Nightmare Apostle

The victims of another tragedy were a single mother and her child. They were hacked to death with a sharp weapon and their bodies were chopped into several pieces.

In the corresponding photo, Yang Xiao saw the bodies of the mother and child. The death condition was horrific. The child, who was about 6 or 7 years old, was chopped open horizontally, with three cuts in total, on the neck, abdomen, and a little bit on the calf and knee.

The scary thing is that the corpse was carefully pieced back together to form a complete human form on the bed, but the child's face, stained red by blood, was quite calm, as if he was asleep.

The other picture is of the boy's mother. She was only hit with one knife, but this knife actually split the poor woman vertically, and the vicious cracks penetrated the entire body, from head to toe.

Like the boy, the two halves of the woman's body were reassembled and laid out on the bed.

It was hard for Yang Xiao to imagine how much force it would take to split an adult in half with a knife. He couldn't even imagine what kind of weapon could leave such a vicious wound.

In Yang Xiao's imagination, this should be a weapon that may not be so sharp, but has considerable weight. It is not wielded to chop, but held with both hands to grab and use.

It should be similar to a fire ax, but its size is at least three times larger than the largest fire ax Yang Xiao has ever seen.

To be able to wield such a heavy weapon to kill, the murderer must not be human. The ghost he saw not long ago suddenly appeared in Yang Xiao's mind, that big guy covered in black and hiding in the darkness. This exaggerated weapon was simply Like it was tailor-made for it.

The next few cases were more horrifying than the other. Some victims had their heads smashed by unknown heavy objects, while others had half of their bodies crushed.

The bodies of these people were finally put back on the bed. In a photo of the scene, Yang Xiao didn't even recognize that it was a person, it was more like a pile of human-shaped rotten meat.

"This apartment is located in the surrounding area of ​​Qingfeng City, Northern Jiangsu Province. It is not very far from our place, but there are mostly mountain roads that are not easy to walk. The most convenient way is to drive directly there." Zhuge Zhijie adjusted on the computer Produce a map and give suggestions.

"How long will it take?"

"If we leave now, we'll probably arrive around noon tomorrow."

Without further ado, Yang Xiao took the information in his hand and planned to rush over, but was stopped by Da Xiong and the others, "Captain, please wait a moment, the director and others will be here soon."

"The director is here too?" Yang Xiao couldn't help feeling that the leaders in the office valued him, and a warm current filled his heart.

But soon, Yang Xiao knew that he was wrong. Director Nalan quickly walked in with Ximen Xiu and announced something in public. The Office received a tip saying that a group of evil cultivators had recently lurked into Rongcheng, and there might be something going on. All members of the investigation team must be prepared for a big move.

"Yang Xiao, you go and do your work. Beibei, you stay and temporarily take over Yang Xiao's work. Da Xiong, Yu Shu, Zhuge Zhijie, you key members must stick to your posts. Ximen Xiu, you are an exception. You go with Yang Xiao. ”

Ximen Xiu was unhappy after hearing this, "Director, what do you mean? Are you biased against my professional ability?"

Looking at Yang Xiao, Director Nalan seemed to feel that this was not very humane, and finally gave in, "Zhuge Zhijie, you can go too, bring your equipment, and communicate with the department immediately if something happens."

"Director, that incident when I shot...

Before the words left his mouth, Nalan Shuo interrupted him with a wave of his hand and said impatiently: "Stop talking about this nonsense, Yang Xiao, the soldiers are very quick. You can leave now. I have already sent a letter to the patrol office stationed there." Go to the news and they will provide you with all the necessary help.”

"Thank you, Director!"

"Protect yourself and be careful."

After Zhuge Zhijie brought all the equipment, the three of them came to the underground parking lot together. At this moment, a prepared gray off-road vehicle was parked outside the elevator.

"Zhijie, why don't you stay? Ximen Xiu can just drive me there. You staying here will be more useful to Beibei and the others." Yang Xiao advised.

Zhuge Zhijie shook his head stubbornly, "Let's go together. We can catch evil cultivators at any time, but we only have you as the captain."

After the three of them got in the car, Ximen Xiu, who was sitting in the driver's seat, put on his blackout sunglasses and held the steering wheel. "Brothers, sit still!"

The road conditions were mostly mountainous and poor, and Ximen Xiu was not familiar with the route. He did not dare to drive fast. By the time he arrived in Qingfeng City, it was already 1 o'clock in the afternoon.

Frankly speaking, they had almost no time wasted along the way. Except for a short break and a meal at a rest stop, they were always on the road.

The person responsible for interacting with Yang Xiao at the Qingfeng City Patrol Office is a woman named Meng. She is about 30 years old, has short hair, and looks very capable in a uniform.

"Captain Yang, we have received the news from you. This Dongzhou Apartment is a famous ghost building here. It has been abandoned for many years."

"You also know that there are some things in the information that are not convenient to write down. In fact... this apartment is actually more sinister than you think.

Ten years ago, our director organized an investigation team to clear up the supernatural incidents in the apartment. As a result, an accident occurred, resulting in the disappearance of three investigators, including a deputy captain. Since then, we have completely blocked that place. apartment. "

He had no intention of taking risks rashly. Yang Xiao planned to understand the situation first, "Mr. Meng, can you find someone who knows about Dongzhou Apartment? It's best to have someone who has lived there."

This apartment is very big. Yang Xiao doesn't believe that all the people who have lived in it have been killed by evil spirits. This is unrealistic.

The woman had obviously done some homework in this area and nodded, "There is one, his name is Nong Fayi. He used to deliver newspapers to the residents of Dongzhou Apartment for a period of time 30 years ago. There was a tragedy and he was the first one. We found that this person is still alive and lives in the countryside not far from here, about half an hour’s drive away.”

"Thank you, please tell us your address." No information is as direct and accurate as the oral accounts of those who have experienced it.

The woman wrote down the address and reminded Yang Xiao: "Captain Yang, this Nong Fayi has a weird personality. It may be that the tragedy that happened in the apartment before has left him with a psychological shadow. You should be more careful when asking questions and don't irritate him. "

Following the woman's guidance, the three of them finally found Nong Fayi's residence through electronic navigation, which was several brick houses connected together.

The kind with a wall.

There are not just Nong Fayi's family here, but 4 or 5 families in total. To the west and north of the house is a large area of ​​post-harvest wasteland. It can be seen that the people here rely on farming for their livelihood.

After getting off the car, Yang Xiao looked up at the sky. The sky was not very good and gloomy. It looked like it would rain soon.

Taking Ximen Xiu, Zhuge Zhijie, and Yang Xiao along with them, they stepped on the loess road and walked towards the brick house in the west, which was also the closest to them.

That is the home of Nong Fayi.

Before I could get closer, the small iron gate of the yard was pushed open with a "Gah!", and a dark-skinned middle-aged woman holding a wooden basin walked out, wearing a pair of badly faded plastic slippers. .

Seeing Yang Xiao and the others, the middle-aged woman looked up and down for a moment, then asked in a strong local accent: "Are you the leaders sent by the county?"

"Sister, I'm not a leader, I just want to ask Brother Nong Fayi something. Is he at home?" Yang Xiao said in a friendly and easy-going tone.

"Here, you can just go in." The woman didn't look back, took a few steps forward, and then poured a basin of dirty water into the shallow ditch on the side of the road.

"You can't do anything. The more polite you say, the worse it will be." The woman muttered in a low voice, as if she didn't want to see people from the county.

And these words happened to be heard by Yang Xiao and the other three.

Pushing open the rusty iron door, you see a small yard in front of you, just like an ordinary farmhouse. There is a wooden doghouse near the door. There are no dogs in it. They probably ran out to play.

On the ground on the other side of the yard are several large pieces of thick plastic sheeting, covered with a thick layer of corn kernels, which are golden yellow. In addition, there are some dried radishes, such as dried radishes. Similar strips, these things take up half of the yard.

While seeing these things, Yang Xiao frowned, but the next second, there was a sound of dry coughing, and he heard it. In the corner of the yard near the brick house, an old man with gray hair was sitting.

Because there was a clothesline in the yard and the clothes hanging on it blocked the view, I didn't notice the old man in the corner for the first time.

The old man was leaning on the recliner, as if he was not in good health, with a large dirty plush blanket covering his waist.

To the right of the old man, against the wall, stood a pair of wooden crutches.
