There are a lot of spare rooms here, but they're not big.
Just an ordinary bungalow.
But it occupies a large area.
Yu Zhile chose a room slightly closer to the courtyard.
It's very clean inside, no dust at all.
After searching the room, he found a set of clothes, the old gown, very primitive.
The clothes are placed in a conspicuous place, so you can see them at a glance even without the need for light.
He didn't care whether the clothes were prepared by the old man, so he just put them on. They didn't fit well, but they were okay.
The room was very dark, and his eyesight was not very good now, and it was much weaker than normal people's eyesight.
Moreover, the movement of his eyes was extremely jerky, which made him a little uncomfortable.
There is an oil lamp in the room and matches on the table.
Soon, a dim light came on in the room, just like the light he had just woken up to.
There is a mirror in the room, which is very clean and seems to be wiped frequently.
With the help of the light of the oil lamp, Yu Zhile saw what he looked like now.
It is normal to be pale and have black sutures around the eye sockets.
As he had guessed before, his eyes were sewn in.
He turned his eyes slightly, and he could see the black lines that were deeply inserted into the depths of his eyeballs being rotated and pulled out.
The angle at which his eyes can move is also limited.
The overall image is not very beautiful, it can even be said to be oozing.
Although his facial features were okay and fairly handsome, the sutures around his eyes and neck made him look like a living dead that had been reassembled by Frankenstein.
Yu Zhile reached out and touched the black thread on his neck. He had a feeling that as long as the black thread was pulled out and destroyed, he would die.
"The inheritance of an old guy?"
Yu Zhile was no longer watching his miserable state. He blew out the oil lamp and lay on the bed.
He doesn't care what the inheritance is, he just wants to live and then verify whether he is still dreaming.
"If I wasn't dreaming, I would try my best to satisfy the conditions put forward by Zhang Dong, even though they are false."
"Zhang Dong, if I die, I'm sorry. It's because I'm incompetent. Life and death are fateful. I can't go on smoothly all the time."
“In this world, luck plays the most important role, followed by courage and brains.”
"Everyone dies, including me."
Yu Zhile closed his eyes, mentally responding to what Zhang Dong said when he finally took action.
He was desperate at the moment, but there was so much despair that he didn't care.
He was just unconvinced.
Whether it was a dream or not, he should be that god.
If he died, it was just bad luck.
He betrayed Zhang Dong's trust.
None of this actually matters.
The capable are capable, the weak are weak.
He slowly closed his eyes and began to feel his body.
His current body is neither human nor ghost. There are powerful ghosts in it, but he cannot control it.
It should be the old man's method.
Maybe tomorrow, the old man will tell you how to control the ghost, or let the ghost in him complete some puzzle pieces.
He had just woken up not long ago, and his head was a little dizzy at the moment. He could not resist this feeling. He had not experienced this feeling in his dream for a long time.
So, he fell asleep quickly. He was very tired now, and he was sleeping deeply at this moment.
The next day came again without realizing it.
When the first ray of sunlight came on in the morning, Yu Zhile opened his disharmonious eyes.
He sat up and looked around blankly, and soon he understood his situation.
Yu Zhile didn't say anything, got off the bed and walked out of the room with bare feet.
At this moment, there were three people standing in the yard.
The old man lay on the Taishi's chair with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.
"Is anyone awake again?"
"It seems like he's taken to it pretty quickly."
The three of them looked back at Yu Zhile, with some surprise in their eyes.
Yu Zhile looked at the three people. They were all in the same situation as him.
There were stitched wounds on his hands, feet, and neck. The black threads made the wounds look hideous and terrifying.
One of the three men, a man in his thirties, had a stitched wound on his face that went to his chin.
This wound made the man look fierce, like a gangster.
The man's body is also very strong.
The three of them wore similar clothes to him, all wearing long robes from the Republic of China period.
Men wearing this kind of gown look a bit undecent, mainly because they don't fit well.
The other two looked relatively normal, they were two young men in their twenties, with no wounds on their faces.
Just as the three of them were looking at Yu Zhile, two young and beautiful women walked out of the room at the corner of the courtyard.
The condition looked similar to theirs. There were wounds stitched with black stitches on his neck, hands, feet, and joints, but his face was clean.
The pale faces, combined with these strange wounds, gave these two women a different and strange sense of beauty.
There were seven people in the yard, six non-human and ghostly things, and an old man.
When the two women came out, the old man opened his eyes as if he had just woken up from sleep. He looked at the six people indifferently.
"From now on, you six are my apprentices. I have already told you your names."
The old man glanced at Yu Zhile and did not introduce the other five people for Yu Zhile.
It doesn't matter.
"Come." The old man stood up and ignored the five people who were confused. At this moment, he became more and more appreciative of Yu Zhile, who always looked calm.
The six people didn't know what the old man planned to do, so they could only follow behind him.
The old man led six people to a room. When he opened the door, he saw corpses covered with white cloth with only their feet exposed.
At a rough count, there were almost twelve.
The old man lifted the white cloth, and a naked female corpse appeared in front of several people.
The appearance of the female corpse made the two women frown, but it made the three men's eyes light up slightly.
This female corpse was in perfect condition, with no damage to her body. Her skin was fair but without blood. Her eyes were closed and her expression was peaceful.
"Look, I'll only teach you once."
The old man looked at the six people with no emotion in his eyes.
Yu Zhile looked at the old man expressionlessly, watching quietly.
The old man nodded secretly. He was sure that Yu Zhile's dream was not the kind of dream he had in mind, and it was probably not the kind of happy dream he had.
Thinking of this, the old man appreciated Yu Zhile even more.
Such people have a chance to survive supernatural events.
With no desire, only the obsession to live, this kind of person is the most suitable to become a ghost controller.
The old man withdrew his gaze and pressed his body against the female corpse's chest. A woman's face with eyes closed appeared on the old man's other hand.
The old man's hand holding the female corpse's chest gently moved across the female corpse's chest and abdomen, and the female corpse was immediately disemboweled.
The bloodless internal organs inside appeared in the eyes of several people. The two women suddenly had the idea of vomiting, but because they were neither human nor ghosts, they could not do this physiological need.
Except for Yu Zhile and the old man, everyone present felt uncomfortable.
The two women suddenly couldn't bear it any longer and began to retching.
The old man looked at the two of them coldly, expressionless, without saying a word, just minding his own business.
The disemboweled female corpse lay in front of them. The old man pressed the woman's face in his hand onto the woman's chest.
"Our mission is very simple. Within a month, we can sew a body that can be controlled."
"Once the face on your chest opens its eyes during this period, that will be when you die. If you want the face to not open, it is very simple. This face only eats internal organs. If the internal organs are not eaten, it will not Resuscitated.”
When the human face was pressed against the female corpse's chest, a black line appeared strangely on the old man's disemboweled hand. This black line penetrated the woman's body and sewed the human face to the woman's body.
Immediately afterwards, this black thread quickly sewed up the wound of the female corpse.
Suddenly, the female corpse opened her eyes, and then sat up suddenly.
"ah!"
The two women were frightened immediately, and even the three men were frightened. This sudden scene frightened them completely.
How could this female corpse sit up so well?
A corpse that doesn't sleep well is not a good corpse.
Yu Zhile was the calmest, just watching.
The old man looked at the five fussing people with no expression on his face. The female corpse lay down again. After the old man stretched out his hand to cut off the tightly closed face, he looked at the six people.
"Do you understand?"
Yu Zhile said nothing, looking at the female corpse with a black suture line from chest to abdomen.
What really makes the female corpse stand up is not the face but the black lines.
That human face should have another function.
Seeing no one answered, the old man didn't care, "I only have one apprentice."
After the old man left a terrifying word, he walked out of the room.
The room door suddenly closed at this moment.
The other five people still didn't understand what was going on, and some were just confused.
Yu Zhile narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Can only one survive?"
The old man definitely does not mean that whoever meets the old man's requirements first will be the old man's disciple.
Yu Zhile can be sure that only one person will survive in this room in the end.
The sound of the room door closing brought several people back to their senses instantly.
The two women were panic-stricken. They immediately tried to open the door, but found that the door seemed to be welded shut and could not be opened.
"Can't open it!" The two beautiful women looked back at the four men uneasily.
Yu Zhile supported the three men and was attracted by the woman's attention. He gently walked around behind the largest man.
Looking at the black sutured wound on the man's back, he didn't even see the thread.
Some things cannot be started by him.
Yu Zhile gave up the idea in his heart.
"It seems that you can only go out after completing the task assigned by the old man." A young man among the three was the first to calm down. He looked at the body covered with white cloth in the room, his eyes thoughtful.
Several people became quiet after hearing this.
"That weird old man must have something up his sleeve, but he won't pose any danger to us for the time being, otherwise we would have died long ago." The young man began to analyze the situation.
The young man saw clearly, but Yu Zhile had some concerns in his mind. It seemed that these people woke up at the same time as him, or there were already several groups of people in front of him.
But without exception they all died.
The stitched corpses in that room might be their seniors.
"What if we...can't learn it?" One of the two women asked uneasily.
The largest man looked at the corpses covered with white cloth and said, "Maybe... it's not as good as the fate of these corpses..."
There was silence in the room, and the atmosphere was extremely strange.
Yu Zhile did not participate in their Q&A and tried to reduce his presence as much as possible.
"If you want to live, you can only follow what the old man said." The young man sighed, took the lead in walking towards a corpse covered with white cloth, and then began to think about how to remove the corpse.
When the others saw this scene, they all had concerns in their hearts. The man reacted quickly and quickly looked for the body that was looking at him comfortably.
After hesitating for a long time and whispering something quietly, the two women tried to pick up the body.
Yu Zhile stood in front of a corpse and began to study it in a pretentious manner, but his attention was always on the others, and he deliberately kept a safe distance from them.
He clearly knew what was the key to controlling the corpse.
It’s physical spirits and ghosts.
Others may not have seen clearly what the old man showed just now, but he could see it clearly.
This is clearly two ghosts suppressing each other.
That face and that black line.
It is easy for the old man to control the corpse, but it is difficult for them because the ghost faces on them are weak and the black thread on their bodies is only used to sew the joints.
He couldn't even feel the ghost in his body.
This shows that relying solely on this physical thing is not enough.
The ghost faces and black lines have to be more magical, but they cannot be out of balance.
As for what the old man said about grimaces eating internal organs, it's true, and that's why there are so many corpses here.
But if they can't control the evil spirits in their bodies when Ghostface opens their eyes, they will die because their internal organs have been eaten, and they need to have the ability to replace them.
From the moment the old man started to demonstrate, Yu Zhile knew that the key to surviving was not whether he could control the corpse, but whether he could control the black lines on his body before the ghost face could eat all the internal organs in the body.
"After killing one of them, can I take something from them?"
Yu Zhile was thinking about this matter. When a person is alive, he does not pose a threat, but it is different after death. The ghost in the body will revive.
"You still have to control your own ghost first."
The grimace is actually not important, what is important is the black lines on the body.
After pretending to study the corpse for a while, Yu Zhile simply gave up and squatted in the corner, curling up.
When the five people in the room saw this scene, they didn't say anything. The matter had nothing to do with themselves. They had no obligation to dissuade others from dying.
Yu Zhile just looked at the few people, watching them keep trying on the corpse.
And he was silently trying to sense and control the ghosts in his body that could not be sensed but did exist.
Time passed like this, and it was three days in a flash.
In three days, all the corpses in the room were thoroughly studied, but no one came in. From the beginning to the end, Yu Zhile huddled in the corner without saying a word, just staring at the five. After three days, his spirit gradually collapsed. people.
As time passed, they could all feel that their internal organs were disappearing little by little, and the face on their chest was slowly opening its eyes.
