Chapter 83: Desperate Old He
The sound was intermittent, like a mouse gnawing on something, and my scalp couldn't help but feel numb. But thinking that Cheng Xiaoyan would not harm me, I walked over quietly.
The freezer was too dark and I couldn't see anything clearly. I could only vaguely see a figure lying on the ground, squirming constantly. I had no idea what it was doing.
Is it Cheng Xiaoyan?
My breathing became rapid and my heart almost beat out of my chest.
Take out your phone, turn on the flashlight, and shine it towards the source of the sound...
When I saw this photo, I felt like I was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze for a moment.
The person lying on the ground was not Cheng Xiaoyan at all!
Instead, he was an old man with white hair, a skinny body, and wearing a hospital gown.
"Old He?"
I immediately recognized the figure and screamed in surprise.
Old He shuddered, turned around, and found that it was me, and suddenly became panicked.
Only then did I realize that next to Lao He was Cheng Xiaoyan's body, lying there quietly. Her eyes were closed, and her delicate facial features looked peaceful and calm, as if she was asleep.
But what made me extremely angry was that two buttons on her clothes were undone!
There was a white patch inside, and two bloody holes were clearly visible on the white neck!
"Lao He, what...what did you do to her?" My voice trembled with anger.
Lao He looked at me blankly and stammered, "I, I didn't do anything, I just--"
Before he could finish, I rushed forward, grabbed Lao He by the collar, raised my fist, and was about to hit him.
But my fist stopped abruptly in mid-air.
Because I saw a trace of blood flowing down the edge of Lao He's lips...
Thinking of the two bloody holes on Cheng Xiaoyan's neck, a terrible idea came to mind...
"Lao He, you...are you eating Cheng Xiaoyan's corpse?" I looked at him in disbelief and said.
Lao He lowered his head, trembling as he said, "No, I didn't. I just... just wanted some of her blood."
"What do you want her blood for?" I sneered and said , "Don't tell me you have become a vampire now?"
"That's about the same." Lao He said with a wry smile.
boom!
I couldn't bear it anymore and punched Lao He in the face.
He fell to the ground, but there was no sign of pain on his face.
During this period of time, I have always treated Lao He as a friend regardless of age difference, but I never expected... I never expected that he would actually do such a thing to Cheng Xiaoyan!
Moreover, it happened after Cheng Xiaoyan died!
The anger in his heart almost set the ice cellar on fire!
I believe that if I had a knife in my hand at this moment, I might have stabbed Lao He!
I walked up to Cheng Xiaoyan and checked her carefully. I found that except for two teeth marks on her neck, there was basically no harm anywhere else on her. Her pants and other items were also intact and there was no sign of them having been taken off.
I picked her up and put her carefully into the freezer. I turned around and saw that Lao He had stood up and was looking at me expressionlessly.
"Be prepared to be sued!" I said coldly.
Lao He smiled.
It was a helpless smile.
We walked out of the elevator one after another.
During the process, no one spoke.
Back on the first floor, I took out my cell phone but hesitated whether to call the police.
Although Lao He's behavior was excessive, after all, he had saved me before.
No matter what, apart from being bitten on the neck, Cheng Xiaoyan didn't seem to have been touched anywhere else. If this phone call came, Lao He's life would probably be ruined.
"Fight, I'm tired of living anyway, it's not bad to change places..." Lao He said with a smile: "It's just walking from one cage to another..."
I looked at him angrily and said, "Why? Why did you do this to Xiaoyan?"
"Because I have no choice." Lao He said lightly.
"What do you mean you have no choice?" I grabbed Lao He by the collar and said angrily, "Cheng Xiaoyan is already dead! How could you do this to a dead person?"
"What the hell are you still saying!?"
Lao He suddenly pried my hands apart and pushed me away with force. Veins popped out on his face and he shouted hoarsely, "If it wasn't for saving you, would I be like this now?"
I was stunned.
help me?
"In order to save you, I was bitten by that old monster - I thought everything would be fine, but it's useless! It's useless at all!" Lao He covered his face in despair and cried loudly: "I used so much glutinous rice, but the corpse poison not only did not get rid of it, but it is getting worse!"
"Hehe, it's so sad and desolate that a man like me, a great man, has fallen to this state in my old age."
"Cao Fengjiao is right. I am crazy! I am crazy and I bite people!"
"In the later stages, I will completely lose myself and turn into a mad monster that bites everyone I see!"
"That's right, just like Cheng Xiaoyan's grandmother, she became neither human nor ghost!"
"And all this is because of you - because of saving you, I became like this!"
Old He became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes revealing endless despair and fear.
Hearing these words, I was stunned...
it is as expected……
It turns out that Lao He’s illness was caused by being bitten by Cheng Xiaoyan’s grandmother…
No wonder Lao He’s behavior became stranger and stranger after that day.
No wonder he often makes wild animal noises coming from his throat.
No wonder he is afraid of the sun...
Now everything has an explanation.
Yes, he is right. If he hadn’t saved me, how could he have become like this?
I looked at the crazy Lao He, feeling an indescribable guilt in my heart. I asked him, why did you bite Cheng Xiaoyan's body? And why did you suck her blood?
Lao He slumped on the ground and laughed miserably, "My master told me that corpses in this world are also divided into different levels. For the lowest level corpses, you don't even need glutinous rice, as you can rely on your body's immunity to dispel the corpse poison. For slightly stronger corpses, you need glutinous rice, and for even stronger corpses, glutinous rice may not be useful."
"Obviously, Cheng Xiaoyan's grandmother is a very powerful corpse. In this case, only by drinking the mother corpse's blood can we fight poison with poison and eliminate the corpse poison..."
I was extremely surprised. I didn't expect such a thing to happen. I asked hurriedly, "Then... have you cured your corpse poison?"
Lao He did not answer my question. Instead, he raised his head and looked at me coldly.
The vertical pupils were like those of a poisonous snake.
Vicious and cruel!
Apparently, this was his answer...
