Chapter 424 - Staff? (1/2)

The sound of mud flopping on the ground approached. Chen Ge leaned against the wall next to the door and raised the hammer in his hands. There was a flash of light in the dark, and then a white shadow walked out from the corridor painted white. The man was wearing a white coat and a thick mask. There was a flashlight squeezed under his armpit, and both of his arms were carrying two large red-colored buckets.

He moved very fast, and the content of the buckets, which looked sticky, kept getting splashed out from the bucket. As he walked near, the pungent smell hit Chen Ge. It was more than pure formalin; there was a worse stench mixed within. That… looks like a living human.

Chen Ge did not put down the hammer and kept his eyes trained on the man.

University staff? But why would he come down to the underground morgue at 10 pm?

The man’s coat was too small for his muscular frame. He was clearly powerful—even though he was carrying two large buckets, he was moving quite fast.

What is the man doing? Why is he going deeper into the underground morgue?

The man was suspicious. He looked like a member of staff, but the thing that he was doing and his time of appearance confused Chen Ge. Chen Ge thought about it and gave up on speculating. He knew too little and decided to approach this in the most direct way. If he enters this room, I’ll have a talk with him, but if he doesn’t, I’ll trail behind him and temporarily not spook him.

Perhaps due to his personality, Chen Ge rarely forced others—he gave the man a choice so that way, even if he accidentally injured the man, he would feel better. Gripping the hammer, Chen Ge held his breath. The footsteps neared, and the content of the buckets kept splashing out. The man frowned like he was not in a good mood. He continued walking ahead. When he walked past the medium-sized morgue that Chen Ge was in, he looked toward it and realized that the door had been pushed open.

“Didn’t I close this door earlier? Who opened this? Is Li Jiu also in here?” The deep male voice drifted out from behind the mask. He stopped to look around and cursed. The man was in a bad mood. He put down the buckets, and the hands that were covered by plastic gloves headed for the doorknob. Just as his fingers were about to grab the doorknob, another man’s voice came from the other end of the corridor.

“Brother Wei! Are you done yet? Why are you taking so long today?” A man who was thin and short, with tanned skin ran out holding a flashlight.

“There was a bit too much that needed cleaning today.” The man who was called Brother Wei did not enter the room. He pulled his hands back and turned to look at the skinny man with a frown. “Why are you here? Didn’t I tell you to go distract the guards? If they walk in here and see us, this will be so hard to explain.”

“Don’t you worry about that. Those guards are as cowardly as mice; they will never come in here.” Li Jiu looked into the medium-sized morgue. When he noticed that nothing was out of place, he turned his head back. He lowered his voice and moved to Brother Wei. “In any case, we’d better not finish this as fast as we can. When the guards were chatting, I overheard some things.”

“What did they say?”

“This morgue is haunted,” Li Jiu said in a creepy voice.

“Haunted? You believe in something like that?” Brother Wei placed the red bucket before Li Jiu. “Stop wasting time. Since you’re here, help me with these things. They look so disgusting.”
