Chapter 80: The Four Stages of Possession

Being accused by Wu Xian repeatedly made Jia a little angry: "What's the problem with my refuge?"

“They are all problems!”

"Although this shelter has all the necessary living facilities, you are a researcher. There isn't even a book here. Don't you think it's out of place?"

"in addition……"

Wu Xian pounded the table loudly to emphasize.

"Storing supplies in different categories is the soul of a shelter!"

In the process of investigating the "Fudi Case", Wu Xian, who had no clues, once believed that the end of the world was coming and the frequent cases of missing people were a precursor to the end of the world.

During that time, he was obsessed with doomsday literature and built himself a doomsday shelter in the large basement under his own detective agency.

Therefore, as soon as Wu Xian entered the shelter, he realized that something was wrong.

"The storage room is empty, what kind of shelter is it? Don't insult the doomsday culture!"

After listening to Wu Xian's words.

Jia's face suddenly turned red, and he gasped heavily, filled with grievance and anger at being suspected.

"I kind of regret saving you now!"

"You don't trust me, and I don't trust you either!"

"Do you think I would bring you, whom I just met for the first time, directly to my lair? This is just a backup hiding place. I originally planned to observe you for a few days before taking you to the real shelter. Now... since you are so smart, you can hide here by yourself to avoid the evil spirits!"

Wu Xian spread his hands: "Okay, that's reasonable."

He fiddled with the can of spray and said to Jia in a cold voice, "Your biggest flaw is the smell. It's a loophole you can't cover up anyway, because you're eager to get me to spray the spray evenly..."

"But you don't smell like any spray yourself!"

Wu Xian said this.

Jia really couldn't pretend anymore, his expression was no longer as colorful as before, instead showing a hint of indifference and calmness.

"Oh, I forgot."

This was a perfunctory lie, but Wu Xian didn't delve into it. He smelled the spray again.

"If my guess is correct, this thing is not a spray to disguise evil spirits, but... Tsk tsk, judging from the fresh smell, this spray is more like a seasoning for you evil spirits!"

Jia was slightly surprised.

“You know how to cook too?”

"You are indeed a top-notch ingredient. I am different from those beasts who only know how to eat raw food roughly!"

His tone gradually became intoxicated, his facial expression was distorted to the extreme, his eyes widened and narrowed, his lips twitched constantly, and he danced while talking, looking extremely crazy.

"I like humans. I like them so much that I wish I could have them every day!"

"The male ones are chewy, the female ones are tender, and the older ones have more flavor... Such top-quality ingredients, just killing them to suck out the dead air, or eating them alive, is simply a waste of food!"

"So I started to study cooking methods and carefully developed this spray seasoning. Humans marinated with this seasoning, even their feet, taste delicious!"

"Can you understand how much I love this seasoning? This is the highest honor for a chef..."

Talking and talking.

Jia drooled, his skin began to turn blue, his blood vessels were clearly visible, his eyeballs were slightly bulging and were pitch black, he had creepy fangs growing in his mouth, and an indescribable evil aura emanated from his body.

"It's okay if you don't want to be sprayed with my seasoning. You can spray it on after you die, but it will lack some of the freshness."

Wu Xian curled his lips and commented in a frivolous tone.

"This is the evil spirit that has successfully taken over another person's body. Let's call it a body-stealing evil spirit... As expected, because it is covered in a living body, it looks very different from other evil spirits."

In fact, he looked calm, but he was a little panicked inside.

Wu Xian followed Jia into the shelter, which was a trap. This was Jia's home turf, and Wu Xian had no idea how powerful the body-stealing monster was. In addition, Wu Xian just thought of a question.

His precious Five Thunder Curse comes down in the form of falling lightning. So when he is in a building, will the falling lightning hit the roof, or will it pass through the floors and hit him directly?
Wu Xian didn't dare to gamble, so the only props he could use now were the Bagua Magic Mirror and the Miasma Curse.

The two sides are at war with each other, and the battle is about to break out.

Just now.

boom!
The door to the shelter was broken open.

Wu Xian and Jia both looked towards the door in a hurry.

There were several soldiers standing at the door. The soldier in the front was half-crouching, and the soldier in the back was holding a gun. Four submachine guns were aimed at the Jia family.

Jia was first surprised, then terrified, and suddenly rushed towards the soldiers trying to escape.

At the same time, flames spurted out of the soldier's gun.

Bang bang, bang bang!
Dense bullets poured out, and Jia was shot into a sieve in the blink of an eye.

Wu Xian originally thought that guns were ineffective against evil spirits, but he saw that Jia's wound was bleeding profusely. This blood made Jia miserable, and he let out a sharp wail. It seemed as if something in his body had dissipated, and his body fell to the ground motionless like a pile of rotten meat...

"The patient with the special body possession syndrome, 'Jia', has been executed!"

The soldier reported using the communicator on his body and left with Jia's body. Xu Ming ran in with sweat all over his forehead, and was relieved to see that Wu Xian was safe and sound.

"I'm so glad you're okay."

Wu Xian took a step back, picked up an ashtray, and pretended to throw it at him.

Xu Ming hurriedly comforted Wu Xian.

"Relax a little, I mean no harm to you. That evil spirit disguised as Jia must have said a lot of bad things about us."

Wu Xian said gloomily, "Yes, he said you are all evil spirits."

Xu Ming smiled.

Everyone else in the room laughed heartily.

Xu Ming smiled and shook his head: "It's been so long, and this evil spirit still only has this one routine. Please follow me. This time I will really take you to a big meal. If you have any questions, just ask me. I can answer them all for you."

Wu Xian hesitated for a moment, took the large bottle of spray and put it in his pocket, and followed Xu Ming.

As he walked, he asked his own questions.

"You said I was the first patient to be cured, so I should have high experimental value. It is related to the survival of the entire human race. You can't be so reckless to take me out of the laboratory. How do you explain this?"

Xu Ming answered casually.

"It's simple. You are not the first person to be cured. In fact, the relevant healing technology has long been mature and has a 100% success rate."

"Otherwise, we wouldn't have left the door of the room where you were treated unlocked. If you hadn't come out early and scared us, we wouldn't have thought you were an evil spirit."

Wu Xian was not satisfied with this explanation.

If you say so, there will be more doubts.

"Then why did I crawl out of the snake? This doesn't look like treatment at all!"

Xu Ming pushed up his glasses.

"This requires us to talk about the stages of possession syndrome. Except for a few evil spirits that can possess bodies very quickly, most evil spirits have to go through four stages when possessing bodies."

"First there is the incubation period. The person whose body is possessed is usually conscious, but he will always sleepwalk and feel that there are other people at home. He will find someone spying on him in the mirror, outside the window, and through the crack of the door. Various furniture will move inexplicably. When he sleeps, he will find a strange figure standing by the bed..."

"Then comes the collapse phase. The possessed person is driven insane by the abnormal condition and cannot sleep properly. He or she will try to knock himself or herself out with physical means, or take a large amount of sleeping pills, or even commit suicide."

"Then comes the pupation stage. The possessed person falls into a deep coma, and a snake-like pupae forms on the outside of the body. The consciousness enters the new device, and the self-awareness gradually disappears in an endless cycle..."

"Treatment is only meaningful in the first three stages, because once you enter the fourth stage... the evil spirit in human skin will appear!"
