Chapter 8 Alien Corpse
No wonder Xie Xiaohao's parents went crazy.=Full=Book=Xiao=Shut=Net=
The pixels of the photos are very high and are very clear. In the huge living room, a twisted human figure is shocking.
Needless to ask, this person is Xie Xiaohao. His limbs and neck were all stretched to about four or five meters long, and they were knotted with the furniture in the room!
His left and right hand looked at least four meters long and twisted. His left hand was coiled and connected with an ornamental plant on the left, tied a knot. The right hand and a lamp protruding on the right wall were wrapped around and wrapped about three circles. The two legs were hanging on the ground and stretched to four or five meters long. The most terrifying thing was the head, the neck was stretched about two meters long and wrapped around the electric fan on the ceiling, but the neck part was wrapped around five circles, and the head was also twisted, looking like a twist, and couldn't even see what it looked like.
The next few photos are photos of the corpse taken from other angles. These photos can no longer be described as shocking. No wonder the police did not publish the photos of the corpse and the specific cause of death. No wonder the neighbor said that a large truck came to transport the corpse that day... This is definitely not something that humans can do! The human body is not flour, so how could it be lengthened so randomly, and the limbs and necks were constantly cracked? Moreover, there was no drop of blood on the scene, and there was no trace of the fight. Moreover, Xie Xiaohao's neighbors said that they did not hear any screams at night. Can normal people not make any screams when their limbs were stretched out?
Runan also pulled out the forensic report in the envelope and read it. He was surprised to find that the deceased's bones and muscle tissue had been lengthened accordingly! There was no abnormality in all the organs and tissues on the body, and everything in the body changed accordingly as the limbs were stretched. It seemed that Xie Xiaohao was born with this kind of body, and even the length of his clothes had changed...
Then... my own guess can be confirmed...
Runan quickly put the photo back into the envelope, and then said to Ren Jing: "It's better to burn it. If this photo is left, the consequences will be unimaginable."
His throat felt a little dry, no, it was abnormally dry.
What kind of thing is he facing? Just like the three claw marks that killed his parents, they are all existences that do not belong to this world...
Ou Xueyan, who was sitting in the back seat, shook like a sieve, and her head was always lowered and she dared not raise it. Thinking that when he heard Xia Peng scream before, he disappeared into the room, it was simply unimaginable!
"I was careless. I should have been looking after them all the time," Ren Jing seemed very upset at this moment: "It's rare to find you two, so you can make a complete prophecy... It seems that I have to wait for the fourth person to appear and then think about it. As for the fourth person..."
She winked backwards, and Runan was also very clear at this time that Ou Xueyan might be the fourth person.
"She won't be in trouble for the time being, right?"
"Well... your sister's premonition of the shortest distance to her death is..."
"Generally speaking, it will be sensed at least twenty-four hours ago, and there is no precedent for accurately measuring the premonition to an hour. This has been the case for seven years. My words are almost the same. It is impossible for me to sense the person who will die within less than twenty-four hours. If you think about this, Ou Xueyan is temporarily 'safe'."
"I, am I still safe?" Ou Xueyan suddenly relaxed when she heard this, but she still asked with a little palpitation: "Is your premonition really okay? For example, Xia Peng..."
"Actually, my sister has sensed that he will die today. Isn't it already past midnight? In other words, during the death date sensed by my sister, there is a threat of death every minute. Miss Ou, you must be mentally prepared. Maybe you will be the fourth person. If you want to survive... it's better to follow Miss Ren's instructions as much as possible. She knows more about this than me. As for the issue of premonition, I can't guarantee Miss Ren, but at least my sister's premonition will definitely come true for seven years... You don't need to doubt."
In fact, Ou Xueyan dared not doubt it. She had completely believed that there were indeed ghosts in this world. Now... the only support for these two people is these two people. She has regarded Runan and Ren Jing as Taoist priests of Maoshan, thinking that they have the magical power to drive away ghosts and evil spirits. But how could she know that these two people are actually ordinary people, but their physiques are slightly different from ordinary people.
Ren Jing drove back to her home. She planned to temporarily arrange for Ou Xueyan to live in her home, and find out some clues as much as possible before the fourth person's premonition arose. Ou Xueyan was already extremely tired at this moment. When she arrived at Ren Jing's house, she thought this was a safe place and she had a peaceful sleep.
"This is the benefit of having a large room, and it doesn't matter if you live in one more person."
After helping Ou Xueyan close the door of the room, she returned to the living room, looked at Runan, who was concentrating on thinking, leaned against the wall, and asked, "What are you thinking? I guess what... Are you full of doubts about me, my father's words, and the root of your destiny?"
Runan was sitting on the leather sofa in the living room at this time. Ren Jing’s living room was really luxuriously decorated. No matter which furniture was imported, there were many bonsai, sculptures, oil paintings, and an old phonograph. The handles of a coffee cup were made of gold.
"You really look like a rich lady...but don't you even have a servant at home?"
Ren Jing sat opposite him, her fingers standing pointlessly on the coffee table, and her eyes seemed to be melancholy, "I am the only one, and I don't even interact with my neighbors, because everyone feels like I am a weird person. The family members no longer care about me, and I take care of all my life."
"Economic? Have the family members given you some industry to live?"
"I don't care about those. My career is an illustrator, who helps with some novels or encyclopedias. It's a very meager job? But I'm not interested in financial management and investment in nature, so I feel relaxed without an industry. I'm just a person who looks glorious and actually suffers from hardships in life. My only property is this house, and furniture and so on are all bought by my grandfather. I'm not interested in luxury life, and I even think it's a waste of time. The focus of life is experience, not pleasure."
Runan didn't expect that she was good at talking and didn't know how to interface for a while.
"Let's get back to the point... You have said before, you don't want your sister to be involved, right?"
"No," Runan said firmly: "This is the biggest premise for me to cooperate with you. She knows nothing. She is completely a person without scheming and has no courage. Letting her touch those things is equivalent to taking her life."
"That's a pity... She has a natural supernatural physique. If she is well trained, her ability will not be worse than you..."
"What does the supernatural constitution... mean to us? What are the characteristics of it besides a premonition?"
After thinking for a while, Ren Jing began to tell the story: "As far as I know, there are many types of supernatural constitutions. Most of the natural constitutions will show that they are different from ordinary people at a very young age. For example, you brothers and sisters have awakened their abilities later. When they come into contact with things related to supernatural, this ability gradually wakes up. However, even so, they only have premonition. People with stronger supernatural abilities should be able to see ghosts that are invisible to the naked eye."
"I can't see it with my naked eyes?"
"Well, but there is too little information about ghosts... In fact, ghosts are just a general term for those things, or this statement is easier for people to understand their existence as quickly as possible. Because the legend of ghosts has a long history, it is generally said that it is the souls of dead people. But legends are not equivalent to reality. Not all ghosts are originally humans, but most of them have nothing to do with humans and are completely derived from unknown worlds. There are many such things that cannot be called ghosts at all. Yes, many are invisible and accurate existences that make people unable to defend against. If the supernatural ability is further improved, you should have a sense of curse. But this is just 'detecting'. If you want to fight, you generally need acquired counseling to do it. Now you are far from able to do this."
Curse? Unknown?
There is no way to find out the so-called laws, nor to understand their forms, everything is purely unknown. So how can we defeat them in the future and seek ways to survive? Runanan was completely confused.
Next, he decided to discuss this matter with Ren Jing.
"Xie Xiaohao's corpse...well, it is obvious that this thing turns a person's body into that posture. This is the ability of that thing? Then, why no corpses appeared in Zhang Jun and Xia Peng is a mystery."
Ren Jing nodded and further raised her point of view: "My thoughts are the same as you. I think their bodies do exist and have not disappeared. But they were not found for a moment. In summary, it seems to be seeking an object without a goal. The first two victims had no common points. Of course, they do not deny that there may be any connection that we have not discovered. If we consider it, the fourth person might be another irrelevant person."
The most urgent task is, if the fourth person is Ou Xueyan, how can you protect her?
"First of all, I can assure you that my father's notes have repeatedly emphasized that the only way to untie the curse is to make the premonition not become reality. The elements of our three premonitions are characters, time and keywords. The only things that can be changed are only the time that your sister can premonition and the life and death of the character. So... the first point is that from today on, you must wear a watch every moment, including when you sleep, and you must frequently check the time. The error cannot be checked for a minute. If you can confirm that the watch you are wearing is the exact time, then the time of your own watch shall prevail regardless of the occasion."
At this moment, Runan asked a question that had been entrenched in his mind for a long time.
"If we killed that person before the time of the premonition, then is it considered that the premonition has not become a reality?"
The living room suddenly fell into death silence.
The two looked at each other, as if they had their own ideas.
"I don't know. Maybe it can be counted. After all, my father didn't write this in his notes. But it's just possible. Would you try it? Kill someone to save your life?"
Ren Jing's question made Runan unable to answer for a moment. He really couldn't do it. After all, he was not the kind of cold and selfish person. He couldn't do it like killing people. Moreover, this is not the only way, and it is not even certain whether it is a method of resolving the curse. Therefore, at least now, he would never do that.
But, if it is for Runli, if one day this becomes the only way, he cannot guarantee that he will do anything.
"This question doesn't need to be thought so deeply. In fact, even if you want to kill, you may not be able to kill. This terrifying fate is so easy to change. Well, I don't want to discuss such a dark topic with you, and your sister will definitely not agree to do that. The next question is... the life and death of the character. As long as that person survives, it can change the curse fate on us, and at least let him live until his premonition. Although they have the best ability to protect themselves, people without supernatural abilities, even the most powerful warrior in the world, cannot escape from death. Therefore, the ideal consideration is to take both offense and defense. With your current ability, I can only consider "guarding".
"Let Ou Xueyan escape like our brother and sister?" Runan felt very uncomfortable when he thought of this. Is this the only way? Is it only possible to escape passively? Isn't there any way to deal with ghosts in some novels? For example, throwing black dog blood, drawing talismans, hanging evil-proof objects on your body, etc.
"In addition... I want to remind you." As if seeing Runan's thoughts, Ren Jing added: "The methods of exorcising ghosts in novels and movies are all made up to deceive people, because literary works require the victory of the righteous side, and only by arranging humans to have the power to fight ghosts. But this is not the case. Their existence cannot be understood with our common sense, and it is even more impossible to find a way to restrain. Only a very small number of people with supernatural constitutions can feel their existence. So don't expect those irrelevant things."
So the center of the discussion is how to "keep".
"After we have determined the time, we will first cultivate our spirits, and then accompany the fourth person for twenty-four hours on the scheduled death date. If that person is not Ou Xueyan, we can also capture and imprison him. Alas, I was really not considerate before. Although it was because of the first time, Xia Peng was still killed."
"What's next? If the 'that thing' comes out, how do we deal with it?"
"This is the map of the city," she seemed to be magically pulling out a piece of paper, then pointed to the points above and said, "Did you see it? These are some of the better escape routes I have drawn. If you want to imprison the other party, you can consider it here. My grandfather and I asked for a house, which was to choose a relatively convenient area with many overpasses and subways nearby, and there were many intersections, so it was not easy to encounter traffic jams. Moreover, because it was a prime location and there were many people, we could also ask for help... Of course, this was to delay time. If the fourth person was Ou Xueyan, I also chose the location."
Then she pointed to a black dot in the city center, took out a red pen and drew a circle, and analyzed: "This is the memorial square in the city center. Recently, because the holidays are approaching, there are more police officers to maintain order and there are more people. We can choose to be near the mayor's statue, which is not far from the parking lot. Moreover, this square is open to citizens 24 hours a day, so it doesn't matter if you stay there all night. After leaving the square, there are three roads to choose from, and each road leads to the opposite direction to the area where Xie Xiaohao's apartment is located."
"The plan is really detailed..." Runan had to admire Ren Jing, who had completely understood the terrain and took into account every factor. From the map, he would hardly encounter remote areas with few people. When he stayed near the mayor's statue, he could find many people to ask for help. Although modern society is indifferent and few people helped passers-by whom he didn't know, if there were policemen, it would be impossible to remain indifferent to the need to maintain order and protect the square. In short, the more people involved, the more chaotic the situation is, the greater the chance of successfully escaping."
Of course, even this is not a foolproof one. After all, the other party is an unknown non-human, and no one knows what to do. Therefore, the plan is up to man and the success is in heaven. In fact, the component of heaven is higher in heaven. Moreover, there is also a great risk, that is, once the person fails, the body of that person appears by Xie Xiaohao, which is probably going to attract the attention of the police. Maybe they will be regarded as murderers. Implementing strategies in places with a large population has advantages, but also disadvantages.
Now, the problem is a premonition. After Runan senses the fourth person, he must find out the address of the person before the time limit as soon as possible and find the other party. If this person is Ou Xueyan, it is best, but if not, I am afraid it will take some time. If it is a person with no clues to follow, the plan may be postponed again.
However, at this moment, Runan felt an image appearing in his mind again. The figure and name of the fourth person gradually became clearer...
