Chapter 0427 – It’s Hiding in the Hole
”Brother Wei, isn’t this hole about to fill up? Why do I feel that the speed of seeping downwards is a bit slow today.” Li Xu’s forcibly endured his discomfort and glanced towards the mortuary pool.
”It’s probably blocked down there.” Brother Wei carried a bucket of water, his brows were furrowed, a little annoyed, the more scared he was, the more he also happened to encounter strange things, “Go look outside, see if there are brooms, sticks and such things.”
”Brother, this is a corpse vault, where do you want me to find a broom for you?”
”Half of this stuff can’t go down, how can I deliver if someone sees it? The school authority will pursue the responsibility, the fine is secondary, the job will definitely not be kept, medical schools like theirs take cadavers for dissection very seriously.” Brother Wei was in a bad mood, he shook his hands and got rid of those residues stained on his plastic gloves, “Don’t just stand there, hurry up!”
Wearing a white coat, wearing a mask and plastic gloves, but Wei’s shoes were just very ordinary sneakers, he looked down and always felt that his shoes seemed to be wet with something, it was very uncomfortable to wear them.
Li Xu had no choice but to look for tools, he took a flashlight around the room and walked to the corner next to a wooden cabinet where tools were stored.
Opening the cabinet door, inside were several rusty, large iron hooks with long chains.
”What is this for?” Li Xu didn’t want to go out alone, he dragged out that iron hook, “Brother Wei, why don’t we try with this?”
Brother Wei didn’t want to delay, he took the iron hook from Li Xu and took a look at it.
The hook was large and the tip wasn’t very sharp, the only feature was that it was relatively heavy, this would probably sink immediately if thrown into the pool.
”Make do.”
There was a hole in the center of the mortuary pool that was slightly wider than a normal person’s shoulder, and it was unknown what it was for.
Wei put the iron hook into the hole and watched as it slowly sank, and soon the iron hook was submerged by all that debris inside the hole.
He stood to the side and grabbed the chain and lowered it down a little.
”How come it’s not at the end yet?” The hole within this mortuary pool was much deeper than he had imagined, “Who would dig such a deep hole at the bottom of a mortuary pool? Could it be a corpse?”
If he were outside, Wei would probably be amused by this thought of his. But the point was, he was the one standing in the middle of the mortuary pool right now.
”Just how deep is this hole?” He hadn’t really thought about this when he had only thought about saving time the previous times he had been here.
In order for the chain to stretch down as far as possible, Wei crouched down.
With a quarter of that chain left, the iron hook finally hit something.
Wei grabbed the chain with both hands and he lifted it upward, somewhat surprised to find that it was stuck and couldn’t be pulled up.
”It was sinking but there was no obstruction at all, could it be that it was hooked to something? Is that the thing blocking the hole?”
The force in his hand kept increasing, Wei didn’t dare to say anything else, in terms of strength he was one of the best in the entire crematorium.
Wei pulled upward with all his might, the chain slowly went upward, it felt as if the end of the iron hook had hooked something, it was particularly heavy.
The scene in front of him was somewhat similar to fishing, except what could be caught in a mortuary pool, Wei hadn’t really thought about that before he arrived.
Most of his face was suffocated in red, and through the thick mask, his gasps could be heard.
The chains were being pulled out a little bit, and there were all sorts of residue on the chains, it was mind numbing to look at.
”Come and help!”
Wei Angola was halfway there when he suddenly felt something was wrong.
The thing hooked on the end of the chain before was heavy, but at least it was slowly moving upwards, but pulling he found another force coming from the other side of the chain, as if something was hiding in the hole in the ground filled with anatomical residue and formalin, and then wanted to drag him in as well!
”Brother, I don’t have any gloves!” Li Xu’s legs were weak as he looked at the chain that was pulled out of the residue.
Wei clenched his teeth and leaned back, using his body weight to stop the chain from going down.
He was using all his strength, and there was no time to think about anything more.
”I still don’t believe it.” With his legs stomping on the ground, Wei slowly moved backwards as he dragged that chain out a little bit.
Bubbles began to appear on the water in the hole in the ground that was floating with all sorts of impurities, and as he saw that the chain was about to be dragged out, the force in the hole in the ground became bigger again, as if that was when the other party began to get serious.
The chains were taut and straight, and after about a second or two, that force in the hole in the ground suddenly surged, and caught off guard, Wei’s body was taken directly to the other side of the hole in the ground.
His feet slipped and he fell to the ground, planting himself in the direction where the hole in the ground was!
”Ma Wei!” Li Xu jumped into the pool in one go and grabbed Wei’s coat at the last minute.
With his face almost pressed against those suspended objects, the pungent odor made Ma Wei a bit unable to open his eyes as the chains slid by him at a rapid pace, being dragged by that force directly into the middle of the hole in the ground.
The surface of the water was yellowish-brown and very turbid, and Mawei could vaguely see a dark shadow sinking down in the hole in the ground.
”What was that?” Cold sweat on his forehead slid down his cheeks and dripped into the middle of the hole in the ground, and Ma Wei simply couldn’t imagine what would happen to him if he fell headfirst into these anatomical remnants.
Propping his hands on the edge of the hole in the ground, Marvel sat paralyzed, his face pale.
”You didn’t touch those things, did you?” Li Xu was a little unsure, he couldn’t stand just looking at that hole in the ground, let alone having his face pressed against it, up close and personal.
”No.” It took Ma Wei a while to get over it, he stared at the hole in the ground, the more he looked at it, the more he felt} human: “Li Xu, have you heard of any fish that can live in chemicals?”
”I know catfish can live for a long time in the sewers, their vitality is very tenacious, but these chemicals can be used to soak corpses, that’s for the dead, it’s useless even if their vitality is tenacious!” Li Xu was also scared just now, if Ma Wei really fell head over heels, then he would probably have to change his partner in the future.
”If it’s not a fish, then what could it be?” Ma Wei looked at the still bubbling hole in the ground, his voice trembled softly, “When I was pulling the chain upwards just now, I could clearly feel something hooked underneath, only that thing seemed to be in a deep slumber in the beginning, and was only woken up by me later.”
Ma Wei’s heart palpitated as he looked at his hands, “That thing has a lot of strength, at least twice as much as me, I was easily yanked away by the other side even with the advantage of my weight.”
”Living in the depths of a hole in the ground full of anatomical residue and formalin, the strength is twice as strong as that of a normal person ……” Li Xu didn’t dare to continue to think about it, “Brother Wei, we’d better hurry up and leave! If the job is gone, it’s gone, the little life is important!”
Ma Wei nodded, he was also not willing to continue to stay here, “Pull me.”
He grabbed Li Xu’s hand and wanted to stand up, but after trying he realized that he couldn’t use his legs at all.
Looking down, Ma Wei then realized that his shoes were soaked through at some point, as if those things in the bucket had splashed down on them.
