Chapter 45: The Deadly Corpse
Zheng Hao followed Shen Lu to the door of the morgue, but suddenly remembered that the old man in charge of guarding the morgue in the hospital had taken a leave of absence due to illness.
Looking at the gloomy door, Zheng Hao pulled Shen Lu to turn around and leave, and went to see Shen Lu stubbornly standing still. Zheng Hao saw Shen Lu looking directly at the door, and took a closer look at her gaze, only to feel that the door seemed to be hidden and unlocked.
I don't know why, Zheng Hao didn't say a word, so he let Shen Lu walk into the morgue holding hands.
Shen Lu stretched out his hand and groped for a while, and suddenly there was light in front of him, and a very low wattage energy-saving lamp glowed with green and faint light, illuminating the morgue, which was not too big.
On the innermost morgue, there was indeed a corpse. Due to the small size of the hospital, it was just a simple morgue and was not equipped with refrigeration equipment, although it was late autumn, Zheng Hao still smelled a strong pungent smell of formalin solution, faintly mixed with a trace of foul smell, which should have come from the corpse.
Shen Lu couldn't help but be a little nervous at this time, and squeezed Zheng Hao's hand tightly and slowly approached the corpse.
One of the corpse's hands on the morgue drooped, revealing a blackened metal tag on its wrist, which was the corpse identified in the morgue.
Zheng Hao glanced sideways at the corpse card, the date on which told him that the corpse had only been moved into the morgue this morning.
Shen Lu leaned sideways, and his hand slowly reached for the white cloth covering the corpse. After hesitating for a while, Shen Lu mustered up her courage and violently lifted the white shroud, and at the same time, she was so frightened that she turned her head suddenly, closed her eyes, and hugged Zheng Hao tightly.
Shen Lu didn't know that Zheng Hao at this time was more scared than her. The moment Shen Lu lifted the shroud, Zheng Hao couldn't help but close his eyes.
Zheng Hao felt that Shen Lu was hugging him tightly, probably because of fear, his body was cold and shivering, and a sense of manhood was born.
Zheng Hao mustered up his courage and slowly opened his eyes, and saw that the corpse on the morgue was the elderly patient he had seen in his dream, but his expression was quite peaceful, and it was not as terrible as he imagined.
Zheng Hao stabilized his emotions, patted Shen Lu's shoulder gently, forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, and tried to calm his tone: "Lulu, don't be afraid, it's okay!" ”
Shen Lu opened his eyes when he heard this, let go of Zheng Hao, who was holding him tightly, and his eyes were also fixed on the corpse lying flat. After a while, Shen Lu asked softly, "Zheng Hao, is it the old man you saw in your dream?" ”
Zheng Hao nodded, and Shen Lu asked with concern: "Zheng Hao, think about it carefully, have you ever seen this old man's body?" ”
Zheng Hao thought about it, shook his head very resolutely, pointed to the corpse card on the corpse's wrist and said, "Lulu, look, the corpse card says that it was sent in this morning. However, today I am on vacation, and I have been riding my bicycle around since the morning, and it is impossible to see this corpse. But the strange thing is, how could I sleep at the door of this morgue? And another terrible nightmare? ”
Shen Lu looked scared and puzzled: "Zheng Hao, then what did you dream about in that nightmare?" ”
Zheng Hao pondered the terrible dream and muttered, "I remember that I was basking in the sun in the office, and the old man came in to treat me. By the way, I helped him treat the blisters on his stomach, as well as a lot of disgusting pus and white worms. See if there's anything on this corpse. ”
Thinking of this, Zheng Hao, who majored in surgery, had seen many autopsies during his internship at the university, and a habit made him forget his fear for a while.
Zheng Hao was about to check the belly of the corpse, but he heard the door of the morgue creak and closed automatically. Zheng Hao couldn't help but be startled, and Shen Lu also let out an exclamation. Zheng Hao walked towards the door with a hard head, only to feel the sound of the wind blowing in the crack of the door that was not too tight. Zheng Hao breathed a sigh of relief and squeezed out a smile at Shen Lu: "Lulu, don't be afraid. It was windy at night, so I closed the door. ”
Zheng Hao walked quickly to the morgue, he calmed down, and with a little effort, lifted the clothes on the old man's corpse.
The scene that caught his eyes made Zheng Hao vomit loudly. I saw a large patch of red, white and yellow pus flowing from the chest and belly of the old man's corpse, and countless white worms were slowly wriggling. What makes Zheng Hao even more frightened is that you can clearly see that those disgusting pus, blood and small worms came out of the blisters on the old man's corpse, and they were obviously covered with small knife marks, which were cut by the old man in his 'dream'.
Zheng Hao vomited for a while, his heart was extremely frightened, and what scared him the most was that he didn't know whether it was a 'nightmare' or reality. Zheng Hao threw his hand back in fear, but he chuckled in his heart, but he didn't touch Shen Lu, who was obviously standing beside him just now.
Zheng Hao quickly turned around, but he didn't find Shen Lu, he was surprised in his heart, he didn't know where Shen Lu went.
Zheng Hao settled down, and always felt that something was wrong. He took a deep breath, looked at it carefully, and was startled, what made him feel wrong was that Shen Lu did not leave the morgue, but lay on another morgue bed that was originally empty.
"Lulu, what are you doing?" Zheng Hao shouted loudly, but he was surprised that his ears didn't hear a single sound, but he could clearly feel his mouth open wide.
Shen Lu, who was lying on the morgue, turned his head sideways and smiled at Zheng Hao, his voice was still as familiar as Zheng Hao's: "Zheng Hao, I don't know what's going on, I feel so tired." You're examining the body again, and when I see this bed, I can't help but lie down and want to rest. ”
Zheng Hao finally heard his own shout: "Lulu, you are crazy, that is a morgue, how can you lie on it and rest?" ”
Shen Lu didn't seem to be scared at all, but showed a sweeter smile, and said softly: "Zheng Hao, you are also a medical student, so you are so afraid of corpses, not to mention that this is just a spare morgue, what's wrong with lying down?" Don't be so superstitious, okay? ”
Seeing that Zheng Hao was still opening his mouth in fear, Shen Lu smiled slightly: "Okay!" Zheng Hao, hurry up and finish checking, I'll see if the photo in the newspaper is the corpse of this old man. ”
Zheng Hao saw Shen Lu leisurely spreading out the newspaper with the notice of identifying the corpse in her hand and holding it flat in her hand, her expression seemed to be like she usually read books and newspapers in the dormitory.
Zheng Hao sighed, he usually can't resist his willful and playful girlfriend, and although he is in this gloomy morgue at this time, he can only rely on her.
Zheng Hao mustered up the courage to put the white shroud back on the old man's body, and when he turned around, he saw that Shen Lu, who was lying flat and holding the newspaper with both hands, seemed to be a little wrong, and on the upward side of the newspaper, there was a photo that seemed to be very familiar.
Zheng Hao walked over quietly, Shen Lu's hands were motionless, and the newspaper seemed to be spread out on the table, allowing Zheng Hao to see clearly.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment, and the photo in the newspaper turned out to be Shen Lu's photo. Zheng Hao was so strange, he looked carefully at the text under the photo: At eight o'clock last night, a bus overturned in Wuhe, and there were 15 people on board, except for one person who was seriously injured, three people who were slightly injured, and one person who died, and the remaining 10 people, including the driver, were suddenly unharmed. Because the deceased could not find any identity certificate, it is hereby reported, and I hope that those who know will contact the Wuhe County Traffic Police Brigade as soon as possible!
The horror in Zheng Hao's heart at this time was incomparable, and countless thoughts flashed in his mind: The car accident that happened last night? The deceased was Shen Lu? So who is Shen Lu waiting in his dormitory tonight?
"Ghosts?" Zheng Hao let out an exclamation, and at this time, the green and faint energy-saving lamp suddenly flashed a few times and went out.
Zheng Hao fell to the ground in shock, lying on the cold cement floor, but his hands and feet did not obey the call, and he couldn't get up again.
Just as he was so frightened that he had no master, a white hand stretched out to him. Although it was night, the moonlight that came in from the small window of the morgue still made Zheng Hao see clearly, it was the hand of his familiar lover Shen Lu.
At that moment, Zheng Hao actually forgot that Shen Lu was dead, and habitually held that hand, only to feel cold to the bone.
Just when Zheng Hao grabbed Shen Lu's cold hand and wanted to stand up with strength, but unexpectedly, Shen Lu fell directly from the morgue and pressed on Zheng Hao's body, and under the moonlight, the two looked at each other.
Zheng Hao suddenly realized that it was no longer his lover Shen Lu who was in him, because he didn't feel a trace of weight, just like air.
Shen Lu's expression in the face of Zheng Hao suddenly became hideous, and she didn't see her mouth move, but Zheng Hao felt a voice as if it came from hell, cold and gloomy: "Zheng Hao, you actually did that kind of thing behind my back and the dean's wife!" ”
Slowly, Shen Lu's two eyes opened wider and wider, and blood continued to flow outward, and after a while, the two eyeballs also rolled out of the eye sockets, leaving only the two Hesen eye sockets facing Zheng Hao's eyes.
