“Can you stand up?” Li Jiu took a long time before he helped Ma Wei up. Ma Wei stomped his feet on the ground, but he did not feel any better. He felt like the parts below his calves were slowly losing their senses.

“The thing in the bucket is probably poisonous. It must’ve reacted with the other chemicals in the water.” Ma Wei had dropped out after high school, so he was not familiar with these things. He only knew that he needed to get to the hospital as soon as possible. “Li Jiu, your hands touched those things as well, right? Are they getting better?”

Li Jiu raised his palms. The red dots were spreading to form a rash, and it looked scary. “Some splashed on me, and it’s becoming like this. Your whole shoes were soaked, so it must be worse for you. We need to leave this place fast.”

Abandoning the two buckets, Li Jiu carried Ma Wei as they headed out from the pool. Before they could do so, the hole behind them gurgled like something was crawling out from it. At the same time, the tools closet placed in the corner of the room started to shake like there was someone coming out from inside.

“What’s going on?” Li Jiu was panicking. He jumped out of the pool and grabbed Ma Wei’s shoulders. “Quick! Those monsters are coming!”

He grabbed Ma Wei by both hands and yanked him out of the pool. The weird noises in the room grew, and the monster inside the hole started to crawl faster. The closet door burst open, and the rusted hooks fell to the ground.

After Ma Wei got out from the pool, the only thought they had was to run. The two stumbled to the door. The flashlight flickered, making the underground morgue scarier. The two were focused on escaping. When they reached the door, a man’s face suddenly turned from the corner!

“What the f*ck!” Li Jiu was walking ahead, but he was not that brave. Under the light from the flashlight, the man’s face looked paler than it was. The pair of eyes focused on them, and it felt like their bodies had frozen under his gaze. The face had appeared so suddenly that Li Jiu’s heart almost jumped out from his chest. He staggered back several steps to knock into Ma Wei, who was behind him. His legs having lost all feeling, Ma Wei had trouble even walking. The sudden collision with Li Jiu made him lose his footing. The two rolled and collapsed to the ground, their voices echoing in the underground morgue.

“I saw it!

“There was a face at the door!

“The thing’s outside!”

Their whole focus was on the hole in the cadaver pool and the closet at the corner, so they did not expect the real danger to come from the door. The only exit was blocked, and Li Jiu cried for help. Crawling on the ground, he clambered back into the room.

Ma Wei still had no idea what was happening. He was just scared by how Li Jiu was reacting. Not raising his head, he followed behind Li Jiu and crawled after the man. The room was only so big, and there was no place to hide. The two leaned against the innermost wall and saw despair in each other’s eyes.
