335 House of Ghosts-3
Psychological research has shown that when people are extremely frightened, they may hallucinate, such as mistaking the objects in front of them for something else, or making up the otherwise normal scenery into a terrifying scene.
Since Zhang Luo had never experienced the feeling of "extreme fear", he had never had the opportunity to test the truth of this statement. It wasn't until he also saw what Lin Miao saw that he finally realized that the woman was indeed hallucinating and took "something" as a ghost:
-- On the ceiling in the corner, there were no women floating in the air without a body, and there were several iron hooks hanging from the top of the ceiling, and human limbs hanging from the roof with their flesh hooked underneath.
Arms and legs, long since turned grayish, swayed slightly under the ceiling like pork being sold by a butcher at a street stall. In addition, there was a human head hanging in the middle, with long hair that had fallen down to cover the face, and blood was dripping down from the neck, and the blood was dripping into a plastic basin directly below, making a pleasant ticking sound.
There is no doubt that it was not a ghost, but a corpse hanging from the ceiling!
Just looking at the appearance, this poor corpse is in line with the characteristics of what Lin Miao said about "a woman floating in the air without a body". However, Zhang Luo knew that in this way, the scene reproduced in front of his eyes was not a supernatural event, but a ......
"It seems that there is more than one murder case here." Zhang Luo said in a deep voice.
As if he had been woken up by Zhang Luo's words, the distorted and frightened expression on Lin Miao's face finally eased slightly, grabbed Zhang Luo's arm in a state similar to "waking up from a dream", and asked in a low voice, "That's not human...... Is it a corpse? ”
"It's a corpse, indeed, and it's been mutilated." Zhang Luo nodded.
After obtaining psychic vision and seeing the "reappearance" mentioned in Zhao Tianshi's work, the changes in the scenery in Zhang Luo's eyes are more than just a ceiling.
At this time, he saw that in the living room, except for the sofa and coffee table, which were still in place, the other furniture furnishings had almost all changed:
The "modern" living room he rented was gone, replaced by a dirty and messy room, clothes and shoes littered the floor, and a brown wooden floor covered with dirty blankets and stuffed with cans, bottles, lunch boxes, and the like.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Luo turned his head to Lin Miao and asked, "Shouldn't the living room you see be so dirty all the time?" ”
"yes, didn't you throw this garbage?" Lin Miao scratched her hair and made a confused sound.
"Damn, I'm so sloppy in your eyes." Zhang Luo sighed.
He was about to describe the real appearance of the living room to Lin Miao, when the woman finally realized that the topic had gone off track, and quickly brought the focus of the current discussion back on track, and asked Zhang Luo: "What happened to the corpse?" I didn't notice it when I entered the house just now, and I saw it later......"
After experiencing the "hospital incident", this woman, who used to be a nurse, also recovered quickly. Realizing that the "female ghost" just now was just an illusion she saw in fear, she immediately calmed down a lot and was not as scared as before.
Seeing that Lin Miao's state was finally able to communicate normally, Zhang Luo explained: "To put it simply, what we are seeing now is the scene from two years ago, and you can think of it as watching a reproduction of the old scene. ”
If the Maoshan Taoist Institute's research is correct, it means that two years ago, one day before the murder that shocked the whole city, another murder occurred in this room.
And this untold murder is even more tragic than the well-known megalomite.
Even Zhang Luo didn't expect that in the room he rented, such a scene would have occurred. After all, he had only seen this kind of cruel scene in the alienated campus and the underground base where the elite club was hunted.
So now the question is, how could such a brutal murder happen in this house shared by four young people?
Zhang Luo had just thought of a terrifying possibility when he saw the originally closed door of the bathroom being opened, and a slightly chubby young man wearing a yellow raincoat walked out. He had a kitchen knife in his hand, and his raincoat was still stained with mottled blood that had not been washed.
That guy has a flat head and a round face that makes his appearance a little more childish, although the appearance of thick eyebrows and big eyes can be described as "kind eyebrows and kind eyes", but unfortunately just looking at his outfit and the things on his hands, Zhang Luo and Lin Miao immediately understood what this person was doing just now.
"Ah......" Lin Miao let out a stunned sound, and then suddenly covered her mouth.
"Huh?"
As if hearing something, the round-faced young man looked at the door where Zhang Luo and the others were, raised his eyebrows slightly, showed a happy smile on his face, and asked loudly, "Is there anyone?" ”
“……”
Hearing this person's words, Zhang Luo stretched out a finger to his lips, made a "don't make a sound" gesture, and then slowly stood up, staring at the young murderer who was still standing in the living room.
-- If, as Zhao Tianshi said, what the occupants saw was only a reappearance of the deceased's former vision, then this person's actions just now cannot be explained. Zhang Luo immediately realized that perhaps this so-called "reappearance" was much more terrifying than the description in that article! Because......
"Stay here and don't move, I'll go check on the situation."
Zhang Luo whispered instructions to Lin Miao, then tiptoed into the dirty living room, stood not far behind the man in the raincoat, and suddenly raised his foot and kicked a drink can on the floor.
"Smack!"
With a crisp sound, the drink can suddenly flew out, flew past the man in the raincoat, and smashed against the wall across from him.
Seeing this scene, the man was stunned for a moment, and then turned back suddenly. looked in the direction of Zhang Luo, who was still standing motionless, with a blank expression.
"What's wrong?" The man in the raincoat muttered.
The murderer, who was wearing a raincoat and holding a kitchen knife, continued to stare at the direction where Zhang Luo was, and then as if he suddenly saw something, his originally confused eyes seemed to have found focus and froze on Zhang Luo's face.
At the same time, the expression on the round face of the man in the raincoat also changed from confusion to ferocity, and he bared his teeth and let out a beastly roar: "I won't let you say it, die!" ”
While roaring, the guy had already waved the kitchen knife in his hand and slashed at Zhang Luo!
Seeing that the other party suddenly made a move, Lin Miao, who was still in front of the door of the living room, couldn't help but shout: "Be careful!" ”
However, in the face of the outlaw's attack, Zhang Luo still stopped in place, looking confident. After all, for a "heretical" of his level, such a pitiful attack would not pose any threat at all......
"Click!"
With a crisp sound, the man in the raincoat wailed and bent down, pressed his broken right wrist with his left hand and screamed, and the kitchen knife in his right hand suddenly fell to the ground.
His screams stopped abruptly at the beginning, because Zhang Luo had already stood behind him and broke his neck mercilessly!
"Die." Zhang Luo said. (To be continued.) )
