Cannon Fodder Collection [Comprehensive]

The full name of Sarah who sees the big black dog that no one else can see is Sarah Foster. She is the director of a leading advertising planning company in Maryland. According to her colleagues, she suddenly became enlightened ten years ago, and she repeatedly produced works that made people shine. Before that, she was very ordinary in all aspects.

Reminiscing that she now sees a big black dog that no one else can see, the whole thing becomes clear:

Sarah Foster made a deal with the devil.

This kind of demon is generally a crossroads demon. Humans on both sides of the transaction put the black cat's bones, cemetery soil and their own photos into a box, and bury them in the center of the crossroads to summon the crossroads demon.A human being who makes a deal can get whatever he wants, at the price of ten years later, the hellhound driven by the demon of the crossroads will take his soul to hell.

That is to say, traders can exchange their souls for ten-year fortunes, prosperity, prosperity, high spirits, and so on.

"Let's go and have a look." Lin Ning was a little curious.

Nepenthes looked at her deeply, but didn't do anything else, just lay on her shoulder and wanted to go with her.

Lin Ning raised his eyebrows.

Sarah Foster was not at home, and according to her credit card records, she went to a hotel in Maryland that boasted a security system.Lin Ning drove there, and when he arrived at the floor reserved by Sarah Foster, just as the dust settled, the hellhound was dragging Sarah Foster's soul away.

Nepenthes: "Wow!"

It also jumped down from Lin Ning's shoulders, looked for a direction and moved its short legs.

The hellhound ran faster and disappeared in an instant, but it did not forget to hold Sarah Foster's soul tightly.

Nepenthes: "Hmph."

Lin Ning: "No."

So it came over so readily, didn't it actually figured it out, but wanted to strangle the hell dog in its stomach?

It was born from the same root, so why is it too anxious.

Nepenthes turned around.

Lin Ning raised her hands subconsciously, indicating that she didn't think about anything, she was just curious about what the hellhound looks like.In fact, it's nothing special, unlike they have seen three-headed dogs and swallow-tailed dogs. The only thing worth studying is that only certain people can see hell dogs, but the damage caused by hell dogs is It is tangible, as evidenced by the distorted door of Sarah Foster's rented room and the scratches all over her body.

This can be said that when the Hellhound is not seen by others, it is in another dimension that ordinary humans cannot observe. This principle can also be seen in other supernatural creatures, such as ghosts, ghosts, reapers, etc. .

This deserves further investigation.

Thinking of this, Lin Ning put the ball of Nepenthes flaring its teeth and claws on her shoulder, pretending to be like other guests or staff who heard the news, and pretended to wait and see. , and left as if nothing had happened.And for the dead Sarah Foster, in Lin Ning's opinion, if she knew exactly what the terms of the deal were when she traded with the crossroad demon, then she would get such a result now, which is entirely her fault. own business.You have to give something to get something, don't you?

But if the crossroads demon is hiding something, that's another matter.

It's not that Lin Ning has never dealt with demons before.

Just trying to find out which demon Sarah Foster was dealing with at the time, it will take some time.Speaking of which, this is an inconvenient place, unlike in the world of Liaozhai, where she has friendship with the underworld and can travel freely to and from the underworld, but now she doesn't even know where the gate of hell is.

On the bright side, no one here wants to suck her yang energy.

·

When Lin Ning completed the patent of the comprehensive culture method of tracheal stem cells, she was already studying at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and the school gave her a high degree of freedom, although the department Lin Ning chose was not her best performance of.Johns Hopkins University has set up comprehensive medical courses emphasizing scientific methods, combined clinical medicine with laboratory research, and established the development model of medical schools and affiliated hospitals, and has developed into a world-class hospital and medical institution. The hospital has consistently ranked first in the rankings of hospitals and medical schools in the United States for many years in a row. Here, Lin Ning feels like a fish in water, almost forgetting what kind of parallel world she is in.

On this day, Lin Ning learned that several cases had appeared in Johns Hopkins Hospital, which had never been seen before. The patients were all children. The symptoms at the beginning were similar to those of bacterial pneumonia, but their immunity soon The system began to be paralyzed, the number of white blood cells increased, and people became thinner day by day.

What's more worth mentioning is that the transmission mode of this unknown disease is within the family, but it is not transmitted to adults, but to brothers and sisters who are also children.

Lin Ning thought about it, and asked the White Queen to help them obtain their medical records. Later, in the name of clinical teaching, he went to Johns Hopkins Hospital to see those sick children.Now it can be confirmed that they are not suffering from some unknown disease, but their vitality is insufficient, as if something has sucked their vitality.

Lin Ning thought of something, took out his mobile phone and sent an email to Queen White.

"Hello?" At this moment, a charming voice sounded, and Lin Ning looked sideways. It was a woman with long black hair, blue eyes, and full red lips, which made her look extraordinarily charming.Even though she was wearing a very ordinary red dress at this time, because of her bumpy figure and the style she exuded, the ordinary became extraordinary. This is undoubtedly a very attractive woman.

Lin Ning didn't respond.

The other party didn't take it seriously, but walked from one side of Lin Ning to the other. Her black hair seemed to brush Lin Ning's cheeks as she walked, and the corners of her skirt fluttered like a butterfly flapping its wings: "I haven't seen Lin Ning before." But you, are you the new intern? But you look too young. Let me guess, are you a genius?"

Lin Ning's eyes darkened: "You are?"

"Isabella, sweetheart, you can call me Bella." Isabella said in a soft tone, "Why are you here alone? I thought you should follow some doctor to save lives."

Lin Ning stared at her intently, as if fascinated by her charm: "I'm not an intern yet, I'm just a medical student."

Isabella sighed: "But in my opinion, you are more like a confused little lamb. If I hadn't left, I might still be with you for a while."

Lin Ning sounded a little disappointed: "Are you leaving?"

Isabella said softly: "Yes."

"Okay then." Lin Ning felt lost, but fortunately, Isabella seemed to be very interested in her, and exchanged contact information with her, and then left the hospital in a hurry.After she left, Lin Ning became expressionless almost immediately. She wasn't quite sure that Isabella regarded her as her or him, but she was sure that there were hooks in Isabella's eyes, He still wanted to hook her soul away again and again.

Maybe not the soul.

This was further confirmed when she went to the home of the sick child and found a scorched palm print outside the window of their room, and that palm print was a completely boned palm print, like a dead branch.

After Lin Ning got home, he retrieved the information and told the White Queen, "It's a vampire witch."

This translation is not quite accurate, because this kind of witch does not drink blood.

Technically this is a Shtriga, from Albania, and legends about them go back to ancient Roman times.They feed on spiritual energy, life energy, which can be said to be vitality, and Shtriga's prey can be anyone, but they prefer children, presumably because children have stronger "spiritual energy".

They are very difficult to deal with, because they are immune to any weapons made by gods and people, but except when they are eating, when they devour the spiritual energy of human beings, it is also when they are most vulnerable. At this time, you can use the blessed silver Shot or buckshot kills them.

In Albanian folklore, after the child falls asleep at night, Shtriga will turn into moths, flies or bees and other insects to suck the life energy of the child, and then fly away, and unless they take the initiative to save others, the sucked by them It is difficult for a child to recover.

It's no wonder Isabella came to her, Lin Ning thought of this and subconsciously touched her own face.

White Queen: "Emilia?"

Lin Ning put down his hand: "I was just thinking that I would not meet anyone in this parallel world who wanted to suck my 'yang energy'. I didn't expect that I would be targeted so soon."

White Queen: "What are you going to do?"

Lin Ning: "Introduce the king into the urn."

She didn't have blessed silver bullets or lead bullets at hand, but this was not a problem. Lin Ning knew where such utensils were sold, and they would be delivered soon after paying enough money.In addition, Lin Ning also finally confirmed Isabella's identity. Soon after she came to Maryland, a scientifically indefinable case appeared, and the reason why she appeared at Johns Hopkins Hospital was because Her new boyfriend is a pediatrician in this hospital, and she often comes to visit her new boyfriend; in addition, she was also seen around the family where the accident happened. In fact, the families where the accident happened are all centered on her home .In addition, Lin Ning was sure that she was in the hospital at that time, and Isabella stared at her for a long time before coming over to strike up a conversation as if nothing had happened.

Going back further, Lin Ning also traced back to a newspaper in the [-]th century, which recorded that several orphans in an orphanage died of pneumonia, and Isabella was the nurse of that orphanage.

Generally speaking, Isabella is undoubtedly an Albanian witch.

So Lin Ning dialed her phone number and said shy words with a blank face: "I think when can we have a cup of coffee? Of course, if you are not free, just pretend I didn't ask."

The White Queen recorded silently.

Nepenthes squatted aside, watching her quietly.

Isabella on the other end of the phone smiled softly: "Don't be nervous, sweetheart, we can go have a cup of coffee, when do you think we can?"

Lin Ning said in an eager tone with no expression on his face: "Today?"

Isabella: "Sweetie?"

Lin Ning continued to be "dual-faced": "No, I'm just going to enter the laboratory with the highest security level tomorrow, where even a fly cannot fly out, so I only have time today."

Isabella over there said that she is not free today, but they can wait until she comes out of the laboratory before making an appointment. Lin Ning said blankly, "Okay then."

Lin Ning ended the call, and when he raised his eyes, he met the burning gazes of the White Queen and Nepenthes.

Lin Ning: "...what's wrong?"

The pitcher plant pushed its dog bowl away, indicating that it was a little bit hungry now.

Lin Ning: "..."

The White Queen said unhurriedly: "I was wondering why Isabella subconsciously used a beauty trick against you?"

Lin Ning thought for a while and said, "Have you been dazzled by your appetite?"

White Queen: "That sounds like a very reasonable reason."

Lin Ning always felt a little subtle: "Otherwise?" She looked down at her breasts after she finished speaking, there were no ups and downs, and considering that she was wearing a white coat at the time, she probably looked gender-ambiguous.

It's just that it's just a skin.

Well, is it the inner temperament?

Lin Ning doesn't think so. After much deliberation, it comes down to the fact that Isabella is dazzled by hunger and thirst, and she can guarantee that Isabella will come to the door tonight, and she can feel her pain through the microphone. "Hungry and thirsty".

Moon and night.

Lin Ning was sleeping peacefully on the bed, the breeze came in through the gap in the window, blowing the gauze curtains.

A fly that wasn't supposed to be there flew in through the crack of the window.

This fly is not quite the same as ordinary flies. Its eyes are slightly silvery. When it sees Lin Ning, who is full of spiritual energy, he can't wait to change into the original form to suck up the vitality. As soon as he moved, a not-so-big black figure jumped up and swept it away.

Albanian Witch: "?!"

Lin Ning jumped up: "Wait!"

The originally dim room lit up instantly, and the White Queen projected over later.

Lin Ning took a plate casually, and gave it to the little bug-catcher Nepenthes: "Spit it out quickly."

Nepenthes was a little bit reluctant, but obediently spit out the flies.

It seems that the Albanian witch who has gone through hell still wants to struggle to escape, but the window is closed tightly, and a cross made of pig bones is still there, which makes her trapped in a cage, unable to break out of the cage and leave. She had no choice but to change from a fly back to her original form.

If Isabella is fresh and bright, then her original form is old and withered, and her fingers are like dead branches with "dew" on them - the saliva of the pitcher plant.

Albanian witch: "..."

Lin Ning glanced at her and asked the pitcher plant, "Can you digest her?"

Nepenthes: "Hmph."

Lin Ning: "Don't worry, she will be on your plate soon."

Albanian Witch: "...!!"

This is completely different from what you said, right?

Next, the Albanian witch will have the same treatment as the previous shapeshifter. Even though she is immune to the weapons of God or human beings, what she encounters now does not play cards according to common sense at all, even if there is a pig bone Made cross.The Albanian witch could only spit out the vitality of the children she sucked this time with hatred, and then they were swallowed up, still in the form of moths.

The vitality returned to the patient's body automatically, and they would recover to health in a short time.

Nepenthes burped.

Lin Ning scratched its chin, and did not forget to give it a systematic inspection. After confirming that it was safe and sound, he let it lie on the carpet and enjoy it.Lin Ning sat back at the computer desk, but she didn't think about pulling out a trace of vitality to check it. It's hard to explain where it came from. She just held the cross made of pig bones with a slightly tangled expression .

Putting a cross made of pig bones at the entrance can prevent Shtriga who enters the room from escaping. This is an ancient way to prevent Shtriga. In addition, wrapping silver coins soaked in blood can also prevent Shtriga.Just a cross?This obviously has nothing to do with what Lin Ning met or believed in. She put the cross aside and said to the White Queen: "I remember that in this parallel world, Nordic gods and Roman gods all exist. .”

White Queen: "Are you thinking about the ancient Egyptian gods?"

Lin Ning: "Yes."

White Queen: "I can split the data stream to watch for signs of them, Emilia."

Lin Ning nodded. She remembered that one of the episodes of "Evil Power" she watched mentioned the Norse god Vanir, the god of protection and prosperity, who can bring health, vitality, wealth and protection to believers. They usually set up portraits, that is, scarecrows, on their own land, and require a living sacrifice of a man and a woman every year.In the episode, Vanir is attached to the sacred tree brought by the immigrants, and can control the scarecrow to protect a small town. Over the years, the townspeople in this small town lure passing small towns every year in order to continue to be sheltered. Tourists in the town sacrificed them to Vanir, even when they could not find the sacrifices, they turned their ideas on their relatives. It can be said that human nature has gradually been distorted at that time, and even most of the townspeople have no sense of guilt And a sense of morality, bent on thinking that they are for the whole town, and let such a reason become an excuse for them to kill.

Of course, at the end of the episode the scarecrow representing Vanir was burned and destroyed by the Winchester brothers.

It can also be seen from this that the power of many gods today is not as good as before.

Having said that, after Isabella disappeared, her new boyfriend called the police, and because her last phone call was with Lin Ning, Lin Ning was also questioned routinely by the police. They would never have thought that Where did Isabella end up.

Coincidentally, Dean was wanted for first-degree murder, and there were arrest warrants everywhere for a while.

Dean patted the steering wheel: "That's it!"

Sam comforted: "Dean, calm down."

Dean was still very upset: "Otherwise?"

Sam shrugged: "Otherwise, if you tell the police that you killed a ghoul, at most they will put you in a mental hospital instead of sending you to a normal prison."

Dean: "...fuck you."

Sam didn't say anything else, he just turned on his computer to see where they were going next, preferably out of state and out of state: "A man named Steven Hammers died at home in the state of Maryland , no fingerprints, no signs of a fight, eyes turned bloody, it looks like our business. Wait—”

"Ok?"

Sam looked at him: "Dean, do you remember Emilia Wood? It's the hunter we met in Richardson."

"What's wrong?" Dean asked.

"It turns out she's not just a hunter." Sam said and turned the computer screen to him, and Dean looked at it roughly and said, "So she's a scientist, but I haven't dated this type of girl before." Yes, if playing doctor and patient doesn't count," he said, giving Sam a "you know" look.

Sam: "..."

Why can anything be involved in that kind of thing?

Sam checked again and found that the state of Margeland was very peaceful recently, so there was no need for the two brothers to go there, so he browsed the news of other states, and soon found another thing that looked like their brother . "There was a cop, Walter Kelly, who came home from his shift and shot his wife, then put the gun to his mouth and blew his brains out, and just before the end of the shift he and his partner went to the Rose shelter So. I remember the place being recorded in my father's diary, and I think we should go and see."

Dean said there was no problem, but after driving the car for a while, he said abruptly, "Sam, have you ever thought about going back to continue your studies?"

"No." Sam thought seriously.In fact, since he knew that the deaths of his mother and his girlfriend were related to the supernatural creatures they were hunting, he never thought about going back to school. This was his own choice.

Lin Ning, who aroused the two brothers to discuss this matter, is still continuing her studies, but like the Winchesters, there are supernatural creatures everywhere. There is no shortage of ghosts and ghosts of all kinds.

After the Albanian witch came to the door, Lin Ning realized that she might have encountered a murder again when dissecting a corpse, because according to the description of the corpse sent, he died of a heart attack, but after the autopsy, it was discovered that his master The arteries were not clogged, and there was no problem with the person's heart, and there was no previous history of heart disease.

And when she made further observations, Lin Ning found a germ in the body that she had never seen before.

Now it's even more thought-provoking.

The author has something to say: The status of the dragon in "Journey to the West" is low, where is it not low?
