"I saw many illusions. The bodies were empty, and their souls were sucked dry when they were still alive. Perhaps an evil organization like Lai Sheng Company was performing a sacrificial summoning ritual, and something abnormal was consuming their souls. Perhaps they were also summoning a legendary creature … ghouls. "
Gu Jun returned to the fifth floor of the Autopsy Building and entered the office where Professor Qin and Yao Sinian were. He told them about the information he had gained from the illusions.
"I saw a graveyard somewhere, and there were these abnormal creatures robbing the bodies to feed on."
"Hmm …" Yao Sinian pulled a long face. Professor Qin frowned. If that was the case, it would be a big problem.
Tang Zhifeng was confused. Ghouls? It was not that he doubted the existence of these abnormal creatures, but he was not prepared for it …
"I want to know if Phecda has mastered ghouls?" Gu Jun asked. "Past, present, dead, alive, are there any?"
He was looking forward to it. If there was, he would dissect it immediately.
"There have been cases of body robbers and ghouls." With Yao Sinian's level of clearance, he was clear about this. He shook his head and sighed. "But based on the ghouls you described, there might be some information about them, but there are no accurate records."
Gu Jun's head fell. This was worse.
The system had included ghouls in the abyssal mission, so this abnormal creature must have its scary side. Its appearance would bring about serious consequences.
But if Phecda had mastered them, then it meant that ghouls were not that special.
But now …
"I will report this to the higher-ups." Yao Sinian added, "Have the Investigation Department and Action Department conduct a full inspection of all the graveyards in Eastern State."
"Commander Yao, tell everyone to be careful." Gu Jun reminded seriously, "I believe ghouls are very dangerous. Even with guns, it is not completely safe."
"Yes, the mission will be at the highest alert state." Yao Sinian's old face was full of seriousness as he walked out with his phone.
Gu Jun thought of something else. It was also related to mutants. He asked Professor Qin, "I know I don't have enough authority, but I want to know what kind of mutants our students dissected during the medical skills competition were. Is there any connection? They came from the foreign world, I can confirm that. "
He had always wanted to know about this, but before entering the banyan tree hole, he did not have the chance to find out. Now that he was out of the banyan tree hole, he finally had some autonomy.
"Sure." Professor Qin didn't look embarrassed. "Now everything is green-lit for you, and that's just an F-level access file."
Gu Jun was startled. Only F class?
"Phecda named them Necro-skins." As Professor Qin spoke, he asked He Qing, the leader of the dissection group, to turn on the computer so that Gu Jun could take a look at the files.
The computer on the table could be connected to Phecda's network. The database contained Grade F and G files. As long as the account was suitable, it could be accessed.
Of course, the Grade G members from the Medical Department would not be able to access Grade G files from the Investigation Department, but Professor Qin's account already had the authority to access these low-level files.
He Qing, who was listening at the side, was actually as confused as Tang Zhifeng. He walked over to turn on the computer. After Professor Qin logged in and opened the file, Gu Jun sat down on the office chair in front of the computer and silently browsed through it.
So far, Necro-skins had only appeared once, and it was around a mountain village at the southern part of Eastern State. There had been a total of 1872 Necro-skins that appeared to attack and injure people.
Due to the timely response, the Action Department only paid the price of 41 injured and 5 sacrificed to eliminate them. Most of the casualties happened during the search phase.
Due to the corneous dead skin layer, tranquilizer bullets were ineffective against them. During the direct confrontation, most of the Necro-skins were killed by heavy weapons. This kind of abnormal creature was extremely strong and had intelligence higher than that of a beast. They knew that they could not win, so they tried to escape.
However, in the end, they were unable to escape. They could not understand negotiations, and they behaved very aggressively. Not long after they were captured, they died of acute heart failure.
The ten chest pieces that they obtained from the autopsy were all the parts of the Necro-skins that were shot through the head during the exchange of fire.
According to the files, the origin of the Necro-skins and how they appeared in Eastern State were still unclear. Initially, the Investigation Department believed that it was an independent incident that had nothing to do with the Malformed Banyan Disease, but after Gu Jun mentioned that the two were related, they were put on the same pedestal.
After confirming that there were multiple tunnels in the banyan tree hole, and after he blew up the Malformed Banyan Forest, the Investigation Department found a newly fallen banyan tree in the mountain near the mountain village.
This practically proved his theory that the Necro-skins probably came to this world through the banyan tree tunnel.
However … "Intelligence higher than that of a beast?" Gu Jun grumbled with confusion.
The behavior of these Necro-skins, their intention during their escape, did not show any intelligence that was equivalent to or higher than that of a human.
They might be strategic, but so were many beasts. Phecda's conclusion was that the Necro-skins had the intelligence of an uncivilized primitive man.
This did not match the abnormal creature recorded in Lenton's Atlas that destroyed the foreign world together with hemoptysis.
"Professor Qin." Gu Jun voiced his confusion honestly. "When I was in the foreign world, I had a vision that this is a creature with intelligence higher than that of a human."
"Oh? Their brain capacity is on average 1000 ml. " Professor Qin gave him a statistic. "For chimpanzees, it's 350 ml to 450 ml, and for us homo sapiens, it's 1400 ml to 1600 ml. Their brain capacity is already very large, but current research has not been able to understand why they do not show a higher level of intelligence. "
Even though the relationship between intelligence and brain capacity had not been completely confirmed, there should be a direct relationship between the two.
Gu Jun's face darkened. This could not be a good thing …
How could this be? Were they not the same type? Subtype? Degenerated?
"Or it could be due to time …" Gu Jun pondered. "Time can change many things. The destruction of the foreign civilization happened many generations ago. Did the Necro-skins degenerate due to various reasons in that world? Or … the ones that descended into this world are just some inferior replicas? "
A thought rose in his mind. Replicas created or summoned by the afterlife? Replicas?
Why not the real thing? Was it because of the lack of conditions, or the lack of control?
Does this have anything to do with the ghouls that have appeared now?
At this time, Yao Sinian hurriedly walked into the office from outside. His aged face was both solemn and excited as he said to everyone, "Let's go.
He told the group, "The investigation team just found out that the public security at Eastern State received a report that a graveyard had been dug up yesterday."
