Chapter 26: Demon Possession
My face changed and I wondered if I had heard it wrong.
boom!
Another explosion!
This time I was sure that the sound came from the body cabinet next to me. I was stunned and stood there, not daring to move.
Bang bang bang bang!
The noise became louder and louder, as if something was banging against the cabinet and was about to "escape" at any time.
My heart almost stopped...
What's in the corpse cabinet?
mouse?
No, a mouse couldn't have made that much noise.
Then - there are only corpses.
When I thought of the word 'corpse', the hairs on my body stood on end. I felt like something was strangling my neck, and I was suffocating from the lack of oxygen.
Bang!
There was another crash. I couldn't bear it any longer and sat down on the ground.
The body cabinet was not opened, but the door of the morgue was opened.
A beam of light shone on my dazed face, and I saw Cheng Xiaoyan and an old man rushing in in panic.
"Xiaotian, why are you here?"
The old man stared at me with wide eyes in shock, then looked at the corpse cabinet next to him. He was suddenly filled with shock and anger and yelled at me, "Are you crazy? Why did you come here by yourself?"
"I……"
I had no idea what to say, and suddenly I felt like I had survived a disaster.
"Zhiyong, are you okay..."
Cheng Xiaoyan rushed to me, helped me up from the ground, and asked with concern.
I shook my head, pointed at the corpse cabinet next to me with a pale face, and said in a trembling voice: "Something is moving inside!"
Cheng Xiaoyan was shocked and told me not to talk nonsense.
"Nonsense, there are corpses inside, how could the corpses move?" Master Ma's eyes showed a hint of fear, but he quickly returned to normal and snorted coldly.
"It's true. Just now..."
"Okay, stop talking and get out of here right now! If you don't want to lose your job!"
Master Ma's expression was more serious than ever, and he pointed outside the door and said.
I looked at him deeply.
I always feel that he must know something but is deliberately hiding it.
Cheng Xiaoyan and I walked out of the morgue. The warm air outside made me feel much better as I was shivering from the cold. We were speechless, each with our own thoughts.
"Cheng Yong, you were so scary just now!" Cheng Xiaoyan tugged at the corner of my clothes and said timidly.
I scratched my head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Xiaoyan, I just saw an acquaintance in the morgue. I finally found him, so my attitude towards you was a little..."
"No, that's not what I meant." Cheng Xiaoyan stared at me strangely, "Zhiyong, have you forgotten everything?"
"Forgot...forgot what?"
I was completely confused. Apart from chasing Liu Bin, I didn't think I had done anything out of the ordinary.
"It seems you really have forgotten everything."
Cheng Xiaoyan smiled bitterly and said, "You must be under a lot of pressure recently. Why don't you take a few days off to rest? Your current condition is very problematic."
"No, Xiaoyan, what do you want to say? What's wrong with me?" I frowned, unable to stand her keeping me in suspense.
Cheng Xiaoyan hesitated for a moment and then told me that when I entered the morgue just now, I looked very abnormal. I kept staring at the air in front of me, shouting "Brother Liu" or something like that, waving my hands wildly in the air, walking to the left, then to the right, and finally walked to a wall, talking to myself at the wall, looking impatient, as if I was looking for something.
No matter how she called me and pulled me, I remained indifferent. Finally, I suddenly rushed into the morgue next door. Cheng Xiaoyan hurriedly followed her in, but I pushed her away fiercely. I looked at her with resentment and kept repeating in my mouth: "Kill you! Kill you! Kill you!"
Cheng Xiaoyan was so frightened that she didn't dare to approach me for a long time. She said that she had never seen me look so strange.
Then I turned around, rushed into the morgue, and locked the door.
Not long after, there was a very loud noise coming from inside, with a lot of clanging. She was worried that something had happened to me, so she hurried to find Master Ma and asked Master Ma to open the door of the morgue with the key. Then she saw what had just happened.
After listening to Cheng Xiaoyan's story, I was completely stunned and asked in a trembling voice, "Is... is this true?"
"It's absolutely true." Cheng Xiaoyan nodded.
My mind went blank instantly, and I said at a loss: "But I don't remember pushing you away at all, let alone saying those... those terrible words!"
"...Your expression at that time was like you had become a different person, it was so scary. I even had a feeling that if you took one more step forward, you might kill me!" Cheng Xiaoyan said with a wry smile.
Kill her?
I couldn't even imagine how I could have done such a thing.
The most important thing is that I can't remember anything at all.
"Zhiyong, don't be angry when I tell you something. I suspect... you are being haunted by some dirty thing?" Cheng Xiaoyan said suddenly.
I looked at her in surprise. Dirt?
Yes, ever since I came to Building D, my atheist beliefs have been collapsing bit by bit.
All kinds of strange things and non-existent people came one after another. Sometimes I couldn’t which one was a person and which one was a ghost, which one was real and which one was fake.
I looked at Cheng Xiaoyan and said in a hoarse voice, "Are there really ghosts in this world?"
"some."
Cheng Xiaoyan nodded confidently and said, "I've seen this before... and I've also seen your phenomenon."
I was stunned for a moment and said, "What kind of phenomenon is this?"
"Demon possession!"
Cheng Xiaoyan said with a gloomy face.
