Faced with this thank you, Yingying really didn't know how to respond.
Zhou Ze waved his hands, too lazy to talk to this "silly boy" about anything else.
Ask directly:
"How did you turn your mother, and yourself, into this state
Answer well and cooperate, and I can let you and your mother go. "
Zhou Ze was too lazy to deceive them. He didn't have any moralistic complex, nor did he have the ambition to "clean up the world". Besides, drinking chicken blood and duck blood at home didn't seem like a serious crime, right
Otherwise, wouldn’t the “Jinling Duck Blood Vermicelli Soup” that is everywhere on the streets be a serious sin
“This… I… this… that…”
The man hesitated, as if he had some concerns.
Even at this point, he still hasn't made up his mind.
Zhou Ze leaned forward.
Turning sideways, she turned her ear toward the man.
road:
"What about your horse?"
"My mother, ever since the accident, I have been looking for a way to treat her. In the past few years, I went to all the major hospitals, but to no avail.
But a year ago, a group of people came to me and said they could help me cure my mother and make her recover, but the requirement was that I help them do something. "
"Work?" Zhou Ze lit a cigarette and asked, "What do you do?"
“Biological research.”
Zhou Ze frowned. "You mean, there is also their research institute here?"
Isn't this a plot from a foreign science fiction novel? And it's the kind of setting that's so common.
"There is no research institute, only a sanatorium, and it is not very large. Compared with the international cutting-edge laboratories, it can only be regarded as an ant nest. Even in China, the conditions are not very good."
"Is it... personal?"
"It's private. My job is actually to treat adults."
"Sir? To treat the disease? Who is Sir?"
“I don’t know, he always had his face covered, but I was bitten by him and my mother was bitten by him.
They say this is a recognition and gift of life, a kind of evolution…”
"Do you really believe this? These are just lines from movies that are so worn out."
“I didn’t believe it, but my mother really couldn’t hold on any longer.
Many years ago, when my mother was still conscious, she begged me to give up her, let her be free, and let her die!
She knelt in front of me, grabbed my hand, and begged over and over again, saying that she was in so much pain that she couldn't bear it anymore and would rather die.
But I refused because of my selfishness. I lost my father at a young age and I didn't want to lose my mother again. It was me who made my mother suffer so many more years.
I can't just watch her die, otherwise all the pain I've endured over the years would have been in vain.
Regardless of whether what he said was false or not, regardless of whether he really was deceiving me and using me, I had no choice. At least, he really made my mother become... become very... very..."
The man seemed to find it difficult to describe his mother's current condition with exact adjectives.
“Very energetic.”
Zhou Ze helped him describe it.
"Yeah, very energetic."
Boss Zhou looked at the time and it was almost seven o'clock. He thought for a moment and was worried that the night would be too long and he said directly:
"Take us to that place. Oh, by the way, if I kill all three of them, will it alert them?"
"It doesn't matter, because that adult can't leave. He has been there before I went there."
"Oh, okay."
"Lead the way, just take your car."
When the car drove out of the villa, in the bedroom of the building in front, Ah Hong, who was re-bandaging her wound, stood by the window and looked at the situation below through the curtains.
There was only a hint of loss on her face, and she herself didn't know what she was losing. Perhaps it was the helplessness and sadness after some seemingly beautiful bubbles were burst.
in short,
It's just pretentious.
Boss Zhou was too lazy to pay attention to these. He was not so idle as to have come all the way from Tongcheng, a ghost catcher, to Sichuan to care about the love life of a female ghost.
… …
After leaving the city of Dujiangyan, the car drove straight towards Qingcheng Mountain. Zhou Ze sat in the passenger seat and Yingying sat in the back.
"Do you think you are real vampires?"
Zhou Ze asked while looking at the scenery outside the car window.
The man shook his head. “In my opinion, this should be an infectious disease.”
"Um."
Zhou Ze remembered the scene where the three cosplayers’ bodies were basically hollowed out.
This infectious disease is similar to the feeling of taking drugs, which consumes life to get a sense of high.
In fact, for many people who are sick and dying, the probability of collective organ failure in the body is very low. In most cases, a certain lesion completely deteriorates, leading to irreversible consequences.
As for this kind of "vampire", Boss Zhou is not sure whether he is the original one, but from what he has seen so far, the vampires he has just come into contact with and killed are the kind that rely on "chicken blood" to sustain their lives.
Burning purely, but it will eventually come to an end.
Vampires are said to have very long lifespans, but here, Zhou Ze doesn't believe how long their lifespans can be after becoming vampires. It can only be shorter than that of ordinary people. However, it seems that it can solve the torture of certain diseases. For terminally ill patients, it can indeed "extend life."
"Have you ever thought about calling the police?" Zhou Ze asked with a smile, "For example, handing it over to the country?"
"They, they actually didn't do anything harmful. The seven or eight people in the nursing home all volunteered. When their lives were coming to an end, someone was willing to offer a way to prolong their lives, even if it was just for a few years, or even just for half a year. It was hard to refuse."
"Oh, so you want to drink human blood?"
"I don't have that kind of impulse. Chicken blood and duck blood are usually enough for me. Human blood is disgusting."
“So environmentally friendly?”
"Haha, I guess so."
"What were your specific responsibilities at that nursing home?"
"Cleaning."
“… …” Zhou Ze.
"I'm not lying to you, my job is really just cleaning. There is indeed a very simple biological laboratory there, but it has never been put into normal operation and use.
Because the adult said that the time had not come yet and he needed to wait a little longer.
I think that adult seems to have been trying to solve a defect, or shackle, in himself, and the sanatorium, including me, is what he prepared for himself after he solved the shackle. "
"Oh, then what do you think he wants you to do next?"
"Gene recombination, you know?"
Zhou Ze nodded.
I think he wanted me to help him do something like that.”
“It’s a very professional topic.”
Zhou Ze leaned back a little and said:
"By the way, do you know about the zombie incident in the last century?"
The man was stunned for a moment, glanced at Zhou Ze, and asked:
"You looked like a zombie when you were in my house before?"
"I'm asking you, not you asking me."
"I once suspected that my mother was the victim of that incident, but I didn't find out much about the details. I found an opportunity to ask that adult, but he didn't answer me."
There is no answer, not that I don’t know.
"But I checked and found that the nursing home was contracted in 1996 and has been in operation until now."
"Did your mother tell you any details when she was bitten?"
The man shook his head. “She was knocked unconscious at the time, and only discovered the wounds on her body after she woke up.”
"Did you doubt it?"
The man smiled.
The topic ended just like that.
Zhou Ze did not continue to ask.
Instead, he pointed at the mountains outside and said to Yingying behind him:
“Yingying, this is Mount Qingcheng.
There is a song that goes like this:
Bai Suzhen at the foot of Mount Qingcheng,
I have been cultivating this body in the cave for thousands of years.
Ah~~~Ah~~~"
"Boss, did Bai Suzhen come out from here?"
"That should be the case. He transformed from a snake into a human being here."
"Oh, so White Snake is here, that's not right, Boss, White Snake practiced here, how come Leifeng Pagoda is in Hangzhou
And West Lake is also in Hangzhou.”
This question,
Zhou Ze was stunned for a moment.
It seems that few people really think about this issue.
A snake spirit who was practicing in Sichuan, near Chengdu.
Why would you go all the way to Hangzhou to fall in love
"She is a snake spirit. She can fly. Once she flies, she flies very far, to the edge of West Lake."
"Wow, the boss is so smart, he even knows this!"
The man driving the car next to him had a very dark look on his face.
About half an hour later, it was completely dark and the man stopped the car. In front of the car was a very simple sanatorium with a rusty gate. It looked a bit semi-abandoned.
"It's right inside."
The man pointed ahead and said.
Zhou Ze and Yingying got out of the car together.
Boss Zhou stretched lazily.
Just at this moment my cell phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and it was Lawyer An.
"Hello."
"Hey, Boss, I have to be home late tonight."
"What a coincidence! I have to go back later too."
"I found some clues here. Following the guidance of the retired policeman, I found a place and prepared to touch it."
“It’s about the same here.”
"Hahaha, then let's compete to see who can discover more and who can find that guy earlier."
"Okay, let's compare them."
"Okay, boss..."
At this time,
A jeep appeared on the road behind me, stopped, and then two figures, one big and one small, got out of the car.
The big figure was still holding the phone and talking loudly:
"Okay, Boss, let's have a competition... um"
