Chapter 5: Boss Lady

Lu Youyi: "......"

After Jiang Luo finished his sentence, Lu Youyi gave an uncontrollable jolt, his scalp tingling as he rubbed the clothes of the person in front of him.

Clothes fabric rough and hard, after a careful smell, there is an inexplicable smell of mold, like in the rainy day smothered for a long time, with a seemingly earthy breath.

It's really not Jiang Luo.

Lu Youyi's cold sweat beaded on his face, wanting to let go of his hand, but afraid of disturbing this "person": "Ye Xun, there's really an extra thing between Jiang Luo and me."

The extra "man" in the middle of them didn't move and stood still, seemingly not understanding their conversation.

Ye Xun asks, "What is it?"

Lu Youyi is on the verge of tears, "I don't know, but it smells like a walker."

What's with the walkers here?

Ye Xun frowned and shoved a talisman into Jiang Luo's hand, "Stick it in the middle of the sky, at the Heavenly Court, and at the Sikong."

Jiang Luo : "Excuse me ...... these three places are?"

Ye Xun, "...... stick it in the center of its forehead."

Jiang Luo put the rabbit doll in his left hand to hold, free a hand to lift the hand to paste, he was ready to touch the horror of things, but surprisingly, he did not touch anything.

Jiang Luo froze for a moment, and his fingers went down, touching something sticky and cold, stiff and soft in texture, some kind of surging worm rolling underneath what he was stroking, like maggots.

Jiang Luo instantly withdrew his hand, he reacted instantly and said grimly, "It doesn't have a head."

He touched the flesh of the walker's neck.

He could have gone without saying what kind of bugs would grow on top of the rotting flesh.

Ye Xun grabbed Jiang Luo's arm and was about to go forward to deal with the zombie, but Jiang Luo raised his hand to stop him and calmly said, "Let's go turn on the lights first. Since it's following us and not doing anything, it's safe for now, so let's take it to the studio and turn on the lights first."

Jiang Luo was right, dealing with this kind of thing in the dark was not an advantage for them. The three of them maintained their original positions as they walked forward, Lu Youyi behind the walking corpse, still somewhat thankful, "Luckily it's you it's following."

Jiang Luo, alert for danger from behind, sniffed casually, "How do you know it's following me? It doesn't have a head, so what if it's facing you backwards and just grabbing me with its backhand?"

Lu Youyi's goosebumps exploded, "Crap, no kidding!"

The walker's tugging on Jiang Luo's clothes became heavier and heavier, and the scuffling sound of his footsteps became louder and louder, similar to the sound of a corpse being dragged along the ground. The group walked to the studio in fear, Ye Xun went to look for the switch, and a minute later, the blinding light suddenly came on.

Lu Youyi subconsciously blinked, and in the next moment, he saw the appearance of the corpse in front of him, and his head was indeed empty. Walking corpse wearing a blood-stained red prison clothes, skin bruises and corpse spots, his neck wound is hideous, flesh and blood turned out, there are still traces of knife rust, as well as some crawling maggots.

Jiang Luo had already run a few meters away, and found a pack of wet wipes to wipe his hands vigorously, staring expressionlessly at the corpse. Because the walking corpse grabbed his clothes is really big force, he ran away, the clothes were also torn down part of the, about to cover the waist.

The visual effect of the walking corpses is horrifying, Lu Youyi said in shock, "There are really fucking moving corpses ......"

Before the words left his mouth, he looked down and saw the walker's feet.

The toes were pointing in his direction.

Lu Youyi screamed out, "Crap ahhhhhhh!!!"

The walker actually did face him backwards the whole way!

Lu Youyi screamed, kicked the corpse, and ran towards Jiang Luo and Ye Xun in a panic. The zombie stumbled a step, turned around to face them, and suddenly ran and rushed forward.

Three people turned and ran, Ye Xun calm, watching Jiang Luo running still do not forget to wipe their hands, comforted: "experts have studied, maggots are not dirty, maggots in the devouring of rotting meat can be pulled out of the salt containing antiseptic properties, there are antibiotics in the body and to enhance immunity, in fact, is a good worm."

Jiang Luo fake laughed, "Big brother, if you don't do it, you can taste the maggots yourself."

Ye Xun paused in his tracks and pulled a black net from the mouth of the doll Jiang Luo was holding, "Lu Youyi!"

Lu Youyi pulled Jiang Luo and led the headless corpse to run in another direction, "Ye Xun, hurry up, this thing is so fast, I can't hold out much longer!"

He was so anxious that his spittle flew without taking a break, Jiang Luo was about to be dragged up by him, and Jiang Luo shouted, "Lu Youyi, don't you have any means to deal with this thing?"

Lu Youyi replied even louder, "Jiang Luo, are you out of your mind! Even though you're the bottom of the class, the second-to-last is me!"

Jiang Luo: "......"

Lu Youyi remembered Jiang Luo's previous praise and trust in him, his heart was a bit weak, the more weak his voice became louder, like a cannonball, "Besides, I've only heard of walkers before, I've never seen one!"

Jiang Luo : "...... You don't say."

He accelerated fiercely and rushed ahead of Lu Youyi.

Lu Youyi was dumbfounded, "Grass!"

The headless corpse closely chased after him, his speed was very fast, and in a matter of moments, he was only half a meter away from Lu Youyi. Lu Youyi gritted his teeth and suddenly turned around and roared, "I'll fight you!"

However, the headless body overtook him and went after Jiang Luo with a clear goal in mind.

Lu Youyi is full of questions.

Did happiness come so suddenly?

Jiang Luo also saw the scene and his temples jutted, "Why does it have to chase me?"

The rapid running made his breathing gradually short, the original owner neglected to exercise, being able to bring up such a fast speed to overtake Lu Youyi was already an unbelievable thing. Jiang Luo felt his breath become hot and his throat tingled as he pressed the tip of his tongue against his palate, trying to keep his breathing even.

Ye Xun had already used the pillar to rip the black net away and shouted, "Jiang Luo, run back!"

Jiang Luo turned and ran towards him with the walkers.

The walkers don't get tired, they get faster and faster, and the rush makes the smell of rot on their bodies permeate the entire stairway and workroom. Jiang Luo could hear his own heavy snorting and heart beating, his legs were already aching, and he was on the verge of reaching his limit.

He looked up at the black net not far above his head, it would take time for the black net to fall, the distance between the walker and him was already less than three meters, even if the black net fell, there was a high probability that it would not be able to cover the walker.

He'd have to be a little faster, and set aside the time for the black net to land.

The taste of blood spread from his throat to his mouth, and Jiang Luo was a bit helpless about his physical fitness. He took a deep breath and used the last of his strength to pick up speed, sprinting across the black mesh.

Almost as soon as he passed through, the black net was yanked down by Ye Xun, covering the headless walker head-on.

The headless body struggled, the skin was immediately burned by the black net out of the deep black scorch marks, the smell of rotting flesh was roasted and fragrant and pungent, Lu Youyi dry heaving a few times, covering his nose to Jiang Luo handed a bottle of water.

Jiang Luo stood for a while with his legs shaking and holding onto the wall, and then sat down close to the workbench. His breath was still a little intense, his black hair stuck to his neck and face, woefully out of shape, not caring about the unpleasant scent of the air, he panted heavily, and only after a long time did he have the strength to unscrew the cap of the bottle and take a sip of water, "What's this black net?"

"The rope soaked in black dog's blood," Lu Youyi stuffed two balls of paper to plug his nostrils and squatted beside the black netting to study the walking corpse, "There should also be a layer of talisman wrapped inside."

Ye Xun's black net entangled the headless body, and the headless body did not move as if it was dead. Lu Youyi looked at it for a long time, "Ye Xun, why do you think it recognized Jiang Luo and chased after him?"

Ye Xun shook his head, "I don't know."

Jiang Luo coughed a few times, squeezing his throat less comfortably, and said, "It's wearing a prison uniform, isn't it?"

Lu Youyi said, "Yeah."

"Looking at the style of this prison uniform, this corpse should have been dead for a few hundred years," Jiang Luo said affirmatively as he surveyed the walking corpse, "Since it's an ancient person, it should have long hair on its head as well, and out of the three of us, I have the longest hair, so it's about to recognize my head as its head."

Lu Youyi and Ye Xun came to a realization, and Lu Youyi said, "That makes sense."

"The sound of the leather ball we heard earlier on the stairs should have been its head," Jiang Luo took another sip of water, "I just don't know why its head would be separate from its body."

Ye Xun was thoughtful and suddenly said, "The three girls who disappeared also had long hair."

Lu Youyi clenched his fists, "Damn it! It must have been this walking corpse that killed them by recognizing their heads as its own."

Jiang Luo doesn't think so.

If it really was a headless body that killed the three girls, even if it took the girls' heads, then why would the bodies be nowhere to be found?

What's more, the scene of the room on the day of the disappearance was clean and tidy, without a trace of blood, so it's hard to believe that the girls would voluntarily follow the headless body.

But he didn't refute Lu Youyi's words, he just shrugged and got down from the table, "Wanna check out where the other stream of smoke is wafting off to?"

It's natural to go.

On the road, Lu Youyi was dragging a black net with rough movements, he turned his head to Jiang Luo in disgust, "Jiang Luo, do you want to go work out with me after you go back to school? Your physical fitness is too poor." You can't even run away for long if you are being chased by a ghost.

Jiang Luo thought about how hard it was just after running and had palpitations, "Well, I really should work out more."

The incense in Ye Xun's hand was two-thirds burned, the ashes falling onto the rice, the smoke still split into two strands, one pointing towards the captured headless walker behind them, and one leading them to the door of an unfamiliar room.

Jiang Luo went up and knocked on the door, knocked twice repeatedly, no one answered inside the door, he simply pushed open the door, cigarettes floated straight in, scurried to the bottom of the bed.

There was no sign of anyone in the room either.

The three men cautiously surrounded the bed, Ye Xun placed the incense on the floor beside the bed, reclaimed the rabbit doll in Jiang Luo's hand, and said in a cold voice, "Get out."

There was a sudden sound of a ball rolling under the bed, and a head rolled out from the end of the bed, black hair entwined around this head, almost like a ball of overgrown hair.

Ye Xun didn't move a muscle, his head rolled itself to Jiang Luo's feet, revealing an eye from his hair, "Little friend, your hair is really flowing and shiny, can you tell me how you take care of your hair?"

Lu Youyi gave a cry, stepped forward and grabbed the head, saying viciously, "I think your hair is not bad either!"

The head let out a piercing scream, "Don't yank me like that, I'll go bald! I'll go bald!"

Lu Youyi shivered in fear, unable to maintain his ferocious smile, and almost let go of his hand, "Crap you don't scream!"

The head whimpered, "Deadbeat, don't yank people's hair."

Lu Youyi winced in disgust and laid the head on the bed as the three men stared intently at the head from three sides, "Say, why are you at Hotel 129."

The head bounced twice, shaking his hair behind his head, revealing a greenish, miserable face, and said, "Little Sheng's name is Ning Xiu, and he used to be a scholar. A long time ago, Little Sheng died on the execution ground after being beheaded for peeping at the official's daughter bathing."

Said the head sobbed twice, "I died a shameful death, family members are not willing to collect the body of the little life, people die without a whole body and how to enter the grave? I walked around with my head in my arms, and this used to be a tailor's store, so I came here, wanting the tailor to sew my head on."

Ye Xun : "The slaughterhouse next door did seem to be a torture chamber a long time ago."

There will be a tailor's store around the execution ground, because in the past, people were concerned about leaving a whole body, the family of the beheaded prisoner will usually transport the body to the tailor's store, so that the tailor will sew on the head. If there is no family to collect the body, wait until the night, the body will hold their own head to find the tailor sewing on the head and body.

The head said, "But the tailor always closes the door before dark, and I couldn't find anyone to sew my head on, so I waited and waited and waited. When I waited until the month before last, I stumbled upon the proprietress here, who was also a tailor, and so every night at midnight I came to her room to find her and try to get her to sew my head on."

Lu Youyi asked with a mischievous look, "Sewing your head is sewing your head, why are you killing people."

The head's eyes widened and he said angrily, "Little friend don't slander people out of thin air, when did Little Life kill anyone?"

Lu Youyi froze for a moment and said suspiciously, "The three girls who disappeared in this hotel, didn't you kill them?"

The head bounced twice in exasperation and exclaimed, "Little doll, don't you see that I'm good-tempered and defile people's blue and white!"

Jiang Luo doubled his hands around his chest and stroked his chin, the t-shirt torn on the left side of the hem revealed a palm-sized piece of waist skin. Glistening white like jade, flooded with smooth coldness, this posture of his inadvertently tugged the clothes upwards, the value of windy beauty soared. Jiang Luo curled his lips and smiled, "Scholar, do you come to this room every night to look for the boss's wife?"

The scholar looked at him dumbfounded, he was already a lustful person, this moment was even more so as two flushes of red dyed on his green face, "Yes, little student comes here every night to look for the boss's wife."

Jiang Luo said, "But the boss's wife doesn't seem to live here."

The head said in an inscrutable manner, "Little friend, you don't know. The male and female owners of this store had gone through many quarrels a month ago, and the mistress's temper became more and more strange, so they lived in separate rooms. The mistress lives in this room, and I have seen her threading a needle in mending her body, not realizing that whenever I come to look for her in the middle of the night, she is always not here."

Ye Xun caught the point, "Mending your own body?"

The head said with deep emotion, "Yes, what an excellent seamstress she is, she will definitely be able to sew my head and my body together properly." But after looking at the body in the black net, the head didn't hold back a pained expression, "But once I see my body, I don't want to be sewn together with it."

Jiang Luo laughed and turned his head to Ye Xun and Lu Youyi, "You guys say, a boss lady who would thread a needle to mend her body late at night, and who doesn't sleep in the middle of the night, where would she go?"

Ye Xun frowned in thought for a moment and tossed the heads into the black net, allowing Lu Youyi to tug them back into the hallway and dial his boss.

The electricity used for the landline is on a separate circuit and will not affect its use regardless of the 129 Hotel's power outage.

The phone beeped for a while, and the boss's sleepy voice came out, "Hello?"

Ye Xun asked, "Where's the boss's wife."

The boss instantly sobered up and carefully asked, "What's wrong, Mr. Ye? My wife is sleeping with my mom with the baby in her arms."

"Isn't her room in 102?"

"Yes, she quarreled with me and moved to 102 to live," the boss smiled bitterly, "probably because my business is getting worse and worse, she has become much more grumpy, and she doesn't know where to run away in the middle of the day all day long, and I see her once in a while, with her makeup painted more and more thickly ...... but she couldn't let go of the child, every night will come back after the child sleeps, accompanied by the child to dawn and then disappeared, I want to have a good chat with her have no time."

The house where the boss's family lived was just across the street from their building. The more Ye Xun heard, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he made a snap decision, "Let's go over there now."

The group went there in the dark, the incense having burned out by the time they reached the opposite building. Ye Xun sighed and placed the rice bowl in the corner, and when he went upstairs, he met his boss who was waiting at the door with his clothes draped over him.

The boss led them into the house, looked a little uneasy look, rubbed his hands and said, "That, you guys before that means ......"

"We're going to take a look at your wife," Ye Xun said, "She may have some problems."

The boss clenched his hands at once, he was silent for a long time and forced a smile, "How can that be."

"It can't be," the boss said to himself, crying and laughing, "You guys don't tease me."

Lu Youyi looked at him sympathetically, "Boss, if you want to take care of this sooner rather than later, prepare for the worst possible scenario."

The owner, his whole body disheveled, led them to a bedroom door and gently pushed it open.

A stiff shadow was standing at the end of the bed, looking straight at the sleeping grandmother and small child on the bed. A black mist filled the body of this figure, the very same black mist that Jiang Luo had once seen on the arm of the little child.

Lu Youyi exclaimed in a low voice, "What a thick Yin Qi!"

As soon as the door was pushed open, a coolness was violently towards Jiang Luo, Jiang Luo's eyes fell on the quilt, the quilt gathered up two quiet bumps, an old and a young sleep heavily, half not awake.

The figure standing at the end of the bed stiffened at the sound and turned his head toward them.

Jiang Luo's pupils tightened.

Only to see this hotel owner's wife body, everywhere is densely stitched, she seems to be a mass of broken meat, can only rely on the needle and thread to sew themselves up, features crooked, bloody, scary appearance.

Behind him, the boss sat on his butt, his legs trembling in terror, "Aaaaahhhh-!"
