Chapter 61: The Black Fever Insect X Injects Blood Vessels

  He muttered to himself, saying: "Those three years, I always treated you like a son. But I couldn't let you go bad and keep killing people, do you still remember when you were young every time you misbehaved, I would use this thing with chili water to cover your face? Now, I have to use it again."

  Chen Haixuan took out a red handkerchief and spread it out in his hands. I finally understood why people said at the Leigong Hotel that using a red handkerchief could shock the double-faced baby. In fact, the red handkerchief shocked was the vice face.

  Chen Haiyan stepped closer to Qing Jiang, the double-faced monster on Qing Jiang's shoulder stared at Chen Haiyan motionlessly. The eyes of the secondary face suddenly widened and gave a sinister smile towards Chen Haiyan, pounced on Chen Haiyan's head, grabbed Chen Haiyan's rotten flesh with his hands, and tore it apart piece by piece. Chen Haiyan fell to the ground in pain.

  I ran over and stood in front of Qing Jiang, protecting her. The twin-faced freak baby went crazy, tightly clamping Chen Haixuan's neck with its feet, tearing off a piece of flesh and throwing it to the ground, then going on to tear off a second piece of flesh. Chen Haixuan couldn't bear the pain and let out a scream.

  Then, the two-faced baby suddenly stopped moving.

  I saw the two-faced baby's main face with its eyes wide open. Then, its left and right hands were attacking each other.

  I know that now good and evil are vying with each other, sometimes evil gains the upper hand and sometimes good gains the upper hand. It's one body but it seems like two irreconcilable enemy sides fighting each other, rolling rapidly on the ground as they fight. But I think it's not good because I can see that the secondary face is gradually gaining the upper hand again.

  At this moment, the vice face suddenly screamed and then the double-faced monster baby smashed through the glass window, jumped up, turned around abruptly, and said a sentence: "Dad, thank you for saving me that year... sorry..."

  Then, it jumped out - in the process of falling, it tightly hugged its body, like a cabbage shrinking into a ball, and then heavily smashed onto the cement floor, the cement floor cracked open with several fissures, while the Double-Faced Baby's body was also smashed to pieces, the two faces connected to its head were torn apart...

  ……

  And so, the story of Shangyuan Village and Xiayuan Village in the entire Leigong Mountains came to a slow end with the conclusion of the Double-Faced Monster Baby's fall.

  The next day, I had to return to Long City. Before leaving, I went to say goodbye to Qing Jiang. Qing Jiang said she would take her sister's ashes back to Xiayuan Village and would not go to Long City again. She looked at me, smiled faintly and said: "Thank you, I will remember you."

  I gazed at the green ginger in the morning light, with a thousand words to say but unable to speak them. I could only bid her farewell with a wave of my hand. I also went to the seventh floor to bid Chen Haixiang farewell, in his cramped quarters filled with the smell of formaldehyde, he treated me to a cup of medicinal wine.

  He said: "I won't go back. Actually, the big fire that happened to me that year, I knew it was caused by a cigarette butt thrown in by the villagers of Xiayuan Village. So, after I was rescued and came back, I found that I prefer to deal with dead people, compared to living people, they will not intrigue or harm people, and will not constantly harm people for the sake of interests..."

  After hearing his words, my mood became even heavier. After taking a 6-hour drive back to Long City and then taking a taxi back to Wu Xie Society, Huier Lan and Chen Qiuyang didn't wait for me at all, they used all the time that wasn't theirs to go out and do part-time jobs.

  Zou Guanjia also seemed to be as usual, without showing excessive enthusiasm, and said lightly: "The kitchen has simmered the sea bottom coconut stewed pork dragon bone soup, go down the fire, you can serve it yourself."

  I had no appetite at all, and went back to my room to sleep with my head covered. I slept drowsily, sometimes seeing the snot worm in the Leigong Inn room, sometimes seeing three wooden stakes and three skeletons, sometimes seeing the double-faced baby opening its mouth to scream, sometimes seeing the waiter Zhu Huiling lowering his head to write on his mobile phone, sometimes seeing Hongmei and Qingliang, and sometimes seeing Qingjiang sitting in a clump of dogtail grass, bowing her head and sobbing gently...

  It's been three days like this, I've written out a report of the investigation this time, and then paid attention to what Rouran and I said those few days.

  As expected, after dinner today, when I returned to the inner room to rest, I suddenly saw a man in all green clothes and sunglasses coming to find Zou Guanjia. Zou Guanjia handed over the report he had made about me to the other party, then took out a notebook and the man in green clothes took out a seal and stamped it on the notebook, and this time he even stamped two seals. When I saw those two green snake seals, I felt a sense of familiarity.

  I suddenly remembered the 8-character symbol I saw on the last page of Zhu Yueling's notebook, which I had always thought was an 8-character word. But now it seems to be a symmetrical pattern formed by two green snakes. This plunged me into confusion: what is the connection between the Green Snake organization and Zhu Yueling's ghost burial notebook? Why does Zou Guanjia have to hand over our case reports every time we investigate, and stamp them with a green snake logo?

  I really want to run out and ask Zou Guanjia immediately, but I have already made a deal with him: anything he doesn't want to tell me, I must not ask. All things will be told to me naturally when the time is ripe.

  So, I could only suppress my strong curiosity. I went back to the room and took out Zhu Huiling's notebook from my luggage bag again, looking at those strange line patterns carefully again, but still couldn't see any clues. Moreover, looking at these lines for a long time would make me dizzy and have a headache.

  Four days later, I went to Longcheng Central Hospital again because of a cold. Coincidentally, I ran into Ruan Defeng, who invited me to his office for a chat during lunch break.

  "Those children infested with Bettis worms are undergoing surgery in our hospital and I believe they will recover soon."

  "You're really a very good person."

  "It's just a trivial matter, but the things you encountered on Leigong Mountain, I've read about them in the newspapers. Alas, sometimes it feels quite helpless. Human nature is so complex, if everyone could be simpler, there wouldn't be so many tragedies in this world."

  "In fact, I still have many questions that cannot be answered. What is the two-faced baby? And what about the 20-month pregnant baby? Now, looking back, it's still unbelievable."

  "In fact, this situation can be explained clearly in one sentence in our medical field: This is a miracle in the medical community."

  "Well, at first, human nature is good, at first, human nature is evil, actually they are about the same, the key lies in the environment."

  "So as human beings, we should have good intentions and treat everyone around us with kindness. This way, one by one, it will spread out and those evil factors will slowly disappear."

  "Doctor Yuan, what are these?"

  I saw on Ruan De-feng's desk a white paper with many curved lines drawn on it, I don't know why, but looking at these lines, I suddenly thought of the line patterns drawn in Zhu Huiling's notebook.

  Ruan Dewei picked up the white paper and said, "These? This morning a parent brought a little boy to see a doctor, and the little boy was bored and scribbled on some medical pictures in my book."

  "Can I take a look at that book?"

  "Of course, it's this one. But I don't think you'll be interested in reading it." I took the book and opened it to take a look, and was shocked to find that there were some colored pictures inside, which were diagrams of the human body's blood vessel routes, with both large and fine lines, twisting and turning, like a web or a leaf. And I clearly remembered that Zhu Huiling's notebook about ghost burials had drawn those route maps on it, most of which were these blood vessel route maps.

  Is this a coincidence or was Zhu Xueling originally drawing blood vessel route maps on his notebook? Or is there a third possibility, the geographical route maps recorded by Zhu Xueling are exactly the same as human blood vessel route maps? This is simply impossible.

  Ruan De-feng saw me staring at the blood vessel route map in a daze, and smiled: "The blood vessels of the human body are more complicated than the most tortuous maze in the world."

  Speaking of blood vessels, I remembered the parasitic worms in Kui Rulan's blood vessels and told Yuan Defeng about Kui Rulan's affairs.

  "Blood vessels have parasites, it's actually quite common. It's just that the situation of being parasitized by this kind of leech is relatively rare. For example, Plasmodium, Leishmania, filarial worms, Ascaris larvae, eggs contaminated food, hatching in the intestine and entering the bloodstream, then from the throat back to the intestine to develop into adult worms; Trichinella. Eating food containing Trichinella capsules, after gastric digestion, releasing larvae in the duodenum, developing into adult worms, after male and female adult worms mate, the female worm burrows into the intestinal mucosa and produces a large number of larvae. The larvae travel through lymphatic vessels or veins to the right heart, lungs, then circulate throughout the body to reach all organs, tissues, and body cavities, finally developing into adult worms in skeletal muscle."

  Ruan Feng paused for a moment, then continued: "If you want me to explain the situation with Ruo Lan, I think these parasitic worms weren't entered through the mouth, but were forcibly implanted into her body."

  "Force it in?"

  "Let me put it simply, you should have been injected with IV fluids when you were sick? If the leeches are mixed into the IV bottle and then injected into the bloodstream - but how do these leeches survive in the blood? You need to know that human blood is not stagnant, it's circulating through various organs."

  "It seems that Aoi Wakana has gone through some things in the past that she doesn't want to recall, and since she doesn't want to remember them, I won't add to her suffering."

  I took two sips of tea and bid farewell to Ruan Defeng.

  After leaving the Longcheng Hospital, I looked at these people coming and going, dressed in bright clothes, rushing past, with a kind of bewildering confusion, feeling that these people were not real. They were like the fast-forwarded figures in movies, flashing by quickly, their shadows becoming transparent, pulling out a long gray shadow. Only I was moving at a normal speed.
