Chapter 37

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

Only the spot where the production crew stood,

was a path trampled out.

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

three characters were mottledly carved:

【Morgue Building】

Seeing these three characters,

every hair on the production crew's body instinctively stood on end,

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

"Holy crap! How did we end up in a place like this!"

"I was wondering why this area felt so abandoned and gloomy..."

"Turns out we ran straight into someone's morgue."

"Damn, it's Corpse-Building, not Morgue!"

"Hurry, hurry! Even through the screen it's scary!"

"Bullet screen protection!!!"

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

"Could this be him taking a part-time job in the morgue?"

"Too scary!"

In the camera footage,

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

tapped on a window pane,

the glass opened,

and an old man's head poked out.

After the old man and the young one exchanged a few words while bowing their heads,

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

while also pointing his finger toward the production crew's side,

the old man's expression was somewhat wary,

but after looking at the thing in his hand,

he finally waved his hand,

signaling that they could enter.

"This scene..."

"Why does it feel like a secret deal?"

"Could Student Lu Shu's part-time job be... stealing corpses to sell?"

"Just now he took money out of his pocket to bribe the old man."

"Then go steal corpses from the morgue to sell for cash."

"After selling them, give the old man a share of the profits!"

"Yes! It must be like that!"

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

Netizens with big imaginations had already started deducing,

even conjuring up a secret corpse-trafficking deal.

In such a gloomy place,

normally no one comes,

if one or two corpses were missing from the morgue,

no one would notice, right?

Seems like...

it actually makes sense.

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

women naturally have a heavier fear of such places,

her voice sounded a bit shaky.

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

Lu Shu asked back in confusion,

"What money?"

"That was a permit."

"Only with a permit will the security guard let us in."

Hearing that what he had shoved over wasn't money,

Su Mu finally felt a weight lift from her heart,

she had been worried that if they actually filmed something illegal, it would be bad.

But the next moment,

one sentence from Lu Shu made her heart tighten again.

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

"Ah?"

"G-go in? O-okay!"

Su Mu answered, her voice trembling,

as she saw Lu Shu already leading the way into the gloomy mortuary building.

"Come on, everyone, stick close to me. Let's stay near each other."

With that call,

the production crew huddled tightly together.

They finally walked in too.

Once inside,

they realized the environment within the small building

was even gloomier than outside.

The wall plaster in the hallway had peeled off,

revealing patches of gray and white,

while the floor was made of dark, heavy marble tiles

that made the lighting appear even more sinister.

The lights used for illumination

were still those old-style fluorescent tubes,

emitting a pale, ghastly glow,

with a few even flickering due to poor contact,

and the faint sound of electrical shorts hissing could be heard.

"Peeling plaster, short-circuiting fluorescent tubes, the crackling of current..."

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

"It feels like we're watching a ghost movie."

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

"So terrifying."

Relying on the dim light,

Su Mu followed closely behind Lu Shu.

Only then did she realize

that after entering, they were not going upstairs,
