There was rumbling thunder from the sky outside, and the air became extremely humid and hot, which made people feel uneasy.

Su Lin followed Qin Xueye into the county government office. The civilians who gathered in the county government office during the day had all been dispersed by Ma Yong, leaving only his colleagues who came with him from the inspector's office.

The arrival of Su Lin broke the stagnant atmosphere. Everyone present had strange expressions. A policeman glanced at Su Lin, then at Ma Yong, and said hesitantly:

"Boss, do you really want to tell him? This kid is not from the inspector's office after all."

Ma Yong raised his hand to interrupt the other party, picked up the box on the table, and walked to Su Lin.

"Xiao Lin, let me just say it straight. I am very optimistic about you. Are you interested in joining the Inspector's Office? Be a policeman with me. I heard Xue Ye say a long time ago that you want to be a policeman too." Ma Yong asked.

The eyes of other people around were focused on Su Lin, Qin Xueye pushed Su Lin lightly on the back: "What about you, when I asked you if you want to be a police officer, didn't you say you really wanted to be?"

Su Lin glanced at Qin Xueye and stood there silently.

He did say this. After all, the salary he got when he entered the Inspector's Office was much higher than the income from farming and hunting. If he hadn't met Wang Xiucai later, which made him confident in his success, he would have recommended himself long ago.

But today's situation is a bit abnormal, Ma Ye must have encountered something abnormal, and felt that this kind of thing must not be known to ordinary people outside the Inspector's Office, so he was invited to join in such an urgent manner.

"I would."

Su Lin thought for a while, and finally agreed.

Now that he has become a believer of Tianzun, the choice of becoming an official in the court is naturally invalid. After all, he needs more freedom to work for Tianzun.

And the identity of the Inspector's Office is much better than his current identity as a farmer. It is more convenient to do anything, and resignation does not have as many rules as the imperial officials. I really don't want to do it, just hand over it.

Ma Yong patted Su Lin on the shoulder vigorously to express his appreciation.

"Very good, now you can open the box, but you have to be mentally prepared. To be honest, this is the first time I have encountered this kind of thing after so many years of work."

Su Lin's gaze fell on the wooden box in front of him. Through the thin wooden boards, he heard living creatures crawling around in the wooden box, and the sound did not sound like insects.

The sound that the thing made when it crawled was like human nails scraping on a wooden board, which was creepy.

Su Lin clasped both sides of the cover with both hands, slowly opened it, and a pale hand came into view.

It was a woman's hand, its skin was pale and bloodless. At this moment, it was constantly shrinking its five fingers, groping around in the wooden box, as if wanting to find out the environment it was in, like a bird A self-aware human-handed spider.

Su Lin looked at the dead man's hand with no expression on his face.

Seeing how calm Su Lin was, the other officers gasped.

"Old Li, you are not even as good as a child."

"Damn! Don't talk about me, didn't you scream out in fright when you saw that thing just now?"

Most of them were terrified when they saw the moving severed hand, and everyone was as calm as Su Lin.

Ma Yong looked at the calm Su Lin in front of him, and the more he looked at him, the more he liked him. He thought that this boy was indeed a good material for a fast arrest.

Seeing that Su Lin had seen the strange severed hand, Ma Yong said to everyone:

"Although Emperor Gaozu stipulated that officials should not be superstitious or preach false things, this hand is real, so it is not a false thing. I think the death of County Magistrate Liu may be related to the demon behind this thing. "

Su Lin noticed that Ma Ye has begun to use the "superstitious" vocabulary of demons calmly.

"Can it understand human speech?"

As Su Lin asked, he reached out and touched the severed hand.

Qin Xueye hurriedly said: "Hey, don't move! This hand will catch people!"

But it was too late, Su Lin's hand had already touched the severed hand.

The moment the strange severed hand touched Su Lin, he seemed to feel something, and grabbed Su Lin suddenly, refusing to let go.

Everyone held their breath and stared at this scene in shock.

Su Lin still had no expression on his face. He observed the severed hand that was tightly grasping him, and asked earnestly, "If you can hear me, let go."

The severed hand did not let go.

That's right, how could it be possible to let go, they have tried this kind of thing before, when Qin Xueye was caught by the severed hand, she jumped up and down in fright, and finally knocked it off with the handle of the knife for a long time.

"We tried it, and it can't understand human speech. Of course, it doesn't do any harm, it's just scary." Detective Li quickly said.

Su Lin nodded, raised his left hand, and placed it on the back of the severed hand to stroke gently.

Su Lin first patted the back of the severed hand soothingly, and the strength of the other's grip really relaxed a little.

Seeing this, Qin Xueye excitedly said: "There is a reaction! It seems to have let go of Su Lin on its own initiative!"

"How is it possible! Before I hit it with my fist, I didn't let go." Captain Li said in surprise.

Su Lin took the initiative to shake hands with the severed hand, as if feeling Su Lin's kindness, the severed hand kept sliding its fingers on Su Lin's back, as if it wanted to convey something.

"It seems to be writing." Su Lin said.

Ma Yong: "Quick! Bring the paper and ink!"

Qin Xueye immediately brought the paper and the inkstone. Su Lin took a piece of paper and rubbed it on the back of the severed hand to feel the touch of the paper. Then he slowly lifted the index finger of the severed hand and placed it in the inkstone. Dip in a little ink.

The severed hand seemed to understand Su Lin's intention, and let go of Su Lin's hand, allowing Su Lin to put it on the paper.

Everyone gathered around to watch what the severed hand would write on the paper.

The index finger danced on the paper, wrote the word "person", and drew a little under "person", then paused, and tapped the paper with the little finger that was not dipped in ink, as if urging others to change his position .

It seems to know that if it does not move its position, the ink blots it writes will overlap, making it difficult to distinguish.

Su Lin gently picked up the broken hand, changed the position and put it down again. After the broken hand moved, the index finger was placed on the paper again. Just when it was about to continue writing, the five fingers of the severed hand suddenly clenched tightly , Knead the rice paper into a ball.

Everyone was startled, and Qiqi took a step back.

After the severed hand grasped the rice paper, after a while, it suddenly spread its five fingers, trembling in pain, twitching and struggling on the ground, like a poisoned and dying spider, scratching and crawling randomly, the scene was extremely strange.

The veins on the back of the severed hand were bulging, and beads of blood-colored sweat ooze from the surface of the skin, as if enduring great pain.

After struggling for a few seconds, its five fingers opened suddenly, and then the index finger slowly wrote the word "one" on the ground at an extremely slow speed. After that, the muscles of the whole hand relaxed suddenly, and it never There was movement.

"This is... dead, dead?" Qin Xueye picked up the saber and gently poked his hand with the scabbard.

Everyone waited for a while, and suddenly smelled a stench. Afterwards, the skin of the severed hand shrank and turned black at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few breaths, it swelled and exuded corpse fluid, and finally rotted and collapsed. Leaving a complete hand bone.

The disgusting stench spread around, and the head catchers covered their noses, watching this scene in disbelief.

In the blink of an eye, that fresh corpse's hand turned into a bone hand. This was the first time they had seen such a thing in most of their lives.

"Damn it, what's going on?" the deputy squad leader shouted angrily.

Ma Yong's expression is like cast iron, making it difficult to see his emotions.

Qin Xueye's black eyebrows were tightly furrowed, her expression extremely serious.

As for the other police officers, they seemed to be still immersed in the shock of this strange phenomenon, and did not think carefully about the meaning behind it.

Su Lin covered his mouth and nose, squatted on the ground looking at the lifeless severed hand, and thought of Luo Huainan.

For some reason, he felt that Luo Huainan was somewhat similar to this hand. Although his body was dead, he still retained the ability to act like a living person.

Now that this hand has turned into a white bone, after a while, will Luo Huainan also turn into a rotting corpse like this hand?

In addition, the hand just now obviously wanted to convey some information, but was stopped by a mysterious force.

"Squad leader!" A hurried shout came from the gate of the yamen, and several arresters ran into the county yamen sweating profusely.

Ma Yong's expression changed slightly, and he asked, "Did you take all the words back?"

"No, I didn't take it back! Something's wrong, we seem to have run into a ghost!" a policeman panted.

Another policeman tugged at his companion and corrected him: "We can't go back, as long as we pass Xiqiu Village and then go east for a few miles, no matter how we go, we will eventually return to Huaiyang Village.

Boss, it's not that we scare ourselves, it's that this thing is really weird! "
