Chapter 697: First Exhibition Room
There was a wooden sign hanging near the handrail of the stairs, with the words "Danger stairs, no way through" written in insect-like handwriting. Read
"Brother Jiang." Wen Liangshan stretched out his hand and tremblingly pointed to the corner of the wall behind the cordon: "Look what that is?"
After approaching, everyone found a large puddle of water on the ground, and a bunch of wet hair in the middle of the water stain.
The hair was messy, long and short, probably a lot of people's hair mixed together.
The most important thing was that you could smell a strong pungent smell emanating from the hair.
It was the smell of formalin.
Turning on the flashlight on the phone and shining it towards the top of the stairs, the darkness above was even stronger, and the light seemed to be suppressed in some way, and the visibility was compressed to a few meters.
From their perspective, the place where the stairs led to seemed like nothingness.
But within this visible range, they saw a scene they would never forget.
The stairs here were made of wood, dilapidated, and there were several large holes.
The cave was pitch black, but it felt like a hand could reach out from inside at any time to grab their feet.
The stairs were littered with rubbish, including glass fragments, the kind of glass jars used to hold specimens, as if someone had deliberately broken many specimen jars here.
But more of them were piled up in the corners, things that no one cared about, black, in pieces, and mixed together, balls covered with black hair.
Seeing this scene, Huai Yi couldn't help but clench the iron hook in his hand.
Jiang Cheng walked forward, tore off the cordon blocking the road, and threw it aside, "Let's go."
The road was not easy to walk on, and it looked full of danger. Several people were careful about their steps. Wen Liangshan, who was not very popular, walked alone on the edge.
Staring at the big hole under his feet, his heart was beating, for fear of seeing something he shouldn't see.
Suddenly, a hand grabbed him, "Follow me." Jiang Cheng said, "Follow my footprints."
Wen Liangshan was flattered and thanked him repeatedly.
The staircase seemed endless, and the dilapidation here was obvious.
The handrail of the stairs was full of cracks, and the metal strips used to support the wooden handrails were strangely twisted, and there were some gaps on it that looked like they were cut by a knife.
Finally, they reached the 5th floor.
Standing in the corridor on the 5th floor, the few people seemed to have walked into a period of history. They no longer needed the illumination of flashlights, and everything around them was shrouded in a layer of gray halo.
It was like a filter.
It was not very clear, but for Jiang Cheng and the others, this was enough.
"Wait a minute. Huai Yi walked forward quickly, approached Jiang Cheng and said, "Brother Jiang, I know I shouldn't have said it, but I can't help it. I feel something is following us from behind."
"It started from the 2nd floor, and it has been hanging behind us not far away. If we walk fast, that thing will follow fast. If we slow down, that thing will slow down too."
"I don't know what it wants to do, but you also know that this is the last floor. Should we solve the trouble behind before going in? "
Based on the crisis on the 3rd and 4th floors, the 5th floor will be even more terrifying. If they are attacked from both sides by the things behind them at this critical moment, they will be finished.
But to Huaiyi's surprise, Jiang Cheng shook his head, "Don't worry about it, concentrate on finding the last registration book."
"Don't worry about it?" Huaiyi didn't understand.
Jiang Cheng took out his mobile phone, turned on the screen, and showed it to Huaiyi. The time displayed on it was 12:33. At most, they only had 11 minutes left.
And they had to leave time to leave.
No time
"That thing didn't catch up with us from the 2nd floor." Jiang Cheng finally said: "I noticed it as soon as I entered this building. "
Huai Yi opened his eyes wide.
Several people walked along the corridor. There were no doors on both sides, let alone any rooms, only bare walls.
Water stains and black mold spreading across the wall could be seen occasionally.
Jiang Cheng stopped, took the iron rod used to hook corpses from Huai Yi, and then scraped the wall with the hooked end.
A whole piece of wall skin fell off, revealing the wet bricks and stones behind, on which grew a large patch of disgusting mold.
Everyone found that even behind the intact wall skin, it was soaked with an unknown liquid. The entire 5th floor corridor looked like an apple that only had a few black spots on the surface, but when it was cut open, it was found that the inside was rotten.
"There is a door here. "Wen Liangshan said suddenly.
Following the direction of Wen Liangshan's finger, everyone saw a dark green door embedded in the wall. If the door had not been opened a little bit, it would have been easy to be overlooked.
This was the first room they encountered after arriving on the 5th floor.
The fat man raised his head and looked at the sign hanging on the door, which had the words "First Exhibition Room" written in black pen.
They had been to the Second Exhibition Room on the 3rd floor before, but they did not expect to come to the First Exhibition Room again this time. Although they were afraid, they were also a little curious.
What would be in this First Exhibition Room?
As the door was slowly opened, everyone's doubts were finally answered. Wen Liangshan's eyes gradually widened. If Huai Yi had not covered his mouth first, he would probably have heard a scream.
A man with staring eyes was standing behind the door less than 3 meters away from them, looking down at them.
Of course it was not a living person, but a corpse that had been dead for an unknown period of time.
The body was soaked in a large glass container. What was frightening was that, unlike the previous heads, this body had its eyes open and was facing the door.
"Doctor." The fat man said in panic, "Why do I feel that this brother has expected us to come in at this time and is waiting for us here."
"Brother Fugui, please shut up, please?" Wen Liangshan seemed to have wasted a lot of effort in just one sentence.
The second exhibition room contained various organs, severed limbs such as hands and feet, and human heads. The first exhibition room displayed whole bodies, which sounded quite reasonable.
After walking a few steps inside, I found that the space was larger than I had imagined. There were bodies lined up against the wall, including men, women, old and young.
Jiang Cheng counted them and found that there were 16 in total, all placed in the same glass container.
It was a pity that he could not find the registration book.
Near the door, Jiang Cheng found a sign with a black pen saying that every body donor was worthy of respect, and hoped that people who came here to visit would have awe for them.
No matter what time it is, you should be respectful to them and don't make loud noises to avoid disturbing their sleep.
There is also a row of small words below, which is a brief introduction of each body donor.
Jiang Cheng took a quick look and was about to leave, then suddenly stopped as if he realized something.
