C34 jailer

Xia Xin didn't kill me, instead, she forcefully tore off my clothes that were covering my face. Her strength was so great that my neck was almost torn off by her.

Then she held a cell phone, pointed it at my face, and said nothing for a long time.

I put my hand over my eyes, and when I got used to the light, I saw that she was crying.

I panicked a little. "Alright, alright. What are you crying for?"

Xia Xin placed the phone on the corpse bed beside her. Coincidentally, it was the forehead of a corpse.

I felt very unlucky, but thinking about it, Xia Xin and I have been living corpses for such a long time.

The bright light of the phone on Xia Xin's face made me feel uncomfortable, because it belonged to someone else and the expression was hers.

She said to me, "You don't believe me. You put that picture on the bed, and you even lied to me. "

I was silent.

Xia Xin continued, "Your lies are so bad, but your expression is so serious. I even chose to believe you, but you lied to me in the end. "

I scratched my head, not knowing what to say. I was a little ashamed, but what could I do if I didn't lie to her?

Xia Xin asked me, "You want to know my identity?"

I forced myself to nod.

Xia Xin said faintly, "Even if I did, would you believe me? Weren't you always suspicious of me? "

I thought to myself, Xia Xin's resentment is not small. However, this gradually made me feel more at ease. At least Xia Xin still spoke as a friend, not a mortal enemy or a malicious ghost.

I said to her, "We are friends. Since we are friends, you should not hide this from me. What's the big deal if you're alive? Just explain it clearly. "

Xia Xin's face revealed a strange expression, "It looks like you already have a plan. Who told you? Your second uncle? "

I awkwardly nodded my head.

Xia Xin continued, "Is he really your second uncle?"

Just as I didn't know how to reply, I suddenly woke up from my stupor and said to her, "Are you going to ask me or me?"

Xia Xin indifferently said, "You guessed right, I am a live corpse. A living corpse from the Underworld. "

When I heard this, my heart almost went cold. Although I had already guessed it, I still found it hard to accept the confirmation.

Xia Xin acknowledged, "Capture unforgivable evildoers."

She looked at the door and said to me, "I'm a live corpse. As the name implied, a living corpse was a corpse that was still alive. My heart was gone, so there was no heartbeat. I can eat, I can talk, I can also feel joy, anger, and sadness, but without a heartbeat, this feeling will grow weaker and weaker, until one day, when I can no longer feel anything, I will become a completely manipulated machine. "

"So every time I go to a place, I go to the funeral home or the hospital mortuary. There were often fresh female corpses there. I would have possessed them. Walk around with their bodies. At first, their bodies were stiff and inconvenient to use. But after I exercise for a while and my bloodline has been cleared, I will be able to enjoy the feeling of being alive. "

"I like the sound of my heart beating. Plop, plop, plop … I also often ran out to the roadside stalls to eat steaming food, meat, and chili peppers. Eating all sorts of things that you normally wouldn't be able to enjoy. "

When Xia Xin said this, she didn't look at me, but at the dark room. I found her eyes full of hope and longing.

I suddenly felt that she was actually quite a sincere person. Wasn't it a bit too much for Mr. Zhao and I to plot against her?

As Xia Xin said this, she sighed, "But it's good now, you pierced a needle into the top of my head. My soul can't go back. If it does not return to its body before sunrise, it will begin to rot. I will soon be unable to use it, and I will be able to go from a living corpse to a lonely ghost. "

I looked outside a little panickedly and found that the sky was still dark.

I thought about it and asked, "Are you here to capture me?"

Xia Xin looked at me strangely and said, "I've already said it before, I'm here to save you."

I frowned. "Save me?" Is what you said true? My foster-grandpa invited you here? "

Xia Xin hesitated for a moment before saying, "I can tell you about this, but you definitely can't tell your second uncle."

I even had the urge to hang up the phone in my pocket. However, after hesitating for a moment, I decided not to make a move. Because of the recent series of actions, I believe that the Mr. Zhao would not harm me.

Xia Xin said in a low voice, "Your foster-grandpa is also a member of the Underworld."

I was almost scared to death. How is that possible? I was raised by a live corpse?

But I quickly shook my head. "No, no. foster-grandpa and I have been together for a long time, including after I had tidied up his things, his socks were not embroidered with the River Styx. "

Xia Xin said, "Of course not, because he's not a live corpse, but a prison guard."

I looked at Xia Xin, a little puzzled. "Prison guard, what do you mean?"

Xia Xin said, "Not only your foster-grandpa, your entire village has a mission, which is to take care of the things in your Golden Toad Temple. Of course, the only ones who don't know about this mission are you and Hu Dali. You're not from the village, you picked it up from the outside. But there was something wrong with Hu Dali's head. So no one told you this. "

"The things in the Golden Toad Temple were seized from the Underworld Prison. But for some reason, she didn't kill him. Instead, she built a temple on the mountain of graves, trapping it there. There are a total of nine people in your village's ancestors who moved to the vicinity of the cemetery to stay and look after this thing. "

"The results have been passed down from generation to generation. Although you still remember the mission, your mindset has changed. You have never seen Hades before, so you do not know how powerful Hades is. However, he knew how powerful that thing was. It was unknown who was the first to discover that this thing could cure illnesses. So the village began to have burial sickness. "

When I heard this, I couldn't help but lean forward.

Xia Xin said, "That's right, that thing is indeed capable. It can help you all treat illnesses and even extend your lives. But you know, there's nothing so good in the world. It is not free for your treatment. Why should I let you live? Why do you have to fake the burial? Because in the process, it is stealing your life. "

"Anyone who has been falsely buried will have their soul unable to leave the mountain. The only thing we can do is to waste time on it, get weaker and weaker from time to time, and then get swallowed by that thing in one gulp. "

I was shocked. "You mean, my foster-grandpa's soul can't leave?"

Xia Xin nodded, "Do you still remember what I told you the other time? Your foster-grandpa doesn't want to fake a burial. That thing controlled the rest of the people in the village and tricked you. "

"After so many years of accumulation, that thing is about to break free of the cage. Your foster-grandpa knows that he probably won't be able to escape, but he was worried that you would also be killed, so he used the method passed down by his ancestors to spread the news to the Underworld. So I came. It's as simple as that. I've already said everything that needs to be said, is that enough? "

I lowered my head and thought for a moment. Suddenly, I raised my head and said to Xia Xin, "That's not right. There's a loophole in the things you're talking about."

Xia Xin looked at me in surprise. "What loophole?"

I replied, "This Hu surname was given to me by the foster-grandpa. I actually am not related to the Hu Village by blood. That thing from the Golden Toad Temple, why did he want to kill me? If I'm in the village, it's going to kill me, so be it. I was out of the country at the time, so why did it lie to me to come back? "

Xia Xin suddenly laughed, "Alright, looks like I can't hide anything from you."

She said softly, "Do you still remember Master Xue?"

I paused, then nodded. "The mason?"

Xia Xin nodded, "Do you know where the mason went?"

I said, "How would I know? If I had known, I would have found him. I don't want him pestering me all day. "

I picked up Xia Xin's mobile phone, looked at myself, and pointed at the shadow. "Look, I've been carrying such a weird shadow all day, and I don't feel comfortable about it either."

Xia Xin took the phone back and said to me, "Twenty years ago, there was an outsider who wanted to kill something in the Golden Toad Temple. So I brought a treasure into the mountain. "

"Before he entered the mountain, he heard that the carving of the Buddha in the Master Xue was good, so he asked for a Buddha statue to protect him. Who knew that while waiting for the Buddha statues to be carved, Master Xue would see his treasure? "

"Master Xue doesn't know what it is used for, but he knows that it's priceless. How much money can a stonemason make? And because of a moment of greed, he stole the treasure. "

"The outsiders brought the Buddha statues to the Golden Toad Temple. Because they lacked such treasures, their powers were greatly reduced and they were killed by the things in the temple. And after the Master Xue obtained the treasures, they quickly encountered a few disasters, which resulted in their deaths without a burial ground. Even now, they still could not find the corpse. As for that treasure, it's most likely still in his body. "

Puzzled, I asked, "Didn't he die from insulting the Buddha statue?"

"Insulting the Buddha is only one reason," Xia Xin said. The most important thing was the treasure. Not everyone could have that kind of thing. His luck is not good enough, and he barely managed to take a look, but he just so happened to want it for himself, and ended up suffering a backlash. "

I nodded before asking in wonder, "But … What does that have to do with me? "

Xia Xin said, "When your foster-grandpa picked you up that day, he happened to see something bad happen to him. I don't know what you went through, but in short, you are somehow connected to the Master Xue. If there is someone in the world who can find the Master Xue, then it must be you. "

When I heard this, I immediately understood. "The thing in the temple wanted to kill me, but didn't want me to find the Master Xue? You don't want to be killed by that treasure? "

Xia Xin nodded his head, "If you don't believe me, you can ask your foster-grandpa.

I said, "I have seen my foster-grandpa, but he never speaks."

Xia Xin's expression suddenly became strange. She came close to me and whispered, "That's because someone had done something to your foster-grandpa's corpse."
