a zombie haunts me

Chapter 273 The Real Cause of Dad's Death

In an instant, I gasped, and the blood all over my body boiled instantly.

I always thought that my father didn't remember having a daughter like me at all. Now it seems that he does remember, but the next second, I heard him reply: "No..."

My hanging heart suddenly fell to the ground, and I seemed to hear the sound of heartbreak, like a glass falling on the ground.

The father in front of him was still young, and there was not even a trace of age on his face.

He just drank, gulping down, as if desperate to get himself drunk.

The person sitting next to him shook his head, and said with a stern face: "You must have seen your daughter, every time you see her, you will come back to drink alone, just like now."

I was shocked immediately, and my eyes swept over my father's face again, only to find that his face turned pale inch by inch, as if he had been hit by what the man said.

My heart beat faster and faster, and I couldn't help but get nervous.

I was looking forward to my father's answer, however, after a while, he gently put down his wine glass and said to that person: "She has changed, she no longer needs my protection."

He pursed his lips tightly, and the expression on his face slowly became dull.

Dad really saw me just now, and he may be able to see that I am no longer an ordinary person.

His tightly furrowed brows told me that he was not happy at all, but with a deep anxiety.

A few ghosts passed in front of me, briefly covering my sight. When my eyes turned to my father again, I realized that my eyes had already been blurred by tears.

"But she is always your daughter, and you always treat her as a child, don't you?"

The stern look on Dad's face gradually faded away, he took another sip of wine, his brows and eyes seemed a little drunk, I heard him narrate in a low voice: "It's been 20 years, I know she can see me, but I No face to see her."

"why?"

The man asked a question, which was exactly what I expected to ask in my heart.

"Twenty years ago, I was greedy and made this mistake. In order to obtain treasures, I traded with the Soul Bank, but I did not expect to be killed."

Dad sighed deeply, his body was obviously young, but when he spoke, he looked a bit old.

"What happened 20 years ago?"

When I heard this question, my heart suddenly "thumped". I stared into my father's eyes, expecting to know the answer, but he shook his head.

Dad seemed to be recalling something, and after drinking some wine, he began to confide in his mind boldly. I heard him say: "20 years ago, Coffin Town was only famous for making coffins, but because I have some knowledge about that place Interested, so I took my wife to archeology."

"Oh? Could it be that you were trapped in the tomb..."

Before the man finished speaking, his father interrupted him, and continued: "During the archaeological process, we discovered a huge group of ancient tombs, and found traces of zombie activities inside. After our deduction, this one Zombies have probably been around for 1000 years."

"So, you died in the tomb just to get that thousand-year-old zombie?"

Dad shook his head again, with a slightly stiff expression on his face, and he said, "No, no one knows whether that thousand-year-old zombie will wake up, but the funeral objects inside are very valuable."

After a pause, Dad went on to say: "In order to steal the funerary objects inside, we went to the tomb several times, but all failed, because there are many guardian spirits in the tomb. The structure of the cemetery is also very complicated, and it is not easy to find out where the treasure is located if you want to quickly figure out the location inside."

"For this reason, you went to the Soul Bank?"

Dad seemed to have choked on the spirits, coughed heavily, and said, "No, at that time, I didn't even know about a place like Soul Bank."

After a while, his cough subsided, and he continued: "I went to the Demon Elimination Village and found a Taoist priest named Bai, hoping that he could teach me how to deal with those undead guarding the tomb, but he was not willing at all. Help me, I had no choice but to tell him the real reason."

"The Taoist wants a piece of the pie?"

Dad shook his head, then waved his hand and said, "After counting with his fingers, he asked about my daughter's birthday."

"What does this have to do with your daughter?"

The doubts in that person's heart are the same as mine, but I feel that this does not seem to be a good thing.

"How do I know his purpose? Anyway, after he knew my daughter's birth date, he made some calculations with his fingers and told me that he can't help me. The only way is to go to the Soul Bank."

When Dad mentioned the Soul Bank, there was a look of fear on his face, but my heart couldn't be calm for a long time.

I looked at Bai Wuyou at the side, his face was pale, as if he had fallen into some terrible memory.

At that moment, I guessed that the Taoist priest surnamed Bai mentioned by my father must have some kind of relationship with Bai Wuyou.

"What I didn't expect was that before I found a way to get to the Soul Bank, the Soul Bank took the initiative to find me."

When I heard what my father said, my heart sank slightly. That's right, there is some kind of magical feeling in the Soul Bank. Not only that, as long as they are potential customers of the bank, they will receive black invitations from the bank.

At the same time, I am very clear in my heart that during the period when I did not send invitations, the invitations sent by Soul Bank have never stopped.

My mind was empty, and I didn't know whether it was the greedy Taoist priest who killed my father, or my father's own greed killed himself.

"Then what do you take as collateral?"

Apparently, the person sitting next to Dad also came here because of a deal with the Soul Bank.

After a while, I heard my father say to him: "Ten years of life... I mortgaged my ten years of life, but I didn't expect that those ten years would be my last ten years. After I went to the tomb, I died in the In the cemetery, the soul can only come to this soul inn because it does not die naturally and has no resting place."

Until now, I finally understood the real cause of my father's death, but my mind was empty, as if it had been washed by something.

The strength in his whole body seemed to be taken away by something, and his legs were weak.

All of a sudden, I heard that person continue to say: "Now that you are the manager of the Soul Inn, it's better."

"What's the use? I'll be trapped in this inn for the rest of my life. I can't see the people I want to see, and I can't say what I want to say. It's better to be reincarnated as a human being."

At that moment, I couldn't help but tremble all over. I didn't expect that my father had already become the general manager of the Soul Inn.

No wonder, countless times at night, I can always see him. Those undead souls who died unjustly seemed to be snatched away by him.

It turned out that he was like a guide, bringing those wandering souls who died unjustly to the Soul Inn.

The heart suddenly hurts, as if being pinched by a pair of invisible hands, the pain is so painful that even breathing is suddenly stagnant.

The panic in my heart made my feet go weak, and I accidentally took a step backwards, knocking over a cup on the table behind me.

But I didn't expect that in the next second, the entire basement fell silent, and everyone's eyes were all looking at me.

It's over, have they seen me?
My heart trembled, and when I didn't know what to do, Bai Wuyou quickly took out a spell and hit it on a ghost that was very close to us. The ghost staggered and fell on me. on the table behind you.

In a blink of an eye, Bai Wuyou hurriedly pulled me, and I escaped smoothly, but the eyes of those people seemed to shift to the fallen ghost.

Soon someone came up to deal with all this, the drinking and punching people continued, and Bai Wuyou and I also slowly approached Dad.

I took a long breath of relief, and when we walked in, I could vaguely smell the alcohol on my father, which was different from the feeling he gave me when I was a child.

I remember that my father has always been a very tall and heroic existence in my heart, because in the field of archaeology, he has always been obsessed with research and almost never drinks.

At this moment, seeing him so decadent, the pain in my heart was like something stuck in my throat, and I couldn't express it.

"By the way, you just said that your wife also did the archaeology with you, so what about your wife, where did she go?"

The ghost sitting next to my father asked again, but my heart suddenly rose accordingly.

Yeah, I've only seen my dad since I was able to see ghosts, never my mom, where the hell is my mom?

I saw that Dad seemed to be lost in thought, and then he opened his mouth with a slightly hoarse voice: "She..."

Before he finished speaking, I felt a gust of wind blowing past my ears, as if a ghost floated past me, and then, something happened that I never dreamed of. The invisibility talisman he was wearing was blown off by the wind and fell off.

For a moment, I was stunned, and I felt the abnormal breath around me. Almost every ghost present looked at me.

All of a sudden, my father and I's gazes collided, and when our eyes met, I saw a flash of surprise in his eyes, as well as an indescribable sadness.

"Come on!"

Bai Wuyou pulled me back, but I haven't had time to say a word to my father.

Suddenly, the lights in the entire basement were extinguished, replaced by clusters of ghostly green ghosts, and those ghosts who looked like humans all showed their true colors.

I saw those ghosts with green faces and fangs, some lost half of their faces, some had no heads, some were ashen-white, and their bodies were as stiff as puppets, but they all had the same behavior, that is, they rushed towards me...
