Chapter 86 Cannibalism
It was safe and sound in the morning, but at noon, when Zhou Fan was practicing swordsmanship, a long sound of 'boom' suddenly sounded in the air not far away...
Zhou Fan's eyes narrowed, he looked over, and the sound of slam was followed by a bang.
With a cold look on Zhou Fan's face, he ran towards the direction of the signal flare, and the old man also jumped out.
The place where the accident happened was the paddy field that Zhou Fan had patrolled before!
There were already many members of the patrol team gathered in the paddy fields, and Wrinkle Shenshen and Lu Kui had both arrived.
Zhou Fan frowned, he stopped and kept his distance from the others.
The patrol team formed a circle, and Zhou Fan approached slowly, only to see what they were surrounded by.
Among the crowd were two dead patrolmen, each holding long spears that pierced each other's bodies.
The two of them had countless blood-colored gun marks on their bodies, and their round eyes stared at each other sullenly. The body leaning forward had blood dripping down the clothes and gun barrels continuously.
Lu Kui and the others were standing still, and the strange man most likely escaped.
Lu Kui said solemnly, "Give them two test talismans."
This is just in case, to prevent the two of them from sticking to their bodies.
Two team members carefully walked over with long spears, the spear points were glued to the test talismans, and they slapped the test talismans on the two dead people with the tip of the spears, but the test talismans did not respond at all.
Seeing that there was no problem, Lu Kui commanded again: "Except for the captain, the rest will go back to their posts."
The rest of the patrol members quickly retreated, and only Lu Kui, Wu Shenshen, and Zhou Fan remained.
Zhou Fan asked, "Who put the signal flare, did he see the weirdness?"
Lu Kui shook his head and said, "The flares I set were the ones I discovered first. When I discovered them, they were already dead, and I didn't see any strange existence."
Wrinkle looked at the two bloody corpses deeply and frowned: "Before they died, they were killing each other, it may be that one or both of them were possessed by a monster, otherwise it wouldn't be like this, monster Kill them and leave."
Lu Kui's face changed slightly and said, "Damn, shouldn't that monster be let into the village?"
In the past, there have been incidents of strange killings of the patrol team members, thereby sneaking into the village across the defense line, causing a lot of casualties to Sanqiu Village several times.
Zou Shen pulled the sword out, and he went to the village insider, "I'll take someone to search to see if I can find it or them."
Say 'they' and there may be more than one.
As the wrinkled figure disappeared deeply, Zhou Fan said, "I'll go over and see those two corpses."
After Zhou Fan finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Kui who was not far away. Lu Kui nodded and said that he would pay attention to the situation around him for Zhou Fan.
Zhou Fan pulled out the straight knife, and he put a small flame talisman on the back of the knife before approaching the corpse step by step. Even if he had tested it with the test talisman, he had to be so careful, because the test talisman was reliable most of the time, but Sometimes not necessarily reliable.
That inaccurate 'sometimes' might kill someone, so Zhou Fan naturally couldn't bet his life on this kind of thing.
After Zhou Fan approached, only the blood was still dripping from the two corpses, and there was no change.
Zhou Fan did not relax his vigilance because of this, he was still on guard against whether there would be some unknown strangeness in the corpse suddenly tearing the corpse and rushing towards him.
While vigilant, he observed the two corpses up close. He was an experienced criminal policeman, and he quickly noticed something unusual.
Zhou Fan first looked at the eyes of the corpse. The two patrol members had not died long ago.
If a person dies, more than three hours after death, a thin cloud will appear in the eyes, and the eyeballs will become very soft.
In fact, it can't be more than an hour. The subtle corpse will appear on the face and eye muscles first, and it will take an hour to appear. Their face and eye muscles have not shown any signs of corpse.
In addition to these, the degree of their bleeding and the color of their blood all corroborate Zhou Fan's judgment.
That is to say, during their lunch break, they encountered a strange attack, and then began to kill each other, thus perishing together.
After Zhou Fan made such a judgment, he observed the blood-stained faces of the two of them. Their faces were hideous, and both sides were staring at each other.
Zhou Fan interprets their emotions from their faces. For him, observing the emotions of corpses is much simpler than that of living people.
There was only hatred, anger, and hatred on the two faces, but there was only one emotion missing.
Without the emotion of fear, when ordinary people encounter strange things, there should be some emotion of fear left. Why don't they?
Is it because of being possessed and controlled for too long, the fear has been restrained?
Zhou Fan looked down, and from the faces of the two corpses, he saw the wounds on their bodies, which were all wounds from the point of a gun.
After they died, their hands clenched their spears tightly, so hard that the protruding knuckles on their fists were faintly white.
From the location of these wounds and the way they held the spear so hard, Zhou Fan could imagine that the fight was brutal, and both sides were not afraid to die and greeted their opponents.
The fight between these two people before they died can be said to be crazy and cruel. If they were really possessed, then both of them were possessed. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain how tragic the fight would be.
If only one person is possessed, then the other will face the possessed lunatic with a little sanity, and the battle will not turn out like this.
The question now is are they really possessed?
Where is the gossip? Murdered and fled into the wild? Run into the village? Still watching them around here?
Zhou Fan retracted his gaze, took a few steps back and thought for a while before slowly saying, "None of them are newcomers."
Zhou Fan still had some impressions of the two patrol team members who died, and vaguely remembered that the two team members had been on the patrol team for more than a year.
Lu Kui on the side smiled bitterly: "Of course they are not newcomers."
Originally, the team had just added three new recruits, but when he turned around, two veterans in the team died. He went back and told Luo Haetian who was in charge of recruiting for the patrol team. I'm afraid Luo Haetian would jump and curse.
The more the patrol team dies, the more expensive it is to recruit people. After all, there are not many people willing to work for money. It is estimated that this matter will soon spread, and it will not scare the courage of some villagers who want to come. It's going to be priced on the ground.
Lu Kui kept his face sullen. No matter what, the patrol team had to gather them together, because the patrol team was the defense line of the village. If the defense line collapsed, no one would want to live.
According to the rules of the village, if it is impossible to recruit people, the only way to do it is compulsory recruitment, but this method does more harm than good, and the village is reluctant to use it unless it is necessary.
"Does the newcomer have anything to do with this?" Lu Kui looked at Zhou Fan, and he realized that Zhou Fan's words were a bit abrupt.
