Ghosts in Medical School Horror Files

Chapter 66

After saying "Xia Xia," the man's face suddenly darkened.

"What about the horror files?" the man asked.

Xia Chen was taken aback again, then explained, "It was already burned in the fire."

The man sneered, then suddenly pointed at Xia Chen's hand and said, "The Horror Files have always been in your hands!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Chen's expression changed drastically.

He witnessed Xuan Xiaotong clutching the legendary "horror file" until her death, and then jumping into the sea of fire while holding the "horror file." Suddenly, the cover of the diary in his hand fell off, revealing a black cover.

Xia Chen's heart sank. This cover was exactly the same as the cover of the terrifying file that Xuan Xiaotong was holding when she died!

Could it be that there are two horror files?

The man seemed to sense Xia Chen's suspicion, and he smiled slightly, pursing his lips.

"Let me tell you a story," the man said.

The story takes place many, many years ago, when Yishi Academy was an ordinary school. At that time, the Xiamen Group had already acquired Yishi Academy, and Xuan Xiaotong's "Nuwa Project" had been launched.

And he is Xuan Xiaotong's husband! The principal of Yishi Academy, the mysterious Mr. X, the archivist of the horror files, and a man who guards his wife's secret!

To document those experiments, he recorded all the secrets in a file, which became known as the Horror Files.

These mysterious days continued for many years. Unexpectedly, the unfortunate Director Wang summoned Tang Ying to investigate. However, what was even more unexpected was that Tang Ying left with the terrifying files. As for why Tang Ying left, and why the terrifying files eventually returned to Xuan Xiaotong's hands, it's all quite easy to explain.

Tang Ying, however, saw the terrifying file and successfully smuggled it out. Don't forget, her employer was Director Wang, who found Tang Ying and retrieved the file.

To prevent the files from being leaked, he retrieved the terrifying files before Director Wang died. He had already foreseen the future, which is why he deliberately left the terrifying files behind when Xia Chen and the others were enjoying the flowers, thus attracting Xia Chen's attention.

Because no one can escape the curse of the Horrible Files! No one who has seen the Horrible Files is allowed to die!

He wants Xia Chen dead!

"Let me tell you a story first. This story is called 'Project Nuwa.' Project Nuwa isn't a book, nor is it a story, because it's real. The fact that Xuan Xiaotong is over a hundred years old and still alive is all thanks to Project Nuwa. But I'm telling you, what you've seen is just the surface. The real Project Nuwa has another purpose!" the man said coldly.

"What?" Xia Chen was dumbfounded. He never expected that after so many people died trying to break the "Nuwa Plan," the answer they found in the end was not the truth.

The man noticed Xia Chen's astonishment. He calmly took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and then gave Xia Chen a disdainful look, saying with extreme contempt:

"Kids, you're all just kids. You're all a bunch of self-righteous children who think you've cracked Nuwa's plan. Let me tell you, you've only seen the tip of the iceberg of Nuwa's plan. In fact, the real Nuwa plan is for Xuan Xiaotong to continue her bloodline."

The man took a drag of his cigarette and said, “Many years ago, Xuan Xiaotong learned a secret technique that could bring the dead back to life. To achieve immortality, Xuan Xiaotong began researching this technique. The strange thing about it is that it prevents the body from decaying. Although the heart cannot recover, the body can still move. Some people call this technique ‘corpse raising.’ In Xuan Xiaotong’s words, although the person is dead, their spirit remains. The spirit of the dead controls everything, and even appears no different from the living. Of course, I am the principal here. That dilapidated building in the old experimental building was his laboratory. It was destroyed by the police, so when we designed the Arc de Triomphe teaching building, we made this design, hiding a room. We also specially treated the windows of that room; I believe you have already seen it. This room raises many snake infants. These snake infants absorb human essence and blood, and Xuan Xiaotong uses the flesh of these snake infants to practice his secret technique.”

As the man spoke, he gave Xia Chen a meaningful glance.

"Xuan Xiaotong's reason for conducting this experiment is that he's worried that one day he won't be able to live forever, so he can use this method to prolong his soul. Therefore, he bought many orphanages and nursing homes, intending to select children from the orphanages, kill them, and then extend their lives. He bought the nursing homes so he could use this method to experiment on the elderly after they died. I don't know if you remember, but after you moved into the orphanage with Tang Ying and the others, you were lost for three days and three nights," the man asked.

Xia Chen was startled; he couldn't remember this incident at all. He had completely forgotten about getting lost, but Tang Ying often brought it up after he grew up. He said that one day he woke up from a nap and saw a figure that looked a lot like Tang Ying, so he followed that figure and left the orphanage. What happened after that is unknown; Tang Ying and the others only knew that Xia Chen was returned to the orphanage covered in injuries.

"It seems you still remember. Do you remember that a man strangled you to death?" Director Wan said.

Xia Chen was taken aback, and the man gave a contemptuous smile.

“It seems you’ve forgotten about this,” the man said.

It turns out that when Xia Chen was five years old, he accidentally went missing and wandered into the villa in the middle of the garden. That villa was used by Xuan Xiaotong for her experiments, and no one dared to enter it on ordinary days. Xia Chen stumbled in and was discovered by Xuan Xiaotong, who witnessed his experiment (though Xia Chen was unaware of its danger). Fearing Xia Chen would reveal it, Xuan Xiaotong killed him. Originally, Xia Chen's body was supposed to be completely destroyed by being thrown into aqua regia, but at the very moment before throwing him into the tub, Xuan Xiaotong suddenly changed her mind.

Xuan Xiaotong decided to activate a component of the "Nuwa Project" on Xia Chen, which was to resurrect the dead. Thus, Xia Chen came back to life.

"The vengeful spirit of the snake infants resides within you. Let me be frank with you, the people these snake infants devour are filled with all sorts of resentment. They especially love to eat lovers, for the resentment of separation and death is the heaviest and deepest. Now you know why the snake infants always ask 'Do you love me?' before eating someone. If the answer is 'I love you,' then the deceased will be filled with resentment. Tell me, what could be more hateful than being eaten by the one you love? The snake infants exist solely to nourish you living dead; your body contains countless snake infant blood!" the man said.

Xia Chen stared at the man in astonishment, but the man remained calm as if nothing had happened. The man picked up the "horror file" and then looked at Xia Chen with disdain.

"Legend has it that there is a monster called the living dead, and you are that monster. Although you appear to be alive, you died many years ago. You are like a snake infant; although your body is decaying, you are still alive. This is Xuan Xiaotong's plan, and it is also your destiny."

The man glanced at Xia Chen and continued, "Xuan Xiaotong has planted her rebirth genes in your body, meaning that even if she dies, she will one day reappear in your body. You know about the insect called Cordyceps sinensis, right? This insect lays its eggs in a type of grass and lies dormant there. You are that grass; Xuan Xiaotong's genes will eventually burst forth from your body. Your body is the cradle of Xuan Xiaotong's soul, and right now you are the fertilizer, slowly nurturing a new Xuan Xiaotong!"

He paused for a moment and then continued, "Her previous host body has aged, so she borrowed your lifespan and temporarily underwent plastic surgery to resemble you. In four years, she will be able to completely shed your appearance and be reborn as herself. She is a phoenix, she will be reborn. She did many bad things using your body! It's just a pity you didn't know. Now that she's dead, I have good news for you: you will inherit hundreds of billions of yuan in the Xiamen Group."

Xia Chen said angrily, "You're lying!"

“Your background is all written here, why would I lie to you?” The man looked Xia Chen up and down and said with utter contempt, “Fool.”

Xia Chen suddenly felt his palms grow cold and his legs go weak. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. He had pursued the truth and justice, never expecting that he would end up being the culprit.

The wind picked up outside, rushing in through the window. Xia Chen trembled uncontrollably in the wind, and the man's gloomy face looked terrifying in the wind.

In that instant, everything became clear. The three female corpses seen through that strange door were actually Xuan Xiaotong's host bodies! She first housed a part of herself in another's body, and as time passed, that part would gradually devour the original host. This process took only four years. During those four years, she would become the original host's appearance, even using that form to commit evil deeds. Then, four years later, the original host would transform back into Xuan Xiaotong's appearance. She would immediately leave the original host body, the original host would die instantly, and she would gain immortality!

“You are the last inheritor of the ‘Nuwa Project’ in this world,” the man said.

"No!" Xia Chen's eyes widened immediately, and he shook his head repeatedly, shouting, "No!"

The man gave a cold laugh, and Xia Chen stared blankly at the "horror file".

He suddenly raised his head and looked coldly at the man, asking coldly, "Why should I believe you?"

"Everything is written in the Horror Files, or rather, the Horror Files are Xuan Xiaotong's autobiography. You can choose to read it yourself, but I must warn you that everyone who has read the Horror Files has ended up with 'bloodshot eyes,' Tang Ying is the best example. Oh, and I forgot to tell you, Tang Ying learned about your fate after reading the Horror Files, couldn't accept it, and that's why he committed suicide," the man said.

Xia Chen rushed to the front of the terrifying files without hesitation and snatched them away. Just as he opened them, someone suddenly flew up from behind him.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Chen felt a tightness around his neck as a rope was tightly strangling him.

"She killed my wife, I want revenge!"

A sinister voice pierced Xia Chen's ears.

Xia Chen struggled desperately for a moment, then suddenly everything went black. He knew something was wrong; his mind went completely blank. He knew he was about to die. His hands fell limp. Suddenly, a rush of fresh air filled his lungs, and Xia Chen gasped for breath. He snapped back to reality and turned his head to see Hu Rongrong standing before him.

Hu Rongrong looked panicked, holding a baseball bat in her hand.

Following Hu Rongrong's gaze, Xia Chen saw the man lying on the ground and immediately crawled over. He reached out to check the man's breath.

Hu Rongrong burst into tears, and Xia Chen immediately stood up. Hu Rongrong threw herself into Xia Chen's arms.

"You scared me to death," Hu Rongrong said, crying.

Xia Chen put his arm around Hu Rongrong's shoulder, and Hu Rongrong trembled incessantly in Xia Chen's arms.

"It's alright, it's alright," Xia Chen said.

Hu Rongrong looked up and asked in confusion, "Who is he? Why did he want to kill you?"

Xia Chen shook his head and said with a smile, "It's nothing, just a small conflict. By the way, could you go buy me something?"

"What do you want to buy?" Hu Rongrong couldn't help but ask.

"Bandage, my hand is cut. I want to just get it bandaged up and not go to the hospital," Xia Chen said, raising his hand. Sure enough, there were marks on his hand from the struggle.

For some reason, Hu Rongrong suddenly had a bad feeling, as if something was about to happen. But when she met Xia Chen's bright eyes, Hu Rongrong couldn't help but nod.

Hu Rongrong ran out to buy bandages, while Xia Chen glanced at Mr. X on the ground. He quickly stuffed the "horror file" into his pocket and left.

When Hu Rongrong returned, she found the dormitory empty. After that, she never saw Xia Chen again.

Many years later, the laboratories at Yishi College had been razed to the ground. When the night security guards from back then recounted the history of the place, they always mentioned one particular thing .

He remembered one late night when a boy carrying what looked like a notebook walked into the laboratory of Yishi Academy. When he went to stop the boy, he found that the boy seemed to be able to travel through time and space, disappearing between two walls.

He still clearly remembers the two lines of bloody tears that streamed down the boy's face that night. Later, they said that the boy was a celebrity in the school, and his name was Xia Chen.

On a stormy night, lightning ripped through the sky. The old teaching building of Yishi Academy stood between heaven and earth, and a piercing scream tore through the night.

The Xia Group is doomed, and the Nuwa Project has been debunked, yet the curse and horror files of Yishi Academy remain shrouded in mystery. Every time a supernatural case occurs here, Mr. X files it. Don't think the horror files are just files; they can accurately predict the future. They are the only passport between souls and the human world; your fate is already written here.

Look, tonight. The horror archives will be opened once again.
