The Hidden Female Corpse

"Is this key... a hospital-standard type?"

When Han Dong Door Opening, he completely ignored everything else in the passageway and focused entirely on unlocking it... If he failed, Han Dong would quickly move away from the hidden door and pretend to be in a normal cargo transport posture.

Just as the key was inserted into the lock, the "VOID" printed on the surface flickered slightly.

A strange, sticky film formed on the key's surface, automatically matching the lock of the hidden door and easily opening it.

You have entered the morgue corridor of the Joint Management Area - Derry Town Central Hospital.

"I really did find the right one..."

Upon leaving the motel, Togo provided information, explicitly stating that the unidentified female corpse—Jane—had connections to the hospital morgue as the prosecutor and forensic pathologist of Derry Town.

This led Han Dong to conclude that the key was related to the morgue.

To confront a completely unknown hospital head-on and forcibly seize the brain would be an extremely unwise choice.

Currently, the only 'props' Han Dong can use at the hospital is the key he just retrieved from the female corpse...

Based on the information Han Dong has gathered so far, using this key will be more beneficial than harmful.

Han Dong has made up his mind to start from this aspect.

"The morgue is part of the Derry Town Central Hospital."

To be honest, having a dean at the level of a tenth-level demon is more than enough to manage things.

As for the "forensic doctor" who oversees the morgue, it's perfectly feasible to find a highly corrupt doctor to take on the role... The principle that "two tigers cannot share one mountain" applies everywhere.

In fact, the mayor ordered that Jane, an unnamed female corpse who was also one of the "Ten Demons," work with the dean as a forensic doctor to manage the morgue.

This suggests that the morgue is a very important area, or that the 'corpses' stored inside are of great significance to the Inside Derry Town.

The town mayor was well aware of the dean's nature and, considering his potential misuse of the corpses, assigned one of the Ten Demons to assist in management.

This ensures that the bodies are not misused by the hospital director and also guarantees the absolute safety of the morgue.

Based on the above analysis, the danger level of the morgue must rank among the top three in Derry Town... Whether it's good or bad, only I can verify that once I delve deeper into the morgue.

With a resolute look in his eyes, Han Dong walked along the cold, dark corridor of the morgue, observing not a single sign of depravity or corruption.

A short while later.

The Morgue, lit up with red lights, appeared at the end of the road.

An elderly man, responsible for guarding the gate, sat to the side of the gate.

From the perspective of the Demon Eye, the old man, whose eyes were empty, was connected to a heavy shovel by tentacles growing from his back, ready to deliver a fatal blow to any outsider who tried to break into the morgue.

Such a clean and inescapable passage makes it virtually impossible to avoid interference with existing methods... Even if all means were used to instantly kill the old man, it would inevitably alarm the hospital administrators.

but...

According to Han Dong's observation, the old man did not emit any aura and was in a very strange state.

"Could it be?!"

Han Dong tried to step out of the shadows and come within five meters of the old man.

The old man gave no warning to the strangers who approached... It seemed that his consciousness had been transferred to another dimension.

"So... he's already been affected by the illusion of the female corpse?"

Han Dong smiled.

This situation indirectly confirms that my plan is correct... Using the key will open another special hospital route, and perhaps I can obtain the perfect brain needed for the Main Plot through another route.

When the key is inserted into the lock of the morgue door.

Click click click~

The iron gate, equipped with multiple locking mechanisms, is being unlocked layer by layer, the key constantly changing internally to adapt to the lock's variable structure...

Just before the door opened.

Han Dong fully activated the [Smiley Face] trait of his Talent Tree, frantically munching on a smiley face fruit and swallowing it.

The excess red juice clung to the rim of her mouth, outlining a deep red mouth.

Given prior knowledge that there might be a psychological impact.

Han Dong fully activated the [Laughter] attribute, and wrapped his entire body in Crow Feather Robe, using the part with the most feathers as a hood to cover his head.

despair...

He also held the Crow Caller Staff in his hand, and every second a sharp cawing sound [Caw!] emanated from the Crow Staff, which could also effectively prevent the effects of illusions.

If Han Dong is still pulled into the illusion despite the triple protection, then there's really nothing he can do.

A more desolate, darker, and cleaner passageway.

The morgues, one after another, are neatly arranged on the right side of the road.

Han Dong remained absolutely focused, not lingering in the first few morgues... He continued deeper until he stopped in front of the door number [Morgue-13], where the staff in Han Dong hand stopped moving forward.

Insert the key again.

The master key given by the female corpse seems to be able to open all the doors in the hospital.

Sizzle~

The cold white light bulb hanging in the center of the morgue slowly lit up.

The morgue, which is about 30 square meters in size, has refrigerated cabinets on all four walls, with a total of 48 cabinet doors for storing corpses.

Han Dong's gaze slowly swept over each cabinet door, lingering on doors 13, 17, and 26... but he ultimately settled on door 41.

You also need to insert the key.

Hiss~ Cold air is escaping.

The Mortuary Cabinet was pulled out with remarkable ease... the body inside was quite light.

There wasn't much hesitation.

Han Dong reached out and grabbed the drawstring of the Corpse Bag, pulling it down.

A clean, beautiful, and flawless female corpse that Han Dong recognized appeared before him. It was none other than Jane Doyle, one of the ten demons of Derry Town.

Warning! Warning! Contact with the Hidden Resident - Jane Doyle.

Even Though the system's repeated warnings, the female corpse in front of them showed no signs of movement; not even a finger twitched.

There was no movement, no sound, and no hint of murder.

After their previous encounter, Han Dong roughly understood the female corpse's setup: she was inherently unable to move... and to communicate with her, physical contact was necessary.

After a moment's thought, Han Dong extended his left arm, which belonged to the Undead Priest.

Touching the female corpse's fingers.

In an instant.

A refreshing and invigorating sound echoed in Han Dong's mind.

"You... are indeed very special."

You are the only 'life' unaffected by my spirit.

Han Dong had already planned how to smoothly transition into the conversation, and asked with a smile:

"By the way, the 'master key' that can be used in the hospital doesn't entirely belong to you, does it? You went to all this trouble to have me meet you here... are you trying to make a 'secret deal' with me?"

Han Dong emphasizes that the purpose of the word "trading" is to open up another route to acquiring a perfect brain.
