husband from hell

Chapter 81
"Huh..." There was a whistling sound from outside, and it was the old duck-like voice of the mortician: "It's a corpse! It's a corpse! Wake up!"

Cheng Ke got out of bed and stood up, frowning: "You don't move here."

I nodded and sat up. Even now, the corpse still has a solid yellow talisman hanging on its forehead. This is too strange. Lei Dian obviously couldn’t enter the house and was protected by a talisman. How could he cheat the corpse? !

The corpse didn't seem to have any consciousness, it just burrowed into the pane of the window, as if it was some kind of inertial movement, and it didn't matter what it thought of.

Through the pane of the window that was smashed by the corpse, I saw some corpses squirming outside from the broken window paper.

A very cold breath permeated over, making people panic from the cold and feel like a dead body.

Cheng Ke picked up all the oil lamps in the house neatly, placed them neatly under the window, stretched out his hand and sprinkled something unknown in the lamp oil, the corpse was stuck in the window pane, and was As soon as the open flame burned, it seemed to be scalded for a while, and the stiff body shrank back, but it didn't look like it was about to leave. It still worked hard towards the window pane, like a moth to the flame, and retracted after being hurt, and the cycle started again and again.

Then, there was a loud noise from outside, as if a pot had exploded. It was conceivable that it was not fun for a group of corpses to run amok, and even the ghost raiser had to be careful.

"Oh my god!" Luo Weilan's voice came from the next door: "How can you say you're cheating a corpse!"

"Big brother, I'm really sorry!" Xiaoyuan's voice sounded from outside: "We don't know, obviously, this corpse was placed in the room well!"

Then, the voice of the mortician chanting words sounded outside, this time the voice was loud and harsh, as if it was a little threatening, and the sound of the gong became louder and louder, but even so, it didn't work. Those corpses are still full of brains, wanting to break into it.

I became suspicious, stood up quickly, and asked, "Cheng Ke, look at this, is there something they want here?"

Cheng Ke turned his head, glanced at the room, and said, "There is nothing special here..."

I also passed by, looking at the densely packed corpses outside the window pane, I suddenly saw a corpse with a longevity sachet on its waist!

No, since the mortician agreed to the sisters of the Hu family and Ma Erdai's elder brother, he must go to Xichuan to exorcise the corpse. Why is there someone from Tanshen Town among the dead?

I kept my eyes open and wanted to take a closer look, but it didn't happen. At this moment, a gloomy corpse suddenly slammed into the window pane, and the row of oil lamps were all extinguished at once, and the room immediately It looks so dark!
For the original flavor of the Republic of China, this hotel is better maintained than the Palace Museum. There is not even a single wire, no light switches and other modern things. When the oil lamp is turned off, we are immediately immersed in this dense atmosphere. In the dark night that does not open!
"Crunch... crunch..." The sound of something gnawing at the pane!
Obviously, those things sensed that the lights they were afraid of were extinguished, and they were even more unscrupulous, wanting to break in!

I was full of doubts, what on earth did these corpses want to come in for?
But I’m not afraid to be afraid, anyway, Cheng Ke is by my side, in the darkness, Cheng Ke pulled me over with a cold arm to protect me behind him, and said calmly: “Don’t move.”

I agreed, and at this moment, a flash of lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the whole room, and I saw the dense corpses guarding the door, some of them had already crawled from the table under the window pane down.

Cheng Ke's eyes must be able to see things in the dark, so he raised his hands in a calm manner, and Xiaoyuan's crying voice came from outside: "Big brother, big sister, I know You are all capable people, but we also have to be responsible for the families of these corpses. Originally, they hoped that these lost relatives could return to their side.

You... If you damage the corpses, wouldn't they feel even more uncomfortable... For the sake of you and them, can you not let those corpses be damaged? I beg you! "

That's right, their mission is to protect these corpses. This request is really helpless. Cheng Ke didn't answer at all. Seeing that his hands were soft, she had no choice but to pull him: "Look, Xiaoyuan is not easy, and the family members of those corpses are also very pitiful..."

"That depends on how much they offended." Cheng Ke's voice was still deep: "It's okay if you don't touch them, but if you touch them, I will leave them dead."

"Ring, ring, ring..." In the darkness, a burst of ringing bells suddenly rang out. At this time, another flash of lightning flashed over. I was taking advantage of the flash of lightning to see those zombies, and at the same time, I saw those zombies. The body turned in one direction, as if listening to the bell.

Cheng Ke wrapped his cold hands around my waist, and said with some vigilance, "Dementor Bell."

"What is that?" I asked, "Can it control zombies?"

"That's right," Cheng Ke's eyes had a strange look amidst the flashing lightning.

Another flash of lightning flashed past, and those stiff corpses seemed to have heard some message from the soul-destroying bell, turned their heads in unison, and rushed towards us!Menacing, one after another!

Seeing the corpses of those who died in foreign lands is really pitiful, probably Cheng Ke didn't have the heart to really smash the corpses into pieces, but just raised his hand, and those corpses fell down hard.

But even so, when the corpse fell to the ground, it bounced up immediately, and rushed towards us to grab it. One corpse moved forward very quickly, and it was about to grab me!

I dodged it a long time ago, but Cheng Ke faintly showed a little anger, and stretched out his hand to remove the stiff arm of the corpse!

"Cheng Ke..."

"Just sew it on." Cheng Ke said coldly: "They have plenty of thread."

As he said that, he raised his hand to destroy those corpses that were approaching. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a thread rolled over and blocked the corpses. Those corpses suddenly retreated helplessly. One by one, they fell backward like dominoes.

"Oh, thank goodness it's still in time!" A voice sounded a little grateful: "It's okay to talk about the window pane, if you destroy all the walls, then the toad gods of the five races in our town house will be unhappy .”

I never thought it was the voice of Fat Mantou!A rickety lamp was turned on, and Fat Mantou's lifeless face was exposed under the dim light, which was indescribably strange: "The dead have nothing to do with me, if the house is destroyed, then it will be troublesome."

At the same time, a burst of ink scented my nostrils, and I looked at the light. The thing that stopped the corpse just now turned out to be a dark line, as if it had been soaked in ink.

"Ink fountain line!" The mortician hurried over, his hoarse voice showed admiration: "The boss is also a high schooler!"

"Oh, I don't dare to take it," said the fat mantou flatly: "It's just that in order to make a living, I have to prepare more things! It's always right to bring dry food and warm clothes."

"It's not just the ink fountain line that specializes in dealing with walking corpses," the mortician asked, "You're also the one who keeps ringing the soul-destroying bell?"

"Dementor bell?" Fat Mantou shook his head and said, "I didn't hear it!"

The ringing of the bell just now did not sound like it was blocking those corpses, but it seemed to be manipulating the corpses to enter the door!

Cheng Ke looked outside, pointed to the room where the corpse was stored and asked, "What is that?"

I followed Cheng Ke to probe, and I saw the door of the room where the corpse was kept opened, and there was something bright on the door frame, like a silk thread.

"It's copper wire!" Luo Weilan also appeared, frowned and said, "No wonder...you can cheat corpses!"

I suddenly realized that copper wires are originally used to conduct electricity. In such a thunderstorm weather, it seems that I want to use that kind of thing to introduce lightning and guide them to those corpses!
The corpse fraud was deliberately planned by someone!

Xiaoyuan hurried over and apologized to us: "I really don't know why this happened! This is really..."

I used the light to stare at the corpses on the ground, but I couldn't see the one with the longevity sachet, so I couldn't help asking: "Are all of you corpses from Xichuan?"

"That's right, they are all from Xichuan's native place, so I rushed here in this direction. I would have arrived at the place where the corpses were handed over tomorrow. Unfortunately, it was raining and I just wanted to avoid it. Who knows, I still didn't avoid it..." Xiaoyuan picked up the arm that Cheng Ke had removed, and said apologetically, "I surprised you!"

I stared at those corpses. Li Minglang's cousin Su Che showed me the pamphlet of the missing person. I also remembered the faces on the pamphlet. Among them, there is no brochure.

I thought about it, yes, those who can be photographed by the public security organs will of course be stored in the public security organs, how could they be kicked out in such a daze when the murderer was not found.

Could it be that I was mentally allergic just now, and misunderstood?It is impossible for anyone to put away the longevity sachet on the corpse so quickly!Besides, no one knows that I just discovered the longevity sachet.

"Hey!" Fat Mantou took the ink thread and gave it to the mortician: "I will lend it to you. I will be prepared. If I have this thing, wrap it around the door frame and block it. No matter how he cheats the corpse."

"Thank you very much!" The mortician said gratefully.

"The money for the damaged window panes will be included in the accommodation fee." Fat Mantou's voice was impersonal: "Get ready early."

The corner of the mortician's mouth twitched, and he immediately agreed.

Xiaoyuan lowered her head, took the thread and was sewing the arm damaged by Cheng Ke, raised her eyelids, looked at us timidly, wanted to say something, but hesitated.

After those corpses were cleaned up, Luo Weilan saw that we didn't look like we were going to sleep, so she came over again and asked in a low voice, "Did you see that?"

I froze for a moment: "What did you say?"

"It's just those corpses, how could they be scammed for no reason!" Luo Weilan pointed at the morgue with one hand.

"Looking at the copper wire, someone must have deliberately lured those corpses into fraudulent corpses!" I replied, "Two ghost raisers, master and apprentice, it's really unlucky to encounter such a thing."

"What he meant," the reticent Cheng Ke replied in a rare way: "The master and apprentice of raising ghosts deliberately released the corpse."

"What?" I frowned: "Why did they do this? When the corpse comes out, they are the first people to blame."

"It's dark under the lights." Luo Weiran replied.

"You actually noticed it just now," Cheng Ke said with deep peach eyes, "The whole corridor is so long, why don't those corpses go anywhere, only rushing towards us?"

As I thought just now, those corpses were indeed for me and Cheng Ke.

Or, for that unwarranted longevity?

Luo Weilan said: "Oh, you must have been frightened just now, and you didn't pay attention at all. Looking at those corpses, they seemed to have no consciousness of their own. You thought they broke in by accident, right? It was Cheng Ke's eyes. sharp."

"I dare not." Cheng Ke replied indifferently: "It's just that when they counted the corpses just now, there were no Hu Xiaoqiu and Ma Dadai inside."

I immediately understood that if some accident really happened, then Hu Xiaoqiu and Ma Dadai, who had been gathered by them long ago, should also act together with those corpses, but the absence of those two corpses meant that, It was the corpse from before, and it must have been prepared in some way, just to obey orders.

What Luo Weilan and Cheng Ke meant was to chase away the morticians and Xiaoyuan, guard and steal from themselves, and even pulled a copper wire on the dead body they sent to pretend to be the victim.

But they didn't figure it out, the Huiren Inn happened to have two corpses, and they needed to be added to the corpses!But time was running out, the corpses of Hu Xiaoqiu and Ma Dadai probably didn't have time for any training, so they stayed in the morgue and never came out.

After I figured it out, my back felt cold for a while.

Luo Weilan looked at the words and said: "I don't ask you anything, I just want to talk too much. After all, we have this fate. After the rain stops, we will continue to walk together. I will have the cheek to treat myself as your friend. Regardless of your It's better to be careful about what you bring, after all, it's this time, and everyone is staring at it..."

"At this time?" I caught this sentence and asked, "When did you say that?"

When Luo Weilan heard it, she immediately looked annoyed, as if deeply regretting that she had said too much, and immediately said: "Actually..."

"Did someone send you a letter asking you to come here to meet?" Cheng Ke looked at Luo Weilan with a pair of peach blossom eyes: "For longevity?"

When Luo Weilan heard the word "Longevity", her complexion changed several colors like a revolving lantern: "You..."

Everyone can see that Cheng Ke's words are right!

I immediately regained my spirits: "What do you mean, someone wrote to you, saying that there is news of longevity here, so you came to the Huiren Hotel together with the Ma brothers and the three sisters of the Hu family?"

"No, no, no!" Luo Weilan quickly waved her hand and said, "I didn't know until I came that they got the letter!"

As soon as these words came out, the regret on Luo Weilan's face deepened. Obviously, he planned to keep this matter a secret!
"So it's like this..." I suddenly realized: "So, when you saw us for the first time in the dining room, you thought we had also received that letter. Last time, Ah Jiu happened to come to call for help, so you realized that, in fact We are related to Changsheng!"

"I've never thought badly about you!" Luo Weilan hurriedly said, "There's a lesson to be learned from the world! It's just... until now, I've just said it. In the first place, you know, Changsheng treats all ghost-raisers What does it mean to the Shi family, the anonymous letter that came to the door, saying that on July [-]th, Changsheng will come to Huiren Inn, who doesn't feel itchy!

Our family took pictures of me because Brother Luo Bai was not there. I only found out after I came that the Ma family and the Hu family were also here.

But this incident is a bit strange. It was true that Lovers Mountain was the place for picking bones, but recently Wutong Mountain, which is higher than Lovers Mountain, has built a road. Everyone drives to Wutong Mountain to dry their bones. Lovers Mountain has very few people coming. up.

Moreover, the Ma family and the Hu family were originally closer to Wutong Mountain. It is unbelievable to come here to dry their bones and seek far away. Just like our Luo family, they received that anonymous letter!I was just like their excuse, claiming to be here to bask in the bones.

When I met you, I thought you were the same as us. You received an anonymous letter for the sake of longevity. Who knows, seeing you on the top of the lover mountain, not even pretending, it was a bit strange, so I paid more attention to you All of a sudden, it wasn't until later, when that inexplicable Ah Jiu led the Du family and opened his mouth to live forever, that I realized that you are the ones who have something to do with longevity! "

I sighed, and said, "The scene where I gave the longevity to Ah Jiu, you...you also saw it?"

Luo Weilan was a little embarrassed, but still nodded, and hurriedly said: "I believe that Changsheng is not with you. It is estimated that the person who sent the letter did not see some kindness. Thanks to your cleverness, the fire of Changsheng, It was drawn to Ah Jiu."

It turns out that although my little trick has been hidden from the Du family, it has not been hidden from Luo Weilan's eyes!
My heart skipped a beat, so I had no choice but to answer: "I was also forced to do nothing. I don't know why, but they decided that Changsheng is here with us. Needless to say this time, it seems that those corpses should also be attracted by the soul-destroying bell." Let’s come here to look for Changsheng, unfortunately, let them down again.”

Luo Weilan was a little embarrassed, and said: "But, to put it bluntly, there are no waves without wind, how did you get involved with Changsheng? Although Changsheng is mysterious and powerful, but that kind of thing is also easy to attract What an indiscriminate disaster. This time it's..."

"I said I don't know, maybe you won't believe it," I sighed, and said, "You can see that Cheng Ke and I are both people who are afraid of trouble and have no ambitions. It’s too late to throw away the hot potato, and it’s too late to make a fuss about it.”

"That's true..." Luo Weilan thought about it seriously, and said, "It's just..."

I could guess that he was still suspicious of Cheng Ke's life experience, so he replied: "If you don't know anything, you can only talk about it after you figure it out."

"Yes, yes, yes." Luo Weilan nodded quickly, and said, "That makes sense!"

Cheng Ke still looked expressionless, as if he was thinking about something.

I know that what he is suspicious of is who wrote the anonymous letter sent to several families of ghost raisers.

How could that person know foresight that Cheng Ke and I would come to this place?Ah Jiu?

No, it wouldn't be Ah Jiu. If it was Ah Jiu, why did she attract so many people to compete for longevity?One more, but one more risk of losing longevity, there is no need to make a big fuss.

Longevity, what is that mysterious longevity!If it was really by my side, I would have handed over my longevity to my grandfather, and continued to guard it according to the previous model. Why would I bring it by myself and invite disasters.

Changsheng is really a problem. It feels very bad to be regarded as a suspect.

Luo Weilan went back after a few gossips, and Cheng Ke turned to look at me: "Sure enough, it's because of longevity..."

"It's okay, it's okay." I replied: "Longevity is something that people should be greedy for. When you get back your memory, get Changsheng, and throw it elsewhere, you can live a stable life."

Cheng Ke nodded and said, "So, even for your peace and memory, you must get it back."

I'm actually not scared.

Even if there are all kinds of bad luck and dangers, I still think it's good to stay by Cheng Ke's side.

I don't know when I started to be so serious, but the feeling for Cheng Ke is like a frog boiled in warm water. I can't feel it at first, and slowly, I can't get out.

Now, it's too late.

"Tell me, what is the origin of the pair of master and apprentice who drove the corpse?" I looked at Cheng Ke: "Could it be..."

"You can use corpses to bring back souls and manipulate dead corpses," Cheng Ke looked up at the morgue: "It's unmistakable, it belongs to Biluomen."

"Biluomen..." I suddenly realized, and suddenly I felt a feeling of "long admiration".

I have heard all kinds of legends about Biluomen clearly. However, this is the first time I have really seen people from Biluomen. Their style should be very strange. This time, they only appeared for the sake of longevity... …

Could it be that they, like the Ma family, Hu family and Luo family, received the anonymous letter of "July [-]th, longevity at Huiren Hotel"?
The person who wrote the letter... who is...
