Chapter 192: 188 Cat Tooth Bracelet

Twenty-six corpses, without exception, had all been decapitated. Their state of death was wretchedly tragic. The identity of each headless corpse remained to be further confirmed, and the missing heads had undoubtedly become important clues and evidence for the Xuanmi Group to solve the case; finding the heads might mean finding the whereabouts of that group of Abnormal criminals.

Yu Lianyun came before one of the salvaged floating corpses and crouched down to observe.

After being soaked for a long time, the corpse's bloating looked far more disgusting than an ordinary corpse. Furthermore, because the deceased had been "violated" by Abnormal factors before death, the internal structure of the corpse was already in a chaotic mess. The epidermis, flesh, and organs all presented a granularization into elliptical spheres, as if a human skin covered in strange sores had been stuffed full of elliptical granules made of various flesh and organs, filling the entire skin.

Yu Lianyun frowned tightly, picked up tweezers to remove an elliptical granule from the corpse that was likely transformed muscle tissue, and placed it on the ground. She then picked up a scalpel and gently sliced into the soft, elastic granule. Immediately, a greenish-yellow plasma gushed out from the incision. Fortunately, Yu Lianyun's technique was superb, and she did not let these strange tissue fluids splash out.

Some of the Mysterious Investigators watching from the side could no longer restrain themselves from this overly grotesque scene; they leaned against pillars and walls and began to retch violently. Their scalps went numb, and their trembling goosebumps felt as if they were also about to turn into those unknown elliptical granules. The more they thought about it, the faster they felt their sanity collapsing.

"Is this... an eye?" Yu Lianyun was able to restrain the chill in her heart. She focused on dissecting this elliptical granule and discovered that after the granule was completely cut open, it was actually an eyeball.

Forcing down the agitation in her heart, Yu Lianyun picked out a few more elliptical granules and continued to dissect them, discovering that without exception, they were all eyes.

"The entire person is decomposing and transforming into individual eyes." Yu Lianyun felt a shudder of fear. This clearly far exceeded the scope of influence that ordinary Abnormal creatures could have on humans; it was the power of an Alien God.

Yu Lianyun stood up, wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, and looked back at the crowd, saying: "Check the Alien God data archives shared by the World Investigator Organization. Is there any relevant Alien God data that matches this situation?"

Kelake was rummaging through Miss Hela's room. He very much hoped to find written records similar to the "Exorcism Record" notebook appear again, but the reality was that Miss Hela was far less "base" than Count Bluebeard and Butler Walunte; she did not keep a diary.

Creak.

Kelake opened Miss Hela's wardrobe. Among a pile of neatly arranged, alluring clothes, he found something that shouldn't have been in the wardrobe—a bracelet, strung together by many small white objects that looked like stars.

"It's quite pretty. What is this made of?" When Milaier saw this bracelet, her eyes couldn't help but light up, and then she asked in confusion, "But, with such a beautiful bracelet, why wouldn't Miss Hela wear it?"

"Because it's strung together from polished cat teeth," Kelake said with narrowed eyes. His words were shocking, and Milaier was immediately terrified.

"I once saw an uncivilized primitive tribe. The people there would kill the cats they raised on special holidays and then take out their teeth to make ornaments, saying that this could pray for blessings for the tribe," Kelake explained why he knew the material of the bracelet, saying, "Because cat teeth are truly very special, I remembered them after seeing them once."

As he spoke, Kelake picked up the bracelet. Before he could bring it closer for a detailed observation, a sensation like an electric shock suddenly traveled from his hand straight to his brain. The moment his brain was electrocuted, he suddenly saw several incredible scenes.

A crazy woman wore a ferocious grin. Her head was covered in sores, and her hair grew savagely from the cracks in the sores, looking as withered and lifeless as weeds. While weeping, she controlled a girl struggling in a bucket. One of her hands grabbed the girl's wet hair tightly, while she slowly picked up a pair of giant scissors.

No matter how heart-wrenchingly the little girl called her mother or begged for mercy, the crazy woman remained completely deaf to it, crying and laughing to herself: "Baby, hair is a woman's signature. A person's hair shows a woman's heart... Don't move around, listen to Mommy..."

As she spoke, she opened the scissors, but she did not aim the blades at the hair; instead, she aimed them at the girl's slender, thin neck.

With a loud *Crack! *, Kelake's whole body twitched violently as if he were experiencing it himself. The intense feeling of death and collapse almost instantly annihilated his rationality.

The scene flashed, and Kelake saw other images. The crazy woman was holding her decapitated daughter and crying hysterically, yet she was saying things that made one's blood run cold: "How could it be like this? How could it be like this!? It's all your fault for always moving, so I could only control your head so it wouldn't move first. But why... why can't the things I cut off be put back together?"

Listening to the madwoman's insane remarks, Kelake was already cursing in his heart, but fear made him unable to open his mouth to scream.

Suddenly, the madwoman seemed to see him through the memory scene. She turned her head abruptly, glaring with a pair of eyes filled with sorrow, excitement, and despair, and whispered eerily: "Son, you can't be disobedient like your sister... Do you know? Hehehehe... This way, you can be the little sister from now on, okay?"

Kelake watched as the madwoman crawled over rapidly like a twisted reptile. His sanity seemed to be the first to detach from his body and flee his soul. He opened his mouth wide, unable to speak like a terrified fool.

When that morbid face was nose-to-nose with his, Kelake felt he had already fallen into the abyss of hell. At the very moment his consciousness hit the bottom, he woke up like a drowning person being rescued, gasping greedily.

He looked blankly at Milaier, whose face was flushed red and who was gradually losing her struggle before him. Her slender neck was being tightly choked by him, just like the poor girl in the memory fragment. Milaier's eyes were slowly rolling back.

Kelake gave a start and retreated rapidly, unable to believe what kind of perverted thing he had been doing unconsciously.

"Cough, cough, cough—cough, cough, cough!" Milaier was finally able to breathe. While coughing wildly, she moved away from Kelake in terror.

Kelake was also in a panic at this moment: "I'm sorry, Milaier. I don't know what happened just now. I really don't know. I suddenly lost consciousness... I'm really sorry... I..."

Kelake was incoherent; he felt he was going crazy.

Was the memory that had just drilled into his brain really his?

But that feeling... it was too real...

Milaier, with red eyes and heavy breathing, looked at Kelake's distraught appearance. She was the first to calm down instead. Seeing the Cat Tooth Bracelet in Kelake's hand, she seemed to realize something. She covered her throat, gritted her teeth, and made a bold decision. She moved quickly, returned to Kelake's side, grabbed his right arm with both hands, and smiled reluctantly: "I... I believe you."
