Chapter 19 Blood-colored Vine
Facing this strange laughter, Wu Yixuan was startled. He quickly turned around, sweeping his gaze across the entire morgue.
“Who’s there?”
The old man’s voice was cold and steady.
But the morgue was deathly silent. Only the monster’s corpse lay quietly on the ground, and the blood-colored vines were still slowly wriggling, making “rustling” sounds in the darkness.
Wu Yixuan did not dare to neglect. With his back to the morgue door, he stared intently at every corner of the morgue.
But a long time passed, and there was still no sound in the morgue, except for the strange rustling of the vines.
Wu Yixuan took out another Divine Fire Talisman and threw it at the corpse on the ground.
“Boom!”
The flames of the explosion could not illuminate the morgue brightly.
It could only barely illuminate Wu Yixuan’s solemn and serious face.
Moreover, even the raging fire could not dispel the cold air inside the morgue.
“Hee hee hee…”
The laughter, which came from an unknown source, sounded again. It seemed to come from the depths of hell, making one’s hair stand on end, and it seemed to be mocking Wu Yixuan’s powerlessness.
Wu Yixuan clenched the peachwood sword in his hand, his sharp gaze trying to find the direction of the sound.
“Come out!”
The old man shouted sternly.
The laughter stopped abruptly, and the rustling of the vines also completely disappeared.
The entire morgue fell into deathly silence. But in the next second, the lights in the morgue, which had completely gone out, flickered a few times. In this short second, Wu Yixuan finally found the source of the sound.
It was a strange girl with sutures all over her body and a wide grin.
As the lights flickered, her figure also flickered, and with each flicker, she moved a few meters closer to Wu Yixuan.
When she was close to him, the lights in the morgue went out again, and even the fire on the ground disappeared. The entire world was plunged into darkness.
“Putting on a show!”
Wu Yixuan snorted coldly, then took out another talisman from his pocket and stuck it on the peachwood sword. The talisman completely ignited the peachwood sword, and its faint light illuminated a small area around him.
However, the moment the light appeared, he saw a scalp-numbing scene.
The corpses in the morgue had all sat up, their hollow eyes, like those of zombies, staring directly at him.
Wu Yixuan also found that these corpses were also covered in those blood-colored vines, which wriggled on the surface of the corpses like living creatures.
And although these corpses’ movements were stiff, their speed was extremely fast. In no time, they had all surrounded him.
“What exactly are these vines?”
Wu Yixuan was shocked. He raised his peachwood sword and leaned against the wall, avoiding an attack from the front and back.
“Hee hee hee…”
The strange voice sounded again, but this time, it seemed to come from the mouths of all the corpses at the same time.
“Such meager skill dares to show off in front of an expert!”
Wu Yixuan gritted his teeth and quickly swung his peachwood sword, splitting one of the approaching corpses in half.
However, the split corpse did not fall. Instead, it continued to pounce on him. A large number of blood-colored vines poured out of the broken body, attacking him like tentacles.
“What the hell is this thing?!”
Having been a ghost exorcist for so many years, this was the first time Wu Yixuan had encountered such a strange plant.
No, it could no longer be called a plant; it would be more appropriate to call it an animal.
“Heaven and Earth Unbounded, Universe Borrowing Method, Zhenlei Talisman, break for me!”
The talisman burned in the air, quickly turning into dazzling lightning that rushed towards the corpses. The violent lightning repelled all the corpses.
But when the lightning disappeared, they pounced again.
“Damn it…”
Wu Yixuan was extremely anxious at this moment. He also knew that this situation could not continue.
After fending off the corpses on the side, he quickly looked around for a way to escape.
Suddenly, his gaze fell on a small door in the corner of the morgue.
This was the auxiliary exit of the morgue, rarely used. And from the look of the lock, it should not be locked.
Therefore, he quickly swung his peachwood sword to push back the corpses around him, and then rushed towards that small door.
However, just as he rushed to the small door and reached out to open it, he realized that the world outside… was no different from the morgue he was in.
Even more numerous corpses had cast their gazes upon him.
“Hee hee hee…”
The strange laughter sounded again, as if mocking Wu Yixuan’s futile struggle.
Seeing this, Wu Yixuan cursed inwardly, then slammed the door shut.
He quickly turned around, leaning against the small door, facing the approaching corpses, ready to fight to the death.
However, when he turned around, a large number of blood-colored vines suddenly appeared on the wall behind him and firmly grasped his limbs.
The stinging pain in his arms and the gradual loss of consciousness made Wu Yixuan feel a trace of despair.
He tried to struggle, but as time went by, his strength weakened, and he quickly lost consciousness.
In the last moment before losing consciousness, Wu Yixuan saw a faint light from a Lantern suddenly appear in the darkness.
A girl in a red wedding dress appeared in the morgue.
——————
On the other side, Qin Liu slept soundly in Liu Haoyu’s embrace.
She began to dream.
In her hazy dream, she stood in a freezing morgue, where a strong, pungent smell of decay wafted all around.
She opened her eyes, her hollow, lifeless eyes scanning the surroundings.
Wu Yixuan was firmly fixed to the wall by the blood-colored vines, and the corpses in the morgue were like ferocious beasts, letting out low growls.
The “hee hee” sound from the darkness also stopped abruptly.
Qin Liu’s gaze fell on the small door of the morgue. The miasma that had originally occupied that place fled in a panic at a speed like seeing a ghost.
At this speed, Qin Liu only frowned slightly.
Compared to chasing after this guy, the more important thing now was to go and save the person.
She glanced around at the corpses in the morgue.
These corpses, which had originally been lifeless and only cared about flesh and blood, now revealed expressions of terror and despair.
“You guys… aren’t you going to sleep yet?”
Qin Liu’s indifferent voice echoed in the morgue. The fear from the depths of her soul made these corpses freeze in place, unable to move.
“Or do you need me to help you sleep?”
As soon as she said this, the corpses present let out a unified, mournful howl, and then one by one, they all climbed onto the gurneys, burying their heads.
Qin Liu looked at these corpses with her lifeless eyes, then raised the lantern high.
Soon, the souls of these trembling corpses were all drawn into the lantern.
The blood-colored vines that were wrapped around them, having lost their nutrients, twitched a few times on the ground before completely becoming still.
