“It’s the lost brain tissue of those children!” Tang Qisheng realized instantly, looking at the densely packed glass jars. He found it hard to imagine what the murderer was planning.

Several blood vessels extended from each glass jar, eventually converging into a huge vat in the center of the secret room.

The vat had a stone-like texture and was not transparent. From Tang Qisheng's position, he couldn't see what was inside at all. He grabbed the blood vessels next to the door frame and climbed up. This time, he finally saw clearly. A large chunk of milky white, rotten flesh was suspended in the vat.

No, that’s not right, that’s…that’s also brain tissue, but from a giant head!

“It’s…it’s Rotting Flesh Dean’s head! This is its brain!” Tang Qisheng was certain that the brain must come from that deformed, giant, shattered head.

Things became even more bizarre. He couldn't understand what Rotting Flesh Dean wanted with so much brain tissue, even sacrificing its own brain. It was like a horrifying experiment.

“Ugh…”

The next second, Tang Qisheng's tense brow couldn't help but twitch, and his pupils suddenly constricted. He actually saw a face emerging from that disgusting mass of giant brain tissue.

“Jiang…Jiang Cheng!”

Tang Qisheng opened his mouth wide. He never would have thought that he would see Jiang Cheng in this situation. Not only Jiang Cheng, but Wang Fugui was also there.

Jiang Cheng closed his eyes tightly, as if thinking, while the corner of Wang Fugui's eye twitched from time to time.

They were not dead, but rather asleep, trapped in a dream that was extremely difficult to wake from.

The enormous visual impact stunned Tang Qisheng for a moment. He couldn't help but feel a little scared. If he had chosen to leave with Zhu Jie not long ago, what kind of ending would Jiang Cheng and Wang Fugui have faced?

Without making a sound, after taking a few deep breaths, Tang Qisheng forced himself to calm down. Although he really wanted to rush in and rescue the two of them immediately, he had to figure out what this place was first.

Moreover, after calming down, he realized that he couldn't be sure whether the Jiang Cheng and Wang Fugui inside were real, or just another trap set by the dean.

He thought for a moment and continued to climb up, then tore away the dense, vine-like blood vessels. Finally, he found a curled-up sign.

“Mental Lab…”

For some reason, the words "mental" deeply stung Tang Qisheng's nerves.

He subconsciously turned his head away from the two words, but just as he reached out, intending to rub his temples to relieve the discomfort, a scene caught in the corner of his eye instantly stunned him, and the blood in the blood vessels seemed to have congealed into ice.

A large mass of humanoid rotten flesh stood silently at the door, its face looking into the room.

It was the dean!

Looking at the huge iron hook in the dean's hand, Tang Qisheng knew that he had been tricked. The other party had obviously realized that someone had broken into its territory before and chose to leave, but it was just to lure him into a trap, then launch a surprise attack and catch him like a turtle in a jar!

Now the situation took a turn for the worse. He was trapped in the dean's office, and it seemed only a matter of time before he was dragged out.

Seemingly realizing that he had been discovered, the dean's movements gradually became bolder. It twisted its body and moved towards the desk, constantly changing postures along the way to avoid the silver threads connected to the bells.

It was clear that the dean was incredibly familiar with this office. But the only good news for now was that it couldn't immediately confirm his location.

Moreover, after the dean left, it vacated the position of the door again. Tang Qisheng decided that he had to rush out. Only by leaving this dean's office and getting to the spacious outside would he have a chance to survive.

As for Jiang Cheng and Wang Fugui, who were trapped, he would find a way to come back.

The dean groped up and down the desk with its rotten, bone-exposed hands until it opened the bottom drawer. Suddenly, the dean burst out with an angry roar that almost shattered Tang Qisheng's eardrums.

Tang Qisheng shrank into the corner, covering his ears tightly. He knew he had been exposed. The other party actually remembered the number and location of those glass beads. This was something he hadn't expected.

After confirming the intruder, the dean locked the drawer and turned to walk towards the storage cabinet that hid the secret room. Tang Qisheng bent down and crawled towards the bottom of the desk with both hands and feet.

He had calculated in his heart that when the dean discovered that the storage cabinet outside the secret room had been moved, it would likely open the door to check. At that time, he could take the opportunity to sneak away.

The desk was not far from the door of the dean's office, so the plan seemed to have a high chance of success.

But just as he was about to approach the desk, suddenly, a gust of wind came from behind. The dean, who had discovered that the storage cabinet had been moved, did not immediately check the secret room, but turned around and rushed towards the desk. It waved its rotten arms, constantly attacking around the desk, and then quickly scratched at the space under the desk.

Tang Qisheng was so frightened that his face turned green. If…if he hadn't hesitated just now and had moved a little faster, then he would have been hiding under the table at this moment, and without a doubt, he would have been caught by the dean.

Not catching the intruder, the dean's temper became even more irritable. It kept smashing everything around it. Wooden cabinets were smashed to pieces, and fragments splashed everywhere. Tang Qisheng curled up in the corner, not daring to make a sound.

The next second, the dean rushed into the secret room with the Mental Lab sign. The iron door, which looked very solid, was smashed open, and strange "glug glug" sounds came from inside.

Tang Qisheng did not dare to hesitate. He quickly hid under the desk, the area that had just been searched by the dean for the second time.

He did not rush out of the door immediately because he had discovered another trap set by the dean. He stared at the position of the door, and there was a faint shadow on the ground.

There was something hidden behind the seemingly unguarded door. The chandelier in the corridor exposed the existence of that thing!

The shadow was not big, and Tang Qisheng judged that it was likely a child.

If he hesitated any longer, he would be found sooner or later. Although he knew the risk was great, Tang Qisheng had no choice. After thinking about it, he took out a glass bead from his pocket and carefully threw it towards the door.

This glass bead did not disappoint and finally stopped at the position where the iron door was opened.

Tang Qisheng's brow twitched. He clearly saw the shadow tremble, as if it was attracted by the glass bead. About 10 seconds later, a withered arm suddenly stretched out from behind the door and grabbed the glass bead in its hand.

After a while, a girl in a red dress with distorted features walked out from behind the door. At this moment, a glass bead was already embedded in her right eye socket.

The girl tentatively took a step towards the door, then lay on the ground, groping with both hands, seemingly wanting to find another one to fill her left eye socket as well.

“There’s a way!” Tang Qisheng was overjoyed and took out another glass bead from his pocket.
