Chapter 8 Blood and Black Cloth(1/3)
Outside the window, the sound of drizzling rain was faintly heard.
The sound of rain slapping the window in Yu Xing's ears was heard, dull and weaker than expected. He waited for a few seconds and opened the curtain again. The body just now disappeared.
The blood in the pool also disappeared. The clean bathtub with the porcelain white wiped was always cold and reminded of Ye Ming's blood-stained face.
"Is it a real ghost? Or is it the world inside and outside?" Yu Xing looked at the blood stains on his hands and the remaining ones on the curtain. Only these traces can prove that Ye Ming's body did exist.
Just now... was it a reminder? He specifically reminded him of Ye Ming's "cause of death"?
How can such a good thing be?
Yu Xing was sure that he would not stop this night, so he leaned over and turned on the faucet to put water into the bathtub.
The steaming water spread quickly, and the rising mist dispelled the gloom in the bathroom, but also brought a lot of hazyness.
Yu Xing tried the water temperature, then took off his clothes and stepped into the water tank.
"Hu..." He lay down on his back, leaning against the edge of the bathtub, suddenly feeling all his fatigue was healed by hot water, a warm feeling wrapped around him, and the blood on his hands was washed away by the water flow.
Sleeping came quietly again, Yu Xing closed his eyes slightly, but he did not let himself fall asleep. You know, in an environment where everything could become dangerous, sleeping in a bathtub could only be associated with the words "drowning, leakage and electrocution". He was not so heartless.
But it's really comfortable...
Yu Xing resisted his sleepiness and soaked in the bathtub for five minutes. When he raised his eyes, he could see the sky outside the window, which was illuminated by lightning from time to time. The glass reflected the swaying shadows of trees. The rain hit it, climbing into winding lines, and converging into streams of flowing down.
When he thought of getting up, he found that he had forgotten the towel outside and put it with his clothes.
"..." Yu Xing thought to himself why he made mistakes in such small details. Did he not only become younger, but also become stupid?
He held the bathtub with one hand and planned to get the towel with his body wet first. A creepy feeling suddenly came from behind.
Before I knew it, the water level in the bathtub rose a little, and a feeling of being watched came naturally.
Yu Xing frowned, and before he could turn around, he saw a blood-stained arm stretching out from behind him. The hand held Yu Xing's wrist, as if to stop him from leaving the bathtub.
He was stunned, and suddenly felt like a needle-like tingling in his brain. All kinds of senses were instantly transparent. Vision, touch, and hearing seemed to have returned from a distance. Suddenly, the sound of rain outside the window increased, and it sounded through his eardrums. The water temperature was not warm, but was cold and harsh. Some things that should not exist were staying in the bathtub with him, with stiff and cold skin pressing against his legs.
In his sight, the blood came back, drop by drop on the ground, and also on...his body.
Even though Yu Xing had seen many ghosts, he was sweating coldly at this time because he... was unprepared and fell into some hallucination and lay in the bathtub with Ye Ming's body!
No wonder, the sound of the heavy rain was so weak in his ears, and... the heat in the water tank did not fog the window that was close to him. He looked at the window for so long and didn't realize it, and he also forgot what he would never forget. His hearing, vision, and even thinking were suppressed in the illusion!
What followed was a chill, and the sticky blood on his body was already telling him what was going on now.
He broke away from the hand holding his wrist with a dark face and slowly turned around. Ye Ming's wide eyes were close at hand. The body occupied a small part of the bathtub, leaving more than half of Yu Xing. The cold pool water was dirty, with a layer of blood scab floating, and underneath was the newly dissolved blood.
"..." Yu Xing was a little angry.
He looked at the corpse for a second, then suddenly stood up. The corpse seemed to know that he wanted to leave, tore through the harmless disguise, and his expression was ferocious for a moment, and he danced his arms and pulled Yu Xing's legs.
The power coming from his legs was not something that Yu Xing, a "human", could resist. The numerical balance made his own strength suppressed into an ordinary person. He almost fell into the blood, and then felt a cold touch coming from his neck. A downward force strangled him and pressed into the blood.
The air was taken away instantly, and Yu Xing was pushed into the water by Ye Ming's body. His eyes were covered with blood red, and the sound of chaotic water flowing came from his ears.
He knew that this was not that easy to finish. How could the ghost who appeared without an attack that could kill him easily?
At least when cooking, if he didn't call Ye Ming to come and see him, it would be the end of offending "Dad" or "Ye Ming and Yu Wan". He would inevitably encounter trouble. Seeing the corpse in the bathroom would be unreasonable without any more terrifying trouble.
But since he was killed, there would definitely be room for life for deduction. Yu Xing's thinking was running rapidly under the water. He struggled desperately while bent his hand against his neck. What was the way to life?
The first road, I just didn’t go into the bathtub and went back to my room to sleep.
But this is not fair to the bathtub where the corpse is lying through, and to the cleaner who prefers to clean.
The second way of life is now!
Yu Xing found that he could not break the corpse's hand, which was a huge difference in strength. He decisively gave up and groped at the bottom of the bathtub.
His hands touched the cold bottom of the tank and the body... I don’t know what part it was, but Yu Xing didn’t have time to care about this because he also touched something that shouldn’t exist in the bathtub!
The wooden sticks have a rough texture and heavy quality.
He tried to raise something with one hand, and through the touch, he understood that it was an axe.
He had previously guessed that the wound on Ye Ming's body was caused by something like an axe. Now when the corpse was about to kill him, an axe appeared in the bathtub, which was self-evident. This is the way to live!
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! But Yu Xing did not directly chop at the corpse next to him with an axe. On the contrary, his movements slowed down and even his struggle became much lighter.
There was no reason. When he was pressed down on water just now, in order to prevent blood from sucking into his nose, he instinctively held his breath, but he couldn't stand the long-term suffocation. He accidentally relaxed his control and took a little breath.
But... the imaginary discomfort did not come.
He was stunned for a moment and felt familiar with this situation.
Isn’t this the underwater breathing ability he obtained after devouring Shi Wei in the crazy half-monster state?
The system has not taken away such capabilities...
Yu Xing thought of more in an instant, this was his ability before he entered the deduction, so the system could not detect it?
Or is it that what the system has taken away this time is only the "sacrificial gifts" created by it and the extension ability, as well as the physical fitness that can be detected?
Underwater breathing, inspirational senses, without data floating on the surface, do not fall into this category.
This means... the system cannot penetrate the soul into the sensory deducer? Yes, the system did not sense the evil spirit in Zhao Yijiu's body, nor did it sense the actor's consciousness hidden in Han Yan's body.
Then he has a lot of abilities. In the past, he could even use the power of curses to instill life into dead people, just like Zhu Yan, he could also strip others of their vitality, but that was a long time ago.
This is a good thing for Yu Xing, because many of his abilities do not rely on the system. If some of his abilities are recovering, it will be a huge surprise.
Similarly, it can be seen that in the formal competitive world, he may still be able to use some special ability.
The next second, Yu Xing woke up. Since the system did not detect it, he could not expose it to the system himself. Of course, he had to pretend!
He opened his eyes in the blood.
The anger of being forced to sleep with the corpse in a bathtub erupted at this time. He symbolically kicked his legs and struggled. Then his eyes moved slightly, and the curve of the corners of his eyes finally showed a hint of ruthlessness after losing his usual calmness.
The axe in his hand drew a blood wave, and first hit Ye Ming's body. The water wave formed a very large resistance. Yu Xing did not pause at all, and then cut off again along the inertia of the water wave.
This time.
Destroy and destroy.
The axe was deeply embedded in Ye Ming's body. According to common sense, adding another wound to the corpse is nothing, but this corpse is different. It is afraid of the axe.
The first time he was chopped, the corpse let go of Yu Xing's neck. Yu Xing immediately stood up and floated to the surface of the water, pretending to be extremely dizzy due to lack of oxygen. He breathed hard, but continued to greet the corpse in his hand, until the blood became more intense and the corpse could no longer be seen.
His eyes were darker and deeper than before, and the faint anger still had not been vented. He sat half kneeling in the bathtub, his naked upper body was covered with blood, flowing down the texture, and the axe in his hand was even more ferocious and half-sinked into the water.
Another lightning flashed past outside the window, thunder thunder sounded, and the cable broke down. The whole house suddenly fell into darkness, which only illuminated his face in that moment.
The light flies in a flash.
In the darkness, Yu Xing heard his breathing heavy, with a strange and long-lost sense of danger, announcing that the monster that once once showed signs of recovery.
He pursed his lips and lowered his head, loosened his hands, and threw the axe into the water. He took the initiative to restrain his negative emotions that he shouldn't have in his heart, and his breathing gradually stabilized.
Outside the bathroom, a restless sound came faintly. He heard Ye Ming and Ye Ting talking loudly. Then, footsteps came, as if Ye Ming had knocked on the door and asked, "Ye Qin, are you okay?"
Yu Xing bent down and touched it. Because of the darkness, there were no traces of corpses and axes in the water, and even the water temperature gradually rose and became warm.
The viscous feeling also disappeared without a trace. Yu Xing, who was too familiar with the blood, knew that the bathtub was normal again, and he could not smell the bloody smell.
He replied, "I'm fine, I'm almost done with washing and will come out soon."
"Second brother, be careful not to slip, it's too dark." Ye Ting said outside the door immediately.
"Don't worry." Yu Xing replied last, listening to the two of them discussing whether to continue using flashlights or to light the candles.
He walked out of the bathtub in secret, pulled open the curtain, found the towel he had forgotten by his clothes, wiped his body expressionlessly, put on his clothes, covered the towel on his wet hair, wiped it a few times at will, and opened the door.
The figures of Ye Ming and Ye Ting were gone outside the door. A beam of light came from Ye Ming's room. The light shone left and right, and from time to time, it shone outside.
Ye Ting was asking: "Where did you put the candle?"
Yu Xing walked over softly, leaned against the door, and saw the brother and sister kneeling beside the bed and pulling things under the bed.
The source of the beam is in Ye Ming's hand - an old-fashioned flashlight.
He pulled out a box, opened it with the flashlight and put it back in disappointment: "I haven't used a candle for a long time. How do I know where it is, but it must be nearby..."
Yu Xing looked at Ye Ming's thin figure. Most of the time, he looked like a normal brother. Whether it was the face in the car glass or the corpse in the bathroom, it seemed that he had a serious sense of separation from him.
Ye Ting noticed Yu Xing at this time, and her eyes lit up: "You're out? Woo woo, I'm so worried that you'll be scared if you're in the bathroom."
She said as she got up, ran a few steps to hug Yu Xing's arm, and the normal body temperature of a "living person" was transmitted to Yu Xing's skin through her clothes.
Ye Ming: "...It's obvious that you are afraid of it."
Yu Xing pulled the corner of his mouth, and gave a perfunctory smile that could not be seen anyway. He rubbed Ye Ting's hair: "Don't be afraid, brother is here."
It is normal for a little girl about fourteen years old to be afraid of the dark.
"I don't know when the power outage will be." Ye Ming murmured, and finally found a box of candles. He put the candlesticks, lit the candle with a match, and held it in his hand. A faint light lit up in the room.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Until the candle wax begins to drip, Ye Ming tilts the candle, drops the candle tears onto the surface of the candlestick, and then stands the candle on the candlestick.
"I just seemed to see lightning breaking the cable through the window. If I want to wait for a call, I will probably have to wait for the repairman to come tomorrow." Yu Xing said.
The telephone pole stood not far from the house, and could be seen through the bathroom window. Yu Xing could only vaguely see lightning falling, a piece of thing was sparking and falling down.
"Ah? Will it catch fire?" Ye Ting was a little worried.
