Chapter 492: Villa of Horrors!

Zhou Ze walked over and squatted down. He examined the wound on the corpse.

“Tsk. Tsk. It looks like it was bitten to death by a zombie.”

Although Little Loli’s verbal skills were outstanding, that was only because her tongue skills were good. She wouldn’t use teeth.

“Those two corpses had the same wound?” Zhou Ze asked.

“Yes.” Zhang Yanfeng gave an affirmative answer.

“Boss, there might be relatives of yours around here.” Lawyer An lit a cigarette and continued, “Should we call them out for a gathering? Ask them if they have seen Lin Ke?”

Zhou Ze did not respond to Lawyer An’s teasing. Instead, he used his fingernails to dig open the wound on the neck of the corpse. White hair grew inside the wound. It was like a densely packed fungus.

“This is…” Lawyer An was a little surprised.

“These three bodies will be burned before we leave. We can’t leave them here. It’s not time yet. When the white hair on the inside reaches the outer layer of the skin, they will turn into zombies.”

“Zombies?”

Zhang Yanfeng was tempted to take out a recording pen or notebook and make some small notes. These were points that he had never encountered in the police academy and his years of experience in handling cases. Now, he felt just like when he had first become a criminal police officer and properly learned how to be a ghost errand boy.

“I know that it is possible to turn into a zombie after being bitten by one, but this grows white hair directly from the wound…” Lawyer An scratched his head.

“Directly turning into a white-haired zombie means that the zombie that bit them to death is of a very high level. It’s not an ordinary zombie, or even…” Zhou Ze turned around and glanced at Yingying, who was still looking around to learn about decorating, “It’s much older than Yingying.”

“Is it that scary?” Lawyer An smiled embarrassedly.

“Yes, so do you still want me to call my relative out now? I’ll tell you in advance that the one in my body has just come out and caused a ruckus. He’ll be in hibernation for a while now, so I can’t wake him up. When the time comes, perhaps that relative will consider that Yingying and I are his kin and let us off. As for the two of you… Hehe.”

“Visiting relatives is the most troublesome thing, right? I hated visiting relatives the most when I was alive in my previous life.”

Lawyer An stood up and handed Zhou Ze a cigarette. Zhou Ze clapped his hands and said, “This first floor is almost done. Let’s go up and take a look.”

The four of them went up the stairs to the second floor. As expected, there were two corpses on the second floor. One was a woman in a suit and the other was a man. He looked a little old.

Unfortunately, the Old Priest was not here. He had already embarked on the journey of sending the tanned girl back to the bookstore. If he were here, he would be able to recognize at a glance that this was his old human trafficker brother who used to brag and drink with him.

The female corpse was about forty years old, and her death was very tragic. To be more precise, the two corpses were both very tragic.

“The female corpse has a large area of glass marks on her body. It should be from the chandelier that was originally above her head. Both of the corpses have marks of being bound and the male corpse’s neck position…” Zhang Yanfeng made a cross gesture. A “Ka” sound came out of his mouth.

“Oh, it feels a little familiar.” Zhou Ze smiled. Lawyer An also smiled. Old Zhang wanted to laugh, but he held it in. It was wrong to laugh at the scene of a murder. It was disrespectful to the dead. However, they had seen too many corpses. How could they respect another? Traces of Little Loli were found on the two corpses. If nothing went wrong, they would have been killed by Little Loli’s tongue. Didn’t they enter the mountain again just to find the Little Loli?

Otherwise, everyone would have brought the little tanned girl back to Tong City to plant vegetables. They wouldn’t have had the time to wander around this ravine.

Now, at least, it proved that everyone was searching in the right direction. Little Loli had once stayed here and even killed someone.

“She didn’t kill the person on the first floor. She killed the person on the second floor. What does this mean?” Lawyer An said, “Maybe Little Loli touched that zombie?”

“There’s still one more floor. Let’s go up and take a look.”

Zhou Ze held onto the stairs and walked up. The space above was simpler. There was a large living room and a bathroom bedroom. The entrance of the stairs faced the opposite direction of a door to a study. It was very simple and very formal. There were no corpses here, and it was quite clean.

However, the door to the study was tightly shut, giving off a great sense of oppression. It was as if there was no silver in this place, telling you that there must be something behind the door.

Zhang Yanfeng tried to push the door open but found that the door was locked. Zhou Ze signaled Old Zhang to move aside and walked over. He used his nails to pierce the lock. The door to the study slowly opened by itself.

The furnishings in the study were also very simple. The floor was covered in red carpet. A desk, a rocking chair, bookshelves with curved walls surrounded the four sides. The bookshelves were piled with books.

Surprisingly, there seemed to be a person sitting on the rocking chair. From the doorway, one could see a white-haired old man sitting with his back to the rocking chair.

It was as if the old man had been sitting there waiting for them to come in. The windows of the study were open. The mountain breeze kept blowing in, and the rocking chair kept rocking gently. It was similar to the feeling of a prophet in a western movie.

Zhou Ze couldn’t sense an aura from the old man. There were two explanations: The old man was either extremely strong or he was a dead man. Zhou Ze remembered how Zhang Yanfeng had scared off the old man in sunglasses in front of the convenience store.

Zhou Ze didn’t hesitate while the three people around him were still hesitating. He said, “Newspaper!”

A cloud of black mist shot out from Zhou Ze’s five fingernails. It directly rushed toward the rocking chair. With a crisp crack, the rocking chair shattered. The old man on it fell down. He lay on the ground, motionless.

“Huh…”

It was a dead man.

“Huh…”

Lawyer An and the others heaved a sigh of relief. They were shocked by what they saw when they pushed the door open.

“Check the surroundings and see if there are any other wires…”

“Boss, there’s someone at the window!” Bai Yingying pointed at the window on the west side of the study and shouted. Zhou Ze looked over and found that there was indeed a figure flashing by the window!

This time, Lawyer An reacted the fastest. He rushed to the window and lifted the curtains. When Zhou Ze and Zhang Yanfeng came over, they couldn’t see anything. “I saw him.” Lawyer An said, “He was just by the window. When I ran over, he had already run to the door. He ran outside. It was too dark, so I couldn’t see clearly.”

Zhou Ze nodded. Lawyer An’s movements were very fast. It took him only a few seconds to go from the door to the window, but that person could jump down from the third floor and run out of the door. His speed and skill definitely exceeded the scope of an ordinary person.

“I’m not sure about one thing. That guy ran very smoothly.” Lawyer An frowned and continued, “It was as smooth as floating.”

“Floating?” Zhang Yanfeng wanted to take out his notebook again to record notes.

“If he’s floating, he should be able to drift down from the third floor to the door at a very fast speed. Could it be a ghost with clothes on? This ghost is so chaotic in the middle of the night though…” Before Zhou Ze could finish his sentence, he suddenly heard a noise behind him.

The three men who were leaning against the window immediately turned around. The white-haired old man, who had been lying motionless on the ground earlier, was standing up. He was baring his fangs and brandishing his claws!

Was this a f*cking fake corpse?!

The sudden movement of the old man’s corpse, coupled with the scene when he opened the study door earlier, made Zhou Ze’s heart thump. As a ghost messenger, he found the thrill of watching a horror movie when he was a normal person. Zhou Ze wanted to make a move, but he didn’t make it because Yingying, who was the nearest to the old man who had suddenly risen, reacted first.

“Oh! You scared me!” Usually, when a girl is faced with this situation, they would faint from fright. The stronger ones would be so frightened that their bodies trembled. However, Yingying was crying and she subconsciously punched him!

“Bang!”

Zhou Ze believed that Yingying was scared now. He was also scared. Despite that, Yingying’s punch still blew the old man’s head off. Yes, it blew it off.

The headless old man was still swaying as if he was dancing disco.

“What on earth is it?!” Lawyer An stepped forward and kicked the headless old man.

“Bang!” The old man was kicked down. His abdomen directly caved in when he fell. A furry thing crawled out.

“Come here!”

Lawyer An’s left hand instantly turned into a skeletal hand and grabbed it. The thing was caught in his hand. It was a little like a cat, but it was much bigger than a cat. It had a tail. It looked like a fox, but it was not a fox. In short, it was a very strange-looking thing. There was a gray light flashing in its eyes. It looked like it had gone mad. Even though it was caught, it was still struggling.

It turned out that the inside of the old man’s body was actually empty. Previously, it could not be seen because there were clothes wrapped around the old man’s body. Now, it could be seen that the entire inside of the old man’s body was hollowed out.

So, when this thing moved around inside the old man’s body, it caused the old man’s body to dance.

“Boss, do you know what this thing is?” Lawyer An asked Zhou Ze.

“How would I know? A fox doesn’t look like a fox, and a cat doesn’t look like a cat.” Zhou Ze shook his head.

“I know.” Zhang Yanfeng suddenly said, “I grew up in the countryside. When I was young, there was this thing by the river in the fields. It was called ‘Cha’!”

“Cha?” Zhou Ze repeated the name. Then, he looked at Zhang Yanfeng, “Old Zhang, did you have a little friend in the countryside when you were young…”

“Little friend?”

“Yes, his name was Leap Earth.”
