Mantra

Chapter 4
The hand hanging on Wang Hou's shoulder can no longer be called a hand.

The degree of blood and flesh in that hand is really shocking, it seems to be melted by some corrosive liquid.The skin on each finger is glued together, and the muscles and blood vessels have turned into pus, as if wearing a pair of gluey blood-colored gloves.
I opened my mouth wide, not knowing what to say.

Soon, Wang Hou also felt something strange in his shoulder.He squinted at the hand on his shoulder.

After seeing everything clearly, he spread out on the ground. This 1.8-meter tall man had completely succumbed to his own fear.

In fact, it's not Wang Hou's fault, because the "thing" behind him is indeed a bit too scary!

Wang Hou's three friends were standing in the dim light of the toilet, dripping with an unknown liquid.

The sudden appearance of these three ghosts caught me and Wang Hou by surprise.

In desperation, I dared to shout: "You three...what are you trying to do!"

At this time, a man in the middle walked towards Wang Hou and said quietly: "I am not reconciled! Why are only the three of us dying? Wang Hou, your life is so good! You have noble people to help, your life it is good."

The owner of that hand quietly raised his head while talking, revealing his true face. It was a face without human skin.

Wang Hou and I both fainted from fright
When I woke up again from the fear, it was already broad daylight, and the sun was shining on my body, feeling a little hot.

Later, I was shocked to find that I was neither in the kitchen nor in the bathroom, but on the bed in the dormitory of the hotel.

My mind was in a mess, but I quickly remembered and sorted out what happened last night, especially the memory of Wang Hou's frightened face.

However, I was completely vague about the appearance of Wang Hou's three friends, especially what happened in the toilet, and even as time went by, I was quickly forgetting many details.

I don't know how I got back to the dormitory from the toilet, and I don't know whether Wang Hou escaped the "coffin head feast".

All this, in the stillness of the morning, seemed like a dream!

"A dream?!" I suddenly said to myself.

At this time, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly felt that what happened last night might really be just a dream.

How much I wish he was a dream, I wish it was just an absurd nightmare I had because I missed my comrades and troops so much.

In order to prove their own ideas.I got up quickly, risking the disgrace of the world!Ran to the dormitory of the hotel waitress.

Amidst the screams of the waitress, I found Xiaohong, and he and I were the only ones in the restaurant who had gone through everything.

When I woke up Xiaohong from her sleep, I got an unexpected answer.

Ye Xiaohong, who was sleepy, told me that she had been on duty in the lobby after closing the store at eleven o'clock last night.During this period, I never saw anyone in a black suit, let alone me, and never left the lobby.

In short, she saw nothing.

"It's really just a dream?" I said happily, and at the same time, under the strange eyes of others, I quickly ran to the back kitchen, and from the back kitchen to the toilet.

I was delighted to find that there was no trace of my cooking in the back kitchen. What happened last night seemed like a dream!

For the first time in days, my face, which I had never smiled before, was brightened.

Afterwards, I hummed a little song and went back to the dormitory to get my luggage. After packing everything up, I left the hotel and went straight to the bus station.

After I return to the village, I plan to rest for a while, contact my old comrades in arms, and then make a long-term plan.

However, just before I walked out of the hotel entrance ten steps away, a man suddenly blocked my way.

In the sunlight, I looked up at the burly figure of that man, and I was stunned for a moment!

This person is my comrade-in-arms, Wang Hou!
"Tian Buer! Brother!" Wang Hou yelled and hugged me, weeping bitterly like a child, and I was sick from crying.

I thought to myself, just cry if he cries!What a runny nose!
Wang Hou lay on top of me and cried for a long time, then under the strange eyes of passers-by, he pulled me to treat him, saying that I saved his life last night and insisted on letting me have a drink with him.

In this way, I had no choice but to temporarily put aside my plan to go back to my hometown, and I found a random restaurant on the street with the nervous Wang Hou, and the two sat down.

As soon as I sat down, Wang Hou was still wiping his nose. I couldn't stand it any longer, so I pointed at him and complained: "You're not too old. Does anyone look like a soldier! Why do you cry when you see me? You want to curse me to death!"

However, in fact, I know that Wang Hou is a tough guy, if he didn't encounter something particularly scary or grateful, he wouldn't cry like this.

And, I wonder, how the hell did he find me?Why does it seem that he knows the address where I work.Could it be.
Just when I was feeling uneasy in my heart, Wang Hou told me about his bizarre incident last night.

It turned out that after Wang Hou retired from the army, he partnered with his fellow villagers to open a vegetable transportation team.

But the three partners who started the company with him thought that the profit of transporting vegetables was too low, and it was not as fast as transporting chemical raw materials to make money.

But Wang Hou didn't agree with his companion's opinion, because he thought that since everyone was new to the industry, they should transport vegetables with lower risks.Moreover, chemical products require special qualification certificates, and Wang Hou can't do it, and he doesn't want to smuggle money against his conscience.

In this way, the business philosophy of the three people diverged.

However, what Wang Hou didn't expect was that.Seven days ago, when Wang Hou's father had a heart attack, three of his friends sneaked out to do "private work" without telling Wang Hou.They were going to transport two truckloads of chemical raw materials to Tianjin Port. When Wang Hou knew all this, they had already set off.

What happened after that was just as I had guessed in my dream.

Wang Hou's friend's transport vehicle had an accident on the highway. His three friends never came back after leaving. The chemicals burned beyond recognition, even the fingers were glued together, and a layer of the skin was scalded off.

In short, the death was very miserable.

In the past seven days, because Wang Hou is the legal person of the unit, he has been extremely busy. He sold the car team, paid the traffic police fine, and just managed to finish the funeral affairs of his friends.

Last night, because he was in a bad mood, he drank a little more wine at home and fell asleep drowsily. Then he had a nightmare similar to mine that night.

In the dream, Wang Hou saw that his three partners did not die.They all wore black suits, said that the goods had arrived, and asked Wang Hou to go out for dinner.

Then they came to the restaurant where I was.

But just when Wang Hou got up to go to the bathroom because he drank too much during the banquet, I suddenly appeared, and I dragged him and said, "Hurry up, you can't eat the coffin banquet, those three friends will kill you" Class words.

As I was speaking, three of his friends also broke into the toilet.

Afterwards, Wang Hou saw in amazement that his friend was rotting away bit by bit.At the same time, he was also saying something like "Wang Hou's life is good, there are noble people to help", in short, the scene was so gloomy that Wang Hou screamed!

In the end, in shock, Wang Hou was awakened by the nightmare, and the first thing he did when he woke up was to run to the restaurant he had seen in his dream to find me, to see if I was working in this restaurant.

Thus, we met at the entrance of the hotel.

After listening to Wang Hou's words, I was at a loss for words, and I didn't know what to say.
What I never expected was that the first time I met my old comrades after retiring from the army was actually in a dream!What's more, it was in a nightmare of "death ghost seduces the soul"!
"Hey!" Wang Hou let out a long sigh and said, "I lost everything in this car accident, so they turned into ghosts and never let me go. Fortunately, I still found them as a partner. This is human heart, no! Ghost heart."

Wang Hou didn't say any more, I looked at the man's ashen face, and knew that this incident had dealt him a great blow.

So, I patted Wang Hou on the shoulder, and gently comforted me: "How can the things in the dream be taken seriously? Besides, you stepped forward and took care of the funeral for your friends. It was too late for them to thank you. How could you find me?" Where are you fascinated?"

While we were talking, the waiter brought out the meals I ordered, a bowl of rice for each person, plus a vegetable stir-fried rapeseed dish, a plate of old vinegar peanuts, and two bottles of beer.

"Let's eat something first! Everything is over!"

But who knew that at this time, Wang Hou looked at those simple meals, and suddenly a strange expression appeared on his face.

He didn't move his chopsticks, but pointed to the meals.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this meal?" From his eyes, I felt an inexplicable fear.
