Chapter 329 Fake Corpse
Chapter 329 Fake Corpse
Midnight, three o'clock.
Xia Youjie lay quietly on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, stared blankly at the dim ceiling, and was absent-minded for a while without thinking about anything.
This was his eighth episode of insomnia, a situation he had never encountered before.
It's not really accurate to say it's insomnia.
It’s not that he couldn’t fall asleep, it’s just that his sleep was very light and he didn’t feel very refreshed when he woke up.
In reality, there is always a floating feeling of being half asleep and half awake, but in dreams, the details seem so real that it makes people trance-like.
The moonlight outside the window sprinkled dimly into the window, illuminating the veiled curtains extremely brightly. In the mist, it seemed as if a silhouette with a halo fell in front of the eyes, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared.
.......Is it an illusion?
Xia Youjie stood up, walked over and opened the curtains.
The light poured down without reservation, and the huge, round moon hung high in the sky like a bright pearl in a clam shell.
The wind blew the branches and leaves beside the window frame, casting mottled shadows.
Everything was quiet, the room was empty, and no one had been there.
I can even count my footsteps as I turn around and the sound of my breathing rising and falling in my chest.
He lowered his eyes slightly, touched his tight throat, walked to the door and poured a glass of water.
"Boom."
It was as if something had fallen on the wooden floor, making a dull thumping sound. In such a quiet night, it was particularly noticeable.
"Satoru?"
Xia Yujie asked subconsciously.
Next door is Gojo Satoru's residence.
Although the technical college would arrange a dormitory for each teacher, most sorcerers were busy with work and did not often come back to live there. Even if they did, most of them would leave early and return late at night.
Especially Gojo Satoru, as a special grade, received a message from Kyuju Yuki this morning, saying that a strange cursed spirit was found in a village two thousand kilometers away, and hoped to use Gojo Satoru's six eyes to analyze it.
It’s not unreasonable to come back at this point.
But... Xia Youjie now realized that the sound just now didn't seem to come from him.
But if it's not him, then who else could it be?
He put on his coat and quietly opened the handle.
The door next door was open, half-closed, and the light was not on.
In the dim room, someone was kneeling in front of the refrigerator.
Her long pink hair swayed with her movements, revealing her puffy cheeks and slender arms.
The packaging bags were scattered all over the ground, and the pair of eyes were looking ahead seriously, as if they were looking for something very seriously.
From Geto Suguru's perspective, he could only see a vague profile and a rough outline of the body.
But he recognized it almost immediately when he saw it.
"Youxin!"
He opened his eyes wide, and his whole body felt numb as if he had been struck by a bolt of lightning from the sky, unable to move.
"Ah, Jay, it's you." She took out a sandwich from the refrigerator, took a big bite, and immediately showed a satisfied smile, "Good evening."
With a "bang", the porcelain cup containing boiled water fell to the ground, breaking into pieces and spilling the water all over the floor.
Xia Yujie raised his hand expressionlessly and slapped himself hard in the face.
"Ah, it's not a dream." He heard a voice say.
*
Well, it wasn’t a dream.
The story of how I survived seems complicated, but it is actually not that simple.
As for why he ran into Gojo Satoru's dormitory and rummaged through the drawers looking for food, it's hard to explain in a few words.
And...I feel like I don't understand it myself.
But Xia Youjie had already stepped over the pile of garbage on the ground, took my hand and sat down on two chairs. He stared at me with his eyes, without blinking, and it didn't seem like he was going to go anywhere else for a while.
Well, there's nothing else to do right now anyway.
I sighed and said, "At that time, it was like this..."
When I was about to fight with Ryomen Sukuna, I was suddenly pulled by a strange force from nowhere and flew out of the mental space.
When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to my body.
emmm.......Personally, I think that in my short 25-year career, I have experienced many ups and downs.
Whether I was ambushed, hunted, or surrounded, or saved the dying Geto Suguru during the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, picked up the really dead Fushiguro Shinobu during the Astral Plasma Incident, or fought with Nozomi and pulled away the sealed Gojo Satoru, I handled it all with ease.
To put it bluntly, she is a woman who has seen a lot of things.
However, when I woke up, I was faced with a pitch-black world, with a white cloth covering my face. I was surrounded by freezing cold air, and there were sneaky noises coming from nowhere... It was the first time I had ever seen such a hellish scene!
I am a little superstitious to begin with, so the fact that I didn't scream out loud on the spot was quite impressive.
"So, an unknown force pulled them back." Xia Youjie held his chin and looked at me intently, "Then what?"
Then the sandwich in my hand was a bit dry, and I choked while eating, and my chest felt blocked.
He pulled out a complete porcelain cup from somewhere, poured water into it and placed it in front of me. He patted my back and said in a warm voice, "Drink the water first. Don't be in a hurry. Take your time."
........Wow, Jay, you really made me cry.
Otherwise, why would everyone in the Panxing Sect be so devoted to you?
I let out a long sigh, leaned back in my chair, put down the water glass, and continued, "Then, I got off the dissection table."
The bones in his body made an unpleasant "creaking" sound as if they were iron that had been rusted after being soaked in the river for two hundred years.
What's even weirder is that I felt a tingling pain in my neck and a cold liquid flowed down my hair and fingers, falling into my collar, causing me to shiver.
Because the light was dim and it was on my body, I couldn't see what it was at all.
So, following the route I remembered, I walked to the door and turned on the light above my head.
It doesn't matter if it's not opened, but it's really scary when it is opened.
The cold light shone on the pale skin, and dark blood trickled down from between the fingers, with a lot of blood not yet solidified, dripping onto the ground.
Opposite this side, there is a mirror half a person's height. After pulling open the collar, I can clearly see that there is a round wound on the right side of the neck, which is very deep, like some kind of spike-like metal instrument.
It must have been bandaged hastily. But the other party's method was perfunctory, as if he didn't want to stay any longer, so there were traces of excessive force on the white gauze.
And the bleeding didn't stop.
. . . . . .
What do you mean?
Afraid that I wasn't dead yet, he sneaked up on me and stabbed me again, to make sure I couldn't survive? !
.........Could it be that there is someone inside the college who is supporting Nozomi?
Anyway, after using the reversal technique to heal the wound, I pulled back my collar, looked up inadvertently, and happened to meet the gaze of the person in the mirror.
Her expression was stiff, her eyes were gloomy, the corners of her mouth twitched unconsciously, her hair was messy as if she had just escaped, and her clothes were stained with large patches of blood.
Seriously, I mean it.
Even though I knew it was me, even though I had been here several times, even though my clothes and decorations hadn't changed, I still got goosebumps in an instant.
If you don’t know, you might think this is the filming location of a horror movie.
It felt like the next second, Sadako and Kayako crawled out of the mirror, holding hands and pulling me in, and there was no sense of incongruity at all.
"You're scared." Xia Yujie smiled and said, "That's right, that place is a morgue. Normally, no one would go there at night except for Nitro."
"Will you do the autopsy there in the evening?" I asked.
"Yeah." He nodded, "But she shouldn't be that scared."
I:"........."
........As expected, there are mountains beyond mountains, and there are also houses beyond Suzuki Yuri and Glass.
My hands and feet were almost limp with fear. How on earth did Nitsuko pick up the scalpel and fiddle with it without changing her expression? No wonder she is always the calmest one when encountering strange situations.
Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru, even Nanami and Principal Yaga combined are no match for her.
With such an aura, you will succeed in everything you do.
