The coffin lid was very heavy, and I used too much force, so the coffin lid pushed me to the ground.

  The coffin lid fell to the ground with a loud thud.

  Disturbed the tranquility of this inn.

  "What the heck, its freezing!" I shivered all over and pushed open the coffin. A chill emanated from inside, just like opening a large refrigerator at home.

  Although the situation was a bit strange at this time, I pushed the coffin open and couldnt help but take a look inside. I stretched my head to take a peek.

  Inside, there was actually a corpse lying there. The corpse wore a black mourning dress and looked over 30 years old. His face was very dark, with his hands placed flat on his abdomen. His fingernails were even five centimeters long, just like the zombies in zombie movies.

  I took a deep breath of cold air and felt like I had really gotten myself into trouble.

  "Big brother, no offense, forgive me, forgive me." I said and was about to run over to cover the coffin again, but my legs were a bit weak at this time, let alone going over to lift the coffin lid, I didnt have the strength.

  Tick-tock, tick-tock.

  At this time, the coffin made a sound of water again. I observed that the corpse was very wet all over, as if it had been splashed with water.

  I swallowed my saliva, Ive never heard of a corpse having the habit of taking baths. Moreover, if what that Taoist said was true, and this corpse is from 1973, then its been over thirty years without rotting.

  It was too eerie, and I suddenly felt a chill run down my spine, with goosebumps all over my body.

  I hastily retreated two steps back, and from within the coffin also arose a creaking sound, just like the sound of grinding teeth.

  "Mom!" I turned around and ran wildly, wanting to run out of the inn. Its really curiosity that kills the cat. If I had known earlier, I would have been content with being photographed by Wang Rui and others, even living in the deep forest as a savage. Why did I come to this inn? Being a savage is better than losing my life!

  My legs are all soft now, who the hell said that when people encounter danger, they will tap into their potential and run faster than rabbits? I curse his eight ancestors, I now feel my legs going soft, like a soft-shelled shrimp, let alone running, its good if I can walk.

  The creaking sound behind me grew louder, I turned around to take a look, and that corpse actually slowly sat up!

  The corpses eyes also opened, and its nose sniffed hard, as if smelling something. Its head quickly turned in my direction, and I could see that there were only pupils inside its eyes, no eyeballs, just like a rural old corpse. It quickly crawled out of the coffin and slowly walked towards me.

  Luckily this zombie isnt as fierce as those in the movies, he walks like an old lady, slowly and limping.

  I was so scared that I wanted to run away, but my legs wouldnt listen. Under the moonlight, I also saw the ugly appearance of this corpse.

  I gritted my teeth and bit my tongue hard, it hurt so much, but I was finally able to move. I turned around and walked away.

  Its not that I dont want to run, its just that Im completely unable to, my legs have gone soft.

  The current situation is like two turtles racing, the zombie behind me is walking very slowly, and Im walking even slower. At this rate, its only a matter of time before I get caught up.

  No way, if this continues Ill really lose my life. I dont believe that zombie behind me is a vegetarian, especially with those two big fangs on his mouth, just looking at them makes me shudder. I walked into the lobby of the inn, originally I wanted to run outside, but when I saw the stairs, I thought, this corpse wont climb the stairs, right?

  I followed the stairs and went up to the second floor. The zombie behind me was swaying at the entrance of the stairs, as if it couldnt climb the stairs.

  I let out a sigh of relief on the second floor and hastily found the room next to the staircase, rushing in.

  The room is not big, just over twenty square meters, with only one closet, one table and one bed, very simple.

  I pushed the cabinet, table and bed to the door with all my might to block this wooden door. After doing all this, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. That zombie shouldnt be able to get in now, right?

  Knock knock knock...

  Suddenly, footsteps were heard on the stairs, very slow, but every time they sounded, my heart jumped with a thud. I retreated to the window of the room, holding my breath, hoping not to be discovered by this corpse. At the same time, I also looked down at the window sill. This second floor is only five meters high, and if I jump down, it shouldnt be a big problem.

  But if I jumped down and sprained my foot, that would be a big trouble. I furrowed my brow and hesitated.

  Bang!

  Just as I was hesitating, a loud noise suddenly came from the big gate, startling me. Did this corpse discover me?

  The corpse started to slam the door violently, and a beast-like low growl came from outside. Although there were many things blocking it, judging by its momentum, they wouldnt be able to hold out for much longer.

  I looked down at the window, five meters high. I swallowed my saliva and remembered that the school wall was also about five meters high. How come it didnt feel so high when jumping down from there? Now looking down, it feels like jumping from a thirty-story building.

  Grass, jumping is death, not jumping is also death. I closed my eyes, ready to jump, when suddenly the crashing sound at the door stopped.

  Huh? I turned back to look at the entrance, had that corpse given up? I had just finished thinking, when suddenly with a loud crash, this corpse actually smashed open the large door and rushed in.

  The corpse rushed towards me with its teeth bared and claws outstretched, my heart was in my throat, I completely forgot about jumping out the window to escape.

  The corpse rushed over and grabbed my arms with one hand, a sharp pain came from my arms, the fingernails of this corpse were five centimeters deep, directly piercing my shoulders, I was sweating cold sweat.

  "Ah!"

  Im just an ordinary middle school student, not some protagonist who can get stabbed a few times and be fine like eating a meal. Normally, Id cry out in pain for a long time even if I just broke a fingernail, let alone this time when my arm was pierced by the corpses fingernails ten times.

  Pain plus fear has short-circuited my brain.

  "Elite troops advance as swiftly as an imperial edict!"

  Suddenly, a guy wearing a yellow Taoist robe appeared behind the corpse. He stuck a yellow talisman on the corpses forehead, and it instantly became immobile, as if it had been cast with a petrifying spell.

  "Ow!" I shouted, taking a step back and yanking the zombies fingers out of my arm.

  "You stinky little brat, what are you yelling about? Dont you know this is a haunted inn? Running to a place like this, arent you afraid of dying?" At that moment, the man in the Taoist robe scolded me loudly.

  I gritted my teeth and looked at the guy, who appeared to be in his thirties. Although he was wearing a Taoist robe, he looked extremely disheveled, with a full beard on his chin and a face that seemed not to have been washed for ages. On his waist, there was still a wine gourd hanging.

  My hands fell weakly by my sides as I asked the Daoist-looking guy, "Who are you?"

  "Mind your own business?" The man said coolly: "Get out of here quickly, you shouldnt be coming to this place."

  "Whats with the attitude?" I snorted: "Leave then, thinking that Id be happy to stay and watch you, a Taoist priest who looks as ugly as can be."

  After I finished speaking, I was ready to leave. Who would want to stay in this crappy place anyway?

  "Youve been grasped by this vengeful corpse, and your body has been infected with corpse poison. If you go out, within three days the corpse poison will attack your heart, and youll definitely die suddenly." The Taoist muttered indifferently behind him.

  As soon as I heard that, I hastily turned back and scolded him, saying: "Do you think Ill be afraid just because you say so? Although Zhang Lingfeng is not a good person, he still has some backbone."

  Then I hurriedly smiled and said: "However, you just saved my life, letting you stay behind to deal with this zombie alone doesnt seem quite right, I definitely cant abandon you." I shamelessly leaned in closer to the Taoist: "Moreover, Taoist master, youre handsome and elegant, refined and charming. Just based on your looks, I also cant let you be alone with this corpse, otherwise what if you cant win, wouldnt that mean the world would lose a beautiful man?"

  Its not that I dont have backbone, but when it comes to ones life, whats the use of having backbone? Can you eat it?

  The slovenly Taoist priest cast a glance at me: "So you mean Im no match for this evil corpse?"

  "How could that be? Daozhang, you have a strong and upright aura, warding off all evil influences. I just think youre handsome and elegant, and I want to stay and take another look at your handsome face and elegant demeanor."

  I had to say these flattering words in order to survive, I dont doubt that the Taoists words just now were deceiving me. The zombies fingernails are black and shiny, who knows if there is any corpse poison on them? Even if there isnt any corpse poison, cant a gray nail or something still be contagious?

  "Hmph." The Taoist, although visibly displeased with me on the surface, was apparently made more comfortable by my previous words. He pulled out a black medicinal pill and tossed it to me: "This is the antidote for Corpse Poison, eat it."

  I took the pill and swallowed it without hesitation. The wound on my arm still had a burning pain, but after taking this pill, I felt a coolness all over my body and relaxed a lot.

  "Thank you, Daozhang. Ill leave first." I said and turned around to leave. This broken place makes me feel sick the more I stay here.

  "Come back." The Taoist turned his head and said to me, "Carry this corpse back to the coffin and put it back properly. This is your own karma, I dont want to help you clean up this mess."

  "What the... Sect Leader, are you kidding me? You want me to carry this corpse back?" I looked at the corpse, although its not moving now, but its previous appearance had already scared me half to death. Now you want me to carry this corpse, of course, Im a hundred times unwilling.

  "Am I supposed to carry it?" The Taoist said as he turned around and walked out the door, saying as he went: "You yourself stirred up someone elses trouble, of course you have to be the one to end it. Remember, as long as you dont tear off that talisman there wont be any problem. After putting him back in his coffin, remember to burn three sticks of incense for him, or else hell come looking for you again."

  When his voice faded away, the Taoists figure had already disappeared.

  I looked at this corpse and felt some fear in my heart.

  "Dont worry, dont worry, this guy has been subdued by the symbol and wont cause any more trouble." I comforted myself with these words, then turned around and walked away with the corpse on my back.
