Nightmare Card House

After Mu Yuxin finished her lunch, Fang Tian went back to the card hall to find Jace to recover.

After chatting with Jace for a few words about what happened today, Jace didn't take it to heart. He just said that he knew about it and would convey it to Cui Minghui when Cui Minghui came back. He wouldn't bother him about the next thing. .

"Team Leader Liao has launched an investigation. What will happen if this matter is related to the card hall?"

Fang Tianduo asked.

Jace looked at Fang Tian again and said with a smile: "In the card hall, everything is carried out in accordance with the card hall's predetermined rules. Once we leave the card hall, we have no right to interfere."

Listening to Jace's words, Fang Tian seemed to have some realization.

After resting for a while in the card shop, Fang Tian was ready to go home as the sky gradually darkened.

At this time, in a hay shed somewhere on the outskirts of the city, the special investigation team was making final finishing touches.

Qin Yue followed Captain Liao and was too late.

Entering the hay shed, the bloody smell that hit his face made Qin Yue feel the urge to vomit.

A detective team member came up and glanced at Qin Yue, then handed a blood-stained notebook to Captain Liao, "Captain Liao, the deceased has been confirmed. He is Lin Han, an alchemist apprentice registered with the Alchemy Association. We found him. The contents of the alchemy notes recorded before him are similar to what you might guess. The first two disappearances were committed by the alchemy hybrids he raised. Since the alchemy hybrids must devour humans to survive, Lin Han wanted to..."

"I understand, it's another human body refining incident." Captain Liao took the notebook and nodded to the investigator, "This is not the first time that the Alchemy Association has caused such trouble."

"Yes, and it seems that we have uncovered something extraordinary this time." The investigation team members agreed.

"Where's the alchemy body?"

"We were a step late. Judging from the on-site inspection, the Alchemy Body took advantage of the chaos to kill Lin Han and escape. The people from the action team had already chased him immediately."

"Send more people there and we must find it."

"yes!"

The environment here is extremely bloody and full of bloodstains. A long iron chain is dragged out from the corner of the wall. It seems that something was once imprisoned and locked here. The ground is covered with bones left after human beings were bitten to pieces. On the bones Still standing with flesh and blood, Qin Yue resisted the urge to vomit and followed Captain Liao.

Captain Liao probably noticed Qin Yue's pale face, took a general look at the hut and then went out.

"call!"

After leaving the hayloft, the fresh air outside finally made Qin Yue feel better. The environment in the hayloft just now made her almost vomit.

Captain Liao stood behind, lit a cigarette, and teased, "What? You can't stand it anymore? You still want to join the crisis investigation team?"

"I'm sorry! Captain Liao! I won't do it next time. I can still hold on." Qin Yue refused to admit defeat, took a few breaths and recovered, "Uncle Liao, what is the alchemy body you just mentioned? I I can’t understand it at all.”

"You haven't been exposed to these things, so it's normal that you don't understand them."

Captain Liao exhaled a long puff of smoke as he spoke.

Most of the matter has been dealt with here, and the remaining work is just to find the escaped alchemy body.

"Have you ever heard of alchemy?"

The endless investigation these days has finally come to an end. I can take a breather. Captain Liao relaxed a little and continued: "Human alchemy is one of the highest levels of alchemy. In theory, after successfully completing the alchemy, you can Resurrection of the dead.”

"What? Can even dead people be resurrected?" Upon hearing this, Qin Yue looked unbelievable.

"Well, but this is only limited to theory. In fact, I have never seen a successful precedent. Let's just talk about theory. The ingredients of human body alchemy to resurrect the dead are two steps. The first step is to make the container, and the second step is The step with the highest failure rate is soul refining.”

This is a field that Qin Yue has never been exposed to before, "Soul refining? Will there be a soul after death?"

"Well, I won't talk about the refining of the container. Let's talk briefly about the soul. After a person dies, the soul will be pulled by a special force and go to another place called the other side. For most people, that other side is hell. , Of course, in this process, the soul will gradually lose its power and dissipate, and most of the souls that actually reach hell are already broken. "

Seeing the confusion on Qin Yue's face, Captain Liao knew that he had said too much, so he simplified the process and said directly, "This theory is actually very complicated. Simply based on my understanding, roughly our suspect this time Lin Han used alchemy to forcibly pull back part of the deceased's soul from hell by relying on some kind of object that was closely related to the deceased, and then used alchemy to refine it again and infuse the soul into the container to achieve the purpose of resurrecting the deceased."

Qin Yue's face suddenly turned pale.

"So, the alchemy body you just mentioned is actually a resurrected human being?"

"No, he is not a human. He has become a kind of monster. The risk of soul refining is extremely high. No one knows whether the soul brought back from hell is still the original person. In good cases, the summoning may fail. , if you are unlucky, you might even be able to pull out the souls of some hell monsters.”

Qin Yue's heart was beating fiercely, and she hurriedly asked: "So where is the suspect this time? What did he summon?"

"His luck is very good." Captain Liao shook his head, took another puff of cigarette, and continued: "From the records in his notebook, he succeeded halfway. He successfully recalled part of the soul of the dead who had fallen into hell. Unfortunately, that soul has been polluted. He has fallen into hell and become a hellish ghost."

Liao Mou sighed and continued: "This soul does have some memories before death. At the same time, this soul also has the habits of hellish ghosts, that is, devouring souls. Therefore, it will eat people. This is the instinct of evil ghosts. What he really wants to eat is not people, but the souls of people."

Hearing this, Qin Yue shuddered again, and she felt a chill on her back.

Liao Mou said: "So that thing is no longer human, it is more appropriate to call it an alchemical hybrid."

"You mean, there is an evil ghost living in its body?"

"Well, you can understand it this way. It is an alchemical container occupied by a hellish evil ghost. The hellish evil ghost will become extremely weak or even die after not devouring souls for a period of time. From the records in the suspect's notebook collected not long ago, due to the corrosion of the soul, the alchemical body killed two ordinary people. Later, Lin Han found that the situation was not good, so he imprisoned the alchemical body here."

"It's a pity that the alchemical body has some memories of the soul, which makes Lin Han unable to kill it. Seeing that the alchemical body is getting weaker day by day because of the inability to eat, Lin Han, who has evil thoughts, even personally finds food for the alchemical body, which caused the recent series of disappearances."

Listening to Captain Liao's narration and thinking about what he had just seen in the thatched house, Qin Yue felt nauseous, "Were all the missing people eaten by the alchemical body?"

"Well, no wonder you can't find any clues. After all, the criminal is an alchemy apprentice, and it's easy for him to clean up the traces." At this point, Captain Liao exhaled a long puff of smoke, "It's a pity that Lin Han was able to successfully complete human alchemy alone. He is actually very talented in alchemy."

Qin Yue is more concerned about the problem of the alchemical body, "Then uncle, now that the alchemical body has escaped, isn't it very dangerous?"

"Indeed, although the strength of the alchemical body is about the same as that of a strong ordinary person, his existence will indeed cause a lot of panic. My people have already gone after it. We have a special way to sense the location of the alchemical body, so it won't be a big problem."
