Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 193 The Corpse Stands Up

A fantasy species that appears in Dadu, its standard scientific name is: taint creature.

They are significantly different from both hallucinations and fantasies, and are much rarer than the more common former two.

Unlike hallucinations that require an invading object to contact reality, tainted creatures have had real entities since their appearance in Dadu. They do not need any host to ensure independent existence. Their strength varies and their images are specific. Similar populations have similar abilities and will not have huge differences like hallucinations.

On this basis, it is also different from fantasy objects.

The sources of fantasy objects are mostly influenced by other worlds, and most of them are concrete objects with special powers that exist in the black world. They have obvious traces of their sources and external influences, and they vary greatly.

However, contaminant organisms are relatively independent, and their sources are not obviously related to external influences. After discussion, they were unified into an additional category.

As for the specific source of the stain organisms, this is also a mystery.

The tainted organisms have some of the elements that a living organism should have, and some tainted organisms can even reproduce normally if they encounter the same species with a very small probability. Of course, they can also not reproduce in the conventional sense, but use other methods to increase their own species.

Zombies being infected by corpse poison and vampires becoming dependents are both ways of spreading the disease.

However, these are just developments from one to many. Where did the stain organisms come from and how did this one appear, there is currently no research that can give a reliable explanation.

It's not that tainted creatures can't communicate. Many of them are quite intelligent when they appear, and can even have friendly exchanges. However, communicating with these tainted creatures cannot answer the above questions.

They don't know where they came from. Even the hallucinations that have never grown can realize that they come from the black world. The stain creatures are like an indelible stain that appears out of thin air in reality. Once they appear, they are real and deeply rooted.

In this respect, they may be more like time travelers than Zheng Fan.

From the perspective of improving combat effectiveness, although tainted creatures are not as convenient as illusions, they are more stable and safer than illusions.

The premise of using the power of illusion is to give your life to illusion, while it is relatively safer to deal with tainted creatures. Although they do not provide fantasy factors, they can also serve as good combat forces when acting as thugs.

With such a foundation and its rarity, it naturally attracts all kinds of attention.

However, as a cleaner, Jiang Si's business scope should be all about killing, killing, killing, and he is unlikely to accept tasks of arresting. If the scope of his business is too broad, he will become a free man and an agency.

Although there is no strict definition in this regard, calling yourself by your profession can often indirectly reflect a person's positioning of himself.

“Actually, it’s not a warrant for arrest. Even though it’s said there are zombies, we’re not sure if they really exist. There are just some suspicious traces.” Jiang Si explained to Zheng Fan’s doubts.

"There have been several unusual death cases in the Sun Community of Jiangwen Street. All the deceased showed abnormal symptoms of poisoning, and their bodies changed after death. However, before further changes, some bodies were secretly taken away, and the rest were taken away by the disposal bureau for disposal."

Zheng Fan was stunned: "Then what else can you do? I don't see why you can kill anyone in this incident."

"My target is the unknown murderer." Jiang Si said, "The family of the deceased offered a large sum of money to kill the murderer. Since Huishengzhong couldn't spare the effort, I outsourced the task to Xicai."

"Wow, are we actually working for the current hostile forces?" Zheng Fan said in a slightly exaggerated tone.

"Yeah, Mr. Devil, don't you like it? Do you feel sorry for Miss Witch?"

"Not at all."

"As expected of a devil."

The Sun Community is not far from the concert venue and can be reached quickly by walking.

As the Red World overlaps, the streets of Xinjiang will be very quiet tonight, at least in most cities. As the night before the storm, as the sky darkens, the streets gradually become quieter.

The number of police officers and members of the processing bureau increased significantly along the way, making Jiang Si's progress a little more covert. After all, she had been led by Zheng Fan to do several big things in a row during this period. Although she had not yet achieved any very heavyweight results, so she was not yet wanted by a high-intensity wanted list, but if her whereabouts were discovered, it would definitely attract unnecessary attention.

The conditions in the Sun Community can be considered upper-middle class among the streets in Xinjiang Wen. The streets are clean and tidy, the buildings are tall and short, and there is even a villa area for the rich.

Although I don’t know why the truly rich would be so stupid to buy villas in such a gray area, considering the overall appearance of Jiangwen Street, it is not an exaggeration.

Even though things don’t seem so peaceful recently, it doesn’t wipe out all the hard work of previous years.

It's better than Xixikoko.

Jiang Si came to an underground bar in the Sun Community. It was completely different from the bar she often went to. Loud music could be heard inside.

When you walk in, you can see many people dancing and drinking. It is true that even if the worlds overlap, it does not prevent some people from being afraid at all, after all, it is only the overlapping of the red world, not the black world.

Jiang Si came to the bar and handed over a note. The bartender took it and confirmed it, then gestured to the back: "Go inside to the fourth room. What would you like to drink?"

"Maotai."

"This doesn't happen often." Zheng Fan said.

The bartender took a look and brought a bottle of Moutai.

“It actually exists.”

He was about to open it when Jiang Si reached out and took the whole bottle away: "Ask the agent for the money."

As he said that, he unscrewed the bottle cap, took a sip and went in.

In the fourth private room, Jiang Si knocked on the door with wine in hand and went in after receiving a response. He smelled a foul odor as soon as he entered. Jiang Si frowned and the Moutai in his mouth hit his nose.

"The Red Line Killer?" the person in the box asked in a low voice.

As a bar box, the table in the middle was not filled with drinks but a large body bag, which was also the source of the stench.

There was a man sitting next to him drinking a simple cocktail.

"Well, take a look at the body." Jiang Si said directly.

The other party looked at Jiang Si and asked, "Isn't it too early for you to become a murderer at this age?"

"Maybe a little bit."

The other party shrugged, had no opinion, and stretched out his hand to open the body bag. The corpse inside was pale and bluish, with hardened skin and sharp fangs sticking out of its mouth. It was just short of changing into a standard suit to turn into a zombie and start moving.

All the characteristics are consistent with Zheng's impression of zombies. It is really fresh to see them with his own eyes for the first time. Dadu is a place with many talented people and everything.

If we ignore these characteristics of corpse transformation, then this corpse should have been a handsome young man in his previous life.

"The bodies of the victims provided by the family are willing to be used to track down the murderer. We hope that they will be kept as intact as possible during the process."

"If you guarantee that it's intact, do you intend to take it home and worship it?" Zheng Fan complained at the right time.

Then Zheng Fan said it casually, and Jiang Si also repeated it directly.

The other person drank the cocktail and looked at Jiang Si grimly.

Jiang Si picked up the Moutai and took a sip provocatively.

Not only is it a little early for her to become a murderer, it may also be a little early for her to drink Maotai.

So the other party just shrugged and said, "It's up to you. I'm just trying my best anyway. You can't guarantee your safety with this thing. The zombies transform very quickly and it may stand up at any time. If it interferes with your work, you're welcome to do whatever you want."

"Then...huh?"

Jiang Si was about to say something, but suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" the other party asked.

boom!
Suddenly, the ceiling of the box collapsed with a loud bang, and most of the lights in the box went out, leaving only one light intact.

It was just that the light bulb was swaying by the string, flickering on and off.

Jiang Si and the person who was handing over the body reacted quickly and withdrew. During this time, Jiang Si smelled a faint fragrance. At the same time, under the flickering light, they saw a creepy figure tearing the corpse on the table into pieces.

Zheng Fan stood there the entire time, his expression not changing at all.

"I can't stand up now," he said.
