Chapter 43: Chapter 34 Sticky Task Four
Chapter 43 -34 Sticky Task Four
All four of them walked into the room where “Stone Brother” was.
At first glance, it was the master bedroom. The walls and windows were covered in slime, and right now, “Stone” was standing by a gap between the double bed and the wall. Because he was obscured by the bed, they couldn’t see what he was looking down at.
So, they walked over.
…
Sure enough, another corpse.
…
It was that little boy. He was still in his school uniform. His body was a bit shriveled, but much better than the one downstairs. Except for a missing eye, everything else was intact, and his skin hadn’t rotted, indicating he hadn’t been dead for long.
Li bent forward and poked the body with his gun.
“Hmm… not stiff yet, died no more than two days ago! Never mind that for now, let’s head to the basement, our target should be there. Let’s finish this job quickly!” he said nonchalantly, then turned to his teammates.
“Huh?” Li was startled because he saw his teammates looking over his shoulder with a mix of surprise and mild disgust in their eyes.
“What the heck?” he thought, looking in the direction everyone was staring.
“Holy shit!” That glance took him by surprise: “What the fuck are you doing down there!”
He yelled, his face showing disgust.
At that moment, Chen Xiao was lying on the bed, gripping the edge of the mattress, stretching his neck to look at the corpse on the floor, oblivious to the sticky fluid all over the bed.
But he didn’t seem to care and looked excited, even sticking his finger into the eye socket where the eyeball was missing.
“Oh? Just looking at the body!” he replied as if it were the most natural thing, and grabbed the collapsed skin on the boy’s stomach over his school uniform, shook it, and then patted the dead body’s head as if he were examining a watermelon at a night market.
Li was stunned—for a split second.
“I fucking know you’re looking at the body, …I…..I was just asking…fuck!” Li, usually a serious person, was so angry he didn’t know what to say. He finally managed to blurt out, “Doesn’t it disgust you, lying on there?”
Chen Xiao was just about done examining (or desecrating) the body, and climbed up, the goo stretching off him like syrup.
“Hmm… it’s a bit uncomfortable stuck to my clothes! But it’s okay, should come off when it dries!” he said, and gave Li an irritated glance as if to say, “It’s you guys’ fault. Such a cramped space, you blocked the view, I couldn’t see anything!”
At that moment, Li seemed to understand what he meant, and roared, “This is a corpse, not a zoo exhibit, can’t he look later!”
The others were shocked, their mouths slightly agape. This kid had actually managed to get Li to start ranting!
Seeing Li on the verge of exploding, Chen Xiao quickly made a “shush” gesture. And signaled, “Don’t shout, don’t shout, there’s a monster in the basement—”
Li struggled to suppress his rage.
“Let’s go, let’s finish this mission quickly. Just seeing him pisses me off!”
Saying that, he pushed through the crowd and walked towards the outside of the room.

“No wounds…”
Just as Li was about to step outside, Chen Xiao muttered.
“Huh?” Li stopped in his tracks.
“What did you say?” Li turned to ask.
While scraping off chunks of goo from himself, Chen Xiao said, “His internal organs have been mostly eaten… where’s the wound then?”
“…”
With these words, everyone else also suddenly realized something was wrong. They weren’t fools; they had just been startled by Chen Xiao earlier and hadn’t noticed this detail. Now, they quickly caught on.
Yeah, where was the wound?
“The mouthpiece must have poked in through this eye socket, right?” Rat suggested, but then looked at the mushy, broken eyeball next to the body and immediately dismissed his thought: “That’s not right, the eyeball is outside!”
Chen Xiao scraped almost all the goo from his clothes and started picking off the remnants with his fingers.
“Who called the police?” he asked without looking up.
Li was taken aback, “The police?”
Chen Xiao, hands covered in slime, found a relatively clean spot on the wall and started wiping his hands on it.
“Don’t you guys read the mission briefing? Didn’t it say, someone reported this morning, that’s what drew the Foundation’s attention?”
Li nodded vaguely, remembering he’d seen that line in the mission briefing, but it seemed so irrelevant at the time.
The mouse beside him also wore a puzzled face, “What does that have to do with anything?” he asked.
Chen Xiao, having nearly wiped off all the viscous fluid from his hands by now, began buttoning up his clothes again and with a somewhat surprised expression, he looked at him and said, “Of course it matters.”
Captain Li frowned, from the start, this stinker named Chen Xiao had been inexplicably stirring everyone’s thoughts.
He stared at Chen Xiao, still full of confusion, but eventually pulled out his phone and tapped it a few times on the screen.
…
…
“Hello, who called in the report this morning?” he directly asked. By the tone of it, the person on the other end was likely the police captain who had given him his badge.
Since the black phone was custom-made, the others couldn’t hear what the person on the other end was saying.
“Alright… send me the recording!” he said then hung up the phone.
It only took a few seconds before Captain Li said, “It’s here!”
At the same time, he played the recording of the emergency call out loud.
————————————————
Operator: “Hello, K City East District Police Station.”
Voice: “I’m reporting a murder! (The voice sounded like a child’s, but not very panicked.)”
Operator: “Uh…”
Voice: “This isn’t a prank, my parents are dead… come quick… save me.”
Operator: “Okay, may I ask… (somewhat flustered)”
Voice: “I’m at No. 39, East Villa District of K City.”
Operator: “So, you…”
Beep… beep… beep…
The call was disconnected.
—————————————————
After listening to this very brief recording, everyone wore an expression of bewilderment and disbelief.
“You’re joking! Was it this kid who called the police?” Mouse looked at the body on the ground as he spoke.
Which means, this child had called the police this morning from this place reeking of rotting bodies and viscous fluid with such a calm tone, asking for someone to come save him, and by the time we were on our way, he had been sucked dry by a ‘giant mosquito’?
Having listened to the emergency recording, Chen Xiao stopped picking at the goo on his body and fixed his gaze on “Stone” standing beside him.
“No mouthparts for extracting organs, no ‘giant mosquitoes’,” he said lightly, “that thing was actually… always inside them.”
…
…
Captain Li still couldn’t quite understand, but when he heard Chen Xiao utter “inside someone’s body,” he immediately raised his gun.
The others also raised their guns, aiming at the body.
“What’s going on? Is that thing inside the body?” Captain Li asked uncertainly, his expression very serious, ready to shoot without hesitation at the slightest sign of anything unusual from the corpse.
But Chen Xiao didn’t answer his question, instead, he slowly and leisurely pulled out a gun from behind his waist.
But the gun was not aimed at the body.
Instead, it was aimed at “Stone” standing beside him.
Everyone was shocked!!!
“Hey! Put down the gun!” Mouse immediately swung his dual guns to point at Chen Xiao.
Captain Li also quickly aimed his gun at Chen Xiao, silent and intently staring at his trigger finger, his pupils subtly flickering with a white light.
The man who seldom spoke held his gun in one hand while raising the other, gloved hand slightly open, pointing towards Chen Xiao.
“Put down the gun!” Captain Li said softly, his tone chillingly calm.
Under the aim of these dark muzzles, Chen Xiao was nonchalant, acting as if nothing was wrong. He habitually smirked and rubbed his fluid-covered fingers against a cleaner part of his trousers. He then used his distinctively sharp voice to address “Stone.”
“How about… singing a song with me…?”
