José Martin expertly draws the curtains, turns on the radio, and the music comes out, before he begins to clean up with a broom and start the day with a relaxed gesture. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As a funeral company, the day-to-day work of the store is not busy. After dropping off their family and friends at the hospital, customers will make a phone call based on the business card provided by the hospital, and then they will come to the door to complete the contact and follow-up work. There are also cases where customers appear in the store as private individuals and are looking for business, but it is relatively rare.

José is only about to enter college in September this year, and now he is only helping out in the store at home, anyway, there is not much business, he only needs to be responsible for looking after the store and supporting the storefront.

At this time, José held the broom and followed the melody in a circle, as if dancing on the dance floor, and then a figure appeared in his sight, which made Jose stunned, he thought he was dazzled, and then turned in a circle for the second time in the direction of the door, and saw the figure again, and this time it became two, Jose suddenly panicked, and quickly stopped, but the body still turned two times due to inertia, one center of gravity was unstable, staggered two steps, and almost fell directly.

"Be careful, do you need help?" a voice of concern came from the door, and José shook his head repeatedly, not expecting this action to become more and more dizzy, and as a result, a butt piercing sat on the ground.

Jose was eager to dig a hole and get into it, "I'm sorry. He grunted and stood up, bowed his head and apologized, his cheeks flushed hot.

After a slight pause, Jose found that there was no sound at all, and couldn't help but glance up secretly, and found that there were two people standing in front of him, the one on the right hand with a dull face and a sharp brow that made people avoid looking.

The one on the left looked at him politely with a smile on his face, and didn't say much. He didn't pretend to be okay and looked left at him, nor did he pretend to be concerned about asking too much, which made José calm up a little and adjust his voice, "Good morning, welcome to Martin Funeral Services, is there anything I can do to help you?"

"I need to find a coffin. The man on the left had his right hand in his pocket, still with a faint smile on his face.

Jose finally calmed down, and looked at the person who came, both of them looked very young, but they were in their early twenties, and they were of the same generation as themselves, if nothing else, it should be that their grandparents died, Jose considered his tone, "I regret your loss, I don't know who this coffin is for?"

"Oh no, the coffin is for me. The smile of the man on the left rose slightly, like the morning sun shining through the sycamore leaves.

"It was originally for you, so ......" Jose kept his tone calm, with a look of sudden realization, but then his throat was choked, his eyes widened, and he looked at the man in front of him in disbelief, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

Jose's appearance of being so shocked that staying there was really too funny, and Lan Li chuckled twice, "Don't worry, I'm not an indomitable soul crawling out of the grave." Then Lan Li explained his intention, "I need to rent a coffin so that I can lie in it and spend ...... Well, eight to ten hours or so. I don't know, how exactly is the fee calculated?"

In Europe, gothic style is not uncommon, and a small number of gothic enthusiasts, or vampire worshippers, will buy a coffin as their bed and sleep in it every night. While the mainstream public doesn't do that, there's nothing to be shocking about.

Therefore, like Lan Li, it is a little strange to want to lie in the coffin for a while and experience it, but Jose is relieved and does not make a fuss, "I don't know what you mean, do you just want to sleep in the coffin?"

"No, it's not. Lan Li shook his head, "I hope you can nail the coffin to death......" Seeing that Jose's bronze bull-like eyes were about to fall off, Lan Li smiled dumbly, "But there must be a gap for the air to flow so that I can breathe." I don't want any surprises. Lan Li also made a joke in passing, but apparently Jose couldn't laugh.

In fact, Paul spent less than three hours in the "live burial" before the heavy sand pressed against the weak planks and buried him in earnest. At the same time, the air in the coffin was also reduced little by little, so that many of Paul's emotions were suppressed to the extreme, so as to avoid the rapid consumption of oxygen due to the excessive fluctuations.

It is difficult to completely simulate the state of being buried alive in real life, but the risk factor is also relatively high, and it must be accompanied and supervised by professionals. However, the cost is bound to be expensive, and the "burying alive" crew is not the type with a lot of money, and neither is Lan Li himself. Therefore, in the end, Lanli had a compromise plan.

"......" José waited for his eyes to be overwhelmed, "what the hell do you want to do?" José didn't care about being polite, and asked straight away.

"Would you believe me if I said I just wanted to experience the thrill?" Lan Li said half-jokingly, but Jose's forehead was already sweating and he was completely powerless, Lan Li retracted his smile, "I'm doing a survey about claustrophobia. The coffin is one of them, and the space is the most cramped. I needed to experience for myself what it was like to be in it and collect more data. ”

Lan Li did not mention the matter of "burying alive", if it is an actor to experience the role, even if the media is not interested, ordinary people will come to join in the fun, it doesn't matter if it adds trouble, the important thing is to increase the uncertainty factor, which not only threatens the character experience, but also may threaten personal safety. Therefore, Lan Li found such an excuse.

Although he received a reasonable explanation, José still couldn't respond, "But, but......" He felt that his brain was a little insufficient, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say why, which was really worrying.

"But what about my personal safety?" Lan Li was very thoughtful, and he also knew that in the event of a catastrophic consequence of such a dangerous activity, it would be very cumbersome to pursue responsibility.

Even companies that specialize in challenging sports are reluctant to take huge risks.

In the case of skydiving, for example, everyone signs a large number of waiver declarations before the official skydive, and if there is any kind of accident, everyone involved in the skydiving company will not be held accountable. Even insurance companies are reluctant to provide insurance, and only truly professional extreme sports insurance companies offer relevant insurance terms, and basically only for professionals.

This is true even for extreme sports with professional training qualifications, not to mention the current situation of Lan Li - he is now just randomly finding a funeral company and then making requests to challenge the extreme thrill, and if there is any potential deviation, they can't tell.

Matthew, who had been standing by and silent, stepped forward, "I'm a licensed lawyer, I'll draft a statement waiving the complaint, he'll sign it, and then everything will be fine." ”

After finishing speaking, Matthew glanced at Lan Li speechlessly, he couldn't believe that Lan Li was actually going to lock himself in a coffin today. Even if it's Lan Li, such a thing is too out of line. The two of them hadn't seen each other for a year, and when they reunited again, he actually wanted to draft a statement for Lan Li to voluntarily give up his personal rights, and the urge to roll his eyes was almost unbearable.

Lan Li spread out his hands and looked calm. Matthew said that the complaint was weak.

José had already given up thinking, and when he heard the man on the left, he nodded his head in agreement, but then he heard the man on the right, and he didn't know how to react - giving up his rights? What does this mean, can it be done or can't be done? Wait, what did the man on the left want to do just now?

"Uh...... I need...... Belch...... Make a call and ask. This is José's only reaction now, such a thing, he is only eighteen years old, he can't deal with it, he still has to call his elders.

Lan Li spread out his hands and looked at Matthew speechlessly, "Okay, simple things are complicated, and now there is a toss." "After drafting the statement, if the other party is cautious, it is bound to ask his lawyer to read it too, and then argue again, you come and go, this is simply endless. "I knew I was locking myself in the bathroom, so it was a little more convenient. ”

Matthew decided to ignore Lan Li's complaints, and watched the young man report the situation on the phone with a panicked face, the scene was inexplicably joyful, and then Matthew suddenly remembered something, "You originally planned to do this by yourself?"

"Why not?" Lan Li shrugged his shoulders, a look of course, "There is no danger in this, as long as you make sure the air circulates, then you will be fine." "While it's a bit of a sword to experience the extreme feeling of being closed in a coffin, in fact, there's not much danger, provided of course that the coffin isn't really sealed.

Lan Li is bold, not crazy.

"Tell you, I'm going to be in there for at least eight hours, it's going to be boring and ugly. If you have other things to do, I don't mind if you leave first. Lan Li said thoughtfully with a suggestive expression.

Matthew squinted at Lan Li for three seconds, then silently turned his gaze away and continued to stand in place without saying a word, but it seemed that he had no intention of leaving.

Lan Li spread his hands and said, "I've already predicted it. ”

Two hours later, after much confirmation and scrutiny, Lan Li's bold and risky plan could finally be implemented, and all the tension and anticipation seemed to have worn off. Now Lan Li just wants to lie down in the coffin quickly, otherwise he will miss lunch and dinner again.

Jose watched Lan Li climb into the coffin without hesitation, and finally confirmed, "Ready?" After receiving Lan Li's nod in the affirmative, he closed the heavy coffin board.

The world of Lan Li has entered absolute darkness.
