Chapter 3: The Mysterious Heart

The space behind the wall wasn't too big, and as soon as he reached in, he immediately touched a box! The sensation coming from the fingertips was cold and smooth, like a metal box without decoration!

The box was about three inches square, just a little smaller than the hole in the wall, Shu Yu was curious, smashed the wall a little more, and couldn't wait to pull it out. In the cold, dim light, the shape of this thing could be clearly seen. It was bigger than what he had groped before, square and thick, with smooth edges and corners, and it was a little heavy in his hand, it was indeed a silver-white metal box!

What's inside? He picked up the box and shook it gently, but there was no sound in it. He spun around, and the box was smooth and flat, with a thin slit in the middle, and only one button on one side. When he saw that button, Shu Yu's heart suddenly beat faster!

Bloodstain!

On the wall of the box next to the button, there was a reddish-brown trace, and Shu Yu could see at a glance that this was the color of dried blood! It may be that the sealed space has prevented the passage of time, and this bloodstain stubbornly maintains the posture of hundreds of years, as if to hint at the extremely dangerous situation of others!

Shu Yu paused for a while, plucked up his courage, and pressed the button. The lid popped up with ease, revealing the contents of the box.

When Shu Yu saw it, he couldn't help but pout, what, the box contained another box!

I don't know what material the new box is made of, and it even feels a little warm, only slightly cooler than Shu Yu's heated palm. The box was dark red, with some deep and shallow spots on it, and when Shu Yu's fingers rubbed it slightly, those spots turned into powder and fell down in a stagger. A flash of inspiration occurred in Shu Yu's mind: these spots were not the lines of the box, but the same bloodstains!

His hand holding the box trembled a little, but he gritted his teeth and flipped it open.

Shu Yu was taken aback. Inside is no longer a new box, in the crimson box, there is a blood-red heart quietly! At first glance, the heart seemed to be beating, and the thick blood vessels along the upper edge seemed to be bleeding out at any moment. It was bright red, as if it had just been plucked from a human body. But when I looked at it again, I felt that it was quiet, lying there quietly, as if it had gone through countless years.

As if there was a call in the dark, Shu Yu carefully put his hand close to the heart, wanting to feel whether it was beating or still. The moment he touched it, the "heart" suddenly melted!

It suddenly became soft and liquefied, quickly seeping into Shu Yu's body and disappearing without a trace!

The next moment, an extremely poignant and tragic scream suddenly sounded from the place very close to the door, and at the same time, countless exclamations came from upstairs!

******************

Shu Yu was stunned by the sound that followed, and for a moment he simply forgot about the strange heart that seeped into his body. Especially when the scream around you happens, it is terrible and tragic, just listening to this sound, you can't tell what is out there, what kind of tragic things it has suffered, what kind of pain it is experiencing.

He hesitated for a while, the screams continued, and as if dragging his footsteps towards this door, layers of cold sweat broke out behind Shu Yu's back, and incomparable fear rose from the bottom of his heart!

That thing is right outside the door! It's going to open the door!

Shu Yu looked left and right, trying to find a corner to hide in. But it's an empty house, and there's no place to hide.

The door was pushed open with a "hoarse", and Shu Yu leaned against the wall, looking nervously over there.

A hand groped along the door, accompanied by a middle-aged man's voice: "Shu, Shu Yu......"

The voice was faint and lacking in qi, but it was very familiar, Shu Yu shouted after a little thought: "Lao Ding! Is that you, old ding! ”

******************

Lao Ding is their dormitory administrator, usually always sloppy, mixed with alcohol, looking like he is going to get drunk to death in a wine bottle, he is always alone in his room, drunk. What to sign in, what to name, what to send and receive packages, all the work that belongs to a housekeeper, he doesn't pay attention to it at all. So the students in the entire Zero dormitory are completely free-range, and the students don't exist as if they don't exist.

But Shu Yu is relatively familiar with him. Shu Yu has always been the first in his grade, and even Princess Wagli, who is known as the star of hope by the school, has always lost to him in grades. He has some talent, but he can't get such results just by listening to lectures. But he has a tenacity in his personality, and often studies hard by himself when others are playing.

The school pays the most attention to the evolutionary, and the main course of the evolutionary is "the application of supernatural abilities", and the learning of cultural classes is only an auxiliary course, and there is no place to prepare a self-study room for students to make up for cultural classes. The dormitory is too noisy, and it is not easy to find a place where you can study quietly......

In this way, the dormitory with only one drunken uncle is a good place.

In most cases, there are only two situations when Shu Yu sees the uncle in the dormitory room: he is not out to buy alcohol, and he is drunk. In either case, the door is not locked and no one disturbs the house. After coming and going, he developed the habit of going to the dormitory to study.

Lao Ding occasionally had times when he was not drunk, and before, even at this time, he would ignore Shu Yu's existence. Gradually, the number of meetings increased, and everyone became familiar with each other, and he would sometimes interject when Shu Yu was studying-strange and philosophical words that were not at all like his style.

Moreover, Lao Ding seems to know a lot of strange things, and often brings them up in conversations. Shu Yu actually didn't know if this was true or not, but it didn't prevent him from being dazzled and admired.

But no matter how familiar you are with worship, hearing his voice at such a time and in such a situation can only be said to be an extremely terrible thing!

******************

Hearing Shu Yu's response, the door was pushed open a little more, and Lao Ding said vaguely: "Shu Yu...... Sure enough, you're here...... Ahem, what did you find? Show it to your uncle......"

The crack in the door opened wider and wider, and a strange smell came from there. Shu Yu sniffed and was shocked to find that it was the smell of blood! Very, very strong smell of blood! Only then did he see that the hand holding the door was like a melted blood-red candle, still dripping liquid.

Is this Lao Ding? Or is it some kind of monster fake?

In the next moment, Shu Yu further confirmed the identity of this "monster", it was indeed Lao Ding! The smell of alcohol that almost dissolves in the veins can't be faked!

The door was opened, and Shu Yu couldn't help but take another step back, clinging to the wall.

It's a monster!

The housekeeper in front of him could only barely recognize a human figure, his whole body was like that hand, as if it was about to melt to the ground, and it looked extremely terrifying. He walked over to Shu Yu step by step, still muttering, "What did you find...... Give it to me...... Ahem, I've been looking for so many, so many years......"

The words were mixed with coughing, blood bubbles kept spilling from the corners of his mouth, but his eyes were surprisingly bright, as if there was a ghost fire burning inside.

Shu Yu took a breath, settled down, and asked, "Lao Ding, what's going on?" What's wrong with you? ”

Old Ding's fiery eyes stared straight at him, and he muttered, "...... Give me back ......."

In the flash of light, the blood-red heart flashed through Shu Yu's mind. Is that what Lao Ding is looking for? Looking for many years? With his knowledge and knowledge, did he stay in the Zero dormitory for so many years just to find this thing? What the hell is this?!

Lao Ding got closer and closer, leaving a little blood stain like snail saliva on the ground, and stretched out his hand towards Shu Yu. Shu Yu turned around him in a circle and said loudly, "What do you want me to pay you back?" You don't say how I know! ”

Lao Ding's mind seemed to be unclear anymore, and he only read his name over and over again, asking him to return his things, but he never said what he was looking for.

Shu Yu saw that he was moving slowly and unconscious, and his fear gradually faded. That thing has already entered his body, and he doesn't know what it is, let alone what it will bring him, so he must find a way to ask Lao Ding!

He went around in a circle, repeatedly asking questions, asking Lao Ding if he still knew him, and asking him about his previous things, Lao Ding would sometimes talk a few words with him, but he could never get to the point.

The voices from upstairs were getting louder and louder, and in addition to the constant screams, there was a loud boom and boom.

Shu Yu didn't know what was going on above, he glanced up. Lao Ding's actions have been very slow, and he gradually took it lightly, but the moment he turned his head, Lao Ding suddenly bullied him like lightning, twisted and pressed, and easily pressed him to the ground!

Is he pretending! Oops! Shu Yu was shocked and desperately wanted to lift him open, but the joints were suppressed to death, and he couldn't open them for a while!

Lao Ding still muttered vaguely: "On you...... I felt it...... Ahem...... Where are you hiding, take it out quickly......" He said as he groped around Shu Yu, drops of flesh and blood fell on Shu Yu, and the smell of fishy mixed with alcohol made him sick to death.

As if he really felt it, Lao Ding touched Shu Yu's chest all the way, pressed the center of his chest, and his flesh-and-blood melting face actually showed ecstasy, and screamed loudly: "I feel it!" Yes, there is! I'm going to get it! ”

Shu Yu gritted his teeth, his legs flicked, and he wanted to kick him down, but Lao Ding's screaming voice was about to tear: "I finally found it, it's here, it's here!" At this time, there was no cough in his scream, and his nails were digging deep into Shu Yu's chest, as if he wanted to tear him open and dig something out of his body.

Shu Yu really felt the threat of death at this moment, and he recalled the skills such as the anti-grappling technique taught by the teacher in physical education class, but Lao Ding was obviously countless times more familiar with these than him, and easily suppressed him, and his nails dug deeper and deeper.

Blood poured out of Shu Yu's chest, mixed with the blood that Lao Ding had dripped on his body. His eyes darkened, and he couldn't help but let out a cry of pain.

Suddenly, even louder screams rang out in front of him!

Shu Yu barely opened his eyes and saw Lao Ding as if he had been pushed away by something, fell down, and lay on the ground on his back facing the sky.

He covered his face and rolled all over the ground, screaming as if he had suffered some inhuman pain. Shu Yu sat up, took a few steps back with his hand, and looked at him in shock.

Before, Lao Ding looked like he was about to melt, but it was like wax oil attached to the wall of the candle, and it felt like only the surface layer was melting; And now, like the head of a candle burning in a fire, he began to melt from head to toe. First the short hair, then the face...... Melted to the point that there was not a single dross left, nothing but bright red flowing blood. Clean!

But the monster's vitality is extremely tenacious, and it has turned into a face that is gone, and it still insists on reaching out to Shu Yu, spitting blood blisters in its mouth. Obviously he didn't make a sound, but Shu Yu seemed to hear what he said:

"Give me back !!"

Shu Yu covered his chest, reluctantly stood up, held back the disgusting nausea in his heart, kicked Lao Ding over, and stared at him as he rolled and screamed. He didn't think about it carefully, but there was a voice deep in his heart that told Shu Yu: Watch him die! Don't let others know what you're getting!

Bloody gas mixed with screams created a scene that looked like hell. Shu Yu just gritted his teeth and held on. The screams became weaker and weaker, and Lao Ding gradually melted clean in front of Shu Yu's eyes, turning into a pool of blood, and the blood flowed in a gushing manner, and was melted into it along with his clothes.

Shu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, clutched his chest and left here. The basement was old and rugged, and it was full of collapsed slag. Shu Yushen fled out with one shallow foot, and just escaped from the basement, but saw a black shadow smashing down head-on!
