474. Chapter 470 New Chapter 0464 The Three Evils of Xiangxi
Li Mengnan clicked on the email. Although his face was calm, there was gradually a hint of playfulness in his eyes.
Sure enough, as Wei Mao said, this Tan Zhuanghan is really interesting.
"How is it? Did you see it? I was right!" Wei Mao said quite proudly.
"Are you talking about Tan Zhuanghan's birthplace and ethnicity?" Li Mengnan closed the mail, took down the cigarette case from the shelf where the bath towels were placed, took out a cigarette, lit it, held it in his mouth, and murmured to himself: "Xiangxi, Miao...
…”
Xiangxi, nothing.
Miao people, it’s nothing.
But when these two words are put together, it is definitely not that simple.
Probably stimulated by Li Mengnan's puff of smoke, Wei Mao also lit a cigarette on the other side of the phone, raised his black hairy thighs to the edge of the bathtub, and said carelessly: "There are three evils in western Hunan - chasing corpses,
Poison, Luohua Cave Girl. Luohua Cave Girl is definitely impossible. Do you think this Tan Zhuanghan is one of the corpse exorcists or poison witches?"
"No need to guess, he's a corpse chaser." Li Mengnan said casually.
"Oh? How can you be so sure?" Wei Mao was just guessing, but he didn't expect Li Mengnan to insist that the other party was the corpse exorcist.
"Although they are called corpse chasers, corpse chasers are just a side job they use to generate income, and their true major is corpse refining."
When Li Mengnan was a child, he followed the old man to travel around the world for several years. He once met a Xiangxi corpse chaser and even saw the zombies he refined, so he still had some understanding of the corpse chaser profession.
"Because they often deal with corpses, they all carry a kind of death aura... Of course, they have used secret methods to deal with this death aura. Even monks from other lineages generally cannot detect it. At most, they can only feel it.
Their temperaments are somewhat gloomy, and only their colleagues within the corpse exorcists can determine each other's identity at a glance."
Wei Mao was a little stunned. Even though he held a position as a researcher at the HX Research Institute, he could access all kinds of confidential information, but he could not see it at all in the experiential level.
"The corpse chaser... is really interesting." Wei Mao flicked the cigarette ash that was almost an inch long, and said with some curiosity: "So he should be bringing zombies with him."
Li Mengnan shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't be ridiculous. How can you keep something as unscientific as a zombie with you at all times? What if it causes a widespread panic?"
Wei Mao frowned and said in surprise: "Isn't it said that corpse chasers all 'never leave the body without leaving the person, and the person will never leave the corpse'?"
He remembered seeing similar records in the database.
"Refining the corpse is equivalent to another clone of the corpse exorcist. Most of the abilities of the corpse exorcist are in their corpse refining. Under normal circumstances, they will not leave their corpse refining to act alone. After all, it is too dangerous...
But there is one exception."
"What's going on?" Wei Mao asked more and more curiously.
"Of course their corpse refining was destroyed." Li Mengnan gave Wei Mao a look like he was looking at an idiot. Sure enough, this guy's brain doesn't know how to make sharp turns.
"Well, what you said makes sense, but I am speechless." Wei Mao slapped his forehead in annoyance, but with his character, he would not dwell on this matter for too long, and said: "
Then tell me, why did the corpse exterminators from western Hunan appear here? Could the collective coma incident at Hanlin Yigao be related to this Tan Zhuanghan?"
"Based on my understanding of corpse chasers, this possibility is very slim." Li Mengnan thought for a moment and explained: "For example, if Qimen inheritance is regarded as a game's professional system, corpse chasers are like
Summoners with babies appear to be adding mental points, but they actually use physical attacks. They are better at destroying enemies on the physical level, but attacks on the spiritual level are a bit too difficult for them."
"Oh! I understand if you say that."
It has to be said that Wei Mao just likes to talk to people like Li Mengnan, who are simple and easy to understand. Unlike those old men at the headquarters who always use a bunch of proper nouns or code words, and completely ignore people like him who were promoted from the grassroots level.
Non-academic receptivity.
Li Mengnan continued: "Moreover, the essence of corpse refining is to avoid overuse. If it is not accidentally damaged during the process, one corpse can last a lifetime for the corpse exorcist. It is impossible for anyone to explode the sea of zombies. It is like driving away a bunch of "Resident Evil"
"Like the zombies in ", it has no actual combat value."
Wei Mao nodded, blew out a smoke ring, and said: "It seems that this Tan Zhuanghan is just a normal international student who comes here to study. Although his status is a bit special, it should have nothing to do with this case... Hey, I saw him before
information, I thought I found a key clue."
After chatting casually for a few more words, the two ended the video call.
Li Mengnan walked out of the bathroom wearing a white bath towel. The hotel room seemed inexplicably deserted and empty in his eyes.
He suddenly thought of a very serious problem - how can any student not go home and stay in a hotel all day long?
Now that he has just arrived, not many people are paying attention to him yet. After a while, when the social circle opens up, there is no guarantee that someone will ask to visit his home.
When we find out that he is actually staying in a hotel, wouldn’t everything be revealed?
What he said before about finding a house was originally just one step in his plan to help Li Yunmei. Unexpectedly, now it has become a prophecy. It is impossible not to prepare a temporary "home".
…
The next day, on the same subway ride, Li Mengnan once again met the "righteous man" Wu Jiechao.
"Hey, Brother Li, we meet again. We are really destined!" Wu Jiechao made a gesture similar to the salute of an American soldier and took the initiative to say hello to Li Mengnan.
"Don't use the word fate casually, we are all Chinese, you know."
Li Mengnan nodded to him as a greeting, and then quickly scanned the car.
Wu Jiechao seemed to have guessed what Li Mengnan was looking for. He shook his head and regretted: "I didn't see Li Yunmei when I was waiting for the bus on the platform just now. Maybe she was not on this train."
Li Mengnan turned his head, looked at him with interest, and said with a smile: "I realize that you know so many people. You should not choose to be an artist, but a reporter."
"This is called preparing for a rainy day." Wu Jiechao smiled indifferently to Li Mengnan's ridicule, "Being an artist also requires connections. Don't look at the many students of Hanlin Art High School, all of whom are rushing to be stars. In fact,
There are only three or two kittens in each class who can truly become professional artists.
Whether a male artist can be popular depends on many factors, while whether a female artist can be popular depends at least more than half on looks.
Lin Meina and Li Yunmei are the two most beautiful girls in the first grade of high school. If there are no accidents, it is basically a certainty that they will be chosen as contract artists by the entertainment company. It is better to build a good relationship now than to rush to the next moment, maybe one of them will become famous.
Now, can you give me a hand for the sake of my former classmate?"
