Listening to Officer Hu's tense voice, the amused expression on Officer Ma's face instantly froze.
Staring intently at the screen, at the corpse lying flat on the mortuary slab.
Then he stiffly opened his mouth to speak:
"Old Hu..."
"Are you kidding me? This isn't a joke!"
But neither Officer Hu nor Officer Ma found anything unusual.
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief, and Officer Ma said to Officer Hu irritably:
"You just love scaring people all day long with nonsense!"
Officer Hu awkwardly waved his hand in apology:
"I guess I must have seen it wrong."
Little did they know, the expressions on the faces of the two women behind them were each very different!
First, Hu Huixin, the girl was looking at the surveillance footage with an expression of utter delight!
"Hahaha! Zhang Feng, you can't keep up the act anymore?!"
"Now my dad and Uncle Ma are watching you from the surveillance room!"
"Let's see how you explain yourself then!!"
Certainly, in Hu Huixin's eyes, since Zhang Feng proactively requested Liang Yongcheng to look at his daughter's body alone at night.
He definitely wanted the corpse to rise, and then point out Liang Yongcheng on the spot!
Once Zhang Feng raises the corpse!
He won't be able to hide the fact that he's not a normal human anymore!
I'd like to see how you'll keep up your act then?
Humph!
Hu Huixin's lips curled up in delight.
But Lin Rui's expression was completely different from Hu Huixin's!
"Oh no, oh no, oh no!"
"How did I forget about this?!"
"Did Zhang Feng forget too, that the two officers are watching the surveillance?!!"
"No, I have to remind Zhang Feng, or it'll all be exposed!"
Saying that, Lin Rui quietly moved her feet and subtly slipped out of the surveillance room.
Because Officer Ma and Officer Hu's attention was entirely on the surveillance footage, they didn't notice Lin Rui's disappearance at all.
Inside the mortuary.
Liang Yongcheng gathered his thoughts again and slowly moved towards the mortuary slab.
Fortunately, nothing went wrong on this short journey.
Worried that his legs might feel weak from tension and fear, he also pulled a chair over and slowly sat down.
For the first time, his gaze fell on the gray and cold cheeks of his daughter.
"Gulp~"
Feeling guilty, he couldn't help but swallow.
Luckily, his daughter's body had her eyes closed at the moment.
If he saw his daughter's pupils, Liang Yongcheng might have wet himself in fear.
Looking at his daughter, covered in cement, Liang Yongcheng kept breathing deeply, finally comforting himself:
"Anyway, she's already dead, what's there to be afraid of about a dead body?"
Once he calmed his mind.
Liang Yongcheng finally spoke:
"Daughter..."
"It's Daddy's fault..."
The sincerity in this statement was obvious.
But the next sentence lacked any real sincerity:
"It's all Daddy's fault for not seeing through that murderer, and even marrying her to remarry myself."
"Daddy's the one who harmed you, hope you won't blame Daddy..."
"Just rest here... in peace..."
While speaking, Liang Yongcheng tremblingly stretched out his hand, preparing to touch his daughter's cheek one last time.
But just as he raised his hand, Liang Yongcheng didn't know if it was an illusion or real, but he seemed to hear a voice whisper beside his ear:
"As swift as the directive!"
It must have been an illusion!
Liang Yongcheng was certain.
How could there be a directive at this time?
But just as his hand was less than three centimeters from his daughter's cheek.
Suddenly.
His daughter's eyelids, still stained with cement, snapped open!
Revealing those grayish-white irises inside.
Witnessing this scene.
Liang Yongcheng's hand froze instantly.
The color on his face faded away like a tide.
"Ah——!!!"
A scream of terror and despair erupted instantly.
The whole person hurriedly tried to run away.
But the chair he had pulled over earlier to steady his legs became an obstacle.
"Crash!" With a sound, he fell directly to the ground.
"No... no, no, no..."
The panicked and terrified Liang Yongcheng frantically clawed at the floor.
Struggling desperately to get up, he staggered to distance himself from his daughter's body.
Climbing up from the floor, Liang Yongcheng's eyes were fixed on the mortuary slab before him.
But at this time, he suddenly found that his daughter's body had actually returned to its original state, lying peacefully with eyes closed, just like before.
Liang Yongcheng, drenched in cold sweat, swallowed heavily.
He even rubbed his eyes.
Confirming once again that his daughter's body remained unchanged.
Finally, he displayed a look of great relief.
He even stomped his feet twice on the ground.
Smoothening his chest continuously as he murmured softly:
"I was mistaken... I must have been mistaken just now..."
"How could a corpse move? Open its eyes? Did I see a ghost?"
"How is it possible, how could there possibly be ghosts in this world!"
Liang Yongcheng continuously comforted himself.
His pupils darting as he glanced at the corpse on the mortuary slab.
As if to make sure once again, he nervously reached out his hand.
Gently waving it over his daughter's face.
Sure enough, the body no longer reacted.
This time, Liang Yongcheng was completely relieved.
He had indeed seen it wrong!
But!
This is a place of trouble, I can't stay here any longer!
If I stay any longer, I'll have nightmares every night!
So.
"Gulp!" With a loud swallow, Liang Yongcheng said quickly:
"Daughter, may you be reborn well, don't think about Daddy anymore."
After saying that, as if escaping, Liang Yongcheng turned to leave.
But just as he turned.
An ethereal and distant female voice, laced with coldness, echoed in the mortuary:
"Daddy, I'm so cold..."
Liang Yongcheng's steps froze instantly.
The whole person stood still!
Shaking all over, like a washing machine's spin dryer.
Cold sweat continuously flying out.
"Clatter, clatter, clatter" the sound of Liang Yongcheng's teeth chattering from trembling.
Struggling to control his body to turn his head slowly.
Finding that the corpse on the mortuary slab still lay quietly, motionless.
"An auditory hallucination, it must have been an auditory hallucination for sure!"
Liang Yongcheng turned his head quickly with a "whoosh!"
Not planning to respond to that voice at all, he turned and started to run!
The mortuary door handle was the ray of hope for Liang Yongcheng!
Yet, it seemed he had no chance to touch that ray of hope at all.
The chilling voice echoed once again behind him:
"Daddy... don't go... I'm scared!"
"Ah——!!!"
Liang Yongcheng finally couldn't hold it any longer.
Screaming wildly, he yelled:
"Who?! Who are you?!"
"Who's talking?!!"
"I'm not your daddy, I'm not your daddy!!"
Liang Yongcheng was utterly terrified now.
But there were also two others who felt chills down their spines, bodies freezing cold.
It was Officer Ma and Officer Hu sitting in the surveillance room.
Both of their faces were equally pale, they stared at each other stiffly, bodies slightly trembling.
Officer Hu nervously said:
"Old Ma... old Ma..."
"I can't be hallucinating, right? Did a woman's voice just come from in there?!"
