Another case of evil spirits at work

  I'm so angry I could slap myself right now, at the time I was only thinking of blocking the zombies, didn't expect to cut off my own retreat route as well, and now can't even find the reason why the zombies are coming back to life, can't find the reason means can't solve it.

  "Brother Jin, how did you guys deal with those zombies back then?" I asked Jin Haicheng.

  "They were scorched by flamethrowers, their skin and flesh all charred, before they finally stopped struggling."

  "Are they all charred?" I remembered something, if it's bone-based, even if the zombies are roasted, they will still move. Are those zombies all congenital? But congenital conditions are extremely rare, how can there be a dozen or so at once?

  "Jin Ge, did you guys perform an autopsy on those zombies later? Did you find anything strange?"

  Jin Haicheng furrowed his brow and pondered for a moment before saying, "Actually, those corpses were later taken away by people from a special department and weren't handed over to us for processing.

  To be honest, I once eavesdropped on people from that department chatting, and it seemed like they mentioned something about a bug.

  Jin Haicheng seemed to have thought of something and asked me if these zombies were poisoned by Gu.

  Actually, I had such a guess just now, but Gu sorcery is always used on living people. At least, the books Master gave me didn't record any kind of Gu that can be used on corpses to bring them back to life, which seems more like witchcraft.

  Just as I was thinking about it, the little doctor also weakly said that he seemed to have touched a worm in the corpse's mouth just now, and then he was bitten.

  It seems that I won't be able to escape, considering my master's understanding of Gu sorcery comes from the Hua Miao people, it's possible that the Hei Miao people have some Gu that can be used on corpses, and it's also possible that Master doesn't know about it.

  The zombie was getting closer and closer, but I noticed that its speed seemed to have slowed down a lot. Upon closer inspection, I saw that the stupid security guard was holding onto one of the zombie's feet and being dragged along the ground by it. This stupid guy really had guts, but fortunately for me, he reminded me of another idea.

  I had the security guard throw me that half bottle of Yulinquan liquor from the middle of the morgue, and then I asked Jinhai City for fire. According to what Jinhai City said, if the corpse was really infested with Gu worms, then this kind of Gu worm couldn't withstand fire. However, this half bottle of liquor was no match for a flamethrower, so it had to be used on the knife tip.

  Actually, the best way to deal with Gu insects is for me to release the Dragonfly and let it take a look, but as soon as I think about the Dragonfly flying into Uza's disgusting corpse and then flying back out of my mouth, I immediately dismiss this idea. Unless it's a matter of life and death, I will never do such a thing.

  Just as I was explaining to Jin Haicheng and Xiao Yisheng what to do, Ma Jian, who was facing us, also came to and got up dazedly.

  Ma Jian shouted, "Officer Ma, dare you crash into this thing again?"

  How dare you! Ma Jian retorted back at me.

  He gave me a thumbs up and then ripped off the latex gloves the little doctor had used to stop the bleeding, and the blood started gushing out again.

  。

  The little doctor was a bit silly and asked me blankly what I wanted to do.

  "Comrade doctor, have you ever gone fishing? We need you to be the bait this time." I said to him in as gentle a voice as possible.

  "I'll be dead, didn't you hear what the police officer said? That thing will bite through a person's neck." The young doctor was so scared that he burst into tears.

  It's really a waste of effort, I gave Jin Haicheng a signal.

  "Shut up! I'll protect you." Jin Haicheng understood, and intentionally put on a fierce expression: "Today either it dies or we die. If you're afraid of pain, I'll shoot you first and give you a quick death."

  The young doctor looked at the gun in Jin Haicheng's hand and finally nodded reluctantly.

  Actually, my plan was very simple. Since the corpse was so determined to eat the little doctor, I might as well grant its wish. We put the little doctor in a coffin on the bottom row, of course for safety's sake, with his head facing inward, and all the vital organs inside, at most it would just be bitten off by the corpse, not fatal.

  Then we closed the little doctor's cabinet, and the bloody smell couldn't come out. The corpse really walked right past it.

  "Pull it open!"

  Upon hearing my signal, the security guard who had been clinging to the zombie's leg yanked open the morgue drawer containing the little doctor. A bloody smell wafted out and the zombie stopped in its tracks, then turned around. Unfortunately, it couldn't see or bend down easily, so although it knew its prey was right in front of it, it didn't know he was at its own feet. The zombie could only stand there stupidly, stretching out its hands to grope about wildly, muttering incessantly in its throat.

  "Little horse!" Jin Haicheng shouted, and then they saw the two masters and apprentices rushing forward one after another. Ma Jian exerted all his strength and directly rushed into the arms of the corpse, while Jin Haicheng grasped the corpse's shoulders from behind and pulled it down.

  It seems like a lot of trouble now, but at the time it was just a blink of an eye. The corpse was knocked to the ground by two people, and the upper half of its body happened to lie in another empty coffin.

  After falling to the ground, it's harder to get up again. Moreover, it's now lying on its back, so despite its hands and feet flailing wildly, it can't get up for a while, giving us time to catch our breath.

  。

  I, Ma Jian, Jin Haicheng and that silly big mouth all pushed the mortuary cabinet violently into the room, then pulled it out again, and crashed it in once more. All we could hear was the loud creaking sound, the whole house was almost shaken by us.

  I reckon that after a few more hits, the zombie's bones would be broken at least a few times, and if it was bone-started, it might even be finished off. But the zombie continued to bare its teeth and pounce, and the howling sound it made grew sharper and shriller - could this thing actually get angry?

  It seems I still have to use the second plan, I bit open the cork of the wine bottle with one bite, and then poured all of it into that big blood hole in the zombie's belly, then ignited the lighter and set the wine on fire.

  "Boom"

  The flames rose up in an instant, and because I retreated a bit late, the flames licked at my hair. I could even smell a burnt smell, and my face felt some scorching pain.

  This fire burned, and indeed it had an effect. The corpse's limbs were wildly tossing about, its voice was hoarse from screaming, it was a truly miserable sight, as if it really felt pain. Can the dead feel pain? It's really ridiculous. But on Uza's already somewhat distorted face, the purple tendons were now bulging out, the muscles were twisted and deformed, making it look even more terrifying, I didn't dare to look at it much.

  The corpse probably howled for about five or six minutes, then its limbs suddenly dropped and stopped moving. At the same time, the flames in its abdominal cavity also went out, emitting a few strands of cyan smoke, accompanied by a burnt smell.

  Just as I thought everything was over, a corpse suddenly opened its mouth and a small cluster of black shadow flew out of it.

  "Be careful!" I was about to remind everyone to pay attention, but as soon as I opened my mouth, a small cluster of black shadow flew out of it. What is this if not a dragonfly?

  The worm in the corpse's mouth seemed to be very afraid of the dragonfly, and was chased by the dragonfly to fly around randomly, making a loud humming noise. However, the mortuary was completely sealed off, and the speed at which the worm flew was clearly inferior to that of the dragonfly. The two insects hadn't flown for many circles before they were caught up by the dragonfly.

  That wasp finally let out a sharp scream, then fell silent. After more than two minutes, it dropped to the ground with a thud. The dragonfly flew back in front of me, shaking and swaying. I didn't have time to care if the dragonfly was dirty or not, so I quickly put it back in my mouth and looked at the stunned people in the room with a serious face.

  "We owe our rescue to this insect, but it has a bad temper and is even more ferocious than the one just now. If you don't want to end up like that, then don't say anything."

  I pointed at Uza's lifeless body.

  Everyone took a look at the charred body with lingering smoke, and then they all shook their heads like a rattle drum.

  There was no mobile phone signal in the basement, and when we left the mortuary, it was already after 6:00 am. If not for the early cleaning worker who heard our shouts and banging on the door, perhaps we would have been locked inside for a while longer.

  Because of Jin Haicheng and Ma Jian's police identities, the hospital didn't give us a hard time. But I wasn't able to go home right away either, according to Jin Haicheng there was a set of formal procedures that had to be followed, so I, Xiao Yisheng, and that foolish security guard followed them back to the police station, where we were separated to make our statements.

  On the road, I found an opportunity to let Long Xia give the young doctor an antidote for the Gu poison, otherwise that kid would have lost too much blood and gone into shock.

  It wasn't until noon that it was my turn, and Jin Haicheng and Ma Jian took my deposition. I sat in the old position, giving them a wry smile.

  "Brother Jin, how should I put this?" My intention is clear to everyone, if I speak the truth, I'm afraid I'll be sent directly to a mental hospital.

  "Xiao Xu," Jin Haicheng smacked his lips, seemingly pondering how to explain things to me.

  "Just be honest with me, I've already communicated with the higher-ups about this case and it's been transferred to that department for handling. They can understand these things."

  I know that Jin Hai Cheng is talking about the mysterious department he mentioned before, and it turns out that there is actually a special department in the government responsible for handling mysterious cases, I was misled by those TV drama screenwriters.

  Jin Haicheng also said that the part of the story where he and Xiao Ma both had to make a report, so there's no need for me to say much more in my confession. What they meant was that they wanted to hear my personal views.

  I'm a bit puzzled by this, I'm just an ordinary commoner, why would those officials want to hear my opinions?

  Jin Haicheng apologetically told me that just now, when the people upstairs were talking to them, they asked very clearly about these details, and he had no choice but to explain everything from start to finish. Upon hearing what happened, the people upstairs immediately became interested in this young man who knew Taoist magic.
