a zombie haunts me

Chapter 307 Mask
At that moment, my heart couldn't help trembling suddenly, I could feel how helpless the owner of that voice was.

A Lang didn't say anything, and the next second, I heard the girl on the phone say: "I am Su Xiaoman, but every night, I am no longer myself, you said, Can you help me?"

"where are you?"

A Lang is much calmer than I imagined, but I can see from his tightly furrowed eyebrows that things may still be not optimistic.

"I'm in the dormitory, I can't go downstairs anymore, my... my legs..."

Su Xiaoman's voice became weaker and weaker.

"Okay, you stay in the dormitory, we will come right away."

After Ah Lang finished speaking, he quickly hung up the phone, and dragged me to the graduate student's apartment.

"She finally found out that she was controlled by the spirit."

I couldn't help but feel a little happy, I thought, as long as she cooperates, we should be able to catch the Wraith very quickly.

However, A Lang shook his head lightly, and said in a serious tone: "She has already discovered it, but she has never known how to get rid of that wraith."

In an instant, I couldn't help but gasp, it turned out that Su Xiaoman had discovered it a long time ago, but when we saw Su Xiaoman last time, not only did she not say anything, moreover, she didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with her at all. .

"Resentful spirits don't act on people all the time. Su Xiaoman also has her own consciousness. Have you forgotten that she pushed Xiao Rufeng away that night?"

After being reminded by A Lang, I remembered it, that is to say, in fact, Su Xiaoman's own consciousness is always there, but sometimes, she has no way to express it.

The sun is very strong and strong, but it still makes me feel cold when it is exposed to the surroundings of this postgraduate apartment, as if a protective cover is heavily pressed on the outside of this building, which makes people feel uncomfortable at all. to the warmth of the sun.

As soon as we walked into the building, the fragrance of peach blossoms spread across our faces, which was different from the last time we felt, because almost every girl who came in and out of the graduate student apartment seemed to have a faint fragrance of peach blossoms.

"How could this be?"

I asked A Lang, and the doubts in my heart became deeper and deeper, almost covering me completely.

A Lang stared at the building with a dignified expression. Suddenly, he said: "Oops, this is the resentful spirit choosing a new host. It seems that Su Xiaoman is about to die!"

My heart couldn't help trembling slightly, my breathing stopped for a few seconds, and then it became more and more rapid.

A Lang dragged me quickly to the graduate student's apartment, quickly got into an elevator, and went straight to Su Xiaoman's dormitory on the seventh floor.

The fragrance became stronger and stronger, but I clearly felt a breath of death.

A Lang pushed open the door of Su Xiaoman's dormitory, but when we saw her, she could only lie on the bed, motionless.

We approached her slowly, and the next second, the person who caught our eyes turned out to be an old lady. Yes, her face was covered with wrinkles, and even her hair was white.

The snow-white hair hanging down from the bed made my heart tremble.

I didn't know when the cold sweat seeped out, and I felt as if all the strength in my body had been emptied, and my legs almost went limp, and I sat on the ground with a "slap".

An old voice suddenly appeared, and I heard the old lady say to us: "I am Su Xiaoman, but you are already late..."

A Lang took a step forward and gently helped her up from the bed. Suddenly, I heard A Lang say to her, "She's gone?"

Su Xiaoman nodded, I couldn't see the expression, but the slightly drooping corners of her eyes made me feel that her soul was about to leave my body.

"Yeah...she's gone at last, and I...get rid of her at last."

Su Xiaoman smiled, a wrinkled face could barely squeeze out a smile.

"Tell us, what's going on?"

A Lang looked a little anxious, I knew that if I didn't find Faceless soon, the next victim would appear soon.

"This matter starts with an online shopping."

Su Xiaoman seemed to be getting weaker and weaker, as if there was an inexplicable pressure on her body.

After pondering for a moment, she went on to say: "I am not a pretty girl. During the four years of my undergraduate studies, no boy fell in love with me at all. Until I was admitted to this school as a graduate student, I made up my mind to have a vigorous talk. love."

As she spoke, she seemed to be caught in some kind of memory.

"I like Xiao Rufeng. From the first time I saw him on the basketball court, I fell in love with him. I will never forget the moment when he scored a goal and looked back at me. The kind of fanaticism in my heart, but I didn't expect that I would eventually become his murderer..."

"Tell us, what happened to that online shopping?"

Ah Lang was a little anxious. I knew that he was not interested in having a crush on a girl at all.

"In order to make Xiao Rufeng pay attention to me, and to make myself more beautiful, I accidentally discovered an artifact on the Internet that can make me beautiful."

When she said this, I couldn't help feeling cold, and I asked, "Is it a kind of facial mask?"

"You... how do you know?"

She looked at me in shock, and then said: "I placed the order the night before, and the mask was delivered to the door of my dormitory the next morning. Before I opened it, I smelled a fragrance, which attracted me I can't wait for the fragrance to spread on my face."

I can understand what Su Xiaoman said. In fact, I am the same. When I smelled that fragrance for the first time, I also felt itchy in my heart, and I wanted to try it.

"Because the customer service has repeatedly emphasized that the mask can only be applied at night, so, just after nightfall, I couldn't wait to open the box."

When she said this, she seemed to recall something terrifying, her pupils flared, as if she was stimulated.

"There is only one mask in the box. The moment I opened the mask, I felt like I had suddenly found a beautiful soul. However, when I couldn't wait to apply the mask, the effect was sharp on my face. The stinging pain is simply unbearable for me, it's like...as if someone is changing my face..."

At that moment, I felt like an electric current passed through my whole body, especially when I heard the word "face change", my breathing suddenly stopped.

"However, after a while, my face didn't hurt anymore. It was cold and comfortable. After about 5 minutes, the mask stuck to my face obediently. When I saw the mask in the mirror When I was alone..."

She stopped suddenly, and the panic in her eyes disappeared, replaced by an indescribable fear.

"The me in the mirror has completely changed. I'm not even sure if it's me. It's like a different person."

She stretched out her hand, took out her mobile phone from under the pillow, pointed to the photo on the mobile phone screen and said to us: "Look, is this me? I have become so beautiful."

I took the mobile phone in her hand and stared at the photo. I always felt that the woman in the photo had an indescribable evil spirit.

At this time, Su Xiaoman's old hand slowly stroked her cheek, however, that wrinkled face was decades behind the person in the photo.

"You know, I've lived for more than 20 years, and it's the first time I've become so beautiful. I enjoy the feeling of being noticed in the crowd, the jealousy of girls, and the pursuit of boys."

She paused, her eyes were completely satisfied, and she continued: "My body also seems to be changing, I don't need to lose weight, I don't need to deliberately control my mouth, I look good in whatever I wear. You know how attractive it is to me to eat all I can without gaining weight?"

At that moment, I seemed to see a girl with low self-esteem slowly find confidence, which is probably what she really lacked.

I suddenly remembered that the last time A Lang and I followed Su Xiaoman to a restaurant, seeing her overeating, I just felt sore nose, is beauty really that important?
"With my efforts, Xiao Rufeng also fell in love with me like other boys. I enjoyed the time with him very much. It will always be the best memory in my life."

As she said this, her eyes looked even more blurred.

"And then, when did you feel something was wrong?"

I think Su Xiaoman should have discovered it for a long time, otherwise, she would not have said the word "finally" just now.

"I put on a mask at night, but every morning, the mask will fall off by itself and return to the box. I find that every time the mask falls off, I become more and more ugly. On the contrary, when I put on the mask, I also It will become more and more beautiful, until one day, I found that when I didn't apply a mask, I couldn't see my face clearly in the mirror..."

At that moment, my heart also trembled slightly, yes, I remember when I saw Su Xiaoman for the first time, I saw that her facial features were completely blurred, and she was also very thin, almost So thin that only skin and bones remain.

"I started to get scared, and finally, one morning, I made up my mind and left the dormitory with that box."

As she spoke, her whole body trembled slightly from the pain, and even her voice became weaker and weaker.

"Where did you go, do you want to throw away that box of mask?"

I pressed, eager to find out exactly what she had done.

"You're right, I really wanted to throw it away, so I found a place where no one was around, dug a hole and buried the box."

When she said this, panic returned to her face again, and my heart sank slightly.

After a while, she went on to say: "But I never dreamed that when I returned to the dormitory, the box was still quietly placed there!"
