It was pitch black all around, and only some vague outlines could be seen.
Bai Lixin couldn’t help but complain, “I’ve become a ghost yet I still can’t make handle darkness. Is this reasonable?”
S419M: [Very unreasonable, so let’s go, Lord Host.]
Bai Lixin: “Let’s first take a stroll before we go.”
S419M: […]
‘Do you think this place is a department store? Take a stroll before leaving? Why not take two strolls before leaving!’
Of course, S419M didn’t dare to say this. If it dared to say it, the host would really accompany it for two strolls before leaving.
Bai Lixin walked to the side and tried to turn on the light in the morgue. When his hand touched the switch, it slid off and directly passed through it.
He looked at his hand, then at the light switch, and finally tried to take out a flashlight from his backpack.
There was a system prompt.
[Ding! Friendly reminder, you cannot equip props in your current state. Please try again later.]
Bai Lixin: […]
He found that his body was sometimes good and sometimes bad. Sometimes he could directly interact with objects in reality, and sometimes his body couldn’t touch those things.
Could this be the “neither alive nor dead” state White Wuchang mentioned before?
Unable to use tools, unable to turn on the light, Bai Lixin could only investigate in the morgue in the dark.
As one of the five senses, smell originally had powerful functionality.
When sight and hearing couldn’t accurately judge a situation, smell is often the first to provide some clues to the human body.
For example, even before entering the house, you could smell the aroma of fried chicken from a distance.
Or passing by a garbage dump, even if the gate was locked, you could still smell the stench.
The sense of smell stimulates the human body’s senses with each breath, and humans sometimes rely more heavily on it than hearing.
Just like now, due to the absence of smell, Bai Lixin couldn’t smell the stench of corpses, so he couldn’t use smell to find his target. At the same time, darkness temporarily weakened his vision, so he could only grope around to search.
There were many organ specimens on the shelves in the morgue, including fresh red livers soaked in formalin, eyeballs in jars, and some internal organs.
He squinted his eyes and glanced around. Suddenly, he saw an operating table on the opposite side through a gap in the shelf. From the raised white cloth on the operating table, there should be something covered underneath.
Bai Lixin turned around and directly passed through the mold shelf.
S419M felt dizzy.
The Lord host wasn’t afraid, but it was.
Just now, it was using Bai Lixin’s perspective to look outside. Suddenly, it raised its head and saw two eyeballs, which were stuck together almost within arm’s reach. It felt so bitter.
Bai Lixin found that being in a spirit state was quite convenient in certain situations, just like this ability to pass through objects.
On the operating table, the white cloth bulged irregularly.
With two protrusions on either end and a sudden depression in the middle, it seemed like a breached river, abruptly sinking down as if there was nothing there.
He tried to reach out and grab the white cloth to see what was underneath, but as soon as his hand touched the cloth, it passed through from the other side.
S419M silently waited in Bai Lixin’s mind, not daring to say a word.
It always had a bad feeling…
Until it saw Bai Lixin bending over, the unease finally broke through all rationality: [Don’t go in there!!]
Bai Lixin had already stuck his head into the white cloth.
A terribly mutilated corpse suddenly appeared in S419M’s line of sight without warning. This time, S419M didn’t even have a chance to scream; it just rolled its eyes and passed out.
——————————
In front of the live broadcast room, a group of players covered their chests.
[Holy shit, isn’t this scarier than ‘The Midnight Ring’?]
[Before, I was scared to death from the perspective of a human. Now, from the perspective of a ghost, I’m even more terrified. Who can understand, brothers?]
[We all understand, QvQ, my heart almost gave out.]
[Welcome everyone, let’s follow God Xin into the perspective of the undead. Please continue watching God Xin’s operation.]
—————————–
The cloth was soft, and the protrusions of the body could support the cloth, leaving a small gap.
Bai Lixin couldn’t lift the cloth, so he could only see what was in front of him through the gap between the cloth and the corpse.
It was a mutilated corpse pieced together.
The reason for using the words “pieced together” was because this corpse had clearly been subjected to extremely cruel treatment.
The victim was a male. His head was split in half along the line from between his eyebrows to his chin by some unknown weapon. Perhaps because the weapon wasn’t sharp enough, or perhaps because the bones were too hard, his skin turned outwards like a rolled-up steel wool, exposing the white flesh underneath.
The exposed bones were also very uneven. They were twisted and crooked, with the position of the nose bridge slightly off, then corrected to the centerline. It looked like a head that had been slowly sawed in half with a not very sharp saw.
The head and neck were also separated, as well as the neck and shoulders. The arms were separated from the upper limbs, and the upper limbs were also cut into four pieces.
Bai Lixin’s gaze moved down and he saw that the abdomen of the corpse was hollowed out.
The police probably didn’t find the corpse’s belly, but the autopsy staff placed the corpse according to the general proportions of the human body, so a portion of the abdomen was left blank in the middle before connecting to the crotch.
When he saw the crotch pointing downwards, Bai Lixin suddenly paused for a moment, then continued to look down.
The buttocks were also sawed into two pieces, and the two legs connected below were not spared either, each leg was divided into neat four pieces.
Bai Lixin noticed that one of the feet was missing a little toe. When he saw the missing toe, he remembered something and came to look at the victim’s hands again.
The victim’s right hand was also missing a little finger.
After looking from head to toe, he withdrew his head from the white cloth.
He began to recall the case files he had seen in the archives.
This corpse was found five days ago. The body was packed in different black plastic bags and buried in a deserted wetland park in City R. The body was discovered that day by a young couple on a date. The two lovers were originally kissing in the rarely visited grove. The girl glanced over and saw a black plastic bag with half a face peeking out from inside.
The girl was frightened and fainted on the spot, and the boy tremblingly reported it to the police. The two are still receiving psychological counseling at the psychological counseling center, and it is estimated that they will not be able to get out of this psychological shadow for a while.
The victim’s identity has been identified as a professor at a university.
According to the records in the case file, the police questioned several colleagues of the victim. According to their testimony, the university professor was always humble and polite in his dealings with others, and had no bad habits such as drinking or gambling. His favorite activities were research and writing papers, and he had no grudges at school.
The reason why Bai Lixin wanted to look at this case was not only because he heard the urgency of the two policemen on duty to catch the murderer, but also because when he looked at the case file, he found that the method of dismemberment of this corpse was very similar to the method of dismemberment of Xiao Hua’s body.
Moreover, the place where Xiao Hua used to live was very close to the university where this victim used to work.
He felt that this was not a coincidence.
Perhaps there was a possibility that the murderer who killed the professor was the same person who dismembered Xiao Hua’s body.
According to the results of the autopsy in the case file, the time of death of this professor was ten days ago.
The suspect who had been in prison for ten years was released half a month ago.
The timing matched up.
From the current continuous clues, this suspect still had a high suspicion of committing the crime.
Bai Lixin stared at the white cloth in front of him.
He was now a ghost; after death, the soul would leave the body and become a spirit state, and finally be taken to the underworld by the ghost messengers.
If he could directly find the soul of the deceased, the deceased should know who the culprit was, right?
Wouldn’t solving the case be quick then?
Bai Lixin just dismissed this thought as soon as it came to mind.
The encounter with Black and White Wuchang last time was purely coincidental. How could he be so lucky to encounter the ghost messengers wherever he went? The underworld wasn’t his family’s property.
Could he just summon whatever he wanted?
While Bai Lixin was thinking, he suddenly felt a chill behind his neck, as if water droplets had fallen on his neck.
His body stiffened slightly, and he caught a glimpse of a shadow drifting in the corner of his eye.
It was pitch-black, as if curtains were swaying back and forth.
But…this was an empty morgue. How could there be curtains?
“Swish-swish,” the sound of sliding hair rang out in Bai Lixin’s ears. It came from above, and was directly at him, hovering back and forth above him. “Swish-swish.”
The dark floating object approached Bai Lixin more and more, moving from the corner of his eye to right in front of him. It was pitch black, somewhat like human long hair, but also not quite.
The two remained silent, each holding their breath.
The viewers in the live broadcast room were also watching nervously.
At this moment, Bai Lixin rolled his eyes slightly, reached out, and directly grabbed the clump of black hair, pulling whatever was above him down with force. “What are you doing? It’s fine to scare me if I were alive, but now I’m dead and a ghost, you still want to scare me? Can’t you come up with something more original?”
With a muffled thud, a heavy object fell to the ground, emitting a low howl.
The two systems: […]
Viewers in the live broadcast room: […]
‘Why do I suddenly feel a bit sorry for other ghosts?’
Bai Lixin looked down at the lump of black stuff in front of him. When the thing stood up with a low growl, he finally saw what it was.
It was not a person, nor a ghost of a person after death.
It was a dog.
Or should it be called a police dog.
It looked like a Border Collie, with black and white fur, and it was wearing a training suit for police dogs.
What had been hanging in front of him and swinging back and forth just now was this dog’s tail.
Now the police dog Border Collie got up from the ground, propped up its front legs, and barked wildly at Bai Lixin.
S419M: [Lord Host, it seems to mistake you for a bad ghost.]
The escape system couldn’t help but comment: [Of course, which normal ghost would sneak into the morgue in the middle of the night and stick their head under someone’s white cloth? Isn’t that perverted?]
Bai Lixin: […]
S419M laughed dryly: [Hehe.]
Bai Lixin squatted slightly, and the Border Collie immediately backed off, making an alert posture and staring at Bai Lixin warily.
Not sure if the Border Collie could understand, Bai Lixin pointed at the corpse on the operating table. “I’m not a bad ghost. I’m here to help this victim find the murderer, understand?”
The Border Collie tilted its head and barked twice, “Arf-arf ”.
Perhaps it understood, its previous angry barking became softer.
Seeing that the Border Collie police dog no longer intended to attack him, Bai Lixin patted his knees and stood up to leave.
He had just taken two steps toward the exit when he suddenly stopped, looked down at the police dog that had been following him, and couldn’t help but laugh: “Do you want to come with me?”
The Border Collie nodded: “Arf.”
Bai Lixin: “To catch the criminal with me?”
The Border Collie nodded again.
Bai Lixin: “…”
As expected of a Border Collie, very smart.’
‘I wonder how it would be if it were a Husky.’
Bai Lixin couldn’t drive away the Border Collie, so he had no choice but to take it with him through the basement to the ground floor.
When they reached the lobby on the ground floor, the Border Collie suddenly stopped, barked at Bai Lixin a few times before jumping and hopping onto the police duty desk.
It was now two in the morning, the time when people were most sleepy.
The young policeman couldn’t hold on anymore and had started to doze off, while the old policeman propped up his head and drank wolfberry water from his thermos to stay awake.
It is autumn now, and it gets very chilly in the night.
The old policeman glanced at the young policeman and casually covered him with a blanket.
The door to the lobby on the ground floor was a glass door with a big gap. When the wind blows, the cool breeze flows in through the gap.
A gust of wind blew, and the old policeman couldn’t help but tug at his padded duty jacket.
“Ah, it’s really cold tonight,” he murmured softly.
Suddenly, he felt a warmth in his arms.
He looked down in a daze, but there was nothing in his arms.
“Heh.” The old policeman chuckled helplessly. “I thought you were back, Gan Tai. In the blink of an eye, it’s been two years since you left, Gan Tai.”
Even though he said that, the old policeman still reached out his hand skillfully, placed it over his chest and slid it back and forth as if caressing a beloved pet.
Bai Lixin stood not far from the duty desk, silently watching what was happening on the desk.
The black-and-white police dog Border Collie curled up obediently in the arms of the old policeman. Although the policeman couldn’t see the dog, the hand he lifted and lowered happened to touch the dog’s body precisely.
The police dog wagged its tail happily, occasionally emitting a whimpering sound from its throat.
This scene lasted for nearly ten minutes before the police dog reluctantly climbed out of the old policeman’s arms. It stood on the duty desk, stuck out its head, wagged its tail and licked the old policeman’s cheek affectionately before nuzzling against him with its nose, then turned around and came to Bai Lixin’s side.
After passing through the glass door, Bai Lixin looked back again.
The old policeman was touching his cheek in a daze, lost in thought.
Was he missing the days when he used to live with Gan Tai?
He still felt the intimacy of Gan Tai.
As they passed by the guardroom, Bai Lixin found that the guard was asleep again.
The night was getting colder, and the guard’s jacket and blanket were hanging askew, almost falling to the ground.
Bai Lixin subconsciously wanted to help the guard pull up his clothes, but when his hand touched the glass window, it didn’t go through.
He looked at his hand with mixed feelings.
Now he could touch things again.
It was pitch black all around, and only some vague outlines could be seen.
Bai Lixin couldn’t help but complain, “I’ve become a ghost yet I still can’t make handle darkness. Is this reasonable?”
S419M: [Very unreasonable, so let’s go, Lord Host.]
Bai Lixin: “Let’s first take a stroll before we go.”
