The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 13
It was completely dark at this moment, surrounded by tall and low shrubs, and the light of the flashlight was limited. Tan Ren and I were carefully observing the surrounding environment when we suddenly heard this creepy cry. stopped.

My hearing is actually very good. Modern people like heavy music, live in a noisy environment for a long time, or wear headphones for a long time, in fact, their hearing is somewhat reduced.I live in a relatively simple environment in the orphanage, perhaps because of this, so my hearing is sharper than most people. After the sound sounded for two or three seconds, I locked its position.

From where we are on the right.

What would it be?
Why is it called so miserable?

Of course, in the middle of the night, Tan Ren and I would naturally not run over to check. The ones that screamed more were animals, not humans. hunted.

The word hunting is often accompanied by blood. Although I was curious about what kind of animal it was, I didn't intend to move forward.Tan Ren obviously thought the same way. He only looked at the direction from which the voice came from, and didn't pay any attention to it. Instead, he made a gesture to me to continue walking forward.

The weird screams didn't last long, and stopped abruptly in about five or six seconds. Along with the surrounding silence, the nerves that were tense just now also relaxed.I just breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to leave with Tan Ren, when suddenly, from the direction where the screams came from before, there was some movement again.

This time, it seemed to be a personal voice.

"Help, help..."

I stopped and listened carefully. After a while, I finally confirmed that this was not my auditory hallucination.Although the voice was very small, I could still hear it. It seemed that an extremely weak person was calling for help. The voice was not loud. If it wasn't for my better hearing, it would be easy to miss it.

Tan Ren didn't seem to hear the voice, so I grabbed him and motioned him to follow me.

Tan Ren frowned and said, "What are you doing?"

I said, "Someone is calling for help."

I grabbed Tan Ren and walked a few steps towards that place when I suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood on the tip of my nose. I looked with the flashlight and realized that there was a pool of blood on the ground in front of me. Source of a dead animal.

It was like a cat, but three times the size of a normal house cat, brown with black spots and stiff fur.I recognized this thing as a leopard cat, which is widely distributed. It used to be common in the mountains and wilds of China, and it was not a rare species. However, after the economic development, fur exports began, coupled with territorial invasion, the number of leopard cats has reached the present. The population has decreased and is listed as a protected species.Due to the good management of the mountain forests in Shenzhen, there have been reports about wild leopard cats from time to time in recent years.

The one in front of me should be an adult leopard cat, but at this moment, its whole body has been disemboweled, and the blood mixed with the smell of internal organs is pouring straight into my nose in the night wind, making me almost want to vomit. .

From the looks of it, it should be this leopard cat that made that strange scream just now, but what killed it?

If it was hunting, why did it die and the body was not dragged away by the hunter?
Moreover, animals are accustomed to killing with one blow, mostly by biting the neck or abdomen, but this leopard cat...

To tell you the truth, when I took a closer look, I felt my scalp tingle, because it was neatly divided into two from the neck to the abdomen, and the viscera inside flowed all over the place. I can't think of any animal that uses this to hunt kind of method.

Looking forward along the leopard cat's body, there is a messy bush in front of it, which is tightly blocked, and the scene behind cannot be seen clearly, and the faint cry for help just now is silent now.

"anyone there?"

The one who killed the leopard cat should be an extremely powerful beast. Will that person also suffer?
I was going to walk forward for a while, when something suddenly hit my shoulder, which startled me.

I turned my head and saw that it was Tan Ren. He shook his head slightly and said, "There are ferocious beasts nearby, don't approach them."

Of course I also know this, but if someone asks for help, is it possible that we will die instead of saving?I said, "That person should be nearby."

Tan Ren frowned, with doubts on his face: "I didn't hear the sound." His tone was very firm, and I was not surprised by his reaction at all. I smiled and said, "My hearing is better than most people's." Alright, trust me." I am usually the first to discover small movements in my life, so I am still very confident in my hearing.

There must be someone, can't be wrong.

I spared the leopard cat's body and began to search around cautiously. Of course, I would not use my bare hands, but first found a wooden stick with the thickness of an arm in the surrounding area. If there is any dangerous thing, I can also resist it.

I bypassed the leopard cat and walked a few steps forward in the bushes, when the voice that disappeared appeared again: "Help, help me..." This time I can be sure that he is right in front of me!At the moment, I didn't care about other things, and immediately pushed aside the bushes and rushed forward. However, the moment the bushes were connected, I felt that I was going to collapse.

Because there is a low-lying land in front of the bushes, it rained a few days ago, so a puddle of mud accumulated in the low-lying land, and that person got stuck in the mud and asked me for help... But, this person, he, He has only one head!

Only one head!
Pale and pale human head, hairless, stuck in the mud, calling for help, with a voice like a leaky pocket, calling for help all the time.

My legs were weak, and I could barely stand. Under the intense fear, I could hardly make a sound, as if my throat was being choked by an invisible hand.I even wondered if I was hallucinating, so I blinked hard.

In the blink of an eye, and then opened again, the head really disappeared, there is no head in the mud pit.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and felt the pressure all over my body be released suddenly. Surprise and joy hurt the body the most. When I relax, I feel as if all the strength in my body has been drained. I wonder if there is something wrong with my body. Just now Could it be that the voice I heard didn't exist?Maybe it's my hallucination?
Thinking about it this way, I was a little scared, so I didn't plan to look for that person again, and decided to go back. However, when I turned my head, I suddenly found that the bushes behind me had disappeared.

Tan Ren who followed behind also disappeared.

Where are there any shrubs, where are there any hills, in the dim yellow light of the flashlight, the surrounding forests are completely empty, and it becomes an empty place, with gray mist floating around, and the line of sight becomes extremely narrow.

My living environment has always been simple, and my knowledge is limited, so at this moment, I really couldn't figure out what was going on. After the initial daze, a thought popped into my mind: Is it a ghost?
I thought of the human head just now, and felt a little uncomfortable all over.

"Boss?" I tried to walk back, and looked for Tan Ren in the dark.There was a layer of gray mist floating in the night, and the light of the flashlight could not penetrate it. For a while, I could only see a distance of about one or two meters in front of my eyes.

"Tan Ren, Tan Ren! Is there anyone...Damn it!"

I couldn't help but swear, and then swear a series of swear words to offset the fear in my heart.This method does have some effect, at least it prevents me from crashing in this weird environment.

I am sure that I must have run into evil, but every Chinese must have heard of some ghosts and the like, such as ghosts hitting walls, ghosts blowing lamps, and the like.I am naturally no exception, I thought, did I meet a ghost and hit the wall?
Could it be that human head playing tricks just now?

Just as this idea came to my head, the voice calling for help appeared again. This time, I heard clearly that the voice came from above my head.

My neck stiffened for a moment, and the muscles in my body couldn't help tensing up, and then I slowly raised my head, and then, I saw that pale human head hanging at a height of no meters above my head, slowly floating That pair of pale eyeballs just looked down at me like that...

Turns out...it's been on top of my head the whole time.
