Thanks to Brother Xiaoxiaoshutong for the 10,000-coin reward. Your support has always been my motivation.
"Are you saying that the person who poisoned Xiaoyi might have been a black man from Haiti?" Bian Lao said.
Han Kongque said: "This is the most likely. Since the establishment of the Fudu Sect, there have been precedents of people being hired to seek money and kill people."
"If that's the case, can we find the poisoned wizard by searching for black people?" Liu Xu asked curiously.
Han Kongque said: "This is not easy. In our country, especially in the developed cities in the south, many black people have immigrated in recent years, at least hundreds of thousands. If you want to find a few of them,
It’s not easy, so we can only fish.”
"I really didn't expect that black people have such abilities." Shengshou Zhang really didn't expect that black people, who have always been associated with backwardness, actually have such methods. Such methods are no different from some ancient warlocks in China.
Han Kongque said: "Actually, it's not as scary as you think, and there aren't many strange things. When you first come into contact with it, it seems quite mysterious and scary, but as long as you understand what a resurrected corpse is, there's nothing scary about it.
The so-called resurrected corpse refers to a kind of living dead between the state of life and death. It is very similar to the legendary living zombie. Haitians are very afraid of it and even refer to it as their main god, the snake god Zuobi.
Resurrected corpse.
Anthropologist Metro described the resurrected corpse in his monograph "Voodoo in Haiti": 'He can move, he can eat, he can obey the instructions of the person who speaks to him, and he can even speak, but
But he has no memory and no idea of his surroundings.'
Although many foreigners have long regarded these legends as interesting myths or jokes and included them in their treatises, travel notes, novels and scripts, Haitians have always taken them very seriously.
Many people who have received modern Western education have no doubts about the existence of resurrected corpses. In order to avoid becoming a resurrected corpse, many Haitians cut the throat of the corpse or nail a nail in the heart before burying their relatives.
A big nail, this is very similar to the prevention of becoming a zombie after death in our country.
In the past decade or two, American scholars have gradually begun to pay attention to the legend of the resurrected corpse while studying the secret recipes for poisons and narcotics circulated by indigenous people in the tropical jungles of Central and South America.
Among them, Davis, a young ethnobotanical expert in the Department of Biology at Harvard University, first wrote an article in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology, pointing out that the so-called reanimated corpses may indeed be real, and speculated that the local indigenous wizards must be
They use a certain powerful anesthetic they have to create the so-called resurrected corpse."
Han Kongque continued: "With the development of science and technology, some things that were originally considered superstitious gradually received scientific explanations. Only then did we suddenly realize that the ancients knew so many things earlier than us.
Just like Voodooism, people thought it was ignorant at first, but now? Western countries have done a lot of research on it, and Voodooism has developed rapidly in modern times. The development of Voodooism combines Africa, the West Indies, and India.
It combines the characteristics of primitive religion with the addition of Catholic rituals and sacraments.
From Africa to Haiti and then to the United States, during this process of spread, the word Voodoo also had the alias hoodoo. It is an alias, but it cannot be equated. The word hoodoo encompasses the locality or differences of each place.
In addition, in its connotation, the word Hoodoo focuses on the use of spells, such as talismans, charms, amulets and dolls. In Haiti, the voodoo belief is one of the two official beliefs because of the relationship between being colonized by France. The other official The faith is Catholicism, a Haitian might say that 80% of Haitians believe in Catholicism and 100% of Haitians follow the Voodoo faith.”
Voodoo originated in West Africa. The founder was Mary Lavieux, known as the 'Queen of Voodoo'. She was an indigenous Creole resident of Louisiana. Her deeds are full of mystery in Louisiana. Always associated with paranormal phenomena.
Therefore, from the moment the Fudu religion was born, it has been inseparable from mystery. The key to the resurrecting potion lies in the dose. If the poisoning is really too deep, the wizard will not be able to resurrect the soul.
In addition to tetrodotoxin, some rejuvenation potions also contain toad toxin.
This toxin can affect the function of the heart and nervous system, and can cause people to have extremely strong hallucinations. In the hot climate of Haiti, most of the indigenous people walk barefoot and wear very thin clothing.
The caster obtained a poison from the wizard and smeared it on the victim's house and outside, as well as on the bed, chair and daily utensils. Then the poison gradually penetrated through the skin and into the body of the unlucky guy, slowing down his heartbeat and pulse rate. Weak, mistaken for death and buried in the grave.
Then, the wizard quietly dug him out of the grave and asked him to take a potion containing yam and datura. It is said that yam is an antidote that can wake people up from suspended animation, and datura It is a traditional anesthetic, which keeps the victim in a semi-conscious state of anesthesia, thus turning him into a resurrected corpse at the mercy of others.
Although it is difficult to count the exact number of such resurrected corpses in Haiti at the moment, it is estimated that there are definitely not only one or two isolated cases. Although the resurrected corpses without exception have dull eyes, expressionless, and listless, they can do even the most trivial tasks. The work required a lot of effort, but they were honest and obedient and were often bought as slave traders.
Most of the resurrected corpses will slowly wake up after a period of time, but it will be difficult for them to return to normal life after that, because their families have long forgotten these 'dead people', and people in society keep away from them.
In situations where it is difficult to return home and the situation is miserable, most of the resurrected corpses who wake up cannot escape the fate of silent death. The mystery of the resurrected corpses that was originally easy to solve becomes even more mysterious and unpredictable, even in Haiti. It is difficult to know the details of the indigenous people.
The mystery of the resurrected corpses of Haitian Voodoo has now been revealed, but some people are still continuing to study those weird poisons in depth, analyzing their ingredients and mechanisms, and how Haitian wizards mastered and used them. Regarding the resurrected corpses themselves Many issues also need to be studied in depth, especially the dosage of poison. Antidote, which is difficult for other people except wizards who use poison to master."
"Even if we know that these drugs have been used, we can't remove them." Shengshou Zhang sighed.
Han Kongque said: "So, let's go fishing! It's not too sure to take the initiative, but it will be easier to alert the snake."
Liu Xu said: "I am not a nationalist, but black people are indeed a very serious social problem in the first-tier cities in China. We welcome people from all over the world to settle in the country, and we are also happy to attract foreigners to settle in the country.
But in the face of foreigners, the subconscious mind of Chinese people that they are inferior is really terrible. Especially in the eyes of some officials, foreigners' affairs are major events. Incidents involving foreigners must be dealt with by Chinese people. Only then
Foreigners have been allowed to do things in the country more and more unscrupulously."
Bian Laodao: "I will handle this matter. Since we have a target, it will be easy to handle. In our country, we look for traitors to deal with such matters. I think black people are no exception. We don't understand them. They themselves will
You know, if no one comes forward to confess, we will expel them all."
Han Kongque said: "Let's fish first! We will issue a death certificate. You can bury Brother Chen as soon as possible! The sooner the better, so as not to have long nights and dreams."
Liu Xu said: "In this era, cremation is the norm. Isn't burial too obvious?"
"Do you think those people can't think of this? How many rich and powerful people are cremated now? Do you think the ashes after the cremation are yours?" Han Peacock broke Liu Xing's innocence.
Liu Xiu was speechless after hearing this.
Bian Lao said: "I'll communicate with my family and see what to do."
After a while, Mr. Bian came back and said: "Let's do what you want, Xiao Han. Our old man said that when this matter is over, please come and sit at home."
"Okay, I will definitely go." Han Kongque said.
After Chen Jiayi was sent away, Han Kongque sighed: "It's really hard to predict luck or misfortune."
"Don't be sad, just do whatever you need to do." Liu Xu said.
Han Kongque said: "I'm not in the mood anymore. I originally wanted to go on an adventure with Brother Chen. Now that I'm alone, there's no point in going. Let's wait until Brother Chen recovers and then go see the snake cave!"
Han Kongque followed Liu Xu back to her office listlessly, but Liu Xu's office didn't go anywhere.
The Chen Jiayi incident made Han Kongque wary. Now the enemies he encounters are getting more and more weird. If he is not careful, he may be attacked.
It didn't matter to him. If Liuxu got hit, it would be a big problem. With her current physical condition, it would definitely be a disaster if she got hit.
Perhaps seeing Han Kongque's worry, Liu Xu comforted him: "My scope of activities is limited, and you have arranged a large number of bodyguards around me, so you can rest assured."
Han Kongque sighed: "How can I rest assured? Chen Jiayi just beat Fu Mingliang, and there was only a few physical contacts like that? What about now? Aren't you lying down?"
Liu Xu said: "I will never come into contact with strangers."
"Patient!" Han Kongque was still worried that the personnel exchanges in the hospital were too complicated and almost impossible to guard against.
Seeing that Liuxu stopped talking, Han Kongque said: "It seems that I need to study the skills of detoxification and prevention, otherwise, I won't be able to sleep."
"Okay, you study carefully here, and I'll go eat." Liu Xu said with a smile.
Han Kongque followed Liu Xu and had a light meal in the hospital's canteen, then returned to Liu Xu's office. Liu Xu continued to read documents and organize medical records, while Han Kongque started to deal with some things out of boredom.
He first logged into his Little Penguin, opened his mailbox, and first read the work report sent by Li Xiaoyi. Li Xiaoyi did a good job in this regard, so he just browsed it casually.
