Chapter 354 8, Organ Predators
In the dark organ storage room, Hoffa and the girl looked at each other through a glass bottle containing a heart. Looking at each other, Hoffa felt his palms start to sweat. He didn't know why this gentle-looking girl could bring him so much pressure. But he really didn't want to cut open the heart in front of him.
Finally, just when Hoffa could hardly hold back, the girl chose to compromise.
"Hmph. You're so boring."
She pulled her hand away and muttered unhappily.
Hoffa breathed a long sigh of relief, and secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was really afraid that the other party would cut the heart in half in half to find an unfounded stone.
Unable to cut open the heart, the girl held the lighter and walked along the storage cabinet where the heart was placed, picking up the glass bottles from the cabinet from time to time, looking at them at 360 degrees, trying to find magic or stone-like things from them traces of existence.
However, these hearts are very healthy, there is no trace of abnormality at all, let alone stones, there is not even a hair on them. After searching around, the girl who found nothing stopped and pursed her lips, as if she was thinking about something.
Hoffa couldn't stand the eerie atmosphere of this place anymore, he suggested in a low voice: "I said, let's go to other places to see, this place doesn't look like magic at all."
Girl: "Are you scared?"
Hoffa: "If you're not afraid, there will be ghosts. Aren't you afraid?"
"What's so scary about a bunch of organs?"
As she said that, she giggled and said with a smile: "Why are you so useless, why don't you ask me, if you ask me, I don't mind protecting you~"
Seeing her cola-like appearance, Hoffa didn't know what she was enjoying. At this time, footsteps came from behind him again, and his complexion changed slightly. He immediately blew out the lighter in the girl's hand, covered the girl's mouth and pressed her to the corner, not letting her move.
Just when Hoffa had finished all this, two dazzling lights came from the darkness. In the light, two men in white coats, one tall and one short, appeared. The tall one walked in front, while the short one Behind him was pushing a small cart with three rolls of black waterproof bags stacked on it.
The two walked and chatted.
The tall one said: "There are only three, it's too slow. It's still during the war, and no one cares about dozens of them a day."
"Who told the Germans not to fight?"
The short man said in a low voice: "Now the market pressure is increasing, and business in England is not easy. If you want to make a lot of money, you have to find some other ways."
(After the sound of clicking, the big iron door was locked again. Two beams of light swept across the hiding place of Hoffa and the girl less than one meter away. Hoffa was so frightened that he quickly pressed the girl's head, and the two squatted together On the ground, I dare not move.)
"The whole world is tired, where else can we fight?"
The tall man said angrily, "God knows when the next fight will be."
"Do you have to fight a war? You can still separate a group of people and slaughter them like the Germans. That's the way to make real money." The dwarf sneered.
"Yeah, that's really fun."
The tall one said melancholy.
"But I heard that someone seems to be preparing to fight against wizards. I don't know if it's true. If it's true, we can make a lot of money again," said the short man.
"Wizard, what is that?"
"who knows."
The beam of light did not reach them, probably because the two of them never expected that someone would be hiding in this place. They were talking, pushing the cart and passed in front of Hoffa. Then, the ground was opened by the tall man, and a secret passage leading to the ground was revealed. The tall man and the short man pushed the cart and disappeared into the secret passage .
It wasn't until the light completely disappeared that Hoffa's tense nerves slowly relaxed.
Suddenly, a tingling pain came from the palm of his hand, and he hissed away. It turned out that the girl had bitten his hand mercilessly.
"What did you bite me for?" Hoffa asked in a low voice.
"Am I a fool? You need to cover my mouth like this!" The girl whispered angrily.
Hoffa realized his faux pas and whispered, "I'm sorry."
"If you cover my mouth again, I will bite you to death!"
The girl whispered in his ear.
It's strange, although the words are very fierce, but the tone is a little provocative. But that hint of teasing is more frightening than real cruel words. Hoffa's brain was instantly covered in severe pain. He shivered, covered his head, his face was pale, and he dared not speak.
Fortunately, it was pitch black and no one saw his reaction.
The girl lit the lighter again and came to the iron gate, but the iron gate was locked at this moment. The two fiddled with the iron door lock a few times, but they couldn't break the chain. The lock is made of old-fashioned hinges and is very heavy.
"What to do, we can't get out."
Hoffa said.
"Will you sneak behind those two weirdos when they go out?"
The girl said: "It seems that there is no other way."
Hoffa thought for a while, but did not think of any other way, so he nodded. So they found a hidden cabinet by the door and hid, planning to follow after the two men left.
However, they waited for a long time but still could not wait for the two people to come out again. Not only that, the temperature in this secret room began to drop continuously. At first, the drop in temperature was still tolerable, but soon, the temperature dropped below zero, and a thin layer of frost condensed on the surface of the glass jars on the shelf.
The clothes on Hoffa's body didn't have many functions to keep warm, not to mention that his jeans had a few holes. The cold almost didn't freeze him to death, and the whole person hugged his shoulders and kept shivering.
The girl next to her wasn't any better either. She crouched in a corner, exhaled white air continuously, and shivered as she exhaled, "Why. What's the matter? It's so cold."
"I. How. How do I know?"
Hoffa said tremblingly, his teeth chattering.
"It's all your fault. It's all your fault." The girl said bitterly, "This... this is me. I have to be planted in this place."
"Ah...?"
Hoffa never thought that the girl would blame him, obviously she was the one who insisted on entering this weird building to find some kind of heart stone, otherwise how could they have ended up in this situation.
But Hoffa was not in the mood to argue with the girl, he was only thinking about how to get out of this weird place.
The temperature is getting lower and lower, and everything in the room is rapidly freezing. Even some white flocculent crystals were precipitated from the formalin liquid with extremely low freezing point. As the temperature dropped, Hoffa's thinking speed also slowly slowed down.
Are you going to freeze to death in this weird building?
It seems that there is something important left undone
He thought dully.
"Hello"
In the severe cold, the girl stuck to Hoffa and poked him with her elbow: "Do you remember anything?"
"What what."
"remember.remember what.important.information"
Hoffa didn't know it was this time, the girl suddenly asked him such a thing. He subconsciously thought about it, but he found nothing except a severe headache.
"Why"
Seeing him covering his head and not speaking, the girl let out a long and trembling sigh.
"Then it seems that we can only go inside."
"inside"
Hoffa grumbled.
The girl raised her hand tremblingly, pointing to the opening of the secret passage where the tall and the short disappeared. Hoffa stared at the secret passage, hesitant. Of course he thought about entering the secret path, but judging from the conversation between those two people, he could vaguely feel that those two people were not good friends, and he didn't want to take the initiative to touch their bad luck. More importantly, if the temperature in the secret passage is as low, wouldn't it be dead.
It was obvious that the girl had no intention of discussing it with him. After making a decision, she slowly crawled forward. Seeing this, Hoffa had to follow behind her. At this moment, the gate is locked, and if the girl is found and caught, he will not escape an unknown fate.
The two shivering with cold came to the secret passage, slowly opened the wooden boards on the ground, and saw a passage slanting downward. There were faint white lights on both walls of the passage. Although the temperature was very low, it was obviously higher than the temperature in the secret room.
Feeling the temperature in the passage, Hoffa breathed a sigh of relief, he and the girl hurried into the secret passage, each holding their arms and shivering.
After shaking in the secret passage for a while, Hoffa finally felt that some temperature had recovered, but only relatively speaking, the passage was still very cold. This time he didn't hesitate, and walked forward voluntarily by touching the passage, because he knew that even if he didn't go, the girl would go forward.
The passage wasn't too long, and the temperature slowly rose after he didn't go far. However, as the temperature rose, he could smell a faint smell of blood in the air. This bloody smell made Hoffa feel familiar. It seemed that he had dealt with blood a long time ago, but this familiarity came from the nasal cavity, not from the brain. He could not recall the specific incident.
At the end of the passage, the temperature was still around freezing point, but it was much better than the place where he just entered. There was a double door with glass, mottled with brown blood.
Hoffa looked into the glass with his head poking his head, and after only one glance, he turned his head with a tense face. The scene in the passage was very penetrating.
The previous two tall and short men had already put on black rubber coats and rubber shoes, and were dissecting a man under the spotlight. The man was disemboweled and hung on an iron hook. One of the important organs was taken out. There is no left, blood is flowing everywhere, obviously the dead can't die anymore.
The girl also glanced at the glass window, and then she turned her head pale and whispered in a whisper: "Am I dreaming?"
Hoffa also had doubts in his heart. After all, he still remembered that before he woke up from the train, he seemed to have had a long, long dream. So long that he lost his memory. Perhaps now, he is still in a terrifying nightmare.
Cold fingers pinched Hoffa's face, and he stared at the girl in front of him with wide eyes. I saw the girl's fingers suddenly exert force, and the huge pain was transmitted from the nerves to the brain. In order to prevent himself from screaming, Hoffa bit his lower lip, then he forcibly pulled the girl's hand away, and asked her with his mouth.
"what you do?"
"Does it hurt?" The girl asked back with her mouth.
"What do you think?" Hoffa's face twitched in pain.
"Then we don't seem to be dreaming!" the girl mouthed.
"Then why don't you pinch yourself!"
Hoffa silently questioned the girl with an exaggerated mouth shape.
The girl didn't answer, she turned her head and continued to look at the scene inside the glass. The short man was putting a kidney into a rubber bag, and the rubber bag was placed in an iron bucket. The iron bucket was divided into two layers, the outer layer was filled with crushed ice, and the temperature was very low. The inner layer is used to place the organs.
Afterwards, the tall man took off the iron hook, and the corpse with its internal organs slid down the ice trough and fell into a giant iron bucket. Then, they pulled a pack of black rubber bags from the trolley, and hung them on the iron ring under the action of the pulley rope.
The tall man opened the plastic bag, and inside it was a man whose whole body was wrapped in bandages. The man was hung on the iron hook without any resistance.
So the tall one asked, "How long have you been dead?"
"It shouldn't be long before he died."
"Hurry up, or the organs won't work."
Subtle voices came from inside the door to the ears of the two outside the door, and the girl whispered through the glass door: "My dear, these two guys are stealing human organs."
