Chapter 19: Ancient frescoes in tombs
I saw the name "Wu Qiang" again, but why did I fall into his tomb? Why was he put in this coffin again?
So, who put me in the coffin? What exactly does he want to do? Do you want to kill me?
Also, since this is Wu Qiang's tomb, why is this coffin empty and there is no body of him?
This Wu Qiang, is it the Wu Qiang recorded in the hospital on the bed card in Mary's medical record book? Or, is it someone else's?
It occurred to me that I had just seen Mary's tombstone in the cemetery, and that was when I fell in.
Mary is dead, is Wu Qiang also dead? Why do the names of both of them appear in this Dream Hill Cemetery at the same time? Are they all dead, and have they been put to death?
By the way, what about my flashlight, and my pistol, and what about the ring?
Now, I don't have anything on me, it's like someone stole it. That guy must have attacked me, snatched my things, and put me in a coffin, intending to turn me into a corpse too!
If that's the case, the guy will definitely be back!
Get out of here, the sooner the better!
But how do I get out? It doesn't seem like there's any exit here, huh?
I looked around, and soon I stopped by a wall.
On that wall, there's a very strange mural. The style of the painting seems to be like that of ancient Egypt, and there are some ancient characters that I can't understand at all.
In this mural, a deceased man is lying in the middle, covered with red and white flowers, and the face of the deceased has been so smoked that it is impossible to see clearly, and even the gender cannot be recognized.
Around the dead man, there was a group of demon-like creatures looking down on him. The gazes of these demons were very terrifying, and I couldn't help but gasp when I saw this.
Above the corpse, above a black cloud, there was also a dog-headed man with winged monsters. In its right hand, it holds a scepter with a semi-circular head, which appears to be a god from the heavenly realm, who seems to be judging the dead.
What shocked me the most was that not far from the corpse, there was a group of villains, pushed by the evil spirits, they were struggling, but the red paint on the oil pot seemed to be blood. A group of small people were driven into the black water, their hands still held high above the water, but their heads were already halfway over.
Is this the scene in hell the same as in this mural?
At this moment, suddenly, the same painting appeared in front of my eyes.
That's right, it's this painting!
But it's not on the wall of this tomb, it's in my hands!
In my hand, I was holding a book, and the page of the book turned happened to have the same picture.
I looked up again, and I saw that in front, on the wall behind the glass display case, there was also this painting, exactly the same painting.
However, the painting is not in the tomb, but on the wall behind the museum's glass display case!
"It's really exactly the same, just like in your book?"
At this time, a voice came from my side, a beautiful woman's voice.
I turned my head and saw her again, the blonde beauty - Mary.
"Mary?" I was stunned.
Mary looked at me with a smile still on her face, resting her head on my shoulder, and she pointed to the illustration of the book.
"What does this painting mean, my dear?" She looked up, and her beautiful eyes were fixed on the painting on the wall.
"Oh, this is an ancient Egyptian painting that depicts the world after death. You see, the one lying in the middle is the dead. But I said unhurriedly, "The kobold is the god of the underworld, and he is extraditing the dead to cross the River Styx." ”
Strange, how do I know the meaning of this painting? Have I studied this before?
"Also, these demons are there to take away the souls of the dead and go to hell to suffer." I continued, "The ancient Egyptians believed that if they were not taken away by the gods of the underworld, they would be taken away by evil spirits and thrown into hell. ”
"So, how can a person avoid going to hell?" Mary was still smiling at me.
"That's very simple, as long as people don't do evil in life, they will naturally not be taken away by evil spirits. And those wicked who kill, steal, commit adultery, will be taken to hell by evil spirits after death. "You see, those who fell into the oil pot, and those who fell into the River Styx and drowned, are those who have done evil in the sun. After death, they will not escape punishment! ”
"Murder, theft, adultery?" Mary nodded thoughtfully, "Then I won't, but how do you understand this adultery?" For example, robbing someone's wife, is this considered adultery? ”
"Robbing someone's wife? Extramarital affair, third party? I was stunned and looked at her.
Suddenly, I saw a small figure appear in Mary's pupils.
It wasn't me, it was a man in a costume.
That person got bigger and bigger, and in the end, he turned out to be a person in a period costume.
He turned out to be the character I saw on the poster list of the drama in the Ghost Hospital!
He is Wu Song!
Suddenly, I realized that I was not in the museum, but in a theater.
Strange, how did I get here again? Didn't I just now still be in the museum? How did I get to this place?
The theater was empty, and there was no one but myself.
How did I get here? No, this isn't where I'm supposed to be?
I was a little uneasy and wanted to leave, but at this time, music sounded on the stage of the theater.
I looked up at the stage.
I saw a man with a bright steel knife standing on it.
He, isn't that Wu Song? That's right, it's exactly the same as Wu Song on the drama poster? It's him, it's him!
On the stage, there was another woman, a woman wearing ancient costumes and a cloak, kneeling in front of Wu Song. She buried her head, her face could not be seen, but her body kept trembling.
Could it be that the drama being staged here is "Wu Song Kills His Sister-in-law"? The woman kneeling on the stage is Pan Jinlian?
I wanted to get out of here, but I was still attracted by the story, so I watched them perform in a daze.
"Raise your head!" The Wu Song on the stage grabbed the woman, which should be Pan Jinlian's hair.
This time, I saw clearly that the woman was indeed another character in the drama poster - Pan Jinlian. There was blood on the corner of her mouth, of course, it must be fake. Her originally good-looking face was also red and swollen at the moment, and it became miserable.
When I saw that Pan Jinlian, I didn't have the slightest sympathy.
"You a**, you actually killed my brother! Today, I will avenge my brother! ”
As he spoke, Wu Song raised the steel knife and stabbed at Pan Jinlian.
The steel knife was inserted into Pan Jinlian's chest, and the woman didn't even make the last sound, she spat blood and fell on the stage.
Wu Song pulled out the steel knife, and on the bright knife, there was still dripping blood, drop by drop, drop by drop.
Suddenly, I realized something.
That knife, not a prop, that, is a real knife!
Oh my God, what this Wu Song is holding in his hand is actually a real steel knife! He actually stabbed the actress who played Pan Jinlian to death in front of me?
This is no longer a play, but a public murder!
This actor who played Wu Song actually killed someone on stage!
Suddenly, that Wu Song turned his gaze and turned his gaze at me standing under the stage!
"That adulterer, isn't that you?" He raised his knife again and pointed it at me.
In his eyes, a cold light suddenly flashed!
Oh no, this guy is going to kill me next!
Sure enough, that Wu Song had already rushed off the stage and rushed in my direction!
Run, run!
I was so frightened that I turned around and ran!
There were footsteps behind me, and I didn't dare to turn back, and ran all the way in the direction of the exit!
Suddenly, I stepped into the air and fell out of the air······
Yes! I woke up.
I opened my eyes, only to find that I was still in the tomb, and the wall was still on the other side.
My heart is still pounding.
It's horrible, but luckily, it's just my hallucination.
However, why did the actor who played Wu Song kill the actress who played Pan Jinlian? Why is he still chasing me? And say I'm an "adulterer"?
I tried to find my forgotten memories, but I couldn't remember them.
Perhaps, it was just a dream, right? I hope so.
I looked up, but when I looked at the mural on the wall, I was stunned.
The ancient mural on the wall had been blurred by something.
I reached out and touched the thing, only to find that it was bloodstains!
I was startled, immediately retracted my hand, and involuntarily took a few steps back.
Suddenly, my back was pressed against something, cold.
I turned around and found that it was a big black coffin!
I looked at it again and froze again.
The big coffin that used to hold me suddenly became two, one on the left and one on the right.
I rubbed my eyes, but there were indeed two identical coffins here!
What's going on? When did the extra coffin come out?
In front of the two coffins, there was a spirit card in each of them.
I crouched down and looked at the spirit card of the coffin on the right.
"Wu Qiang's spiritual position"!
Yes, isn't this the coffin I escaped from just now? But didn't I have already lifted the lid of the coffin, and why was it closed now?
That's right, the coffin lid is now firmly sealed again, and it can't be pushed open.
Looking at the coffin, I suddenly became scared again.
I don't know what's inside that coffin? Is there nothing there, or is there Wu Qiang's corpse, or is it a zombie that is about to jump out?
I turned my gaze to the left again, another coffin.
When my eyes fell on the coffin's spirit tablet, I was stunned!
"Mary's Spiritual Position"?
Mary, Mary is she dead?
No way? How could she have died? Could it be that in this coffin is her corpse?
At this moment, a burst of sadness suddenly passed through my heart
Standing in the middle of the two coffins, I was in a state of confusion and fear.
Why are the coffins of Wu Qiang and Mary side by side? What is the relationship between them? And what did they die for?
Looking at the two black coffins, I was stunned for a long time.
Finally, an idea came to me.
Either way, I should have opened the coffin and seen what they were!
However, as soon as the thought came to me, I was afraid.
Come on, there's a dead body in that coffin!
But if that Mary was my lover, the blonde girl I used to dream of in my dreams, and she died, shouldn't I have seen her for the last time?
At this time, I suddenly realized that there was a crowbar lying on the ground next to Mary's coffin!
The coffin was firmly sealed, and it was obviously impossible to push it open with your hands.
Okay, let me use this thing to pry open the coffin board!
So, I picked up the crowbar and pried open Mary's coffin.
I thought I would see a stench corpse, or even a pile of bones.
However, when the lid of the coffin was pried open, a fragrant smell wafted from the inside.
I looked at it and was stunned.
There was no body in Mary's coffin! In this coffin, it was sprinkled with red and white petals.
The red one seems to be a rose; And the white one seems to be jasmine.
The fragrant smell emanates from these jasmine flowers······
