At that moment, another scream rang out.
He's fat.
The fat man's feet were tangled in his hair, and he was dragged to the ground. His thick fingers dug into the ground, leaving several half-meter-long bloody marks.
"I don't want to die! Help..."
The words stopped abruptly as the fat man was pulled into the crowd of villagers. Immediately, countless black hairs sprouted from the villagers and wrapped around the fat man's entire body. Some of the finer hairs even burrowed into the fat man's mouth, nose, ears, and even all the eyes on his body.
Shen Lingxue was also in dire straits; her spiritual energy was completely depleted, and she had no flame left, so she could only rely on her body to fight hand-to-hand.
However, without spirituality, she was like a martial arts hero who had lost his inner strength, unable to even defeat a small fry. She only lasted a moment before being dragged into the crowd of villagers, following in the footsteps of Fatty and Zhao Hao.
Countless strands of black hair coiled around her, the black hair slithering like snakes into her mouth and nose, and even into her entire body...
At this point, only Fang Xiu remained.
It's not necessarily that he was the strongest. In terms of destructive power, Shen Lingxue was definitely superior. However, although her fire ability was very powerful, it was obviously too energy-consuming and not long-lasting. After killing many villagers, her spiritual energy dried up.
In contrast, Fang Xiu, although all his attacks were single-target, seemed to be handling them with relative ease thanks to the sharpness of his scalpel and the abnormal power of his pain.
To deal with these demonic slaves, he only needed to expend a trace of his pain power to kill one of them, because his pain power was simply too painful.
However, it was only a matter of time before Fang Xiu was defeated. Without the support of his teammates, even he could not deal with attacks from all directions at the same time. Although the consumption of the power of pain was small, he had only lit up five percent of his spirituality. In terms of endurance, he was not as good as Shen Lingxue.
Of course, he still has a trump card, but it's not time to use it yet, because the main culprit hasn't appeared yet, and even if he uses his trump card now, he can't completely resolve this strange event.
Faced with such a desperate situation, Fang Xiu remained calm. Sensing his spiritual energy dwindling, he immediately raised the scalpel in his hand and plunged it into his forehead.
As long as I commit suicide quickly enough, no supernatural being can kill me; this is Fang Xiu's principle.
The main reason is that the way Shen Lingxue and the other two died was really hard to accept, after all, people have other orifices besides eyes, ears, mouth and nose.
As the scalpel was inserted into his forehead, a sharp pain shot through him, and the next second, Fang Xiu lost consciousness.
......
......
"Brother Xiu, what's going on? Did these villagers all grow up eating black sesame seeds?"
"Where can you find black sesame seeds with such potent effects? I just saw several elderly people with hair like that, jet black and shiny, without a single gray hair."
The voices of the tragically deceased Zhao Hao and the fat man rang out again.
Fang Xiu came to his senses, his gaze deep and calm, like a bottomless pool.
He glanced around at the villagers who had not yet mutated, and a guess already formed in his mind.
It seems that these villagers would live like ordinary people if they didn't realize their identities.
He doesn't plan to take action against the villagers for now, because it's useless. These villagers are all demon slaves, and even if he kills them all, he won't be able to resolve this strange event.
The only way to completely solve this problem is to find the true form of the mystery.
Clearly, the strange creature at the bottom of the lake is not the real body, but rather a ghost slave like a villager, controlled by hair.
Why did that strange creature, with so many demonic slaves, choose to lure them to the Blackwater River and let the female demonic slave corpse do the work, when it could have simply dealt with them directly?
Could it be...?
Is this strange creature deliberately diverting our attention, making us mistakenly believe that the female corpse is the source? That way, after we kill the female corpse, we will think that we have completed our mission and can go back to report?
But if that's the case, then the question arises: what's the situation with the special operations team being under control?
The first time, we were all killed by the special operations team.
If the strange creature's purpose was to kill them, then with its hundreds of strange slaves, it could have easily made a move while they were staying overnight at the village chief's house; there was absolutely no need for such a fuss.
Moreover, the methods by which this strange creature controls the villagers are clearly different from those of the special operations team. The villagers are controlled by their hair, and each of them has its hair inside their body, but the special operations team does not.
The two events have begun to contradict each other. Fang Xiu has a vague feeling that there may be some key hidden in this, but there is too little information for him to make a judgment for the time being.
Logically, we should probably start with the female corpse.
Who is the female corpse? How did she die? Why is the strange entity controlling her even though she's submerged in water?
Once these issues are clarified, the source of the strangeness can be found by peeling back the layers.
But Fang Xiu didn't intend to play by the rules.
Finding out the truth is the job of detectives; as for the bizarre, he only cares about killing it, not burying it.
Fang Xiu took out the Bureau of Investigation's encrypted phone and started making a call.
"Su Kexin, tell the special operations team to turn around immediately, go to the nearest gas station, and buy all the gasoline and diesel they can bring back."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Shen Lingxue and the others immediately looked at him in surprise.
"Brother Xiu, what do you need gasoline for?" Zhao Hao asked curiously.
"I have my own uses," Fang Xiu said calmly.
After making the arrangements, Fang Xiu went through the process again, but this time he didn't kill the man and woman; instead, he drove them away.
As for the special operations team, Fang Xiu had them set up the water pumps and dig the ditches before quickly leaving, not giving them a chance to be controlled.
After watching a few times, he roughly understood how to drain the Blackwater River and could operate it himself.
After working for half a day and draining the river, the hair-wielding monster reappeared, and Shen Lingxue fought it in a fierce battle.
Fang Xiu then began inspecting the gasoline and diesel fuel. The special operations team was very responsible and carried out orders without fail.
They brought nearly a hundred barrels of gasoline and diesel.
At this moment, Shen Lingxue had already ended the battle and successfully burned the clump of hair to ashes.
"Mission accomplished, we can prepare to return now."
"It's not over yet." Fang Xiu shook his head and said, "It's just a strange clone. The real strangeness is still hidden in Blackwater Village."
Shen Lingxue was taken aback, and asked tactfully, "You sensed it?"
"Yes, that's not all. All the villagers in Blackwater Village are slaves of that strange ghost. There isn't a single living person left. The only way to completely resolve this incident is to find the source ghost."
Fang Xiu calmly uttered chilling words.
