Ten minutes later, the two finally arrived in front of the baby tower.
The Baby Tower looks very tall when viewed from a distance, and its enormity can be felt even more when viewed up close.
It originally had only three floors, and the top three and a half floors were reinforced later.
As you get closer to here, you can smell an extremely pungent stench and the smell of burnt and rotten grease.
The content of black bugs here is even higher, wrapping the baby tower layer by layer.
If you reach out your hand into the air, you may find thousands of them.
It's the hell of trypophobia.
The steep earth slope was compacted by countless footprints and felt like the ridge of a field.
They didn't bring any lighting tools, so Jiang Ji could only walk closer to observe.
When not burning, the temperature of the tower cools down and no trace of residual heat can be felt.
Jiang Ji reached out and scraped away the thick layer of bugs on it. They were like the muddy oil stains covering the range hood, or like a layer of dust on a blackboard that needed to be wiped off before it could be used again. They fell through her fingers.
After erasing a large area, I finally saw the three words "Baby Girl's Corpse" on the tower.
It exists there openly.
Chu Xiuning looked at the slope that stretched straight to the window and invited her with interest: "Would you like to go up and take a look?"
Jiang Ji glanced at him and walked up the slope.
This road is not easy to walk on, it is very slippery and high, and there are no handrails on both sides.
Every step is not easy, but it cannot stop those who are determined.
Jiang Ji walked very slowly at first, being careful not to slip. He was unsure about every step, and there seemed to be an invisible resistance in the air.
By the time she reached the second half, she was already familiar with the slope and her speed had increased a lot. The resistance she had felt just now seemed to have disappeared.
Jiang Ji felt as if he had become the person who had abandoned the baby, carrying a bamboo basket with a swaddled baby in it.
The baby sleeps quietly, trusting the world with all his heart, and has no idea what is about to happen to him.
"You can come down now," said the voice behind me.
Jiang Ji turned a deaf ear and walked upstairs.
Suddenly, the bugs on the tower caught up with her.
Jiang Ji finally walked to the small dark window.
The window was so small that an adult could not fall in, but only a baby could pass through.
The foul smell made her stomach churn.
Jiang Ji looked back
Chu Xiuning saw a pale and indifferent face under the tower. The deep black eyes seemed to be able to penetrate anyone's heart. He frowned slightly.
Jiang Ji stood on tiptoe and looked in through the small window.
She saw—
Dead silence, a vast dead silence.
The bottom of the tower was filled with tiny, tiny remains of babies, charred and melted unidentified matter, black, white, and yellow bones, and palm-sized skull fragments that had not yet closed.
You have to know that even if the body is cremated in a high-temperature incinerator at a crematorium, there is still the bone-collecting step at the end. The high-temperature combustion of more than 900 degrees Celsius cannot burn the hard bones. Some lumps of bones will be mixed in, and they need to be manually hammered and crushed into powder, not to mention these simple incineration towers in the countryside.
The six-and-a-half-story tower has already reached the fourth floor, with bones covering one layer upon another.
It was burned every three days, day and night, regardless of the cold or heat, year after year.
And the one at the bottom, I don’t know how many times it has happened.
The little black bugs that came up with her suddenly surged and swarmed into the tower.
Jiang Ji's perspective was also brought to the bottom of the tower.
A torch fell from high up and ignited with a bang!
It’s so hot! It’s so scalding! It hurts!
But she couldn't scream out, her throat was filled with thick smoke.
The sizzling sound of burning grease and the crackling sound of burning flames drowned out my head.
She saw the black bugs covering the tiny bones, forming the shapes of babies.
It turns out that these small black bugs the size of dust particles all floated out from this tower.
It turns out that what was covering the ground was all their skin fragments and bone powder...
Is it a lot?
Is it a lot?
After Jiang Ji and others left the hospital, other medical staff also took up their posts as required.
The glass in the Ghost Defense Institute is specially made and extremely hard. It is usually strong enough to withstand bullets, but the ghost area is extremely dangerous at night, so under Chu Xiuning's arrangement, an emergency defense state was activated.
All doors and windows were closed tightly, the security door was dropped heavily, and all security devices were activated.
The four psychics with more serious injuries were still unable to get out of bed, but fortunately they were out of danger before being dragged into the ghost realm, and they recovered well and were transferred to a safer and more private ward.
The secret ward is made of special materials, and a little rare substance that can seal cursed objects is added to the walls.
It can block the aura of the cursed object, so it won’t be easily found by the evil spirits.
If one day a strange thing happens where you can find a special ward after birth, then there’s no need to play the game anymore and we can just restart.
However, special wards are expensive and made of scarce materials. Tonghua City spent a huge amount of money to build them, and each ward can accommodate three people at most. If there are more, it will not be able to accommodate the popularity. Moreover, if the entire Ghost Defense Hospital is destroyed, the secret ward will not be able to be preserved at all.
Li Bo and Wang Lichun are the only two combat-type psychics here.
They had not yet been officially discharged from the hospital and were forced to stand guard at the gate while still wearing their hospital gowns.
Except for a doctor and a nurse who were on duty in the secret ward tonight, everyone else was in the lobby on the first floor to avoid being alone.
Everyone pushed out ten beds and placed them neatly in a row in the hall.
Enough biscuits, bread, milk and compressed crackers for seven days were piled on the hospital reception desk.
If you don't know the situation, you might think the end of the world is coming.
"The Baby Tower is just a C+ weird story, why are you so nervous?"
Li Bo found it a little funny to see the safe Ghost Defense Courtyard where not even a fly could fly in.
He is a fat guy who likes to make inappropriate remarks, but often his inappropriate remarks cause the situation to become awkward and boring.
His skull was shattered when he spoke out loudly about the weird things in the ghost realm, and he almost couldn't be saved.
Wang Lichun glanced at him and said, "Since the advent of the strange stories, many places in reality have become strange stories, and the Baby Tower is one of them. Unlike those strange stories that appear randomly, it has always been in Wuhai City.
