Chapter 92: The Price

February 1980

On the radio of the city steel plant,

A clear, sonorous voice read.

"Happy Spring Festival

Be strong and strong to meet the Long March

The beauty of the four modernizations is inspiring

Communiqué Spring Breeze Blows the Earth"

In the early 80s, which was also the beginning of the country's reform and opening up, the steel mill had a high status in the country's heavy industry system, and it was also an important pillar of the city's economic system.

The city's steel mill is built on the periphery of the city, not too far from the homes of most workers, and the roads are not very difficult to walk.

It was the third day of the first lunar month, and a girl who looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a green military coat and two braids, rode a Phoenix bicycle to her father's steel factory, where she went to deliver food to her father on duty during the Spring Festival.

Wherever she went, she passed by a wasteland, empty and cloudless, and she was in a good mood and hummed a little tune.

Suddenly, a blue arc crossed the sky, as if the god of fate had peeked at someone.

Unsuspecting, a strange thing rushed towards the girl who was riding, pierced her head in an instant, and melted into it.

The girl was found dead for a long time, and her body was temporarily placed in the morgue of the Municipal Iron and Steel Hospital, and at midnight on the third day after her death, a person slowly sat up on the corpse bed, and a terrible scream resounded throughout the mortuary. . .

The old building of Beihan No. 3 Middle School

In the darkness, Xu Tielai quickly came to a door, which led to the underground pool.

Although she can't be familiar with these roads, there are two rooms, except for Shijia, Xu Junfang never lets anyone else approach.

But once, when Shijia was talking to Xu Junfang, she accidentally heard some words.

So I probably know that one of the two rooms was sealed with a large stiff body, which seemed to have an unusual identity and had never taken its blood.

She guessed that the predecessor of this stiff man must have some deep relationship with Xu Junfang.

The other room is probably the place where the cold fire Tiangang and the blood are stored, or there are other secrets in it.

Xu Tielai plans to explore the road tonight, and when she finds out and finds an opportunity, she wants to steal all the blood and magic weapons, and then go to another room to take the blood of the nameless zombie and escape.

Xu Tielai knows very well that no matter how much she hates, there is a huge disparity in strength between her and Xu Junfang after all.

Xu Junfang is unfathomable, she can control the yin people with her mind alone, if she comes hard, it is impossible to die together, so she can only take revenge on him, and she can only steal what he values and cares about.

The location of the pond is not under the old building, to be exact, but under the open space outside the school.

Xu Tielai knew that in 1951, the land outside the school was allocated to some farmers for farming.

One of the farmers wanted to dig a well here, because it was too difficult to feed from the sky and it was inconvenient to get water to irrigate the land, so he wanted to dig a well nearby.

That piece may not be on the water vein, so digging to ten meters has not yet come out of the water, the people above feel that they have to find a place to dig again, and the people below plan to come up, but they accidentally find that on the side wall of the bottom dug, there is a black thing protruding.

Curious on the one hand, and fearful of something good, the peasants dug it again, and when the pit was large, they found that it was a black coffin standing upright, bound by chains as thick as their wrists.

Some of them were bold, and when they touched the material of the coffin, they found that it looked like iron.

The iron locks on the outside of the coffin were rusty, but the coffin was not rusty and corroded, there was not even a gap, as if it had been welded to death.

The iron coffin, still black in color, was buried upright, tied with iron chains, and these people were beating drums in their hearts.

Because as the saying goes, "Don't touch iron on the Huangquan Road." ”

When a person dies, no iron or burial iron can be touched in the funeral rites.

One is because iron is easy to rust, and after corrosion, the corpse is damaged, and the other is that iron does not pass through yin and yang, and if it is buried with iron, it is easy to trap the soul of the deceased and become a ghost.

I don't know if this iron coffin happens to be black, because black coffins are generally used for people who commit suicide.

And there are some dark lines on the black surface of the coffin, which looks like some kind of text, which looks very weird.

Although these peasants didn't know much, they felt that they were unlucky and afraid of being a murderous thing, so they wanted to bury them back.

As they filled the pit with earth, they heard a movement, a creepy sound.

It's like the sound of someone choking their necks and swallowing their breath, which was already scared enough, but at this time, the iron coffin itself moved, as if there was something alive in it that wanted to come out.

These people threw away their tools, scattered and fled, and went back to the village to be frightened, and the bold people in the village heard that they did not believe in evil, and gathered a group of people to come back to see, and strange things happened, the pit was still there, but the iron coffin was gone.

As for where the iron coffin is now, Xu Tielai knows it, it is in a room on the upper floor of this pool.

The thing in this iron coffin is a big stiffness, and it is a yin person who doesn't want to drink blood that finally becomes, and its blood, Xu Junfang once said that it is very mellow and sweet.

At this time, Xu Tie walked back and forth to the west of the pond, if he hadn't been here, no one would have believed that there would be such a complex construction underground.

In the darkness around the pool, there were at least eight or nine cave-like rooms, some of which she had entered, some of which she had not.

There is a nameless stone chamber, which is in the easternmost part of the pond, and the one that is suspected of hiding the magic weapon is in the westernmost part.

She has to hurry up, otherwise Xu Junfang and they may have to come back.

After entering through the iron gate, the darkness around the pond was so thick that it was frightening.

Although Xu Tielai can see things in the dark, it may be because she is too young and her ability is not enough, so her field of vision is limited, and she can only see things in that small area by moving her eyes.

She passed by the pond and looked at the edge of the pit, and there were dark splatters and dried unidentified objects, and she didn't know if it was the blood of the shady man or what.

Although Xu Tielai has seen these many times, he can always think of some pictures, and he can't help but feel cold behind his back and nauseated in his heart.

After a while, she came to a stone door, which was where Xu Junfang would not let her approach.

She didn't know where the mechanism of the stone door was, but she knew where it was, because once she heard the sound of the stone door opening, and there were footsteps on the right that walked in, about a dozen paces apart.

Ten paces away, she groped on the wall, tapping, back and forth, up and down, and after a while, in a somewhat different place, Xu Tie pressed down and down.

The sound of stones rubbing against the stone made the stone door open on the left, and she made a small mark at the mechanism, and then walked towards the stone door.

Where there is no light, darkness is the same.

Her eyesight was limited, so she walked inside, and most of what she saw were walls, and the stone room seemed to be very empty, and she couldn't help but feel a little strange in her heart.

She didn't believe there was anything in the stone room, so she took a few steps further inside.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on something, it was supposed to be a large glass jar with a person, a complete human specimen to be exact.

Ever since Xu Tielai had the ability to see things clearly in the dark, she had long been accustomed to this kind of darkness, so she basically didn't have to be afraid.

But the sudden appearance of a skinless human face in her field of vision still made her heart palpitate.

But then she stared at the specimen's face, and for some reason, it gave her a strange feeling.

The lips of the specimen were not peeled off, and the protruding eyeballs and the muscles on the side of the mouth made Xu Tielai feel a strange feeling, feeling that the specimen inside was smiling at her.

She suddenly thought that in the corner of the third room of the specimen that she didn't want to remember, there seemed to be such a large specimen glass jar, how could it appear here, she was a little puzzled.

She didn't want to dwell on the jar, she had to find the artifact and the blood quickly, whether they were in this stone chamber or not.

She turned around and looked to the left, perhaps the stone chamber was bigger than she thought it was, and she couldn't see what was on the other side.

Then she took a few more steps, and something appeared in her sight, a pair of shoes, on a pedal.

Xu Tielai was stunned, her breathing stopped at that moment, she felt creepy while panicking, her mind became blank, she didn't even have the courage to look up, because whether it was that pair of shoes or that pedal, she was very familiar with it.

The stone door behind him suddenly closed, Xu Tielai panicked and ran to the door, but it was too late.

There was a familiar and strange sound in the stone chamber, the sound of wheels rolling on the ground.

"Shen Yuan, where do you want to go?"

Xu Tielai was like falling into an ice cellar, the feeling of fear seeped into every pore, there was an extra person in this space, she didn't notice it at all, and this person could still wait here before her.

She no longer struggles, because everything is in vain, and the words to defend are even more humble, and she can't escape anyway, and this vicious person will not let her go.

When everything doesn't matter, fear is superfluous, she wants to know the truth of the facts, curse everything in hell.

There was no fear in her voice.

"Where can I go? Didn't I keep you firmly in the palm of your hand all the time? ”

Xu Junfang laughed in the dark, and this laughter shuddered.

Xu Tielai turned around and looked, from his legs to his face, in this strange environment and that limited vision, Xu Junfang looked like a smiling wax man.

"I actually don't want to wait for you, I didn't expect you to do this to me, do you want to come and steal the blood and magic weapons, and by the way, go over there to get the blood of the king's house?"

The wheelchair rolled over to the giant glass jar.

The most terrifying thing about Xu Junfang is that he is like a god, and Xu Tielai can't show weakness.

"Where the hell is my father?"

Xu Junfang seems to be admiring the specimen in a glass jar.

"I gave you immortality, I gave you a new name, a new life, it's like being born again, why are you still looking for your father? Wouldn't it be nice to stay by my side? ”

"Rebirth? If I had to go through all that pain and know those truths, I'd rather die and you ruined me, and I want to be grateful to you? ”

Xu Junfang smiled.

"Looks like you know everything.

You are really like your father, you can't see the situation clearly, and you obviously don't want to return it to me, or you want to take it away. ”

"You're so despicable, it's right that my father won't give it to you."

Xu Junfang was not annoyed, and laughed again.

"Despicable? Hahaha, you kid, your hard temper is really with your father, but what can you do?

Doesn't he have to end up being a specimen and be soaked here?

But where is your father's soul? Last time I watched the good show between you and those teenagers in the third room of the specimen, it was gone.

Hahahaha! Xu Junfang's laughter was crazy, full of malice and distortion.

Xu Tielai was stunned, and she moved her gaze to the huge glass jar, the skinless specimen suspended in the liquid.

Xu Tielai covered his mouth with his hand, his body trembled uncontrollably, and tears gushed out uncontrollably.

These words hit her heart like thunder, I don't know if it was fear, sadness, great humiliation, or remorse, anger and hatred, her body was a little swaying and helpless, but the enemy was close at hand.

"You monster! I'll kill you. ”

She was just about to exert her strength, but her body couldn't move, Xu Junfang used her mental power, how could she, a shady person who had only been five years, compete with this old demon who didn't know how long she had lived, and it would be useless to let the hatred hit violently.

Xu Junfang slowly stood up from the wheelchair, walked to Xu Tielai's side, and reached out to lift her chin.

Xu Tielai's face was stained with tears, and she couldn't wait to tear apart the ugly person in front of her.

The corners of Xu Junfang's mouth were hooked.

"Your father didn't return my magic weapon back then, it's really annoying to be sanctimonious, anyway, I have time, so I'll let him see with his own eyes what kind of price it takes to go against me."

After saying this, he withdrew his hand violently and walked to the door of the stone room, where the stone door slowly opened.

Xu Junfang said quietly.

"Oh, by the way, you betrayed me, that little policeman who likes you, knows a lot, it's your blessing, it's not bad to catch it and feed the big stiff, ha~hahahaha~!"

The laughter echoed in the darkness, and suddenly became distant, and the stone gate gradually closed again...

"What about the little policeman?"

"Whoever knows these secrets can't live!"
