The walls twitched like they were alive . A light mist seeped out from them to surround Chen Ge's body, thickening the membrane on his skin . The world behind the door seemed to mimic how reality was when the door was first opened . The layout there was completely identical to the underground morgue . The central hub was used to collect organs and fat . In reality, it was sealed due to various reasons and had been transformed into a unique lab by Doctor Gao using the cadavers as building blocks .
"Once you get used to it, it's nothing scary," Chen Ge said that for the benefit of Ma Wei and Li Jiu . They made a few attempts but failed to leave the room . When Chen Ge looked at them, they shook their heads vehemently . "This is indeed too much for normal people . "
Chen Ge pointed at the room behind them and walked ahead on his own . The strange world, corridors made from flesh, blood mist everywhere—this place was like a nightmare that one could not wake up from .
The lamp in the ceiling became a human eyeball and did not release any light . Stay there long enough, and one would assume that they were originally from this place and were part of this world . The sides of the corridor had doors that were covered in blood vessels . Chen Ge opened a few of them, and they were filled with machines that he could not identify . Most of them were made from flesh, but some of them were normal machines covered with flesh and blood .
Such a crazy world .
After he turned the corner, Chen Ge saw a living person . Standing about five meters in front of him was a little girl in a white dress, squatting next to the wall . She had a red apple in her hands, but her eyes were focused on the organs that were dancing inside the wall . It was unclear what she was thinking about .
The girl surprised Chen Ge . Be it the pure white dress or the innocent-looking face, the girl formed a great contrast to this fleshy world . Why would a girl like that appear in such a world?
Chen Ge walked out from the corner and slowly moved forward . When the girl heard his footsteps, she was spooked like a deer caught in headlights . She turned in a fluster and ran away . The apple that she held fell to the floor . Chen Ge looked at the apple that rolled to his feet, and he bent down to pick it up .
The apple looked delicious, but it felt weird in his palm . It was slippery and soft . Chen Ge also swore that he could feel it pulsing .
Is this a real apple?
When Chen Ge picked up the apple, the girl was worried . She wanted to take it back from Chen Ge, but she was too afraid .
Something's not right .
Chen Ge placed the apple back down and moved back several steps . Seeing this, the girl immediately ran away and hugged the apple against her chest . Her face was the size of a palm . Combined with that expression of panic and relief, she looked so cute .
"Don't worry, I don't mean to harm you . I'm just lost . " Chen Ge maintained his distance from the girl . In reality, he was also guarding against the girl . After all, she was a resident here .
The girl was still anxious like a girl who had wandered a bit too far from home to play and was now approached by a stranger . She was trying to find a way to escape . Chen Ge could see that he was making the girl panic . He did not force his way forward . None of the Specters could be used, and if he pushed the girl too far, it was hard to tell who would lose .
Taking another step back, Chen Ge placed the hammer back inside his backpack . "I just want to ask you some questions . "
The handle was exposed at a spot where Chen Ge could grab it easily . If there was danger, he could pull it out in a second . The girl looked at Chen Ge but refused to get close to him . Holding the fleshy wall, she walked away from Chen Ge cautiously before turning and running away .
Chen Ge did not give chase . After the girl left, he was shocked to realize that his breathing had gotten smoother, and the blood membrane covering him had gotten thinner .
I have not done anything but help the girl pick up her apple . Will helping them gain me this world's approval?
Due to the lacking clues, Chen Ge could not be certain . He proceeded in the direction that the girl had run off in .
The child doesn't look like a dead body . She is agile and has vibrant facial expressions .
Chen Ge relaxed with the girl's appearance .
This world might be scary, but the residents here have maintained their humanity . I saw desire and fear in the girl's eyes—only humans can possess such complicated emotions .
Each world behind the door was different . Chen Ge was most afraid a massacre-filled world where the residents would kill without reason .
Looks like there's still hope .
The world behind the door reflected the heart of the door-pusher . The world was made of flesh and blood, but the residents had the appearance of living individuals . This contrast left a deep impression on Chen Ge . Exploring the world was actually no different from understanding the door-pusher . This was a valuable chance to get to know the person .
Chen Ge followed the girl to the end of the corridor . He pushed the door open and exited the central hub to enter the middle section . The blood mist was heavier there, and the walls were uneven, looking more like human organs .
There were three rooms in the middle section and each room had a cadaver pool . There was even a plaque on the door . 'To thank the selfless contribution of the cadavers, we should give them the utmost respect . I, as a medical student, make this solemn promise to treat every class seriously and will not take any pictures for entertainment purposes . '
The words on the plaque are not yet dry . They look new . Chen Ge glanced through the glass on the door . The pool was filled with a red-brownish liquid, but there was no cadaver in it .
The most urgent thing is to find the 'people' living here . That way, I can destroy this blood membrane and unlock my employees .
Chen Ge did not enter the room . He was about to leave the middle section when he heard a man's voice . It seemed to come from one of the autopsy rooms on the left .
"Life's meaning is not to do with anything material but what you've done . When you stand before the autopsy table, everything you see is just skin, fat, blood vessels, muscles, organs, and bones—do you understand?"
Chen Ge walked up to the room . The door was half-open, so he peaked into the room .
There was a male lecturer standing before the table . He was wearing a white coat, and his voice was stable and powerful . He was lecturing eight students in the room .
