34: Chapter 34: Did the zombie come back to life?

"Whether I am human or a ghost is not important."

Su Yun leaned back in his chair, his eyes indifferent.

"What is important is that you are about to become a ghost yourself."

"Or rather, you are going to accompany those two brothers who have just become ghosts."

Lao Wu sprang up from the ground abruptly.

He grabbed the engineer shovel from the ground, which was still stained with dark red blood and mud.

He brandished it wildly at the phone camera, his eyes bloodshot.

"I don't believe it! I don't believe it!"

"Stop playing these supernatural tricks here!"

"I'm running right now! Let's see who can catch me!"

"This place is the middle of nowhere, there isn't even a ghost in sight, how could the police possibly find me!"

Having said that, he reached out to press the hang-up button.

As long as he hung up the phone, pulled out the SIM card, and dove into the mountain gully.

Not even God would be able to find him!

"If I were you, I wouldn't hang up this call."

Su Yun's voice sounded again, carrying a hint of mockery.

"When you connected just now, you already triggered the cyber police's automatic inspection mechanism."

"Right now, in this livestream room, there are at least hundreds of cyber police watching you."

"Your IP address, your phone's location, and even your current facial features have already been transmitted to the police database."

"If you hang up the phone, that will be fleeing to avoid punishment, adding to your crimes."

"If you don't hang up, you might still count as turning yourself in and strive for lenient treatment."

Lao Wu's finger froze one centimeter above the screen.

He didn't dare to press it.

He was truly scared.

He didn't understand what Su Yun meant by the "cyber police automatic inspection mechanism" at all, but he felt that what Su Yun said sounded real.

After all, Su Yun even knew the details of him killing people.

What else was there that he didn't know?

Lao Wu's voice carried a weeping tone; it was a collapse of extreme despair.

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die..."

"I don't want this fifty million! I'll give it all to you! Please, let me go!"

Su Yun watched his tearful and snotty appearance, feeling not a shred of sympathy.

This kind of person is ruthless when killing others.

When retribution arrives, he starts acting pitiful.

If he were let off, who would Da Liu and Ma Zi go to for justice?

Although those two weren't good people either, they were still two human lives.

"Big brother, didn't you just ask me if your fortune was stable?"

Su Yun suddenly smiled.

That was the brightest smile of the night.

But in Lao Wu's eyes, it was even more terrifying than the King of Hell's summons.

"I can tell you clearly."

"Your fortune is definitely broken."

"But these handcuffs are definitely much more stable than your fortune."

As soon as these words were spoken, the comments in the livestream room finally exploded.

"666666!"

"Handcuffs are more stable than fortune! This is absolutely the best quote of the year!"

"Master Su is awesome! This mouth is simply a consecrated machine gun!"

"Lao Wu: My mentality has collapsed!"

"This isn't fortune-telling, this is online sentencing!"

"I can't take it anymore, my stomach hurts from laughing. Even though this is a very serious matter, Master Su's words are too savage."

Lao Wu looked at the screen full of "666" and was completely dumbfounded.

He felt like a monkey being watched by others.

Anger, fear, shame—various emotions mixed together, causing him to completely lose his reason.

"Screw your handcuffs!"

"I'm not playing anymore!"

Lao Wu roared, no longer caring about any cyber police.

He just wanted to run now, run as far away as possible!

However, before he could even run, Su Yun spoke again.

The speed of his speech was extremely fast, and his voice was extremely cold.

"Don't be in such a rush to run."

"In that dirt pit behind you, Ma Zi, whom you buried, seems to have moved his hand."

This sentence was like a basin of liquid nitrogen at minus fifty degrees, poured directly over Lao Wu.

His movements froze instantly.

The entire livestream room, with over a hundred thousand people, seemed to hold their breath at this moment.

Even the comments stalled for a second.

What does that mean?

Ma Zi moved?

Wasn't Ma Zi... already beaten to death?

Lao Wu's neck, like a rusted gear, made a "click-clack" sound as it turned bit by bit.

The flashlight in his hand also turned with it.

The glaring beam of light swayed in the pitch-black underground space, sweeping across the dirt pit he had just half-filled.

There was newly turned yellow soil piled up there.

The soil was loose and still damp.

Just as the beam swept over the edge of the dirt pile.

A hand.

A pale, stiff hand, with dirt under its fingernails.

Was reaching straight out from the soil!

The fingers of that hand were slightly curled, as if wanting to grab something.

And under the illumination of the flashlight, the little finger of that hand trembled once.

Just once.

But Lao Wu saw it clearly.

"Ah!!!!!!"

A scream of extreme shrillness exploded instantly.

Lao Wu's hand shook in fear, and the phone fell directly to the ground.

The image shook violently and finally settled at an extremely eerie angle.

It was aimed right at the hand reaching out from the soil.

And Lao Wu's legs, which were kicking frantically in the darkness.

"It's a corpse reanimation! A corpse reanimation!!!"

Lao Wu's shout was heart-wrenching.

Unfortunately, this was at the bottom of a grave-robbing tunnel, and the space was already narrow.

With this lunge, his back slammed heavily against the dirt wall.

Loose dirt from above fell down in a rush, blinding his eyes and choking his throat.

But he couldn't care about any of that.

Using his hands and feet, he kicked frantically in this narrow dirt pit, waving the engineer shovel wildly, banging against the surrounding dirt walls with loud thuds.

"Don't come over! Da Liu! Ma Zi! Don't come over!"

"Every debt has a debtor! I couldn't help it! I had to survive!"

"I'll burn all the money for you! I'll burn it all for you! Don't haunt me!"

Lao Wu's face, which was already hideous, was now twisted out of shape.

Snot and tears covered his face, mixed with mud, looking as wretched as could be.

He was truly scared out of his wits.

People in their line of work, although they say they live with their heads on their belts, usually say they don't believe in evil spirits.

But if they really encounter something like this, who wouldn't have doubts in their heart?

Especially since he had just committed two homicides.

This is typical of a guilty conscience.

The comments in the livestream room were also exploding now.

Just a moment ago it was a screen full of "666", now it had all changed to the red word "Protect".

"Comments protect me! Comments protect me! Prosperity, democracy, civilization, harmony..."

"Mom, save me! I don't dare to look anymore!"

"Is this a real corpse reanimation? I don't believe in science anymore, I'm going to worship Lord Guan!"

"Master Su, please withdraw your supernatural powers! This is a bit beyond the syllabus!"

Watching the chaotic scene on the screen, Su Yun was very calm.

He even had the leisure to pick up the enamel mug printed with "Serve the People", slowly blew away the tea leaves on top, and took a big sip.

After moistening his throat, Su Yun finally spoke.

His tone was flat, even carrying a hint of frustration at not being able to make someone better.

"Alright, Lao Wu, stop howling like a ghost there."

"How old are you, why do you have no common sense of science at all?"

"Was your elementary school science class taught by the P.E. teacher?"
