Chapter 1339 Mass Grave
Chen Mu's proposal immediately received responses from several people.
Anyway, it is broad daylight now and the female ghost has just killed someone, so it is the safest time.
Walk up the stairs and you might find some clues.
Under the leadership of Chen Mu, the players turned around and headed towards the stairs.
There are many elderly people in the nursing home, and for them, walking up stairs is a very tiring task.
Therefore, everyone would rather spend more time waiting for the elevator.
There are very few elderly people walking up the stairs.
The stairwell is located at the end of the corridor and is dimly lit. There are no windows in the stairwell, so even if there is light outside, it is still pitch black inside.
Seeing the dim stairwell, a sense of nervousness spread.
"Boss, I'll go ahead." Xiao Shi said proactively.
"Stay aside." Chen Mu said. He had several props in his hand and his ability to survive was much stronger than Xiao Shi's.
In the dim stairwell, the walls are covered with mottled marks, which show that they have been eroded by time.
There were a lot of miscellaneous items piled up on both sides of the stairwell.
Like cardboard boxes, benches, old brooms...
The air was filled with a musty smell, and in the dark staircase, it seemed as if a pair of eyes were staring at everyone.
After going up three flights of stairs, when they reached the fourth floor, Chen Mu, who was walking in front, suddenly paused.
He felt like he was stepping on a slender cylinder, like... a human arm.
"Is there a body here?"
Chen Mu muttered and leaned over to take a closer look.
The people following behind him all gasped.
Fortunately, Chen Mu took a closer look and found that it was just a broken mop.
After the false alarm, the players also reached the fifth floor.
Pushing open the door of the stairwell and seeing the dim corridor again, they felt a sense of familiarity.
Compared to the dark stairs, the corridor seems less scary.
"I think I probably know why the dean didn't take us up the stairs." Chen Mu said slowly.
"Why?" Jiao Yixue asked subconsciously. He thought Chen Mu had discovered some secret in the stairwell.
"You're stupid." Xue Xuexue glared at him. "The stairwell is dirty, dark, and broken. Would you take guests here? You must have taken the elevator."
As soon as these words were spoken, several people laughed.
The reason why the dean didn't take away the stairwell was simple and straightforward.
There is no secret in the stairwell at all. It is simply too dirty because no one has used it or maintained it for a long time.
Chen Mu and others returned to the room and began to collect Cui Ning's body.
Cui Ning was torn into six pieces by five horses.
As the players personally carried Cui Ning piece by piece into the body bag, the sight of a living person being broken into pieces was chilling.
"The female ghost dismembered Cui Ning. Could this tragic death be related to the female ghost's way of death?" Xue Xuexue said.
"Not necessarily. Weird methods are always cruel, and it's possible that someone would kill someone simply to vent their anger," said Zhang Shanyi.
Soon, Cui Ning's six body parts were sealed in body bags.
There were two players in front and back, and one in the middle holding hands to lift the body bag.
When we were taking the elevator downstairs, the elderly people around us saw the body bag and their eyes were filled with regret and pity.
"What a young girl."
"Yeah, I heard he was murdered just because he was wearing a watch."
"You still have to be careful."
Some kind old people reminded Chen Mu and others to be more careful.
Chen Mu also responded enthusiastically to the kindness of the elderly.
During the conversation, Chen Mu judged the credibility of the old man's words based on his words and actions.
Chen Mu discovered that these elderly people were not performing and were in a very natural state.
When asked about their opinions on Shanqing Nursing Home, the elderly people were full of praise, which came from their heartfelt gratitude.
The players carried the body bags out of the main building, crossed the large courtyard outside, and walked along a secluded path towards the cemetery of the nursing home.
When we arrived at the cemetery, we looked around and saw forty or fifty graves.
A tombstone was erected on each grave, recording the deceased's name, date of birth and death, and the length of time he or she had lived in the nursing home.
Chen Mu and his companions picked up shovels and started digging next to a large cemetery.
Soon, a pit one person deep was dug out.
The black body bag was placed in the pit and buried with a shovel.
"A good person is gone just like that. I hope she is the last one." Jiao Yixiu said.
"Don't set promises randomly, or they might come true." Xue Xuexue reminded.
After burying Cui Ning, Chen Mu walked around the cemetery.
He found that there was a huge deep pit next to each grave.
There were many scattered bones in the deep pit, and it looked like a mass grave.
"Director Qi said that the nursing home was originally a mass grave, built on top of a cemetery. This deep pit must be the former mass grave."
Chen Mu analyzed. He looked at the bones faintly visible in the mass grave. Many of them were slightly exposed, while many more were buried in the soil.
After burying Cui Ning, the players turned back to the main building.
On the way, Chen Mu and others began to discuss the next steps.
"The most urgent task now is to find out whether Xiao Zhang killed his mother." Chen Mu said, "If Xiao Zhang didn't, then we must change our strategy.
Our ultimate goal is to protect Xiao Zhang and help him survive five days in the nursing home.
It's only been a day, and we've already lost one person. Xiao Zhang, however, is still safe and sound. Our primary mission is to protect Xiao Zhang.
I think when Xiao Zhang is in danger, that’s when things really get difficult.”
Xiao Shi said, "Boss, you mean that we are not even strong enough right now?"
Chen Mu nodded. "At best, it can only be considered a warm-up. The real main line of protecting Xiao Zhang has not yet begun."
It was only the first encounter with the female ghost, and before Xiao Zhang was in danger, one of the players had already died.
It is conceivable that the difficulty of this strange mission seems to be higher than ever before.
Protect Xiao Zhang...How will the female ghost attack Xiao Zhang?
Chen Mu didn’t know, and neither did the other players.
Everyone decided to use other elderly people in the nursing home as a breakthrough point.
I learned detailed information about Xiao Zhang and his mother from other elderly people.
Chen Mu and his men split into three groups: Chen Mu and Xiao Shi in one group; Jiao Yixue and Xue Xuexue in another group; and Zhang Shanyi in a group alone.
The three groups of people split up and each looked for the old man to ask questions.
Chen Muben thought it would be difficult to get any information out of him.
When the elderly hear about Xiao Zhang's situation, they will most likely refuse to answer or be reluctant to mention it.
This is a common trope in many horror films.
However, what Chen Mu did not expect was that the development of things was far beyond his expectations.
