Chapter 18

The dense trees and weeds around it made it look even more desolate.

Only the path where the production crew was standing,

was a trail that had been trampled out.

And on the wall at the entrance of the red building,

three characters were mottledly carved:

[Morgue Building]

Looking at these three characters,

the hair all over the production crew's bodies stood up subconsciously,

and the netizens in the live stream were also severely shocked.

"Holy crap! Why did they run to a place like this!"

"I was wondering why it felt so desolate and eerie here..."

"So they ran to someone's morgue."

"Damn it, it's a morgue! Not just a mortuary!"

"Run, run! It's scary even through the screen!"

"Comment protection!!!"

"Oh no! Student Lu Shu went inside!!!"

"Is he going to work part-time in the morgue?"

"Too scary!"

In the camera frame,

netizens saw Lu Shu had already walked into the lobby on the first floor of the red building,

knocked on a window pane,

the glass opened,

and an old man's head poked out.

After the old and young spoke a few words,

Lu Shu fished something out of his pocket and handed it to the old man,

while also pointing toward the production crew.

The old man looked a bit vigilant,

but after looking at the item in his hand,

he finally waved his hand,

signaling they could enter.

"This scene..."

"Why does it feel like a secret transaction?"

"Student Lu Shu’s part-time job wouldn't be... stealing corpses to sell, would it?"

"He just took money out of his pocket to bribe the old man."

"Then he's going to steal corpses from the morgue to sell for money."

"After selling them, he'll split the profit with the old man!"

"Yes! It must be like that!"

"I heard some organs can sell for a lot of money..."

Netizens with wild imaginations had already started deducing,

and had even constructed a secret corpse-reselling transaction.

In such an eerie place,

no one ever comes here,

if a corpse or two went missing from the morgue,

no one would notice, right?

It seems...

that makes sense too.

Su Mu’s hands and feet were a bit cold,

women naturally have a greater fear of such places,

and her voice was a bit shaky.

"Lu Shu, did... did you just give that old man money?"

Lu Shu asked back strangely,

"What money?"

"That was a permit."

"The security guard only lets us in if we have a permit."

Hearing that what was passed over wasn't money,

Su Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief,

she was terrified that if they really filmed something illegal, it would be bad.

But the next moment,

a sentence from Lu Shu made her heart tighten again.

"Let's go in, we'll be late if we dawdle."

"Ah?"

"G-go in? O-okay!"

Su Mu replied with a trembling voice,

seeing Lu Shu had already taken the lead and walked into the eerie morgue building.

"Come on, everyone follow me closely, let's stay near each other."

With a call,

the production crew huddled together tightly.

Finally, they walked in too.

After walking in,

they realized the environment inside the little building,

was even more eerie than outside.

The wall plaster in the hallway had peeled off,

revealing gray and white patches,

the floor was made of dark marble tiles,

making the reflected light look even more eerie.

The lights used for illumination,

were those old-fashioned fluorescent tubes,

emitting a pale, sickly light,

and some were even flickering due to poor contact,

and one could vaguely hear the crackling sound of a short circuit in the wires.

"Peeling walls, short-circuiting lights, crackling electrical sounds..."

"Oh my god! This atmosphere is just perfect for a morgue!"

"It feels like watching a horror movie."

"I heard places like morgues are often haunted..."

"So scary."

By the dim light,

Su Mu followed closely behind Lu Shu.

Only then did she realize,

that after coming in, they weren't going upstairs, ===== CHAPTER 38 =====

but were heading underground.

The further down they went,

the dimmer the light became,

the colder the temperature got,

and there was already a thick smell of formalin in the air.

Click!

The sound of a door opening echoed in the silent space.

Lu Shu pulled open a thick door in front of him,

revealing the pitch-black space inside.

Walking a few more steps forward,

Lu Shu’s voice rang out in the darkness.

"You guys wait here for a moment, I'm going to turn on the lights."

"Don't move around, be careful not to bump into them."

The production crew obediently didn't dare to move,

in the darkness, they could only hear Lu Shu’s footsteps getting further and further away,

then the sound of a switch clicked,

and the basement lights were finally turned on.

The sudden brightness,

made everyone subconsciously unable to open their eyes.

After their vision recovered,

and they saw the scene around them,

the production crew’s legs went weak from fright.

"Holy crap!"

"So many corpses!"

The production crew finally knew who the "them" in Lu Shu’s "Don't move around, be careful not to bump into them" referred to.

And the netizens in the live stream also felt a cold sweat break out.

"So many... ugh!"

"Damn, even as a grown man, I don't dare to look."

"Is that an infant in that bottle..."

"Those white cloths..."

Around the production crew,

one bottle after another filled with liquid was placed,

and those bottles contained various human organs and tissues,

as well as over a dozen tiny corpses.

Besides the bottles,

there were seven or eight beds in the room,

and on each bed lay a frozen corpse.

Some were covered with white cloths,

some were not.

And in the position directly in front of the production crew,

was a huge,

glass tank filled with formalin liquid,

and in this tank,

no fewer than 10 complete corpses were soaking.

"Censor it..."

"Quickly censor it!"

Even while in extreme fear,

Su Mu reacted quickly,

and hurriedly told the backend to censor these corpse images in real-time.

She touched her forehead and neck,

they were cold,

covered in cold sweat.

And even more terrifying,

she saw that Lu Shu had somehow,

already changed into a protective suit,

wearing a mask,

holding a specially shaped landing net in his hand,

and had walked to the side of the tank filled with corpses,

while using the net in his hand to fish around inside,

he asked her casually,

"See if there's a style you like."

"I can fish one up."

"They're all going to be used anyway."

Listening to that somewhat serious tone,

and watching Lu Shu fishing around with a calm face,

Su Mu almost stopped breathing.

Chapter 023: Teacher Lu knows this craft too?

Under the dim light,

amidst so many corpses and organ tissues,

wrapped in the thick smell of formalin,

a person standing by a tank full of corpses,

carefully fishing around,

this scene,

except for the person involved,

who wouldn't feel panicked?

"Are... are you not afraid?"

Su Mu, who had already put on a mask, tried her best not to look at the corpses in the tank,

and focused her attention on Lu Shu’s face,

"People without life are the least scary."

"And this kind of scene, it's alright."

"At least you can still recognize they are human."

Lu Shu answered lightly,

when he worked part-time before,

he had seen many that you couldn't even distinguish as human shapes.

And when Su Mu heard this,

she seemed thoughtful.

Her eyes were filled with complexity.

"Hmm, this one is good, very fresh." ===== CHAPTER 39 =====

"Hmm, this one is not bad, very fresh."
