332 Tadpole Mole (Part 2)
Eat the bugs
The surface of the tadpoles was slippery, and just looking at them made one feel like they were crawling on one's body. The other people were similar, and they were all wearing black protective clothing, so it felt like everyone's head looked like a large tadpole.
Pei Shu was heading towards the river, so that road should be blocked.
The only thing in common between Zhu Ning and Lin Xiaofeng is the chickens. They are very weird and stare at people motionlessly. The animals in this village make people feel very uncomfortable.
Pei Shu: "Bai Cheng might have touched something."
After looking around, it seems that only Bai Cheng's line is easier to break through. What did she see?
They didn't plan to rest, but to go straight to find the family that Bai Cheng had investigated. Their main business was duck farming. There was a sign hanging outside: Lao Li Breeding Base.
It's called a breeding base, but it's just a duck house at best. The house leads to a pond at the back, and you can open the gate and let the ducks out to find food.
When they went in, the ducks were very quiet, huddled quietly in the duck house, not moving at all, as if it were fake.
The front is the main house, which also runs a farm stay, which can be considered a side business, and the signature dish is freshly slaughtered and eaten.
In addition to eating duck, this restaurant also offers experience programs, such as farm fishing experience, and colorful fishing nets for children to catch small fish or tadpoles.
There is a dining table in the front hall to entertain guests, and at the back is the family's courtyard. The clothes hanging there are all autumn and winter styles, as well as two red scarves, and couplets and red lanterns at the door. Could it be a disaster that happened during the Chinese New Year?
Zhu Ning searched around but didn't find any key clues. After all, not everyone likes to write a diary or record their life with audio recordings.
Moreover, if you enter an ordinary family, you may not know the family’s name unless you find their ID card.
They entered the kitchen, which was designed to serve guests. It was much larger than an ordinary kitchen and even had a large glass window so that guests could watch the entire slaughtering process if they were worried.
Zhu Ning could imagine a boss wearing a black apron, chopping meat on a chopping board while saying, "It's fresh. I won't cheat you with frozen goods, so don't worry."
But now the boss was gone, leaving only a protective suit, intact and leaning against the stove. Zhu Ning asked, "Did you touch it?"
"No, I just squatted down and saw the figure." Bai Cheng seemed to understand what Zhu Ning noticed and said, "I noticed it too. The protective suit is closed and not opened."
If they were to take off their protective suits by themselves, they would definitely open the secret buttons. They walk in contaminated areas, and even if they have lost their memory, they are familiar with the structure of the protective suits, but this protective suit is very complete.
Zhu Ning shook a little, and heard the sound of water inside the protective suit. Her face changed. She opened her helmet and found that the protective suit was similar to a space suit. Even if there was no one inside, it was a three-dimensional structure, like a jar.
Zhu Ning laid down his protective suit and the water inside flowed out. Zhu Ning took two steps back to avoid dirtying his shoes. The water rushed out with the tadpoles, which were flapping their tails.
It seems that the people who came in have turned into tadpoles, and this will be their fate if they don't leave early.
Zhu Ning took a quick look and activated the data mode in his brain. He wondered if there were any tadpoles left in the finger gloves of his protective suit. There were probably more than 290 tadpoles.
This person probably had very little good skin left before he died, and his body was probably invaded by tadpoles like a showerhead.
They don't have much time left. Growing one hundred tadpole moles is a watershed, and growing two hundred is not far from death.
This time, they formed a team to explore other places, but still did not encounter anyone. However, they found protective suits again, and inside the protective suits were tadpoles, a total of six.
Six people once died here. It seems that they were not a group of people and may have entered by mistake.
The recording function and secondary brain inside the protective suit were all out of order, and they could not get any more information from their predecessors.
If they cannot find a way out and the source of pollution, they can only watch as the tadpole moles on their bodies increase in number.
Zhu Ning could accept his own death, but he could not accept himself turning into a tadpole.
The four of them didn't find any useful clues and were in a dead end, so they had no choice but to return to Lao Li's breeding base. Bai Cheng was standing in the kitchen, lost in thought, where he had seen people before.
Who is that person? If he is alive, is he a good person or a bad person? Is he here to remind me?
Or maybe he originally wanted to kill Bai Cheng, but was discovered so he ran away first?
Or perhaps they were trying to lure them into the bamboo forest? But the bamboo forest had already been inspected and there was nothing unusual.
There must be a reason, and why did Bai Cheng see it first? Did she do something special?
Bai Cheng was carrying a corpse and walking around in the kitchen, as if trying to simulate the man's intentions.
Zhu Ning felt the pain on the back of his neck getting heavier, so he deliberately stayed away from the water source, feeling that this place was not very clean.
Pei Shu stared at the dark river surface. The water did not seem to be flowing normally, but seemed to be muddied by tadpoles. His intuition told him that there must be something underwater, perhaps a key clue.
But in this damn place, going into the water would probably be suicide.
Lin Xiaofeng was observing the mole on his face. The tadpole mole was moving around in the transparent body. Lin Xiaofeng initially thought it was just crawling on the surface, but in fact it was going deep inside.
She was a transparent person and could see clearly that the tadpole mole had drilled in from the ear and reached the brain.
Lin Xiaofeng could hide the tadpole mole and make it completely blend into the transparent man's body, but it was useless.
In the end, even Bai Cheng gave up. She really couldn't figure it out. When she turned back, the other three were waiting in the yard. There was a big round table, and it seemed that several people came to the farm house to drink duck soup.
They also wanted to try to see if they could trigger new clues, but they found nothing.
Pei Shu: "Open your notebook."
Bai Cheng had not experienced Chen Qihang's notebook yet, but after hearing Zhu Ning's description, he was a little curious. After all, she could still come back to life after she died.
Everyone agreed. Zhu Ning took out Chen Qihang's notebook. It was getting colder and colder, probably because they had entered the village. The bandages and the notebook paper were a little damp.
The notebook was written by countless Chen Qihangs. Handwriting appeared as soon as it was opened, which meant that someone had once been to this village.
January 3, 2022
My name is Chen Qihang, an abnormal incident investigator. My main responsibility is to investigate abnormal phenomena...
This is a true story that happened to me. I didn’t pay attention to it at first, but my wife discovered it. While we were eating, my wife accidentally asked me, “Why do you have a mole on the back of your neck?”
By the time I noticed it, the mole was already the size of a soybean, with two hairs growing on it and irregular edges.
My wife suggested that I should go to the hospital for a check-up, as the mole that suddenly appeared might worsen. However, I was very busy with work at that time, so I thought I would wait a few days. After all, it was not an emergency. A week later, I took a shower and wanted to touch the mole that my wife cared about, but I didn't feel anything.
I looked in the mirror and saw the back of my neck. There was no mole there at all. Did I remember it wrongly? But she was the one who saw it first. If I was the only one who remembered it wrongly, my wife wouldn't forget it, right?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong. I checked my whole body and finally found the mole on the sole of my left foot. It was bigger than before and embedded in the sole of my foot like a candied date. It was visibly wrong.
If this mole is new, it is too big. If it is the one on the back of the neck, can the mole move by itself?
I immediately dropped what I was doing and took a taxi to the hospital. But after seeing the dermatologist, I showed the doctor the sole of my left foot, but there was nothing there. The mole as big as a candied date had disappeared.
Could it be that... the mole moved again?
The doctor looked at me in confusion, probably because I was behaving too strangely. He examined my entire body and found only three moles on my body, all very small, so there was no disease involved. He told me to go back and observe carefully.
The doctor tactfully suggested that I get enough rest and not stay up late, as staying up late is harmful to the body and can easily lead to mental weakness.
I walked out of the hospital in a daze, feeling confused. Should I see a psychiatrist?
I immediately ran home and the first thing I did when I got home was to take off my clothes. My wife was scared by me and helped me close the door, saying that I was embarrassing myself.
But I couldn't care less and stripped naked in front of the dressing mirror. My wife was blaming me but I couldn't say a word because it was too horrible. My back was covered with black moles, each one was the size of a soybean.
And there is a small tail behind the round black mole, like... a tadpole.
My wife was so scared that she stepped back and asked me if I had seen a doctor. I scratched my back like crazy and made myself bleed, but the stuff was still there and even moved from my back to my thighs.
My wife stopped me from self-harming. When I realized what was happening, there was blood and flesh between my nails. She told me to go see a doctor, but I couldn't hear what she was saying anymore...
Every time I went to see the doctor, he couldn't find any clues. After listening to my description, the doctor said it was a strange disease.
I locked myself in my room, didn't want to see anyone, and lost my job.
I live my life with the curtains drawn tightly, but the moles are becoming more and more numerous and harder to ignore. They grow in every corner of my body and even my entire face. Even when I stick out my tongue, it is covered with tadpole moles.
If I walked into the living room, I would wrap myself in a bandage, leaving only one eye exposed, but over time, the white of my eye grew longer.
I'm driving myself crazy...
I could only post online for help. The life group said I was making up stories, so I could only hang out in supernatural forums. The stories there were all claimed to be true stories. Other people’s stories were made up, but I knew mine was true.
I wrote a popular post titled "The mole on my body is moving". It received good responses after it was published, but I didn't receive any effective advice. Netizens either told me to see a psychiatrist, or to convert to religion, or to take Chinese medicine.
I know these methods can't save me. My health is getting worse and worse. I'm out of breath after walking a few steps. My eyesight is not as good as before. My body is often sticky. I guess I will turn into a big tadpole.
If my family didn't hear me and opened the door to see a big black tadpole lying on the bed, it would be so terrifying. I even wrote a suicide note, thinking of finding a place to end my life while I was still able to move, so as not to cause trouble for my family.
When I was at my wit's end, I suddenly received a private message from a stranger: Have you been to Fengyu Village?
I was stunned for a moment, because I had actually been to this place before. It was a weekend, a remote fishing village that could be reached in four hours' drive. This was an unpopular and niche tourist destination that I saw on the Internet. There was a river and ponds of various sizes in the village. Our whole family went there for two days.
The food in every household is delicious and very authentic. The duck soup is very fresh, and you can also experience fishing.
Is there something wrong with that area? Is it related to the abnormality in my body? Is there something wrong with my family?
I asked him immediately, and he said that several people who had been to the village had the same symptoms as me.
It’s hard to describe my mood at that time. It was as if I had been locked in a dark room for a long time and finally saw a little light. There was salvation, and there were people in this world who had the same experience as me.
But he said that I had to write an investigation note in the name of Chen Qihang before he would tell me more information, and it might not be useful.
Why did he have to call Chen Qihang? But I didn't care anymore. He sent me a box of things and told me to follow the ceremony and then follow his instructions.
When people are desperate, they will believe anything. The netizen's ID was a string of garbled numbers and the location was blank. The thing he sent me was simply a box of junk.
A broken bowl with a rooster painted on it, six red candles, a bottle of black unknown liquid, a wriggling worm in a transparent bottle, and some tools that I had no idea what they were supposed to be used for.
After I received the package, I checked it and there was no shipping information. It seemed like someone left it at my door.
My family was very worried about me. My father saw me coming back in a panic with a parcel and asked me what was wrong.
I hid in the room like a ghost and sent a message to that stranger online, asking: What does it mean?
He said: Eat the worm.
