Chapter 180 – 1992-2020

For the next two days, Lian Qiao didn’t bother him anymore. The two of them recharged their batteries and finally ushered in the day of final judgment.
The first ray of sunshine in 2020 was shining on his face and RenDong had already woken up. He felt a strange itching on his skin, which expanded rapidly along some invisible lines. Immediately afterwards, with a flash in front of his eyes, he shed a layer of skin.
As usual, the shed layer of the body disappeared quickly but the feeling of shedding was really uncomfortable. RenDong sighed softly and Lian Qiao held his hand and said with a smile, “It’s almost over.”
“Yes.” RenDong shook his hand back and smiled back.
Today Xu RenDong didn’t wear a suit, but ordinary clothes that are convenient for sports. Both of them were stuffed with all kinds of weapons and supplies, and they were completely ready for battle.
The mutation first started from the ceiling.
A drop of blood fell to the ground with a thud, like a faucet that was not turned off tightly. Immediately afterwards, more blood fell to the ground and quickly gathered into a small pool of blood.
RenDong and Lian Qiao held their weapons tightly in each hand, and stood quietly in the living room, watching the pool of blood getting bigger and bigger. A human figure gradually appeared on the ceiling above his head, like a blood man lying on the ceiling, dripping blood continuously.
Lian Qiao looked up, and suddenly smiled with the corners of his mouth raised.
“Too high to reach,” he said.
“Yeah. Wait for him to come down.” RenDong said.
The two of them just watched the bloody man dripping blood without any tension in their hearts. The blood man probably also realized that these two people were not afraid at all, so he intensified and began to drop flesh.
The pieces of meat fell into a pool of blood, splashing blood all over the floor and walls. Lian Qiao frowned slightly: “It’s not easy to clean.”
RenDong laughed: “You’re going out soon and you still want to clean?”
Lian Qiao: “This is our home too, we can’t let them ruin it like this.”
After finishing speaking , as if he remembered something, he took out something from the bag.
When RenDong saw that thing, he was stunned: “…you still brought this?”

Lian Qiao: “Thanks to the Gentleman for giving me inspiration.”
He raised his hand slightly and a nail gun in his hand was aimed at the ceiling. After a few biu biu sounds, a cold light suddenly appeared and dozens of iron nails suddenly appeared on the blood man’s body.
The nail gun was quite powerful, with more than a dozen iron nails, each of which penetrated deeply into the blood man’s body. The blood man wailed terribly, his bloody body writhed wildly like a skinned snake, but he couldn’t break free from the iron nail no matter what.
Although the bloody man was pinned, the expressions on the faces of the other two were more serious than before.
“It’s really become stronger.” RenDong said.
Lian Qiao nodded: “As expected.”
The weapons on their bodies were all consecrated by the Monk. Just pulling out the crowbar that had been used at the beginning could make the hungry ghosts fearful but now the iron nails were shot directly at the ghost. The ghost just struggled and did not dissipate directly.
But at least this weapon can still cause substantial damage to ghosts, so they won’t be powerless to resist.
The two of them sighed lightly when they thought up to this point and then, when they looked into each other’s eyes, courage appeared again.
Their clenched hands gave each other faith, no matter what was waiting for them ahead, they would go on bravely and fight to the last moment.
After all, the iron nail had been read scriptures and the bloody man was nailed to the ceiling by iron nails. Although he didn’t dissipate immediately, he gradually became immobile. After a few more minutes, the place where the heavy nails were pierced into the bloody man’s body began to crack and the flesh and blood that had been falling down began to fall at a faster speed.
In the end, the whole blood man turned into sludge and all of them were soaked in the pool of blood on the ground. Only a blood-red figure remained on the ceiling.
Xu RenDong looked at the figure and his heart skipped a beat.
He thought of the white figures drawn on the ground by the police after Little Apple died on the university campus.
Could this ghost be Little Apple?
Xu RenDong hesitated for a moment and then asked: “How did you kill Little Apple?”
Lian Qiao didn’t seem surprised why he asked the question at this time and replied very calmly: “Use a crowbar to hit the back of her head. The pointed end.”

Although Xu RenDong had roughly guessed it earlier, he still pursed his lips subconsciously.
Lian Qiao glanced at him and added: “Instant death, no pain, don’t worry. The wound on her neck, I did it after she was completely dead.”
Xu RenDong gave a low “en”.
Lian Qiao smiled and stuffed the nail gun into his hand: “You take this. This is our only long-range weapon.”
Xu RenDong pushed the nail gun back: “I haven’t played with this before, so I’m sure it won’t be accurate. It’s a waste of nails. You are skilled, so you should take it.”
Lian Qiao said: “Then you take the crowbar.”
The only weapon in their hands was a long-range nail gun. The crowbar was the only one consecrated at a temple. It can be said that these two are the strongest weapons in their hands.
Since Lian Qiao took the nail gun, he would definitely give up the crowbar to RenDong, otherwise it would be impossible to feel at ease.
But this crowbar was the one that killed Little Apple. Although Lian Qiao handed out the crowbar, there was hesitation on his face: “If you mind…”
Xu RenDong took it without hesitation and said with a smile: “Right now I can’t even guarantee my own livelihood so I don’t care about these matters anymore.”
Lian Qiao’s eyes fell on the crowbar vaguely and suddenly said: “When we go out, I will find out the real identity of Little Apple. Then I will go to her grave to apologize.”
RenDong stared at him and a very complicated emotion welled up in my heart.
But in the end RenDong didn’t say anything. He just raised his hand and gently rubbed Lian Qiao’s hair.
Lian Qiao narrowed his eyes, raised his head slightly and enjoyed the caress with an almost pious expression.
However, the short-lived warmth was quickly broken.
There was the sound of music in Xu RenDong’s backpack and both of them were taken aback.
This was the phone ringtone. Xu RenDong quickly took out his mobile phone from his backpack and the caller ID on the screen turned out to be his boss.
“A call at this time?” Xu RenDong frowned.

Lian Qiao glanced at the time on the phone: “It’s nine o’clock. I guess it’s because you didn’t come so they’re urging you to hurry to work.”
Xu RenDong laughed: “It’s the end of the world and I have to go to work, isn’t it too miserable for me?” He then hung up the phone directly.
Unexpectedly, the moment he hung up the phone, there was a sudden “buzz” in his mind, as if a string was suddenly tightened.
“Oh!” Xu RenDong trembled all over, covering his ears with his hands.
“What’s wrong?” Lian Qiao was surprised.
The string in the ear seemed to be directly connected to the brain, and it was getting tighter and tighter, causing him brain pain. This kind of pain hits the soul directly from the depths of the brain and there is nowhere to escape. Xu RenDong only felt that his brain was about to be strangled like tofu.
All his strength was used against the pain and fear, so he shook his head at Lian Qiao, unable to utter a word.
“Let me see.” Lian Qiao pulled his hand away forcefully, his face changed slightly and he said in a deep voice, “Your ears are bleeding.”
Xu RenDong glanced at the palm of his hand in severe pain. Sure enough, there was a pool of blood lying in the white palm, which was shocking.
He gritted his teeth and looked around, but the apartment was quiet and there was nothing.
What was it that hurt him?
The pain in his head prevented him from concentrating. When he was at a loss, the mobile phone on the table vibrated again.
The cell phone rang urgently and it pierced his ears like steel needles. Now he couldn’t bear it anymore, covered his ears hard and squatted down in pain.
Lian Qiao’s eyes darkened. He grabbed the phone on the table and connected it directly.
“Hello?”
There was no voice on the other end of the phone.
Lian Qiao was extremely irritable. He suppressed his emotions and said in a deep voice: “Speak.”

Only then did a shrill laugh sound come from the phone. The laughter was obviously female but it was exaggerated, like a madwoman. Lian Qiao couldn’t tell if that was RenDong’s boss.
After answering the phone, RenDong immediately felt the string in his mind become loose. He regained his strength, stood up from the ground panting and asked Lian Qiao: “What did she say?”
Lian Qiao hung up the phone and said, “Just laughed, didn’t say anything.”
Xu RenDong smiled bitterly: “I’m afraid it means I have to go to work.”
Lian Qiao didn’t comment but silently put away the phone. He then took out iodophor cotton balls from the backpack, and wiped the blood in Xu RenDong’s ears.
He gently lifted RenDong’s chin and shone a flashlight into RenDong’s ear canal to see if RenDong’s tympanic membrane was injured. But the depths of the ear canal had been clogged with blood clots, so it was impossible to judge the extent of the injury.
There were no tweezers on hand and Lian Qiao didn’t dare to pick it out with his fingers, for fear that the blood he had finally stopped would gush out again. His face became more gloomy.
RenDong tilted his head, letting him handle the injury for herself and gradually became aware of the low air pressure around her. He turned his head and said, “It’s okay, it doesn’t hurt anymore. My hearing isn’t affected at all so it should just be to scare me.”
Lian Qiao lowered his eyes and sighed softly: “You are always like this…”
RenDong didn’t quite hear: “What?”
Lian Qiao turned his face, stared into his eyes and said seriously: “Don’t say such things again, okay? You are obviously in pain. Don’t say ‘I’m fine’, ‘I’m fine’… Do you think my heart won’t hurt if you lie to me like this?”
“…” RenDong was stunned for a moment. After a moment of silence, he rubbed his nose in embarrassment, “I’m used to it, I’m sorry. Actually it hurts a little. A little bit, really only a little bit. It’s much better than before.” Lian Qiao stared at him to confirm that he was not lying, then sighed: “That’s good. Let’s go.”
“Yes.”
The two put their backpacks on their backs and walked out of the room. Xu RenDong subconsciously took out the key to lock the door but. just as he stretched out his hand, it froze in mid-air.
Lian Qiao looked at him in surprise.
RenDong raised his head, looked at the familiar apartment and said with a slight smile: “This is obviously a world of monsters and ghosts, and no one will come to steal things. Besides, even if the door is locked, it can’t stop ghosts. Why should I lock it?”
But Lian Qiao took the key from him, locked the door solemnly and said, “Because this is our home.”
Xu RenDong looked at him, and his heart was suddenly filled with warm courage. Not even the last trace of weakness remained.
