Chapter 103: Escape Room (I)
Seeing that they were hesitating, the clerk handed them the brochure and continued with the introduction.
"There are also castle themes and tomb themes you can check out, but they're currently occupied. You'll have to wait about an hour. Right now, only the hospital is empty."
"Let's go to the hospital." Su Qingyan said, holding Zhou Cheng's arm.
Compared to other things, it is safer to stay in the hospital. After all, he knows it better.
"Have you made up your mind? If you have, come with me over here and put on your eyepatch."
Zhou Cheng followed Su Qingyan's advice 100%. Yang Wuxi and Chu Fan had no objections. The four of them were led to a door by the clerk.
"Why do we have to wear this thing?" Su Qingyan asked in confusion, holding the eye mask distributed to him.
"Immersive experience." The clerk said as he handed two flashlights to Zhou Cheng and Yang Wuxi.
The four people put on blindfolds as required and lined up in a row, with the last person's hand on the shoulder of the person in front.
Zhou Cheng was in the first place. When Su Qingyan put her slightly cool hand on his shoulder, he could feel Su Qingyan's fingers trembling slightly with anxiety, so he patted her soothingly.
Chu Fan was ranked third, and Yang Wuxi, who was the tallest, was ranked last.
As they were led into the secret room, a mechanical electronic voice rang in their ears:
“Welcome to Hospital Shock.
This is a hospital located in the city center, but it is shrouded in layers of fog. You are determined to uncover the truth behind the hospital and choose to step into this unknown area on the day of the new moon.
You will travel through dimly lit medical record rooms, blood-stained operating tables, laboratories filled with unknown objects, and terrifying morgues. Every corner may hide a deadly trap, and every puzzle may lead you to deeper fear. You need to remain calm and face it all with wisdom and courage.
During your exploration, you may encounter ghostly figures, hear eerie voices, or even feel an inexplicable sense of oppression. But remember, only by facing them bravely can you find clues to the truth.
As you solve the final puzzle and uncover the secrets behind the hospital, you'll discover a shocking truth. But be careful, the truth is often more terrifying than you imagine.
Now, are you ready to step into this thriller and unknown area and uncover the truth behind the hospital?
Please take off the blindfold."
When Su Qingyan heard that he could take off the blindfold, he immediately reached out and pulled it off. For a moment, his eyes could not adapt to the dark environment around him.
At this time, two flashlights shone over, illuminating a small space.
After Su Qingyan saw the scene clearly, he felt that it would be better not to light up. He grasped Zhou Cheng's arm tightly with his fingers and wanted to hang on him.
This was a morgue, and the room was filled with an indescribable chill, as if every inch of air had frozen. The walls were mottled, giving people a sense of oppression.
In the center stood several cold, icy morgues covered with thick white cloth, creating a chilling atmosphere. In the surrounding corners lay some outdated medical equipment and instruments.
The cold wind blew from time to time, and the white cloth fluttered gently, as if the corpse was waking up in the darkness, ready to jump out of the morgue at any time and launch a terrifying attack on the intruder.
"How can there be a morgue right at the entrance of a hospital..." Su Qingyan muttered softly.
Yang Wuxi and Chu Fan quickly got into the state and began to look for clues.
When Su Qingyan saw Yang Wuxi lift the white cloth on the morgue without hesitation, he was so scared that he took a step back.
"So reckless?"
"It's okay, they're all fake." Zhou Cheng was also very calm and held Su Qingyan in his arms.
Zhou Cheng and Su Qingyan were studying the medical equipment in the corner.
"Hospitals no longer have morgues now. It doesn't make sense. These instruments won't appear in a morgue. It's too fake." Zhou Cheng said as he fiddled with the tattered color ultrasound machine that he had taken apart from somewhere.
"So this is where you're focusing your attention..." Su Qingyan huddled in Zhou Cheng's arms, not wanting to take any more looks.
"Have you ever played an escape room?" Zhou Cheng asked him with his head down.
"No, that's for kids."
"So we have to find some mechanism and get out of this room within the specified time, and then we'll be considered successful?" Zhou Cheng looked at Yang Wuxi and Chu Fan who were busy for a while, and said to himself.
"I really shouldn't have come...it would be more fun if we just went home and lay on the couch."
"Then let's get out quickly." Zhou Cheng gently touched the top of Su Qingyan's head with his lips.
"You two, we're not here to fall in love." Yang Wuxi walked over with a heart in his hand, his hands covered in red paint.
Su Qingyan was shocked again when he saw the bloody heart.
Yang Wuxi waved the flashlight at Su Qingyan, then said to Zhou Cheng, "The organs in each body are incomplete, but the missing organs are different. We haven't found any scattered internal organs elsewhere. I guess they should be taken out and pieced together to form a complete body and put it on the color Doppler ultrasound machine."
Su Qingyan forced himself to remain calm after hearing Yang Wuxi's description. This was too disgusting.
Chu Fan was wearing a pair of gloves and was digging out the internal organs from a corpse. When he saw them coming over to help, he handed the two kidneys in his hand to Yang Wuxi.
"Be careful not to get it on your clothes. I don't know if this paint is easy to wash out."
Su Qingyan took a few steps back, Zhou Cheng put on gloves and started working. They quickly emptied all three bodies.
"There's a human outline drawn on that machine. It's supposed to put these things in physiological order."
Zhou Cheng put a pair of lungs on it and sure enough, a light on the color ultrasound machine lit up.
This might be difficult for an average person, but for the three of them, it was a piece of cake. In less than a minute, all the organs were in their proper positions. The color Doppler ultrasound machine screen lit up.
A mechanical sound came from the screen.
"Congratulations on passing the first level.
The number of patients dying in hospitals has surged recently, and most of them are poor children in welfare homes and helpless elderly people in nursing homes.
You feel something is wrong, so one quiet night, you quietly come to the morgue, carefully check each body, and are surprised to find that the bodies are missing important organs.
To find the answer, you decided to go to the medical records room to take a look."
"Organ trafficking." Yang Wuxi summarized it succinctly.
"Let's go to the next room." Chu Fan pushed open the unlocked door without stopping.
"Why do they seem so skilled?" Su Qingyan muttered when he saw Yang Wuxi and the others looking well-trained.
"Let's play." Zhou Cheng took Su Qingyan and followed them to the next room.
