Chapter 1 Explaining Paper Figures

Explaining the paper figure matter as quickly as possible, Yao Shunyu was stunned at first, then quickly reacted upon hearing it. "Killing and arson bring a golden belt, repairing bridges and roads leave no corpses behind." These two sentences clearly correspond to the four tasks they face tonight.

Repairing bridges and roads results in death without a complete corpse, while the seemingly dangerous tasks of killing and arson are actually safe. This could not help but fill Yao Shunyu with lingering fear.

"That mad monk is a key figure. You can get clues about our world from him." Yao Shunyu said after organizing his thoughts, "Now it seems that the notes I and Li Bai got must also be useful. If you don't need them, perhaps Tang Qisheng and Zhu Jie will."

"That should be the case. Our respective worlds have intersections." After figuring this out, Jiang Cheng relaxed a lot. At least it proved that their investigation direction was correct.

But the next second, Jiang Cheng suddenly frowned.

*Tzzzz...*

*Tzzzz...*

A strange electrical noise suddenly came from the phone. After waiting for a few seconds, the electrical noise not only did not disappear, but intensified. In the crackling sound, there seemed to be another strange noise mixed in.

A sense of unspeakable crisis suddenly arose in Jiang Cheng's heart. He told the information he got from the monk Huicong as quickly as possible, including some of his guesses.

Upon learning that others had sneaked in, Yao Shunyu's idea was the same as Jiang Cheng's. At this juncture, the only ones who could come to disrupt the situation were the Night Watchmen.

And those carefully cultivated second-generation Shen Hong (Crimson) were undoubtedly the best pawns.

Before Yao Shunyu could ask anything else, the phone was suddenly hung up. The fat man on the other end of the phone looked at Jiang Cheng, who was sweating on his forehead, with a puzzled expression, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Cheng suddenly hung up the phone. The fat man saw it very clearly, and at that time he could still vaguely hear Yao Shunyu's voice coming from inside.

After a moment, the fat man seemed to suddenly react, his face changed drastically, "Yao Shunyu is fake, the person on the other end... the person on the other end is a ghost? Is that ghost trying to trick us?"

"No, it's the interference in the phone..." Jiang Cheng's face was a little unsightly. After a long while, he continued, "I heard it, I heard the sound of chanting."

The fat man was stunned for a moment, then suddenly shivered.

Before Jiang Cheng and the fat man could catch their breath, the phone vibrated again. This time, it was Tang Qisheng's number. After hesitating for a few seconds, Jiang Cheng pressed the answer button.

The call was connected. As when facing Yao Shunyu, Jiang Cheng kept his mouth shut and did not speak. So did the other side, but the faint sound of breathing still betrayed the nervousness of the person on the other side.

After about 10 seconds, a tentative voice slowly sounded from the other end of the phone, "Is... is it Tomie?"

Hearing Tang Qisheng's voice, Jiang Cheng slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and the fingers holding the phone loosened, "It's us, how are things on your side?"

Hearing Jiang Cheng's voice, Tang Qisheng almost cried. Before, he had made more than a dozen calls to Zhu Jie. Jiang Cheng, Wang Fugui, and even Yao Shunyu and Li Bai, they both had tried to contact them, but they couldn't get through. If they didn't know the details of these people, they would even think that these people were all dead.

"We... we are still alive. There are only Zhu Jie and me here. We were here as soon as we woke up. All four of you are gone." Tang Qisheng's voice was trembling, but he quickly lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of something, "Which floor are you on, the 3rd floor or the 2nd floor? We'll go find you. Let's meet up first and then..."

"We should be in different worlds." Jiang Cheng interrupted him, "Don't ask too much for now, tell me about your situation."

Through the conversation with Yao Shunyu, Jiang Cheng roughly understood that the situation of their three groups was different, and the call time was limited each time. The chanting sound just now still made Jiang Cheng shudder.

After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Tang Qisheng's voice was even lower, "I... I don't know where we are, but it should be a hospital, or... or a sanatorium. We were here as soon as we woke up, lying on a white hospital bed, and we were put in hospital gowns."

Hearing the word hospital, Jiang Cheng naturally thought of the note Yao Shunyu mentioned. Their guess was confirmed. The clues found by Yao Shunyu and Li Bai corresponded to the world where Tang Qisheng and Zhu Jie were.

Tang Qisheng was still talking to himself: "It's very strange here. There are all kinds of rules. You are not allowed to open the door at night, and making loud noises in the corridor will get you taken away and locked up. There are also doctors and nurses coming to check the rooms from time to time."

When mentioning these so-called doctors and nurses, Tang Qisheng's emotions were obviously agitated, "These doctors and nurses are the strangest. They wear masks, their eyes are crescent-shaped, and there are wounds stitched with needles and threads exposed outside. The clothes they wear are also very ill-fitting. Last night, just last night, taking advantage of the nurse's room check, I attracted the nurse's attention and created an opportunity for Zhu Jie. As a result, Zhu Jie stole a peek and saw that the nurse was wearing another piece of clothing inside the nurse uniform, which was the same hospital gown as us!" Tang Qisheng said, panting.

"Hurry up, tell me the most important thing first!"

Jiang Cheng heard Zhu Jie's urging voice from the other end of the phone. The next second, Tang Qisheng seemed to just react, "Yes, yes, I have a very important discovery here. Brother Jiang, you have to be careful. Other people have sneaked into our team this time."

This sentence made Jiang Cheng's eyes light up, which coincided with what he had discovered before, "Tell me more details." He reminded.

Steadying his mind, Tang Qisheng recalled that terrifying experience again, "I told you, there are many strange rules in this hospital. Last night, someone secretly sneaked out against advice, but they didn't know what happened in the middle. They made a noise and were taken away and locked up."

"But this morning, we were asked to gather and visit the exhibition center here. It is said to be an exhibition center, but... it's actually a specimen display room. The display room is very dilapidated, and it's full of various human organ specimens in large glass jars, as well as entire skeletons."

Tang Qisheng's voice trembled when he said these things, "But you absolutely can't imagine how strange these organ specimens and skeletons are. They... they don't seem to be extracted and made by normal medical means. Many of the specimens immersed in the solution have rotted and emit a stench."

"And those skeletons, the skeletons are in twisted poses, and you can clearly see dense knife marks on the bones, just like... just like they were carved into white bones with a carving knife when the person was still alive."
