Paintings of Terror

Qin Ci looked at Zhu Haowen with somewhat probing eyes. At this time, he was in the center of the office, and the other ten members were almost sitting around him.

Qin Ci cleared his throat and amplified his voice slightly: "About beasts, let me tell you a few things I have learned first: First of all, beasts are living bodies, and their relationship with human hosts is semi-resident, and it does not depend on the host's nutrition. Survival, the relationship between many beasts and their hosts is non-interfering, and even the beasts will not affect the weight of the host. In the last century in Xincheng, there was a girl who weighed less than 45 kilograms. Beasts up to 31 kg."

Everyone listened quietly, especially the few people who already knew that they had the story of the beast, their expressions were particularly complicated.

Only Xiao Qinxian's eyes gleamed, as if foreseeing that Zhichun and Chi Lei would have such a big "surprise" in their bodies.

Qin Ci poured cold water on Xiao Qinxian at the right time: "It was an extremely rare special case, so it will be recorded in history."

Su Ben wanted to ask the girl who stripped the giant beast from her body what she had experienced before, but it was not appropriate to intervene at this time, so she waited patiently for Qin Ci to finish.

Sure enough, the next piece of information that Qin Ci revealed was particularly exciting: "At present, the approximate location of the beast in Zhichun's body has been found out through testing equipment."

"There is still such a detector? Wouldn't it be able to see the beast in everyone's body?" Yu Ji couldn't help but say.

"The detector can only detect the beast inside the corpse, and it can only measure the approximate location, not the size." Qin Ci said sharply, "Zhichun's beast is located on the left wrist, I can't deduce whether this is a coincidence still……"

Lion exclaimed: "The place where he cut his wrist is the left wrist?!"

"Yes, it's right there." Qin Ci nodded, "We can't deduce whether he committed suicide or just wanted to kill the beast hidden in his wrist."

Zhao Yanbao's eyes that have been blurred all the time have some light: "I have always expressed doubts about Chi Lei's suicide. Even if the motive is removed, there are many doubts. Just now I discussed it with Mu Yiran. Suicide is very difficult to carry out. No one can do it. The heart stopped voluntarily without the help of external force-she died as if she was in a deep sleep, and the forensic doctor did not examine the trauma and suffocation."

Mu Yiran: "If the guess is correct, Chi Lei's beast should be in the heart."

"You mean, they didn't commit suicide, but were killed by the beast in their bodies?!" Yu Ji's expression was extremely frightened.

Zhu Haowen's voice was low and clear: "This is in line with the style of the painting."

Yu Ji looked at Zhu Haowen as if he was looking at a monster. The more he thought about the possibility of the beast attacking the host, the more afraid he became.

At this time, I suddenly remembered the urgent knock on the door, and a nurse pushed the door anxiously: "Doctor Qin! Zhichun's body has changed..."

"What's going on?" Qin Ci hurriedly asked.

"The wound on the left wrist seems...something is overflowing..."

Everyone is not calm anymore, Qin Ci has stood up and walked towards the door: "Prepare for the 'beast body stripping operation' immediately!"

……

If it weren't for these bizarre experiences, the operating room everyone was waiting for would have been perfectly normal - bright corridors, closed operating room doors, and a striking word 'quiet' on the wall.

About an hour later, a nurse came out of the operating room, and several members surrounded her with expectant expressions of 'maternal family members': "How is it? What's the situation now?! Are you out? Are you out?! "

It seemed that the "joy of life" was being performed in the operating room, although the "dead man" who had been stiff for nearly seven hours was being pushed in.

The nurse frowned: "The main body has been separated, and now the connected branches are being separated."

It sounds like you're untangling the umbilical cord.

Xiao Qinxian asked with a happy face: "How many catties? How many catties?!"

"Sorry, haven't weighed yet."

Xiao Qinxian's smile hasn't faded yet: "Then let's wait a little longer, don't be in a hurry."

The nurse looked at the badge on Xiao Qinxian's chest: "Are you a staff member of the cosmetology and mortuary room of the Forensic Medicine Department?"

"Yes, I'm a forensic doctor." Xiao Qinxian felt that her profession was quite good in Xincheng.

"Then trouble you to start making preparations for the coffin. The burial period for the dead should not exceed three days, especially the remains that have been stripped from the animal body, which are particularly perishable." The nurse said seriously.

"Oh." Xiao Qinxian's face paled a little, and he hoped that the beasts weighing more than 13 kilograms could be stripped from the bodies of these two people, so that he would no longer have to engage in the terrible work of "makeup and embalming".

Making a wedding dress for a dead person is scary and unknown when you think about it.

It has been half an hour since Dr. Qin walked out of the operating room. He was holding a small glass bottle in his hand. There seemed to be something like blood in it, which seemed to be still moving.

Everyone was a little scared, but their eyes were involuntarily attracted by the red thing, and their eyes kept circling on it.

Only Ke Xun walked over to take a closer look, and saw a slug-like red mass of flesh wriggling slowly in the glass bottle. When Ke Xun observed closely, the "slug" seemed to have noticed his gaze and turned back. He turned his head towards Ke Xun and stretched out a few soft tentacles.

Ke Xun hurried away, feeling very uncomfortable.

"I have dealt with it, and the next step is to hand it over to the police station." Qin Ci was still wearing a medical mask, which made people feel that this person was as cold and ruthless as a medical instrument. "After weighing, the animal's Weighs 26 grams."

Everyone was silent, and there was a bit of hatred in their eyes.

Xiao Qinxian gasped and leaned softly on the rest seat beside her.

"Is the thing that the beast overflowed just now a common phenomenon?" Mu Yiran asked Qin Ci.

"No, it's probably because the beast inside felt the air in the wound, so it came out along the 'vent'." Qin Ci said, "The beast left the shell in the blood vessel of the deceased, and it took a lot of effort just now. Just got it out."

"Shell?" Wei Dong interjected, "Does the beast still have a shell?"

"This beast has it. The shape of the beast is varied, and it has never been the same. It is said that there are cases where the weight is not considered because of its good appearance." Qin Ci looked down at the worm-like beast in the bottle, "Its The shell has been taken for testing, this kind of beast with shell is very rare."

Xiao Qinxian stood up from the seat again: "Can the weight of the shell be counted in it? Is that shell big? Is it heavy? Can such a rare one be counted as more weight?!"

When Mu Yiran heard this, he raised his eyes thoughtfully.

"The shell is not big, about the same as a snail shell." Qin Ci replied.

"..." Xiao Qinxian turned to look at Zhao Yanbao, "Do you have the heart to see Chi Lei's body filled with this disgusting slug-like thing? This kind of dirty thing should be taken out quickly, or she will die with regret."

Zhao Yanbao didn't want to talk to Xiao Qinxian.

"I've already made my statement, you guys discuss it slowly." Zhu Haowen turned around and walked towards the bathroom.

"I agree to take the beast, and I have expressed my opinion." Wei Dong followed Zhu Haowen into the bathroom.

Xiao Qinxian cheered up again: "I, Lion, Yu Ji, plus that building, there are already four votes in favor! Now it is four to one! How about you?"

"Let's stop talking here and go back to the office first." Qin Ci took off his mask and walked towards his office.

Xiao Qinxian followed the group: "Aren't you really embarrassed to talk about taking the beast, but waiting for the beast to overflow by itself is simply waiting for the rabbit! If you are all embarrassed, then abstain!"

After entering the office, Xiao Qinxian began to look at the people who didn't express their opinions one by one: "Boss Su, Doctor Qin, the two criminal policemen, and this foreigner, what do you mean?"

"I would like to ask Mr. Yu a few questions first before making a statement." It was Mu Yiran who spoke.

Yu Ji listened attentively: "Please go ahead."

"What did Zhichun do last night, or what did he say to you, even if you only remember a few words."

Yu Ji scratched his head: "I really don't remember what happened after I went back to the dormitory, I seemed to be drunk and crazy, and my roommate seemed to sing along with me."

Qin Ci: "I checked some information in the office first, and you all fell asleep after returning to the dormitory."

Su Benxin: "I seem to hear singing, like a children's song. I heard my little niece sing it before, and it seems to have lyrics like snails running."

Yu Ji himself can't remember: "I really can't remember what happened after returning to the dormitory. I just remember that when I was walking back from the restaurant, Zhichun stopped at the door of a real estate agency and asked the staff about this. City prices."

"Why? Does he still want to settle in this ghostly place?!" After Xiao Qinxian finished speaking, she felt a little horrified——Zhichun really "settled" here.

Yu Ji nodded: "He complained to me about the house prices in the previous world. He said he waited for the price to drop until his girlfriends were gone, but he still couldn't afford a single house."

Everyone sighed for a while, and there was a feeling of waiting for a person to suddenly understand his life after his death.

"If that beast has a shell, it looks like a snail?" Mu Yiran asked Qin Ci.

Qin Ci nodded: "Looking at the appearance of the shell, it should be, but it's a pity that I couldn't see the state when the beast and the shell merged."

Mu Yiran turned his gaze to Zhao Yanbao: "Perhaps the beast is the embodiment of a knot in the heart. If you want to understand Chi Lei's thoughts, you have to take out her beast."

Zhao Yanbao was thoughtful.

In the bathroom at this moment, Weidong looked at Zhu Haowen from the mirror of the sink: "Unfortunately, I can't see the red spot on your forehead, are you not afraid?"

Zhu Haowen smiled: "If I die, you will ask Qin Ci to dissect me immediately, and I also want to know what kind of beast is in my body."

"I think you are different from usual."

"how?"

"When I first met you, you were in the tube building of Chunsun Apartment. When you were fleeing for your life, you were the first to rush out alone. , "Why are you not so instinctive today?"

"You mean about my abstention?"

"Yes, you are sympathizing with Zhao Yanbao, or Chi Lei."

"impossible."

"Anyway, your heart is softened, don't say that the three of you have been together for a night and you have feelings for each other."

"They are lovers." Zhu Haowen answered irrelevantly, "Because that third-tier city rejects this, they can only hide it from everyone."

"Oh, I understand." Wei Dong seemed to understand.
