The monster villain of the extraordinary world

Chapter 2 The Gunner

It rains pouring down at night, and there is an electronic waste recycling site that has been in operation for many years on the outskirts of this urban village called "Furong Village", and the mountains of garbage are also being shrouded in rain.

The rain dripped from the old TV screens placed in rows, and hit the pile of flip phones underneath. There were broken green circuit boards inserted in the pile of phones, and it was not known what electrical appliances they were removed from. .

At this time, next to the rusty red shipping container where the keeper of the recycling yard lived, an old yellow dog that was tied up suddenly exploded and barked towards the distant night sky.

Not long after, the guard looked over from the door of the container, but saw nothing, and the drunken cursing sounded:
"What's the name, it's been barking all night, stop barking, it's okay..."

There was the sound of rain, a short distance away from the container.

Lei Yue followed the crow in the night rain above, all the way from the apartment building to here, walking among the piles of electronic waste.

The path through the garbage dump is a shortcut from the village to the city, and many people come and go every day, and he often takes this path.

But at this time, he was alone on the road, and there was a strange strangeness around him.

something is wrong...

Lei Yue looked around suspiciously, and saw that the waste products everywhere were covered with a thick layer of fleshy slime, and the fungus was filled with a dark red liquid, which was expanding and flowing.

And in the dark crevices of the garbage dump, there are still many slightly glowing branches growing out, small and twisted, looking like vines and thorns, spreading in all directions.

The wind and rain poured into his nose with the smell of mold and earth, which made his nasal cavity ache.

This place is not like the usual recycling yard where people come and go, but like a wild wasteland that no one has stepped on for many years.

"What's the matter with those fungus plants? They weren't there when I passed by in the morning. Did I have a new hallucination?"

Lei Yue was surprised, so he took out his mobile phone from the pocket of the windbreaker, turned on the camera, turned on the flash, and took pictures of the visions around him.

This is an effective inspection method that he has used for many years. If the mobile phone can capture it, it means that it is "real", and others can see it. If it cannot be captured, it is his own "delusional hallucination". can see.

At this moment, he only saw the scene on the phone screen, which was exactly the same as what he saw with his own eyes.

"Others can see it too! It's not an illusion, it's just that this dump has become like this..."

Lei Yue looked to the left and right, and was a little dazed. Suddenly, the crow in the night sky no longer flew forward, but swooped down with black wings spread out.

In a splash of rain, it landed hard on his left shoulder with a click.

He almost couldn't stand up and fell over. Even if he stabilized, he felt heavy on his left shoulder. The crow's sharp claws seemed to have penetrated the windbreaker and embedded themselves in his flesh.

This is the first time he has had such close contact with it, and it came out of nowhere.

"Hello, friend..." Lei Yue turned his head to look at the crow, its pitch-black feathers were in front of him, like a huge black mountain.

The crow was silent, its abyss-like solemn eyes just stared ahead, without even looking at him.

Lei Yue was a little annoyed, but he was also a little excited that it really seemed to be leading the way, so he pretended to be acquainted and complained in order to alleviate the confusion: "Is my way out a trash guy, but if it's gold bars, that's fine, then you He knows how to lead the way.”

As he spoke, he stepped on the wet dirt road and walked forward.

There were more and more fungal plants everywhere, and after walking a dozen steps, he stopped abruptly and his pupils contracted just as he could clearly see the hazy scene in front of him.

"what the hell……"

Lei Yue was startled by the scene in front of him. He almost couldn't hold the phone and dropped it. He couldn't help but take a deep breath, but he almost choked and felt nauseous. The air here was extremely turbid.

He suppressed his astonishment, stabilized his hands and feet, and then used his mobile phone to take pictures of the tragic scene in the rain and fog ahead, and it was exactly the same as what he saw:
The torrential rain washed the blood that was about to congeal on the muddy ground, and there was clearly a strange bloody corpse over there.

It was vaguely a tall, middle-aged man, sitting on the dirt floor, with his back leaning against a stack of old-fashioned TVs several meters high.

The man was wearing an old overcoat, suit and leather shoes, and a short-barreled shotgun was lying on his right hand. The clothes and the gun were all black, and they were all stained with large areas of blood.

The man's chest and abdomen should have been cut open, and a large lump of internal organs drooped out. Red, brown, and black flesh and blood were mixed with liquid, falling apart.

Lei Yue couldn't tell where the heart was and where the kidneys were, but he could see that those organs were bloody and at the same time covered with a layer of moss-like microorganisms, and the circles of intestines in the abdomen were all shimmering. Kink vines.

Those molds and vines didn't know whether they grew from the corpse or were stuffed from the outside.

But the vividness of the light and color seems to be the root of the bacteria growing everywhere.

The man's head was right in the middle of an old TV screen. The outline of the middle-aged face was tough and calm, as if it was a close-up shot of a black and white movie.

"The mobile phone can take pictures, these fungus plants are real, and this murder case is also real..."

Lei Yue was stunned for a few seconds, then turned his head in a panic, turned his gaze and the camera of his mobile phone, and aimed at the crow on his shoulder.

He only saw on the screen of his mobile phone that his left shoulder was empty, and the left shoulder of the windbreaker didn't even have any wrinkles, just like the result shown before: this blackbird friend was his own delusional hallucination.

Delusional?no, no...

This crow, Lei Yue thought, is also real, but only he can see it.

The more he thought about it, the more certain he was of it.

It's what brought me here!Otherwise, I would never have come to this junkyard this night and encountered such a weird thing.

Maybe the crow was never a hallucination, maybe I was right from the start, there was no hallucination, other people couldn't see it, and the doctors were wrong.

However, Lei didn't have time to be happy about this, and his heart sank: What path is the crow leading now?

He looked at the crow on his shoulder and felt that its feathers were darker than ever.

The tension and anxiety I felt about it before are gradually reappearing. Crows feed on death and carrion...

"Huh." Lei Yue let out a breath of mist slowly, but he didn't want to lose his only friend just like that, and asked in a rustling voice:
"Who is that? My friend, you led me the wrong way. Should I take care of this kind of murder?"

He was speaking to the silent crow, and he was sorting out some increasingly strong doubts in his heart:

"Do I want to be an enthusiastic citizen? Well, should I call the police now? It's raining so hard, maybe after a while, there will be no clues left at the murder scene..."

The corpse was not swollen, and blood was still flowing, which indicated that the time of death may not have been more than half an hour, so why are there so many mold vines?
Was the corpse thrown here by the murderer? Could the murderer just walk away and come back to deal with it?
Holding the phone, Lei Yue became even more disturbed, his eyes still piercing through the rain, scanning the horrific murder scene in front of him.

"Let's call the police first." He added, "The police shouldn't be so confused and treat me as a suspect. Not long ago, I was in the hospital dealing with my grandmother's funeral, but how can I explain that I came here on a rainy night? My friend You brought me here?"

He hesitated to speak, and shook his head. He might have left the police station, and then he would be sent to a mental hospital for examination...

Suddenly at this time, the crow on the left shoulder rose into the sky again, broke through the wind, and flew over the man's corpse. It seemed that a black flag was flying above the corpse.

"What?" Lei Yue was stunned, thinking about the complaint he made when he said he came here to pick up trash just now, "Is there anything?"

Then he had a weird guess, "Friend, do you want me to go up and search the body?"

The black bird did not sing, but flew above the corpse, as if observing before pouncing on the carrion.

"Corpse search?" Lei Yue muttered to himself, but he couldn't easily take this step. It is safest to call the police now...

However, friends talk about trust.

He couldn't help sullen when he thought of the true attitude of those he regarded as friends towards him.

The crow is not an illusion, so I should cherish this friend even more.

"Listen to you." The chaotic thoughts settled down, Lei Yue tried to be bold, and sang softly to the crows in the sky above: "Friends will go together for life, even if we go to prison."

But this self-mockery didn't relieve much pressure, he was still a little flustered.

However, he did not forget that fingerprints should not be left, Lei Yue looked around, found a pair of old plastic gloves in the trash next to him, and put them on his hands.

Then, he walked towards the garbage pile in front of him a little bit, approaching the strange corpse.

He paid great attention to his footsteps. While avoiding those fungal plants, blood, and fragments of human tissue, he tried to walk the road without leaving footprints. Even if he had to leave footprints, he tried to cover them as much as possible, and they would be washed away by the heavy rain soon.

This is not only to hide himself well, but also he does not want to destroy the murder scene. He does not want his exploration to affect the police's investigation of the case later.

"Take heart to heart... If there are victims in this murder case, the victims and their families need justice; such a dangerous murderer must be caught quickly..."

As Lei Yue thought about it, at the same time, the closer he got to the corpse, the more pressure he felt in his heart.

When he walked to the corpse and stood still, the rotten smell mixed with mold and flesh rushed to his face, making him feel almost fainting physiological throbbing.

"Hmm..." Lei Yue staggered slightly with choking, there was a muffled click, and he kicked something hard, and he was startled.

He struggled to regain his footing, looked down, and saw the short-barreled shotgun lying on the muddy ground beside the body.

The short-barreled shotgun is all black, with a barrel-shaped magazine, no buttstock, and only a small pistol-shaped grip. The total length is about less than 70cm, and the barrel occupies more than half of it, which makes it both dexterous and fierce.

What style is this?Lei Yue didn't understand, what made him unable to take his eyes off at this moment was a logo engraved in the middle of the grip guard.

It was a logo with three concentric inverted triangles stacked on top of each other, with a bloodstain-like color.

He looked and remembered the hazard warning flashing light sign of a car, and the sign in front of him also looked like a danger warning.

"This gun...is beautiful."

For some reason, Lei Yue's heartbeat accelerated a little bit, bang bang, bang bang, he wanted to take a deep breath to adjust his breath, but the surrounding air was really choking, so he had better act quickly.

"Uncle, I'm sorry to bother you, it's nothing to blame."

He said something serious to the corpse, then slowly bent down and searched the corpse's coat pocket.

Now that he was getting closer, he could see more clearly the man's vicissitudes and handsome middle-aged face, as well as those frozen eyes...

And the strange lines on those vine-like intestines and the liquid-filled slime mold on the skin are also clearly visible.

"..." Lei Yue held his breath, suppressed his horror, tried his best to keep his hands steady, and searched through the pockets of the corpse's clothes one by one.

There was no cell phone, ID, anything, almost nothing.

In the end, all I found was a small black bound notebook in an inner pocket of my overcoat.

"You just want me to find this notebook?"

Lei Yue's voice was a little hoarse from the foul air, and he asked about the crows flying in the sky.

The crow didn't respond, so he had no choice but to bow down to block the rain, and gently opened the small book to take a look, only to see a line of message and signature written in pen on the title page:

[This is a talent, but also a curse. ——Shotgun Man]

He looked at this sentence and said it lightly several times, his heart seemed to be moved, but he didn't understand the full meaning of this sentence.

"Shotgun Man? Is this man's nickname?"

Lei Yue glanced at the dead face of the corpse and the shotgun on the ground, it should be...

He continued to flip through the notepad, and the violent black rain poured down from the night sky, wet the pages full of messy words.
