The sound of mud falling got closer. Chen Ge leaned against the door and raised the hammer.
There was light in the darkness, and a white shadow walked out from the corridor that was not painted white.
The man was wearing a white coat and a thick mask. He had a flashlight under his armpit and two large red buckets in his hands.
He moved fast, and something sticky kept falling out from the buckets.
As he got closer, a pungent smell hit him.
It was not just formalin — there was a more disgusting smell mixed in with it.
"This … looks like a living person."
Chen Ge did not put down the hammer. He stared at the man. "Is he one of the school workers? But why would he come to the underground morgue at 10 pm? "
The man was wearing a white coat that did not fit him. He was muscular and strong. Even with plastic gloves, he moved quickly while carrying the two buckets.
"What is this man doing? Why is he going deeper into the morgue? "
The man before him was very suspicious. He looked like one of the school workers, but the time he appeared and what he was doing confused Chen Ge.
After giving it some thought, Chen Ge gave up. He had too few clues, so he decided to use a more direct method to solve this.
"If he enters this room, then I'll have a good talk with him, but if he doesn't, then I'll follow behind him and not alert him."
Perhaps due to his personality, Chen Ge rarely forced people. He gave the man a choice. That way, even if he accidentally hurt someone, he would feel better.
Gripping the handle of the hammer, Chen Ge held his breath.
The footsteps came closer, and the contents of the buckets spilled again. The man frowned like he was in a bad mood.
He continued to move forward. When he passed the medium-sized morgue that Chen Ge was in, he looked to the side and realized that the door had been pushed open.
"Didn't I close the door when I came out? Who opened it? Is Li Xu in here? " A man's voice came from under the mask. He stopped and looked around before cursing under his breath.
The man had a bad temper. He put down the bucket and reached toward the morgue door with his hands covered in plastic gloves.
Just as his finger touched the doorknob and was about to enter, another man's voice came from the sidewalk at the fork in the road.
"Brother Wei! Are you done? What took you so long today? "A short, thin, dark-skinned man ran in with a flashlight.
"There are a lot of things to deal with today." The man called Brother Wei did not enter the room. He pulled his hand back and looked at the skinny man with confusion. "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to calm down the security? If they come later, we won't be able to explain ourselves. "
"Don't worry, those security guards are as timid as mice. They will never come over." Li Xu looked into the medium-sized morgue, and when he did not see anything out of place, he pulled his gaze back. He lowered his voice and leaned to Brother Wei. "But speaking of which, we'd better not stay here for too long. When those security guards were chatting today, I overheard something. "
"What did they say?"
"This underground morgue is haunted," Li Xu told Brother Wei mysteriously.
"Haunted? You believe that? " Brother Wei picked up the red bucket and placed it before Li Xu. "Stop wasting time. Since we're already here, help me deal with these things. They look disgusting."
Li Xu saw the disbelief in Brother Wei's eyes, so he sped up. "Not only the security, even the students from the higher years know that the underground morgue is haunted. Brother Wei, think about it. Normally, when we go to the medical school to help them deal with the dead bodies, they'll prepare them beforehand, and we'll just move them to the car at night. But this school would rather pay us a high price than deal with it themselves. There has to be a problem! "
"As long as there's money to be made, what's scarier than being poor?" Brother Wei carried the red bucket and walked down the corridor. Since the bucket was too full, if he moved too much, the sticky stuff inside would spill out.
"I'm not wearing gloves!" Li Jiu shouted. Seeing that Brother Wei was ignoring him, he had no choice but to pick up the bucket in front of him and chase after him.
After the two left, Chen Ge walked out from behind the door. He looked at the sticky stuff on the ground, but he could not tell what it was.
I'll let them scout ahead. If there's any danger, I can take care of them.
Just as Chen Ge stepped out of the room, the white cat lying on his backpack suddenly meowed. Chen Ge turned back to look and realized that the mannequin that was lying on the iron table had turned its head toward the door. The eyes that had been staring at the rotten apple were now staring right at him.
The apple should be a sign of life. The mannequin looking at the apple means that it desires life. Now that it's staring at me, is it planning to take over my body?
If not for the white cat's reminder, Chen Ge definitely would not have noticed it.
Being stared at from behind by a mannequin, that's quite scary. Without hesitation, Chen Ge walked to the mannequin and stared at it for a while. Then, he grabbed the mannequin's head and twisted it off.
"If you want to look, then I'll let you look all you want." Chen Ge placed the mannequin's head inside his backpack, next to the comic and recorder.
The footsteps in the corridor disappeared. Worried that he might lose the two, Chen Ge did not stop at the medium-sized morgue and hurried to catch up.
The corridor that was painted white looked creepy. Chen Ge passed a few more morgues, and the more he walked, the more confused he became. Zhang Li said that there are only seven morgues at the outer perimeter of the underground morgue. If I move any further, I'll enter the middle section of the underground morgue. That is a restricted area that the school strictly forbids staff from entering.
The temperature had dropped to an abnormal level. It was as if all the freezers in the morgue had been opened, and the chill seeped out from the walls and floor tiles.
The two in front also realized that something was wrong. They slowed down, and Chen Ge used this opportunity to close the distance between them.
The two were several meters apart. Chen Ge hid in the corner and used his Yin Yang Vision to observe the two.
"Brother Wei, I think you should carry them. The stuff from the buckets just splashed on my hand." Li Xu put down the buckets and shone the flashlight on his hand. There were light red spots on his palm like he had been bitten by bugs. "I don't feel anything, but it looks quite scary."
"You sure are troublesome. Those are chemicals. Just go back and rinse them with water." Brother Wei passed his own flashlight to Li Jiu to light the way while he picked up two large buckets of water.
