Chapter 90: The Human Fur Coat
I felt my brain tingle for a while, and I thought to myself, isn't this driver a showman? It's too good to blow, what is a human fur coat, I've heard of it for the first time when I've grown so big. The driver looked at me with disdain and seemed to have guessed my thoughts.
He laughed and said, "Young man, I understand you, most of the people who hear this story for the first time have this kind of reaction. Why do you think human skins should be used to make clothes, right? I would be disgusted to think about it.
"But...... Would you still be ridiculous if I told you, young man, that the so-called 'human fur coats' sold by the company that set up this textile mill would bring good luck and make his career prosperous? ”
“…… Really? ”
The driver gradually smiled, looking at me through the rearview mirror as he waited for the traffic light. He said that the company was a luxury brand at the time, and of course, it was advertised to be the same as other companies, and they also made ordinary clothing.
This is what they do most of the time, but only a few people know that this company has a hidden "service". That's a custom fur coat. The driver said that although none of the customers who bought the human fur coat were exposed, the real existence of the human fur coat was already an established fact.
Speaking of this, the driver also looked quite regretful, saying that this world is still the world of rich people in the end, they have the real power, as long as they pay, they can gag many people's mouths. I didn't say much, but I was completely shaken in my heart.
But also, this terrible scandal has gone out, and it is strange that this textile factory is treated well and can continue to do it. Even I think that the company that established this textile factory was actually a joint venture between those big capitalists?
The company itself does not want to make a profit, but only exists to secretly make human fur coats that can bring strong luck to those asset predators. As for the remuneration that needs to be paid to the female workers, it is estimated that in their eyes a whole hundred years of wages is not considered money.
"Now, young man, you can follow the signs down South Lane from here to see the entrance to the abandoned factory. I'm going to drive here at most, and I'm not allowed to go inside. And when you get to that entrance, the most you can do is take pictures, and it's forbidden to go in. ”
I thanked the driver and got out of the car, the streets here are more prosperous than the side street just now, the street lights are still on, and walking on the street will not feel gloomy. Following the driver's instructions, I kept walking down the road, and sure enough, I arrived at the entrance in a short time.
The scale of this textile factory is not large at all, and it is almost a baby's level compared to a heavy industry factory. But even though it's been abandoned for ten years, I can still feel a sense of sophistication in it.
According to the chronology, it was very rare for a factory to be designed so elaborately at that time, indicating that the company had made considerable investment. Although the entrance is marked with no entry and there are security guards watching, you have to find a way to get in.
But in order not to be noticed by the security guards, I pretended to be the one who came to collect materials, took out my mobile phone and pretended to take a lot of photos seriously, and then turned around and left with a satisfied face. During this time, I used the corner of my eye to check the whereabouts of the security guard.
At first, the security guards looked a little wary, after all, it was so strange to come here on a big night like this. But when he saw that I kept taking pictures, he seemed relieved and stopped paying attention to me as much as he did at the beginning.
After turning around, I immediately dialed Lynn's phone, and soon the phone was connected, and I briefly explained to her what I was experiencing now, and wanted to ask her opinion.
“…… If that's the case, I wouldn't recommend that you find a way into the abandoned factory. Lynn whispered as I had finished my explanation, and I could hear a hint of worry in her voice. But I said that since I had already come, I couldn't go home empty-handed.
Lin said that the mysterious person hiding in the shadows was probably related to the person Stone Hammer and the Ghost Girl, and now we are on the bright side, and we have the least information. In reasoning cases, intelligence is almost combat power, even bargaining chips, and the more you have, the stronger you are.
And when there is no intelligence, the best course of action is to investigate in the shadows, rather than completely at the mercy of the other side as is the case now. Lin said worriedly that she didn't think that this mysterious person had good thoughts about me anyway, and always felt that this person was trying to harm me.
I said that I had thought of this too, but the most important thing now was that the safety of Captain Stonehammer's life had not been guaranteed, and in order to save Captain Stonehammer, I thought it was necessary to take a risk.
After discussing with Lin for a long time, Lin and I both expressed our own opinions and failed to unify them. But in the end, Lynn decided to follow my advice, but she also made a request. That is, from now on, as long as she can't get in touch for half an hour, she will immediately call the police.
After hanging up the phone, I was struggling with how to get into the abandoned factory when I found a woman. She has short hair, permed into a pear blossom head, and her body is very thin, and her legs are almost like chopsticks. And the clothes he was wearing were also tattered.
In my case - this is a woman without any feminine charm. Especially the pair of sneakers on my feet, I don't know how long it has been since they have been washed, but the sneakers that are clearly white have turned pale yellow.
“……”
I silently walked over to the woman, and as I stood beside her, she seemed to realize that someone was coming, looked up in a daze, and looked at me. That's when I realized that she didn't have eyes.
The little face was pale, and her facial features were complete except for her eyes, but the lack of eyes was too strong to make people appreciate her countenance.
“…… Is it Zhang Han? She asked in a hoarse voice, a hint of weakness hidden in her voice.
This woman has eyes that are like black holes. She was blind, but in general, blind people would have prosthetic eyes or something to cover their eyes. But she didn't do anything, and her two dark eyes stared at me, making me feel my scalp tingle for a while.
Where the woman and I were standing, there was a street lamp nearby, so I could see her clearly. But the more I looked at this face, the more creepy it became—because I saw bruises in many places on her face.
This is not your average bruise, it feels more like a "sewing" mark. For example, what impressed me the most and the strongest impact was the purple, jagged dense sewing marks on her two eyes.
It's as if someone had sewn up her eyelids with needles and threads in the past. And that's not all, there are almost all traces of this discomfort on her mouth, ears, corners of eyes, neck, forehead, and so on.
It seems like a long time since I looked at the scar, but I think that no matter how much other person is subjected to this kind of physical torture, there must be some mental problems. So I'm not so scared of this strange-looking woman in front of me anymore.
There was even a hint of sympathy for her, after all, she was already a blind person. I nodded at her, and then remembered that she was blind, and immediately replied out loud. She nodded and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Zhang Hang, I'm a cartoonist, my pen name is Ghost Girl, please take care of me." ”
"Hell...... What did you say?! ”
I was stunned, and then I saw that this woman seemed to be a little frightened, suddenly shrunk her neck, and her steps were also two steps back, but because she couldn't see it, she accidentally stepped on a small pebble, and her body lost balance in an instant.
I watched her let out a small sigh, and then fell down weakly, and hurriedly rushed to hug her - after this hug I found that her body looked as thin as a hemp stick, but girls are girls after all, and they are very soft in their arms.
And the clothes on her body, although shabby, are very clean and give a simple feeling, although there is no smell of perfume, you can smell a faint smell of laundry detergent when you get closer.
"Yes, I'm sorry...... I'm so stupid......"
After I hugged and helped me up, she quickly began to bow her head to me and apologize, and I couldn't help but have a weird feeling in my heart when I looked at her like this. Is this woman really the ghost girl who is the supernatural horror comic and the writer of the spoken word?
This made me a little confused—because, if the woman in front of me was a ghost girl, my reasoning and assumptions about the ghost girl would have almost been overturned. I thought of the ghost girl as a ghost, but now I couldn't sense the slightest suspicion in the woman in front of me.
I couldn't help but make sure again and again with this woman if she was really a ghost girl, and she patiently listened carefully to my repeated questions, and then nodded seriously again and again, looking quite patient. It's just that the more she does this, the more I feel like crying.
In the end, I had to ask her helplessly, that ghost girl teacher, why are you on this other party now? The ghost girl looked honest and said that it was the white yarn that brought her here.
"White yarn? Who is this? Is it a woman? ”
The ghost girl was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't help but smile bitterly, scratched her face, and whispered that Bai Sha was the protagonist of her other comics. I gave a sigh and then apologized to her that I hadn't seen the manga yet.
The ghost girl shook her head and said that it was normal, most people had only read the comic of spoken language, but in fact, even I was brought here today, it was all done by Bai Sha.
I felt some reaction in my brain, pressed my swollen temples hard, frowned, and said, "You mean to ...... Well, this one called Bai Sha, the protagonist of another of your comics, contributed to me and you meeting here? ”
The ghost girl clapped her hands gently, as if to express her admiration. She nodded and said, "Your comprehension ability is really great, your mind is very clear and clever, Mr. Zhang Hang, you really don't disappoint, it seems that Bai Sha said that you were the son of a general in your previous life is true." ”
"My ...... Past? I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, staring at the ghost girl with a smile on her face for a long time, and an illusion suddenly appeared in my mind.
The ghost girl in front of me had obviously lost her eyes, and she looked very terrible, but I had unconsciously become accustomed to her appearance, and even remembered what she looked like when she was not blind - still with short black hair, with a headband, a little freckles on her face, and a shy smile.
I looked at the ghost girl with dark eyes and thought to myself that if she had eyes, she would be beautiful.
