When I was in the mountain village with Meng Dongxue, she used to force me to study with me, so I learned a lot of newly learned words and concepts from her. For example, she said that we live in a three-dimensional space, so everyone will become three-dimensional, and only then will there be a sense of perspective from distant mountains and near waters.

And the four dead people in front of me, neatly arranged, all turned their heads to look at me, this strange sense of perspective not only proves the new concept that Meng Dongxue taught me, but also proves the truth that people will not die if they don't die. Maybe if I hadn't lifted the last curtain, this wouldn't have happened. Man is a strange creature, and he naturally rejects death, which is why I can tell at a glance that four of the four rows standing in the row are dead bodies.

The first one was a young man, about the same age as me, his left eye was a big blood hole, and his right eye was only open eyelids, and the kernel of his eyes was slightly turned up in his eyelids, although he was facing me, but if the angle of his eyes was concerned, he was looking at the direction of the top of my head, and the blood hole in his left eye, I could see, was the result of being shot, and this shot was the one that killed him.

The second man was a slightly chubby middle-aged man, bald, with a small slit in his eyes, and I couldn't see the inside clearly, and the half of his face had some scars that resembled rubbing on the ground, but there was no blood. It's just that there is a skull missing from the bald head, and the skin and flesh are flying everywhere where it is broken, but there seems to be no brain in the skull, or it has already flowed clean.

The third person was a woman, quite beautiful in appearance, with neat hair, and like the first young man, her eyelids were slightly open, or she was not blind at all. Her inner eyelids, nostrils, and mouth were covered with blood, but there were signs of drying up and blackening. Judging from the appearance, there are no obvious external injuries, and I can't guess what the cause of death is for the time being, but this seven-hole bleeding method of death should be that the body has been violently impacted, causing blood to flow out from every hole in the body leading to the outside of the body.

The last one was a middle-haired man who looked to be in his thirties, a little thin, a little tall, with the corners of his mouth facing down, but he grinned slightly, and I could see the white teeth inside through the dark green lips, but between the teeth there was red and black, which should also be bloodstains. His cheeks were sunken, his chin was crooked, as if his jawbone had been broken and he hadn't had time to pick it up, and in the center of his head, there was a distinct inverted triangle opening, which looked through from my vantage point, as if the man had been struck head-on with an axe.

I might not be particularly scared if I showed any of these four dead people alone, but the appearance of four of them together and their movements so neatly made people feel frightened. And after that strange "look to the right", the four dead men all looked at me, and it was clear that they had only turned their heads after hearing the command, and it was only then that I realized that I was the one on the far right, the one who needed to be seen by them.

I couldn't see behind me because I couldn't turn my neck too much, but I guessed that when the lights flickered, there were four people by the wall and one person behind them, and there were five people here besides me. The one who gave the order was the one with wet hair I saw when I turned around. Judging from the man's sloppy eyes, he was also a dead man, and the blood stains on his forehead showed that he had shed a lot of blood when he died, and maybe the wet hair was also coagulated because of the blood. It proves that he also suffered a lot of trauma. In this way, I judged in my heart that these five dead people had one thing in common, that is, they did not die naturally, and they all died very tragically.

I now finally understand why the old man who guards the door looked so frightened during the day, why the old man behind my ear who asked for directions, why he asked me if I was here to pick up people, why he lamented the years with a strange young man like me. I also understood why Senior Qin refused to say a word, but asked me to come here, it turned out to be for me to solve this strange matter.

That's right, Senior Qin, this is his test for me, it is my chance to prove myself, although I am not good at learning, but I am a trustworthy person, although I know that even if I am unable to solve the matter in front of me, in the end, Senior Qin will solve it, but if I get to that point, not only will I have no face, but even my master will be embarrassed.

Thinking of this, I forced myself to calm down, after all, from the time I came in to the present, even if I fell and fainted, it was because I didn't stand firm, if I wanted to be held responsible, I really can't blame the five dead people around me, I can only blame me for being cowardly and careless. I quickly sorted it out in my mind.

Obviously, within seven hours of death, the body will be completely stiff, so it is not very reasonable to make a stiff corpse turn its head or stand up. So I judged that these corpses were able to move as if they were living without being pulled by external forces, and that they were controlled by the power of invisible ghosts. In other words, these four dead people around me are completely dead, and even ghosts are not here. Then the only ghost present must be the one who is talking behind me. But when I pushed him down earlier, it felt very heavy, but the touch was very real, as if I had pushed a figure filled with iron sand. Coupled with my judgment of the moment I saw him, I thought that he was also a real corpse, but this corpse would show an emotional expression, would have obvious intent to control these things, and even could speak, which was really beyond my comprehension.

I quickly recalled in my mind every book I had read, every word Master had ever said to me, trying to find some clues related to the things in front of me, and suddenly I remembered that once when we were chatting with Master while eating, we had talked about zombies, but at that time, there was no word for "zombies", so Master told me the word "living dead".

Literally, it means a dead person like a living person.

Master said that there are many kinds of metaphysics in the world, and most of them can lead to the same end, but there are differences in understanding in their respective religious environments. But Master mentions a particularly strange religion, even a cult, that originated in Africa and flourished in the Americas, but its influence spread to almost the whole world, this religion is known for all kinds of witchcraft, called "voodoo", the two most famous of which are needle pricking villains and resurrecting the dead.

In fact, this kind of trick of pricking the villain is involved in many witchcraft, and even in the Taoism I have learned, it will be involved to some extent, so I don't think it is unusual. But it was the resurrection of the dead that I found incredible. As the saying goes, life and death have fate, if you use some metaphysical means to prolong the life of a dying person, I will think that God has the virtue of a good life, but to resurrect the dead again is obviously against the sky. At that time, I was relatively naïve, and I excitedly said to Master that if this was the case, how many families could recover the pain of losing their loved ones, which was a great thing. Master told me that although he had not seen it in person, he knew that those who were "resurrected" were like machines, with only functions and no souls. You can eat but you don't know what to eat, you can sleep but you just close your eyes and don't sleep, except for your heartbeat and your circulars, the rest are no different from those of a dead person.

So the "living dead" I was amazed at the beginning was the one behind me who called the shots? I have long heard of the Qin seniors' essence channel method and Miao Wu's technique, could it be that Miao Wu also has the trick of resurrecting the dead, is this a problem he deliberately left me? If it is really the "living dead", then why can these corpses be controlled? Why can't my body move?

The more I thought about it, the more scared I became. It is not these corpses that are afraid, but the unknown fear in my heart. Just when I was terrified, the strange voice sounded again:

"Look ahead! Turn left! ”

The voice was very strange, like a mouthful of phlegm stuck in his throat, and the voice was muffled, and it was also like the sound of someone covering a towel in his mouth and talking through the towel. However, I can swear that I did not follow his instructions to turn to the left, but as if my body had become something other than my own, I made a left-turn motion with one side and one foot in the same standard.

When I turned around, the heads of the four dead men were all facing away from me, especially the first young man, who was less than a foot away from me, and I could smell the stench of corpses coming from the pile of his hair, even through the medical mask on his face. And now that my body turned to the left, I rolled my eyes a little, and I saw the "living dead" giving orders.

But it's very strange, you say that he is also a dead man, but he does not have the stiff posture of the dead man in front of him, because he is pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, three steps left and three steps to the right, his head is very flexible on his neck, and his eyes are constantly aiming at the four dead people and me, if it is not for the white blue skin, and the eyes that cannot be focused, judging from these movements alone, it is really no different from a living person, only the four dead people and me who are being controlled by it, which means that he is a ghost, And it's a ghost with no small power.

Since there are ghosts, it means that they are not the living dead, after all, ghosts are also souls, at least a little higher than the living dead. So when I ruled out the possibility of the "living dead", there was only one result:

Resurrect the soul!
