Chapter 0424 Staff?
The sound of rotting mud falling slowly approached, Chen Ge leaned sideways next to the door of the room and raised the skull crushing hammer in his hand.
There was a bright light in the darkness, followed by a white figure stepping out from the passage that was not painted white.
The man wore a white coat and a thick mask, a flashlight under his armpit, and carried two large red buckets in both hands.
He moved quickly, constantly spilling sticky stuff out of the buckets.
As he slowly approached, a pungent odor hit him.
It wasn’t just formalin, there was an even more disgusting odor mixed in.
”This …… seems to be a living person.”
Chen Ge didn’t put down the skull crushing hammer, his eyes staring intently at the other party, “A school staff member? But why is he running underground corpse storage at ten o’clock at night?”
The visitor was wearing an ill-fitting white coat, his body was robust and strong, wearing plastic gloves and carrying two large buckets still walking fast.
”What does this guy want? Why is he heading deeper into the corpse vault?”
The man in front of him was very suspicious, looking dressed like a school staff member, but the time he appeared and what he was doing made Chen Ge a bit puzzled.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Ge gave up thinking, he had too few clues in his hands and decided to use a more direct method to solve this matter.
”If he enters this house, then I’ll have a good talk with him, if he doesn’t come in, then I’ll follow him and hold off on spooking him.”
Possibly due to his personality, Chen Ge seldom went out of his way to force others, he gave the man a chance to choose, so that even if he was mistakenly injured, his heart would feel more or less better.
Gripping the hammer handle tightly, Chen Ge held his breath.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, the bucket spilled quite a bit more, and the man frowned, seemingly in a bad mood.
He kept walking forward with his head smothered, and as he passed the medium-sized corpse vault where Chen Ge was, he glanced to the side and realized that the door to the corpse vault had been pushed open.
”Wasn’t this door closed when I came out? Who opened it? Did Li Xu come in too?” A man’s voice came out from under the mask, he stopped where he was and looked around, cursing in a low voice.
The man was in a bad temper as he put the bucket down and reached his plastic gloved hand towards the corpse storage room door.
Just as his fingers touched the doorknob and he was about to enter, the voice of another man came from the fork in the road, that sidewalk.
”Wee Man! Is it done yet? What took you so long today?” A short, thin, very dark-skinned man ran in with a flashlight.
”There’s a bit too much to deal with today.” The man called Brother Wei didn’t enter the house, he withdrew his hand and looked at the dark and thin man suspiciously, “What are you doing in here? Didn’t I tell you to stabilize the security guards? If they come over later, our side won’t be able to explain.”
”Don’t worry, those few security guards are as timid as rats, they will never come over.” Li Xu looked towards the medium-sized corpse storage and withdrew his gaze after not finding any abnormalities, he lowered his voice and came next to Wei: “But then again, we better not stay here for too long. I overheard something when those guards were chatting today.”
”What did they say?”
”This underground corpse vault is haunted.” Li Xu said mysteriously to Wei.
”Haunted? You still believe in that?” Brother Wei lifted the red bucket and put it in front of Li Xu, “Cut the crap, since you came in, help me get rid of these things together, it’s disgusting to look at.”
Li Xu took a look at Wei’s disbelief and sped up his speech, “Not only the security guards, but also those students in the upper grades, they all know that the underground corpse vault is haunted. Brother Wei, think carefully, normally when we go to the medical school to help them dispose of the corpses, it’s all about them preparing them in advance, and we’ll just carry them directly to the car while the night is still young. But they, this school, would rather pay us a high price than go in and deal with it themselves, there’s definitely a problem here!”
”Just have money to make, what else is worse than being poor?” Brother Wei carried the red bucket towards the depths of the corridor, the bucket was too full because it was loaded, once the movement was too large, those sticky objects inside would spill out.
”I’m not wearing gloves!” Li Xu shouted, seeing Wei ignoring him, he had no choice but to lift the bucket in front of himself with both hands and chase after them.
Only when the two of them walked away did Chen Ge step out from behind the door, he took a look at the sticky liquid on the ground and couldn’t recognize what it was.
”It’s just as well to let them scout ahead, if they encounter danger, I can still take care of them.”
Chen Ge had just stepped out of the room, the white cat lying on the backpack suddenly purred, Chen Ge looked back and found that the head of the mannequin lying on the iron table had turned to the doorway, and the eyes that had originally been staring at the rotting apple were now staring straight at himself.
”The apple should herald life, the model looking at the apple represents that it craves life, now that this guy is staring at me, is it preparing to take over my body?”
If the white cat hadn’t reminded him, Chen Ge definitely wouldn’t have realized it.
”Being stared at in the back by a model, it’s kind of scary to think about.” Chen Ge didn’t hesitate at all, and directly walked over to the mannequin model, stared at it for a moment, then clasped his hands around the model’s head and twisted its head down.
”You want to see it, then I’ll let you see enough.” Chen Ge put the model’s head into his backpack and threw it in with the comic book and repeater.
The sound of footsteps in the passageway was already far away, Chen Ge was worried about losing those two people and didn’t stop at the medium-sized storage room, hurrying to chase after them.
The passageway painted in white looked a bit }human, Chen Ge passed a few more storerooms, the more he walked the more strange he felt in his heart, “Tension said that there are only a total of seven storerooms on the periphery of the Underground Corpse Warehouse, and if we go further we will have to enter the middle level area of the Underground Corpse Warehouse, which is a sealed off area that the school authorities strictly ordered the staff to enter.”
The temperature had already lowered to an abnormal level, as if the freezers in all the vaults had all been opened, and the walls and floor tiles were oozing coldness from the cracks.
The two people in front also realized that the situation wasn’t quite right, they slowed down their steps, and Chen Ge took this opportunity to close the distance with them.
Both sides were about a few meters away from each other, and Chen Ge hid in the corner, and with the help of his Yin pupils, he watched those two people.
”Brother Wei, it’s better for you to carry it, the contents of the bucket splashed onto my hands just now.” Li Xu put down the bucket and shone the flashlight to his hand, light red spots surfaced on his palm, just like being bitten by a bug, “It doesn’t feel much, but it looks quite scary.”
”You’ve got a lot on your mind, that’s all chemicals, go back and get some water and you’ll be fine.” Wei gave Li Xu his own flashlight to help light the way and lifted two large buckets himself.
