Chapter 43: Enough Saloch!
It’s another day at work.
Caroline clearly felt that Mr. Langdon seemed a little preoccupied today.
‘Is this a difficult situation?’
Caroline thought to herself, moving more cautiously for fear of disturbing Mr. Langdon.
In fact, Li Shenzhi did have something on his mind. He was thinking about how to collect materials for making resurrected corpses.
In his previous life, as a senior sea monster, well, a sea monster who surfed the Internet, he was also well-read and had the expertise of many experts. There were only a few methods of purchasing that required concealing his identity.
Either find someone to purchase on your behalf;
Either they purchase indiscriminately and cover up their true purpose.
The former is easy to be followed;
The cost of the latter is too high, and it is easy to attract the attention of interested people if purchased in large quantities.
In short, both have advantages and disadvantages, so Li Shenzhi is wondering which method is better?
How to do it specifically?
In his thoughts, he instinctively finished his breakfast and went to work.
"Good morning, Mr. Langdon."
Ms. Renee at the front desk is as youthful and energetic as ever.
Li Shenzhi nodded in response and pushed towards the door next to him.
"jingle--"
The crisp sound of the bell came, and Li Shen subconsciously glanced at it. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the bell seemed to have rang before he even opened the door.
what is this?
Already frightened out of your psychological shadow?
Li Shenzhi smiled mockingly to himself. When he passed by the magic mirror attached to the wall, he glanced subconsciously. Well, everything in Langdon's mirror was as usual.
As usual, he first went to Inspector Pine's office to report, and then went to the shooting range to practice shooting.
When he arrived at the shooting range, after receiving the shotgun and revolver at the gun collection area, he immediately found an unmanned target lane and concentrated on practicing.
The first thing to practice is naturally the quick filling technique.
However, when he started filling it, he suddenly froze.
His movements became unfamiliar and stiff, as if he were touching a shotgun for the first time.
Li Shenzhi was shocked and felt a little strange.
Could it be that Langdon's body was beginning to decay and was losing muscle memory?
This thought made his heart sink. He subconsciously switched the shotgun to his left hand, and his expression suddenly became strange again.
The familiar feeling of a gun suddenly appeared in my left hand.
He suppressed the uncertainty in his heart, held the gun in his left hand, and loaded the ammunition with his right hand. He performed a series of movements smoothly. It may not be as fast as Pine, but it is not much different.
However, Li Shenzhi was stunned after completing this move.
How did he become...left-handed overnight?
Even the muscle memory is automatically transferred to the left hand?
He glanced around subconsciously.
At this time, there were not many people at the shooting range. Most of the security guards went out on patrol. Only a few clerks who tried to transfer to the field came to practice shooting during the break.
As far as I can see, everyone is holding a gun in their right hand and assisting with their left hand.
It can be seen that left-handers are relatively rare.
Li Shenzhi took a slight breath and returned the shotgun to his right hand. The strange feeling appeared again.
"Is it cursed? Or is there something wrong with the connection between body and soul?"
While thinking, Li Shenzhi tried the revolver again.
As expected, he became left-handed.
Now he was no longer in the mood to practice shooting.
I fired a few hasty shots, thought about it, and then left the shooting range.
Along the way, his thoughts were very complicated.
With his poor occult knowledge, he couldn't figure out what was happening in front of him?
He wanted to seek help from Inspector Pine.
I am also afraid that this is a sign that the seizure is out of control. If Pine notices it, he will fall into a trap.
After much deliberation, I could only go to the archives room, intending to look through the ghost-related information to see if I could find any records of body snatching.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the lobby on the third floor, he saw Inspector Pine walking out with a serious look on his face.
"Mr. Langdon, you're here just in time. I want to ask you something." Inspector Pine saw Langdon, his expression changed, and he walked over.
"This is my honor, Mr. Payne." Li Shenzhi said.
"Do you still remember Mr. Eliot who encouraged you to investigate the mysterious evil god?" Inspector Payne asked casually.
"Mr. Pine, you must have remembered wrongly. His name is Eliot, not Eliot." Li Shenzhi corrected him, the strange feeling in his heart getting stronger.
"Oh, look at my memory. Yes, Eliot, do you remember the content of the book he gave you before he died?" Pine asked again.
Li Shenzhi's expression became solemn, and he asked tentatively: "Mr. Payne, what's wrong with this?"
Pine looked into Langdon's pale brown eyes, a glimmer of certainty flashed in his eyes, and he was about to speak.
"Clang!"
There was a sudden sound.
The door to the Public Security Department on the third floor was suddenly knocked open, and two security guards walked in carrying a man covered in blood with his head hanging down.
"Where is Mr. Langdon?"
As soon as the visitor entered the house, he shouted.
The eager shouting instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.
After hearing this, many people subconsciously looked at Li Shenzhi.
"...I'm here!" Li Shenzhi said, "What happened?"
"We were attacked by the Mothman. Sheriff Richard was infected with the Mothman poison. He said... it has rotted to the heart. I'm afraid only you can save him!"
The security guard looked anxious.
At the same time, the bloody man being held up by the security guard struggled to raise his face, revealing a face half rotten and leaking pus.
"Ah!" "Ah——"
The moment he raised his face, frightened screams suddenly came from the hall.
Several female clerks looked at Richard with horrified faces and subconsciously took a few steps back.
Richard, who only had one eyeball left, glanced at the frightened female clerks with a look of ridicule on his face.
——A group of damn women who dislike ugliness but prefer beauty.
"... Langdon, use maggots to eat the carrion on my body... please -"
Charlie stared hard at Langdon, making an urgent plea under the pressure of death.
Few people know that creepers have the ability to debridement.
That is, by controlling maggots to eat the necrotic and rotten parts of the patient's body, this can not only prevent the infection from worsening, but also promote the formation of granulation structures.
Even if the necrotic part of the patient contains highly toxic substances, the creeper can achieve a one-for-one effect by discarding some of the maggots.
And this is what Richard wants.
At this time, what he was infected with was the Mothman poisonous powder.
The ulcers caused by this powder corrode from the outside inward. Through maggot debridement and vampire blood, the effect is excellent.
"Mr. Richard, you should understand that Mothman powder has a curse effect."
Li Shenzhi whispered.
Sheriff Richard, who was dying just a moment ago, suddenly turned red and screamed when he heard this.
"So what if there's a curse? You're a creeper, you can cut off the connection between maggots at any time! Are you going to watch me die?"
Anger made half of Richard's rotten face become more ferocious and terrifying.
"I understand, you are deliberately asking me to die so that you can take advantage of my inlay and be promoted to Sheriff, right?"
"Colleagues, please open your eyes and take a look at this selfish guy! Look at his pathetic face full of lies and excuses. How can the Sheriff's Department allow such a despicable and shameless beast to exist?"
The sharp accusations echoed in the security hall, earning increasingly weird and ridiculous looks from everyone.
"That's enough, Saroch!!!"
Li Shenzhi narrowed his eyes and scolded angrily.
As soon as the voice fell, everyone in the hall looked over.
Chapter completed!
