The big green-backed centipede, which was twenty centimeters long, was coiled in two circles in a small wooden box, and at this moment it was frightened by me, and it wriggled in the box for a while, and slowly raised its head. I saw that the centipede's body was densely packed with yellow calves on both sides, and I thought to myself, this is really a centipede. I know that centipedes are generally highly poisonous, but I was not very afraid when I was a child, that is because my family lives in the north, and the largest centipede I have ever seen is only the size of a willow leaf.

Although I knew that the road was dangerous, my curiosity led me to open another wooden box. This time, inside was a huge black-haired spider, which was also surprisingly large, and could even make a "hissing" sound. I looked at a few other small wooden boxes, which were also poisonous insects, and one of them contained a purple-backed scorpion. Even though each of them seemed more terrifying than the other, at least I could call them by name, but when I opened the last wooden box, it was beyond my expectations.

The five or six small wooden boxes that had been opened earlier contained all large poisonous insects, and each wooden box contained only one piece. However, as soon as I got the last wooden box, I felt that something was wrong, because it was obviously heavier than the other wooden boxes. When I opened it, I was shocked and then nauseated, and the box was filled with maggot-sized red larvae. I took a quick look and felt that there were not thousands but hundreds of bugs in the box, and at the moment they were wriggling together, and at the same time emitting a strong stench. I looked closer, and I felt my scalp tingle, and a chill crept down my spine to the back of my neck. I saw that inside the swarm of red larvae, there was a huge beetle like a boiled lobster, it seemed that it should be the adult of the red larvae, that kind of worm, I have never seen it, so naturally I can't name it. But what really scares me is the swarms of larvae that are eating the giant adult.

I was looking at it intently, when I suddenly noticed that some larvae had crawled up the edge of the box to my wrist because it had been a little long since the lid had been open, and I was so excited that I immediately closed the lid. I felt that my wrist was itchy, and when I looked again, it turned out that the worm that had crawled on my wrist was actually trying to get into my skin, and look at the momentum, the head had already gotten into it. I hurriedly grabbed the tail of the larva with the tips of my fingers and pulled it out, but I didn't expect the body of the worm to be broken in two, and the head of the larva was still burrowing into my flesh and skin, and after a while, I was completely invisible.

At this moment, suddenly someone tapped me on the shoulder, and I turned around sharply to find that Bu Jin had been awake for some time, and was standing behind me expressionlessly, staring at me. I remembered her eyes in the bathroom just now, and I couldn't help but feel a little palpitating, but looking at her appearance, I found that she had returned to her original calm and quiet appearance. But, obviously, she was disgusted to see me looking through her things, so she walked up to me and wrapped her cloth bag again.

I knew that it was rude, so I stammered, "Well, don't get me wrong, I'm just curious, so I took a casual look." ”

I don't know if Bu Jin didn't understand my words again, or if she was angry with me, she silently hugged her cloth bag and went back to her bed to sleep.

I saw that she regarded herself as a treasure with a cloth bag, and I thought, this girl of this minority is really tough, what is wrong with liking, she has to like those ugly and poisonous things?

I got up and wanted to go to the toilet to smoke a cigarette, but I still had some lingering palpitations at the thought of the dark shadow in the toilet just now, so I walked out of the room and lit a cigarette in the hallway.

After smoking, I didn't want to go back to my room, so I went downstairs and asked the waiter for two cans of beer. Although it is already more than ten o'clock in the evening, the business at the front desk of the hotel is still very hot, there are still many young people eating and drinking here, and there are also many middle-aged men in the private room to discuss business.

A waiter in his twenties handed me two cans of beer, I gave him the money, and asked casually, "Hey, brother, I'll ask you something." ”

"What's the matter?" The waiter asked.

I thought about how to ask, and finally felt that it was better to get straight to the point, so I asked directly: "Dude, have you ever died in this hotel?" ”

When the waitress heard this, he looked at me in surprise, suddenly became a little stumbling, and said, "You, who are you?" Are you a police officer? ”

"Ahem, what's wrong with me, what policeman have you ever seen like me?" I patted him on the back and pretended to be calm, "I'm just asking." ”

"I don't know about this, if you want to inquire, just ask someone else." After saying that, the waiter got up and was about to leave.

I hurriedly stopped him, pulled him to a corner of the hotel, stuffed him with fifty yuan, and said, "Dude, look at you, what's the hurry, don't I just inquire first." I'm a curious person since I was a child, and if you don't tell me, then I'll have to fight insomnia for the rest of my life. ”

The waiter took the fifty yuan, thought about it, and then stuffed the fifty yuan back to me, and said, "I don't know the way, I really don't know the way, you better ask someone else." ”

Listening to his words, a fool can understand that he must know the truth of the matter, but it is obvious that he is a little taboo to mention that matter, as if he is afraid that others will know that the Tao is his secret. Seeing him like this, I was even more determined to let him say it, so I took out another hundred yuan, and stuffed it to him with the fifty yuan just now, and said, "Dude, don't worry about me, don't you?" Afraid that I'll leak the news? Don't worry, I will never say that you told me, to tell you the truth, my family is from the Northeast, and I won't stay in Yunnan for long, and I will go back in a few days. ”

This time, the waiter took the money, obviously moved, and when he heard that I was from the Northeast and would not stay in Yunnan, he was even more relieved. So, he led me to the stairs leading to the guest room of the hotel, and suddenly said to me in a low voice: "It's not that I don't tell you, but I really don't dare to say it, if I don't get it right, I may lose my head." ”

I handed him a cigarette and asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”

He looked left and right and found that there was no other person there, so he continued: "You listen to me tell you slowly, our hotel has indeed died, and it has not been for a long time, just more than three months ago. The person who died was a Miao girl. ”

"Miao girl?" I was shocked, I didn't know what to do, and suddenly thought of Long Bujin.

"That's right, the person died in the bathtub, and it just so happened that I was one of the witnesses."

"How did the Miao girl die?" I asked.

The waiter took a sharp puff of his cigarette and said as if with trepidation, "If I don't want to mention that thing, it's because of the girl's death." I mean, the girl's death was so bizarre, and the real cause of death was even more horrifying. ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. ”

"When we found the girl, she had been dead for probably days. She was lying in the tub, first found by a waitress, and then I and a few others arrived. That girl's death is really, really ......."

When I listened to his narration, I was almost anxious to die, and I said in my heart, why are you such a big man, but looking at his little face at the moment, it seems that he does recall very bad and terrible things. I didn't dare to bother, just waited patiently while smoking a cigarette.

After a while, the waiter gave me another cigarette and continued: "We all saw the girl when she first came, because she was so eye-catching, completely dressed in a standard traditional Miao costume, with the silverware on her head jingling. She was in very good shape and very thin, but when we found her body lying in the bathtub, several of us were shocked. Because the girl in the bathtub was not at all like what she used to be, her whole body was swollen, and at first glance she looked like she had become a big fat man, but when she looked at it again, it was definitely not a good thing, because her whole body was swollen and blue. ”

"No other scars?" I interrupted him.

The waiter shook his head and said, "No, there is no blood in the bathtub." Later, the police came to the hotel and conducted an investigation of the body, and found that the body could not find any wounds that could kill people, and there were no strangulation marks on the neck. However, just as the police were about to carry away the body, the corpse's stomach suddenly swelled, and we didn't pay much attention to it at first, thinking that the police had done it when they were moving the body. The two policemen, one with his shoulders and the other with his feet, saw the girl's head fall off at once. ”

I was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Wait, didn't you say that there are no fatal wounds?" ”

The waiter nodded and said, "It's true, no, because the real wound is inside." ”

"What do you mean?"

The waiter said: "The girl's corpse was full of maggot-like insects, and those insects had eaten up the girl's internal organs and even bones, so as soon as the police lifted the corpse, the girl's head was broken at once." Moreover, from the girl's neck and mouth at once, countless maggots crawled out. ”

I was horrified when I heard this, and I immediately thought of the big boiled lobster-like bug in Bu Jin's wooden box just now, and asked, "What happened then?" ”

"Later? Later, even the police were scared away, and the room was sealed, and it was not until the next day that a special insecticide expert arrived, but the insecticidal expert couldn't tell what kind of insect it was, and, the worst thing is, the general insecticide didn't work with Ben, and at the worst end, it was still a foam fire extinguisher or something else, plus dry ice to kill the swarm of insects, but at that time, the Miao girl was only left with a human skin. ”

As I listened to the waiter's narration, I felt more and more creepy, so I asked, "Has this case been solved after the last one?" ”

"Herein lies the problem." The waiter took a puff of his cigarette and said, "All of us know that the Miao girl came with a man, and we haven't seen the man since we found the girl's body." So, we all guessed that the murderer must have been that man. Moreover, all the monitoring equipment in our hotel is operating normally, which can provide reliable clues to the police, but three days later, the police hastily announced the closure of the case, saying that the deceased's death method has yet to be investigated, so the case has become an unsolved case. The waiter looked left and right again, and said to me: "If you want me to say, that man must be a man with a head and a face, and he has made money up and down, so no one dares to pursue it again, I am afraid that if you say that I told you all this, someone will come to me to settle accounts." ”

"What happened to that room?" I asked.

"Naturally, no one dared to live in the room anymore, and it was closed for more than a month, and our business in the store was also severely hit. But fortunately, our boss has a good relationship with the police, so the news is very closed. In this way, after the room was sealed for a month, the boss asked an old gentleman to do some magic and redecorate it again and use it normally. ”

"Is the room number 210?" I asked.

The waiter looked at me in surprise and asked, "How do you know the truth?" ”

At this moment, my mood was already extremely flat, because since then, my original view of the world has been affected like never before, and I just told him lightly, "I will stay in that room. ”
