The Body Storage Room was instantly thrown into chaos, and Zhao Zipeng and the other bodyguards had no intention of protecting Tian Long and Li Shengwu any longer.
Tian Long watched as the bodyguards ran faster than he did, his anger boiling over. He grabbed Zhao Zipeng by the arm and shouted, "Hey, weren't you hired to protect me? I demand that you stop that kid and let me leave first!"
"Let go of me; I don't want your money anymore. Don't worry, I'll pay the breach of contract fee," Zhao Zipeng said, shaking off Tian Long's hand with determination. Without hesitation, he sprinted even faster toward the exit of the Body Storage Room.
If they had encountered a group of armed thugs, the bodyguards would have certainly stepped in to protect Tian Long and Li Shengwu. However, facing a corpse, they were just ordinary people—not Taoist Masters—and while they weren't particularly superstitious, when it came to ghosts or monsters, their only instinct was to run for their lives.
"Wait for me! Oh my God, wait for me! Let me go first!" Li Shengwu screamed shrilly. Despite his voice sounding effeminate, he was surprisingly fast, leading the pack as they fled.
After three or four seconds, Li Shengwu burst out of the Body Storage Room alongside the bodyguards. They shone their flashlights in the direction of the exit and quickly made their way toward it.
Just then, a loud noise echoed from within the Body Storage Room. Li Shengwu and the others stopped and turned back to see Tian Long had fallen at the entrance, with two overturned tables beside him.
"Wait for me! Please!" Tian Long's voice was filled with terror. Just moments ago, he had been walking fine when suddenly he felt two icy hands grip his right foot. He hadn't been able to steady himself in time and fell to the ground.
"Someone come help me! I think I twisted my ankle!" Tian Long cried out in pain, cold sweat beading on his forehead as he reached out for someone to assist him.
Zhao Zipeng, the leader of the bodyguards, felt a pang of sympathy at the sight of Tian Long's predicament. A flicker of hesitation crossed his eyes. After a moment's thought, he gritted his teeth and turned back around, striding toward Tian Long.
"Big brother, thank you so much! I really appreciate it!" Tian Long exclaimed with a rare smile as he saw Zhao Zipeng approaching.
However, just as Zhao Zipeng took two steps forward, a loud crash echoed from above. A figure suddenly fell from the ceiling, hanging in mid-air and blocking Zhao Zipeng's path.
The figure before him was indeed the corpse that Sun Qiang had seen earlier, the one that had hanged itself.
"Ah! This... this is a dead person!" Li Shengwu screamed instinctively upon seeing the figure, then turned and ran desperately towards the exit of the mortuary, completely unconcerned about Tian Long.
"Tian Long, good luck to you! I'm out of here!" Zhao Zipeng exclaimed as he saw the suddenly appearing corpse. He was so frightened that goosebumps covered his body, especially since the corpse was only a finger's distance from his head. He had no idea why that corpse was lying on the flower board.
Zhao Zipeng swallowed hard, glanced at Tian Long, and then without hesitation, he dashed towards the exit of the mortuary.
"Don't leave me here alone! Please, just take me out, I'll pay you, I'll give you a lot of money!" Tian Long shouted loudly at Zhao Zipeng's retreating figure, but Zhao Zipeng showed no signs of stopping.
After about seven or eight seconds, Li Shengwu and the others had vanished from sight in the corridor outside the Body Storage Room; all that could be heard were faint footsteps echoing from a distance.
"Damn it, a bunch of ingrates! Once I get out of here, I'm going to report all of you. I will make sure you regret it!" Tian Long muttered bitterly to himself as he struggled to get up from the ground. He picked up a steel pipe from the floor and shone his flashlight on the corpse outside the Body Storage Room, speaking coldly: "Now I want to see who dares to stop me! I’ll stand right here; if Buddhas block my way, I’ll kill Buddhas; if ghosts block me, I’ll kill ghosts!"
With that, Tian Long limped towards the exit of the Body Storage Room, exuding a faint aura of menace. Having been left behind alone, he was initially terrified but found that he was not as afraid anymore.
"Wow~~ Uncle, don’t go! Play with me for a while!" At that moment, the child's crying echoed again from inside the Body Storage Room, accompanied by more voices.
Upon hearing that cry, Tian Long's body trembled slightly. However, he quickly regained his composure and turned around with his flashlight aimed at the Freezer behind him, shouting loudly: "Shut up! If you keep crying, I'll drag you out and smash your head!"
As soon as Tian Long finished speaking, the crying from inside the Freezer ceased; it was as if the dead child had been frightened into silence by him.
"Hmph! It's just a dead person! I'm not afraid of living people; why should I be scared of a dead one?" Tian Long muttered to himself. Seeing that he had intimidated that ghost gave him newfound confidence. He turned back around and continued walking towards the exit of the Body Storage Room with his steel pipe in hand.
"Hey? Where did the corpse that was hanging at the door go?" Tian Long shone his flashlight in that direction, only to find that the body had vanished. He quickly scanned the surroundings with the flashlight, but there was no trace of the corpse.
A sense of foreboding washed over Tian Long. He held the steel pipe in front of him and shouted loudly, "Damn it, come at me if you dare! I'm not afraid of you!"
"Kid, you're young, why are you so angry? That's not good; it can lead to a short life." An elderly voice suddenly came from behind Tian Long. He furrowed his brow and turned the flashlight in that direction. To his horror, he saw the old man who had been lying in the black bag suddenly sit up, staring at him with wide eyes.
"Bang bang~~" That wasn't all; beside him, Freezer emitted a series of sounds as more than half of the drawers opened on their own. Pale arms reached out from inside, and soon a dozen corpses crawled out.
"Haha, kid, what kind of skill is it to bully children? Try cursing at me!"
"I didn't expect anyone to disturb my sleep even after death. It seems I have to kill you so I can rest peacefully for a while."
"Haha, we're here; keep cursing! I promise not to kill you."
The voices of the corpses were eerie as they moved their stiff bodies toward Tian Long.
