Chapter 6: The Fierce Battle in the Morgue

  This startled me again, and I thought to myself that this corpse was going to turn into a zombie, but then I thought about it some more, and realized that since the woman's head had been chopped off, it was impossible for her to become a zombie.

  I rubbed my eyes hard and looked again, only to see the woman's corpse lying quietly on top, not moving at all.

  I sneered at myself in my heart, I must have been scared just now, and now everything looks blurry.

  I took a deep breath to calm myself down, turned my head and looked at the ice cabinet again. This time I really jumped up and drew out the black wooden sword from behind my back with one hand.

  I reacted so strongly because just as I turned around, the child who was originally lying on the ice cabinet had suddenly disappeared!

  In the blink of an eye, I didn't move, Captain Liu didn't move either. There was no third person in the morgue, so how could a dead infant less than five months old disappear?!

  Holding the ebony sword, cold sweat flowed down my forehead. I could even hear my own heartbeat pounding non-stop, only it was beating extremely fast due to tension, like a drumbeat that made my entire body tremble incessantly.

  The woman's skull was still in the icebox, but it seemed a bit different now. I took a closer look and found that the corners of her mouth were now eerily curled up, with a mysterious and sinister smile on her terrifying face.

  "What's leaking?"

  Just as I was drenched in cold sweat, staring intently at the woman's skull, Captain Liu, who was standing with his back to me at the door, suddenly spoke up and said something that made no sense.

  Hearing his voice, I turned around and suddenly shouted: "Not good!"

  All that can be seen is a bloody and indistinct thing lying on the back of Captain Liu, which is actually the dead baby that had gone missing.

  The dead baby was now tightly attached to his shoulder and climbing up, its small head raised, suddenly opening its mouth!

  Its head was no bigger than a fist, but now one mouth, that mouth actually split open half of the brain, revealing the white teeth inside.

  Those teeth were in two rows, not like human teeth at all, but triangular and sharp, looking so scary that they seemed to be the same as the teeth of a big shark in the sea, biting towards Captain Liu's neck!

  Liu Captain had no idea what was happening now, muttered a sound, and stretched out his hand to grab at his own neck.

  Just as the dead infant was about to bite Captain Liu's neck, I thought of rushing over to save him but it was already too late. This suddenly made me anxious and I let out a loud shout, raised my hand and threw the black wooden sword in my hand over.

  Ebony dispels evil, this sword was left by my master to protect myself, ordinary yin objects dare not resist hard, although I don't know what the dead fetus is, but this sword still works on it.

  The wooden sword had just been thrown away by me, and the dead fetus felt a sense of danger, letting out a cry like a small dog, and jumped to the ground with its body resembling a large gecko, tightly clinging to the ground, staring at me with a pair of eyes that were surprisingly green!

  All this happened in the blink of an eye. At this moment, Captain Liu had just turned his head and did not see the dead infant on the ground, but instead stared at my ebony sword pointing at his face, shouting loudly.

  Captain Liu had been a detective for over a decade, and his skills were impressive. Although he was flustered, he managed to dodge the sword by leaning back slightly.

  Dodging the ebony sword, Captain Liu didn't understand why I wanted to stab him and looked at me with some curiosity.

  I didn't even dare to breathe, and I pointed to the ground with a raised hand.

  Captain Liu followed my finger and saw the dead baby on the ground, his face turned white in an instant, he swallowed hard and looked up at me again.

  He had just raised his head, and immediately stared wide-eyed, with his mouth agape, looking at something behind me, as if he wanted to say something to me, but due to fear, he couldn't utter a sound for the time being.

  As soon as I saw his expression, I knew something was off, and I felt like there was something approaching from behind my neck, it was icy cold, making the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

  In this situation, I didn't dare to think too much or look back, let out a loud cry, and threw myself forward, rolling rapidly towards the front.

  Right after that, a crisp gunshot sounded in my ears, I knew Captain Liu couldn't hold back and fired his gun. Instantly feeling relieved, I rolled to his side, picked up the ebony sword and stood up.

  Turning back, the originally lying dead infant was nowhere to be seen, only a puddle of sticky black blood remained on the ground, while Captain Liu was still firing his gun frantically.

  I followed his gaze and saw that beside the ice cabinet where I had stood earlier, a human head was now floating!

  That person's hair on their head was nearly one meter long, scattered and covering their face. It floated strangely in the air, with the hair hanging down to the ground.

  Although his head was covered with hair and his face couldn't be seen clearly, I still recognized him at a glance. This is the woman's head that was put in the freezer!

  I've seen a lot of corpses, but I've never encountered such a scene before. I feel like I'm going crazy. Captain Liu is even more tense than me, holding his gun tightly and staring at the woman's head, firing non-stop.

  The woman's head just floated there, motionless. Captain Liu's bullet must have hit it, but there was no reaction at all. Especially since the woman's face was now completely covered by her hair, we couldn't see her expression at all, which made me feel even more uneasy inside.

  What I'm most worried about now is when Captain Liu's bullets will run out. If he runs out of bullets, that scary woman's head will probably counterattack.

  I gripped the ebony sword tightly, preparing for a desperate fight soon.

  Just then, it seemed like a drop of water fell on my face.

  This mortuary is cold and damp, with water droplets falling from the ceiling, which is quite normal. I casually touched one, but suddenly my heart skipped a beat!

  That dead baby!

  I was secretly lamenting in my heart, focusing on this woman's head, and I actually forgot about that dead infant.

  I lifted my hand and looked at my fingers, and indeed there was dark, smelly blood on them. The blood was sticky and disgusting. I randomly wiped it on my body and suddenly raised my head to look up.

  All I saw was that dead baby now looked just like a real gecko, its body tightly stuck to the top of our heads, staring at me with a pair of eyes emitting a faint green glow, and its wide open mouth constantly dripping black blood droplets, which had just dripped onto my face.

  As I lifted my head, the entire morgue suddenly fell silent.

  I cursed silently in my heart! Captain Liu's gun was out of bullets!

  Just then, a burst of laughter like an owl's hooting suddenly came from in front of us.

  That sound was like a ghost wailing, making people feel chilled to the bone. Most importantly, that sound came from the floating woman's hair.

  At this time, I couldn't care about the dead fetus on my head anymore, and I suddenly turned my head to look at the woman's brain.

  All I saw was that it chuckled twice, and then fell into an eerie silence. It didn't move at all, but the two or three seconds of silence felt like two or three years to me and Captain Liu.

  Suddenly!

  The woman's head jerked back suddenly, and the hair hanging in front of her face slid backward like a black waterfall, revealing her face.

  I don't even know how to describe this face, anyway I never want to see it again in this lifetime.

  All that can be seen is that the woman's originally disgusting and rotten face now has numerous small holes all over it, like a honeycomb, which were shot out by Captain Liu's pistol. Those small holes still have black blood flowing out of them non-stop, filling up her entire face, making her look even more terrifying than an evil spirit from hell!

  Right after that, this face suddenly opened its mouth and let out a sharp scream that pierced our eardrums, then pounced on us.

  I heard a rustling sound coming from above and knew that the dead infant was also falling down.

  I and Captain Liu could no longer bear this stimulation, and we both shouted out at the same time.

  Fortunately, although what's happening now is enough to drive an ordinary person crazy, Captain Liu has been a detective for over a decade and I've grown up following my master since childhood, so we're used to seeing dead bodies. Although scared, we didn't lose our composure.

  Captain Liu's bullets in the gun had been used up, and now he was no different from being bare-handed. He threw the gun in his hand out, and with a loud crash, it hit the woman's head, slowing down her rushing speed. Without hesitation, he ran to the side.

  I also dodged to one side, and with my left hand quickly pulled out a broken talisman from my pocket and threw it at the woman's head.

  The Bao Sha Fu was taught by my master. My master said that this talisman can drive away evil spirits and ward off evil influences, and when encountering yin objects, it can block them for a while.

  As expected, that woman's head seemed to have some apprehension towards the broken evil symbol. She looked at the talisman paper as it floated past her and suddenly stopped the car, not continuing to charge forward.

  Although the woman didn't chase after me, I couldn't catch my breath because the stench from above was getting closer and closer. I knew that dead fetus was about to pounce on my head.

  I'm too late to even lift my head now, heaven knows what the consequences will be if I get bitten by that dead fetus. I let out a loud cry and swung the ebony sword at the top of my head.

  All I heard was a "bang", my two hands sank, and then a mournful cry came from the top of my head, a stream of dark, sticky blood splattered all over me, and something also fell to my feet.

  The current situation is extremely dangerous, and although the bloodstained smell that splashed onto me was overwhelming, I've now forgotten to feel nauseous. Lowering my head for a look, all I see is a slender arm lying at my feet - in that one sword strike, I actually chopped off the dead infant's arm!

  The dead fetus suddenly fell beside the woman's head, letting out a loud and incessant wail, appearing to be in extreme pain.

  I and Captain Liu huddled in the corner of the wall, staring at the dead fetus and the woman's head suspended in mid-air, constantly swallowing our saliva.

  I'm cursing in my heart nonstop, if I had known it would be like this, I'd rather die than come here!

  But now it's too late to regret, I hold the ebony seven-star sword in my right hand and stretch my left hand into my pocket. I don't care what talismans they are, I grab a handful of them and stuff them into Captain Liu's hands, saying: "If they come over later, use these talismans to hit them."

  Captain Liu's face was as white as paper, and he took over the talisman from me. I knew that I must be in a bad state now too, but although I was scared, I still felt strange in my heart.

  This woman was clearly dead, and her head had been chopped off, so it's absolutely impossible for her to become a zombie, but what the hell is going on now? This master has never told me about this kind of situation before!

  I didn't have time to think much because at that moment, the woman's head let out a strange cry along with the dead baby and pounced towards us.

  Looking at their charging speed and that fierce momentum, I knew that today was probably going to end here.

  Bang!

  Just as I and Captain Liu were about to make a desperate effort, the door of the morgue suddenly emitted a loud noise. Amidst the noise, the door was pushed open with great force, and a figure appeared at the entrance!
