Chapter 337 Humanity!
Lanny frowned. He had seen many chilling scenes, but the scene in front of him gave him an absolute shock.
He ate it raw. This is the only joint explanation that Lanny's brain can give. Everything that just happened was like a hunt in nature, primitive, savage, exposed and bloody. The loser became the winner's meal.
Also surprised were Mike and Serena, who looked at everything outside and couldn't say anything. The silence was finally broken by the detective, who said quietly but quickly: "Quick, let's go."
"But..." Mike wanted to ask, but was immediately interrupted by Lanny: "I know what you want to say, but we can't guarantee whether he still has humanity. After he eats the snake man, he won't be able to They will definitely eat us too.”
These words made the other two shudder subconsciously. Looking at Quentin who was lying on the snake man's body and biting it, they no longer had any illusions and quickly walked into the passage.
…
The sunlight penetrates through the gaps in the white curtains, like a naughty child, leaving its mark on the room, reminding the people in the house that it is daybreak.
Ellie's eyes slowly moved from the documents opposite to the light spots on the ground. She took a long breath and looked a little tired.
Ta-ta-ta-ta.
The wand in his hand tapped the floor, and the documents floating in the air fell from the air in an orderly manner. The curtains slowly opened, and the naughty children who had been waiting for a long time were shined in from the outside without restraint.
The eldest lady stood up from the sofa, put her hands on the awning and looked out the window, muttering: "It's another sunny day, not bad."
She closed the notepad in her hand, and her night's work was not in vain. Her guess was correct, Frank was indeed looking for the person named Kimball in these nursing homes and homeless shelters.
After a night of sorting, she narrowed it down to the three most likely places. If he were simply looking for nursing homes and homeless shelters, Frank wouldn't have to painstakingly go to the underground archives of the police station to find information.
Liverpool's Public Archives, Public Library, and surrounding universities are all great places to visit. Those places should have more complete and detailed information. What the police station keeps are case files, which record crimes that occurred near these institutions, not the institutions themselves.
This also indicates that there may have been cases in the places Frank was looking for that may have led to the closure of these institutions. Or perhaps it is the cases themselves that Frank is pursuing.
Following this direction, combined with the fact that the files kept in the archives of the underground police station were basically cases from fifty years ago, Ellie finally targeted two nursing homes and a homeless shelter.
The two nursing homes are located in suburbs in different directions. One of them, named Tomorrow, suffered from collective food poisoning in 1972, resulting in the deaths of twelve elderly people and three medical staff in the hospital.
This incident also forced the nursing home to close in 1973. An investigation at the time showed that the food poisoning was caused by a batch of stale clams purchased by the kitchen.
Another nursing home called Hand in Hand Sunset had a shooting incident in 1965. A thug broke into the nursing home, shot and killed six people, and finally committed suicide.
Again, due to public pressure, the institution closed two years later. The police report showed that the thug was a former employee of the nursing home who was dissatisfied with being fired and came to seek revenge.
The last shelter had no name. It was originally located near George Wharf and moved to the lower town after the fire of 1955. The cause of the fire was malicious arson, but the murderer was not found. The fire killed more than 30 people and destroyed almost half of the shelter. Because of its age, the contents of the police report are very crude.
Ellie strolled to the window and admired the sparkling Mersey River. She stretched out and stretched her body that had been sitting for a long time. The silk pajamas set off her curvy figure, and in the golden sunlight, she was as dazzling as a goddess on the Olympic Mountains.
"Okay, let's start working." The eldest lady exhaled a long breath.
Darkness, endless darkness, darkness everywhere you look. Xing Ze's consciousness was floating in a dark ocean. Suddenly, a pair of cold hands touched his cheek, a biting coldness swept through his body, and his lost vision gradually recovered.
He saw that familiar figure, that ghost that had never let go of him, like a shadow in the sun, always accompanying him.
A beam of bright light came from a distance, making it impossible to look directly at her. The girl's figure faded like a mist, followed by pain, pain all over her body.
Xing Ze couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, and the surrounding darkness began to shrink, trying to block the light.
"Enough!" With Xing Ze's roar, the darkness receded like a tide, but some of it was like moss on a stubborn rock. They roared and surged into Xing Ze's body to make a final struggle.
But the light became brighter and brighter, wider and wider.
"You don't belong to them. One day you will understand that you have..."
The darkness completely dissipated.
Xing Ze woke up, and the sunlight falling from the roof shone on his body, bringing a touch of warmth to his cold body.
He looked down at the messy snake-man corpse on the ground and spat out the scraps of meat in his mouth in disgust. The pain in his body continued to intensify, indicating that his senses were gradually recovering. Overdraft of magic power, broken bones, wounds and other effects soon began to sweep through the body.
Xing Ze asked Bluebeak to continue devouring the snake man, but time did not allow him to absorb the entire body. The noise coming from outside the gymnasium indicated that a large number of villagers were approaching this side.
He took a few deep breaths, then used his right hand to reconnect his dislocated left hand. The brief pain made Xing Ze gasp.
His increasingly strong body made him more and more resistant to pain, but this did not mean that he could completely block this feeling. Then he bent down and held his right kneecap with both hands. With a click, the entire deviated bone was pressed back.
"Thank you, Uncle Huang, the bone-setting technique you taught me is always so useful." Xing Ze muttered to himself. The nutrients absorbed by Bluebeak began to repair his injured body, and the wound was slowly healing.
After waiting to absorb most of the corpse, Xing Ze retracted Bluebeak and limped to the storage room.
When he arrived at the storage room, his body had recovered by more than half, and his broken right leg had returned to normal. He opened the door to the underground and followed the light not far away.
A few minutes later, he caught up with the group of investigators. Mike, who was left behind, could not see the person coming in the dark, and subconsciously stabbed the dagger in his hand, but his hand was blocked, and then he was punched in the stomach. It was not heavy, but it was painful enough to make him scream.
"Don't point the dagger at me." Xing Ze cursed and pushed Mike against the wall on the side.
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that it was the fake Quentin's voice, and Mike laughed despite the pain, "God bless you, are you back to normal?"
"God won't bless me." Xing Ze said sarcastically, "Keep going forward, don't stop, they will catch up soon."
