There are three groups of statues left.

After solving the first set, the rest became easy, just like pinching a thread and pulling it, the whole piece of cloth can be torn apart.

Based on the experience of the first group, the remaining ones must also be related to snakes.

Li Yuebai turned his attention to the second group again.

The Egyptian woman, dressed in gorgeous clothes, looked sad and hopeless. She was lying on the ground with a basket in front of her. There seemed to be some figs in the basket...

If we add the snake, what is this about? It shouldn't be a very obscure one, after all, Adam and Eve are well-known.

Who is the most famous woman in Egypt?

Egyptian Queen!

Cleopatra, the Queen of Egypt!

The story of her death was widely spread. The earliest one came from the Greek biographer Plutarch, who said that after her defeat, she asked her maid to bring her a small basket of figs, in which a small poisonous snake named "Aspis" was hidden. She put her hand into the basket and let the snake bite her to death...

Therefore, this statue depicts the scene before the death of the Egyptian queen.

In other words, just put the right snake in that basket.

"It's a very small venomous snake that existed in Central Asia and North Africa many years ago. Its name is Asipis..." The more Li Yuebai spoke, the more complicated it seemed.

"It might be an Egyptian cobra." Liang Jing frowned and carefully picked out a tiny cobra.

After putting it into the basket, the same changes occurred. The statue became still and finally turned into a puff of white smoke, and the scene before my eyes became clear again.

There are only two groups of statues left.

The third group should be a god from Indian mythology.

The BGM of "Playing in the Mud in Northeast China" immediately rang in Li Yuebai's mind.

There are so many Indian gods, and some have four hands, three eyes, a crescent moon on their heads, tiger skin around their waists, and a trident in their hands...

Li Yuebai tried hard to recall the pictures he had seen.

A year ago, Indian mythological TV series were very popular on the Internet. Some young girls had special tastes and were obsessed with them. One girl even put all the pictures on the big screen when she needed to explain the PPT in class, and explained them seriously - this is Brahma, this is Vishnu, this is Krishna, this is Shiva...

Shiva! Shiva, the God of Destruction! That's him!

Li Yuebai didn't have the superpower of photographic memory, so his recollections were extremely painful. Fortunately, Shiva was so distinctive, and had so many iconic items on her body, that he was able to barely remember her.

What is the relationship between Shiva and snakes?

…

"Ah, I don't like Shiva. He actually has a snake around his neck. It's disgusting!" A girl covered her eyes and screamed, "I hate snakes the most!"

“That’s what Shiva is like.” The girl who was explaining the PPT said contemptuously, “How can you stupid mortals understand?”

"But this snake is neither yellow nor black, it's so ugly." someone else said.

…

So, what kind of snake is it?

The yellow cobra with black markings is neither yellow nor black. Its flat head and aggressive markings are particularly iconic.

"Sister Liang, a yellow cobra with black patterns!" Li Yuebai shouted while gathering his strength and ran straight towards the Shiva statue.

In the illusion, his fighting power seemed to be weakened. He was far less powerful than Gu Xisha in normal times, but he was not as small-minded as himself. He could only be considered okay.

The Shiva statue was enraged by him and stabbed at him fiercely with the trident in its hand. Li Yuebai dodged and rolled over, causing the trident to penetrate deeply into the ground and could not be pulled out for a while.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liang Jing bravely came forward holding the yellow-black spectacled cobra.

"Throw it." Li Yuebai ordered in a low voice: "Aim at the neck of the statue and throw it."

Liang Jing gritted her teeth, exerted force and loosened her grip, and the cobra flew out like a rope.

The moment it touched the neck of the Shiva statue, it immediately clung to it as if attracted by something, and its yellow-black body turned into gray-white plaster, merging with the Shiva statue. The Shiva statue also immediately stopped moving, and the pattern was motionless. After a few seconds, it turned into white smoke.

The good thing about the fourth group is that it is Chinese, but the bad thing is that it is completely unrecognizable.

The Emperor Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Taizong of Tang and Emperor Taizu of Song can all be put on this statue.

This middle-aged man has a majestic aura and the majesty of an emperor, but he is not wearing a ceremonial robe, nor does he have twelve tassels on his head. Perhaps he is an emperor who has not yet become famous?

The Emperor and the Snake...

Li Yuebai bravely followed Liang Jing to take a look at the box where the snake was placed.

Most of the snakes were dark or mottled in color, but there was one that was very special, it was pure white.

Li Yuebai couldn't help but think of the Legend of the White Snake.

However, this statue obviously has nothing to do with the Legend of the White Snake.

The middle-aged man's movements were always so distinctive—he swung his long sword and chopped at the ground again and again.

What are you chopping? Snakes?

Li Yuebai felt like a light bulb in his head had turned on.

Emperor Gaozu of Han killed the white snake and started an uprising! What a famous folk story! Perhaps it was not very popular after the founding of the People's Republic of China, which is why he only remembered it at this time.

This story was first written by Sima Qian in the "Records of the Grand Historian". It said that when Liu Bang, the first emperor of the Han Dynasty, was a village head in Pei County, he was walking in the mountains and encountered a huge white snake. His subordinates were afraid and suggested that they take another route. However, Liu Bang, under the influence of alcohol, said, "What is there to be afraid of when a man travels the world?" He cut the white snake into two pieces with one sword. On the way back, he met an old lady crying on the side of the road. The old lady said, "My son is the son of the White Emperor. He turned into a big snake and crossed the road. He was killed by the son of the Red Emperor!" From then on, people all believed that Liu Bang was the "son of the Red Emperor", and his hegemony began.

After placing the White Snake under the sword of this "Emperor Gaozu of Han", the entire exhibition hall shook and dissipated in an instant... Soon, the messy laboratory appeared before our eyes again.

Liang Jing swayed and stood still. She looked around in confusion, then turned away and didn't look at Weng Zichen.

"I... I broke your illusion." Liang Jing's voice trembled a little: "Weng Zichen, what else do you want? I have already signed the divorce agreement, and we have nothing to do with each other from now on!"

"Do you really think I'll keep my word?" Weng Zichen walked up to Liang Jing with a crazy smile, step by step: "I just want to suck your blood now..."

Li Yuebai calmly drew his knife and prepared to respond.

Unexpectedly, before Weng Zichen walked in front of Liang Jing, his expression changed from madness to despair. He suddenly knelt down on the ground and burst into tears!

"Help, help me!" He looked at his scaly hands in disbelief, and looked at Li Yuebai and Ye Qing with a pair of strange eyes: "You are police officers, there must be a way, right? I don't want to become like this, I don't want to be occupied by that thing again, save me!"

…

Three hours later, the Municipal Bureau.

Even Director Yang, who believed least in the existence of vampires, had to admit the reality after reading Weng Zichen's medical examination report and X-rays.

"Double brains, two dirty hearts? Can this be explained by science?" Director Yang frowned as he looked at the report, which had the facts clearly written in black and white.

"It can be explained preliminarily, but the specific principle still needs further in-depth research." The doctor also looked confused: "The person's body was invaded. A smaller foreign heart was added next to the original heart, and a new layer of nerve centers was covered outside the original brain... In simple terms, the original one heart and one brain became two hearts and two brains now."

So this is the principle of dormant body possession! Li Yuebai understood.

"And judging from his medical history, Weng Zichen originally had a heart valve defect, but now, the defect has been filled. It is suspected to be related to external invasion..." the doctor continued.

Vampires have a strong ability to repair themselves, and after possessing a body, they can naturally repair the original damage.

"Then, do you have a way to remove the foreign heart and brain?" Director Yang asked.

"Sorry, we can't do that." The doctor sighed. "The invading heart is too close to his original heart and too closely connected. If it is removed hastily, it will damage the original heart and put his life in danger. The same is true for the brain. The invading brain is almost a layer covering the original brain and cannot be separated."

This time, unlike the last time with Ma Xiaoting, the snake demon Lilith's possession speed was obviously much faster than that of the maid Ampsha. It quickly invaded and quickly grew into the heart and nervous system. Everything was already a foregone conclusion, and it was absolutely impossible to exorcise it with garlic like last time.

"We can't go on like this." Director Yang frowned. "What if in a few days, the vampire's brain takes over and controls Weng Zichen to hurt people? What should we do?"

"In fact, in the two cases we witnessed before, the vampire brain was dominant." Li Yuebai interrupted: "The first two victims completely lost the ability to control themselves. Only Weng Zichen miraculously took the initiative."

Ye Qing nodded silently.

"How did he successfully suppress the influence of the foreign brain?" Director Yang slammed the table in confusion and asked: "Based on past records, Weng Zichen's personal moral standards are not high. Why is it him?"

There was silence in the conference room.

Li Yuebai said tentatively: "Maybe - sorry, what I'm going to say next is not very scientific - maybe it has something to do with willpower, emotions or something?"

"Willpower and emotions?"

Li Yuebai nodded: "Yes, after several contacts, I feel that Weng Zichen is a typical romantic personality, immersed in his own world, and stubborn. Perhaps it is this personality that makes it difficult for him to be completely manipulated by the vampire brain."

"Is there any scientific basis for this statement?" Director Yang turned to the doctor.

"Brain science and neuroscience are very complex disciplines. Captain Gu's statement may be credible." The doctor frowned and finally gave an uncertain answer.

Li Yuebai looked through the existing plot information in the system again, and became more and more confident in his guess.

Because in the original plot, the male protagonist Ye Qing was also possessed by a dormant vampire body, and he also used his willpower to repel the vampire brain's attempt to manipulate him, always allowing his own brain to take the lead.

It seems that this is not a cheat for the male protagonist, but a universal principle.
