"This is the last video that my sister sent me before she disappeared. I've been looking for the room in the video, paying attention to any clues that might lead to that room.
"Hard work pays off. When I was browsing the school's forum, I accidentally came across a post about Western Jiujiang Medical University's ghost stories. One of them was called The Statue That Can Cry.
"According to legend, if you can find the statue after midnight, you can ask it to verify the authenticity of a sentence. If the sentence is true, it will cry tears of blood, but if it's false, something scary will happen."
Ma Yin found the screenshot of the post from her phone. There was a picture at the end of the post, and coincidentally, the statue in the picture was the same as the one in Ma Yin's sister's video.
It was a Western-style statue of an adult male. He was slightly larger than normal, and his face was ugly. There was a sentence written on the base — Lies have the appearance of beauty, but the truth is always ugly.
"I've messaged the poster to find out where he got the picture, but he hasn't given me a reply.
"Later, I contacted the poster through my professor. He said that he took the picture in an abandoned warehouse. At the time, he thought the statue matched the ghost story, so he uploaded it together.
"Ever since the medical university moved to the new campus, no one has been inside the warehouse. If he's telling the truth, then the statue is definitely still inside the warehouse."
Ma Yin and Liu Xianxian were best friends. Ma Yin was a very open person, and once she trusted someone, she would not hold back.
"Hopefully, we can find it this time. I really want to know the answer."
The two girls jumped over the railing and snuck into the abandoned education block.
"I'm not used to this place every time. It feels like there's someone else here other than us."
Afraid of attracting the security guard's attention, Ma Yin and Liu Xianxian did not turn on the flashlight on their phones. They touched the wall and slowly moved toward the end of the corridor.
"It's such a waste that this building is abandoned. I wonder why the school would rather leave it empty than rent it out," Ma Yin mumbled to herself. Ma Yin mumbled to herself. She was afraid, but it was not convenient for her to show it in front of Liu Xianxian. She seemed to really treat Liu Xianxian as her best friend, so when they explored the path, she walked in front alone, shielding Liu Xianxian behind her.
Liu Xianxian, who was relatively small, followed behind Ma Yin. After they entered the education block, she also became nervous. "Xiao Yin, after we came here a few times, I asked the seniors who have already graduated a few years ago about the situation. They said that there's a reason why this education block is abandoned, and there's a reason why the other departments moved to the new campus."
"What's the reason?" Ma Yin was tall and looked more muscular than a normal girl, but that did not mean that she was brave.
"It seems to have something to do with the cadavers. This education block was sealed because it was too close to the lab building." Liu Xianxian looked out the window, and something strange happened at Western Jiujiang Medical University at 2 am.
If the whole campus was divided into four parts, east, south, and west, there would be light in all three directions, and only the west side would be dark.
"According to rumors, the biggest underground morgue in Jiujiang is on the west side of our school. Not turning on the lights after midnight is a tradition left behind from a long time ago. The cadavers work hard in the day and need to rest at night, but do you believe that?" Liu Xianxian's voice was strange, and her face looked especially pale that day.
"Yes, it is strange."
"There are many strange things at this school. Do you remember what the counselor said when we first joined the school? Do not enter the western campus alone after midnight. Someone asked him why, but he would not give an answer. Later, I asked the seniors and found out that a long time ago, there was a new student who went online at night and saw someone waving at him. He ran into the western campus at night and saw a mutilated cadaver specimen in the lab. "
The more Liu Xianxian said, the darker her face became. "There are many similar things, and now I can't tell what's real and what's fake."
"Liu Xianxian, we've been looking for several nights already. Don't give up now." From how Ma Yin saw it, Liu Xianxian was her only friend. If Liu Xianxian gave up, then she would have to search for the statue related to her sister's disappearance alone.
"I know, but I suddenly feel like I'm being stupid for insisting on this." Liu Xianxian took out her phone and wished to delete one of her contacts.
The two girls walked to the corner of the staircase and entered the basement.
After they confirmed that no one was following them, they turned on the flashlight on their phone.
"It feels like this place has become colder." The cold wind caressed Ma Yin's hair. She squeezed with Liu Xianxian. "There's no ventilation in sight. I wonder where the wind is coming from."
Their shoulders touched, and Ma Yin suddenly realized that Liu Xianxian's body was very cold like she was frozen.
"Liu Xianxian? Why is your body so cold? "
"I'm a bit nervous."
"Don't be afraid, you still have me. No matter what happens, I'll be there to protect you."
The two of them walked down the basement corridor. They did not enter the rooms on the side but headed down to the second floor.
There was a stain on the stairs, and it looked dirty like someone had dragged something down.
"Someone was here before us." Ma Yin looked at the water stain on the ground and sniffed the lingering smell in the air. As a medical student, she was very familiar with this smell. "It smells like formalin."
"Formalin is strictly prohibited from leaving the lab, so why would it be here?" Liu Xianxian knew the use of formalin — it was used to preserve cadavers. "The education block is connected to the Western Sector. Did someone enter the underground morgue? A few years ago, I heard people stole cadavers to sell. "
"Probably not. Even if they could remove the cadavers from the underground morgue, how would they transport them out of the school? The ground is covered with surveillance cameras. " Ma Yin comforted Liu Xianxian. "Don't overthink it. The underground morgue has regular maintenance, so it should be them."
"If it was them, they wouldn't have entered from the education block. They would have gone through the front door. I still think something is wrong." Even though Liu Xianxian said there was a problem, she was faster than Ma Yin.
She held the wall and reached the second floor. She raised her phone to look around.
There was a corridor on the left and right, and there were signs on the wall. The right led to the normal storeroom, and the left led to the underground morgue.
There were more and more water stains on the ground, and it was obvious that the water was concentrated in the corridor on the left.
