Chapter 111: The Stone Groove Corpse

As soon as Big Nose Fan said this, the other three immediately covered their noses and mouths with their hands, not wanting to suck the stench of the dead bodies into their noses, nor wanting to be discovered by the living people behind the wooden planks that they were hiding here.

The three of them stood in place, only Fan was the only one who put his ear on the wooden board, and no one dared to act rashly. Fan listened quietly to the sound behind the plank, until a little spark fell on his hand, and then he turned his face against the plank to Avi and said, "Okay, the living have left." The rest of the group breathed a sigh of relief, but the foul stench rushed into their noses and mouths.

"Even if there are dead bodies behind, we still have to go inside!" Millet extinguished the torch and took out her knife to begin cutting through the plank. Avi asked the others to help, and the four of them began to try to break the plank in front of them. It didn't take long for the plank blocking the entrance to the secret tunnel to be opened, and Fan complained a little about Felisty's use of the method to cut the plank, but the red-haired girl ignored him.

"Let me see. Avi reached for the gap the size of a man's head and put the torch down. By the light of the fire, everyone could see that behind the planks was a small utility room with some tools for cleaning and cleaning. The four of them continued to make the gap bigger until they could all climb through the gap in the plank.

Fan first walked to the door of the utility room and checked the lock, "The door doesn't seem to be locked, and the strong smell of corpses is coming from outside the utility room, you have to be mentally prepared later." Holding back the stench, he began to try to push the door open.

Avi noticed that there were some brown cloths in the small room, in addition to some cleaning tools, and the rolls of cloth were very familiar, as if they had seen them somewhere.

"It's the Shroud!" Avi suddenly remembered seeing these things at the end of the Battle of the River, and the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield used the cloth to wrap the corpses of their comrades and carry them away, and finally burned them along with the corpses.

At this moment, a strong smell of corpses came from the door, and Fan suddenly looked back at the three of them, "You have to be prepared." He had opened the door of the utility room a little as he spoke.

A curious Michelle was the first to rush over to look, and Avi leaned his head over and looked through the crack in the door as the other showed a frightened look.

More than a dozen corpses wrapped in shrouds, each occupying a stone trough hollowed out of the wall, and this wall was less than three meters away from the utility room, so that Avi could clearly see one of the nearest corpses - the face of that corpse had completely shrunk, but its facial features could still be faintly distinguished, perhaps because of the addition of corpse embalming, so the whole corpse was preserved. But the corpse that was placed in the stone trough above it was different, although the corpse was also wrapped in a shroud, but the body was so badly decomposed that Avi could see the broken flesh and bones, and the unbearable stench came from this corpse.

Fan gently closed the door of the utility room after the three of them saw the scene outside, "You also saw that there is a place to park the corpses outside," Avi noticed that there seemed to be a walkway outside the door of the utility room, and there was a faint fire in the distance of the walkway, "There is no movement of living people outside for the time being, what are we going to do now?"

"Sure enough... The White Orphanage took the physically disabled orphans to do human experiments! These must be the corpses of orphans who failed the experiment..."Michelle's voice changed from loud to small, and the last word she spat out also made Avi realize that a feeling of despair and sadness appeared in Michelle's body. The corpses seen through the cracks in the door were both men and women, but most of the corpses were petite in stature, apparently the bodies of children. Adie has been missing for almost a month, and the possibility of her lying in the stone trough is very high, let alone Cynthia, who has been missing for a long time.

"Don't be disappointed, let's wait for us to check it out. Felisty hugged Millet and kissed each other's foreheads. When she opened the utility door, she already had something in her hand, and Avi guessed that it was the red-haired girl's secret weapon. Fan, who was walking in the second, also pulled out the catapult iron spear, and Avi did not buy a new weapon because he lost the black blade, so he was responsible for walking in the third with the torch, and Michelle walked in the last with the knife.

The four of them walked outside the utility room only to find that there was a long corridor outside the door, extending to the left and right. The aisle is just over three meters wide and four meters high. The walls of the aisles are dug out on both sides of the stone troughs, each column has four stone troughs, most of which have been filled with corpses, and only a few are empty. Most of the bodies were intact, but there were also some stone troughs where only bones remained, and the body that had just been placed in front of the utility room should have been there just a few days after death.

Avi walked behind Felisty and Van with a depressed mood, and he saw that most of the corpses were those of minors, but there were also some normal-sized corpses. As he walked, he swept his torch over the embalmed faces, not seeing Adie in them, but he noticed that the edges of the stone troughs were marked with red pens, and those marks were simple numbers, presumably the marks left by those who had stored the bodies there.

"Wait!" Phylistie whispered as she half-crouched down and slowly looked around the corner.

Avi realized that they had come to the end of the walkway, where a torch was set up against the wall, and the only way to turn right was in the walkway, and the other side of the walkway behind them was probably the same.

"No one, but..."

"What?"

"But there are so many corpses here...", the other three followed Felisty around the corner. It was a straight passage that stretched into the distance, and the left hand side of the passage was still the wall where the stone trough had been dug out, but the right hand side was different.

To the right of the passage there are dozens of narrow straights, each of which is the same as the one in front of the utility room, with numerous stone troughs dug into the walls on both sides. Avi felt like Mallot's library, with rows of shelves and rows of books, the stone troughs where the corpses were stacked were bookshelves, and each corpse was a book wrapped in a shroud.

"It's hard to imagine that there are so many corpses here..."Avi lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of alarming the dead who had fallen asleep forever. Neither Van nor Felisty turned their heads, they just walked forward step by step, towards the increasingly dimly lit passageway.

When they reached the end of the passage, they finally saw a wall that did not store the corpses, and a staircase leading to the top appeared in front of the four of them.

"This is probably the core of the White Orphanage's underground structure, and all we passed was the underground grave where they parked their bodies. Felisty said as she took Avi's torch and lit up the staircase. Avi glanced back at the long straight road they had walked, like a passage from hell to earth.

"I just want to find Cynthia and Adie, even if it's a corpse... I'm going to find it too!"

Felisty nodded, she was going to go up and check it out herself, and if it was safe to do so, the others would follow. Avi agrees with this method, and he asks Michelle and Fan to follow him and try to see if there are any people they know in the "bookshelves" they just passed.

The red-haired girl and the three of them parted, and Michelle followed Avi to investigate the stone troughs behind her. Fan said that he seemed to have seen a room just now, and he planned to go there to investigate, "Don't follow me, I'm not interested in investigating those disgusting corpse faces." ”

Millet then followed Avi and began to walk towards the stone troughs on the walls. Xiaomi's height can only see the bottom two squares, Avi can see three squares, and the highest one requires Avi to pick up Michelle and let the other party stand on his shoulder to see. There was nothing to stand on around here, and it was not known how the people of the White Orphanage had put the bodies on the highest level.

The two of them began to look through the troughs one by one, but found no bodies of Adie or Cynthia until they came to a particular trough.

"This stone trough is very long... And the corpse lying on it is also very tall, this person is two meters tall..."Before Avi could see the corpse lying on the stone trough, the corpse wrapped in several shrouds suddenly moved!

"Ahh At this time, Avi had already realized that it was not a dead person lying in the bradorite trough in front of him, but a living person!

"Who's disturbing my sleep...", a low groan from his throat reached Avi and Xiaomi's ears, and the living man lying in the stone trough had already stepped down, rubbing his eyes and grunting.

The "giant", who is more than two meters tall, has very broad shoulders and palms, he is wearing tattered clothes, and the facial features on his face seem to be crowded together, concentrated around the nose.

"Who are you??" asked the big two-meter-tall man, looking at Avi, who was looking up at him.

"I... I'm a hallucination in your dreams!" Avi spit out such a sentence without a head, and even Michelle, who was trembling behind Avi, couldn't help but laugh out loud, but Avi, who didn't know that he was replying, was about to call Fan's name, but Avi, who was pushed by the ghost, told a lie at the most critical time.

The big man rubbed his eyes again, and he opened his mouth, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth, "yes, then I'm in a dream?"

"That's right!"

"Oh—" The big man closed his eyes and lay back! Avi thought that he could deceive the big man in this way, but the big man fell to the ground in a daze and cried out, "Ahhh

The big man sat up angrily, but Avi and Michelle had already taken the opportunity to run away.
