I carefully recalled the various ghosts I had seen in ancient books, but none seemed to match the scene in front of me. I said helplessly: "Why don't we ask the ghost mother-in-law later, that evil spirit will definitely attack us next."
Now that she's here, she won't die without saving her, right?"
"Please beg that weird old woman. Oh, forget it, this is the only way to do it. My life is at stake." The fat man is still very afraid of the ghost mother-in-law. He usually doesn't have much contact with her if he can avoid provoking her, even delivering meals or asking her for help.
I was often asked to hand over luggage, but the situation forced me to give in.
After leaving the scene, we immediately told the flight attendant that there were four more murders here. After all, as the first witnesses to the death scene, our fingerprints were all around. If we pretended not to know and went back to sleep, we would be suspected.
.
As someone who has been in jail several times and is also a suspect in many "serious murder cases", I don't want to put myself in a scapegoat anymore.
When the flight attendant heard the description of me and the fat man, his face turned pale with fright, and he kept shouting, "Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!"
Because of the spate of murders, the train will stop at the next station for an extra hour. The police will come on board to intervene in the investigation and will probably collect the bodies. We cannot let the people in this car follow a bunch of corpses to Yunnan, in the south.
In warm weather, it will smell bad in about half a day.
When we came back, Taozi and the others had already woken up. Fatty and I quickly told Granny Ghost about the matter and asked her if she had any opinion.
"Do you mean that you saw that evil spirit draining a person's essence and blood on the spot, but you can't feel the evil spirit?" Granny Ghost's tone was also a little incredible, and she obviously couldn't believe it.
I quickly added: "Yes, not to mention that neither Fatty nor I noticed it. I even opened my ghost eyes and didn't see anything noteworthy."
The mother-in-law looked puzzled and said: "It's impossible. It would make sense if some special means were used to cover up the evil spirits, but all evil spirits and evil things should be invisible to the eyes of ghosts.
, Yin eyes are ghosts, and yang eyes are humans. It is impossible for both pairs of eyes to be unaware of it. Are you sure you opened the ghost eyes when the other party absorbs the essence and blood? "
"Oh, that's not true. At that time, I was attacked by him before I could open the ghost eyes. After the fat man came later, I opened the ghost eyes to check, but I didn't see anything." I told the truth.
The mother-in-law nodded and said: "This makes sense. He must have left by then. I'm afraid this is an evil spirit who is very good at hiding his traces. He has cleaned up any traces of his existence, just to prevent you from following the clues.
Come to the door, I think he will never expose his true identity before his strength reaches its peak."
"Original body? Mother-in-law, do you mean that he is not a wandering soul, but that he does have a foundation?"
"Of course not. If a lonely soul wanders in the world for a long time, it will become a demon. If you can't feel the evil spirit, it means that it is either possessing someone for a long time, or someone has cultivated to the point where the Yin spirit has left the body. You can
No matter which type of free-flying cannibal essence and blood there is, there must be a body that can live in it for a long time, so that it will not wander around the world for too long and develop a sneaky aura."
"It should be the first type. I remember he mentioned that his body was broken up by Taoist people, so he had to suck blood and essence everywhere, firstly to maintain his own existence, and secondly to reshape his body..." I haven't finished speaking yet. , I saw my mother-in-law’s expression change, and then immediately interrupted me:
"Did he say what kind of magical power he practiced? Where did he learn from it?"
I shook my head.
"So, do the people he killed have any distinguishing characteristics in common?"
I thought about it for a moment, and then said: "About these characteristics, the whole person is shriveled up, like a skin and bones, and the essence and blood all over the body have been drained... Oh, by the way, there are three things on their Tianling Cap. It’s a hole, it seems like the blood essence was sucked out from here.”
"You said there are three holes on the top of the head?" Judging from the expression on the mother-in-law's face, she seemed to have guessed, "Does the arrangement of these three holes resemble the three talents of heaven, earth and man? And if the essence and blood are not exhausted, the victim will suffer The victim will turn into a living corpse and start biting the living people next to him."
Aren't all these characteristics what I just witnessed with my own eyes? I quickly responded: "Yes, that's right, that's it. It turns out this is called a living corpse. I thought it was something like a vampire ghoul in the West. , I was also attacked by a living zombie just now, and bit my ankle, allowing him to suck away some blood essence..."
Unexpectedly, my mother-in-law seemed completely unwilling to listen to me. Instead, she hurriedly interrupted and asked, "Where is the living corpse? Have you killed him completely?"
The fat man interjected: "I just gave him a slap in the face. His whole head was turned around and his neck was bent. He must have died."
"That's it? Didn't you put a charm on its head to prevent it from transforming into a corpse?"
The fat man said with some guilt: "Well, it's true not. I saw the sallow face and thin muscles. I thought he was probably killed by my slap...could he transform into a corpse?"
"Confused, you two are so confused. Didn't Liu Yishou and Ziyang teach you basic common sense?" Granny Ghost pointed at our noses and cursed, "Anything that is resurrected after death cannot be treated as an ordinary corpse. It seems that you should quickly take the evil-suppressing charm and stick it on the forehead of that living corpse, otherwise I'm afraid it will be too late."
The fat man and I had no choice but to run out of the room with the talisman and the peach wood sword, thinking that the ghost mother-in-law was a little too rigid. The living corpse had its neck broken by the fat man, so it was unlikely that it could still move.
However, when we walked to the door of the room full of corpses, we saw that there were only two corpses in the room, and the living corpse that was finally knocked down by the fat man and fell on the bed was gone.
Our nerves suddenly became tense, and then we realized how reckless we had been. Granny Ghost was right, the living corpse had changed!
Because the essence and blood in his body are scarce, the first thing he must do is to go to the carriage to absorb the essence and blood of living people. Maybe there are already victims.
The fat man and I didn't have time to regret it. We saw blood dripping on the ground. We thought it was my flesh and blood that had been sucked out by him just now and was left on my teeth. We followed the direction of the blood drops and ran all the way to look for them.
Because these carriages were all soft sleepers and it was bedtime, the doors were locked. It was a blessing that the living corpse did not have the strength to break down the door.
