The old lady was lying on Ximen Lian's dressing table a few hours ago. The makeup on her face was still painted on by Ximen Lian himself just now. When Ximen Lian was helped up, the old lady had disappeared without a trace.
Without a trace. Thinking of the scene when the old lady’s brows were condensed when she was applying makeup in the early morning, Ximen Lian broke out in a cold sweat. He broke free from the support of his colleagues and took advantage of the crowded farewell hall.
, Ximen Lian searched the crowd several times, but could no longer find the old lady.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were so many people paying homage to the remains, Ximen Lian gritted his teeth and walked to the coffin. When he had the courage to take a look inside, he saw the old lady lying inside very peacefully. Her cheeks looked plump and appeared
Very rich.
Ximen Lian murmured in his heart, were you dazzled just now?
In a blink of an eye, the farewell ceremony came to an end, and Ximen Lian watched helplessly as Director Xia personally pushed the trolley containing the deceased's body towards the crematorium. Even though high-ranking officials usually put makeup on the dead without changing their appearance, he joined the funeral parlor to work
Since then, I have never entered a cremation room to see how the dead are burned to ashes.
But now Ximen Daguan is interested in the cremation room. The two consecutive visions this morning have made him unsure whether it is dazzled or really seeing something. In order to prove that he is dazzled, Ximen Lian suddenly
Courage followed Director Xia into the cremation room door.
Ximen Lian watched with his own eyes as the cremator pushed the old lady's body into the cremation furnace. As the cremation process started, Ximen Lian clearly saw from the monitoring port in front of the furnace that the old lady's body was on fire. This was the first time he saw it.
Seeing such a scene, Ximen Lian's heart was pounding, and the official was emboldening himself: Seeing that the old lady's dead body was about to be burned to ashes, it shouldn't come out to cause trouble again, right?
Just when Ximen Lian was about to leave the cremation room, there was a crackling sound from the crematorium. Ximen Lian reflexively looked towards the surveillance port and saw the old lady who was already burning in the crematorium and suddenly sat up straight.
He stood up, and then the flame vents around the cremation furnace spurted out tongues of fire, instantly burning the old lady who sat up into a burning person.
Ximen Lian's nerves had been highly tense, and now he could no longer bear to see such a scene. His vision went dark and he fainted next to the cremator.
Fortunately, the cremator found Ximen Lian who had fainted when he was preparing to burn the second furnace. The cremator didn't know what had happened, so he called Director Xia, who was guarding the door of the cremation room, and the two of them lifted Ximen Lian.
People who saw this scene talked a lot, and some of them took out their mobile phones to take photos of the three of them. The next day, the local newspaper published news about the photo, with the title - Shocking scene, the deceased was there
Suddenly woke up when being carried into the cremator...
When Ximen Lian woke up, he was already in the lounge of the funeral home. At this time, his mind went blank. After waiting for a long time, he remembered what happened to him just now and he was the only one in the lounge.
Man, after recalling what had just happened, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. The lounge was empty, and he did not dare to stay here anymore.
At that moment, Ximen Lian walked out of the lounge, looking for a crowded place to borrow yang energy to ward off evil spirits. Unexpectedly, just as he walked out of the lounge, countless black shadows appeared within his sight. These figures could not be seen clearly.
Only a rough outline of the facial features can be seen, that of a wanderer walking back and forth in the funeral parlor.
Ximen Lian's scalp was numb, and he was so frightened that he couldn't care much. He rushed out of the funeral home, stopped a taxi, and took out the envelope containing the hard-earned money given to him by the big shot.
A hundred-dollar bill was thrown to the driver: "Go to xxxx, hurry up! I'm in a hurry!"
After leaving the funeral parlor, the black figure suddenly disappeared, but at this time, even if Ximen Lian was killed, he did not dare to go back to the funeral parlor. He could no longer do this job, so he called Director Xia to resign when he got home.
This is what Ximen Lian thought, but when he returned home, it was the beginning of Ximen's nightmare.
After returning home, looking at the high sun that had already risen, Ximen Lian felt a little calmer. Then he remembered to call Director Xia. Before he could say his resignation, he
First, I was scolded by Director Xia. Ximen Lian felt aggrieved. If you hadn’t asked me to go back to the funeral parlor to work overtime in the middle of the night, would I have encountered such a weird thing? Now I was talking to Director Xia on the phone.
After arguing for a few words, the two of them couldn't agree with each other. They started to quarrel within two sentences. One of them insisted on resigning, and the other said that he couldn't resign. This will count as my firing you. In a word, Ximen Lian no longer works in the funeral parlor.
.
Until the sun goes down, there is no such black figure. But when the night falls, Ximen Lian's eyes see another scene. There is nothing unusual in Ximen Lian's home, but this night.
It was the first anniversary of the death of the neighbor downstairs. More than a dozen neighbors and relatives were burning paper at the intersection under the chain window of the west gate to pay homage to the deceased.
Ximen Lian was upset by the smell of burning paper. When he was about to close the window, he accidentally saw countless black figures next to the people who were burning paper downstairs. These figures were similar to the ones he saw in the funeral home in the morning.
The figures were exactly the same. Ximen Lian's heart, which had been put down, suddenly rose again, and he hurriedly closed the window. When he closed the window, he moved a little louder, and there was a "clang!" sound, causing everyone downstairs to raise their heads to look at his house.
Look in the direction.
It wasn't just the people who were startled, even the black figures were moving. Not long after Ximen Lian closed the window, he heard a slight tremor in the entire window. The tremor was not large at first, but after a while, all the houses in Ximen Lian began to tremble.
It started shaking, and it looked like an earthquake.
While the house was shaking, there were already black figures lying on the windows. These figures were covered with a layer of mist. Although they couldn't see their faces clearly, this scene already made Ximen Lian shudder. Slowly, these figures gathered more and more.
There are so many, these black figures are densely covered almost on the front glass.
Ximen Lian was petrified at this time. His mind was blank. He looked at the figures in the window and didn't know what to do. At this moment, a figure outside the glass slowly became clear, and the outline of her facial features was revealed.
, when he opened his mouth to smile at Ximen Lian, two rows of molars were missing from his mouth. It was the old lady who Ximen Lian saw with his own eyes that had been burned into a fireball in the morning.
Isn't it over yet? Ximen Lian's intestines were filled with regret at this time. If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have gone back to the funeral parlor to work overtime even if I said I was going to die last night. It's too late to regret it now, but judging from the meaning of these black figures, they don't seem to be able to pass through.
The glass entered the house. As time went by, Ximen Lian slowly recovered. He tremblingly found his cell phone and made a call to Director Xia.
matter.
After the call was connected, it immediately showed that the other party was talking. It seemed that Director Xia was still angry and refused to answer Ximen Lian's call. There was no other way. The official could only make one call after another, dozens of times.
After the call was made, someone's voice finally rang on the phone.
Director Xia first scolded Ximen Lian again, and the senior officials did not dare to retaliate. After Director Xia had finished scolding him and felt happy, Ximen Lian explained the situation in front of him with tears in his eyes.
Perhaps thinking of Ximen Lian's abnormal behavior when he fainted in the cremation room in the morning, and hearing that Ximen Lian didn't sound like he was talking nonsense, Director Xia on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then he still gave Ximen Lian an emergency call.
Method.
Ximen Lian followed Director Xia's instructions and sprinkled salt on the doorways, window sills, and all entrances and exits, including the ventilation ducts of the smoking hoods. After the official sprinkled all the salt at home, he still felt
Not knowing what to do, he simply found all the seasoning packets for soy sauce, pickles and instant noodles. As long as it was salty, no matter what it was, he sprinkled it on the door, window sill and other places.
After a handful of salt was sprinkled on it, the black figures outside the window began to gradually disappear. Five minutes later, all the black figures on the window disappeared. At this time, Ximen Lian finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not dare to take it lightly.
The man turned on all the lights at home, and wrote a great sad mantra on the Internet, and played it continuously. Finally, he squatted in the corner with a kitchen knife in one hand and garlic in the other, looking aimlessly at the air around him, just like that.
After several hours, Ximen Chain finally made it to the time when the sun rose.
After daybreak, Ximen Lian felt much better. He boldly opened the door and ran downstairs to a place where he could get some sunshine. Knowing the benefits of salt, Ximen Lian bought salt from several nearby small supermarkets.
They were all rolled up. The old ladies in the neighborhood kept asking, why are you starting to grab salt again? Is there another tsunami in Japan?
Ximen Lian took a taxi back to the funeral home with a large bag of salt. Due to his unusual behavior here yesterday, the funeral home now has various versions of his behavior. Ximen Lian just walked into the parking lot of the funeral home compound.
, the two managers of the parking lot stopped when they saw him from a distance, and they lowered their voices and talked about something.
It was impossible to hear the conversation between the two from this distance, but when Ximen Lian saw the two people's mouths opening and closing, he actually understood what they were saying, "Isn't that Ximen? He is coming back to resign.
?Have you heard? He had a fight with Xia Ren yesterday, just for Xia Ren’s girl. It seems that Ximen made her pregnant, and Xia Ren tricked her into the cremation room. If Ximen hadn’t run fast, he would have killed her directly.
He threw it into the cremator and burned it. Just then, Lao Xia called Ximen a bastard."
At this point, the man saw Ximen Lian holding a bag of salt in his hand. After a pause, he continued: "It's not about resigning. Ximen is here to fight for Lao Xia. Did you see the bag in his hand? Ximen is bringing the salt bag today."
He came with this guy, but he came here with the intention of dying together. After Ximen passed, he made the girl’s belly bigger, so a beating would be good. What if he wants to regain his position?”
Just as this person finished speaking, another person next to him said: "Pull him down, why do you have a big belly and die together? If you don't know, don't talk nonsense. Ximen has seen a ghost. Old Zheng in the cremation room told me when he left yesterday afternoon
I don’t know what caused Ximen’s convulsion. Yesterday morning when he was burning his head, he quietly went into the cremation room to watch people being burned. He knocked himself out. After he woke up, he ran away without talking to the old man
Xia asked for leave, which made Lao Xia angry and scolded him. Yesterday morning during my shift, I saw with my own eyes that Ximen's little face was so pale that I didn't want it to be the face of a living person."
This person wanted to continue talking, but when he saw Ximen Lian staring directly at the two of them, as if he could hear what they were saying, he was a little confused about the situation, and finally closed his mouth.
.
Now Ximen Lian's heart is as if it's overgrown with weeds and he has no clue. Why did he have the ability to read lips, and he doesn't even know it. But now is not the time to think about this, while the sun has not set in the sky.
Shan, he still needs to find Director Xia and completely solve the ghost problem.
Fortunately, Director Xia didn't run around. Ximen Lian found Director Xia in his office. At this time, there was an old man wearing black clothes sitting in front of Director Xia's desk. Xia Ren said to the skinny old man
His attitude was almost humble. When he saw Ximen Lian coming, Director Xia waved his hand to him and said, "Wait for me for a while. If you have anything to do, wait until I finish entertaining the guests."
When Xia Ren was talking, the old man raised his eyelids and looked at Ximen Lian for a while. He ignored Xia Ren and said directly to Ximen Lian: "When did you see that kind of thing?" As soon as he said this.
, Ximen Lian's heart was beating wildly. As if he wanted to grab a life-saving straw, he immediately told what happened yesterday exactly. When it came to the matter of knowing what others were saying just by looking at their mouth movements, the half-old man was stunned.
After a moment, he looked at Ximen Lian carefully again, almost not believing what he just said.
