Chapter 98 Rat Killing 6
The next morning, Yu Ke was awakened by a series of life-threatening phone calls.
She picked up the phone in a daze and heard Yu Xiuming's voice from the other end:
"Another murder has happened. I'll wait for you at the door."
Because his tone was so understated, it seemed as if he was not talking about someone's death, but about the feeling of going out for a walk because the weather was nice today.
As a result, Yu Ke did not wake up immediately after the phone call was hung up.
She did not wake up naturally. Her body was just moving mechanically, and the soul that had left her body had not yet returned.
Still immersed in the afterglow of sweet dreams, reluctant to leave.
System 5488 played her a song on demand, the sound of a hundred roosters crowing.
Suddenly, a series of “Oh~Oh~Oh” sounds appeared in the little head, and Yu Ke woke up with an “Oh” instantly.
So not long after, Yu Xiuming saw Xiao Piaoliang with a blank expression.
He raised his eyebrows, the outline of his face was clear, "Are you still asleep?"
Yu Ke always felt the rooster crowing sound in her head, and shook her head to try to get rid of the auditory hallucination.
"woke up……"
I have never been so awake before.
As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Xiuming suddenly leaned over and pressed towards her, and the distance between them quickly closed.
She stared at him blankly, his face reflected in her clear eyes.
The handsome face so close to him had a nonchalant look, yet the faint breath coming from him was overly hot.
Before she could react, Yu Ke felt her chest tighten.
She looked down subconsciously - the seat belt was fastened.
Yu Xiuming laughed softly: "Are you still so stupid even after waking up?"
Yu Ke: “…”
Thank you, the chicken crows in her head have completely disappeared.
She slapped his hand away, looked ahead and said righteously: "Let's go quickly, the mission is urgent."
However, the slight blush on her little face had no deterrent effect at all, and instead made people want to tease her even more.
Yu Xiuming refused to leave and stood still in front of her.
His thin lips curved up under his straight nose, revealing a leisurely smile, and his eyes stared at her.
Yu Ke felt embarrassed and annoyed when being stared at, so she raised her hands to push his shoulders, trying hard to pull him away.
But her tiny little kitten strength was not enough to push him.
By the end, he was so tired that he couldn't push anymore, but Yu Xiuming's big face was still standing there without moving.
Yu Ke: “…” Damn it!
Her face turned red, her eyes sparkled, and she clenched her fists.
Today I will prove that she also has a temper!
But before she could prove it, the update of the main quest jumped out first:
【Death toll of town residents 9/30】
They both paused at the same time.
The death toll just now was 4/30, how come five more died in the blink of an eye?
Yu Xiuming calmed down a bit and finally stood up and returned to his driver's seat.
He stopped joking and quickly started the car and drove towards the second crime scene.
The victims of the second murder were a family of three.
First, someone found a female corpse in a well. After the body was pulled out and identified, someone went to her house, only to find that her husband and children were also dead.
My husband was poisoned to death and my child was strangled to death.
All signs indicate that the drowned woman killed her husband and child with her own hands.
No one could figure out why she did this.
According to neighbors, the woman's family lives a happy life. The couple occasionally have disputes, but they are just trivial matters.
Even if she had long been dissatisfied with her husband to the point of wanting to kill him, what about the children?
She loves her child very much, whom she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy. He is now just over one year old.
Yu Ke lowered her eyes and looked at the wrinkled and pale female corpse on the ground, which was covered with dark red pustules...
Her long, curled eyelashes trembled like butterfly wings, and her delicate little face was pale, making her look more fragile.
Help... The stench of this corpse is far worse than any corpse she has ever seen before...
For the first time, she believed that people could be knocked unconscious by the smell.
Yu Ke turned around and ran away, but the stench of the corpse seemed to still linger around her nose, not dissipating for a long time.
Before she could figure out how to heal herself, the main quest was updated:
【Death toll of town residents 10/30】
Yu Ke:! ?
The speed of death really shocked her.
If people continue to die at this rate, it will only take three days for the players in this dungeon to be reunited with their grandmothers.
Yu Ke went to Yu Xiuming to discuss the matter with a bitter face.
She didn't want to see her grandmother so soon.
Yu Xiuming also received detailed information and found out who the increased death toll was.
The third murder involved a family of five. The teenager Li Changjin used an axe to hack his father, mother, and younger brother and sister to death.
They also chopped off their heads as sacrifices and held an extremely cruel sacrificial ceremony at home.
His crazy noises were so loud that his neighbors came to complain. As a result, they witnessed a scene that shattered their worldviews and called the police immediately, thus contributing to the fight against feudal superstition.
The police have now rushed to the scene and restrained the teenager to prevent him from committing another crime.
As for the newly added death, it was Chen Tian, the murderer of the first murder case.
He died suddenly in the hospital. His death was extremely tragic, with blood gushing out of his mouth.
Li Changjin, the only criminal still alive, is very precious. We must stay and see if we can find any clues from him.
Yu Ke followed Yu Xiuming and rushed to see Li Changjin without stopping.
But Li Changjin had gone mad, and he could only repeat over and over again: "Kill them... Kill them all..."
No matter what you ask him, he has no other response.
The only common point that can be seen at the moment is that the three murderers are covered with red pustules.
This is the strange disease mentioned in the background introduction of the copy.
People who are sick will turn into murderers and kill their own family members without sparing a single one.
Yu Xiuming notified his subordinates to immediately find out who else in the town had abscesses.
And have someone spread the news to all residents of the town so that they know the seriousness of the matter and monitor and report on each other.
Otherwise, the next unlucky person to be hit might be you.
Three consecutive tragedies of family murders have caused panic among the residents of the town.
We learned from the police that there might be an unknown infectious disease. The sick people would become bloodthirsty and crazy, and their characteristic feature would be the growth of red pustules on their bodies.
These people are very dangerous and need to be found and isolated as soon as possible.
For the sake of their own personal safety, everyone in the town took off their clothes and checked themselves, and they actually found several people with abscesses.
There are still some who refuse to be inspected. In that case, we would rather catch the wrong ones than let them go. We will arrest them all and strip them naked.
While identifying potential dangers, a rumor began to spread in the town.
