Living Funeral
We saw several Black Dogs in the carriage, and these Black Dogs were gnawing on the corpses of infants. In the darkness, their eyes glowed.
I looked at the infant corpses in the carriage; some had been reduced to nothing but bones.
At that moment, we felt a chill run down our spines, and everyone's faces turned pale. What the hell was going on? Perhaps we had disturbed these Black Dogs, as they soon began barking furiously at us.
Gao Ling cursed, "You little mutts, what are you barking for? Keep it up and I'll break your legs."
I stared at the Black Dogs, and after Gao Ling's shout, they indeed fell silent but continued to feast on the infant corpses.
I glanced around anxiously and then picked up a brick from the ground, intending to jump onto the carriage. However, I was pulled back by Gao Ling.
Gao Ling said, "Fei, these Black Dogs are eating corpses; they must be eerie. If you get bitten, it will be trouble."
At that moment, the woman in red also said to me, "Chen Lang is right; don't act impulsively."
But seeing those Black Dogs devouring the children's bodies made it hard for me to look away. They didn't seem afraid of us at all, even though there were several of us. It was as if we were beneath their notice.
I turned around to find a stick. Gao Ling's car was parked in the garage, so I grabbed a wrench from the trunk and jumped onto the carriage.
Damn it! I started smashing at those Black Dogs. Finally, they seemed startled and began jumping off the carriage to flee. However, one of them was quickly struck down by Gao Ling with a brick, collapsing to the ground.
Blood spilled everywhere.
I glanced at the woman in red and asked, "What is going on?"
The woman in the red dress said, "Chen Lang, I don't know. I followed someone here, thinking this was her lair."
Hearing this from the woman in red, I didn't have much to say. Suddenly, a guess popped into my mind: the murderer must have killed the baby and then tossed it into this compartment to feed these Black Dogs, while also covering up the evidence.
Zhao Fan said, "Brother Fei, this situation is really tricky. Director Ouyang refuses to call the police. So many lives have been lost; if we don't report it and it leaks out, it could be disastrous."
I also felt that this matter was complicated and that we should report it. However, our opinions didn't count; without Director Ouyang's approval, it would be difficult to proceed.
I was panting when the woman in red said to me, "Chen Lang, it's time for me to go."
I nodded, and she quickly vanished. The three of us were left in the garage. Gao Ling asked me, "Fei, what should we do now?"
I replied to Gao Ling that we should close the compartment door for now and wait for Gao Qing to arrive.
This situation was becoming increasingly bizarre. The methods of this guy were truly strange; previously, he had discarded a baby directly into a trash bin without fear of exposure. Now he had dumped so many baby corpses in this compartment and used them to raise Black Dogs.
Who could have done this? Something felt off!
I remembered Wang Yan mentioning the mysterious deaths of babies, but there were no missing corpses. Yet here, there were so many bodies.
In the surveillance footage, the faceless person had devoured a corpse without care, but here there were piles of baby corpses.
It was strange; I suddenly felt that something was amiss.
Could it be that there was more than one murderer this time? One who enjoyed eating corpses and another who collected them to raise dogs?
Was it really that sinister?
As I thought about it, I felt a chill run down my spine. I stood frozen in place, watching the black dog that Gao Ling had knocked to the ground still convulsing.
Zhao Fan asked me if we should call Director Ouyang.
I nodded and said, "Go ahead. We need to discuss reporting this." Zhao Fan quickly made a call to Director Ouyang, while Gao Ling also dialed Gao Qing.
This time, the call went through. After a few words, Gao Ling's expression changed. I could tell he had been scolded just by looking at his face.
About a minute later, Director Ouyang arrived. Upon seeing the body of the baby in the compartment, he cursed loudly, exclaiming that the perpetrator's methods were truly monstrous and appalling.
Despite his fierce words, when it came to calling the police, his demeanor shifted. He said, "We can't report this; it would tarnish the hospital's reputation. If we report it, why would I even bother calling you? Master Zhao, you need to step up! Otherwise, I'll have to find someone else."
He said this with a smile but emphasized that we absolutely could not report it. After that, he added, "I'm busy, so I'll be leaving now. You all need to be quick about this, and make sure no one sees what's in the compartment."
Watching Director Ouyang's plump figure leave, I suddenly felt something was off about him. For things to have escalated to this point and still not allow us to report it—he truly had a black heart.
Zhao Fan interrupted my thoughts and said, "If that's the case, then maybe we should just walk away from this business and not make any money."
I was also contemplating that. However, with so many babies dead in the hospital already, if we let this go now, more innocent lives would surely be lost later.
I sighed and said to Zhao Fan, "We need to see this through."
Gao Ling chimed in, "Exactly! Fan Ge, are you really going to back down when there's money to be made?"
After some consideration, Zhao Fan replied, "Gao Ling, Brother Fei, since you both feel this way, then let's go ahead with it."
I lit a cigarette and took a puff while glancing at the black dog again. It was still convulsing, while the other black dog had already vanished.
"Gao Ling said, 'Fei, Gao Qing will be here soon.'
I understood. Half an hour later, Gao Qing arrived, just as efficient and quick as before. Upon arriving, she merely glanced at us without saying a word. She walked straight over to the Black Dog, inspected it for a moment, and then asked, 'Are there any still alive?'
I replied, 'There are still some alive.'
Gao Qing continued, 'This Black Dog has a strong negative energy; the others should be the same.'
Gao Ling remarked, 'That's because there's this in the compartment.' With that, Gao Ling opened the compartment. Gao Qing glanced inside and frowned.
Gao Ling was about to close it, but Gao Qing insisted on keeping it open.
At this time, it was around five in the morning; it wasn't fully light yet. Gao Ling asked why.
Gao Qing explained, 'You still haven't learned. Since these Black Dogs like to eat corpses, they will definitely come back. However, I don't think the place where these Black Dogs are hiding is this compartment.'
Gao Ling's expression changed slightly, but surprisingly did not refute her. I pondered over Gao Qing's words and quickly understood her meaning.
Back in the village, the dogs we raised never needed leashes because no matter how far they ran, they would always return by nightfall.
I asked Gao Qing, 'Are you saying that if we follow these dogs, we can find the murderer?'
Gao Qing nodded. Zhao Fan then exclaimed with admiration, 'Impressive! It's so simple; how did we not think of that!'
I felt the same way; it was so straightforward yet none of us had considered it.
Gao Qing quickly instructed us to spread out. Since there were many cars in the garage, finding hiding spots was quite easy."
After waiting for nearly fifteen minutes, the Black Dog that had run away earlier returned. Gao Ling asked, "What should we do now?"
Gao Qing replied with a single word: "Wait."
So we waited until six in the morning. By then, the Black Dog lying on the ground had regained its senses and got up, starting to crawl into the compartment.
At six-thirty, all the Black Dogs came down and began to run towards a specific direction.
Gao Qing said, "We can follow them now."
We cautiously followed the group of Black Dogs. Their speed wasn't very fast, so we didn't have to rush. Soon, the Black Dogs entered through a side door.
Gao Ling remarked on how there could be a side door in this garage.
After the Black Dogs went in, we closely followed them. We climbed up the stairs and then saw the Black Dogs running into a room.
When we reached the door, I wondered if this was the place. At that moment, I felt a bit nervous.
