Qiu Louyan chatted with me for a while and advised: "Now that you are back, have a good sleep and don't think too much. There must be a road to the mountain before the car, and there will always be a way. I will prepare hot water for you."

Water, take a bath."

"Okay." I put my arm around Qiu Louyan's slim waist, gave it a tight squeeze, and said with a smile, "I've really missed you these past few days."

"I hate it." After saying that, Qiu Louyan stood up and left, walking into the bathroom with a smile on her face.

I lay in the bathtub and continued to meditate. What Xu Duobao told me today may not be a coincidence, "The appearance of this soul-suppressing mirror is very strange, but I am not sure yet, which group of tomb robbers is there?"

What kind of person is behind the scenes? Is it too risky to get involved rashly? At least, we have to find out the details behind the scenes."

"It's really annoying. I ran into trouble again just after I came back." I feel a little irritated. I'm always disturbed by these trivial things recently, and I almost don't have any time for myself.

But at this moment, the phone suddenly rang.

"Lin Kun, your phone number!" Qiu Louyan shouted outside.

"Who called?" I was about to ask, but unexpectedly, Qiu Louyan opened the door and walked in.

I immediately submerged myself into the bathtub. Qiu Louyan rolled her eyes at me and said angrily, "It's not like I haven't seen it before. That officer Ren called me."

I answered the phone and wondered: "Why is Ren Yonghai calling? Has the tomb robber been caught?"

Full of questions, I answered the phone.

"Hello? What's wrong with Lao Ren?"

"Lin Kun, good news!"

"What's the good news? From what you say, do you think the tomb robbers have something to look forward to?"

Unexpectedly, Ren Yonghai said on the other end of the phone, "No, no!"

"No? What good news is that?"

"The case has been merged!" Ren Yonghai said happily.

"Join the case?" I became more and more puzzled, and stood up from the bathtub unconsciously, without any concern that Qiu Louyan was standing next to me.

Qiu Louyan glanced at me in surprise, expressing surprise at my unconcealed behavior. Then she burst out laughing and walked out on her own.

"What's going on? I'm confused."

"Do you remember the theft of corpses from the hospital?"

"remember."

"Originally, these two cases were impossible to solve. However, when I was reading the files today, I unexpectedly discovered that the stolen corpses have an unusual connection with the ancient tomb case!"

After hearing what he said, I immediately became interested, and my cerebral cortex was as active as if I had been on stimulants.

"Please speak more clearly, what's going on?!"

"Hey, this incident is also to blame for the carelessness of our policemen who handled the case. In fact, it should have been discovered a long time ago." Ren Yonghai said, "The stolen body worked as a driver at the Cultural Relics Research Institute before his death. Just before his accident, he also

I once visited an ancient tomb excavation site.”

"What?!"

After being shocked, I seemed to see a bigger scene under the iceberg.

What Ren Yonghai just said may not be directly relevant in the eyes of others, but to the criminal police investigating the crime, it is quite suspicious. People appearing in the same place at the same time must not be regarded as

Accidental individuals.

"In response to this key clue, we have decided to investigate the case together. We believe there will be a breakthrough soon."

"Great, Lao Ren, what do you think the truth will be like?" I asked impatiently.

"Until the truth comes out, I doubt everything."

"Then do you have any other clues?"

"It really does."

"Tell me quickly."

"The reputation of the deceased in the archaeological institute is not very good. I also consulted Yaxian, and she said that the driver was always elusive when working. When the leader did not have travel tasks, he always liked to wander around the unit, looking for people everywhere.

Chatting, asking about this and that, and some people have seen him sneaking into the archives room to check information.

After being bumped into by someone, he claimed that he was resting inside."

"Good guy, this guy is obviously trying to get information."

"Who says it's not the case?" Ren Yonghai agreed with me. "I now seriously suspect that this guy cheated on others and secretly colluded with the tomb robbing organization to plan this tomb robbing incident."

"According to what you said, this guy was the instigator. As a result, he failed to rob the tomb and lost his life. But, what was his motive? We have analyzed before that this group of tomb robbers are not ordinary peasants. They

I’m going for the ‘Five Secret Arts’.”

Ren Yonghai said on the other end of the phone: "Although there are no other clues yet, no matter what his purpose is, this group of people has already revealed their heads. We are not afraid that we will not be able to catch them!"

Recently, everyone in the hospital feels that Lao Youxin, a veteran employee who has been in the hospital for eleven years, seems to be a little distracted.

When others greeted him, he often didn't hear them. Some people even saw him wandering back and forth at the door of the morgue, as if he was looking for something.

Lao Youxin's unusual behavior made everyone in the hospital a little suspicious. There were even rumors that the morgue was haunted and that Lao Youxin was frightened by ghosts.

There are many myths and legends about places like hospitals, especially the morgue, which has always been the birthplace of ghost stories.

How many corpses have been pretending to be corpses there, and how many weird stories have been staged there, but no one has ever actually seen a ghost.

So the rumors are still rumors, and not many people believe them. Most people think that the leader was very annoyed by the case of the body being stolen not long ago, so he gave Lao Youxin, the gatekeeper, some shoes to wear, and this happened.

He is mentally disturbed.

However, Lao Youxin himself found that something was really wrong recently in the morgue he had been watching for eleven years.

It's past three in the morning, and Lao Youxin is the only one in the duty room.

It rained today. It started raining at eight or nine o'clock in the evening and has not stopped till now. The sound of pouring rain is a bit annoying.

Lao Youxin raised his head and looked out the window. All he could see was the dark clouds and the gloomy darkness between heaven and earth. Even the bright street lights in the past looked a little dim in such weather, as if they had shrunk into a small ball.

The small ball of light cannot even illuminate a few meters around it.

But these are not the most annoying things. What makes Lao Youxin feel more upset is the sound of footsteps that often come from the morgue.

Yes, it came from the locked morgue.

Recently, Lao Youxin discovered that his inexplicable memory loss suddenly improved. But then, many strange things suddenly appeared around him. Especially late at night, he always felt that something was staring at him from behind.

seemingly.

Several times, Lao Youxin suddenly turned around, but there was only a blank wall behind him and nothing.

"Namo Amitabha, don't blame me. I'm just a gatekeeper. No matter what grievances you have or what unfulfilled wishes you have, don't come to me. It's useless to come to me. I can't help you." .”

Lao Youxin was sitting on a chair, with an amulet he had obtained from nowhere hanging around his neck, holding a Buddhist scripture in his hand, and murmuring to himself.

He was really frightened these past few days. At night, he felt a little paranoid, fearing that those inexplicable voices would suddenly start ringing again. But he didn’t want to quit a job with good salary and benefits. At his age, If you go out to look for a job, where can you find it? You can only find one here.

However, whatever you fear will come true.

The hour hand quietly approached 3:17 in the morning, and a strange atmosphere quietly spread around the morgue.

Lao Youxin, who had been reciting Buddhist scriptures, suddenly stopped, turned his ears, and listened to the sounds from the outside world.

There was no sound around, it was deathly silence.

Lao Youxin's heart suddenly trembled, and he looked up tremblingly out of the window. The street lights had been extinguished at some point, and there was a thick cloud of ink outside.

The darkness that cannot be broken away.

But through the weak optical fiber leaking out of the window, Lao Youxin could clearly see that the rain continued to fall from the sky.

It was still raining outside, why couldn't I hear anything? Lao Youxin suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

"Hee hee." At this moment, a slightly childish laughter suddenly sounded in the morgue. It sounded like the laughter of a child.

Lao Youxin's face suddenly turned pale.

Of course there can't be children in the morgue, so what is it that is making laughter in it now?

"Namo Amitabha, I didn't hear anything. It's all an illusion. All of this is an illusion." Lao Youxin's whole body was trembling, and he was mumbling something while cold sweat rolled down his forehead.

However, the things in the morgue had no intention of letting him go.

"Hee hee." After a few minutes, the permeating laughter sounded again in the morgue, and this time, it seemed to come from close to the door of the morgue. In the dead-silent corridor, it was extremely clear. It reached Lao Youxin's ears.

Now Lao Youxin couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up shakily, picked up the keys on the table, and walked out of the duty room step by step.

It wasn't that he didn't want to walk faster, it was because he was so scared that his legs were weak and he almost couldn't walk.

The ceiling light was on in the corridor, but the light was much dimmer than usual. The light that could originally illuminate the entire corridor could not even illuminate the floor of the corridor. There was only a small ball of light, lingering around the light bulb.

The entire corridor seemed to have turned into a road of no return leading to the netherworld, but for dozens of meters long, there was no light at the end.

After walking down the corridor for eleven years, I knew every brick and tile by heart, but today it suddenly became extra strange.

Lao Youxin's heart thumped unsatisfactorily, and he moved with difficulty, one step at a time, from the door of the morgue.

Of course he didn't go to the morgue to check the situation. He went in even though he knew there was something strange inside. He would be crazy to do this. Of course he ran to the hospital. Although it was early in the morning, there must be someone in the inpatient department.

As long as he could see a living person, be it a doctor, a nurse, or even a patient, he would feel at ease. With this thought in mind, Lao Youxin walked past the morgue door without squinting. .

"Hee hee." Just halfway through, this horrible ghostly laughter came to my ears again. This time, it was as if something was attached to my ears and I was laughing.

Lao Youxin almost peeed out of fear. He couldn't help but glance at the door of the morgue. Fortunately, the lock was still hanging on it.

But this time, it inspired him a little bit more motivation.

Lao Youxin was excited and felt that her feet were a little stronger and less weak. She quickly quickened her pace and stumbled towards the corridor.

"No matter what is in the morgue, I must get out of here!"

One minute, two minutes...five minutes...I don’t know how long time passed. Lao Youxin’s heart felt like it had fallen to the bottom. It had been a long, long time since he had walked through the morgue, but this corridor

, actually can’t reach the end.

No one knows and is familiar with this corridor better than him. He passes it back and forth so many times every day. This corridor is only about twenty meters long. It only takes less than half a minute to walk out normally.

But now, at least ten minutes have passed, and I haven't reached the end yet.

Lao Youxin stopped. At this time, everyone knew that it must be that thing and didn't want to let him go out.

He looked back tremblingly, only to see endless darkness behind him. The lights in the duty room could no longer be seen. Only the dim light bulbs on the top lit up narrow light groups that spread into the distance.

Lao Youxin clearly remembered that he did not turn off the lights when he left the duty room.
