Chapter Eighty-Nine: The City Corpse Collector

The City Corps Management Office is a special department on the continent of Ksla, not only in Moorfa City, but also in a small city like Thebes. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Because there is chaos on the continent of Ksla, no matter how much the security department in the city manages, many people will be killed in the city every day.

Only a small fraction of these people can be identified, and the remaining unidentified bodies are sent to the city's corpse management office, where they will be disposed of for a week if no one claims them.

In fact, this function of the corpse management office was originally attached to the public security department, but because the public security department was sometimes too busy with its own work, it finally separated this part of the function and established a separate corpse management office.

The idea of setting up a corpse management office in the city was first implemented in Moorfa City, and later other cities found this method good and followed suit, and now basically the corpse management office is the standard in every city.

However, the corpse management office does not need many staff, and the corpse management office in a small city usually has only three staff, one is responsible for collecting the body, one is responsible for registration, and one is responsible for keeping vigil.

Even in a city as large as Moorfa City, there are only four staff members in the corpse management office, and only one person in charge of registration has been added.

And Drake is the one who is responsible for collecting the corpse, referred to as the city corpse collector.

Collecting nameless corpses from all over the city every day may sound like a lot of work, but Drake's job isn't actually tiring.

Because most of his working hours are concentrated in the early morning, most of the residents of Moorfa City have not yet woken up.

Murders of all kinds are usually concentrated at night, and there are always a few more corpses lying on the side of the road in the streets after a night. Every morning after waking up, Drake drove his carriage with its large carriage from east to west of the city, loading corpses into the carriage when he came across them.

On average, he finds a dozen bodies every morning, but that's pretty much all he does every day.

Although murders occur at other times except at night, most of those bodies are sent to the corpse management office by the security department or enthusiastic residents, and it is the turn of the registrar of the corpse management office to do their work, which has little to do with Drake.

Therefore, except for going out every morning to collect the corpse, Drake usually stays at home to take care of his little grandson who has just been born, and he is quite happy in his old age.

Drake hasn't been as comfortable as he used to be, first of all, his old friend Buck has taken a month's off work to return to his hometown in the countryside because something happened at home, and Buck is the night watchman of the corpse management office.

Before leaving, Buck entrusted his work to his young nephew Bass, and made a point of telling Drake to take care of young Bass. They are old and don't have much of a sense of corpses, but for some young people, it's scary to have to face corpses all night.

Buck's nephew wasn't a particularly bold man, but Buck was the only relative in Morfa City, and Bass had recently lost his job, so he had to work for him for a month.

On the first day after Buck left, it was almost evening when Drake arrived at the corpse management office and waited for Bass, who needed to tell Buzz some of the most basic things to look out for.

When it was time for the Night's Watch to go to work, Buzz showed up on time for the corpse management. This is a young man with quite delicate eyebrows, thin and small, and looks a little weak.

After explaining the precautions to Bass, Drake went home. Bass's first week on the job went well, but one morning in the second week, he suddenly found Drake and told him that several bodies had been lost from the Autopsy Management and that he didn't know what to do now.

It's the first time Drake has heard of this kind of thing after working as a city corpse collector for so long, and those unclaimed corpses are actually stolen.

It is important to know that the job of the night watchman in the corpse management office is not to guard the unclaimed corpses, but to guard the belongings taken from those corpses, which is the main thing that the registrar mainly registers.

Although it is impossible to have much property on each corpse, the sum of so many corpses on them is quite a considerable amount of property. The property is placed in the corpse management office, waiting for the relatives of the corpse to claim it, and if it is not claimed, the property will be confiscated.

The main duty of the night watchman is to keep an eye on the property in case someone steals it.

Therefore, Drake, who has been working in the corpse management office for so long, knows that losing a corpse is actually nothing, because those corpses are sent to the corpse management office without their real identity, and not even a tenth of them can be claimed.

It is usually stored in the corpse management office for a few days and then sent to the cemetery to be buried, and sometimes the corpses in the corpse management office will be borrowed by several colleges in Moorfa City for some experiments, of course, they are all borrowed and not returned, so it is not a big deal to throw away a few corpses, and it is enough to talk to the registration staff a little.

However, Buzz didn't know this, and thought that he had caused some serious trouble, and when he came to find Drake, he looked quite panicked, and he was afraid that his uncle would lose his job because of his momentary mistake.

Seeing Bass's nervousness, Drake quickly told him that the matter was not as serious as he imagined, and that it was just a matter of saying a few nice words to the registrar and not letting him tell the officials above.

Knowing that things could be remedied, Bass stabilized and began to tell Drake what had happened.

Just last night, Bass arrived at the cadavers office early, as usual, to start the day's work.

He had to sit in front of the rows of corpses all night every day, and at first Buzz still thought the whole corpse management office was gloomy, and he was a little worried that the corpses with their heads covered would get up at night.

And because it was summer, those corpses were easy to decay, so those corpses were sprinkled with a layer of anti-decay potion, and the whole corpse management office was filled with the smell of that antiseptic. Surrounded by that smell, Buzz couldn't even sleep if he wanted to.

But after a week in the corpse management office, Bass has gradually adapted to the environment, and he is no longer afraid. Sitting in a chair with a knightly novel in his arms every night was a night, and time passed quickly, and slowly Buzz began to feel that this job was much easier than his previous job.

But just last night, something strange happened......
