Brother Wei picked up two large buckets on the ground and walked deeper into the passage. Li Xu stayed alone, holding a flashlight and unable to control the urge to shine it into the morgue. He knew in his heart that there was a corpse with open eyes looking at him in the dark.
"It's better to close the door. Out of sight, out of mind."
Li Xu closed the warehouse door and looked around. Brother Wei had already gone far away. He felt a little nervous staying alone in the corridor.
Looking back, there seemed to be some monster hidden in the place where the light could not reach. He always felt that there was someone hiding in the corner of the passage.
He wanted to see it, but he didn't dare.
After struggling for a long time, he felt that he felt safer with Brother Wei.
"This place is too weird. At least if we are together, we can have someone to look after each other."
Holding a flashlight, Li Xu looked back every few steps, fearing that something would suddenly appear behind him.
"I hope I'm just too sensitive."
When Li Xu walked away, a ferocious hammer with blood grooves appeared from the corner. Chen Ge tilted his head and stared at the two people in the depths of the passage, with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Did that guy find me just now?"
He walked out from the corner and stopped at the door of the warehouse: "In all the photos Zhang Li gave me, there is no introduction to this corpse warehouse. Could it be that this warehouse is the legendary Warehouse No. 8 that does not exist?"
Chen Ge pushed open the iron door and looked inside. Apart from the glass containers containing the cadavers, there was nothing strange.
"The deceased is peaceful and calm. He must have donated his body voluntarily. There is no resentment in this room. It is definitely different from the rumored Morgue No. 8."
Chen Ge had extensive experience dealing with haunted houses. After taking a quick look, he became even more confused. The situation in this underground morgue might be more complicated than he imagined.
"Just now I seemed to hear those two people talking about handprints. Something ran out..." Just as Chen Ge was about to enter the house, the white cat lying on his backpack suddenly jumped to the ground and ran towards the depths of the passage.
There were other people in the passage. Chen Ge didn't want to expose himself, so he didn't say anything. He temporarily evacuated Morgue No. 8 and followed closely behind the white cat.
After swallowing the blood of the Ghost Story Association, the white cat's body seemed to have become a little bigger, and its movements became more agile. It was very fast and had already rushed several meters away in the blink of an eye.
"What is attracting it?"
Chen Ge knew the white cat very well. Every time they went out to do a trial mission together, the white cat would lie close to him. This cat used to be very brave, but the comfortable life made it lose its wildness, and most of the time it behaved very cowardly. So it would not take the initiative to leave Chen Ge unless it was absolutely necessary.
In order to prevent the white cat from running away, Chen Ge also quickened his pace, and the man and the cat came to the end of the passage.
It seemed that this place had been blocked off with bricks, but something happened later that caused the brick wall to be knocked down.
There were all kinds of debris piled up in the middle of the road, and in the front there was a road sign with a sentence written on it - it has been in disrepair for a long time, there is a risk of landslides, entry is strictly prohibited!
The sticky liquid could be vaguely seen on the stone bricks next to the sign. Li Xu and Brother Wei ran into it.
"The outer area is the latest expansion, with seven warehouses. Going further in, that's the middle area."
Jiujiang Medical University was built several decades ago and is the earliest medical school in Jiujiang. The middle area of the underground morgue has completely preserved the scene of that time.
At that time, corpses were stored in morgues. The large pools were filled with formalin and were full of corpses purchased by the hospital through various channels. When students needed to do experiments, they would be led by teachers into the underground morgue to fish out corpses from the pools.
"The road to the core area should be hidden in the middle area." Chen Ge put away his phone. Most of the maps provided by Zhang Li were about the outer areas. There were very few about the middle areas. As for the core area, it was not shown on the map at all.
Stepping over the wooden sign, Chen Ge used his Yin pupil to hold on to the wall and entered the middle area.
The air in the passage became turbid, and there was a strong strange smell. Chen Ge pricked his nose, but he couldn't tell where the smell came from. It felt like the smell was everywhere, on the walls, floor tiles, and ceiling. The smell had permeated the entire building.
"The middle level area is a restricted area in the school. Even the security guards and school staff dare not enter. What are these two outsiders doing here?"
Chen Ge really couldn't understand why the other party seemed to be more enthusiastic about "adventure" than he was.
Covering his mouth and nose, Chen Ge slowed down. He stared at the white cat in front of him, making sure that the white cat was always in his sight.
After running a few meters away, the white cat lay down, as if it had seen a mouse and entered hunting mode.
It was the first time that Chen Ge saw the white cat look so serious. He quietly approached and squatted down.
After a while, the stench in the air became stronger, and the white cat began to move forward.
The passage was becoming increasingly dilapidated, with large chunks of white paint falling off, revealing the gray-brown wall behind it.
After walking a few meters further, Chen Ge heard the voices of Li Xu and Brother Wei coming from a room in front. The thing that attracted the white cat seemed to be hidden in that room.
Chen Ge was worried that the white cat would act impulsively, so he picked it up and threw it on his backpack. He walked to the door and stuck his head inside.
The room was much larger than Chen Ge had expected. There was a rectangular pool inside. Brother Wei was standing in the pool, while Li Xu was standing on the edge of the pool.
"Every time they accumulate a huge amount of it, just waiting for us to deal with it. Do you really think we are not human?"
Li Xu dry-heaved twice. He had seen many corpses, but every time he saw these things, he couldn't control himself.
A pungent smell gushed out of the pool, making Li Xu cry.
"I told you to wait outside but you didn't listen and came in on your own. Who can you blame?" Brother Wei, wearing a mask, poured the contents of the bucket into the pool. "Be content. According to the agreement we signed with the school, these things should be taken back to our crematorium for incineration. Now that we have a place to dispose of them in advance, it has saved us a lot of trouble."
"That's right." Li Xu's face turned pale. He looked at the things dumped into the pool and still felt sick. "How do those medical students endure this? These were all taken from human bodies. I shudder just thinking about it."
The two talked a lot more, and Chen Ge heard it all clearly at the door. He finally figured out the identities of the two people and the purpose of their coming in.
Li Xu and Wei Ge are both workers at a crematorium. The corpses used in medical students' anatomy classes are handed over to them for cremation.
Normally, a label is left on each body. After cremation, the ashes will be returned to the family or buried directly in the cemetery.
They didn't dare to do anything reckless about this, but there were not only dissected corpses in the autopsy room, but also many dissected remains.
Those things were extremely difficult to deal with and would take the entire night. Li Xu and Brother Wei found it troublesome, so they decided to secretly dump those things deep into the sealed underground corpse storage.
It seemed like they had done this before and had never been discovered.
