Chapter 239 Death Questions and Answers

Yi Chen was not stingy and directly served all the big bags of grave tea he just got.

 Although tea is a good thing, it is not a necessity, and it can be purchased directly from the organization in the future. There is no need to drink the highest grade grave tea at the beginning.

 As all the tea leaves were rolled into the old woman's mouth, the other woman immediately showed a satisfied expression.

“Young people today are really sensible. The conversation time is still one hour, but I will give you something else..."

 The old woman stretched out her fingers as dry as a dead tree and touched her cheek.

"Your "dead man makeup" is just for disguise, which is not enough. I will teach you some more effective and deadly "makeup", which will be of great help to you now.

 Come see me every Saturday at 12:00 and study for one hour. "

 “Thank you, Granny Tang.”

"You don't need to thank me. After all, you are the second "unable to die" person I have seen in my long life. The first is of course myself.

Just ask whatever you want to ask, and remember to leave the room before this candle burns out, otherwise I may not be able to control my festering mental impulse and do something too nice to you. "

The old woman's black and flexible tongue, full of sores, stirred rapidly in the air, sometimes folding, sometimes rolling, making weird sounds of flesh slices.

 It seems that as long as Yi Chen fails to leave on time, he will accept the punishment brought by this tongue.

Yi Chen did not reject Granny Tang’s weird behavior at all, and took the time to ask key questions:

“I want to know why we can still live like this after death? Instead of dying quietly like most people.”

Granny Tang took out a piece of sandpaper from the drawer and began to polish the wrinkles on her face. While polishing, she answered:

“I have been looking for the answer to this question for a long time. I always thought it was related to zombies at first. It was not until a Taoist priest attached all his talismans to my body but I still broke my neck that I rejected this idea.

 There was a period of time when I thought that I was not favored by the Lord of Hell for some reason. When I died, I did not send anyone to seduce my soul, so my soul remained in the corpse and lived.

 But I have never seen a bull-headed horse-faced creature for so long. With the development of society and science and technology, I am no longer superstitious about such things.

 Later, I came to the mental hospital and gradually discovered a problem during my daily conversations with Dr. Lu Xin.

It has been 471 years since my death. Many things have been abandoned and forgotten by me, but there are still some things that I have always kept in my heart. Every time I think about them, my whole body twitches with hatred.

Combined with the research in the mental hospital, it is probably inferred that it is related to the strong obsession I had during my lifetime, and no matter how time passes, the intensity of the obsession will not fade by half.

It is this strong obsession that keeps me alive.

 When this obsession begins to subside, I may really die like a normal person... Young man, you must also have some strong obsession in your heart, right? I can see the unwillingness and hatred in your eyes. "

"Yes."

“That’s right, we do belong to the same category, the [weirdness] related to death.”

Granny Tang’s last words made Yi Chen stunned for a moment.

In the past two years of "temporary worker" life, along with all kinds of weird contacts and killings, Yi Chen also began to wonder whether the state of the dead he presented was also a kind of weird.

Granny Tang continued: "The world we live in looks stable and stable, but in fact it is chaotic...[Human beings] are creatures that accidentally derive consciousness, and there are many variables and uncontrollability.

 With a huge population base, there are always some people who are unsociable, extreme, violent, and paranoid.

  Their thinking was constantly distorted as they grew up, and this distortion slowly affected the roots of their souls, causing them to change from the root, and eventually became so-called "weird".

However, we are not exactly like these guys. We have complete self-control, but we just have difficulty controlling our emotions when it comes to obsessions.

Unlike other weirdos, you have to find opportunities to vent every day, and even take pleasure in abuse, fear creation and killing.

　　Although I have killed people, it was already four hundred years ago. "

"I see…"

 Yi Chen nodded after receiving this answer. It felt reasonable.

He is also completely able to accept the ending of waiting until the orphanage is razed to the ground, killing Director Cao, untying his knot, putting aside his obsessions, and dying.

 At this time,

Grandma Tang, who had polished half of her face to look like a forty-year-old woman, used her tongue to lick off the dead skin powder, chewed and swallowed, and continued:

“The above is just my subjective guess as an old lady. There may be deeper and more important reasons that are unknown. As the same kind, we can slowly discuss this matter in the future.

 Remember the promise every Saturday, I will light candles and wait for your arrival. "

Yi Chen glanced at the red candle lit on the dressing table. There was still about 1/6 of the length left, and he took the time to ask the last question.

 He raised his hand and touched a drop of black liquid from the bullet hole between his eyebrows.

"What is this?"

“I don’t know what black liquid is and why it is produced in our bodies.

I only know that the black liquid will increase with our death time, use and certain factors. I am now covered with black liquid all over my body.

 The blood flowing in my body, the tissue fluid adhering to the surfaces of my organs, and the sweat overflowing from my pores are all this kind of stuff.

 Don’t reject [it],

Black liquid is unique to us, an important part of our body, and may even be a gift from death.

 Try to contact it and try to control it. It will become our most effective self-defense tool when we encounter danger. Of course, if you want to kill, it will also help, and it will be very efficient.

 You should leave, young man... Otherwise I will really lose control of myself. "

The remaining candle flickers,

Yi Chen felt a strange feeling coming from under his feet. When he looked down, he saw that the black liquid on the ground turned into tongue creatures with small arms that were climbing on the sneakers, licking the shoelaces and trademarks.

 “Grandma Tang, see you next time!”

 Hurry to say goodbye and exit the room.

Yi Chen almost closed the door as soon as the red candle went out...

 Pap, pah, pah! Fierce sounds of tongue whipping came from inside, and there were even more than ten tongues sticking out from the window on the door, sending an alternative invitation to Yi Chen.

At this moment, Granny Tang seemed to be a different person, as if she was whispering in his ear:

§Little brother, come in and play§

Yi Chen, who was born in an orphanage, was not frightened. He just bowed slightly towards the iron gate and turned around to leave.

On his way back to the doctor's office, there were many imprisoned [weirds] on both sides of the passage who issued an 'invitation' to the young man Yi Chen.

　　Or to stretch out one’s hands and feet,

 Or verbal ridicule or bewitchment,

 Some people even sprayed liquid through the windows on the door.

But when they saw what the young people were doing, they immediately withdrew the invitation.

  Along the way,

 The young man inserted his index finger completely into the bullet hole in his forehead, and even turned it slightly.

 Touch and poke the prefrontal lobe area with your index finger to improve your concentration and thinking ability, comprehensively review and think about the conversation just now, and completely ignore the harassment encountered along the way.

When meeting someone who goes too far, Yi Chen will even give him a terrifying dead look, as if he wants to beat the person to pieces.

 Arrived in front of the attending doctor-Lu Xin’s office,

Yichen slowly pulled out the index finger from between his brain, then put the index finger into his mouth, sucked off the black liquid stained on it and wiped it clean with a tissue.

 Hands on some simple make-up to cover the hole in my forehead. After tidying up my clothes, I walk into the office with a smile.

 After a brief exchange, Yi Chen received his first hunting mission as a "lone wolf".

 There has been a large number of suicides in an art school recently. The suicide rate on campus in the past month is more than 20 times the average suicide rate in the urban area. The chosen method of suicide is [hanging].

A temporary team went to investigate a week ago, but the investigation yielded no results. It was suspected that a certain monster hidden in the school had extremely high anti-reconnaissance capabilities and would only attack a single individual.

This matter falls on the newly promoted official employee-Yi Chen, who is just old enough to pretend to be a freshman.
