Chapter 7 Peace Medical School 5
Xia Bai blinked, and finally some emotion showed on his face.
Lin Xiang and Hua Haoming both saw it from his overly handsome face. This emotion is called "How could you do this?" Yes, they both saw it, and saw it very accurately, but their understandings were completely different.
Lin Xiang, who was originally afraid, felt a surge of courage when he saw that Xia Bai was still unwilling to put him in danger. "Xia Bai, they all have their families protecting them, and so do you. They have a father, a mother, and a sister, and you have a brother. Don't worry, I will definitely rush in front of you."
Hua Haoming: “…”
Xia Bai opened his mouth, "No need."
Lin Xiang said firmly: "Definitely."
Hua Haoming looked up at the sky, and after a while, "Puff!"
Xia Bai: “…”
Xia Bai stood up immediately. It was almost time to enter the laboratory, so he left without any reluctance.
"Hey? Xia Bai, wait for me!" Lin Xiang strode after him.
Hua Haoming also stood up and sighed, "What an idiot! I'm the one who's afraid of these things."
This medical school is small and old. If it were in the real estate market, it would be considered an old and dilapidated building that everyone dislikes. However, old and dilapidated buildings also have their own unique beauty, with thick trees and green grass like clouds.
The banyan tree, which was several decades old, grew taller than the four-story laboratory building. Perhaps because it was blocked from sunlight by the tree all year round, the laboratory building was very humid. As soon as they entered, they felt some kind of cool, rotten moisture sticking to them.
In addition to the pungent smell of marmarin, the humidity also has a faint fishy smell.
Xia Bai sniffed and it was the same fishy smell he smelled near the artificial lake.
The light in the lab building was very poor, and the lights were on even at 2 p.m. I don't know what the designer was thinking at the time, but the interior of the lab building was the same as the exterior, with a large area of red. The red walls, eroded by the years, looked like dried blood seeping out of the wall in the dim light.
The door was facing the stairs, and the players walked straight up the stairs without any pause.
The first floor was the morgue, where all the bodies and various human organ specimens sent by the cooperative hospitals were stored. In the long and dark corridor, there was a room whose door was not closed tightly. The gap in the door was dark, as if something was spying on them. The dampness that made the skin sticky and itchy and the stomach juice churned seemed to come from there.
Xia Bai paused for a moment, and just as he took a look at the morgue next to him, he was dragged up the stairs by Hua Haoming.
After reaching the second floor, Lin Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. "Do you feel it? The first floor is very cold and gloomy."
Wen Dong nodded, "I'm getting goose bumps. Are we really going in at night?"
Lin Xiang: "Let's pick a noon date."
The same was true for other players. Their breathing became much heavier. It was hard to describe the feeling of being infected by that cold and fishy smell. It was almost suffocating.
Only Xia Bai felt regretful.
There are ten anatomy labs on the second floor, and they have classes in 203.
The laboratory was slightly smaller than the classroom where they had classes. On the experimental table in the center, there lay a dead body. The body was very dark in color and looked like it had been dead for some time.
Generally, medical schools have cooperative hospitals. Some people who have signed a body donation agreement and are willing to use their bodies for scientific research will have their bodies sent to the school for teaching after they die in the hospital. They are respectfully called cadaver teachers by medical students.
These people are very respectable and great, so many medical students are not afraid of cadaver teachers.
But, this is in the world of horror games.
Except for the fresh corpses used for teaching, most human specimens would be drained of blood and soaked in formalin, which would darken in color over time. The one on the test bench had already turned dark brown. But strangely, he looked very alive without blood, and even his face, which had been soaked in formalin for who knows how long, seemed to still have expression.
The body was intact, except for the mouth which was sewn up, and it looked like it had been sewn up more than once.
Xia Bai stared at the corpse intently, her eyes slightly widened, presenting her most beautiful look.
It was not until Lin Xiang pulled him that he saw that the anatomy teacher had arrived.
The teacher first explained the theoretical knowledge to the students, and then said, "Don't be nervous. Let's do a simple one. I'll tell you a few muscles, and ask a classmate to feel them and see if you can feel them clearly."
How can this be easy? This is hellish difficulty.
When the teacher looked over, they all lowered their heads, wishing they could disappear right where they were.
There is only one exception.
Xia Bai raised his right hand high.
After looking at the dark heads one by one, the teacher saw Xia Bai's eyes staring at him, full of curiosity, expectation, and thirst for knowledge. He felt the emotion and joy of being a teacher for the first time in a long time.
He immediately said, "Okay, this student."
The others looked up. Lin Xiang then realized that the teacher had called Xia Bai. Just as he was about to move forward, Hua Haoming held him tightly.
After Meng Tianyou found out it was Xia Bai, he looked at him with a gloating look. Xia Bai happened to pass by him, and in those two seconds, he saw a flash of light in Xia Bai's eyes.
Everyone knew that Xia Bai had a pair of particularly beautiful eyes, even he had to admit that they were beautiful, but these eyes were usually empty and dull, as if they had no soul. At this moment, the light in his eyes completely lit up his eyes, and even gave people the feeling that this gloomy and dilapidated laboratory was lit up.
Xia Bai was already standing next to the corpse, and Meng Tianyou came back to his senses. He had been in a trance just now.
At this time, Xia Bai was looking at his teacher Professor Liu with such eyes, and Professor Liu was moved again. He was so moved that he felt a little ashamed for his perfunctory teaching for such a long time.
Who says they are irrevocably resistant to anatomy lessons?
Such students must be little angels who come to heal their teachers.
Professor Liu: "Student, what's your name?"
Xia Bai: "Teacher, my name is Xia Bai."
Professor Liu: "Okay, Xia Bai, shall we start now?"
Xia Bai: “Yeah!”
Professor Liu: "Sternocleidomastoid muscle, transverse abdominal muscle, sartorius muscle..."
Xia Bai had a pair of cold white hands, which were different from the impression he gave people. His hands had a strong sense of bones. Following Professor Liu's words, his hands slowly moved on the corpse. The cold white hands with purple blood vessels formed a strong contrast with the dark brown and dry corpse, stimulating people's eyes.
Those hands could always accurately find every muscle, which made people imagine that if they held a scalpel, they would be able to cut open the human body accurately and neatly, separating the muscles and bones. But in fact, when those hands wandered over the corpse, they were like the caress of a lover, gentle and powerful.
Lin Xiang was stunned.
Hua Haoming thought that he should realize something now.
Then, Lin Xiang muttered, "He actually remembered everything. Xia Bai is amazing!"
Hua Haoming: “…”
Professor Liu became more and more satisfied as he watched, and finally stopped the exam and said to Xia Bai, "Student Xia Bai is awesome."
Xia Bai's happy face was shining, "Thank you, teacher. I can continue."
"No need, I can see you have mastered it all." Professor Liu asked, "How do you feel?"
Because of that campus legend, these two classes of students were very resistant to anatomy lab classes. Even if they came across human specimens in class, their brains probably didn't work.
It was so hard to meet Xia Bai, who was devoted to medicine and not afraid of legends. Professor Liu wanted him to talk about his feelings to dispel everyone's fear.
Xia Bai cooperated and spoke. His eyes, which were full of smiles just now, showed a bit of sadness and depression. "He is very lonely."
"……?"
Even the professor was confused, "What? Who's lonely?"
"The cadaver teacher was very lonely. When he died, the god of death came, but it was only a short visit, taking away his soul. Later, other people and other things came, but his soul was gone too, leaving only his body, sinking in the darkness of formalin all day long."
“…”
Xia Bai looked sad, "He is very lonely, he needs a home."
“…………”
Hua Haoming felt that the second half of the sentence sounded familiar, and he couldn't bear to listen to it.
Lin Xiang was stunned and murmured, "Xia Bai is really kind. He can even empathize with a corpse."
Hua Haoming: “…”
You are not a normal person!
Professor Liu was wondering how to respond to Xia Bai's words, but after hearing Lin Xiang's sigh, he quickly said, "Yes, Xia Bai is very kind, and he will definitely become a good doctor in the future."
Hua Haoming: “…”
What a good doctor he is. Any hospital that dares to hire him would not want a morgue.
For reasons that everyone knows, this long anatomy class was not as scary as imagined.
After class, everyone looked at Xia Bai strangely, with suspicion and scrutiny.
Wen Dong had a toothache and felt the terrible pressure from his roommate. "Xia Bai, you are so positive. Are you studying hard in the game?"
Xia Bai nodded.
Wen Qiu stared at him for a few seconds and said, "Since you want to learn so much, you can be more active in anatomy class in the future."
Several people said: “Yes, yes, yes!”
Xia Bai nodded actively.
Meng Tianyou couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he said, "Should we discuss the clues we can get from the anatomy class?"
As he said this, his mind was filled with the image of Xia Bai's hands caressing the human specimen. After trying for a while, he finally found a suspicious point, "The cadaver teacher's mouth is sewn up. I have never heard of sewing the mouth of a human specimen like this."
"I know, I know." Song Qiang said, "When I went to the countryside before, I heard people say that people who were murdered had to put something in their mouths and their mouths were sewn shut to prevent them from complaining to the King of Hell after they went to hell."
Meng Tianyou: "Uncle, our medical school is a place that teaches science, so forget about those village women's lies."
"You're talking about science when we're already involved in a horror game? Can you use science to explain our current situation?" Lin Xiang retorted.
Meng Tianyou: "...You are deliberately making things difficult for me, right?"
Wen Dong said: "I think we should think more broadly and not directly deny the possibility that Uncle Song said."
"This medical school is so small, but anatomy classes are arranged so frequently. Where do they get so many cadaver teachers? Do you think there is a problem with the source of cadaver teachers? Is that why they sew their mouths shut?"
Lin Xiang was very cooperative with Wen Dong's words. He immediately began to think divergently, "Sewing the mouth is to prevent the person from speaking, so the one who did the evil is the school? Is it the school that killed people and made them cadaver teachers? Are the people who were killed the students or teachers of the school?"
Hua Haoming raised another possibility from another angle, "Stealing corpses, illegal trading?"
As he said this, he glanced at Xia Bai.
Xia Bai was at a loss. He was smelling his hands. After class, he took off his gloves but did not wash his hands, as if he was reluctant to wash away the smell.
“…”
They discussed all the way until they returned to the dormitory but still couldn't come to any conclusion.
Lin Xiang: "Then do we still have to go to the morgue to look for clues tonight?"
To be honest, several people didn't want to go. When they entered this afternoon, they instinctively sensed the danger and were so scared that their hearts were covered with goose bumps. Moreover, they didn't sleep last night, so they were tired and sleepy at this time, and they felt dizzy when walking.
Wen Dong said, "We still have classes tonight, and the lights in the dormitory will be turned off. How about we go to bed early tonight and go tomorrow night when we don't have classes?"
This proposal was supported by many people, and now they were all exhausted. So they returned to the dormitory after class tonight.
Xia Bai was still very active in sleeping. When the three most sleepy people were still trying to sleep, he had already fallen asleep.
The medical school was still very humid at night, and there was a faint fishy smell in the humidity. Xia Bai realized in his sleep that this humidity was the same as the smell in the laboratory building and the artificial lake, like some kind of green algae at the bottom of the lake, or some kind of animal in the water.
The moisture became increasingly sticky and cooler, clinging to my legs like an icy ghost's hand.
Xia Bai opened his eyes.
A dark shadow was lying on his bed, very close to him.
Wen Dong drew the curtains again, and the dormitory was in darkness. All that could be seen was the outline of a black shadow, the light coming out of the eyes, and a row of white teeth showing when the mouth opened.
In fact, Xia Bai had never looked at Song Mingliang's eyes carefully. Most of the time, he kept his head slightly lowered, and his eyes were covered by thick bangs.
At this moment, at such a close distance, his bangs were pushed aside, and he could see clearly that Song Mingliang had a pair of narrow and dark eyes, which were filled with excitement and madness. The light made the row of white teeth look as sharp as snow in the darkness.
The author has something to say:
Xia Bai: I just want to give every body a home.
