[Love Killer 20] Chapter 110 - Key And Bronze Statue

Zhan Zhao remembered that he had read a fairy tale called Bluebeard before. It was originally a happy story, similar to the plot of Cinderella, but because of the golden key at the end, the story suddenly turned horror.

But it wasn't until this moment that Zhan Zhao truly understood that in fact, whether it was a fairy tale or a novel, no matter how dark and terrifying it was, the author was kind enough to cover up the most extreme part for the readers...

Dead people and corpses are nothing to the police or forensic doctors. After all, no matter how horrific the corpses are, they are just that —— Less breathing than a living person, harder and more smelly... However, it was not until this moment that Zhan Zhao and Bai YuTang realised that the real horror of the corpse was not the cut, but the deformation. Furthermore, it is not the deformation caused by a short-term huge external force, but the kind of deformation slowly caused by force majeure for a long time is really chilling.

This room is to be precise a research room, with a table in the middle containing almost all the medical equipment that could be found in that era.

Medical equipment, in the hospital, seems to be a magical tool for treating diseases and saving lives, but in the dark basement, the rusty medical equipment feels more like a torture instrument.

However, Zhan Zhao and the others certainly didn't feel uncomfortable because of the furniture in it. To be precise, it was because of the corpse in the room.

The real topic is —— Corpse!

They have always heard people saying hanged ghost. The hanged ghost has also been exaggerated as a common appearance in film and television works, with nothing more than a long tongue, rolling eyes, etc... But a real hanged ghost, especially one that has been hanged for hundreds of years, will have obvious changes in its body —— Its neck will become longer and thinner.

In this room, there are densely packed rows of large iron hooks on the ceiling. On each hook, there is a black metal noose. In the noose, there is a head. The slender neck below has been deformed into a state where the shadow of the human neck is completely invisible. Under the neck is a naked body. Even if it is dry, it can be seen that it is scarred, and some are even mutilated.

These corpses are in a mummified state, with dry and wrinkled skin on the surface of the corpses.

Gong Sun pointed to a large blowing device on the wall and said "It looks like the body was dried up."

"It can still be used." Zhao Jue walked over and reached out to turn on the big fan... With the sound of the rumbling fan blades rotating, a gust of wind blew out from the blowing device... At the same time, the dried and light corpses also moved slightly. Almost all of those corpses have distorted faces, and their necks are so slender that they can hardly hang on their bodies... Swinging in the wind, as if struggling, imagine that the corpses hanging all over the room are floating in the wind like tacks hanging in the windy field. It is really weird, it feels a little perverted, and indescribably disgusting.

Perhaps it was the thick smell of death in the air that caused the little white lion cub in Zhan Zhao's hand to become restless. It struggled in Zhan Zhao's arm and buried its face in his arm. He held Zhan Zhao's arm with his paws and tried to get as close as possible. Zhan Zhao reached out and touched its neck, comforting it.

Zhao Jue turned off the blowing device, then looked back at everyone, and asked "How is it?"

Zhan Zhao sighed, and took a good look around the room with Bai YuTang and Gong Sun. Gong Sun touched his chin, looked at several corpses, and said "Specifically install a blowing device to dry the corpses? Did the owner deliberately keep these corpses?"
