Chapter 12: Footprints

"... ... ... ..."

Jiege's bull's eyes bulged out, and his eyes followed Hao Jian, who was galloping, and his mouth burst into foul language. It wasn't until Hao Jian's figure disappeared that he shouted out the last three words, "Explode... Blow up the corpse..."

Fang Xu, who was stunned, was woken up by his noise, and when he saw that Hao Jian was gone, he thought of specimen No. 198-1 and immediately rushed towards the cement platform.

"Ah Xu..."

Jiege's reaction was quite fast, he thought that Fang Xu was so frightened that he was running insanely, and immediately chased after him, and at the moment when Fang Xu stopped, he jumped up and grabbed Fang Xu with both hands, shaking vigorously, "Ah Xu, wake up, Ah Xu, wake up..."

"It's gone..."

"What's missing?"

"Specimens." Fang Xu took out his mobile phone, turned on the flashlight, and shone it on the platform, "Pot lid, let go." ”

"What specimen?" Jiege was afraid that Fang Xu would break free and run around again, and when he asked, the strength in his hand did not decrease at all, "The one in the afternoon?" ”

"Yes, let go." Under the searchlight of the mobile phone flashlight, Fang Xu had already checked the ground around him, "Impossible, who else?" ”

Seeing that Fang Xu looked like he was completely evil, "Ah Xu... Are you okay? ”

Fang Xu turned around and shone the light of the mobile phone flashlight on Jiege's face, only to see his nervous appearance clearly, "No wonder with such a big force, it turned out to be a misunderstanding." ”

"I'll try it behind you, do you feel anything?"

"What?" Jiege didn't react.

Fang Xu's ass moved a few times.

Jiege was stunned, "Damn, Lao Tzu doesn't do it!" Then he let go of his hand, "It's a joke, it seems to be fine." ”

The two of them circled around the platform and didn't find any specimens, so Fang Xu bit the phone in his mouth, clasped the upper edge of the platform with both hands, and "Push me up." ”

Jiege crossed his fingers and lowered his body, "Step on." ”

Fang Xu's right foot stepped on Jiege's hands, and the two shouted the trumpet and exerted force at the same time.

"Damn, it's been so many days, and it's still so heavy!" Jiege patted the soil on his hand, "Did you find it?" ”

"Found it... No, how did it become empty? ”

Jiege stood on tiptoe and still couldn't see the situation above, "What's empty?" ”

"Look..."Fang Xu lifted the glass bottle out of the platform, "The specimen inside is gone." ”

Jiege looked at it, shook his head and blinked a few times, "It's really gone, the lid is open, so let's see if there is a mark on the platform?" ”

After Jiege asked, Fang Xu put down the glass bottle, and the mobile phone shook a few times on the platform, "Yes." ”

"Is it dripping?"

"It's not."

"What's that?"

Fang Xu squatted down and carefully observed the mark on the platform, "It looks like..."

"Like what?"

"Like..."

Jiege's acute son was guilty, "Ink hairy you, what are you like?" ”

"A pair of small footprints."

"My day!" Hearing Fang Xu's words, Jiege almost hit the side of the platform, "Don't scare me." ”

"Come up and see for yourself." Fang Xu pulled Jiege up, and sure enough, he saw a pair of vague little footprints, "Has anyone else come up here?" ”

Fang Xu shook his head, "I don't know, but even if it is, the specimen is dead and taken out by the person who came, and the imprint on the ground of Formarin is also dripping like you asked, not a small footprint!" ”

"What about the man carrying the baby specimen?"

"Pot lids, baby specimens, dead corpses! When you go to the cold room, do you lead them to the lab? ”

Jiege's bull's eyes bulged again, and he exclaimed, "Another exploding corpse, tonight is going to be a zombie night!" ”

Fang Xu stared at the pair of frozen footprints, "Pot lid, do you believe that there are ghosts in this world?" ”

"Just believed, what about you?"

"From the first human anatomy class in my freshman year, I started to believe."

"How?"

Fang Xu told Jiege about some strange things he encountered after entering the university, of course, he didn't say anything about the silver glasses. Fang Xu thought that the silver glasses were given to him by Mu Yuren, and with his relationship with Mu Zhirong, Mu Yuren should not harm himself! But after the silver glasses appeared, some strange things happened one after another, and before he figured out the true purpose of the silver eyes, Fang Xu didn't want this brother to get involved.

"Damn, you're not kind! For so many years, I have been enjoying the state bonus of Old Man Mu alone, and every time the experiment is successful, it turns out that it is open. ”

Fang Xu was a little embarrassed in his heart about his good buddy's grievances, "If you could bear his nagging, I would have shared it with you a long time ago." ”

"Gotta gotcha... Let's talk about what to do now, it's not a good time to be targeted by a terrifying and perverted nurse. ”

"Specimen 198-1 found."

"This footprint was suddenly broken on the edge of the east side, and there was no specimen underneath," Fang Xu pointed to the faculty apartment in the distance, "Could he have gone there?" ”

"Possibly." Jiege just nodded in agreement with Fang Xu's opinion, and saw Fang Xu staring at the faculty apartment in the distance, "You don't want to look there, do you?" ”

No matter how firm Jiege's inner materialist view is, what happened just now cannot but make him believe in the fact that "ghosts" really exist.

Human beings have an innate avoidance of unknown and dangerous things.

Hao Jian, who had just lost half of his head, ran like crazy and rushed into the faculty apartment after coming back with half of his head. The matter had not yet been fully digested, and the specimen of the baby soaked in formalin had escaped on its own. Could it be that tonight is really going to be a zombie night, will there be a mutated big boss in it, "Go back and bring a competent guy." ”

"Fire axes, baseball bats, Gatling guns, unlimited bullets!" Fang Xu patted Jiege's head, "The game is too poisoned!" ”

After Fang Xu finished speaking, he jumped off the platform and walked towards the faculty apartment.

"Damn, it's dangerous inside, I'm not kidding you!"

"Yes, it's just our Chinese ghosts, the old people said that people are afraid of ghosts for three points, and ghosts are still afraid of people for seven points. If you're afraid, go see Xiong Zhanmin and wait for me to come back. Fang Xu said and walked away.

Seeing that Fang Xu's figure was slowly becoming blurred, Jiege slapped himself, "Damn, I was actually compared to you!" People are dead and birds are facing the sky, afraid of an egg! Jiege said this as if he didn't want to lose to Fang Xu, but in fact, he was worried about Fang Xu's safety, as for the life and death of Xiong Zhanmin in the grass, what did he matter.

Jiege said, jumping off the platform and quickly following Shang Xu.

"This building has nine floors and nearly a hundred rooms, where will they be?" Fang Xu took his mobile phone and searched the first floor by the light, but he didn't find anything, "Specimen 198-1 and the newly deceased Hao Jian have entered here, is there something in it that attracts them, and this thing is the reason why the apartment was shut down that year?" ”

The whole building is still rough, with a few wooden boxes in the stairwell, and a few large faded shelves leaning on the inside. The wooden mould on the edge of the staircase has not been removed, and the reinforced hook has become loose and may fall off at any time.

"If this is ballasted, the skull will be pierced!"

Fang Xu removed the dusty bamboo shelves on a wooden box in the stairwell and found that it was full of hard hats, "The senior brother of the Civil Engineering College said that yellow is worn by ordinary migrant workers, red is generally worn by construction workers and foremen, and blue is for supervisors. ”

There was a white hard hat in the box that was more conspicuous, Fang Xu picked it up, and forcefully slammed the hard hats of several colors one by one, the red one was concave with a small pit, the blue one only had a mark, and the yellow one was broken in half.

Take out the inner lining of the white hard hat, shake off the ash on it, and put it back on, "This quality is the best, it should be the leader." It should be much safer to wear! ”

Wearing a hard hat, Fang Xu slapped the top of his head twice with his hand, "The shock absorption performance is good." ”

Rusty iron nails and steel bars are scattered on the pitted treadboards, and if you are not careful, it is easy for people to trip and pierce the soles of your shoes.

Fang Xu took a few steps up, and suddenly there was a sound of "Sla" under his feet, and he looked down at his mobile phone, and found that the upper of the shoe was broken by an iron wire embedded in the pedal board, and the white socks inside were clearly visible, if the hook was a little deeper, there would definitely be blood, "No wonder it is not strange to say that wearing shoes first and then wearing socks is not strange on the construction site, I only walked six steps, that's all." ”

Fang Xu walked to the corner platform of the staircase, looked back, and always felt that this staircase was weird, so he counted it, nine steps. There are two flights of stairs, adding up to exactly eighteen steps.

In the countryside, people attach great importance to the number of steps of the stairs in building a house, and the eighteen steps mean the eighteen hells, which is very unlucky, and it is absolutely impossible to do!

"This designer is a novice, isn't he?"

Fang Xu walked to the second floor and found that the left side had been blocked by scrap materials, so he started from the right side first.

Walk to the room on the right against the staircase, "8204, if you want to send it, don't leave 8." This should be the house number made up by the construction team themselves, right? ”

"The doors and windows are on the same side, what age is there still this design?" Looking at the bolts on all sides of the door, "It's weird, is it useful to have this thing outside the door?" ”

When I opened the door, I found that the inside was much cleaner than the outside, and behind it was a shear wall, and in front of the wall was a simple desk nailed with wooden planks, and a bowl on it.

"It's strange, such a bowl of ash is so full, and the ash on the ground is not so thick!"

Fang Xu was curious, and took his mobile phone closer, "Damn, so many incense heads!" Could it be that they used to burn incense when they went to work every day? I've seen incense burned at the construction site, but I've never heard of this situation. ”

What Fang Xu said in his mouth is not unusual, even in Pengcheng, which has the most developed coastal economy, most of the industrial zones have the God of Wealth Land Temple and Guan Gong statue at the door, and on special days, the incense is very prosperous.

"Which kind of gods do they worship?" Fang Xu shone his mobile phone flashlight on the wall, and found that there were no portraits of gods and immortals on the wall, except for a few layers of cement oil smeared on the wall compared to other earthworks.

"This should be wiped for the purpose of hanging the idol, is it that after a long time, the idol has rotted?"

Fang Xu shone the light on the wall, "There is no confetti!" ”

"Forget it, let's go to another room."

It took more than ten minutes, Fang Xu checked the other rooms, and found no trace of Hao Jian and the specimens, he came to the left, tried several times but failed to pass the waste pile, and these waste materials were stacked in a very irregular manner, feeling that it would fall at any time.

"It's easy and then it's hard, and if you can't find them in the whole building, come here again."

The stairs from the second floor to the third floor are even more messy, in addition to iron nails and waste steel bars, there are also some small wooden blocks stacked on the step boards. ”

Fang Xu's left hand rested on the handrail of the temporary staircase built with steel pipes, shook it a few times, and it was still firm, so he grabbed the handrail and walked carefully to the third floor.

There was no clutter in the outer corridor on the third floor, and Fang Xu quickly searched the room on the left, but there was no result either. Coming to the right, the first room was actually locked, Fang Xu touched the lock with his finger, "So much ash, it shouldn't have been opened for a long time, no need to look for it!" “

As soon as his hand was released, the lock fell to the ground, just as a gust of cold wind blew, the door creaked open, and a person was photocopied into Fang Xu's eyes.
