Chapter 429 The Lost Head
"That day, I didn't go to class and sat in front of a closed restaurant for a long time."
"The initial concern from teachers and classmates was out of pity for me, but the pity and alienation in the later period was because they thought I might be crazy..."
“But the other things don’t make sense.”
"Why didn't I know my parents had passed away, why did I occasionally lose my memory, and why did I often see headless animals? These may be self-protection after a huge mental stimulation."
"But how do you explain the breakfast every morning?"
"Can this be explained away as a mental problem?"
"Students in their third year of high school don't have the time to buy groceries and cook for themselves!"
Zhao Zixuan's eyes suddenly filled with tears.
All of this is easy to explain. All of this was the protection his parents gave him. They were too busy with work before and had no time to care for their son, but they finally had time after his death.
The proof is that his tense spirit, which was about to break, only relaxed after his parents' death!
When Zhao Zixuan got this answer, he suddenly felt an urge in his heart. He wanted to go home quietly and hide in the closet. He wanted to see his parents again.
Tell his parents what he didn’t have time to say!
After returning home.
Zhao Zixuan found that the house was very dirty and dusty everywhere. Only the kitchen and the dining table were clean, which further confirmed his guess.
There is a notice on the coffee table.
The notice said that his parents lost their heads in the accident.
Zhao Zixuan put down the notice, wiped his tears, and wanted to wait at the door, hug his parents and say welcome home after they came back.
But he was also worried that his waiting would prevent his parents from entering the house.
So he hid in a large cabinet opposite the refrigerator. There was a bag in the cabinet containing a pile of soft things, which Zhao Zixuan casually put aside.
He also wanted to see his mother cook, and this might be his last chance.
Zhao Zixuan closed the cabinet door and looked at his phone to pass the time.
Suddenly, he saw a local news.
A body was stolen from a county funeral home, and the brain was stolen, which caused panic among the funeral home employees...
This piece of news made Zhao Zixuan feel cold all over.
He often sees small animals without heads. Isn't this an illusion caused by the death of their parents? Why does such news really appear?
And now it has turned from a small animal into a dead person?
suddenly.
Zhao Zixuan smelled a fishy odor in the cabinet.
It's that bag of soft stuff!
He turned around to see what was behind him, and heard a click. The door was opened, but there was no sound of footsteps and no one turned on the light.
Zhao Zixuan didn't dare to breathe. Through the gap, he saw a white-haired, kind old lady moving sideways with an expressionless face to the other side of the cabinet.
This old lady is the owner of that small restaurant!
She opened the refrigerator.
Zhao Zixuan's eyes suddenly widened, and he saw that the refrigerator was filled with heads: pig heads, sheep heads, chicken heads, frog heads, fish heads, all kinds of heads were piled in the refrigerator, and countless pairs of dead eyes were staring at Zhao Zixuan.
"Is that enough? Is that enough?"
"There are so many, it should be enough to eat!"
"What are we looking for so many brains for? The refrigerator won't even hold them all."
"Of course, like cures like. The child has become smarter recently, so let's feed him some more brains."
There was only an old lady in the room, but there were voices of many people talking at the same time. These voices sounded familiar to Zhao Zixuan, as if they were all regular customers of that small restaurant.
suddenly.
The old lady turned around. She looked normal from behind, but there were more than a dozen faces on her front. These faces were randomly squeezed on her body, which looked very scary. She reached out to Zhao Zixuan in the cabinet.
"I almost forgot, there's a fresh brain here!"
"Ah! Ahh!!"
Zhao Zixuan let out a shrill scream that could be heard from far away. He screamed until he fainted from lack of oxygen. When he woke up, he was already in an underground maze.
This is the end of the story.
……
There is little thriller element in Zhao Zixuan's story.
But with a touch of sadness and tenderness.
Because the story was told on orders, Zhao Zixuan told it with great emotion and the effect of the story was very good. However, after he finished telling the story, before Zhao Zixuan could report back, he fell straight down, and the effect of his Taoism had ended.
To Zhao Zixuan, this story was just terrifying.
But Wu Xian, as a bystander, saw more.
The old lady and the human heads on his body might be the victims of the poisoning case. They were influenced by the God of Fire and stopped harming people. Instead, they opened a small restaurant.
This small restaurant is not meant to serve people.
But because Zhao Zixuan's spirit had reached its limit and was very weak, he found this restaurant, which is commonly known as seeing a ghost.
The converted old lady felt sorry for Zhao Zixuan, so she did not harm him but gave him the only warmth she had.
After learning that Zhao Zixuan's parents had died, the old lady found Zhao Zixuan, blocked his memory, and tried her best to let everything develop as normal. She also found him some brains to help him study.
Those heads may look abstract and inhuman.
But the concern of elders is always difficult to understand, not to mention that this old lady has been a ghost for who knows how many years.
As for why the old lady was discovered by Zhao Zixuan, it was probably in the basement of the school.
There might really be a Bagua formation in the basement to exorcise evil spirits. After he entered the basement, the Bagua formation removed the influence of the evil spirits, and Zhao Zixuan discovered the truth...
Wu Xian stopped thinking, looked up, and saw that the palace lanterns had been lit.
This means that Zhao Zixuan's story has been recognized by the big-eared statue.
The consumption of his spiritual power did not cause too much negative impact on Wu Xian, but this level of spiritual power would only be restored after he left the blessed land.
The remaining two chances should be used where they are worthwhile.
Xiong Gang also specially found Wu Xian. He did not ask Wu Xian to bury Zhao Zixuan, but he also asked Wu Xian not to use Zhao Zixuan's body to do anything that desecrates the dead.
It was probably the fate of the charred corpse in the tomb that made him suspicious of Wu Xian in this regard.
Wu Xian was speechless about this.
Although his moral standards are not high, he is not so inhuman.
The time for lighting the palace lanterns is limited.
Everyone just chatted briefly and then prepared to go to bed. For safety and warmth considerations, everyone slept very close to each other this time, with everyone sticking close to Fat Tiger.
This made Wu Xian feel restrained. He could no longer enjoy Fat Tiger alone like before, but Fat Tiger was very satisfied.
Time passed little by little.
Fu Jianan, who was sleeping, suddenly heard a strange sound.
"Fu Jian, do you want to leave this underground maze? Do you want to see your daughter again?"
The sound was ethereal and it was hard to tell where it came from. It sounded like a voice from heaven.
