Judging from the current situation, Liu Xing feels that he can only choose to believe in Dior now, even if he feels that Dior is more likely to cheat him.
Therefore, Liu Xing nodded and said: "Okay, now I have a question to ask you, and that is the ghoul statue you are holding in the photo Tener took for you.
Where did you go?"
Dio sighed and said seriously: "I knew you would ask this question, Officer Chris, because that ghoul statue was the culprit of all this. Tener left directly after taking the photo for us."
, and then Locke wanted to buy the ghoul statue in my hand. After all, the ghoul statue was quite cool in the eyes of children, but I rejected Locke at the time because I also liked the ghoul statue.
It’s a ghost statue. As a result, ever since I put that ghoul statue in my room, I’ve been having nightmares every day, and the content of the nightmares is naturally related to that ghoul statue.”
"So, I was going to throw away the ghoul statue. After all, who can withstand nightmares every day, but at that time Locke and Tim happened to come to play with me and saw that I was going to throw away the ghoul statue.
So Locke once again asked me if I wanted to sell him the ghoul statue, and I naturally told Locke all my experiences in the past few days. As a result, Locke, who did not believe in evil, still wanted the ghoul statue, so
I finally gave the ghoul statue to Locke."
"After a week passed, I asked Locke how he was doing every day. Although Locke seemed a little depressed in the first two days, he returned to normal afterwards, and Locke also told me that he had surrendered to the ghoul who was living in the house.
The devil in the statue, but later I learned that Locke was also tortured by nightmares at the time, but in order to save his face, Locke simply threw the ghoul statue into the storage room. If Tim and I were to go
If we play in his house, he will take out the ghoul statue."
"More than ten years have passed like this. Because Locke was going to develop elsewhere, he suddenly thought of the ghoul statue while packing his luggage, so Locke took the ghoul statue with him to his new home. The most important thing is
It was Locke who also placed the ghoul statue on the bedside, wanting to try the feeling of having a nightmare again. The result was of course one can imagine. After having nightmares for a few days, Locke found that even if he put the ghoul statue
If you throw it in the trash can, the ghoul statue will appear in your living room the next day, and if Locke doesn't put the ghoul statue in his room, Locke will never fall asleep anyway."
"In the end, Locke found that his body became more and more strange. To put it simply, Locke found that he looked more and more like the ghoul statue, and Locke also began to have the desire to eat people. This made Locke, who was frightened, more and more like a ghoul statue.
He immediately went to see a friend of his, an occultist who was still studying for a PhD at Miskatonic University, and then discovered that he was cursed by the ghoul statue."
"Next, Locke's friends tried to help Locke lift the curse. Initially, Locke's ghoul curse was effectively suppressed, but halfway through, Locke's friends and his mentor were destroying a pyramid in South America.
An accident occurred while exploring, so Locke's friend has been missing ever since. The ghoul curse that had been suppressed on Locke burst out instantly, and Locke completely turned into a ghoul, but most of the time Locke can still
Maintaining human form."
"In the few years when he first became a ghoul, although Locke had to eat human flesh to relieve his insatiable hunger, at that time Locke only had to eat the corpses of dead people.
But after a few years, Locke had to eat a few living human hearts every year to maintain his human form and will as a human being. From then on, Locke became the Blood Handprint Killer."
"As for the ghoul statue, I don't know when it disappeared after Locke started eating the hearts of living people. Because Locke had moved to other places at that time, the ghoul statue was not taken with him, so when Locke thought of this
By the time the incident happened, the ghoul statue had disappeared. As for whether the ghoul statue was stolen or escaped on its own, it is unknown."
After listening to what Dior said, Liu Xing couldn't help but suspect that Dior had transferred his own experience to Locke's head, but it seemed that the ghoul statue was not sold by Dior to the missing family of five.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing continued to ask: "I see, so do you know how many more ghoul murders have occurred in London recently?"
"What? Isn't Locke still in France?" Dio said with a frown.
Seeing Dior's reaction, Liu Xing knew that Dior most likely didn't know that the ghoul statue was now in the hands of that family of five.
Of course, it is not ruled out that Dior became obsessed with acting in these years when he had nothing to do, and he has the ability to compete for Oscar statuettes.
Liu Xing thought for a while and decided to tell Dior about the situation of the family of five.
After Dio was silent for a moment, he said: "I didn't expect that ghoul statue to find its host again. It seems that your London police will be very busy again. After all, these are five ghouls. Although they are now
They may not have completely turned into ghouls, but their strength cannot be underestimated."
Liu Xing nodded and said seriously: "So, Mr. Dior, do you know what the weaknesses of this ghoul are? It is definitely unrealistic to negotiate with those ghouls now, so our London police can only choose to kill them.
However, although I have never fought with ghouls, I have heard that these ghouls are very powerful in combat, and pistols can hardly cause effective damage to them. So I hope Mr. Dior can provide some information on the weaknesses of these ghouls.
Help us London police neutralize the threat."
Dio shrugged and said with a smile: "It seems that Officer Chris, you want me to hand over my name, but this is what I should do, but I have to make it clear in advance that the so-called corpses I told you
The weaknesses of ghosts have not been verified, because these are just the experiences I have accumulated in dealing with ghouls for so many years. After all, you the police should be able to guess that the Flower Cemetery is indeed the territory of the Ghoul Cult.
Moreover, there are several ghouls living deep in the Flower Cemetery. I have met all of those ghouls at least once, and some of them have even become my friends."
"First of all, the skin of a ghoul is very tough, and it is also covered with a layer of mucus that has a buffering and lubricating effect. Therefore, the police pistol used by the police has almost no effect on the ghoul, because the police pistol has
The bullets are not very powerful to begin with. Either they cannot penetrate the ghoul's skin, or they are simply deflected by the mucus on the ghoul's skin. In short, your police need to use more powerful guns to deal with the ghoul."
"And because the ghouls are protected by that layer of mucus, you can't expect to use a flamethrower to deal with the ghouls, because it is basically impossible to cause harm to the ghouls; in addition, although
Ghouls are more accustomed to using their sharp claws to deal with enemies, but ghouls can also use various magics to deal with enemies, and ghouls using magic are much more difficult to deal with than ghouls using claws, so in order
To be on the safe side, I personally suggest that when dealing with ghouls, you, the police, first show your enemy's weakness and lure the ghouls into engaging in close combat with you."
"As for the other weaknesses of ghouls, they are basically not much different from us humans. After all, the physical fitness of ghouls is just a little stronger than humans, so your police only need to use their firepower advantage to suppress the ghouls.
It was an easy victory, but under normal circumstances, ghouls will operate in dark and damp places, so your police may not have the opportunity to easily suppress the ghouls with firepower. Therefore, when you police are chasing the ghouls,
Better bring more grenades."
Liu Xing nodded. Although what Dior said had almost no reference value to him, he still had to pretend to be the same.
But what concerned Liu Xing the most was that Dior had actually seen other ghouls in the Flower Cemetery.
Dior seemed to see Liu Xing's doubts, so he smiled and said: "To be honest, although ghouls are on the opposite side of us humans, there are some ghouls who have a pretty good attitude towards humans, especially
They are those ghouls who were originally human, as well as some human-ghoul hybrids.”
"Hybrid? Are there no reproductive isolation between ghouls and humans?" Liu Xing said pretending to be surprised.
Dio nodded and said: "Yes, there is indeed no reproductive isolation between humans and ghouls, so half of the ghouls in the Flower Cemetery are hybrids of humans and ghouls. After they are born,
He has been living as a human being for decades, and he is no different from a normal person."
Liu Xing nodded, frowning.
If it weren't for Dior's reminder, Liu Xing would have almost forgotten the possibility that Dior is actually a ghoul hybrid!
If Dio is really a ghoul hybrid, then many things can be explained better.
After pretending to think for a moment, Liu Xing said to Dior: "So, Mr. Dior, what do you want to cooperate with me, or with our London police?"
When Dior heard what Liu Xing said, he immediately smiled and said: "I knew Officer Chris that you would choose to cooperate with me. Although I really want to cooperate with you London police now, because I don't have anything substantial right now."
I have to provide evidence to prove that I am not the bloody fingerprint killer, so now I can only choose to cooperate with you personally, Officer Chris, because again, we are the same kind of people."
Liu Xing nodded, sighed and said, "Mr. Dior, are you talking about that dream? In the dream, I saw you being tied to a big pillar by a group of fish-men-like creatures."
Dio took out a business card from his pocket and said seriously: "This is the contact information of the dream meeting. Officer Chris, after listening to what I say next, you can choose whether to join this dream meeting; first of all
Our current dreams are connected. To be precise, we share the same dream with tens of thousands of other people. This is because we are all affected by an old ruler and are pulled into the same dream.
And the reason why this Old One does this is because he wants us to provide him with the power of faith."
"Most of the humans who were pulled into the dream by the Old One Dominator were unable to get out of the fog within the stipulated time, so these people were brainwashed to become the most loyal believers of the Old One Dominator, and like you
Humans like me who have been able to enter the ruins are mentally powerful beings, so the old ruler will find opportunities to transform us into mythical creatures that believe in it - deep divers, also known as Knives.
Officer Reese, those fish-men you talk about."
"However, there are exceptions to everything. Some humans may be the so-called children of destiny. Even the old ruler cannot transform them into deep divers, so the old ruler will arrange for those deep divers to go
Capture these people and tie them to the pillar called the Sacrifice Pillar to sacrifice to the Old One. I am one of them, and I can be sure that you are also the same person as me.
Because you can move freely in dreams just like me before, instead of being like a puppet who can only watch but cannot control your body."
I have to say that Dior’s words were an eye-opener for Liu Xing.
However, in Liu Xing's view, Dio is nothing more than a bloody ghoul. It is impossible for him to understand the mechanism of Cthulhu's dream, so Liu Xing believes that what Dio said is just a family opinion.
"By the way, if we are tied to the sacred pillar and sacrificed to the old ruler, then in the real world we will become vegetative people who can never wake up, and this dream will be like
A mutual aid club where people like us gather together to ensure that we are not so isolated and helpless in our dreams, allowing ourselves to be preyed upon."
Liu Xing took the business card from Dior and found that there was only a phone number on the card.
It seems that this dream meeting is quite mysterious.
"Okay, I've said everything that needs to be said. Now it's time for me to leave. I hope that Officer Chris can be a member of our dream meeting. Let's talk in detail then." Dio stood up and said.
Liu Xing nodded and watched Dior walk out of the room.
Liu Xing sighed and stood in front of the window to check the situation in the parking lot downstairs.
A few minutes later, Dior got into a black car and left.
