It's a pity that I have been thinking about it in front of the table for a long time, and my head hurts, but I still can't think of a reason. Before the incident, almost no one could figure out the two Gu insects disguised as Li Shengli and Officer Mu.
To distinguish their true identities, even Officer Hu, who had a close relationship with Officer Mu, did not know the authenticity of Officer Mu at all at that time.
The ability of those shape-shifting Gu insects is just like cheating. Not only can they imitate human appearance, but after devouring human brains, they can even imitate personality and memory. This ability is simply impossible.
Using science to explain it, we still don’t know what method the ancient Dian Kingdom used thousands of years ago to create such terrifying creatures?
I tried my best to think of it, but I couldn't figure it out. In the end, I could only slump in my seat. After a while, I took a deep breath and wanted to take a drink of water and rest for a while.
But at this moment, my eyes happened to pass by the window, but I couldn't move any further. I saw Chen Meiyang and Feng Chun, who were still lying on the ground sleeping soundly, disappeared in front of my eyes at this moment.
, disappeared without a trace!
Where are people? Where are they?
I was stunned for a while, and when I came to my senses, I immediately rushed out of the room and ran to the place where they originally slept. Next to the stove where the fire was burning, the blanket I had previously covered the two of them was placed.
On one side, the blanket was still a little warm, as if the two of them had left not long ago.
Will they go back to their rooms to sleep?
Regarding the situation in front of me, this explanation was the first thing that came to my mind. However, after I walked around the house of the two people, I did not see them.
This fact made my heart sink immediately. It was obvious that something was wrong. There was no way that two living people could disappear out of thin air. A third party must have appeared and taken them away. It’s just that
At this moment, who could take the two of them away without me noticing at all?
Could it be a shape-shifting Gu insect? But if it is those monsters, where did they come from? Will the one attacking this time be a certain shape-changing Gu insect hiding near us, or is it something we have always suspected before, hiding and lurking?
Among the four of us, that shape-shifting Gu insect that killed Officer Hu?
They will take action at this time, probably because they know that our rescue is coming soon, so they can't bear to take action, right?
Just as I was thinking about it, I had returned to the place where Chen Meiyang and the others slept before, but suddenly I smelled a burnt smell. When I looked down, I realized that it was the pot we used to cook dumplings. The dumpling soup inside had been completely burned.
A burning smell was coming out from the bottom of the pot.
Seeing this, I quickly reached out to move the pot away from the fire, but unexpectedly, the entire iron pot was completely scorched by the flames. As soon as my hand touched the pot, it was suddenly burned.
My hand suddenly hurt, and I subconsciously threw the iron pot to the side. When I came to my senses, I saw that the iron pot had rolled on the ground. Fortunately, all the dumplings in the pot were gone during dinner.
It was all eaten, so nothing was spilled.
But at this moment, my eyes fell on the empty iron pot, and something seemed to be looming in my mind.
Iron pot?
Empty wok?
The flaw of the shape-shifting Gu insect...?
Got it!
A thought suddenly popped up in my mind, that is, what has been bothering me before, how to tell whether a person is a shape-shifting Gu insect or a human, seems to have been thought of by me!
I never thought that an empty iron pot would suddenly enlighten me and remind me of a key point that I had ignored before.
The key is that in my memory, whether it was Li Shengli or Officer Mu, before they revealed their true identities, I actually discovered a strange thing in common between them.
And if I remember correctly, the common point is that both Li Shengli and Officer Mu had an astonishing appetite that was different from ordinary people before their identities were revealed.
I began to carefully recall the details of every meal Li Shengli and Officer Mu had after arriving at the archaeological base.
The first is Li Shengli. I remember that after he was discovered by us, in the first meal we all had together, he showed a completely different appetite from ordinary people. At that time, I thought it was because they had not eaten for a long time.
This happened because he was too hungry, but thinking back carefully, at that time, Chen Meiyang and Feng Chun, who were younger than Li Shengli, had not eaten as much as Li Shengli for the whole day, but their appetites were not as good as Li Shengli's.
Then there is Officer Mu. If Li Shengli’s situation can be explained by the fact that he really has a better appetite than ordinary people, then Officer Mu’s situation will be even more convincing.
I clearly remember that during the dinner after arriving at the archaeological base, the amount of food that Officer Mu ate was not a lot, which was the amount of food for ordinary people. This was also the case for several subsequent meals. However, when Officer Mu was injured,
After that, his appetite suddenly became surprisingly good. Especially after Lin Qianyi bandaged "Officer Mu", Officer Mu just woke up from the coma and ate several large bowls of hot soup in a row.
At that time, everyone's attention was attracted by Officer Mu's injuries, but they never thought about how a man with a knife wound could have such a good appetite just after waking up? But now all this has happened
The explanation is that the seriously injured man we found at that time was actually not Officer Wood at all, but a shape-shifting Gu insect that transformed into Officer Wood.
Therefore, whether it is Li Shengli or Officer Mu after being replaced by the Gu insect, the biggest thing they have in common is their unusual appetite. If you think about it more carefully, maybe this is because of the transformation of the Gu insect.
After reaching the adult form, they need to consume a lot of energy, which is why they show such hunger for food.
If my guess is correct, then it will be obvious who the shape-shifting Gu insect is among the remaining people.
Leaving aside the dead Officer Hu, only one of the four people who survived had a huge increase in appetite recently. Although the situation at that time can be explained by everyone's good mood and appetite, what that person ate during dinner
, which is really too much.
That's right, the person who ate nearly sixty dumplings during dinner was the shape-shifting Gu worm!
Thinking of this, I couldn't help blurting out the man's name: "Feng Chun! It turns out to be him!"
As soon as I finished speaking, a voice suddenly sounded in my ears from behind: "Do you finally know?"
The sudden voice from behind made me startled. I didn't expect that when I was concentrating on thinking, someone had already walked behind me, but I didn't notice it at all.
I hurriedly wanted to turn around, but unexpectedly it was already a step too late. Just when I had turned halfway and before I could see who was standing behind me, a gust of wind sounded from behind me.
Bang! Something heavy hit me on the back of my head.
The force of that blow was extremely violent, and it hit me right on the back of my head. I suddenly felt like the sky was filled with stars. My body shook a little, my vision went dark, and I fell sideways to the ground.
However, I still managed to raise my head, wanting to see who was attacking me from behind.
Amid the bursts of Venus, a familiar figure appeared in front of me. Feng Chun, who had always given the impression of being honest and honest, was now standing in front of me with a ferocious look on his face. He held a shovel in his hand.
There was still blood dripping from the shovel.
"Feng Chun...you really..."
Before I finished speaking, Feng Chun had already raised the shovel again, swung it in an arc like a golf ball, and hit me hard in the face.
My head tilted back involuntarily, and hit the ground with a bang. This time, I only felt a sudden blackness in front of my eyes, and I no longer knew what was going on.
