It was another day of freezing rain and the weather was even colder. It's the kind of clammy cold, cold water vapor that burrows into the body like maggots on the tarsal bones. No matter what clothes you wear, you can't resist it, and your hands and feet have never been warm. The red-shoeed female ghost didn't bother Zitong again, as if she had disappeared after that day. Zitong was a little worried about her, and secretly laughed that she was too sensitive, and she was worried about ghosts.

When I went to "Yan Shan" at night, I found that General Tie locked the door, but "Yan Shan" did not open. This is really unusual, working here for so long is the first time I have met "Yan Shan" who does not do business.

I called Lei at the commissary, but no one answered, so I called Xiaohui again.

"The coffee shop didn't open during the day today, and the owner didn't inform us. Leave it alone, it's not our responsibility anyway. Xiao Hui said.

Putting down the phone, Zitong felt uneasy in her heart, and had a faint premonition that something might have happened to Lei.

Although she didn't like Ray like all the employees, she couldn't leave him alone. But she only knew that he lived nearby, but she didn't know where he lived. Just as he was about to make another call to Xiaohui, he caught a glimpse of a figure standing across the street.

Standing under a dimly lit street lamp, there is no shadow under your feet. But her appearance was clearly illuminated by the light, and crimson blood covered her Xiuzhen's cheeks and sad eyes. The long white dress was full of blood flowers, and the leather shoes on her feet were bright red. The body is as thin as a slender willow branch, as if it will be blown away by the wind if you are not careful.

Zi Tong was hesitating whether to go over to greet her or wait for her to come to find her, but saw her beckoning to Zi Tong from a distance, then turned around and walked two steps stiffly to the side, and looked back at her.

Realizing that she was motioning for herself to follow her, Zitong followed after only a little thought.

Feng Jiu warned her not to talk to the ghost again, but she couldn't ignore the female ghost's bitter entanglement, because she could feel the helplessness of the female ghost. Probably because she herself had tasted the feeling of despair to the extreme, but no one helped her, and she wanted to help her.

After crossing the street and following the female ghost all the way, Zi Tong didn't know where she was going to take herself, and she never looked back at Zi Tong, walking stiffly in front. The figure is floating, and the joints are stiff, like a lonely zombie in a film movie.

Except for Zitong, the people around her didn't seem to be able to see her, and a few people even walked through her body. And her figure only dispersed like smoke for a moment, and then reunited into a human figure.

After passing through several streets and entering a secluded alley, her back disappeared in an instant as soon as the wind blew. Zitong chased after her in a few steps, but lost her whereabouts in front of her.

It's just the time before and after, where did she run......

This small alley should be behind the "Yan Shan" coffee shop. The alley was silent, with twisted strands of gray wires nailed to the walls on either side. The surrounding windows were tattered, the doors were covered in dust, and it must have been unoccupied.

Zi Tong turned around and wanted to go out, but saw Lei wrapped in a thick quilt and pulling a pair of dirty woolen slippers, standing next to her at a rusty security door, staring at her in a daze. His lips were pale, there were two pieces of gossip hanging from the corners of his eyes, and his nose was red.

Zitong's heart beat violently: "Lei, are you okay?" ”

He sniffed, his gaze still glazed: "Last night, I had a fever." Skip class, Tong, you. ”

And I don't know why, as soon as he opened his mouth, Zitong's mood relaxed inexplicably. I wondered if it was because of his illness that the female ghost brought her here.

"Lei, you didn't open the store when you were sick, and you didn't notify the staff in the store, so I came to see you." Zitong replied.

He seemed to be stunned, and after a while, he pulled out a slight smile, and sniffed again: "Oh, on vacation, the salary is not paid......"

Harsh capitalists really don't suffer at all. Out of politeness, Zitong patiently asked, "Is there anything I can help with, do I need to send you to the hospital?" ”

"No, you don't." Shaking his head, he stretched out his hand from the quilt, holding the sweaty twenty yuan in his hand, "Help me buy it, Daqing Leaf, Ganlik." ”

His complexion was really bad, and Zitong felt that it was better for him to go to the hospital to have a look. But she was not his friend, and he was reluctant to go to Zitong and was not easy to persuade, so he had to take the money and go to the street to buy medicine for him.

There are few people in this community, and it took a long time to find a pharmacy. The two clerks and aunts inside were discussing the demolition nearby, because Lei was mentioned in the middle, and they couldn't help but listen intently. To the effect that Ray is resolutely opposed to demolition.

After buying the medicine and rushing back, it was completely dark, and I didn't enter the door, so I hesitated at the door for a while. The door of the Lei family was ajar, and there was a long passage inside, dark and dark, only the wooden door at the end leaked a trace of yellow light.

Zitong leaned □ the red brick exterior wall and groped his way in. Constantly stepping on messy brooms, mops or something.

Pushing open the door at the end, the room was in chaos. The room is narrow, with an uneven blue brick façade. Incandescent light bulbs are covered with dust, couches are piled with dirty clothes, and disposable lunch boxes on the table are stacked like hills. Some uncomfortable smells tumbled from inside the house to the outside, the smell of mold, the smell of fermented food, and a faint smell of aromatherapy, which made people feel very uncomfortable in such a quiet and messy space.

Zitong walked into the room and casually picked up the plastic bench that had fallen to the ground: "Lei, the medicine is here." ”

No one answered.

"Click......" The sound of chains striking came intermittently from the slightly hidden bedroom.

Is it Ray's wife?

I walked over and just wanted to push the door to take a look, when a person flashed silently from the kitchen.

"Why, don't you wait outside the door?" Turquoise eyes looked at me quietly. On a cold day, he was wearing a yellowish white vest, a pair of black plaid pants, and a kitchen knife in his hand.

Zi Tong was frozen by his cold gaze, and hurriedly handed over the medicine: "Lei, medicine." ”

He silently took the medicine.

She breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'm leaving." ”

Zitong was about to leave in a hurry, and only stepped out with one foot, and his foot slipped. She fell backwards and into the bedroom.

"Oops......" She inhaled the cold air and tried to sit up, when she suddenly saw a person beside her.

Wearing aqua red deep V transparent sex pajamas, sitting with his back against the wall. Her head was resting on her shoulders, and her face seemed to be looking at Zitong, but her round eyes were gray and bloodshot with fear. Sticky blood poured out of the bowl-sized scar on her neck, trickled down her arm, and pooled into a stream on the ground.

It's her colleague Xiaohui!

Zitong found that her body was wet and full of her blood, and she subconsciously rubbed it back.

At this time, Lei walked over unhurriedly and blocked Zitong's mouth and nose with a towel: "She herself, sneaked in and seduced me." And call the police, catch Jane, damn it. Tong, you, shouldn't come in. ”

Zitong's eyes were blurry for a while.

Zitong was dizzy, and faintly heard a woman waking her up in her ear.

Zitong couldn't stand her noisy, and opened her eyes slightly. Hanging on the surrounding walls are many photographs of Ray and a woman as the protagonists. The two laughed heartily or hugged each other, happily showing their affection.

The heroine of the photo, the red-shoe female ghost, stood in front of Zitong, with two lines of blood and tears in her eyes, and raised her hand to point in the other direction of the room.

Look in the direction she was pointing.

Seeing a woman......

A woman with gray skin as if it were a cloudy day......

She sat upright in the chair, and the contours of her face were exceptionally beautiful. It is very similar to the woman in the photo, that is, the red-shoe female ghost next to Zitong. She is also wearing the same silk white dress and bright red leather shoes as the female ghost in red shoes. The neck, wrists, and ankles are all covered with chains, and the other end of the chain is attached to the wall.

In addition, her skin is gray, very pure gray, like a legendary zombie.

Ray sat across from her, picking up a red piece of ground with his chopsticks and holding it to her mouth. She meekly opened her mouth, biting down on the thing and chewing it slowly.

Realizing that the object was a human finger, Zitong felt a churn in her stomach. I wanted to breathe, but I only felt that my chest was heavy, and I couldn't breathe at all. In a hurry, he opened his mouth hard, and then a large breath of air poured in, and in the blink of an eye, the whole person suddenly woke up, and his body suddenly lightened.

Zitong woke up and found that he was lying on a bamboo sofa, sat up from the sofa, and suddenly there was a click next to him. Turning her head, she saw that Lei was facing her with a jet-black ********: "Don't move, don't want to, kill you." ”

At this time, cooperation is the best choice, Zitong hurriedly sat upright: "I don't move." ”

He put the gun on his lap and continued to feed the woman in front of him human flesh, introducing, "My wife, Jane. Jane, my friend, Tong. ”

To be honest, if it weren't for the weird skin color, Zitong would have thought that woman was a living person. Elastic smooth skin, crystal eyes, blank eyes, and a faint smell of perfume.

But the color of her skin was so weird, and there was a female ghost standing opposite her, behind Ray, who was dressed very similarly to her. In addition to the blood stains and dead breath on her body, the female ghost is more like a living person than her.

Seeing a person's strange body and bloody soul at the same time is really a strange thing. Holding back the feeling of discomfort in her stomach, Zi Tong asked boldly, "Lei, is your wife's illness cured?" ”

"No, Jane, it's a monster." didn't hide it at all, and continued to feed the gray woman human flesh, "I hurt ......"

"What happened?"

Put down the chopsticks, raised his head and stroked the woman's wriggling cheek: "Tong...... I betrayed ...... God ......"

Because he said that he was his friend, Zitong didn't interject and listened to him quietly.

"We went to Tibet and there was a car accident and Jane died. I went back to Italy, got vampire blood, injected her. But she didn't become a vampire, she became, a monster. It has fangs and has a lot of strength. But the skin, gray. ”

"In the beginning, she ate meat, offal. Oxen and sheep, and pig's blood. ”

"After a while, she refused, and ate those things again."

Then one day, she ran out and came back with blood on her lips. After a few days of silence, I went out again and hugged back an arm. ”

"Later, she went out, more and more, often."

"I want to lock her," he turned his head to look at Zitong, his green eyes revealing a desperate death, "but I can't." She often goes out, kills, and comes back. ”

"I want to self-immolate with her, and die in the flames of vodka. But I have done something wrong, and I cannot let her be punished with me. Tong, should I take her, what should I do? ”

Hearing him say this, Zitong noticed that there were several large wine crates with Russian written on top of each other in the corners of the walls, and dozens of bundles of dry firewood. If he didn't take the initiative to mention it, Zitong would still think that this was the goods he bought.

Because of his obsession, he turned his wife's body into a ghost and a ghost, so that his wife's soul could not ascend to heaven, I really don't know whether to blame him for being pathetic or stupid.

"Ray, Jane told you to burn her body." Zitong said.

He froze: "What? ”

Anyway, he had already spoken, Zi Tong glanced at Lei and stood beside Lei, looked at his Zhen's soul (the red-shoe female ghost) with deep affection, and said in one breath: "Actually, your wife Zhen is dead, and her soul can't ascend to heaven because of your obsession, and she stays with you every day." Now she's standing behind you and looking at you, but you can't see her. She made you burn her body so that you could both be freed. ”

“what!” He stood up, his eyes burning, even a hint of hidden anger, "Youarealiar."

"She's really standing next to you," Zitong looked at the female ghost who was crying and laughing, no, it should be Jane, and relayed it word for word, "She said that there are some secrets that only the two of you know." On your first date, you gave her an ice flower; Your first intimacy was on the steppe; She calls you at night, "My Italian Baby". ”

"Jane......" He covered his eyes, tears rolling down between his fingers.

The tall man's cry was muffled and muffled, like a lone wolf howling in pain under the moon. Although he couldn't see it, Jane's soul hugged his trembling shoulders and hugged him tightly.

"Jane said, burn her body, and she will continue to love you in heaven."

After passing the last sentence, Zitong's heart felt relaxed.

Suddenly, a strong aroma came from the door.

When I turned my head, there was a woman standing in the doorway, a female vampire who appeared that day, to be exact.

She wears a delicate butterfly top hat on her head, and her cheeks are delicate like flawless jade carvings against the background of maroon curls. He wears an ankle-length black mink coat and a pair of tall willow black leather boots. He wears a pair of golden rabbit fur gloves and a delicate blue lace umbrella in his hand.

"You killed Alixey?" The woman asked Lei, a contemptuous smile rising on the corner of her lips, "It's really a shame for my clan to be killed by humans." I like brave men, but you killed my people, and you must die. "With the tip of the umbrella, he locked his gray body on the chain, "This monster that was injected with the blood of our people after death must also be erased." ”

Ray stopped crying, and quickly picked up the shotgun leaning on his body and pointed it at her: "Who are you?" ”

Zi Tong hurriedly said: "She's a vampire!" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a "boom" and shot her gun. Suddenly, the whole room was filled with a pungent smell of sulfur, and a large hole was blasted out of the door frame.

Then, with the roar of thunder, the shotguns fired one after another.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Oh my God, in the blink of an eye, Ray went straight from a sad man to a fierce Cossack cavalryman. No superfluous nonsense, no negotiated representations. He was holding a shotgun, his eyes were red, the muscles on his body were bulging, and thick green tendons protruded from his neck and temples. Changing bullets is lightning fast. The muzzle of the gun chased the female vampire on the bedroom wall, and the dark shadows scurrying around on the ceiling breathed fire.

The shadow of the coffee shop owner with a gloomy face could no longer be seen, only a warrior who was fully engaged in the battle.

"I'll ......" When he fired the first shot, Zitong's whole body and internal organs were shaken. Ignoring the buzzing of his head, he threw himself on the ground and rolled under the sofa.

The fire at the city gate affected the fish in the pond, and his ears were numb by the huge gunshots, and Zitong couldn't hear anything. I cried out in my heart, and if I stayed any longer, I would definitely be killed by one of the two beasts. She climbed out against the falling lime and cement blocks, and before she could reach the door, two pairs of feet fell in front of her.

When I looked up, it turned out to be Jane's gray body being grabbed by a female vampire, and she was blocked in front of her like a shield. Although there is a large purple-red hole in the chest of the body, the expression of the body is still docile like a lifeless doll, and I don't know how to move.

Grandma is a hammer, and Lei Zhen is a clever violent maniac. His super strength and speed forced the female vampire to not get close at all, and he didn't even have time to use hypnotism, so he resorted to such an inappropriate method as taking hostages.

Accidentally injured his wife, Lei roared angrily and fired a shot in the air with one hand. He casually pulled out a Cossack saber from under the wine box beside him and rushed over, with a fierce expression on his face like a demon descending.

The female vampire frowned slightly, stepped on the umbrella and pulled out a slender foil from the umbrella. With a graceful swing, the tip of the sword picked up a blood flower on Ray's arm as he held the saber.

Kray's movements did not become sluggish, and the saber changed direction and slashed hard.

The cold sword light and sword shadow dazzled people, and the door was blocked by the female vampire and Jane. Zi Tong was so frightened that she huddled tightly by the wall, thinking of the blessing of the Heavenly King Lao Tzu.

Suddenly, a white figure flashed out of the wall and swooped into Jane's body. In an instant, a bright red light flashed in Jane's body's eyes, and then one turned around and hugged the female vampire, twisting his feet and switching positions with the female vampire.

A hint of panic flashed in the female vampire's eyes, but she was entangled in Jane's body, and she couldn't even move her hand holding the sword.

With a "click", a cold light flashed, and the Cossack saber slashed past the female vampire's head, and the cold and viscous liquid instantly sprayed all around, and many sprayed onto Zitong's face, and she only felt that everything around her seemed to have turned purple.

The fuchsia female vampire held her split head in half and viciously tore Jen's body open with her claws. Fuchsia Ray slashed at the female vampire's arm with a knife, and roared in Italian with no meaning in his mouth.

Zitong pulled up her sleeves and wiped her eyes, but the more she wiped them, the more blurred they became, and her eyelids were hot and painful.

At this time, a clear voice came from Wudi: "Zitong, hurry up." ”

She looked up and squinted, searching for the person who was speaking.

The two men had slashed into each other, and the female vampire frantically stabbed Ray in the stomach with the remnants of her right claw, and Ray dismembered the female vampire's waist with a saber. It was as if they had lost the ability to think and had become two beasts that only knew how to kill.

And Jane's body had been almost torn apart by Telisa, and her internal organs, lungs, and pieces of flesh were scattered everywhere. The body was reduced to a broken red skeleton, with only the right arm hanging from the right shoulder and the left leg broken to the knee, barely balancing against the wall.

Her skull was still intact, attached to the bloody spine, facing the direction of Zitong. The appearance is blurry, as if a translucent mask has been placed on the face, and Jane's soul must be attached to it.

"I'm going to burn this place, get out of here." She spoke again, and with a trembling right arm, she pulled out a lighter from behind the wooden box.

Zitong couldn't help but shudder, stopped paying attention to them at the moment, got up and ran towards the door. Before he could take two steps, he heard her say behind her, "Father, forgive us......"

As soon as the words fell, with a "poof", Zi Tong felt a fire burning in the back of his head, and then smelled the smell of burning hair. His eyes couldn't open for a moment, and he crashed into a body that was as hard as a stone. Then a force wrapped around her waist and spun around her, rushing out the door, stopping until she couldn't reach the flames.

"Boss!" It was as if out of thin air suddenly came out of some invisible space, and the sea came in time and abruptly.

"What about female vampires?" He asked expressionlessly.

"Inside."

"Leave this ......" threw down a few words, and he rushed into Lei's house without looking back.

The fire spread incredibly fast, the flames carrying smoke and scorching heat, and the rattling sound of suffocating gas rushing out of the hallway, engulfing his tall back in the blink of an eye......

In the early winter of this year, Zitong found a job in the "Yan Shan" coffee shop. Soon the business of "Yan Shan" was suspended, and life returned to peace.

It's just that when I opened the city's coffee forum again, the friends above built a memorial post for Lei and Zhen. Only then did Zitong know that there were so many people who liked KopiLuwak cooked by Lei, and whether Lei left or not, his traces remained in the city forever along with the fragrance of KopiLuwak. (To be continued.) )
