The corridor made from dead bodies was covered in blood red moss. Chen Ge remembered Lee Zheng's warning. He had to keep quiet inside the blood red corridor and not make too much noise.
Lee Zheng did not tell Chen Ge the actual reason. He only said that was what the school staff had told him.
If I make too much noise, will it wake up the dead bodies inside the walls?
His eyes scanned the faces, and Chen Ge's movements became gentler. Every step he took was cautious.
With the white cat leading the way, he was not that worried. However, he only took a few steps when Chen Ge suddenly heard a sound coming from behind him. It sounded like someone was running down the corridor.
The two crematorium workers are very afraid of me. Unless they have no other choice, they won't enter the corridor to look for me. There should be monsters rushing in, and there should be quite a number of them.
The commotion was loud, and Chen Ge felt the whole corridor shake. As the footsteps approached, the 'moss' on the walls started to ooze blood red liquid. Above his head, beside his body, and under his feet, the 'moss' kept falling off, and human faces appeared.
They were perfectly preserved, like they were still alive.
The eyelashes trembled. When the red liquid slid across their cheeks, their skin regained its vitality. Their eyelids twitched like they would open their eyes at any moment.
Chen Ge did not dare stay in the corridor for too long. The space was narrow. If the dead bodies inside the walls woke up, he felt like he would be buried alive.
Buried alive, left here forever, and then turned into one of them? Chen Ge sucked in a cold breath. He had a vague idea why there were so many dead bodies here.
He picked up his pace and followed the white cat.
The secret passage was long, and the surroundings were dyed red. The 'moss' was still falling off, and the corpses that were piled up in the wall were trembling. The corpses heard the noise outside, and they seemed to want to pull themselves out from each other's bodies.
The whole corridor was shaking, and the walls started to crack. Many arms dangled down from the ceiling!
The scene in front of them made their scalps tingle. Even Chen Ge's heart was beating wildly, let alone ordinary people.
Chen Ge covered his head with his hands. He was practically crawling on the ground as he walked forward. Arms dropped down from above his head as if they were ready to grab him.
The sound behind him was still approaching. The corpses in the wall were slowly waking up. Chen Ge could clearly feel them moving.
"This three-star scenario is much more dangerous than I thought." If the secret tunnel collapsed at this time, it would be useless even if he released all the ghosts on him. Perhaps only Zhang Ya could use her long hair to support Chen Ge's space. Other than her, no other ghosts could do anything.
Specters were just one of the criteria to measure the danger level of a scenario. Some scenarios were inherently dangerous, like the underground morgue. This place was very dangerous for invaders.
The white cat's meowing came from not far ahead. After consuming the blood vessels that the Society of Strange Tales had prepared for the Red Specters, the white cat had become smarter. It had also sensed the change in the tunnel, and its meowing was urgent like it was urging Chen Ge to hurry.
Since the corpses on the wall were about to wake up, Chen Ge decided to run as fast as he could.
The deepest part of the tunnel was completely blocked by a thick layer of red 'moss'. He could not see the path, so he could only use his body to squeeze forward.
If Chen Ge did not know that the white cat was just ahead, he probably would not have squeezed into the tunnel without hesitation.
The 'moss' fell off, and the fragrant liquid rubbed against his body. In this strange and scary environment, Chen Ge felt like his body was being enveloped by a warm current. It was like sitting next to a heater in the middle of winter, and his body temperature was slowly rising.
If not for the fact that the corpses were about to wake up, he might have wanted to stay there for a while longer.
The footsteps behind him came closer. Chen Ge ignored the people behind him and continued to squeeze forward. After who knew how long, the pressure around him suddenly lessened, and his vision widened.
"I'm finally out!"
His shirt was drenched, and it gave off that light fragrance. The smell of blood on the hammer had lessened, but it looked scarier.
This side of the tunnel should be the core of the underground morgue. Similar to the tunnel, everything was covered in a thick layer of blood 'moss'.
"This place is basically a room isolated from the corpses."
The footsteps in the tunnel did not affect the central hub that much. Chen Ge stood not far away from the tunnel, waiting for the two crematorium workers. He also wanted to know what was happening outside.
Not long after that, it was Li Xu who barged out from the tunnel. He was obviously spooked. When he saw Chen Ge, his mouth fell open like he was about to say something.
Chen Ge had predicted Li Xu's reaction, so he rushed forward to clamp his hand over his mouth and whispered in his ear, "Keep quiet."
Two seconds later, Li Xu reacted and nodded.
Ma Wei limped out, and Chen Ge also clamped his hand over his mouth before he could say anything.
After the two calmed down, Chen Ge said, "There are many dead bodies buried here. If you don't want to wake them up, keep your voice down."
"Brother, the dead bodies in the containers have escaped. When we got there, we saw them running this way." Li Xu sounded nervous, and his face was covered in sweat.
"When you got there?" Chen Ge narrowed his eyes, and his cold tone scared Li Xu and Ma Wei. "Were you planning to run away?"
"No, we were really not. We just wanted to go out and take a look," Li Xu stammered.
"Don't worry, it's normal to run away. I'm more curious, am I that scary? You'd rather look for dead bodies than listen to my orders. " Chen Ge used the hammer to peel back the red 'moss' at the entrance of the tunnel. The dead bodies did not follow them.
Li Xu and Ma Wei did not know how to answer Chen Ge. They lowered their heads and did not dare speak, afraid that they might say something wrong.
Actually, it was not their fault for being cowardly. After all, to commit a crime here, even the process of hiding the dead bodies could be skipped.
"Fine, it is fate that we met here. As long as you two listen to me, I won't make things difficult for you." The first half of Chen Ge's sentence was gentle. "But I'll warn you first, if you dare to cause me trouble …"
He raised the hammer so that Li Jiu and Ma Weineng could see the blood stains on the hammer more clearly. "Think about it carefully. This is human blood."
Li Xu and Ma Wei nodded without thinking.
