Chen Ge did not expect it to go so successfully—he had just wanted to make himself look vulnerable so that it would be easier to endear himself to the man . Who knew that Mr . Liu would be so direct, ask for the culprit, and be so ready to represent him?
He's a good teacher . Chen Ge sincerely thought this Liu Zhengyi was not bad . The Haunted House currently needs someone to manage the mannequins; he looks like the perfect candidate .
After sighing, Chen Ge did not instantly answer Mr . Liu's question . Instead, he whispered, "Sir, I know you mean well, but I cannot say . "
"Are you afraid they'll retaliate for being a tattle-tale?" Mr . Liu frowned . "Then have you considered that the more you refuse the resist, the weaker you'll become in their eyes, creating a vicious cycle?"
Chen Ge lowered his head like he was seriously considering what Mr . Liu said .
"Don't be afraid, I'll help you," Mr . Liu promised, and he was ready to take action . After a while, Chen Ge slowly raised his head like he had come to a decision . "Mr . Liu, this involves many people, and then you'll realize the students and even colleagues around you have a side you don't know . You are a good person; I don't want to drag you into this mess . "
"Involves many people? I know most people at this school; they wouldn't do something like that . " Mr . Liu had a great sense of justice, but he was not dumb . After thinking about it, he said, "Other than the headmaster, there are only six teachers, not including myself, and a few experienced clinical doctors . Based on my understanding of them, they would not be involved in something like bullying students . "
Chen Ge kept his head lowered, memorizing everything that Mr . Liu said .
"Minus the teachers, there are only students, security guards, and general staff . " Mr . Liu thought about it but could not come up with an answer . However, Chen Ge did not look like he was lying .
"Sir, these people look a certain way before you, but they change when you are not around . They are wolves under sheep's clothing . " Chen Ge's fists tightened when he said that, and the words were squeezed through his teeth . Seeing that, Mr . Liu felt sorry for Chen Ge .
"I cannot drag you down with me, but if there's a chance, I'll personally expose those people for you to see . " Chen Ge was not joking—he had sensed endless malice from that security guard earlier . The security guard who had merged with the world was not interested in Mr . Liu, but if he saw Chen Ge, he would attack relentlessly . Mr . Liu would then see the real face of these 'people' .
"Alright then . " Mr . Liu did not force Chen Ge to continue . He walked back to the students and continued the class . Chen Ge was quite bored . The longer he stayed, the thicker the membrane became .
Mr . Liu is a nice person . I can make use of this chance to verify my speculation about whether helping the souls behind the door can help me gain the world's approval or not .
He walked toward Mr . Liu, but before he got close, Mr . Liu stopped him . "No one is allowed to come near the autopsy table without the proper equipment . "
"Sir, I just want to see whether there's anything that I can help you with . "
"Thanks, but as long as you focus in class and use that knowledge to help other people in the future, that is the biggest help you can give me . " Mr . Liu looked at Chen Ge and shook his head . "There are lab coats in the decontamination closet, go and put one on . You can attend this class for now, but after class is over, I'll go with you to find your teacher . "
"Okay . " Chen Ge put on the coat and the heavy mask . He walked to the autopsy table and stood next to the four dead students, looking at the cadaver on the table . Before Chen Ge entered, the room had only had Liu Zhengyi—the rest were all dead bodies . When he thought about it, that was quite scary .
Liu Zhengyi gave his lecture to a class of dead people and would gesture at the cadaver . There was a textbook on the table, but Chen Ge did not understand most of the medical terms . He turned the page to one with pictures and graphs . He studied it and understood about thirty percent of it .
After a long time, the cadaver on the table was still the same, and the students were all dead bodies, so of course, they did not reach out to touch the cadaver . However, Mr . Liu did not seem to notice any of that .
Chen Ge was at least given a valuable class in autopsy . When he completed his first Nightmare Mission, he had been given a talent, Mortician's Make-up . A good mortician should be familiar with human anatomy and dead bodies . Chen Ge grabbed the scalpel from the student next to him and steadied his breathing .
Only through practice could he know that he had learned something from Mr . Liu . The first step of the autopsy was to separate the skin . Chen Ge's hand that held the scalpel was steady . Initially, Mr . Liu thought about giving Chen Ge some pointers, but after Chen Ge finished scouring the cadaver's skin, he stood to the side and watched silently .
The scalpel ran up the neck, and the incision started at the occipital point . The knife cut through the scalp and severed the hair . When the hair was snipped, and the sound echoed in the room, Chen Ge's heart beat with its rhythm . This was the first time that he had come into such close contact with a cadaver and in this manner .
The cadaver's skin was thick from long submersion in formalin . It was like cow hide, completely lifeless . Chen Ge felt death so clearly and closely for the first time that he would remember this feeling forever .
After death, every emotion and desire changes into regrets, and my Haunted House is the place where all these regrets collect .
Following the autopsy, the blood membrane became thinner and his breathing easier .
Mr . Liu would occasionally correct Chen Ge's mistakes . Initially, Chen Ge was very irregular in his actions and made many mistakes, but his learning capability surprised Mr . Liu . The autopsy only went halfway . When Chen Ge prepared to continue, he realized that the blood membrane would not thin anymore .
What's going on? Chen Ge put the scalpel down . He had planned to remove the membrane fully in this room . He lifted his head to look . Mr . Liu, who stood not far from him, was spacing out . The floor underneath his feet that was made from flesh had blood vessels squirmed about, and it crawled into his eyes .
The blood pulsed underneath the skin, and gradually, Mr . Liu's eyes turned blood red, filled with blood vessels .
Losing control, the man seemed to morph into a different person . He moved his body slowly to remove the cadaver from the table . He put the lab coat on it and then moved one of the students to replace its place on the autopsy table .
After he was done, he turned to look at the table where Chen Ge was standing .
The bloodshot eyes moved down the group, and he seemed to be wondering why there was an extra person .
