Chapter Twenty-Three: The Red Wedding Dress
After walking around this sparse snack street again, Yu Youwei and Zhang Chongzhi did not have a lot of information, and each boss's statement was not completely consistent, it seemed that if you really knew what was going on, you still had to go to the hospital to see.
After not much gain, the two decided to go back to the inn to rest first, and then visit the hospital the next day.
Back at the inn, Yu Youwei took some time to get used to the layout of the room, but he couldn't accept that the large bronze mirror was facing the bed. The mirror cannot face the bed, this should be the consensus rooted in the hearts of every Chinese, but the boss has to challenge the impossible, but Yu Youwei can't accept it, so he took out a large bath towel to cover the mirror, and then he was relieved to prepare to wash.
In the middle of summer, Yu Youwei walked into the bathroom but was cold, hesitated for a moment, she decided to turn on the heater, but after looking around, she found that there was no heater in the bathroom at all, so she had no choice but to endure it and rely on herself to heat up.
The water sprayed out of the showerhead, overshadowing the other sounds, and the warm water flowed through Yu You's slightly tired body, allowing her to temporarily empty herself and hum her favorite song happily.
If she were in the bedroom at this time, she would see a black shadow squeezing into the room through a crack under the door.
After taking a shower, Yu Youwei took out a mask that he couldn't remember to use after a long time, and planned to lie down on the bed and take a good rest. When she was concentrating on applying the mask in the mirror, Leng Buding caught a glimpse of a shadow floating by the bathroom door, and she immediately woke up when she was sleepy. But when I looked back, there was nothing outside the door, so I thought it was a mistake in my eyes and didn't care.
Back in the bedroom, Yu Youwei was startled by the two stone statues at the head of the bed, and regretted that he didn't take the small wooden sword that Lan Bing bought, whether it was useful or not, at least it could strengthen his courage.
After taking a turn in the room, Yu Youwei adapted to the furnishings in the room again, and decided to sleep with the lights on, saying that he would not live here tomorrow, it was enough to experience it freshly, there was no need to experience it all the time.
Maybe it was because the day was too tired, Yu Youwei fell asleep without waiting to take off the mask, until the mask dried, and the skin on his face was tight and painful, and then he opened his eyes again.
A cyan face was ten centimeters in front of her, and she could smell the rancid smell of that face, but fortunately she was so frightened that she forgot to scream, because in the next second, a drop of copper-green rotten water dripped from that face, dripping onto her lips.
Yu You came back to his senses slightly, quickly got up and ran out of bed, only to see the owner of that face, a red wedding dress. She read it right, the unkempt head stood on top of a red wedding dress, she didn't open the window before going to bed, but the red wedding dress swayed wildly in the windless room.
Yu Youwei's first reaction was to run, but an invisible force trapped her, making her stand still and unable to move.
The red wedding dress floated in front of her before the head, and then, the head also teleported to Yu Youwei's eyes, screaming, "Why are you sleeping in my bed!" ”
Yu Youwei's hands and feet couldn't move, so he could only shake his head desperately and shout, "Who are you, is this bed your bed?" I was wrong, I'll give you back the bed, I'm sorry, can you let me go? ”
The red wedding dress moves flexibly as if it were the body of the head, and the sleeves are open and clawed, as if expressing the anger of the head.
The expression on that face became even more angry, "Why are you sleeping in my bed!" With the screams, the color of the wedding dress became darker and darker, and he made strange dance moves around Yu Youwei, his head jumped up and down, but his mouth still didn't stop, "Why are you sleeping in my bed!" ”
Yu You was about to cry slightly, what is going on, he can't move, he can't run out, and the one in front of him doesn't look like a master who can speak clearly, what the hell does this thing want to do.
When people are particularly anxious, they always think of some things that they don't have, and Yu Youwei suddenly thought of the time when he was trapped by a fantasy at the airport, and when he couldn't get rid of the nightmare, he seemed to rely on the pain of the wound to force himself out.
She bit the tip of her tongue again, but the head in front of her was still flying in front of her eyes, getting closer and closer to her face, and even opened her mouth wide when she approached her, and she could clearly see long fangs poking out of her mouth.
In a hurry, Yu Youwei spurted a mouthful of blood to the head in front of him, the head seemed to be burned by flames, a cyan face instantly seemed to melt away, the rotting flesh and blood dripped to the ground, and the head let out an extremely sharp cry, which turned into a puff of black smoke and disappeared in front of Yu Youwei's eyes.
Yu Youwei tried to move her body, and found that the force that bound her was gone, and she was about to crouch down to observe the carrion that fell to the ground, but the moment she squatted, the carrion turned into a cloud of black smoke and disappeared without leaving any trace.
For a moment, Yu You was a little overwhelmed, until the pain on the tip of her tongue called her back to reality, her brain was surprisingly clear at this time, and she remembered where the familiarity of Zhang Chongzhi's bed came from, the dark brown solid wood, the style that made people sink into it, isn't that the coffin!
Zhang Chongzhi is in danger! Yu Youwei firmly believes that Zhang Chongzhi must have encountered some strange things at this time, and he must not know that he has to save him by relying on the pain of the wound to get out of trouble!
Yu Youwei didn't even bother to change her clothes, she ran out of the door quickly, knocking on Zhang Chongzhi's door vigorously, she knew that an irreparable situation could happen every second.
"Zhang Chongzhi! Zhang Chongzhi! Yu Youwei knocked on the door with all his might, and after a while, the sleepy-eyed Zhang Chongzhi opened the door.
The two of them were stunned when they saw the person in front of them, Yu Youwei didn't expect that nothing strange happened when Zhang Chongzhi slept on the coffin-like bed. And Zhang Chongzhi glanced back at the wall clock on the wall, and then looked at Yu Youwei who was wearing pajamas in front of him with a panicked face, very confused, "What happened?" He knew that Yu Youwei would not knock on his door at three o'clock in the morning for no reason.
Seeing Zhang Chongzhi unscathed, Yu You hesitated slightly.
Zhang Chongzhi found the blood on the corner of Yu Youwei's mouth in the dim light, he frowned, and he knew what happened to him, "Come in and say." ”
Yu Youwei only found out that she was still wearing pajamas at this time, although her pajamas were short-sleeved shorts that could be worn outside, but it was not good to be in the same room with an adult man in pajamas, so she returned to the room first and put on a long cardigan, and then carefully closed the door and came to Zhang Chongzhi's room.
As soon as he entered the door, he was stunned by the first sentence, "Zhang Chongzhi, I seem to have encountered a supernatural event." ”
"Paranormal events?" Zhang Chongzhi's eyes widened, "What a supernatural event." As he spoke, he took out a cotton towel from the table, opened a bottle of mineral water to wet the cotton towel, and gently wiped the blood on the corner of Yu Youwei's mouth.
Yu Youwei thanked him a little unnaturally, and then talked about the experience just now, "I saw a head, only a head, no body, and its body part is a red wedding dress......" Just as he was about to continue, Yu Youwei saw the portrait at the entrance.
Her body froze, and the red wedding dress she saw was the one worn by the woman in the portrait.
Looking in the direction that Yu Youwei was looking at, Zhang Chongzhi also linked the portrait with Yu Youwei's unfinished words, "What do you mean?" ”
Yu You nodded weakly, her mind was a little messy, could it be that the woman in this portrait had anything to do with this hotel?
Zhang Chongzhi let Yu Youwei sit on the chair, sat opposite her, and slowly spoke, "Don't be afraid, you first tell me in detail what you have seen." ”
Yu Youwei told Zhang Chongzhi all the things he had just experienced, without ignoring any detail, and at the end, she reminded Zhang Chongzhi, "You also have to remember this little trick, when you encounter this kind of predicament, you bite your tongue like me, or tear a little if you have a wound, as soon as you feel pain, the spirit will prevail." ”
Zhang Chongzhi's expression had been very focused when he listened to Yu Youwei tell him what had just happened, but when Yu Youwei taught him the little trick to get out of the predicament, there was an expression on his face that seemed to be smiling, and this expression flashed, and Yu Youwei disappeared on his face before he could doubt.
"I'll review it first, I booked the inn, I thought the promotional page was doing very well, you might like it, but I didn't expect it to be self-defeating."
Yu Youwei didn't think of blaming Zhang Chongzhi at all, if it weren't for the fact that she herself was also interested in this weird inn, just because Zhang Chongzhi booked here, she wouldn't have chosen to stay, "I don't mean to blame you, I'm such a big person, if I don't want to live here, I will go somewhere else by myself." ”
Zhang Chongzhi smiled and turned on the computer to search for all the information about this hotel.
The reviews of the hotel are mixed, and the pictures are all eerie and scary, but no one mentions strange things during their stay.
Yu Youwei grabbed the computer, re-entered the keywords: inn, portrait, red wedding dress, and immediately searched for something different.
"Look here." Yu Youwei pointed to a line of words, "The inn can be used as a container, and the guests staying in the inn are the food in the container, and absorbing the soul of the living can make the spiritual power of the bride who died with hatred in the portrait soar, driven by the inn owner......"
Yu Youwei stared at Zhang Chongzhi's eyes, "Do you see this meaning that this inn is actually a magic circle, and we are the donors in this magic circle." ”
Zhang Chongzhi nodded, the complexity of this inn was far beyond his imagination, he really just wanted to live in an inn with local characteristics, but this inn was still hidden, "It seems that this inn can't live." ”
Yu You sighed slightly, it is true that he can't live, but in the current situation of Boyan County, where can they go after they walk out of here? But she didn't say anything, the tip of her tongue was still oozing blood, and she didn't want to encounter this kind of scene that required self-harm to solve.
"Then I'll go back and pack my things." Yu You got up slowly, his mentality was a little broken, and he suddenly wanted to be bad, he didn't want to do anything tomorrow, he just wanted to sleep well, from morning to night.
But tomorrow's events will not be known until tomorrow, and now they must solve the problem of finding another safe place to live.
