Gentle Sleep Instructor

Chapter 1314 Memories

"After Hua She Tou died, Fan Jiang Long and Ding Men Liang, the two brothers, also fought. They even used knives. One had both hands chopped off, and the other had both feet chopped off. Both of them died. It's said the scene was incredibly gruesome. The bag of money they... they earned was placed in the middle of the table, splattered with blood."

"The word outside is that they turned on each other because they couldn't agree how to split the loot, but I know that's not the case. The three of them were cursed!"

"That must be it! Because they didn't keep their promise to that person!"

"It was... it was the tomb owner's agreement!"

The more Liu Xueyi spoke, the more agitated he became. His entire body trembled uncontrollably, his pupils dilated, and his lips turned blue, as if he were about to die in the next second.

Seeing that something was wrong, Yuan Shanyuan immediately took out silver needles and inserted them into several of his acupoints. After a moment, Liu Xueyi regained his senses, and his violently heaving chest gradually calmed down.

"These people are like me, they had similar experiences. They... they died one by one like this, with such bizarre deaths. I'm scared, afraid that I'll be next."

"I don't dare to sleep night after night, afraid that if I fall asleep, I'll... I'll dream of that person again."

"Finally, after enduring it for a few days, I couldn't take it anymore. I decided to try and see if I could find any clues from the dead."

"Going back to Sun Deji's tomb is definitely out of the question. Even if you beat me to death, I wouldn't dare to go back there. I can only start with the corpses of Hua She Tou and the others. I spent a lot of money to see their bodies, but the people at the police station said that the bodies had long been dumped in the mass grave outside the city."

"Because my line of work requires me to deal with the police, I know a thing or two about their investigation habits. Leaving aside the identities of Hua She Tou and the others, they would never easily let go of so much gold and silver jewelry. They would definitely investigate thoroughly, so there must be something wrong here."

"Sure enough, after inquiring around, I learned more information. Late at night three days ago, someone heard screams coming from the police station, followed by several gunshots. Soon after, a group of people, fully armed, escorted a carriage covered with a black cloth, heading west."

"I confirmed that three days ago was the time when the bodies of Hua She Tou and the others were brought back to the police station, and the west is also the direction of the mass grave outside the city! So... so what they were escorting, fully armed, must have been the bodies of Hua She Tou and the others!"

Screams, gunshots, and the disposal of corpses at the mass grave outside the city late at night... Putting these things together, a terrifying picture emerged. Something must have happened to the bodies of Hua She Tou and the others!

"And then, what did you do?" Yao Shunyu couldn't help but ask, the thing hidden beneath the deep water was slowly surfacing, and they had never been so close to the truth.

Liu Xueyi took a breath, looked at everyone with a strange expression, and said in a hoarse voice, "I went to the mass grave outside the city, early the next morning. I knew that some things couldn't be avoided."

"There was a patch of new soil there, obviously recently disturbed, and the person had left in a hurry, even the pit wasn't completely filled."

"I dug open the pit and found three bodies wrapped in tattered straw mats. I opened the mats, and inside... inside were the bodies of Hua She Tou and the others, but I... I didn't expect their bodies to look like that!"

"Only a few days had passed, but their bodies had dried out and turned into three mummies! But it takes at least several years for a corpse to become a mummy to that extent! And even then, only under specific conditions!"

"I also found bullet holes on the mummies. The bullet holes were chaotic and irregular, on every mummy. I could feel that the person had been shooting in a very panicked state."

"Finally, on the finger of one of the mummies, I also found traces of blood, on the mummy of Hua She Tou. There was still a little bit of flesh under his fingernails."

Listening to Liu Xueyi's description, the atmosphere in the room became heavy, not entirely because of these bizarre and uncanny stories of dead people coming back to life, but also because of the wariness towards the person in front of them.

In Liu Xueyi's story, the other four people all seemed to be resurrected corpses. What about Liu Xueyi himself? Did he also have an unknown past?

Everyone suddenly had a feeling, a feeling that they shouldn't let Liu Xueyi continue speaking, otherwise something terrible might happen. Jiang Cheng interrupted Liu Xueyi's memories, "Alright, I want to know now, what's going on with the corpse poison on your face? After returning from the ancient tomb, where did you go?"

"Nowhere, I didn't go anywhere. After experiencing something like that, I would never dare to go into a tomb again. The corpse poison on my face... that's right, where did the corpse poison on my face come from?"

Liu Xueyi touched his face. The last nonsensical words left everyone confused. Fatty even widened his eyes, wondering if the other party had suddenly lost his memory.

But in the next second, Yuan Shanyuan's sinister laughter rang out, "It doesn't matter if you can't remember. I'll help you remember. That blood corpse tomb, the tomb of the Marquis of Hun, you opened the tomb owner's coffin, and then, before you were paralyzed with fear, what did you see, or what did you do? Could it be... could it be that you just temporarily don't remember?"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately became vigilant. Jiang Cheng even roared at Yuan Shanyuan to shut up, but it was too late. Yuan Shanyuan quickly retreated, hiding behind Bai Yu, while Liu Xueyi seemed to have become a different person, grabbing at his rotting face with both hands.

In the next second, a horrifying scene appeared. Underneath the broken skin was not scarlet flesh, but chunks of black, foul-smelling rotten meat, and even withered yellow bones could be seen.

This wasn't a living person at all, but a decaying corpse that had been dead for who knows how long!

Liu Xueyi's corpse seemed to have lost its soul, its eyes dull, its lips trembling slightly. "That's right, I must know something. I not only opened that coffin, but I've forgotten something very important. I have to remember, I must... I must remember, what exactly is it, what exactly is it!"

It wasn't hard to understand the situation at hand. Liu Xueyi, like the previous few people, was a dead man!

Jiang Cheng even suspected that the real Liu Xueyi had never left that tomb chamber. His body had long been trapped and died there, and what crawled out of the tunnel afterwards was just a dead corpse!

Everyone glared fiercely at Yuan Shanyuan. That old thing was too wicked. He must have seen that the Liu Xueyi in front of them wasn't a living person, and was thinking of making Liu Xueyi recall his forgotten past, to provoke him. That way, Liu Xueyi would likely transform into something like Hua She Tou and the others, and start a massacre against them.

And with Bai Yu protecting him, it wouldn't be hard for him to survive.
