Chapter 17 end
This is the end of this story. When you see this, do you have an urge to hit me?In fact, I also had the urge to hit someone.
The beginning of the story is very clear, but the ending becomes more and more blurred, which is the gap between fiction and reality.
It doesn't matter if you call me anticlimactic or have a beginning but no end.This story is not diverted by my meager strength, it has its destination.
However, it is still necessary for me to explain the whole story clearly to you.
The bodies of eighteen people were found in coffins.
Seventeen of them, according to Xi Xiaoyun's confirmation, are all missing high-level officials from Zhoushui University.
These people died miserably, with scratches all over their bodies, and the fatal injuries, without exception, were brutally broken necks.
At the bottom of the coffin was an ancient corpse, a woman's corpse, shriveled and ugly, with only flesh and skeleton left.It should be the owner of the Chastity Archway.
Surprisingly, according to the forensic examination, the 17 high-level officials of Zhoushui University died on the same day, and the time of death was more than a month. The fingerprints taken from the broken neck were very strange. There is only a little contact surface in the center of the finger meat left.
By accident, I took the fingerprints off the female corpse and compared them with a computer, and they matched perfectly!
Could it be that this female corpse that had been dead for hundreds of years killed those seventeen people?It's incredible.Moreover, why did the ancient corpse kill them?
In the following month, I consulted a large number of local county annals, but found nothing.
Not long ago, I accidentally found an ancient book in an unremarkable second-hand bookstore, which actually recorded some events of that year.
During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, the Deng family in Zhoushui County was well-known and powerful in the local area.Until the third generation head of the Deng family married a woman named Zhang Yuyan.
This Zhang Yuyan is also a lady from a famous family, she is very beautiful, and the head of the Deng family can be said to be a man of talent and beauty, and the marriage of the two became a good story in the local area for a while.
But the two have never been destined.
Since the two families were separated by more than a hundred miles, the bridegroom ran into a thieves on his way to pick up the bride with the team one day before the wedding.He just disappeared!
Although Zhang Yuyan did not marry into the Deng family, she had the words of a matchmaker before and the orders of her parents later. At the persistent request of the elders of the Deng family, in order to offset the consequences of the disappearance of the head of the Deng family, in the end she decided to marry her as the hostess. She married into the Deng family.
She has been waiting for her husband to come back since she was sixteen, and she has been waiting for sixty years.
According to the book, this Zhang Yuyan's body is very strange, since she married into Deng's family, her appearance has never changed.Even before she died, she was seventy-six years old and still looked sixteen.
Therefore, there has never been a maid in her house. Many locals call her a witch, the incarnation of a hellish ghost. Some Taoist priests even come to her door directly to say that she is Kefu, and that after death, her soul will linger and bring disaster to the entire Deng family.
When Zhang Yuyan died, it was indeed as described by the Taoist priest. Her death was extremely terrifying, and her whole body withered away.Because of this, the Deng family invited the old Taoist back and spent a lot of money to build the layout I saw.
Unfortunately, even so, it did not prevent the tragedy from coming.
Soon after her death, Zhoushui County began to be infected with a strange disease.
It's a strange disease that affects women first.The symptoms are also very strange. The infected girl will become more and more beautiful, but when the beauty reaches the peak, the whole person will wither and wither as if she has exhausted the nutrition of a lifetime, and then die tragically.
After a while, the men also began to get sick.
After they get infected, their masculine characteristics begin to disappear, their bodies begin to feminize, and finally wither and die.But the only difference from women after death is that densely packed small white flowers will grow on their hearts. Those small flowers are crystal clear, tender and beautiful, with a hint of enchantment.
Many people died, and many nearby counties also discovered the strangeness of Zhoushui County, and they regarded the disease as a terrible plague.Neighboring counties spontaneously isolated Zhoushui County from themselves, and sent a large number of people to drive back the escaped people from Zhoushui County every day.Finally, the county was alarmed.
There was only one way to deal with the massive and utterly incurable plague.
The princess sent an army to drive everyone in Zhoushui County into a large cave nearby.And that's how the bones we found came from!
But they gradually discovered that as long as they stay on the land of Zhoushui County for a period of time, humans will get sick.So Zhoushui County was also closed and isolated, and gradually disappeared into history.
After reading this dusty past, I went to the Zhoushui Town Museum and carefully inspected the century-old corpse named Zhang Yuyan.
In the end, I managed to find twenty-five ribs on her body.
As we all know, as long as there are only twenty-four ribs in human beings, there are twelve ribs on the left and right sides, but this Zhang Yuyan has thirteen ribs on the right side.And the twenty-fifth rib was completely different from the other twenty-four. According to the identification, it should belong to a certain male.
The answer, doesn't require much guesswork.Can cause such a big noise, can have such a big strange ability, as far as I know, only one human bone can do it.
That's it.
One more thing, the police found the bones of Zhang Li and others in that huge cave several months later.
Zhang Li's corpse has become feminized. He died terribly, his whole body rotted and withered, his chest was dug open alive, and his heart was full of Udumbara flowers.It was the five remaining girls from the Beautiful Society who dug his chest open.
The five of them bit each other and killed each other. After No. 5 killed everyone, she also died due to excessive blood loss.When she died, she desperately stretched her right hand towards Zhang Li, as if there was something on Zhang Li that could save her life.
Wu Ping also died, and was found dead in her rented room.Wither and die.
All the puzzles are solved.
It was only later that I realized that the so-called trustees in the mouth of the Beautiful Society really meant literally.
The so-called sustenance is pregnancy.Of course, it is not a human baby, but a Udumbara flower.
Eating the Udumbara flower planted on the heart of the trustee can not only preserve the beauty brought by the curse, but also save life.
As for Li Xinjie, I still haven't come to a conclusion as to who she is. Since she exposed herself, she has disappeared.The beautiful acting principal, Wang Yuyin, also disappeared with her.
Based on various inferences from the results, it is certain that the two of them must be the code names No. 1 and No. 2 of the Beautiful Society, and they are also the main planners of this incident.
It was they who re-excavated the curse that had been buried for hundreds of years.Even in order to better control the entire school, he did not hesitate to use some means to kill the powerful senior officials of the entire school.
Regarding these two people, the old man and I have some guesses, the worst kind of guess is that that person's subordinates.
That person is Lu Ping.
He finally stretched out his dirty hands to Mr. Chen's bones.
Well, the story is over.
In the end, I have to remind everyone.Everything in this world needs to be paid for. It is gratifying to be beautiful, but it should not be exchanged for health and life.
Everything that brings you beauty is actually dangerous.We all know that many beauty products claim to make you fairer, clearer and more beautiful.But everyone knows that as long as it is a whitening product, it contains more or less mercury in the middle, and mercury is highly toxic that can corrode the skin.
After the whole incident, I returned to the old man Yang Junfei's detective agency to write a report.The dead man handed me a copy of the data.
"What is this?" I asked without looking up.
"The investigation report on your recent little lover." The old man had a strange smile on his face, and he blinked at me: "Xiao Ye, since when did you like this kind of alien beauty?"
"What is a different kind of beauty, Xi Xiaoyun is a big beauty." I curled my lips.
The old man still couldn't stop laughing, "You guys really have a problem with your appreciation level. In short, this girl's identity is indeed correct!"
"That's good." I casually opened the file folder, took out the data and put it in my hand, just glanced at it, and my stomach was churning.
Standing up suddenly, I was trembling all over, "Who is this?"
"It's that Xi Xiaoyun!"
"impossible!"
As soon as the words fell, I was stunned, and a terrible thought appeared in my heart.Thinking of the intense kiss with that girl, I couldn't help the nausea in my stomach, and I vomited.
Xi Xiaoyun's photo slowly fell from the table to the ground. In the photo was a smiling ape-like creature, suspected to be a woman.She has a figure of more than 90 kilograms, her facial features are naturally distorted, her nose is thick, and her black and shiny nose hair protrudes from her nostrils upside down.
This is exactly what Xi Xiaoyun really looked like before playing the crossroads game.
In this era, everything is fake, even the appearance may not be true.
Damn, what era is this!
I spit out at least three days worth of nutrients in my stomach into the toilet, I wiped my mouth, and looked out the window of the bathroom.The blue sky in Monte Hob is unbelievably beautiful.
A new challenge is about to begin.
Just who is the final winner?Us, or Lu Ping?
have no idea!
who knows?
For my own life, I was once again confused.
