Chapter 184 Undead in Flames (9)

2pm late at night.

Although the hot spring in Jinshan Sanatorium is open 24 hours, people have dispersed at this time. After all, there are many other entertainment activities that are more suitable for late night.

Water vapor condenses on the roof of the hot spring pool, forming upside-down water droplets, which fall from time to time, pattering.

Yan Ruyu and Wu Cuo tiptoed through the accommodation area, and then through the noisy KTV area to the hot spring.

A person was taking a bath, and there was a waiter standing beside him, who seemed to be serving him exclusively.

This person immediately attracted all the attention of Yan Ruyu and Wu Cuo, he was so different.

When Yan Ruyu and Wu Cuo arrived, he was facing the two of them, leaning his head against the edge of the hot spring pool, revealing a bald and bony scalp.

burn!Very bad burns!

The scar is reflected by the light, almost blending with the water light.

With such a guest, it's no wonder the others shy away.

The arrival of Yan Ruyu and Wu Cuo did not attract that person's attention, but the waiter at the side glanced at them.

The two walked to the other side of the hot spring pool, entered the water, separated from the bald head by the water vapor in the pool, and could only vaguely see a figure.

Through the dense water vapor, Wu Cuo saw that the man's face was completely changed, the right ear was completely gone, and there was only a small bump on the left ear.

Yan Ruyu patted Wu Cuo under the water, signaling him not to stare at him all the time. His behavior had already caused the waiter to look at the two of them warily.

Wu Cuo simply said to the waiter, "Can you bring us some wine?"

The waiter said politely: "For drinks, you have to go to the front desk to order by yourself."

"Oh."

Wu Cuo ignored him, and pretended to swim in the hot spring pool.

He deliberately swam towards the bald head, got close, and then turned back, repeating three times.

At first he was bald and eyes closed, not noticing him.

When Wu Cuo swam over for the third time, he finally opened his eyes.

The two looked at each other.

Wu Cuo nodded politely to the bald head.

The bald head also nodded as a return gift.

However, just when the bald head was about to nod his head for the second time, a strangeness flashed in his eyes.

He just looked at Wu Cuo firmly.

Surprised, confused, unbelievable, wished for... Surging emotions tightly enveloped Wu Cuo through his eyes, making Wu Cuo dare not look directly.

For a moment, Wu Cuo even forgot to paddle, and when his mouth and nose were about to be submerged, he realized that he had lost his composure.

wow-

The gaze only lasted for half a second, and the water came out of his bald head, revealing the burns all over his body.

As if afraid of being seen, he quickly took the bath towel from the waiter and wrapped himself up.

When he left the hot spring, he deliberately didn't look back.

Wu Cuo in the pool was already in deep shock. He knew this person, and he was very sure.

"Did you see clearly?" Yan Ruyu leaned over and asked with a smile.

When he asked, Wu who was in a daze was startled by a mistake.

Yan Ruyu explained: "I was still young at that time, and I hadn't seen Uncle Zhuo a few times. In addition, this man was severely burned and his face was beyond recognition. I really couldn't recognize him. Look..."

"It's him!" Wu Cuo replied very confidently.

"So sure?" Yan Ruyu was a little puzzled.

"Uh-huh!"

"Is there any obvious feature?"

"Forehead……"

"Old Wu, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, I'm fine. It's just... I saw him suddenly... He's not dead yet... After so many years, he's been living like a ghost... I feel a little... I can't say it."

Wu Cuo walked out of the hot spring pool, took a few handfuls of cold water and flushed his face.

Yan Ruyu followed, "I know your mood must be very complicated. I couldn't believe it at first, but now, Old Wu, listen to me. You must tell me an obvious feature. We must first find out, what is he? Is it Uncle Zhuo?"

Yan Ruyu took a few deep breaths.

"Do I still remember? Once when I was a child, my dad and Uncle Zhuo took me to swim. I was going to take you too, but you had a fever and couldn't go."

"There's such a thing, I'm still crying at home." Yan Ruyu nodded.

"I remember very clearly that Uncle Zhuo had a thigh—I can't remember exactly whether it was the left leg or the right leg—anyway, there was a deep scar, which was scary.

That day I kept staring at his scar, and he teased me, saying it was bitten by a dog when I was a child.Later, when I grew up a bit, my dad told me that Uncle Zhuo's leg injury was caused by gangsters while performing a mission.

I remember the look of that scar, trident shaped.

When the man was out of the water just now, I noticed that he had a relatively minor burn on his leg. "

"A scar? Did you see it?"

"I saw it."

"Same as Uncle Zhuo's scar?"

"I don't have such a good memory, so I dare not say it's exactly the same, but that person's scar is also trident-shaped! Moreover, the location... seems to be the same."

Most of the people who escaped from the sea of ​​fire 20 years ago have been found!

Before the two could breathe a sigh of relief, more questions had already swept in.

How did he spend these years?
Who arranged for him to live here?

And who is watching him?
What happened 20 years ago?
Does he still remember Yan Ruyu and Wu Cuo?
Will he tell them the answer?
"Go back first, my mind is a little messed up." Wu wrongly said.

This is destined to be a rough night.

The two lay down separately, but they tossed and turned sleeplessly together, like pancakes.

Yan Ruyu tried to speak, and communicated doubts with Wu Cuo, but Wu Cuo just hummed twice as an agreement.

"I'm going out to smoke a cigarette." Wu Cuo got up suddenly and said, regardless of whether Yan Ruyu had just finished speaking.

This was the first time he interrupted Yan Ruyu's analysis, and usually he listened patiently to Yan Ruyu's speech.

"together."

"I want to be alone."

"..."

After Wu left by mistake, Yan Ruyu was even more sleepless.

On the one hand, he had too many doubts, and he didn't know how to approach Uncle Zhuo. On the other hand, Wu Cuo's emotional disturbance also made him faintly worried. Finally, in the bottom of his heart, he still had some doubts about himself:
That is the person who lived and died with his parents, and now seeing him alive——living like this, shouldn't I be sad?Wu Cuo's reaction is what a normal human being should have, right?
Am I such a cold-blooded person?

This was the first time Yan Ruyu felt upset.

Usually, no matter how difficult a case is, he can see clearly from the perspective of an outsider, but now that he has turned his attention to himself, this hurdle may not be so easy to pass.

A feeling of unease came over him, and he even instinctively felt the danger.

Maybe we should try to get out of the nursing home as much as possible, in the long run.

However, it seems to be too late.

An hour later, Wu Cuo, who went out to smoke, still didn't come back.When I called him, the phone was simply forgotten on the bedside table.

Where has he gone?
After smoking a cigarette to relax?still……

Yan Ruyu didn't dare to think about it any further.

He got up and dressed, and went out the door.

Compared with the feasting and feasting KTV area, the large courtyard of the nursing home is very quiet.

Could it be... to find Uncle Zhuo?
　Let’s make an update today, I’ve been lacking in sleep for the past two days, well, I’ll make up for it tomorrow.
