A hunting adventure [unlimited]

Huang Tian paid off, one of the shattered pottery clay he threw finally hit the man in white on the head, and hit the man in the middle of the eyebrow, causing the man to tilt his head and lean back, almost unable to stand still.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the gunman rubbed his forehead to get rid of the dizziness and pain, and couldn't raise the gun, Yu Zhen shouted "Run!", and quickly ran to the vending machine with his legs—

Sparkling drinks, beer, bread, jelly, gummies... the colorful packaging bags dazzled him.

Never mind the food!The elevator is behind!Ahh...how do I open it?

Du Yu's voice sounded just right: "Enter the password on the interface for selecting the product number: 3017."

Yu Zhen stretched out her fingers and entered the four-digit number on the touch screen window against time, and then a yellow smiley face popped up on the screen, with the words: Congratulations on clearing the level.

——How do you know the password?

Du Yu: "When you are working hard, I am not idle. This is a game room, and everything is always the same."

——You are reliable!

The vending machine is actually a movable door. After entering the correct password, it opens with a sound, and an old-fashioned elevator appears in the wall.

Du Yu: "Be careful behind your back."

Yu Zhen quickly turned around and threw the last two pieces of broken clay in the direction of the gun!He doesn't need to aim, he only needs the gunner's reflexive dodging action.

Grabbing the opponent's sideways to avoid the moment when he couldn't shoot, Yu Zhen pressed the door-opening button of the elevator and dodged into the door!

He stood in the corner and waved to Sapphire who was hiding behind the cartoon bear, "Come in!"

Yu Zhen's series of actions were swift and clear, and when she saw him waving to her, Sapphire was still in a daze for a moment; she didn't even see what he did, so she didn't remember to listen to the password and run after him.

With hope in sight, Lan Yu gritted her teeth, rushed out of the cover of the cartoon bear, and ran towards the only way out!

Inside the elevator there are three floor buttons 1, 2, and 3, but there is no key to control the opening and closing of the door. Yu Zhen saw Lan Yu running, and the elevator door was about to close—he took a step forward and blocked the door with one hand, sensing an obstacle The door of the object opens automatically.

As a result, his figure left the blind spot and was exposed to the gunner's field of vision and shooting range; the man in white didn't intend to let him go easily, and raised the barrel of the gun to aim at his arm——

Yu Zhen shouted to the door: "Remember, the elevator password is 3017!"

He couldn't risk a bullet to save the rest, hoping they'd get here on their own.

Du Yu: "Stop!"

Yu Zhen withdrew her hand as if awakened.

Then a pair of delicate and white hands grabbed the elevator door instead of him, Lan Yu arrived, her chest puffed up with her breath, and she forced a smile at him, "Thank you..."

A shot goes off!

Yu Zhen stood inside, and all the sounds of the amusement park seemed to be isolated from the outside. He seemed to have heard gunshots, but he didn't seem to.

What he could clearly see was that the clothes on Sapphire's chest were soaked with blood, and the dazzling scarlet smudge spread.

The smile on her face froze, her eyes were wide open, her sweat-soaked temple hair stuck to her cheeks, her complexion was rosy and fresh, she fell down...

Yu Zhen stretched out his hand subconsciously to help him. He hugged his still warm body, dragged him into the corner of the elevator, and checked the pulse of Sapphire's neck with his hands.

She is dead.

The door was closed, Yu Zhen pressed the floor button, only the third floor was lit, and he took the elevator down with Sapphire's body.

Yu Zhen leaned against the wall in a daze, the blood stained on the abdomen of his clothes was as bright as red ink spilled.

Du Yu: "Forget it, life and death are destiny."

Yu Zhen scratched his head, he had no idea, let alone anything to say, he just felt it was sudden.

Du Yu: "Don't worry, I will help you."

—Can I escape?

Du Yu: "As long as you want."

——Like a nightmare.

Du Yu: "It's just a nightmare."

Arriving at the third floor, after a "ding", the elevator door opened.

Outside was a corridor, which was different from the corridor he had walked through before, with lights on and no decorations; he had no conditions to properly dispose of Sapphire's body, so he could only carry her out and put her by the wall.

There was a pool of blood on the floor of the elevator, and the door closed again.

Yu Zhen was alone, walking quietly in the corridor.He didn't know if anyone was watching him. If there was another gunman now, he would also join the ranks of "life and death".

But after all, he walked 20 meters without incident.

At the end of this road is another horizontal corridor, with six rooms lined up, with no stairs or obvious exits. For a moment, Yu Zhen didn't know where to go. He felt numb and stopped doing multiple-choice questions.

Du Yu: "Go to the middle one, there is something inside."

— Do you see through eyes?With the door closed you know there's something inside.

Du Yu: "I heard it."

——Then can you hear where the fire exit is?

Du Yu: "Which door should it be behind?"

--nonsense.

Yu Zhen doubtfully pushed open the door of the middle room. The lights inside were dim, and the layout was crowded and cramped. Because things were piled up too much, it gave people an overwhelming sense of oppression.Not a playground anymore, more like a storage room.

The stench of reptiles and rodents mixed with the musty smell of old newspapers hit the face. Yu Zhen covered her nose and walked in, not daring to close the door.

The size of the room is not small, with alloy shelves of the same size standing against the walls on all sides, and large glass jars are stacked on top of the shelves. When he took a closer look, the bottom was covered with black snakes.

There are more than a dozen non-poisonous snakes in a tank. The non-poisonous snakes of various colors curl up or elongate their bodies, slowly raising their heads and twisting at the bottom of the tank. The cool and slippery scales cling to the glass. Light.

Yu Zhen was not afraid of snakes, but still couldn't help but get goosebumps.

The bottom of the shelf is the iron cage, the noise of the whole room comes from them, swarms and groups of chirping mice.Apparently bred to feed snakes.

These crawling tanks and mouse cages were cleaned frequently, but they were placed too densely, and the smell made Yu Zhen want to cry.

Du Yu: "The scale of this breeding is not small, it should not be a personal interest or ornamental object."

——Raised to eat snake meat?

Du Yu: "If it wasn't for opening a restaurant, according to this amount and eating method, the whole family would have died of parasite infection."

—Which family?

Du Yu: "There are photos on the table over there."

It turned out that there was a small space of a few square meters behind the row of shelves directly facing the door, and Yu Zhen went around to the back and paused.

Countless old papers were pasted on the wall, and the text content included but not limited to news, social commentary, case analysis, photos, as well as copied book pages and printed video materials... it covered the entire wall as tightly as wallpaper.

A table by the wall is stacked with books as high as a mountain, and the pens and inks are arranged in a mess. A photo frame is placed on the corner of the table. If anyone touches it lightly, it will fall to the ground and shatter.

Yu Zhen picked up the photo first, it was a complete family portrait with faces, 11 people, the girl standing in the front was the younger Si Ya, she braided two braids, her cheeks were round and full, her smile was as sweet as peaches.

This photo was taken earlier than the one Du Yu got, and every family member is smiling happily and contentedly; this is the expression on the faces of people who have a harmonious relationship with their relatives and live a prosperous life.

This family doesn't seem to have any perverted and anti-social qualities...

In the family portrait, there are four men who look the same age as Si Ya, two young men, one teenager, and one little boy.But according to Lan Yu's recollection, Si Ya only said that she has two older brothers and one younger brother; they are: the normal elder brother, the demon that scares her, and the normal younger brother.

The extra peer is probably her cousin or cousin?No, it might be the little uncle.

First of all, it is best to recognize the younger brother, the little boy who sticks close to Siya; but the three elder brothers are quite troublesome. There are some similarities.

The resemblance must be his own, and this young man's age cannot be the eldest son...

It doesn't matter who is the big brother!Because the second son is the "devil" that Si Ya said!

Yu Zhen almost stared at the photo, unbelievable, this demon looks too innocent, there is no congenital disability...

Du Yu: "Don't judge people by their cover."

Yu Zhen: This is not the strangest thing about me.The group photo you took before didn’t have eyes. I’m not 100% sure. Now that I’ve seen the complete photo, I’m sure. The frog heads and hunters we met along the way are not in this photo.

Du Yu: "Well, to kill my rabbit head, I took off his mask, and he's not in the photo either."

Yu Zhen: So they are not Si Ya's family members at all.

Du Yu: "That's the hired person."

Yu Zhen: It's understandable to hire security guards, but where can I hire a group of NPCs who are not afraid of death and dare to kill?They are an organization with division of labor and planning.At first, I guessed that they were Si Ya's relatives and wanted to avenge her, because only blood relationship and religion can maintain this kind of blind and crazy collective behavior.But they are not blood relatives, so what kind of interests and motives govern their actions?

Du Yu: "Maybe they enjoy it. There are many people with bad tastes in the world. Sometimes it's not for profit, maybe it's just for fun."

Yu Zhen: Wait a minute.

He shifted his gaze to the news headlines pasted on the wall.

"What are these things..."

***

Yu Zhen read the densely packed small characters pasted on the wall at a glance. It was a social news report 25 years ago, telling about the heinous crimes committed by a serial killer named "Snake Face" during his one year of illness.

Simple paraphrase:

Snake Face is male, a surgeon by profession, and is very famous in the local hospital. He has never been married, adopted many orphans with congenital disabilities or autism, and is a well-known doctor in the town.

But such a man of high moral character suffered from an incurable disease in his middle age. The modern medicine he believed in could not save him, and the good deeds he did in the first half of his life did not bring him any blessings; so He began to collect a large amount of ancient witchcraft materials and the methods of longevity recorded in the folk culture of various countries.

Later, he got a book of witchcraft from a medieval bookseller, which mentioned a kind of "reincarnation"; the inventor of this kind of magic was the believers of "Dai Meng God", who believed that snakes were the evil god Dai. The messenger of Meng has the mysterious power to prolong the lifespan of mortals.

Believers raise a large number of snakes and sacrifice their fallen lives to evil gods in exchange for "reincarnation".

The so-called reincarnation technique is similar to the legendary "grabbing the house". The believer serves the snake spirit messenger in order to live forever. When the sacrifice ceremony is completed, the believer's soul will leave the existing body and transfer to the newborn or other people , causing it to take on another person's identity to be reborn.

In order to reincarnate, the snake mask killed 27 people in a row within one year of being diagnosed with cancer. The dead were all teenagers and young people aged 15-30.

The first whistleblower was his neighbor.The neighbor said that for nearly half a month, he often smelled the rotten stench coming from the yard next door, and the doctor who lived there had not shown up for two months, and the children who usually played in the small yard had disappeared; one morning, the neighbor tried to He knocked on the door desperately, but no one answered, and the doors and windows of the whole house were locked, so the neighbor immediately called the police.

After the police arrived and broke in, they found out that the house was empty, and the orphans adopted by the doctor were locked in the attic. They lived with countless snakes day and night, and had been deprived of water and food for more than a week; because there was no food, the children had to He ate raw snake meat, drank blood to survive, and was in a dying semi-comatose state.

The attic was filled with the smell of excrement, plasma, and rotting flesh, and even the police officers responsible for rescuing the children couldn't help vomiting.

In the basement of the house, a total of 27 corpses of different degrees of decay were found. After the autopsy and investigation of their identities, it was found that the dead were all missing persons in the surrounding area in the past three years.

The murderer had frozen the victim's body in the freezer, but when the freezer couldn't hold it, he discarded it in the basement at random, letting it rot and maggots; the water from the corpse corroded the floor and penetrated into the soil layer. The stench was unbearable, and finally attracted neighbors who couldn't bear it.

This shocking case set off a bloodbath in the local area. For the residents of the small town, the true identity of the murderer was really outrageous. He was a doctor they had respected and sympathized with. It is unforgivable to commit such insane and evil deeds.

A townsman found a photo of himself and the doctor when he was young, and said: I have long thought that he has a bad face, his eyes are thin and long, like a snake, and he really has a heart like a snake.

So instead of calling the doctor by his first name, they called him the "snake-faced killer."

The major case was solved, but the murderer disappeared.

When the neighbor reported the crime, the doctor had already fled and disappeared.

In the following six months, the local people were panicked, and many families moved out of the town overnight.

Five years later, a report was received in the Mengxing Lake area 6 kilometers away. A boating and fishing tourist caught a [-]-jin grass carp in a freshwater lake. human finger.

The salvage team took a week to salvage a waxy male corpse from the lake. After forensic autopsy, the deceased died of asphyxiation due to drowning. He was about 50 years old and suffered from bone cancer.

Through DNA comparison, the police found out the true identity of the deceased, who turned out to be the "snake-faced killer" who disappeared five years ago, the notorious femme fatale doctor who killed 27 people in a row.

According to the analysis of the autopsy report and some criminal psychologists who studied the case, the murderer should have committed suicide; his body was deteriorating day by day, and the "snake doctor" who was plagued by illness finally realized that magic could not save him, so he chose to jump into the lake to end himself s life.

……

After reading this, Yu Zhen's hairs stood on end.

Did they encounter a copycat?Or……

Du Yu: "I think he succeeded."

Yu Zhen felt a chilly wind pouring into his back, what does "he succeeded" mean?

Du Yu: "He really reincarnated into someone else's body through this method. What we met was not a copycat, but himself. He wanted to change his body again."
