There was indeed a person lying inside the iron coffin, but it was not a rotting corpse. His face was intact, and there was no cracking or rancid feeling. It seemed that he had just been placed inside not long ago.
The dead were all in the coffins in those drawers. In the middle of the morgue, there was another tall coffin, made of iron. It was very strange in the first place. The scene inside did not match the rotting corpses in the other drawers. Its difference made me very curious, so I tried my best to climb up and used my phone to carefully shine on the person's face. Finally, I saw his face clearly.
However, when I looked at it, I was even more shocked. I actually recognized the appearance of that corpse, and I had just seen it!
"Xiangling, do you know who is lying inside?”I asked as I held onto the edge of the coffin.
She shook her head and asked me," Who is it? Didn't you just come to this city? How could you meet someone familiar?”
"It's the director!"
"What is it? Director, director of the funeral parlor?" Her surprise was exactly the same as when I first saw it.
The fat curator was lying inside. I met him half an hour ago. At that time, he was standing in the small square with a smile. He didn't feel uncomfortable at all. The only thing that made me suspicious was that he kept coming in and out of the mortuary. Now, he was lying straight in the coffin like a dead man.
I tried to call out, but he didn't respond or move. I saw that the coffin's chest didn't rise and fall, as if he was really dead.
What was going on? A good person had died inexplicably, and he had died in the morgue. I've been here since we met. I haven't seen a second person enter or leave this place. Even if the director died suddenly, who put him in this high and mighty coffin?
It couldn't be that he knew that he was going to die soon, so he crawled in by himself, right?
As for why the director died in this place, I had no idea. However, as I stood beside the coffin, I could feel that the temperature inside the iron coffin was much higher than the outside. It was as if there was a surge of warmth inside, passing through the top of the unsealed coffin and reaching my arm that was searching inside.
After being frozen for a long time, a trace of warmth instantly penetrated my heart. I had already climbed into the coffin and supported myself around it. My entire body was lying on top of it. It was indeed a little hot. My lower body was really burning.
"Director, how did you die? How can it be hot?" I muttered to myself in a silly manner. I really wanted to get an answer from him, even though I knew it was unlikely.
Li Xiangling must have thought that I was possessed. She climbed up from the pile of paper money and poked the back of my hand.
However, I didn't notice her at first. I was only focused on the fat director in front of me. I recalled everything that happened after I saw him just now and felt very puzzled. Before we entered the morgue, the director must have been lying here, but we clearly didn't see anyone coming in or out of here. Other than him lying here himself, what other explanation can there be?
In addition, the black shadow I saw behind the drawer and the person who locked the door from the outside and trapped Li Xiangling and me here, does he have anything to do with this?
At this moment, another wave of hot air rushed up and hit my cold face. It also woke me up. Alright, so this was the problem!
"Xiangling, come, I'll pull you up!”I extended a hand in front of her and motioned for her to climb to the side of the coffin." I found a way out. Let's leave immediately."”
"Really? Where is the exit?" Li Xiangling was puzzled.
"You'll know when you come up."
I used all my strength to pull her, and my feet had already jumped into the iron coffin. This coffin was slightly larger than the average one. Other than the director's body taking up more than half of the space, there was still enough space for two feet.
I bowed to the director. No matter what, I had to disturb him first. Then, I stuffed my hands into his back and flipped him over.
"Su Li, you're crazy!" Li Xiangling quickly came to stop him. Touching a corpse that had just died for no reason would disturb his soul.
However, I couldn't care less about that. I turned the director's body over. His body was indeed much warmer than a dead person's. Moreover, the hand on his back felt unusually hot.
As expected, after the curator was flipped open, a circular black hole with a diameter of only half a meter was exposed.
Fortunately, I discovered it quickly. The reason why this coffin was much warmer than the air in the morgue was because of this hole. It seemed to be able to leak out a lot of air from the outside world, making it seem full of yang qi. Perhaps the temperature alone would not be high, but compared to the extreme cold in the morgue, it was much hotter.
The fat corpse of the curator perfectly blocked the entrance of the cave. It would be difficult to find him if he was not lifted away.
The hole was so dark that I couldn't see the bottom. I used my phone's flashlight to shine in, but I couldn't see anything. Xiangling asked me what I planned to do. I didn't think about it and moved my feet to explore. I couldn't stay in this morgue anymore. No matter what was down there, it was always good to try. Staying here would only lead to death.
Ever since she was locked up in this godforsaken place, Li Xiangling seemed to have become a child. She was especially timid and could not think straight. He really did not know how she had survived until now when she was alone in the outside world searching for Dao Kui.
The bottom of the black hole was empty. I jumped in. I was worried that I would fall from a very high height, so I was prepared to hold my head. However, I had only fallen half of my body. My head was still in the coffin, and my feet had already landed. I squatted down slightly. My back was close to the wall of the black hole, just enough to bend down. My eyes could finally see that not far below the hole was an official road that ran horizontally underground. It seemed to be a sewer. This place was a little more yang than the top. My lower body no longer felt so stiff.
I held the phone in one hand to light up the front, and the other hand tightly grabbed Li Xiangling. This time, I couldn't let her run away and scare me again.
The tube was short and not wide, so it was very difficult to walk. It was also slippery, but after only a few dozen steps, they reached the end. At the end of the circular tube, there was a three-dimensional square tunnel-like passage. We walked in. This place was much more spacious, and there were some small light bulbs in front of the wall. They should have been placed by someone, but it seemed that many of them had been broken after a long time.
The spaciousness of the space made people feel a lot better. Li Xiangling finally calmed down a little. She said to me," Su Li, there is actually a special iron coffin in the morgue, and there is even a hole to open the way down. I'm afraid someone deliberately designed it like this!”
"Of course. Who would put a hole under their coffin?”I smiled. I had finally left the cold and strange morgue. It was a good thing, but I didn't know where this tunnel that seemed to be a defensive fortification would lead to.
"Do you think that the entrance was designed by the director?”She continued to ask.
This is the morgue of a funeral parlor. Without the permission of the director, it would be very easy for others to find a hole under the coffin. However, if the director knew or arranged this, how could he die at the hole?
"Xiangling, let's go out and find Li Changtian before we investigate the director!”
As soon as I finished speaking, I felt that I might have spoken too early. In front of the tunnel, there was a row of bones without any flesh or skin. Under the reflection of the dim light bulb, it was eerie and chilling.
Why were there so many bones in this tunnel? Could it be that many people had come here and died in the same place?
No matter what the reason is, this place is very strange. We have to leave immediately. However, the pile of bones was very high, blocking the path ahead. If they wanted to pass, they had to either jump and climb over or clear the bones to open up a small path.
Climbing a pile of bones, Li Xiangling would definitely be scared to death, and I wouldn't be able to accept it myself.
"Xiangling, do you have a way to blow up a part of those bones?”I thought of the fact that her rolling pin could emit a flash of light that could hit little ghosts. Perhaps it was also useful for these physical objects that were not very heavy.
Li Xiangling nodded and tried to take the rolling pin in her hand. She waved it a few times and chanted an incantation at the pile of bones. This was the first time I had observed her at such a close distance. Her movements were indeed relatively slow. If she encountered an expert, she would have been knocked down by the other party before she could even make a move.
Fortunately, White Bones would not resist. So be it!
The first laser shot out, and the bones on the top were blasted apart, falling to the ground.
"Amazing, continue!" I encouraged him happily.
Then, Li Xiangling was about to shoot out a second flash of light, but just as she was still waving the rolling pin, something unexpected happened. The huge pile of bones in front of me actually started to shake, shaking on top of it. Bones kept falling to the ground, and the completed bones actually crawled up from the pile of bones.
In the beginning, only a few skeletons moved like this. However, after Li Xiangling finished the second wave, the pile of bones exploded from the middle. The entire pile of bones collapsed, and then it became crowded. Groups of terrifying white bones stood on the ground like humans, except that they only had bones and no flesh or blood.
I've seen many ghosts, but this is the first time I've seen a corpse that has turned into white bones.
They stood up in fright. At first, they didn't understand the situation, but they soon realized that it was because of us that they broke the silence of the pile of bones. They walked towards us in unison.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:021420196:24PM
