Chapter 68: Eerie Horror
The video continued…
The man who ate his fingers was still smiling.
With that bloody, raw face, he looked like a vengeful ghost!
After eating all five fingers.
He picked up the dagger and plunged it into his chest and abdomen.
Once, twice…
Xiao Yu, with a completely numb scalp, quietly watched this scene in the video.
Sixteen stabs in total, the man stopped.
Not because he wanted to stop.
But because his body couldn’t take it, collapsing to the ground…
The video ended!
Xiao Yu closed his eyes.
He felt his brain was a bit overwhelmed.
Too much information, too chaotic, too eerie.
Forcing himself to analyze, his head was hurting.
First, Xiao Yu denied the video’s authenticity.
What kind of person could be ruthless enough to slash their own face a hundred times?
What kind of person could chop off their own fingers one by one and eat them?
The most excessive part was, while doing these things.
They were calm and unhurried, showing no signs of pain.
You should know such pain is beyond what any normal person can endure.
No normal person could do this!
Abnormal person?
This isn’t a movie; the human body has pain nerves.
Fine, maybe there’s a rare person born without pain sensation.
Understandable.
But you have two people displaying this behavior, is that reasonable?
Xiao Yu was truly stunned.
His face blank, he couldn’t believe someone could go this far.
Because, this was beyond his brain’s ability to analyze.
After a long while, a recovered Xiao Yu clicked on the third video…
Five minutes later, he almost vomited.
He saw the person in the video slicing off their own flesh, eating it slowly…
Until death!
The fourth video.
Another person, cutting off their own nose, eyes, ears, tongue, feet, arms…
The fifth video.
The person knelt on the ground, opened their chest and abdomen, took out their organs, and put them…
After watching all five videos.
Xiao Yu’s scalp was completely numb, his eyelids twitching.
If the first two videos could be described as eerie, as horrifying.
The latter three, a normal person couldn’t watch them.
It could easily cause psychological trauma, leaving a shadow!
Despite being somewhat versed in criminal psychology, Xiao Yu.
Using psychological hints, psychological adjustments…
It took an hour.
Only then did he calm his mind from the horror.
Xiao Yu no longer felt like looking at the case file.
Just from the five surveillance videos, he guessed the gist.
One person doing this could be seen as suicide.
Two people doing this was beyond understanding.
Three, four, five people…
The answer was clear; it couldn’t be self-harm or suicide.
Some method, some way, or some force… was driving them!
Xiao Yu reopened the video, checking the timestamps.
2022, 2021, 2020…
One occurrence each year?
Starting five years ago?
With brows tightly knit, Xiao Yu finally clicked on the dossier.
Special C, Confidential A!
Xiao Yu: ???
First stunned, then took a sharp breath.
Special Grade C?
Confidential Grade A?
Major cases have levels.
Divided into S… A, B, C, D, E.
For example, E-grade is the most ordinary level of major series cases.
More than three lives, a significant amount of drugs, huge amounts involved, causing a massive impact…
Like the family massacre case Xiao Yu solved.
Three family members died tragically, their bodies nearly turned to dust.
It was only an E-grade major case.
The recent body smuggling case.
Involving thousands of bodies, how shocking, barely D-grade major.
For major cases in China, once it reaches D-grade, local authorities have no jurisdiction; National Security takes over.
Local investigative agencies assist.
The current case was classified as C-grade?
It showed National Security’s attention level far exceeded the body smuggling case!
Makes sense…
Just those five videos already indicated the problem.
No wonder Wang Dong warned him not to leak the USB contents.
If these five videos were made public, what kind of panic would it cause among the populace?
Would horror movies dare depict scenes as in the videos?
Xiao Yu focused intently on the case details…
Summer, 2018, late night.
City C, 110 received a report call.
The caller claimed they were night jogging, passing through a park, witnessing a terrifying self-mutilation case.
At the time of the incident, the caller ran into the open park.
Hearing some strange noises, they ran over to check.
Found a woman in white, like a night ghost, holding a knife, slashing her face…
The terrified caller fled.
Due to fear, thinking they encountered something unclean, they were so scared they reported it hours later.
By the time the police arrived, the victim’s body had long gone cold.
Later, the police retrieved the park’s surveillance…
