Chapter 21 Peace Medical School 19
"What do you mean?" Hua Haoming panicked subconsciously when he heard him say that Chu Xuelin was not the protagonist.
All the clues they found in the past few days formed a line and finally pointed to Chu Xuelin. How could they not panic when they heard that Chu Xuelin was not the protagonist?
Meng Tianyou also said: "Impossible! It's obviously Chu Xuelin, it's definitely her!"
The layers of brain fog seemed to be drilling into his head. Hua Haoming pressed his head and asked, "What's going on?"
"We were misled by Professor Liu and thought that the salamanders were used by Wang Badan for his regenerative medicine project. So we put the clues of the salamanders on regeneration and did not continue to look for where the salamanders were obtained from."
Xia Bai sent a message to Lin Xiang, but hadn't received a reply yet. In order to get them to work with him to find a way to call Lin Xiang out as soon as possible, he decided to use the two minutes he had to wait for a reply so that he could tell them everything quickly and directly.
Meng Tianyou: "We are sure that the salamander was raised by Chu Xuelin, and we also think that the key point is regeneration. Is there any problem with this?"
Xia Bai: "It's not regeneration, it's symbiosis."
“When we first explored campus, we saw that pea field, and that was the first key clue.”
"In the photo, Chu Xuelin likes pea flowers very much. The female school worker also confirmed that she bought pea seeds, red beans, and broad beans, all of which belong to the legume family."
Xia Bai's voice sounded weak amid the thunder, but his words were as loud as thunder, shocking Meng Tianyou so much that he couldn't help but take a half step back.
He understood.
He also remembered that when Xia Bai pointed out that it was a pea, it was he who firmly denied its significance and proudly led the attention elsewhere, so that they never paid any attention to the pea again.
Hua Haoming still didn't understand. He felt that the alienation had turned him into a fool. His brain was dizzy from the thunder and couldn't work. He asked again: "What's wrong? What's wrong with Leguminosae? What's wrong with Salamander?"
Xia Bai didn't have time to ask him if he remembered the symbiosis he learned in middle school, so he explained to him directly, "Peas and other legumes and rhizobia are very typical representatives of symbiosis. Chu Xuelin likes pea flowers so much that she also tries to grow other beans because she is similar to them, or she grows them for the symbiotic partner she has with her to see."
"If only the Leguminosae family might be an over-interpretation, then the green algae and the salamanders prove that Chu Xuelin and him have a symbiotic relationship that is difficult for ordinary people to understand."
"Humans have always believed that vertebrates have a unique immune system that excludes other organisms from living in their bodies, but salamanders are an exception.
Meng Tianyou continued, "It and the green algae are a special case of symbiosis between animals and plants."
Xia Bai added: "The most amazing thing is that the green algae exists in the embryonic cells of the salamander, which means that they are tightly entangled with each other before they are formed, grow together, and survive together."
Hua Haoming understood, as did Meng Tianyou, but they did not understand Chu Xuelin and the person they lived with.
Xia Bai touched the family tree in his pocket. "Chu Xuelin raises salamanders and green algae. Maybe it's not because of the salamander's regenerative ability. She just..."
"The symbiosis between her and him may be beyond the common people's cognition and cannot be accepted by others. They cannot tell anyone, so they grow up together and live together in secret. They are not lonely but lonely, as if they are aliens in this world. Later, she discovered that there is a similar symbiosis in nature, just like them."
“So she likes pea flowers, she wants to grow red beans, she has green algae and salamanders in her fish tank.”
In fact, the game world gave them a lot of hints.
On the first day, there was a conspicuous pea field in the college.
A photo of Chu Xuelin holding pea flowers.
The female janitor told how she and Chu Xuelin met.
These seem insignificant and unimportant.
The school’s artificial lake is full of green algae, which seem to have human emotions.
On the damp ground on the first floor of the anatomy laboratory building, green algae that looked like moss spread and grew towards the salamander specimens.
There was a watery smell coming from Song Mingliang's body, but no one knew what it was.
Meng Qing's bathroom was not filled with the smell of blood.
Not so direct, but they are also hints.
Chu Xuelin was more like a salamander, standing intact in front of the world.
The symbiotic TA was like green algae. It had been inside Chu Xuelin when she was still an embryo and had grown up with her.
Players with a quirk of mutation will have invisible but smelt green algae on their bodies when they mutate or die, which means that he or she is the one who caused all this.
He is the key protagonist.
A thunderclap exploded beside his ears. Hua Haoming patted Hun Dun's aching head and realized the seriousness of the situation. "Not good. The game has been misleading us that Chu Xuelin is the protagonist of the story. It asked us to find Chu Xuelin's body. It must be... dangerous!"
When Lin Xiang and Wen Qiu entered the laboratory building, the sky was as gloomy as if it were dark.
Looking in from the door, the laboratory building looked like a bottomless abyss. When Lin Xiang stepped into the door, he felt a chill on his feet and a layer of sweat on his forehead.
There was no one in the laboratory building at noon, so no one turned on the lights because of the rainy day.
They should turn on the light first. Lin Xiang was scared to death, but his mother had taught him not to let girls do this since he was a child, so he had to grope the wall in the dark to find the switch.
The wall was sticky and slippery. He thought of the mottled red walls he saw during the day. It was like old blood seeping out of the wall, and the stickiness had a fishy smell.
His fingers groped along the wall bit by bit, and his imagination began to play uncontrollably again.
Did he feel blood now? Did the blood drawn when handling human specimens get stuck in the wall?
Will he feel a ghost hand? It's right next to him.
Touched it.
Finally found the switch.
Lin Xiang pressed it excitedly.
——No response.
He was stunned for a moment, then pressed it again, but there was still no response.
"grass! "
Wen Qiu asked: "What's wrong?"
Lin Xiang: "I don't know if the switch is broken or there is no electricity, the light won't turn on."
There was a thunderstorm first, and then there was a power outage. Everything was ominous, and Wen Qiu was a little nervous. She didn't know whether she was talking to Lin Xiang or to herself, "Power outages during thunderstorms are common. Don't worry."
Lin Xiang had no choice but to turn on the flashlight on his mobile phone.
The long corridor on the first floor was almost like a night with faint moonlight. Occasionally, there would be lightning, which would flash for a second or two. I wondered if it was a good thing or not.
I don’t know which room’s window was not closed properly, and it was clanging in the strong wind.
The light from the cell phone seemed yellow and weak in such a long and dark corridor, and the pungent smell of formaldehyde mixed with an indescribable fishy smell stuck to my body.
As the two men walked in the morgue, they always felt that the corpses in the morgues were secretly watching them. The further they walked, the stronger this feeling became, and they even felt as if the corpses were lying at their feet and watching them.
"Sister." Lin Xiang called out.
"What?" Wen Qiu asked.
The sound of someone's voice made both of them feel a little relieved.
"Let's make good preparations for teaching first." Lin Xiang said.
He was saying that no matter what Wen Qiu's plan was, in such a creepy environment, they should finish the task first and then think about other things. When doing the task, no one should do anything.
After several seconds, Wen Qiu replied: "Okay."
The two men walked to the door of morgue number four.
Xia Bai and Hua Haoming told him to pay attention to the human specimen opposite the door. Lin Xiang wiped the sweat from his palms on his pants and pointed the light of his mobile phone at the door.
“Squeak—”
The door was slowly pushed open, and the light from the mobile phone shone a beam of light in the dark morgue, just shining on a female corpse and a fetal specimen.
Morgue No. 4 was completely covered by the tree canopy, so fluorescent lights had to be turned on even during the day. It was almost pitch black on rainy days without electricity, and one had no idea whether the bodies in other parts of the room were lying or standing, or where exactly they were.
The two dead bodies in front of them were withered and eerie, "staring" at them. They didn't know the process of how they were made into human specimens, but they seemed to sense the specimens' endless resentment and long-lasting loneliness.
Lin Xiang's breathing became heavier, and he didn't even dare to move the light of his mobile phone into the surrounding darkness.
Only now did he realize how difficult the task of finding Chu Xuelin's body and verifying her deformity was. Even though he had thought about it before, it was not easy. In such an environment, it was as difficult as hell.
If the one facing the door isn't it, will he check them carefully one by one under the light of his cell phone?
Wen Qiu: "First, find the cadaver teacher No. 7 who is preparing for the teaching."
Lin Xiang: "How about you, sister, take a look."
Wen Qiu looked over.
Lin Xiang: "My phone is running out of battery. We can only borrow chargers from the dormitory, and my phone often doesn't charge to 50%."
It’s definitely not that he was afraid, he still had to save some electricity for later use.
Wen Qiu was obviously very scared as well. She closed her eyes and took two deep breaths before moving the light of her mobile phone towards morgue number four.
The light first fell on the ground, moved on the dry, gray-brown feet leaning against the wall, and slowly moved upwards, revealing dead bodies lying on the beds, each covered with a white cloth, silent in the darkness, refusing to be disturbed.
The cadaver teacher No. 7 they were looking for was at the back, immersed in a formalin black box.
Wen Qiu: "Go and get him out."
Lin Xiang was so nervous that his voice became hoarse. "Sister, can you go? I'm scared."
Wen Qiu: "I have to hold the light for you, go quickly."
Lin Xiang walked over with tears in his eyes. Although his tears were choked by the formalin, he was really crying in his heart, calling for his mother and Xia Bai.
Life was so happy before, and the people in the assault team were so great.
Lin Xiang didn't dare to open his eyes, so he half-closed his eyes, not daring to look at the cadaver teacher's face. He just glanced at his terrifying brown body, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and dragged him out.
"Sister, come and help me." The voice sounded a little tearful.
In the darkness, Lin Xiang stood among a pile of corpses, dragging the chest of a corpse, his body covered with formalin, and turned to look at her.
Wen Qiu took a step back, "Can't you carry him up?"
"No!" The voice was low but hoarse.
Wen Qiu really didn't want to go, "Are you a man?"
"No, I'm still a teenager!"
Lin Xiang must not carry the cadaver teacher on his back. He felt that if he did, he would definitely feel his head resting on his shoulders, or he would definitely blow air on his neck, or suddenly open his eyes and stare at him.
"This is a two-person task. Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to complete the task?" Lin Xiang said, "If you don't lift it, I won't care."
Wen Qiu gritted his teeth and walked over, put his phone vertically in his pocket, and lifted the cadaver teacher's legs.
The light from the cell phone was blocked by the clothes, making the dim light in the morgue even dimmer. Just as the two took a step, Wen Qiu bumped into a dead body standing against the wall. When he raised his eyes, he saw the dead body's empty eye sockets.
“Ah! Aaaaaaah!”
As she fell, Lin Xiang also fell and bumped into a dead body's leg. He slid down the dead body's leg and rested his head on the dead body's feet. At the same time, the cadaver teacher fell on him with his head against his face.
"Ahhh, he moved, he must have moved just now!"
"Why are you moving? That's a corpse that has been dead for who knows how many years!" Wen Qiu shouted in a trembling voice.
After a lot of hard work, the two of them finally moved the cadaver teacher out of morgue No. 4.
Lin Xiang had shed all his tears for the whole year tonight, and there were still two tears on his face. "Sister, why do I hear footsteps following us?"
Wen Qiu: "That's the sound of our footsteps echoing in the corridor!"
Lin Xiang: "Really? Look back?"
Wen Qiu: "...Why am I so unlucky to be in the same group with you!"
Lin Xiang: "Sister, don't say that. I also want to be in a group with Xia Bai and Hua Ge. Let me tell you, don't look at Xia Bai because he looks so good and frail. He is very brave and treats me very well. He was the one who carried me out of the grave that year. Let me tell you..."
Wen Qiu couldn't stand it any longer, "Shut up!"
But because of his constant chattering, the eerie and terrifying atmosphere was somewhat less intense.
Wen Qiu was walking quickly in front, and Lin Xiang's long legs were enough to keep up with her speed.
The two men hurriedly but quickly moved the cadaver to the anatomy laboratory.
After completing the teaching preparations, the two of them sat slumped in the laboratory on the second floor, neither of them speaking.
Lin Xiang guessed that Wen Qiu might be like him and also wanted to take this opportunity to look for Chu Xuelin's body on the first floor. Thinking of this, even though he was extremely scared, he still stood up. He had to seize the opportunity and go find Chu Xuelin's body.
When Wen Qiu saw him stand up, he also stood up immediately, and walked downstairs without saying anything.
Lin Xiang saw that her body was shaking and thought, why bother, sister?
Why should he do that?
Thinking of this, he walked down quickly.
Xia Bai and Hua Haoming told him that the female corpse opposite the door of morgue No. 4 was most likely the one, and Wen Qiu might also start from this most obvious one, so he had to be faster than Wen Qiu.
Lin Xiang suppressed his fear and tears, quickened his pace to chase the figure in front of him, and passed Wen Qiu at the door of Morgue No. 1.
The moment he took a step ahead of her, he suddenly opened his eyes wide.
The iron wire that appeared in Wen Qiu's hand at some point was tightly wrapped around his neck, and his face was looking at him sideways just below his shoulder.
Lin Xiang tried his best to pull the wire out, but he was not prepared at the beginning and missed the opportunity. The special wire was very thin and it was deeply cut into his skin and flesh. He could not pull it out no matter what he did.
He could feel Wen Qiu's hands were trembling, but they were extremely strong. The eyes looking at him were so cold that it would not look out of place on a human specimen.
"I'm going to tie you up and take you to Morgue No. 1. If you don't want to die, then cooperate." She pulled back, pulling at the wire.
The wire drew a circle of blood and Lin Xiang could hardly breathe, let alone speak. He had no choice but to follow her step by step and retreat into Morgue No. 1.
He walked backwards into the morgue and couldn't see what was behind him. In the sharp pain, he thought of what Xia Bai said, that Morgue No. 1 held relatively fresh corpses.
Stepping back, I bumped into a bed.
"Sit down and lie down." Wen Qiu said as the wire cut deeper into the flesh.
Lin Xiang had no choice but to obey and sit down obediently. He knew that Wen Qiu was going to tie him to the bed.
The second he sat down, he realized that he was sitting on a dead body. His whole body was stiff, and he looked at Wen Qiu with a pleading look on his face.
You can beat him up, but please don’t tie him to the dead body bed.
He was answered with a painful elbow.
Lin Xiang fell dizzy on the bed. He could feel that his hands and feet were tied to the bed frame, and the wire around his neck was also tied to the bed, fitting tightly to the corpse below.
He seemed to feel something coming out of the mouth of the dead body pressing under his neck, and goose bumps and sweat began to spread downwards from there, but he could not even make a sound, and could not even breathe.
A cluster of light rang out in the dim morgue.
The cell phone in my pocket fell to the ground, and the message sent by Xia Bai gave birth to this ray of light.
Xia Bai: [Stop!]
Xia Bai: [Don't check Chu Xuelin's body.]
"Stop, stop...don't go..." Lin Xiang said, looking in the direction where Wen Qiu's back disappeared.
But Wen Qiu couldn't hear his faint and unclear voice at all, and even if she heard it, she wouldn't stop.
In the dim light, she moved closer to Morgue No. 4 step by step.
In fact, according to her original plan, she would not risk looking for Chu Xuelin today. If she delayed for another day, she would be able to outlast Hua Haoming, and then the game reward would be hers.
But at that time, Hua Haoming died, and her brother also died at one or two o'clock tonight.
Before this morning, she had no intention of changing her plan, even though after seeing that scene last night, some memories came flooding back and kept her awake all night.
She must get the game reward, definitely. As long as she gets a weapon that allows her to survive in the game, everything in the real world will be nothing. She can surpass her parents in a matter of minutes and become someone they have to look up to.
But.
This morning, Wen Dong was lying on the bed with a pale face, but he actually smiled when he saw her.
He said, "It's okay, I'm fine... I've really become a girl like my sister."
She scolded him hysterically until she cried.
Wen Dong stared at the tears on her face and finally showed a painful expression, "Sister, what is covering your eyes? If you can't see, have you ever thought about why my parents supported you to study economics and management, and readily agreed to let me study medicine?"
The smell of formalin was too strong, and Wen Qiu couldn't stop her tears from flowing out. She bit her lips hard to stop the sobs that overflowed from her mouth.
She now wants to get the game rewards even more. Her sunk costs are too high, and she has sacrificed too much to get to this point today.
They have found an almost complete chain of clues, except for the protagonist of the story, Chu Xuelin. Chu Xuelin must have the key clues, and whoever finds it first will have the greatest chance of getting the game reward.
She walked up to the female corpse in morgue No. 4.
This was the human specimen she was most suspicious of. Meng Tianyou had told her that after the bodies in the medical school were processed and taken out of formalin, even if they were used as human specimens, they would not wear clothes because they were to be used for study. However, this human specimen not only clearly showed that the gender was female, but was also wearing a skirt.
It's so weird.
She is most likely Chu Xuelin.
Her deformity must be hidden under her skirt.
Wen Qiu used the scalpel he had just hidden without hesitation to cut her skirt, and the rough skirt slid off her body.
With the help of the light from her mobile phone, Wen Qiu stared at the human specimen without blinking, wanting to see what the secret was under her skirt.
A normal and complete human specimen.
impossible!
There was a hint of panic in Wen Qiu's eyes. This should be Chu Xuelin. The body should be deformed.
If this is not Chu Xuelin, where should Chu Xuelin be?
She must be in Morgue No. 4, because only in this way can she curse those who enter the morgue, and her abnormality can drive people crazy and die. And she is most likely in a place where their eyes can't avoid contact.
Where could morgue number four be more suitable than this?
It must be this one.
It must be!
Yes! Maybe the deformity is in a place that is not easy to see. They speculated that Chu Xuelin should have a missing deformity, which may be inside her body.
She couldn't accept that this wasn't Chu Xuelin, and frantically searched for any evidence that could prove this was Chu Xuelin.
Yes, it must be inside her! They started out as clinical medicine students, and the college made them take human anatomy classes every afternoon. In addition to telling them that there was something wrong with the anatomy lab building, the college made them take anatomy classes every day because they could use anatomy at critical moments.
Now is the critical moment.
Unfortunately, she had never taken anatomy classes seriously, let alone performed a dissection in class. She waved the scalpel wildly and chaotically in the dark.
The sound of thunder and rain blocked everything, and the lightning occasionally revealed a hint of ferocity.
“Pah.”
Something hit her in the face, coming from the corpse's body.
Sticky, slippery, heavy, and with a strong fishy smell.
By the time Wen Qiu reacted, the thing had already quickly disappeared into the darkness, so fast, as if it was even more anxious and crazy than her.
She reached out her hand and touched her face blankly, and felt a sticky liquid.
There was a noise not far from the morgue, and the tremors were mixed with sharp crackling sounds.
In Morgue No. 4, the bodies were soaked in formalin in a large iron box that looked like coffins. The sound seemed to come from there, but also seemed to be coming from deeper inside.
She was in a hurry to dissect a human specimen just now, using both hands, and her cell phone fell to the ground. It was dark and gloomy there, and she couldn't see clearly, and she didn't dare to use her eyes to search for the unknown in the dimness.
She trembled and bent over to touch her phone.
First, she felt the tissue of the human specimens she had dissected, piled on the ground in pieces, and then she felt a foot. It belonged to a male specimen not far from the female corpse.
The withered toe moved beneath her palm.
“Ah! Aaaaaaaah!!!”
*
"Lin Xiang! Lin Xiang, where are you!"
When Lin Xiang's fear reached its peak and he was about to faint, he caught Xia Bai's voice calling him among the screams of terror.
His tears suddenly came down.
When he was first tied up by Wen Qiu, he felt that the corpse beneath him was breathing, which might have been an illusion of his brain when he was frightened. But when the screams sounded, he felt that the breathing must be real. There was already moisture on the back of his neck. The dead body was breathing near him, and might be looking at him.
But he couldn't break free at all, his whole body was limp, and he could only lie on the dead body closely.
He was almost scared to death, really scared to death, no exaggeration.
Just then, Xia Bai's voice was heard.
Xia Bai came to see him again.
Once again, even more terrifying than last time.
Xia Bai must be the angel sent to him by God.
If Xia Bai was a girl, he would definitely spend all his money to marry her.
Xia Bai gave him strength. Even though his hands and feet were strangled, he fought desperately with the corpse under him, and struggled and shook forward.
The bed in Morgue No. 1 was a simple iron bed. It was not of very good quality and was very light. Even with a dead body on it, it began to sway and creak, making a harsh sound as it rubbed against the floor.
"Here, Xia Bai, I'm here..."
Xia Bai soon heard the noise he made and ran into the morgue.
"Xia Bai, Xia Bai." Lin Xiang called him in a hoarse and broken voice.
Xia Bai: "Don't worry, I'll solve it later."
Lin Xiang's tears streamed down his face. His body was tightly and stiffly stretched, trying to stay as far away from the corpse as possible. "There's breathing, really, it's a corpse, it's Xia Bai, it's true... I'm going to die!"
Xia Bai was breathing heavily. His head was buzzing as he listened to the screams and rumblings outside. It felt like something was about to begin, and his heartbeat began to accelerate.
"It's unlocked."
The next second, Lin Xiang jumped up from the bed.
“Bang!”
The strong wind blew open the broken windows, bringing with it wind, rain and lightning.
The cold wind blew up the white cloths covering the corpses in the room. In the gap of one or two seconds, the dead bodies were exposed to the lightning. Their gray-purple faces, struggling eyelids, and stiffly stretched hands seemed as if they would fall to the ground in the next second.
"Did you see that? They're moving! What should I do...what should I do, Xia Bai?" Lin Xiang, who had just had close contact with the corpses, was frightened by so many corpses that he felt dizzy and at a loss. "My heart is beating so fast."
Xia Bai stared at the dead bodies lying on the beds all over the room, swallowed his saliva, and covered his chest, "Me too."
"Then, let's hurry up."
Just like last time, they had perfect tacit understanding. The two looked at each other and Lin Xiang yelled, "Three, two, one! - Run!"
"Ahhhh!" Lin Xiang, who had been terrified and tortured all night, screamed and ran to the door, tears streaming down his face and his eyes turned red.
"Ahhh!" Xia Bai, who had been suppressed all night, was finally released from his state of mind. The family tree was no longer useful. He ran madly towards the corpses all over the room, his face flushed with excitement.
Lin Xiang ran to the door: "......?"
"Wenqiu!"
"Where are you, Wen Qiu? Don't touch Chu Xuelin!"
“Bang!”
When Hua Haoming and Meng Tianyou pushed open the door of morgue No. 4 and saw Wen Qiu lying on the ground screaming, they just happened to hear this dull and deafening sound, the sound of something heavy falling to the ground.
This sound... Hua Haoming, who had been to Morgue No. 4, immediately recognized that it could only be the sound of the lid of the black box containing human specimens and formalin solution falling to the ground.
Wen Qiu was under the light of their mobile phones, so naturally no one else opened them or pushed them.
So……
Hua Haoming held his breath and moved the light of his mobile phone stiffly and slowly.
The flickering light slowly moved from the yellow and mottled wall to the other wall.
It was not the black box that could be seen piled up against this wall, but one placed on the ground with its lid turned over on the ground, and a pair of swollen, pale feet standing next to it.
I don't know whose breathing was trembling, the lights also trembled, and the entire morgue No. 4 was moving with it, rustling.
The light moves upward, competing with the liquid sliding downward, chasing the brown to white, and the dry to swollen.
The three people's eyes opened wider and wider, the light in their pupils trembled, and reflected pairs of eyes after pairs of eyes, those eyes were drilling deep into their eyes.
The female corpse seemed to have come back to life. Its pale and slippery body was covered with eyes, which opened and stared at them.
"This is Chu Xuelin. She is indeed deformed! This is her secret!" Wen Qiu shouted hoarsely, shouting out all the panic in her body. She laughed excitedly, "Found it! We found the truth!"
"careful!!!"
Wen Qiu looked up following Meng Tianyou's voice and saw his extremely frightened expression.
At the same time, her neck felt heavy, and something cold sat on it. Among the human specimens facing the wall, there was a fully formed fetus.
A sound that sounded like crying and laughing rang in her ears, childish, cold and sad.
With this sound, all the corpses in Morgue No. 4 began to move.
“Ahhh! Hua Haoming! Save me!”
Meng Tianyou stepped back repeatedly, watching the dead fetus open its eyes and look at Wen Qiu with its dark eyes, and shouted in fear: "Hua Haoming! Hua Haoming! Save her!"
In their hearts, Hua Haoming is the most powerful and the only one who can fight against these strangely resurrected dead bodies.
Hua Haoming did move, and did approach the corpse that had just stood up beside him. He walked over with an expressionless face and bit the flesh on the corpse's shoulder.
Meng Tianyou fell to the ground in fright.
Pica.
The corpses seemed to come alive, and the players' habits were completely changed.
"Xia, Xia Bai, Xia Bai!" In this desperate situation, the only person he could think of was Xia Bai.
"Xia Bai!" Lin Xiang, who discovered something was wrong, also called Xia Bai.
He noticed that Xia Bai was not there, and was dumbfounded when he turned around.
Xia Bai stretched out his hands and ran towards the corpse with red cheeks.
As soon as the corpse sat up, Xia Bai hugged the neck and rubbed it excitedly.
After rubbing this one, he excitedly ran to stick to another one.
After sticking one on, he quickly went to pull another one, wanting to touch and stick all the corpses in the morgue.
"Ahhh, so many! So many corpses!" He rolled over on the two corpses with excitement and extreme satisfaction.
Lin Xiang: “……?”
Lin Xiang: “???”
Lin Xiang: “???????”
Lin Xiang always knew that Xia Bai was good-looking, so good-looking that when he paid a little attention to someone, they would be speechless. When Lin Xiang wanted to be good friends with Xia Bai, this happened to him frequently.
However, Xia Bai often looks like his mind is wandering in space, as if his brain is not in his head, like a baby whose soul has run away from home.
At this moment, all his souls must have come back, it was thrilling and dazed to watch these dead bodies.
His selfless, otherworldly Xia Bai.
He doesn't understand.
He was shocked.
His brain ran away from home.
The dead bodies probably couldn't understand it either. When Xia Bai rubbed, stuck, pulled and tugged at them, their already stiff bodies became even stiffer.
A flash of lightning exploded, illuminating the current state of the corpses. When Xia Bai touched two of the corpses, a pink color spread on their gray-brown faces.
Lin Xiang: “?”
This shock brought him many questions, which even overwhelmed the fatal fear just now.
The corpse that was breathing beneath him, scaring him to the point of suffocation and almost fainting, was... blushing?
"Xia Bai! Xia Bai!"
The heart-wrenching screams outside the door brought Lin Xiang back to reality. He saw Meng Tianyou being dragged by his legs by a dry dead hand towards morgue No. 4.
Meng Tianyou's face was distorted with fear, and his nails were deeply embedded in the cracks of the floor, bleeding profusely.
"Where is Brother Hua?!" Lin Xiang ran over and grabbed Meng Tianyou's arm and pulled him out.
"He's chewing on a dead body! Their habits are completely alien!"
Lin Xiang: “?”
Lin Xiang thought a lot in an instant, and in the end only one word came out of his mouth: "Fuck!" He desperately pulled Meng Tianyou out.
But the opponent's strength was too great, beyond the limit of human beings, and even Lin Xiang was almost dragged into morgue No. 4.
Meng Tianyou let out a painful and shrill scream. The light was too dim and Lin Xiang couldn't see what was wrong with his legs. He just used all his strength to pull him. He felt that Meng Tianyou would not survive after being pulled in.
"Save me, save me..."
The muscles in Lin Xiang's arms tensed and the veins on his forehead bulged. He screamed and used all his strength to finally pull Meng Tianyou out.
He didn't have time to take a closer look and ran out dragging Meng Tianyou.
He stopped after running less than two steps.
The door of morgue No. 3 was kicked open, and the incomplete cadaver teacher rushed out.
Xia Bai and Hua Haoming told him that morgue No. 3 was a temporary storage point for cadavers that had just been used by teachers of various grades and majors, and that it was filled with dissected corpses.
Lin Xiang remembered that in the anatomy experiment class, he heard the teacher talk about musculoskeletal separation, but he didn't listen carefully at that time. Now he truly felt what musculoskeletal separation was.
The cadaver teacher who rushed out first made him experience it firsthand.
The arm that was holding Meng Tianyou was trembling with pain and could not drop down. Instead, the person in morgue No. 4 pulled Meng Tianyou inside.
Lin Xiang staggered to the ground and saw the cadaver teacher with an empty chest approaching him. He could actually tell what the teacher was thinking from his body that had been torn apart countless times by dissection.
People can dissect him at will, so why can't he dissect people?
Was pulled in a little further.
He saw the dead bodies from Morgue No. 1 also coming out, with Xia Bai chasing after them.
I saw Song Mingliang peeking out from the corner of the corridor, his yellow eyes glowing with excitement as he watched everything, ready to make a move.
I saw Wen Dong, who was supposed to be lying on the bed, appeared here for some reason.
I saw Wen Dong walk stiffly to the silent Wen Qiu, squat down and pull her hair and face, but I couldn't see his expression clearly.
I saw Xia Bai slap Hua Haoming who was eating a corpse.
I saw the dead body from morgue number two coming out.
Thunder roared, and in this darkness, people's habits became crazy and twisted, drowning their reason and blinding their hearts. The dead surged in, and the grief and anger were about to drown out the vitality of life.
Lin Xiang closed his eyes in despair. In the chaos of the dead bodies, he saw Xia Bai beating Hua Haoming. He wanted to laugh, but more so, he wanted to cry.
He knew that they had failed to break through and they were going to die here.
Before, Hua Haoming repeatedly told them about the horror and cruelty of the game, and he kept nodding, thinking that he understood it. In fact, he could not feel it. Now he truly understands the horror of the game. As long as you make a mistake, you will not have a chance to survive.
He was pulled in a little further, and the anatomy teacher in front of him also followed.
Lin Xiang saw the cadaver teacher reaching out his hand towards his chest. He wanted to close his eyes, but his drooping fingers touched the paper in his pocket, and he suddenly remembered that it was the corpse-suppressing talisman that Xia Bai had given him.
What should Xia Bai do if he can’t beat Hua Haoming?
Before he died, Lin Xiang looked at the two and thought so, then he raised a corpse-suppressing talisman and stuck it on the cadaver teacher's forehead.
This was the last thing he would do in his life, and he would not let Xia Bai down.
The cadaver teacher's hand stopped at his chest.
His arm was in so much pain that he became slow to react, especially when he was waiting to die. He consciously closed his five senses, and it was Meng Tianyou's anxious roar that made him react.
"Lin Xiang! Lin Xiang!! Are there any more? Save me!"
Lin Xiang opened his eyes and looked at the motionless cadaver teacher in shock. When Xia Bai gave him the corpse-suppressing talisman, Hua Haoming said that unless the talisman was a skill acquired in the game, the corpse-suppressing talisman would not work here even if it was effective in their real world.
He accepted Xia Bai's kindness, but thought it was useless.
it works!
It works!
The most exciting thing in the world is to see a glimmer of hope in the most hopeless situation. This made him burst out with great hope and strength. He turned sideways with one hand and stuck a corpse-suppressing talisman on the forehead of the person who was pulling Meng Tianyou's corpse.
Still useful.
Excitedly, he quickly stuck all the corpse-suppressing talismans in his pocket onto the corpses that were about to be dissected, but it was not enough. There were too many corpses in the four morgues, all rushing towards them.
Lin Xiang was trembling all over, but tried his best to stay calm.
He took advantage of Hua Haoming's inattention and kicked him onto the two dead bodies that were about to run over. Hua Haoming immediately kicked one down and stepped on him, while hugging the other one and starting to bite it.
Then he closed the door of morgue No. 4 to block the dead bodies outside.
The door was slammed and he was shaking. He knew he couldn't hold on for two minutes, so he tried his best to find a way to survive.
The most urgent thing was to stop these dead bodies. Xia Bai gave him the corpse-suppressing talisman, and he might still have some on him, so he could go and search for them.
The most fundamental thing is to find the truth. Someone's cell phone fell to the ground and flashed a faint light. With this little light, he saw the female corpse with eyes.
"Is that Chu Xuelin? Aren't so many eyes her deformity? Didn't we find her?" Lin Xiang blurted out excitedly.
"No, this... this is also misleading."
Meng Tianyou's voice had become very weak. Lin Xiang looked over and discovered that one of his legs was gone and blood was all over the floor.
He can't hold on any longer.
This 18-year-old boy, who was previously vain and selfish, was in tears, and the despair he felt as blood flowed out of his body in large streams was too horrifying.
He still tried his best to tell Lin Xiang and give him some hope.
If it was before, he would have thought that this was Chu Xuelin's deformity, but before he came in, he listened to Xia Bai's analysis, and then used negation to reverse the reasoning, and he understood it.
That "ta" in this game can be referred to by green algae. Chu Xuelin is a salamander. These eyes are not her deformity, but someone else's... They are other people's gaze and prying on her, which have turned into eyes growing on every part of her body, which can never be avoided or wiped away.
"Xia Bai..." He didn't have the energy nor the intelligence to think about it. Perhaps only Xia Bai knew the answer.
"Xia Bai, necrophilia, why... on the first night..."
Lin Xiang understood what he wanted to say. Xia Bai was a necrophiliac. That was why he didn't show it on the first night, which was last night. He even went with him to find Hua Haoming.
As the corpse hit him more and more violently, he staggered and recalled the details of last night. Xia Bai's hands often reached into his pockets, as if he was touching something.
“Bang!”
Lin Xiang was knocked out by the corpses behind the door. He stumbled and almost fell. He ran to Xia Bai and pinned him to the ground and searched for him as he was still trying to chase the corpses.
He first found a stack of corpse-suppressing talismans and threw more than half of them to Meng Tianyou. Then he found a yellowed booklet with the word "Family Tree" handwritten on it.
He remembered the back of the booklet. On the day of enrollment, Xia Bai was holding a transparent file bag with the booklet inside.
"Xia Bai! Xia Bai, look! This is your family tree, wake up!" Lin Xiang almost put the family tree against his face, and reluctantly turned it over to show him.
The bloody fingerprints in the family tree quickly flashed before Xia Bai's eyes, one after another.
The winter my grandfather passed away, the yard suddenly became empty.
He didn't want to bury his grandfather, so he kept his grandfather in his room and talked to him every day.
My grandfather said that their yard is a Feng Shui treasure land, and he spent his whole life searching for it.
"Why don't you take a look at how our god of happiness has not decayed for so many years?"
This is a good place for Feng Shui, so his grandfather will stay with him for a long time. He has always kept his grandfather in his original room, talked to him for a while every day, and helped him reply to WeChat messages in the group. This is just like before, as if nothing has changed.
Until I saw corpse spots on my grandfather's body.
He bought a coffin for his grandfather.
That night, he sat alone in the yard for a long time, dug out their family's God of Happiness, wrote down the family tree in this old book, gave them identities, and asked them and their grandfather to press their fingerprints with his blood.
Now that he has no home, he will build another one that will never break up, a very big family.
The bloody finger marks swirled in his eyes, and he remembered how his family's gods of joy always accompanied him. Some of them were more beautiful than movie stars, some were very handsome, and some already had gray hair and always leaned on him.
"Xia Bai! Wake up! What's going on with Chu Xuelin?!" Lin Xiang's voice shook his ears like thunder.
What's going on?
Chu Xuelin?
Xia Bai looked up and saw the female corpse covered with eyes. She opened her mouth and screamed, about to explode.
Xia Bai stared at her, and many images slowly appeared in his chaotic mind.
She was reading a book in the library with her head down, and seemed to be reading softly with her mouth slightly open.
She held the pea flowers in her hands, bent her head and sniffed them, her mouth and nose sinking into the petals.
She took photos in a white coat, covering her mouth as if she was crying and laughing.
A bunch of cadaver teachers with their mouths sewn shut.
"Throw me, throw me on her! Or on the bed in front." Xia Bai shook his head vigorously and grabbed Lin Xiang's arm.
Several dead bodies were rushing towards them.
Even though Meng Tianyou, who was lying on the ground, had a corpse-suppressing talisman, he was almost buried by the corpses.
Behind Lin Xiang, three dry hands dug into his flesh.
He didn't ask why because he believed in Xia Bai unconditionally and was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.
Ignoring the dead hands tearing at his back, he lifted the arm whose flesh and bones were torn apart and picked up Xia Bai, who weighed more than 100 pounds. His tense muscles squeezed out streams of blood. Veins bulged on his forehead and beads of sweat were trembling. With the belief that he had used up all his strength, he threw Xia Bai over.
Xia Bai hugged Chu Xuelin's body tightly, with his fingers scratching her eyes on the back.
The scene of Song Mingliang and his son that he saw that night was in his mind. He chose the same action as Song Mingliang and drilled into the mouth of the female corpse.
