Chapter 231 Feeding the Dead
Chapter 231 Feeding the Dead
"There... there's someone... cough cough cough..." The old man coughed for a long time before he spoke the second sentence with difficulty. Lin Yu did not answer him, but walked forward slowly... Lin Yu placed the flashlight on the bedside table so that the light could spread in the room. Then the old man lying on the bed struggled to open his eyes and looked at the person standing at the head of the bed...
"People... It's people... I, I finally... I saw a living person again..." The old man tried to sit up excitedly, but he was too old and could no longer bear this kind of stimulation. Under Lin Yu's gaze, the old man's eyes suddenly became bloodshot, his chest began to rise and fall violently, and then in a very short time, he completely stopped breathing and returned to calm...
Lin Yu frowned. He didn't expect that the old man would die so easily that he didn't even ask a useful question. At this moment, Lin Yu accidentally saw something covered with rust and dust on the bedside table. Lin Yu picked it up and swept away the dust. He finally confirmed that it was a police badge that had gone through vicissitudes of life. On this badge, the name "Thomas Gooch" was written... This old man turned out to be the sheriff who came down with Lin Yu to find the devil, but looking at his appearance, he seemed to have lived in this place for decades. Then the skeleton... Lin Yu felt that the clothes worn by the skeleton were familiar. Now, it was not the well-cut female police uniform, but what else could it be... Then the identity of the skeleton was naturally confirmed. It was Inspector Gooch's right-hand man, Officer Sybil.
But why did this brave and loyal female police officer lie down at the feet of the old Inspector Gucci and die until she turned into a skeleton... What happened during the time when Lin Yu was separated from them? How long has it been? All of this has become an eternal mystery with the death of Inspector Gucci...
Just as Lin Yu was standing silently in front of the corpse's bed, suddenly a slow but heavy footsteps came from the corridor outside the door... The footsteps were loud and sharp, and it could be judged that the person was wearing a pair of high heels, but judging from the interval between the steps, the person's walking method was definitely not normal, as if he had epilepsy, or had just learned to walk. It was particularly strange in the dead silent corridor... Lin Yu frowned slightly, and after a little thought, he turned and walked towards the closet in the room, then quietly opened the door and hid inside.
Just after Lin Yu hid in the closet, the door of the ward was opened from the outside.
"Click, click..." Lin Yu could only hear someone walking in from outside the door, not only the sound of footsteps, but also the sound of some other appliances. Hiding in the closet, Lin Yu couldn't see what was happening outside, but this didn't bother him. It was pitch black all around, and Lin Yu absolutely couldn't make any noise or fire. It was definitely not a good idea to expose himself when he didn't know what was outside.
Then, the telepathy at the tip of Lin Yu's finger condensed into a needle, and it flashed away, and a small hole the size of a needle hole appeared in front of Lin Yu's eyes. A ray of light entered Lin Yu's eyes through the needle hole, and the situation outside finally appeared in front of Lin Yu.
The first thing Lin Yu saw was a horrible, disgusting, and extremely distorted face. It was a waxy white face covered with dark red blood and yellow-brown stains. The facial features were indistinguishable. It looked like a caterpillar body or a floating corpse that had been soaked in stagnant water for months.
This swollen face was very close to Lin Yu, so close that Lin Yu almost thought that his existence had been exposed. Just as he was about to break out of the closet and rush towards the monster, the monster with this disgusting swollen face turned around on its own and walked towards the bed next to it, shaking.
Lin Yu carefully exhaled a long breath and began to observe the monster carefully again, but when he saw it clearly, a strange feeling came to his heart.
The monster in front of Lin Yu was one of his mission targets this time, the "swollen-faced nurse". As the name suggests, this monster looks like a zombie nurse with a swollen face. But after Lin Yu actually saw them, he realized that his previous understanding of them was still incomplete.
The nurse in front of him not only retained her perfect figure in life, but also gained an evil charm under the influence of darkness, corrosion, and pollution. She looked dirty, and her whole body and clothes were a rotten white color. The clothes and skin almost seemed to be fused together. However, on her pale skin, which looked like a corpse, the blood vessels flowing with purple-black blood were clearly visible, which looked so weird.
But what really surprised Lin Yu was what the "swollen-faced nurse" was doing. Behind the swollen-faced nurse, there was a tattered cart with only three wheels left. Lin Yu saw the swollen-faced nurse taking things from the cart one after another, and then came to the dead Inspector Gucci.
The swollen-faced nurse seemed to have not noticed that Inspector Gucci was dead. She bent down, helped the dead old man up, then picked up a dirty bottle full of dark red blood and started to give Inspector Gucci's body an IV.
Not only that, the swollen-faced nurse even picked up something that looked like a lunch box, and took out a spoon with a worn bottom, and fed the "food" in the lunch box into the old man's mouth. Of course, the dead can't chew or swallow, and the spoon in the swollen-faced nurse's hand can't even knock open the old man's teeth, but the swollen-faced nurse is extremely persistent. Although her head is tilted, and her "heart" seems to be full of confusion, why the patient didn't open his mouth to swallow the food, but she is still trying to feed the old man and put the food into Inspector Gooch's mouth.
The swollen-faced nurse's movements were stiff and clumsy, and she was always twitching from time to time, but what she was doing now was like a real nurse, taking good care of an elderly man with limited mobility. This strange scene was unfolding in front of Lin Yu, so that he began to doubt that the reason why the old and seriously ill Inspector Gucci was able to survive until now was not because of these swollen-faced nurses.
After trying for a long time, he still couldn't pry open the old man's teeth. All the "food" on the spoon fell on the chest of Inspector Gucci's body. The swollen-faced nurse kept whimpering anxiously, and the old man's body with eyes wide open and a hideous expression in his arms. One was a cursed ghost who could never rest in peace, but wanted to feed a dead old man. This scene in front of him made Lin Yu not know how to describe it.
