The food was just delicious, and someone suddenly shouted that something happened outside. We put down our bowls and went out to take a look.

I heard someone shouting that people from all households have come out, and there are 20 or 30 people surrounding a young man.

The young man who surrounded the middle gasped and said, "It's dead again, it's definitely the evil spirit who did it. Run away."

Everyone was chattering and talking nonstop, and a voice came from behind us: "There is no evil spirit? Don't be fooled by others. Believe in science and our police's ability to handle cases."

I turned around and saw a middle-aged policeman saying righteously.

"How do you believe you? The ninth one is dead. Can you solve the case if we all die?" An aunt said loudly.

Zhao Wuji walked up and whispered a few words to the policeman. The policeman felt relieved and pulled Zhao Wuji to the villagers and said, "This is a member of the task force sent by the leader. We all need to cooperate and we will definitely solve the case as soon as possible."

Everyone basically didn't respond after hearing this, and the few people showed a little excitement.

I grabbed Zhao Wuji and said, "Stop being slow, hurry up and check the body."

Zhao Wuji nodded and said, "Where is the body? Take me to see."

"The body is in the woods upstream of the Red Creek."

Zhao Wuji ordered the police to appease the villagers here, bring the guy who found the body and the police officer who just called out, and we went to the location of the body together.

Along the way, we learned that the policeman's surname is Mu and the captain of the policeman here. The guy who found the body was named Hong Erniu. He suddenly urinated on the way back to visit and went to the woods to find the body.

The corpse is a male, with a facial expression of about 40 years old, skinny and boneless, without a drop of blood on his body, but there are no obvious wounds on his body. This is strange. Since there is no wound, where does his blood flow out?

The characteristics of the deceased are in line with the description in the case file. If nothing unexpected happens, the corpses before should be similar.

I turned my head and said to Zhao Wuji, "How is it, have you seen something?"

Zhao Wuji shook his head and said, "I can't see anything at the moment."

Zhao Wuji ordered someone to carry the body back.

Only Zhao Wuji and I were left at the scene. Officer Mu looked at me a little worriedly before leaving. After Zhao Wuji explained to him, he went back with confidence.

"Why have you become a task force?" I had this question since I just now, and now I finally got a question.

Zhao Wuji replied: "That's a name. I can't say I'm a Taoist priest who came to catch ghosts."

"It's okay, you're not stupid enough." I replied.

"Okay, don't forget what we are doing."

I asked, "What? You have new discoveries."

Zhao Wuji had just bent down to investigate the scene, and now he straightened up and said to me: "The body was carrying a lot of evil spirits. Now I can only confirm that it was an evil spirit. I can't judge what the specific ghost is."

Since I saw the case file, I vaguely felt that the serial murders in Hongxi Village were related to the redness of the stream, but it was just an idea and there was no evidence.

I said, "Do we want to change the direction of the investigation?"

Zhao Wuji was a little puzzled and said, "What do you mean?"

"Don't you think it's strange that this stream suddenly turns red?"

"The police have sent someone to investigate. Although the reason why the stream turns red is unknown, there are no toxic side effects after it turns red." Zhao Wuji said, "What do you think?"

I said, "My idea is to go up the mountain during the day tomorrow. It is useless for us to stare at the scene like this. Since it has been confirmed that it was a crime, there will be no directive evidence left on the scene."

"Just do what you said." After saying that, Zhao Wuji turned around and walked back.

The next morning, we approached Officer Mu and went up the mountain together.

With the identity of Zhao Wuji's task force, our food and accommodation were arranged by the local police.

The environment in the guesthouse was pretty good. Each of us was a room with three of us. We slept well at night, so we were in good spirits today.

The mountain in Hongxi Village is not high. I learned from the villagers that the source of Hongxi is on the mountain. However, since the stream turned red, no villagers have gone up the mountain. They are either busy receiving tourists or no one dares to go up after the death, so the villagers do not know the reason for the stream turning red.

Under the leadership of Officer Mu, we successfully found the source of the stream. Even Officer Mu looked surprised because the water from the spring was clear.

Officer Mu: "This...what is going on? Is the stream water contaminated downstream?"

Zhao Wuji and I didn't talk, and we felt vaguely that this matter was not as simple as we thought.

We walked down the stream to find out why the stream turned red.

As we walked, a gust of cold wind blew over, "Why is it suddenly so cold?" Police Officer Mu said.

Seeing the Yin Feng, Zhao Wuji raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "It can be found." After that, he ran quickly towards the direction where the Yin Feng was blowing.

"Hey! Wait for me." Officer Mu acted to chase forward, but was stopped by me. I said, "The situation is a bit dangerous now. I will go to the front to find him. You go down the mountain and wait for us. If we haven't gone down the mountain in two hours, you can take someone to search the mountain."

"No, since there is danger, I have to protect you, if..."

"Do what I said." I yelled.

My roar seemed to scare Officer Mu. He was stunned at me for a while and said, "Yes." Then he ran down the mountain.

I never thought that I could command police officers in my life. It would be a little bit secretly to think about it.

I pushed away the grass in front of me and chased Zhao Wuji.

"Did you find something?" I asked.

Zhao Wuji stared at the grass and trees in front of him and said, "It seems to be a corpse."

"Is someone dead again?" My first reaction was that a dead body appeared again.

"No, it's a zombie." Zhao Wuji said coldly.

After he finished speaking, not only him, I also took a breath.

If these serial murders were made by zombies, the dead villagers would be infected with corpses, and the consequences of the corpse transformation would be unimaginable.

But it has been two months since the first dead corpse appeared, and it has changed a long time ago. Why hasn't it been moving yet?

The temperature around it dropped sharply.

"It may be coming." Zhao Wuji said vigilantly as he observed the surroundings.

I'm lucky to prepare for the fight, too.

A wild beast-like roar suddenly appeared in the grass in front of us.

I finally saw the zombies. I don’t know why I wasn’t afraid, but I was excited.
