Chapter 13 Chapter 9 The Dangerous Morgue

A cold body is the temperature for the soul to escape, but where is the destination of the cold soul? Many people say that the coldness of the morgue is exactly the coldness that gathers countless souls.Countless souls who could not find their way crowded and rubbed together in the morgue, corroding human will, so those with weak wills would see ghosts in the morgue. I never believed in such nonsense.I have been in Lushan Funeral Parlor for nearly ten days, and I am quite familiar with Lao Wang. Until then, Lao Wang, an old fox with a good personality, never invited me to his department.Every time I mentioned it vaguely, he pretended not to hear it.

Unexpectedly, the first visit came in in the form of an abnormal visit at midnight. Behind the door is Lao Wang's room. It is said that Lao Wang thought it was too troublesome to walk around in the dormitory, so he simply separated the front of the morgue with a cloth curtain to create a small space for his own nest. Did not expect to be true.I was thinking about how to deal with Lao Wang if he was not asleep, when I saw that Lao Wang was really awake, watching TV with his back to us. His lonely back was sitting on the head of the bed, the TV seemed a bit worn out, and even the sound from the speakers seemed blurred.In the morgue in early winter, coupled with the constant air-conditioning coming in from behind the curtains, even breathing seemed to be frozen.

"This room is so cold!" You Yuling wrapped herself in the crumpled Taoist robe, her thin body was pitiful. I took off my coat and put it on her, and looked at Lao Wang's back without blinking.The way he watches TV is weird.The sound of You Yuling pushing the door was not too low, and it didn't disturb him. Could it be that Lao Wang fell asleep? I changed the angle and finally saw the TV screen clearly.There were some strange pictures playing on the screen, and something was flying around in the picture, but the speed was so fast that it was hard to see clearly, and the speaker made an electric noise of "chi chi", which was very annoying.

Lao Wang didn't make any movement, which made me feel even more strange.Just as he was about to step forward to see what happened to him, he heard a slight noise from the morgue. It was the sound of things falling to the ground, and it was like the sound of uniform footsteps. You Yuling's face darkened, he pushed aside the opposite curtain and rushed forward, and shouted to me when he was done: "Be careful, don't touch that old man, he has a problem!" I frowned, and ran in with You Yuling.It was the first time for me to visit the morgue behind the curtain.In this huge space, the four walls are filled with densely packed refrigerators.If there are patients in intensive fear, they probably don't want to die here even if they die.

You Yuling turned on the lights, but the headlights at the top did not turn on, and only a few emergency lights were still flashing faint red light.The red light flashed and flashed, and I could only use this to see the surroundings clearly. I took out my phone and clicked on the flashlight function.A beam of white light pierced the darkness, and I looked around, but couldn't find the reason for the sound just now. In the morgue, except for the freezer that can store more than a hundred corpses, the middle is almost empty and there is nothing.The morgue of the funeral home is not like the police station, it also has the function of autopsy. Even the make-up artist who specializes in making up the corpse has a separate department, so there is nothing superfluous here.

You Yuling and I walked around the morgue with a dignified expression, but found nothing. "Look, there is obviously no ghost here." I muttered softly. You Yuling's big eyes kept cruising, "That's because you can't see it. In the eyes of this Taoist nun, the yin here is getting heavier and heavier. If you don't solve it, something will happen soon." Suddenly, a flashlight shone on a surgical cart.It was this cart that immediately attracted our attention! I saw a naked corpse lying on the cart, and the body bag of the corpse had been pulled open, exposing the head and chest of the deceased.A half-extinguished candle was placed at the leg of the corpse, just below the cart, and there was a person lying there.

Someone I don't know. I knelt down and took a look at this man. He was about forty years old, with short hair and a somewhat fierce face.I fumbled around him, but found no identifying papers. You Yuling pouted, "Seeing how serious you are, those who don't know will think you are a detective." "I've seen many detective movies and know some detective techniques." The man was dead, his body was cold, and it was difficult for him to tell the time of death due to the temperature of the morgue. "He is not an employee of Green Mountain Funeral Home." "How do you know?" The girl's eyes fell on the corpse on the operating rack, her eyes froze.

"Green Mountain Funeral Home has a total of 113 people. Except for the 22 people in the management team, I have all the other 91 people in my mind." I pointed to my head, "This person's hands are very rough. , should often be engaged in digging work. Naturally, no one in the management of Green Mountain Funeral Home has such a hobby of manual labor. I guess, he should be a professional grave robber." "You even guessed his occupation?" You Yuling was a little surprised. "It's easy to guess. The cocoons on the palms of construction workers who are also engaged in manual labor will show vertical lines due to repeated work, but this person's cocoons are horizontal, which proves that he often changes positions when digging, which is a distinctive feature of tomb robbers." .” I said softly.

The girl didn't answer any more, and stared at the corpse on the operating rack without blinking, as if she saw something surprising. "What's wrong with you?" I looked up, just in time to see the corpse.I had been observing the tomb robber lying on the ground before I had time to check the corpse on the operating rack, and I took a deep breath when I saw it. That corpse actually belonged to He Yangzhou! What's going on, how did He Yangzhou's body, which was originally placed in the freezer, be carried out?Did this dead grave robber do it?When did the tomb robbers not go to the tomb, but ran into the morgue to steal the corpse?

No, he wasn't trying to steal the body.I keenly found the scalpel thrown aside. This scalpel is not owned by the funeral home, but should have been bought from a nearby medical supply store. Strange, what on earth does this tomb robber want to do?Why did he buy a scalpel to dissect He Yangzhou's body?The strangest thing is, why did the tomb robber die under the surgical rack for no reason? I squatted down, ignoring You Yuling who had been staring at He Yangzhou's body, but observed the tomb robber more carefully again. The tomb robber's night clothes were intact, with no signs of being taken off or other wounds.The only scar was on the right wrist.The wound was hard to describe, like two iron nails pierced into the arteries of the wrist, the corpse's face was pale, and there was a phenomenon of excessive blood loss before death.

Could it be that someone used two habits to draw the blood out of his body, which left such a weird scar?wrong!I shook my head secretly. Instead of a straw, I thought of a creature.A kind of American vampire bat, that kind of bat feeds on the blood of small animals. Its two canines are hollow, which can suck out the blood of small animals bitten by itself. But the blood on the tomb robber's body was not drained, which can be judged from the corpse spots on his body.The blood that was drawn was no more than one-sixth of the whole body. Things are getting more and more confusing! What puzzled me the most was that the blood vessels next to the two blood holes in the wrist had completely turned black.The black color, as if dyed by black pigment, radiated from the blood hole to the outside, along with the blood vessels, it climbed to the arms, arms, and finally to the heart. The cause of death of the grave robber should be poisoning. "He has been poisoned by the corpse, and there is no way to save him. We'd better burn him to prevent the corpse from turning into a corpse." You Yuling tidied up the messy golden Taoist robe on his body, and said coldly. I was stunned, this little girl is wearing a Taoist robe, so she really thinks she is a Taoist nun?It is estimated that she has watched too many horror movies by Lin Zhengying, and her head has been poisoned. "Do you know He Yangzhou?" I asked. "Who is He Yangzhou?" The girl asked with a puzzled expression. "It's the corpse you looked at seriously without blinking." I replied. "This corpse is very scary, and it cannot be destroyed by ordinary methods. I originally wanted to break up his three souls and seven souls, so that he would not wake up and harm others." You Yuling said in a dignified manner. The play is very deep. That's right, a girl who can get lost so thoroughly and seriously may have problems with her head itself. "I know you don't believe me, but it doesn't matter, I never explain what I do." Seeing my disbelief, the girl snorted coldly, "This paper talisman looks quite ordinary to you, but it is one of the problems. I'll take it down first!" Hey, didn't you say you didn't explain?I listened to the girl's explanation speechlessly, and was suddenly taken aback.The paper talisman, how did he know about the paper talisman, and he said it very solemnly. The weirdness of the paper talisman is only known to me, Zhang Hui, and Lao Wang. The paper talisman on Yangzhou's forehead will definitely be clamored to touch and take a look at the first time to satisfy his curiosity. But You Yuling beside her was absent from the beginning to the end. Could it be that she is not a simple road idiot, but really knows something, such as what this spell is! "Do you know this spell?" I asked in a deep voice. "I don't know, this paper talisman belongs to my father." The girl curled her lips, "I originally wanted to take it back, as well as another item." It has long been guessed that this paper talisman may contain some supernatural power, it is indeed a strange thing, and it belongs to the family of the Lu Chi girl.This situation, I did not guess at all. "That's right, this paper talisman is very strange. After sticking it on someone's forehead, it can't be pulled off at all." I sighed, secretly guarding myself. Those who possess strange items are all forces, large and small, even the forces that Yang Junfei and Zhao Yunhan called "that world".But what exactly is "that world", no one explained to me, I can only guess by myself, but I have no clue. Could this luscious woman named You Yuling come from one of the forces in "that world"? "Our ancestral paper talisman is of course not so easy to take off, it requires a special technique." You Yuling didn't notice the change in my expression, and explained to me, "Help me guard the surroundings, don't let anyone People bother me. I'm going to cast a spell to bring it down!" After finishing speaking, I took out cigarettes, mahogany swords and other ten kinds of items from my pocket, and my eyes were straightened. Where did this road idiot hide her things?Obviously, she was slim and curvy when she was wearing night clothes, but it’s okay to wear a loose Taoist robe after taking off the night clothes. It can be explained that she is thin enough, but I can’t help but take so many things out of the Taoist robe. , This simply violates space science! You Yuling drew some inexplicable symbols with cinnabar on the corpse. These symbols made my eyelids twitch. Although I don't know the meaning of the symbols, judging from the brushwork and shape, they should belong to the mysterious characters engraved in the gate of hell.Strange, how can this girl write the characters in the ghost gate?Does she have anything to do with Zhou Yan? Now is not the time to ask questions, You Yuling looked solemn, carefully placed the incense burner between the corpse's legs, counted fifty incense sticks, and inserted them into the incense burner. Fifty one should represent He Yangzhou's age.This girl has investigated He Yangzhou?The incense in the incense burner is idiosyncratic, I can't even see what material is used. You Yuling was chanting words, and she kept circling around the corpse in Taoist robes.The unlit incense actually lit up automatically when she made the third circle. The flame on the incense rose to a height of three centimeters, and then slowly extinguished after a few seconds.There are fifty-one burning points on the incense head, and only the dark fire remains.After being burned by dark fire, a strange smell came from the entire morgue. I rubbed my nose, the taste is very complex, there is a feeling of burning amino acid and fat, not fragrant, even a little smelly.Thinking of something, my face suddenly twitched.Damn it, has this incense been soaked in corpse oil? As You Yuling turned around, the already cold morgue became even colder and biting.The girl's brows were tightly wrinkled, looking a little helpless.She kept raising the mahogany sword in her hand, and tapped He Yangzhou's corpse's forehead, abdomen, and inner thighs. I saw the possibility in my eyes, and became more and more suspicious of the girl's identity.This little girl must have something to do with Zhou Yan!In Zhou Yan's private message on Weibo, he mentioned some Fengshui master's spells, which seem to be very similar to You Yuling's routines, not to mention that girls can also write characters that can only be found in ghost gates. Just as the spell was in full swing, suddenly, the girl bit her tongue.I'm very impressed, it's really not easy for a spell caster, to actually bite his tongue and force blood out, he's really dedicated.The tongue is so sensitive, if you bite on it, if it were you, you might not have the guts to move your mouth. Just when I thought the girl's next step was to spray the blood from her tongue on the corpse, You Yuling's face was distorted, her big eyes were full of tears, and the light of tears was reflected under the sensor lights that were on and off. "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" You Yuling couldn't help jumping on the spot, clasped his ears with his hands. Damn, it turns out that this little girl didn't bite her tongue and vomit blood because of her professionalism, but she accidentally bit the tip of her tongue when she spoke too fast.Fortunately, I was moved and admired just now.I was powerless to vomit and looked at this funny guy whining for a long time before stopping. After the pain, the girl finally regained her senses.She looked around, suddenly panicked, picked up the incense burner, tore off fifty-one incense sticks in the burner, grabbed my hand and ran away, "Coat!" "Coat?" I didn't understand what she meant. "The bouquet is messy, it will turn green." You Yuling's tongue was so sore that he didn't recover his pronunciation function for the time being. But the next moment, even if I don't understand, I can understand what she means.She was saying run away, the spell was interrupted, it was dangerous. A cold feeling rushed up when we ran to the door of the morgue, only to see a figure at the gate blocking our way out. With the flickering lights, I saw the man's appearance clearly.It turned out to be Pharaoh who was still sitting and sleeping just now!No, it should be said that it was the old king.Lao Wang was obviously dead, and there were two shocking blood holes on his neck, and the blood vessels around the blood holes were all black and poisoned. The cause of death was exactly the same as the tomb robber in it, as You Yuling said, poisoned by the corpse. But this old king who was obviously dead, with red eyes in Bai Ren, was walking towards us staggeringly. "Sure enough, he was also poisoned by the corpse, and he died a long time ago." You Yuling stuck out his little tongue and flicked it in the cold air, feeling much better. My back was cold, "If Lao Wang is dead, then who was it that I saw this morning?" Old Wang's face was also covered with black blood vessels, and he had obviously been dead for more than 24 hours.how so!Obviously Lao Wang talked to me this morning. But in the current situation, I can't help myself to think about it.Lao Wang's claws almost touched my arm, You Yuling pulled me away and kicked him down. "Stupid, why are you in a daze, don't get caught by these living corpses, as soon as you get scratched, you will be infected with corpse poison." I vaguely felt like I had walked into the studio of a zombie horror film, but I was no stranger to zombies. After all, in Yang Junfei's detective agency, there was also Qi Yang, who was intelligent, non-infectious, and quite The power is second only to the modern living corpse of the guardian girl. You Yuling knew some kung fu, but Lao Wang's body was stiff and clumsy, and he couldn't get up after falling on the ground for a long time.But there was also the sound of slow footsteps from behind. It turned out to be an unknown tomb robber who died on the ground. He stood up from the stage where the corpse was placed and approached us. "Why did you mispronounce it when you mispronounced it? Why did you mispronounce it at a critical moment?" I was very helpless. I can bear with this girl suffering from severe road dementia, but she is unreliable in doing important things. Is she really here to kill demons?rather than funny? "Bite your tongue is a natural disaster, it's force majeure." The girl protested. She used the mahogany sword in her hand to hold a sword flower, and stabbed the forehead of the corpse of the unknown tomb robber with the sword, and the corpse immediately stopped moving. You Yuling's hand moved again, and quickly stabbed Lao Wang's head with the same technique, and Lao Wang's body did not continue to struggle. "Huh! Fortunately, this trick still works." The girl wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. After working on it for a long time, even she herself didn't know if it would work. I had no energy to pay attention to her at all, so I opened the door of the morgue and ran.The gloomy and cold atmosphere in the room completely pierced the bone marrow, which can no longer be simply described as the air-conditioning. There must be something growing and spreading behind me, the danger has materialized to the point of freezing the air, I didn't even have the courage to look back and run away. He and You Yuling escaped to the outside of the building. Feeling the openness and fresh air outside, he finally felt more at ease. The girl complained: "Why are you pulling me out?" I was stunned, "Didn't you let me escape?" "I let you escape, and I let you escape alone. I am going to get the culprit out." You Yuling pinched his fingers in a dignified manner and calculated, "If you leave it alone, wait another three days. It will be so ferocious that it will cause harm to the world. Even I can't control it!" I gave her a hard look, and opened my mouth when I suddenly thought of something, "What's wrong with that He Yangzhou's body?" I vaguely remember that You Yuling bit his tongue during the ceremony and interrupted the ceremony. At that moment, He Yangzhou, who was originally normal, suddenly popped out an inch-long fingernail.Those sharp nails flickered under the red emergency light, reflecting a terrifying luster. The situation was too abnormal. "There's nothing wrong with the corpse itself, it's the paper talisman he got." You Yuling was about to explain, but suddenly, she turned around and looked intently at the small door of the staff passage. Before I could react, the door had already slammed loudly.The strong iron anti-theft door seemed to have been under tremendous pressure from the inside, and it was directly deformed.It was the shape of a head! I was stunned, and You Yuling was also stunned, and kept muttering: "How is it possible, it shouldn't be. There are still three days!" While speaking, the entire anti-theft door flew out, and the broken door fell to the open space more than ten meters away, and the sound of the collision was deafening. A figure with disheveled hair came out, blurred under the hazy moonlight.The man was naked, and the shadow on the ground dragged very long. The most conspicuous thing was the ten long nails on his hands, extremely sharp nails. "He, He Yangzhou!" I was taken aback and stuttered out its name. This is exactly He Yangzhou's corpse, but that corpse has completely changed from when it was seen more than a minute ago, and the idiom "blue-faced fangs" is not enough to describe it.It has long since lost the appearance of a normal person. He Yangzhou's forehead was deeply swollen, and his face was full of swollen black blood vessels, as if crawling with writhing earthworms; two fangs protruded from his tightly closed lips, and his opened eyes seemed like Cat-like brown eyes. It was staring at us without blinking. The two of us stared at by it are like small creatures stared at by predators, and we have an irresistible impulse from the bottom of our hearts. "Impossible! There's no reason!" You Yuling still felt that He Yangzhou's body could not be revived now, "Could it be that there are other scary things on this man's body besides my family's paper talisman?" My fear spread from the soles of my feet to the ends of my hair, and I managed to squeeze out a sentence from my throat, "Beauty, find a way to solve it! This thing obviously wants to kill us both." "Don't worry, I have a trick!" You Yuling slowly reached into the Taoist robe to find something. He Yangzhou, who had obviously turned into a zombie, couldn't move his feet normally, so he jumped lightly towards her stiffly.With this jump, he jumped five or six meters away and landed beside You Yuling.The zombie's head tilted, and his hands swept across the ground in a daze. The ten nails that were dissatisfied with the cold light were about to tear the girl into pieces. "Found it!" The girl finally found something, she took out a yellowed paper talisman, and stuck it on the zombie's forehead in a dangerous situation. The zombie's nails were only 0.01 centimeters away from her neck, and it just stopped. You Yuling's cold sweat slipped from his forehead and fell on the cold concrete floor.She took a few steps back, panting: "This should make it quiet for a day and a night, we have to find a way to destroy it within a day..." Before I finished speaking, my eyelids kept twitching, and a strong ominous premonition surged from the depths of my heart. "Be careful!" I threw the girl to the ground and kept rolling away from the zombie. The moment he threw her down, the paper talisman that had just been pasted on the zombie's forehead burst into flames, and it burned completely in the blink of an eye, while the paper talisman underneath was still intact. "How could this be possible!" You Yuling was dumbfounded, and was about to continue to take out the paper talisman from her Taoist robe, but the zombie not far away didn't give her a chance, maybe because she knew she couldn't help us for the time being, the zombie jumped lightly and jumped from the ground When they reached the main building of the funeral parlor, which was seven meters high, they disappeared without a trace in an instant. In the open space in front of the main building, in the cold midnight, an unknown wind blew. You Yu and I rolled into a ball indecently, and were dumbfounded at the same time...
