Chapter 177 Disappear! The coffin shop on the side street
Yu Xian grabbed my arm, shook her head violently, and said with a cry:
"I...I don't dare..."
"Don't worry, she has left. Just wait for me in the car. Remember! Don't go back to the clinic before I come back! I'll be back as soon as I go!"
After saying these words, I gently opened the car door and looked towards the dim street in the distance. A swaying figure was slowly disappearing into the night.
I hurriedly got out of the car and followed on tiptoe...
When I came to a street corner, I stopped and poked my head out slightly to take a look. I was surprised to find that the old lady had walked a long way away. She seemed to have suddenly quickened her pace, completely losing her previous staggering look!
I didn't dare to delay, so I quickly followed...
Walking through small streets and alleys, I felt like I had walked several kilometers, and the doubts in my heart became more and more serious. How could this be what a normal old lady should do?
After an unknown amount of time passed, the old lady's steps became smaller and smaller, and her speed finally slowed down, but I began to get nervous because I knew she was about to arrive "home".
Only then did I start to consciously observe the surrounding environment. I found that this was a quiet small street. On both sides of the street were small shops. It looked a bit like the old coffin street, and a bit like Gu Han's Traditional Chinese Medicine Store.
That little street.
"What is this place?"
I muttered. Although I was confused, I didn't have time to think too much. Seeing that the old lady was walking slower and slower, I also slowed down. But at this moment, the old lady suddenly paused and stopped.
At the door of a certain shop.
Only that shop in the whole street had a faint light on, as if the door was left open for her.
The old lady didn't even knock on the door, she opened the door and walked in. Then the lights went out...
I walked quickly and came to the shop. I looked up at the name of the shop and immediately frowned. It turned out to be a coffin shop.
"Lao Qi's coffin shop..."
I tiptoed to the door, raised my ears against the door panel, and heard a "click-click" sound coming from inside, like the sound of a saw...
Then there was the sound of walking, which became clearer and closer...
My heart became nervous, and I stood up and took a step back. Almost at the same time, the door of the coffin shop was pushed open with a bang, and a middle-aged man wearing a gray gown and a big beard walked out with a gloomy face.
He looked me up and down with wide eyes and said:
"What do you do?"
"I...I want to buy some paper money and yellow mounting paper. I just saw that your light was still on, but it went out in the blink of an eye, so...so I..."
I scratched my head and glanced into the coffin shop while explaining.
The bearded man looked at me again,
"Come in..."
I quickly nodded my thanks and followed him into the coffin shop. As soon as I entered the coffin shop, I smelled the smell of sawdust.
The bearded man turned on the light, walked into the counter, and asked calmly:
"How much does it cost for paper? How much does it cost for yellow mounting paper?"
I hesitated for a moment and replied:
"What do you mean by a few knives? Anyway, let's get a bunch of each..."
"How many incense candles?"
"That's not necessary, I have candles at home..."
When the bearded man heard this, an imperceptible smile appeared on his lips, and then he began to prepare things for me.
I took the opportunity to glance around and found that there was nothing special about this coffin shop. It was an area of several feet square and could be seen at a glance. Except for some funeral supplies, there was nothing else.
"It's strange, I just watched the old lady walk in, and then she disappeared..."
I moved my steps unconsciously, and suddenly I felt a rustle on the soles of my feet. When I looked down, I saw a layer of sawdust scattered on the ground, and some small black particles...
I raised my head and glanced at the bearded man. He was still bending behind the counter, preparing paper money and yellow mounting paper.
So I quickly squatted down and picked up a black particle. Just as I was about to take a closer look, I suddenly discovered that the lower half of the counter in front of me was hollow. At this time, a face suddenly came over from below and talked to me.
Eyes facing each other.
My heart thumped and I almost sat on the ground.
"What are you doing?!"
The bearded man stared at me and asked calmly.
"It's nothing. I see there are all sawdust here. Did you build the coffins yourself?"
"snort!"
The bearded man snorted coldly and handed me a plastic bag.
"I'm closing the door, please leave quickly!"
I shrugged awkwardly, dropped the money and turned around to leave.
After coming out of the coffin shop, I quickened my pace and walked towards the street. Halfway there, I couldn't help but look back and found that the light in the coffin shop had gone out, but there seemed to be a figure standing at the door...
I quickly looked away, hailed a taxi and left.
Sitting in the taxi, I carefully opened my palm and brought the small black particle to my eyes. My brows immediately furrowed.
It turned out to be an insect. It twisted its body and seemed to be still alive, and there was still a trace of corpse energy on it. I had seen this thing in the ancient books given by Master. It was a corpse insect, a specialized species.
Insects that live on corpses.
Scale insects survive by sucking corpse gas. Ordinary corpses and even ordinary walking corpses cannot satisfy the corpse gas that scale insects need, so its appearance can only mean that there are zombies in that coffin shop!
It seems that the old lady is really in the coffin shop, but where is she hiding...
Ten minutes later, I returned to Yu Xian's clinic. Her white car was still parked on the side of the road. I walked over and pulled the car door, only to find that it was locked. I suddenly thought of something and turned around to see,
The clinic door is ajar…
\"Holy shit!\"
An ominous premonition came over me, and I hurried into the clinic. Just as I was about to turn on the light, there was a sudden "bang" sound behind me, and the door of the clinic closed on its own!
At the same time, I saw a man hanging on the wall directly opposite...
