Jiang Cheng didn't answer. He knew that the words he was about to hear would be truly useful.

"During the building renovation, workers accidentally discovered a secret room after moving a heavy cabinet."

"In the secret room, there were strangely shaped candlesticks with white candles inserted in them, forming a bizarre shape."

"Later, we learned that the shape was called a hexagram."

"At each point of the hexagram, there was a chair, and on the wall facing the chair, there was a dark red velvet cloth."

"When the workers removed the cloth, they found a large mirror behind it, about the height of a person, with a thick, black solid wood frame."

Hearing about the mirror on the wall and the chairs around it, Jiang Cheng immediately thought of the warehouse in the activity center.

The layout of both was almost the same, as if they were performing some kind of ritual.

He had a feeling that they were getting closer and closer to the source of the weirdness.

At this point, Director Zhou's expression became even more solemn, and the look in his eyes towards Jiang Cheng became strange, even a little fearful, "This isn't the strangest thing. The workers... the workers also found some other things in that secret room."

"What things?" Jiang Cheng asked softly. He didn't want to press too hard, for fear of agitating the kind librarian.

"Corpses." Director Zhou subconsciously tightened his collar, his voice different from before. "Not adults, but the corpses of infants."

"Soaked in glass jars, like... like the kind used in medical exhibition halls." Director Zhou tried to explain to Jiang Cheng, "Many, many. I heard there were dozens of them, large and small, fetuses of various stages."

"The glass jars were placed on shelves, one next to the other. It is said that the largest fetus had already grown a lot of hair."

Director Zhou's words quickly formed a picture in Fatty's mind: fetuses of varying sizes floating up and down in glass jars, and every now and then, one or two naughty ones would suddenly open their eyes, as if to greet him.

Fatty shivered and moved his chair closer to Jiang Cheng.

"The workers who went in first had never seen anything like this before. When they shone their flashlights on it, they were so frightened that they scrambled out and called the police."

"Later, news came from the police that after examination, these infants had lost their vital signs before being made into specimens."

"In other words, they were all stillborn."

"But the source was problematic. This foreigner bought them back through illegal transactions from a nearby maternity hospital."

"After the police arrived, they carefully inspected the secret room. I heard they also found a lot of messy things inside."

"Strangely shaped silverware, some bottles and jars containing unknown things, and the rest were books, a lot of books."

"In short, it was like a small laboratory."

"As the police investigation deepened, they unexpectedly discovered that there was also a problem with the identity of this foreign man."

"The identity he used was fake. The person whose name he used had died many years ago. He was an imposter."

"After grasping this solid evidence, the police quickly rushed to the hospital."

"But this man had been in a coma since the last incident, and the doctor said he wasn't sure when he would wake up."

"The police had no choice but to tell the doctor to notify them immediately if the patient showed any signs of waking up."

"But unexpectedly, that night, the nurse on duty found that the man was gone during rounds. The hospital searched all night, but couldn't find him."

Director Zhou exhaled, looking at Jiang Cheng with a meaningful look, "The next day, he was found here, in that secret room."

"When he was found, he was already dead."

"Dead again..." Fatty revealed an expression of 'what the hell, it's like this again'.

"Again?" Director Zhou tilted his head in confusion, looking at Fatty's chubby face, his face full of curiosity.

Just as Fatty looked nervous and Jiang Cheng was rapidly thinking about how to smooth things over for Fatty, Director Zhou's next sentence interrupted all their thoughts.

"How did you know that the dead person wasn't the only one?" Director Zhou stared at Fatty, surprised.

Fatty: "I..."

"He guessed." Jiang Cheng hurriedly changed the subject, speaking seriously, "Director, did something happen to other people besides this man?"

Director Zhou gave Fatty a strange look up and down. Perhaps seeing that he was dull and didn't look like someone who could keep a secret, he let him go and turned to look at Jiang Cheng, lowering his voice, "Don't interrupt me. Let me finish."

"This man died in the secret room, but the state of his death..." Director Zhou paused, pursing his lips and saying, "was very strange."

"He was lying in the center of the secret room, his feet facing the mirror, without any injuries on his body. His eyes were closed, his expression peaceful, and his hands were folded on his abdomen, with a large silver cross pressed under his hands. He looked like... like he was asleep."

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng's pupils trembled slightly, while Fatty gasped. They were familiar with this kind of death.

Xiao Ting, and Xiao Lin last night, were found like this, even their bodies were still warm.

"Later, people found a few lines of words next to the mirror. They weren't there before, so this man must have left them."

"We found teachers at the school who understood foreign languages to look at them, but they said they couldn't understand them, they didn't recognize them. Later, we took pictures and sent them to several old professors at the Da Jing City Research Institute, asking them to help us take a look."

"But unexpectedly..." Director Zhou shook his head, "This caused an uproar."

"A few days later, early one morning, a group of people suddenly came, about a dozen of them, all wearing black trench coats and black leather shoes. A middle-aged man with gray hair led the team, and the others were young people in their early 20s."

"They didn't say hello to us before they came, they directly drove all the construction workers out and took over the scene."

"The police were also there, helping them maintain order."

"Then, I don't know if they heard something, but they started to count the workers one by one."

"At that time, because we were rushing the construction period, several floors were being built simultaneously, and all the workers from various projects added up to about 100 people. It was very difficult to manage them."

"But after this count, everyone was dumbfounded." Director Zhou hesitated for a few seconds before saying in a low voice, "Several people were missing."

"The person in charge of the construction site was directly stunned, stammering that he had seen them yesterday afternoon, so how could they be gone overnight?"
