After receiving Chen Ge's definite reply, Li Zheng's tone became much more relaxed. He himself didn't understand why, but he always felt very stressed every time he called Chen Ge.
"If you have nothing else, I'll hang up first. You should get some rest early."
Just as Li Zheng was about to hang up the phone, Chen Ge spoke up: "Wait a minute, I have another question."
"What's the problem?"
"Liu Zhe turned himself in. Did he reveal where he hid the body? Has the body been found?"
"It's similar to what we speculated before. Liu Zhe is a school staff member. He used his position to let the students move the sculpture into the warehouse. Then he sneaked over at night, took the body out of the sculpture, and hid it in the underground morgue." Li Zheng's voice became lower, as if he was recalling some very unpleasant scene.
"Then you entered the underground corpse storage?" Chen Ge pricked up his ears to listen. The underground corpse storage is a horror scene with a screaming index of three stars, and it is also the last prerequisite task for the four-star horror scene Psychic Ghost School. Any information related to the underground corpse storage is very important to him.
"I went in with the school staff today and found the body in Warehouse No. 5. We did a DNA comparison and found that she was Ma Ying's missing sister."
When Li Zheng said this, the black cell phone suddenly vibrated. Chen Ge took it out and found that he had received a message.
He did not open it to look, but continued to ask Li Zheng: "Brother Zheng, can you tell me about the layout of the underground morgue? Do you have a map of the underground morgue of Jiujiang West Campus?"
The underground environment is very complex and the map is very important to him.
Li Zheng was in his thirties, and there was nothing wrong with Chen Ge calling him Brother Zheng. But for some reason, Li Zheng's hair stood up inexplicably after hearing Chen Ge's address to him, and he had a bad feeling in his heart: "I don't have a map, but I know the general route. There were school staff there at the time. Why are you asking these questions?"
"I'm just simply curious." After Chen Ge talked for a long time, Li Zheng finally told him the layout of the underground corpse storage.
"The underground morgue in the west campus is the largest underground morgue in Jiujiang and even in central and southern China. It has been in use since the founding of Jiujiang Medical University and has a history of several decades. When we went in, the school staff specifically told us not to run around. There are crisscrossing passages inside, which are roughly divided into three types according to their functions."
"One is a corpse transport channel with white paint, one is an unpainted channel for people to walk through, and the other is a channel with red paint. The staff member didn't tell me what the red channel is for, but just said to walk around it if you see it and not to go in."
Li Zheng's words caught Chen Ge's attention. It was the first time he heard of a passage being painted red. "Could it be that the existence of the 'door' has an impact on the surrounding area?"
"What are you talking about?" Li Zheng didn't hear Chen Ge's mumbling clearly.
"It's okay, just continue."
"The staff couldn't tell us exactly how big the underground corpse storage was. There were six warehouses on record, but after we actually entered, we only walked about one-third of the distance and saw three small warehouses and two medium-sized warehouses." Li Zheng seemed to have something else to deal with, so he spoke faster: "The large warehouse is at the innermost part. It is said that they are all corpse storage pools. It is a large pool filled with formalin. Various specimens are stored in it and fished out when they need to be tested. But those are things from many years ago and have long been abandoned. Now they have been replaced with freezers specifically for storing corpses."
Li Zheng roughly told Chen Ge the layout of the underground morgue, but it was the same as not telling him anything. The road conditions were too complicated and there were no reference points. Chen Ge felt it was still very dangerous to go in alone.
"Brother Zheng, when you went in, did you hear any strange noises? Or did any strange things happen?" The underground morgue is similar to the underground parking lot of his own haunted house. There is no sunlight, and ghosts are likely to appear during the day.
"Strange things?" Li Zheng thought for a moment, "There are indeed a few. We entered through a passage that was not painted for living people to walk on. When we passed through a passage painted white, we heard a sound similar to clapping coming from inside."
Chen Ge became interested after hearing this: "Can you tell me more about it?"
"It was like someone was standing at the other end of the passage clapping their hands, but we didn't see anything when we passed by. But the strange thing is that the passage painted white looked much cleaner than the unpainted one, as if someone was walking in it all the time."
Chen Ge took out a pen and paper and wrote down all the key points that Li Zheng said.
"The second strange thing is that when we passed Warehouse No. 1, one of our team members saw someone walking around in the warehouse. However, the iron door of Warehouse No. 1 was clearly locked, and we should have been the only ones who entered the underground corpse storage at that time."
"We asked the staff, and they said it was because they were too nervous. The underground morgue is very depressing and it is easy to cause all kinds of negative emotions in people. The staff also comforted my team members and said that they would get used to it slowly."
"The third strange thing happened when we entered Warehouse No. 5. Everyone was looking for the body Liu Zhe mentioned, but the door of Warehouse No. 5 closed by itself. It felt like someone closed the door from the outside and wanted to trap us all inside."
"The last thing happened when we found the body and were about to leave. We walked out of Warehouse No. 5 and returned along the same route. It was the same road, but it took twice as long as the time it took to go in." The fourth strange thing bothered Li Zheng the most. He still couldn't figure out why this happened. "Don't disbelieve it, it's a very strange feeling, like it's the same road, but it's been stretched out."
"What you said is quite scary." Chen Ge looked at the information written on the white paper, and put it away after confirming that it was correct.
"It's not scary at all." Li Zheng seemed to have heard something from Chen Ge's words, and immediately changed his tone: "Chen Ge, that place is extremely dangerous, don't have any strange thoughts."
"What kind of weird thoughts can I have?" Chen Ge was speechless: "Am I that kind of person?"
"Let me remind you, don't go there alone. I have something else to do, so I won't chat with you anymore." Li Zheng said and hung up the phone.
Chen Ge sat alone in the staff lounge. He realized that he had underestimated the danger of the underground morgue.
"Although both Living Coffin Village and the Third Sick Wing are three-star horror scenes, the scariest creatures in these two scenes have been weakened for various reasons. This allowed me to take advantage of the loophole."
When Chen Ge went to the third ward, only three of the ten patients were in the scene, not to mention the Living Coffin Village. The most terrifying female ghost who jumped into the well possessed Jiang Ling and had no ill will towards Chen Ge at all.
"With my current ability, a three-star scene in its full state is still quite dangerous." Chen Ge turned his head and looked at his own shadow, feeling a little conflicted.
