Chapter 7 Chapter 6 Am I a Dead Man?

"I was terrified! At that time, I was sitting like them. So, what am I? Am I also a dead person? But of course I am not a dead person. If I am dead, why do I still think? In extreme horror, I heard the sound of prying wood. I rolled my eyes and followed the sound. "I saw a tall black man holding an iron rod with a flat end, prying the lid of the coffin, and every time they pried the lid off a coffin, a man would sit up from the coffin. "After he had pried off all the coffin lids, he reached out from his waist and untied a whip, and he waved the whip in the air, making a strange 'hush' sound.

"I don't know what he meant by doing that, but I saw that the tall man waved his whip, and as soon as the word "shhhhhhh" came out, all the people in the coffin jumped with a With a very stiff movement, he stood up and straightened his body. "As soon as I saw the light, I sat up. At first, I wanted to jump out of the coffin, but because what I saw was so frightening, I still sat in the coffin until then. , I saw everyone else standing up, and suddenly, I felt blessed to think that I should act like everyone else! "So, I also stood up. At that time, I didn't have to try to imitate other people's movements, because my body also felt very numb. When I stood up, my movements were also stiff.

"After each of us stood up, the tall black man stopped swinging his whip. "At that time, I was more able to compose my mind. I found that the ship was driving on the sea, but it was very close to an island. All the people standing next to me were dead people, no doubt, they were not breathing at all. , just stood still. "At that time, the biggest question in my mind was: Am I already a dead person? "When the tall black man turned around, I raised my hand and touched my own nose. My nose was cold, but I still had breath. I stretched out my hand again and pushed I pushed the black man next to me, who was pushed down by me, and immediately leaned to the side.

"The black man fell down with a 'bang', and when he fell, he bumped into another person beside him, and in a flash, five or six people fell down in succession. "The tall black man had already turned around to go into the cabin, but when five or six people fell down, he immediately turned around, roared angrily, and swung his whip again and again. "As soon as he swung his whip, the ear-piercing 'hush' sound came out, and the fallen man staggered and stood up again. "At that time, I already felt that the numbness in my body was gradually disappearing, and I had regained full mobility. I had decided that when the black man turned around again, I was right behind him. attack him.

"But at this moment, Bober appeared. He walked out from the cabin and said: 'What's the matter?' The black man said: 'It's nothing, it may be that the ship's hull fell, and a few fell down. ’ Bobber paused, then came forward. "He faced those of us who were standing upright, didn't seem very surprised, and he came straight up to me and smiled at me! "I really wanted to put my hands around his neck and strangle him to death, but I found that he was wearing a gun, so I held back, I even held my breath on purpose, because until then, I hadn't I don't know what happened, and what is the purpose of Bobber?"

This time, Dr. Dinner was talking continuously, and I could hear it with fascination. When he said he didn't know what Bubber's purpose was, I interrupted: "It's a corpse ship. The voodoo people use the dead to work, and you're one of them." Ding Na looked at me for a long while before saying: "Yes, I didn't understand at first, but later, I also understood that although I am sure that I am not dead, they think that I am dead just like everyone else. , are all dead people who are used by them to do hard labor that no living person would do!" I hurriedly said: "The rest, are they really dead?"

Ding Na lowered his head and said: "I will explain this point slowly. When I understand my own identity and situation, I know that I must pretend to be a dead person, and I must not make any changes. At that time, I'm not really a dead person yet, but if there is a change, I will become a real dead person. "I didn't think of my identity in their eyes until Bober came to me and smiled at me so unscrupulously, so even though I wanted to strangle him to death in my heart, I still Standing straight, motionless. "Damn Bob, he not only looked at me, smiled, but also stabbed my chest with his fingers, saying: "Twenty yuan a day, haha, it's enough for you to enjoy for a while!" He held his breath and remained motionless, then turned around and walked away.

"At this time, the boat was gradually approaching the shore, and Bober also turned around, and said to the black man: "This group seems to be very obedient to the command." The black man said: "Yes, Mr. Bao, after Shi Shi After witchcraft, no one will be disobedient." "They will never have any additional requirements, they only know to obey orders and work hard." Bober said again: "They really look like dead people! ’ The Negro smiled mysteriously, but did not answer.” When I heard this, I opened my mouth to ask a question, but Dr. Diner raised his hand and stopped me. He said, "Yes, from what Bober said, I know those who were by my side People are not dead people, they just look like dead people."

I held back and didn't make any more noise, because Dr. Diner had already said what I wanted to ask first. Mr. Diner continued: "After the boat docked, the black man kept waving his whip. Those who looked like dead people obviously all acted in response to the 'hissing' sound of the whip. One after the other, going ashore, and when it was my turn, I did the same, and the black person and Bobber, after me. "The area of ​​the island is not large. Sugarcane is almost entirely planted on the island. As I walked forward, I saw a lot of people harvesting sugarcane in the sugarcane field. Those people's actions were completely like machines. There were also a few black people. While waving the whip, I also noticed that the people who were working were completely dead, and the black people who were waving the whip had a very strange tattoo on their chests. They were all Wudu believers. "

Hearing this, I couldn't help asking: "So, what role does Bobber play?" Dinner glared at me, as if he was blaming me for interrupting him, but he still answered me, he said: "It was only later that I found out that Bobber had already joined the Wudu religion, and what's more, his status in the religion Very high, he is responsible for promoting the products of the Uduja farmland, and those products, besides sugarcane, also contain a lot of drugs." I couldn't help but shuddered. This is really a shocking thing. For a celebrity like Bober, he was already an outlaw as early as when he was a student.

Although Dr. Diner's accusation is so appalling, I don't doubt that this accusation is untrue. Why should he make such an accusation against a dead person like a person who has had such a terrible experience? , the only possibility is that it is real. I waved my hand involuntarily: "So, when Bob took you away, he wanted you to do hard work?" Ding Na said: "That's not true. Tell them that the source of human resources is not a problem. Why come to me? Bober originally meant that he wanted me to be his liaison in the Wudu religion and participate in his criminal work, but because I offended the leader of the Wudu religion—” I didn't understand, Ding Na said: "In that dark mansion, I lit a fire, and the person who talked to Bob in the dark is the leader of Wudu. As the leader, he will spend his life All in darkness, no one can make light before him." I smiled wryly, and after listening to Ding Na's narration, human beings seem to be still in the wild age! But of course that didn't happen in the barbaric era. This incident is only thirty years away from now at most! I said: "Please continue to talk, what will happen next?" "In the future?" Dr. Diner said, "I will become a part of the hard labor, day and night, doing hard labor that is unbearable for human beings. We only have six hours of rest a day, which is three hours at noon and three hours at midnight." When I was young, all the people lay down, motionless. Those people were only fed a thick liquid, and I didn’t know what it was. I observed them carefully, and they were really dead! "A week later, I escaped from that small island and floated in the sea for a few days. When I got to the shore, I realized that I came to Honduras. My life was recovered. I changed my current name. At the beginning , still doing hard labor, gradually, I accumulated a little money, I dare not go back to the United States, because I know that Bober will definitely deal with me, I started to go to school again, still studying medicine, I spent nearly twenty years. "During the past twenty years, I have heard news from Bober all the time. I know that he has started his career in politics, that he is very proud, and that he has made a fortune. However, I will never forget that incident. I must take revenge. I In the next ten years, I also held important positions and had a certain status, so I concentrated my efforts on studying the spells of Wudu. "I began to discover a great secret of Wudu religion's ability to drive the dead to work!" Dr. Dinner's face became very calm, and his tone became much slower. He said, "That's really unbelievable. Modern human science can only barely explain this strange thing. The leader of Wudu religion, There is a secret recipe, which is a kind of earth medicine extracted from several kinds of native plants, which can make people in a state of near death; the heart hardly beats, and there is no metabolism, breathing is the same as stopping, but they are not dead. "People in that situation, they are only driven by a sharp voice, no matter what they are told to do, they will not resist. This is the secret of voodoo driving the dead to work." Not only my palms were sweating, but even my back was sweating. I said: "Then, you must have received the same injection back then, why didn't you become such a living dead?" Ding Na said: "Yes, I also asked myself that, I thought, The only possibility is that I received the injection while in a coma. People in a coma are somewhat different from normal. Or that kind of medicine can’t work in a coma. Fortunately, This will prevent me from being enslaved forever!" I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead, Dinner's experience was really shocking, I couldn't imagine what would happen to me if I encountered such a thing.In fact, as long as I hear that kind of narrative, I already feel breathless! Naturally, there are still many questions in my mind, such as how Dinner came back, and how those "dead people" in the ice room where he lived came here.Although I sympathize with Dr. Dingner's experience, I don't have a good impression of Dingner. Ding Na's experience was so miserable, but he inflicted that experience on others. I leaned back, and Dr. Diner continued: "It took me a lot of painstaking efforts and the power I could have used at that time to obtain the secret recipe of Wudu. At that time, Bobber had already started in the political arena Frustrated, I started my revenge plan. "I've come to this city, Bober naturally doesn't know that I'm here, I'm here, I deliberately managed a secret basement──" When Dinner was talking about this, I interrupted him: "Then, you start to hurt people!" Diner cried out, "I did no harm!" I stood up: "No harm? You injected that drug into many people!" Ding Na said: "Yes, there are four people in total." I said, "You admitted it, you killed at least four people." "No," Ding Na said: "They are all terminally ill, people who are bound to die. For them, my actions can be said to prolong their lives to a certain extent. Mr. Shi, if it wasn't for me, he would have died three years ago!" Panting, I said, "So, what has he got in the freezer for the past three years?" Ding Na said: "Of course he didn't gain anything, but he didn't lose anything, right?" I couldn't answer, so I just stared at him. Ding Na continued: "Bobber was not so easily scared to death, but when he saw Mr. Shi, he knew that Mr. Shi was not a real dead person, but was just controlled by the witchcraft. He was so shocked to death when he remembered the past, the way he died like that really did him a favor!" I was still very puzzled in my heart, and I said, "Then what about Mr. Shi?" "Three days ago, I gave him a booster injection. I calculated the time of his real death, but from the perspective of modern medical anatomy, he was already dead three days ago." I stood up slowly, and the matter has developed to this point, it can be said that the truth has been revealed! After I stood up, Ding Na also stood up, his expression became very calm, it may be because all the secrets in his heart have been confided to others. My heart is very confused. This is really unimaginable. The voodoo religion from the primeval forests of Central America has spread to this civilized city. After people have been witchcrafted, they are like dead people. Metabolism, but he is not a dead person, he can still work, work, and even accept orders to kill people! And the mystery of the mysterious "witchcraft" has also been revealed. It is just a kind of medicine. According to Dr. Dingner, it has an unknown ingredient, and it has a strong anesthetic effect on human nerves. medicine! I really don't know how to put it, I'm not really ignorant of the law, but is Dr. Diner guilty in his present state? I believe that not only do I have no way to answer this question, but even a person who is proficient in the principles of the law, I am afraid that it will still be a big headache. I stood there blankly for a while before I said in a low voice, "You must have done systematic research on this kind of witchcraft?" Dr. Dinner said: "Yes, even in Central America, the plants that can extract that kind of anesthetic are very rare. Its rarity is similar to that of ginseng in Changbai Mountain in China. I have even succeeded in artificially cultivating the small, rice-grain-like fruits produced by the brown-red vines that are like yarn. This kind of vines will live in symbiosis with a poisonous snake. Among the individuals, two of them survived, which is considered good!" I was horrified when I heard it: "For revenge, you are willing to put in so much effort?" Dinner smiled wryly: "At the beginning, I did it for revenge, but after my in-depth research and some achievements, I have discovered that that kind of medicine can be said to be a great discovery of human beings. With It can keep people in a state of hibernation for a long time, the longest one, I have preserved it for twelve years!" I sneered and said, "What's the use of that?" "Naturally it works!" Dr. Diner said: "Many terminally ill people can use this method to make them hibernate and wait for the advancement of medicine. Moreover, this drug has such an incredible inhibitory effect on the nervous system. If the research continues, the development of many mental illnesses will definitely be controlled!" I sighed: "Even so, Dr. Diner, I still want to hand you over to the police." Ding Na stayed for a moment before saying: "I know, since you found me, I can't escape. But, please don't take me there now, I will automatically surrender tomorrow, trust me, I only want you Trust me once!" I looked at Ding Na for a while, and then nodded. I left Diner's house alone, my car was destroyed by Diner, I walked forward, my mind was still in a mess, but after half an hour, I realized that Diner was a liar, at least he Lied to me! I didn't go far, when there was a violent explosion behind me, I turned around, the flames were soaring, Dinner's house was on fire! When the police and firefighters put out the fire, there was not even the house left, and a large pit appeared underground, and everything disappeared, including Dingner himself. Naturally, I didn’t tell Jack what happened, so let this case become an unsolved case. I have no evidence. Even if I tell the whole story, will the stubborn and self-righteous Colonel Jack believe me? (full text)
