The words of the gravekeeper at the Rose Cemetery can be considered as a solid statement, allowing the "Liu Xings" to confirm that the ghouls are active in the Rose Cemetery, and if "Liu Xing" and others really want to confirm this , you can also come to the Rose Cemetery in the middle of the night, because a corpse has just been buried today, and the ghouls are likely to come to dig up the corpse.
"By the way, I remember that cremation became popular in the island country a long time ago. After all, the island country has a lot of people and little land. Burial is too land-consuming. But looking at Ziwu City, people seem to be doing cremation." Liu Xing Suddenly thinking of this, he spoke.
Chen Wenbin nodded and said with a smile: "I have been in the island country for more than ten years, and I have been to many cities. I found that cremation is indeed popular here, but I don't know why. I heard the introduction from the tombkeeper at the Rose Cemetery. , Ziwu City has never built a crematorium. The mayors of Ziwu City in the past generations have tacitly ignored this point, and the residents of Ziwu City are naturally happy to do so. After all, in the traditional thinking of island residents, burial must be It will be much better than cremation."
Yin En on the side also interjected at this time: "I heard my grandfather say before that the ancients believed that a dead person should have a complete body, so that the soul of the deceased can go to the underworld safely and be reincarnated as a human being. And those who died After arriving in the underworld, those who are unlucky will be sent directly to the animal realm. Those who are lucky will be reincarnated as human beings, but they will also be born with disabilities. As for cremation, the deceased may disappear into ashes. , do not enter reincarnation."
Liu Xing nodded. What Yin En said is indeed the view believed by those in the older generation. However, in the world under the background of the Cthulhu mythology, Liu Xing will still support cremation. After all, burial will cause corpses to be eaten. Ghosts provide large amounts of food. . . That’s weird!
To be honest, ghouls are not worthy of their name. They are not scavengers. Compared with corpses, ghouls prefer to hunt live prey. Fresh flesh and blood will definitely be much more delicious than rotted dried meat.
Therefore, ghouls in various regions will honestly choose to dig up corpses for a living unless they are fighting alone, or if the overall strength of the ghoul group is too different from the overall strength of local humans. Under other circumstances, ghouls will definitely find opportunities to attack humans, especially in big cities where cremation is fully implemented.
"But having said that, if Ziwu City has always been buried, and the food of the local ghouls is very abundant, then why do these ghouls attack the homeless people in the park recently? And it is not so much an attack. I I feel like these ghouls have captured these homeless people. After all, if the ghouls want to attack humans, they will definitely leave a lot of traces, and those homeless people who disappeared in the park are all silent, no The one who left traces disappeared, why is this?" Some vague thoughts suddenly appeared in Liu Xing's mind, but Liu Xing always felt that there was still something missing, and he would be able to come into contact with the truth.
Yin and En were also deep in thought after hearing this. Something was obviously wrong. Under normal circumstances, when ghouls hunt humans, they would not care about leaving any traces. After all, the corpses would be taken away by the ghouls and left in place. The blood stains will only be regarded as a murder. It is definitely impossible for ordinary police to connect the case to the ghoul, so the ghoul does not need to do anything extra and be careful not to leave any traces.
In terms of the intelligence and ability of the ghouls, it is easy for them to capture the homeless people silently, but why do they do this is the real question.
Suddenly, Liu Xing thought of a possibility and said: "Ghouls definitely don't store food for the winter, so I think these ghouls arrest homeless people for some kind of human experiment! And in those days, The great hero Tomohiko Sawada has now become a murderer, so the traitors who betrayed Tomohiko Sawada back then are very likely not to disappear after the divine punishment, but to become ghouls and hide, and this is a black market The southwest area of is within the activity range of the Man-Slayer Demon, so these traitors who have become ghouls do not dare to operate in this area. Therefore, if Chen Wenbin has the opportunity to ask Bai Shizhi again, just ask Bai Shizhi In the parks in the southwest area of Urumqi, will the number of missing homeless people be less than in other areas? If we can get a positive answer, then we can draw a conclusion that the ghouls are most likely those who betrayed Ze. Tian Youyan became a traitor, and the Slayer and the Ghoul should be in a state of opposition."
In the world under the Cthulhu mythology system, most of the first generation of ghouls were born under the curse. Only a small number of the first generation of ghouls were created by fanatics or magicians who believed in the Ghoul King Melkidian. Magicians were transformed through certain means, especially those ghoul elders. Many of them were voluntarily transformed by magicians who pursued immortality after summoning the ghoul king Melkidian. It belongs to the ghoul elder, which can be regarded as explaining why the ghoul elder has so many spells.
Liu Xing's words made Chen Wenbin and others nod repeatedly, because Liu Xing's idea was indeed very possible, after all, this is the characteristic of ghouls.
"If these ghouls are traitors, then the Man-Slayer Demon should take the initiative to attack them. After all, it was these traitors who killed the Man-Slayer Demon, but these ghouls should not be able to defeat the Man-Slayer Demon. After all, The Killer Demon can kill a row of ghouls in seconds with one strike." Yin En said with a smile.
"By the way, if the ghouls really want to capture those homeless people for experiments, what kind of experiments do you think these ghouls will do?" Liu Xingfa asked.
Chen Wenbin chuckled and said with certainty: "That's needless to say. If these ghouls are really the cursed traitors, then they must want to change back into human form, so I think they captured those homeless people, I think I want to transform these homeless people into ghouls, and then study how to transform ghouls into humans.”
"You're right, I think so too. These ghouls are probably studying how to transform back into human form. However, as far as the current situation is concerned, the research progress of ghouls should have just begun. Maybe we can have a chance. We have reached cooperation with these ghouls." Liu Xing said with a smile.
"What, Liu Xing, you want to cooperate with the ghoul?!" Yin En said with a confused look on his face.
