Treacherous Collector

Chapter 37

Lu Hao opened his arms, trying to embrace the illusory figure of his mother, but only a kitchen knife greeted him!

The boss raised the knife and slashed hard on his chest.

He knelt down on his knees and wept loudly. It turned out that the person in front of him was not his mother, but the boss with a hideous face.

The reality is like this, when you suddenly realize that you have lost your way, the person you are right is no longer there.

Wrong things can't be undone after all, even though it has haunted you for so long in various forms.

Guilt pounded Lu Hao's chest, and countless emotions rushed into his heart, which obviously didn't hurt, but seemed to be in severe pain.

He could no longer support his body like a walking corpse, and his soul might have disappeared with that sorry, he fell to the side, and his head hit the ground heavily.

"I'm sorry." He murmured softly.

There was a faint light in the car wash shop, and Lu You recognized the wind chime hanging at the door at a glance, which was exactly the same as the photo on the collection details page.

The boss raised the kitchen knife and was about to kill Lu Hao!
At the critical moment, Lu You's cell phone rang, and the incoming call prompt was "Fu Jun", and Lu You hurriedly picked it up.

An unfamiliar female voice came from the other end of the phone, which made Lu You puzzled.

"husband."

Lu You instantly had goose bumps all over his body, but the greasy man holding a kitchen knife in front of him turned his head.

It was good if he didn't turn around, but when he turned around, Lu You, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, was taken aback. The man's facial features were bloody and extremely smooth, as if he had landed on his face when he jumped off the building.

"Stop it, husband."

The pie-faced man put down the kitchen knife and walked towards Lu You step by step, his eyes that had already squeezed out of his eye sockets were fixed on Lu You's phone.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowife, wait a little longer, I'll go back and save you right away."

Lu You was puzzled, and the man was indeed infiltrating, so he slowly backed away.

"Don't come here, I'll hang up if you come here."

The threat was really effective, Lu You put the phone on the hang up button, and the man really didn't leave.

Although Lu You can't figure out anything now, according to the existing conditions, the man or male ghost should be very concerned about the "wife" on the phone.

"Pfft."

Lu You thought of something, didn't hold back for a moment, and laughed.

If this man knew that the "wife" on the other side of the phone was pretending to be Lu You's father, his frantic look would be funny.

Lu You shook his head and said "No" to his idea of ​​dying.

"Husband, come back quickly, there is water in the car."

The man's eyes lost focus, and the voice on the phone changed back to Lu You's father's voice, and he yelled anxiously:

"Ring the wind chime!"

Lu You hurriedly rang the bell, and when the male ghost heard the sound of the wind chime, he fell down on the spot and immersed himself in his own world.

Shaking it, Lu You felt that the rattle did not feel right. Looking inside the wind chime, there was indeed a key stuck inside.

Taking advantage of the old ghost's comfort, Lu You carried Lu Hao on his back and ran away. Before leaving, he didn't forget to put the padlock on the outside of the shop door.

Take the elevator to the second floor, run to the lighted food court, find a sofa and put Lu Hao down.

There seemed to be a figure flickering in the small kitchen not far away, presumably it was the Su Zizhan whom he had just met.

Touching Lu Hao's head, Lu You was so dark that Lu You's backpack was stained red with blood, Lu Hao's face was pale and he had a high fever.

Lu You hurriedly took out alcohol and bandages to treat Lu Hao's wounds to prevent further infection.

Touching the head of this 17-year-old boy, Lu You felt anxious, and suddenly remembered that he still had ibuprofen. In theory, that thing also has the effect of anti-inflammatory and anti-fever.

Hey, life and death are a matter of fate, Lu You calmed down his mind, fed ibuprofen into Lu Hao's mouth, took it with the mineral water that he just picked up from the convenience store, and took off his thin windbreaker to cover him.

Su Zizhan in the kitchen was still busy with a bowl of delicious Dongpo Pork.

Zizhan's father used to be an educated youth who went to the countryside. When he was young, he farmed and herded cattle on the east slope of a certain village. He was old enough to give his precious son a nickname - Dongpo.

Maybe because he followed his father, Su Zizhan also has an extremely optimistic attitude. Even though he is in a dangerous and weird shopping mall, he can't treat his stomach badly.

"Su Zizhan?"

Lu You's voice sounded outside the door.

"Hey! What's the matter? The dishes will be ready soon, you wait for a while."

"No, my friend was injured. Do you know where there is a pharmacy in the mall? I'll go get some anti-inflammatory drugs."

"Ah! I know, but in the North Tower, it's far away, and you can see it when you turn the escalator on the second floor of the North Tower."

"Okay, thank you, help me watch my friend, he's lying on the sofa outside, if you find any messy things, take him and run away!"

Su Zizhan was a little scared. He had been timid since he was a child. Although he was interested in those weird events, he never had the guts to understand them.

One of the reasons for applying this time is to make a living, and the other is to practice courage.

Unexpectedly, I fell into the situation of the hero in "The Hunger Platform". Hey, curiosity really killed the cat.

"It's a pity that there is no Huadiao wine, so we can only use ordinary white wine. Well, the flavor is far worse."

Su Zizhan covered the pot, turned on a low heat to simmer, and then walked out of the kitchen with the fried pork that he hadn't had time to eat before.

"Brother, you try this from me"

Just halfway through the words, the other half was frightened and swallowed back.

Lu Hao, who was originally lying on the sofa, sat up now, his pupils seemed to be covered with dust, turning gray.

"Brother, do you have cataracts?"

There was a sound of hurried footsteps in the distance, and thinking of Lu You's exhortation just now, Su Zizhan became even more frightened.

There was a "friend" with cataracts who didn't know whether it was a human or a ghost, and then "something messy" came to find him. It was really a dilemma.

A figure gradually appeared in the darkness, and Su Zizhan's hanging heart was relieved.

"Huh, so it's you, why are you back?"

With a serious expression and panting, Lu You took out the talisman that had only been burned to a small section from his bag, lit it with a lighter, then tore off the bandage on Lu Hao's chest, and smeared the dust on it.

After the medicine cured him, Lu Hao's pupils returned to normal, and his body fell down again.

Lu You squatted on the ground wiping his sweat, and explained with some embarrassment:
"It's best not to get injured in this mall, it will be infected by dirty things."

Speaking of which, the owner of the car wash shop should not be a zombie, so why would Lu Hao have a reaction similar to being poisoned by a corpse?
A black laptop gives the answer perfectly.

It turned out that Lu You was inquiring about the collection of collections in the elevator just now, and unexpectedly, three entries popped up in the illustrated book, namely "resentment", "black mist" and "lust".

After reading the entry "Black Fog", Lu You quickly realized that something was wrong, so he rushed back quickly. Fortunately, nothing serious happened.

With the previous experience, Lu You knew that this broken talisman only detoxified but not disinfected, and if he didn't take anti-inflammatory drugs, Lu Hao's life would probably be accounted for.

After a hasty farewell, he embarked on a journey of searching for medicine.
