Gentle Sleep Instructor
Chapter 492 Since We're Here
Yu Yu felt a little scared upon hearing this. She understood the part about her feet, but her head... After thinking it over, she decided to abandon the idea of asking.
She didn't think it was appropriate to ask questions in this situation.
Since this man said so, there must be a reason for it.
Yu Yu still trusted Jiang Cheng quite a bit. This man had a special quality that attracted her, making her feel inexplicably reliable.
And his decision to go and rescue Huai Yi and Du Feng, despite the objections of others, further confirmed this, making her feel that she hadn't misjudged him.
Jiang Cheng was looking for someone, so he naturally didn't realize that this girl behind him had thought so much in such a short moment. He looked around from time to time, including above his head.
Standing in the morgue, it would be a lie to say he wasn't afraid.
Fortunately, when he came in, Jiang Cheng used a heavy mortuary bed to block the door, so that some light from the corridor could shine in.
In the event of a sudden incident, they wouldn't be trapped in the morgue.
"Found it!" Cao Yang, who was squatting on the other side, suddenly said.
His voice wasn't loud, but the excitement in his tone was very obvious.
Jiang Cheng quickly walked over, and Yu Yu followed closely behind him.
The light from the phone kept shining around. It seemed that Yu Yu was also worried about what might be hiding in the surrounding darkness.
Each mortuary cabinet had a number on it, as well as a stainless steel handle. The overall feeling was like a magnified, square drawer.
Jiang Cheng saw the name Zhang Zhaowei written on it.
It was handwritten, with a blue-black fountain pen. The strokes were sharp and chilling, which matched the current atmosphere very well.
Cao Yang was cautious and didn't open the drawer rashly.
Before opening it, the three of them carefully checked the surroundings.
After finding no problems, Jiang Cheng slowly took a breath, reached out to grab the handle, and slowly pulled it out.
The stainless steel handle was icy cold. Cao Yang and Yu Yu's eyes were fixed on the mortuary cabinet.
The drawer-like tray was slowly pulled out, and cold air overflowed, causing the surrounding temperature to drop several degrees in an instant.
A corpse covered with a white cloth appeared before the three of them.
A person's outline appeared under the white cloth.
Without hesitation, Jiang Cheng reached out and lifted the white cloth.
But in the next second, the scene before them shocked the three of them.
In a panic, Yu Yu's hand trembled, and the phone almost fell to the ground.
A peacefully sleeping old man lay quietly in the mortuary cabinet, his face haggard, but his expression serene. There were no obvious external injuries for the time being.
But the strange thing was... They had seen this old man just over 10 minutes ago!
The old man had even told Jiang Cheng an incredible story.
It turned out that he was Zhang Zhaowei!
After calming down, Jiang Cheng's chaotic thoughts instantly connected. Former Director Zhang Zhaowei had died two months ago, and the resurrected corpse in the old man's story was also sent at that time.
This was simply his own story!
The resurrected corpse... was Zhang Zhaowei!
It was the old man in front of him.
"Don't be afraid." Jiang Cheng comforted Cao Yang and Yu Yu, "The old man shouldn't have any malicious intent, otherwise we, his juniors, wouldn't have been so smooth along the way."
Although he said that, it was all for the ghost to hear. Jiang Cheng wasn't sure if the corpse would open his eyes in the next second, then grin and say to them in a sinister voice: What took you so long?
But they had already come.
They couldn't go back empty-handed.
Jiang Cheng took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it skillfully, and placed the lit end facing outward near the old man's body.
Jiang Cheng looked at the old man's face, then raised his head and said to Cao Yang and Yu Yu with a sorrowful expression, "The old man had noble morals and is a model for us. Now let's bow to the respected old man."
Hearing this, Cao Yang and Yu Yu instantly understood. Without any preparation, they immediately gave the corpse a standard three bows.
But after the last bow, Yu Yu raised her head and suddenly realized that a space was empty beside her. Jiang Cheng... was gone.
"Thud!"
"Thud!"
"Thud!"
Standing opposite, Cao Yang widened his eyes and found Jiang Cheng respectfully kneeling on the ground, kowtowing three times to the corpse.
After standing up, Jiang Cheng looked sad, his eyes red.
Cao Yang swallowed his saliva, thinking that anyone who didn't know would think he was the old man's grandson.
"This..."
Yu Yu's voice interrupted Cao Yang's thoughts. He saw Yu Yu covering her mouth, her eyes fixed on a spot.
Following Yu Yu's gaze, Cao Yang was also taken aback.
The cigarette that Jiang Cheng had lit before had burned out, leaving only a little spark, as if someone had smoked it clean in one breath.
Seeing this scene, Cao Yang also immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times to the old man respectfully.
Yu Yu didn't want to be left behind.
Without knowing why, Cao Yang felt relaxed after kowtowing, and the chill that had been lingering beside him had also dissipated a lot.
The following things were much simpler. Jiang Cheng quickly examined the old man's body.
"No obvious wounds." Jiang Cheng covered the old man's face with the white cloth again, then slowly pushed him back in. "It should be a normal death."
Everyone understood that Jiang Cheng's so-called normal death meant that it had nothing to do with ghosts.
From the results, former Director Zhang Zhaowei did not participate in the evil deeds in Ward 624, otherwise the ghost would not have let him go.
What he did was cover up the truth after the incident, and at the same time find a good home for Xiang Nan's daughter, Zhao Ru.
He had done something wrong, but it would be biased to say that he was a completely bad person.
Before leaving, Jiang Cheng seemed to suddenly think of something, turned around, and reached out to open another mortuary cabinet next to Zhang Zhaowei's.
Inside was also an old man, slightly fat and not very tall.
It was the short, fat old man who had been playing cards with Zhang Zhaowei and lost, his face covered with paper strips.
Remembering what Zhang Zhaowei had said to him, that he was a regular in this hospital, and that he was glad to have a few old buddies with him.
It seemed that the corpses in the mortuary cabinets nearby had a pretty good neighborhood relationship.
They quickly left the morgue. The moment they closed the iron door of the morgue, everyone's tense mood eased slightly.
Fortunately, nothing happened.
Cao Yang looked at Jiang Cheng with admiration, and sincerely believed that those few kowtows had been indispensable.
"Let's go."
Jiang Cheng led the two quickly to the elevator. Fortunately, the elevator was still on the basement floor and had not left.
But just after pressing the elevator button, after a few seconds, everyone noticed something was wrong.
The elevator door... did not open.
"What's going on?" In a panic, Cao Yang reached out and pressed it a few more times, but the elevator door was like it had been welded together, and didn't move at all.
At the same time, at the end of the corridor, there was a strange rubbing sound, like a very large drawer being pulled open bit by bit.
Not just one...
Yu Yu's pupils suddenly shrank. That was... the direction of the morgue!
