Monster Paradise - Chapter 235

Chapter 235

After he hung up, Lin Huang sent the codes of the four men’s Emperor’s Heart Ring to Yang Ling . Within minutes, Yang Ling sent him the images of the four men’s conversations . However, the four of them were talking with four different accounts . All of them were females without profile pictures . The conversations were explicit with the exchanging of images . However, the images that were sent by the ladies were deleted, so Lin Huang could not tell who they were .

Just when Lin Huang was planning to call Yang Ling to ask about the deleted photos, Yang Ling called .

"I have investigated the four female accounts and although their addresses were all in Luoxi City, they were in different locations . However, all of the accounts were temporary ones whereby they would stop using the account after two to three days . Besides the first account, the other three accounts were created 25 to 26 days after the first account was created . Therefore, it was normal that the locations were different . It’s highly likely that the four accounts belong to the same person . " Yang Ling started talking since Lin Huang picked up his call .

"Is it possible to retrieve the deleted photos?" Although Lin Huang knew it was not possible, he wanted to try his luck anyway .

"That’s not possible as the application’s programming is very simple . It’s good that it can keep the messages but it’s impossible to retrieve deleted photos . Moreover, the creator of the application made it for fun without the intention to make the application big, so it’s not connected to the cloud network of the Emperor’s Heart Ring . There’s no backup of messages in the application," Yang Ling said with his arms open .

"Are you the creator?" Lin Huang had the assumption when he heard Yang Ling said that the application had been created just for fun .

"Oh…You got me . " Yang Ling shrugged his shoulders .

"Is there nothing that you can do?" Lin Huang asked .

"There’s really nothing that I can do as the programming itself is flawed . I never wanted it to be perfect . All I wanted was a smooth conversation in the application, so I didn’t put in many functions on the application . I used less than two hours to create it and launched it right away…" Yang Ling explained .

"Send me all the four addressed of the ladies then . " Lin Huang thought the only clue that he might get was from the addresses .

Yang Ling sent the addresses immediately . Lin Huang projected the map and located the coordinates of the four underground hotels . He then connected all the coordinates to the manhole where the dead bodies were found .

"Please check for me all the surveillance cameras on the route to the manhole on the same night when the four men died . See if there’s anyone who appeared repetitively . If that person appeared several times when the bodies were getting rid of, the person could be the murderer that we are looking for," Lin Huang said to Yang Ling .

"I'll do that . Besides on the day itself, I will also look at the days after the incident happened . "

"If there’s anything else that you need my help with, tell me now . I have things to do after 10 at night, you know," Yang Ling added .

"Not at the moment, I’ll let you know tomorrow . Is it possible to send me the surveillance footages by today?" Lin Huang asked .

"I need time for that, I’ll send them to you before 10 . " Yang Ling hung up the phone right away .

It was almost nine o’clock when the conversation ended . Lin Huang proceeded to read about the Brain Eater . However, the more he read, the more difficult he realized it was for him to handle the monster . The Brain Eater was a monster who relied on asexual reproduction . They usually lived up to 300 years and then would they start reproducing when they knew they were almost at their end . Their reproductive method was unique as a ball-shaped baby Brain Eater would grow on its head . The baby would absorb all the nutrients that it needed from its mother and grow . Once the mother was dead, it would detach from its mother .

Within 48 hours of detachment, it needed to find a host or else it would die . A Brain Eater that was just detached from its mother was only a size of a thumb, so it was hard to discover . It would usually go into another creature’s body and head to the brain . Once it arrived at the brain, it would attach its bottom on the host’s brain and release a massive amount of neurotoxins . The brain would lose its nerve function without feeling any pain . The Brain Eater would then devour the brain as the host was in deep sleep and take over the host’s body .

Han Ji had done many experiments on dead criminals by getting the Brain Eater to take over the dead criminal's body to see what would happen . According to the research, the Brain Eater would most probably inherit the host’s character on its first attempt . For instance, if the host loved smoking, he would still be smoking after his body was taken over . The same applied to those who loved drinking and eating spicy food . Such inheritance proved that the Brain Eater would take over most of the memory of the host .

The Brain Eater would not have its own consciousness during its first attempt of inhabiting a host’s body just to survive . Therefore, the first attempt would affect its own consciousness as it would mostly be affected by the host’s memories . Its consciousness was basically built on the host’s memories . For the following infections, the Brain Eater would acquire the memories of the following hosts as well especially after it has experienced the memory from its first host . However, the memories of the following hosts would do little to affect the Brain Eater .

Once the first takeover was done, the Brain Eater considered as an adult . It could absorb all the information from the memories that it wanted and learn from them to adapt to the environment as soon as possible . If the Brain Eater took over a human body, its learning speed would be terrifying because it could learn to use most of the tools within a couple of days . The most it needed was two to three days to perform exactly the same as the host without exposing itself to others .

Although the reproduction ability of a Brain Eater was weak, it was the most difficult one to handle among many parasites . As Lin Huang was indulged in the documents of Brain Eater that Han Ji sent, a message snapped him out of his focus . It was a short, single-sentence message from Yang Ling .

"I’ve found the culprit but I can’t see the face…"
