Plague Doctor

"I saw a lot of hallucinations. Those corpses were empty, and their souls had been devoured while they were still alive. Maybe there is an evil organization like Laisheng Company doing a sacrificial summoning ritual, and some abnormal existence is devouring it. Their spirits; perhaps they themselves are summoning a legendary creature...the ghoul."

Gu Jun returned to the fifth floor of the Jiejie Building, entered an office where Professor Qin, Yao Shinian and others were, and told them what he had just gained from the illusion.

"I saw in a cemetery somewhere, there was this kind of alien stealing corpses and eating."

"Well..." Yao Shinian suddenly pulled a long face, and Professor Qin frowned. This might have a lot of implications.

Tang Zhifeng was a little confused, ghoul? It’s not that you doubt the existence of this kind of alien, but you’re not mentally prepared…

"I want to know if the Secret Bureau has caught any ghouls?" Gu Jun asked, "Are there any dead or alive ones before and now?"

He had some expectations in his heart. If there was any, he would immediately pick up the knife and perform an autopsy.

"It's just that there have been cases of corpse thieves and corpse cannibals." Yao Shinian's authority level was clear about this. He shook his head and sighed: "But with the kind of ghoul you described, there may be some legendary information. There is no definite information. record."

Gu Jun's heart sank, this was even worse.

The system will place "ghouls" in abyss missions. This kind of alien must have its own terrifying features, and its appearance will bring serious consequences.

However, if the Secret Bureau has control, it means that the "ghoul" is not too special.

Just now...

"I will report this situation immediately." Yao Shinian added, "Let the Investigation Department and Action Department conduct a comprehensive inspection of all cemeteries in Dongzhou City."

"Commander Yao, let everyone be careful." Gu Jun reminded seriously, "I believe that ghouls are very dangerous, and guns are not absolutely safe."

"Well, the mission will be at the highest alert level." Yao Shinian's face was full of seriousness, and he walked away with his mobile phone.

Gu Jun remembered something, it was also about aliens, and asked Professor Qin: "I know I don't have enough authority, but I want to know what the aliens our students dissected in the medical skills competition were like and whether they are related. They come from a different world, I'm sure of this."

He had always wanted to know this, but he had no chance to find out before entering the banyan tree cave. Only now did he have some autonomy after leaving the banyan tree cave.

"Okay." Professor Qin showed no embarrassment, "Now you have the green light, and it's only an F-level file."

Gu Jun was stunned for a moment, was it just F-level?

"The bureau named that kind of alien being 'Dead Skin Man'." Professor Qin said, and asked He Qing, the leader of the anatomy team, to turn on the computer and let Gu Jun look at the files.

The computer on the desk can be connected to the Tianji Bureau's LAN. There are F-level and G-level files in the database, which can be accessed as long as the account number is suitable.

Of course, the G-level personnel of the Medical Department cannot find the G-level files of the Investigation Department, but Professor Qin's account already has cross-department permissions for this low-level file.

He Qing, who was listening nearby, was actually as confused as Tang Zhifeng. He went to turn on the computer. After Professor Qin logged into his account and opened the file, Gu Jun sat down on the office chair in front of the computer and started browsing silently.

So far, Dead Skin Men have only appeared together once. It was around a mountain village in southern Dongzhou. A total of 1,872 Dead Skin Men appeared and attacked and injured people.

Due to timely handling, the operations department extinguished them at the cost of only 41 injured and 5 casualties. All casualties occurred during the search phase.

Due to the dead skin layer blocking them, tranquilizer bombs are ineffective against them. During the frontal firefight, most of the dead skinned people were killed by heavy fire weapons. This alien creature is extremely strong in body and has intelligence higher than that of wild beasts. It knows that it cannot fight, so it runs away.

But in the end, they all had no way out, could not understand the negotiations, and behaved very manically. They all died of acute cardiopulmonary failure shortly after being captured.

And the ten chests they dissected that day were all parts of a dead man whose head had been shot directly during the firefight.

The file states that the origin of the Dead Skin Man and how it appeared in Dongzhou are still unclear. It was originally considered by the investigation team to be an independent incident unrelated to the Yirong Disease. Later, after Gu Jun said that the two were the same incident, Mark a questionable relationship.

Later, after the multiple passages of the Banyan Tree Cave were determined and he blew up the exotic banyan forest and came out, the investigation team found a newly fallen large banyan tree in the mountains near the mountain village.

This almost proved his statement that those dead-skinned people may have come to this world through the banyan tree passage.

However... "Higher intelligence than a beast?" Gu Jun muttered in confusion.

The behavior of these dead-skinned people in the files, their choices of intentions during the escape, etc. do not show intelligence equivalent to or higher than that of humans...

Although they are strategic, many beasts are also strategic. The Secret Bureau's judgment is that the intelligence of Dead Skin Man is approximately equivalent to that of uncivilized primitive savages.

This situation is not consistent with the kind of aliens recorded in Langton's map that destroyed the alien world together with hemoptysis.

"Professor Qin." Gu Jun said his doubts truthfully, "I once had a hallucination revelation when I was in the foreign world. This is a creature whose intelligence is only higher than that of humans."

"Oh? Their average brain capacity is 1000ml." Professor Qin gave some data, "Chimpanzees are 350ml-450ml, and we Homo sapiens are 1400ml-1600ml. Their brain capacity is very large, and existing research cannot understand it. Why don't they show higher levels of intelligence?"

Although the relationship between intelligence and brain capacity has never been completely determined, there should still be some direct relationship between the two.

Gu Jun's heart sank. If something went wrong, it wouldn't be a good thing...

how so? Aren't they actually the same category? Subtype? Degenerated?

"Either it's because of time..." Gu Jun thought in his mind, "Time will change a lot. I don't know how many generations ago the destruction of the foreign civilization happened. Did the dead skin people degenerate for various reasons in that world? And again? Or...are these just some poor fakes that have come to this world?"

When he had this idea, would he create or summon a fake in the next life? replica?

Why isn't it genuine? Is it because of the lack of conditions for realization, or the lack of ability to control...

Is there any connection between this and the ghoul that appears now?

At this time, Yao Shinian hurried back to the office from outside. His face was both heavy and excited, and he said to everyone:

"The investigation team just found out that the public security system here in Dongzhou received a report yesterday that the cemetery was stolen and dug up."

Love the Plague Doctor.
