Chapter 3: Death, Mutation
I don't remember how I got home, I seemed to have climbed a long way, I seemed to hitchhike, and the driver was almost so scared that he peed his pants because I was covered in blood.
"Hmm...... Sorry, I met a robber. I said casually.
As soon as the driver found out that he had hit and killed someone, and even crushed a beautiful girl, he was so frightened that he immediately fled, although this behavior was very contemptible, but ...... Let him be, it's a blessing that this thing didn't want to kill me, you must know that some of the drivers are very cruel now.
I didn't go to the police, because I didn't know if the police would believe what I said, the corpse? I hadn't heard of it at all, and I didn't go to the hospital, and although I was seriously injured, it would have alarmed the police and made the matter public.
I don't know if I should hide it or not, but tonight it really scared the hell out of me, and I just thought about running away from the blood and stumps on the ground, never to mention it again, not even to think about it again.
What's more, when Shaohua said that he was a corpse demon last night, he mentioned the word 'we', what does this mean? It shows that there is not only Shaohua as a corpse demon in the world, but also other ......
Will there be her companions? If I tell the truth, will I be silenced by Shaohua's companions?
It's annoying, I'm just an ordinary person, I don't want to be involved in the world of monsters, so ...... Let's pretend that we don't know anything and that nothing has happened.
Besides, I'm really tired, I just want to get a good night's sleep and recover from my injured body.
Lying on the bed, I touched the wound on my neck, I don't know when the bleeding has stopped, it seems that although Shaohua bit very hard, my body is still good, and the speed of scarring is so fast.
It's just that the wound was very itchy and a little numb, but I was really sleepy, so I wrapped it in gauze a few times and then ignored it, and fell asleep groggy.
Actually, my situation at the moment is very wrong, whether it is my physical condition or the wound I was bitten by Shaohua, it is very wrong, but I didn't find it at the time.
And one day a few years later, when I look back on that day, if I could choose again, would I have made a different choice and would have gone to the hospital for help......
The answer is unknown, maybe even if I go to the hospital, I can't change anything, but it will really cause myself a lot of trouble, because from the moment I was bitten by Shaohua, the end was actually doomed.
The end is ...... I died, I wasn't eaten by Shaohua, and I was lucky enough to escape from the thunderous truck, but I ended up dying and dying in my own bed.
No, the bleeding on the neck has stopped, and the back injury has at most displaced the vertebrae, which is not fatal, but the real fatal thing is the toxin that seeped into my body along her teeth when Shaohua bit me.
I should be able to think of vampires or zombies on TV, and even alien monsters in some sci-fi movies, after biting a human being, they will seep toxins into their teeth, and even dogs will be infected with rabies virus if they bite people, not to mention that Shaohua is still a corpse demon that is more terrifying than all the above.
However...... I ignored it, and when I woke up, everything changed, including myself.
Yes, even though I was in bed for three days and three nights, even though I was dead, I still woke up, and I was still woken up by the ringing of the phone.
I haven't been to work in the company for three days, and the manager has already been furious.
"It's been three days?" I was stunned for a long time before I reacted, and hurriedly panicked and said that I was sick, and the sick note would definitely be made up, anyway, the doctor in the small clinic downstairs was very undisciplined, and a pack of cigarettes.
I just woke up and didn't know what was going on, I just felt a little dizzy in my head, I took a cool shower to barely recover, and I felt a pang of hunger in my stomach.
"Rub, I really don't know how I slept for so long, I haven't eaten for three days. I laughed to myself as I opened the fridge and pulled out a few packets of instant noodles and puffed snacks.
Strange to say, although puffed snacks are not nutritious, I have always liked to eat them the most, but today I looked at the packets of potato chips and shrimp crackers, and I couldn't even raise my appetite, could it be that I was overly hungry?
It's the same with instant noodles, I soaked two packs of the three fresh flavors that I usually like, but I spit them out in just one bite.
"Damn, it's broken? What does this smell like bird? "I rushed into the toilet and rinsed my mouth desperately, but I still didn't realize that it was not the instant noodles that were broken, but my taste and my body.
The hunger in my stomach became stronger and stronger, but I couldn't even eat a bite of the food in the refrigerator, and I was depressed, so I had to turn around and go out, and the wonton noodles from the food stalls downstairs were still very suitable for my taste.
"Huh, Xiao Li didn't go to work today, and he was resting at home. At the top of the stairs, the landlady with a large bag greeted her with a smile.
"Well, a little uncomfortable and called in sick. ”
"Sick? yes, I haven't seen you look like you have changed a lot in a few days, your face is so pale, it seems that you have lost a lot of weight, and your eyes are red. The landlady frowned and said, "Xiao Li, don't blame the aunt for nagging, if you are sick, you have to go to the hospital to take a look, you can't just lie at home." ”
"Uh-huh, I'll go in a minute. I said perfunctorily, seeing that my aunt was struggling to carry it, I hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Let me help you, how do you buy so many things? What are you going to do?"
"It's nothing, my daughter is coming back after graduating from college, so I went to buy a few new quilts and sheets, and bought some snacks that she loves to eat at home. The aunt was not polite, and handed over the two big bags with a smile, and I quickly caught them.
There was nothing wrong with this, but just as our hands touched each other, something unexpected happened, and the landlady trembled violently, her hand slipped, and the package almost fell down the stairs.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you?" I said blankly.
"I didn't ...... Not...... Xiao Li, how do you ...... your hand" The aunt said with a stunned face: "It's cold, like a dead man's hand, you better go to the hospital to take a look, your illness is estimated to be a bit serious." ”
Auntie's words made my expression change, if I can't think of anything like this, then I'm really an idiot, because the first weird feeling that Shaohua gave me that night was that her body temperature was very low.
"Oh...... Okay, I'll go home and grab my wallet and go. "I didn't care about helping my aunt carry the package, so I rushed home with a random reason, and even when I remembered my aunt's other words......
My face was pale, my eyes were red, and my body was cold, no! This was not right! This seemed to describe Shaohua that night, in front of the mirror in the bathroom, I was frightened by my own appearance just by one glance.
From an outsider's point of view, I feel a little sick at most, but in my own opinion, how similar I am to Shaohua at the moment, my face is not only white, it is simply bloodless, and my red eyes are also a little weird...... It looks like even the pupils are about to turn red!
And the body temperature, I couldn't feel how low my body temperature was, but when I took out the temperature measurement and measured it, I realized......
"It's only 20 degrees?" I was so shocked that my jaw almost dropped, no wonder my aunt was scared like that just now, how could a normal person have such a low body temperature?
I think back to the scene when I vomited everything I ate...... Something is wrong, what the hell is wrong with me? I tore the gauze off my neck in confusion.
Wounds...... Without.
This discovery made me relax for a few seconds, but soon, I fell into an even greater panic, the skin on my neck should have been torn apart by Shaohua's teeth, even if the bleeding stopped quickly, there was no reason to be intact in three days, not even a scar.
It was getting more and more wrong, and I scratched my neck desperately, trying to find even a trace, but it ......
In another astonishing discovery, my hand was pressed against the major artery in my neck, but I couldn't feel the pulse, so I jerked off my shirt and pressed my hand to my heart.
Poof, I sat on the ground, no, I didn't even have a heartbeat, only a dead person would have no heartbeat, could I ...... Already dead? Sleep for three days and then die directly?
But why can a dead man still walk, why can he still open his mouth to speak, and even think, this ...... I don't understand all of this at all.
Also, why did I become like this? I just slept for a while, and even if I slept for a long time, there was no reason for me to become so virtuous, and the only explanation seemed to be...... Shaohua!
When the term corpse demon came to mind again, I suddenly understood something, and my expression was as if I was about to cry.
Yes, corpse demon, how can a living human be called a corpse, although I didn't pay attention to Shaohua's heartbeat that night, I only remember that I was carried away by love, and my heartbeat was loud enough to overshadow everything, but now in retrospect, Shaohua should also have no heartbeat, she is just a corpse, just a corpse, and now I ...... It seems to be too.
My brain had already completely collapsed, and I sat in the bathroom, staring blankly at the ceiling, stroking the atrium that could no longer beat, and I ...... I actually died, I escaped Shaohua's killing, but I was only bitten by her......
It seems that I have become the same corpse demon as Shaohua, the kind of monster that makes me sick, and it seems that I am no longer human.
