Chapter 242 The Headless Old Woman
Chapter 242 The Headless Old Woman
In the typical world of Hong Kong films, one can at most acquire ordinary skills like becoming a master of martial arts.
But in the supernatural world, there actually appeared such a bizarre thing as a cheat code that locks your health.
Li Jian is even looking forward to encountering an even more dangerous world in the future, wondering if immortality will ever exist.
What an unexpected surprise! What an unexpected surprise!
A smile appeared on Li Jian's lips:
"Wait a moment!"
As he was about to leave, Daoist Ming heard someone speaking and turned around to see Li Jian waving at him.
Li Jian reached into his pocket and pulled out a Hong Kong dollar bill: "Fellow Daoist Ming, right? I can see you're not having an easy time. Here, I have 1000 dollars. Take it and get through this."
Li Jian only had 1000 yuan bills on him, no change.
When Dao Youming saw the 1000 Hong Kong dollars, his eyes lit up. He took the bill with both hands and bowed like a lackey: "Thank you, brother, thank you, brother. May you have boundless happiness and longevity."
May good fortune be with you, and may you enjoy good health, prosperity, all your wishes fulfilled, continuous advancement in your career, the fulfillment of your dreams, a thriving future, longevity like pine and cypress, a long and happy marriage, smooth sailing, everything going as you wish, five blessings at your door, double sixes of good fortune, seven stars shining brightly upon you, and wealth coming from all directions...
Dao Youming's words were full of auspicious phrases, which made Li Jian laugh heartily.
This fellow Daoist may seem like just a small fry, but he's quick-witted; otherwise, he wouldn't be alive today.
Captain Lu and his men seemed to have become accustomed to this.
Captain Lu kicked Dao Youming in the butt: "You've got the money, now get out of here!"
Dao Youming was as slippery as an eel, disappearing into the stairwell in a flash.
"Sigh..." Li Jian wanted to chat with fellow Daoist Ming for a bit longer.
Speaking of this fellow Daoist Ming, although he is just a slacker, he has another nickname - the Undying War God.
In the Hong Kong film *Out of the Dark*, Dao Youming is first stabbed, then shot, electrocuted, involved in a car accident, and suffers massive blood loss... An ordinary person would have died ten times over, but Dao Youming remains resilient and even survives to the end in this horror film.
Li Jian even suspected that he had used a cheat to lock his health.
Li Jian really wanted to ask Daoist Ming how he cultivated his vitality; it was incredibly awesome.
Captain Lu, with a smirk, looked at Li Jian and said, "Mr. Li, this kid is a scumbag. Don't be fooled by his sweet talk. You shouldn't have given him the money. It's like throwing a meat bun to a dog—it's gone forever!"
"My pleasure!"
Li Jian didn't like the fat security guard because the man looked a lot like the Minister who fed the young master a pancake.
The chubby security guard's attempt to be helpful was met with a cold shoulder; he had only made a fool of himself.
I was just about to walk downstairs.
"Wait a minute!"
Lyon suddenly raised his hand to stop the fat security guard.
The chubby security guard, confused, slapped Leon's hand away and said, "Don't stop me, I still need to go downstairs to patrol."
"Captain Lu... please help me."
An old woman's voice came from downstairs.
Captain Lu looked down and saw a person lying on the ground!
Li Jian and the others naturally saw it too, but they didn't think much of it. A-Qun even pointed at the person on the ground and said, "Brother, why is that old lady lying on the ground?"
Leon adjusted his sunglasses and said, "Don't go over there, there's something wrong with this old woman!"
"What problems could an old woman possibly have? You have no compassion!"
Ah Qun was just about to walk over.
Captain Lu had already raised his leg and kicked the old woman in the head.
Bah!
The old woman's head flew off her shoulder like a soccer ball and rolled down the stairs.
Ah!
Ah!
At the same time, Captain Lu and A-Qun screamed in the stairwell.
Soon, only Captain Lu's screams remained.
Li Jian covered A-Qun's mouth with his hand, and his voice was stuck in his throat.
Captain Lu was horrified, his fat face jiggling wildly. He closed his eyes and cried out, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!"
The old woman's mouth on her head opened and closed: "It's none of your business."
Captain Lu turned to run away, but suddenly the old woman's headless corpse stretched out two hands and grabbed Captain Lu's thigh muscles tightly, sinking deep into them.
Captain Lu cried out, "I've never done anything wrong in my life! Don't frame me! I only occasionally peek at women taking a bath!"
The old woman opened her mouth: "Captain Lu, if I wanted to harm you, I would have done it last night when I came back to seek revenge on my son and daughter-in-law."
Captain Lu was taken aback and asked, "You came back last night to seek revenge on your son and daughter-in-law?"
The old woman slowly said, "I was killed by my son and daughter-in-law. They will get their retribution sooner or later. Captain Lu, please help me put my head back in, and I will tell you the whole story slowly."
Captain Lu shuddered upon hearing this: "Huh? You want me to put your head back in? I... I can't do that."
Captain Lu turned to Li Jian and the others: "Who among you will help me?"
Ah Qun immediately hid behind Li Jian, only showing her head: "Even I can't do it."
Leon said, "Captain Lu, this is the old woman's request. If you don't grant it, her resentment will be transferred to you, and you might be in big trouble later!"
"Oh? That bad?"
Captain Lu hated himself. Why did he have to come up on patrol so late at night? If he had just slacked off like the others, he certainly wouldn't have run into this mess.
For the sake of future happiness, Captain Lu gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and slowly moved downstairs step by step.
One step, two steps, one step, two steps, like claws and fangs, like the steps of a devil.
"Ouch, you stuck it up my nostril!"
The old woman couldn't help but cry out.
Captain Lu quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to stab you."
A-Qun asked, "Can you insert it into the nostrils too?"
Li Jian gave her a sharp rap on the head, annoyed: "Kids shouldn't ask so many questions."
Captain Lu cupped the old lady's head in his hands, squinted his eyes, and said, "Grandma, just tell me what you want. I will definitely help you call the police and seek justice for you. I also know a lawyer named Bao Longxing. He is very good at handling cases."
The old woman's head said, "Thank you, Captain Lu."
Seeing that the old lady did not retaliate, Li Jian and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
suddenly.
A cold voice came from behind: "What are you doing here?"
Everyone turned around.
Then I saw Mr. Li from the 9th floor standing at the top of the stairs, holding a gleaming watermelon knife in his hand.
Captain Lu instinctively replied, "It's nothing, I'll put your mother's head back in."
Mr. Li's eyes darkened: "Want to call the police?"
Seeing that the visitors were hostile, Captain Lu grabbed the old lady's head and ran downstairs.
Mr. Li drew his knife and gave chase.
Li Jian and his two companions quickly stepped aside to make way for Mr. Li.
After Mr. Li's figure disappeared into the stairwell, Li Jian and the other two looked at each other in bewilderment.
