This Damned Thirst for Survival

Lu Yi: "..."

After Jiang Luo finished speaking, Lu Yi shuddered uncontrollably, his scalp was numb, and he rubbed the clothes of the person in front of him.

The fabric of the clothes was rough and hard, and after smelling it carefully, there was an inexplicable musty smell, as if it had been stuffy for a long time in a rainy day, and there was a vague earthy smell.

It was indeed not Jiang Luo.

Lu Yi was sweating coldly, and wanted to let go, but he was afraid of disturbing this "person": "Ye Xun, there is really something more between me and Jiang Luo."

The extra "people" among them were motionless, still standing where they were, as if they didn't understand their conversation.

Ye Xun asked: "What is it?"

Lu Yi was about to cry, "I don't know, but it smells like a walking corpse."

How come there are walking corpses here?

Ye Xun frowned, and stuffed Zhang Fu into Jiang Luo's hand: "Paste it to Tianzhong, Tianting, and Sikong."

Jiang Luo: "Excuse me... What are these three places?"

Ye Xun, "...paste it to the center of its forehead."

Jiang Luo held the rabbit doll in his left hand, and raised his hand to stick it. He was ready to touch something scary, but unexpectedly, he didn't touch anything.

Jiang Luo was stunned for a moment, and when he moved his fingers down, he touched something sticky and cold, the texture was stiff and soft, and some kind of worms rolled under the thing he touched, like maggots.

Jiang Luo withdrew his hand in an instant, and he reacted in an instant, and said with a sullen face: "It has no head."

What he touched was the flesh on the neck of the walking corpse.

He didn't need to say what kind of worms would grow on the rotten meat.

Ye Xun grabbed Jiang Luo's arm and was about to go forward to deal with the walking corpse. Jiang Luo raised his hand to stop him, and said calmly, "Let's go and turn on the light first. Since it's following us and doing nothing, it's safe for the time being." , first take it to the studio and turn on the lights before we talk.”

Jiang Luo was right, dealing with this kind of thing in the dark was not an advantage for them.The three of them kept their original postures and walked forward. Lu Yi felt a little lucky after walking behind the corpse, "Fortunately, it was following you."

Jiang Luo was vigilant against the danger from behind. He heard the words and said casually: "How do you know it is following me? It has no head. If it is facing you backwards, it just grabs me with its backhand?"

Lu Yi's goosebumps exploded, "Damn it, don't be kidding me!"

The walking corpse pulled Jiang Luo's clothes harder and harder, and the friction of footsteps became louder and louder, similar to the sound of a corpse being dragged on the ground.A group of people walked to the studio with trepidation, and Ye Xun searched for the switch. One minute later, the dazzling light suddenly turned on.

Lu You blinked subconsciously, and the next moment he saw clearly the appearance of the walking corpse in front of him, the place where the head was indeed empty.The walking corpse was wearing a blood-stained prison uniform. His skin was bruised and purple with corpse spots. The wound on his neck was hideous, his flesh and blood turned out, and there were still traces of knife rust and some crawling maggots.

Jiang Luo had already run a few meters away, found a pack of wet wipes and wiped his hands vigorously, staring at the walking corpse expressionlessly.Because the walking corpse grabbed his clothes with great force, and when he ran away, part of his clothes were torn off, almost unable to cover his waist.

The visual effect of the walking corpse is extremely horrifying. Lu Yi was shocked and said, "There are fucking moving corpses..."

Before he finished speaking, he lowered his head and saw the feet of the walking corpse.

Toes are pointing in his direction.

Lu Yi screamed, "Damn it!!!"

The walking corpse actually walked backwards facing him all the way!

Lu Yi yelled, kicked the walking corpse, and ran towards Jiang Luo and Ye Xun in a panic.The walking corpse staggered a step, turned around to face them, and rushed over suddenly.

The three of them turned around and ran away. Ye Xun was extremely calm. He watched Jiang Luo run without forgetting to wipe his hands, and comforted him: "Experts have studied that maggots are not dirty, and maggots can pull out salt with bactericidal properties after devouring carrion. , there are antibiotics and immunity-boosting things in the body, it’s actually a good bug.”

Jiang Luo smirked and said, "Brother, if you don't do anything, you can taste the taste of maggots yourself."

Ye Xun stopped, and pulled out a black net from the mouth of the doll Jiang Luo was holding, "Lu Yi!"

Lu Yi pulled Jiang Luo and led the headless corpse to run in another direction, "Ye Xun, hurry up, this thing is so fast, I can't hold it for long!"

He was so anxious that he spit all over the place without taking a breath, Jiang Luo was about to be dragged into the air by him, Jiang Luo said loudly, "Lu Yi, you don't have any means to deal with this thing?"

Lu Yi replied louder: "Jiang Luo, are you out of your mind! Although you are the bottom one in the class, I am the bottom two!"

Jiang Luo: "..."

Lu Yi thought of Jiang Luo's praise and trust for him before, and felt a little guilty. The more guilty he was, the louder his voice was, like a cannonball, "Besides, I've only heard of walking corpses before, but I've never seen them before!"

Jiang Luo: "...don't talk about it."

He speeded up sharply and rushed ahead of Lu Yi.

Lu Yi was dumbfounded: "Grass!"

The headless corpse chased after him closely, and his speed was so fast that he was half a meter away from Lu in an instant.Lu Yi gritted his teeth, suddenly turned around and roared, "I'll fight you!"

However, the headless corpse overtook him and chased Jiang Luo with a clear goal.

Lu Yi had question marks all over his face.

Did happiness come so suddenly?

Jiang Luo also saw this scene, his temples twitched: "Why does it insist on chasing me?"

The rapid running made his breathing gradually become short of breath. The original owner neglected to exercise, so it was already unbelievable that he could lift so fast faster than Lu Yi.Jiang Luo felt his breathing became hot, and his throat was tingling. He pressed the tip of his tongue against the roof of his mouth, trying to maintain an even breathing.

Ye Xun had already used the pillar to tear the black net apart, and said loudly, "Jiang Luo, run back!"

Jiang Luo turned around and ran towards him with the walking corpse.

The walking corpse will not be tired, and the speed is getting faster and faster. The rapid running makes the rotten smell of the walking corpse permeate the entire stairway and workshop.Jiang Luo heard his snorting and heart beating more and more, his legs were already sore and limp, and he was about to reach the edge of the limit.

He looked up at the black net not far away above his head. It would take time for the black net to fall, and the distance between the walking corpse and him was less than three meters. Even if the black net fell, there was a high probability that it would not be able to cover the walking corpse.

He had to hurry up and reserve the time for the black net to land.

The smell of blood spread from his throat to his mouth, and Jiang Luo was also a little helpless about his physical fitness.He took a deep breath, used his last strength to speed up, and sprinted across the black net area.

Almost as soon as he passed through, the black net was pulled down by Ye Xun, covering the headless walking corpse head-on.

The headless corpse struggled, and the skin was immediately scorched with deep black scorched marks by the black net. The smell of roasted rotting meat was fragrant and pungent. Lu Yi retched a few times, covered his nose and handed it to Jiang Luo. Bottle of water.

Jiang Luo stood with his legs shaking against the wall for a while, then sat down on the workbench nearby.His breath was still a little intense, with black hair sticking to his neck and cheeks, he was so embarrassed that he didn't care about the unpleasant smell of the air, he gasped for breath, and after a long while, he had the strength to unscrew the bottle cap and take a sip of water: "This What is the dark web?"

"The rope soaked in the blood of the black dog," Lu Yi stuffed two pieces of paper to block his nostrils, and squatted beside the black net to study the corpse. "There should be a layer of talismans wrapped inside."

Ye Xun's black net entangled the headless body tightly, and the headless body did not move as if it was dead.Lu Yi stared at it curiously for a long time, "Ye Xun, why do you think it looks for Jiang Luozhui?"

Ye Xun shook his head: "I don't know."

Jiang Luo coughed a few times, squeezed his throat uncomfortably, and said, "It must be wearing a prison uniform."

Lu Youdao: "That's right."

"Looking at the style of this prison uniform, this corpse should have been dead for hundreds of years." Jiang Luo looked at the walking corpse and said with certainty, "Since it is an ancient person, it should have long hair on its head. Among the three of us Since I have the longest hair, it probably recognizes my head as its head."

Lu Yi and Ye Xun suddenly realized, and Lu You said, "It makes sense."

"The sound of the ball heard on the stairs earlier should be its head," Jiang Luo took another sip of water, "I just don't know why its head is separated from its body."

Ye Xun was thoughtful, and suddenly said: "Those three missing girls also have long hair."

Lu Yi clenched his fists suddenly, "Damn it! This walking corpse must have recognized their heads as his own and killed them."

Jiang Luo didn't think so.

If the headless corpse really killed the three girls, even if it took the heads of the girls, why couldn't the corpse be found?

What's more, the room scene on the day of the disappearance was clean and tidy, without a trace of blood. Could it be that the girls would take the initiative to follow the headless corpse?

But he didn't refute Lu Yi's words, he just shrugged and got off the table, "Would you like to see where the other cigarette drifted?"

Of course I want to go.

On the way, Lu Yi dragged the black net and acted roughly. He turned his head and said to Jiang Luo in disgust, "Jiang Luo, do you want to go to exercise with me after you go back to school? Your physical fitness is too poor." Can't escape for long.

Jiang Luo remembered the discomfort after running just now, and he felt terrified, "Okay, I really should exercise more."

Two-thirds of the incense in Ye Xun's hand had been burned, and the ash fell on the rice. The cigarette was still divided into two strands, one pointing at the headless corpse caught behind him, and the other leading them to a strange room. in front of the door.

Jiang Luo stepped forward and knocked on the door. He knocked twice, but no one answered, so he simply pushed the door open, and the cigarettes flew straight in, and fled under the bed.

There was no one in the room either.

The three of them surrounded the bed cautiously. Ye Xun placed Xiang on the ground beside the bed, carried the rabbit doll back to Jiang Luo's hand, and said coldly, "Get out."

There was a sudden rolling sound of a ball under the bed, and a head rolled out from the end of the bed. Black hair wrapped around the head, almost like a ball full of hair.

Ye Xun didn't move, his head rolled to Jiang Luo's feet familiarly, and one eye was exposed from the hair, "Little friend, your hair is really elegant and shiny, can you tell Xiaosheng how you take care of your hair?"

Lu Yi sneered, took a step forward and grabbed his head, and said viciously: "I think your hair is not bad either!"

The head let out a piercing scream: "Don't pull me like this, I'm going to be bald! I'm going to be bald!"

Lu Yi trembled in fright, couldn't hold on to his ferocious smile, and almost let go of his hand, "Damn it, stop screaming!"

The head whimpered and cried, "Damn ghost, don't pull people's hair."

Lu Yi was so disgusted that he shuddered, and put his head on the bed. Three people stared at the head from three sides, "Tell me, why are you in Hotel 129?"

His head bounced twice, and he threw his hair back, revealing a blue and pale face, and said, "Xiaosheng's name is Ning Xiu, and he used to be a scholar. A long time ago, Xiaosheng was beheaded for peeping at the official's daughter taking a bath." , and died on the execution ground.”

As he said that, the head sobbed twice, "Xiaosheng's death is really embarrassing. The family members are not willing to collect Xiaosheng's body. How can a person die without a whole body in the grave? Xiaosheng walked around holding his head. This place used to be a tailor. shop, Xiaosheng came here and wanted a tailor to sew my head on.”

Ye Xun: "The slaughterhouse next to it seems to have been a execution ground a long time ago."

There will be a tailor shop around the execution ground, because people in the past pay attention to leaving a whole body, and the family members of the beheaded prisoner usually transport the body to the tailor shop, and let the tailor sew the head on.If there is no corpse collected by the family, at night, the corpse will hold the head and come to a tailor to sew the head and corpse together.

The head said: "But the tailor always closes the door before dark. I couldn't find someone to sew my hair, so I just waited and waited. Until a month ago, I accidentally discovered that the proprietress here is also a tailor, so every day I came to her room to look for her in the middle of the night, and wanted her to sew my head on."

Lu Yi asked with a bad look: "If you sew your head, you sew it. Why do you want to kill someone?"

The head's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Little friend, don't slander people out of thin air. When did Xiaosheng kill someone?"

Lu Yi was taken aback for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "The three girls who disappeared in this hotel, didn't you kill them?"

The head jumped twice angrily, and said loudly: "Little baby, don't make me look bad because of my good temper!"

Jiang Luo put his arms around his chest and rubbed his chin. The torn T-shirt on the left side of his clothes revealed a piece of waist skin the size of a palm.As white as jade, with a smooth and cold feeling, he inadvertently pulled up his clothes in this posture, and his beauty value soared.Jiang Luo bent his lips and said with a smile: "Scholar, do you come to this room every night to look for the proprietress?"

The scholar stared at him blankly. He was originally a lustful person, but now his blue face was stained with two blushes, "Yes, Xiaosheng comes here every night to find the proprietress."

Jiang Luo said: "But the lady boss doesn't seem to live here."

The head was unpredictable and said: "Little friend, you don't know. The host and hostess of this shop experienced many quarrels a month ago, and the hostess' temper became more and more weird, so they lived in separate rooms. The hostess lives in this room, and I have seen her repairing her body with needles and threads, but when I came to look for her in the middle of the night, she was always not here."

Ye Xun grasped the point, "Repair your body?"

The head said affectionately: "Yes, what an excellent tailor she is, she must be able to sew my head and my body together well." But after looking at the body in the black net, the head did not Resisting a pained expression, "But as soon as I see my body, I don't want to be sewn together with it."

Jiang Luo smiled, turned to look at Ye Xun and Lu Yi, "You said, a proprietress who can go through needles and threads late at night to mend her body, and stay up late at night, where would she go?"

Ye Xun frowned and thought for a moment, then threw the heads into the black net, let Lu Yi drag them back to the corridor, and called the boss.

The electricity used by the landline is a separate circuit, whether the 129 Hotel is powered off or not, it will not affect its use.

The phone beeped for a while, and the boss's voice came from a drowsy sleep: "Hello?"

Ye Xun asked, "Where is the lady boss?"

The boss woke up in an instant, and asked cautiously: "What's the matter, classmate Ye? My wife is sleeping with my mother hugging the child."

"Isn't her room in 102?"

"Yes, she quarreled with me and moved to 102," the boss said with a wry smile, "probably because my business is getting worse and worse, and her temper has become a lot more irritable, and I don't know it all day long." Where did she go, I saw her occasionally, her makeup was getting thicker and thicker...but she couldn't let go of the child, she would come back after the child went to bed every night, and disappeared after dawn with the child, I want to have a good chat with her There is no time for a chat."

The house where the boss's family lives is opposite to their building. The more Ye Xun heard it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and said decisively: "Let's go there now."

A group of people walked over in the dark, and the incense had burned out by the time they reached the opposite building.Ye Xun sighed, put the rice bowl in the corner, and when he went upstairs, he saw the boss waiting at the door in his clothes.

The boss led them into the room, looked a little uneasy, rubbed his hands together and said, "Well, what did you mean before..."

"We need to see your wife," Ye Xun said, "she may have some problems."

The boss immediately clenched his hands, he was silent for a long time, and forced a smile, "How is that possible."

"It's impossible," the boss said to himself, crying and laughing, "don't make fun of me."

Lu Yi looked at him sympathetically, "Boss, if you want to deal with this matter as soon as possible, you must prepare for the worst possible situation."

The boss became dejected, and led them to the door of a bedroom, and gently opened the door.

A stiff shadow was standing at the end of the bed, staring straight at the sleeping grandma and child on the bed.The black mist permeated the body of this figure, just like the black mist that Jiang Luo had seen on the arms of children.

Lu Yi exclaimed in a low voice: "What a strong Yin Qi!"

As soon as the door was opened, a gust of coolness hit Jiang Luo suddenly. Jiang Luo's eyes fell on the quilt, which was folded into two quiet bulges. The old and the young were sleeping deeply, half awake.

The figure standing at the end of the bed heard the sound and turned his head stiffly to look at them.

Jiang Luo's pupils constricted.

I saw that the proprietress of the hotel was covered with dense sutures everywhere. She seemed like a mass of shredded meat, and she could only rely on needles and threads to sew herself up.

The boss behind him sat down on the ground, his legs trembling in fright, "Ahhhhh!"
