Chapter 124: The Living Dead
With a few clicks, the window glasses around the car rose up, and even if I could shout, Gu Qihan couldn't hear it.
In the back seat, Meng Meng screamed, rushed towards me, and the black mist scattered a few wisps, like a snake, quickly rushed towards Meng Meng, and instantly tied it up, and the scream turned into a pitiful whimper, and after that, there was no sound at all.
I was so anxious that I was sweating profusely and struggling desperately, but the black mist was like a rope, tightening more and more, strangling me out of breath, my bones were about to break, I felt that my eyes were about to pop out of my sockets, I stared at Gu Qihan's back through the window glass, and shouted in my heart, come back quickly, come back quickly!
But he couldn't hear the cry of my heart, and he still stood on the side of the street, looking at the woman who burned the paper.
I desperately moved my fingers, trying to take out the soul slaying knife in the bag, but these strange black fogs, as if sensing my intentions, actually tied my fingers together, and then, I felt a cold, slippery tongue-like thing, licking in my ear, I shivered suddenly, goosebumps all over my body came out.
"You...... Who are you? I barely managed to squeeze a few words out of my throat and twisted my head in horror to see what was hiding behind me.
Behind me, a black, mushy face leaning on my shoulder, a few inches long, slowly licking my ears and neck, and a cold voice made people creepy, "Your soul, it's so fragrant, I really want to swallow you in one bite." ”
The black mist was like countless tentacles, wrapping me tightly, I couldn't even breathe, I struggled to squeeze out a few words, "Who are you?" ”
"I'm a mere mortal, and I'm not qualified to know my identity." The face lying on my shoulder suddenly came to my ear and said gloomily, "Don't meddle anymore, otherwise, I'll swallow you in one bite, by the way, and your good look!" ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a loud bang, the window glass was shattered, and all the fragments shot towards the black fog, Gu Qihan quickly reached out and grabbed it, I heard it howl, so I quickly let go of me, turned into wisps of black smoke, and escaped from all directions.
I was paralyzed, leaning on the back of the chair weakly, gasping heavily, Gu Qihan quickly opened the car door and hugged me out of the car, Meng Meng also jumped out of the car, very unrefreshed.
"Xiao Nan, how are you?" Gu Qihan's deep and dark eyes were full of concern and distress.
I had relented, but I was still frightened, hugged him tightly, and said, "It's all right." ”
He hugged me tightly, his deep eyes staring at me, "I'm sorry to frighten you, I shouldn't have left you alone in the car just now." ”
I shook my head, "It's okay, it's not your fault, no one expected that monster to appear." ”
His cold hand covered my neck, and the place where I was strangled by the black fog just now was instantly much more comfortable, I leaned on his arms, and my emotions gradually calmed down, I said, "Did you see what the body of the black fog was just now?" ”
He said no, he just finished talking to the woman who burned the paper, and when he turned around and saw the window glass rising, he didn't feel right, and immediately ran over, he tried the test door, but he couldn't open it, and in a hurry, he broke the glass, only to see a black mist wrapped around me, but unfortunately let it escape.
I told him a detailed picture of the situation, he originally looked solemn, and when I heard me say that the monster licked my neck with his tongue, his handsome face immediately darkened, and he hurriedly helped me wipe my neck, gritted his teeth and said, "That damn thing, dare to touch you, next time I get caught, I will peel his skin!" ”
I couldn't help but laugh and said to him, "That monster thinks very highly of himself, and says that I am a mere mortal, and I don't think he is like an ordinary ghost. ”
He carefully rubbed my neck and said in a nonchalant tone, "No matter who he is, if he dares to touch you, I will not let him go." ”
Inside the car, the seats were covered with glass shards, and with a wave of Gu Qihan's sleeves, the shards all gathered together and returned to their original state, and there was no trace of shattering on the window glass.
When I got in the car and left here, I found that the woman in black who was squatting on the side of the street and burning paper money had disappeared at some point.
I stared at the pile of ashes on the street and asked Gu Qihan, "You just went over to look at the woman who burned the paper, did you find anything?" ”
Gu Qihan glanced back at me, "I was about to tell you about this, that woman had a strong smell of rotting corpses, just like the living dead." ”
I was shocked, "The living dead? Like the zombies in the movie? ”
He snorted, "Although she is still alive, she has lost her soul, and the whole person is like a walking corpse, but her soul has not been lost for a long time, and she still retains her memories and a certain amount of sanity before her death, and she will not bite like the zombies in the movie." ”
He paused, and then said, "People have lost their souls, even if they are still alive, they can't be preserved for long, and I just saw that her face has begun to grow corpse spots." ”
I shuddered and asked him, "What will become of her in the future?" ”
"Her whole body will decay, and her memories and sanity will slowly fade, and finally she will completely become a walking corpse, and may even become the kind of ghoul we see during the day, living on carrion."
Thinking of the ghoul who pounced on the corpse and gnawed on, I couldn't help but shudder, and my heart was concerned, "How can a good person lose his soul?" ”
"This question can be solved now." Gu Qihan hit the steering wheel with his right hand, and the car turned into a street, not the way back to school, he said, "I just saw the deceased's name and home address on the paper money that the woman burned, I asked her, and she said that she was burning paper for her dead daughter." ”
In other words, the address written on the paper money is the address of the woman's home.
The car drove on the road for a while, and I suddenly saw a figure dressed in black on the side of the street, she was wearing a large black coat, with a hat, she wrapped herself in the hat, slightly hunched back, and walked forward, like an eighty-year-old woman, her back was very lonely and desolate.
I hurriedly called Gu Qihan, "Look at that woman, is it the one who burned paper?" ”
Gu Qihan slowed down, glanced at it, and said with certainty, "It's her." ”
The woman is slow and walks really slowly, we drive, the speed must be faster than her, but anyway, we know the address of her house, just go directly to her house.
The navigation guided us to an old community, and I suddenly remembered something, and said to Gu Qihan, "Professor Cao's family, don't you also live near here?" ”
He didn't know what to think, his eyes were solemn, his face was gloomy, he nodded slightly, and did not speak.
The woman in black lived in the second room on the second floor of the first unit of the third building, Gu Qihan took me into her home, and I immediately smelled a pungent smell, a faint rancid smell, mixed with a strong sandalwood fragrance, it is estimated that the owner deliberately used sandalwood to cover up the rancid smell.
The house is not big, two bedrooms and one living room, the living room is neatly organized, there is a black and white portrait hanging on the wall, there are white paper flowers hanging around the portrait, the portrait is a young and beautiful girl, about ten years old, with a sweet smile, she is the daughter of the woman in black, Ge Yueling, as for the female black woman, we saw her wallet on the coffee table, and her ID card was placed in the wallet, her name is Wang Huilan, and she is forty-three years old this year.
One bedroom door was just hidden, and one bedroom door had a large iron lock hanging from it, and the kitchen door was closed, and I felt that the rancid smell was coming from the kitchen.
I guessed correctly, when Gu Qihan opened the kitchen door, a strong fishy smell came to my face, I was almost smoked and vomited, the door of the living balcony was tightly closed, the air outside the house could not enter, and the house was full of rotten and fishy smell. At the door, there was a big freezer, Gu Qihan stepped forward and asked me to turn my head and not look at it, I also guessed that what was in it was definitely not a good thing, so I quickly turned my head.
Then I heard the freezer door open, and the rancid smell was even better, and I covered my nose, and finally I couldn't help but look back at the freezer, and when I saw what was going on inside, I couldn't help but retch, and almost threw up my dinner.
