Chapter 212: The Mother and Child Evil Spirits Appear
The police car drove along the desolate highway, as Chief Henry sat in the passenger seat, leisurely sipping his freshly bought Starbucks.
Yet the strange stench from that corpse still lingered, swirling relentlessly in his nasal cavity, refusing to dissipate completely.
Henry couldn't help but rub his nose and cursed with some annoyance, "Jade Pool, what the hell is going on? Why does it smell so bad? This is the worst-smelling corpse I've ever encountered."
The officer driving chuckled and handed over a mint spray, "Try this, maybe it'll make you feel a little better."
...
In the back compartment, several officers sat on the metal seats on either side, taking out their phones for idle chatter.
"I recently found a great bar. The gypsy women there are fantastic, and there are also those BBWs from Europe—absolutely thrilling. You guys really should check it out."
"Actually, those black girls at 13 Alleyway are not bad either. Don't be fooled by their dark skin; their figures are really model-level impressive."
"Oh shit, Babylon, if you keep talking about your experiences with those gorillas, I swear I'll kick your ass with my shoes next time."
The officers were chatting, oblivious to the slight trembling suddenly arising from the body bag on the floor.
As the zipper of the body bag unzipped by itself, a foul smell burst forth, finally catching an officer's attention. He immediately drew his service weapon in shock and shouted, "F**K! What's up with this body bag, why did it open by itself?"
Hearing this, everyone turned their gaze toward it.
In their line of sight, they saw a pale arm extending from the body bag, followed by a dead body, who should have been long gone, sitting up.
Her wet hair clung to her neck and chest, and a pair of swollen, dead fish eyes scrutinized everyone in the vehicle with an icy stare.
"Shit! The body's revived! It's a monster!"
One of the officers shouted in fear and without hesitation, pulled the trigger.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Gunfire erupted in the compartment, bullets leaving bullet holes all over the female corpse.
Yet, an eerie thing happened; the female corpse, having been hit by bullets, appeared completely unfazed and instead stood up from the body bag.
Her expression was unimaginably troubling, devoid of any joy or sorrow, but there was a violent twitching in her slightly swollen belly at this moment.
The silhouette of a tiny hand suddenly appeared on her stomach and then retracted back inside.
The officers were stunned, hurriedly retreating, while drawing their guns and aiming at the female corpse.
"Hands on your head! Get down to the ground!"
"Shit, what's the use of saying that to a corpse? Open fire, aim for the head or neck!"
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
The gunfire rang out one after another, with the female corpse trembling all over. Her body was already riddled with a dense array of gunshot wounds.
At this moment, the female corpse's belly suddenly burst open, and a humanoid creature without fully formed features leaped right out from her stomach, landing on an officer's face, clutching it tightly while emitting a chilling laugh.
This creature and the woman's stomach were still connected by a blood-colored umbilical cord, as it frantically clawed at the officer's face.
The officer, unable to react in time, was merely dazed for a moment before the creature stripped all the skin from his face, exposing bare bones.
The little creature turned its head, grinning to reveal its sharp, lamprey-like mouthparts, and let out a bizarre laugh, staring at the other petrified officers.
...
"What's going on?"
At the sound of gunfire, the police car immediately came to a halt, as Henry looked back in disbelief.
The police car they were in was akin to an armored vehicle, with a metal partition between the driver's cab and the rear compartment, only allowing a small window to glimpse the situation behind.
Henry turned his head to check what exactly was happening in the rear compartment.
Suddenly, a spurt of blood, like water from a fountain, splattered all over the glass, obscuring his view of the compartment.
The officer driving hastily slammed on the brakes, staring in disbelief at the blood stains on the small window.
There were only a few officers and the corpse in the rear compartment, how could such a murder case occur, and who could the perpetrator be?
It couldn't possibly be an accidental discharge by the officers themselves.
Henry immediately drew his service weapon and got out of the car, cautiously approaching the rear door.
Just as he reached out to grasp the door handle, the car door suddenly swung open, a gust of foul air crashing straight into Henry's chest.
He was flung backwards immediately, losing all power to resist.
"Heh heh heh..."
A blood-soaked creature with only a mouthful of sharp teeth clutched Henry's neck, opening its mouth to bite down on his face.
"Ah!!!"
Henry cried out in despair as the creature gnawed off a part of his nose in front of him.
Confronted with a life-threatening situation, Henry erupted with a tremendous will to survive.
He grabbed a handful of incense ash from his pocket and slapped it forcefully onto the creature's face.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle!
The seemingly ordinary incense ash, upon contact with the creature, turned into what seemed like a searing hot iron.
The creature's face immediately billowed with thick smoke, causing it to recoil off Henry, whimpering as it carried the umbilical cord back to the vehicle.
Henry clutched his nose and looked on, seeing a pale female corpse slowly walking out of the car.
She glanced at Henry before picking up her child from the ground and striding away.
Henry gasped for breath, only sitting down on the ground when the female corpse was completely out of sight.
Terrifying, it was absolutely terrifying.
In all his years as a chief, he had never encountered anything so horrifying; if not for carrying the incense ash from the Earth Shrine, he might not have escaped death today.
"Chief Henry." The driver hurried over to help Henry up from the ground, "You're seriously hurt, I'll take you to the hospital right away."
"I have to tell Father Jackson about this; that thing gives me an extremely uneasy feeling. It's definitely not an ordinary Evil Spirit. Although I don't know what its intention is, once it enters Saint Anna City, the consequences would be unimaginable."
Henry shakily took out his phone, calling Sun Yan.
...
"Oh? Alright, I understand. Keep an eye on the car, don't let anyone tamper with it. I'll go check it out first."
After hanging up Henry's call, Sun Yan's expression turned solemn.
Just as he thought, the Mother and Child Evil Spirits truly had appeared, and their goal was likely revenge.
The most dangerous part is, the Mother and Child Evil Spirits are still in their newborn state, and their power is not formidable yet. But if they are allowed to grow and take shape.
Then it would be the end of everything. Ordinary exorcists would not stand a chance against it.
You've seen the classic Hong Kong film "Uncle Zombie," right?
Daoist Qianhe was transporting a Royal Zombie, but due to the rain, he didn't get into his tent in time to cover up, causing the Ink Bucket Line to wash away, releasing the zombie.
At that time, Daoist Qianhe could still handle the situation.
But fate is uncertain, with the royal noble bloodline + general's status + celestial thunder tribulation + sucking Daoist blood + rainstorm, these buffs all stacked to the max.
Even Daoist Qianhe, in order to prevent further zombie transformation, had to resort to self-inflicted death shamefully, uttering that classic line 'Incompetent Daoist, defeated by a zombie'.
Some dangerous Evil Spirits must be eradicated while they are still weak.
Otherwise, once they mature and gain momentum, the cost of eradication would be astronomical.
"Hopefully, it's still not too late, that creature hasn't entered Saint Anna City yet." Sun Yan accelerated the car, murmuring to himself.
