Chapter 49

As the corpse turned its head, the white cloth covering his body slipped down, revealing his face.

It was an old man over the age of six, male, with an old, withered face, and short, disheveled gray hair. His skin was pale and purple, and he looked like he had been dead for a while.

His upper body was naked, and his skin was the same blue-purple color.

I saw him staring at me with those cloudy and godless pupils, his mouth slowly opening and letting out a low roar: "Ah~~~~"

My scalp tingled, and I turned around and ran. But then I thought about it, no, I'm here to investigate the anomalous phenomenon. Now the anomalous phenomenon is right in front of my eyes, and although it is a little scary, what does it mean that I choose to escape?

Thinking of this, I turned around and walked back. I first leaned on the iron door and took a look inside.

The old man's body was shaking, and it seemed as if he wanted to climb off the bed, but he couldn't do it well because of the stiffness of his muscles.

I lowered my head, shone my flashlight on the keychain in my hand, and looked through each key, until I finally noticed that one of the keys had the word "mortuary" on it.

I quickly tried to open the iron door with that key, and I succeeded in an instant. I reached out and pushed the iron door open and stepped into the room.

The old corpse heard the door open and turned its head to me with difficulty.

I don't know why I felt this way, but this corpse seemed to be very excited when it saw me.

I resisted the fear in my heart, and moved my steps little by little, for fear that he would suddenly burst out and do something unfavorable to me.

The pair of corpses raised their hands at me and roared hoarsely, "Ah~~~~"

I stared at him carefully, his face a little stiff and horrified by the long period of death, but I somehow saw a hint of pleading in his eyes.

I whispered to the corpse, "Are you trying to talk to me?"

The corpse's eyes widened and he nodded with difficulty.

Damn, you can communicate?!

I was overjoyed, and asked him, "Do you have any last wish that has not been fulfilled?"

Usually I read a lot of other novels, usually similar to this kind of corpses or ghosts that can communicate, usually with some last wish that wants to be fulfilled.

Unexpectedly, I guessed wrong this time, the corpse shook his head, his movements seemed to have been much more flexible, and he continued to yell at me: "Wave~~"

"What?" I seemed to hear a word come out of his mouth.

The corpse struggled hard, seemed to be a little anxious, and said three words indistinctly, "Bo-ang-help-help me~~~".

I said comfortingly: "Okay, this old man, you calm down first, move a little, and try to make me understand what you say." ”

The corpse seemed to make sense, and he nodded, and sat there, trying to move his face. After a while, he looked up at me and said, "Help me." ”

Seeing that the words spoken were much clearer, I was also relieved, not for anything else, the roar just now was too penetrating.

"If there's anything you'd like me to help with, just tell me. ”

The corpse rested for a moment, then began to tell me about him in fits and starts.

"I... My name is Zhang Xiaoshuai. I'm from this funeral home... Night janitor. ”

"What?!" my eyes widened suddenly, "you're the night janitor at this funeral home. Is that the person who posted on the forum yesterday you?"

When he heard me mention that post, Zhang Xiaoshan showed a look of surprise, "Yes, have you read that post?" Zhang Xiaoshan's emotions couldn't help but get excited.

"Then you can solve my problems, don't you? Please! Please, please help me get back to my old self!" his voice was already tinged with a cry.

I asked out loud, "Wait, wait, you make it clear first, you are not what you are now, are you?"

"No, I'm only 21 years old. ”

"What?21?" I surveyed the bodies again. In any sense of the word, this is the corpse of an eighty or ninety-year-old man, how can he say that he is 21 years old?

I shook my head, intending to hear from him first, "Okay, forget about that for now, tell me what you've been through." I'm trying to figure out how to solve your current problem. ”

"Okay... Target.. Good. ”

Although I don't know if these corpses can breathe, Zhang Xiaoshan still took two deep breaths, as if to stabilize his emotions, and then said:

"That's right, my name is Zhang Xiaoshan, and I'm 21 years old this year. He is a vagrant.

Some time ago, I lost some money playing cards, but I didn't want my family to know, so I had to come out and find a job.

Then I came here during the day yesterday to apply for a night janitor. I think I'm quite bold, and I shouldn't have much of a problem doing this.

At night, everyone else was off work, and I slept alone in the duty room.

At about nine o'clock in the evening, I got up to go to the bathroom and found the upstairs room with the lights on.

At first I thought someone had forgotten to turn off the lights. So I got my flashlight, my baton, and my key.

As I walked down the road, I noticed a figure shaking in the window, and I wondered if there was some kind of criminal gang stealing human organs stealing corpses in the morgue.

But when I leaned on the door and looked inside, I was surprised to find that there was no one in the room.

I used the key to open the iron door and enter this room. Each corpse was lying well, and no one seemed to have visited.

But I noticed that on a bed in the far left corner, the white cloth was very messily lifted on the floor. The bodies on the bed above were gone.

At the time, I didn't realize what was going on. I thought the criminal gangs had stolen the body.

At that time, I was scared, because when I applied for the job, the leader told me that if there was any failure in the matter here, I would be responsible.

At this point, I just wanted to run away.

But when I turned around to leave the room, I found a figure standing motionless behind me.

I was so frightened that I raised my baton and threw it down without even thinking about it, knocking the man down at once.

When I reacted, I was surprised to find that the one I had knocked down was not a thief, but a male corpse.

The corpse looked to have been dead for a long time, its skin was flushed purple, and large patches appeared.

At this point, my mind began to get a little confused, was it really this corpse that I had knocked down just now?

Fighting back the fear in my heart, I crouched down to examine the corpse, and I found that the corpse had traces on its head that had just been struck by a motive.

I was terrified and ran out of the room without looking back. Back in the communication room, I locked the door and hid under the covers, not daring to come out until dawn.

On the second day, when the shift is changed. I told Lao Li, who was watching the day shift, about it. But Lao Li didn't believe me. And called me cowardly. made up a story to deceive him. He also told me that he loves to do it, but he doesn't like to do it.

When I got home, I thought about it and felt that it was incredible. So I wanted to make a post on the Internet to discuss this with everyone and see if anyone could help me.

But I didn't expect that I had just sent this post, and my home computer was not connected to the Internet. Then I tried to send it on my mobile phone, but I found that my mobile phone had no network, and I couldn't make a call.

That's when I realized that it wasn't as simple as I thought. So I snuck into the funeral home during the day today and came to this room again. I didn't expect it to be like this!"

I quickly answered, "No, wait, wait, wait, you haven't said yet." ”

Zhang Xiaoshan's stiff face seemed to show a thoughtful expression, and he spoke: "I... I don't know, I just remember pretending to be a family member of a deceased person and following the weeping people into this room. Then, while their attention was on the deceased relative, I secretly hid under an iron frame bed... Later, all I remember was that I was lying on this bed and couldn't move, and then the lights came back on, and you know what happened next. ”

I frowned and nodded, "In other words, it's very likely that your body has been replaced." Let's find out if there's any body in this room. ”

Zhang Xiaoshan nodded, crawled down from the bed tremblingly, moved his limbs slightly, and should barely be able to walk, while I had already begun to lift the white cloth covering the corpse one by one.

Most of the corpses in this room are some old people who are over the age of six, and only a few are young adults, and it seems that they must have experienced some accident and died.

I looked over from bed to bed, and Zhang Xiaoshan followed behind me, constantly shaking his head, "It's not this, it's not this." ”

After examining forty or fifty corpses, Zhang Xiaoshan pointed to the corpse under the white cloth I had just lifted, and screamed excitedly: "This body! This is my original body!"

I motioned for him not to get excited, and looked down for a closer look.

This is a very ordinary young man, with a small flat head, and he is not very handsome.

This corpse looked different from the others. The corpses that had just been examined were bloodless and pale, and those who had been dead for a long time were beginning to have corpse spots.

Zhang Xiaoshan's body seemed to be asleep, but his face was paler than ordinary people.

I touched my chin and looked at the "young Zhang Xiaoshan", then at the "old Zhang Xiaoshan", and said, "Now that your body has been found, how should we change you back?"

Zhang Xiaoshan stretched out his left hand excitedly and gently stroked his body lying on the bed.

However, at this time, the body that originally belonged to Zhang Xiaoshan suddenly twitched violently, and then suddenly opened his eyes.

I was overjoyed: "Zhang Xiaoshan, have you changed it back?"

I turned my head to look at Zhang Xiaoshan, who was standing next to me, only to find that he was staring with his eyes open and his mouth open, and the expression on his face was very frightened. Wait, do you say—

I looked back at the young Zhang Xiaoshan, only to see him slowly sit up, look at the two of us with a blank gaze, open his mouth, and say to us in a hoarse voice:

"What is this place?"
