Chapter 724: The Legend of the Headless Demon
After finishing his shower, Jiang Ran felt completely refreshed.Even though it was very cold outside the hotel, since Germany was in the middle of winter, inside his hotel room, Jiang Ran only needed to wear a pair of underwear plus thermal long underwear to lounge around comfortably as much as he wanted.
The way German hotels and inns handled winter heating was quite different from hotels in Hua Country. In Hua Country, hotels and inns almost always had air conditioning, which they used for heating. But here in Germany, they almost all used radiators or underfloor heating. For example, the hotel Jiang Ran was staying in used underfloor heating.
After showering, he used the hairdryer provided in the room to dry his hair. He checked the time—it was already past eight in the evening. Tired and wanting to sleep, Jiang Ran wasn't very hungry either. So he simply lay down on his bed, pulled the covers over himself, rested his head on the pillow, and started to fall asleep.
*Special Live Stream, live stream room.*
Now, the main camera in the live stream room was focused entirely on Jiang Ran and the white man named Derby, who was in his thirties and sharing the same room with him. The reason was simple: Jiang Ran was the first among the ten lab rats to encounter a deranged criminal and deranged serial killer living in Aisen Town—the unlucky kid.
A-—American Captain: [What's going on? Doesn't the Special Live Stream room provide detailed information on the lab rats and deranged criminals anymore?]
This American, whose username on the Black Software was American Captain, had originally wanted to check the information on this Hua Country person named Jiang Ran. But he discovered that the live stream room no longer had that function. With his comment, people from various countries in the live stream room were also surprised to find that the function had indeed disappeared.
*Far Neighbor live stream game, America.*
At this moment, several live stream rooms were running simultaneously. There was one for the American Alice Apartment, plus the one Jiang Ran was in, making a total of four Special Live Stream rooms. The regular live stream for the American Alice Apartment still allowed viewers to freely check the information provided in the room, but the Special Live Stream rooms no longer had that feature.
[Could this be a bug? That's why we can't see it?]
Since many people were reacting, the live stream room split in two and returned to the studio. The American beauty hostess explained, "Everyone, don't worry. This isn't a bug; it's a special setting of the Black Software. From now on, all Special Live Stream rooms will cancel the feature of providing information on lab rats and deranged criminals. This is done to preserve everyone's curiosity and prevent the feeling of being spoiled before watching the live stream."
A person from Maple Country: [If they keep doing this from now on, I'll be completely confused after watching.]
Maple-—White Supremacy: [You can look up information yourself, or check the info others have left in the chat section. See, someone has already left information on Jiang Ran and that guy named Derby, right?]
The information on Jiang Ran was left by the Domineering Female CEO, very brief—just one sentence: [Jiang Ran, a man with severe dissociative identity disorder. A man capable of wiping out all deranged criminals and deranged serial killers.]
As for the information on the UK man named Derby, it was left by another UK person and was quite detailed.
[Derby, UK deranged serial killer.]
[Number of victims: over 15, all male.]
[Common identity of victims: Most were either vagrants, unemployed drifters, customers of gay bars, or male prostitutes.]
[This person is different from many other serial killers.]
[Many other serial killers show differences from ordinary children from a young age, with the biggest trait being a fondness for torturing stray cats, dogs, and small animals. They have a cruel heart.]
[But this UK man named Derby is not like that. From childhood to now, he has never tortured stray cats, dogs, or small animals, nor does he have any other extreme or excessive behaviors.]
[Yet, despite being such a seemingly normal person without the typical serial killer traits like torturing animals or setting fires, he is still an extremely dangerous serial killer.]
(A note: This is all one statement, segmented for easier reading. In the future, no special marking will be added for such segmentation.)
A person from Maple Country: [Since this guy Derby's victims are all male, it proves he must be a homosexual, right? If he weren't a homosexual, the victims would all be women.]
Due to the one-hour speaking ban, another UK person replied.
[Yes, he's a homosexual. And this guy is also a necrophile.]
[After killing a victim, he would often shower and bathe with the corpse, then engage in sexual acts with it and play with the body. He could basically hide it in his own home for a long time and use it for a long while.]
[I think there are many serial killers in this world who have committed numerous crimes but haven't been caught.]
[Take Derby, for example. If he hadn't moved from his own small villa to an apartment and then needed to dispose of a body by flushing body fragments down the drain, causing a clog, the neighbors and the workers who came to fix the pipe wouldn't have discovered it, leading to his arrest.]
A person from France: [So what's this guy's deal now? Don't all these sick perverts in Aisen Town eventually disguise their victims as some kind of supernatural or paranormal incident?]
Another UK person familiar with Derby replied.
[As for Derby, he always uses rope-like items such as neckties to strangle men to death. After strangling them, he plays with the body until he's satisfied.]
[Then he uses a sharp tool like an axe to chop off the victim's head. After chopping it off, he places the headless corpse on the bed, roughly flat. Then he makes the corpse hold its separated head with both hands, positioning the head on the stomach.]
[This corresponds to an ancient German legend about the Headless Demon, which says the Headless Demon will chop off the heads of those who are unfaithful or disloyal in love, as punishment.]
A person from Nigeria spoke: [The Headless Demon? I think I've heard that legend too. It's said that in ancient Germany, there was a farmer who was very much in love with his wife. But because the wife was beautiful, she was coveted by the local lord, who forcibly took her.]
[The farmer went through countless hardships to finally reunite with his wife. The two agreed to meet and escape together when the lord was least vigilant and most relaxed.]
[On a dark and windy night, the farmer and his wife agreed to meet at the west gate of the castle and flee together from there. However, when the farmer arrived at the west gate of the castle, he was greeted not only by his wife but also by the lord and many of the lord's soldiers.]
[It turned out that after the wife was forcibly taken by the lord, she initially did hate him. But later, after she enjoyed the wealthy life in the castle, she gradually became lost in this decadent and luxurious lifestyle and no longer wanted to return to her former life.]
[Therefore, she naturally told the lord about the farmer's escape plan. When the lord learned of it, he decided to turn the tables on the farmer. The farmer was thus captured. After being caught, the lord originally only planned to imprison the farmer in the dungeon until he died. However, the farmer's wife was exceptionally cruel; she demanded that the lord behead the farmer, and the lord complied.]
