Chapter 12 Forty-sixth night pillowworm

Although it is said that it is March in Yangchun, the rainy season continues and the weather is still uncomfortable.I don't like early spring. It's understandable that it's cold in winter, but the calendar clearly shows spring, but it's really unpleasant to still be like this. It rained twice this week, one for four days and one for three days.I go to work with an umbrella all day, and I feel like a cloudy weather. It’s terrible and scary. If something goes wrong, I have the urge to throw things. Looking at the colleagues around me, it seems that there are similar situations. We are like stuffed in a can. Moldy and spoiled salmon.

Only after get off work, there is a little relief.Those who have families have gone to seek warmth at home.People like me have to go to Ji Yan's house. The splash of water behind the feet has completely wet the trousers.When I was a child, I was very envious of those people whose trousers were still clean no matter how heavy the rain was.And I am the opposite.When I put away the wet umbrella and knocked on the red thick cake-like door, it was Li Zheng who opened the door. "It's you." He opened the door and walked in by himself.I wonder if Ji Yan let him stay here forever.

Ji Yan's home is a single flat house.It was very clean inside, not at all like a single man's residence. Correct me, now it should be two men, or a child and a man. Ji Yan walked out from inside with a sleepy face.When he saw me, his narrowed eyes suddenly opened. "You came just in time. I still want to go to you. The weather makes me want to sleep." Chun Mian Bujuexiao seemed to be very suitable for him.I would also like to be like Ji Yan, who fell asleep when I was in a bad mood, but I was afraid that when I woke up, my job would be gone, so I could only give him a wry smile.

"Ouyang, your hair is all wet." Ji Yan threw me a towel, and I wiped it symbolically. Just about to throw it away, Li Zheng, who had been silent at the side, suddenly spoke. "Wipe it up, it's not good to sleep with rain." He rarely spoke, but I always felt that there were many stories about Li Zheng, even though the two lived together these days and discussed how to deal with the guy who stole Li Zheng's body , but it is estimated that they tell stories to each other more often. Ji Yan did not know where to bring out several cups of hot tea.I was feeling the chill all over my body, so I took it and warmed my cold hands first, then put the green tea to my mouth and took a sip, my whole body shivered instantly, the heat flowed from my stomach to my limbs, and finally summed up At the dantian, after drinking the whole body, the three gods were enlightened.It's really good tea, just one sip can drive away the cold and tiredness.

"What kind of story is that?" I took off my coat, sat on the sofa, and wiped my hair vigorously with a towel.Li Zhengze took a sip of tea slowly, staring blankly at the heavy rain outside the window.Accompanied by the rhythmic sound of raindrops hitting the window, although his voice was not loud, it was exceptionally clear. "The so-called rootless water, mentioned in Journey to the West, refers to the rainwater that comes down from the sky without touching anything. This kind of rainwater is originally one of the things that Taoism needs for cultivation. But in fact, rainwater is not as good as imagined. Clean or have the so-called magical power, on the contrary, sometimes it may cause bad results.

When young, men like to show their vitality, which can make people, especially women, feel that they are different and impress people. Such stupid practices include shouting at the bottom of the dormitory in the middle of the night. I have nothing. When will you come with me? When you are in the classroom, you take off your shoes and socks and put your bare feet on the desk. You are wearing a suit and tie, and you are wearing black sweatpants, and you are wearing leather shoes on your bare feet. Go to class.In fact, from a biological point of view, this is not much different from those male animals who like to show off their bodies and reproductive capabilities during the estrus period, but humans know how to use more subtle methods.

I have a classmate, he belongs to this kind of person, let's call him Aaron, because he often likes to be called Arnold Gwasinger Stallone.Aaron looks forward to rain every day, especially heavy rain and heavy rain. Sometimes he wants to go out when there is thunder, but luckily everyone stops him. As long as it rains, he is like a camel in the desert. He takes off his shirt and only wears shorts and runs on the playground, calling while running. He often says this is to show his youth and personality.But in the eyes of everyone, especially the female students, what he showed was undoubtedly his chest muscles and back biceps.

But even so, his body has always been healthy, yes, always, it's just that something outside of his body has gone wrong.I didn't pay attention at first because I always kept a distance from him.But after I saw his strange movements, I began to know that there was something wrong with him. At the beginning, Aaron always made some small movements subconsciously in the classroom, making some movements that others, including himself, didn't notice, but I, who was sitting in the back row, saw it. He often shakes his head, or pats his ear with the palm of his hand. Then, Aaron began to stutter inexplicably. This kind of thing happened before, but it seemed to be getting worse.

I started to approach him because I have a great interest in strange things.To me, he's like a guinea pig that's been injected with something unknown in a cage and reacted strangely. "Li Zheng began to say that I was a little funny. But when he said this, he looked at me inadvertently, and I was taken aback while drinking tea from this cup. For a moment, I was looked at by his strange eyes. I didn't know what to do, but when he took his eyes off me, I realized I could move. He is always Li Zheng, don't be deceived by his childish appearance.I muttered secretly in my heart.

The story is still going on. "When I started talking with him, Aaron's discomfort was already very serious. He seemed like an old man in his 70s and 80s. He forgot what he said just now. The poor memory is really puzzling. 'Have you eaten anything weird lately? 'I had to start with the source of his diet.But as soon as the words came out of my mouth, I realized that I was wrong. Asking him to recall the recipes during this period in his current state is undoubtedly tantamount to forcing him to take an exam. Watching his painful meditation, I waved and said forget it.Suddenly, I looked at his wet, weed-like hair after a rain.

Sure enough, as soon as I came in, I smelled a musty smell. 'How long has it been since you washed your hair? 'I asked him, and this time he was aggrieved and said that he washes his hair every day, because recently people have always said that his hair has a strange smell.But no matter how you wash it, your hair will always be like this. 'It's been raining all the time recently, it's annoying, it seems like it's been raining for a week. 'He suddenly raised his head and looked at the heavy rain outside.I looked at his back, and felt that there are very few people with such a simple mind like him. He has no friends like me, but the reason is different. I erected a fence outside my body, and Aaron He is the object of ridicule by others, whether it is his mind or his huge and bulky body, it is the talk of boys and girls in their spare time. I decided to go to Aaron's dormitory to have a look, maybe there is something new to discover. Fortunately, his bed was much cleaner than I imagined.Nothing is different.Only the pillows looked weird. This pillow was uniformly distributed by the school, and it was all white when I got it in my hand.But now there are all kinds of colorful pillows, and the various functions of pillows have also been exhausted. But the strange thing about Aaron's pillow is not the color.Instead it was wet. You know what I was thinking? Was it Yu Nu who did it? " "Rain girl? Is it a monster in Japanese legend?" I couldn't help but say something when I heard this.Li nodded expressionlessly. "It is said that as long as the rain girl asks the person with the umbrella to go home with him in the heavy rain, she will keep entangled with the umbrella holder in the future, and the environment around the person will become extremely humid. You will die." Ji Yan further explained. "But it wasn't Yu Nu who did it." Li Zheng said, "Indeed, I was skeptical at the beginning, but I completely overturned it when I thought that Aaron never went out without an umbrella on a rainy day. But what would that be? , maybe it's just that his nerves are wrong recently, which made him like this, or does he often fall asleep with wet hair. 'Usually my hair is wet or I just got out of the shower and I'm too lazy to wait for it to dry, so I just go to sleep.So the pillow is a little wet. Seeing me staring at the pillow in a daze, Aaron smiled and explained while rubbing the back of his head. I could only look at him helplessly. At that time, his face was very close to me, and I belonged to the kind of person with excellent eyesight, so even the beard on his face, I could see clearly. But I was not in the mood to count his beard. What I saw was a sudden twitch in his temple.Yes, a huge and thick one like a worm squirmed. It's not known whether it was a blood vessel or a nerve.Although it was only once, I did see it clearly, because along with the squirming, Aaron's face quickly reacted strangely, and his mouth smiled unconsciously, but he didn't notice it himself, I don't know you guys Have you ever seen a puppet? There is a big gap between the actions made after being controlled and the actions made by yourself. Soon, Aaron patted his ears out of habit. 'What's wrong? 'I asked him. 'Recently, I always feel my ears are stuffy, as if there is a membrane, like water has entered, but it's fine after taking a few shots. ' he replied with a smile. Is that really the case? I looked at him suspiciously again, and the abnormality just now did not happen.I took his pillow anyway.And told him to wipe his hair clean today and sleep, Aaron nodded honestly. The pillow was taken back by me.But I didn't find anything special.Somewhat annoyed, he threw the pillow aside and left it alone. I only remembered it when I was sleeping at night, so I simply put it next to my own pillow. I don't know why I did this, maybe if Wenk is here, he can definitely come up with a good method. I just subconsciously felt that there must be something wrong with the pillow. People like me dream a lot and sleep late.I am tossing and turning unpredictably when there is a little noise at night, not to mention that it is raining heavily outside the window, I am not a girl, and of course I do not have the leisurely poetic feeling of "in front of the window in the rain at night, the wind from the couch to the long sleep". But I fell asleep after all.I wake up easily though, which is probably a plus too. People are most vulnerable during sleep.No matter how powerful you are in martial arts and how many guards you have.When you are asleep, your life becomes extremely fragile.Even a young child who has no strength to restrain a chicken, just need a knife that is about a foot long, hit your weakest throat, and everything is over. Many heroes throughout the ages have died on the bed. People often think that to kill a man, especially a man who is difficult to kill, depends on a woman. It does not mean that a woman can make a man relax his vigilance.But women can make men sleep very hard. When a person who is on guard against outsiders threatening his life day and night sleeps dead, he is not far from death. No wonder Cao Cao thought so hard, he did not hesitate to play a farce in which people kill people in their dreams to warn the people around them, I kill people in my dreams! Of course, I am not Zhang Fei, I have the ability to sleep with my eyes open, but I have the ability to control corpse insects, which can make me sleep peacefully. The corpse control worm has the natural ability to protect the host, and it will stop anything that threatens my life without hesitation.Because if I die, the corpse control bug will also disappear. At the beginning, I just felt a tickle on my hand, it was a very slight feeling like a breeze, but I didn't feel comfortable.Soon, this feeling moved to my ears, and I heard a very faint but clear rustling sound. How should I put it, it's like the sound of bugs crawling on the gravel.I got up abruptly, and the corpse controller had appeared automatically, lying on the side of my pillow. But I didn't find anything special, but since the corpse control insect appeared, it proved that there was indeed danger just now.However, I saw a small white spot next to the pillow that was almost invisible to the naked eye.I didn't have this next to my pillow. Maybe it's my overthinking. I went to sleep again, but nothing like before.When I woke up the next day, I took the pillow to find Aaron. But he has gone crazy.I was also taken aback when I found out the news. Yes, the person who was still talking to me yesterday went crazy without any sign or reason.He was clamoring for this and that like a three-year-old child, and when he got the things, he sat on the bed and played foolishly, but within a few minutes he threw away the things in his hand and started crying loudly.His roommate has been tossed enough, after all, it is difficult to deal with him when he is so aggressive.But the school doctor also came, but there was no result.He didn't want to leave the room at all, so everyone had to leave him there for the time being and find someone to take him to the hospital. I know that if sent to any hospital, he will be diagnosed as insane and sent to the hospital.There is one skill most doctors can learn without a teacher, and that is misdiagnosis.What a high-sounding statement, it was just a misunderstanding, it was unintentional, so why say I did it on purpose, I completely pushed the fault away, and Luo felt relieved for a while. But when I approached him, Aaron unexpectedly calmed down. His face was actually fatter than yesterday.Rather than being fat, it is more appropriate to say swollen, like a steamed bun left to ferment overnight. This time I saw it again, the spider web-like nerves on his face were constantly wriggling.The largest of them climbed up towards the sky. I finally know what this is.Not sure, but at least I know how to deal with it.The corpse controller left my body and entered Aaron's body. 'Tie him up with a rope, it's better to be strong, and tie it up a few more times. ' I ordered his roommates, they were puzzled at first, but they went to get the rope anyway. As soon as Aaron was tied up, he started to go crazy.The ninety-kilogram body raged and struggled to free itself like a raging male bear.His eyes were bloodshot, his mouth was wide open, and saliva dripped from the corners of his mouth. Although they couldn't see it, I could see the corpse-controlling worm devouring Aaron's head. The corpse control insects are devouring the pillow worms, and the scattered corpse control insects devour the pillow insects in large quantities like a predator seeing its prey. Pillowworm A thing that can be called a parasite in medical terms.I never thought about it, because I really thought that the pillow worm was just a kind of incorporeal spirit insect, just like Yu (yu) or Dongfang Shuo, which would melt when poured with wine, and would not directly harm the human brain, including The corpse-controlling insect itself cannot affect the spirit of the living. " "What is a mythical creature?" I asked Li Zheng. Of course I know the story of Dongfang Shuo, but I have never heard of this one. "There are many explanations for the scorpion, but the most interesting one is in "Natural History". It is said that the scorpion is a class A, born in mountain streams. It is one or two inches long, has a crossbow-shaped mouth, shoots people with air, and causes sores , or die if not treated in time." Ji Yan explained to me from the side.Seeing that Ji Yan had finished speaking, Li Zheng continued to narrate. "But corpse-controlling insects have the ability to devour other types of insects. However, Aaron's head has been eroded to the point that even if all the pillow insects in it are wiped out, his sanity will not recover. Living by devouring people's memories, when the things people have learned and memorized no longer exist, then he will return to the state of being just born, just like a baby. He will live in a state of unconsciousness forever, because the damage is irreversible, and it is impossible to learn slowly. I was very curious about the origin of pillow worms. Later, I learned that this kind of thing originally had no body, but only had its own consciousness, and it was gathered together in piles for a long time.Floating in the air, they will mix with the rain or fog and come to people.If you are wet by rain for a long time and do not wipe your hair in time, a large number of pillow worms will enter the human brain, take root and sprout inside, devour the memory in the brain, and even make you transition from a spirit worm to a real body. insect. The reason why they are called pillowworms is that they always wait for people to fall asleep, then rustle down from the hair and enter the human body through the ears or nostrils and eyes.A small amount of pillow worms entering the brain cannot cause harm, because they are irresistible beyond one's own consciousness and will, but it is difficult to say if the number is too large.In the beginning, the infested person will feel discomfort in the head and can't hear well, because the pillow worms will gather together in the eardrum like a web. Quantitative change produces qualitative change.Just like ants, a single body can almost be said to be the weakest animal, but those army ant colonies can easily devour any huge animal in the world within a few seconds. This kind of bug is very fragile, as long as you keep your hair dry and sleep, you will avoid it.But Aaron found out too late.Perhaps, I should have discovered it too late. "Li Zheng suddenly looked at me. I finally know why he made me wipe my hair clean.There seemed to be a rustling sound coming from the ear.I picked up a towel and wiped my hair vigorously, it hurt so much. Ji Yan couldn't help laughing when she saw my actions. "It's not necessary, you just need to remember not to sleep with wet hair." Ji Yan corrected me. "Maybe." Li Zheng stared at the rain outside the window in a daze, and ignored us no more.
