The trial mission required Chen Ge to enter the core area of the underground corpse storage before dawn and survive until dawn.
It was only eleven o'clock in the evening when he came out of the secret passage, and he had plenty of time to prepare.
"Tell me, what kind of monsters did you two encounter outside?" Chen Ge stood next to the secret passage, always paying attention to the situation inside.
"There was a girl holding an apple, and many corpses that appeared out of nowhere. Their bodies had been stitched together, and all the stitches were red."
"Red thread? Did you see it wrong?" It was the first time that Chen Ge heard that the bodies in the morgue would have their wounds sutured with red thread.
"They are indeed red, but they are thinner than the threads we use in real life, and they move on their own."
Li Xu's description reminded Chen Ge of the bloodshot from the Ghost Story Association: "Besides these, have you encountered anything else? For example, monsters that can crawl on the wall like a gecko, or corpses that bounce on the ground like fish?"
"No." Li Xu and Ma Wei shook their heads. They really didn't know that there were so many strange monsters in the underground corpse storage. It felt like an underground world isolated from the outside world.
"It seems that you have only provoked a small part of them."
This is the largest underground corpse storage in Jiujiang and even in central and southern China. It also took the longest time to build. Even the Ghost Story Association probably can’t tell how many monsters are accumulated in it.
"Brother, what should we do now?" Ma Wei and Li Xu both turned their eyes to Chen Ge.
"You should be thankful that you met me, otherwise it would be hard for you to get out alive today." Chen Ge looked down at the clock on his phone: "It's just a minor fight now. After midnight, this scene will show its true horror!"
"Zero o'clock?"
"Yes, after midnight, all the monsters in this scene will wake up, and it will be a carnival for them." Chen Ge's voice was squeezed out from between his teeth. He glared at Li Xu and Ma Wei fiercely: "I was planning to come in for a look and then leave before midnight. Now, you two have attracted the monsters and cut off the only way out! Because of you two, I am also in a desperate situation and can only wait until dawn in this damn place!"
Li Xu and Ma Wei showed a trace of guilt and apology on their faces: "Brother, we didn't have time to think about the situation at that time. Who could have thought that this would happen?"
They lowered their heads, not daring to speak too loudly, and apologized to Chen Ge sincerely.
"Forget it. I don't want to argue with you. Being trapped here has become an unchangeable fact. All we can do now is to find a way out." Chen Ge looked calm. He always gave people a sense of reliability. "The monsters will go into hibernation during the day and will only come out at night, so we have to do everything we can to hold on until dawn."
"Until dawn? Just the three of us?"
"Never give up hope. As long as you are not going to die immediately, try your best to survive." Standing in the room covered with blood-red "moss", Chen Ge turned and walked inside.
Looking at his back, Li Xu and Ma Wei suddenly felt that the person in front of them was gradually becoming taller.
Li Xu and Ma Wei were unexpected helpers for Chen Ge, and Chen Ge did not have high expectations for them. He was thinking in his mind how to maximize the role of these two cremators.
When there is nothing to do, you can ask them to help, and at critical moments, you can ask them to explore the way. If you are really chased by monsters and have nowhere to run, you can ask them to delay for a while and buy time for yourself to call Zhang Ya. "Wait for us!" Li Xu ran behind Chen Ge and whispered to Chen Ge, "Brother, we will do whatever you ask us to do tonight. We will never have the same situation as before. You can rest assured about this."
"Although we don't have much skills, we are strong enough. We will definitely survive tonight." Ma Wei also came over, his clothes were soaked and stained with those gunks.
The two cremators came over on their own initiative. This was also within Chen Ge's expectations. They had no choice.
"Let's take a look around here first."
Chen Ge had not yet finished exploring the middle area of the underground corpse storage. He went directly into the core area through the secret passage.
This area was covered with bloody "moss" and was made entirely of corpses. Not long after walking out, Chen Ge saw a second secret passage hidden in the "moss" on the wall. If he didn't have Yin Pupils, he would not have been able to find it.
Chen Ge silently noted down the location of the secret passage without making a sound. He followed the white cat and continued forward. He discovered a total of three secret passages, which was exactly the same number as the corpse pools in the middle area.
"Each secret passage corresponds to a morgue?"
The three secret passages are in three different directions, surrounding the core area in the center.
After following the white cat for a long time, Chen Ge finally had a general understanding of the core area of the underground corpse storage.
There are so many corpses piled up in this place that it is no longer possible to tell what it was originally used for. The passage extends inward in a spiral shape, and at the end of the road is an iron gate.
It looked like an ordinary door, but what surprised Chen Ge was that the blood-red "moss" covered almost everything in the core area, except for this ordinary-looking iron door, which had no "moss".
It was very quiet. Even though it had been placed in a dark and damp underground for a long time, there was not a single trace of rust on the door.
"Stay outside and don't come in."
Chen Ge picked up the white cat lying under the iron gate, shook the door lock, and gently opened the door.
The room was very clean and filled with various medical equipment, most of which Chen Ge couldn't name. He had only seen similar things in hospitals.
"These seem to be used for first aid."
The equipment was covered in dust, and there were a lot of cut wires behind the instruments, which showed that no one had used them for a long time.
In the middle of those instruments was a modified operating table, high on all sides and low in the middle, with the grooves filled with fragrant liquid.
"Someone is collecting those ** specifically." Chen Ge stood next to the operating table. In fact, he was a little curious about those **. He just touched some of them and his body temperature began to rise. If the number was large enough, it might be able to offset the negative impact brought to him by the evil spirit.
"With such a refreshing fragrance, who would have thought it came from a corpse?"
Chen Ge was sighing when the white cat suddenly cried out and ran to the back of the room, scratching at the door leading to the next room.
The thing that attracted the white cat was somewhere else. Chen Ge walked over and pushed open the second door. The area of this room was only half of the outside one. The walls were covered with photos of victims, each representing a murder.
Chen Ge casually peeled off a photo and took a look. The person in the photo looked to be in his forties and should have died of drowning. There were a few words written under the photo.
"Wednesday, Patient 41."
"Diagnosis: Claustrophobia and fear of deep waters."
"Treatment plan: Patient No. 41 was abused by his stepfather in childhood and was pushed into the sink many times, which left a psychological trauma. It is not difficult to untie this knot. I suggest doing the same thing to his father and let him drown the fear in his heart and the memory he has been avoiding with his own hands!"
