Underground Morgue

"Interesting. This thing is probably much better than the Pen Fairy and that crying statue. As long as you pay the price, it can predict anything and isn't afraid of being interfered with at all."

Zhang Ze examined the compass for a while.

He certainly had many questions to ask.

For example, who is actually in charge of Hanjiang City?

He's now going to talk to Doctor Gao about whether he can seize the opportunity to eliminate the Ghost Story Association completely, take control of the Western Outskirts, and become the true master of the Western Outskirts.

Or perhaps he should try asking some basic questions like Chen Ge, such as who his future wife is?

After a moment's thought, Zhang Ze had an idea.

Opening your mouth creates problems.

A wound appeared on his hand, from which flowed dark red blood that seeped into the Grand Duke Compass.

The Grand Duke Compass began to vibrate violently.

Three traditional Chinese characters appeared above.

Liwan Town.

Zhang Ze withdrew his finger, his face slightly pale. He could feel that a portion of his supernatural power had been absorbed by the Grand Duke Compass, and a part of his supernatural abilities had been permanently weakened.

As for the question he asked...

It's related to William's Diary.

To be precise, it's related to Wego was mentioned in the diary.

Zhang Ze's question was whether Wego was still alive, and if so, where Wego was.

The Grand Duke Compass provided the answer: Wego is in Liwan Town.

"Is the person who developed the second method to escape the Door-After World trapped in Liwan Town? That's unrealistic, unless he's trying some means, such as escaping Liwan Town using his own research."

"Liwan Town is in the Eastern Outskirts, and the Eastern Outskirts also have Shadow and Underworld Fetus. This guy is really bold."

After verifying the function of the Grand Duke Compass, Zhang Ze put Grand Duke Compass away. The cost of using this thing was too high, and he could not use it frequently.

He has now ruled out all unforeseen circumstances.

Gao Jian has left.

Wego is located in Liwan Town, on the Eastern Outskirts the city.

No one like Yue Pan, who is currently on the run, has appeared yet.

Even the biggest variable, Chen Ge, has been dealt with by Zhang Ze.

The stage is now set up.

This is the final battle against the Ghost Story Association.

Zhang Ze wouldn't give Doctor Gao the chance to make the first move.

"The match is over, Xiao Zhang."

"Get ready for tomorrow's awards ceremony!"

Others, including Shen Yue and Xu Wan, also contacted Zhang Ze, asking Zhang Ze to come out and quickly prepare the award speech and other finishing touches.

Lin Xiaomei, in particular, was extremely anxious, waiting for Zhang Ze to give his evaluation of her work.

Zhang Ze returned to reality.

the next day.

Zhang Ze attended the awards ceremony for the first Haunted House Major at New Century Amusement Park.

The champion was Su Ren and Gao Jian Team. Gao Jian had already left. Su Ren and his male and female companions attended the awards ceremony together. Zhang Ze gave them a specially painted trophy with the logo of the Horror House and hideous skull claw marks on it.

I only said a few words.

Zhang Ze was more concerned about the runner-up position.

The runner-up was the professional team from Hanjiang City Forensic Medicine College.

Gao Ruxue walked onto the stage, but her expression was somewhat forlorn.

"You look unhappy. Is it because Su Ren and the others suddenly appeared and took first place from you?" Zhang Ze said to Gao Ruxue, noticing her unhappy expression.

Gao Ruxue's lips moved slightly.

"No, even without them, we still lost to that Lychee team at the beginning; we would have only come in third place at best."

"The Lychee Team has been arrested. They were the thieves who sneaked into the Haunted House. I have disqualified them from the competition. You defeated dozens of competing teams at the same time. You are very impressive to be the runner-up," Zhang Ze said.

Gao Ruxue gave a forced smile.

He did not continue speaking.

This was exactly what Zhang Ze wanted to do.

"You're worried about your teammates, Ma Ying and Liu Xianxian, aren't you?"

Upon hearing Zhang Ze's words, Gao Ruxue was immediately taken aback. "How did you know?"

Standing in front of Zhang Ze, she was completely exposed, as if she had no secrets. This was why she preferred to stay by Boss Chen's side rather than Boss Zhang's; she felt more comfortable around Boss Chen.

But Zhang Ze pointed out her secret.

She also happened to have no one to talk to.

The two immediately felt like they had met kindred spirits.

"When we received the award, it was just you and He Shan; I didn't see Ma Ying or Liu Xianxian, so I guess they must have had a fight."

"It's not convenient here, I'll talk to you later."

He stepped down from the stage.

The Haunted House has resumed its normal operations.

Zhang Ze led the preoccupied Gao Ruxue into the backstage of the Haunted House and found her a chair. As soon as she sat down, Gao Ruxue's long-suppressed emotions suddenly erupted.

"Boss Zhang, I really don't know what to do!"

"The three of us were originally very close best friends, but Liu Xianxian... she has absolutely no sense of boundaries. She's been flirting with other guys. Boss Zhang, you know there are a lot of girls in our forensic medicine school, so it's not easy for guys to find partners. And Ma Ying's boyfriend isn't exactly innocent either; he's been seeing Liu Xianxian..."

He rambled on and on.

That's roughly the idea.

Liu Xianxian had an ambiguous relationship with Ma Ying's boyfriend. After the competition, Ma Ying caught Ma Ying in the act and immediately exploded. Now the two are at odds and won't even attend the awards ceremony, each having their own tiffs.

Gao Ruxue was caught in the middle, pleasing neither side.

But Gao Ruxue heard something.

Ma Ying plans to lure Liu Xianxian to the school's Underground Morgue where cadavers are kept after next week's anatomy class, and then lock Liu Xianxian up there.

It has no special significance.

It was revenge against Liu Xianxian.

Zhang Ze knew immediately that a job had come his way.

As expected, the system task arrived on schedule.

[Triggering the Supernatural Place Quest]

[Underground Morgue: Scream Index 3 Stars]

The meaning of life lies not in whether one can breathe, but in other things. In the unopened area of Underground Morgue lives a group of immortals.

[This quest is a prerequisite for the four-star scenario Spirit Channeling Ghost School." Completing it with a 90% or higher success rate will unlock a special reward!]

"Gao Ruxue, have you heard the rumors about the Underground Morgue?"

"Of course I've heard of them. Shouldn't I be asking you this question? How do you know more about our school's ghost stories than I do?" Gao Ruxue was dumbfounded again. She even wondered if Zhang Ze had seen through everything. This guy is really handsome.

There are indeed many rumors about Underground Morgue at their school.

Some people say that strange noises come from the Underground Morgue at night.

Some people also saw the cadavers walking around inside on Wednesday night.

And the legendary Weeping Statue when it hears the truth.

"That's right, this matter is very serious. If it doesn't receive timely intervention, it could have extremely serious consequences for Liu Xianxian, Ma Ying, and even you!"

Zhang Ze spoke with righteous indignation.

Of course he had to get involved.

Not just because Doctor Gao's hideout is in Underground Morgue.

More importantly, in the original novel, Liu Xianxian was trapped in the Underground Morgue for a night, which directly frightened her to the point of mental breakdown, leaving her with extremely serious psychological trauma. Her obsession also remained in the Underground Morgue, causing Ma Ying and Gao Ruxue to become ill with guilt as a result.

This was a tragedy that could have been avoided.

If Zhang Ze had known in advance, he wouldn't have let the tragedy happen.
