Chapter 9: The Strange Fellow

  I stared at Wu Yingxiong in shock, this guy was too strange, what's even stranger is his blood, how could it have such an effect, wasn't the blood on his body human blood?!

  This idea surged in my mind, but I immediately shook my head and denied it. Although he was as cold as a stinky stone, I didn't find anything unusual about him; he couldn't possibly not be human.

  Looking at the trunk under his feet, it was no longer moving, and the blood on his wrist was still dripping down. I quickly handed him a roll of gauze, but when he reached out to take it, I saw that his hand seemed different from a normal person's.

  His fingers were very long, I had never seen such long fingers, half a foot longer than mine, and the tips of his fingers were somewhat flat, looking like a duck's palm at first glance.

  When I handed him a bandage just now, I accidentally touched his palm, and his palm was cool and scary!

  "Are you cold?" I asked him in a somewhat strange tone, now it's summer, although it's already late at night, but it's still very hot, and this guy is wearing all black clothes, logically speaking, he shouldn't be cold.

  He didn't say a word, just shook his head and bandaged the wound on his wrist with gauze.

  I wonder if it's because I lost too much blood just now?

  But at that time I didn't think much of it, and lowering my head to look at the box on the ground, I curiously asked him: "What is this thing?"

  Just now in the morgue, he told Captain Liu that these things are not human. From his tone, I can tell that he must know the origin of these things.

  After listening to me, he looked down at the ground with his eyes, remained silent for a while, and then said: "This thing is not human at all, I don't know where they came from, but I've seen it before, only I can't remember when and where I saw it. I'm a bit fuzzy about things that happened in the past."

  His eyebrows were furrowed deeply as he spoke, seemingly trying hard to recall something, but there was a hint of confusion in his eyes. From his expression, I could tell that he wasn't lying.

  "You... you won't have amnesia or something, will you?" I asked him cautiously after hearing his words, now I'm a bit suspicious that this stone-like guy's brain might not be working properly.

  "It should be." He fell silent for a few more seconds before speaking again.

  After hearing his words, I looked at him and suddenly felt a bit sympathetic towards this guy. Amnesia is something I've only seen on TV before, I didn't expect that he actually had amnesia, couldn't remember things from the past, it must be very painful.

  "You know magic, tomorrow we'll take action together." Just then, he suddenly said this sentence out of the blue.

  I didn't know what he meant, so I asked him: "What action, what are we going to do?"

  "Go find out where these things came from." He pointed at the boxes on the ground and said to me.

  Although I also want to figure out where these things come from and what they are, after hearing his words, I still feel a bit uncomfortable.

  I'm different from him and don't belong to that department, this matter has nothing to do with me at all. Moreover, I'm not familiar with the guy, there's no reason for me to help him. What makes me even more annoyed is that he was obviously asking for my help, but his tone didn't show any sincerity at all.

  This woman's head and that dead baby still haven't figured out what they are, this thing is very powerful, one careless move could cost your life. I glanced at Wu Yingxiong beside me, originally wanting to refuse him, but thinking that if it weren't for him tonight, I and Captain Liu would have been done for.

  I nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go with you tomorrow."

  When I agreed, this guy's icy face actually squeezed out a smile, but he clearly hadn't smiled in a long time, and this smile was even uglier than crying. It made my buttocks tighten up, it was that awkward.

  "This guy not only smiled at me but also unexpectedly said thank you."

  I was still a bit reluctant at heart, but after hearing this guy's thank you, I felt much more comfortable. Although we just met for a short time, I know that he is not a talkative person and belongs to the kind of person who can't say anything sincere, this "thank you" is already quite sincere from him.

  I've been tossing and turning all night, I'm so sleepy. It's been months since Master left, and his bed is already piled high with junk. Cleaning it up will take till dawn. No choice, I can only say to the cold stone beside me: "I have nowhere to sleep, tonight you and I will squeeze onto one bed."

  I originally thought that this stone-like guy would definitely be very disgusted to sleep with someone else in the same bed. Unexpectedly, after hearing my words, his eyebrows didn't even wrinkle once, and he said "Okay" before standing up, walking to my bedside, and directly lying down.

  This suddenly stunned me, and it took half a day for me to come back to myself.

  To be honest, at first I was worried that he wouldn't get used to it, but now seeing him lying on my bed, I'm actually a bit uncomfortable. Two big men sleeping together, somehow it feels a bit awkward.

  "Aren't you used to it? Or should I sleep on the floor?" He looked at me in a daze, with some surprise, and sat up in bed.

  I hastily waved my hand and said, "Get used to it, get used to it." Then I turned off the light, walked over to the bed and lay down.

  Two people squeezed onto one bed, it was inevitable that they would touch each other. I touched him several times, but what struck me as strange was that his body was also slightly cool to the touch, just like his hand, and much lower than a normal person's body temperature.

  "If you're cold, cover yourself with a blanket." Although I don't know why this guy's body is so cool on such a hot day, I still kindly reminded him.

  "I'm fine, just go to sleep." He said lightly.

  Although I'm still a bit weird, today is really tired enough, I didn't have much effort and fell asleep in a daze.

  I don't know how long it took, but I felt a chill on my chest, as if I had a stone in my arms. On this hot day, it made me feel very comfortable, and I couldn't help but hold it tighter.

  After a while, I suddenly woke up and opened my eyes to see a pair of pitch-black eyes staring at me, as deep as an abyss.

  Those eyes were very close to me, our faces almost stuck together, which scared me so much that I suddenly sat up. Only then did I realize that it was already daylight, and I didn't know how I ended up sleeping on the other side of him. The rock I was hugging in my dream turned out to be his body.

  I couldn't help but shudder, a chill ran down my spine, and goosebumps rose on my skin. I quickly asked him, "How did I end up sleeping by your side?"

  He saw the guy sitting up on the bed with an expressionless face, smoothing out the wrinkles on his shirt that I had pressed out, and said lightly: "I don't know either, you fell asleep in the middle of the night and ran over here, and hugged me for a whole night."

  After hearing his words, the cold sweat on my head immediately came down. I'm not very honest when I sleep, it's been like this since I was a kid, but I never thought that I would end up sleeping with a big old man for an entire night, this feeling makes me feel more uncomfortable than swallowing a fly.

  I quickly looked myself up and down, found that my clothes were properly on, moved my butt around a bit, didn't find anything out of place, then let out a long sigh, and somewhat awkwardly said to him: "This... sorry about this, I don't sleep very soundly."

  "It's okay, where is the bathroom?" The guy got down from the bed, put on his shoes and said in a light tone as if nothing had happened.

  I quickly pointed to the direction of the bathroom, watching him go in. The sound of water flowing came from inside, and I suddenly got up on the bed, carefully checked my body again, and found that there was indeed nothing unusual, only then did I feel completely at ease.

  I found that my chastity was still intact, and I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. What the hell is this all about? This time I've lost face big time! However, looking at that guy's expression, he didn't seem to mind at all. Does he actually like that kind of thing? I couldn't help but feel another chill run down my spine.

  But I also felt strange in my heart, just now in the dream, I hugged him and felt like I was hugging a block of ice, how could his body be so cool, is he really a stone!

  Just as I was daydreaming, someone knocked on my door with a loud bang. I shouted: "Coming!"

  He walked over and opened the door to find Captain Liu standing at the entrance, his eyes filled with bloodshot, clearly indicating that he hadn't had a good rest last night.

  I just wanted to tease her a few words, but he poked his head into the room and asked me: "Where is that expert?"

  I stepped aside to let him in and told him that guy was washing up, asking him to wait a moment.

  Captain Liu's face was a bit pale, he poured himself a glass of water as soon as he entered the house, and drank it all in one gulp. He put the cup on the table and said to me: "Damn it, I didn't sleep all night, and early this morning that thing was sent to the crematorium. As soon as it was put into the incinerator, it smelled so bad that it made us all vomit."

  I looked at Captain Liu's face, and that tone was definitely overbearing. At this time, he paused for a moment and carefully asked me: "Where did those two heads go?"

  I didn't say a word, I just pointed to the peach wood box beside him with my finger. Captain Liu was so scared that he immediately stood up and hid far away, daring to ask me: "Can this thing still move?"

  Looking at his frightened appearance, I found it a bit funny and said to him: "Don't worry, now they have been sealed by me, and after seven days, they will be refined inside."

  Captain Liu let out a sigh of relief, and at this time, Wu Yingxiong also walked out of the bathroom, took a glance at Captain Liu, and asked him: "Where was this woman's body found?"

  "On the barren mountain west of the city, we conducted a thorough search on site and didn't find any useful clues." Captain Liu immediately replied when asked.

  That place I also know, it's just on the west side of this city, a desolate mountain with dense shrubs and few people go there. In recent years, people have been saying that they've seen unclean things on the mountain, so basically nobody dares to go there anymore. When I was young, my master took me up there once, I remember that there's nothing else up there except for a dilapidated City God Temple.

  "Take us there." Wu Yingxiong's eyebrows slightly furrowed as he replied to Captain Liu.
