There are two key figures in the current incident, Sun Jiayu and Xu Weiwei.Jiang Chenyue and Jiang Yao came out of Guangcai Game Studio and first reported the incident to the headquarters.

The liaison officer asked them to continue to follow up on this line. As for the tasks originally assigned in the afternoon, they were temporarily handed over to other investigators.

Jiang Chenyue logged the home addresses of Sun Jiayu and Xu Weiwei into the mobile terminal.New task markers appear on the map, and routes are automatically planned for them.

"Sun Jiayu's house is relatively close." After confirming, Jiang Chenyue put down the mobile terminal, looked around, and hailed a taxi, "Let's go to her house first."

Now the task goal is clear, it is no longer a carpet patrol, so there is no need to ride a shared bicycle.

Jiang Yao and Jiang Chenyue were sitting in the back seat of the taxi together, the scenery outside the car window kept receding.

Jiang Chenyue asked: "Are you afraid?"

Jiang Yao shook his head.

Jiang Chenyue smiled, but because the taxi driver was present, she didn't say anything.

A few minutes later, the two arrived outside Sun Jiayu's community.

Jiang Chenyue told the security guard at the gate that she was from Sun Jiayu's company and wanted to give her some documents.Seeing that she could accurately report Sun Jiayu's home address and cell phone number, the security guard believed it and opened the door to let them in.

When entering the unit building, Jiang Chenyue checked the pollution level of the surrounding environment while going up the stairs.

"There is a problem." Jiang Chenyue whispered.

Jiang Yao also saw the data on his mobile terminal.

Pollution degree 396.Not too low.

And this is only in the corridor.

It seems that Sun Jiayu is really closely related to the strange things that happened in Guangcai Game Studio.

According to regulations, since pollution is detected, the next thing can be handed over to the enforcement department.

However, investigators can also judge according to the situation on the spot and decide whether to continue to follow up or withdraw in time.

Sometimes, if you withdraw too early, you will miss many important clues.

The Authority gave investigators certain permissions and allowed them to explore freely.

Of course, this also means danger.

Jiang Chenyue was not too worried about this.The environmental pollution degree is only 396, which means that even if there are mutants in it, the pollution degree is unlikely to exceed 1000.

That's just an F-rank mutant.

Jiang Chenyue is confident, no matter what she encounters inside, she can use "sprint" to lead Jiang Yao to escape.

The only thing she needs to worry about is whether Jiang Yao will react unexpectedly.

Jiang Yao's actions are unpredictable.Like just in the studio, he suddenly became interested in the mouse pad...

Thinking of the mouse pad, Jiang Chenyue couldn't help laughing.

——Although the words and deeds are unexpected, they will unexpectedly get good results.

Maybe, Jiang Yao is a lucky koi?

Uh, no, it cannot be called koi.

Perhaps, the good luck of drawing cards in the mobile game was all transferred to the investigation clues...

The corner of Jiang Chenyue's mouth curled up, she turned her head and whispered to Jiang Yao: "Are you ready?"

Jiang Yao nodded.

Jiang Chenyue took a deep breath, thought of an excuse, and raised her hand to ring the doorbell of Sun Jiayu's house.

However, after waiting for a long time, no one came to open the door.

Jiang Chenyue was not surprised by this.She calmly took out an instrument from her backpack and stuck it on the door.

Jiang Yao: "?"

Eyes full of curiosity.

Jiang Chenyue explained in a low voice: "Energy metabolism detector. It can detect the activities of living things, especially mutants."

Whether it is human beings, animals, plants, or mutants, energy metabolism occurs in the body all the time.

Especially for mutant species, because cell mutation requires a lot of energy, the image on the metabolic detector will be extraordinarily clear.

Jiang Chenyue tested the entire house with a detector.

Turns out, no.

There are no people in it, and no mutants.

Sun Jiayu was not inside at all.

"Not at home? But her car is still parked downstairs..."

Jiang Chenyue frowned.

As expected of a senior investigator, when checking personal information, he almost checked out all the accounts.

She found out Sun Jiayu's vehicle model and license plate.When she went upstairs just now, she confirmed that the car was still parked downstairs.

"It's all here." Jiang Chenyue was not discouraged, and decisively started to unlock the lock.

Jiang Yao was a little surprised: "Is this also a talent?"

"No, this is forced by life." Without any psychological burden, Jiang Chenyue quickly unlocked the lock, pushed the door open and entered the house.

As soon as they entered the room, the two of them were suffocated by the stench that hit their faces.

Jiang Chenyue instinctively pulled Jiang Yao back a step, and covered their mouths and noses at the same time.

However, the stench still penetrated into the nostrils, and the two immediately realized that it was the smell of spoiled food.

The house full of take-out garbage bags also confirms this.

"Why are you so sloppy..."

Jiang Chenyue confirmed that this smell only caused mental attacks and would not damage the health of the mouth, so she couldn't help but frowned and began to complain.

Too much.The floor was a mess, full of takeaway boxes and snack packaging bags.

The two had to carefully lift their feet and straddle the rubbish.

This reminded Jiang Yao of the scene he saw in the male dormitory of Yijiang University.

——Mutants all need to eat a lot of food.

This is also one of the characteristics of mutants.

"I didn't even take my phone..."

Jiang Chenyue stepped over a pile of garbage, and on the dirty sofa, she picked up a silver mobile phone with two fingers.

After turning on the screen, you can see that there are many missed calls on it, all of which were from the studio not long ago.

The studio in the WeChat group is also Aite Sun Jiayu, and asked her what happened and why she disappeared.

No mobile phone, no driving, and even the house keys were left on the TV cabinet.

This Sun Jiayu seemed to have suddenly abandoned all the external things that human beings valued.

Jiang Yao turned his head slowly, his gaze fell on the white curtain in front of the glass door of the balcony.

The breeze blew, and the white gauze curtains swayed slightly.

The glass balcony door was open.There were several pieces of clothing on the floor, which seemed to have fallen off a drying rack.

The wind is not strong today.

Jiang Yao walked to the balcony and looked into the distance.

From this angle, you can just see the security guard box at the gate of the community.

"She ran away."

The voice in my heart sounded.

Jiang Yao: "Yes."

Jiang Chenyue also quickly realized this.And was amazed by it.

Out of the investigator's intuition, she had a very bad premonition.

"Let's go, let's go find Xu Weiwei!"

Jiang Chenyue's hunch was correct.

When the two arrived at Xu Weiwei's home, they knocked on the door, but no one answered.

To make matters worse, there was a faint stench coming straight from the crack of the door.

That food rot tastes different.

It was a strong stench that hit the soul more directly, like an earthworm burrowing hard into the nasal cavity.

Corpse smell.

Jiang Yao's mind went blank for a moment.

At the same time, the experienced Jiang Chenyue had already pried open the anti-theft door.

The first thing that catches the eye is a line of blood written on the wall facing the anti-theft door.

"Don't dig your ears".

...don't pick your ears?

What's the meaning?Why write this kind of thing on the wall?

Such doubts flashed in the minds of the two of them, and in the next second, they saw a very shocking scene.

The same rubbish all over the floor, the same can't get down.

The difference is that in this place of garbage, flies seem to be wandering and buzzing.

In the middle of the mountain of garbage, lay a fat and bulging... meat mountain.

It should have been a girl.

The cotton white T has been torn, and it hangs incompletely on the limbs.

The black skin and the large and large corpse spots all confirmed that this person had been dead for a long time.

However, the belly swelled up high like a monster was pregnant, and the bulge was astonishing.The black and blue lines on the belly spread like spider webs, as if they were about to explode anytime and anywhere.

The belly of the corpse was so distended that the two had to walk around to get a good view of each other's faces.

It was the face of a young girl.

Or rather, it used to be.

If Jiang Chenyue hadn't seen her ID photo just now, she would definitely not be able to recognize this purple-red skinned corpse with eyeballs protruding from its sockets, it was the youthful and vigorous Xu Weiwei that the people in the studio called.

Compared with her bulging and exaggerated abdomen, although Xu Weiwei's face was also swollen, it was only swollen like a ball.

There were also veins all over her face, as if someone had pumped a huge amount of air into it with an electric pump. Xu Weiwei's eyeballs were squeezed out of the eye sockets, pulled by only the optic nerve and a few muscles, leaning precariously on the templessuperior.

The lips were also swollen to purple-black, slightly flaring, and one could see stained teeth inside, as well as writhing white maggots.

Flies crawled in and out of her mouth recklessly, staying for a while on the gray eyeball whose pupil was dilated to the side.

Even though Jiang Chenyue had rich experience, she had never seen such a terrifying scene.I froze on the spot.

Jiang Yao, on the other hand, withdrew his gaze after one glance, unwilling to look again.

He lowered his eyes silently, and his eyes fell on the mouse pad with exaggerated pectoral muscles in the backpack.

It turned out that the young and lively girl who proposed this idea was dead.

...he felt sick to his stomach.

He shouldn't be so gluttonous.

Shouldn't have stayed in the store for ice cream, or had a second serving.

"it's not your fault."

The person in my heart whispered.

"The body was highly decomposed, proving that she had been dead for several days."

"It's not that you're late. It's not your fault."

Jiang Yao: "...um."

"Compared with guilt and self-blame, you have more important things to do now."

The person in his heart has a deep and powerful voice.

Like a lighthouse in the fog.No matter how violent the waves are, or how violent the storm may be, it will always stand there.

Always guide and rely on.

Jiang Yao settled down, raised his eyes, and looked at the overly tragic corpse again.

Giant view.

This means that Xu Weiwei has been dead for at least 3 days.

Xu Weiwei lay in the garbage dump of takeaway food.Like Sun Jiayu, she had lost her mind during her lifetime, and she didn't know how to clean up the garbage, but just ate like crazy.

However, all she crazily ate was sweets.

This is a bit strange.

Jiang Yao learned in the course on the population habits of mutants that although mutants overeat, their food preference is mainly live animals and raw meat, not sweets.

As for the owners of Guangcai Studio, the biggest anomaly is that they have become extremely addicted to sweets.

Sun Jiayu's takeaway and snack packaging bags are almost all sweet and greasy high-calorie foods such as milk tea, chocolate, and ice cream.

The same is true for Xu Weiwei in front of her.I am afraid that it is precisely because he ate a lot of sweets before he died, which further promoted the growth of bacteria and mosquitoes, so the view of giants quickly formed.

"What's this?"

Jiang Yao looked around and found some sticky, greasy, grey-yellow things scattered among the garbage on the ground.

It looked like something that was moist and plump had been dehydrated and dried up.Flattened and stuck to the ground.

"Don't use your hands."

The person in my heart reminded me in time.

"wear gloves."

Jiang Yao: "..."

Silently withdrew the hand that wanted to touch directly.

"Backtracking" cannot be used through gloves.

But...be obedient.

Jiang Yao was flipping through his gloves in his bag, when Jiang Chenyue beside him suddenly exclaimed: "Ah!"

Jiang Yao turned his head and saw Jiang Chenyue took a step back in horror, but quickly calmed down again.

"No, nothing... just a fly."

Jiang Chenyue pointed to the face of Xu Weiwei's corpse.

Only then did Jiang Yao notice that a fly just came out of Xu Weiwei's nostril.

The moment his eyes met the fly, Jiang Yao's pupils shrank slightly.

On the flies, he saw something similar to those gray-yellow solids on the ground.

Compared with the dry grayish-yellow solid sticking to the floor, the substance carried by the fly at this moment is obviously much wetter.

Also because it is too wet and heavy, it affects the flight of flies.The flies had to frantically rub their hands and clean their wings, which gave Jiang Yao a chance to observe carefully.

It seems like……

"Brain."

The person in the heart makes a judgment.

Jiang Yao couldn't take his eyes off the small puddle of grayish-yellow wetness on the fly's body.

The flies kept rubbing their hands together.

The pool of grayish-yellow things squirmed slowly with the movements of the flies, as if they were alive.

The harder the fly tried to clean itself, the tighter the slimy stuff clung to him.

In the end, the fly was completely stuck in the mud and did not move.

The gray-yellow substance, like slime mold, slowly climbed up the fly's corpse.

Diagnosed.

"It" really moves by itself.

"Red...Red Oil Mala Tang?!" Jiang Chenyue is a senior investigator after all, seeing this scene, she immediately thought of what happened before, her eyes widened and she said in horror,

"Could it be that Xu Weiwei accidentally ate pollutants similar to red oil and spicy hot pot, which caused the brain to become active and crawled out of the openings of the five sense organs?!"

There is this possibility.

but……

Jiang Yao stared at the ball of brains on the back of the fly.

"It's breeding."

Jiang Chenyue: "?"

Jiang Chenyue took a closer look, and the nausea in her stomach quickly came back.

I saw the gray-yellow slime-like brain slowly rising and falling like breathing after swallowing the fly's corpse.

During the few seconds of their conversation, the grayish-yellow slime had grown in size a lot.In contrast, the fly's body burst open, exposing the sticky internal organs inside.

The grayish-yellow slime clings to it more and more greedily, as if enjoying a delicious meal.

"I understand...I understand!" Jiang Chenyue opened her eyes wide as if struck by lightning, and spoke extremely fast, "Xu Weiwei's brain is not trying to escape because it is polluted, but it is constantly multiplying and absorbing nutrients......that's why she craves sweets...that's why she gets headaches!"

Sweets are the fastest and most efficient nutrient for the brain.

So many people crave sweets when they feel anxious or busy at work.

The same is true of Xu Weiwei's mutated brain.Brain cells take in a lot of sugar and continue to divide and multiply, but they are tightly bound by the hardest bone in the human body—the skull.The mutated cells squeezed each other, and the few remaining healthy brain tissues were compressed and developed into edema, causing Xu Weiwei to experience dizziness and headaches.

As for the line of blood on the wall...

Jiang Yao's gaze fell on the grayish-yellow sticky matter that was also oozing out of Xu Weiwei's ear canal.

I'm afraid it's because of the rising intracranial pressure that's making her ears itchy.When scratching, the brain directly burst through the eardrum and gushed out of the ear canal.

Xu Weiwei was terrified, but couldn't die on the spot.So in great terror and confusion, he struggled to bite his finger and wrote this line of blood on the wall.

"Don't pick your ears."

Both Jiang Yao and Jiang Chenyue involuntarily looked away, unable to bear to watch this miserable scene again.

"...Let's go."

Jiang Chenyue's voice was choked with sobs, and she tried her best to keep calm, "Let's leave the next thing to the executive department."

Jiang Yao was silent, his eyes unconsciously drifted to the mouse pad in the bag.

"……Um."
