Turning to look at Li Xu and Ma Wei, Chen Ge whispered, "Don't just stand there. Come and help."
The black phone's mission requirement was to enter the central hub before midnight. He did not have a map, so he had no idea where the entrance to the central hub was. Therefore, he was very interested in the hidden tunnel inside the underground morgue.
The three of them pushed open the cupboard, and behind it was a tunnel that could only fit one person at a time.
The sound of wind came from the other side of the tunnel, and there was a rotten smell in the air.
Chen Ge reached out to touch the edge of the tunnel. It was slippery, and there seemed to be moss growing at the edge of the tunnel. However, the 'moss' was not green but dark brown. When he shone the flashlight on it, it seemed to be glowing red.
"Give me the flashlight." Chen Ge took the flashlight from Li Xu and shone it into the tunnel. The tunnel was narrow, and there were many corners. It was hard to tell where it led.
"Why would there be a hidden tunnel inside the medical school's morgue? It looks like it was dug many years ago. What's the use of this tunnel? "Chen Ge turned to look at Li Xu and Ma Wei, and the two shook their heads.
"Should we go in to take a look?"
Chen Ge was talking to himself, but when the two beside him heard him, their faces darkened.
Perhaps worried that they would be forced by Chen Ge to scout ahead, Li Xu reminded them softly, "We'd better not wander around. Even the school's security said that this underground morgue is haunted. Brother Wei and I have experienced it ourselves. This place is not safe, and it might really be hiding those legendary things."
Chen Ge did not want to crawl into this kind of narrow tunnel. The space was too small, and it was not good for him to use his full power. Furthermore, if he was caught in a pincer attack, it would be dangerous.
Just as he was hesitating, the white cat beside him meowed. It crawled on the ground and slowly crawled into the tunnel.
"The thing that attracted the white cat is in this tunnel?" Chen Ge held the hammer and leaned his upper body into the tunnel. "There's wind, so I won't suffocate."
Hearing the cat's meow, Li Xu and Ma Wei realized that the fierce guy in front of them actually had a cat with him. Their eyes wandered between the white cat and Chen Ge, and their impression of Chen Ge began to change subtly.
"You two stay here and don't move. I'll go in and take a look." Chen Ge was worried that his escape route would be blocked, so he had two crematorium workers guard him. "Hey, give me your phone. It'll be easier to contact you if there's an accident."
Chen Ge pointed at Li Xu. This guy was suffering in his heart but couldn't say it out loud. Didn't normal people ask for a mobile phone number for convenience? Why did this person ask for a cell phone directly?
Li Jiu handed his phone over to Chen Ge. Li Jiu handed Chen Ge his phone.
"Don't worry, if we survive this, I'll definitely return the phone to you."
Hearing Chen Ge's consolation, Li Xu panicked even more.
After a short conversation, Chen Ge learned the two's names. If something happened, he would use Li Xu's phone to call Ma Wei's phone to contact the two.
"If you run into danger, you can call me for help. If you really can't stop them, then after you contact me, you should run away. Don't worry about me." Chen Ge placed Li Xu's phone into his jacket pocket and followed the white cat into the tunnel.
When he first entered, he did not feel anything, but after he turned the first corner, Chen Ge realized that the air had become more polluted, and the brown moss that grew on the walls had increased.
The white cat has consumed the blood vessels that the Society of Strange Tales found behind the door. It's in a hurry to run deeper, so the thing that attracted it probably has something to do with the Society of Strange Tales as well.
The deeper he went, the narrower the tunnel became. The innermost part of the tunnel was covered by plants that looked like moss. Chen Ge used the hammer to scrape away some of the 'moss', and he realized that it was similar to a human. After the skin was scraped off, a red liquid would leak out from underneath.
Chen Ge sniffed it and realized that the liquid had a nice fragrance to it. It did not smell like blood.
This thing can grow in an underground morgue?
After the liquid leaked out, the small piece of 'moss' that was scraped away by the hammer started to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was as if the liquid that leaked out from the 'moss' had the ability to stimulate growth.
Chen Ge continued to move forward, and the tunnel became narrower. He had to bend over to move forward.
Slowly, the walls, the ground, and the ceiling were all covered by the 'moss'. It was hard to step on it, and it gave off an uncomfortable feeling.
"Where does this secret passage lead to?"
The air became murkier, but the color of the 'moss' slowly brightened, turning from yellow to light red.
After turning a few corners, Chen Ge had trouble breathing, and he was starting to feel the lack of oxygen.
Calling for the white cat, Chen Ge slowed down. He walked a few more meters, and by then, the 'moss' on the wall had completely turned red.
Stopping, Chen Ge looked around, and Lee Zheng's words were suddenly reminded of something that Chen Ge had once said.
There were three types of tunnels in the underground morgue — the ones that were painted white, unpainted, and blood red. The blood red tunnel was the strangest. One had to be absolutely quiet when entering it, or something bad would happen.
"This secret passage is the blood-red passage he mentioned?"
The deeper he went, the brighter the color of the 'moss' on the wall, and the narrower the tunnel became.
Chen Ge practically stuck to the 'moss' as he moved forward. He held the hammer in one hand, and when he turned a corner, the tip of the hammer scratched the wall.
Initially, Chen Ge did not think much of it, but when the 'moss' was scraped away, with his Yin Yang Vision, he could see that there was something behind the 'moss'.
Taking several steps back, Chen Ge slowly squatted down. When he looked at the hole that was left behind by the hammer, his pupils narrowed.
Under the 'moss', there was a human face. It was a woman's face, and her skin was leaking blood. To Chen Ge's disbelief, the blood that leaked out from her face had a light fragrance to it.
"This passageway is built with corpses?"
His body froze, and Chen Ge looked around him. Who knew how many human faces were hidden under the thick 'moss'?
This is crazy.
The white cat continued to run forward. Chen Ge looked at the woman's face and hesitated. In the end, he did not abandon the white cat and followed.
…
At the entrance of the tunnel, Li Xu and Ma Wei looked at each other.
"We're just going to stand here and wait for him to come out?" Li Xu lowered his voice, afraid that Chen Ge would hear him.
"What else? I feel like he's purposely testing us. Once we run, he'll rush out to kill us, "Ma Wei replied carefully. Ma Wei replied carefully. The two of them really did not understand why they would run into a young man with a hammer at the underground morgue at 10 pm.
"I think we should leave as soon as possible. That person is probably the 'ghost' mentioned by the security guards." The more Li Xu thought about it, the more afraid he became. His face was pale. "When we first ran into him, he didn't even have a light on him. This place is so dark. If he's a human, how can he see around us? "
Ma Wei thought about it and agreed with Li Xu. "Yes, I also think there's something wrong with his eyes. Just one look at them makes me panic."
