Chapter 1086 Vertical Coffin
Then he painted the nose and mouth as delicately as possible, and compared them with the corpse next to him from time to time.
According to Zhang Junyu’s analysis, the most difficult part of drawing a face for a paper man should be the eyes, and also the most dangerous part!
So he planned to leave his eyes to the last painting, so that even if something went wrong, he could complete the task as quickly as possible.
Once the mission is over, he will be out of danger.
He had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't put it into words.
Suddenly, Zhang Junyu, who was bending down and concentrating on drawing the lips of the paper man, twitched his ears.
He seemed to hear a strange sound, like the sound of someone walking inside the ancestral hall and stepping on a rotten wooden board.
“Creak——”
Now Zhang Junyu heard it clearly, that’s right, something is coming in from outside!
His first reaction was the Lady Dahe mentioned by Yu Chengmu, but strangely, he did not hear the bell.
"Crunch——"
The voice came closer, and there was no doubt that it was directed at him, but what did he do wrong?
Zhang Junyu, who was holding a paintbrush, forced himself to calm down. He knew very well that the more chaotic he was, the faster he would die.
Hold his breath, he tiptoed behind the white curtain, gently opened a slit with his hand, and looked out.
He at least needs to figure out what this guy out there is.
To his surprise, it was quiet outside and there was nothing.
“No.”
What’s scarier than the sudden appearance of a ghost? The ghost disappeared quietly.
Zhang Junyu couldn't help but tremble. He suddenly remembered something that a senior once said.
Humans have three souls and seven souls. The body must wait for the soul to return to its proper place before relatives can arrange for burial.
Otherwise, in the first seven days, the lost souls will come back, and at least the family will be plagued by bad luck and become weak and sick, or at worst, there will be a bloody disaster and the family will be destroyed.
And the souls of people who died in vain are even more terrifying. They are unwilling to give up and will entangle everyone they meet.
People in the yin and yang circles call this kind of evil spirit the spirit of the dead.
Has the corpse in front of you been buried before?
Zhang Junyu walked quickly to the body and began to inspect it by candlelight. Finally, he found some soil under the wooden frame where the body was placed.
Twisting it with his hand and putting it under his nose, Zhang Junyu’s expression changed drastically.
Sure enough!
This is not ordinary soil, but grave soil!
This body was once buried in a coffin and later dug out.
Thoughts flashed through Zhang Junyu's mind. As if to confirm, he stood up tremblingly, approached the corpse, and carefully observed the neck of the corpse.
A moment later, what he was most worried about finally happened.
The neck of the corpse showed signs of severe bending and squeezing. Zhang Junyu’s face was ashen. This corpse was actually buried in a vertical coffin!
Usually when a corpse is buried, the coffin is placed flat and the corpse lies in it, as if it is asleep.
But the coffin containing the body was actually buried vertically. What’s even weirder is that the body was standing head down in the coffin.
The greatest evil among all evils!
I don’t know whose idea it was. No wonder the corpse was so resentful that it summoned the dead soul.
But now that things have happened, it is useless to talk about it now, Zhang Junyu forced himself to think.
He is 90% sure that the thing outside is the dead spirit.
It is rumored that the undead spirit cannot be seen with the naked eye unless the eyelids are smoked with corpse oil or painted with the tears of farm cattle before they die.
Unlike ordinary souls that are formless and insubstantial, the souls of the dead can leave footprints due to their heavy resentment, but they can only become visible when they step on the grave soil.
But. The number of graves here was obviously not enough. The sound of stepping on wooden boards came from outside again, getting closer and closer to him.
His eyes scanned nervously in the small space. He thought about ignoring the dead souls outside and finishing painting the face of the paper man in the shortest possible time.
But there is not enough time, and it is easier to make mistakes when you are busy, and you may cause big trouble.
Suddenly, he spotted the incense burner from the corner of his eye.
Incense ash!
He remembered that incense ashes can be used instead of grave soil, and the dead souls will leave footprints when they step on the incense ashes.
The key to this mission may not be to draw the face of the paper man, but how to deal with the undead.
No longer hesitating, Zhang Junyu grabbed a handful of incense ash and sprinkled it behind the curtain, and then sprinkled the incense ash around in a circle.
After doing all this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and the footsteps also showed that the dead soul had arrived outside the curtain.
There was only a thin layer of cloth separating him.
One second, two seconds Zhang Junyu waited nervously. He only knew that the Undead Soul would leave footprints on the ashes, but he didn't know whether this would stop the Undead Soul from harming him.
Finally, after about half a minute, Zhang Junyu felt completely relieved.
He never thought that these inconspicuous incense ash would actually become his protective circle at this moment.
Zhang Junyu took a few deep breaths, sorted out his thoughts, turned around, and planned to finish drawing the face of the paper man, but when he just raised his pen, a burst of footsteps suddenly sounded like a reminder.
Very fast, very fast, almost instantly, she was behind him.
The Wu family mansion.
In a wing room.
"How could this happen?" The fat man's nervous voice changed.
Not long ago, there was another bang, and the third person set off.
According to the mission rules, this means that the first two people, namely Zhang Junyu and Lei Mingyu, all failed.
In such a world, he knows very well what it means to fail a mission.
What exactly did they encounter?
Zhang Junyu and Lei Mingyu were not newcomers, and the task of making them die tragically one after another was placed on him. The fat man rolled his throat. He could already think of the ending.
Jiang Cheng’s focus is not on the difficulty of the task, but on time.
Putting down his cell phone, Jiang Cheng's expression was equally ugly, "The first Zhang Junyu had an accident half an hour after the mission started, and Lei Mingyu only lasted 25 minutes."
In less than an hour, they suffered losses one after another. For two teammates, Jiang Cheng did not expect such a result.
But soon, the fourth bang came.
The fat man's face instantly turned pale, and Jiang Cheng's first reaction was to look at his phone.
20 minutes.
Ah Biao actually only lasted 20 minutes!
Worse than the last Lei Mingyu.
"Okay, doctor, I'm afraid I'm cold this time." The fat man said with a sad face, "I'd better use this time to say goodbye to you. Doctor, thank you for taking care of me during this time. I may go I will accompany brothers Wang Qi and Huai Yi.”
“You don’t have to worry after I die, they will be with me. You are not alone, you must defeat the old president, I. We will wait for you in the car!”
“Don’t say such depressing words.” Jiang Cheng’s expression improved a little when he heard the fourth bang. Standing up, with a hint of weirdness, "Fat man, the situation may be different from what we thought." (End of Chapter)
