Chapter 0378 – Someone’s been in here
”This is the last video my sister sent me before she disappeared, I’ve been searching for the room in the video, keeping an eye out for any clues about that room.”
”Kung Fu is not enough, when I was browsing the campus bar, I inadvertently found a post introducing the weird stories of Jiujiang Medical University, one of the weird stories is called the statue that sheds tears.”
”It’s rumored that as long as you find that statue after midnight, you can ask it to help verify the truth of a sentence, and if the sentence states the truth, it will shed tears of blood, and if it’s false, then something very scary will happen.”
Ma Ying found a screenshot of that post from her phone’s album, a picture was attached to the end of the post, coincidentally the statue on that picture was exactly the same as the one captured in Ma Ying’s sister’s video.
A Western-style statue of an adult male, slightly larger than life, with an ugly face, and a quote written on the base – Lies have an enviable veneer, but the truth is always ugly.
”I chatted privately with the poster to find out where he got that picture from, but he never got back to me.”
”I later contacted the man through my mentor, and he said that he casually snapped that photo in an abandoned warehouse, and at the time, he just thought that the sculpture went well with that weird talk, and uploaded it together.”
”Ever since the other departments of the Medical University moved to the new campus a few years ago, no one has gone in the warehouse, so if he’s telling the truth, then it’s safe to assume that the sculpture is still in the abandoned warehouse.”
Ma Ying and Liu Xianxian were good friends without words, she had a big personality and once she believed in someone, she would have no reservations.
”Let’s hope we can find it this time, I really want to know that answer.”
The two girls climbed over the guardrail and sneaked into the abandoned school building.
”It’s a little uncomfortable every time we come in, it always feels like there’s someone else in this building besides us.”
Because they were afraid that the light would attract the attention of the security guards, Ma Ying and Liu Xianxian didn’t turn on their cell phones to illuminate the building, they touched the walls and walked a little bit towards the end of the corridor.
”It’s quite a pity that this building is deserted, I don’t know why the school would rather leave it empty than rent it out.” Ma Ying muttered, she herself was very scared, but it was inconvenient to show it in front of Liu Xianxian, she seemed to be really treating Liu Xianxian as her best friend, and when exploring the road, she was also walking alone in front, protecting Liu Xianxian behind her.
The relatively petite Liu Xianxian followed behind Ma Ying, and after entering the teaching building, she also got nervous: “Xiao Ying, after we came to explore a few times before, I looked for seniors who have graduated for a few years to ask about the situation, and they said that there is another reason for this teaching building to be deserted, including a few other faculties moving to the new campus.”
”What’s the reason?” Ma Ying was tall and looked much stronger than the average girl, but that didn’t mean she was bold.
”It seems like it has something to do with the big body teacher, this teaching building was sealed off just because it’s too close to the experimental building.” Liu Xianxian looked out the window, a very strange scene appeared in the School of Forensic Medicine of Jiujiang Medical University at two in the morning.
If the entire campus was divided into four areas, southeast, northwest, and north, the east, north, and south directions were more or less brightly lit, and only the west side was pitch black.
”It is said that the biggest underground corpse vault in Jiujiang is just to the west of our school, not turning on the lights after zero hour is a tradition left a long time ago, and the teachers of the general body work very hard during the day and need to have a good rest at night, but do you believe this reason?” Liu Xianxian’s voice was strange, her face looked extra pale today.
”It is a bit strange.”
”There are many more strange things in this school, do you remember what the counselor said when we first joined the school? After zero o’clock absolutely can not enter the west campus alone, someone asked him the reason, he stammered is not to say, and then asked the seniors to know, a long time ago there are new students go out at night to surf the Internet, see someone waving at him, the result is that he ran into the west campus at night, in the laboratory to see a body specimen destroyed by people.”
The more Liu Xianxian said, the more ugly her face became, “There are a lot of similar things, I can’t figure out what’s real and what’s fake now.”
”Liu Xianxian, we’ve been searching for several nights, don’t give up at this point.” In Ma Ying’s opinion, Liu Xianxian was the only companion she had, if Liu Xianxian backed out, then if she wanted to search for sculptures related to her sister’s disappearance in the future, she would have to go alone.
”I know, it’s just that I suddenly feel silly for insisting so much.” Liu Xian took out her own cell phone, tempted to delete one of the contacts.
The two girls walked to the corner of the stairs and entered the basement level.
They made sure that no one was following them before they dared to turn on the flashlight that came with their cell phones.
”It feels like this place has gotten a lot colder.” The chilly wind blew through Ma Ying’s hair as she and Liu Xianxian huddled together, “There’s no vent in sight, so I really don’t know where the wind is blowing in from.”
As their shoulders touched together, Ma Ying suddenly realized that Liu Xianxian’s body was cold, as if it was frozen.
”Liu Xianxian? Why is your body so cold?”
”A little nervous.”
”Don’t be afraid, there’s still me, no matter what happens, I will definitely protect you.”
The two of them walked through the corridor on the first floor, and without entering the rooms on either side, they directly walked towards the second ground floor.
The stairs were left with stains and looked dirty, as if someone had dragged something along.
”It seems like someone came in before us.” Ma Ying looked at the water stains on the ground and smelled the odor left in the air, as a medical student, she was more than familiar with this odor, “It seems like formalin.”
”Formalin is strictly forbidden to be taken out of the lab, how could there be any here?” Liu Xiandu was well aware of the role of formalin, this stuff was used to preserve corpse specimens, “The teaching building is connected to the west area below, could someone have entered the underground corpse storage? In the earlier years, I heard that someone stole the big body teachers to sell them for money.”
”I don’t think so, even if he could get the body out of the underground corpse vault, but how would he transport it outside the school? The ground is full of surveillance.” Ma Ying reassured Liu Xianxian, “Don’t think too much, the underground corpse vault will hire people to maintain it on a regular basis, it should be left behind by them.”
”If it was them, they wouldn’t have entered from this side of the school building, they would definitely have to use the main entrance, I still think there’s a problem.” Although Liu Xianxian said there was a problem on her lips, her speed down the stairs was faster than Ma Ying’s.
She held onto the wall and came to the second basement level, raising her cell phone to take a picture.
There was a passageway on the left and right sides, with signs posted on the walls, the right side led to the general storage room, and the left side led to the underground corpse storage.
The water stains remaining on the ground were getting bigger and bigger, and it could be clearly seen that those water stains were all concentrated in the passage on the left.
”It seems like there really is someone who has entered the underground corpse vault.” Ma Ying looked at the dark channel on the left, lifted her cell phone and shone it in that direction.
