The blood-sucking "devil" in the taiga

Hassan and Kuro, two interns at the Volgograd Institute of Technology, arrived in the uninhabited northeastern Siberia for an expedition. According to the topographic distribution map along the coast of the Arctic Ocean they carried, the two penetrated deep into a narrow peninsula area. Everywhere here are primitive coniferous trees that cover the sky and the sun, so that the road is rough and difficult. According to the division of labor, Kuro walked in front and used an azimuth meter to explore the way, while Hassan followed to collect various plant and mineral specimens.

　　When the two turned into a valley, Hassan saw several kinds of moss that he had never seen before, and stopped curiously, carefully scraping some with a knife and putting them in his backpack. However, just as he finished all this and was about to get up to chase the impatient Kuro, he heard Kuro make a horrific scream. Hassan hurriedly climbed a high slope to inspect, and an extremely strange scene appeared in front of him: he saw Kuro standing there frozen and motionless, as if he was firmly covered by some invisible net, his hands and feet were wrapped together and could no longer move. Hassan was puzzled, and was about to run over to rescue the other party in panic, but saw Kuro's wide-open and frightened eyes shouting hoarsely: "Hassan, it's too dangerous here, don't come here, run away!"

　　Under Kuro's warning, Hassan did not dare to rush over, standing there dumbfounded and watching the development of things. After Kuro struggled for a few minutes, an even more incredible phenomenon happened! His facial features were extremely distorted, and the muscles all over his body twitched violently, as if half of it had been roasted, and in a moment only a pair of flesh and blood was left. A dry skeleton.

　　"There's a devil!" Hassan, who felt his scalp terrified, shouted in horror, turned and fled. He even felt his footsteps were unusually heavy as he ran, and it seemed that there was an invisible and terrifying force trying to pull him behind his back. In any case, Hassan lost all the heavy things such as his backpack. He escaped alone from this area that seemed to hide the ghost of sucking human flesh and blood.

　　Hassan returned to the Polytechnic Institute and reported the unprovoked death of Kuro in shock. The leaders of the academy were very puzzled by his words, so they handed over the task of investigating the accident to Professor Szell, who had rich experience in exploration. Professor Szell initially learned about some bizarre phenomena in that terrifying peninsula area by questioning Hassan in detail and trying to collect materials in the National Library.

　　In fact, as early as half a century ago, a geological exploration team entered the taiga forest of the peninsula for exploration activities. Unexpectedly, they did not return for a long time, and they disappeared for no apparent reason. Afterwards, the official dispatched helicopters to search, and all they saw were a few skeletons scattered in the dense forest. Due to the complex local geological conditions and extremely harsh living environment, it is impossible for large wild carnivores to appear, so how did the well-supplied and fully armed geological exploration team be wiped out? Why did each of their bodies strangely turn into dry bones in a short period of time? You must know that even if the body is decomposed by bacteria after death, it will take a long period of time near the Arctic Circle in the cold climate!

　　With the above problems in mind, the official sent another team to investigate the truth. As a result, only one strong young man survived, and the rest died in the taiga. The young man who narrowly escaped was so frightened that he had to be admitted to a mental hospital for treatment.

　　Professor Szell does not believe that there are evil man-eating devils in this world. In order to uncover the murder mystery, Professor Szell decided to take the risk to explore. He made full preparations before leaving, not only organized a team of 6 including Hassan, but also specially purchased two healthy reindeer that were alive and kicking to bring with him.

　　When entering the taiga, as a precaution, Professor Szell ordered the two reindeer to be driven into the dense forest with a long rope to lead the way, while everyone deliberately kept a safe distance and followed behind with the other end of the rope. Observe the movement. At first, they didn't see anything unusual happening, and they even suspected that Hassan was exaggerating. Never thought that at this moment, a bizarre and terrifying picture appeared!

　　The two reindeer walking in front suddenly let out a tragic howl, and people were surprised to find that they could not pull the long rope, and the two reindeer seemed to be firmly fixed there as if they had taken root. People looked at Professor Szell in panic, and the professor told everyone not to move blindly, but to watch the development of things carefully in their respective positions. What was even more frightening was that the two reindeer not far away twitched violently as if they had been attached to some kind of magic, and after a while only the dry skin covering the skeleton was left! It took a lot of effort to drag the two almost broken reindeer skeletons back. After peeling off the fur and inspecting it, people couldn't help but be stunned again. In such a short period of time, the flesh and blood of the two reindeer seemed to evaporate into the air quickly and disappeared! Moreover, according to the telescope observation and the scene captured by the camera, there was no scene at the scene. There are no mushy things like flesh and blood left, so where did the flesh and blood "fly" to? Was it really sucked alive by some kind of invisible ghost?

　　 Professor Szell carefully checked the earth's magnetic field detector that was originally strapped to one of the reindeer, and suddenly captured an important information: the magnetic field strength of the place where the bloodshed occurred was hundreds of times higher than that of other parts of the earth! Seeing this, Professor Szell couldn't help but have a flash of inspiration, and then gradually concluded the truth about the killing of those people and animals. In order to prove that his guess was correct, Professor Szell led the team back to the academy and immediately started an experiment. In order to mimic the high-strength magnetic field of the taiga forest, he wound a large number of magnetic coils on a high-voltage electron generator, and after being energized, he kept adjusting it until it was the same as the magnetic force of the taiga forest. Then he drove an antelope into the laboratory. Under the action of the extremely high magnetic force, the antelope made a tragic cry, its body was severely twisted and deformed, and in a short period of time it turned into a mummified corpse that had lost its flesh and blood and only had its fur and skeleton left.

　　Professor Szell told people: The magnetic direction of the earth's magnetic field flows from the north pole to the south pole. Humans have also been able to adapt to the normal earth's magnetic force in the long-term evolution, but the magnetic field strength in some areas of the taiga forest is extremely amazing. Yes, they can quickly remove the water in the cells of the organism in an instant and become an authentic mummy. The reason why plants growing in this place are not afraid of this high-intensity magnetic force is that plants have thick cell walls that can completely shield the influence of magnetic force like lightning rods, while humans and animals do not have thick cell walls like conifers, causing the magnetic force to act directly on the cells and take away the liquid in them.
