The Trial Mission required Chen Ge to enter the central hub of the underground morgue before midnight and survive until down. When he exited the corridor, it was about 11 pm, so there was still enough time to prepare.

“Tell me, what kind of monsters did you run into outside?” Chen Ge stood beside the tunnel to pay attention to things that were happening to it.

“There was a girl who held an apple and many dead bodies that came from who knows where—their bodies were sewn together, and the thread that held them together was all red in color.”

“Red threads? Are you sure you’re not mistaken?” This was the first time that Chen Ge had heard people using red threads to sew up the injuries on a dead body.

“The thread was definitely red in color, but it was thinner than the thread we use in daily life. Also, it can move on its own.” Li Jiu’s description reminded Chen Ge of the blood vessels used by the society.

“Other than that, did you run into other monsters? Like monsters that climb on the wall like a lizard or dead bodies that bounce on the ground like fish?”

“Not really.” Li Jiu and Ma Wei shook their heads. They really did not know there were so many creepy monsters down in the underground morgue; this place felt like hell, isolated from the human world.

“Looks like you’ve only run into a small part of them.” This was the largest underground morgue in Jiujiang, and it was also the oldest. Perhaps even the ghost stories society did not know how many monsters were collected there.

“Brother, what shall we do now?” Ma Wei and Li Jiu focused their eyes on Chen Ge.

“You should consider yourself lucky that you ran into me, or else you probably would not leave this place alive.” Chen Ge lowered his head to look at the clock on his phone. “Things are just waking up now. The real terror will show itself after midnight!”

“Midnight?”

“Yes, the monsters will all wake up after midnight. It’s a party for the dead.” Chen Ge’s voice escaped between his teeth. He glared at Ma Wei and Li Jiu. “My plan was to come in to look around and leave before midnight, but now that you have attracted the monsters, we’re trapped because the exit has been blocked! Because of you two, I’m also trapped here and have to stay here until dawn!”

Li Jiu and Ma Wei’s faces were immediately wrought with guilt and apology. “Brother, we didn’t have the luxury to think at the time. Who would have thought that something like this could happen?”

They lowered their heads and apologized sincerely to Chen Ge.

“Never mind, it’s too late to do anything now. It has become an undeniable truth that we’re trapped here. The only thing that we can do now is try to figure out how to survive.” Chen Ge was calm, and in a moment like that, he was like a safe harbor. “The monsters will hibernate in the morning, and they only move around at night. Therefore, we need to figure out a way to survive until dawn.”

“Until dawn? With just the three of us?”
