"Here's the first chapter for the sect leader, Brother Hao!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Huang sent the four victims' Emperor's Heart Ring serial numbers to Yang Ling.
A few minutes later, Yang Ling sent the screenshots of the four of them chatting.
The four of them were not chatting with the same account, but four different accounts. The accounts were all female, but there were no photos.
From the screenshots, the content of the four of them was quite explicit, and they had sent photos to each other.
However, the photos that the lady had sent were destroyed, so Lin Huang did not see her face.
Just when Lin Huang was going to call Yang Ling to ask if the destroyed photos could be restored, Yang Ling called him.
"I've checked on the four female accounts. Although they're all in Luoxi City, they're not in the same location. However, the four female accounts were created at the last minute, and they were only used for two to three days. Apart from the first account, the other three accounts were created about 25 to 26 days apart from the first one, so it's normal that the addresses are in different locations. It's highly possible that the four accounts belong to the same person. "Yang Ling told Lin Huang about his investigation results as soon as the call was picked up.
"Can the destroyed photos be restored?" Although Lin Huang knew that it was unlikely that the culprit would send his photos, he wanted to try his luck.
"There's nothing I can do about it. The program is very small and simple. It's good enough that it can store the existing information. The destroyed photos won't be saved. Moreover, the program was designed by the designer for fun. He didn't intend to make it big, so it's not connected to the cloud network of the Emperor's Heart. There's no backup of all the information, "Yang Ling said.
"Don't tell me you're the designer?" Lin Huang speculated when he heard him say that it was designed for fun. He didn't intend to make it big.
"Erm … You found out." Yang Ling shrugged.
"Is there really nothing you can do?" Lin Huang asked.
"There's nothing I can do. The program wasn't perfect when it was designed, and I didn't think about how to make it. At that time, in order to pursue the smoothness of chatting, many functions had been cut. It took me less than two hours to make it and put it into use … "Yang Ling was also helpless.
"Then give me all four addresses of that woman." Lin Huang had no other choice but to start from the previous address to see if he could find any clues.
Yang Ling quickly sent the address over.
On the other hand, Lin Huang projected the map and directly located the coordinates of the four underground hotels on the map. He then connected the four coordinates to the location of the manhole cover where the corpse was dumped.
Then, he said to Yang Ling, "Check again. On the night after the four people died, check the surveillance cameras on the four routes where the bodies were dumped. Let's see if there are any repeat appearances. If someone repeatedly appeared on these routes at the same time as the bodies were dumped, it's highly likely that they're the murderer we're looking for. "
"Let me see. Other than that day, I'll check for the next few days too." Yang Ling nodded and frowned at Lin Huang. She then added, "If there's anything else you want to check, just tell me. I'll be busy after 10 o 'clock. You know what I mean."
"Not at the moment. If there is, let's talk about it tomorrow. Can you give me the surveillance footage today? "Lin Huang asked again.
"It'll take some time. I'll give it to you before 10 o 'clock." Yang Ling did not wait for Lin Huang to reply and hung up the phone.
It was almost 9 o 'clock when he ended the call with Yang Ling.
Lin Huang then looked at the Brain Eater's information.
The more he read, the more difficult it was to deal with the monster.
The Brain Eater was a monster that reproduced asexually.
A normal Brain Eater's lifespan was around 300 years. They would only reproduce when they felt that they were about to die.
The way they reproduce was unique as well. They would inject vitality into the top of their head and a sprout would grow. The little ball at the top of the sprout was the Brain Eater. The Brain Eater would absorb the nutrients from its mother through the sprout and grow continuously. After the death of its mother, it would then separate from its mother as an individual.
Within 48 hours after the separation from its mother, it had to find a new host or else it would die.
A Brain Eater that had just separated from its mother was only the size of a thumb. It was hard to notice. They would usually burrow into the skin of other creatures at night when they were asleep, then swim under the skin towards the brain.
Once it reached the brain, it would insert its tail into the host's brain and inject a large amount of neurotoxin into the host's brain. The host would then lose all nerve functions and would not be able to feel pain or anything else. It would then start feasting on the host's brain while the host was asleep. It would then replace the brain's functions and control the entire body.
Han Ji's lab even used many death row prisoners as a parasite for the Brain Eater. They recorded the parasite process and the changes in the prisoners.
Their research showed that after the first parasite, the Brain Eater would inherit the personality of the host to a large extent. For example, some liked to smoke and would still like to smoke after being parasitized. Some liked to drink and would still like to drink even after being parasitized. Some liked to eat spicy food and would still like to eat spicy food even after being parasitized.
This personality inheritance allowed the lab to confirm one thing. After the Brain Eater ate a brain, it would be able to obtain most of the memories from the brain.
Before the first parasite, the Brain Eater did not have much self-consciousness. It was only parasitizing based on its instinct. Therefore, the first time they ate a brain, the memories they obtained would have a great impact on their self-awareness. It could even be said that the formation of its self-consciousness was completely based on the first memory that it obtained.
As for the brains that were eaten later on, although they would still obtain memories, the first set of memories had already been deeply ingrained in their minds, and the subsequent effects on their consciousness would be minimal.
After the first parasite, the Brain Eater would be considered as an adult. It would absorb the information that it needed from the memory and learn continuously to adapt to the environment in the shortest time possible.
If it were to parasitize a human, its learning speed would be even faster. It would only take a few days for it to learn and use most of the tools that humans could use. In at most two to three days, it would be able to behave exactly like the host and no one would be able to see through it.
Although the Brain Eater's reproduction ability was weak, it was one of the most difficult parasites to deal with.
He was completely immersed in the Brain Eater's information that Han Ji had sent to him.
Suddenly, a message came through the communication page and woke him up.
