The East District, as a famous nightlife center in Venice, has all kinds of bars and leisure places in Venice. After visiting the beauty and long-standing culture of the water city during the day, having a drink and dancing a dance without any rules here at night is also the best pastime.
Unfortunately, since six days ago, it has become increasingly difficult to do business here at night.
Because every day, as the standard, when the sun goes down, two young and beautiful women will mysteriously disappear. And in the daytime of the next day, the bodies will float back to the city from the sea along the river. The death is so horrible that it is hard to look at it directly. The rumor of the devil killing people spread like wildfire. But the government is trying hard to suppress the spread of such rumors. After all, in a city that relies on tourism, spreading such rumors is not much different from suicide. If the tourists are really scared away, Venice will starve to death without the devil's help.
Citizens all know this truth, so they are reluctant to talk about such a terrible thing with their children. They just remind them to go home before the sun sets.
Reina's father lacked such advice, because both his home and Reina's school were far away from the area where the disappearance occurred. But accidents often happen when they are unexpected...
In this bleak night, the only place that doesn’t mind the lack of tourists is probably the Eastern Police Station Mortuary. After all, they only care if there are too many bodies…
Sitting in the deserted hall, two policemen on duty were bored, some surfing the Internet or reading books.
Venice's unique geographical environment made it impossible for the police station to be built to be so huge that it could accommodate all the branches, and many departments had to be scattered on the surrounding independent islands. Of course, the place with the least police force was the morgue, after all, guarding the dead was much easier than guarding the living.
Although they have to deal with dead bodies, this job is recognized as the best position in the entire Venice Police Department. Not only do they not have to go out on patrol, they don't have to write a lot of reports or complete the required tasks by themselves. It can be said to be extremely easy. If these two policemen did not have smooth connections at home, they would not have been able to get this good job.
Unfortunately, after tonight, they may wish they had never put on a police uniform...
The door of the police station is always open, proving the police's obligation to protect the public. So Xu Zhe, dressed in pajamas, walked into the deserted morgue without any hindrance.
"I'm sorry, we don't accept police reports here. If you have any questions, please go out and turn left. You will see the main police station in about 300 meters. There are also police on duty there 24 hours a day..." The reading police officer explained politely that this is also part of the job.
Because some tourists are often unaware of such things and often come here to report crimes, giving directions has become the most common "official language" used by police officers.
But when the police officer saw Xu Zhe's appearance clearly, he became confused again...
"No, I'm not here to report a crime, but to solve a case. Zhe's calm face proved that he was not joking, "Take me to your morgue, I don't have much time to waste..."
"Are you here to cause trouble? Only corpses can enter the morgue. You'd better die before you go in!" The police officer on the side stood up with an angry look on his face, as if he had lost more than 50 points in the online card game just now because of Xu Zhe's mischief.
With a "whoosh" sound, before the angry policeman could react, a shiny object slid across his face, passed through his epaulettes, and nailed firmly to the blackboard behind him.
With cold sweat dripping down his face, he tilted his head slightly and found that it was actually a utility knife? There was also a clear bloodstain on the side of his face, and the bright red liquid was slowly sliding across his face.
"You?!" The police officer was about to shout, but he suppressed his voice because he saw the man in front of him take out a blue utility knife from the tool bag on his waist and push the blade into the air with a click.
"Please treat me as a 'dead man' and let me in. What do you think of my suggestion?" Xu Zhe's question coupled with his empty pupils was a perfect threat in itself.
The other police officer looked on in shock, his shaking hands instinctively moving towards the phone on the table.
"Actually, I just need someone to help me open the door. Do you understand what I mean?" He just glanced at the police officer with the corner of his eye, and his hand, which was still moving towards the phone, naturally turned to pick up the key. "You learn quickly. Help me lead the way."
Xu Zhe followed the police officer quietly like a visiting guest.
"Right." As if remembering something, Xu Zhe stopped and walked back to the police officer who was still nailed to the wall. "Actually, you should have played three first."
"Really?" He instinctively lowered his head to look at the screen, but was suddenly punched hard on the cheek. The police officer fainted before he could react.
"I was just kidding." Xu Zhe's tone didn't sound like an apology. He casually pulled the knife off the wall, and the police officer fell to the ground without support.
Turning around, Xu Zhe walked to the police officer who was leading the way.
The guy was secretly glad that he picked up the key in time, otherwise he would have turned to the wrong page when reading.
The morgue is not as big as one might imagine. It is located behind a wall separated from the lobby.
The entire room, which is no more than a hundred square meters, is filled with an indescribable chill. This is not an effect that can be achieved by air conditioning, but a chill that comes from the depths of the soul.
Opposite the entrance door is a huge silver-white metal cabinet with rows of square metal doors. Each door has an identification card inserted and a lock, with a detailed number and date of death marked on it. Just like the Chinese medicine in a Chinese medicine pharmacy...
When people come here, they are no longer human beings, but just corpses...
"What...what are you looking for? There are dead bodies everywhere..." the police officer at the side asked tremblingly, hugging his cold arms.
"I just came to ask them something." Xu Zhe didn't look like he was joking.
"Looking for questions from a dead body?" The police officer felt that he had met a madman today.
"Help me open a cabinet. There is a body floating back from the river recently." Holding the knife in one hand, Xu Zhe's words at this moment sounded like an order.
Reluctantly holding the key, the police officer's face twisted uglier than a bitter gourd. After all, he had seen that disgusting thing frequently recently, and every time he saw it, he would not want to eat for a whole day. Although he had not been a policeman for a long time, he had seen many corpses. But none of them was like the recent female corpse, as if it was thrown into a pack of wolves and torn apart.
"Open it yourself..." After opening a cabinet, the police officer didn't even want to take a second look. He naturally moved aside and covered his mouth and nose with one hand as if avoiding poisonous gas.
He walked to the counter and pulled it hard. The platform like a matchbox slid out, and the cold air rushed out with the twitching movement. On the cold aluminum table lay a cold naked female corpse, with holes all over her body, which was particularly terrifying. Although her eyes were closed tightly, she must have died with her eyes open, right
Xu Zhe had seen her before. Her body was salvaged from the bridge when he was returning home yesterday.
"I want to know where you died. Tell me." Regardless of whether the person lying there was as cold as ice, Xu Zhe asked his own question. "I don't have time. Please tell me quickly." The utility knife in his hand rotated, naturally leaving a wound on Xu Zhe's index finger. He gently hovered his finger in front of the female corpse's head, and the condensed bright red blood beads slid through the air and fell into the female corpse's mouth. Just like pure sodium meeting clear water, the corpse suddenly twitched violently.
The police officer standing by was completely dumbfounded. All the common sense he had learned could not explain this strange phenomenon.
"Ah!!!!" With a horrifying roar, the corpse suddenly sat up, expanding its jaws to the limit. Its four canine teeth seemed to have been injected with growth hormone and instantly grew to the size of a wolf.
"Give me your blood!" Turning her head to look at Xu Zhe who had woken her up, the woman's eyes were more terrifying than that of a hungry beast.
Unfortunately, her request was not accepted. Not long after she sat up, she lay back down on the cold table. Because a sharp utility knife pierced through her chest and even pierced through the aluminum platform under her body, nailing her to the table like a coffin nail.
Before the police officer could fully understand what was happening, the cabinets around him began to shake. The loud banging sounds were like the demons in hell were eager to be released.
"Don't just stand there and watch. If you don't want to be dismembered, do what you can." Xu Zhe reminded softly. The police officer closed his eyes helplessly, gritted his teeth and rushed towards the cabinet, focusing on the one with the loudest impact.
"Let me go! Let me go!" The woman struggled fiercely, but could not break free from the restraints on her chest.
"Answer my question, where were you killed?" Xu Zhe asked the question he wanted to know again.
"I'm going to kill you! Give me blood! I want blood!!!" The woman opened and closed her mouth meaninglessly, imagining that she was biting the fresh carotid artery. She felt as uncomfortable as a fish out of water.
"Whoosh!" With a loud noise, Xu Zhe swung his arm and pierced the aluminum table with another utility knife along the woman's neck. The cold metal seemed to calm the woman down a little.
"Stop wasting my time, forget your instincts, and answer questions like a human. If you still have some hatred towards the guys who hurt you like this, tell me where they are?" Xu Zhe said almost gritting his teeth.
"Dream... Dream Bar..." After calming down for a while, the woman trembled and said a place name. Her four white canine teeth were still terrifying, but her eyes were filled with tears that did not belong to a vampire. "Please... please kill me... I don't want... I don't want my mother to see me like this..."
"Thank you..." Without looking at the woman's pleading eyes, Xu Zhe tilted his knife slightly and used force. The sharp blade that was nailed to the woman's carotid artery easily cut off the woman's head. The bones on the neck were cut off together...
The poor woman can finally end her monster life that has not yet begun...
Suddenly, the policeman who was still holding the cabinet flew more than three meters away and fell heavily to the ground.
One after another, the locked cabinets slid out by themselves, and the corpses full of holes began to move one by one.
Nothing can excite them more than the stimulation of blood and the roar of their companions.
"Give me your blood!" A girl standing on the platform shouted and begged.
"Damn it, I have to kill demons before saving people..." He pulled out two art knives from the aluminum plate in frustration. Usually, they were only used by Xu Zhe when he was painting. I guess even Xu Zhe himself never thought that he would use them to kill demons one day...
Looking at everything in front of him, the police officer was completely shocked and couldn't believe his eyes.
