had obtained.
His head was separated from his ill-fitting torso, and instead of being cut off completely, something sticky and almost rotten flesh was dragging under the head. The small limbs also seemed to be dragged out from the connection with the head and became part of the sticky flesh and blood.
"It's a piece of idiot meat."
Lin Zhi recognized the flesh and blood tissue under the head. This was the same thing he had seen on the coffins in the cave burial group.
The people from the Special Department changed their formation, and the support that Shuang Ling called for also arrived. She refilled the magazine with bullets and entered the formation. The black cat pounced towards the monster, and all kinds of things that restrained Yin objects fell on the monster, carrying out the dual physical and spiritual transcendence to the end.
Lin Zhi did not participate in the pursuit. Even if Lian Qing's ghost power was strong, it would be affected by those restraining objects.
He picked up Lian Qing's torso and moved it to the trunk.
If it was his car, he naturally wouldn't mind putting it on the passenger seat... Well, putting it on the back seat, putting it on the passenger seat might scare innocent people.
Like the uncorrupted head, Lian Qing's torso also appears to be alive, so the visual effect gives people an uncomfortable feeling that he has been dismembered, and the lack of limbs also makes the touch particularly strange.
Lin Zhi didn't find it scary, she just thought it was too dirty and needed to be washed and the clothes changed later.
Like the incision on the neck, the incisions on the limbs were very neat, but compared to the arms, Lian Qing's legs had some parts retained on the torso, and naturally, the things between the legs were also there.
This was within Lin Zhi's estimation. After all, there were only six points in the coordinates. If the key parts also became parts, then there would be seven points.
If that were really the case, Lin Zhi might laugh for a long time.
Lin Zhi closed the trunk of the car and heard a slightly dull explosion not far away.
The range of the sound did not seem to be limited to the illusory level. People walking and passing by on the roadside all looked towards the source of the sound, with a tendency to get closer.
Experienced staff got out of the car on the roadside and put up roadblocks, indicating that an underground well had collapsed and advising citizens not to approach to avoid danger.
He Ting, who was in the car, was also awakened by the sound. The image of the monster was still in his mind, and he looked around in confusion.
When she saw the handsome young man next to the car, she realized that what she had just seen was not an illusion.
The young man outside the car opened the door and sat in the back seat. He Ting was sitting in the passenger seat. Although there was a barrier between him and him, he still couldn't help but shrink forward.
The world seemed to become somewhat magical and terrifying, and the young man behind her gave her an overly gloomy feeling.
Lin Zhi sensed her fear and had no intention of comforting her. He just said, "A public official will come to explain this to you in a while. Don't worry, you are safe now."
He Ting relaxed a little after hearing this, and couldn't help pinching himself to make sure he was awake.
She couldn't help but touch her arm. It seemed that the air conditioner was not on in the car. Why was the temperature so low? She was wearing a short sleeve and felt very cold.
She couldn't help but look at the young man in the back seat through the rearview mirror, but she looked away as if she had been electrocuted. With black hair and fair skin, he looked like a ghost in human skin in a story in the night, emitting the cold breath of a corpse.
He Ting lowered her head and poked the screen unconsciously with her fingers, feeling inexplicably uneasy. Did she just see something like a shadow behind her through the rearview mirror?
I must have seen it wrong... maybe it was an illusion caused by being scared.
Lin Zhi played with the paper-carved ring in her palm, not paying attention to other people's unusual reactions.
The cold wind was blowing on his neck and penetrating into his back through the gaps in his clothes.
Lian Qing greedily sniffed the scent of his lover. It seemed that the sweet fragrance oozing from his bones and blood made him want to swallow his limbs and taste them carefully.
The ghost paused for a moment, and Lian Qing frowned slightly. He really hated the nature of ghosts, and he didn't want to hurt Lin Zhi in the slightest.
As his limbs gradually became complete, his memory and thinking became closer to those when he was a human.
This also made him speechless about some of his previous stupid and childish behaviors. But what was strange was why he still had no memory of Lin Zhi?
The feeling is definitely not wrong. Lian Qing touched the back of Lin Zhi's neck, lowering his eyes thoughtfully.
It might be because he suffered too much trauma when he died. After all, there are still many people and things he hasn't remembered. When he turns into a ghost, his memories as a human being will become vague. Perhaps he will remember everything when his body is complete.
In fact, there is another possibility, that is, his death is related to Lin Zhi, so his memory may erase everything about Lin Zhi.
Lian Qing naturally ruled out this possibility, he knew how he died.
So when he looked at Lin Zhi now, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty. They loved each other so much, but he could not remember anything. So the love and desire became deeper and deeper. He gave a cold kiss on his lover's neck and gently bit his earlobe.
Lin Zhi felt a little uncomfortable with the coldness on his ears. When he was about to raise his hand to dispel the chill, Shuang Ling opened the back door of the car.
The strangeness in my body disappeared, and the warmth around me seemed to have returned to the human world.
"Brother Lin, it's a good thing that you're here. That's why it shrank so quickly. The noise just now was the sound of its head exploding. An important part of it is hidden in his brain."
Shuang Ling no longer said things like "Third Uncle" because he had just been reminded that the ghostly aura belonged to the company leader, and asked him to be careful not to bump into Brother Lin, lest he be haunted by evil spirits.
Shuang Ling certainly wouldn't do that, and she also felt that even the team leader wouldn't do that, but she had no idea whether he would do that or not.
Having dealt with supernatural events for so long, as an employee of the Special Department, she knew clearly that once a person turned into a ghost, he or she was no longer a human being.
Ghosts do not have human moral integrity, nor can they distinguish between justice and evil. Obsession is their greatest driving force, and they only act based on their preferences.
"I didn't expect that the old ghost's flesh and blood carrying resentment after his death would have such terrifying power. It swallowed a person and only used his brain. The body should have been eaten by him."
"It might have sensed our arrival, so it ran so fast. In the hospital, it met this lady with strong inspiration, so it hid in her shadow. If we hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid she would have been the second one to be eaten."
By then, the monster that has swallowed too much flesh and blood will grow into an uncontrollable threat.
Shuang Ling said this without hiding anything from anyone, and in fact, he said it just for people to hear.
He Ting's face turned pale with fright at her words, and Shuang Ling immediately tried to comfort him.
"Don't worry, Miss He. All the problems have been solved now. Please trust us, the police. However, since you have a special physique and are one of those with a strong inspiration value, we have two options for you to choose from."
When faced with ordinary people involved in supernatural events, the Special Department usually chooses to seal their memories, but people with higher inspiration have an additional choice, which is to become an employee or non-staff member of the Special Department. Different positions have different salary subsidies.
Shuang Ling is a qualified guide who analyzes the pros and cons completely.
People with higher levels of inspiration are destined to have a much higher probability of encountering supernatural events than ordinary people. Sometimes some people join the Special Department not to enter another door, but for their own safety.
He Ting thought about it and decided to seal her memory. She was an ordinary person who pursued stability. What scared her today was not the monster's horrific appearance, nor the fact that she was almost eaten, but the monster's ability to erase other people's memories and change reality that it showed her.
When she thought about facing such an existence, she felt that her previous life was particularly stable and beautiful.
Shuang Ling didn't try to persuade him anymore and picked up the cat beside him.
"Come, look into its eyes."
He Ting looked at the black cat's pupils which were gradually becoming rounder, and his expression became more and more dazed.
The two spirits were wiping the cat's paw pads while waiting for the seal to end.
When the black cat lowered its head to lick its fur, Shuang Ling smiled at He Ting.
"If you are in danger or feel something is wrong, please call the police at xxxxxx."
The two spirits left seeds of hints so that the other party could seek help from the police as soon as they noticed any signs. She had just investigated her identity information when she was unconscious. People with high inspiration who work in places like hospitals are likely to encounter supernatural events again.
"You can get off now, nothing happened tonight."
He Ting nodded with dilated pupils, opened the car door and got out.
A cool breeze blew by, making her shiver.
She stood there in a daze, and after a while she finally remembered what she was going to do.
She felt a little unwell this afternoon, so she switched shifts with her colleague and should go to work in a while, but why is she standing not far from the entrance of her friend's community?
He Ting thought about it for a while but couldn't remember anything. He subconsciously ignored the irrationality and decided to drive away.
She didn't call or message her friend in advance, so she should visit next time when she has free time.
On the way back to drive, He Ting heard everyone talking about how scary the sound of the underground well collapse was.
"I just heard that the road surface at the entrance of your community seems to have collapsed. Please be careful when you go out."
After sending the voice message, He Ting drove towards the hospital and returned to her daily life.
“Not everyone can calmly accept these things that are beyond their cognition. The reason why education makes people not believe in these falsehoods is that the more people know about them and believe in them, the stronger their power will be.”
Shuang Ling stroked the black cat's fur and couldn't help but remind it: "It is very dangerous to travel with a ghost. Even if it is an existence that you cannot give up, you still have to put your own safety first."
Lin Zhi looked at the girl's lively face and smiled at her, neither nodding nor shaking her head.
After finding Lian Qing's torso, their mission to Qiong Island came to an end.
Unlike the last time, this time everyone decided to make a quick decision and transport Lian Qing's body back into the coffin and seal it overnight to prevent other strange forces from following the scent.
The torso was placed in a special container and transported back to Lin Zhi and Lian Qing's home. When Gu Xing was about to help put the torso in, he was stopped by Lin Zhi.
"I need to clean it before putting it in. Don't worry, I can do it by myself."
Lin Zhi didn't have a strong obsession with cleanliness, but she couldn't bear to see Lian Qing's torso being put into the coffin like this.
"Okay then. I'll be leaving first."
Gu Xing did not insist, nor did he have the habit of watching his senior brother's dismembered torso taking a bath.
He left the community with his hands in his pockets. Even though he was a master, he couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling at this level of love.
Excessive love can make people resist abnormal things, but in this heavy situation, Gu Xing couldn't help feeling a little sad.
If he died like this, would there be someone to collect his body and stay by his side forever?
Gu Xing shook his head repeatedly, getting rid of this idea from his mind. It would be better not to delay others from guarding against ghosts. No, no, he would not be dismembered and would not die young.
Although he knew that his senior brother couldn't hear him, Gu Xing quickly added in his mind, "Senior brother, I didn't mean to imply anything against you."
His senior brother’s spirit in heaven certainly didn’t hear it, because his senior brother was taking a comfortable bath with his wife.
Lian Qing used to be a tall man, and even though he lost his legs, the length of his upper body was still not to be ignored.
Lin Zhi tore off its clothes and placed it in the bathtub. It had no support and could only sink to the bottom.
In order to make cleaning easier, Lin Zhi entered the bathtub with his clothes on and applied foam to his body.
The remains of the body, which possessed both strength and beauty, still had the soft skin it had when alive, but it was too cold and inelastic, making the touch feel like the pure slipperiness of inanimate flesh.
When it came to the key part of cleaning, Lin Zhi didn't feel embarrassed nor did she feel any difficulty.
In the nightmare beast’s dream in the previous world, when he lost control of his body, his lover cleansed him over and over again in the same way.
When people lose control of their bodies, they will feel a sense of shame for losing their dignity. Lin Zhi did not have such emotions at the time, because he felt an emotion from his lover that was better than love and closer to family affection, which embodied the word "family".
However, Lin Zhi overlooked one point: just because he had no ideas didn't mean the dead person had none.
The cold resuscitation, the torso of an adult male without limbs and head in the bathtub and the stunned beauty in the water form a terrifying and weird erotic picture.
