Volume 2 Six Strange Tales of the East City Chapter 94 Freezer No. 4
Countless dust was deposited here, the walls on the left and right were dirty, and most importantly, there was a foul smell in the air.
Morin sniffed it carefully and could determine that it was the smell of formalin.
At this time, he and Liu Chengcheng had already stood at the bottom of the third basement floor, and there was a steel gate in front of them.
Liu Chengcheng stood in front of this door and asked, "Since you came here to work, you are mentally prepared." ”
Mo Lin nodded and said, "Master Liu, please rest assured, I have no fear of corpses. ”
Liu Chengcheng saw Mo Lin standing here still expressionless, his face was calm, and he really didn't have the slightest fear.
Liu Chengcheng smiled with a pale face and said, "Little doll, your concentration is really good, better than those previous boys." ”
After speaking, Liu Chengcheng didn't talk nonsense, took out two keys and handed them to Mo Lin, and said, "Listen, this is the key to the third and fourth floors of the basement, and it will be yours from today on." ”
Morin nodded, and without any nonsense, he opened the iron door in front of him.
As soon as I opened the door, I was greeted by an extremely cold smell mixed with formalin.
Although Mo Lin is already a Mr. Yin and Yang, he is still very disgusted by this smell.
The morgue on the third basement floor was extremely dark, except for an incandescent lamp in the middle of the ceiling that didn't touch very well.
No one can say why, but it's not a problem for a huge funeral parlor to have an incandescent lamp that can illuminate an entire morgue.
Maybe it's because the residents don't like it!
After all, this is the world of the dead.
The morgue has a row of freezers against the wall, each with a door half a meter square, with three floors at the top, middle and bottom, all of which look very old.
Needless to say, there was a bed in the middle of the morgue with no futon and only a white cloth.
Liu Chengcheng casually walked to a freezer and motioned for Mo Lin to open the freezer.
Morin walked over slowly, and pulled the freezer out without the slightest hesitation.
He saw a middle-aged man in a shroud lying in the freezer, the body was very intact and basically undamaged, so it could be judged that this middle-aged man should have died of illness.
"Child, are you afraid?" A smile appeared on Liu Chengcheng's face, and in this gloomy place, Liu Chengcheng's bloodless pale face showed a sly smile that was extremely terrifying.
It seemed that in Liu Chengcheng's eyes, Mo Lin would definitely tremble with fear from this real corpse.
But the result was a big disappointment for him.
Liu Chengcheng always repeats words such as "Are you afraid" and "This bowl of rice is not delicious", as the saying goes, dogs are annoyed when they say it three times! Maureen had already been impatient to listen.
But he still said patiently: "It's just a corpse, Master Liu, I'm really not afraid!" ”
Liu Cheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly, and said, "Okay, good, young people have courage!" Courageous! ”
Liu Cheng stiffened his body, pointed to the toes of the male corpse and said, "You see, there is a note on the foot of each corpse, on which is the name and age of the deceased. ”
"I'll also give you an information sheet in a moment to register the bodies that have been brought in and taken away, and that form will have information about all the corpses in this morgue."
"In the future, every time a corpse is brought in, you must also follow this process and register the corpse."
Liu Cheng paused and continued: "It is important to have courage to work in this place where yin and yang meet, but you must also abide by the rules here, or the taboo for those of us who are alive. ”
"First, in the face of the corpse, don't look at the corpse out of the corner of your eye, you should hit the attention in the face of the corpse, and don't be distracted!"
"Second, don't touch the taboo parts of the corpse, you are a man, it doesn't matter if you deal with the male corpse, but when facing a female corpse, I don't need to say more about which are the taboo parts!"
"Third, there must be no evil thoughts or disrespect for the corpse. Don't think that they are dead and think that nothing matters, because they are dead people, and the dead are greater, we should respect them even more. ”
"Fourth, you have to light incense every night when you are on duty, and you have to light three at a time, not more, not less, and you can only leave after watching the incense burn out."
"Fifth, this is the last and most important one, freezer No. 4 in the morgue on the fourth basement floor cannot be opened under any circumstances! No matter what happens, it can't be opened! ”
The first three of these five taboos for the living in the morgue are completely understandable, and the three points are understandable even if they are replaced by ordinary people, which is nothing more than that you want to have a reverence for the dead.
Fourth, ordinary people don't know, but Morin knows that the living have to eat, and the dead are no exception.
For the dead, the best incense is their best 'food', and the mood and needs of the dead can also be judged according to the burning of incense.
But the fifth ......
Mo Lin really didn't understand, and thought that he would have a chance to take a look, and with his own ability, he could see one or two even if he didn't open the freezer.
"Okay, let's go and rest if there's nothing to do." Liu Cheng put back the freezer containing the male corpse and said, "You will complete the rest of the work." ”
After speaking, Liu Chengcheng took Mo Lin to the top, and Mo Lin asked, "Master Liu, won't you take me to the fourth floor to take a look?" ”
Liu Chengcheng waved his hand and said: "There is nothing to see, the three-layer and four-layer structure are the same, that is, the No. 4 freezer, remember not to open it." ”
Mo Lin originally wanted to ask why, but seeing Liu Chengcheng's wrinkled face, which looked so serious, Mo Lin didn't want to ask too much.
Liu Cheng went back to the staff dormitory, but Morin didn't go back, he went to the surface and spun around near the underground morgue.
Although the area is mainly a morgue where corpses are kept, it is not deserted.
A hundred meters ahead of the morgue, there are many coffin shops, paper sellers, and a few restaurants.
After turning around, Maureen walked back, and when he returned, he saw a funeral cart parked at the door.
A middle-aged man was explaining something to Liu Chengcheng, and when Liu Chengcheng was about to memorize something with a notebook, he happened to see Mo Lin standing not far away.
He beckoned and shouted, "Morin, where have you gone, come and work." ”
Mo Lin hurriedly ran over, took Liu Chengcheng's registration form, and listened to the middle-aged man's narration.
"The deceased: Li Donglin, thirty-four years old Chinese New Year's Eve.
Cause of death: Crushed by a dirt truck. ”
The middle-aged man continued: "The day after tomorrow, the family will come to collect the body and take it to the crematorium. ”
Morin registered, carried the body on his back with the assistance of the middle-aged man, and then the middle-aged man drove away.
Morin carried the male corpse alone to the third basement floor.
"Whew!"
Maureen opened the iron door of the third-floor morgue and placed the body on the bed with only a white cloth.
After doing this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and sure enough, people will gain a lot of weight after death, but this little physical work still can't tire him.
Mo Lin slowly opened the body bag, there was no way, he didn't want to see the corpse, he was crushed to death by a dirt truck, the death must be extremely terrifying, but the body bag is not allowed in the freezer, so he still has to peel off the body bag.
Morin glanced at the corpse, his pupils shrank, and he immediately turned his head to the side and stopped looking at the corpse.
The corpse just now was really terrifying, half of the head of the deceased named Li Donglin was sunken, and there was a clearly visible, black hole hole in his chest and abdomen.
Morin gasped, and the cold sweat on his back came out.
To be honest, it was the first time he had seen such a terrifying corpse, and he thought that his future work would be dealing with corpses like this, so it was better to let him catch ghosts!
Thinking about it, Morin still endured this chill, hugged the corpse's leg with his right hand, dragged the corpse's back with his left hand, and slowly put the corpse in the freezer and closed it.
After doing this, Morin clapped his hands, and was about to leave when an ethereal voice suddenly came from behind him:
"Children~ Thank you!"
Maureen hurriedly turned back, but there was no one behind him.
Merlin slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his pupils turned golden and he looked around again.
As mentioned earlier, Mo Lin's innate yin and yang eyes are divided into six stages, the naked eye, the earth eye, the law eye, the wisdom eye, the heavenly eye and the divine eye.
Now Mo Lin's yin and yang eyes have completely reached the realm of earth eye communication, in addition to being able to observe the good luck and evil of the feng shui bureau, he also found that his yin and yang eyes can be controlled at will.
When you don't need it, as long as you move your mind, the yin and yang eyes will automatically close and open when you need it.
This time, Morin saw a different scene in the morgue with his upgraded yin and yang eyes, and dozens of ghosts stood throughout the morgue, wandering aimlessly here.
The one who said thank you to Mo Lin just now was the middle-aged male corpse Li Donglin who had just been transported.
Morin smiled, pretended not to see them, and said, "No thanks, if you come, you will be safe." ”
With that, Morin bowed, turned around and left.
As soon as he went out, he saw Liu Chengcheng standing at the door, looking at him with a frown.
Mo Lin asked, "Master Liu, are you okay?" ”
Liu Cheng said slowly: "Where did you run just now?" ”
"I went around the neighborhood to see the environment."
"You've seen it all around!" Liu Chengcheng said: "There are often corpses transported here, and you can't leave casually when you work here in the future, as soon as you leave, the corpse transporter can't find you, so what can people do!" ”
Mo Lin nodded and said, "Well, Master Liu, don't worry, I won't next time." ”
Liu Cheng nodded and left on his own.
Maureen had wanted to go back to the staff quarters, but he glanced at the staircase entrance on the fourth floor further down.
He hadn't gone down to see the fourth floor yet, and just as he had nothing to do, Morin walked to the lower floor.
