Chapter 14: Fortune telling
The underworld I imagined would not be a clichΓ© in horror novels.
Gremlin? Lord Yama? These are fairy tales that deceive children.
The real underworld is definitely beyond human imagination.
Just thinking about it, the mobile phone rang, I felt it out and looked, it turned out to be Uncle Wang and his wife calling:
"Bai Hui, Lao Wang...... Passed away! On the phone, Aunt Wang's tone was sad.
What the? I was shocked and said in a trembling voice:
"Impossible, right? I just met Uncle Wang not long ago! β
I only met Uncle Wang before, and although he looks a little wrong, at least he is fine!
How do you say that death is death?
Holding my breath, I asked Uncle Wang about the cause of death on the phone, but Aunt Wang replied:
"I can't tell you on the phone, you come to the crematorium first! Let's meet! β
Hanging up the phone, I stood stunned in place, and the cold hairs all over my body exploded!
When we met before, the layer of snake scales on Uncle Wang's neck, I still see it clearly, could it be that Uncle Wang's death is related to those snake scales?
To put it this way...... Am I going to be next?
On the way to the crematorium, I lifted my shirt and looked at it, only to see the snake scales on my navel looming, although it has not changed from yesterday, I always feel ...... It's growing slowly!
The car was bumping on the road, and the panic in my heart grew like weeds!
That's right, Uncle Wang is not a good person, since he became blind at the age of 13, I have to work for him for more than ten hours a day, not to mention half of his salary, and he rarely even eats.
But anyway, my massage skills were taught by Uncle Wang, which made me a little sad.
The crematorium is not very far from the nightclub, and it takes ten minutes by car.
The place is located in the far suburbs, there are not even a single tree in sight of the surrounding area, and the crematorium is at the end of the road.
On the broken iron door, there is a rusty signboard:
"Please come to the crematorium again"
This sign makes the soles of my feet feel cold! I really didn't expect there to be people in the world...... Name the crematorium?
How to read it, these six words are unspeakably gloomy!
At the bottom of the signboard, there is another advertising slogan:
"Come on! We're sending you to Hades! β
β¦β¦
Glancing at the sign with fear, I gritted my teeth and walked into the crematorium.
Maybe it's because the location is too remote, and the name is really unknown, so the crematorium business shouldn't be good.
After walking along the concrete road for a long time, I could not see the shadow of a living creature.
The ghost place is swishing, and walking in in broad daylight makes me feel weirdly cold, and if I come here at night, I guess it will scare me to death.
The further I went, the more I felt ...... Finally, a swarthy building appeared in front of me, and three words were written in red pen on it:
"Morgue"!
I saw Aunt Wang standing at the door of the morgue and beckoned to me.
It's strange, Uncle Wang has a lot of family, why did Aunt Wang come today?
I saw from afar that Aunt Wang's face was a little gray, and she didn't seem to have rested well.
After meeting, after some conversation, I learned that the cause of Uncle Wang's death was a little strange.
When I went to bed in the middle of the night, Uncle Wang suddenly sat up straight from the bed as if he was in a nightmare, and shouted the word "snake" three times in his mouth!
At that time, Sister-in-law Wang was in a daze, and she didn't care too much, but she didn't expect to open her eyes the next morning and see Uncle Wang out of breath.
"When I woke up, I felt that my body was slippery and greasy, and I saw dozens of small snakes crawling on the bed......"
"Moreover, they all came out of the mouth of the old king! And at that time, Lao Wang would have died a long time ago! β
After listening to Aunt Wang's words, I suddenly felt a chill in my heart!
"Auntie, I want to see Uncle Wang!"
When the words fell, Aunt Wang looked at me puzzled:
"Bai Hui, ...... your eyes?"
With a dry laugh, I said my eye was cured! Aunt Wang hummed and didn't ask any more.
"He's in the morgue, go and see! I'm not going in! β
When I said this, I heard Aunt Wang's tone tremble a little.
I didn't think much of it at the time, but when I walked into the morgue, I saw a large row of freezers inside.
In the middle of the open space is a bed that resembles an operating table.
The ceiling lights flickered on and off, and the silence in the morgue was terrifying!
The place was filled with the terrifying smell of death, and there was a pungent smell of formalin potions in the air.
Suppressing the panic in my heart, I looked towards the row of freezers, and saw that each cabinet door had a corresponding number.
What cabinet is Uncle Wang in?
Just when I was at a loss, a hoarse voice suddenly came from behind me:
"Which are you looking for?"
It was a disheveled old woman, tall in a dirty black coat, with small and pointed feet, and a pair of floral cloth shoes on her feet.
The old woman asked me with her head down, her face covered by her long hair, and she couldn't see her expression at all.
I shuddered to report Uncle Wang's full name, and I saw the old woman laugh sharply, pointing to the door of the No. 4 cabinet and saying:
"He's inside, open it yourself!"
With that, the old woman turned around and went to another room.
Do you want me to open the cabinet door myself? I was scared.
But they all came, and they didn't look at Uncle Wang...... How can I be reconciled? Gritting my teeth, I reached out and pulled on the freezer.
With a "squeak", the door of cabinet No. 4 was opened, and inside was a wooden board similar to a drawer, and Uncle Wang's body was lying on that wooden board.
The corpse was shrouded in cold air, and it was dark and cold inside, and it was completely impossible to see Uncle Wang's appearance.
I took a deep breath and jerked the drawer out!
Next, I saw a strange picture!
Uncle Wang was lying upright on the wooden plank, his face pale!
What's even more terrifying is that his eyes are wide open, and his mouth is even more like being pried open by a stick. Even the corners of the mouth are torn!
These are nothing, and the next thing I saw was that Uncle Wang's entire lips disappeared as if they had been gnawed off by something!
The horror of this picture is indescribable, seeing Uncle Wang's pair of miserable white eyes, my scalp exploded violently, and I almost collapsed to the ground!
The pupil constricted into a vertical line, like a snake's eyes!
Under my eyes, my bloody mouth opened wide, as if he wanted to say something to me.
At that time, when I saw Uncle Wang's appearance, the whole person was so frightened that he was about to run out! Something suddenly occurred to me again.
The corpse was covered with a white cloth, and I boldly walked over and lifted it......
Snake Scales...... Countless snake scales densely covered Uncle Wang's body!
Except for her face, her whole body was covered in snake scales, which reflected a miserable white light under the illumination of the light......
I'm X! The moment I saw these snake scales, I turned around and ran out!
Who would have thought that the eccentric old woman before would be in front of the door at this time! Don't let me out!
Behind me was Uncle Wang's corpse covered with snake scales, and the old woman in front of me was looking at me with her head down.
Just when I was frightened out of my body, I saw the old woman speak:
"Don't be afraid, little doll! By the time I'm done putting makeup on the corpse, he'll be less scary! β
When this old woman spoke, her tone was high and low, and her tone was swishing, which was even more terrifying than a ghost! I can hear my legs swinging!
I shuddered, and replied, "Are you...... Cadaver makeup artist? β
The old woman stretched out her withered arm, parted the hair from her face, and said in a dark voice:
"What? I'm not like it, huh? β
In the light, I saw the old woman's wrinkled face, and two eyes staring at me!
I've never seen such horrible eyes! The old woman's eyes were filled with gloom and resentment! And what's even more penetrating is that her eyes are pitch black, and her pupils occupy all positions, and she can't even see a trace of the whites of her eyes!
This old woman...... Is it a human or a ghost?
When I showed her at the time, goosebumps stood all over my body, and I felt that the horror of the old woman was even more terrifying than the corpse behind her!
"Bang!" With a bang, the old woman slammed the door of the morgue shut! Then he grinned and approached me!
"Don't come...... What do you want? "I'm almost out of breath with fear!
After taking a few steps back, my body bumped into the corpse behind me!
Finished! I have no way back! But the old woman was still approaching, and when she came up to me, the old woman's two dark eyes kept rolling, and after looking me up and down, she said:
"The old woman wants to tell your fortune!"
As she spoke, she didn't care if I agreed or not, she suddenly reached out and touched my forehead, and then quickly retracted!
"You were hit by a train as a kid!"
At that time, in the morgue, I forced the old woman to the point where there was no way out, and after touching my forehead, the old woman actually said...... I've been hit by a train!
She's right!
I was born in a rural village with a railroad on the edge of the village, and when I was a teenager, I tried to climb a passing train.
I had done this before, but it was a train pulling wood, and it was very fast, so I hid by the railroad and got down on one of the carriages......
The impact was so great that it rolled me to the side! I fainted in a ravine and woke up after dark.
This is ...... I didn't even dare to tell my family, how did the old woman know?
While I was in awe in my heart, I was not as afraid as before, and it seemed that this old woman should have no ill will towards me.
"How did you figure out that I was hit by a train?"
I asked her, but the old woman ignored me and said:
"You got dirty when you were 13! Blind! You've touched the lonely grave, so you've got entangled in the grave! β
"But...... Someone helped you get rid of that thing! That's why your eyesight has just regained soon! β
I told you about it at the beginning of the story, and you all know that.
But I didn't expect the old woman to ...... this matter Count it out!
Generally, fortune tellers will tell you at most: You have had peach blossom luck recently, or you have a catastrophe recently, but this old woman has told me so accurately about my past!
Could it be that today, I met a master!?
Realizing this, I hurriedly asked her:
"Grandma, what else have you figured out?"
The old woman grinned, laughed, and said:
"You're too dead! So the old woman dares to say, you must be working in the hospital, or in the cemetery! β
"Because where you work...... It's all dead! Are you like me? Also working in crematoriums? β
