Chapter 7 Chapter Seven: Ghost Coffin and Black Corpse

Cold sweat ran down her cheeks, she swallowed her saliva, and looked to where the sound came from. There was a teenager sitting on the lawn, wearing a navy blue short windbreaker, with long hair covering half of his eyes.Even so, he is still astonishingly handsome, and his facial features are as exquisite as sculptures.He has deep eyes, holding a dagger in his hand, which looks like a handicraft of a minority, and is playing with it.The dagger seemed to have life in his hand, and sword flowers were turned out one by one, the blade was cold. Bai Xiaozhou was stunned, as if he had come to the snow hut where his grandfather was. By the campfire, the mysterious boy was smiling at him.

"Do you want to commit suicide?" the boy asked. Only then did Bai Xiaozhou come back to his senses: "No, I just..." "If you want to commit suicide, please change to another place, don't spoil my interest in reading." reading?Bai Xiaozhou looked at him, where are the books? "If you don't want to commit suicide, please change to another place, otherwise you will be dragged down by the water ghost." The young man said with a faint smile, "You should have heard that people die here every year when they graduate and start school. This pool doesn't know how to deposit How much Yin is there. Don't you think it's colder here than other places?"

After what he said, she felt that it was indeed two or three degrees colder here than other places.Although she didn't like the boy's tone, but after all he saved her, she tried to squeeze out a smile: "Thank you, may I ask who you are?" "Nobody." The water waves were slightly turbulent, Bai Xiaozhou lowered his head, and saw something swimming in the water, and it didn't look like a fish. The more he looked at her, the more frightening he felt, so he left in a hurry.When she walked away, the young man suddenly threw the dagger out and stabbed it into the pool. A cloud of black spread in the water, like a whole cup of ink suddenly gushing out.

"Another person who is easy to cause trouble." The boy sighed, "It's really troublesome." The door closed behind him with a "snap", and Bai Xiaozhou leaned against the door, covered in cold sweat. "Hi, are you okay?" Bai Xiaozhou was taken aback: "Qu Siqi, don't you make any noise when you walk?" "Why do you make noise when you walk?" Bai Xiaozhou shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, I'd better go back to my room and sleep, maybe when I wake up, I'll find that it's all hallucinations." "Wait, let me tell you some good news."

"Unless Miao Qing's case is solved, nothing is good news." "I'll take you somewhere." "I don't want to go." "To see the bodies dug up from the ground." "..." The wind blows through the bamboo forest in Jiayu Garden, and the bamboo leaves shake and rustle.Bai Xiaozhou stepped on fallen leaves, the mud was uneven, and the bluestone slabs on it were a little wobbly.She looked around and wondered if all the students in Jiayu Garden had died to be so silent. Jiayu Garden is the oldest garden in Ninghua Academy. Most of the buildings here are products of the 1940s. Because they are constantly being repaired, they are not considered dilapidated, but they have been reduced to self-study rooms, club activity rooms, and classrooms for lectures. .

"Hey, how far is it?" Bai Xiaozhou couldn't help asking.It's hard to imagine that the police would put those corpses here. Could it be that Qu Siqi was playing tricks on her? "Soon." Qu Siqi hurried through the bamboo forest, pointing to the building in front, "Look, we're here." In front of him was a small two-storey building, the walls were covered with vines, and there was a sign in front of the door: Laboratory Building of the Department of Medicine. Only then did Bai Xiaozhou remember that he had heard people say that when the Department of Medicine was established 20 years ago, this building was the first laboratory building, and later it was abandoned after a more advanced laboratory building was built. It was only used for parking A storage building for corpses used for dissection and various human specimens.

"Come with me." Qu Siqi led her into the building, which was filled with an unpleasant and strange smell.The two walked down the stairs, and there was an iron door in front of them, with a mottled blue iron sign hanging on the door: utility room. Qu Siqi took out the key and opened the iron door, Bai Xiaozhou looked inside with full expectation, but was disappointed, the inside was really just a utility room, the light was very dim, and messy things were piled up all over the floor.Bai Xiaozhou saw a switch on the wall, and was about to reach out to press it, but was suddenly pressed by Qu Siqi.

"Don't flip that switch," he said. "why?" "No reason, you just have to remember, never press that switch." "What happens if you press it?" "Don't ask, just don't press." Bai Xiaozhou turned her head to look at the switch. After he said that, she wanted to press it even more. Qu Siqi took out a remote control from his trousers pocket, pressed the button, and a wooden cabinet moved away without a sound, and behind it was a door; press it again, and the door slowly opened.Bai Xiaozhou involuntarily opened his eyes wide. It was a room of 60 to 70 square meters, filled with all kinds of strange things, voodoo dolls from American voodoo, weird masks from African primitive religions, gossip compasses, shriveled monster arms... It's like a small shop selling Halloween props.There are several houses in the surrounding area, all of which have number plates on the doors, which are dissection room, library, conference room, etc.

"This, here is..." Bai Xiaozhou was dumbfounded, and Qu Siqi opened his hands exaggeratedly: "Welcome to the 051 Research Institute." "051 Institute? What is that?" "Qu Siqi, who is she?" The door of the dissection room opened, and a man in a white coat came out with a glass mask on his head. At this time, he pushed the mask to the top of his head, and it was covered with blood. Bai Xiaozhou's jaw almost fell to the ground, how could this situation not make people think of a perverted murderer. "Let me introduce you." Qu Siqi said, "This little sister is new here. Her name is Bai Xiaozhou."

"New here?" The man frowned, "Who approved it?" "Who else is, of course the teacher." The man came over and stared at Bai Xiaozhou in surprise, the pungent bloody smell on his body made her almost faint.She forced a smile, turned her face to ask Qu Siqi: "May I ask who is this 'very individual' uncle?" "What? Uncle? You say I'm an uncle?" The man shouted excitedly, "I, Qin Zheming, are known as the Department of Forensic Medicine' Department of Grass, how dare you call me an uncle?" "Grass"?Bai Xiaozhou looked at his face carefully, he was indeed a handsome guy.

"Don't get excited about Zhe Ming." Qu Siqi flattered him with a playful smile, "Just because she calls you uncle doesn't mean you're not handsome. This girl is an 'uncle control', maybe she likes you." Qin Zheming half-closed his eyes: "Really?" Qu Siqi patted Bai Xiaozhou on the back, and Bai Xiaozhou took a breath: "Uh...Actually, you are quite handsome." Qin Zheming smiled with satisfaction: "It's pretty honest. Siqi, what's so special about this girl?" "She can see what others can't." "Oh? Let's take a look." Qin Zheming pointed to the dissecting room, Bai Xiaozhou hesitated for a moment, and hesitantly came to the door.The smell of blood became stronger, and her pupils dilated suddenly. There were several corpses displayed in this small room, except for those of Jiang Jinnan and Cao Miaoqing, the others all came from that weird coffin.Black mist overflowed from the corpse's mouth and nose, and gathered in the air, almost obscuring the lights. "What did you see?" Qin Zheming asked. "Fog, very thick black fog." Qin Zheming was somewhat surprised: "Siqi, where did you find this girl?" "Haha." Qu Siqi smiled triumphantly: "Zhe Ming, you have been dissecting for days, have you got any results?" Just as Qin Zheming was about to say something, he suddenly heard a deep voice behind him saying quietly: "I have found a new clue." Bai Xiaozhou was startled, turned around, and saw an ugly face full of pimples and wrinkles. The shock was no small matter, and he shouted without hesitation: "Damn, mummy!" Qu Siqi quickly covered her mouth: "Let me introduce, this is my junior from the Chinese Department, named Ye Buer. Buer, this is the Bai Xiaozhou I mentioned to you." Ye Buer looked gloomy, seemed a little shy, and hugged the book in his arms even tighter: "Hello." "You, hello." Bai Xiaozhou wiped off his cold sweat. The boy looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.By the way, she remembered that on the day of Ninghua Academy's report, she saw an ugly teenager scolded for touching the child's head on the bus, "I, what I meant just now... those mummies are so scary, you, you Say yes?" It really got darker and darker, Qu Siqi pulled her away: "No two, you spent so many days in the library, what did you find?" "I looked through the local chronicles and found that this kind of coffin was unearthed in City C six hundred years ago." Ye Buer opened the book that was thick enough to defend himself, "Six hundred years ago, a certain county government It was burned by fire, and a large coffin was dug out of the ground during reconstruction. There were grids inside, and several corpses were neatly placed, with pale and purple faces. The local people didn't know what the monster was, but thought the coffin was too strange and not a good omen , burned the coffin and the corpse together. Then strange things began to happen in the city. The concubine of a certain rich man suddenly went berserk, killed her husband, and bit her under-year-old son. '. The son who was bitten cried all day long, and finally cried to death. Similar things happened several times in a small city in a short period of time, and people said that it was a disaster caused by burning coffins." "and after?" "The book said that the county master invited a monk with profound morals to read scriptures for a hundred days, and then burned all the people who were bitten or scratched to death, and finally the incident was quelled." Before the words finished, Qin Zheming said, "It's exactly as I expected." The three of them turned their heads, and six pairs of eyes fell on him. Qin Zheming turned around and opened the refrigerator in the dissection room, and took out a bottle of Swedish vodka: "Would you like a glass?" "Don't whet your appetite, what did you find?" Qu Siqi was a little impatient. Qin Zheming poured himself a glass, put a few ice cubes in it, and took a sip slowly: "I already know the cause of their death." "Can you stop panting when you speak, I'm dying of anxiety." Qu Siqi wanted to punch his handsome face.Qin Zheming drank wine leisurely and said slowly, "It's the plague." Qu Siqi suddenly realized: "It's a virus. This kind of coffin buried underground for hundreds of years is likely to contain some kind of ancient virus. Just like Tutankhamun's tomb, archaeologists died one after another after the tomb door was opened. At first people thought it was a virus. The curse of the Pharaoh, and it was later discovered that some kind of primitive virus in the tomb was the culprit." "I checked all the bodies and found no virus." Qu Siqi was stunned: "Then you still call it a plague?" "Is the plague necessarily a virus?" "..." "Besides viruses, there is another thing that is contagious." Qin Zheming finished the wine, "It is human emotions." "mood?" "When everyone around you is excited, you will be excited; when you see others sad, you will also be unhappy. This is emotional contagion." "Do corpses have emotions?" "These people died of suffocation." Qin Zheming pointed to the corpses in the coffins. "They were given some kind of drug to paralyze their bodies, and they were put into the coffins alive. Although they couldn't move their bodies, they were very conscious. It can be imagined How fearful and angry they are before they die. These fears and anger cannot dissipate in a confined space, and will always exist until the day the coffin is opened. Living people affected by this emotion will have fear, anger, and hallucinations .” "Even if what you said is reasonable, why are people born at a certain time only infected?" Bai Xiaozhou asked. "Aries people are fickle, and Taurus people are patient but possessive. People of different constellations have different personalities. People's personality characteristics are deeply related to their birth time. Didn't Professor Fang say something... What did he say before he passed out?" "Those born on the Renchen day of the Gengshen month in the Guiyou year must die." "That's right, people born on the Renchen day of the Gengshen month in the Guiyou year, that is, September 8, 1993, are very sensitive to the emotions of the deceased, such as the girl who died in the cafeteria." "Then why are bitten people also infected?" "The resentment that has been buried for thousands of years is not surprising no matter what happens underground." Qin Zheming opened the refrigerator and poured himself another cup. "Really don't you want some? It's from 1993, the taste is very unique." Bai Xiaozhou saw that there were several petri dishes in the refrigerator, and suddenly lost his appetite. "Hey, Si Qi, I always think this 'emotion theory' is very mysterious." Bai Xiaozhou said in a low voice. Qu Siqi lowered his voice: "Qin Zheming's nickname is 'Into Science', and he is best at explaining the gods and ghosts with science, so he is the one who writes the reports of our institute." Bai Xiaozhou nodded, expressing his understanding. "Wait, you haven't told me what this institute is for until now." After so long, she finally remembered the key point.Qin Zheming almost spit out a sip of wine: "Qu Siqi, she was tricked by you." Qu Siqi laughed wickedly, Bai Xiaozhou couldn't help feeling chills all over his body, feeling as if he had accidentally boarded a pirate ship. "Don't worry, let me explain to you slowly." Qu Siqi pressed her on the stool and smiled obsequiously, "The 051 Research Institute is..." Before the words fell, the sharp flute sounded suddenly, hovering above the head, almost piercing the eardrums of the four people. "Fire alarm? Is there a fire?" Qu Siqi said in surprise, "I have long said that the internal structure of this building is made of wood, which poses a fire hazard. Don't run fast?" "No, the fire alarm came a little strangely." Just as Qin Zheming finished speaking, something suddenly fell from above his head, rolling to Bai Xiaozhou's feet. "No, it's a smoke bomb!" Qin Zheming rushed over, pulled Bai Xiaozhou away, ran a few steps and lay down on the ground, the thing really spewed out thick white smoke, choking Bai Xiaozhou to the point of passing out, coughing all the time .Qin Zheming covered his mouth, climbed to the cabinet, opened the cabinet door, took out two gas masks from inside, and put them on her face.The filtered air was sucked into the nostrils, and the pain in Bai Xiaozhou's lungs finally eased a little.Qin Zheming took two more masks and ran towards Qu Siqi and Ye Buer.At this moment, a few lumps fell from the top of the head, just landed on the dissecting table, scattered in all directions, wriggling non-stop. "Snake! It's a snake!" "Be careful!" Bai Xiaozhou pushed Qin Zheming away, grabbed a snake that climbed up his arm, and threw it on the ground viciously. "How come there are so many snakes?" Qu Siqi shouted in panic, "Who? Who threw the snake?" The smoke has not dissipated yet, only the rustling sound of snakes crawling can be heard, Qin Zheming shouted: "Hurry up, go away! These are poisonous snakes!" While talking, a snake came out of nowhere and pounced on his body. Facing the door, Bai Xiaozhou reacted very quickly and dodged in front of him. As soon as the poisonous snake touched her body, he immediately shrank back and quickly crawled away.The four people supported each other to escape from the dissecting room, and after closing the door firmly, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Damn, what's going on here?" Qu Siqi couldn't help but swear, "This is the basement, where did those smoke bombs and snakes come from?" "Exhaust port." Qin Zheming said with a cold face, "the dissecting room has a very advanced exhaust pipe, which is enough for one person to pass through." "Someone is going to kill us?" "Then why not just throw a bomb in, why bother?" Bai Xiaozhou felt chills all over his body: "Who did you offend?" At this time, Ye Buer was the calmest person. He took out his mobile phone: "It's better to call Brother Sima and ask for help. Let's go out first, it's too dangerous here." Five minutes later, Sima arrived. He looked gloomy and looked at the four people in front of him: "Are you all alright?" "It almost became the poisonous snake's lunch." Qu Siqi was filled with righteous indignation, "Boss, I ask for a raise!" Sima ignored him, opened the car door, and several people in biochemical suits came down.Bai Xiaozhou opened his mouth wide, feeling like he was on the set of "Resident Evil". Ten minutes later, they came out with their helmets in their arms, all of them with ugly faces: "Boss, something happened." When Bai Xiaozhou walked into the dissecting room again, his jaw almost fell to the ground.
