GOR Chapter 144 Part 1: Terrifying Wax Figures
The washroom was supposed to occupy a very large area.
However, after entering the washroom, Chen Xiaolian felt as though he had just stepped into a nightmare!
…
Within the room, its floor, walls and even the ceiling… all of it was densely stacked full with…
Corpses!
That was right, corpses!
The corpses were varied. There were those staff members wearing work clothes, researchers wearing lab coats, security personnel wearing security uniform as well as cleaning staff…
A cursory glance told him that there were at least twenty corpses stored inside the washroom!
But, that scene was not the most horrifying part. The most horrifying part was…
There were no bloodstains at all on the floor!
All the various corpses stored within the washroom were covered in a thick layer of transparent… wax shell?
Yes, the corpses appeared to have been bound by a thick layer of transparent wax!
It was as though something had wrapped up these corpses with wax. Then, after the corpses were carefully preserved, it was all… stored here!
Looking around, Chen Xiaolian saw that in the corner of the washroom, a corpse was hanging down from the ceiling. The layer of wax shell wrapping the corpse had yet to fully harden and viscous liquid dripped down the ground.
The other end of the corpse was glued to the ceiling with the viscous liquid! The corpse that was hung using the viscous liquid swayed. However, the viscous liquid holding the corpse remained firm and the corpse did not fall.
All the corpses showed different states of death. Some had their bodies torn to pieces, some had their heads torn off, and some were missing half their body…
Due to the thick layer of viscous liquid and wax shell covering the corpses, the room was almost devoid of the scent of blood.
That was extremely peculiar! The smell of the wax present in the room was extremely fishy and the scent of blood could not be sensed at all. However, the pungent smell of the wax nearly caused Chen Xiaolian to run out the door.
Chen Xiaolian covered his nose and mouth tightly. However, he was unable to stop the strong fishy wax smell from assailing his nose.
“Bloody Hell!” Chen Xiaolian continued covering his nose. “The smell here is simply the stuff of nightmares! Roddy!”
“What did you see? I cannot see anything here!” Roddy smiled bitterly. “There are no surveillance cameras in the washroom. What is inside?”
Chen Xiaolian shook his head. “It is best if you don’t see it! This stuff will cause people to suffer from nightmares for a whole month.”
Chen Xiaolian moved to the closest wax shell and rapped it gently with his hand. It was both hard and brittle. Chen Xiaolian’s heart suddenly gave a pound as he abruptly thought of something!
“Lair!”
He suddenly raised his head and carefully examined the arrangements within the washroom.
Lair!
That is right, this must be a lair!
The nature of animals propels them to create lairs!
This place is the washroom. What does the washroom have in abundance?
There are plenty of water here, making this place extremely moist!
For the monster to reserve so many corpses here – clearly, these corpses are not for it to finish eating in one go. Instead…
Reserve food?
Or are those corpses meant to serve any other purpose?
“Xiaolian, stop wasting time. Just hurry up and find the memory card!” Roddy’s voice from the walkie-talkie reminded Chen Xiaolian.
Chen Xiaolian stopped thinking about it and quickly ran into each of the washroom’s cubicles. All of them had been smashed and corpses covered with wax shells filled the cubicles. Chen Xiaolian found the item that Takeuchi Yoko hid in the toilet tank of the innermost cubicle.
It was a small, sealed metal box, roughly the size of a cigarette box. It was sealed to ensure that the box would be waterproof. After taking it out, Chen Xiaolian opened it and examined its contents. As expected, there was a memory card stored inside.
“Roddy, I got it!” Chen Xiaolian quickly spoke into the walkie-talkie. “We need a card reader! Do you have one there?”
“I do!” Roddy answered in an elated tone of voice. “There is a card reader in the control room. I will remove it and take it with me.”
“All right. Now, we will move back to the control room. You are responsible for giving directions,” Chen Xiaolian said hastily. “Then, we will meet up in the control room.”
“Wait!” Roddy’s sound from the walkie-talkie was suddenly raised. “Something is not right! Xiaolian!”
“What is it?”
“Zzzt… zzzt… corridor… zzzt… zzzt… camera…”
“What?”
“Zzzt, zzzt… camera… toward… zzzt… moving!Zzzt zzzt…”
Damn it! Chen Xiaolian cursed out. He hung the walkie-talkie on his shoulder, retrieved Bone Crusher Axe and rushed out from the washroom.
Garfield followed right beside him. When they reached the corridor, Chen Xiaolian inspected both left and right.
From the far end of the corridor, a few light bulbs burst out. Clearly, those bulbs were destroyed due to shorting circuits.
“Let’s go, Garfield!”
Chen Xiaolian turned around and led Garfield with him as he ran back toward the office.
…
“Damn it!”
