Chapter Thirty-Four The Third Corpse Appears

  When I was sent back, the sky had already darkened. After watching the military vehicle drive away, I walked up the stairs. In the pitch-black corridor, Su Haicheng's voice suddenly came: "You're back."

  "Ah!" I jumped in fright, my feet somewhat unsteady, and being on the stairs, one step back and I would have fallen. A force in the darkness grabbed my hand, steadying my body.

  "Are you waiting for me?"

  "Alright."

  "That's not even giving me a phone call."

  Afraid of being discovered.

  "How long have you been standing here? Can't you wait at home instead?" No, I'm a bit dizzy. A man, waiting for a woman in the dark staircase. Home is just upstairs, but still waiting on the stairs. This...I'm not an emotional idiot, if I don't know what this means, it's pitiful. I suddenly jumped up and hugged him in the darkness, and kissed his face. But it seemed too dark, and I ended up kissing his ear instead of his face. No matter, when he panicked and wrapped his arms around me, I held his face, so even if I couldn't see, I could estimate where his lips were.

  Kissed down, and said to himself: "From today on, I'm sure I've fallen in love with Su Haicheng, that dead man!"

  Su Haicheng was stunned, his first reaction was to remain motionless, and it wasn't until a few seconds later that he pushed me away. He actually pushed me away instead of deepening the kiss. In the darkness, he said: "Go back." After saying that, he ran upstairs in big strides.

  Is he shy? When he kissed me, why wasn't he shy at all?

  When I returned home in a bad mood, he was already online in the room. I don't know what he's busy with, anyway, it's as if nothing had happened earlier.

  I don't know how to start a conversation with him, so I just lie down on the sofa and take out my phone to log in to QQ. On QQ, Kaka Xi's favorite avatar "Kaka Xi" is jumping around, six messages, what does he want from me? Open it up: "Are you there?" "Do you still remember that tetrodotoxin thing?" "Now Su Hai Cheng himself can't even explain what's going on." "I think we should take him to the hospital for a check-up." "Maybe he really was poisoned by tetrodotoxin and didn't die after all?"

  I shot back: "What if we didn't? We'd just watch him get sold to a research institute by the hospital, and then they'd dissect him? Don't even think about it!"

  After sending it out, I threw the phone on the sofa and didn't even look at it. There's no room for discussion in this matter, we can't afford to gamble with them because they can't afford to lose.

  Put his hands on his forehead and shouted in annoyance: "Ah!"

  Su Haicheng in the room looked over from the computer and said, "What did you mean just now?" My home is really too small. He was in the house, I was in the living room, but we spoke without any difficulty.

  "It's what you meant when you kissed me! You didn't answer me, did you?" I said lazily, stretching on the sofa.

  He walked out of the room, and before I could react, he had already leaned down, his hands propped on the sofa, surrounding me. This move was too obvious. No need to explain.

  His voice was a little strange: "Are you sure? I'm a dead man, maybe I can't even register for marriage with you."

  "You have a military mindset. Socializing is just for getting married."

  "You're not here for marriage, what's it for?"

  "Love." I spat out the word. He froze, not speaking either. Nor did he know what he was thinking about. I reached out and hooked his neck: "Then why did you kiss me before? Want to marry me? How are we going to get married? Do you want me to ask your grandfather for your death notice or something? Let's go register."

  He suddenly stood up and walked into the room. I think it's all over now. We've said so much, he still left me hanging like this, how embarrassing will it be when we meet again? Should I move out for a few days? He spent money, he's the boss, I'd better move out for a while.

  Before I had even finished processing these thoughts, he came back and before I could react, he leaned down and kissed my lips.

  This time was different from the past, it came fiercely, just on that small sofa, we almost made it to the end. At that last moment, he actually ran away! Ran away! Ran away!

  Lying alone on the sofa, staring at the moldy ceiling, I thought to myself: "Will a 30-year-old old bachelor be useless?"

  But after I calmed down, I was shocked by my own behavior. What did I just do? I almost did it with a dead person! This! This!

  My mind was a mess again. This chaotic feeling made me realize that time had gone wrong, and when the phone rang, it was already past 10 pm. I tidied up my clothes, picked up the phone, and looked at the caller ID - it was Su Haicheng. Had he escaped earlier to apologize now?

  I quickly picked up the phone: "Hello."

  "Come over right away to Ah Tian's bar, do you still remember the address?"

  "Pub? Forget it, I don't like it."

  "Do you remember that dead medic we saw by the lake? He's back!"

  He hadn't even finished speaking when I jumped up from the sofa, grabbed the keys that had been thrown on the table and ran out: "I'll be right there, I'll be right there."

  That dead person has appeared again! The second, no, the third dead person has appeared! He's back! Back in D City. The first was Su Haicheng, the second was Sakura Yuki, and the third is that medic. If only he could tell us what happened.

  When I rushed to Ah Tian's bar, the rolling door of the bar was half pulled down, and there was a sign at the entrance that read "Suspended Business". Ah Tian and Su Haicheng were really good brothers, both had suspended business for many days for him.

  This time, I didn't hesitate and went straight into the bar. The bar was brightly lit with big lights. I was already late. In the bar were Su Haicheng and A Tian, as well as the boss and Kakashi. Most importantly, there was a man surrounded by them.

  The man was wearing a very ordinary jacket, and he felt like he would not be recognized even if he were lost in the crowd. He hunched his neck, sat on a high stool, with his hands clutched between his legs, and the whole person exuded a fearful feeling.

  As I walked in, the boss was asking: "Didn't you see a girl in her twenties, quite pretty, wearing a white coat? She left D city on the 19th and should have appeared at that village on the 19th or 20th."

  The medic looked up and glanced at him, then immediately lowered his head: "No, our 16th has already had an accident."

  I walked over and stood beside Su Haicheng. "What's going on?" he asked, "Don't be afraid, I'm the commander of the troops stationed at that village. We've all been to that village before, there's no need for us to keep any secrets from each other."

  He remained silent, his head bowed, not saying a word. Su Haicheng lowered his voice and said again: "Just a few days ago, we met by the lake. Do you remember? You were dead, I flipped through your ID card, and I knew you were from that medical team in front of us."

  He suddenly looked up at Su Haicheng, and the next second he exclaimed: "I don't remember, I don't remember, I don't remember. That village was contagious. All our people were infected. Suffocated, all suffocated. Suffocated to...to... We walked into the lake water, but nothing happened. Because we couldn't breathe, we just kept walking like this, at the bottom of the water, at the bottom of the water."

  "Where did you go? What did you see?" Su Haicheng asked.

  The boss also shouted: "Where is that girl? Her clothes are different from those in the village, and she should be easy to identify."

  "No! No! Everyone's been burned, it's so hot, so hot, just want to run into the water, that would be a bit more comfortable."

  I couldn't help but cover my mouth, they, those who had been determined to be dead, when they set fire in Suhaicheng, still had intuition. How painful the memory was for them. They were clearly conscious, yet they watched themselves being burned into charcoal with their eyes wide open.
