a zombie haunts me

Chapter 21 I'm With You

His laughter was like a sharp dagger, piercing directly into my heart.

My heartbeat suddenly stopped for a few seconds, and then it started beating violently. I could feel the pores all over my body open, as if about to explode.

"what on earth do you want?"

The cold and clammy breath from his body got into my nostrils, my teeth were chattering, and my whole body trembled even more.

"Even if you force me or use magic to control me, I will try my best to kill the child."

Although I was afraid in my heart, my heart was still firm. I knew very well that he was a zombie, and I must not compromise with him!

"Don't worry, I won't force you."

He let go of me suddenly, and his body slowly floated up.

In a blink of an eye, I saw that he was already standing beside me.

I moved my already stiff body, and slowly retracted into the corner, "I advise you to stop thinking about it."

"Don't you want to find out the cause of your parents' death?"

He moved his finger, and a photo appeared in his hand.

I took a closer look and it turned out to be a photo of my parents.

Dead zombies, stole my luggage, and even took my parents' photos too.

"Give me back the photos of my parents."

I yelled hoarsely, but didn't dare to go forward to grab it, because I knew that I couldn't grab it anyway, just like my diary, as long as he moved his fingers, he disappeared in an instant.

"Didn't you always want to know the real cause of your parents' death?"

There was a strong sense of delusion in his words, "I can help you investigate."

"No, I appreciate your kindness. Human corpses go on different paths. Wherever you came from, go back."

I have already been lied to by a ghost once, how can I still believe a zombie?
"Without my help, you wouldn't have found them at all."

He smiled again, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a strange arc, and he said, "I might as well tell you that the last trip of your parents before they died was to come to Coffin Town."

My heart suddenly skipped a beat. I have to say that what this zombie said coincided with what I had guessed in my heart.

"How did my parents die?"

It suddenly occurred to me that he might know the cause of my parents' death, so I bounced off the bed.

"As I said, I don't have the skills of a prophet, and naturally it is impossible to know what happened in the past."

He gave me a slanted look, and returned the photo to me in disdain.

"Then how did you know that my parents' last trip before their death was to come to Coffin Town? Tell me!"

I took the group photo of my parents, which was slightly yellowed due to the age.

There has never been a moment in my heart where I really want to figure out what happened that year.

"Your grandma is so afraid of you coming to Coffin Town, don't you ever doubt it?"

He turned slightly, Yuebai's robe swayed slightly, like my wobbly heart.

"You've been following me?"

I suddenly discovered that he even remembered clearly what my grandma said.

"Of course, you woke me up, and I'm following you."

After he finished speaking, a strange wind came from nowhere.

The strange wind hurt my eyes, but I just blinked and he disappeared.

The windows in the ward swayed in the wind and made a creaking sound, and my originally hot brain slowly cooled down.

He left, I should think about it calmly, what should I do next.

Even if this zombie doesn't force me to have a baby with him, I still have to find out why my parents died.

By the way, find a way to get rid of this zombie!

I thought about the little Jiujiu in my heart, and fell asleep in a daze.

Half asleep and half awake, it seemed that someone had tucked me in, but I was so sleepy that I couldn't open my eyes at all.

The next morning, I was woken up by a loud noise.

When I opened my eyes, it was that naive uncle who brought a lot of villagers to see me.

My drowsiness disappeared in an instant, and I sat up flattered. Before I could speak, someone brought me tea immediately.

"Mr. Liu, we are all villagers in Longtou Village. We heard that you had a car accident on the way here, so we organized everyone to come and see you."

"Thank you for coming to see me, I'm fine."

It's strange to say that I was hit by a car, but I only suffered minor injuries in a few places.

I suddenly remembered what seemed to be surrounded by something cold before the crash, and there was a faint smell of sawdust.

Could it be that dead zombie saved me?
"By the way, Teacher Liu, your grandma suddenly received a call this morning, and then left, leaving you a note."

I took the note and looked at it, and there was only a simple line on it, "I have something to do at home, I'll go back first, remember not to stay in Coffin Town."

It was indeed grandma's handwriting, but what happened that made her go home so anxiously?
According to grandma's usual temper, she must take me back.

"Mr. Liu, you must not leave. Our Longtou Village needs a teacher like you so much."

Several villagers saw the contents of the note and begged me not to leave.

I can understand their difficulties. Now few teachers are willing to come to such a poor place to teach.

As I was hesitating, several villagers almost knelt down towards me.

I hurriedly got off the hospital bed and helped them up, "Actually, I also want to stay, but grandma will definitely not agree."

"Ms. Liu, you don't understand the situation in our Longtou Village. Dozens of children are crowded into one classroom. One teacher has to teach all the students. The children are not in the same grade and the courses are different. You are the same as us. You can experience it by seeing it.”

I've heard of the suffering of the children in Coffin Town, but I didn't expect it to be like this.

Let me leave like this, I really can't bear it.

"Okay, I can go to teach the children during this time, and I will apply to the city to send more teachers here, but, as you can see, something happened in my family, so I still have to go back anyway .”

I know what Coffin Town means to me, and I just want to find out the cause of my parents' death quickly, and then leave as soon as possible.

The villagers were overjoyed, and helped me pay all the hospital bills together, and they must take me back to the village now.

I couldn't resist their enthusiasm, so I simply packed up and followed the villagers of Longtou Village to the school.

Strange to say, it was still cloudy and rainy a few days ago, but today the sun is scorching.

Although the villagers took me to cut corners, I still felt like I was about to be roasted.

The pores on my body are all open, and the sweat is dripping down drop by drop.

"Mr. Liu, if you hold on for a while, you will be there soon."

Seeing that I was recovering from a serious illness, the villagers even lent me my hat and fan.

But I still felt hot, and finally climbed up a low hill, and a cool breeze blew, and I felt much more energetic.

"It's so comfortable here."

I muttered, but there is no shade here, but I can always feel the cool breeze.

"Of course, Mr. Liu, you don't know, but this is the place where the villagers pay homage to Empress Shixian."

After he finished speaking, I immediately felt a chill approaching my back, and my goosebumps exploded instantly.

I hurried back, but saw nothing.

After thinking about it, I asked embarrassingly, "Ms. Shixian is..."

"Look, that's Empress Shixian, she is the one who keeps our Longtou Village safe and sound."

Uncle Han pointed to the direction above my head, and following the direction of his finger, I saw a huge stone standing on the hillside.

It looks more like a tombstone, covered with green moss.

There is also a bronze mirror hanging on the top of the stone. The direction of the bronze mirror is facing the west, the direction where the sun sets.

There seems to be a golden frame on the side of the bronze mirror, and the texture of the frame is very fine, even from such a long distance, I can see it clearly, it is very eye-catching.

At this time, the scorching sun above my head hurt me so much, I squinted my eyes, and vaguely, I seemed to see that the stone seemed to have turned red.

Like the color of blood dyed red, the green moss on it instantly turned into countless blood-stained ghost hands. The sticky blood dripped drop by drop from the ghost hands, and the air seemed to be filled with a thick bloody.

Those ghost hands seemed to grow out of the cracks in the stone, and they were waving at me.

I suddenly felt a chill, and the sun was shining brightly, but I felt cold all over, as if I had fallen into a huge ice cellar.

I was obviously sweating because of the heat, but at this moment, I discovered that my back was covered in cold sweat.

The cool wind blowing from all around seemed to carry a bone-piercing coldness, and I seemed to be able to see a light layer of hoarfrost on my body.

I was so frightened that I stiffened and took a step back unconsciously.

"Teacher Liu, be careful!"

Uncle Han suddenly pulled me back, and I walked out of the hallucination just now. Looking at the stone again, it has returned to its original appearance.

I gasped heavily, why do I always see hallucinations, could it be that there is something wrong with this stone.

As I was thinking about it, Uncle Han said to me seriously, "Mr. Liu, if you are tired, take a rest. Fortunately, I am by your side. Otherwise, look..."

I just recovered from my fear, when I heard his words, I subconsciously glanced behind me.

God, behind me is a bottomless abyss.

The hairs all over my body stood on end in an instant, my brain was buzzing, and my scalp was about to explode.

I remember that when I just climbed up, it was just a low hillside. Could this be my illusion?
I found myself no longer able to tell what was real and what was hallucination.

Suddenly, I heard a terrible laugh from the mountain.

That laughter seemed to come from a very deep valley, sharp and piercing, accompanied by an echo of resentment.

I was trembling with fright, but I didn't dare to move a step. I was afraid that if I was not careful, I would fall into this bottomless abyss.

The terrifying laughter continued, like layers of waves rippling on the originally calm lake.

The sound waves are constantly transmitted into my ears, and I feel something terrifying behind me is approaching me, getting closer, getting closer...
