Chapter 041
I was afraid that something might happen to her, so I hurriedly followed her, subconsciously avoiding those figures. Lu Yao saw that I was walking strangely, one step to the left and one step to the right. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you okay? What's wrong with your nerves?"
I ignored her and tried to dodge. But the ghosts were just like they were in the cemetery. As soon as I entered, they started to move, coming towards me one by one, passing through me one after another. When they found that they couldn't touch me, they turned back and continued to pass through.
There were so many of them that I couldn't avoid them. I just felt myself getting colder and colder. I couldn't help but shiver and couldn't help but retract my hands and feet.
Lu Yao’s brows were furrowed more and more, and she looked at me more and more strangely, but she didn’t ask any more questions and just focused on leading the way.
I followed her closely and walked for a while until we came to the door of a room. I looked up at the sign hanging on it, which read "Mortuary". If I wasn't worried about Lu Yao's safety, I really wanted to turn around and leave.
Lu Yao opened the door and was immediately hit by a gust of cold air, which was much colder than outside.
She turned on the light and I took a look inside. I found that this morgue was quite different from what I imagined. There was probably a special refrigeration device inside to prevent the bodies from rotting.
The room was empty, with only a bed in the middle, on which lay a person, his face hidden by a white cloth.
Lu Yao was very courageous, maybe people in this line of work were not afraid of dead people. She walked directly to the corpse and quickly pulled the white cloth away.
I leaned closer to take a look and discovered that the skin of the corpse had completely shriveled up, really like a mummy. The muscles and tendons had completely atrophied, leaving only skin and bones.
I thought to myself that this was a very tragic death, but I didn’t know if it was painful when he died.
The body was still wearing his usual clothes. Lu Yao looked carefully at his head, hands and feet, but didn't find anything suspicious, so he stripped off his clothes.
She had a serious look on her face at first, but unexpectedly she suddenly laughed and said that this man had quite a strong taste.
Before I could react, I saw her pointing at the corpse and saying, "He's still wearing the pendant!"
When I looked down, my body froze!
On the chest of this shrunken corpse, there was my blood amber pendant! I was clearly in the coffin, how did I end up here?
Lu Yao reached out her hand to touch it, but I yelled at her quickly, scaring her so much that she pulled her hand back.
She looked at me strangely and asked, "What's your name? It's so scary!"
I quickly reached out and grabbed the pendant, saying that this thing cannot be touched!
Lu Yao was stunned for a moment and asked, "What are you doing? Put the pendant back. Even if you are short of money now, you can't steal a dead person's things."
I couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook my head for a long time before I said that this was mine.
Lu Yao raised his eyebrows, still with a distrustful expression, and said, "How did your things get into someone else's possession for no reason? Put it back quickly."
As she spoke, she walked over to my side. Because she was not as tall as me, she stood on tiptoe and glared at me, as if she thought that she could make me compromise with just this look.
I said this is really mine, I lost it not long ago, I don't know why it is in this person's possession. Now you don't have to wonder why. I know how he died!
Lu Yao softened a little and said, "Oh? Then tell me, how did he die?"
I said this thing will suck blood. Although I don't know why, anyone who touches it will encounter this situation.
I remembered how Ding Ding looked when he encountered a pool of blood. He said at that time that the amber was biting him, and I also saw with my own eyes that blood was seeping out of his fingers. The man in front of me, probably because he was wearing the amber, even the last trace of blood was sucked out cleanly.
But what makes me wonder is, did this person have no feelings until he died, and he actually kept the blood amber on him and never threw it away?
Lu Yao frowned. Although she didn't express her opinion immediately, I could still see that there was always a look of distrust in her eyes.
I had a headache and thought this woman was really difficult to deal with. I said, although I am poor, I will not steal other people's things. Let's go quickly. I will explain to you after we get out. This person was killed by blood amber, and I don't know if he will become a fierce ghost. I won't be able to save you when the time comes.
While we were talking, the ghosts in the corridor had already entered the house and were circling around me. The breath I exhaled turned into white mist, and I could even see water droplets condensing on my eyelashes.
Lu Yao rolled his eyes and said, "Are you that cold?"
I shivered and said I was so cold, let’s go!
As soon as I finished speaking, I ignored her and turned around to leave, but as soon as I moved, my hand was suddenly grabbed by something. The thing holding me was very hard and there was no flesh at all. I looked down and was shocked. The body on the bed actually moved!
He held my hand holding the blood amber tightly and didn't let go.
I stepped back in fear, Lu Yao quickly pulled me back, standing between me and the corpse, trying to take the withered hand away from my arm. She said it was okay, the person had just died, and it was probably because you touched him, and his nerves were still responding, which was normal. It was enough to scare you laymen, but we have seen a lot in this business.
Having said that, no matter how hard she tried, the withered hand seemed to be welded and she couldn't pry it away from my hand !
I was very anxious, and it felt like I had shit on my hands and no paper to wipe it off. I just watched Lu Yao moving vigorously.
But when I looked up, I suddenly found that the corpse had sat up and was slowly turning its head to look at me!
His movements were very stiff, even less than those of a puppet, but every movement gave people an extremely terrifying feeling.
I was stunned for a moment, then patted Lu Yao's shoulder. She ignored me and said, "Don't rush me, it will be ready soon."
I stared at the corpse on the bed and asked her, is this also a neurological reaction?
What did Lu Yao say?
She looked up at me, saw my expression, and turned back quickly. She was also stunned!
She was between me and the corpse, very close, and then she saw the corpse open its mouth, revealing a row of yellow teeth!
Lu Yao seemed to be unable to react for a moment, and said stiffly, "This should be... called a corpse resurrection !"
I was still watching the corpse's reaction when Lu Yao screamed, "Ah!" and turned around and ran out the door.
I was startled by her reaction and hurriedly followed her to run out the door, but the corpse held my hand tightly and was dragged off the bed by me. With a dull bang, it fell on the cold ground!
But even so, it didn't let go of my hand and I kept dragging it forward.
Lu Yao ran to the door, turned around and saw the corpse I was dragging, his face changed, and he closed the door with his backhand.
I panicked and tried to pull the door hard, but Lu Yao was holding it tightly from outside and I couldn't open it.
I cursed in my heart, this woman, wasn’t she very brave before, but when something happened, she ran faster than a rabbit!
Seeing the corpse slowly crawling up and stretching out a shriveled hand to grab my feet, I immediately kicked it away and looked around the room anxiously. Apart from the simple bed used to hold the corpse, there was really nothing else!
I was afraid that the corpse would crawl up, so I had to run around in circles in the room, dragging it and throwing it against the wall. Although it had become a mummy, its body was still quite strong, and it seemed to feel no pain at all. Every time I threw it against the wall, there was a dull sound, but it never caused any effective damage.
As soon as I relaxed, it would reach out to grab my legs. I was so scared that I didn't dare to stop. I was wondering what was going on. Not only was the house full of ghosts, but I had to drag this half-human, half-ghost thing around among them! From time to time, I would be scared by those ghosts that suddenly pounced on me!
I was holding one hand tightly, and with the other hand I was frantically searching in Ding Ding's bag, trying to see if there was anything useful. But the corpse must have been angry because I threw it, and it immediately increased its grip on my hand, and I felt a sharp pain in my arm. Before I could find something in the bag, the bag in my hand fell down because of the pain.
The corpse grabbed me again, and one of my feet was pinched hard. I could even see my skin and flesh were sunken. The places where my hands and feet were grabbed were bruised, and I fell to the ground in pain.
The corpse climbed up on me desperately. I saw its mouth was wide open, and the tongue inside had become shriveled and bloodless. Only a row of very uneven teeth were protruding. It was whining in its mouth, as if it wanted to swallow me in one bite!
I quickly stretched out my other hand to hold its body. Fortunately, its body was very light. Although it was much stronger than me, I couldn't bite it off at once.
I feel like I'm fighting a ferocious beast. If I'm not careful, I'll be bitten to death by it.
Just then, I suddenly heard Lu Yao's voice coming from outside the house. She shouted anxiously, "Tan Xi, are you still alive?"
I was sweating profusely, and I took a deep breath and said that I wouldn't be happy for long.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I responded, the door of the morgue was kicked open with a bang.
I turned around and saw Lu Yao running in with a fire axe in her hand. She clenched her hands tightly and looked very nervous. She yelled as if to encourage herself and then swung the axe at me.
Seeing her like this, I was very happy and thought I could survive. But I didn't expect that when Lu Yao swung the axe, I closed my eyes in fear, and the axe chopped right down on my head!
I hurriedly twisted my body to the side, barely avoiding her axe. The axe blade hit the ground with a bang, almost glancing at my head!
When Lu Yao heard the sound, he squinted his eyes and asked me if I had hit him!
I was so frightened by her action that my hands went limp. Even if I was going to die, I couldn't die so miserably! I hurriedly shouted, "Open your eyes and chop! Are you in cahoots with this corpse?"
Lu Yao exclaimed "Ah", then slowly opened his eyes, and saw that the corpse had already crawled to my chest. He hurriedly said, "Hide away, I'm going to take action!"
After she finished speaking, she raised the axe again, aimed at the back of the corpse, and was about to attack.
I saw that this was not going to work. If the axe came down, it would kill me as well as the corpse! I screamed in shock and threw the hand that was grabbed by the corpse towards me, saying, "Chop at its hand! Watch carefully!"
Lu Yao said "Oh", perhaps the target was too small, she took aim two or three times before she got ready to take action.
I turned my head away and didn't dare look at her. I felt the same as Jack on the Titanic when he was waiting for his handcuffs to be cut off. When this woman got nervous, even coming to help was scary!
