Trickster Hunter

Chapter 10 "Bloody Mary"

Sun Hang originally wanted to find a random excuse to get away with it, but for some reason, when the words came to his lips, they turned into what 0401 had just said-

"Curiosity kills the cat."

"Are you threatening me?" 0398 raised his eyebrows, and there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

"I just said that, don't be too nervous." Sun Hang smiled, ignored 0398, and continued to walk forward with Captain Huang.

He had a very strange feeling in his heart. The person who walked up to slap the middle-aged woman and threatened 0398 just now seemed not to be himself...or, it seemed to be another personality in his body.

Or, that was the real self before he lost his memory?

With such doubts, Sun Hang walked silently...but as the crowd walked deeper and deeper in the passage, they gradually smelled a strange smell.

This is a mixture of rust, sourness and fishiness. Just one sniff can make you feel your stomach churning up and down. Even the sheriffs can't help but cover their mouths and noses with their hands.

Fortunately, they soon reached the end of the passage, and a wooden door with mottled paint appeared in front of them.

And the unbearable smell was extremely strong here.

The trace expert's face had become very ugly. He hesitated for a moment, but still walked to Captain Huang and whispered: "It's the smell of corpses, and there is a strong smell of blood... The missing women may have been killed a long time ago... Moreover, the method of committing the crime may be extremely cruel..."

"I know." Captain Huang reached out to the wooden door, but he couldn't make up his mind to push the door open.

"Or, let's retreat quickly..." 0401 looked timid, "I always feel that... there will be some, uh, not so good things inside."

"Captain Huang, this kid is right. At this time, the 'hunter' should be here soon." A sheriff also advised, "No matter what happens next, it has nothing to do with us."

Captain Huang stood in front of the door, and was entangled in a dilemma - on the one hand, the truth he had been pursuing was most likely at the back door, and he could get the answer as long as he pushed the door open; on the other hand, he was afraid to face the truth.

Just when Captain Huang was hesitant, Sun Hang walked over and put his hand on the door.

Indistinctly, Sun Hang always felt that there seemed to be something tempting him inside the door.

That disgusting smell, in addition to the initial fishy smell, actually concealed a hint of fragrant fragrance, just like the smell of nectar from the blooming stamens.

He suddenly felt a little hungry.

He pushed the door open while others were not paying attention.

Behind the door was a hall with an area of ​​more than 300 square meters. The floor of the hall slowly sank along the steps. The thick and suffocating smell of blood was useless even if you covered your mouth and nose. The tension penetrated into everyone's nerves through the remaining pores of the body, and it seemed that even the air became sticky.

Sun Hang walked down the steps, and at the end of the hall, he saw a square pool of blood.

This pool, which was as big as a swimming pool in an amusement park, was filled with bloody and sticky plasma. The broken and deformed bones floated in the blood pool, appearing and disappearing from time to time.

Above the blood pool, a naked young woman was hanging. Her body was swollen like a specimen that had been soaked in formalin solution for many years.

Her skin showed a strange bluish-white color. There were shocking wounds everywhere on her body. Blood slowly seeped out from the flesh turned outward at the wound, flowing down along the surface of the body, and finally fell into the blood pool under her feet.

Several thorns extended from the blood pool and entangled the young woman.

Those sharp thorns pierced her skin and drilled into her flesh, as if they were feeding on her body, squeezing out the little vitality left in the woman's body.

On her shoulder, a rose with extremely bright colors was blooming.

The young woman was still alive, and Sun Hang could sense that she was still breathing weakly.

But with every passing second, the woman became weaker, and the rose on her shoulder became more and more gorgeous.

A sound of footsteps came from behind, followed by a surprised low cry: "Xiao... Xiaojun?"

Obviously, the young woman hanging above the blood pool was the last missing trainee sheriff.

As for the other missing young women... Sun Hang glanced at the skeletons floating in the blood pool.

But in the end, Sun Hang's attention was still attracted by the rose... An inexplicable desire grew in his heart: he wanted to tear the flower off, put it in his mouth, and chew it hard...

This idea grew wildly in his mind almost uncontrollably. Just when Sun Hang was about to take action, 0401's desperate voice rang: "Bloody Mary?!"

Sun Hang's consciousness regained clarity.

Bloody Mary?

Is this the name of the rose?

Sun Hang suddenly remembered who the person in the oil painting outside was.

That was Countess Lee Kester in the European legend. It is said that in order to stay young forever, she has been bathing in the blood of pure girls.

Every time she took a shower, she would kill two girls and bury their bodies in the basement of the bathroom.

…

So, the reason why those young women disappeared was to feed this gorgeous "demon flower"?

"Is it a strange thing?" Sun Hang turned his head and looked at 0401 and asked.

"Of course it is..." 0401 said with a bitter face, "Serial number Ding 37, 'Bloody Mary', more than ten years ago, it was its appearance that caused most of the South City Development Zone to become a ruin... Why is it still alive? Hasn't it been dealt with by the Investigation Bureau?!"

"It's just a flower, can it really destroy most of the development zone?" Sun Hang was a little confused.

"It was actually people who destroyed the South City Development Zone." 0398 continued what 0401 said, "The thorns of Bloody Mary are all over the streets and alleys, and have penetrated every building with living things, wantonly absorbing all the flesh and blood it can touch... In order to completely eliminate it, the Xiazhou Federation had to airdrop a large number of napalm bombs to the South City Development Zone, burning Bloody Mary and the blocks it occupied together."

"So that's how it is... No wonder many of the ruins we passed by just now have traces of burns." Sun Hang nodded, "So, this thing is afraid of fire?"

"No ...It's not the 'Bloody Mary' from more than a decade ago." Captain Huang's voice sounded, "That 'Bloody Mary' has been burned to death a long time ago. I also participated in the operation that year. I watched it turn into ashes with my own eyes."

"Then what are we seeing now?" 0401 waved his arms hysterically, "It can't be my hallucination? !"

"Seeds, it's seeds... The 'Bloody Mary' left its seeds back then." Captain Huang murmured, "The seeds of 'Bloody Mary' need blood to germinate, and now..."

And now, it has bloomed.
