The Man Standing on Top of the Food Chain

Chapter 5: kill

Views:

A Lang walked into the ward slowly, and looked at Li Anping and Anna on the ground with unscrupulous eyes. He was still lighting a cigarette in his right hand, completely ignoring the hospital's no-smoking sign.

Looking at Long Tao, who seemed to be in a coma, A Lang opened his mouth and laughed: "I was still thinking about how much it would cost to bribe this policeman, but I didn't expect you to save it for me." After finishing speaking, he casually put the cigarette in his hand As soon as he lost it, he grabbed Anna who was pushed to the ground by her with one hand.

"Ah..." Anna was about to scream, but Ah Lang blocked her mouth with her hands. I just felt a huge force coming from the opponent's hand, making her unable to move.

"Hush. Be obedient, don't bark." A Lang stood behind Anna, covered her mouth with one hand, and hugged her with the other.

He spit out a mouthful of hot air and sprayed it on Anna's neck, his eyes became a little greedy: "You look pretty good, what a pity, I said how could you fall in love with a hapless cripple when you look like this?"

Anna's body was trembling, being hugged from behind by a strange man, her eyes were full of fear, and she could only look at Li Anping for help.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?" Li Anping glared at Ah Lang and the others, while roaring in his heart: "Hurry up and save him, I know you can do it."

The voice said indifferently: "But why would I do this? This woman saw us kill Long Tao, and now if he is killed, it will just save us from silence."

"You devil."

Li Anping's eyes had to soften: "Let go of him, are you here to look for me? She has nothing to do with me."

"Haha, you stared at me so fiercely just now, I thought you were going to fight me desperately, 'hero'?" A Lang laughed wildly, he stuck out his tongue and licked Anna's cheek vigorously: "But I just don't let go, so what can you do?"

Seeing Li Anping lying on the ground with eyes that seemed to be spitting fire, Ah Lang's expression became more and more complacent.

"Okay, A Lang, you should have let this woman go just now." Old Nuo followed behind A Lang and closed the ward, saying expressionlessly. Compared with the tone of the wolf boy, he is more like a professional killer.

"Anyway, someone is holding it this time, so it's okay to take one more." A-Lang said nonchalantly, and at the same time touched his stomach with one hand, and walked towards Anna's upper body bit by bit.

Anna, who was hugged tightly, felt the other party's invasion, but she had no power to resist, especially in front of Li Anping, she was startled and frightened, and cried anxiously, with tears streaming from the corners of her eyes.

"The other party called out our own nickname so easily. Obviously, they don't intend to let us go. We must find a chance to kill them." In Li Anping's mind, the voice came to mind again, seeing that Li Anping didn't respond , He continued to urge: "These two are not ordinary people, you have to act first, you do as I said, let's sneak attack and kill one first, then we will have a chance."

"I can't kill people, just stop them."

"madness!!"

The conversation between the two of them will naturally not be heard by others.

Seeing A Lang's appearance, Lao Nuo frowned: "Don't make troubles, the Shang family has put a lot of pressure this time, you don't want to make Brother Huo angry, do you?"

"Hmph." A Lang glanced at Old Nuo with a slight displeasure, grabbed Anna's neck with one hand, lifted her up, and lifted her above his head.

"Then we'll play again later." After finishing speaking, Ah Lang threw Anna's whole body towards the wall with a fierce swing. Let the opponent smash his head, and then fall to the ground and pass out. Blood flowed from the back of Anna's head and spread all over the ground.

"What are you doing?" Li Anping was horrified watching this scene. Seeing the other party throwing Anna against the wall indifferently, he finally realized that the two people in front of him were different from ordinary criminals. They were more unscrupulous and cruel. .

"You still have time to care about others? Do you know that someone paid you to kill you?" Ah Lang walked up to Li Anping step by step, squatted down, and looked at Li Anping who was lying on the ground, as if looking at a toy.

Old Nuo behind him said coldly: "Hurry up and do it, don't say unnecessary words."

Ah Lang, who was squatting in front of Li Anping, shrugged. He grabbed Li Anping's hair with one hand, and lifted the opponent's head to the level of his line of sight.

"Then let's stop talking nonsense and kill you directly."

Boom! a bang.

A Lang pressed Li Anping's head, and smashed it hard towards the ground.

Li Anping felt his head hurt like it was about to explode, red blood flowed out of his ears and nose like dye, his consciousness began to blur, and his vision was covered with a layer of red.

Only the crazy voice came from his mind.

"Ability users, damn! They are ability users!! I can't absorb their souls now, let go of your body control completely!! Otherwise we will all die!!"

But Li Anping was hit so hard that he almost fainted. If the owner of the voice hadn't used his own energy to protect his brain, he would have died long ago. How can you answer the other party's request.

"Damn it! Bastard, you idiot! How could I choose you!" The voice cursed angrily, but it couldn't change the current situation at all.

A Lang picked up Li Anping's head and saw that the other person's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he looked like he was breathing in but not coming out. He was a little dissatisfied: "Your head is really hard. Ordinary people would have exploded into tofu after being hit like this by me. It's spent. Normally, I might let you go, but this time they paid a lot of money, so I can only smash you one more time."

He smiled and said: "Those rich people are really cruel. It's not enough to kill them when they grow old, and they won't even let you off as a cripple."

Hearing this sentence, Li Anping's eyes flashed, and his drowsy brain seemed to clear up for a moment. He managed to open his eyes, and asked intermittently: "You said... old man? My grandma... she... is you... what are you doing?" ...'s?"

"Oh? Are you still conscious?" A Lang was surprised: "It's amazing, that blow just now was enough to crack your skull, and your brain has suffered serious internal bleeding, and you can still talk?"

A Lang poked Li Anping's head in amazement, and when he saw the other party screaming, he showed a cruel smile: "Okay, as a reward, I'll let you be a smart ghost. Your grandma is also one of our people. Yes, but I didn’t do it, but it’s the same person who paid for it, you should know it.”

"Shang... Zhen... Bang?"

Hearing Li Anping say these three words, for some reason, Ah Lang's heart suddenly felt cold for no reason, as if he had made some huge mistake.

And the change in the room finally attracted the attention of others, and footsteps sounded outside the corridor.

"Stop playing." Old Nuo urged again: "Hurry up and solve it. If someone sees us, Brother Huo will not be able to explain it."

※※※

"Can you help me get revenge?" In the silent cry, Li Anping could only see a black shadow wandering over his body.

"Hey, yes, as long as you make a deal with me."

"The devil's deal? What else do you want from me? I already have nothing."

"Do you still have room to refuse?"

"That's good, as long as you help me avenge, then as a reward, whether it's the body or the soul, you can use whatever you want from me."

"Hey hey hey... hahahaha... hahahahahaha"

After listening to Li Anping's words, the voice first smiled, then laughed louder and louder, and became more and more complacent, until Li Anping's entire mind was filled with the other party's laughter.

※※※

A Lang was about to push Li Anping's head down, but found that his hand was firmly grasped, and he didn't move at all.

Li Anping held A Lang's arm, and he raised his head to look at A Lang, only blood remained in his eyes. There were bursts of strange noises in his body, as if something was crawling inside his body.

"I don't need your soul or body, I just need to make a deal with you. The soul power I absorbed just now is enough to allow you to have physical strength beyond ordinary people in a short period of time, but it can only last for 5 minutes. You You have to be able to kill them in five minutes and get away."

What the voice said before was still recalled in Li Anping's mind, and then a cruel and evil force began to spread throughout his body.

The physical injury recovered at an incredible speed, his strength was increasing, his muscle fibers became thicker, and his bones became stronger, allowing him to exert greater strength.

Li Anping felt as if he had been reborn, and his physical condition was countless times better than any day he had ever been in the past.

"ah!!"

He roared angrily, raised his fist and slammed wildly at A Lang's chest. Ah Lang didn't show any weakness, and also punched Li Anping's stomach.

A Lang thought: "My ability is muscle strengthening, you and I compete for strength?"

But the result of the duel was completely opposite to what he thought. With one punch, A Lang's chest was almost cracked, half of his ribs were broken, and his mouth kept vomiting blood, while his opponent seemed to be safe and sound, as if A Lang's attack was just a tickle.

At this time, Ah Lang couldn't care about anything anymore, he screamed, his arms swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye, almost twice as thick as before, and after barely punching Li Anping away, he quickly backed away .

"Old Nuo!!"

Old Nuo had reacted a long time ago, but he didn't expect that Ah Lang, who is a "capable person", would be defeated so easily. Seeing that Ah Lang backed away, he pulled out the dagger from his waist and stabbed towards Li Anping's waist.

"Kill them all!! Eat them all!! Soul, body, nothing left!"

At this time, Li Anping's eyes were already red, and his expression became more and more crazy. He only has A Lang in his eyes now. Letting Old Nuo stab the dagger into his side, he pushed the opponent away, kicked his feet, and rushed towards Ah Lang again. Holding Ah Lang's shoulders, he bit the opponent's neck.

The severe pain only made him crazier.

Li Anping doesn't know how to fight formally at all, he is just fighting according to his instinct at the moment.

There was only a sound of tearing, his mouth was biting on A Lang's neck, and a large piece of meat was taken off as he pulled and pulled. A Lang's screams resounded throughout the hospital in an instant, and his entire neck was almost torn off. up. Blood spilled from the wound like a fountain, dyeing both him and Li Anping red.

But Alang is a capable person after all, and he can still control and strengthen the ability of muscle groups, so he did not die immediately after being so seriously injured. Instead, he struggled even more violently. He was already petrified by Li Anping's madness, and the only thing he thought about was to survive. As a large piece of muscle in his neck was torn off, his fists crazily hammered towards Li Anping, and finally took advantage of the gap that the other party retreated, smashed open the door, and escaped without looking back.

With a puff, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Lao Nuo stabbed Li Anping in the back again, piercing the opponent's lung. Li Anping roared angrily, turned his head and slapped him flying, then rushed out with A Lang.

Lao Nuo was just an ordinary person. Although he was originally a retired special soldier, his physical fitness could not be compared with that of a capable person. When he was hit by Li Anping's huge force, he almost fell apart, dizzy and unable to stand up.

When he came back to his senses, he only heard the sound of bones and flesh coming from the corridor outside the ward, as well as the roar of A Lang getting weaker and weaker, and the screams of other patients and nurses.

Ten seconds later, when Ah Lang's face was covered with blood and there were still a few tooth marks on his forehead, he finally crawled back to the door and stretched out his hand to Old Nuo, as if he wanted to ask for help.

But before he could call for help, a bloody hand grabbed his head and dragged him back. There was only a series of chewing sounds, which came in from outside the door.

After a burst of heart-piercing howls, the sound stopped abruptly.

"Strange... monster!!"

Seeing this scene, Lao Nuo suddenly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and suddenly jumped out of the window, and he couldn't go outside the door. And outside the window is only the third floor, with his skill, at most he will suffer a little injury.

Rolling around on the grass downstairs to relieve the impact, Lao Nuo ran towards the hospital gate in a panic.

Five minutes later, a large number of police cars arrived late, and the only thing they could get was a fainted girl, a policeman's body and a pile of bloody wreckage.

Dim lights, pungent smells.

Although it was not the first time he came to the morgue, Huang Linjun still felt uncomfortable.

Pushing open the door of the morgue, Ah Lang's body was lying on the dissecting table, and the surrounding trays were still full of various blood, pieces of meat, and some tools that Huang Linjun couldn't name.

The victim was found in hospital yesterday. Originally, this kind of murder case was not within the jurisdiction of Huang Linjun, but because of the unusual circumstances of the case, the chief of the Public Security Bureau of Zhongdu City pulled him out of bed with a phone call.

"It's really rough." Seeing the corpse in front of him again, Huang Linjun still couldn't help frowning.

Limbs were broken, the neck was torn open, extensive tissue contusions were suffered throughout the body, and a hole was opened in the skull. If he hadn't analyzed the case in advance, Huang Linjun would almost have thought it was the work of some perverted killer.

He stood by the dissecting table and waited for a while, and forensic doctor Zhang Wei came in from the door.

"They even called you over? Hehe, those guys from the serious crime team can be liberated now." Zhang Wei seemed a little surprised when he saw Huang Linjun sizing up the corpse.

While packing up the equipment at the side, he said: "I have sent the autopsy report to your mailbox, are you still in the mood to look at this pile of minced meat? You must know that the two novices who sent the corpse over yesterday almost vomited their livers out." .To be honest, this is the most vicious corpse I have ever seen in all the years I have been in this business."

Huang Linjun turned his head to look at Zhang Wei, and smiled: "No way, I am the only one in the whole bureau who can handle this kind of thing. I came here today to ask you about some things that can't be seen in the autopsy report. The situation." Huang Linjun said meaningfully.

He knew that when the forensic doctor was writing the autopsy report, if he encountered a case related to ability users, he would always find some abnormalities. And these extraordinary situations are obviously the results that most of the top police leaders can hardly accept.

You can't tell your leader that the victim was killed by a person with superpowers, right? At least it can’t be written like this in writing, otherwise you will be carried by a police station in a remote area for the rest of your life.

Therefore, although it is almost an open secret that capable people are in the upper echelons of many government departments, there is no written record about them in any official documents of Daxia.

Therefore, when forensic doctors encounter cases related to capable persons, they often use the spring and autumn style of writing to give a reasonable explanation or hypothesis.

The real situation of the case is often only known by the secret police like Huang Linjun who is in charge of supernormal cases.

"I knew it." Zhang Wei muttered, but still answered Huang Linjun's question.

"What is the cause of death?" Huang Linjun casually flipped through the deceased's information and asked without forgetting.

"The arterial hemorrhage, plus half of the brain was ripped out of the skull, no matter what happens, he is dead." Zhang Wei twitched the corner of his mouth: "It is worth noting here, and here." He pointed to the arms and neck of the corpse.

"The size of these arms obviously does not meet the size of normal humans. It is almost 4 times thicker than normal people, and they are all muscles, with almost no fat. I would believe that he could kill a bear with his bare hands."

"Maybe he is a fitness enthusiast? He specializes in exercising upper body muscles?" Huang Linjun was unsure: "Is there such a possibility?"

"Which bodybuilder have you seen whose muscles are below the elbow? Popeye?" Zhang Wei shook his head: "Any exercise affects the whole body. It is impossible to only exercise this part without involving the elbow. The parts, especially his shoulders and back, are emaciated and pitiful, as if chronically malnourished, in stark contrast to his arms."

Zhang Wei nodded and thought calmly: "This wolf should be an ability user of the mutation system, similar to the ability to control muscles, then the traces of damage caused on the scene can be explained. It was caused by his strength. But the murderer Can tear him into pieces head-on..."

"There is still a neck." Zhang Wei pointed to the torn bronchus on the corpse.

"Did it get bitten off?" Huang Linjun asked, "The murderer didn't receive formal combat training, or did the murderer and the victim have a deep hatred?"

"That's what you want to investigate. I'm only talking about the corpse." Zhang Wei exhaled and said slowly, "I didn't find that piece of meat."

"Huh?" Huang Linjun didn't react for a moment.

"We didn't find the meat bitten off from the neck. The whole hospital was searched, but we couldn't find it at all." Zhang Wei's eyes became deeper and deeper, which seemed to reveal some kind of fear.

"Generally speaking, even if the murderer bites the victim, he will spit out a piece of meat immediately, don't you mean to say?" Huang Linjun said incredulously.

"I don't want to think so, but guess what I found when I dissected his brain?" Zhang Wei sneered, "A normal adult's brain weighs 1,300 to 1,400 grams, but I was inside the skull of a corpse. Found 500g.

Hum, there are 800 grams of tofu flower missing.

Either the deceased was brain-dead before his death, or someone packed up the brains and took them away. "

Huang Linjun frowned deeply: "You want to say that the murderer took part of the deceased's brain?"

"I'm even more suspicious that he ate it. But what's going on, I still need you to investigate." Zhang Wei said: "I'm just responsible for telling you the real situation."

As one of the six most powerful countries in the world, Great Xia, although there is still a huge gap between the rich and the poor, the problem of food for the common people has been solved long ago.

So Huang Linjun couldn't imagine that in today's modern society, even when homeless people can't starve to death, there are still people who cannibalize people? So he went on to ask, "Where's the other policeman?"

"Brain death..." Zhang Weidao: "To be precise, the brain stopped functioning suddenly. There was no trauma to the whole body except the contusion caused by the fall, but the brain stopped functioning suddenly, and then the breathing stopped, and all the organs stopped working. I've never seen a death like this."

"Is there any trace of poisoning?" Huang Linjun touched his chin and said, "Could it be some kind of disease? Did the deceased have no similar medical history before?"

"No, nothing. If he didn't stop breathing, I almost thought he was still alive." Zhang Wei shook his head: "He is much luckier than that piece of meat, and he can be buried decently."

Huang Linjun felt that the case was getting more difficult, and thought in his heart: "Another capable person? If so, then it means that two capable persons took action. Or the owners of multiple abilities? What do they have to do with the missing Li Anping?" relation?"

At this moment, Huang Linjun's cell phone rang suddenly. He picked up the phone and rushed out without saying a few words.

Gritting his teeth, he said, "This bastard."

Huang Wei behind him asked, "What's wrong?"

Huang Linjun didn't answer, his thoughts were all on the news brought by the phone.

Less than 16 hours after the homicide in the hospital, another similar homicide occurred, also suspected to be the work of a person with abilities...
