Chapter 0432 – Patient 41
The trial mission required Chen Ge to enter the core area of the underground corpse vault before dawn and survive until daybreak.
It was only eleven o’clock at night when he came out of the secret passage, so he still had plenty of time to make preparations.
”Tell me, what monsters did you two meet out there?” Chen Ge stood next to the secret passage, keeping an eye on the situation inside.
”There was a girl holding an apple, and a lot of corpses that also appeared out of nowhere, their bodies had been stitched up, and all the threads used for stitching were red.”
”Red thread? Could you be looking at it wrong?” It was the first time Chen Ge had heard that corpses in a corpse vault would use red thread to sew up their wounds.
”It’s indeed red, but it’s thinner than the threads we use in life, plus they move on their own.”
Li Xu’s description reminded Chen Ge of the Weird Tales Association’s blood threads, “Besides these, have you guys encountered anything else? For example, monsters like geckos that can crawl on walls at a fast speed, or corpses that bounce on the ground like fish?”
”No.” Li Xu and Ma Wei shook their heads, the two of them really didn’t know that there were so many weird monsters in the underground corpse vault, it felt like an underground world that was isolated from the outside world.
”It seems that the ones you guys have messed with are still only a small part of them.”
This was the largest underground corpse vault in Jiujiang and even Central and Southern China, and it had been built for the longest period of time, and it was estimated that even the Weird Tales Association couldn’t say how many monsters had accumulated inside.
”Brother, then what are we going to do now?” Ma Wei and Li Xu both turned their gazes to Chen Ge.
”You guys should be thankful that you met me, otherwise you’ll have a hard time getting out alive today.” Chen Ge glanced down at the watch on his cell phone, “It’s only a small fight now, wait until after zero hour before this scene shows its true terror!”
”Zero hour?”
”Yes, after zero hour all the monsters in this scene will awaken, it will be an orgy that belongs to them.” Chen Ge’s voice squeezed out from between his teeth as he glared fiercely at Li Xu and Ma Wei, “I was prepared to come in for a spin and then leave before zero hour, but now it’s good that you two have lured the monsters in and cut off the only back way! Just because of you two, I’m also in a desperate situation and can only stay here in this hellish place until dawn!”
A trace of guilt and apology appeared on Li Xu and Ma Wei’s faces, “Brother, we couldn’t think too hard in that situation at that time, who could have thought that this would happen?”
The two of them lowered their heads, not daring to be too loud, and apologized to Chen Ge very sincerely.
”Forget it, I’m too lazy to bother with you guys, being trapped here has become an unchangeable fact, all we can do now is to think of a way to break the situation.” Chen Ge looked calm, he gave people a feeling that they could rely on him no matter what: “During the day those monsters will go into a dormant state, they will only come out at night, so we have to do everything we can to hold on until dawn.”
”Until dawn? With just the three of us?”
”Don’t give up hope at any time, as long as you’re not going to die immediately, then try your best to survive.” Standing in the room covered with blood-red “moss”, Chen Ge turned around and walked towards the inside.
Looking at his back, Li Xu and Ma Wei suddenly felt that the image of this person in front of them gradually grew taller.
Li Xu and Ma Wei were unexpected helpers to Chen Ge, and Chen Ge didn’t demand much from them, as he pondered in his mind how to maximize the role of these two pyrochemicals.
They could let them make a start when there was nothing to do, they could also let them scout the path at critical moments, and if they were really chased by monsters and had no place to run, they could also let them stall for a while to buy time for themselves to call out to Zhang Ya. “Wait for us!” Li Xu ran behind Chen Ge and whispered to Chen Ge, “Brothers, tonight you let us both do whatever you want us to do, we’ll go and do whatever we want to do, definitely won’t be in the same situation as before, you can rest assured of that.”
”Although the two of us don’t have much skill, but we have enough strength, we will definitely survive tonight.” Ma Wei also walked over, his clothes were soaked and stained with those liquids.
The two pyrochemicals took the initiative to follow them over, which was also expected by Chen Ge, they had no choice.
”Let’s take a look around here first.”
Chen Ge hadn’t finished exploring the middle area of the underground corpse vault, so he directly entered the core area through the secret passage.
This area was wrapped in blood-colored “moss” and was completely made of corpses. Chen Ge didn’t go far before he saw a second secret passageway, which was hidden amongst the “moss” on the walls, so if he didn’t have Yin pupils, he really wouldn’t have been able to find it.
Chen Ge silently memorized the location of the secret passage without making a sound, he followed the white cat and continued to walk forward, and found a total of three secret passages, the number of which was exactly the same as the number of morgue pools in the middle level area.
”Each secret passage corresponds to a mortuary pool?”
The three secret passages were in three different directions, which just happened to enclose the core area in the center.
After following the white cat around for a long time, Chen Ge finally had a rough understanding of the core area of the underground corpse vault.
This place was piled up with too many corpses, what it was originally used for was no longer visible, the passageway extended inward in a spiral shape, and at the end of the road was an iron door.
It looked like a very ordinary door, but what made Chen Ge feel strange was that the blood-red “moss” covered almost everything in the core area, but only this extremely ordinary iron door had no “moss” on it.
It was very quiet, placed in the dark and damp underground for a long time, but there was not even a single rust stain on the door.
”You guys guard outside, don’t come in.”
Chen Ge carried the white cat lying under the iron door to the side, jiggled the door lock, and gently pulled the door open.
Inside the room was clean, and there were all kinds of medical equipment, most of which Chen Ge couldn’t name, he had only seen similar things in hospitals.
”These seem to be used for first aid.”
The equipment was covered in dust, and behind those instruments there was a large pile of cut wiring, so one could tell that these things hadn’t been used for a long time.
In the middle of those instruments was a modified operating table, high on all sides and low in the center, with grooves filled with that fragrant-smelling liquid.
”Someone is specializing in collecting that liquid.” Chen Ge stood next to the operating table, he was actually a bit curious about those liquids, he had just rubbed some of them and his body temperature started to rise back up, if there were enough of them, they might be able to counteract the negative effects brought to him by the Knight Ghost.
”Emitting such a clear fragrance, who would have thought that it was flowing out from a corpse?”
Chen Ge was sighing with emotion when the white cat suddenly purred as it ran deeper into the room, scratching at the door leading to the next room.
The thing that attracted the white cat was elsewhere, Chen Ge walked over and pushed open the second door, this room was only one-half the size of the one outside, the walls were plastered with photos of the victims, each one representing a murder.
Chen Ge casually uncovered a photo and looked at it, the person in the photo looked to be in his forties, he should have died from drowning, underneath the photo there were a few sentences written.
”Wednesday, patient number 41.”
”Diagnosis: claustrophobia, deep water phobia.”
”TREATMENT PROGRAM: Patient #41 was abused by her stepfather during her childhood and repeatedly pressed into the middle of the sink, which left a psychological shadow. It’s not hard to unravel this knot, I suggest doing the same thing to his father and letting him personally drown the fear in his heart and the memories he’s been avoiding!”
