My Zombie Husband

Chapter 77: The Truth

Translator: LiamHW

Thinking of this, Xia Mingyu felt uncomfortable. He had always been by Chen Yutian’s side and naturally felt that Chen Yutian was innocent, but knowing that so many people had died because of Chen Yutian’s curse, he couldn’t figured out how he felt now in his mind, what a strange feeling.

“How vicious the man is who turned Chen Yutian into an array eye…” Xia Mingyu said in anger, he wanted to avenge Chen Yutian and these innocent dead soul, but he didn’t even know who the target was, what could he do?

Feeling a bit loss about what occured to him, Xia Mingyu turned to look at the diary, but the diary was locked up that he couldn’t open it, however, he did find a key from the locker.

The diary was as old as the photos, it was showing that the date of the first page was in March of 2006, that was to say, it was the time when the school started. Xia Mingyu flipped several pages and found that the journal was recorded once a week, and as expected, Chen Yutian wouldn’t write it diligently every day even if he kept it.

Skipping the trifles on the diary, Xia Mingyu flipped it for the last day of the semester, Chen Yutian mentioned on the paper that the teacher asked him to help. That arosed Xia Mingyu’s interest, and then he stopped flipping the paper, and read the one carefully.

Today’s day off, I heard that something was dug out during the refurbishment of girl’s dorm, most of the students went back home, but I decided to stay at school for a while because of the matter of my brother, however, to my surprise, I met the head teacher, and the teacher asked me to go to the girl’s dorm to help, so I went there without any doubts and hesitation.

That was so terrible! I escaped from that place! Everyone was dead! What was going on? What did the school do? Was it the cost to sacrifice legs for a damn living? If that happened, death would be better than that.

It seemed it was that day, Chen Yutian was the only survivor, but no, Chen Yutian was just an ordinary person, why did he survive as everybody died? Even if he could run faster, how come the corpse spirits let go of the sacrificer so easily?

The headmaster gave our family a sum of money and he wanted to suppress the matter, my parents didn’t say anything, but I thought, perhaps they were happier to take the money, just like the situation when my younger brother died, that was clearly the driver’s responsibility, but the money enchanted them and they gave up getting justice back to my brother.

They wanted me to die! Why should I be the fucking array eye? I didn’t do anything wrong? there was no way out now, what should I do? What should I do? Brother, Please forgive me for being so impotent. I couldn’t protect you. I couldn’t even protect myself now… No, I can’t wait for death. I have to escape.

At the end of the sheet of this matter was a long scratch, it was something like the mark of a broken pen and the handwriting was very messy. It could be implied that Chen Yutian was at his panic at that moment. It also could be estimated that as he finished the diary, then he was taken away to be buried alive. This diary was considered a curse of Chen Yutian, so it would be preserved which allowed him to kept writing.

“February 26th, 2007, rainny”

I’m alive? Yes, I’m alive. I can hear my heartbeat, my breath and my temperature! I’m not dead? How? They let me go? My head hurts so much, I can’t remember some things, I’m in my sophomore year of high school, so let it go, I don’t want to think about it.

Something’s wrong! I… I can’t get out! I can’t get out of school! I am not able to contact my parents, so weird! my classmates didn’t seem to know what happened to me, but the more so, the more I got anxious, nothing happened to my legs, but they were not supposed to be like that! They should be eaten by that monster! Why are they still intact? Am I alive, or I am already dead? ‘

March 4th, 2007, Heavy Rain.

Today, I saw a woman dressed in white in the lotus pond. I didn’t know her. The rain was so heavy, so I hid myself in the pavilion. The woman looked at me all the time. Her eyes got me so anxious and frightened and I felt like she was coming at me, but she didn’t move. The classmates next to me seemed able to see her too. A girl was scared and just ran out of the crowd, but she slipped and fell into the water. There was no one to save her but me rush over from the crowd and I was pushed into the water by someone else.

I didn’t save the girl successfully. But I could see something under the water, which was not so clear, the only thing I could comfirm was that the girl was dragged down, I returned to the shore. The woman in white still looked at me, her eyes were staring at me terribly and frightened me, I quickly stood up and ran away.

“July 12th, 2007, Sunny

My sophomore year was over, students in my class kept lossing their lives, and there were more and more weird events happened beyond my cognition… but my memory had been lossing some parts, and I didn’t even know what went wrong. It seemed like I could only spend the summer vacation in the school dormitory now. I wonder if my parents would worry.

How strange, the warden actually kindly didn’t drive me away, but instead let me stay, she didn’t even cut off the water and eletricity for me, and I did not know what she meant about that, but no one would stay in school in previous years. ‘

‘ April 4, 2008, Rainstorm

I saw that person, that Taoist named Sha, I had no idea what he had done to be like this. I questioned him, but he smiled and threw a bottle of strange powder at me. And then I lost my memories again, what I only knew was that someone died again in this fearsome school… ”

“…”

“April 14, 2016, Sunny.”

I recalled something, I was already dead, I remembered everything that happened before. After I was buried alive and became the array eye for a year, what they said was totally right about the deal spirits of the workers were all attached on me, so was the curse of that monster, and so was my own resentment, I was not a human, I am a dead spirit.

The fortune was that I met Xia Mingyu, he got a strange aroma which had been attractive to me, no, I would say the scent was attractive to all kinds of dead stuff, some ghosts dared to hurt him, but he was safe enough that someone was taking care of him. I got a feeling that I might be free soon as long as the corpse spirit disappeared, and at that time everything been cursed for a long time would be over… But after that, Xia Mingyu probably would be in a dangerous situation as many people would want to hurt him. I knew that they were afraid that they would die. In fact, I didn’t tell them about the curse completely. It was true that only one of the array eyes die would this event stop, but the one doomed to die was me and it had nothing to do with Xia Mingyu.

Some of them wanted to take Xia Mingyu to the back boy’s dorm. I did not have any idea what they were going to do, but it would definitely be so bad for Xia Mingyu. I beat them up and I think they probably wouldn’t have the guts to hurt Xia Mingyu for a short time. I absolutely did what I said. I lost my brother and I am not gonna to lose this one.

The diary was full of strange but sad ambience. After reading it, Xia Mingyu looked at Zhao Yun next to him as his mind was full of grief. He became speechless. In this diary, he could learn a lot from Chen Yutian, but he did not knew how to judge about that.

Zhao Yun didn’t understand why Chen Yutian was no different from the living person as a dead spirit, but the Taoist named Sha mentioned in the diary was worth noticing. But as for now, what really mattered was heading to meet Mu Feng.

“Xiaoyu, We’d better forget Chen Yutian at this moment. Don’t forget that we are going to meet with Mu Feng. If you drag it down, they’ll be in a more dangerous situation.” Zhao Yun analyzed the matter, Xia Mingyu calmed himself a bit and silently sorted the stuff out, Zhao Yun caressed his head and comforted him, at the moment when they were packing up the things, Zhao Yun recevied another call, it was from Cao Cao.

“General Zhao, here’s a deal. Let’s talk about it.” Cao Cao’s voice passed over and Zhao Yun frowned, saying, “I’m sorry, here’s an emergency right now.”

“Don’t hurry to refuse. You will agree to this deal. You are heading to save your friend, right? What a coincidence, I did received the message same as yours. I got something to take in where your friend went. How about it? Let’s collaborate.”

Just after Cao Cao had finished speaking, Xia Mingyu’s phone rang again. Oh lord, so many phone call today. Xia Mingyu answered the phone, and it turned out to be Sun Yaxin by the other side. How did this guy get his number?

“How did you get my number?” Xia Mingyu asked, Sun Yaxin answered in a disdain tongue, “You carried a phone on you when you sleep at my house. Remember? That also arose my curiosity how you got money to buy one. I used your phone to call mine. Then I got your number, that’s simple. If Zhao Yun wasn’t busy on phone call right now, I wouldn’t have called you. Okay, now, be serious. I got a phone call from Mu Feng, it seems that he is in trouble right now.”

Xia Mingyu glanced at Zhao Yun and replied on the phone, “What a coincidence, we received it from Mu Feng too. Also, Cao Cao is talking to Zhao Yun now about heading to Master together. What do you think?”

“Alright, the big boss Cao knew about it too? Looks like the news of Mu Feng has long leaked.” Sun Yaxin replied him in an odd tongue, Xia Mingyu could read what he meant, he estimated that Sun Yaxin suspected that Cao Cao dispatched someone to follow Mu Feng. However, the focus wasn’t at this point right now.

“Don’t mess up these now. We definitely would go to save Master, but whether taking with Cao Cao or not still need to be discussed.” As Xia Mingyu talked on the phone, he asked Zhao Yun with his eyes, perhaps the two people were connected tightly, and Zhao Yun actually read out what he meant from his eyes.

Zhao Yun nodded, he agreed to take with Cao Cao, so Xia Mingyu replied to Sun Yaxin, “Yun said that he doesn’t mind taking with Cao Cao and his partners. What about you? Are you going alone with us?”

“Of course not. I’ll bring my brother with me. Since you decided to be with Cao Cao, then we’ll be fine with that. Let’s see, We make an appointment to meet tomorrow at noon. We need to sort things out, and let’s gather at the airport.”

Sun Yaxin had already agreed, and Zhao Yun said to Cao Cao on the other end of the phone, “Okay, I’ll go. I’ll see you at the airport tomorrow at noon.”

“Very good, see you tomorrow. Doo…”

Xia Mingyu crooked his lips, he couldn’t figure out what the real intention that Cao Cao was carrying, but because of the event of “Three Days of Light”, he now had always been scared of Cao Cao’s personality and his group, he indeed didn’t want to meet them.

But that would be better to have them in the team for a stronger force to save Mu Feng, and to face the unknown risks that they were going to meet. Moreover, Cao Cao and his team were more familiar with some rules and regulations in this current world, that would be more smooth for them to handle something out of control.

“Meow, master, are Wang Chuan and Mu Feng fine?” Ba Wei leaned over and lingered at Zhao Yun’s feet, it could be sensed from the cat’s uttering that he was quite worried about them too, and sure enough, Bai Wei actually could not get along with Xia Mingyu when they were alone.. That was Zhao Yun’s existence between them to light up the peaceful atmosphere.

Xia Mingyu suddenly got a headache, a steak of purple light appeared in his eyes, he could sense that not far from Luoyang’s No.1 high school, the female ghost in white floated from the lotus pool and left the school, and there was a group of soul-eating worms showing up again under the girl’s dorm. The leader of worms was no longer transparent, instead took the blue, and its body was bigger than the ordinary worms, swallowing Chen Tian’s dissipated soul around the broken coffin.
