Fog, Corpses, and the Devil

Wu Wen's processing efficiency and event analysis were both extremely high.

Luo Di also noticed the weapon the other party used to kill the corpse: a sword... a sword that didn't need to be carried in a backpack and could be hidden directly between the body.

Although it was wet when it was taken out, it also had an undeniable smell of blood and flesh.

However, now is not the time to analyze your partner.

Since Wu Wen quickly provided the best exploration plan, the two immediately rushed to the deepest part of the campus to check the dangerous corpse that had first appeared on campus.

Some carts were haphazardly placed along the way, blocking the road, and Luo Di had to quickly climb over them by hurdles.

Wu Wen, on the other hand, crawled across the ceiling without any obstacles, moving at an astonishing speed. She reached the deepest part of the ceiling faster than Luo Di and landed first.

Morgue Number One

Compared to the chaotic situation outside,

Surprisingly, the place was exceptionally clean. There was no haphazard placement of any bodies in the morgue, and all the corpses were placed in refrigerated cabinets and sealed for preservation.

Time is running out.

Luo Di and Wu Wen each opened two different freezers and cut open the body bags.

The bodies were well preserved in the extremely cold environment, with little sign of decay.

Just as Wu Wen predicted, these suicide victims who first appeared on campus were all taken seriously by the hospital, and the tags hanging on their toes all recorded relatively complete information.

These pieces of information share a very obvious commonality, making them easily identifiable at a glance.

[School of Life Sciences]

Both students and teachers belong to this college.

In other words, the root cause of the large-scale suicides, facial organ degeneration, and brain abnormalities on campus is most likely closely related to the college.

in addition,

The bodies of these earliest suicide victims matched the condition of the newest female corpse found at the entrance.

Furthermore, their brains are more like fingers, with the surface sulci resembling deep fingerprints.

After confirming that there was no more useful information, Luo Di and Wu Wen exchanged a glance and quickly closed the freezers. There were currently 37 seconds left until the two-minute time limit.

If we leave now, we have plenty of time.

Neither of them did anything reckless and they decisively evacuated.

But just as they stepped out of morgue number one,

The scene before him made Luo Di frown, grip his baseball bat tightly, and gray tentacles began to appear on his face.

"Wu Wen, killing a corpse shouldn't increase the ' Chaos Value,' right?"

"In this abnormal situation, we don't need to consider the Chaos Value. We can do whatever we want, but our priority should be escaping."

"OK."

morgue corridor

The corpses that had been sleeping on the cart all stood up, and the white sheets fell to the ground.

All the deceased committed suicide by jumping from the building, landing face down. However, due to the height of the fall and their weight, the degree of facial injuries varied.

When the corpses "saw" two living people who shouldn't be in the morgue, they didn't attack like in zombie movies; they simply stood still.

It is not absolutely still.

An activity even more terrifying than zombies immediately began.

Gaga~

Between their featureless, broken faces, finger-shaped brains emerged, protruding like earthworms.

Breathe, exhaling mist between the sulci of the brain.

If it were a corpse, that would be fine.

But there are now more than twenty corpses standing in the passageway.

Not only that, but sounds also came from the other morgues, and wisps of mist seeped out from the gaps in the freezers and flowed into the aisle.

All the corpses here have been awakened, or rather, they have been awake for a long time.

"Run!"

Luo Di and Wu Wen did not hesitate at all.

Cover your mouth and nose, and try not to think about the fog; focus your mind only on escaping.

Wu Wen crawled quickly across the ceiling.

Luo Di, with the Robust Physique of a serial killer, smashed his way through, sending corpses flying like bowling balls in all directions.

Even with broken limbs, smashed heads, and fractured spines, their facial fingers and brains still seem to breathe, producing mist.

The mist slowly seeped into the walls of the passageway.

This not-so-long passageway has actually started to 'stretch'.

Just as the two were about to reach the exit, the passage suddenly stretched to twice its original length, and the electronic door was rapidly closing as the final Countdown began.

What was originally a lot of time suddenly became tense.

Wu Wen is faster and unobstructed on the ceiling, allowing her to keep up with the speed at which the space expands.

If that's the case, she'll be able to dash out in just the last two seconds.

The situation is different for Luo Di. Even with his back arched in an exaggerated running posture, he was still a bit slow due to the corpses along the way, and it would be difficult for him to escape.

Seeing this,

Just as Wu Wen was about to rush out of the electronic door, she suddenly slowed down and deliberately stayed inside.

Click! The door closes and locks!

Luo Di was just one second away from catching up, and he couldn't help but frown.

The next second, he grabbed the Metal Bat in his hand and slammed it against the surface of the electronic iron gate with brute force.

The metal door couldn't withstand his power and was quickly and completely destroyed... However, behind the door was no longer the outside passage, but a solid cement wall.

The moment the door closed, the space was completely sealed off.

"Wu Wen, you should leave..."

"There's no need. It seems the other side is deliberately controlling the speed of the stretching space, using the speed difference between us, with the aim of separating us."

Let's survive together.

"OK."

The two turned around at the same time and looked back at the morgue area.

The corpses remained standing in the same spot, but their brains no longer secreted mist, and the stretched passage was only covered by a small amount of fog.

However, there was one more thing at the end of the passage.

A television set...

A television set that Luo Di had seen on the extra eighth floor of the dormitory.

Click!

The television was turned on, and a mouth breathing appeared on the screen.

Different bursts of Thick Fog seeped from the bottom of the television set.

Tread!

The mysterious figure reappeared, following the Thick Fog.

The slender body was level with the passageway, and the head at the very top had its face obscured by mist.

Like the sound of leather shoes echoing from inside a television set, it reverberated through the corridor, carrying a deadly pressure that relentlessly approached.

Unlike the dormitory building,

There are neither windows nor stairs here.

This is a completely enclosed space, a space from which there is no escape.

Luo Di was also immediately inflicting pain on himself, but what was happening before his eyes was not an illusion, but reality.

A real morgue, corpses, television sets, and a mysterious figure.

Tap tap tap!

Footsteps approaching,

Like a death knell, it urged the two to think of a way out of the predicament.

Wu Wen, who was usually calm and collected and could sleep soundly as soon as she entered the school, broke out in a cold sweat at this moment. Although she could come up with a solution, the mortality rate was higher than the escape rate.

As the mysterious entity drew ever closer, the source of the Thick Fog came into view.

Even she panicked and instinctively moved closer to Luo Di.

However,

Hiss~ Smoke rises.

This closeness almost burned her!

At this moment, Luo Di's body was heating up, and his skin was burning red.

"Luo Di, have you thought of a way to break this deadlock?"

Wu Wen's question was quickly answered. Ashes drifted past her, sweeping away the surrounding cold air, and even scorch marks spread from the soles of her feet.

"I've got it."

"How do we do it?"

"Give it your all and kill him ( in the Demonic language)."

When Wu Wen heard the unknown language of this other world, she suddenly noticed that the ashes floating in the air seemed to condense into a curved horn on Luo Di's face.
