Chapter 4: All Uncovered
Blood slowly flowed down my mouth into my throat, my lips could barely be described as lips. I took a step forward, unable to see anything in the blackness, and molded a handful of blood in one hand. I startled myself, it turned out that it was the blood of my own lips broken just now.
Morning research dew bar, turned on the flashlight. My vision suddenly clear and bright up, he suddenly reached out to me in front, handed me a medical disposable mask, I do not understand on.
When I looked back at him, he had already put it on. Said, "The air here is very bad, I see they all bring masks when they come out, so I prepared it."
I nodded and he gestured for me to hurry forward. We stood up and I took the other flashlight and felt around. It was completely different from up here, the passages on either side were all stone, so at night in the still warm spring it was very cold I really regretted how little I was wearing and shivered as we moved forward. There was probably a little more walking to be done and we didn't see any doors or any piles of information.
Research Dew saw that I was afraid of the cold, and overpowered me with his jacket still. I looked at him, unable to see his features in this dark tunnel. I said thank you and continued on my way.
After walking about a dozen meters, we saw a vent. Yes, after all those steps, we only saw one vent. I couldn't help but curse the school perverts in my mind, why did they put the information in this kind of basement.
Research Lu grabbed to walk in front of me to observe that vent, less than a dozen centimeters big. Just come in, feel the cold wind is probably this mouth and door echo each other's sake. I asked don't ink, dawn will be trouble. He nodded and we continued to walk forward, not forgetting to glance at his watch. The time was ten o'clock sharp, and if things went well, we could get out before dawn.
After a few more steps, we reached the head. There were rocks in front of us, and two paths to the left and two to the right. I looked at Morning Research Dew, who also wore an incredulous expression. I'm sure he's torn about which one to take, so I tap him on the shoulder and say, "Why don't you take one and I'll take the other. When you find the data bank, just text message to contact." I pulled out my cell phone and found no signal. Shaking my head, I said, "Cell phones don't have signal, it won't work."
He said, "No, I don't feel good. We can't be separated, you pick one."
I was 165 and looked up at him at 178. It was as if one more jump and the rock could have been toppled. Morning Research Dew threw the hard questions at me, and I just had to pick one.
"Go right." I walked in and looked at him as he followed me toward the right. I realized that the two paths that separated them were not as high as the main path. Instead, they were narrow and only one person could pass through.
I realized that the light from the flashlight shone off into the distance for as far as I could see. I couldn't see the end at all, and I began to feel nervous, feeling like I was entering a tunnel.
Research Lou said behind me, "Watch your feet carefully."
"Nnn."
Even the words echoed.
We continued walking for another ten meters or so, and just when I suspected that we had already walked out of the school underground, we saw three doors! I lit up and thought, "We've finally found them.
When we got here, the path gradually widened and it was already possible for two people to pass through. We jogged up to the three doors, which were in the shape of a "T" and could now stand four or five people, so there was plenty of room. We looked at each other and decided to start with the first door.
Finally, the door was unlocked. Morning Research Dew opened it as soon as it was open, however, the blast of dampness that hit us both just made us want to gag. It was the same kind of smell that could be smelled in the corners of the library. Only the smell wasn't as strong, it was the phenomenon of rotting books and dampness from years of not seeing sunlight. Research Lou took a step inside and I was convinced that this was still college when I saw that the floor had changed from stone to floor tiles.
He goes inside and the light from his flashlight illuminates the entire room. It's about forty square meters, which isn't small for a basement. I walk in too and close the door. Facing us was a box about one meter six long laid horizontally, looking like a coffin. On both sides were bookshelves made of wood, with books placed very untidily across them. If this were to be flipped through, it would be very difficult. Because you would have to move it down a little bit, unlike books that were placed vertically on the shelves, you could just look at the name on one side of the book and walk around looking for it.
"It looks like they moved in these books with no intention of flipping through them anymore. This isn't a library, it's a basement." Research Dew pulled out an almost corroded book, looked at it and realized it was human medicine, and continued, "And it's not a resource either, it's a medical book."
I said, "Let's go to the second door then."
He shoved the book back, and his eyes gazed at the "coffin" placed across the room.
He reached out to touch it, but I hastened to stop him!
What does he want? He's touching everything. I have a bad feeling. I have to get out no matter what. Research Lu's strength is too big, I can not break him, stalemate for a long time, he asked: "What are you doing?"
"I …… I don't know, anyway, don't play, let's hurry to find in the other door!" I pulled him ready to go, suddenly I don't know what he pressed something, the box "snap" opened.
With the eerie sound, my heart was in my throat. I felt that some years, open the lid of the sound so horrible, wood and wood between the rusty folding device has been deteriorated. It sounded as if an old door was being opened, and we were busy taking a step back. We stepped back and shone two flashlights at the coffin.
When the lid came up, the light from the flashlights shone down on the inside. I was so shocked that I screamed. Said it is a coffin is really a coffin, inside actually lying a one-meter-six-high human body! And it was dark, you couldn't see anything, although there was no smell of rotting corpses, but it was ultimately a black bragging humanoid. Why is there a coffin in the school basement? And there is someone …… who is that person lying inside.
Research dew through the mask to cover my mouth hard. I felt his hands get cold too, I think it must be because he gave me his jacket. I took it off in a hurry and told him I wasn't cold anymore. He stubbornly told me to put it on again, so I just did as I was told and put it back on.
"Idiot, take a good close look at what that is." He urged me over. I didn't dare and hid behind him.
Research Dew sighed and approached the coffin, reaching out to grab a dark patch of something covering the top of the body.
I yelled, "What are you doing!"
"……" The latter didn't say anything, and I couldn't even stop him. He uncovered the black thing in one go!
Revealing a …… mannequin with half of its head intact and half of its brain blood vessels exposed?
I stopped being afraid and went closer to look. Cowardly enough to touch it, it turned out to really be a simulated mannequin. Then I remembered that I had listened to a professor talk about the human body once when I chose a class at the beginning of the school year, and I used this model, but …… why is it here?
Morning research Lu said, "This mouth of the house is medical information, let's go to the second mouth." Said, just about to go, I want to check. Just take that black is actually a black plastic bag to uncover all the things.
Mannequin all revealed in front of me, it turned out, this is a model has not been able to use, the human body underneath has no stomach and legs. It may be broken by the students, here I did not think much about what.
I re-placed the plastic bag close to the model, closed the box, and followed the study Lu out of the first door …… before the second behind us, suddenly we heard the first door "rumble", the sound is not too loud, not too small. The sound is not too loud, not too small. It happens to let us both hear. The front of the research dew back, intending to go back to see.
I said, "Leave it."
He reached his hand toward the handle of the first door and said, "How can we do that, if it's anything but a mistake and the school thinks it's a thief. Check for fingerprints and we're in trouble."
That's very thoughtful of him, I agreed. With him to come back to the first door, introduced to the eyes actually – the box mannequins in the "coffin" in the sitting up!
He and I were both startled, and I suddenly felt the urge to retreat. I wanted to go back to the ground, it was too cold and I felt a sense of fear that I had never felt before.
Morning Research Dew, being a boy, boldly had gone in, patrolled around the coffin, and turned to me, shaking his head. Nothing unusual, he put the mannequin back down again.
He walked out and said as if to comfort me, "Nothing, don't be afraid. It's just a necrotic spring behind me, I've already pressed it back down, let's go."
I nodded my head and prepared to open the second door in silence.
This incident is still very scary to remember, I dare not think about it, came to the second door, we heard the same, exactly the same "rumbling" sound!
Suddenly, cold sweat broke out on my forehead, while Chen Yanlu quickly opened the first door and ran in!
