World War I

Chapter 39 Can the Dead Still Talk?

Sonia called the duty phone of the county police station, and the person on duty told her that unfortunately, the forensic doctor fell down the stairs for some unknown reason on the evening of July 7, broke his head, and could not be saved.

Sonia asked Chris to deal with Mark while she called the county hospital.

"County Hospital? I'm Officer Sonya from the Kursk Police Department. Connect me to the director's office immediately. I'm looking for Director Loli. Yes, it's an emergency!"

After a while, the dean's voice came from the phone.

"Sonia, what happened?"

"Dean, without further explanation, could you please check if Sheriff Mark's body is still there? Medical Examiner Dougal, I, and Officer Chris brought it in together. The body is labeled 10932."

Dean: "Then please hold on for a moment. Let me ask."

Three minutes later, the dean replied, "I'm sorry, but we don't have a body tag for 10932 in the hospital. Did you make a mistake?"

Sonia was furious. "Is the employee on duty that night here? I remember his name was Ladin."

"You mean Latin, right? He died of a heart attack."

"Are you sure there's no body tag for 10932?"

"No, it's not in the register."

"OK, thanks."

Sonya refused to give up and went to the county hospital morgue in person.

As a result, the freezer where the body was stored was empty.

Chris looked at the wall clock anxiously, and at this moment, a police car drove into the town police station.

Deputy Chief Anthony of the County Police Department got out of the police car. Chris heard the sound of the police car's engine and hurried out.

"What about people?"

"In his own office."

"He called me to Taki's office."

"Ok."

When Anthony arrived at the town police station, Deputy Sheriff Mark asked, "Chief Anthony, you're finally back. What happened? As soon as I got back, these two people said I was dead and sent me to the morgue."

When talking about this, Mark was still angry and glared at Sonya and Chris.

"Then please tell me what happened after you and Taki went to the base."

"That's exactly what I wanted to report to you. Taki and the others and I entered the base, only to discover it was trapped. We entered Lab 8, which was filled with metal cages and various instruments. Someone flipped a switch, and the ground caved in. Yassan, Diabo, and Baclo all fell into the tunnel. After the tunnel door closed, many monsters suddenly rushed out from all around. Irina was captured, and Sheriff Taki went to rescue her. There was no power in the base, and it was useless even if we found the start switch. I was afraid that anyone who fell into the pit would suffocate, so Luo Ye and I hurried back to report. But we didn't expect to encounter a terrifying creature with a huge head like a human. The pistol was too ineffective against it, so I had to run away. It chased us relentlessly, and we couldn't shake it off. We accidentally crashed into a tree, and Luo Ye was thrown out of the car and rolled into the river. That's roughly what happened."

"Did you walk back?"

"I took a ride on a farm tractor along the way and then stopped a car on Highway 702."

"Do you remember what a tractor driver looks like?"

"remember."

"What about the license plate?"

"It was dark and gloomy. I didn't remember it."

Anthony took a deep breath and asked, "You didn't see the license plate of that car clearly. Was it accidental or intentional?"

Mark immediately became excited: "Chief, you mean I lied, right? Everything I said was a lie? I escaped death, and you actually doubted me. What on earth are you doing!" Anthony stared at him with his eyes fixed.

"Okay, Chief, I'm calm. I'll calm down."

After a while, he asked, "Is that coward Luo Ye really still alive?"

"Yes, he's still alive. I have a question. When you called the police, you said he was caught up by the pursuers and was killed. This is different from what you're saying now."

"It's true. After our police car was damaged, I saw that man holding a knife walking towards the direction where Luo Ye fell. He was dead. Later, after I finished the phone call, I fainted."

"Why didn't the pursuer kill you?"

"I don't know what happened. I was stuck in the car and I didn't know what was going on."

The deputy sheriff in front of me is clearly a living person, how could he be dead?

Anthony thought for a while and said, "How about this, Mark? How about you go get a physical examination?"

Mark immediately roared again: "Do you suspect that I am a zombie?"

"Mark, calm down for a moment and write a written report. The more detailed the better. Let me think about it."

Mark: “I want to go to my office and write.”

"Allow me to write slowly."

In the yard of the police station, Anthony smoked half a pack of cigarettes and didn't know who he should trust.

"Director——"

"Sonia, Chris, please be quiet. There's only one truth. Keep an eye on him. Don't let him run around, and don't let him come into contact with outsiders."

Sonya looked embarrassed.

"Oh, he's your superior, it's okay, I'll send you some guys right away. This is fucking weird."

Mark had just finished writing the handwritten materials when people from the county police station arrived.

"Director, what are you doing?"

"Mark, I'm not trying to embarrass you. I believe you and everything I see, but I also believe Sonya and Chris. So, you can't go anywhere now. You can only stay at the police station."

Since the director said so, Mark said: "I obey, I'm not going anywhere. This is what I wrote, and I'm done."

Anthony looked at his report, folded it, put it in his pocket, and touched it for fear of dropping it.

As soon as Anthony left, the police officers from the county police station looked at Mark curiously.

One of them also knew Mark.

"Deputy Sheriff Mark, we all heard that you died in the line of duty. How did you survive? Your body was even sent to the hospital."

"Feodor, stop talking nonsense and come to my office for a drink."

"No, we are on a mission. Thank you for your cooperation."

Mark: "Since you don't give me face, then I'll drink it by myself. I drink it alone. I also want to figure out whether I am still alive. Damn, I'm actually dead. How can I still talk when I'm dead!"

Mark walked into his office and closed the door with a bang.

Several people came to the constable's office.

Sonya was still in a daze, and Chris was also staring at the ceiling in a daze.
