Chapter 626: Chapter 626 Headless Rooster_1

Just as everyone was discussing how to deal with the Corpse Puppet Gu, the always silent Wu Qiyi suddenly asked you, "Is the Corpse Puppet Gu concocted, or is it bred?"

Her question made everyone fall silent and turn their heads to look at you.

Apart from Zhao’er, who never needed to use his brain to think, not one of them was a fool. As soon as Wu Qiyi spoke, they saw the key issue.

"Every Corpse Driver family keeps a pair of Corpse Gu Kings, and the smaller Corpse Puppet Gus are laid by those kings. At the same time, this is also what I am most worried about. Under the control of the Corpse Drivers, the number of eggs a Corpse Gu King can lay is limited; however, if in Ming Liang Village they are not artificially controlled, then they could produce a terrifying number."

At this point, you couldn’t help but sigh lightly, "Frankly, I now would rather believe that there is someone planning this behind the scenes because at least that way the number of Corpse Puppet Gus would be within a certain controllable range. If they have already escaped the control of the Corpse Drivers, then..."

There was no need to say more; everyone in the vehicle understood.

Ming Liang Village is located in the northwest suburbs of Yuhang, accessible by highway the whole way; in about twenty minutes or so, the stretched Hummer slowly stopped on an open space outside the village, where several police cars and three military police armored vehicles had already been parked.

As soon as the car door opened, Ding Xiaofeng and Sun Mingyu came up to greet you.

"Mingyu, how are the villagers doing?"

As a criminal policeman, Xian Qianling was naturally most concerned about the well-being of the general public.

Sun Mingyu’s expression remained relatively calm, "Captain, everyone’s mood is still quite stable, but we did not reveal the truth, only sealed off the village under other pretexts."

"Hmm, you did well. As long as you didn’t cause a panic, that’s fine."

"What about Zongzi?"

Scanning the surroundings, you didn’t see Zong Wangyue and couldn’t help but ask.

"He’s still at the scene watching that headless rooster."

"Since when did this fat guy become so dedicated?" Yang Kai asked with a hint of surprise as he stepped out of the car.

Xiao Feng smiled and said, "Don’t judge him by his usual laid-back appearance. In fact, his ambition is stronger than anyone else’s, it’s just that he hasn’t had a chance to show it."

Nodding, you took a couple of steps forward and then slightly closed your eyes.

Your gaze gradually rose, and soon, the large outline of Ming Liang Village was completely in view.

Built against a mountain range, surrounded by hills on three sides, Ming Liang Village could be considered a scenic spot from a geographical standpoint.

A clear river flowed from the mountains, and the village itself was built besides the mountain and along the river. The river effectively cut off the village from the outer fields, which is why the villagers built three bridges to the outside - two of them were paved with concrete, and one with gravel, while the bridges over the river were arch bridges made of blue stone slabs a few decades ago.

It was this very river that formed a natural barrier. The criminal police and SWAT quickly set up a cordon along the riverbank, and it was strictly forbidden for any person or even an animal to cross the river.

When you slowly opened your eyes, you found that Xian Qianling also had her eyes closed, seemingly sensing the environment around her.

Seeing you open your eyes, Xian Qianling promptly said, "Let’s go take a look at that headless rooster first, and figure out the cause of this affair. I just hope the rooster didn’t end up like that because of the Corpse Puppet Gu."

Although not ruling out other possibilities, the probability was not large.

Seeing Xiao Feng open his eyes, at this moment, his pupils also turned a deep azure, as if you were looking into a piece of the sky through them.

"Madman, how does it feel?"

"Although I can see generally, it’s still very blurry." Despite the unsatisfactory results, Xiao Feng was still excited, because this greatly meant his strength would gradually increase in the following period rather than remain stagnant.

"Alright, let’s slowly comprehend and for now, let’s go find Zongzi."

Under Sun Mingyu’s guidance, you didn’t enter the village but walked on the cement path at the edge of the village. This path was bordered by the forest on one side and houses on the other, with only about two to three meters of space between them.

Along the way, you deliberately glanced into the forest several times and noticed the lush forests on three sides of Ming Liang Village, especially at the back mountain, which felt impenetrable, as dense as a tropical rainforest with tightly packed vegetation.

"Boss!"

From the side of a very ordinary house, Zong Wangyue greeted you from a distance.

"Zongzi, how’s the headless rooster now?"

"Here, it keeps hiding in the straw shed."

Following the direction Zong Wangyue pointed, you turned your heads and indeed saw a skinny rooster tucked in a corner of the straw shed. The place was damp and dark, and beside it, there were also two smaller hens trembling nonstop, while the straw-covered ground was littered with chicken feathers.

"How did this chicken come about?" Xian Qianling asked.

"The village chief said that this family raised about twenty chickens, including three roosters. Usually, they don’t kill roosters because a hen raised for three months sells for around twenty yuan, while roosters are two to three times more expensive. Half a month ago, the daughter of the household was to be married, and by village tradition, a rooster feast must be had at home before her wedding. However, when the man of the house cut off the rooster’s head, the rooster continued to flap its wings and sprayed a lot of blood everywhere. Frightened, the man instantly let go of the knife, and the rooster managed to survive with its head off."

Seeing everyone listening intently, Zong Wangyue laughed and continued, "At that time, everyone thought it was novel, and as they were busy with the daughter’s wedding, they locked the headless rooster away, expecting it to die on its own. But after the daughter’s wedding, they found the headless rooster still hadn’t died."

"It’s just a chicken, let me take a look."

As Xian Qianling was about to step forward, you rushed up and grabbed her shoulder.

She turned around, and you shook your head slightly, "Don’t act rashly; there’s something unusual about this house."

Then, you asked Zong Wangyue, "Zongzi, what about the people from this household?"

"They have all been gathered at the Grain Drying Yard by the village chief. Didn’t you say that thing is afraid of sunlight, Boss? After discussing it with Captain Ding, we decided to have the village chief mobilize everyone to have a collective sunbathing session."

"Good idea."

Nodding your head, you strode forth.

Seeing this, Xian Qianling hurriedly cautioned, "Be careful."

Glancing sideways at the crazy woman, you slowly approached the straw shed.

Your approach made the headless rooster and the other two hens tremble even more violently.

Without waiting for the headless rooster to react, you stepped forward swiftly, extended your hand, and quickly grabbed the neck of the headless rooster, lifting it up!
