The Trial Mission required Chen Ge to enter the underground morgue's central hub before midnight and survive until dawn.
When he exited the tunnel, it was only 11 pm, so he had plenty of time to prepare.
"Tell me, what kind of monsters did you two run into outside?" Chen Ge stood next to the tunnel and kept an eye on the situation inside.
"There was a girl holding an apple and many dead bodies that appeared out of nowhere. Their bodies had been stitched up, and the thread was red."
"Red thread? Are you sure? "This was the first time Chen Ge had heard that the dead bodies in the morgue would be stitched up with red thread.
"It was indeed red, but it was thinner than the thread we use in real life, and they could move on their own."
Li Xu's description reminded Chen Ge of the blood vessels in the Society of Strange Tales. "Other than that, did you run into anything else? Like a monster that could crawl on the wall like a gecko or a dead body that could bounce on the ground like a fish? "
"No." Li Xu and Ma Wei shook their heads. They really did not know there were so many strange monsters in the underground morgue. It felt like this was an underground world that was isolated from the outside world.
"Looks like you've only provoked a small part of them."
This was the largest underground morgue in Jiujiang, and it had been built for the longest time. Even the Society of Strange Tales could not tell how many monsters there were inside.
"Brother, what should we do now?" Ma Wei and Li Xu turned to Chen Ge.
"You should be thankful that you ran into me, or else you wouldn't have made it out alive." Chen Ge lowered his head to look at the watch on his phone. "Now it's just a small fight. After midnight, this scenario will show its true horror!"
"Midnight?"
"Yes, after midnight, all the monsters in this scenario will wake up, and it will be a party of their own." Chen Ge's voice was squeezed out from between his teeth. He glared at Li Xu and Ma Wei. "I planned to come in for a spin and then leave before midnight. Now you two have lured the monster here and cut off my only escape route! Because of the two of you, I've also fallen into a desperate situation. I can only endure in this damned place until dawn! "
Li Xu and Ma Wei looked guilty and apologetic. "Brother, we didn't have time to think about the situation at that time. Who would have thought that this would happen?"
They lowered their heads and sincerely apologized to Chen Ge, not daring to speak too loudly.
"Forget it. I can't be bothered to bicker with you. Being trapped here has become an unchangeable fact. The only thing I can do now is to find a way out of this predicament." Chen Ge's expression was calm. He always gave people the feeling that he could be relied on. "The monsters will go into hibernation during the day. They will only come out at night, so we have to try our best to hold on until dawn."
"Until dawn? With just the three of us? "
"Never give up hope. As long as you don't die immediately, try your best to stay alive." Standing in the room that was covered in blood red 'moss', Chen Ge turned and walked into the room.
Looking at his back, Li Xu and Ma Wei suddenly felt like the man before them was getting bigger and bigger.
Li Xu and Ma Wei were unexpected helpers for Chen Ge. Chen Ge did not have high expectations for them. He was thinking about how to make the best use of these two pyrotechnics.
When there was nothing to do, he could let them assist him. At critical moments, he could even let them scout ahead. If he was really chased by monsters and had nowhere to run, he could let them stall for time so that he could summon Zhang Ya. "Wait for us!" Li Xu ran to stand behind Chen Ge and whispered to Chen Ge, "Brother, we'll do whatever you want us to do tonight. What happened earlier will not happen again. Don't worry about that."
"Even though we don't have much power, we're strong. We'll definitely survive tonight." Ma Wei also walked over. His clothes were soaked and stained with the liquid.
The two pyrotechnics workers voluntarily followed him. This was within Chen Ge's expectation; they had no choice.
"Let's look around first."
Chen Ge had not finished exploring the middle section of the underground morgue, so he used the hidden tunnel to enter the central hub.
This area was covered in blood 'moss'; it was made up of dead bodies. After walking for a while, Chen Ge saw a second hidden tunnel. It was hidden behind the 'moss' on the wall. If not for his Yin Yang Vision, he really would not have discovered it.
Chen Ge memorized the location of the hidden tunnel and did not say anything. He followed the white cat and continued to move forward. He found three hidden tunnels in total, and the number was the same as the number of cadaver pools in the middle section.
"Each tunnel corresponds to a cadaver pool?"
The three tunnels were in three different directions, and they surrounded the central hub.
After following the white cat for a long time, Chen Ge finally had a general understanding of the underground morgue's central hub.
There were so many dead bodies that it was hard to tell what they were originally used for. The tunnel spiraled inward, and at the end of it was a steel door.
It looked like a normal door, but to Chen Ge's surprise, the blood red 'moss' covered almost everything in the central hub, but this normal-looking steel door did not have any 'moss' on it.
It was very quiet. Even though it had been placed underground for a long time, there was no sign of rust on the door.
"Stay outside and don't come in."
Chen Ge picked up the white cat that was lying under the steel door and moved it to the side. He twisted the lock and pulled the door open lightly.
The room was very clean, and there were various medical devices. Chen Ge did not know the names of most of them; he had only seen them at the hospital.
"These look like they're used for emergency treatment."
The devices were covered in dust, and there was a bunch of cut wires behind them. It was clear that these things had not been used for a long time.
In the middle of the devices was a modified surgery table. It was tall on all sides and low in the middle, and the groove was filled with a fragrant liquid.
"Someone is purposely collecting this liquid." Chen Ge stood next to the surgery table. Actually, he was quite curious about the liquid. He had only touched some earlier, and his body temperature had started to rise. If there was enough of it, perhaps it could counteract the negative effect that the Specters had on him.
"With such a fragrant smell, who would think it would come from a dead body?"
Chen Ge was sighing when the white cat suddenly meowed. It ran deeper into the room and scratched at the door that led to the next room.
The thing that attracted the white cat was somewhere else. Chen Ge walked over to push open the second door. This room was only half the size of the first one. The walls were filled with pictures of the victims, and each of them represented a murder.
Chen Ge peeled off one of the pictures to take a look. The person in the picture looked to be in his forties. He had probably died from drowning. There were a few sentences written underneath the picture.
"Wednesday, Patient 41.
"Diagnosis result: claustrophobia, deep water phobia.
"Treatment plan: Patient 41 was abused by his stepfather when he was young. He was forced into the water trough many times, and that left a psychological scar. It is not hard to solve this problem. I suggest you do the same thing to his father, make him drown the fear in his heart and the memory that he has been avoiding!
