Republic of China

Chapter 126 Zombie Tram
The third quarter of noon is the time when Yang Qi is most abundant every day.

The ancients believed that there were many reasons why condemned prisoners were executed at this time.

The first is the balance of yin and yang. In the eyes of our ancestors, executing prisoners is a matter of killing. Since they are yin in nature, they will inevitably produce evil spirits. In order to dilute this evil spirit, we must choose the time when the sun is strongest in the day, that is, at three quarters of noon.

Secondly, as an executioner, you are contaminated with evil spirits far beyond ordinary people, and it is an existence that everyone avoids. In order to protect the executioner, the executioner must wear red during the execution, and then spray the blade with strong liquor, etc. In addition to the old rules, at three o'clock at noon, Immediately executing the prisoner will reduce the evil spirit contaminated by it to a minimum.

Finally, the ancestors also believed that people who had committed many evil deeds during their lifetimes would definitely turn into ghosts after death. Only by killing them at three quarters of noon could their souls be wiped out. Not only would they not be able to transform into ghosts, they would even be unable to be reincarnated.

To put it bluntly, it means protecting living people and completely eliminating criminals, regardless of life or death.

But there are no absolutes.

When certain harsh conditions are met, beheading becomes a disaster or even a catastrophe.

For example, this ferocious female head did not fall to the ground but flew around in a circle and bit it on the table.

In broad daylight, in full view!
Countless people saw this strange and terrifying scene with their own eyes!
Screams and chaos filled every corner around. People no longer had the mentality of watching a show. They all ran away crying, fearing that the woman's head would fly over and bite them to death.

Not to mention maintaining order, the patrol police around them all ran out screaming. After all, their identities were kept here. They all heard about the supernatural incident that happened near Xiaoximen last night, and they still haven't found the headless corpses. , and then saw the severed head staring and talking, and the psychological defenses of the patrol officers were destroyed.

However, in fact, the evil ghosts that everyone imagined were not killing everyone and causing a bloody storm.

The woman glared and said a few words before rolling to the ground. It was no different from an ordinary head. At most, she died with her eyes open.

But Chen Zhennian, who was facing him at close range, was so frightened that his face was livid, his limbs were as heavy as lead, and he was breathing heavily. In the end, several subordinates stepped forward and carried him away.

Soon, there were only three headless corpses on the execution platform, and even several executioners rolled and crawled away.

The calmest ones were Zhao Sanyuan and Kang Muang in the corner.

Li Dongzhi beside him knew that the matter was extremely serious just by looking at the expressions of the two of them. When the woman rolled her head and fell to the ground, it was not the end, but the beginning of some kind of catastrophe.

"Two brothers"

Before Lao Li could finish speaking, Zhao Sanyuan and Kang Muang held his arms and left with the chaotic crowd to avoid being crowded and trampled.

However, it is not advisable to stay in a non-local place for a long time. It is better to leave as soon as possible.

"Old Li, please tell us the truth. If anything happens because of the evil things yesterday and today, will it affect you?"

The headless corpses running around in the middle of the night, the severed heads flying around with their eyes open and talking, these have nothing to do with me. There are so many evil things happening in various places throughout the year, do you have to help them every time you see them?
Moreover, the two incidents all occurred near Xiaoximen, and there must be an inevitable connection between them. Combined with Zhao Sanyuan's inner speculation, it can almost be concluded that the water inside is extremely deep and muddy, and it is necessary to stay as far away as possible.

Zhao Sanyuan also understood that Lao Li couldn't bring him and Lao Kang here just to watch the fun. If this matter really had anything to do with him, he would have to help no matter how difficult it was.

"Alas" Lao Li sighed, "It's quite a bit of an impact. As the second-in-command of the Feng Provincial Construction Department, I am only in charge of this and that project, but the work of going to the Juliu River to fight for the salvation of the souls of death is... What happened to me? The Secretary for Construction does not care about ghosts and gods."

"It's my fault for talking too much before. After I returned to Shenyang, I was afraid that the two brothers would be deceived by Da Chongjiu's boss, so I found an opportunity to meet with the commander-in-chief and told him all your abilities. To be honest, the commander-in-chief was really cool. The important thing is that the timing was bad and we caught up with Guo Songling who was cheating and committing mutiny. After killing that bastard Guo Songling, the commander-in-chief found me in the middle of his busy schedule and asked you to come to Fengtian City."

"Obviously I'm going to Juliuhe to do something, but actually I want to give you two a try. If you do it satisfactorily, you will naturally be summoned. After all, the commander-in-chief has always been very pious in this regard, not to mention I am the guarantee for last night and tonight. It happened suddenly and I believe no one expected it."

At this point, Li Dongzhi's sighs became heavier and heavier.

The meaning of the words was already clear to Zhao Sanyuan and Kang Muang.

Obviously, in the eyes of the marshal, the three of them are already in a state of being tied up, with one being prosperous and the other suffering.

Since the two brothers came to Fengtian City to try out their skills, they couldn't pretend not to see an unexpected situation.

It's an opportunity, but also a hidden thunder.

The sooner the 'matter' is handled, the pressure from rumors and public opinion will be reduced to a minimum for those in power, and Lao Li will be appreciated and trusted in some aspects.

On the contrary, if it is not handled well, Lao Li will also be implicated.

It can only be said that the timing of the two brothers coming to Fengtian City was too late. If they had not wasted time in Liaoyang before, they would have been able to complete the rituals a few days ago and go home happily.
After leaving the execution platform, several people slowed down and stood on the corner of a main road.

Kang Muang invited a newsboy to buy a newspaper, but he didn't find any reports about the horrific incident at Xiaoximen last night.

Zhao Sanyuan lit a cigarette and leaned against the wall to puff out the smoke, "To put it simply, since we have encountered something evil, it is better to take action. If we do it beautifully, it is good for you, Lao Li. If we do not do it well, you have to be one of the punching bags, right. Bar?"

Lao Li nodded and sighed, "Yes, it's my fault that I was too anxious to find a good future for my two brothers. If the commander-in-chief didn't know that you had arrived at Fengtian City, the evil things that happened last night and today were actually a little different from ours. If you are not sure about your relationship, just pretend you didn't see it. After the ceremony, you will return to Anshan. Anyway, whether you want to do it or not, I will take care of anything that happens. "

People in the arena involuntarily.

Especially people in temples are often passively involved in some whirlpools and find it difficult to get out.

Neither of them had any reason to blame Li Dongzhi. He had good intentions, but it could only be said that he had bad luck.

Zhao Sanyuan put out his cigarette butt and looked at the bustling street and the slowly passing tram.

"Old Kang."

"Ok?"

"Time is running out. Now we are divided into two groups. You and Lao Li are going to Juliuhe to perform errands. The official business cannot be delayed. I will go to the morgue at Xiaoximen to have a look. I must try my best to find the four transformed evil spirits. body, otherwise the longer it takes, the greater the harm will be."

At this time, Li Dongzhi took out two small red notebooks from his pocket, which were stamped with the seal of the Internal Affairs Office of the General Administration. They were temporary relevant documents that he had obtained for his two brothers at the General Administration in advance. As long as they were not in sensitive areas, ordinary No one from the government will stop it.

There are specialties in the art industry. Brother Sanyuan must have a reason for dividing the army into two groups. Just follow orders and that's it.

"There's something I haven't had time to tell you two. Do you remember the Chen Zikai you met yesterday? He fell ill again this morning. It is said that he fired several shots at home and injured someone."

Kang Muang was not surprised by this and said softly: "His affairs were difficult to deal with in the first place. If he meets an unreliable master again, something will happen."

"I love them so much that I don't have time to pay attention to them. Just by talking to Chen Zhennian with a glaring eye just now, there will be bloodshed in the old Chen family." Zhao Sanyuan took a red book and went to the government morgue under Xiaoximen.

Although I didn't fall out with the Chen family's behavior yesterday, it doesn't mean I don't take it seriously at all.

Again.

It's hard to persuade a goddamn ghost.

If you court death yourself, you can't blame others.

Under the Xiaoximen, there is a street that is completely blocked and is personally guarded by military personnel. There are many bunkers and machine guns, and there are even two ground cannons.

But it was not the weapons and equipment that attracted Zhao Sanyuan's attention.

A raging fire was burning in front of the morgue, and the soldiers were throwing the remaining corpses into the fire to burn.

"My day!"

Zhao Sanyuan looked anxious.

It is true that if you burn the corpse, you won't have to worry about the evil spirit. After all, it is impossible for the ashes to reshape the human form, but on the other hand, you can't find any useful clues from the corpse.

Although helpless, Zhao Sanyuan still crossed the cordon with a small notebook to see if he could find any other clues.Sitting on the steps outside the morgue was a skinny old man, banging and pecking at the cigarette pole.

"Old man, may I ask something?" Zhao Sanyuan sat down next to the skinny old man in a familiar manner and happily handed over a box of cigarettes.

I couldn't reach out to hit the smiling person, let alone such a sensible young man.

"I haven't answered any questions clearly this morning. I didn't want to say a word at first, but I see that you have good taste, so go ahead and ask. Old man, I'll tell you everything I know."

"Okay~ By the way, were you always at the scene when the accident happened last night? If you were, what happened?"

The skinny old man blew out a smoke ring, his eyes a little wandering, "Last night."

He looked like a janitor, but in fact he was once a serious former dynasty official, and he had been eating from the government since before the Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-].

After the Republic of China, the old man was getting older and older. Although he could no longer work in his old job, he was given a job as a morgue guard because of his steady behavior, which could be considered a stable income.

From this point of view, it has been more than ten years and there has never been a mistake.

until last night.

As usual, the old man took two young apprentices to guard the morgue. Due to the recent events, there were more corpses in the morgue. Those who came to claim them would be taken home, and those who were not claimed would be parked for a few seconds. God found a place to bury it, in an orderly manner.

For some reason, it was cold and cold in the morgue last night, and there happened to be no charcoal in the stove. The old man didn't want to call his two apprentices, so he went to the warehouse to get charcoal himself.

In fact, that coldness isn't just about the cold weather.

It is also mixed with increasingly strong evil spirits!

Just when the old man was getting charcoal, something happened.

He had just returned and before he could cross the threshold, he saw shrill screams coming from the morgue. Several headless corpses tore the two young apprentices into several pieces alive, leaving them bloody and bloody.

The old man was sad and frightened. He understood that there was no way to save him, so he threw away the charcoal and ran out. In the process, he bumped into Jiu Mengzi who had drunk too much. He wanted to make trouble, but when he saw something rushing out of the morgue, he was immediately killed. I was so frightened that I sobered up and crawled all over, wishing I had fewer legs.

Later, when he met a passing patrolman, he found that even firing a gun was useless and dispersed. In the chaos, the old man escaped only by being dragged away by two conscientious patrolmen.

"Sure enough, there are four." Zhao Sanyuan pondered slightly, thinking that it was similar to the version he heard from Lao Li.

The old man's tone was calm and calm, but the fingers holding the cigarette were trembling.

Zhao Sanyuan pondered for a moment and then asked: "What were the identities of those corpses before they were alive?"

"These days, people who can be beheaded are either rich or noble. Ordinary people really can't enjoy it." The old man smiled sarcastically, "Two are civil servants, one is an officer, and there is another who specializes in contracting military orders. of."

Simply looking at the identity, we really can’t see any connection.

But the possibility of man-made causes cannot be ruled out, just like the old man of the Li family who was filled with corpse oil before.

"By the way, do you know where the executioners live?"

"I think I've heard of them. They are all from near Dingxiang Lake. It's a bit far away from the city. If you want to go, you'd better go tomorrow. The sun seems to be setting soon, and the recent nights are really not peaceful."

Listen to people's advice and eat well.

After Zhao Sanyuan thanked him and left, he felt that it was already getting late. It would probably be late at night before returning to the 1912 Hotel after going to Dingxiang Lake. Let's talk about it tomorrow.

The bad thing is.

When it got completely dark, Zhao Sanyuan did not return to the hotel.

be lost.

Fengtian City is so big that I can't even figure it out even if I go around it.

Even if he asked passers-by for directions, Zhao Sanyuan could not understand but could not navigate. He was confused and confused.

In Xushi, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street, and I couldn’t take a rickshaw without money in my pocket.

At this time, after seeing a tram approaching slowly, Zhao Sanyuan simply jumped on it.

The driver was a warm-hearted person and said that the last train would pass by the 1912 Hotel, so it would take a while. It didn't matter whether it was money or not. Anyway, most of the boxes of cigarettes that Zhao Sanyuan handed over were enough for the fare.

There were only a few passengers on the last bus, sitting here and there.

Just as Zhao Sanyuan was trying to find a place to sit down, he glanced at a person sitting on the bench on the left hand side.

A headless corpse without a head!

Because the light in the car was a bit dim, no one cast any eyes on it, so it sat there quietly. If you didn't pay attention, it would look like a living person dozing off with his head tucked into his collar, with the severed head still covered. A cotton hat.

If he hadn't felt the evil aura, Zhao Sanyuan wouldn't have taken it seriously.

Leng Buding took a breath of surprise when he discovered the clue.

I was angry and funny in my heart.

It is certain that it must be one of the disappeared zombies, but it is not clear which category it belongs to. As for the shadow zombie, it is easy to tell. A few people in the car can arrange it clearly, even if it is purple zombie or above. If you want to deal with it, you must have someone in your hand.

The problem is that when I went out today, I only brought the old weighing pole with me and nothing else. If I take action rashly, there is a high risk of an accident. Besides, there are several living people in the car. If there is a real fight, innocent people will be hurt.

What makes Zhao Sanyuan funny is that all the fucking zombies can take the tram?

Even if there is no conductor on the last train, driver, couldn't you take a closer look when you sell the tickets?
If you look at yourself, you are worse than a zombie. You can’t even find your way home.
Complaints are complaints, Zhao Sanyuan still looked as normal as possible and sat opposite the zombie, looking at the other passengers with his peripheral vision.

Sitting in the last row was a lean man in a suit and leather shoes. He was looking through some documents and muttering something about it.

Sitting not far from him was a promiscuous woman with heavy makeup. Seeing this handsome young man Zhao Sanyuan, she became energetic and stopped dozing off, ogling him frequently.

The only other living person left is the driver.

After calculating everyone's abilities in his mind, Zhao Sanyuan sighed silently,
wait.

It would be nice if these few people could not do any harm.

Calculating the time, Lao Kang should have returned to the hotel room. When the tram arrived at the 1912 Hotel, he asked Lao Kang to come and help. If he could kill a zombie, he would count as one.

Now I just hope that the zombie opposite will sit quietly. Although I don't know what it wants to do, as long as we get to the hotel, everything will be settled.

No matter what.

This tram ride is destined to be frightening and full of uncertainty.

After a while, the last tram welcomed new passengers.
