Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter-Chapter 660 - 324: The Husband with Split Personality_2

More than a decade ago, a young couple visited the natural mountain area near Jiangzhou City. At that time, it was a residential scenic area, but since there was no designated protection zone, anyone could enter the mountains freely.

Later, the wife of the couple did not come out; her cause of death was unknown, as her body was never found.

But the husband came out, lost and broken.

He was like a madman, seeking help everywhere and often making scenes, asking to publish missing person notices in TV stations and newspapers.

Clearly, he seemed mentally unstable at the time.

Then, this man disappeared...

From that year onwards, the term "corpse hunter" began to circulate.

Later, a nature reserve was established, and to maintain the ecology, the surrounding residents were reorganized, making this mountain area mysterious and tranquil.

Qu Ruobo had finished speaking as quickly as possible, and Luo Fei heard him clearly.

Just now, while looking for someone, this guy maintained a safe distance from me. The bird gun in his hand looked useless like a fire poker, but it actually served as a warning.

If I wasn't cautious, I could be ambushed by him.

Fortunately, everything was under my control, and I didn't give the opponent any opportunity.

Now the distance between the two of us remains within the most suitable range.

"Ai Jinghua!"

After much hesitation, Luo Fei knew he couldn't delay anymore. He could only startle the snake with a strike and take a risky move.

Finally, these three words blurted out.

These were the name of the person involved in the missing case from over ten years ago. As the only survivor, there were records in the historical data.

The murderer standing opposite first froze and then looked at Luo Fei with a face full of confusion.

For a moment, the smile on his face solidified.

Originally malicious, his expression suddenly became serious, although it was hard to see clearly in the darkness.

Luo Fei took a deep breath and spoke again.

"Ai Jinghua, I know it's you. The man who lost his wife over ten years ago, the walking dead who came out of the mountain alone and fell into endless pain, it's you, right...?"

The atmosphere between them began to become increasingly subtle.

Seeing Luo Fei staring at him so firmly, the mysterious killer seemed a bit more normal at this moment, and the light in his eyes became somewhat calm, but he still held the bird gun steady.

"Ai Jinghua? He died. He and my wife died together. They're in the mountains, right around us."

With just a few words, things became incredibly chaotic. Luo Fei could hear the confusion and madness in the other's thoughts.

"Ai Jinghua, everything you're doing here is just to avenge yourself back then."

"It wasn't anyone else who killed your wife. Why are you doing this?"

At this point, Luo Fei didn't expect the other to answer this question. All of it was just to distract him so he would reveal where the remaining five were hidden.

In Ai Jinghua's eyes, these hikers were all prey. Some were captured; some were already tortured to death...

Therefore, only through him can the people be rescued.

God knows how long this guy has been in the mountains. Perhaps all these years, he has been wandering here, tortured by the grief of losing his wife, unable to let go, and instead becoming progressively worse, developing a split personality.

Split personality?

In this brief second, Luo Fei thought a lot. If his prediction was correct, then all of this was the other's delusion.

Since his wife's death, he has been abnormal.

Ai Jinghua's life was split into two parts since that time.

One part was his outwardly living identity, his normal self, while the other part was his closed and confined soul, the mountain that he could never leave.

"The reason you abuse these young people who went missing in the mountains is to fill the pain caused by your wife's death. If I'm correct, it was you who killed your wife back then."

As soon as he said this, Ai Jinghua, who was still holding on, fell to his knees with a thud, trembling all over, his eyes increasingly confused and terrified.

"No, I didn't mean to kill her."

"I love her. I only love her, but those Mountain Badgers, those beasts harmed her. I couldn't let her go on like this—all the blood, all that blood—I couldn't watch her suffer anymore!"

"I couldn't!"

At this moment, Ai Jinghua seemed to return to the day of his wife's death.

Luo Fei found the truth from his few words.

Although it's hard to believe, the fact is basically like this.

Ai Jinghua and his wife went deep into the mountains for fun. After the accident, he got separated from his wife, but when he found her, she was already dying, persecuted by Mountain Badgers.

The fate of his wife drove him to the brink of collapse. He couldn't bear to see her walk out of the mountains like this, so he personally took action to end her.

From that moment on, Ai Jinghua's true personality split.

In later years, he warned outsiders in a normal appearance, spreading rumors everywhere, saying that there were corpse hunters in these mountains, specifically capturing those killed by Mountain Badgers, then torturing them...

In fact, he was talking about himself!

Because his past actions became the haunting nightmare of his second persona, he kept wandering around here, guarding the mountains, guarding the final resting place of his wife.

When these thirty-odd hikers entered here, he might have been provoked, or maybe his second persona was awakened.

Ai Jinghua started killing!

Because his wife died here, he wouldn't allow anyone to leave alive—shooting, releasing Mountain Badgers to torture—all these methods were for revenge.

In other words, he was avenging his former self's lack of action.

"In this case, I'm taking the people."

"They are innocent. I'm going to take them away."

Luo Fei spoke to him from a commanding position, his expression calm; he was already prepared, waiting for this moment.

Actually, he didn't know where the remaining five people were, but the other did, which was enough!

Sure enough, Ai Jinghua broke down.

"No, you can't!"

Then he sprinted wildly, rushing backward, and Luo Fei quickly followed. They ran for about ten minutes.

For years, Ai Jinghua's life in the mountains was unimaginable, but undeniably, he was very strong now. He had mastered the deep forest as his main ground, which gave him an advantage.

Perhaps no one else could deal with this guy, but Luo Fei was absolutely confident.

Soon, they reached a cave entrance.

Ai Jinghua picked up the bird gun and was about to run inside, looking urgent.

Luo Fei already guessed that it was where the hostages were because he smelled blood, fresh blood.

The scent was particularly clear in the late night breeze...

Just as Ai Jinghua rushed into the cave, Luo Fei dashed over, first sweeping hard with a leg to knock him down, and then pinned him with a single hand.

"Is anyone there?"

"Is anyone inside? Answer me!"

The cave was surrounded by sharp rocks, and covered by fallen grass and leaves from above, the blackened interior space felt very strange.

"Help—"

The cry shattered the black scene inside the cave.

Luo Fei heard the long-awaited human voice, the shouts of the hikers; they were trapped here as expected.

But followed immediately by whining sounds from Mountain Badgers, repeatedly continuous, with a sharp sound underneath the grinding teeth.

Especially when all the sounds intertwined... Luo Fei completely understood.

There was a large number of Mountain Badgers nesting around, which was the biggest trap.

Cowering on the ground, Ai Jinghua suddenly burst into wild laughter, tears filled his eyes, and his voice was full of sadness and madness.

Luo Fei couldn't care about much else. First, he handcuffed Ai Jinghua, and then got up to check the situation.

Everything was too late. Although he was outside the cave, the pairs of eyes lighting up gradually in the dark corners around him indicated danger had already arrived.
