The mask covered most of his face, and the male lecturer walked between the two groups of students. His eyes were bright and piercing.
"This is your first class here, so it's normal for you to be curious and disgusted, but don't let me see any of you purposely joking around.
"Every single cadaver is worthy of respect. In this room, all the deaths are for the sake of the living," Gu Shenwei said with a smile.
"What you should focus on now is whether this nerve is clear or not, whether the blood vessels are separated cleanly, and remember the details of the connection and location of the muscles."
Only the male lecturer was speaking inside the room. He was not that old, and he looked rather stern.
Western Jiujiang Medical University had the largest underground morgue in Jiujiang. In the whole of Huazhong South, this was probably the only place where students could dissect a cadaver in groups of four.
Due to the lack of cadavers, most medical schools had groups of eight or even sixteen.
Chen Ge observed everything silently from outside the door. He looked at the tall male teacher inside the room and felt like he had seen him somewhere before. "That pair of eyes feels very familiar. I think I've seen them outside Morgue No. 8 before."
He thought about it for a long time before he remembered that there was a cadaver soaked in a glass container inside Morgue No. 8. The unique thing was that the cadaver's eyes were open.
The cadaver soaked in formalin outside the door was given a new life inside the door? Is this a figment of Dr. Gao's imagination? Or did he trap the deceased's soul inside the door?
The membrane on the body thickened again. Just as Chen Ge was hesitating whether to enter the room or not, heavy breathing came from the other end of the corridor.
A gust of wind mixed with a stench came from the other end of the corridor. Following the breathing, the organs on the wall started to pulsate rhythmically.
What's coming?
The monster coming from the other end of the corridor gave Chen Ge a completely different feeling from the girl in white and the male lecturer. It was filled with negative emotions like destruction, murder, and anger.
The white cat scratched Chen Ge's shoulder. Its ears turned back, and it growled. It also felt threatened.
Just as Chen Ge focused all his attention on the corridor, the door of the autopsy room next to him suddenly creaked open.
Turning to look, Chen Ge saw the male lecturer with the mask standing next to the door, studying Chen Ge with confusion.
"I …"
Before Chen Ge could come up with an excuse, his arm was grabbed by the male teacher. "Come in first."
The male teacher pulled Chen Ge into the room and closed the door. "You should hide first. Don't let it see you."
The breathing in the corridor got closer. With the urging of the male teacher, Chen Ge grabbed the hammer and crawled under the second set of experiment tables. This was a table that could be raised and lowered, and it was originally used to store dead bodies.
As he got closer, Chen Ge realized that the eight tightly wrapped students in the room were actually corpses as well. Their heads were lowered, and their stiff fingers gripped the scalpel crookedly.
"No wonder they didn't say anything. This teacher is probably a lunatic."
Chen Ge hesitated for a moment, then crawled under the test bench.
The movement outside grew louder, and the heavy breathing slowly approached. Chen Ge sneaked a look through the gap under the table.
The blood vessels in the corridor were pulsing, and soon, a humanoid monster with its face hollowed out walked out. Its body was larger than a normal person's. It was about 2.4 meters tall, and its head almost reached the ceiling.
This person's body structure was different from the girls that Chen Ge had encountered. Like the surrounding walls, it was only covered by a layer of blood membrane, and Chen Ge could see the various organs inside.
The monster moved very slowly. It seemed to have merged with the world behind the door, and it wandered aimlessly.
The corridor shook, and when the monster passed the morgue, it paused. The hollowed out face turned toward the door.
Chen Ge could clearly feel the door lock shaking. After the monster realized that it could not open the door, it slowly walked away.
After waiting for a few minutes, the corridor returned to normal, and Chen Ge crawled out from under the table.
"What was that thing that just passed by?"
The male teacher had been hiding behind the door. He did not answer Chen Ge's question but used a strange gaze to stare at Chen Ge.
Moments later, he removed the mask. His facial features were identical to the human face soaked in formalin outside the door.
"That's the new security guard at the school. He has a bad temper. If he sees a student like you running around during class, he'll probably drag you to see the headmaster."
"Student? Headmaster? " Chen Ge did not quite understand what the male teacher meant. The world in the man's eyes seemed to be different from his own, and what the male teacher said next confirmed that.
"Which class are you from? Who is your teacher? " The male teacher realized that Chen Ge did not answer, but he was not angry. "It's fine if you don't want to tell me, but it's not right to skip class. You'd better go back. I know that a child like you may have more thoughts in your mind and be more sensitive. "
"A child like me? Do I look like a child to you? " Chen Ge did not quite understand what the male teacher meant, but he could hear kindness in his tone.
The man's tone was completely different from when he talked to his own students. It was as if he was afraid of hurting Chen Ge's pride.
"A broken body doesn't mean anything. A strong and courageous heart is the most important thing."
The male teacher seemed to be consoling Chen Ge, and this confused Chen Ge even more. "In your eyes, I'm broken?"
"My mistake. I apologize for that. Please go back." This male teacher who was scolding his student earlier changed his tone. It was clear that he was not a bad person.
Through the male teacher's various reactions, Chen Ge finally understood. In the male teacher's eyes, the world made from flesh and blood behind the door was normal, and for an outsider like Chen Ge, he would think it was weird.
Chen Ge could not understand how the world looked in the male teacher's eyes. He just wanted to get more clues from the teacher. "Sir, what is your name?"
"My name is Liu Zhengyi. You can call me Mr. Liu. It's not right to skip class. If you have something on your mind and have no one to share it with, come find me."
Mr. Liu was probably just being polite, but Chen Ge did not plan to miss this opportunity. He placed the hammer back into his backpack. His hands gripped the hem of his shirt, and after some hesitation, he said, "Mr. Liu, actually, I've been a victim of school bullying. I've never dared to share these secrets with anyone."
"School bullying? Something like that happens at our school? " Mr. Liu's expression turned serious, and his tone changed. "Don't be afraid. Tell me all the people who have bullied you, and I'll take care of this until the end!"
