Chapter 31 Chapter Thirteen

April 9.Monday.Afternoon, 16:49. "Do you believe in ghosts?" Having been a policeman for more than ten years, no matter what kind of person and no matter what kind of ghost, Ye Xiao has already seen it before, but he was startled by this girl's words.At the same time as she said these words, her originally pale face suddenly turned blue and purple. It seemed that a cloud of black smoke enveloped her body instantly, and her eyes seemed to be covered with a thin layer of black veil.The sunlight outside the window suddenly disappeared, and the whole ward was dim. He forced himself not to lose his composure in front of the subject of interrogation, but an absurd thought crossed his mind—has this girl already died in the ground, revived for some reason, but will soon become a zombie again?

"I don't believe it!" He didn't want to give the other party a chance to despise himself, so he answered firmly. "Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway." Ding Zi's face gradually returned to normal, but Ye Xiao's vigilance increased.If you ask in a general way like before, there will be no results. This girl will definitely avoid the important things and say some irrelevant words.The main point must be grasped, so that she has no room to evade, and maybe she can find a flaw. "Okay, you just need to answer the question!" Before the girl could answer, Ye Xiao asked the question like a cannonball, "Among the underground survivors, there is a young man named Guo Xiaojun, do you know?"

"The rich second generation who wears Dior suits all day long?" "Yes—I want to know how he died, if he did." "Among us, Guo Xiaojun was the first to die." Ding Zi's tone suddenly became mature, "On the third day underground, his body was found in the staff locker room on the fourth floor. Then The scene was too bloody, he was stabbed dozens of times, his face was slashed horribly, blood was splattered everywhere, attracting flies." "Who did it?" "Everyone was frightened. I almost fainted after just one glance. That third-rate mystery novelist named Zhou Xuan made some incomprehensible reasoning, and actually said that this is a typical secret room murder case--really Damn nonsense! I'm sorry, am I being too vulgar? Unfortunately, you were not at the scene, otherwise the real culprit would have been found out immediately."

"You also look down on Zhou Xuan?" "It's okay, I just don't think this person is suitable for writing mystery novels. However, I found out who killed Guo Xiaojun later." "Who?" "Why the rush? I'll tell you soon." Ye Xiao really wanted to slap this girl!He suppressed his anger: "Okay, let's continue." "Well, although such a cruel murder happened, everyone has only fear, without any sadness or sympathy-my only regret is that Guo Xiaojun's Dior, which is worth tens of thousands of yuan, was stabbed into a sieve and stained with blood. It's a shame it's dirty!"

"Your thoughts are really shocking!" The uncle couldn't help expressing his views on this eighteen-year-old loli. "This is not my idea alone, everyone trapped underground thinks so." Ding Zi's expression was extremely serious, and he paused every word, "Guo Xiaojun, the first person to be damned. He lives in Raphael In the furniture store, enjoy the Simmons and sofas that are said to be imported from Italy, go to the fitness equipment store every day to lie on the massage chair, and drink a small sip of French red wine every night. Except for the professor who is the commander-in-chief, all the men in the underground are doing their own thing work, or checking circuit switches, or carrying important materials, or taking care of seriously injured people, but this rich second generation lies all day long without doing any work, and of course he does not need his mental work. But the owner of this building , but still working hard all day long, except for the Armani suit, you can’t tell that he is a big boss at all.”

"Understood." "It's not that he hates the rich, it's that this kid really deserves a beating. Except for the professor, he looks down on everyone in the underground. Whenever I find him looking at me with contempt, I give him a blank stare, or simply two words: idiot! Guo Xiaojun The most stupid thing is that I don’t want to collect food by myself. Sometimes I go to the supermarket to get a few breads, and sometimes Zhou Xuan will bring him some food—that’s why I say that Zhou Xuan’s brain is also sick! It turned out that within two days, others lived well , Guo Xiaojun began to starve. When he went to the supermarket to look for food again, he found that the edible food had already been taken away, and the rest were either eaten by cats, dogs and mice, or spoiled and smelly and gave birth to cockroaches. Go to someone else and ask for dozens of credit cards - he says these cards can be used to swipe tens of millions of dollars, but in the underground of the end of the world, cash is worthless, and the banknotes piled up at the cash registers of various stores are no longer used I was worried that I would lose a penny. He had already made everyone unhappy, and no one gave him food, not even a box of instant noodles. At first he persisted all night, but the next morning he put down his airs as a young master, knelt down in front of us, and snotted his nose With tears in his eyes and begging for some leftovers, the Japanese woman gave him a few packs of biscuits to satisfy his hunger."

This description lifted Ye Xiao's spirits, and it was very interesting to listen to it with folded arms. "Okay, let's talk about the others—your school reported to the police that besides you, there is another student who may have disappeared underground. Her name is Haimei, and she is your classmate." "Yes, Haimei is my best friend. On Sunday night, we were shopping in the Future Dream Mall, and just as we were about to go home, something happened. We survived a near-death experience, and finally got back our lives. Haimei is a doomsman, and also belonged to Professor Wu. Loyal fan. She saw that the end of the world had really arrived, and instead of fear, she was very excited. She found a closed room on the second basement floor of the supermarket as a doomsday survival room, and hoarded a lot of things.”

"What about you? I feel like you're at home underground." This sharp comment made Ding Zi a little embarrassed: "I—think about it, how painful it is for a girl to have no running water and not be able to shower and wash her hair for a few days! Wash her face with a little mineral water every day, and brush her teeth with only foam—although The toothpaste collected in the supermarket is enough for me to brush for several lifetimes. However, all the products can be taken at will. I swept all the shops of women's clothing, bags and shoes upstairs and downstairs. In the women's clothing store on the third floor where I live , in addition to food and bottled water, piled up with ZARA, VERO MODA, Ochirly... Sorry, I think you, a big man, don't know these brands."

"There is no concept at all." "It's like a dream! I am crazy about collecting all the things that girls like, hundreds of new seasons of various brands, one hundred pairs of StellaLuna shoes, fifty GUCCI bags, and a whole woven bag of CHANEL perfume. As for those The first-line luxury goods that can easily cost tens of thousands of yuan should be left to Guo Xiaojun.” "Stop! Let's go back to Haimei." Ye Xiao ended her happy memories.It is conceivable that in the end of the world, in the huge unmanaged shopping mall, you can take anything without money... "Haimei..." Her lips trembled a few times, "She is dead."

"How did you die?" "Wednesday, April 4th. I remember it very clearly. It was the Ching Ming Festival. I went to find Haimei early in the morning. When I came to her doomsday survival room on the second basement floor, I found her lying in a pool of blood at the door." She mumbled She closed her eyes and trembled all over, "It's terrible! There was a hole in her temple, and there was a broken vase on the ground, which must be the murder weapon. My best friend, I was so scared that I collapsed on the ground until the sound of crying Startled Zhou Xuan." "Zhou Xuan said it was a secret room murder?"

"He is an idiot if he really wants to say that! However, I found some clues. In a place tens of meters away from the murder scene, there is a window mannequin, which is a dummy wearing clothes in a clothing store. The dummy The man is male, wearing only a pair of trousers, with his upper body bare, bald, and looks very handsome. I looked at his trousers and found that it is a window model of the Dior suit shop upstairs!" "The model upstairs? Why did it go to the supermarket on the second basement floor?" "That's right, it's impossible for someone to eat and have nothing to do, and move the dummy down. I stared at the eyes of the dummy - although the eyes are also fake, but there is a strange feeling - it seems that he is also watching Look at me! This terrified me! Can you imagine such a scene? I was full of doubts, but I didn’t dare to say it. I could only bury Haimei to the fourth basement with everyone. As a result, that night, I went back to the underground of the supermarket alone On the second floor, I found that the dummy is gone!" "You suspect..." Ye Xiao gasped, he wondered if the girl had watched too many underground horror movies. "That's right. In the early morning of that day, I took an iron rod for self-defense and a sharp dagger - both to guard against wild dogs and evil spirits, and lurked at the entrance of the Dior men's clothing store. At three o'clock, I saw a figure Walking into the Dior store, I stood motionless at the window. I approached boldly, turned on the flashlight and aimed at the man’s face, only to find that it was really a window model! The man was half naked near the scene where Haimei was killed. An upper body dummy! When the flashlight was aimed at his face, he opened his eyes all of a sudden!" Hearing this, Ye Xiao felt that the girl in front of him instantly turned into a female window model, wearing a lady's attire, staring blankly! "I was so frightened that I screamed and fled upstairs. Heavy footsteps sounded behind me. When I looked back, it was the dummy! It was like a big and vigorous person, rushing towards me quickly. I Shouting for help, I ran up a flight of stairs, and it almost grabbed my ankle. At this moment, a man appeared in front of me. It turned out to be Yang Bing, the security guard of the shopping mall. He rushed over when he heard the sound. He was also the first The first time I saw the window model was alive, I was so frightened that I wanted to run away. The dummy grabbed him and pushed him off the railing of the atrium. I heard Yang Bing's screams and the sound of crashing on the ground floor. A few more flashes of lightning shot at me, and several men came with their own guys. The dummy flashed through the small door next to it. When we ran to the ground floor, we found that Yang Bing had been thrown to death, and upstairs in the Dior men's clothing store, The window mannequin is still missing." "Why do you think the dummy moves? Kills people?" "So, I asked you from the beginning, do you believe in ghosts?" Ye Xiao admitted that she was defeated by her: "Do you think it was the ghosts who died underground who possessed themselves and made these window models move and kill people?" "This is the only explanation!" "What about the motive?" "Guo Xiaojun's death can be explained! The upper body of the Dior window model is naked, and the Dior that Guo Xiaojun is wearing is probably taken from it! Therefore, the dummy is full of hatred for Guo Xiaojun, and it has nothing to do with us. Similarly, seeing the rich second generation was not pleasing to the eye, so I took a sharp knife from the supermarket and killed Guo Xiaojun in the locker room." "Well, your imagination is very rich, what about Haimi?" "I don't know, maybe Haimei enjoys the doomsday survival too much, and angered this dummy wandering in the dark, so she smashed her to death with a vase." "What's next? Have you caught the dummy yet?" Ding Zi's face turned pale: "The next thing you can't imagine. The next day, everyone was heavily guarded, and I didn't dare to sleep anymore. I curled up in a corner with a flashlight and an iron rod. I waited until three o'clock in the morning. , I saw a dark figure move in the Victoria's Secret store." "Victoria's Secret?" "Oh, you don't understand." The third-year girl blushed, "That black figure is smaller than yesterday's dummy, and it's obviously a woman from the back. In order to find the evil spirits underground, we turned on some lights all night. When she turned around, I saw that it was another window model! This time it was a young woman, wearing a Victoria’s Secret bikini, walking towards the opposite store in a sexy and amazing way—it was a LAMPO men’s clothing store, only wearing underwear. A female dummy like that, broke the glass of the LAMPO shop, came up to the male window mannequin, and tiptoed to kiss his lips." "Wow, this is too romantic!" The end of the world - even the dummy must be together, let alone the real person, Ye Xiao suddenly thought of something. "However, when I saw this scene at the time, I just thought it was too horrible! Sure enough, the LAMPO male dummy who was kissed by the bikini female dummy seemed to be given life, and really walked out of the shop window. The two dummy held hands, Walking into the depths of the darkness—perhaps to make little dummy." "Student Ding Zi, are you sure that your mental state is fine?" "Every word I say is true. If there is even a little bit of falsehood, it will be struck by lightning! That night, when I had the courage to open my eyes again, I found that there were more than a dozen figures in the corridor of the shopping mall. There were men, women, tall and Short. I thought everyone had come out. The small ones were probably Zhengtai. However, their walking posture was not normal. It turned out that they were window models from various clothing stores! The youngest one came from the children’s clothing store upstairs, wearing a brightly colored suit The coat looks like a seven or eight-year-old foreign boy. Some dummies hold sharp knives in their hands! At this time, I heard a woman’s scream from upstairs, and the sound was getting closer and closer until the floor I was on was The petite hair-washing girl Ah Xiang. She ran forward covered in blood, and three window models behind her were chasing her, two women and one man, all holding murderous weapons, until the male dummy stabbed Ah Xiang in the back Just like that, three dummies stabbed her to death." Ding Zi couldn't help shedding tears when she said this. "You mean to say that in the middle of the night, all the window models in the Future Dream Mall came alive?" "yes." "These dummies started a killing spree against real people?" "Yes, a lot of people died at their hands, some I saw with my own eyes, some I heard about it. I can't tell who else is there. Anyway, at the end of the world, this place has really become a hell." Ye Xiao raised his characteristic thick eyebrows: "The last question, when you were rescued, you had a work permit in your pocket, which belonged to the female cleaner of Future Dream Building, what happened?" "Oh, I almost forgot about the cleaner. It was almost the sixth day, many people had been killed by dummies, and the last seven or eight people were panicked. I didn't dare to live in a fixed place for a few days, and changed every night. A place to hide, like a restaurant, photo shop, nail salon, toy store—where there are no dummies. When I hid in a bedding store, there was a woman lying on the floor covered in blood, the maid At that time, there were no dummies around, and I boldly went up to rescue her. She grabbed my hand and said that a female dummy had attacked her. Then, she stuffed my work card into my hand, please if I can escape Go out and give that to her relatives." "Didn't everyone think that the end of the world is coming and it's impossible to escape?" "Yeah, I also find it strange. Maybe she lost a lot of blood, and she didn't know her mind before she died. She died soon, and I kept her work ID in my pocket. If you didn't remind me, I would have died soon." forgotten." Ye Xiao was silent for half a minute: "Then, what happened to those dummies?" "I don't know, anyway, I survived to the end. Thank God, and thank you too." "Now I believe in ghosts."
