I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1243: The Three-Headed and Six-Armed Monster
Chapter 1243: Chapter 1243: The Three-Headed and Six-Armed Monster
Due to the existence of the Chu Sect, the member information of the supernatural detective society is treated as a secret, and those who have worked with the Supernatural Detective Agency are usually in the know; they wouldn’t idly go around leaking members’ information, especially yours, as the President. As a result, most people outside don’t recognize you, which has made your work much more convenient.
In your understanding, what ordinary people call "monsters" are probably just some with slightly deformed bodies, likely possessed by evil spirits.
Exiting the elevator, both you and Zong Wangyue couldn’t help but jump in fright; standing outside the elevator were about a dozen people, most of them with backpacks and a voice recorder sticking out of their pockets, obviously members of the news media.
"How many news outlets did that woman notify, even the online media are here!" Zong Wangyue exclaimed in surprise.
"Anyway, let’s go in and take a look first."
Zong Wangyue nodded, quickly stepped forward, and squeezed through the crowd using his hefty body.
Following Zong Wangyue to the door, only to find a fat woman with curled hair, wearing pajamas, a facial mask, and gnawing on sugarcane blocking the entrance.
As she saw you two approaching, she stretched out a hand as big as a fan: "One thousand per person."
"A thousand? You’re bloody robbing us!" Zong Wangyue glared at her fiercely, "We’re from the press, you called us over just now."
The woman sneered coldly: "I never made any calls."
"I made the call, and I’ll pay the money!"
At this moment, another woman dressed in professional attire approached quickly. She took out a bundle of money from her slightly worn-out and corner-torn wallet from an equally old bag.
"Zongzi, give her the money."
"Okay!"
Without needing to say more, Zong Wangyue had already paid the fat woman, and he handed over three thousand yuan at once.
"Big sister, since you’re the one who made the call, please join us and go inside."
"Mhm."
The woman in professional attire nodded, her eyes filled with gratitude towards you and Zong Wangyue.
The fat woman, having received the money, naturally let the three of you in.
The professional attire woman seemed quite familiar with the place and led you two around a corner into a small corridor, then stopping in front of the door of the room at the very end.
She turned around, her expression somber: "Please don’t be shocked by what you see inside the room."
Zong Wangyue said with a smile: "Big sister, we’re professional journalists; we’ve seen all sorts of bizarre things, so don’t worry."
You patted Zong Wangyue on the shoulder, then asked the woman: "Big sister, what relation are you to the child?"
"I am his aunt; he’s my elder sister’s child."
"So your elder sister definitely isn’t that fat woman by the door, right?"
The professional-dressed woman shook her head: "My elder sister died in a car accident three years ago, and my brother-in-law used her insurance money to buy this apartment and took this woman as his wife. Ironically, it was I who introduced her to my brother-in-law. My brother-in-law is a hard-working and capable man, and he and my sister were considered a model couple. But after the car accident, my brother-in-law also became more reticent."
Zong Wangyue shrugged his shoulders: "You can’t blame anyone for that, that woman must have resented you for introducing her to him."
"No, it’s not like that. She wasn’t this fat before, had a rather slim figure and was quite amiable, but for some unknown reason, she suddenly changed. She became more and more mercenary, more and more greedy, and though she didn’t beat or scold the children, she neglected them. Over time, the child turned into what he is now."
You reached out and grabbed the doorknob, saying to the two, "Let’s go in and check on the child first."
When you pushed the door and entered, you were stunned, not just you, Zong Wangyue who peeked in was also dumbfounded by the scene before him.
"What... what’s going on here?" Zong Wangyue rubbed his eyes, somewhat in disbelief of what he saw.
It was a very ordinary children’s room, and the only thing worth mentioning was the two desks in the corner with two computers on them. At this moment, a monster with six arms, three heads, and one body was wearing a headset and playing League of Legends and Dota on two computers separately, while another pair of hands and a head were playing the mobile game Honor of Kings.
He was playing very seriously, and all three mouths were talking non-stop; his eyes were already bloodshot, all three faces appeared thin, and the eye sockets were so deep that his dark circles could compete with a panda’s.
"How, how did another head appear!?" The professional-dress woman exclaimed.
"Yes, another head has appeared, so I bought him a phone, hmph, I want to see how long it will take for him to play himself to death!" The fat woman somehow was already standing behind the three, and her gaze filled with hatred and resignation as she looked at the monster in the room.
"Huilan, how can you say such things!" The professional-dress woman tightly clenched the shoulders of the fat woman, with confusion, helplessness, and sorrow on her face.
"Why can’t I say it? Why can’t I?" The fat woman shook off the professional-dress woman’s hands, pointed at the monster in the room, and said, "You go ask him! How have I treated him in the past three years!? What gives him the right to treat me this way!? For him, I had two abortions in secret! I cared more for him than my own parents! But him? What has he given me? All day long he knows only to play games, play games! Look at him, look at him! To play games, he grew two more heads and four more hands!!"
You turned your head to look at the fat woman, who you hadn’t noticed much before, but now found that she was entwined with two strands of a black aura. This aura instinctively made you feel disgusted, and you had felt this aura yesterday night in the underground passage!
The huge egg released the same aura!
As for the boy who is still indulging in games with Three Heads and Six Arms, although he is also enveloped in an aura that makes you feel repulsive, it is clearly different from the aura on the woman. In fact, the woman’s aura seems much more concentrated.
In such a small room, it turned out that two people were afflicted, which caught you off guard and left you somewhat at a loss for immediate action.
If such things are happening ceaselessly in the city, then humanity is not far from extinction!
For now, it is more urgent to deal with what’s in front of you.
Without saying much more, a glimmer of pale blue light flickered in your eyes, and at once, eight yellow cinnabar charms flew swiftly out of your pocket, circling above the boy’s head.
Interestingly, the boy was still immersed in his games, utterly indifferent to what was happening around him.
As you formed several hand seals in quick succession, those eight yellow cinnabar charms swiftly formed a formation and radiated a yellow light.
This light then coalesced into an energy shield that slowly enveloped the boy within it.
It was only at this moment that the boy realized something was wrong. His other two heads and four arms paused at the same time, and he suddenly turned towards you!
