Mysterious creature sightings

After a person dies, the immune system collapses, and bacteria and viruses in the intestines begin to run around, decomposing internal organs and epidermal tissue.During the decomposition process, some toxic gases will appear and emit from the nose, mouth, ears and even the anus.

This is corpse odor.

The smell of corpses in such unventilated places can even make people who smell it at close range suffer from serious diseases. Therefore, many famous prosecutors and forensic doctors in history did not end well.

The people in the Special Investigation Division don't have much experience with corpses, but every case in which a deceased person appears is alarming enough, so they have very clear knowledge in this area.

After the smell dissipated, they put on protective clothing and went down to remove the body.

Twelve corpses were covered with white cloths and placed on the grass.

It can be seen from the degree of decay that the twelve people died at different times. Some are already white bones, and some still have some sticky and rotten tissue.

"Ugh!" Ling Jiangyue turned around and retched non-stop. He pulled Lin Zheng's clothes and knelt down on the ground, vomiting until tears came out.

She was someone who had never had any experience with rotting corpses.

Compared with her, Xin Wen and her brother and sister had a strong mentality. They were able to get close to pick up the bacterial flora on the corpse and carefully send it to the spore analyzer for examination.

That's really a bit paranoid and fanatical.

Ling Jiangyue's throat hurt from retching, and when he was gasping for air, a filtering respirator was handed over to him.

It was Lin Zheng. Although he looked cold, he lifted her up and put on a respirator with a note: "This place is not suitable for drinking water. Please bear with it."

She nodded with tears in her eyes. The respirator was half a face, like a gas mask from World War II. It had two filters on the left and right, which were close to the bridge of the nose. The remaining eyes were highlighted and attracted great attention.

You can clearly see the tears hanging on the eyelashes.

Lin Zheng's gaze swept across her face without pause, and he turned his head as if he hadn't seen her, and discussed the strangeness of the corpse with Lin Jia and the others.

Ling Jiangyue thought he should smoke a special cigarette when he turned his head, so that she wouldn't notice that his pheromones were still fluctuating after being suppressed.

It's a pity that for a man who doesn't mean what he says, a little bit of pheromones has revealed too much.

She sorted out the impact she had received in her mind, followed him and squatted behind Lin Zheng, pretending not to notice everyone's subtle gazes, and listened to their exchange.

"There are flora, but at first glance there are only putrefactive bacteria on the corpses. We are not sure whether there are the fungi we are looking for. From the most intuitive point of view, there are no mushrooms growing on the corpses, and even the spores of the most vegetarian Basidiomycota can be seen. Not here." Jiang Yuxing said.

"The methods of death of these corpses are quite different. This corpse is so shriveled that it looks like it was mummified after all the water was sucked out before death. It still has a layer of skin left."

Xu Jiayan pointed to the closest corpse that seemed to be the safest. After that, he pointed to the farthest corpse with a great contrast, and continued: "As for that one, judging from the degree of decomposition, the death time should not be long, but his The limbs are stiff, the movements of the hands are like grabbing something, and the head is tilted upward, which is like the characteristics of death by drowning."

In the same place, one person was dried and the other drowned. If someone hadn't deliberately brought the body here and hid it, there is only one conclusion -

"That's the kind of thing! It can make them hallucinate!"

Xin Zhi was so excited that his nose turned red, and his eyes flashed strangely: "The one who dried it probably imagined that he was in a high-temperature desert, or entered some horrible fantasy of low-temperature drying, and the one who drowned must have thought that he fell into the water. It’s in! That’s what that thing is for! We have to find it!”

"Don't be so excited," Lin Jia looked at them with a neutral attitude on her cold face, "I still haven't figured out what happened to so many corpses. If you go in and look for them now, even if you have protective clothing, it will turn into corpse No. 13. "Ling Jiangyue looked around at the corpses and became interested. No matter what this thing is, its effects are amazing.

It can actually cause different people to have different hallucinations of torture.

As a non-staff contractor, she cautiously joined the discussion: "If what he said is true, why did the people in the information die after returning, and all these people died here? Did they fall in accidentally, or did they go in?" What are you looking for? Or, after hallucinations, did you queue up and wait to die? "

Jiang Yuxing felt cold: "Queue to die? That is a matter that the Xiangxi Special Case Investigation Division will take over."

She asked curiously: "What department is that?"

"It's not about zombies."

"..."

Lin Zheng carefully looked at the corpse that had died of drowning, then turned to Ling Jiangyue and said, "Look, are there any strange energy groups? Or pheromones from certain creatures."

"That disgusting one," she couldn't even name the corpse. She leaned close to Lin Zheng's back and pointed there. "There is a greenish thing on the belly. The energy color of the fungus you showed me before is not like this. , so I don’t know what it is.”

"They are some very common decomposers." Xin Wen answered for them. The data from the spore analyzer came out, which was not the result they expected, so they both spoke with a face.

Of course Ling Jiangyue knew that it was very common. The question was: "Only he has it. Is it because he died in the shortest time?"

Lin Jia said: "It's possible. But it's good news. We finally know why only a few cases in the documents have left traces over the years."

Because everyone else died here and could not go back.

Lin Zheng: "Jiang Yuxing, call the local criminal police team and ask the forensic doctor to check these corpses. Check the DNA of the person who died the shortest time to find his identity information and clues about this place during his lifetime."

Jiang Yuxing agreed, and he added: "Over a period of 20 years, at least seventeen people have been here and died after being entangled by some kind of creature. What is so special about this place? They were tortured in hallucinations for a long time The lengths are also different. Is it caused by different hallucinations or different amounts of infected toxins? Comrade Xin, do you know?"

Xin Zhi: "How do I know? The content in the information is all the information we know. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to work with you."

Lin Zheng didn't know whether to believe it or not. He stared at them for half a minute, then moved away calmly and called the mycology professor to discuss the possible fungal communities nearby.

At this time, Ling Jiangyue's ears twitched, he turned his head to look at the wide entrance of the hole, and sniffed lightly.

The smell of corpse stench had dissipated, and she could slowly smell something familiar.

Something very familiar, something that would accompany her for a long time as a drug.

"What did you see?" Lin Zheng appeared next to her like a spirit from behind. It seemed that no matter what he was doing, he was paying some attention to be wary of her, so he could always find something wrong with her at the first time.

Ling Jiangyue turned slightly, and the two people's faces were very close. From the perspective of others, one lowered his head and the other raised his head, indicating that they were having a very private communication.

"There seems to be a bunch of creatures down there, moving very slowly. And the part where the corpse hole leaked out, in addition to the corpse smell, seems to have a familiar smell, which is very similar to the psilocybe mushroom you showed me this morning."
