Chapter 10 The Scariest Thing in the World

The streets at night.

Police lights illuminated the darkness, flashlights shone around, and police tape cordoned off the scene.

Security personnel entered the residential area and conducted searches in each building.

Zhang Yu looked at the bluish-purple corpse on the ground, his gloved hand pinching its face.

He took out his phone with his left hand and dialed: "Captain Chen, the body of Li Dashan who escaped has been found. It's in Liuyi Street, behind household 198, but only half of it remains, and it's bluish-purple."

"Half a body? I'll be there soon. You can examine the body first," Captain Chen's voice rang out.

Zhang Yu quickly examined the body.

The surrounding security personnel went upstairs to conduct interviews and investigations.

Five minutes later, Chen Youzhi arrived.

"Did you find anything?" Chen Youzhi asked.

"Captain Chen, the testing equipment is not responding. His mouth has turned into a mosquito's mouthparts. What's even stranger is that his body is shriveled and his face is distorted, as if he has suffered a great shock."

Zhang Yu examined him and said, "Moreover, the hardness of his flesh and bones is almost comparable to yours."

Chen Youzhi squatted down and tapped the corpse; it was indeed rock hard.

A security guard came over and reported to the leader:

"His legs were completely mangled. He must have jumped from the sixteenth floor. According to the investigation, the body was chasing someone. After the person shouted for help, the body seemed to be startled and jumped directly from the building."

"After the body jumped down, it crawled out with its hands, which was clearly recorded by the community's surveillance cameras; the problem is that after the body ran out, it suddenly lunged forward and then disappeared, which is where the community's surveillance cameras couldn't capture."

"What about the nearby surveillance cameras?" Chen Youzhi asked.

"The surveillance cameras in this area broke down several months ago, and they haven't been repaired due to lack of funding," the security guard explained.

"Damn it, how much money do you need? Get the people here to fix it right away!" Chen Youzhi cursed. "Any further developments?"

"The guy upstairs who was investigating said someone saw a ghost."

"What the hell?"

"This is a video taken by the upstairs residents. It's very blurry, and we can't tell what it is. According to their description, it should be humanoid, but its body is bent backward at a 90-degree angle, and it's holding two bone clubs in its hands."

The security guard opened the video, but it was so blurry that Chen Youzhi could only make out a blurry black shadow after looking at it for a long time; he couldn't even distinguish a human figure.

"And the monster also made a strange 'heh heh' laugh," the security guard added.

Chen Youzhi pondered for a moment, then concluded, "So, the corpse failed in its attempt to commit the crime, jumped off the building to escape, encountered an even more terrifying monster here, and killed the corpse?"

"That's right," the security guard nodded.

"Continue the investigation, follow the route the monster took to escape, and see if there are any clues. Review all the surveillance footage along the way."

There are no surveillance cameras in that area.

"No?"

"We're in a new district, things aren't perfect yet, nothing's installed," the security guard said helplessly.

Chen Youzhi gritted his teeth: "Then let's have people search first. Find Wu Yun's body as soon as possible. Li Dashan appeared here, so she's very likely nearby too."

"Understood," the security guard replied emphatically.

Zhang Yu sheathed his knife and took off his gloves: "During our previous investigation, we found that Li Dashan's body had regained its vitality, but now it has completely lost its vitality; he is thoroughly dead."

"Don't give me that 'viability' nonsense. They dissected and removed all the internal organs; they were practically ready for cremation. And now you're talking to me about 'viability'?"

Chen Youzhi let out a heavy sigh: "I know this thing better than you do. I can't be at ease until it's burned to ashes. This time, we'll take it back and burn it directly."

"That won't do. Forensic doctor Chen Ming won't agree. We need to study it further. This is our first sample," Zhang Yu said.

"Research my ass!" Chen Youzhi cursed angrily. "The testing equipment was issued by higher-ups; what has he figured out?"

"Li Dashan and Wu Yun have undergone the same mutation. Based on the characteristics of the monster, it is entirely possible to locate Wu Yun's position using a detection device," Zhang Yu said calmly.

"Then pull them back quickly. Tell Chen Ming to hurry up; more than a dozen people have already been injured."

Chen Youzhi rubbed his temples and said, "This thing is even stranger than what the fisherman encountered."

"Captain Chen, should we ask about that thing?" Zhang Yu's expression shifted.

Chen Youzhi shook his head: "That thing is too dangerous. You won't get any information out of it, and getting close to it will affect your brainwaves, and might even drive you crazy."

"What about those who were injured? Have they changed at all?" Zhang Yu asked.

"Some are normal and fine, while others have died directly. It's been too short, so we don't know if they will turn into zombies," Chen Youzhi said.

"Captain Chen, how about we invite my senior sister over?" said Xiao Liu, the security guard.

"Who is your senior?" Chen Youzhi glanced at him with a hint of curiosity.

"Li Hongyi," said the security guard, Xiao Liu.

"she?"

Chen Youzhi had an idea: "I'll give you two days off, you can go and invite him over."

"Captain, how could I possibly ask them to do that? And the higher-ups won't release him."

"I can't fucking ask you to come. If you don't pull strings, how am I supposed to invite you?" Chen Youzhi said irritably, "You guys have some kind of school camaraderie, but what do I have?"

……

It was still dark.

Gu Bai stretched, his bones cracking, and pressed his head back down.

Looking in the mirror, he was still the handsome White Bone Demon, unchanged, with no sign of gaining weight in the future.

I put on my leather jacket, got up, and glanced at the insects I was raising.

It was just an ordinary mosquito. The fish was still alive. The White Bone Demon was very disappointed, and her food hoarding plan was declared a failure.

I brought another pig to the market, but the older women there didn't seem to be in such high demand for pork today.

But it still sells very well, since more people prefer to eat fresh pork.

Young people, in particular, have absolutely no concept of stockpiling food.

Zhang Yu came to buy groceries and ordered two pork ribs: "I'm going to the community for training this afternoon, this is my epidemic prevention training certificate."

"Okay." Gu Bai took the student ID and put it in his pocket.

Zhang Yu didn't linger and left with the ribs.

After selling the pork, Gu Bai went to Old Wang's shop.

"There's still P blood?"

"Yes, I brought all the goods from around here. How many bags do you need this time?"

"One bag, I'll come back to sell it tomorrow, it's hard for me to store it properly."

Although Gu Bai really wanted to buy them all, he was short of money and afraid that he wouldn't be able to resist and would buy them all at once.

Watching Gu Bai leave, Ma Gan smacked his lips and said, "Something's not right. Even if he stabs that girl every day, there's no need for so many blood transfusions, is there?"

"Who cares?" Old Wang waved his hand. "Stop thinking about nonsense and behave yourself. Another one died nearby yesterday."

Who is it?

"I heard his name is Li Dashan."

"Li Dashan? Don't be ridiculous, didn't he just die?"

"Who knows? Anyway, that's what people are saying. Maybe it's just a coincidence of names."

"Hey, why did they kill that guy named Li Dashan?"

"They might have a problem with someone named Li Dashan."

That's really strange.

With his car keys in hand, Ma Gan got into his van and began his stalking and filming mission for the day.

Gu Bai drank P's blood and became melancholy.

The pleasure was reduced.

Maybe I was too high last night, because I don't feel it as strongly today.

He sucked on the fish too, but it turned out he didn't feel anything at all.

"My appetite has increased."

The White Bone Demon was very depressed. The most terrifying thing in the world is not being able to afford food.

Throughout human history, why have there been wars?

Isn't it just because they can't afford to eat that they're making a fuss?
