Chapter 31 Butterfly (6)

June 21 at 8:50 am A room on the second floor of the "Butterfly Cemetery". Shang Xiaodie opened her eyes in the soft light.The straw mat of the steel wire bed is still under the body, the dark ceiling is above the head, and a towering high wall stands outside the window. "Autumn water!" She cried out nervously, fearing that this was just a dream, that Zhuang Qiushui, whom Midnight met unexpectedly, was just a butterfly in Zhuang Zhou's dream. The room was empty, and there was no response from her Zhuang Qiushui.When I walked to the desk, the candle had disappeared.What a dream?Stepping out of the door in a daze, there was no sound in the dim doorway, she yelled loudly: "Hello! Is anyone there?"

After waiting for a few seconds, besides my own echo, I also heard Zhuang Qiushui's voice: "I'm here!" The sound came from the opposite side.There was a burst of excitement in her heart, it turned out that it was not a dream, he was still by her side. Quickly ran across the "overpass" and rushed into the dark and messy corridor.Suddenly, a door beside him opened, revealing Zhuang Qiushui's face. Xiaodie walked into the room, the office looked like an old-fashioned desk.There is also a huge bookshelf, but there is no book on it.There was also an elegant fireplace, full of rubbish and dust, that must have been warm that winter.

Zhuang Qiushui's eye circles were still a little red, he leaned on the desk and said: "After I saw you fell asleep, I took a candle and went out to check other rooms, hoping to find useful clues, so I spent the night here. " He pointed to the bamboo recliner by the window, which had been wiped clean by him, and people often slept on it in summer. Xiaodie frowned: "Have you seen grandma?" "grandmother?" "An old woman with a European-American face—I saw her for the first time yesterday." After that, she spent ten minutes telling Zhuang Qiushui the story of her grandmother.

Zhuang Qiushui was dumbfounded after hearing this, and all the past events were connected together: "Are you the descendant of Irina?" "It should be a great granddaughter." "Destiny?" He walked up and down rubbing his hands excitedly, "Elena's daughter is your grandmother—and your grandmother and your mother, and yourself—didn't you notice? There are some remarkable things in common between your grandparents and grandchildren!" "What do you have in common?" "You said that your grandmother was not beautiful when she was a girl, and you were completely different in the past, and I believe your mother used to be the same - and you both became beautiful because of a common opportunity, that is, you came to the 'Butterfly Cemetery' ! Yes, your mother must have been to the 'Butterfly Cemetery', otherwise, how could her ex-boyfriend, who was also a former colleague of Professor Ning, get the specimen of 'Ghost Beauty'?"

Xiaodie's lips were trembling: "You mean these are caused by genetics?" "That's right! Everything is thanks to the demon Kashev. According to the file records, he injected Irina with serum containing the 'ghost beauty' virus, which caused her to die in childbirth. This virus can be passed on to the next generation. One generation—your grandma and your mother, including yourself, all carry Irina’s viral genes—you are not ordinary people, but a hybrid of human and butterfly genes!” "Half man, half butterfly—'half butterfly man'?" "Half-butterfly?" Zhuang Qiushui narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, "This word is really appropriate! Yes, Yi Lianna's descendants are all 'half-butterfly'. Shang Xiaodie, you are also a 'half-butterfly' .”

But she leaned on Zhuang Qiushui, her voice was as soft as silk: "I like this special name." Zhuang Qiushui gently grabbed her hand, regardless of whether she was a "half butterfly" or a "half orc"!He lowered his head and thought for a moment, and many questions were cleared up: "This is Kashenfu's dean's office. He has devoted himself to the research of 'ghost beauty' for many years. He found that the scales of this butterfly's wings contained a special virus. , can melt in the air." She looked up at the wall and seemed to be able to see that evil face, then asked tremblingly, "So we've all been poisoned?"

"The 'Butterfly Cemetery' is the habitat of the 'Ghost Beauty', and the air here is also poisonous. Anyone who enters the 'Butterfly Cemetery' will be poisoned if they breathe a lot of this air! Severe poisoning will damage the human brain and produce various Strange visual hallucinations and auditory hallucinations damage the central nervous system. Although the 'ghost beauties' do not take the initiative to attack humans or other animals, as long as people dare to hurt them or hurt the people they think they want to protect, they will attack decisively -"

"Did Kashenfu die in a sudden attack by the 'ghost beauty'?" "Well, just like poisonous wasps attacking people, they can also cause terrible damage. I finally understand the cause of Meng Bingyu's death - she captured the living body of the 'Ghost Beauty', so she was attacked by the 'Ghost Beauty'. Maybe the butterfly she caught escaped, maybe other butterflies came to save their companions." Xiao Die also thought of it for a moment: "The location is at the'ghost creek'-now I can imagine that she was struggling desperately to resist, and her schoolbag fell on the grass. When she retreated to the river, a shoe fell off again. On the shore, the whole person fell into the water."

A terrifying scene appeared in front of his eyes. One year later, Meng Bingyu turned into bones, entangled by aquatic plants at the bottom of the deep river. "If it's wrong, it's seventy years ago. There shouldn't be this 'Butterfly Cemetery'!" Zhuang Qiushui's tone softened again, "It's also wrong that Meng Bingyu wanted too much 'ghost beauty'—— Fifty thousand dollars is a big temptation for anyone." "Is it the same reason for Bai Shuang's death?" She remembered the video she saw at the beginning of the story, Bai Shuang actually called herself a "ghost beauty", and then many small black things appeared in the camera, probably some special bugs.

"Maybe she destroyed the 'butterfly cemetery', or hurt the 'ghost beauty'. The butterflies took revenge on her, so she had blood and bruises on her face. As for the bugs that appeared in the car, they were already lurking in her clothes , once it is stimulated, it will run out, causing a tragic car accident!" "Where's her sister Bai Lu? I saw with my own eyes that there was a huge worm egg in her throat." "It's the eggs of the 'ghost beauty'. Perhaps Bailu inhaled the unclean air, which contains insect eggs that are invisible to the naked eye. Once these eggs enter the human body, they can grow rapidly and become larger. The day they hatch into adults, This is when the host suffocates to death."

And the birth of Xiaodie was also the nightmare of Zhuang Qiushui's mother all her life—Shang Xiaodie's mother, Zhu Die, must have entered the "Butterfly Cemetery" 23 years ago, and discovered "Ghost Beauty" with her boyfriend , Then her boyfriend died mysteriously.Two years later, Zhu Die married Shang Xiaodie's father, and the "ghost beauty" eggs were lurking in her body.With Shang Xiaodie's birth, the eggs hatched, causing Zhu Die to die of dystocia! Yes, Xiaodie grew up together with the "ghost beauty" eggs in her mother's womb.In most insects, including butterflies, the larval stage is unsightly.But after the chrysalis stage, the butterfly emerges into nature's prettiest life - just like Fluttershy is now.And entering the "Butterfly Cemetery" and inhaling a large amount of air containing the "ghost beauty" virus is the catalyst for her transformation from an ugly bug to a beautiful butterfly! From the ugly duckling to the white swan, everything is because of the "ghost beauty". This is the secret of Shang Xiaodie's body, Zhuang Qiushui caressed her face.The beautiful woman in front of me was co-hatched with the "ghost beauty". She is the sister of the butterfly, the princess of the butterfly, and the queen of the butterfly. Or, she is half a butterfly. Half Butterfly. "The last question—how did the 'ghost beauty' fly into my bedroom that morning?" She remembered the question at the beginning of this story. "Perhaps, you have a scent that attracts them. The genes of the 'half-butterfly people' are different from ordinary people. There is a certain smell that ordinary people cannot smell, but butterflies can smell it." Xiaodie smiled wryly: "So I've had a relationship with bugs since I was a child." "Isn't this near the Suzhou Creek? And the 'Ghost Creek' is a tributary of the Suzhou Creek. 'Ghost Beauty' can easily fly along the Suzhou Creek into the hidden 'Ghost Creek' and find your bedroom. " His voice was a little hoarse after he finished speaking, Xiaodie really wanted to bring him a cup of hot coffee right now.But Zhuang Qiushui still wanted to say: "You are a half-butterfly, but I am not—and I have already been poisoned." Shang Xiaodie couldn't stand his eyes, leaned on his shoulder: "No! I will protect you! I am willing to pay any price!" Suddenly, Zhuang Qiushui said: "Listen—there is movement below!" June 21 at 9:10 am Tian Qiaoer, Song You, Man Li, Lu Shuangshuang. The Suzhou Creek is in front of her, Tian Qiaoer pointed to the small door next to her and said, "Shang Xiaodie entered from here yesterday morning." The house number is "No. 1999, Jingwei Ninth Road". Lu Shuangshuang was the first to get into the fence, followed by the other three girls. "Ah, it's like a dump!" Looking at the desolate scene in front of them, they couldn't help trembling one by one.Tian Qiaoer rushed to the front and strode towards the weeds.Song You asked worriedly, "Will there be snakes in the grass?" "Don't worry, there won't be any snakes." In fact, when Shuang Shuang said this, she was completely confused. The four girls lined up in a long line and passed through the path in the wild grass one by one.Dark clouds covered the long journey, and everyone was worried, but they still had to pretend to be indomitable. Finally, they saw a long wall. "Ah, we've come to the end. Did we find the wrong place?" Manli looked around in fear, "Let's go back, I'm worried that there will be bandits in this kind of place." "Don't be afraid, there are four of us." Tian Qiaoer walked several hundred meters along the base of the wall, and suddenly found the small door, and quickly called everyone over. She was the first to walk in the door, but saw rows of tombstones head-on.When all four entered the cemetery, they were all pale with fright.Song You screamed: "Butterfly Cemetery?" "Calm down!" Lu Shuangshuang walked to the front, holding hands with Tian Qiaoer, while Song You and Man Li followed tremblingly. Trembling through the cemetery, came to the last restricted area - the entrance of Ekaterina Hospital. The backs of the four girls were covered in cold sweat.Facing the deep and unknown doorway, Manli finally couldn't stand it anymore: "No, I can't go in anymore, I want to go home!" Shuangshuang comforted her and said, "We're almost there." "If it's really a 'Butterfly Cemetery', then I won't even dare to go in!" Manli stepped back and shook her head, "Everyone who goes in will die!" Backing away, she happened to step on Kashenfu's tombstone, and fell to the ground.Song You hurriedly helped her up, but Man Li was already crying loudly. Tian Qiaoer said contemptuously: "You cry, it's better to stay alone in the cemetery, we are going in!" Mary was terrified when she heard that she was going to be left alone in the cemetery.Moreover, she didn't know the way at all by herself, so it was impossible for her to go out. So, she could only obediently follow behind Tian Qiaoer, grabbing her backpack and walking forward, for fear that she might get lost at any time. Lu Shuangshuang raised her head and looked at the door opening, and she was also questioning herself: Is it really the "Butterfly Cemetery"? After wandering for a few minutes, the four girls still walked into the doorway. A voice seemed to come from underground—— Welcome to "Butterfly Cemetery". June 21 at 9:40 am Shang Xiaodie also heard it! In the dean's office on the second floor of Yekaterin Hospital, Zhuang Qiushui listened with her, and sure enough there was a certain sound coming from outside. Is grandma here?Xiaodie walked out of the room and went back to the "overpass", Zhuang Qiushui followed behind. At this time, a scream came from below: "There is a ghost!" Xiaodie lowered her head and looked under the "overpass", and the ceiling cast a blurred light, illuminating the four figures in the doorway. "Who are they?" Zhuang Qiushui also threw himself nervously on the railing, the wooden plank under his feet made a "cracking" sound, as if it could not bear the weight of the two. The four figures below were also trembling, and finally walked a few steps slowly, thinking that the "overpass" was a ghost. Suddenly, Xiaodie called out a name: "Shuangshuang!" Lu Shuangshuang in the doorway opened her eyes wide, took a few steps closer and exclaimed, "My God, the person above is Shang Xiaodie!" Zhuang Qiushui's heart tightened, why did they come? The four girls gathered under the "overpass", looking up at Shang Xiaodie and Zhuang Qiushui on the bridge.When Shuangshuang found out that the man was Zhuang Qiushui, the fear in his heart turned into anger in an instant, and he said to himself: "It seems that this is indeed the 'Butterfly Cemetery', and you have come here to have an affair!" "Don't come here!" Zhuang Qiushui yelled at them, "This is very dangerous, leave quickly!" Tian Qiao'er looked at them and shook her head angrily: "You can't let this good place be exclusive to you, everyone has the opportunity to enter the 'Butterfly Cemetery' to make a wish." "You are wrong, you can't make a wish here at all." Zhuang Qiushui poked his head out of the "overpass" and shouted down at the top of his lungs. "Who will believe your nonsense!" Song You shouted to the top, "This is not your territory, we are in!" As she said that, she took the lead and rushed in, followed by Tian Qiaoer and Shuangshuang, while Manli hesitated on the spot. Xiaodie said loudly: "Manli, don't go in!" Manli looked up at them, and then at Tian Qiaoer in front of her, but she saw a look of contempt in her eyes. She lowered her head and said, "No, I'm not a coward." Then Mary also crossed the overpass. "No--" Xiaodie and Zhuang Qiushui turned in the same direction on the "overpass", and saw that four girls had passed through the doorway and entered the courtyard of the "Butterfly Cemetery". "We must stop them!" The two crossed the "overpass", rushed to the dark corridor of the "female dormitory" opposite, and ran down the old wooden stairs. At this moment, Xiaodie's four classmates not only found the "Butterfly Cemetery", but also came to the legendary "Wishing Wall".The huge and vicissitudes of the high wall are breathtaking, as if overwhelming them head-on. Song You touched the mottled wall, almost pressed against the crack of the wall and said, "Can you make a wish here?" Suddenly, there was a butterfly on the wall, and the beauty and the skeleton were alternating on the wings—the ghost beauty. Manli opened her eyes wide and exclaimed, "Oh my god, this butterfly is really weird." "I've seen it by 'Ghost Creek.'" Shuangshuang reached out to catch the butterfly, "Ghost Beauty" flashed past lightly, and flew towards the small iron gate next to it. They followed Die Die to the door, and Xiao Die called out from behind: "No, don't enter that door!" However, Xiaodie's warning aroused their curiosity even more, and Shuangshuang was the first to push the door in, followed by the other three girls. Finally, the final gate opened for them, and there were bright phlox flowers everywhere—and there was a grave in the middle. "Butterfly Cemetery?" Tian Qiaoer trembled and said the most important sentence. Time froze in an instant. This lonely tomb is like a small house surrounded by thousands of flowers. Is there a butterfly fairy living in it? This is the "Butterfly Cemetery": the most secret forbidden zone in the city, the home of the legendary "ghost beauty", Zhuang Zhou's most romantic and frightening dream, the destination of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai... They were all shocked, and walked to the lonely tombstone, looking at the inlaid black and white photo—— "Ah, what a beautiful foreign woman!" Manli almost reached out to touch the ceramic photo, "What's the word engraved on the bottom?" Song You looked carefully and said, "Strange, it seems to be Russian letters." "Don't touch it!" Shang Xiaodie also rushed into the door and shouted to the four classmates - this is Elena's grave, her great-grandmother's grave, no one is allowed to touch it at will. "Look, that butterfly came out again!" Lu Shuangshuang pointed to the top of the tomb, where a "ghost beauty" was dancing, as if provoking them.Shuangshuang boldly walked to the grave, reaching out to catch the butterfly. The "ghost beauty" immediately flew into the tomb - it turned out that there was a circular cave hidden on the top of the grass-covered tomb. Shuangshuang lay down at the entrance of the cave, looked down, and exclaimed, "There are many butterflies inside!" This is where the final wish is made, right?She actually reached out to catch the butterfly in the hole - the most fatal moment. "No!" Shang Xiaodie from behind rushed up to pull her, but was stopped by Tian Qiaoer and Song You desperately.At this time, Zhuang Qiushui also rushed up, no longer caring about pity and pity, and pushed Tian Qiaoer away forcefully, and pulled Shuangshuang back from the grave. While they were huddled together, a strange sound suddenly came from the tomb--like the song of a sea banshee, or the groaning of a ghost in a dream, howling through the dome, passing through the cavern on the top of the tomb. out...... Everyone quieted down, staring at the "Butterfly Cemetery" dumbfounded, listening to the voice from hell getting louder and louder—could the people in the grave be resurrected? Shang Xiaodie clenched her fists tightly, her nails pierced her skin deeply.Zhuang Qiushui took a few steps back, and they watched the exit of the tomb quietly, waiting for a woman named Irina to appear. After the longest few seconds in their lives, they didn't wait for the Russian beauty who died, but countless "ghost beauties". Butterflies—thousands of butterflies, like lava erupting from an active crater, flew out of the hole at the top of the tomb. In an instant, they made a loud noise and flapped their wings violently.The roar from hell is so deafening that it can shatter almost all glass.In the narrow space with high walls and oleanders, the sky is densely filled with "ghost beauties".Their bright and eye-catching bodies are flying up and down, covering the sky like a plague of locusts! The ghostly beauty is screaming...the ghostly beauty is raving...the ghostly beauty is taking revenge...the ghostly beauty...the ghost...beauty... ...people...... The dark clouds became denser and denser, covering the entire sky.The sky at ten o'clock in the morning was as dark as six o'clock in the evening.Perhaps, a torrential rain is about to pour down. And tens of thousands of butterflies gathered in a dense formation, almost covering the last dim light—they were all surrounded, and the entire "Butterfly Cemetery" seemed to have fallen into darkness. Xiaodie sat on the ground blankly, as if she was in a dark theater, with a huge ring-screen image unfolding in front of her eyes.Tens of thousands of butterflies gather to form a curtain, and a dark green "ghost stream" floats up from this screen, with countless oleander flowers blooming, and Meng Bingyu's schoolbag is lying alone in the grass.Countless colorful lights and shadows fluctuate like waves, singing the ballad of "the end of the world" in unison, playing the last symphony of hell. Everyone was petrified by this sight, Tian Qiaoer knelt on the ground, panicked and prayed for God's forgiveness.Shuang Shuang desperately waved her hands, ridiculously trying to protect her face.Soo-woo’s glasses are shattered, and she fumbles on the ground like a blind man.And Manli was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground, she cried and hugged Xiaodie's leg tightly and said, "WOW, please save us, only you can save us!" Suddenly, the movie enters the second act, and the "ghost beauty" shows a fierce face, and the wing of the beauty is no longer seen, and all the fortified skeletons look around. Both Song You and Shuangshuang screamed, but it was too late to regret it.A young man and five women can only gather together and wait for the final moment. Zhuang Qiushui bravely stretched out his hands to stand in front of everyone.He finally understood the secret in this tomb.This is not only the underground resting place of Elena, but also the last lair of the "ghost beauties".Since the place fell into disrepair, the butterflies inhabited Elena's grave in order to protect her dead, and had bred in secret for many years.Because of their mystery and toxicity, this place has become the scariest "butterfly cemetery" in the legend, and it is also the headquarters of all insects in the city. But there are too many "ghost beauties" in front of us. They usually live in seclusion in the tomb, occasionally fly out secretly to look for food, and live a life of indifference to the world.Now, they have broken the peace of Butterfly and spied on the "ghost beauty"'s lair, and they may hurt Irina in the grave! The butterflies were really angry, and the eruption of the volcano in the cemetery was unstoppable.Like the wasps that have been stabbed in a hornet's nest, they all set out to defend their homeland and their beloved Elena. If so many "ghost beauties" start to attack, none of them can escape, and all of them will die miserably here - maybe the "half butterfly man" Shang Xiaodie can be the exception. At this moment, Manli screamed again, and it turned out that there was a black ghost beside her.When she got closer, she turned out to be an old woman with a European and American face. "grandmother!" Shang Xiaodie rushed to the old woman's side, and the grandparent and grandson who just met yesterday hugged each other tightly. In fact, grandma had never seen such a scene, and she was also stunned by the "ghost beauties" all over the sky. She protected Xiaodie with both hands, and wanted to protect her granddaughter with her body. But Xiaodie broke free from her grandmother and ran to the front of Zhuang Qiushui. "what are you doing?" Zhuang Qiushui stretched out his hand to pull her back, but Xiaodie ran faster like a rabbit, and ran to the grave. In an instant, a large group of "ghost beauties" surrounded her. The sky is full of butterfly wings, and there are dark clouds above. The day has almost turned into midnight, and a few stars seem to light up in the distance. It is destined to be the most romantic and terrifying night. There is a song that seems to come from outside—— Open the legendary Butterfly Cemetery/The lights are extremely bright tonight/You are dressed in colorful butterfly clothes/Flying around the vast world/Open the legendary butterfly/I hope time freezes/You and I use wings to bless/Walk through the dreams and souls of past lives and present lives Spend...... Yes, she is the master here tonight. She is the "Butterfly Princess" of the city. She is the most holy queen of the "ghost beauties". She is the last hope to save people. Inside the wall made up of butterflies, she stared at her beloved Zhuang Qiushui, at her old and white-haired grandmother, at her former best friend Lu Shuangshuang, at her roommates Tian Qiaoer, Song You, Man Korea. She doesn't want to see them hurt! Whether it is the grandmother and Zhuang Qiushui who love her, or the four girls who hate her—all people are innocent, and so are all the butterflies. And at this moment, the purpose of her coming to the "Butterfly Cemetery" is to save them, to save the butterflies. Even if you destroy yourself. She looked back at the photo on the tombstone, and Elena was smiling at her coquettishly, just like Madame Butterfly on the opera stage. The singing continued, and she had made a choice. Shang Xiaodie went around to the "Butterfly Cemetery" and climbed up by grabbing the green grass on it. "No!" Zhuang Qiushui pushed aside the ferocious butterfly in front of him, and rushed over without hesitation.Lu Shuangshuang and Tian Qiaoer were also completely shocked. Fluttershy, however, is already sitting on top of the grave - at the door of Butterfly's cave. In front of the gate of hell, tens of thousands of "ghost beauties" surrounded her, as if she had been dressed in a bright "butterfly dress". Sitting on the tall "Butterfly Cemetery", she gave Zhuang Qiushui a smile, with the corners of her mouth upturned sweetly and gently. This was the most beautiful moment in her life. Then, she put her feet into the butterfly cave, and, accompanied by the beautiful butterflies, she jumped into the grave. Shang Xiaodie jumped into the "Butterfly Cemetery"...
