Old Man Li frowned tightly and said in my ear: "This corpse is a bit strange. It was eaten by something."
"I'm not blind." I rolled my eyes at him and said, "Could it be done by a monster?"
"Tch, do you really think monsters like to eat corpses?" Old Man Li said, "You have read too many novels. Monsters generally don't eat people. Monsters are all intelligent. Cannibalism is up to them.
You will also feel nauseous. Only some monsters who need to eat people to practice can eat people, but even if they eat people, they will not eat dead people, just like people don't like to eat dead pork."
"Hey, we are advanced creatures, why do you compare us with pigs?" I cursed.
"It's almost the same anyway." After saying this, Old Man Li put his hand into the corpse's belly, stirred it up, smeared some blood on his hand, then put it up to his nose and smelled it carefully.
He frowned while smelling it, then put his hand next to my nose and said, "Smell it."
I went up to smell it, and there was only a strong smell of blood and no other smell.
"I can't smell anything." I shook my head.
When Old Man Li heard this, he grinned: "I didn't smell anything, so this must not have been done by a monster. Maybe some wild beast broke in and accidentally ate it. Let's go home and sleep right."
Carrying a corpse will make me lose my appetite for dinner later in the evening."
I wish I could beat up the old superstitious guy. He can't smell anything, so why should he ask me to sniff a piece of wool?
Suddenly, the chubby Chen Dong received a call and hurried to the door, then led a dozen policemen to our side.
Director Luo was walking at the front. Director Luo saw me inspecting the body and turned to Chen Dong and said: "How is the protection of the scene? Let me declare first that this matter is not allowed to be leaked at all, otherwise we will be arrested for leaking secrets."
"Everyone who has seen this scene will follow me to the police station and lie down."
Although it was very cold inside the morgue, Chen Dong still wiped the sweat from his forehead with his right hand and said repeatedly: "Of course, I understand the stakes."
This Chen Dong is probably the person who is most afraid of the incident being exposed. The crematorium is dressed in a weird way outside. If this incident is exposed, the business of the crematorium will be affected to some extent. Chen Dong naturally does not want to see that.
Such a scene.
After giving the instructions, Director Luo walked up to me and asked me, "Xiao Feng, how are you?"
"I didn't see anything." I shook my head: "If it was made by monsters, ghosts, or zombies, there would definitely be a smell left on the corpse, but there is no smell at all on it."
Suddenly, Old Man Li said loudly: "Report to the director, I suspect it was done by a wild animal."
"That's nonsense." Director Luo glared at Old Man Li and cursed, "Have you ever seen a wild beast open the freezer and pull out the corpse to eat?"
"I haven't seen it before, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist." Old Man Li shook his head and said.
My heart moved and I said to Director Luo: "Director Luo, this old man Li is an expert. Since he said it was made by wild beasts, it must be made by wild beasts."
Upon hearing this, Director Luo opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he just sighed and nodded.
After I finished speaking, I secretly glanced at the expressions of Chen Dong and forensic doctor Lin Chen. There was no change in their expressions.
I also understand why Old Man Li was yelling so stupidly before. Although Old Man Li is usually very nervous, he will never talk nonsense without basis on this kind of matter.
"Come on, little madman, let's go back to sleep. We came here to see the corpse so early in the morning. It's true, I haven't had breakfast yet." Old Man Li patted me on the shoulder, walked in front and left.
I said hello to Director Luo and then left behind Old Man Li.
As soon as Old Man Li and I walked out of the crematorium, Old Man Li looked at me with a smile and said, "The response is pretty quick.
"Do you suspect that Chen Dong and Lin Chen did this?" I looked at Old Man Li and asked.
Old Man Li shook his head: "It may not be the two of them, but the person who did this must be the staff of the crematorium. The wound on the corpse has a weird corpse smell, which is very unpleasant."
"The stench of corpses? Why didn't I smell it? And it was only two days since he died. There is no reason why there would be stench of corpses so soon." I asked.
Old Man Li took out a cigarette from my bag, lit it and took a puff before saying: "Are you stupid? When did I say that the smell of corpses comes from this corpse? It seems that we are celebrating the anniversary of the corpse.
.”
"Anniversary of the Corpse?" When I heard this, my hand that was about to light a cigarette shook and I almost dropped the cigarette in my hand to the ground.
You may feel unfamiliar with the term "Corpse Year Celebration", because it has never appeared in film and television works. It only appears in some notes of Mr. Yin Yang or Maoshan Taoist priests. The Corpse Year Celebration first appeared in the Southern Song Dynasty, when
Emperor Gaozong and Zhao Gou passed by a yizhuang on a trip and encountered a strange thing.
Gaozong Zhao Gou was a complete fool and was addicted to women. When he was passing by Yizhuang, according to the rules, the emperor should not stay in such a gloomy place. As a result, Zhao Gou saw a pole at the gate of Yizhuang.
The beautiful woman invited her and entered with her guards.
As soon as he entered, he saw five people in rags eating human corpses inside, and the beautiful woman who invited him in before turned into an ugly corpse monster. The guards fought to the death to bring Zhao Gou out.
Later, it was considered embarrassing, so this kind of thing was not recorded, and was only recorded in some unofficial histories. This was the first time in history that a corpse anniversary celebration occurred.
The Corpse Anniversary does not refer to corpse monsters, but to those half-human and half-corpse.
Although the common half-humans and half-corpses are very weak, just like the ones I encountered in the Japanese research institute, the half-humans and half-corpses are as powerful as other ordinary zombie monsters, or even more powerful.
There needs to be a transition in between. Ordinary half-humans and half-corpses are just like ordinary people. They need to eat one human corpse a year to maintain their human appearance. The Corpse Year is the day when these ordinary half-humans and half-corpses transform.
.
There are seven days in total to celebrate the Year of the Corpse. During these seven days, as long as the half-human and half-corpse eats seven human corpses in a row, it will turn into a corpse demon.
What is the scariest thing about this half-human, half-corpse? It is that he possesses human intelligence, but what is his weakest point? It is that they do not have any corpse energy in them, and even their strength is the same as that of ordinary people.
But as long as you cross the corpse anniversary, you are like a carp jumping over the dragon's gate. You have corpse energy that is not weaker than that of zombie monsters, and you have wisdom. This kind of monster is only weaker than zombies, and can be compared with the five-element zombies you encountered before.
