Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Third Box
But it didn't take long for the pungent fishy smell to dissipate, replaced by a somewhat choking smell of disinfectant water. www.biquge.info I thought I was hallucinating and rubbed my temples vigorously. Seeing this, Li Zhisheng thought I was unwell, so he asked in a low voice, "What's wrong, are you not feeling well?" I waved my hand at him and said, "It's okay, maybe it's just not resting." With that, I turned and walked towards the morgue.
By the flickering lights in the hallway, I could faintly see a large number of metal cabinets scattered around me. Each of those cabinets was at least two or three meters high and more than a dozen meters wide. In the middle are dozens of small compartments like drawers, half a meter square. There is also a white label on the handle of the compartment, which should be written with the name of the deceased.
"It doesn't look as easy to find as I thought." Thinking of this, I decided to split up, and I whispered to the two people behind me: "Those cabinets here should be used to park and freeze corpses, but there seem to be too many of them, let's look for them separately." ”
Due to the flickering light in the corridor, we are too weak to turn on the lighting. So I could only vaguely see Li Zhisheng nodding and walking to a cabinet on the left. Hu Fang was behind but didn't move, I thought she didn't hear me, so I came closer and said, "Let's look for it separately......
Before I could finish speaking, Hu Fang grabbed my cuffs at once, and she said in a somewhat trembling voice, "I... I seem to see a man, right over there...", she held out her hand and pointed to the corner on the right. Frightened by her move, I hurriedly turned my head to look to the right, but saw nothing but a few cabinets in the corners.
I was a little angry and said, "No one, don't be suspicious, you have to come with you, if you are afraid now, go back first!" I don't know if she felt that she was wrong, or if she heard that I was a little angry, and muttered reluctantly: "Okay, then you go to the right, and I'll go to the front to have a look." ”
As she spoke, she walked in front of me, and as she walked past me, I could still feel her body tremble slightly. Thinking that she was also here to help me, I was still angry at her, which is really a bit undeserved. But this was not the time to dwell on these things, so I walked over to a cabinet and began to look it up.
When I walked into the cabinet, I saw that the white label was the name of the deceased. As I looked at them one by one through the light, a name came into my eyes. "Wang Xian" I was overjoyed, and I forgot to inform Li Zhisheng and Hu Fang for a while, "It's really hard to find a place to step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there." Thinking of this, I grabbed the handle of the compartment and pulled it away with all my might.
But just as I pulled away, my mood fell to the bottom in an instant. This is not the Wang Xian we are looking for at all, it's just the same name. Something gnawed off a piece of the man's head, revealing the white bones and milky white brain.
At this moment, the light in the corridor suddenly flickered, and I clearly saw that the corpse in front of me, which had been dead for a long time, opened its eyes and was staring at me. Before I could react, the lights went out again. By the time the light reappeared, the corpse in front of him had long since disappeared.
In a hurry, I called Li Zhisheng and Hu Fang while taking a few steps backwards one after another, and my body trembled involuntarily because of fear. I had just taken a few steps back before I froze, and the same fishy smell that came through the door. And I could clearly feel the stench coming from behind me. This time, I was completely panicked, I thought that this time I was just here to get the box, but I never expected to be calculated again.
But just as I was at a loss, the disgusting stench disappeared again. I shook my head vigorously from the smell and looked at the compartment that had been opened, and what name it had been, it was an empty compartment that had not yet been used. And Hu Fang and Li Zhisheng had already heard the sound and rushed over, eagerly asking what was going on.
I didn't know how to explain it, so I said, "Maybe I'm looking at it wrong... Right? "Impossible, I saw the dead body open its eyes, but why... Could it be that what I saw was a ghost?! Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shudder again. Hu Fang heard me say this, and took the opportunity to laugh: "You were embarrassed to talk about me just now, you look at you as a big man, tsk tsk......"
Li Zhisheng was still as calm as ever, he said: "There is indeed something wrong with this place, but I can't say what's wrong, anyway, find something and leave here as soon as possible." With that, we started searching separately again.
After a while, Hu Fang's voice came from behind him, "Come and see, is it him?" I hurriedly followed the voice. When I got closer, I saw that the word "Wang Xian" was indeed written on the handle of the compartment. The corpse's temples were forward, somewhat close to the eyebrows, and there was a noticeable bullet hole, which was charred black around the bullet holes, which should have been caused by close shooting.
At this time, Li Zhisheng also rushed over from the location he searched, he looked at the corpse and said, "It's him, then who of us will ......do it" As he spoke, he raised his right hand into the air, and I saw that he was holding a bright scalpel in his hand. In such an environment, the scalpel in his hand was illuminated by the flickering lights and emitted bursts of silver light, and the hearts of those who watched it were cold.
"Did you prepare before you came?!" I asked Li Zhisheng with some doubts, and he replied casually: "No, I found a workbench over there just now, and I brought some tools on it." ”
"So who's going to do it now?" He asked again, because none of the three people present had any experience in dissection, so they all stared at each other, a little at a loss. But then I thought, "I have to do it sooner or later, and this is also the ...... I'm coming" Thinking of this, I took the scalpel that had been held hot by Li Zhisheng, swallowed my saliva and said, "I'll come!" ”
Although he knew that the box was in his body, it was not clear where it was. So I had to close my eyes, plunge the knife in my hand into the corpse's throat, and then forcefully cut the corpse's entire chest cavity open with my wrist. Because of the force of the knife, the blade made a "click, click" sound when it passed through the ribs, and the bones broke with a "click, click", and I got goosebumps all over my body.
Due to the lack of bright lighting, even if the body was opened, it was impossible to see where the box was. I had no choice but to roll up my sleeves and put my hand all over the corpse's chest. At first, I thought it would be something special, but when I went inside, I found that it was not much different from going to the vegetable market to buy meat and touch those dead pork.
It's just that a lot of fluid has accumulated in the chest cavity, and the hand makes a disgusting sound when it moves inside. Hu Fang, who was on the side, covered his mouth and stepped back a little. I don't know if it's because of the sound, or if it's the fishy smell that comes from opening the corpse.
At that moment, when my hand searched for the location of the lungs, it was as if it had touched a hard object that should not be in the human body. After a closer look, I noticed that the thing was angular and angular. Immediately, I was overjoyed, and I hurriedly grabbed it, and was about to pull it out of my body. At that moment, I felt a slight throbbing in one of the organs in my hand, which must be where my heart is.
Li Zhisheng saw that my movements stopped, and asked anxiously, "What happened?" Did you find the box? I didn't answer him, I didn't make any more movements, I just quietly felt the subtle feeling. But the slight vibration only lasted a few times, and just as I stopped, the beating of my heart also stopped.
Just as I thought it was my own heart beating, the corpse's heart was beating violently again. The moment the corpse's heart resumed beating, it sat up suddenly, opened its blood-red eyes, and stared at me deadly. At this time, the nerves that were already tense were already tense, and I was almost fainted by this sudden start.
Hu Fang on the side also let out a frightened scream at the same time, Li Zhisheng hurriedly took a few steps back when he saw this, and hit the metal cabinet behind him with a "bang". At this moment, I knew in my heart, "If I let go now, it will be almost impossible to get this box again." So I took advantage of the "living" corpse, and before I could react otherwise, I endured the fear in my heart, clenched the box with one hand, and pulled it out with all my strength.
Due to the force, I brought out the box along with the corpse's heart. As soon as the box left the dead body, the body "poofed" and lay down again. Although he had seen the so-called ghosts before, this series of sudden shocks still made his legs tremble.
After a while, Hu Fang saw that the corpse had no more seizures, so he came over and said, "This... What the hell is going on, how about the dead... How did you live? She grabbed my arm as she spoke, and I felt her whole body tremble violently. But I was so frightened that I couldn't say anything to comfort her for a moment.
At this time, Li Zhisheng's voice came from the corner on the side, it seemed that he was also shocked, and he also said in a slightly trembling voice: "Shen Xu, have you got the box?" While supporting Hu Fang, I followed the voice to find Li Zhisheng's location. He was already sitting on the ground in fright, and I shook the box in my hand at him and said, "This place is not suitable for a long time, let's get out of here quickly, and talk about it when we go back." ”
Li Zhisheng listened to me, nodded, and barely stood up by holding on to the wall. The three of them dragged their trembling legs out of the morgue and walked towards the door through which they had entered. In the dimly lit hallway, the dilapidated ceiling lights still flickered. I just want to go home now and take a good look at what's in this damn box.
