Chapter 99: Strange Impulse
Sun Ao said that he was so frightened that he nearly fainted. He didn't know where he got the strength to run all the way down the mountain. He was even hospitalized due to excessive shock.
During this period, Cheng Xiaoyan came to the hospital to see him, but he drove her away like a madman and called her a monster in front of the doctors and nurses!
After being discharged from the hospital, Sun Ao called the police and told the patrolmen that Cheng Xiaoyan had the virus and was a zombie from the Resident Evil series. The patrolmen naturally didn't believe him, but they still asked Cheng Xiaoyan to cooperate and open her mouth to see.
Needless to say, the two fangs were not seen.
Generally speaking, when things get to this point, the relationship between the two will inevitably be strained - Sun Ao naturally proposed to break up, but Cheng Xiaoyan disagreed, saying that what you saw was just an illusion, and I am just an ordinary normal person.
Sun Ao asked her, what about the hare?
Cheng Xiaoyan hesitated and said that the wild rabbit had been released.
Sun Ao sneered and said nothing, but he didn't mention breaking up either.
A few days later, Sun Ao got together with a girl from school, and Cheng Xiaoyan witnessed them checking into a hotel.
She begged desperately, hoping to get back together, but Sun Ao would never agree, saying that what happened that day, whether it was an illusion or not, had left him with a huge psychological trauma, and it would be impossible for them to get back together in the future.
At this point, Sun Ao gave me a bitter smile: "Brother, you see... this is what happened. In fact, I don't know whether what I saw that day was true or not, but if it were you, you would definitely not dare to continue this relationship, right?"
I shook my head, thinking that my experience was a hundred times more horrible than yours, but when it comes to emotions, I will never just let go of them like that - after all, you are just too cowardly.
I said to Sun Ao: "Well, what you saw must be an illusion."
"Huh, I think it's an illusion too... How could a normal person suck the blood of a rabbit? This isn't a zombie movie." Sun Ao breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, I said this just to leave a last beautiful illusion of Cheng Xiaoyan in Sun Ao's heart.
That's all.
"Brother Tian, the security guards are here, run away!" Ma Qiang ran over and said anxiously.
I nodded, let Sun Ao go, took one last look at him, and said, "See you later."
Then, he escaped through the back door with Ma Qiang.
…
After leaving school, Ma Qiang asked me whether what Sun Ao said was true.
It doesn’t matter whether what I said is true or not. What matters is that he will have nothing to do with Cheng Xiaoyan anymore.
Ma Qiang nodded without saying anything, with a look of regret on his face.
After walking for a while, Ma Qiang asked me, where are we going next?
I said, "Aren't you going to look for your grandma? Go find your grandma first."
Ma Qiang said there was no rush and that it was more important to finish my business first. Then he asked me, "Brother Tian, who are you going to find? What are you going to do specifically?"
At this point, I didn’t want to hide it from Ma Qiang anymore, so I said, “It’s a long story, and you may not believe it.”
"Of course I believe it. Brother Tian, don't forget that I am the grandson of a witch. I'm used to all these weird things." Ma Qiang said with a smile.
I thought that was true, and said, "Let's find a restaurant first and talk while eating."
"okay!"
We found a simple restaurant and ordered three dishes and a soup. While waiting for the food, I simplified my experience in Building D and told Ma Qiang about it.
I have to say, as expected of the grandson of a witch, his ability to accept things is stronger than that of ordinary people. After hearing about my so many incredible experiences, Ma Qiang only showed a bit of astonishment. If it were someone else, he would have pointed at my head and called me a lunatic.
"Brother Tian, I feel like you are just a tool." Ma Qiang said.
I asked in confusion: "What tool man?"
"Nothing... nothing." Ma Qiang chuckled.
I snorted, feeling that this was not a good thing to say.
"Brother Tian, look at you. Since you came to Building D, you seem to be trapped in a web woven by others. No matter how hard you try, you can't get out. Although it seems that you are struggling, in fact, you are still in this web."
"Take Sun Jie, that bitch. She must have some conspiracy against you. And Cao Fengjiao. This fat bitch seems to have saved you a few times, but who knows what she is hiding?"
"The last one was the ghost soldiers passing through the border on the night of the Ghost Festival. My grandmother said that there are generally two reasons why the ghost soldiers pass through the border. One is that there are extremely evil people nearby; the other is that there are people whose life span has run out and who should have died, but did not die due to many reasons."
Ma Qiang took a sip of the hot water on the table and said, "In a word, it's just one word - evil."
I frowned when I heard this. I could understand the first reason, but what did the second one mean? What did it mean that a person whose life span had run out should have died but didn't?
"This is hard to explain..." Ma Qiang shook his head.
An idea suddenly occurred to me, and I said, "Could it be zombies? Aren't zombies people who deserve to die but haven't died yet?"
"No, no, no, it's definitely not a zombie." Ma Qiang waved his hands.
I asked him why he was so sure?
Ma Qiang said: "Zombies do not belong to the six realms and are not under the jurisdiction of the underworld soldiers, so they are definitely not zombies."
I nodded, thinking that I had really learned something new.
"Brother Tian, I'm afraid you're in danger when you go find that old monster this time." Ma Qiang looked at me uneasily and said, "My grandmother said that the yellow-eyed zombie is very powerful and even sticky rice and talismans can't cure it. How are we going to deal with it when we get there?"
I sighed and said that this was exactly what I was worried about - mainly, I had no other choice but to die rather than become a monster.
"Qiangzi, remember this, after you go back to your grandma, don't follow me." I said to Ma Qiang.
Ma Qiang slammed the table and said angrily: "Brother Tian, what are you talking about? We are friends in need. If I, Ma Qiang, just abandon you like this, what's the difference between me and a villain?"
I shook my head and said, "This is not a question of friends in need or villains. You should know that my trip to find the old monster was a life-or-death experience. The most important thing is, I have no idea how to deal with her or draw blood from her."
"You have no way, but my grandma might have a way... So, Brother Tian, you should come with me to find her first. I will try to ask her if she can leave the village and help you capture this old witch." Ma Qiang said seriously.
I thought that if Ma Qiang’s grandmother could help, I wouldn’t have to be so confused like a headless fly.
I was very grateful to him at that moment.
Ma Qiang waved his hands and said, what is the relationship between us, so let's not be so polite.
Soon, the dishes came up and Ma Qiang said to eat quickly and then take a bus to find her grandmother.
I looked at the three dishes and one soup on the table. Each dish had a distinct color and looked rich.
Fish-flavored shredded pork, sweet and sour spare ribs, twice-cooked beef, and a big bowl of three-fresh meat soup.
I've been hungry for the whole morning, so I should have eaten a lot, but strangely, I had no appetite at all.
"Brother Tian, why don't you eat? Eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold." Ma Qiang said incoherently with oil dripping from his mouth.
I picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of beef and put it in my mouth.
An indescribable strange taste permeates the tip of the tongue.
"Is the beef bad this time?" I said.
"No way! I came here last time and the beef was really fresh and tasted great!" Ma Qiang picked up a few pieces with chopsticks and put them in his mouth to chew.
I ate some shredded pork with fish flavor again, and this time it not only tasted like wax, but also made me feel strongly nauseous.
"puff!"
I spat out the shredded pork with fish flavor and frowned.
"Brother Tian, do you have no appetite? Would you like to have some soup?" Ma Qiang looked at me strangely and said.
"Um."
I poured half a bowl of three-fresh soup, picked it up, and took a small sip.
After taking this sip, I felt my stomach churning, as if I was drinking sulfuric acid instead of three-fresh soup...
I turned around and started to dry heave on the ground.
Ma Qiang realized something was wrong, came over, patted me on the back, and asked me if I wanted to go to the pharmacy.
I waved my hands and said it was okay.
When I turned around, I suddenly found that the world in front of me had turned blood red.
The sun, houses, streets, vehicles, crowds, and Ma Qiang beside him, all turned blood red!
It was as if they had rolled in a pool of blood...
I widened my eyes and was so shocked that I couldn't speak for a long time.
"Brother Tian, are you okay?" Ma Qiang pushed me.
I blinked and the world returned to normal.
what happened?
Why did this happen just now?
Am I too tired?
"Don't worry, Boss. The local chickens here are all freshly killed and very fresh!"
At this time, I saw a chef next to him, holding a rooster in his hand, and speaking to a customer with a smile.
As he spoke, he plucked some of the hair from the chicken's neck, and then used a knife to cut the blood vessels directly.
The rooster struggled for a bit and then stopped moving. Bright red blood flowed from its neck.
The customer was very satisfied and asked me to use this chicken to make the chicken hotpot I would eat later.
The chef smiled and said, that's for sure.
I shuddered and didn't know what was going on. Looking at the blood on the chicken, my tongue couldn't help but lick it.
In my heart, a strange restlessness arises spontaneously...
It was as if this chicken had become the most delicious delicacy in the world...
I stood up, my eyes dull, and walked slowly towards the chicken.
Getting closer!
Closer!
I can almost hear my own heart beating like crazy!
Ma Qiang was calling me, but I couldn't hear him. I just walked up to the chef in a daze, staring at the dead chicken that was still dripping blood with burning eyes.
"Sir, is there anything I can do for you?" The chef said with a smile as he saw me walking over.
"chicken……"
"I want chicken..."
The chef was stunned for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, sir, this chicken is for other guests. If you want to eat it, I will kill another one for you."
"Give it to me! Give it to me!"
I suddenly yelled like crazy, rushed over, pushed the chef down, and snatched the chicken from him.
The guests around me all looked at me strangely.
Looking at the blood on the chicken's neck, my throat gurgled and I swallowed hard.
Then, he opened his mouth and bit it...
