Plague Doctor

The cemetery where the crime occurred is located in Nantang Village in southern Dongzhou, only 15 kilometers away from Xuling Village where the Dead Skin Man appeared.

When the ghouls and dead-skinned people were connected, everyone felt weird.

On the overnight drive to Nantang Village, Gu Jun fell asleep in his chair, but because of his restlessness, he did not sleep soundly.

It's really ironic that the Dead Skin Man incident is just an F-rated file. However, the aliens that the Tianji Bureau has faced before are by no means the ones that would scare the hearts of those who know how to cast spells.

There are still many unanswered questions about the afterlife. He now knows that the tissue samples of the high-level black-robed and red-robed people have been tested for DNA. They are not related by blood, and they are all ordinary Homo sapiens. The head of the leader, the man in red, was dissected and nothing was found.

Ghouls... definitely exist, and they may have already appeared in Dongzhou...

The mountain road was rickety. It was around four in the morning when we arrived at Nantang Village. The sky was still very dark, but the tranquility of this mountain village had been broken.

Gu Jun, Yao Shinian and his party were not the first to arrive. Personnel from the Investigation Department, Operations Department and other departments had cordoned off the village and also controlled the cemetery.

At the meeting point on the road leading to the cemetery, there is also a mobile task force, the Demon Hunter Team.

"Ajun!" Uncle Dan's kind and hearty voice came, and Xue Ba's rough and loud voice also came: "Ajun!"

They were right in front. Gu Jun couldn't help but feel happy when he saw this group of acquaintances who had experienced life and death together. Everyone was fine.

However, Lin Mo, who lost his left leg, has retired from the team and no longer fights on the front line. He has returned to the scientific research department to work as a support staff.

Lou Xiaoning is still there. Although she is missing one right eye and wears a black eyepatch like a pirate, her experience of seeing indescribable visions is valuable enough for her to stay and continue to serve as the vice-captain.

Seeing Gu Jun at this time, Lou Xiaoning suddenly laughed and said: "Good boy, I heard that you are the captain of a new team, and I want to recruit you to join the demon hunter."

"Just a polished commander." Gu Jun was too embarrassed to mention the problematic team. When Wu Xianyu was around, he could point at her, but now he could only stare.

After everyone laughed and said a few words about the joy of reunion, they talked about the situation at hand.

Now, it is the Demon Hunter Team of the Mobile Task Force in Dongzhou that can best understand what Gu Jun mentioned about super senses, hallucinations, and ghouls.

"Ghoul." Xue Ba told the trivia with a stern look on his face: "You know, this kind of thing comes from Arab folklore. It is said that they have the ability to disguise themselves as other animals, especially hyenas, so According to legend, ghouls are human-shaped dog-faced creatures. They will trick unsuspecting people into the depths of the desert and remote places to kill and eat them. I’m not kidding, I’m serious.”

Gu Jun didn't doubt it, thinking back to those hazy ugly faces in the illusion...hyena? Can not remember……

But he thought of something and looked around, "Commander Yao, how is the police force here? If this is a ghoul trap, can we deal with it?"

"It should be no problem." Yao Shinian also didn't dare to be careless at all, "Heavy firepower has been deployed, and some combat vehicles are coming."

Gu Jun nodded, but the uneasiness in his heart did not dissipate.

Under the leadership of the head of Nantang Village, everyone walked towards the ancient cemetery. Although it was illuminated by temporary high-spot lights, it was still eerie.

Village Chief Chen Decheng was confused as to why there was such a big fight in the middle of the night. After all, only a few policemen came to take a look at the report.

But when talking about this matter, Village Chief Chen became furious!

Village Chief Chen was born and raised in Nantang Village. According to him, this is an ordinary village. Most of the villagers have the surname Chen, and almost all of them live in the same ancestral hall. The old grudges between Nantang Village and other nearby villages ended with the arrival of modern life. He really couldn't imagine who was so vicious.

"This is the old cemetery of our village." Village Chief Chen said, "A few years ago, the town said it would move it. Will we have to pay for it? How can we compensate if it ruins our Feng Shui?"

He said that now when villagers die, they go to the funeral parlor for cremation, and then erect monuments at the new cemetery.

This old cemetery contains ancestors who were buried decades ago.

Gu Jun was suddenly a little surprised. So the remains in the cemetery were already piles of bones. There was nothing rotten...

The roads in the old cemetery were all dirt and overgrown with weeds. He paid attention to his surroundings, but they were not where he imagined them to be.

There were five graves dug this time, and they all happened overnight.

"It's true..." Village Chief Chen didn't dare to say bad words in front of these leaders, so he was so angry that he couldn't say anything. "Even our grandpa's grave was dug!"

"Grandpa" was the head of the Chen clan hundreds of years ago. He was highly respected in Nantang Village and held a high position in the ancestral hall.

Grandpa's tomb has been repaired many times and is now a rather luxurious stone tomb. However, it was completely destroyed when it was robbed and excavated a few days ago. The villagers wanted to seek justice from the media, except for the broken coffin and scattered bones. It was tidied up and nothing else was repaired.

Village Chief Chen took them to Grandpa's tomb. Gu Jun looked at the messy surroundings and felt nothing special.

"Village chief, show us the others," he said.

"Oh." In Village Chief Chen's opinion, the fact that grandpa's grave had been moved was the whole story, and there was nothing else worth mentioning. But now I can only take them to see it. After looking at one place after another, the young Mr. Gu always said to go to the next place.

When we came to the fifth tomb that was dug, it was also the most severely damaged.

Yao Shinian, Xue Ba and others all saw something was wrong from the fallen stone tombstone. Xue Ba asked: "Village Chief Chen, what are the words on the tombstone?"

Gu Jun was also looking at the ancient tombstone in the mud. The inscription on it was a little blurry. It was not a foreign language, nor was it any common characters that could be recognized. It looked strange and dilapidated, hiding some unknown past. …

"This?" Village Chief Chen was also in trouble. "This tomb does not belong to our Chen family. It seems to be the tomb left by a foreigner in the past. I don't know for sure."

At this moment, everyone was refreshed. If it wasn't for eating corpses, this tomb might be the reason.

"Village Chief Chen, you immediately go and bring the village elders who know about it." Yao Shinian said solemnly, "The matter is very serious, and there is nothing we can do to disturb their rest."

Being carried away by a few strong men from the demon hunter team, Village Chief Chen didn't dare to delay. He immediately went to knock on the door one by one and pull out the village elders from their homes.

Not long after, Village Chief Chen and others came back with six village elders, four of whom could walk by themselves, and two who had to use wheelchairs and were pushed by their family members. The oldest among them, Chen Shuhuai, is 95 years old, and the others are in their 80s and 90s.

Only old people of their age still know some past events that have long passed away.

"This tomb belongs to Uncle Old Dog..." Chen Shuhuai said with a hunched back that this incident started when he was a child. His wrinkled face covered with age spots was a little excited.

Although he is 95 years old, Chen Shuhuai's thoughts and words are still clear. He speaks Dongzhou dialect and is translated into Mandarin by the village chief Chen.

"There was a war at that time, and I was still young. My family was fleeing the war. They were foreigners. At first, we didn't welcome them and drove them away. Later, my grandfather said that there was a war and we just let them stay. Oh, they worked. But when they regained their strength, everyone gradually accepted them. Their family lived in the village for decades, and then Uncle Gou died. They died and disappeared without a trace."

As everyone listened, Uncle Dan and Lou Xiaoning looked at each other a little bit. Gu Jun remembered what Xue Ba said and frowned and asked, "Why is Old Uncle Dog called this name?"

"Uncle Old Dog?" Chen Shuhuai said with emotion, "He looks very strange. Everyone said he looks like a dog, so they called him Old Dog."

"It's strange. Their family is very strange... they don't marry us, and they don't play tricks with us. The strangest thing was that time..."

Thinking of something, Chen Shuhuai's old face seemed to have complex confusion and fear, "You young people don't believe it, you don't believe it..."
