Chen Ge did not expect the old man to record things like this. The fact that the man could do something like this when the blood vessels were crawling up his body and he was in extreme pain proved that the man's willpower was very strong.
"Sir, you dug this wound yourself. You can compare it to your own fingernails. I saw with my own eyes that you used your other hand's index and middle finger to dig it out. "
"I dug it out myself? How come I have no memory of that? "
When they conversed, heavy breathing came from the corridor. The monster with the hollowed-out face was approaching.
The scary face was stuck to the window of Morgue 4. Its vision was blocked by the racks filled with specimens. After it could not see what was inside the room, it seemed to be preparing to enter.
The door shook. The monster was very strong.
"Stay here and don't move." The old man pulled back his sleeves and walked out from behind the racks. He walked to the door and opened it.
The giant monster poked its head into the room. It had no face, and the inside of its skull was clean. It had no idea how it sensed the outside world.
"Who let you in?" the old man asked sternly.
In terms of height and size, he was only half the monster, but in terms of presence, they were not on the same level.
The old man's eyes were sharp. After he realized the monster did not leave, he raised his arm to block the monster. "This is not a place you should be. Get out!"
Hiding behind the racks, Chen Ge also thought this was quite unbelievable. The power difference between them was too big, but the atmosphere was completely opposite.
The world in the old man's eyes is different from mine. Perhaps in his eyes, this is just a normal person with bad intentions.
The monster was blocked by the old man at the door. It seemed to sense Chen Ge. A gap opened on its stomach, and its large palm pulled out a bloody rope from behind it.
The smell of blood and stench spread out. The monster bared its fangs, but the old man did not retreat. Instead, he took another step forward.
He yelled at the monster, and his voice grew louder.
The two were locked in a stalemate at the door. The monster's stomach cracked open, and it groaned like it was gasping for air. It was extremely angry, but there was nothing it could do. In the end, it left unwillingly.
After the monster disappeared at the end of the corridor, the old man closed the door and returned to the rack. He pulled the shirt off his arm. "Let's continue our earlier conversation. You saw me scratch myself with your own eyes, but how come I have no memory of it at all?"
"Grandpa, don't you have any memory of wounds, blood vessels, or death?"
"I think I've been having the same nightmare lately. When I close my eyes, many blood vessels will wrap around my body. I struggle with all my might, but I'm still dragged into the darkness by the blood vessels. After that, I wake up." The old man touched the wound on his arm. "I don't remember when I got these wounds."
Chen Ge told the old man everything that had just happened, but halfway through, the organs on the wall started to jump crazily, and heavy breathing came from the corridor outside. Chen Ge had no choice but to give up.
"Let's wait a little longer. Right now, we don't have the strength to protect ourselves. There's no point in telling you." Chen Ge understood now. Once the old man remembered something important, the blood world behind the door would forcibly take control of him, and the monsters that had been wandering the corridor would come.
This time, he had managed to fool the old man, but Chen Ge did not think he would be so lucky next time.
Compared to making the old man remember everything, breaking the blood membrane was more important.
"Grandpa, is there anything else that you need my help with?"
Chen Ge suddenly asked. The old man was confused. He thought for a long time, and his eyes focused on Chen Ge. "I want you to take me to Morgue No. 8."
"Morgue No. 8?" Chen Ge did not expect the old man to make such a request. "The morgue has been sealed up, why do you want to go there?"
"I don't know, but I have a feeling something very important to me is locked up there. Perhaps I've been there before and left something there."
"Do I have to enter Morgue No. 8?" Unlocking the lock required time, and the process of opening the door might attract more than one monster. When that happened, he would be in danger.
"Yes." The old man nodded. He was a stubborn man, and he only needed Chen Ge's help.
Entering Morgue No. 8 was dangerous, but Chen Ge could not find any other 'people' in such a short period of time. He felt like the blood world had started to notice him, and if he delayed any longer, things might get worse for him.
Staying inside the blood fog of the world behind the door, the membrane on the surface of the skin will continue to thicken. There are two other unlucky people in the room at the central hub. If I waste too much time here, they will probably suffocate to death.
Chen Ge finally nodded. "Okay, I'll take you to Morgue No. 8."
After getting the confirmation from Chen Ge, the old man's expression softened. His eyes that looked at Chen Ge had an additional trace of admiration. He did not know why, but he felt like the young man was very pleasing to his eyes.
Actually, the old man had this impression because Chen Ge was an outsider. He was different from the monsters behind the door, and the old man sensed a rare trace of humanity in him.
If it was Li Xu or Ma Wei, the old man might have felt closer to them.
"The key to Morgue No. 8 should be in the headmaster's office, so it'll be difficult to get there. I know one way to get there, and the closest one has more security, but …"
"There's no need to go through so much trouble. You don't have to use the key to open the door." Chen Ge felt like he just wanted to break the membrane and fulfill the old man's wish. He did not want to go through so much trouble. "Just follow me to Morgue No. 8."
Chen Ge walked to the door, and the old man reminded him worriedly, "Whenever I leave this room, there's a very bad feeling in my heart. I don't know why, but you'd better be careful. Other than that, we mustn't be seen by anyone else. "
The old man seemed to have experience of sneaking away before, but he could not remember what had happened. It was just a blurry impression.
"Don't worry, I'm here." There was only a thin layer of membrane left on Chen Ge's body. After completing the old man's wish, he should be able to gain full recognition, and then he would not need to hide anymore.
Opening the door, Chen Ge walked out from the room. When he walked out, nothing had changed in the corridor.
However, when the old man stepped out from the door, the whole corridor shook, and the organs on the wall started to contract faster.
"Don't waste time, just go! Hurry! "
The layout of the underground morgue was complicated, and it was connected to many buildings. Chen Ge was thankful that he had memorized the map on his phone before he came in.
Holding the hammer, Chen Ge walked toward Morgue No. 8 with familiarity. The old man followed behind him with determination in his eyes.
After the old man left the room, the blood world started to change. If earlier was the calm before the storm, now the storm was coming.
There was no turning back, and there was no other choice. Chen Ge led the old man down the corridor.
He had already made preparations. No matter who stood in his way, he was going to rush over!
A monster floated out from the wall, and the blood in the blood vessels above his head increased again. The morgues on both sides of the morgue started to creak like the anaconda blood vessels were hungry again.
After a few turns, Chen Ge heard footsteps coming from ahead. He gripped the hammer tightly, and he did not slow down. If anything, he ran faster and faster.
The people on the other side of the corridor seemed to hear his footsteps as well, but they were more cowardly and stopped immediately.
Turning the corner, Chen Ge saw two 'logisticians' that looked like mud repairing the corridor. They were pushing a cart, and the cart was filled with broken bodies.
They patiently placed the bodies into the cracks in the wall and then used blood vessels to close the wall.
The two monsters were working seriously. When they saw Chen Ge, they did not think much of him until they saw the old man, and they looked like they had seen a ghost.
"We've been discovered."
Chen Ge raised the hammer and prepared to kill them, but he was stopped by the old man. "Ignore them. These people are very cowardly. If you hurt them, the security will come immediately, but if you ignore them, they won't have the courage to report you."
The old man stared at the two monsters. The two monsters turned around and continued to work like they could not see Chen Ge and the old man.
"I've interacted with them a lot, so I know them better."
Chen Ge had already noticed that the 'monsters' were afraid of the old man. "It seems like you're quite a ruthless person."
"Not really. Let's go to Morgue No. 8 first, and we'll talk there."
The atmosphere in the corridor became more oppressive. The organs on the wall started to bleed, and the situation was not looking good.
After a few turns, Chen Ge and the old man used several minutes to reach Morgue No. 8.
By then, the walls, the ground, and the blood vessels above them had started to bleed, and the blood fog thickened.
"The door is locked. How do we open it without the key?" The old man stood in the fog. Ever since he left the room, his head had been aching like something was trying to break through some kind of limitation.
"Leave it to me."
There was no turning back now. Chen Ge stared at the lock on the door and raised the hammer high!
"Bang!"
The door shook, and the organs on the wall started to bleed.
"It sure is sturdy." Chen Ge gritted his teeth and swung the hammer. He aimed at the spot where the door was connected to the wall.
He had planned to smash the door from the very beginning. He had the impulse to do so the first time he passed by.
Actually, even if the door was sturdy, Chen Ge was not afraid. At most, he would just smash the wall. No matter what, he would find a way in.
As Chen Ge continued to swing the hammer, blood vessels crawled out from the grooves, making the hammer look even scarier.
After more than ten swings, Chen Ge realized that the blood vessels were not just for decoration; they seemed to have some other special effect. It seemed like it was because of the blood vessels that the hammer could cause so much damage to the items in the blood world behind the door.
Chen Ge himself had lost track of how many times he had swung the door. The commotion was too loud, and this was different from the old man's plan.
He had wanted Chen Ge to steal the key and then sneak over to open the door to find the thing that was important to him.
However, Chen Ge's way of doing things was completely out of the ordinary. Perhaps even the 'headmaster' hiding deep inside the underground morgue did not expect someone to be so crazy.
The door shook, and the chains rattled. The lock had loosened, and the scariest thing was that the wall next to the lock was almost smashed through by Chen Ge.
Panting came from both ends of the corridor again. The 'security' was coming.
"Is it done?" The old man's heart skipped a beat. The admiration he had for Chen Ge earlier had turned into a strange emotion.
"Now!" Chen Ge gritted his teeth and took several steps back. Using the strength in his body, he swung the hammer!
"Bang!"
The door of Morgue No. 8 slammed heavily into the wall, and the hammer did not slow down. It hit the edge of the wall and chipped off a large piece of organ.
The locked door was smashed open by Chen Ge, and then the 'security' who had their faces hollowed out ran over.
They were large in size and made from multiple carcasses. They carried hatred and pain. Their stomachs were cracked, and their arms kept reaching out.
"Quick, come in!"
Chen Ge and the old man entered Morgue No. 8. The old man's wish had been fulfilled, and the blood membrane on Chen Ge's body was slowly thinning.
He closed the door and used his back to block the door with the hammer. "Hopefully, I can hold this off until the membrane disappears …"
Chen Ge did not pay much attention to this Morgue No. 8, but when he lifted his head to look, he was stunned.
The structure of Morgue No. 8 inside the door was slightly different from the real world. Morgue No. 8 inside the door had a special container made of flesh and blood, and inside it was a man around forty in a white coat.
"Doctor Chen?"
The man inside the container was Doctor Chen from Western Jiujiang's Children's Home. At the last moment of the Trial Mission at Coffin Village, it was he who chased away No. 10 from the Society of Strange Tales.
"Why is he here? Could it be that he was defeated in the fight? "
When Chen Ge was thinking, the door behind him was slammed heavily, and arms covered in blood reached into the room through the gap.
The two monsters who had their faces hollowed out had arrived!
"Sir, have you found the thing that you've lost? I can't hold on any longer! "There was still a thin layer of blood membrane on Chen Ge's arm, and he could not remove it no matter what.
He was already calling out the ghost's name, but there was no response.
"Don't panic." The old man walked past the empty containers before stopping before the one that contained his body in real life. His palm pressed against the glass, and his eyes turned to the introduction before the container.
"Wei Jiuqin, a professor at Western Jiujiang Medical University. When he was alive, he founded Western Jiujiang's Life Sciences Research Institute. When he was seventy-three, he was diagnosed with lung cancer. In his will, he donated his body for medical education."
He looked at the words on the container, and many memories exploded in his mind.
It was about his life, his research, and finally, it stopped when his body was about to collapse.
In the sickroom, he planned to donate his body to the school. At the time, his children had stopped him, and in his weakened state, he had held the pen and said his last words.
"I'd rather they cut me a million times than make one mistake on a patient."
