Chapter 137 I died, my chest pierced with incense sticks.
Chapter Seven
"On the last day of September, I checked the month's sales figures, and they were 50% higher than the previous month!"
"Under my management, Tianmen Funeral Home has finally gotten on the right track, which makes me very proud."
"The only thing that bothered me during this period was Xiaobai's master, Zhong Cai."
"He's been gone for over half a month now, and there's been no news of him. Xiaobai has become even more withdrawn because of this. I've even seen him standing at the entrance of the funeral home a few times, as if he wanted to go out."
I haven't been able to get in touch with Zhong Cai.
"Looking at Xiaobai, I plan to go see Qi Ning tomorrow and talk about this matter to see if he can help me find Zhong Cai."
"But to my surprise, I was woken up by a dog barking that very night."
"That's the barking of the black dog that Qi Hui, the night shift gatekeeper at the East Gate, keeps. But why is it barking so fiercely?"
I quietly got out of bed, closed the window, and didn't let any noise disturb Xiaobai's sleep.
"After leaving the bedroom, I looked out the office window and saw Qi Hui leading Hei Zi towards the dormitory building. I could vaguely hear some noisy screams coming from inside the dormitory building."
"Startled, I prepared to rush over and instinctively grabbed the Seven Star Peach Wood Sword. With the sword in hand, my courage grew a bit."
"When I came downstairs, Qi Hui had already rushed into the dormitory building with Hei Zi. As we got closer, the noisy screams became clearer."
"I knew something was wrong, so I didn't dare to delay and rushed over."
"But as soon as I got to the dormitory building entrance, I sensed a chilling aura."
"I paused, and just as I was hesitating whether to go back and get the talisman and incense, something was thrown down the stairwell and slammed hard onto the ground."
"I saw it clearly now, it was Heizi, Heizi with his belly cut open!"
Just then, a pair of eerie green eyes peeked out from the stairwell and looked at me.
"Then came the second couple, and the third couple."
"My palms were sweating, and as I was about to back away, the hairs on my neck suddenly stood on end."
He turned around and thrust the Seven Star Peach Wood Sword behind him, piercing through an oncoming figure who then hung on the sword.
"I didn't have time to do anything else because the figures in the stairwell were already on all fours, rushing towards me."
"In the face of life and death, I shook off the strange corpse on the sword and bit my palm."
"Blood flowed from the hilt into the blade, and as those four-legged figures pounced on me, a red light appeared in my hand."
"With a swing of his arm, a crimson shadow was left in the dormitory building at night. I only felt a slight hesitation before the sword had already sliced through half of the four-legged figure's body."
"That four-legged crawling man was cleaved in two by my sword!"
"The two corpses that fell to the ground were still hissing and emitting black fumes."
"After easily taking one down, I didn't relax, because people were still pouring out of the stairwell."
"In the brief moment of self-defense, I saw the severed limbs that the figures behind me were carrying in their mouths, and I knew where those limbs came from."
"The Seven Star Peach Wood Sword is very strong, but I, who wield it, am not strong."
"I couldn't keep up with everything, and after killing four more, I was attacked from behind by a figure."
"A sharp pain shot through my shoulder. I wanted to plunge my sword into the head of the figure on my shoulder, but my arm was already being bitten by another figure."
"In just a short while, my body was covered with 'people'."
"Emerald green eyes flickered before my eyes, my vision blurred, and my strength vanished."
"I am dead."
……
The contents of the book shocked Chen Miao, and also left him very puzzled.
What exactly are those things in the dormitory building?
What was it about the dormitory building that attracted them?
Why are they at the funeral home again?
The funeral home's cold storage has never been filled up, and the number doesn't match up at all, so it's impossible that it came out of the cold storage.
But if these things didn't come from cold storage, where did they come from?
Chen Miao couldn't understand it, and the book didn't give any hints except for a time!
The current date is September 20th, and the last day of the month is the 30th, which is ten days from now. Could something have happened in these ten days that led to this?
No, the chapter content was triggered now, which means it refers to something happening now and is unrelated to what will happen later!
However, the book did not mention any useful information, so Chen Miao could not make a judgment.
After racking his brains without success, Chen Miao decided to introduce some variables into the book's content.
He immediately opened the work group of Tianmen Funeral Home.
"Chen Miao: @Everyone, the dormitory building will be repainted and renovated at the end of the month. The dormitory building will be unavailable for accommodation on the 29th, 30th and October 10.1st. Please be prepared."
After sending the message, Chen Miao didn't check the "received" reply in the group chat, but instead looked back at the contents of the book.
Sure enough, the content changed.
"..."
"That night, I was awakened by Kuroko's cries. Just as I was about to close the window, I heard Kuroko scream in agony."
Startled, I didn't care about anything else and hurriedly opened the window to look outside. At the east gate guard post, two figures on all fours were lying on top of Hei Zi and Qi Hui, rising and falling continuously.
"By the light from the guard post at the East Gate, I saw the blood that had flowed all over the ground. Just as I was shocked, I suddenly felt a lot of malice coming from below."
Looking down, I saw dozens of pairs of eerie green eyes hidden in the green belt next to the first floor.
Before I could react, the owner of those eyes had already pounced out, landed on the wall, and rushed towards the second floor.
I quickly closed the window, took out the Seven Star Peach Wood Sword, and prepared to leave with the startled Xiaobai.
"But I was too slow. The first one had already broken through the window and rushed in."
"As I rushed over, I told Xiaobai to run faster."
"Little White listened to me and ran towards the door, but when I cut down one and looked towards the door, I felt a chill in my heart."
"There's more outside!"
"After Xiaobai was knocked aside by those things, they all rushed towards me."
"I bit my palm to activate the Seven Star Peach Wood Sword, and fought while retreating."
"When I grabbed a handful of peach wood shavings and threw them, those things were instantly stopped in their tracks, and a black aura emanated from their bodies."
"I understood, and after sprinkling out another handful, I splashed out the remaining black dog blood."
"The hissing sound is incessant; these things are indeed zombies!"
"I didn't have time to think, and I rushed toward the box where the talismans were placed. There were dozens of talismans inside."
"But just when I was only one step away from the talisman box, a wave of malice so strong that it made my heart stop struck me."
"I turned my head and saw a scene that I will never forget."
"A man who looked no different from a normal person, but whose eyes were green, was floating outside the window."
He raised a hand, and my body slid uncontrollably toward him.
"When my neck was gripped, the peach charm shattered, but it did not serve its intended purpose."
"My blood uncontrollably surged from my eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, turning into a blood mist that rushed into that person's mouth."
"When I thought I was going to die, that thing let go of me and let me fall to the ground."
"I watched as he reached out again and took Little White into his hand."
"I thought Xiaobai would follow in my footsteps, but he didn't attack Xiaobai. Instead, he took Xiaobai and left."
"The other figures crawled out of my room one by one, and just as I was struggling to take out my phone to make a call, the last remaining zombie appeared in front of me."
"It was holding a bundle of incense sticks in its hand!"
"A hand with sharp fingernails pierced my chest, tearing out my withered heart; the incense stick was brutally inserted into my chest."
"I died, my chest was filled with incense sticks."
