a zombie haunts me

Chapter 56 Death Cycle
Fear was like sharp sawtooth cutting my sensitive nerves back and forth, and a sharp stabbing pain came from my heart inexplicably.

I stared blankly at the map, and a few vigorous words quickly broke into my sight.

Under the dim light of the mobile phone, Bai Chenxu held the map tightly in his hand, and I found three words near the thumb of his right hand holding the map - Liu Gaoyang.

A huge hole suddenly broke in the heart, and blood kept pouring out.

I will never forget this name, this one that sounds familiar but looks strange.

My parents left when I was still naive. I clearly remember that I have asked my grandma countless times what is my father's name.

Grandma always answered me with great reluctance: "Your father's name is Liu Gaoyang, which means the sun is shining brightly."

It was as if something poked into my forehead in an instant, tearing back and forth, giving me a splitting headache.

"Little Pepper, I seem to know why your name is engraved on this jade pendant."

Bai Chenxu suddenly raised his head with a very serious expression.

I opened my mouth, wanted to say something but couldn't say anything, my throat seemed to be pinched by something, and I couldn't make a sound at all.

"I remember when I was young, I made fun of you for having no father or mother. At that time, you always told me with your hands on your hips, filled with righteous indignation, that your father's name is Liu Gaoyang, and your mother's name is Fan Qiuyu. One is sunny and the other is rainy in autumn."

He unfolded the map carefully, and specially placed the vigorous signature in front of me, "Look, this is left by your father."

Obviously this sentence has been repeated in my heart thousands of times, but when Bai Chenxu said it, I still felt my heart tremble, as if I heard some heavy judgment.

Unexpectedly, 20 years ago, my parents really came to this cemetery, maybe they died here...

On the wet ground, the cold air is like rushing waves, rushing into my body.

I shivered and curled up together, but the three clear words on the map were magnified infinitely before my eyes.

"I wasn't sure at first, but there are so many coincidences in this world. Your name is on the jade pendant, and your father's name is on the map... Well, it must not be a coincidence!"

Bai Chenxu frowned slightly, as if thinking of something, and then said to me: "However, the characters on this jade pendant don't seem to be engraved by your parents. Modern stroke order is different."

Bai Chenxu held the jade pendant in his hand, and repeatedly identified it with curious eyes. After a long time, he hesitated again, "By the way, aren't your parents from the geological survey team? Why did you come here to do the archaeology?"

I'm obviously not in the mood to explain so much to him. At this moment, I'm so upset, and I hope someone can tell me everything.

But even grandma probably doesn't know what's going on. All these mysteries may only be solved slowly by myself.

A gust of wind blows, like dense caterpillars crawling over my body.

The cold air around me almost suffocated me, my heart was beating violently, no matter how much I restrained myself, I still couldn't stop shaking.

"Little Pepper, don't be afraid. Since God let us find the map of the tomb and the jade pendant left by your parents, it means that something must have happened in this tomb. As long as we follow the clues to find it, we will definitely find it." I can find it!"

Bai Chenxu seemed to see the fear in my heart, and kept encouraging me in my ear: "Master said that many things are already preordained, so why worry about what will happen in the future?"

I hurriedly raised my eyes and met Bai Chenxu's eyes. In the not very bright tomb, I saw that his deep pupils seemed to emit light.

He was right, anyway, Chu Tianshi also predicted that I would not live to be 25 years old, so why should I worry about it, the worst thing is that I will die.

I stood up with difficulty and looked carefully at the mark left by my father on the map.

From the map, we have not entered the main tomb at all. If we walk along this road, we will meet a river. Only after crossing this river can we reach the ear chamber closest to the main tomb.

"No!" Bai Chenxu suddenly shouted in surprise, "It's obviously a cave, where did the river come from?"

After he finished speaking, he quickly took out the compass from the treasure bag, and looked at it according to the direction.

I saw his expression became more serious, his eyes were full of astonishment, "This map is wrong!"

Hearing his words, I couldn't help shivering, the map is wrong, how could it be wrong?

Bai Chenxu bent down slightly, then spread out the map on the ground, put the compass aside, and said to me, "Master said, this tomb was built in a very yin place. Since it is a very yin place, how could the tomb be built?" In the east, if you know that the sun rises in the east, isn’t that the punishment of the sun every day?”

My heart beat suddenly stopped for a few seconds before it started beating violently. The cold air was sucked into my lungs, as if it was about to freeze.

Could it be that the accident happened because my parents took a fake map?

"Coward, are you sure you read it right?"

I looked at Bai Chenxu with an unbelievable look, and the fear in my heart gradually expanded step by step.

"How could it be wrong? Even if I don't understand anything, I can't even tell the difference between southeast and north."

He narrowed his slender eyes, his thick eyebrows were like twisted hemp rope, and said displeasedly, "Can you stop calling me a coward?"

I ignored him, but my heart was like a mess.

A Lang, who was lying on the ground, was still sleeping peacefully. I vaguely felt that the truth of my parents' death 20 years ago might have something to do with A Lang.

However, the truth of 20 years ago has always been a mystery to me.

"Seriously, Pepper, are you going to follow this map? I always feel that this map is wrong. Let's act according to the original plan."

Bai Chenxu stared into my eyes seriously, I knew he would never lie to me, let alone harm me.

"But I want to look for this map, maybe I can find more clues?"

I suddenly grabbed Bai Chenxu's sleeve tightly, like grabbing a life-saving straw.

He took a deep look at me, and his eyes fell on the map again.

After a long time, he suddenly looked at me, and said in a low voice, "Little Pepper, as long as it's something you want to do, even if it's going up the knife mountain or down the oil pan, I'll accompany you, but, have you ever thought that if you really In case of an accident, what do you ask Grandma Lan to do?"

My heart tightened inexplicably, and fear was like a sharp barb thorn, drawing a long hole in my heart.

These years, I have been living with my grandma, if I die, what will my grandma do?
When my parents died, she was already a white-haired person to a black-haired person, if I also...

I can't think anymore, what should I do?

One road leads to the truth 20 years ago, but it is full of dangers. Although the other road is a little safer, we don't know what will happen.

The heartbeat was like a low and depressed drumbeat, and even the air seemed to be filled with a dangerous smell.

After a long time, I finally made a difficult decision, "Let's follow the map first, and if we find something wrong, we will run back immediately, okay?"

Bai Chenxu hesitated for a moment, his eyes fixed on the map and compass, he reached out and gently wiped the dust on the map, his face became more and more solemn.

"Okay, let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, we must return immediately."

After Bai Chenxu finished speaking, he quickly put away the compass, and then folded the map and put it in his pocket.

I looked at his old-fashioned shirt, which obviously didn't fit well, probably nineteen male clothes.

"As long as you can go out, I'll give you a shirt, guaranteed brand name, guaranteed fit!"

I have something to ask him now, of course I have to say something nice.

"Really, little pepper, don't break your promise!"

As Bai Chenxu said, he lifted Ah Lang up and put him on his shoulders.

I can imagine the feeling of him carrying a corpse, but this guy has been dealing with corpses since he was a child, so he should be used to it.

We walked all the way to the depths of the tomb along the direction of the map. Coincidentally, the road became narrower and narrower before it became wider in an instant.

This is a bit like the real layout of the cemetery, but I have no time to take care of so much.

I looked at the time on my phone, it was already seven o'clock in the evening, and I couldn't help feeling a little scared.

In the entire tomb, I only heard the footsteps of two people, and their heavy breathing...

There is endless darkness ahead, as if it will never come to an end.

But Bai Chenxu and I don't want to stop, time is running out, the sooner we get out, the better for us.

I don't know how long I walked, my legs were numb, but the journey was very smooth and I didn't encounter any danger.

I couldn't walk anymore, so I said to him, "Let's rest for a while, why have we walked for so long and still haven't reached the river marked on the map?"

At this moment, I somewhat believe Bai Chenxu's words. Perhaps, this map is really marked wrong!
Bai Chenxu also stopped, put A Lang down, opened the map by himself, and looked at it with the dim light of his phone.

"Strange, according to the distance indicated on the map, we should have arrived long ago!"

He himself was puzzled, but he couldn't tell the reason.

But when my eyes returned to the phone screen again, I was stunned and my legs trembled uncontrollably.

Because the time displayed on the mobile phone is already nine o'clock, since we found the map, we have been walking in this tomb for two hours.

At this time, the dense shoe prints on the ground attracted my attention. I compared the sizes and found that those shoe prints were all left by me and Bai Chenxu...

"Is this tomb a labyrinth? How do we go around and around, we have been walking the same way?"

My heartbeat suddenly stopped for a few seconds, and then started beating wildly.

"No, we've fallen into a death loop!"
