"Is it my fault? If you didn't force me to carry it, my hand wouldn't have been injured. "
Li Xu grumbled at Brother Wei and rubbed his hand on his shirt, but it did not help. The red spot did not fade, but it became worse.
"What are you talking about? Come on, we'll leave after we're done. Why is this place so cold? " Brother Wei walked in front, carrying a bucket of water and following the route in his memory, he walked along the tunnel.
Every few meters down the white corridor, there was a morgue door, and the door was labeled with the number of the morgue.
The two passed Morgue No. 6 and walked to Morgue No. 7. Just as Brother Wei was about to continue, Li Xu suddenly pulled on Brother Wei's arm.
"What's wrong with you now?" Brother Wei glared at Li Xu with annoyance.
Standing where he was, Li Xu shone the flashlight next to Morgue No. 7. His expression was strange. "When we came in earlier, there was a wall next to Morgue No. 7, right?"
"I don't remember that. What's wrong?" Brother Wei's voice came from behind the mask.
"Look at it yourself. Why is there an extra morgue next to Morgue No. 7? Was it recently built? " Li Xu did not dare move forward. "There is such a thick layer of dust on the door, so it must have been built a long time ago, but how come I don't remember it at all?"
"I thought it was a big deal." Brother Wei walked past Morgue No. 7 and stopped next to the extra morgue.
The door of this storeroom was exactly the same as the previous storerooms. The only difference was that the serial number on the door was very unclear. It was blurry, as if someone had dug it out bit by bit with their nails.
"Should we go in to take a look?" Brother Wei thought about it. When they came in earlier, there was indeed no morgue next to Morgue No. 7.
"If you want to go in, you can go in. I don't dare." Li Xu shook his head and held the flashlight to light the way.
"Look at you. We've faced more dead bodies at the crematorium than these students. Look at how scared you are. " Although Brother Wei said that, he seemed to be a little afraid. He skipped the topic and sped up, walking past the door of the warehouse.
"Wait for me!" Li Xu ran forward with the flashlight, but something unexpected happened.
The distance between Brother Wei and Li Xu increased. Just as Li Xu was about to walk past the warehouse's entrance, the warehouse's metal door opened on its own.
It was very sudden, as if someone had pushed it hard from the inside.
Li Xu was not courageous to begin with. When the iron door suddenly opened, he was startled and shouted.
Hearing Li Xu's voice, Brother Wei stopped in his tracks and turned around. When he saw that the iron door was open, his face turned pale.
"Why did you open the door for no reason? If you have the time to be curious, why don't you hurry up and help! "
Brother Wei scolded Li Xu. Li Xu felt wronged as well. "The door opened on its own. I didn't even touch it."
He glanced into the room, and with just one glance, his body seemed to freeze. Even his gaze froze in a certain direction.
"What's wrong with you?" After all, Brother Wei had been Li Xu's partner for many years, so he knew his colleague's personality. He was not the kind of person who would play pranks.
He put down the bucket and walked to Li Xu's side to look into the morgue.
There was a dead body soaking in a glass container not far from the door. The scary thing was, the dead body's eyes were open.
"Brother Wei, how come it feels like it's looking at us?" Li Xu's voice was small. Once he opened his mouth, it felt like cold air crawled into his mouth.
"Let's go take a look." Brother Wei grabbed Li Xu's arm, and the two of them entered the warehouse.
The morgue looked like a showroom. There was a sign on the wall that said, "Every donor is worthy of respect, and they should be treated with respect at all times."
The sign was stuck to the wall, but Brother Wei and Li Xu's attention was attracted by the dead body with its eyes open, so they did not see the words on the sign.
The two moved around the room and stopped next to the dead body.
"Liu Zhengyi?" There was an introduction on the glass container. The dead body's name was Liu Zhengyi. He had graduated from Western Jiujiang Medical University and stayed at the school to become a lecturer.
The man had a strong sense of justice. According to his life story, on the first day he became a lecturer, he had made the decision to donate his body to the school after he passed away.
There had been students who commented on the cadavers' looks in his class and joked about them. At the time, he had scolded the students severely.
He was still very young inside the container, and the cause of his death was not mentioned in the introduction.
"He's quite well preserved, just like a real person." Brother Wei reached out to knock on the glass container, but the body inside did not respond.
"What are you doing? What if we really wake him up? " The red spots on Li Xu's palm had started to spread, but he did not realize it. He pulled Brother Wei to the side. "The security said that the underground morgue is haunted, and even the people from the school are not willing to come in. We should leave as well. We're not going to take any jobs from this school anymore."
"Let's finish this one first." Brother Wei shrugged off Li Xu's hand and looked to the side. There were other glass containers around Liu Zhengyi, and each of them contained a cadaver.
There was an old man with a kind face. He looked very peaceful, like he was a professor at the medical university. There was also a young man in his teens. His eyes were closed, and there was a bright smile on his face like he was having a sweet dream.
Brother Wei's eyes scanned all the glass containers, and when he saw the one behind the door, he paused.
The container was empty, and the weirdest thing was that the top of the container had been opened like someone had just crawled out.
The two walked to the glass container and shone their flashlights on it. They discovered something even scarier.
The top of the container gave off a heavy stench of formalin, and there were two wet handprints next to it.
Brother Wei and Li Xu shared a look, and they looked flustered.
"The thing inside the container has escaped?"
"Calm down first." Brother Wei looked around the container. "If the body inside the container has escaped, it would have left more than two handprints, but there are no similar handprints or footprints around here."
Li Xu used the flashlight to scan the container, and it was as Brother Wei had said. "Then why are there two handprints on it?"
"I'm not sure. Let's go out first."
They were on the second floor, and the surroundings were dark. The eerie feeling could not be dispelled by the flashlight.
Brother Wei also wanted to retreat. He turned and walked out with Li Xu.
"I'm going to pour out the contents of the bucket. You wait here."
"Okay, come back as soon as possible."
Brother Wei and Li Xu walked out the door. Neither of them realized that there was a cupboard behind the container, and formalin was seeping out from the bottom of the cupboard.
