Chapter 39: Lure the Rat Out of the Hole? No, There Is Also a "Ghost"!

"The injuries on this mouse are indeed burns, but from my observation, this mouse seems to have drowned first."

Wen Quan handed the test report to Jiang Chen and said, "Brother Chen, are you sure you didn't fish it out of the pond?"

"No."

Jiang Chen took the report and frowned slightly.

It was not scalded to death but drowned. Could it be that there were several creatures attacking the mouse together?

"By the way, have you figured out the situation of the deformed mouse? Is it a natural mutation, or..."

Jiang Chen couldn't figure out the reason for a while, so he simply changed the subject.

"I got the analysis report of the mutated rats that day. It is confirmed that it is caused by external forces, but I can't say whether it is man-made."

Wen Quan shook his head and said, "But I may have found the reason for the mutation of these mutated rats."

As he spoke, Wen Quan picked out a small piece of white flesh from the rat corpse brought by Jiang Chen and said, "According to my tests in the past two days, the changes in these rats seem to be caused by this piece of flesh."

"From the current research results, this piece of flesh seems to have the ability to transform the body of living beings, and..."

Wen Quan paused, carefully took out a glass bottle, took out a piece of white meat of similar size, and put it next to the previous white meat.

Then, in Jiang Chen's surprised eyes, the two pieces of white meat actually crawled towards each other, and split into thin tentacles, and after entangled with each other, they actually merged into one piece.

"From our current investigation results, these white meats will guide the mice to find other white meats. The more they devour, the stronger they become."

Jiang Chen's heart trembled when he heard this. If they devour each other, they will continue to become stronger. With the scale of the rat group, won't many silver rats be born soon?

"But this kind of white meat seems to have very high requirements for the parasite. The deformed body should not be able to withstand the transformation of white meat, so it will become like that."

After saying his opinion, Wen Quan suddenly saw Jiang Chen staring at him seriously, and his face suddenly turned red again, saying: "These are all my own opinions, I am not sure if they are right, after all..."

"You only know a little bit, I understand."

Jiang Chen smiled, looked at the white meat in front of him, and suddenly said: "Wen Quan, can you give me some of this white meat? By the way, sell me two bottles of spirit-repelling spray and spirit-attracting spray."

"Also, please contact Xiao Yan for me and ask him to go to this address tonight when he is free."

...

"Xiao Chen, are you still staying here tonight? I will prepare dinner for you."

Seeing Jiang Chen come to the orphanage again, Dean Leng's eyes flashed with helplessness, and said: "Recently, the patrols in the surrounding area have increased a lot, Xiao Chen, you don't have to worry."

Perhaps because of the reports from Xiao Yan and Wen Quan, the patrol intensity of Lingyin City has been significantly strengthened, especially these corners that are usually ignored, which are the top priority.

"I understand."

Jiang Chen nodded, then took out a bottle of spirit-repelling spray and handed it to Dean Leng, saying: "Dean, after dark, spray this near the doors and windows, and remember not to go out, understand?"

"Xiao Chen, you... I know."

Dean Leng seemed to have noticed something, but after seeing Jiang Chen's firm eyes, he still took the spray.

"Xiao Chen, be careful."

"Yeah."

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, and then came to the abandoned path behind the orphanage.

It was already a little dark, but there was still no trace of stray cats and dogs here, and the silence was a little scary.

Jiang Chen walked along the path for a while, and finally chose a place, took out the glass bottle with white meat, opened the lid and sprayed some spirit-attracting potion, and then took Fa Cai to hide in the distance.

Da Da?

Smelling the smell of the spirit-attracting potion, Fa Cai became excited again, but after seeing the piece of white meat, a hint of disgust suddenly appeared in his round eyes.

"Fa Cai, do you hate that piece of white meat?"

Jiang Chen was a little surprised. According to Wen Quan, most creatures should not be able to resist the temptation of this kind of white meat, but he didn't expect to find that he had no interest at all.

Da Da!

Fa Cai nodded vigorously, and then used his claws to make a gold coin shape.

"I know you like eating gold coins the most."

Jiang Chen couldn't help laughing when he saw this. After thinking about it, he took Fa Cai into the farm together.

The silver flower buds on the fruit tree still looked the same, forming a sharp contrast with the bronze mutant life core next to it.

"It really doesn't grow at all."

Jiang Chen shook his head helplessly, then took out two golden life cores and buried them under the fruit tree. Soon four black iron mutant gold coins appeared on the fruit tree.

This was exchanged from the life core he obtained two days ago. Although he wanted to exchange for the bronze mutant life core, he only exchanged for two black iron mutant life cores because he was short of money.

"Fa Cai, eat these four gold coins together and see if you can enter the overload state."

Da Da!

Upon hearing that there were gold coins to eat, Fa Cai cheered and rushed out. In just a blink of an eye, Fa Cai ate all four gold coins.

After eating four black iron mutant gold coins at the same time, the gold line behind Fa Cai suddenly became brighter, but it was still not overloaded.

"Let's do this for now."

Jiang Chen glanced at the bronze mutant gold coin, thought about it, and left the farm with Fa Cai.

The path was still quiet, but some subtle movements could still be heard faintly.

Jiang Chen immediately took Fa Cai to a hidden corner and hid him. At the same time, he took out another bottle of spirit-repelling spray and sprayed it on himself, and then stared at the direction of the white meat.

Because of the spirit-inducing spray, some mosquitoes were also attracted and flew into the glass bottle.

But they were obviously not blessed with this evil white meat. As soon as they approached, they were swallowed by the tentacles that emerged from the white meat.

"Such a dangerous thing, is it born naturally or artificially made..."

Jiang Chen frowned slightly, wondering how many such white meats there were under Lingyin City.

Squeak, squeak, squeak~

Just then, a subtle rat cry attracted Jiang Chen's attention. Jiang Chen immediately slowed down his breathing and hid himself more concealed. Fa Cai also prepared for the battle.

Soon, in a dark corner, several big gray rats ran out. After smelling the fragrance of white meat, they rushed to it.

"This place really hides a lot of rats!"

Looking at the rats fighting for the white meat, Jiang Chen's eyes flashed a gleam of light.

The reason why he asked Wen Quan for such a piece of white meat and the spirit-attracting spray was to lure out the nearby rats once and for all.

Soon, the rats decided the winner. After a rat ate the white meat, its strength immediately soared, and it easily tore apart other rats and swallowed them as food.

After swallowing the flesh and blood, the remaining rat also expanded a lot, but it was still not to the extent of a deformed species.

The white meat that Jiang Chen asked for was only a little bit, even smaller than the piece he found from the scalded rat corpse, and not enough to cause deformation.

After all, this place is near the orphanage, and Jiang Chen does not want to create a threat himself.

But at this moment, a twisted black shadow suddenly jumped out from the ground and bit the rat's neck.

It's a deformed rat!

Da Da!

Seeing the deformed species appear, Fa Cai wanted to take action immediately, but was stopped by Jiang Chen.

"Wait a little longer, the real owner hasn't come out yet..."

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes and kept looking around.

Today, he not only wanted to lure out the rat, but also the "ghost" whose origin was unknown!
