Superbase Evolution

Chapter 434 Night Ghost
"Who is this?" The eldest sister looked at Lin Shen and asked.

"This is my colleague Kong Chuan from Tianshi Academy." Lin Shen only stated Kong Chuan's identity and did not introduce the two people to each other.

"Come and take a look." The eldest sister took them to a broken bed placed outside, lifted the torn sheets on the bed, and underneath were two human corpses.

These two human men looked to be around thirty years old, in the prime of their lives.

When they died, they all had strange smiles on their faces, with the corners of their mouths split backwards, like the clowns on the stage who make people laugh.

It seems funny and not so sincere, which makes people feel a little creepy.

In addition to the weird smiles, there is a red palm print on their chest, which is as red as blood, as if it was printed with a bloody hand.

"We have checked and the bones, flesh and heart underneath are not damaged. This palm print is like a tattoo. Apart from causing damage to the skin, it has no other effects. We are now checking to see if anyone else has this bloody palm print." The eldest sister repeated the details.

Lin Shen finally understood why the elder sister and Lao Yu had to take off the clothes of those people for inspection. They were originally looking for bloody handprints on their bodies.

After listening to it, Kong Chuan walked to one of the corpses, rubbed the bloody handprint a few times, then raised his hand to look at his fingers. There was no red on them, which showed that the bloody handprints were not printed with color.

Kong Chuan frowned slightly, then leaned down and sniffed the bloody handprint with his nose, then raised his head and said to Lin Shen: "No need to check, I know who did it."

"Who?" Everyone looked at Kong Chuan.

Kong Chuan asked, "Have you ever heard of the Night Ghost Clan?"

Seeing that everyone looked confused, Kong Chuan continued, "About seven or eight hundred years ago, the Night Ghost Clan suddenly rose up and caused panic on many planets. The Night Ghost Clan is very peculiar. During the day, they are not much different from normal humans. The special thing about the Night Ghost Clan is their eyes. The Night Ghost Clan are born with double pupils, that is, there are two pupils in one eye."

"Their eyeballs can rotate 360 degrees in their eye sockets. One side has a blue pupil, and the other side has a red pupil. During the day, their pupils are the common blue color, but at night, their eyeballs will flip and show the blood-red pupils outside."

"The evolutionary technique practiced by the Night Ghosts is the same, called "Night Song". It is an evolutionary technique that can gain the innate ability of sound. Therefore, the Night Ghosts are very good at sound abilities. Low-level Night Ghosts can also use sound to deceive people, and more advanced ones can even use sound to kill people directly."

"In addition, the Night Ghosts have a very cruel habit. When they turn into blood pupils at night, they will use a method called ghost handprint to kill people. People who are hit by the ghost handprint will have a blood handprint on their chest, just like these two people. This blood handprint looks like it has no damage other than being printed on the skin, and it smells like a faint fragrance. But as long as you open the body, you will find that even if the body has just died, there is no drop of blood in it."

"Why do the Night Ghosts want to kill people?" the eldest sister asked with a frown.

"Legend has it that they use ghost handprints to suck human blood to maintain their own lives and youth. They are a very evil race. Several hundred years ago, the Night Ghosts once made all the tribes panic, and they joined forces to completely eradicate the Night Ghosts. After that, there was very little news about the Night Ghosts. When I was working at the Tianshi Academy, I once encountered a remnant of the Night Ghosts in an incident. I looked up some information and got to know more about the Night Ghosts."

"This bloody handprint is the same as the ghost handprint I encountered back then. This method is only used by the Night Ghost Clan. It must have been done by the remnants of the Night Ghost Clan."

Lin Shen frowned and said, "You mean, there are some Night Ghosts who have escaped the net on the Giant Ring Star?" "That should be the case. It's easy to find the Night Ghosts. Gather everyone together, and then check if they are wearing contact lenses or something like that. Make sure they don't have any. Wait until night time, and whoever's pupils turn blood red is a member of the Night Ghost Clan. They themselves have no way to control the changes in their pupils." Kong Chuan said.

"This method is feasible. Let's give it a try." The eldest sister nodded.

"Let's try it first." Lin Shen didn't think it was that simple.

"Dean Tian seems to think there is something wrong with my method?" Kong Chuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Please point out any problems so that I can correct them."

"There is nothing wrong with your method, but the night on this giant ring star is problematic. You should have learned about the situation on the giant ring star before coming here. You should know that the night here is very dangerous and you cannot go out in the dark." Lin Shen said.

"What does this have to do with us finding the remnants of the Night Ghost Clan? Are you afraid that he will break into the house and use the darkness to die with us? Dean, you can rest assured. With me here, they won't have this chance." Kong Chuan said confidently.

"The reason you mentioned is just one of them. What I am most worried about is that the Night Ghost Clan can come and go freely in the dark night of the Giant Ring Star." Lin Shen expressed his concerns.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the humming woman he had spied on through the crack in the wall was most likely a member of the Night Ghost Clan.

But Lao Yu said that no one lived in that room. Lao Yu would patrol the room before dark every day and be the last one to enter. If an outsider entered, Lao Yu should be able to find out.

Since Lao Yu failed to find it, it is very likely that the woman entered the stone house after nightfall. This means that the Night Ghosts can move freely in the dark night of the Giant Ring Star, or at least have a certain ability to move at night.

Of course, these are just Lin Shen’s own guesses and may not be the case. It may just be a coincidence.

Kong Chuan was a little unconvinced after hearing this: "Although the Night Ghost Clan has the word 'night' in its name and has night vision, it is indeed more ferocious at night than during the day, but the night of this Giant Ring Star is not an ordinary night, but a manifestation of the power of rules. Not to mention ordinary Night Ghost Clan members, even Nirvana-level ones cannot go out casually in the dark night of Giant Ring Star, otherwise they will be injured or even killed by the power of the night rules. Dean Tian, you worry too much. The Night Ghost Clan that killed people cannot be a Nirvana-level strongman, otherwise they would not have to kill people secretly in the middle of the night."

"Then how do we explain that these people did not die in their own rooms, nor in other people's rooms, but died in an uninhabited room?" Lin Shen pondered.

"Need I say more? The Night Ghosts must be hiding in the village. They took advantage of the time when it was getting dark or just getting light, when everyone else had gone back to their rooms or hadn't come out yet, and rushed in to kill people, or dumped the bodies in uninhabited houses."

"According to what you said, can't we just kill someone and leave? Is there any need to specifically abandon the body?"

Kong Chuan had obviously thought about this question as well, and he retorted, "This is what the Night Ghosts want to do, to mislead others into thinking that these evil deeds were committed by genetically modified creatures that can walk in the dark, so that they will not suspect them, and they can continue to lurk in the village, or even migrate with the village to places with more people."

When he said this, his eyes were looking at Lin Shen, as if to say that Lin Shen was the one who was misled.
