Chapter 78 The Mysterious Cao Fengjiao
Her hands were around my neck, and they started to tighten...
I stared with my eyes wide open, my mouth slightly open, and my breathing immediately became difficult.
I wanted to pry her hands apart, but I was afraid that doing so would make her "resurrection" ineffective. After a while, the feeling of suffocation became more and more intense, and I became scared. If she continued to pinch me like this, I might become the second corpse.
However, when I tried to pry her hands apart, I found that she was incredibly strong. She didn't look like a dead person at all, but rather like a strong woman with immense strength.
I tried my best to pry it open, but I just couldn't.
My brain began to lack oxygen, my breathing became weaker and weaker, and death seemed to be approaching me...
"Xiao...Xiaoyan?"
I uttered these words with difficulty.
It’s unbelievable. Why would the “resurrected” Cheng Xiaoyan want to kill me?
Cheng Xiaoyan's eyes were still closed, but the strength in her hands did not weaken at all, but instead continued to increase.
She is determined to strangle me to death!
It's over, it's completely over now...
I felt a wave of despair.
So, I simply gave up resistance and waited for the judgment of death.
"boom--"
Suddenly, there was a loud bang from the door behind him, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps and clattering voices.
I was delighted. Is it Lao He?
It must be Lao He!
I saw a sturdy arm stretched out from the side, placed on Cheng Xiaoyan's head, and pressed lightly.
The force on my neck immediately relaxed.
And Cheng Xiaoyan's hand finally fell.
I covered my neck and breathed in big gulps. I hated that there was not enough air in this basement, otherwise I would have definitely breathed in enough air.
Snapped!
After settling Cheng Xiaoyan, the sturdy arm hardly stopped, drew an arc in the air, and hit me hard in the face.
God knows how powerful that slap was. I fell to the ground like an onion, with stars in front of my eyes. I was not strangled to death by Cheng Xiaoyan, but I was almost killed by this slap.
This Old He, when did he become so irritable?
"Lao He, what are you doing?" I covered my face and said angrily.
"Open your dog eyes and see who I am!"
A rough voice roared.
Only then did I see clearly that the person in front of me was not Lao He, but Cao Fengjiao.
I was shocked.
Why is it Cao Fengjiao?
"You...why are you here?"
I asked in surprise.
No wonder the arms are so thick. In the entire Building D, the only one with such developed arms is the grumpy nurse Cao Fengjiao.
"Why am I here? Haha, if I hadn't followed you, you would have died!" Cao Fengjiao pointed at my head and cursed, "You idiot, you actually brought this thing to Building D. You want to die yourself, but you still want to implicate me?"
Her words left me confused.
What does it mean to implicate her?
What's wrong with me bringing back Cheng Xiaoyan's body?
I felt a little unconvinced, but after all, she was my savior, so I could only keep quiet and let her scold me to her heart's content.
Cao Fengjiao scolded me for a while, but when she saw that I didn't resist, she probably felt it was boring, so she snorted, "Remember this, burn this thing!"
"What was burned?" I asked blankly.
"What do you think? Of course it's this corpse!" Cao Fengjiao said impatiently.
I frowned and said, "It's not up to me to decide whether to burn you or not. It's up to her family members to decide."
"Family member, that crazy old woman?" Cao Fengjiao sneered, "Okay, then you just wait until that crazy old woman comes to find you."
I was shocked and had a vague feeling that she seemed to know something.
When I wanted to ask, Cao Fengjiao had already turned and left.
Taking the elevator back to the first floor of Building D, I hesitated for a moment and asked her, why did you follow in?
She snorted and ignored me.
I asked again, what happened to Cheng Xiaoyan just now? Is she going to be resurrected?
"Resurrection, are you crazy?" Cao Fengjiao sneered, "That's not called resurrection, that's called pretending to be dead."
"Okay, even if it's a fake corpse, her hands loosened when you slapped them just now. Where did you learn this trick?" I couldn't help but ask.
"Do I need to learn this? Every nurse knows it." Cao Fengjiao rolled her eyes at me and said unhappily, "Pretending to be dead is just a trick to fool idiots like you. There are no ghosts or corpses in this world. I tell you, they are all fake!"
Cao Fengjiao said that this is a very normal phenomenon. When someone dies not long ago, some of the most basic body functions can still play overtime with death for a while, sometimes for a few minutes, sometimes for a few hours , and some can even play overtime for a few days or weeks.
For example, some people can still grow hair and nails right after they die. In fact, they are not really growing, but the skin loses moisture and shriveles, giving people an illusion. As for the movement, it goes without saying. The most direct reason is that the nerves command the muscle contraction. Within a short period of time after a person or animal dies, weak electric current stimulation in the nerves can also cause muscle contraction or relaxation, but they are all disordered and unconscious twitches or simple conditioned reflexes.
"Hitting her on the head isn't a very powerful method, but it will make her neural connection resonance lose its effect, so that some of her conditioned reflex behaviors will automatically stop." Cao Fengjiao said incessantly.
I thought to myself that I had really broadened my horizons. This Cao Fengjiao looked like a rough guy, but I didn't expect that she was much more educated than me.
But, I just don’t want to accept this reality in my heart - is Cheng Xiaoyan really gone like this?
If it was a simple nerve reaction, why was her hand so strong?
"I, the old lady surnamed Tian, tell you that you must send her away or burn her before the Ghost Festival. Otherwise, if anything happens, don't blame me for not reminding you."
Cao Fengjiao pointed at me and said sarcastically.
"It's impossible to burn it, because there is someone who will come and take her away. If they find that she is not here, our entire Building D will be in trouble." I said with a wry smile.
Cao Fengjiao's expression changed, then she snorted, turned and left.
Looking at the woman's back, I frowned, always feeling that she was hiding a lot of secrets.
The explanation just now seems reasonable, but in fact it is completely untenable.
Two points. First, I am a member of the regular training team of the sports school, but my strength is not as strong as a corpse? Second, although I didn't study medicine, I know that it is completely nonsense to interrupt the neural resonance by hitting the head.
This Cao Fengjiao, is she hiding something from me?
From a distance, I saw Cao Fengjiao stopped at the fork in the road. She seemed to be looking around, as if waiting for someone.
Soon, a figure in white came up to him.
I looked carefully and saw that it was Vice President Kong.
I remember when Cao Fengjiao first came to Building D, she threatened me, saying that she was a person with connections and that Vice President Kong was her brother-in-law. I thought she was bragging at the time, but now it seems that it is actually true!
The two walked together and talked in low voices, but I couldn't hear anything because they were too far away.
I hurriedly walked out of Building D, deliberately took a detour, sneaked up to them, hid next to a car, and wanted to listen to what they were saying.
Although they were close, their voices were relatively low and I couldn't hear them completely. I could only vaguely hear Vice President Kong begging Cao Fengjiao, saying things like "Can't you just wait a little longer?" , "You've persisted for so long, it would be a shame to give up now?", "Just consider it a pity from me, I'll double the money" and so on.
"It's not about money!" Cao Fengjiao suddenly roared, looking very angry.
Vice President Kong was a little panicked: "You...you should keep your voice down."
"What are you afraid of? You're capable of doing such a thing, so why are you afraid of people knowing?" Cao Fengjiao sneered, "I'm telling you, things are about to get out of control, you'd better be mentally prepared..."
Vice President Kong nodded and bowed, saying, "I know, I know, but..."
"Wait a moment!"
Cao Fengjiao suddenly waved her hands, her eyes turned cold, she turned around abruptly and shouted, "Who's here? Get out!"
