Chapter 125 - Take Your Mannequins Away! (1/2)

Before doing the Trial Mission for the Third Sick Hall, perhaps I should place a stray cat inside Mu Yang High School scenario to test the theory. If it works, then it’ll be an additional way to deal with creatures from the other side. Even with this information alone, Chen Ge felt that his journey that day had been worth it. Glancing at the young man, he passed the rusted key to him. “Have you seen this key before?”

“I have.” The young man nodded. “Every sunrise, I would return to Room 303 to clean the animal carcasses, and there was this one time when I found this key in one of the items of clothing.”

“Did the man in dream mention anything related to this key? Like a special door or room?”

The young man thought about it before saying, “When they were talking to themselves this one time, I believe they mentioned something related to a key.”

“What was it?”

“One of the faces said that he had left something important behind in the third room and that the pathway hidden behind the cupboard wasn’t locked. They shouldn’t have left through the front door; that way, they wouldn’t have been exposed.” The young man had a vague recollection of the memory; after all, he had heard all this in his dream.

“The third room?” Chen Ge was reminded of the paper note left behind by his parents.

The third room in the third sick hall!

Could they have been talking about the same place? If they were, then this information is invaluable! The pathway behind the cupboard is not locked; this can be my escape route when necessary!

Chen Ge could not tell whether the young man was lying or not. He maintained the same expression while he memorized all the information. After asking a few more questions, making sure there was nothing else he could have known, Chen Ge exited Room 302 and returned to Room 304.

“How is Men Nan doing?”

“He’s asleep, but he’s running a fever. I’ll bring him to the hospital tomorrow and try to reach out to his family.” Doctor Gao sat beside the bed. “You’d better go and rest; I’ll stay here and look over him. I’ve placed the doll on the sofa. There are some bandages under the table, so remember to take care of your wounds.”

“Okay.” Chen Ge realized that Doctor Gao was a nice person who knew how to take care of others. He walked to the sofa and saw Xiaoxiao that was lying on her back with her stomach poking out like she was unable to move from eating too much.

“This little thing.” Chen Ge set the alarm for 7 o’clock. Hugging Xiaoxiao, he soon fell asleep. For some reason, he had a restless sleep that night. He kept repeating the same dream, and in the dream, he was trapped inside a maze-like building and was being chased by something. There was imminent danger. He held a key in his hands and tried it on all the doors, but none of them worked.

…

“Wake up.”

Chen Ge’s eyes flew open because someone was shaking him. He saw Doctor Gao standing beside the sofa holding a weak-looking Men Nan. Chen Ge looked out the window; the sun was coming up. It was about 6 am.

“Men Nan’s temperature is still running high; we need to take him to the hospital. This room feels weird, so I think we’d better leave together.” Doctor Gao had not slept, so his condition was not so good, and Men Nan was even worse; it seemed like he could collapse at any moment.
