"Bang, bang!" In addition to the previous scraping sound, the sound transmitted to Liang Xue's room was accompanied by the terrifying sound of objects being torn apart.

Liang Xue had a strange look in his eyes, because he usually watched some American bloody movies, such as "Chainsaw", "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", etc., and immediately thought of the scene in the movie after hearing this voice.

"Is our room across the kitchen? No, the sound came from the old man's room next door."

At the same time, the sound was naturally heard by Mu Jie, who was lying on the bed and wrapped in a warm futon.

"Knot, I'll go out and see what's going on."

Liang Xue put his coat over his shirt and carefully opened the door. Who knows that as soon as the door of his room opens, this strange sound is even louder and clearer, and can even make up the picture that is going on in the room immediately.

"This old man travels alone, and lives alone in the VIP room, judging from the way he dresses, he should be a lonely old man with a lot of property. Could it be that the twenty-year-old man I saw on the deck just now learned about the old man's situation and had the idea of killing people and taking money germinated in his heart?"

Liang Xue was stunned by the terrible thought that came to his head, and the strange thing was that the corridor of the VIP room was completely echoed by this terrifying sound, but none of the ship's security personnel or flight attendants rushed to hear the sound.

Liang Xue's head is still relatively clear at this moment, and he is also very clear in his heart that if he hits the door and faces the murderer with the murder weapon. Not only can you not help, but you may be killed.

"I'll have to find someone first, I remember there's a security room upstairs."

Liang Xue walked lightly towards the side of the corridor. Upon arrival in the security room, he immediately showed his ID and reported to the staff with a stern face that he had heard an unusual sound and inference. The staff still trusted the Chinese guy in front of him who could speak fluent Japanese, and came to the door of the old man in the VIP room with the spare magnetic card in the old man's room.

However, by this time, the terrifying sound inside had disappeared.

"Knock knock! Anyone, please?" The security personnel asked loudly while knocking on the door, but there was no movement for a long time, and the security personnel had doubts in their hearts, and they opened the guest's room without permission but there was a risk of being reported by the other party. But if it's really as the Chinese guy next to him said, there has been a horrific murder. Then my job as a security guard must be gone.

However, in desperation, the security personnel took the magnetic card in their hands.

"Click!" The magnetic card has not been drawn yet. Suddenly, the door opened on its own, but the opening was only the size of a man's head.

The head of a terrifying old man suddenly stretched out as the two of them were dumbfounded, staring at the security guards and Liang Xue outside the door. This time the old man was not wearing a hat, and his wrinkled head was pitted and hung with a few strands of thin white hair. Deep sunken inside the eye sockets. It's still the same amber eyes, and the pupils seem to be smaller than the last time.

Not only Liang Xue, but also the security personnel around him were taken aback.

After the security staff took the VIP registration card and compared it with the old man, he asked some simple questions and left with peace of mind.

And Liang Xue stood in place, his head was filial, and the terrifying voice just now was still echoing in his mind. However, when the old man closed the door, Liang Xue noticed that a small black reptile crawled out of his eyes, and then burrowed into the old man's mouth, and was swallowed into his stomach with a stir in his neck.

Liang Xue, who returned to his room, was worried. The danger to this old man was raised above the cordon.

"Knot, did you hear the voice just now?"

"Well, what's going on outside my husband?"

"Nothing. We had to pay more attention to the old gentleman during the two days and two nights on the cruise, and try not to come into contact with him."

"I've seen it a long time ago, that man must be an old pervert."

"Don't say that, after all, we didn't see anything, it was just my guess. In short, to be on the safe side, try not to appear in the same scene as the old man. When you get back to your room, lock the door immediately."

Liang Xueyi grabbed the straw doll at the head of the bed and walked quickly to the window. There's a big plastic sign on the wall." It is forbidden to throw objects into the sea." Liang Xue didn't hesitate at all, opened the window and threw the grass doll out. The uneasiness in my heart was slightly reduced.

Time flies quickly on the cruise ship, and the window is always the same vast sea, except for the sun on the horizon gradually setting in the west, in exchange for a bright moon.

The luxury cruise ship at night is even more gorgeous, like a palace on the sea, and most passengers enjoy the beautiful time at sea in the entertainment area.

The entertainment area of the cruise ship is open all night, but Liang Xue and his wife returned to their room at nine o'clock in the evening to enjoy the sweet time between the two, during which Liang Xue has not seen the old man, so that the melancholy in his heart has faded a lot.

Back in the room, the two first played around in bed, and then hugged each other. Liang Xue took out a book with a yellow color and no cover from the suitcase, turned on the reading lamp on the top of the bed, and began to study it seriously.

"Husband, you're reading this book again."

"I just like these ancient Chinese cultures, this is one of the many ancient books handed down by my ancestors. I'm the only one I'm interested in this book about ghosts and gods, and you don't know it, I usually like to look at supernatural things in my spare time to pass the time."

Na Mu Jie is not interested in the theory of ghosts and gods at all, in her heart these are feudal superstitions or boys. [,！ ] to pick up the plane to protect the girl's excuse.

Mu Jie loves her husband very much, and her love for the house and Wu will naturally change a little, lying on Liang Xue's shoulder and looking at the yellowed book in his hand.

"Huh! It's so disgusting."

Mu Jie saw an illustration from an ancient book, which depicted a horrific corpse dressed in Qing Dynasty official uniforms, with rotten limbs and sharp teeth.

"You're still a Hunan girl, don't you know about zombies? I've heard a long time ago that you have some Xiangxi corpses there, and when I have time to go to your house, I will definitely go to Xiangxi to have a look."

"I don't like this kind of thing, how can I know...... I'm bored, and since you like it, tell me a little bit about zombies." Mu Jie opened his mouth and bit Liang Xue's ear lightly.

"Okay, okay, can't I tell you? Wife, don't bite."

Liang Xue pointed to the words on the ancient book and read: "The earliest origin of the zombie legend originated from the daughter of the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor - Nulu, only because Chiyou gave a curse, so it became a zombie, and originally zombies did not need to suck human blood. Because there is too little aura in heaven and earth, and man is the spirit of all things, he has to suck blood."

Later, there are also relevant records in the Taoist "Daqianlu", which describes zombies as stiff limbs, not low heads, and not slanted eyes. The legs are not divided, and the corpses do not decompose. It should also be like this."

"In fact, most of the legends about zombies are due to people's nostalgia for the dead and the idea of bringing the deceased back to life, and of course, there are also ancient kings who found a different way to find a way to live forever."

Liang Xue's narration is very old gentleman's flavor, which can't help but make Mu Jie a little curious about zombies.

"Huh? Are there any real zombies in the world?"

"It's a complicated question, like if you ask someone if there are any ghosts in the world. It's just that when I was a kid when I was exposed to this stuff, I also asked a junior about whether zombies exist or not."

"The answers given by the elders are very vague, my grandfather once told me personally that he had seen zombies. Unfortunately, I was too young at the time, and by the time I wanted to delve deeper into this issue, my grandfather had already passed away. Immediately after that, I heard the rumors of your Hunan side of Xiangxi chasing corpses, as early as a hundred years ago, it seems that there was a real thing, and many records about that time no longer exist, and today's corpses are nothing more than following this talk of chasing corpses to attract foreign tourists and develop tourism."

"But it can't be ruled out that the fact that the corpse is driven out, maybe there are still many people in the know in Xiangxi."

"Naturally, I've done a lot of research on it. The corpse is also called the soul transfer, the guest death of the person in the foreign land, the corpse warlock in the corpse is not corrupted by the warlock rushed back to the hometown for burial, the rope tied to the corpse, every few feet one, and then the forehead pasted yellow paper symbols, the other will play the gong bell to open the way, day and night. Throw the stack in front of the light, lift the rune paper, and the corpse will stand against the wall, and continue to hurry at night."

Mu Jie listened with relish, imagining the scene of several corpses acting on talisman paper at night, which was particularly terrifying.

"Husband, I want to ask. Why do you want to walk at night and rest during the day? Is it because I'm afraid of scaring other people during the day?"

"It's not, in Feng Shui, zombies belong to yin, things that go to yin, and light belongs to yang, things that go to yang. Yin and yang are incompatible. If exposed to sunlight, the body will collapse and disintegrate due to the invasion of yang energy."

"Wow, husband, you're amazing, you know all this."

Liang Xue scratched his head and said with a smile: "Amateur knowledge only. However, the folk actually have a saying about raising corpses, and it is very in line with science, the corpse keepers will transform the land on one side, so that the pH of the soil is extremely unbalanced, not suitable for the growth of organic matter, so it will not breed ants and bacteria, and the corpse will not rot even if it is buried for more than a hundred years. There are even some sources that show that the hair and nails of the corpse will continue to grow. This kind of land is called corpse farm, but it's a bit of a stretch to make it possible for corpses to act like zombies."

"The next time I meet you in Hunan, how about the two of us go to Xiangxi for a small tour, just to feel the local cultural atmosphere."

"Eun."

After Mu Jie answered obediently, he went to the bathroom to take a shower and change into pajamas before Liang Xue fell asleep.

Liang Xue, who was worried about today's strange things, was not sleepy, and studied the ancient books carefully. However, unconsciously, Liang Xue didn't feel anything, and his eyelids fell off and he fell asleep.

"Squeak!" At midnight, the scraping sound sounded again. However, when Liang Xue, who was leaning on the head of the bed, woke up, his wife, who was originally sleeping next to him, had disappeared, and was replaced by a grass doll that was thrown overseas by himself in the afternoon.
