Chapter 1 Have You Ever Felt Hopeless?
Hanwu is the provincial capital with a well-developed education industry and the city with the most first-class medical resources in the country. In this city, there are so many college students that they are worthless, and the difference between wages and price levels is touching, as if it doesn't matter who is missing. But when it comes to tragedy, the suicide of college students in the new era is still an unacceptable fact for many families.
Over the years, whether it is news or reports, Xu Yunge has seen many different obituaries, but he never thought that the shadow of death would suddenly fall on him.
Like many people, he just felt that his body was sometimes sore and unbearable, thinking that he was working overtime, his body was a little tired, and he needed to take a good vacation.
As a result, the company organized a physical examination, and the health report was sealed and sent to the personnel department, and when he opened it, Xu Yunge knew that something had happened to him: the unknown shadow masses scattered all over his body were the real reason for his recent physical discomfort.
Shocked, frightened, and uneasy, with a hint of luck, he quietly asked others if it was true and whether there was a chance to save themselves. Until the hospital called and suggested that Xu Yunge go for a re-examination, the company that inquired about his condition immediately began to try to lose the pot. It didn't take long for Xu Yunge to be "voluntarily resigned through friendly negotiation between the two parties".
When he started to treat the disease, it was not enough to lose all the hard-earned money earned from his work, and the statement of the insurance limit made Xu Yunge, who had not carefully studied medical insurance, stunned on the spot. If he can't pay the medical bills and watch his body lying on the bed day by day get sores and rot, it will really be more terrifying than jumping off the building.
Hospitals are not a good place, and the air is filled with the smell of disinfectant and other medicines, and sometimes, you can even smell the strange smell of other patients. Seeing patients from all over the world being judged by doctors here, they either leave behind life regrets and unfulfilled dreams and leave them, or they are so tormented that they smash pots and sell iron, and they are so poor that they can barely hold on to their lives. In such an environment full of negative consciousness, it is very easy to have a mental breakdown if you are hospitalized alone for too long.
In recent days, the atmosphere in the hospital has taken a turn for the worse, and rumors of the haunting of Taiping Town have caused panic. Every night, the doctor on duty does not dare to wander around the hospital casually. Speaking of the rumors of the haunting, Xu Yunge's eyes were a little sloppy, he looked at the black and red charm in his hand, and remembered what happened that night.
There is a terrifying legend in the city: those who meet ghosts can ask for a curse from the evil ghost by chance, and enter a terrifying urban legend with the curse.
Survivors who successfully complete the game and survive can inspire great luck in life and soar to the sky.
If you fail, you will never be able to get rid of hell. For the act of coveting the power of ghosts and gods, pay an incomparably terrifying price.
A few days ago, Xu Yunge met a ghost by chance and accidentally got this curse charm.
It's not so much a coincidence as a nightmare. If it weren't for being cornered, Xu Yunge wouldn't want to provoke those unknown existences.
That night, Xu Yunge, who was lying in the ward, was so painful that he couldn't sleep. At that time, his physical strength was good, and there was no postoperative wound for the time being, so he quietly left the ward and wandered around the hospital at midnight with empty eyes.
Supporting the body and moving as much as possible will make Xu Yunge feel a little better. In fact, like many patients, he has been worn by the pain for too long, feeling at a loss for life and numb to death. To be honest, Xu Yunge thought about suicide, some diseases are really not something ordinary people can bear, and it is really painful to live.
Life is known, and death is unknown, the unknown is the source of human fear, Xu Yunge is still afraid of death. I don't know if it's a person who is about to die, and his mind will become particularly superstitious: many people think about the world after death, there is a soul and reincarnation, and the reincarnation of people starts again, as if it is also a self-deceptive person who comforts.
At the end of the day, I'm still afraid of death.
But Xu Yunge never expected that during that time, his superstitious thoughts were surging, and he read horror stories frantically, but in the end, he really witnessed the appearance of horror legends!
Xu Yunge was walking in the hospital that night, but suddenly heard movement in the morgue. He has seen a lot of ghost stories, and his brain has made up all kinds of scenes, afraid that he will accidentally encounter a life-seeking ghost. But when I thought that I would have such a day sooner or later, I had some strange curiosity in my heart, and I couldn't help but quietly approach the door and listen to the movement inside.
In the morgue, someone was chanting a mantra, and the spell was vague, as if asking for a conversation, as if it were whispering a plea.
Xu Yunge was scared in his heart, he was still very young, and he left like this without realizing all the promises and dreams he had promised, and he was extremely unwilling. But if he really wanted to touch the ghost of the forbidden legend, he was so frightened that he was chilled, and he stood at the door of the morgue, unable to take another step inside.
The lights in the hospital corridors also seem to have turned into a cool green hue at midnight. Xu Yunge's eyes fell on the door of the morgue, and unfamiliar palm prints appeared, and I don't know how many people had stood in front of the door and cried bitterly. I saw my loved ones for the last time, and I still have to leave in the end.
Just as Xu Yunge was trying to muster up the courage and push open the door to find out, there was a hissing sound of fingers scraping ice slag in the refrigerator.
This chilling sound drilled into Xu Yunge's bones like a worm inch by inch, causing him to freeze in place. The sound was getting closer and closer, and on the iron door of the morgue, the degree of visibility to the naked eye, a piercing chill imprinted a humanoid silhouette on the door.
And when Xu Yunge wanted to retreat, an extremely cold and almost frozen corpse rushed out of the morgue, ragged, eyes bulging out of despair, and his claws grabbed his shoulders. He was shocked and struggled with all his might, the frozen corpse was extremely weird, like crystal clear skinless bacon, inch by inch of bright red muscles were completely exposed, it didn't even have lips, a pair of blood-dripping eye sockets that had lost their eyeballs, and let out a silent sorrow and scream at Xu Yunge.
Xu Yunge was completely frightened, and at that moment he realized that when fear broke out, trembling and stiffening his body and not obeying the call, he was the most desperate.
In the hallway, there was a sudden sound of high heels.
The frozen corpse was struck by lightning, and there was a scream, and the sound of steel chains and ice coffins closing in the wind swelled.
A cold sweat almost froze, Xu Yunge was frightened and in a daze, for a long time, his weak heartbeat brought him back to reality. Holding on to the wall, he limped back to the hospital room with his chest clutched, but the ghostly cries in the hallway came again.
The corpse broke in, and it seemed that he was going to kill him, and Xu Yunge was cornered. The body instinctively dodged a pounce, banged on the bedside alarm button for help but did not respond, and the other patients were as if they were asleep, and he could only use the fork of the infusion stand to desperately press against the corpse's neck.
While the corpse was struggling, Xu Yunge suddenly saw a charm attached to the other party's tongue, and through the outline of the frozen corpse, the stiff and tense faces faced each other.
A trace of black mist poured into his seven orifices, making Xu Yunge suddenly not so afraid, but remembered the terrifying urban legends he had seen at the beginning.
Won, change your life against the sky. If you lose, you will die violently!
It's better to die than to live, Xu Yunge was ruthless in his heart, stretched out his hand and pulled out the spell, the corpse screamed, was wrapped in the chains of the yin wind and dragged back, and never appeared again.
At dawn, it was like a nightmare when I was frightened last night, and no one remembered who I asked, but the charm was left in Xu Yun Singer.
In addition to the thrill, it reminded him of those strange and terrifying urban legends, and when all this really happened to him, his three views couldn't help but be a little shaken. Gradually, Xu Yunge thought of the fate he was about to face, and his mood fell into a low ebb again.
Cancer, which is often associated with death and suffering, is a huge cost of torture and cruelty, and patients need to endure the process of capital punishment, trying to maintain a strong will to hope that they can live, as long as they can hold on to that breath, it seems that they can really live longer than expected.
Cancer in this era, in a sense, can be cured, extending the life expectancy of patients to only slightly less than normal people, and to some extent, as long as they are conservative, they can live a peaceful life like normal people.
Smiling on the surface, but in fact, there is pain behind the scenes, afraid of the patient giving up, and also afraid of giving up, the best result is to wait until a miracle happens, and the most common outcome is ...... Can't afford it. If you don't have money, you don't deserve to live.
That's all.
After all, everyone is so dead, sick, without money, borrowing money hit a wall, loans fail, asking for help and donations have not passed the review, and they fall on the road. To sum up, cancer is almost a standard process of death, as if the patient can pass away naturally after doing these things.
It was the golden autumn season of October, but Xu Yunge was much thinner than in the previous months. Looking at the hot-blooded sunshine basketball young man in the photo, now he is just a walking corpse that has been drained of nutrients by cancer cells, hollowed out of bone marrow, and relying on willpower to survive.
Xu Yunge didn't want to die, he hadn't tasted the happiness of life a few years after he graduated, but he suddenly encountered such despair. He resented the injustice of God, scolded the cruelty of fate, wanted to give up everything irritablely, and didn't want to suffer for a hundred years, but after everything subsided, he still didn't want to die in his heart.
Turning on the phone, disgust and hatred appeared on Xu Yunge's face, but he still had to say that even if no one in this world had expectations for him, he still wanted to live for his dreams. Try to adjust your tone and try to keep your voice as smooth as possible.
"Auntie, I'm really sick, very sick and need a lot of money."
On the other end of the phone, there was the surging sound of mahjong, and the ensuing scolding.
"I want money again! Ask for money again! My sister married into your Xu family, she has never had a good life, your father died of illness, my sister was dragged to death by your father, if it weren't for the fear that my sister would be pitiful and leave nothing left in her life, I wouldn't want to take you in! ”
"What a piece of rubbish! I didn't even get a driver's license! I drove and encountered a random ticket, the score is not enough to deduct and beg people everywhere, if you are not so wasteful, I would be so embarrassed! Last time, too, I want you to take out your ID card to give us a loan, and give you a down payment for a small villa, the name is in our name, and we can live together as a family as soon as we decorate, do you know how much it costs for me to drive to work every day to pick up your brother? ! ”
"You don't agree to eat the waste inside and out, you can't get a loan if you lose your ID card, you can't get a loan, and now the house price has risen so much, can you afford it in a few years! The people of your Xu family are really useless and stinky, you want money? No way! ”
Xu Yunge held back the evil fire in his heart, and retorted word by word: "You took all the inheritance of my parents, and you raised me like this?" Do you believe it or not, I'm suing you? ”
"You're 25 years old, and foreign boys have long been kicked out to live alone as soon as they reach adulthood! When you were 10 years old, you came to our house, and didn't it cost you to study, eat and drink? I still don't count your interest on my sister's face! Sue me! You just sue! I chose a house for your brother with all the money, and if you don't have any money, you will die, and you will kill our whole family! ”
"You evil spirit, you just died well! I'm sick to death, I'm angry with you, I beg you to die quickly! Our whole family is happy when you die, I would rather give you 50,000 yuan for a funeral, and I will never take 5,000 yuan for your treatment, you should die as soon as possible! ”
The call was interrupted, Xu Yunge was trembling with anger, but he was helpless. No money is stumped for heroes, which is ridiculous and terrifying.
My parents' estate and deed were normally transferred to my aunt's house more than ten years ago. At that time, Xu Yunge only felt that her aunt was very strict, and she beat him at every turn, but she didn't expect that after so many years, she became more and more lazy to hide her hatred for herself, she was simply a snarky and mean person who didn't recognize her relatives. Person.
Not only took his parents' inheritance, but even the only child subsidy she handled at the beginning, a small amount of dozens of yuan, she had to be greedy to play mahjong in her hand, and when she won the money, she proudly said that she was superb in cards, and when she lost the money, she beat Xu Yunge with high heels, and all kinds of grievances were sprinkled on him.
It is precisely like this, as soon as Xu Yunge graduated from college, he immediately came out to work and live independently, and never went back from that nightmare, but this sudden blow of terminal illness made him have to try his best to find a way to survive, but in the end, the patient without the support of his family could not escape death.
I want to kill her and kill her whole family......
However, killing is a crime, and killing is a prison sentence, and I can't ......
Is there any lawful homicide within the scope of the law......
Is there any hateful retaliation that is not punished by law......
Do I have a chance to live, or do I just die with their family......
Xu Yunge's face was hideous and constantly distorted, and all kinds of dark negative consciousness kept pouring out of his mind. He wanted to kill people more than once, wanted to kill himself, and wanted to destroy all this hypocrisy and disgust, but these thoughts were eventually swallowed back into the depths of his brain.
It wasn't until the doctor pushed open the door and gave Xu Yunge an ultimatum with the test report that he quietly put away the curse charm and quietly waited for the fate.
"Your physical condition is already very bad, and if you can't maintain the treatment, and you don't have a dedicated nutritionist to help you take care of it, you can see for yourself how the cancer cells are distributed. If you leave the hospital now, you may not survive more than a week, and as a doctor, I really strongly recommend that you stay in the hospital and find a way to collect social donations. ”
Xu Yunge told the doctor that he had no money and could not perform the operation, and that his guardian did not support him to live, so it was useless to say anything.
I don't know if it's the fear of death, or the realization of witnessing ghosts. Thinking of the miracle of curse charms and terrifying legends, Xu Yunge simply left the hospital.
As he walked down the road, his emotional thinking was still very confused. The emotional impulse told him that he was going to die anyway, so he simply detonated all this, killed her for a hundred, lived a cool life in the world, and died of addiction, no matter what it shot or not, Lao Tzu was going to die horizontally and vertically, and I was afraid of you as a bird!
But the judgment of reason told him, no, he must live, he will be ruined if he kills people indiscriminately, and he must justifiably take back everything he has lost! Not only to cure the disease, but also to become stronger, to live better and happier than their family, and to become an existence that they can never touch.
Looking at the recordings on the phone that could be used as evidence, Xu Yunge smiled coldly, Auntie, you only care about yourself, you want me to die, don't think about it. The desperate self can't manage so much, even if it's a curse, you have to give it a try. Because the lawsuit requires money, he can't afford it at all with his physical condition.
By the time the lawyer who accepted the evidence intervened, Xu Yunge might have been cold. He thought that his aunt would symbolically give some money to send away, but he didn't expect that today she had completely torn her face and was unreasonable. Now my aunt is looking forward to his death, and she doesn't have much salary savings in hand, and she is lying in the hospital and suffering at least 1,000 yuan a day, so it is better to fight hard.
What if it works? Curses can resurrect corpses, and maybe you can meet urban legends too?
Xu Yunge knew that he was a little crazy, but he didn't mind, he remembered that the father of a patient knelt down to the bank manager and begged for a loan of 100,000 yuan, and the bank manager sneered and rejected him: "You checked your own credit sign, it is because you are a loan for treatment that I won't give you!" If you take out a loan to do business, buy a house and buy a car, it's almost the same, and you are reluctant to pay dozens of yuan for medical insurance when you are not sick? Now take out a loan to treat the sick and pretend to be pitiful? I think you're thinking beautifully! Get out of here! ”
That day, a middle-aged man knelt at the door of the bank and knocked his head, many passers-by watched the shooting, and the bank did not let go in the end. After all, banks are profit-making departments, and it is almost impossible for lenders to guarantee that they will be able to repay, and if every patient does this, a customer will lose hundreds of thousands of millions, not to mention absorbing deposits, and if there is no collateral auction, the bank will collapse after a long time, and it is impossible to give mercy to anyone.
The state does not allow banks to lose money.
I knew that I was going to die, but now I saw it more clearly. Coming to his senses again, Xu Yunge clenched his fists, maybe the world itself is cannibalism. It's true? Fake? He didn't care for a long time, and when he died, there was nothing.
casually found an Internet café for the night, and when he came to the toilet, Xu Yunge pinched the black and red charm, recalling the strange whispers he heard in the morgue. Remembering the interrogating dialogue he had heard in his nightmare, he pulled out his lighter and lit the charm, which instantly turned into a foul of ash in the crimson flames.
Xu Yunge carefully put the ashes in the water bowl, added a small amount of water, and the ashes of the spell immediately became as thick and strange as blood water.
According to urban legend, when a living person encounters a ghost, he can burn a yin object at midnight to ask the ghost for a curse. If successful, the curse can be used to grant various wishes. Repeated in a low voice a total of three times, Xu Yunge suddenly felt that it was dark all around, and at the critical moment, there was a burst of crying father and mother's power outage scolding from the Internet café.
His heart was pounding, Xu Yunge secretly said sorry, he learned the whispers he heard in the nightmare of frozen corpses, but he didn't expect it to be successful! The legend came true, he didn't dare to open his eyes, only felt the cold water bowl boiling in front of him, and some kind of foul and cold wind blew the bathroom baffle constantly.
In the midst of this foul smelling wind, clear and strange footsteps of leather shoes crept to the door of the compartment. At this moment, fear is meaningless, and instead of being sick and dying, it is better to try to get in touch with the unknown world......
"Am I as light as a ghost?"
"Yes." Xu Yunge replied in his heart.
"Shall I walk with you day and night?"
"Yes."
"Do I have the same face as you?"
"Yes......"
His voice became more and more distorted and vicious, and Xu Yunge knew that he could not stop the ritual, and he knew that he was about to come into contact with the world of urban horror legends. A dying man coincidentally tries to use the power of ghosts and gods to change his life, but this does not mean that he has the initiative to manipulate evil spirits. He has only attracted evil spirits, so that they can grant his wishes while placing a curse on him that can never be escaped.
"Do you know what I am?"
"Curse me and make me your kind!" Xu Yunge imitated what he saw in his dream and replied in his heart. Suddenly, the door panel of the bathroom was knocked open, and even with his eyes closed, he could still feel a red ghost figure standing in front of him, and the stench and bloody cold aura continued to penetrate from the seven orifices, covering all the pain on Xu Yunge's body.
It wasn't until a long time that the demon seemed satisfied, and Xu Yunge let out a long breath. The gloom dissipated, and a burst of cheers and scolding announced that the power supply of the Internet café was restored, Xu Yunge opened his eyes, and the floor of the bathroom was covered with soy sauce-like stains, and he didn't know what was standing at the door.
But the matter has come to this, this is Xu Yunge's self-inflicted terrifying trouble, he refuses to accept his fate of dying of illness, so he can only embark on a desperate road to the terrifying world. After inhaling the black mist, Xu Yunge's ears rang, as if a villain was talking, and when he closed his eyes, he saw the mysterious symbols and words suspended in his mind.

"It turns out that a curse can really save people's lives, could it be that the corpse is alive like this? Wait, how is my wisdom negative? ”
"How the hell is the horror legend going to begin, will I travel to another world?"
Xu Yunge looked at the mirror in front of the sink, and suddenly, he saw the door of the bathroom next door open silently, and a person who looked exactly like him rushed out. Caught off guard, a punch hit him in the face, and in an instant, the sky was spinning, Xu Yunge lost consciousness, and the whole person disappeared in vain in the Internet café toilet.
