Chapter 197: The Undead in the Sea of Fire (9)

2 p.m. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Although the hot springs at the Kanayama Sanatorium are open 24 hours, the people have already dispersed by this time, after all, there are plenty of other entertainment activities that are better suited to late at night.

The water vapor condenses on the roof of the hot spring pool, forming an upside-down droplet, which occasionally falls and clicks.

Yan Ruyu and Wu Cuo tiptoed through the accommodation area, and then through the noisy KTV area, to the hot spring.

There was a man taking a bath, and next to him stood a waiter, who seemed to be serving him.

This person instantly attracted all the attention of Yan Ruyu and Wu Cuo, he was too different.

When Yan Ruyu and Wu Cuo arrived, he was facing away from the two of them, leaning his head against the edge of the hot spring pool, revealing a bare and rugged scalp.

Burn! Very severe burns!

The scar is reflected by the light, almost blending with the glow of the water.

With such a guest, it's no wonder everyone else shy away.

The arrival of Yan Ruyu and Wu Cuo did not attract the attention of the man, but the waiter on the side glanced at the two of them.

The two walked to the other end of the hot spring pool, entered the water, and the bald head was separated by the water vapor of the pool, and only a faint figure could be seen.

Through the dense water vapor, Wu Cuo saw that the man's face was also unrecognizable, his right ear was completely gone, and there was only a small bulge in his left ear.

Yan Ruyu slapped Wu Cuo underwater, signaling him not to keep staring at others, his behavior had already caused the waiter to look at the two of them vigilantly.

Wu Cuo simply said to the waiter, "Can you bring us some wine?" ”

The waiter politely said, "If you have a drink, you have to go to the front desk to order it yourself." ”

"Oh."

Wu Cuo ignored him and swam in the hot spring pool in a fake way.

He deliberately swam in the direction of the bald head, and when he got closer, he turned back again, repeating three times.

At first, the bald head closed his eyes and did not notice him.

When Wu Cuo swam over for the third time, he finally opened his eyes.

The two looked at each other.

Wu Cuo nodded politely to the bald head.

The bald head also nodded, which was considered a return gift.

However, just as the bald head was about to make a second bow, a strange look suddenly flashed in his eyes.

He just looked at Wu Cuo so fixedly.

Surprised, confused, incredulous, unbelievable...... The surging emotions tightly enveloped Wu Cuo through his gaze, making Wu Cuo dare not look directly.

For a moment, Wu Cuo even forgot to paddle, and only when his mouth and nose were about to be submerged did he realize that he had lost some of his temper.

Wow -

The staring lasted only half a second, and the bald head came out of the water, revealing burns all over his body.

As if afraid of being seen, he quickly took the bath towel from the waiter's hand and wrapped himself.

When he left the hot spring, he deliberately didn't look back.

Wu Cuo in the pool had fallen into a deep shock, he knew this person, he was very sure.

"Do you see clearly?" Yan Ruyu leaned over and asked with a smile.

His question startled Wu Cuo, who was in a daze.

Yan Ruyu explained: "I was still young at the time, I haven't seen Uncle Zhuo a few times, plus this person is badly burned and unrecognizable, I really can't recognize it, you can see ......."

"That's him!" Wu Cuo replied very convincingly.

"So sure?" Yan Ruyu was a little puzzled.

"Hmm...... Well! ”

"What are the distinguishing features?"

"Forehead ......"

"Old Wu, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, I'm okay. It's just that...... I saw him suddenly...... He's not dead...... After so many years, he has lived so inhumanely...... I'm a little ...... in my heart I can't tell. ”

Wu Cuo walked out of the hot spring pool, took a few handfuls of cold water and washed his face.

Yan Ruyu stepped forward, "I know that your mood must be very complicated now, and I couldn't believe it at first, but now, Lao Wu, listen to me, you have to tell me an obvious characteristic, we must first find out, is he Uncle Zhuo?" ”

Yan Ruyu took a few deep breaths.

"Do I remember? When I was a child, my dad and Uncle Zhuo took me to swim, and I was going to take you with me, but you had a fever and didn't make it. ”

"I'm still crying at home." Yan Ruyu nodded.

"I remember very well that Uncle Zhuo had a big thigh - I can't remember exactly the left leg or the right leg - anyway, there was a very deep scar, which was weird and scary.

I kept staring at his scar that day, and he teased me, saying that it was bitten by a dog when I was a child. Later, when I grew up, my father told me that Uncle Zhuo's leg injury was caused by a vicious tool that mixed cement on the construction ground while he was on a mission.

I remember what the scar looked like, tridented.

When the man came out of the water just now, I noticed that the burns on his legs were relatively minor. ”

"Scarred? Did you see that? ”

"See."

"Same as Uncle Zhuo's scars?"

"I don't have such a good memory to say it's exactly the same, but the man's scar is also tridentent! And, the location ...... It seems to be the same. ”

Eighty percent of the people who escaped from the fire 20 years ago were found!

The two of them couldn't take a sigh of relief, and more questions had swept in.

How did he spend all these years?

Who arranged for him to live here?

And who is spying on him?

What really happened 20 years ago?

Does he still remember Yan Ruyu and Wu Cuo?

Will he tell them the answer?

"Let's go back first, my mind is a little messy." Wu said wrongly.

It was destined to be a difficult night.

The two of them lay down separately, but they tossed and turned together and couldn't sleep, like pancakes.

Yan Ruyu tried to speak, communicating with Wu Cuo about suspicions, but Wu Cuo just hummed twice and agreed.

"I'm out for a cigarette." Wu Cuo suddenly got up and said, regardless of whether Yan Ruyu's words were just halfway through.

This was the first time he had interrupted Yan Ruyu's analysis, and he usually listened patiently to Yan Ruyu's explanation.

"Together."

"I want to be quiet."

“……”

After Wu mistakenly left, Yan Ruyu was even more sleepless.

On the one hand, there are too many questions, and he doesn't know how to get close to Uncle Zhuo, on the other hand, Wu Cuo's emotional abnormality also makes him faintly worried, and finally, in the bottom of his heart, he still has some doubts about himself:

Shouldn't I be sad to see that the man who lived and died with his parents now lives with him - to live like this? Wu Cuo's reaction is what a normal human should have, right?

Am I such a cold-blooded person?

This was the first time Yan Ruyu felt upset.

In the past, no matter how difficult the case was, he could see the fire from an outsider's perspective, but now that he has turned his attention to himself, this hurdle may not be so easy to pass.

A feeling of uneasiness came over him, and he even instinctively sensed danger.

Maybe you should try to get out of the nursing home and think about it in the long run.

However, it seems to be too late.

An hour later, Wu Cuo, who went out to smoke, still did not come back. When I called him, I simply forgot my phone on the bedside table.

Where did he go?

Got a break from smoking? Still is......

Yan Ruyu didn't dare to think further.

He got up, dressed, and went out of the house.

Compared with the bright KTV area, the sanatorium compound is very quiet.

Could it be...... Went to Uncle Zhuo?
