"What happened?!"
Although she knew everything perfectly well, Song Mengmeng had no intention of giving up this opportunity to talk to the residents of the county. Sometimes, these aunties knew far more information than the police station could.
"Oh my, you guys don't know yet?! Yesterday, three people from our county were found missing on the mountain!"
The aunt whispered mysteriously beside Song Mengmeng.
"The police have all gone up the mountain now, so you guys better be careful!"
"No way? Is something wrong? Auntie, do you know those people?!"
Song Mengmeng tilted her head, cutely continuing to try and get information out of him.
The auntie had a lot to say and wanted to confide in someone. Seeing that Song Mengmeng was interested, she was naturally more than happy to oblige. She poured out everything she knew to Song Mengmeng, making sure everything was clear and unambiguous.
Song Mengmeng overheard a lot of gossip and didn't even want to go shopping anymore. She dragged Yan Di back along the road to wait for lunch and fish.
According to the aunt's explanation, the three bodies possessed by those things were indeed Miao people from the county town. They lived a relatively peaceful and normal life in the county town and hadn't noticed anything amiss.
But just this morning, the bodies of those three people were discovered in a cave behind the altar.
This time, not only those three people were affected, but the altar, which the Miao people regard as a sacred place, was also affected and was sealed off in layers.
When Hu Yue arrived, it was already past nine o'clock at night.
Because of the incident at the altar, the entire county was in an uproar that day. The situation on the mountain hadn't been fully investigated, so many projects involving going up the mountain were currently suspended.
Yunya County is only so big, and most of the people there are mountain climbers who come from afar. Now that they are not allowed to go up the mountain, many people are complaining and starting to have second thoughts.
Hobbies are important, but life is more important!
Seeing Hu Yue arrive looking travel-worn, Song Mengmeng didn't say much and immediately asked if she had eaten. Hu Yue said no, so the girl went to find Aunt He. A moment later, Aunt He came over smiling, carrying two large bowls of rice noodles on a tray, along with two dishes of homemade pickles.
Hu Yue and Reynolds were indeed in a hurry on this trip. Seeing such delicious food, they didn't say much and buried themselves in eating. After filling their stomachs, the two of them looked much better than when they first entered the inn.
"I inquired about what happened in this county town on the way here. Although the bodies of those three people were only discovered this morning, do you know what information the police station received?!"
The exact time of death for the three bodies ranged from a year ago to five years ago.
Hu Yue took a sip of the hot tea in her cup and then told Song Mengmeng and the others the information she had obtained.
Actually, before she could even ask about it, the news had already been sent to their special task force.
For no other reason than that this matter is just too strange.
Putting aside the way the report was filed, the time of death of these three bodies is even more unbelievable.
If these were just outsiders, that would be one thing, but these three people are native locals. In fact, many people had greeted and spoken to them just yesterday.
But now you're saying that these three people have actually been dead for several years...
After the initial shock, all that remained in my heart was a deep sense of fear and dread!
"If that's the case, can we understand it as follows: once this thing successfully parasitizes a person, the original owner of that body is essentially dead?!"
Upon hearing the clues provided by Hu Yue, Song Mengmeng immediately perked up.
"If that's the case, I can probably understand why these guys keep looking for hosts!"
Because the bodies they chose were already dead when they parasitized them! Even if they could manipulate a dead body in a way that made it seem like a normal person, the body itself was already dead.
A dead body cannot be preserved for long. After all, living people are subject to birth, aging, sickness, and death, but dead bodies are not.
Therefore, in order to avoid suspicion, these things must constantly change their form.
This explains why those guys were so excited and overjoyed after discovering that Valenna was a vampire!
Because vampires possess powerful and perfect bodies; they are immortal and eternally youthful, allowing them to live for an extremely long time!
“These things will definitely infiltrate the vampires first.” After listening to Hu Yue’s explanation, not only Song Mengmeng realized the deeper meaning, but even Reynolds, who was sitting next to Hu Yue, thought about what had happened in those inexplicable cases in his territory.
"But if their targets are really vampires, why haven't blood curse incidents like Valenna's happened before?!"
Song Mengmeng was somewhat puzzled. Although Reynolds' analysis made sense, it was still a bit hard to explain in this context.
If vampire bodies are the best host for these puppets, then why has this entire long history only seen one incident involving Valenna?!
"Could we make a similar assumption?"
If the vampires' spirits are very strong, the puppets will not easily tame the original souls after the attack, and a situation like Valenna's, where they perish together, may easily occur!
