Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 199 The Brain That Was Taken

Three hundred corpses were crammed into such a small space. The strong smell of blood and corpses even gave Ke Lan the illusion that even the air became very viscous and difficult to flow. , you have to suppress the desire to vomit.

In such a scene opposite, the agents of the Security Bureau performed fairly well, but the non-commissioned officers of the garrison who came in with Major Ashkani were all pale, and the few who reacted more seriously were already covering themselves. The mouth retched continuously.

……

ten minutes later.

"Reporting sir, no infection was found...but, but..."

"But what?" Victoria asked, casting a cold glance at him.

"When we sampled the autopsy... the inside of the skull was found to be empty..." the agent said.

"Empty... Do you mean that the brain tissue of the corpse has disappeared?" Ke Lan hurriedly asked, he knew that there was a kind of indigenous creature called "brain-eating worm", who especially liked to feed on the brain tissue of creatures-of course, this This kind of "brain-eating worm" has nothing to do with the amoeba named "Negleri amoeba" on the earth. This is a giant worm with a length of more than five meters and a bloated body. It will be able to release a gas that makes the prey fall into a hallucinogenic state, and then use the needle-like sharp mouthpart to pierce the prey's skull and suck the brain...

It's just that brain-eating worms can almost be regarded as rare species on Alpha Planet, let alone on the ark...it's hard to find even outside.

"Is there any sign of damage to the skull?" Victoria asked.

"No." The agent shook his head, "But after the autopsy, we found that there was a puncture wound on the roof of the nasal cavity, and the brain tissue should have been removed from the nasal cavity."

Piercing the nasal cavity to take out the brain tissue... Isn't this the method used by the ancient Egyptians to make mummies in the old era?Coupled with the posture of the arms of these corpses... Is it possible that this heretical sect not only inherited the religion of the Alpha civilization, but also absorbed part of the ancient Egyptian culture that was handed down?

But... what's the point of doing this?

"Was all the brain tissue removed from the cadaver?" Victoria continued to ask.

"Sixteen corpses were sampled like this," the agent replied.

"..." Victoria fell into a rare silence, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became more dignified.

"Have you found these missing brain groups?" Ke Lan asked the agent.

"No..." He shook his head and held up a transparent ziplock bag, "We only found the severed fingers of the victims."

Inside the bag were more than a dozen bloody fingers, and the cut surface was not smooth... Obviously, those murderers killed all the civilians gathered here first, and then killed their fingers with blunted samurai swords. Fingers come down one by one...

"This group of thugs..." Major Ashkani gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Their crimes are enough to be sent to the electric chair more than a dozen times!"

There are three main ways for Fang Zhou to carry out the death penalty: injection, shooting and electric chair. Among them, the electric chair can be regarded as the most painful one, and it will cause the death row prisoner's body to be severely burned, and the appearance of the death row is extremely disgraceful... Generally speaking He said that only criminals who committed extremely serious crimes would be sentenced to death by electric chair.

Of course, since Ke Lan knew how the flesh-eating worms of the Security Bureau were bred, in his eyes, the electric chair was no longer the cruelest punishment.

"Electric chairs are still cheaper for these guys. I think it's more suitable to send them to the breeding ground for flesh-eating worms...at least they can be used for waste." Ke Lan glanced at the hands in the bags and said softly.

"...The people in the second group stay here. Let's count the details of the victims and their specific identities. The others will follow me." After Victoria finished speaking, she actually walked up to the third floor first.

The agent holding the shield wanted to get in front of her, but she pushed him away.

"Based on my experience of following the officer for so many years, she should be in anger now." The agent who talked a lot said to Ke Lan and Ashkani in a low voice, "I suggest you don't go to provoke her."

Ke Lan nodded approvingly. During this period of getting along, his views on this group of Security Bureau agents have changed a lot... At least, they are not as bad as the outside rumors say .

The third floor of the building is an attic, which is used as a warehouse by the operators of restaurants and izakayas. In addition to finding half a tuna that has been processed in the freezer and a dozen boxes of Japanese sake, they are stacked here. There are basically no valuable sundries, and as for things like corpses, I haven't seen a single one.

The massacre and sacrifice seemed to be done in the dining room on the second floor. During this process, no one ran to the attic.

After reaching this conclusion, the investigation team withdrew from the building, but just as they were about to move on along the street, the voice that had disappeared for a while unexpectedly reappeared!

"I... I heard it clearly!" Major Ashkani shouted incoherently, "It's a scream! It's an extremely sharp scream! There seems to be the sound of a knife piercing into the flesh... and... howling, Weeping, roaring..."

He squatted down covering his head, his lips trembling uncontrollably.

"This sound...these sounds...it's like the scene where more than 300 people were killed was playing back in my ears..." Ashkani murmured, he pulled off his general cap, and his fingers sank deep into the into the hair.

"You're too nervous...breathe, take a deep breath..." Ke Lan grabbed the major's arm and helped him up from the ground.

"The massacre... the massacre is still going on!" Ashkani opened his eyes wide, tightly grasped Ke Lan's wrist, and shook it vigorously.

"The massacre is over." Ke Lan patted the other party's back lightly. He naturally heard that voice too, but it was completely different from what Major Ashkani heard. It seemed to be a long and heavy prayer. The prayer spit out every syllable from his lips and teeth in an extremely pious tone—Ke Lan can be sure that it is definitely not the language of the Alpha civilization, but it is also not any old language used by the humans on the ark.

Even his "successor" couldn't understand the content of this prayer at all.

Not only Ashkani alone, several people in the investigation team also suffered from splitting headaches... They all heard similar sounds, the roars and screams of those victims seemed to ring in their ears, even The sound of the body being pierced by a sharp weapon is so real.

"Did you hear that too?" Ke Lan raised his head and looked at Victoria.
