a zombie haunts me

Chapter 29 The Bronze Mirror Kills

I saw that her snow-white shirt was covered with blood, and some stinky blood stuck to her hair, covering the left half of her face.

Her eyes were red with bloodshot eyes.

For a long time, she kept staring at me with those red eyes, as if she was going to stare me out of a hole.

My mind suddenly buzzed, did she see Ah Lang?

I quickly pushed A Lang away. If someone found me with a dead body next to me, I guess the crime of killing Aunt Li would definitely be charged on A Lang.

At this time, I heard Ah Lang's voice softly coming from my ear: "Don't worry, lady, she won't see me."

My heart immediately relaxed, but I found that the way Susu looked at me was like looking at a murderer.

That look made my scalp tingle, I looked at her blankly and said, "Susu, calm down, I believe Aunt Li has a spirit in heaven, and I definitely don't want to see you like this."

I saw Susu's red eyes slowly shed tears, the tears slowly slid down her thin face, dripped on Aunt Li's body, and mixed with the stinky blood.

My heart was a little heavy, but I was also a little scared. I didn't know what kind of method I should use to comfort Susu.

But at this moment, I suddenly found some reflective objects.

My eyes followed the reflective object, and found that the black cloth that originally covered the long desk was gone.

And what was placed on that desk turned out to be a bronze mirror.

I felt the blood rushing to my forehead, and I stood stiffly in place, as if my feet had been nailed to the floor.

Because, I found that the copper mirror was covered with a golden frame, and the texture of the frame was very fine, as if it was carved by hand.

And that bronze mirror was exactly the same as the one I saw hanging on the boulder when I first came to Longtou Village!
I gasped suddenly, my whole body was icy cold, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on me, and it was cold from head to toe.

And at this moment, I felt the whole house shake violently. The copper mirror placed on the long table shook up and down while making a rattling sound, like a creaking laugh.

Suddenly, I saw a line of blood slowly flowing from the top of the bronze mirror.

I was so scared that I was shaking like a sieve, and cold sweat broke out in an instant.

"Susu...mirror...child, mirror..."

I pointed to the mirror, my fingers trembling uncontrollably.

When Su Su's face turned to the mirror, a stream of blood suddenly spewed out from the mirror, and the stench of blood instantly covered the bronze mirror.

The blood was like a fountain, the spurted blood gathered more and more on the long table, and then slowly flowed down from the table, dripping all over the floor.

My brain suddenly exploded with a buzzing sound, and the strong senses stimulated my nerves, and I almost collapsed.

At this time, the villagers who heard the screams arrived one after another.

Uncle Han was the first to appear in front of me, "Mr. Liu, Mr. Li!"

At this moment, he saw Aunt Li lying in a pool of blood, and Susu who was crying.

"Could it be Empress Shixian..."

Before Uncle Han could finish his sentence, he was pulled tightly by the village head and other villagers who came after him.

The villagers kept silent about that matter, and I vaguely realized that all this might not be as simple as Pixel told me.

But at this moment, my mind can no longer think calmly.

At this moment, I suddenly realized that the bronze mirror placed on the long table in the room was gone!

Several strong villagers walked into the room, slowly helped Susu up, and then began to clean up Aunt Li's body.

I stood by in a daze, unable to help.

But what I thought more about was why the bronze mirror suddenly disappeared?
The cold sweat has completely soaked my clothes, and I leaned against the cold wall, feeling the coolness slowly seeping into my body along my sweaty back, deep into the bone marrow.

My whole body couldn't stop trembling, even though Ah Lang was always by my side to protect me, but my heart couldn't calm down no matter what.

"My lady, you have to be strong."

A Lang encouraged me beside me, but my cold body had almost lost consciousness.

Just as the villagers were packing up Aunt Li's body, a burst of terrifying laughter suddenly entered the dormitory accompanied by cold wind.

Everyone became vigilant immediately, and when everyone was looking around, looking for the source of the sound, I saw a figure flash across the opposite window.

It turned out to be that silly elder sister in the big red floral padded jacket...

I don't know where the strength came from, I stood up suddenly, pointed to the window and said, "There she is!"

Everyone looked towards the window in unison, but the red figure had disappeared, and the horrifying laughter was getting further and further away.

"Chase!"

Several strong villagers quickly ran out of the dormitory and chased after the red shadow.

At this time, I heard Ah Lang's voice: "They can't catch up."

Sure enough, they came back not long after, and I noticed that when they came back, they were all out of breath.

My heart sank immediately, and I thought over and over again, what is the reason for all this? If the bronze mirror really killed people, then why did the silly elder sister appear at the scene of the crime?
On this day, all the students in the school have a holiday.

Susu and I wore sackcloth and filial piety and watched the villagers bury Aunt Li's body.

Although I only got along with Aunt Li for a few days, I can feel how kind Aunt Li is to me.

She regards me as important as Susu, but, just as I felt the first time I saw her, she is a stubborn and honest person.

I don't understand why the bronze mirror came to her. I always feel that something is preordained in the dark.

The sky was gloomy, and a cold wind blew from time to time. It was obviously summer, but I shivered.

Aunt Li's body was placed in the coffin, and I watched the coffin being buried into the soil bit by bit.

Susu looked at the coffin expressionlessly, her hair hanging slightly covered the left half of her face.

I can feel her heavy heart at this moment, since she found Aunt Li's body, she hasn't said a word.

Not long after Aunt Li was buried, I suddenly heard a bang, the sky seemed to have a big opening, and there was a muffled thunder.

Soon, it began to rain cats and dogs.

The rain came suddenly and violently, and the villagers were unprepared, so they left hastily.

I took Susu, who was in a daze, back to school. At this time, the sky was completely dark, and night came quietly.

Susu was in a bad mood, so I prepared the dinner alone. Of course, A Lang was always helping me.

"A Lang, when Aunt Li's body was found today, did you see that bronze mirror on that long table?"

While I was cooking, I asked cautiously.

A Lang nodded and said calmly, "I see."

"But when the villagers arrived, the bronze mirror was gone. Tell me, the murderer who killed Aunt Li was Shi Xian, that silly elder sister, or... the bronze mirror?"

I couldn't hide my words in my heart, but when I said this, I still felt a cool breeze pouring into my neck.

A Lang didn't answer. After a long time, he found that I had been staring into his eyes, so he sighed deeply: "In my opinion, they all have problems!"

Sure enough, as I expected, even Ah Lang could see it. I guess those villagers saw that silly elder sister even if they didn't see the bronze mirror next to the corpse.

I remember that Uncle Han said that he would go to the village chief to discuss and take back the bronze mirror in the hands of the silly elder sister.

However, now that Aunt Li had an accident, the bronze mirror was still found.

Does that mean that as long as you find the silly elder sister and get back the bronze mirror, everything can be solved?

But I heard from Susu that even if I get the bronze mirror back, I still have to take the bronze mirror and I am willing to go back!
My heart was in a mess, and I felt that my whole body was already stiff.

"My lady, the vegetables are burnt!"

A Lang reminded me, and I realized that all the vegetables in the pot were burnt by me.

A burnt smell came over the surface, reminding me of the villagers burning animal carcasses yesterday, and it was the same stench.

My stomach rolled, and I felt extremely uncomfortable. I clutched my chest and retched for a while, but nothing came out.

"I'll still come."

A Lang carefully helped me to sit down, and then poured out all the dishes I had fried.

"Forget it, don't do it, I don't have an appetite either, there is still some porridge in the pot, I'll go get it for Susu."

After all, I took a deep breath, trying to keep my head clear.

However, when I filled the porridge and brought it out, Susu was gone.

My whole body seemed to be struck by lightning, and I didn't move for a long time.

Could it be that Susu was also killed?

I felt a cold air rise from the soles of my feet, and that cold air rushed directly to my forehead.

"Ah Lang, Susu is gone!"

I yelled in horror, A Lang quickly grabbed the porridge bowl in my hand, put it on the table, and then said to me: "Don't worry, we'll look around the house."

So, A Lang and I started a blanket search, but we searched all over the school, including the dormitory, but we still couldn't find Susu.

I was very flustered, on the one hand, I was worried that Susu would be overwhelmed, and on the other hand, I was worried that the bronze mirror would find her.

"Ah Lang, what should I do, I'm worried that something will happen to Susu!"

I excitedly held A Lang's hand, he was the only one I could rely on.

A Lang didn't answer, but just took a deep breath, thought carefully, and then asked me: "What do you think Susu is most worried about?"

I was shocked, and my heart skipped a beat, "You mean, Susu is..."
