Chapter 16 Peace Medical School 14
She was wearing a loose long skirt. The original color of the skirt was long gone. It was now between blood red and brown. It hung loosely on her body, covering her inner clothes.
The hair and eyeballs were gone, only the mouth was open, wide open like a black hole, bottomless, even more twisted than the man in "The Scream".
She was filled with emotion, very strong, but it was hard to tell whether it was madness or sadness.
Next to her should be a fetus, with its hands on its knees, curled up together, as if resisting the world.
Next to the fetus is another fetus, which is an unformed fetus. It is very small, with unclear facial features and a body that has not yet fully grown.
Next to the fetus was a man, the aged gray-brown color condensed on the surface of his exposed skin, isolating him from the world.
Pushing open the door, Xia Bai and Hua Haoming saw several human specimens facing the door of the silent morgue under the pale daylight.
The smell of formalin inside the door became stronger, bringing tears to their eyes. The tears blurred their vision, and the human specimens they saw were distorted. They blinked several times before they could see clearly what was inside.
No other strange things suddenly jumped out, and the morgue seemed to have been sealed for many years and was quiet.
In addition to a few corpses lying on the beds and soaked in formalin, there was a row of such human specimens against the wall. There were about twenty corpses in different states of different periods.
No wonder all the players who have come in said that something happened, but there was nothing weird or scary about it. This peaceful medical school is indeed just ordinary in the game.
If they were looking for anything abnormal, after they read the report about deformed hobbies this morning, the unformed fetus specimen seemed to be a little deformed, with no legs at all.
Hua Haoming only took a glance and found the cadaver teacher No. 5 who they were going to take to the laboratory.
He looked at Xia Bai first, and sure enough, he saw that Xia Bai's eyes were slightly widened, with beautiful light shining in them, as if he had arrived in heaven.
Hua Haoming: “…”
This matter is very contradictory.
It is indeed as Xia Bai said, there may be key clues in the morgue. The teacher named Wang Badan has broadcast live in the morgue, and all people have been transformed after entering the morgue. They should observe carefully and check thoroughly.
But everyone is alienated here. They speculate that there may be some kind of mental pollution or possession by ghosts. In order to avoid problems, they should not look around and should just take the cadaver teacher away.
Hua Haoming still pulled Xia Bai, who had an eager look, and completed the task first.
Body No. 5 was soaked in formalin, and they had to fish him out first and then take him to the laboratory.
There were more tears in their eyes.
Xia Bai wanted to carry the body to the laboratory by himself, but was stopped by Hua Haoming. The two of them carried the body to the laboratory.
When I arrived at the laboratory, I cleaned it a bit as the counselor said, disinfected and arranged the necessary teaching tools, and then I was ready for teaching.
Just like the previous times, nothing happened, it went so smoothly that it was eerily unsettling.
——According to their understanding over the past few days, something should have happened at this key location.
When he was about to leave, Xia Bai pointed to the corridor on the first floor, silently expressing his meaning: since he was already here and had finished preparing for the teaching, why not go and take a look?
Hua Haoming tapped his wrist, signaling him to pay attention to the time.
Xia Bai nodded.
Peace Medical College is open to students from Monday to Friday evenings for self-study. It is closed during afternoon classes, but some doors are unlocked, such as morgues No. 4 and No. 3, and most doors are locked.
The two open morgues are probably for the convenience of students in teaching preparation. Inside, there are old corpses. Some are human specimens standing against the wall, some are soaked in formalin waiting to be used, and some are lying on the beds.
Elsewhere, they could only look in through the windows above the doors.
The two of them separated and went to look outside the doors of different rooms.
Hua Haoming patted Xia Bai, who was lying at the door of Morgue No. 1 looking at the fresh corpses inside, and took him to the door of an animal specimen room and pointed to the front right side of the room.
Medical schools have animal specimens, as many medical schools offer veterinary medicine. Most of the animal specimens are common pets and domestic animals such as cattle and sheep, except for one species that Hua Haoming couldn't recognize. This was the first strange thing he found on the first floor.
Xia Bai was a little shorter than him, and the window on the door was relatively high, so he had to stand on tiptoe to see.
This entire room is filled with animal specimens, both complete and with organs.
Xia Bai knew at a glance what Hua Haoming was referring to, because there were many specimens of this animal in glass containers there.
They are immersed in formalin, but you can still see that they originally had two small bulging eyes. Some of them have bodies like fish and some like snakes. Some have grown small feet and look like lizards crawling on the ground. Some have spots on their bodies. The overall color is black, red, white and pink.
Some ancient and primitive traces from the bottom of the water can be seen on them.
When Xia Bai saw them, he suddenly lowered his head.
The floor of the corridor was damp, and something had grown in the cracks of the floor, which looked like moss in dim light.
When he wanted to squat down to take a closer look, Hua Haoming grabbed his arm and pointed to the outer door.
It was time for them to go out; class was almost about to start, and they also had to say a few words to the people waiting outside.
Xia Bai and Hua Haoming went out.
Sure enough, as soon as Lin Xiang saw them, he ran over anxiously, "Why did you come out just now? Class is about to start!"
Hua Haoming said: "I took a look inside."
Lin Xiang: "Did you find anything?"
Hua Haoming: "We'll talk about it later. Let's go to class first."
When they arrived at the anatomy lab, before Professor Liu arrived, Hua Haoming sent a message to Xia Bai, asking him if he recognized what it was. Unfortunately, Xia Bai was so absorbed in the anatomy class, or in the close contact with the cadaver teacher, that he didn't see the message at all.
They didn't have much time left, and Hua Haoming was quite anxious. He thought Xia Bai would be able to see it after class, but it turned out that Xia Bai went to discuss academic issues with Professor Liu.
Not only did he not get an answer, but he also had to wait for Xia Bai downstairs in the teachers' office building with Lin Xiang.
Lin Xiang was afraid that he would get angry, so he said, "That's what academic bullies are like."
Hua Haoming snorted and thought to himself, what’s the use of being a top student in the game?
Xia Bai came out and saw Hua Haoming's face was dark. Before he could speak, he took the initiative to say: "That's an animal salamander."
He interrupted Hua Haoming again and said, "Professor Liu told me that Wang Badan brought it to the laboratory building."
After Lin Xiang figured out what was going on, he said, "Professor Liu actually told you such an important clue."
Xia Bai nodded, "I asked him, and he hesitated for a moment and then told me."
Lin Xiang sighed: "The top student is not only liked by teachers in real life, but also very useful in games."
Hua Haoming: “…”
"But why did Wang Badan take the salamander to the morgue?" Lin Xiang asked.
"I heard about salamanders when I was talking about a game expansion." Hua Haoming said, "They seem to have a strong regenerative ability. They can even regenerate their brains after being cut. They are known as immortal creatures."
"Yes." Xia Bai said, "Professor Liu said that Wang Badan was an associate professor at the school last year. He had a research project related to skin regenerative medicine. Salamanders are rare animals that can regenerate their skin without leaving scars after damage. He found many species of salamanders to do research."
It made sense, but they all knew it couldn't be that simple.
Lin Xiang began to use his imagination again, "Could it be like this? Wang Badan experimented on the deformed man with what he extracted from the salamander, and then broadcasted it live to the perverted person. There might be a live dissection or something. Because of the regenerative ability of the salamander, the deformed man would regenerate again and again. How painful it would be. After his death, he would become a fierce ghost, staying in the morgue to curse and avenge people."
“…”
I didn't know what to say, but I couldn't refute it either.
Lin Xiang also felt that something was missing. "It was missing the most crucial link. What was it? A protagonist?"
Hua Haoming: "Let's go eat first."
Because it took Xia Bai quite a while to get words from Professor Liu, when they arrived at the restaurant, Wen Qiu, Wen Dong, and Meng Tianyou had already finished their meal and were walking out.
Lin Xiang watched from a distance and said, "I always feel that they are hiding something. Did they really not find out anything this morning?"
"Do you still need to think so? They must be hiding something. They have teamed up to find out the truth before us and get the game rewards." Hua Haoming said with certainty. He reminded again, "Don't be soft-hearted and let your guard down just because you see Wen Qiu crying and her weak side."
As soon as they arrived at the dormitory, they had a feud with Meng Qing and Meng Tianyou, mother and son. Wen Qiu was an old player and definitely wanted the game rewards. In addition, Wen Qiu and Meng Qing were in the same dormitory for the past two days, so it was normal for Wen Qiu, Wen Dong and Meng Tianyou to join forces.
I just didn’t expect Hua Haoming to be so wary of Wen Qiu.
Xia Bai asked: "Didn't you guess that she was an old player? You knew she was an old player as soon as you saw her?"
"Yes." Hua Haoming did not hide it from them. "I knew she was a player a long time ago. It was not because I saw her information at the Gaming Administration. There are tens of thousands of registered players, and I can't possibly know every one of them. I recognized her because the player group she belonged to was the focus of the Gaming Administration."
"Is it a dangerous group?" Lin Xiang asked.
Hua Haoming did not give a definite answer to this question. He just told them what he knew and let them make their own judgment.
"After the game came out, many players tried their best to complete it and study it, all in the hope of ending the game and making it disappear from our world. But some players felt the opposite. They felt that the game was the advent of the law of [survival of the fittest], a beneficial screening for humans, filtering out the useless and weak humans and leaving the best genes. It was the evolution of humans, and the spread of the game should not be stopped."
"Wen Qiu is in such a team. They have a player guild called the Shengyou Guild."
"Most players in the Holy Tour Guild are radical, and sometimes they help the game with 'internal self-screening' of humans. They usually fight for game rewards at all costs and become players with weapons so that they can screen others."
Lin Xiang was stunned. “There is actually such a group.”
Hua Haoming: "I feel like Wen Qiu doesn't have any powerful weapons or skills, and she's in a guild like this, so she'll definitely try her best to get the reward this time."
Xia Bai said: "It's so critical now, but she is not willing to open up and exchange information with us. She must have learned a lot and is very confident about this game."
“Maybe there’s the key we’re missing.” Lin Xiang said, “It would be nice to know what they found.”
Xia Bai: "It's a bit simple."
"?"
Xia Bai walked into the restaurant, glanced around the restaurant, and walked to a table.
Hua Haoming and Lin Xiang both noticed that when they came to the restaurant in the morning, Wen Qiu and the others were just leaving a table, and Xia Bai went to those people.
"Xia Bai, you did a great job in today's anatomy class!"
"Xia Bai, are you okay going to prepare for teaching today? Don't get into any trouble. We can't live without you."
"Xia Bai, what did you discuss with Professor Liu?"
"Xia Bai, you'll have to be more active in the anatomy class tomorrow."
As soon as Xia Bai arrived, he was warmly greeted and sat down. He answered their questions, talked to them for a few words, and then asked directly: "I wanted to come over this morning, and saw Wen Qiu and the others were here with you. What were they talking about with you?"
"They asked us about Chu Xuelin."
"Yes, that's the counselor who disappeared. They were so weird and sneaky."
Lin Xiang: “…”
Hua Haoming: “…”
Lin Xiang: "Is this the horror of a popular top student?"
Hua Haoming: “…………”
The author has something to say:
Hua Haoming: It’s my fault for being a poor student and being too loud.
