Chapter 4 Chapter Two Corpse

"Have you ever played Mirror Witch? The strangest thing about this game is that no one knows who Bloody Mary is. I played it, and weird things happened!" Sitting in the car, I don't know which topic to turn to In horror stories, turn from horror stories to horror games.Although Andrew is physically strong, he seems to have absolutely no resistance to scary things. Listening to Regia and I talking about scary things, I was so scared that I curled up in the passenger seat, trying to shrink myself to a small size. Regia seems to be a fan of horror and mystery, she looked at me mysteriously, and suddenly started talking about the game of the mirror witch Bloody Mary.

This is a very famous game in Europe and the United States, no less than Mirror Fairy and Pen Fairy in Asia. Of course I know it very well, so I nodded and replied: "I haven't played it before, but I have heard a little about this game." "Since the 1970s, this game has been popular in Germany. Most people believe that Bloody Mary is a mirror witch who was hanged a hundred years ago for using sorcery." "There is also another theory that she died in a car accident and was disfigured, so when she is called, she always takes the beauty of a young girl." "I didn't expect you to know."

Regia patted me on the shoulder excitedly, completely ignoring Andrew, "This game is very weird. It was played like this at the beginning. Choose four people, and in the middle of the night, in a rectangular blank room, turn off all the lights. , and stand one person in each of the four corners of the room, and then face the corner, it is best not to look back." "At the beginning of the game, the person in one corner walked to the other corner and patted the shoulder of the person in front. Then, the person who was photographed walked to the other corner in the same way. Everyone walked in the same direction. Yes, all clockwise or all counterclockwise, and then pat a person on the shoulder."

"By analogy, but if you come to a corner where there is no one, you have to cough first, then go over the corner and continue walking until you see the next person. After a while, you will find that, When no one coughs, it means there are people everywhere." "Just a few days ago, I played this game with three other friends, and I actually played this game. It was obvious that I had played a round, but there was one person who kept walking. We woke up after walking for several rounds. Come here. This game shouldn't be able to go on, how can we continue round after round? Who is that extra person?" Regia shuddered and shook her head, "I have Haven't figured it out yet."

"Don't go on talking, it's scary!" Andrew finally couldn't help it, and he was about to burst into tears. Regia and I looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. As the name suggests, Elm Street is lined with tall elm trees, which are very green and quiet.There is no feeling that the commercial street is not far away.Blank's house was a narrow three-story building in the middle of the street.The red-brown brick and tile structure is like thousands of small town houses in Germany, and there is nothing surprising about it. The funeral was held in this very house.

According to Regia's introduction, Blanc didn't have many friends in Amber Town, and the funeral was spontaneously organized for him by his former patients and neighbors. Andrew looked at the bouquets of flowers in front of the door, and suddenly asked: "Regia, the police told me that Uncle Blanc died of homicide? Who killed him!" His uncle was murdered, This is the first time I heard it, and I couldn't help pricking my ears. Regia was silent for a moment, "It is said that it is Mrs. Roger who lives in the outskirts of Amber Town. She invited the doctor to her home under the pretext of treating her son's illness, and administered a sedative to the meal. Dr. Blank was found At that time, there was not a drop of blood left in the body, and the skin was dry, like a mummy that had been weathered for a long time."

"It seems that the doctor is not the first victim. In the cellar of that crazy Mrs. Roger, the police found more than a dozen male corpses. All of them disappeared in Amber Town in recent years. There are locals, but more It's foreigners." "Without exception, the wounds were only on the aorta of the neck, and there was not a drop of blood left in their bodies. After the forensic examination, it was claimed that those people had taken a precise proportion of sedatives, and they had no strength and would not faint. And I just watched my blood flow out along the aorta in my neck, and died after the last drop was drained."

Regia couldn't help shivering, "What a horrible, cruel and indifferent madwoman." "Do you really know the details?" I glanced at her. Regia couldn't help laughing: "Hehe, my dad is unfortunately the forensic doctor. He complained for a few days after returning home. He said that after working for so many years, there are ninety-nine corpses that have been identified. It’s the first time I’ve seen such a weird situation.” "I hope Uncle Blank's soul can be redeemed in heaven, Amen!" Andrew made a cross on his chest artificially. cut!I have the desire to give him the middle finger. This guy doesn't care about his uncle's life or death at all. Now that this bastard thinks about inheritance, the corners of his mouth are about to drool, and his mind is probably filled with euro symbols.

"Go in, everyone is waiting for Dr. Bran's relatives to come to see his appearance, and he will be buried in the afternoon." It can be seen that Regia's heart is kind and pure, but I don't know why Andrew is more afraid of ghosts when he sees her now. Is it really so miserable to be bullied when he was a child?Andrew carefully kept a distance from Regia, and the three of us walked into the room slowly.The living room on the first floor is not big, only ten square meters. Every corner of this small living room is full of people. The originally noisy room became quiet after we entered, and everyone turned their heads to look at us.

"Andrew is the doctor's nephew." Regia pointed to Andrew and then to me, "This is his friend." "Then let's go to the church as soon as possible, so as not to cause problems with the corpse." The middle-aged man said such a strange sentence. I frowned.Something wrong with the corpse?what is the problem?What else can a dead body do other than rot?Following his words, everyone in the room took action, and they all left the living room and walked outside. The thin man looked at us and introduced himself: "I am the sheriff of Amber Town, you can call me Dre. I was the one who investigated the death of Dr. Blank and I was the one who informed you to come here for the funeral .This is the phone number of Dr. Blank's lawyer, and he may notify you the day after tomorrow to deal with the inheritance."

The Delray police handed Andrew a note and said, "If it's convenient, you can be my car to go to church." "No, we rented a car. Just follow your car." I declined.For some reason, this man always gives me a weird feeling. He glanced at me and nodded, "Alright, hurry up. I'm driving a little fast." After speaking, he hurried away. Regia pulled us both, "Come on, the distance to the church is not close." Andrew was about to say something, but I immediately gave him a hand, "Get in the car." The long line of vehicles that had been parked on the street had already pulled out of the parking space, and the three of us quickly started the car and followed Officer Dray's police car to drive forward. After driving for a short time, I found that Officer Drey was humble. He was driving at a speed that was not too fast at all. I seriously doubt whether he has watched John Woo's "Mission Impossible" series and learned a lot about the car chase.A person and a car sounded the siren directly on the crowded street, running through red lights all the way at a speed of at least 120. "This bastard, does he really drive like this?" I was desperate, and followed closely behind his car as soon as I stepped on the accelerator, letting the speedometers on the traffic lights flicker to take pictures. Sitting in such a car, Andrew's face was already pale with fright, and he couldn't speak, while Regia was still smiling, without changing her expression, "The police officers are usually very calm, but some strange things happened recently. The matter made him very angry, and he drove a little wildly." "Strange thing?" I asked curiously, "What is it? Do you know?" Regia shook her head, "I don't really know." I narrowed my eyes, said "Oh", and stopped talking.Although I have only known her for a few hours, I can still feel her pure personality.This cute girl's lying expression was all written on her face, she must know what happened, but why did Regia hide it?After frantically following the police car for an hour, we drove through Ambertown towards the northern suburbs and finally stopped in front of a church. This church is built on the mountain, and the densely packed chanting in the cemetery can be clearly seen on the ridge.White is the main color of the church, and the decals on the windows are dilapidated, but the pastor here doesn't seem to have any intention of repairing it. I looked at the surrounding environment and compared it on the map.This church is not marked on the map.It should not be considered one of the tourist attractions. Dirges came from the church, low and dim, making people uncomfortable to hear.Sergeant Dray stood on the steps and beckoned us in.Andrew still walked forward carelessly, Regia didn't know what she was thinking, she lowered her head in a daze, while I looked around curiously. When I entered the church, I saw rows of chairs full of people. "Are these Dr. Blank's patients and neighbors?" I asked over my shoulder. Regia was startled by my voice, and answered after I asked again: "Yes, most of them are patients under the care of doctors." "You guys are really enthusiastic." I remained calm, but I didn't take it seriously in my heart. The dozen or so people sitting on the chairs in the front row were obviously policemen in disguise. Judging by their hands and well-trained appearance, it was not easy.The death of Andrew's uncle may not be as simple as murder. What did the police guard against at the funeral?The pastor standing under the cross on the stage was wearing a black priest's attire. He was an old man in his fifties and was already bald.When he saw us walking in, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Very well, Dr. Blank's relatives have come, invite him to the table and prepare for the ceremony." I secretly pushed Andrew, "Go up." He scratched his head, showing fear, "I'm afraid." "There is nothing to be afraid of. He is your uncle. Even if he dies, he is still your relative." I glared at him. "But I have been afraid of such ghosts and ghosts since I was a child. I am so afraid of dead bodies." His whole body has to shrink behind my back. I hated the iron and wanted to kick it, "You have lived in such a big old castle since you were a child, why haven't you been afraid of it? If you want to talk about ghosts or something, the old castle is the easiest to breed." "That's not the same as this one." He acted as if he would not go up even if he died. "What's the difference? Your fear is too selective. Go up, everyone is waiting for you. Don't tell me you expect me to accompany you when you go to see your uncle's body? Nothing!" Say. "Yes, I completely agree with you to accompany me." Andrew actually hit the snake with a stick, and didn't want any dignity. I covered my head and didn't want to pay attention to him at all. The priest waited awkwardly on the stage for a long time, and finally couldn't help it anymore, "Well, Dr. Blank's nephew, how long are you going to mourn? Your sorrow is obvious to all. Your uncle will surely find peace in the kingdom of heaven. Now, please come to the stage to see him for the last time. I believe that only in this way can the soul of Dr. Blank rest in peace!" Strange, in most funerals, the choir always has to wait for the choir to go through the scene, and the priest's prayer is the turn of the relatives Friends pay their respects to the remains, why is the funeral process so simple?Is it not enough funds?Something is wrong, no matter how you think about it, something is wrong!Andrew was still reluctant to go there, I gave up, "Okay, I'll accompany you. Damn, I'm so unlucky to know an idiot friend like you." "Great, I knew Aye, you are a brother." It was just to accompany him to see the corpses of relatives, but they actually sublimated the relationship to the level of brothers.It's too cheap to be his brother. Regia stroked her blond hair, and said pointedly: "Maybe it's safer for the two of you to go together." "What do you mean?" I turned to look at her. She waved her hand quickly, "There is no other meaning, it's just that if I go to the morgue alone, I will feel scared." I was about to ask more suspiciously, but Officer Drey was getting impatient. He looked at his watch and leaned over and said, "Hurry up, I have other things to do here." Forget it, it's not too late to ask the doubts in my heart when I come back. In short, looking at the remains is just a formality, and it doesn't take too long at all. I dragged Andrew onto the stage, the pastor nodded to us both, and pushed aside a piece of white cloth behind him, revealing a small door full of flowers immediately. He opened the door and made a gesture of invitation, "Your uncle's coffin is placed at the far end of the corridor. Please come out and sign after reading it. We are going to bury it in the grave this afternoon." "What, what's going on here? Is the Adventure King competition?" Andrew glanced at the dark and narrow passage, his face pale with fright. I'm also a little confused.For most funerals, the viewing ceremony is at the back of the church hall, and it can be done with only a piece of white cloth to separate it. Why does this church subvert the tradition and throw the coffin in what seems to be a secret passage. "Come in." Seeing that we were always dawdling, the priest, who was already somewhat obscene, simply pushed us in. It was dark before our eyes, and our bodies had already entered the tunnel.Although the inside is dark, it is not dark, the indicator light is very dim, and the smell in the passage has a rotten smell, and it seems that the ventilation is not often turned on. "I'm afraid." Andrew was so frightened that he almost cried out. His huge hands held my clothes tightly, trying to shrink his huge body behind my back. It was very awkward to see a two-meter-tall man making a delicate and frightened look, which made my skin crawl. "What's there to be afraid of, come with me, hurry up." I snorted, didn't bother to pay attention to him, and strode straight to the depths of the passage. "Wait for me, it's really scary." Andrew let out a strange cry, and hurried to catch up. This corridor stretches forward all the way. Judging from the direction, it should lead to the depths of the mountain. The age of construction is probably as old as this church. Perhaps the morgue at the end was used to place the corpses of the former priests. After all, it is adjacent to the mining area, and many people died in the accident.Most of the European churches more than a hundred years ago had the function of storing corpses for ordinary people, and this custom is still preserved in many places. The aisle is so narrow that only one and a half of me can pass through it. Andrew squeezed in very reluctantly, and he didn't go as far as he imagined. It only took two minutes, and he came to the end.At the end of the passage is a burial chamber of nearly 100 square meters, which is as dimly lit as it is. In this empty space, there is a coffin in the center, and the body of Doctor Blank is lying in it. "Go and see your uncle and we'll go." I pushed Andrew behind me. "Accompany me." He firmly grabbed my hand. This guy has been cowardly to an extraordinary degree, really troublesome.Anyway, it's already here, so it's good to go and have a look.I took him step by step towards the coffin. The lid of the coffin was lifted, and Blanc's body was submerged in the flowers, leaving only his head and hands exposed.His hands were clasped together, his face was pale and bloodless.Even if the shocking wound on the neck has been treated, the original appearance can still be vaguely seen. Other than these, there doesn't seem to be much of a surprise.Blank's face is very ordinary, belonging to the middle-aged people that can be seen everywhere.Compared with a person who died after being drained of blood, his expression before death was not very ferocious, on the contrary, from his face, there seemed to be an interesting sense of relief. "After reading it, let's go out quickly." Andrew kept his eyes tightly closed all the time, never looking at his poor uncle at all. "Give me a flower before you go." I sighed, although I don't believe that there is a heaven or hell after death, respect for the dead is still necessary. Handing him the flowers, Andrew hesitated for a moment.He slightly opened his eyelids, and was about to perfunctory, I immediately stopped and said: "Don't throw it, give me a good flower." "Cut!" He let out a depressed voice of "being seen through" from his nasal cavity.Under the supervision of my eyes, I had no choice but to shrink back and stretched my hands as far as possible, and put the white flowers on my uncle's chest. "It's over, let's go." He let out a long breath, and was about to withdraw his hand in relief, when an unexpected and terrifying thing happened. Blank's body trembled suddenly, and its withered, almost moisture-free hand grabbed Andrew's wrist tightly.The invisible thread on the corpse that was originally used for beauty was broken alive. It opened its eyelids, and there were still transparent threads on the eyelids.Blank's eyeballs were shockingly yellow, dirty and lifeless. But this pair of eyeballs stared at Andrew firmly, without blinking, as if wanting to eat his nephew into his stomach mouthful. "Come back to life! Zombies! Biohazard!" Andrew was so frightened that his head froze for a long time. He yelled, and unconsciously repeated some words that he could think of in an instant. I was also quite frightened. I watched the upper body of the doctor's corpse slowly lifted up, and the distance between my face and Andrew was getting closer and closer. I didn't react for a while. When I realized that the current situation was not a dream at all, but something real, I immediately took action.My eyes quickly scanned left and right, and finally stopped on a pine chair, quickly ran to pick up the chair, I ran to the coffin, and slammed down on the head of the moving corpse. The quality of the chair was much better than expected, so I smashed it so hard that I didn't know how many times, the scalp of the corpse was lifted off by me, revealing the yellowed skull inside. "Hand, my hand." Andrew finally reacted.He struggled desperately, but it was a pity that the withered hand grasped it very tightly, no matter how hard he struggled, it had no effect. "Don't worry, I'm thinking of a way." I pulled the Swiss Army Knife out of my pocket, pulled out the largest knife, and slashed hard at the arm, but the arm was too big for the knife for its primary function of pinching fruit.The sharp knife cut into the flesh. Although it touched the bone, not a drop of blood flowed out.It seems that the murderer Shabranke was very professional in bloodletting. The knife cut through the bone with great effort, making a teeth-stinging sound. Such behavior didn't seem to have any effect on the corpse in front of it, it propped up its body bit by bit.As the flowers in the coffin surged, the lower body in mourning clothes was about to be exposed, and it could be seen that it wanted to climb out of the coffin. "Brother, help. It hurts!" The five fingers of the dead body, which looked like branches, seemed to have infinite strength, and the fingers almost fell into the fat of Andrew's arm. Facing this zombie that couldn't be hurt and couldn't be cut, I was really at a loss. I was about to take out the pistol hidden in my coat pocket to see if it would work. At this moment, only a loud "pop" sound was heard.Originally eye to eye with Andrew, he had opened his mouth and was about to bite the head of his nephew's throat, but suddenly the whole thing exploded. The remains of the meat rushed towards me and fell on Andrew and me like rain. How is this going?I turned my stiff neck inexplicably, and followed the source of the sound.I saw Officer Drey standing at the entrance of the passage with a livid face, holding a gun with both hands, and the muzzle of the gun was slowly emitting green smoke. Seeing our stunned look, he scratched his hair with a gun and said, "You haven't come out for a long time, so I came in to take a look. Tsk tsk, how did the corpse look like this? Andrew, the sorrow of your dead relatives I know, but you don't have to be so sad that you are ready to take your uncle's body away. Tsk tsk, the head of the corpse is rotten." This bastard obviously turned a blind eye to the phenomenon that the corpse would move. He had obviously blown off the corpse's head, yet he actually threw all the responsibility on us. Andrew was about to speak when I pulled him hard. Things are not easy!Sergeant Dray must have known about the movement of the corpse, which explained why there were so many plainclothes police outside.It seems that this is not the first time this has happened.What the hell happened in this Amber Town?Why do corpses still move after death?What is this Dre trying to hide?A wise man speaks when he should speak, and never speaks when he should not speak.Since the police deliberately concealed it, then don't make unnecessary inquiries on the wave. Even if you want to find out the whole story, you must find an appropriate opportunity. I pulled Andrew, who was overly frightened, and walked out behind Dre. All the people in the church, including the pastor and Regia, turned a blind eye to the fleshy residue on both of us. They said many comforting words to Andrew, such as "sorrow and change", and then left one after another. Andrew, whose mind was already numb, followed me like a marionette, numbly signing the file handed over by the pastor.Both the pastor and Dre were visibly relieved. Officer Dray was leaving the church and was about to drive when I hurried over and tapped on the windshield of his car. "What's the matter?" His expression seemed a little unnatural, as if he had guessed the question I wanted to ask. I did as he wished, "Don't you want to explain something about what happened just now?" "Explanation?" The police officer turned his head and thought for a while, "When a person dies, he will become a corpse. It also stimulates savings, you know? Today you are lucky, you just happened to meet." I sneered, "A corpse without a drop of blood can stimulate pumping? Have you ever seen a corpse crawling out of the coffin and preparing to bite off the neck of your nephew?" "That's right. Stimulus savings, no other explanation." Sergeant Dray had a stinking face. I suddenly laughed, and took out a business card from my wallet and handed it over, "This is my profession. If you are willing to be a police officer, I think this company will be happy to promote me and become a regular." Police Officer Dre glanced at the business card, his expression changed suddenly, he was uncertain for a while, and then he moved his hands away from the steering wheel with a half-smile, "That's it, that's good, you guys come to the police station tomorrow night .I will explain to you in detail the series of incomprehensible cases that have occurred recently. It is a headache. But you must promise that you will not spread anything you hear.” "I promise." I nodded with satisfaction. Officer Dray looked at me deeply, then shook his head and drove off. "What did you hand him just now?" Andrew, who was squatting on the ground waiting for me, asked curiously. "It's nothing, it's just a business card of a famous German TV station." I lowered my head and asked, "Aren't you afraid?" "I'm scared to death. But I don't have time to worry about it now!" Andrew squatted on the ground and refused to get up, "Brother, lend me some more money. I'll get the inheritance tomorrow." I will pay you back." "Why do you want money?" I asked strangely. "Buy pants." "I thought I was only here for a day or two, and I didn't even bring a change of clothes," he said. I frowned, "After that corpse was headshot, you should only dirty your clothes, why buy pants?" Andrew's face flushed immediately, "I, I was so scared that I peed my pants just now..." Amber Town looks extremely cold during the transitional period between spring and summer, just like the slightest strangeness spreading in the cold air.Is that moving corpse a zombie often mentioned in European movies?I have no idea.Perhaps tomorrow night, Officer Dray will be able to give me an explanation that satisfies my curiosity.
