Chapter 10 Ten Attic Changes

The inner courtyard is actually quite wide, they searched around but found nothing.Finally, they came to Cui Beihai's dormitory.Everything was neatly tidied up. Although the dormitory was not small, it was almost clear at a glance, and there was no place to hide.They opened the closet, and there were only clothes in the closet, nothing under the bed.This dormitory was the last place they were going to search, but there was another door at the back door of the dormitory.Chang Huhua stopped before this door, and then asked: What is behind this door?Mr. Yi Zhu said: It is a small room for storing sundries.Chang Huhua pushed the door open and entered.Behind the door is indeed a small room for storing sundries, but there are not many sundries.Most of the small room is divided into two floors, and an attic is built on the top half.The entrance to the attic is on the right side against the wall, enough for one person to go in and out, and there is a door.The door was not locked, it was just closed, and there was a wooden ladder under the door.

When Chang Huhua stepped in, his expression became very strange.The small room has only one entrance and exit connecting the dormitory, and there are no other doors on the four walls, and there are no windows.It seems that such a small room should naturally be dark and dead, but now this small room is neither dark nor dead.The door was wide open, although it was not intense at all, at least some light had entered. Of course, this small room was not as dark as it used to be, but the dead silence was definitely not changed because of their entry.There was already a voice in the chamber itself.A very strange sound, like countless rustling fans.The rustling sound was not very loud, but due to the silence of the environment, they could all hear it very clearly.

Yang Xun was the second to step in, and blurted out, "What's the sound?"Du Xiaotian listened attentively, but did not make a sound, his face began to change color.Mr. Yi Zhu helped the maidservant, and also walked in, but his expression seemed to be indifferent.Chang Huhua immediately took a step back, moved closer to Yi Zhujun's side, and said: "Sister-in-law, did you hear that sound?"Yi Zhujun said dumbly: What kind of voice?Chang Huhua was stunned, but still responded: "The sound of rustling."Mr. Yi Zhu said: No.Chang Huhua was startled again, staring at Yi Zhujun.Mr. Yi Zhu didn't respond at all, he was like a clay bodhisattva.At this moment, Du Xiaotian suddenly cried out, saying: That seems to be the sound of blood-sucking moths flapping their wings!As soon as these words were uttered, the air in the room seemed to freeze instantly!Yang Xun was the first to shiver, and said in a trembling voice: Where did the voice come from?No one answered, except Mr. Yi Zhu, everyone's eyes were on the attic.It was him, Yang Xun, who had already set his eyes on the attic when he spoke, and everyone held their breath in unison.

The rustling sound became clearer.Chang Huhua started walking quickly, walked up to the ladder, looked up at the door of the attic, and walked up the stairs, his steps were slow and light.That ladder has only a dozen or so steps.Chang Huhua went up a few steps, stretched out her hand and slowly opened the door. As soon as the door opened, there was a loud rustling sound.Chang Huhua poked her head in and took a look inside the door, her face immediately changed color!He closed the door with his backhand and slowly descended the steps.Although Du Xiaotian and Yang Xun saw something wrong down below, they still couldn't help being surprised when they came down to see Chang Huhua's face.Chang Huhua's complexion is too ugly.In just a short moment, he seemed to have been immersed in ice water for a long time, and his face was as pale as a dead man.

Du Xiaotian couldn't help asking: Brother Chang, what is in the attic.Chang Huhua took a deep breath and said: Blood-sucking moth!Although he tried his best to stabilize his voice, Du Xiaotian and Yang Xun could still hear the fear in his voice.The expressions of the two changed immediately.Yang Xun blurted out: Blood-sucking moth?Chang Huhua said in a deep voice: Thousands of blood-sucking moths, one skeleton!Skeleton!Du Xiaotian couldn't help exclaiming in surprise. Yang Xun then asked: Whose skeleton is it?Chang Huhua didn't answer, turned her head and shouted: Cui Yi!Cui Yi just stood aside blankly, his complexion already turned blue, and he almost jumped up when he called Chang Huhua.He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "What orders does Master Chang have?"Chang Huhua said: "Where are there lights, bring me two!"yes!Cui Yi hurriedly retreated, but Yang Xun took two steps forward, but didn't ask any more questions.This small room is already like this, but of course the attic is even darker. Even if it is not, there is a window in the attic, and the light is as bright as day. Now that a person has become a skeleton, how can he recognize his true face.Of course Yang Xun has figured this out now, because he is not a big fool.

There are already lights in the room, exactly two.Cui Yicai lit the lamp, Yang Xun and Du Xiaotian couldn't wait, walked over and snatched the lamp in his hands.The two sharp long knives came out of their sheaths with a clang.Du Xiaotian and Yang Xun hold the lamp in their left hand and the knife in their right hand, and when they come back with one stride, they will grab the steps!They are more impatient than Chang Huhua.Chang Huhua didn't compete with them. At this moment, his complexion returned to normal. He didn't even move his footsteps. He just pressed his hand on the sword. The sword was still in the sheath, but the sword energy seemed to be out of the sheath. hair.His eyes, of course, fell on the door of the attic.

The door has been picked open!Yang Xun's knife.He was the first one to rush up the steps, opened the door with the knife in his right hand, and sent the lamp in with his left hand!The dim light turned green in an instant!But in an instant, the lampshade was covered with moths!A moth that is green and crystal clear like jasper, but whose eyes are as red as fresh blood, a blood-sucking moth!The lampshade turned into a mothshade, and the light passing through the green moth body also turned green!Countless blood-sucking moths rushed out almost at the same time, and the sound of rustling wings was like the devil's laughter!Those blood-sucking moths are simply like the incarnation of the devil!Immediately, Yang Xun's eyes saw a patch of emerald green and countless spots of blood red, and his ears only heard the rustling sound of wings like a devil's laughter!He stood in front of the door, and a large group of blood-sucking moths rushed towards him!The terrifying scene at this moment cannot be described by any words.The fear in Yang Xun's heart at this moment is also indescribable.He closed his eyes involuntarily, and blurted out an exclamation!A heart-piercing exclamation, an exclamation of extreme fear!This exclamation was equally terrifying, and it didn't sound like a human voice.

The blood-sucking moths lying on the lampshade seemed to be frightened by the sound, and they all flew up from the lampshade, fluttering in the air!Just at this moment, a large group of blood-sucking moths had already pounced on Yang Xun's body and face!Although Yang Xun closed his eyes tightly, he seemed to feel tingling pain on his body, and his nose seemed to smell blood!They want to suck my blood!Yang Xun's heart was broken, he yelled again, put his head in his hands, turned around and retreated quickly!He has thrown away even the knife and the lamp!He even forgot to stand on the ladder, turned around and immediately fell down the ladder!Du Xiaotian followed closely behind Yang Xun, he was already stunned by the scene in front of him, he didn't know how to support Yang Xun at all!Even if I help, I can't help it.Yang Xun rolled down like a gourd, rolling on Du Xiaotian's body.Du Xiaotian couldn't help but also turned into a gourd.In front of Chang Huhua, there were two more ground gourds.

He didn't step forward to help, nor did he draw his sword, and stood there blankly.His hand was still on the sword, but he seemed to have forgotten that it was a sword, and he had forgotten what he was going to do.He was ready to strike, and the sword was ready to strike at any time, but at that moment, even he was stupefied by the terrifying scene in front of him.Cui Yi, the two maidservants who waited on Mr. Yi Zhu, and the dozen or so capes outside the door all turned expressionless and exclaimed repeatedly.Among them, some people have run away with their heads in their arms, and some have been limp on the ground. It seems that there is only one exception, Mr. Yi Zhu!Mr. Yi Zhu had no expression on his face, still like a clay bodhisattva.The only thing that changed was her complexion, which was already pale, now even paler, as pale as a dead person.

The lamps had been overturned and extinguished, both of them.The group of moths seemed to have lost their target because of this, and they flew around the room, but only for a moment, they suddenly gathered together and flew to the door of the small room!There is skylight outside the door. Although moths like to fight fire, they are very afraid of skylight, so they lie down at night and come out at night.These blood-sucking moths seem to be an exception. Where are they going to fly?No one paid any attention to this question, everyone seemed to be possessed, watching those blood-sucking moths fly away, Chang Huhua was the same.The group of moths finally flew away, the sound of rustling wings disappeared, and the silence returned inside and outside.All the sounds were silent, and even the sound of breathing was almost inaudible.Everyone seems to have become an idiot, an embarrassing dead silence.

The air in the small room was already not very fresh, but now there was a strange stench, an unspeakable stench.The stench seems to be emanating from the attic. Is it the smell of moths or corpses?One of the maids beside Mr. Yi Zhu suddenly vomited because he couldn't bear the stench.All that was vomited out was bitter water.This kind of vomiting seems to have brought back everyone's soul.Chang Huhua let out a long breath, took two steps forward, and picked up a lamp on the ground.This lamp was alright, but the other one had been broken, so he took flints and lit the core of the lamp.At the same time as the lights came on, Yang Xun and Du Xiaotian got up from the ground one after another.They don't appear to be broken. Yang Xun's face was pale, his lips were trembling, and it took him a long time to make a sound, and said: "Then that's a blood-sucking moth?"It was Du Xiaotian's voice that seemed to leak out from between his teeth.Yang Xun suddenly raised his finger and pointed at his face, and said in a trembling voice: "Look, is there anything wrong with my face?"Du Xiaotian's eyes fell on Yang Xun's face.When Chang Huhua heard about it, she couldn't help but also stepped forward, and the lamp in her hand shone on it.The light illuminated Yang Xun's face.Yang Xun's face immediately flashed with a faint green light.On his face, here and there, there are patches of blue and white moth powder, just moth powder, no blood.Yang Xun said: Is there any bloodshed?Du Xiaotian said: "No."Yang Xun breathed a sigh of relief, took out a handkerchief from his bosom, and wiped it off his face.Du Xiaotian glanced at the entrance of the small room, and said: It seems that there may be thousands of blood-sucking moths.Chang Huhua nodded and said: Yes.Du Xiaotian turned his eyes, turned back to the attic, and said: So many blood-sucking moths are gathered in the attic, what are they doing?Before Chang Huhua could answer, Yang Xun had already put down his handkerchief, and screamed strangely, saying: They are eating people.When these words came out, even he himself could not help but shudder a few times. Chang Huhua's face paled on the spot when he heard that, Du Xiaotian also asked with a pale face: "What did you say?"eat human?Yang Xun continued tremblingly: When I sent the lamps in, they were lying on top of a dead body, chewing creakingly!Chang Huhua shuddered and said: Is it a corpse or a skeleton?Yang Xun said: I think it is a corpse.The moths have flown away, let's go up and have a look!Chang Huhua turned the light in her hand, shining it on the attic, then started, walked past Yang Xun, and stepped on the steps again.This man is really courageous.Du Xiaotian was quite courageous, he followed Chang Huhua closely, his knife was still in his hand, he was holding the handle of the knife hard, his palms were covered with cold sweat.Yang Xun didn't dare to take the lead this time, but with two pioneers, he couldn't help but become more courageous.What's more, if you don't go up before all the subordinates, you will really lose your face.So he had no choice but to bite the bullet, picked up the saber that fell on the ground, and stepped on the ladder again. The ladder was also quite solid, but the weight of the three people was really heavy. When Yang Xun walked up it, it creaked.This is also a terrifying sound.Although Yang Xun knew that it was the sound from the ladder, he couldn't help but feel chills when he heard it.Because he was worried that the ladder would snap off suddenly and turn into a gourd again.He really didn't want to make a fool of himself in front of his subordinates anymore.Fortunately, at this time, Chang Huhua had left the ladder and stepped into the attic. The light from one lamp is barely enough.This time the lights did not turn green, and not a single blood-sucking moth was seen in the attic. It seemed that they really flew away completely.As soon as he stepped into the attic, the stench became more intense and disgusting.Chang Huhua couldn't hold it back and didn't vomit, but her whole body was already shaking.The resemblance in front of me is beyond the description of horror.Although he has practiced his night eyes, he is not so clear under the light. The first time he opened the door to peep, he only saw a silhouette vaguely and knew what it was.Now he really knows that things are not as simple as he said before.Under the dim light, he clearly saw a corpse, but it was also a skeleton.Earlier he said he saw a skeleton, but Yang Xun said he saw a corpse. Neither of the two facts was wrong, but they were not very appropriate.There is no proper word to describe it. The corpse was cross-legged on the floor in the middle of the attic, and the body below the neck was still flesh.The head above the neck has become a skeleton.A pale skeleton, emitting a gloomy light under the light.There are no eyeballs in the eye sockets, but there are flickering green flames like will-o'-the-wisps.While Chang Huhua was staring at the skeleton, the two eye sockets in the skull seemed to be staring at him.There are obviously no eyeballs in the eye sockets, but there still seem to be eyeballs, which can still express the feelings in the heart.At this moment, Chang Huhua vaguely felt a strong resentment leaking from those empty eye sockets.He shivered, the nose of the skeleton was just a dark cave, and the mouth of the skeleton no longer had a mouth!The teeth are still intact, and its mouth is open, as if it is cursing something, its eyes are full of venom, and the curse in its mouth should be vicious.There was no tongue in the mouth, and a misty white air was exhaled faintly from the pitch-black mouth.Corpse gas, the skeleton's jaw finally has some muscles, it's okay if those muscles are not there.Because these muscles are not like muscles at all, but like shredded jellyfish, hanging under the jaw one by one, as if they have been violently torn by something.Are those blood-sucking moths not only sucking human blood, but also eating human flesh? It's just flesh, no blood, those muscles not only look like jellyfish in appearance, but also in essence, shining with a heart-pounding light, and the lower end looks like water is about to drip.Corpse water, the same wet and greasy corpse water dripped on the skull, but it shone with blue-white phosphorescence.The bluish-white moth powder almost covered the entire skull.The clothes worn by the corpse were also covered with bluish-white moth powder.The clothes were still intact, but the hands exposed outside the sleeves were pale skeletons.These hands hold a sword impressively!The tip of the sword was deeply embedded in the floor, and the body of the sword had been bent like a rainbow. It seemed that the corpse did not fall down because of the help of this sword.The sword is more than three feet long, it is a soft sword, and there are seven shining star-shaped hidden weapons embedded in the body of the sword, the seven-star deadly sword!Du Xiaotian caught a glimpse and couldn't help but exclaimed.Yang Xun stepped into the attic one after another, his eyes fell on the hilt of the sword in response, and he blurted out and asked: Is this really his Seven Star Sword?Chang Huhua replied.Can't fake it. He paused and continued: This is Xuanjizi's family heirloom sword. Xuanjizi passed it down from one generation to the next, and the generation of Xuanjizi will lose all respect. That's why he passed this sword to him. In fact, he is not just Xuanjizi. Xuanjizi's adopted son.Yang Xun said: "The sword is his sword, and the corpse is also his corpse?"Chang Huhua sighed and said: As far as I know, there are words engraved on both sides of the hilt of this sword.Even with the sword in hand, Du Xiaotian couldn't help sighing.Chang Huhua continued: He has always regarded this sword as his own life. If he still has life, I believe he will never give up this sword. Now this sword is held in the hands of that corpse, but he himself He happened to disappear again, so who else is he?Du Xiaotian said: "That's what I mean too, let alone Yang Xun asked: What's more?"Du Xiaotian said: "On the evening of the fifteenth day, that is, when I saw him for the last time, he was wearing the same suit that the corpse is wearing now!" Chang Huhua's complexion really changed.Even though he said that just now, he still had the idea of ​​what to do in his heart.Yang Xun also changed his color again and again. He also did not believe that there was such a coincidence in the world.But he still asked: Do you remember correctly?Du Xiaotian said: "If the boss still has doubts, you can ask Fu Biao and Yao Kun to identify them. They were both present at the time."Yang Xun said: No need, I know your memory has always been very good.He suddenly turned his head to stare at Du Xiaotian.Du Xiaotian has been with him for so long, he already knows his habits very well, he knows that he has something to do by himself, so he said: "What orders does the boss have?"Yang Xun rubbed his chin and said: Go over and see if the eight characters are engraved on the hilt of that sword.Du Xiaotian changed his expression and said: Huh?The hilt of the sword was in the hands of the corpse, and to read the words on the hilt, the hands of the corpse had to be opened first, no wonder he changed color on the spot.Although this is the dead body of his good friend, although he has held these hands more than once before he was alive, but now it has become like this, seeing it is disgusting, how can he do it? But Yang Xun obviously made up his mind, he must do that to Du Xiaotian, and then said: "Haven't you heard what I said clearly?"Du Xiaotian sighed and said: I'll go right away.His eyes immediately fell on the skull.This was the first time he had looked at the skull face to face.The miserable green flames in the skull's eye sockets seemed to burst into flames immediately, as if they had noticed Du Xiaotian's gaze, and stared back at him.The resentment in the eye sockets also seemed to be heavier.The corpse aura between the skull's teeth also seemed to grow stronger at the same time, as if warning Du Xiaotian not to touch his corpse, otherwise, his vicious curse would fall on Du Xiaotian.Even though Du Xiaotian was bold, he couldn't help but feel chilled.He has been a police officer for more than ten years, and he has come into contact with quite a few corpses, but this is the first time he has encountered such a terrifying corpse.He still walked over, which was unavoidable to him. The closer the corpse is, the more smelly it is. Du Xiaotian has so much experience, just smelling the smell of this corpse, he knows that it is a corpse that has been dead for at least two days.Cui Beihai's disappearance took more than two days, but less than three days.The same clothes and the same weapon, this is undoubtedly Cui Beihai's body.He absolutely believed Chang Huhua's words.It seems that there is no reason why a master like Chang Huhua can't even distinguish a sword, let alone the owner of this sword is an old friend of Chang Huhua.Chang Huhua should be very familiar with this sword.Since the sword was Cui Beihai's, of course those eight characters were engraved on the hilt.However, he still had to go through the procedures, so he didn't object to Yang Xun's approach. The only thing he objected to was doing it by himself.This is not up to him to object.He walked up a few steps, Tanhuai took out a handkerchief, and wrapped his right hand.His nose has been wrinkled, his eyes have moved down to the hands of the dead body, his eyes are narrowed, and the things in his eyes have become hazy because of this.Those hands were not so scary after all. He stretched out his left hand and pinched the sword's breech, and at the same time stretched out his right hand to hold the left hand of the dead body.Even through a folded handkerchief, he still felt that what he was holding was only bones.At this moment, the corpse smell seemed to be a little stronger.Du Xiaotian resisted and tried to pull that hand away. He had already used enough strength, but he still couldn't pull that hand away from the hilt.He tried to pull the other hand again, but couldn't pull it away.The hands of the dead body were clenched tightly on the hilt of the sword.The sword would undoubtedly never be inserted into those hands after death.A dead man can never hold a sword so tightly, and this man obviously died holding the sword in his hand.If this sword is really the Seven Star Desperate Sword, isn't this person Cui Beihai?Only Cui Beihai would regard the Seven Star Desperate Sword as his life, and would not let it go even if he died. The corpse water soaked the handkerchief in a moment.The cold corpse water stained the skin, and it felt like holding several earthworms that had just been dug out of the mud.Du Xiaotian shivered from his heart, and he shivered for countless times.He barely suppressed the feeling of terror, and turned to pull the phalanges of those hands.The phalanges of those hands seemed to be deeply embedded in the hilt of the sword.He pulled it hard again, rattled three times, and the three fingers he was holding broke at the same time!It was beyond Du Xiaotian's expectation that the bones of a person who did not fall down after three days of death would become so fragile.Holding the three broken phalanxes, he shuddered again, unable to hold on any longer.After all, this was the body of his good friend. He really didn't want this good friend to turn into a fingerless ghost after death.Although he has never believed in the legend of people turning into ghosts after death, after seeing a series of strange things these days, he no longer dares to deny this kind of legend.There will be moth spirits, and of course there will be ghosts, he was stunned on the spot. Yang Xun saw it over there and blurted out, "What happened?"Du Xiaotian didn't look back, and said: "It's nothing, I just accidentally broke three phalanges."Yang Xun asked again: Are there those eight characters on the hilt?Du Xiaotian said: "I haven't got the sword yet."Yang Xun said: Oh?Du Xiaotian sighed to himself, hardened his heart, sank his right hand, pierced it and supported it, forced the corpse's hands up, pinched the sword's left hand and grabbed it out at the same time.Ge Ge broke two fingers again, and finally he forcibly snatched the sword from the hands of the dead body.The dead body immediately fell to the ground, but fortunately Du Xiaotian grasped the dead body's hands in time, so it didn't fall to the floor.At this moment, two lines of foul-smelling corpse water suddenly gushed out of the two hollow eye sockets of the skull.It's like two lines of tears. Could it be that the dead body still feels the pain of a severed finger? Du Xiaotian saw it in his eyes, and his heart was full of horror and emotion. He barely straightened the corpse, took two steps back, turned around, and his eyes fell on the hilt of the sword.Sure enough, those eight characters were engraved on the hilt.The sword is with the people, and the sword is dead and the people are dead!There is no doubt that this is Cui Beihai's Seven Stars Desperate Sword, who else would it be?Yang Xun stared at Yu, who was on the hilt of the sword, and couldn't help sighing: the sword is there, and the sword is dead, but now the sword is dead!Chang Huhua's eyes had also fallen on the hilt of the sword, but she didn't express anything.Yang Xun glanced at Chang Huhua, then suddenly turned and walked out.Turning around and taking a step, he bumped into someone.Cui Yi!At some point, Cui Yi came in, staring straight at the corpse with a look of grief and indignation.In his eyes, it seemed that only the corpse existed, and he didn't know that Yang Xun turned around, and the whole person was knocked to the ground by Yang Xun immediately.Yang Xun's body swayed again and again, but he didn't fall down.Cui Yi didn't stand up, but bowed down, prostrated himself there, and said: Master Yang, you must be the master of my family!Yang Xun steadied his body and said: Need to say this?He immediately stepped over Cui Yi and ran down the steps.
