Chapter 0426 – Water Pool
Brother Wei lifted the two large buckets on the ground and stepped towards the depths of the passage. Li Xu was left alone where he was, he was holding a flashlight and couldn’t control his desire to shine it inside the corpse pool, he knew in his heart that there was a corpse with open eyes looking at him in the darkness.
”It’s better to close the door, out of sight, out of mind.”
Li Xu closed the door of the storehouse, he looked around, Wei had already gone away, he was a bit panicked staying alone in the long corridor.
Looking back, there seemed to be some kind of monsters hidden where the light couldn’t reach, he always felt that someone was hiding there at the corner of the passage.
He wanted to go and see, but didn’t dare.
After struggling for a long time, he felt that it was safer to stay with Wei.
”This place is too evil, two people together can at least take care of each other.”
Holding a flashlight, Li Xu took one step and turned back three times, afraid that something would suddenly drill out behind him.
”Hopefully, I’m too sensitive.”
Waiting for Li Xu to walk away, a hideous giant hammer with an open blood groove was revealed from the corner, Chen Ge cocked his head and stared at the two people in the depths of the passageway, a hint of suspicion in his pupils, “Did that guy just find me?”
He walked out from the corner and stopped at the door of the warehouse, “All the photos that Tension gave me don’t have any introduction about this corpse warehouse, could it be that this warehouse is the nonexistent Warehouse 8 among the legends?”
Chen Ge pushed open the iron door and looked inside, other than the few glass containers that were soaked with a large body of teachers, there was nothing strange about it.
”The deceased is very peaceful, they should have voluntarily donated their remains, and this house doesn’t feel the slightest bit of resentment, how do I look at it, it’s not quite the same as the rumored Corpse Warehouse No. 8.”
Chen Ge was extremely experienced in dealing with haunted houses, and after he took a general look at it, his mind became even more puzzled, the situation of this underground corpse vault might be even more complicated than he had imagined.
”Just now, I think I heard those two people say something about handprints, something ran out ……” Chen Ge was just about to enter the house when 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 passageway, Chen Ge didn’t want to expose himself, he didn’t say anything, temporarily evacuated the eighth corpse warehouse, and followed closely behind the white cat.
After swallowing the blood threads of the Weird Talk Association, the white cat’s body seemed to have grown a little bigger and its movements were more sensitive, it was very fast and in the blink of an eye, it had already scurried out a few meters away.
”What is attracting it?”
Chen Ge knew the white cat very well, and every time he went out to do trial missions together, the white cat would lie dead by his side. The cat used to have a lot of guts, but its comfortable life had made it lose its wildness, and most of the time, it acted very wimpy. So it would not actively leave Chen Ge until it was absolutely necessary.
In order to prevent the white cat from running away, Chen Ge also accelerated his speed, and the one person and one cat came to the end of the passage.
It seemed that this place had been sealed with bricks, but then I didn’t know what had happened that caused the brick wall to be pushed down.
There were all sorts of debris piled up in the center of the road, and there was a road sign across the forefront with a sentence – Aged and in disrepair, danger of collapse, strictly prohibited entry!
The kind of sticky liquid could be vaguely seen on the stone tiles next to the sign, and that’s what Li Xu and Wei ran into.
”The outer area is the latest expansion with seven storage rooms, further in, that can be the middle area.”
Jiujiang Medical University was constructed decades ago, and was the earliest medical school in Jiujiang, and the middle area of the underground corpse vault had preserved the scene of that time intact.
At that time, the corpses used for preservation were mortuary pools, large pools filled with formalin, and pools full of corpses acquired by the hospital through various channels. When students needed to do experiments, they would be led by a teacher, enter the underground corpse storage and fish from the pool.
”The path to the core area should be hidden in the middle area.” Chen Ge put away his cell phone, most of the maps provided by Tension were for the outer area, very little about the middle area, as for the core area, there was no display there on the map at all.
Stepping over the wooden sign, Chen Ge, with the help of his Yin pupil, held onto the wall and entered the middle area.
The air in the passageway became muddy, wafting a thick strange odor, Chen Ge twitched his nose, he couldn’t tell exactly where this odor was emanating from, it felt like there was that odor in every direction, the walls, the floor tiles, the ceiling, that odor had permeated into the entire building.
”The middle floor area is a restricted area in the school, even the security guards and school staff don’t dare to go in, what are these two outsiders running in for?”
Chen Ge really couldn’t understand, the other party seemed to be even more enthusiastic about “adventure” than he was.
Covering his mouth and nose, Chen Ge slowed down his speed, staring at the white cat in front of him to ensure that it was always in his line of sight.
After running a few meters away, the white cat got down, as if it had seen a mouse, and entered a hunting state.
It was the first time Chen Ge had seen the white cat so serious, he quietly approached and squatted his body.
Not a moment later, the stench in the air became even stronger, and the white cat began to continue forward.
The passageway was getting more and more worn out, the white paint peeling off in large chunks, revealing the grayish-brown walls behind it.
A few more meters away, Chen Ge heard Li Xu and Wei’s voices coming from the middle of a room in front of him, and the thing that attracted the white cat seemed to be hidden in that room as well.
Worried about the white cat’s impulsiveness, Chen Ge picked it up and threw it on his backpack, walking to the door himself and poking his head inside.
The room was much larger than Chen Ge had expected, and there was a rectangular pool inside, with Wei standing inside the pool and Li Xu standing on the edge of it.
”Saving up a whole bunch every time, just waiting for us to dispose of it, do you really think we’re not human?”
Li Xu dry heaved twice, he had seen a lot of corpses but he still couldn’t control himself every time when he saw these things.
The pungent odor gushed out from the pool, smothering Li Xu with tears.
”I told you to wait outside and you didn’t listen, who do you blame for running in here yourself?” Brother Wei wore a mask and dumped the contents of the bucket into the pool, “Be content, according to the agreement we signed with the school, these things should be pulled back to our crematorium for incineration, now there is a place to dispose of them in advance, which has already saved us a lot of work.”
”That’s also right.” Li Xu’s face was pale, he looked at the things that were dumped in the pool, he still felt nauseous: “You said how those who studied medicine endured it, this can all be plucked from people, thinking about it makes me shiver all over.”
The two men said a lot more, Chen Ge listened at the door, he finally figured out the identity of these two men, and the purpose of coming in.
Li Xu and Wei were both workers at a certain crematorium, and the corpses that were used up in the anatomy classes of medical students would be handed over to them for cremation.
Normally every body has a label left on it, and after cremation, the ashes will be returned to the family or buried directly in the cemetery.
This point they do not dare to fool around, but there are not only dissected corpses in the autopsy room, there are also a lot of anatomical residues.
Those things are extremely difficult to deal with, need to spend the whole night, Li Xu and Wei brother, these two people are too much trouble, so they are ready to secretly pour those things into the sealed underground corpse warehouse deep.
This was something they seemed to have done before, and it had never been discovered.
