Chapter 35: Late Night (14)
The warm blood fell on his face, with a fishy sweet smell, obviously not cold, but Xia Beifeng couldn't help but shiver. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
He raised his hand to wipe the blood from his face, and when he opened his eyes again, he happened to make eye contact with the woman in front of him.
The vague background around him became clear again, the heat in the air instantly subsided, and the cold and biting cold air pounced on him again.
The beautiful face of the girl in front of her began to blur in a cloud of white gas, and thin cracks appeared on the white skin, like broken porcelain, falling off piece by piece, revealing the flesh and bone that was constantly oozing blood below.
There was a loud bang at the door of the morgue. With the sound of "squeak" metal rubbing, the heavily deformed metal door was slowly pushed open a crack.
A white bird fluttered its wings and flew through the thin crack in the door, and plunged into Ye Baiyu's arms, dropping a few tiny fluffs along the way.
After Ye Baiyu vomited a mouthful of blood, his face was a little pale, and he was hit by a flying bird, looking half-dead, not much stronger than the dead corpses on the ground.
Speaking of dead corpses, Xia Beifeng found out that at the same time that he was sticking to the female ghosts, the dead bodies that had been hypnotized by the singing also woke up one after another, and they were wandering aimlessly in the morgue at this time.
They didn't seem to want to leave, nor did they want to continue their pursuit of flesh and blood, but stumbled from freezer to freezer like old men with bad eyes and weak hands, without fighting spirit.
Occasionally, two of them bump together, and after two or three persistent bumps, they can stagger their bodies sluggishly and go their own ways.
The female ghost's cold hand was still on Xia Beifeng's chest, and in the place facing her heart, her sharp nails were deeply rooted in the flesh.
The moment the bird flew in, she quickly withdrew her hand, covered her ears and opened her mouth. She probably let out a high-decibel scream, and her bloody face, which was blurry and unrecognizable, distorted to an even more terrifying level, and everything around her was shaken violently by her scream.
But the two living people beside her could not hear her, and could only watch her scream and then look at the bird in horror, then turn around and disappear into thin air.
Xia Beifeng stretched out his hand and wanted to grab~ the corner of her clothes. It's a pity that he was a step too late, and he just touched the cold air in vain.
"Don't be reluctant, people don't want to stay and have something happen to you, or do you want to?"
Ye Baiyu, who was leaning against the side of the freezer, coughed a few more times, stretched out an arm to let the bird stop, held the freezer with one hand, and staggered to his feet.
"Sparrow."
He looked down at the bird that was resting on his arm to collect its feathers, and asked in surprise, "Why are you here...... Also, who is here with you? ”
The sparrow blinked quickly, tilted its head in the direction where she flew in, gave Ye Baiyu a "self-realizing" look, and lowered her head again to comb her feathers.
The gap in the door of the morgue was still slowly widening, from the size of a single bird to the size of a single person to accommodate one person at first.
A figure in a wide robe was standing there, against the light, looking like a savior descending from the sky.
He had his hands behind his back, a strand of hair hanging down from his chest, tied with a black strap.
Because of the lights in the corridor, Xia Beifeng couldn't see his face clearly at all, only a pair of phoenix eyes shining with murderous intent, which looked shining and radiant under the illumination of the lights.
"Ghost King senior?"
Xia Beifeng shouted tentatively, and after seeing the other party nodding slowly, he asked worriedly, "Why are you here?" Is upstairs okay? I...... Xia Bailu, how is she? ”
The door of the morgue was finally completely opened, and the snow-white light outside the door fell in, and the white cold air dissipated outside the door at a speed that was visible to the naked ~ eye.
The Ghost King shook his head and strode in silently.
Ye Baiyu leaned on the freezer beside him, waved his hand at him with a smile, I don't know what was involved, and when he put down his hand, he coughed twice and spit out a mouthful of blood foam on the ground.
"Still not down?"
He raised his head and asked Xia Beifeng, and gestured to the ghost king who was walking with his eyes: "Are you still waiting for that big man to invite you in person?" ”
"Oh? Oh...... Are you okay. ”
Xia Beifeng jumped down from the top of the freezer and looked down at the puddle of blood on his clothes: "Why did you suddenly vomit blood just now?" ”
I spit on my clothes without a bad drop, and you really cherish things.
Ye Baiyu waved his hand at him, gasping twice, obviously not wanting to mention it.
"This self-proclaimed determined and undeceived Ye Daochang has probably been tricked just like you. I want to think about it...... It should have been the first to see his wife, and after holding it excitedly, he found that although he looked alike, it was not his wife, and his guilt exploded, and he directly held back his internal injuries. ”
The Ghost King's smiling voice grew closer, and a little bit of ...... seemed to be heard in his calm statement Pleasure?
"You see, people with psychological cleanliness are trouble, and when they encounter a beauty, they are not dismantled by the beauty, and they are almost suffocated to death by a mouthful of blood, how shameful this death is! It's still good like us, those who come don't refuse, they all will be harvested, the peony flowers will die, and you can still be a merry ghost, you say yes. ”
The ghost king walked in fluttering clothes, stopped in front of the two, and the first thing he did was whistle at Xia Beifeng cheaply: "Good figure!" But aren't you cold? ”
"Thanks for the compliment."
Xia Beifeng smiled humbly, nodded without changing his face, buttoned the open shirt button one by one, and said slowly: "Although I didn't understand whether you were scolding me or praising me, or scolding Daoist Ye?" Thank you anyway. ”
"I'm scolding you who was seduced by a beauty and almost lost your life, and someone who withstood the temptation ~ and almost died."
The Ghost King raised his chin and said contemptuously, "You can't handle this little thing, you two waste." ”
I've remembered this, so wait for me to come home and clean you up.
Xia Beifeng buckled the last button with a smile on his face, and smiled kindly at the ghost king.
"We're all waste, you're old and wise, and you know everything...... May I ask the wise and martial ghost king senior, why didn't you come out to help earlier. ”
Ye Baiyu smiled weakly, and coughed up a mouthful of blood after saying a paragraph, as if he could lose his breath at any time.
"How much have you seen, how do you know everything, it won't be watching the excitement all the time."
"I really wanted to see this excitement, but unfortunately I didn't see it."
The Ghost King lowered his head and coughed, turned his head to look at a corpse hiding in a corner, and stretched out his arm forward.
The sparrow flew quickly from Ye Baiyu's shoulder to his arm, and then jumped along his arm to his shoulder.
Since the appearance of the Ghost King, not only has the female ghost who sang and sang like brainwashing disappeared before, but even the black shadows whispering around him, as well as the dead corpses wandering around the room, have all shrunk into the dark corners.
Just like the little rabbit who had just come out of the nest suddenly saw the king tiger in the forest, he didn't even dare to flee in fright, and just lay on the ground, not daring to move.
"As for why I know everything...... I'm a little troublesome right now, but I don't even know what's hidden under my feet. The beauty was moving at my feet, and of course I could feel it. ”
"Beauty?"
Xia Beifeng looked at him in surprise, and subconsciously took two steps back: "Where did you see that she is still a beauty?" ”
"When people are alive, they are the top brands, how can they not be beauties?"
The ghost king naturally asked a rhetorical question, and then blocked Xia Beifeng's question.
"Oh, yes."
The Ghost King stretched out his finger and pointed at his head: "Ah Yu, the person you are looking for is going on a killing spree right now." If you want to go, you can go up and have a look now, and I can't say if you can stop me. ”
"Who is it?"
Ye Baiyu's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this: "You saw it." ”
"It's just an ordinary person, carrying a knife, and seeing who cuts whom."
The ghost king nodded at him, and tilted his head to look at the sparrow on his shoulder: "I tried it, but it seems that I have fallen under some spell, and I can't persuade him to go back." Unless you find the one who cast the spell, you'll have to do it if you want to stop him, but you're ...... now."
He blocked the way in front of the two, looked Ye Baiyu up and down, and suddenly sighed deeply: "Let's not say that even God is on his side at this moment, just talk about yourself, what do you think are the chances of winning against an ordinary person now?" ”
Ye Baiyu stretched out a hand without hesitation and shook it firmly.
Under the angry gaze of the ghost king, "You dare to blow it again", he reluctantly withdrew a finger.
The Ghost King still stood there motionless, a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
The man then carefully retracted another finger.
"That's pretty much it."
The ghost king nodded with satisfaction: "Just three percent sure that you still want to go, are you really not afraid of death?" ”
"Naturally, I want to go, and I have to go anyway."
Ye Baiyu straightened his body, tidied up the corners of his clothes, and retracted the long knife into its scabbard: "As for the ...... who are not dead, Do I look like someone who dies so easily? Even if it's really dead, what can I do, it's a big deal to eat with you? ”
"I don't have a place for you to mix. Besides, I won't know where I will be then. ”
The ghost king glanced at Xia Beifeng as if unintentionally, turned sideways, made way for Ye Baiyu, stretched out a hand in the direction of the gate, and said respectfully: "You please, we won't get involved in this matter." ”
"We?"
Xia Beifeng looked at him suspiciously: "I ......"
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a stern look from the Ghost King.
You dare to rebel, don't you?
Xia Beifeng scolded angrily in his heart.
Then he shut his mouth.
"Let's go and find Xue Qing first. Eight out of ten ~ nine times the person who cursed the madman above was her. Master Ye, you can work harder, and I am embarrassed to stop you if you are willing to rush to the front, so I will help you pull out the roots in the back. ”
"Please."
Ye Baiyu turned his head to Xia Beifeng and asked, "Brother Xia, are you really not with me?" ”
"I'll ......"
His hesitant gaze wandered between this person and a ghost for a moment, and finally decided to succumb to the (future) lewdness of his own brother~Wei: "I have something I want to figure out, so I should follow my predecessors to find Xue Qing, at least find the lost child first." ”
"That's good."
I don't know if Ye Baiyu accepted this reason. He asked a question seemingly very casually, nodded his head more casually when he heard the answer, then clenched the knife in his hand and strode forward.
Xia Beifeng's eyes chased after his tall back. The man's slender figure was wrapped in a loose Tang suit, which seemed to be empty, but at this moment, he looked a little more calm and chic.
It's like a hero who died generously in ancient times.
"Hey, don't look at it! You won't change your mind if you look at him like this, that person is like this, looking at the gods chattering, sometimes more brainless than anyone else. ”
The ghost king snapped his fingers in front of his eyes: "Hey, hey!" ”
"Huh?"
Xia Beifeng turned his gaze to the ghost king again, but saw that his shoulders were empty: "What about your bird?" Why is it gone? ”
"I asked her to follow Ye Baiyu, if there is anything to at least collect a corpse for him."
After the ghost king said this, he savored it for a moment, and suddenly reacted: "What do you call that bird of mine?" What are you talking about? ”
Xia Beifeng smiled and turned his head to pretend to be stupid.
The corpse in the corner looked a little pitiful at this moment. They were far away from where the two had spoken, and here they had left a vacuum, and one could even feel a little sympathy.
What iniquity did you create while you lived?
It's unlucky to be a zombie and get mixed up with this!
"Do you know why I want you to stay?"
The ghost king put his hands behind his back, and after he finished giggling, his face quickly became serious: "Ye Baiyu, he can go to find those who are aliens in his eyes at will, that is the purpose of his coming here." But what about you, what is the purpose of your stay here? You're here to save people, don't you remember? ”
"What's wrong with her now?"
These words were like a bucket of ice water, pouring out the messy thoughts in Xia Beifeng's mind, leaving only the figure curled up at the bottom of the stairs: "Didn't you say that you would protect him?" ”
"It's okay yet, but I'm not sure then. Didn't you think about it once I couldn't protect her? ”
The ghost king stretched out his hand and knocked on the metal cabinet beside him, and said word by word: "When we both have something, we will rely on you to protect us, this is something that Ye Baiyu can't do." ”
He said the word "we" with a smile on his face, as if he was very sure that the person in front of him would not leave him alone.
The long sound of fingers striking the hollow metal reverberates through the chilly morgue, creating the atmosphere of a horror movie with ease.
"What will happen to you?"
"I don't know yet, let's talk about it then, you have to protect me anyway."
"Yes."
Are you so sure you're going to have an accident?
Or do you already know something?
Xia Beifeng followed behind him, looking at his back intently. I couldn't help but stretch out a hand, patted him on the shoulder and questioned him, asking him to make all those ambiguous words clear at once.
Do you already know the ending?
If you already know the ending, why meddle?
Can I change something a bit?
Why did I come here, and why did you come here?
More and more questions appear in the mind, like a snowball, rolling bigger and bigger, overwhelming people.
Xia Beifeng raised his hand several times, but finally put it down.
Forget it, what's the use of asking?
Most of what this guy doesn't want to say can't be asked, and it can only add to his troubles.
The ghost king wandered around the morgue, and when he saw the door of a freezer, he had to reach out and knock on it, and when he was done, he had to listen carefully to the sound coming from inside, and he didn't know what he was looking for.
In short, it is very cheap.
"Can we really find anything like this?"
Xia Beifeng took a deep breath, put aside the bad speculations in his heart, and asked the Ghost King, "What are you looking for here?" ”
"Look for that beauty!"
The Ghost King said as a matter of course, looking at him with even a little surprise in his eyes: "What else can you look for besides her?" Is there anything else here that is worth my effort? ”
It's also true, the rain painting girl seems to know everything.
Xia Beifeng covered his eyes in pain, feeling that he was too stupid to ask this question.
"I have a question for you."
The Ghost King stopped, stood shoulder to shoulder with the person who came up, and reached out and poked his waist: "Who did you see when that beauty seduced you?" ”
Why do you ask this?
Xia Beifeng was originally in a serious mood, and when he heard such a question, he was so surprised that he almost told the truth directly.
He bit the tip of his tongue and turned his head to glare angrily at the people around him, only to see some kind of expression called "gossip" on that young face.
"Don't be so serious, you see that the two of us are not outsiders, you can tell me what can be done?"
The ghost king looked at him with a smile, and casually pulled the door of the freezer next to him: "Found it." ”
A cool white air wafted from the empty freezer, and a white~hui hand stretched out from it like lightning, firmly gripping the wide sleeves of the ghost king.
