Chapter 28: A Peace of Mind Office
I thought it was a hallucination, rubbed my eyes, put my gloves back on, poked her toes again, and sure enough, there was a reaction!
But I'm not sure, whether she is alive or a corpse, I think it's mostly the latter, after all, she has been dead for too long, but I still pulled her ice coffin out of the "drawer", patted her cheek, and called twice, suddenly, Du Jiayao's eyes opened like a light bulb, which scared me into a thrill, and quickly retreated, making room, and she sat up from the ice coffin again.
"Hey, alive and dead, you?" I asked cautiously, glancing at the direction of the door, and in case she ran away, so would I—the one who ran away!
If she had come back to life, she would have given me a response if she was so energetic, but she didn't, she was still sitting so upright in the ice coffin at more than 20 degrees below zero, with a pair of big eyes, staring straight at a certain point in the air.
It seems to be a deception.
"The battle is about to end, if you come to Jiye ......" I began to recite the "Corpse Mantra" taught to me by Lao Zhou, a 108-word mantra, I recited it for the first time, Du Jiayao did not react, and he was still sitting there, was my voice not loud enough?
But I was afraid of disturbing the other corpses that were "sleeping"—this corpse mantra was a double-edged sword, and it only worked on corpse fraudsters, and it could not be recited casually to normal corpses, in case the corpse's soul was still there, it would be easy to trick corpses into rising—so I took two steps forward, wrapped my mouth with my hands, approached Du Jiayao's ear, and recited it again.
Still no response, is it difficult, to use English? Because when I talked to her dad on the phone before, her dad said that this child grew up with his mother in the country of Bulie, and his mother tongue is English, and he only came back from there this year in order to participate in our college entrance examination in the hot summer.
"soldier-fight-will-die,if-come-nice-leaf......" I just translated two sentences indiscriminately, and she actually lay down!
I didn't expect it to work.,It seems,I'll have to memorize the English version when I go back.,And then get some French and Japanese versions to prepare.,Maybe I'll use it someday.。
I stroked her eyes: "Rest in peace, smash, Amen!" ”
Du Jiayao's eyelids loosened, closed her eyes, I quickly pushed her ice coffin back, leaned on the coffin head, and when I touched my head, sweat came out.
I'm not very afraid of ghosts, because the ghosts I've encountered in the past two days, without exception, are almost like people, and I'm afraid of this, half-dead thing, popping up suddenly, because you can't guess what she's going to do!
After calming down for a while, I left the morgue and handed the keys back to the duty room.
An unfamiliar number called in and answered, it was Feng Jiajia, saying that she was home, and her father had woken up, and after knowing what was going on, her father was a little scared and wanted to take Jiajia back to her hometown for a while, and then come back when the wind calmed down.
"Okay, let's go back," I said, "don't forget to bring your revision materials, when are you leaving?" ”
"My dad said let's go now!"
I looked at my watch, it was four o'clock in the morning, it was almost dawn, and it should be fine.
"Stay safe."
"Uh-huh, thank you, brother!"
There is no news from Liu Feng's side, it seems that this murderer is difficult to catch, I sent Xie Xin'an a WeChat message again, briefly explaining the situation, especially highlighting my importance in the arrest process (it is indeed quite important, not that I am very good, mainly because I am the only person who has spoken to the murderer on the phone, and I have a lot of clues), Xie Xin'an quickly replied: Got it, where are you?
I said duty room, and Xie Xin'an asked me to go to a room on the third floor, 305.
I have never been to the third floor, because it is usually locked, I asked Lao Zhou before, and Lao Zhou said that the third floor is a warehouse, and there is nothing to see.
Did Xie Xin'an drink too much, go through the wall in a daze, and go to sleep in the warehouse?
I got out of the duty room, climbed the stairs, and when I got to the second floor, I looked up, and the staircase on the third floor was still locked, but although the lock was hung on the iron fence, it was open, I took off the lock, pulled the fence, and continued to go up.
There is no light, the corridor is dark, I use my mobile phone to illuminate it, this is not a warehouse, like the first floor and the second floor, it is also one office after another, however, there is no name plate of the department on the door, only Arabic numerals, 302, 303, 304, 305, arrived.
I knocked on the door, and Xie Xin'an's voice came from inside: "The door is not locked, come in." ”
I pushed open the door, and what caught my eye was a very well-decorated office, antique Chinese style, full of mahogany decorations, which gave me the illusion of traveling back to ancient times, Xie Xin'an was still wearing her suit, sitting on the sofa, frowning, rubbing her head, it seemed that the wine had not passed.
"Are you alright, you?" I walked over and asked with concern, after all, it was me who led the way, or did I give me more to accompany me.
"Press the shoulder on the Pavilion." Xie Xin'an said weakly.
"Oh." I stood behind the couch and squeezed her shoulders, but she had sponge shoulder pads in her suit and was a little uncomfortable.
Xie Xin'an turned around and frowned at me: "Use some force!" ”
"Your clothes are not easy to press." I say.
"Eventful......" Xie Xin'an was helpless, took off her suit jacket, and I was about to get started, she took off the white shirt inside one after another.
"This ...... Not okay? I smiled wryly, looking down from my point of view, there was nowhere to put my eyes!
"Yours is." Xie Xin'an said coldly.
I had to get started again, and I touched her shoulder directly, it was so cold, similar to the touch of a corpse that had just been pulled out of the ice coffin, but it was not as stiff as a corpse, and the texture was delicate and soft, no different from a living person.
Xie Xin'an seemed to be pressed comfortably, and hummed quietly, "The craft is good, have you learned?" ”
I quickly swallowed the saliva in my mouth and whispered, "I haven't learned." ”
"Hmm......" Xie Xin'an closed her eyes, and within two minutes, her breathing (ghosts actually had breathing) became heavy and even, and she fell asleep......
I slowly withdrew my hands, picked up her suit, covered her, Xie Xin'an tilted, fell on the sofa, this sofa is wooden, very hard, so sleeping is not a thing, I stepped left and right, found that there is a door next to it, walked over and pushed it open, turned on the wall lamp inside, is a bedroom, the same decoration style, the bed is also the ancient kind, with a frame, the bed is covered with a red quilt embroidered with dragons and phoenixes, like a new house.
I went back to the sofa, put my left hand under Xie Xin'an's neck, hooked her leg with my right hand, and carried her away.
Not light or heavy, the weight of a normal girl, no wonder she said that she can't teleport, this body should probably conform to the various physical laws of the yang world.
I carried her into the bedroom and put her on the bed, just about to cover the quilt, Xie Xin'an raised her hand and pointed to her feet, I would care, helped her take off her high heels, and she pointed to her pants again, uh...... That's a bit excessive, right?
