Fear of food

Chapter 67 Caring for the Corpse
Just as Chen Qi turned his head to bite down, the glaring light from the laboratory shone through the door onto his face, causing him to squint instinctively.

When I opened my eyes again, I found a young man who looked like a student standing behind me. He was wearing glasses, smiling, and had a few freckles on his face, making him look quite young.

The male student had his arm around Chen Qi's shoulder, as if the two were good buddies.

Chen Qizheng opened his mouth, ready to bite the hand on his shoulder.

"its not right……"

"How come I have shoulders?"

"Aren't I a dog?!"

Chen Qi suddenly realized that he had turned into a human!

He instinctively pulled his mouth back and didn't bite down.

Without the dog skin, he always felt it was a little strange to attack with his mouth the first thing he did.

He looked down at his hands, then at his body, and realized he had truly become himself again!

"This is impossible!"

Chen Qi was certain that he had just been a dog, and his body was still outside the medical school wall, inside Da Bing's car.

It's impossible to turn him back into human form in the blink of an eye!
"An illusion, it must be an illusion!"

He ignored everything he saw and turned to walk back the way he came.

He wanted to try leaving the area around the laboratory first to see if he could escape the illusion.

At this moment, the male student called out to him, "Where are you going? Class is about to start, and this is Director Xia's class. How dare you skip it?"

Director Xia?
Thinking of the information Momo had given him, Chen Qi blurted out, "Xia Huiyun, the head of the nursing department?"

"Yes."

"But I'm not a nursing student."

Chen Qi gave a perfunctory reply, but his steps didn't stop; he continued walking the way he had come.

The student behind him continued, "Neither am I, but when it comes to saving patients, how can I be so particular?"

Save the patient?
As Chen Qi walked, he glanced into the laboratory and saw several figures moving around inside.

As a result of this distraction, she suddenly bumped into something soft.

Chen Qi looked ahead and saw a woman in a nurse's uniform standing in front of him.

She was probably in her late forties, but she was very well-maintained, with good-looking skin and exquisite makeup.

"Where are you going?" the woman asked, frowning.

"Going to the toilet," Chen Qi replied casually, telling himself it was all an illusion, and continued walking forward, bypassing the other person.

"We don't have enough manpower, so don't run around."

Without saying a word, the woman pulled Chen Qi and started walking back.

Chen Qi felt as if he were being dragged by a bull, unable to resist at all.

The male student at the door saw Chen Qi being brought back and grinned smugly: "I told you not to run around. No one has ever been able to skip Director Xia's class."

Is there no way to escape?

How can we escape this illusion?
Chen Qi took another look at the woman with superhuman strength... So she was Director Xia, a domain-level parasite!
Why did she appear in the illusion?

In the blink of an eye, Chen Qi was dragged into the laboratory by Director Xia, and Chen Qi finally saw the situation inside the laboratory.

There were seven or eight students and two middle-aged men who looked like teachers.

In addition, there were dissection tables, each with a corpse lying on it.

The laboratory was only lit at the entrance; further in, it was pitch black. Chen Qi couldn't see anything at a glance and had no idea how many dissection tables were set up or how many corpses were laid out there...

"Is this a laboratory or a morgue?" Chen Qi wondered to himself.

Director Xia Huiyun called out loudly, "Let's begin. Same as before, call me if you have any questions." Chen Qi didn't know what to do either, but he saw the other students busily working, crowding around different corpses—some prying open eyelids, some checking for breathing, some listening to heartbeats…

What are you doing!
Chen Qi watched this scene and felt it was both absurd and bizarre.

At this moment, the male student from before came over, pulled Chen Qi away, and said, "Don't just stand there, get to work!"

Chen Qi followed him to a corpse and, imitating the others, pried open the corpse's eyelids to listen for a heartbeat...

While doing these things, he was thinking about how to get out of this mess.

Xia Huiyun was standing right at the gate; it was impossible for her to escape by force.

He thought for a moment, then suddenly asked the male student next to him, "What's your name?"

"Bian Zihan".

really……

It's a familiar name again: Bian Zihan, the student council president, who is suspected to be a domain-level parasite!
Could this place be full of parasites?

Chen Qi's heart pounded wildly. Had he stumbled into a gathering of parasites?

"But why do they treat me like one of their own?"

Chen Qi instantly made a guess because of the Nightmare Eater parasitizing his body!

In a way, he, like these parasites, was also parasitized by Nightmare Eater.

Therefore, it seems entirely possible that they might consider them as one of their own.

After figuring this out, Chen Qi suddenly began to have some doubts: Is this really an illusion?
He continued to imitate them, prying open the corpse's eyelids, checking its breathing, and listening to its heartbeat, though he didn't know what the point was.

The two corpses he handled were both remarkably well-preserved, as if they had just died.

Chen Qi felt he needed more information, so he casually asked Bian Zihan, "Are these corpses all cadavers?"

As soon as he said that, everyone in the room turned to look at him.

Chen Qi's heart skipped a beat, realizing that he might have said something wrong.

The scene fell silent instantly, the atmosphere becoming heavy and somber.

Xia Huiyun walked quickly to Chen Qi, staring straight at him. In her hand, a huge syringe had appeared out of nowhere.

The needle at the tip of the syringe gleamed coldly and looked even thicker than Chen Qi's veins!

"They're not going to prick me with needles, are they?" Chen Qi glanced around out of the corner of his eye, already thinking about what to use as a weapon.

However, at this moment, Xia Huiyun suddenly looked relaxed and said, "So you're a newcomer, no wonder."

"This is your first time attending my nursing class, so don't try to do anything yet. Observe and learn more."

Chen Qi nodded: "Thank you, Director Xia."

Xia Huiyun instructed with a stern face: "These are all patients lying here. My nursing class is to teach you how to care for patients."

What exactly do you need to care for when there are a bunch of corpses?

Just as Chen Qigang had this thought, he heard a female student raise her hand and say, "Teacher Xia, this patient's pupils are dilated!"

Xia Huiyun remained calm and said indifferently, "Go and call an ophthalmologist."

At this moment, Bian Zihan also raised his hand and said, "Director Xia, this patient has developed lividity. Should we ask Director Gao from the dermatology department to come over?"

Xia Huiyun nodded approvingly: "Good, go ahead."

So the female student and Bian Zihan ran out of the lab to fetch the doctor.

Chen Qi wondered if he had eaten raw mushrooms, feeling that he could never have imagined such a scenario.

However, he was suddenly startled, thinking of the two corpses he had just handled. He hadn't paid attention to them at the time, but now that he thought about it, it seemed that their pupils had indeed not dilated!
Are they dead or alive?
