Chapter 14 Seizing the Body
  After entering the apartment, as soon as the elevator door opened, I happened to meet two body bearers carrying the body downstairs.

Yu Qian pretended to be casual and said to them: "Why are there still more? I'm so exhausted. I don't let anyone rest at night."

The corpse bearer on the opposite side also complained: "Yes, we have to work overtime in the middle of the night. It's really annoying. There are still several floors left to be cleaned. You should go quickly. We don't have enough manpower over there on the 43rd floor."

The body was covered tightly with white cloth, and the state of death could not be seen clearly.

"Okay." Yu Qian waved his hands in a natural manner, "Hurry up, they're urging you outside."

When the corpse bearer heard this, he said: "What the hell, they still push me? If you have the ability, let them do it by themselves. We do this kind of dirty and tiring work every time, but they still have the nerve to push me!"

The two corpse bearers cursed and walked away.

Yu Qian and Qi You walked into the elevator and pressed the button for the 43rd floor.

After coming in, I discovered that several walls on this floor had collapsed. Fortunately, the most important load-bearing walls did not collapse, otherwise the apartment would have been in danger.

Qi You was surprised: "Good boy! Is it so tragic?"

From behind the collapsed wall, you could see a large amount of blood in the room inside. The furniture was turned into pieces, and the body was pressed underneath with exposed limbs. It was a mess as far as the eye could see.

Yu Qian walked into a room, pretended to move the body, took off his mask and smelled: "There is no smell of gunpowder smoke."

The accident here had nothing to do with thermal weapons, and it was not reported at all in the news.

"They must be cultivators like us." Qi You was a little worried, "Why are they so strong?"

Yu Qian looked around: "It's not too outrageous. Only a few rooms nearby are more serious. They may be the work of the same person."

She removed the bricks that were pressing on the body, dragged the body out, and quietly fumbled in the body's pocket, and quietly pulled out a white card.

She nodded to Qi You: "Go and carry out the body over there so that it can be carried down later."

Qi You immediately understood what she meant.

The two of them carried the card and carried the body to the elevator.

The elevator descends slowly.

"I think..." Qi You started, but the words were stuck in his throat before he could finish his words. His eyes suddenly widened, he let go of the stretcher, took a step back and shouted, "Fuck!"

Yu Qian was carrying the stretcher. As soon as he let go, the weight was all in her hands, and the body instantly slid down: "What are you doing?"

"Just...just now he touched my hand!" Qi You pointed at the body and said.

His face was blue, and he was obviously very frightened: "This guy's head has been split open, he can't die anymore!"

Yu Qian looked at the motionless body on the ground: "Is there something wrong with you? Lift it up quickly and go downstairs."

"But I was really... okay just now." Qi You saw that the body had been on the ground for a long time without any abnormality, so he had to reach out to lift the other end of the stretcher.

Just at this moment.

The white cloth suddenly moved.

His hand immediately retracted.

Yu Qian decisively let go and took a few steps back. The body and the stretcher fell to the ground.

"I, I, I'll just say it! He really moved just now!" Qi You clung to the wall, "He faked his body!"

The corpse under the white cloth seemed to come to life, and the position of its hands moved.

Yu Qian hooked the white cloth with his foot: "Maybe he's not dead."

A pale hand stained with blood suddenly grabbed her ankle.

"Ah——" screams sounded in the elevator.

Yu Qian glared at Qi You: "It's my foot you grabbed, not yours. What's your name?"

Maybe he did feel a little embarrassed, Qi You was a little embarrassed: "I'll call for you."

She freed her hand and opened the white cloth covering it.

The body lay peacefully in place, without any movement.

"What's going on?" Qi You couldn't believe his eyes, "I just saw him move! He even grabbed your feet!" Yu Qian kicked the body, but there was no reaction: "I know, but... …”

She raised her head, her eyes fell behind Qi You, and she stopped talking.

Qi You looked at her: "What's wrong with you? Don't scare me?"

"You...is there something behind me? But behind me is the elevator..."

His face was extremely ugly, and he stayed close to the elevator. If there was something behind him...

"Come here." Yu Qian said.

Qi You didn't dare to look back. He walked to Yu Qian with hands and feet, then turned around stiffly and looked at where he was standing: "What is that?"

His legs were weak, and his voice was very low, as if he would be heard if he spoke louder.

A figure suddenly appeared on the reflective wall of the elevator. It was a pure white figure with no facial features or hair.

Yu Qian looked back at the wall behind him, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he said, "Do you still remember the figure we saw in the attic?"

Qi You cursed in a low voice: "It followed us here!?"

"I don't know." She glanced at the elevator, "When you get there, just leave and ignore the body."

The figure before was still physical, but now it actually appeared on the elevator, as if it were a reflection.

The two of them stared at the elevator wall without blinking.

"Ding--"

The elevator reaches the first floor.

The moment the elevator stopped, the figure seemed to melt and suddenly flowed down from the opposite wall to the ground, like a super-large melted ice cream.

Qi You jumped up: "It's coming!"

The elevator door opens.

The melted white swam towards the corpse on the ground, then slowly emerged from the reflection on the ground, slowly clinging to the corpse, and then completely wrapped the corpse.

This is a very nerve-challenging picture - a flat object suddenly comes to life and becomes three-dimensional.

Then the body wrapped in white suddenly moved, its waist arched upward, trying to stand up in a twisted posture.

Yu Qian rushed out immediately: "Let's go!"

Qi You also ran out without looking back.

The corpse bearers outside the apartment were all busy, and no one noticed the two people leaving empty-handed.

Yu Qian walked to the unoccupied car at the end and quickly took off his protective clothing.

Qi You threw the clothes into the car: "What the hell is that!"

"Did he just possess that corpse?" The panic on his face hadn't dissipated yet, "That corpse was about to stand up just now!"

Yu Qian put on his hat: "Let's go first."

The two quickly returned to the car.

Qi You changed to a cheerful song and barely diluted the fear just now: "Is it because you saw this thing in the alley before?"

Yu Qian nodded: "But it was physical at that time, almost like a human being, but without facial features."

"Oh my God!" Qi You leaned back on the chair as if he had no strength. "This thing can get into the body, just like a ghost! Now I believe that the reporter you said you saw is actually a dead person!"

"It's so scary. Can it also possess living people?"

Yu Qian recalled: "It's not like possession, it's like devouring."

"It ate, or replaced, the body."

Qi You thought of a word: "Seize the body!?"
