Chapter 90. Case 14: Prepare to fight

I can't say that I've never seen this scene in front of me, but I did. But what struck me out and surprised me was that when I saw this scene before, I saw it in those bad Hong Kong movies when I was a child. The corpse had changed its original appearance, no longer lying limply on the test table, but leaning against the entire row of stainless steel freezers, its legs slightly bent due to weakness. His hands are hanging down at his sides, and his neck is slightly to the left because of his weightlessness, much like a movie I watched when I was a kid, about a psychopathic who likes to kill people and then tie them to them as dolls. It's just that the corpse's expression is still the same as what we saw at the beginning, with half-open eyes and a wide open mouth, but this time there are bursts of smoke in the mouth, and the smoke does not disperse in the air, but directly emerges from the mouth to form a curved arc, and then burrows into the nostrils, or rather, the order is reversed.

The smell of smoke in the morgue made the smell of the room that was already filled with disinfectant even worse, and Hu Zongren and I were stunned and looked at the corpse, not because we were stupid, but because we noticed that the corpse was also looking at us with the same eyes, so that Hu Zongren and I had to think about whether it would pounce directly if we took a step closer, compared to the pure ghost, this kind of ghost that occupied his corpse was more terrifying.

In the previous conversation with Situ on the phone, I also knew that there is a difference between the living dead and zombies, because most of the zombies still exist in various film and television works, and people's impression of them is relatively established, because I have not seen zombies myself, if I followed the master to learn art earlier, I went to Xiangxi to witness Master Ma's corpse The time is not counted, but then, the corpse that Master Ma drove at that time is also fundamentally different from the one in front of me now. So I quietly, quietly panned my body, slowly moved behind Hu Zongren, used his big head to block the view between me and the corpse, and whispered behind Hu Zongren's head, why don't we light another cigarette and try?

Hu Zongren shook his head slightly and then said softly, it's useless, you see that half of the smoke on the ground hasn't burned yet, since this guy has stood up and looked at us, it means that he is on guard against us just like if we are guarding against him, in this case, the enemy does not move, I do not move, whoever moves first will die first. I whispered again, then there has to be a way, just stand and look at each other? Blind date? Hu Zongren said impatiently, don't make noise, I'm thinking!

While Hu Zongren was thinking, I also quickly thought of many ways to deal with it in my mind, although I had heard the name of the living dead a long time ago, but most of them did not need to be solved by the master, until its wish was understood, it would naturally leave, the time was very short, so short that before you realized that he was actually a dead man, his ghost had already left on its own. But this seems to be an exception in front of him, not only did he not choose to leave, nor did he even manipulate his body to fulfill his wish, but stayed in this freezer silently, judging from the strength of his previous grasp of Hu Zongren's hand, in fact, it was easy for him to subdue the two of us, and then break through this door and run outside, and the agility on the compass also showed this, but he didn't do anything for it, is it because I filled the whole room with a dressing array? Soon I rejected the idea, and the corpse fell out of the freezer, to the door, to the table smoking, and then to standing up straight and looking at us, during which time he almost walked the entire range of the morgue, although the light had the effect of dressing, and I had drawn each of these lamps, and the overlapping of the formations would only make the formation he had first come into contact with narrower, and since he was able to move freely, it meant that it was of no use to him at all.

At this time, Hu Zongren said to me softly, Lao Li, do you think this is good? I said that if you have anything to say, you quickly said, don't ask and answer with me, besides, how many times have I said, don't call me Lao Li, I am a few years younger than you. He said, you are short, the chassis is low, so the lower plate is more stable, this guy is not as tall as you, wait a minute, you rush up first, no matter what way you grab this guy's two hands first, you see that his feet have been bent, it means that he is weak, and after you grab his hand, I will rush up and cover his head with a sack.

I said this is a physical ghost, your sack is a fart, cover your head, are you kidnapped by the underworld? Hu Zongren said, have you noticed, there is smoke between his nose and mouth in and out of each other, which means that at least the two places of the nose and mouth are the two vents where his ghost is currently possessed by his corpse, and where there are holes, there will definitely be ghosts in and out, as long as I cover its head, he can only enter and not get out, and when I tie the rope, I will shoot a charm on him, and treat his own body as a sealed container.

Hu Zongren's analysis is quite reasonable, but we can't be sure that this guy's other vents are also blocked, such as chrysanthemums. So I told Hu Zongren my doubts, not for anything, but to hope that it would be safer, I don't want to wait for me to grab his hand, he will give me a kick in my life. Hu Zongren said, don't worry, his lower body must be blocked, don't you see that his feet are weak, and it seems to be hanging on the laboratory table just now. I thought to myself, and although I was very reluctant, I felt as if there was no other way for the time being, and I didn't even have the courage to turn around and open the door and run away. This guy in front of me really scared me, not because of his ghost, but because I was afraid of the way I died.

I took a few deep breaths behind Hu Zongren, the red rope of the grave soil was useless against this thing, his corpse was like a hard shell, and I basically couldn't get close to his ghost. So he squeezed his fist a few times, and silently recited a few courageous self-defense mantras in his heart:

"The Buddha on his head, the mouth recites Guanyin, Li Laojun on his chest, the true martial god behind him, the green dragon general on the left, the white tiger on the right, the disciple comes here, please protect the Dharma God, Polo reveals the truth, protects the disciple's body, the six stars of the South Dipper, the seven stars of the Big Dipper, I follow the decree of the saints of the three religions! Heaven and earth are taboo and there is no taboo! ”

I rarely use this spell, because I was originally from the ancestor of the witch family. However, this mantra has invited all the gods and goddesses of various religious secret methods, which is more suitable for those who have no teacher and no ancestry. For example, if you work at night, if you are traveling at night, if you are working in a funeral parlor, or if you are like us and you are showing up in the morgue without reason, when you don't know which method should be more effective to deal with this guy in front of you, you should be familiar with this mantra to protect yourself and strengthen your courage. It's also because I'm more afraid of the relationship, if it's just a ghost, I'll rush up after a trip in my heart.

When I finished reading, I flashed out from behind Hu Zongren, and my way was still to pan my body, because I had to face the corpse to feel a little more at ease. And just when I flashed out, I clearly saw that the corpse's eyes were originally staring at Hu Zongren, but at this moment, they suddenly looked at me. The kind of eyes that have become a little gray after death due to oxidation stared at me like this, which made my little liver start to pound rapidly, and the corpse except for the eyes that began to rotate with me, the rest of the body was still and motionless, after all, it was a dead body, and it was strange to move. And that's why I find it weird.

As a temptation, I took a small step forward, and my face tensed, trying not to let the corpse perceive what I was trying to do, to see if he would react to my approach, and if so, I turned and ran away a little closer to the door. But he never moved, so I took another step forward, this time a little bigger, the position of the doorway where Hu Zongren and I were standing and the position of the corpse happened to be the longer sides of this slightly rectangular room, so my current position was about 7 or 8 meters away from the corpse, and when I took a bold step again, my toes had just touched the ground, but I heard a very strange sound from the place where the corpse was, and the business was very similar to the sound of reaching out and rubbing on the wall coated with putty ashI quickly stopped my movements, still looking for the source of the sound, and soon I realized that it was because the corpse's originally slightly bent feet were standing a little straighter at this time, which was definitely a danger signal for me, because I wasn't sure if he would attack me directly when I took a step closer.

After a moment of hesitation, I still turned my eyes to Hu Zongren and asked him for help. Hu Zongren frowned at me and nodded, which seemed to mean that you were stunned, why are you doing it quickly. Why don't you go up by yourself and coax the blind man to jump off the cliff? Then he slowly reached his waist with his hand, ready to untie the gossip bag. Because the eyes of the corpse were looking at me, although I didn't know if I could also see Hu Zongren's small movements at the same time, but I still mustered up the courage, turned my head and continued to look at the corpse, and then took a step forward, this time I saw that the fingers of the corpse's right hand seemed to twitch slightly, as if people usually unconsciously flicked their fingers when sleeping, this time I didn't have time to hesitate and stop, I didn't stand still and continued to take a step forward, at this time, the corpse's originally crooked neck stood up, obviously, The appearance of his series of actions is all because of my step by step. I thought to myself that I would come up to fight you anyway, and I couldn't care so much, so I didn't stop any longer, and I walked directly towards the corpse for the rest of the meters.

When I was about to pounce and grab his hand, he suddenly straightened his hand, the angle of his palm was 45 degrees, his elbow was slightly bent, and the other hand remained the same, at this time Hu Zongren suddenly shouted behind me, you wait!

I'm not attentive enough, and once someone disrupts my steps, the rest of me will be completely messed up. So when I was going to work hard, Hu Zongren asked me to wait, which made my arrogance accumulated at once instantly discharged. Before I could react, Hu Zongren said, he doesn't seem to be attacking you, you see his gestures.

I looked closely, and although he still had the same dead face, the gesture was very much like asking me to hold him or shake hands, I didn't quite understand, but it was true, that posture was not intended to attack me.
