Chapter 338: The Ash Jar

Pumpkin and I went into the two-story building.

The decoration in the small building is very old, and there are many bonsai in the small hall. Near the east side of the corridor, there is a door open, and you can see that there are many iron shelves inside. On the shelves are jars of ashes of different colors.

Pumpkin and I were both in this kind of place for the first time, and we were a little nervous.

At this moment, a man came out of a room in the hallway. The man is in his forties, with a short beard, a straight nose, and a square face.

"Are you here to collect the ashes?" The man asked.

I replied, "No, we're here to worship our friends." As I spoke, I raised the bouquet of flowers in my hand a little higher.

The man frowned slightly, and said, "Worship the deceased, you should go to the cemetery, why did you come here?" ”

I rearranged the previous lie.

The man listened to me and asked me, "What is the name of your deceased friend?" ”

It makes me feel embarrassed, where do I have friends here?

So I thought about it for a while, smiled and said, "I know my friend's nickname, it's Tiezi, but his name, to be honest, I really don't know." ”

The man was a little displeased when I said this, and said, "You don't even know your friend's name, isn't that nonsense?" Hurry up and get out of here, and come back when you have asked your family and your friends' names. By the way, there is also the number of the tombstone, when the time comes, you can just find it yourself. ”

I said, "Big brother, can you help us check." My friend Tiezi and we only have one side relationship, but he is a special person. We admired him, so we came to worship him. ”

As I spoke, I took out a pack of soft china from my pocket and handed it to the man.

The man put away the cigarette, his face softened, and said, "Okay, then you come with me, and I'll check it for you." I have a picture in my register, you should know the picture of the deceased, right? ”

I said, "Know... Thank you, big brother. ”

The man took me and the pumpkin to a room.

It was a small room, with a computer on the table and a black leather sofa next to it.

The man took a blue-skinned folder from the side of the computer. As soon as we opened the folder, the man asked us, "When did that friend of yours die?" ”

I thought about it for a moment and said, "It was a week ago." ”

The man flipped through the folder, handed it to me, and said, "There are pictures on it, you can find it yourself." ”

I took the folder and looked at it for a while, found a person who had died a week ago, pointed at it, and said, "This is the person." ”

The man took the folder back and said in a deep voice: "The deceased's name is Zhang Lei, and the tombstone number is 258, you can go and find it yourself." ”

With that, the man put the folder away. But we're not here to find Zhang Lei.

I pretended to be grateful and replied, "Okay, thank you, big brother." ”

Then, I winked at the pumpkin. Pumpkin understood, and then interrupted, accosted the man, and said: "Big brother, there are not many staff in your cemetery, why are you the only one here, the work must be very hard, right?" ”

The man took a sip of tea, did not suspect it, and replied: "No, there are indeed not many employees in our eastern suburbs cemetery, only seven or eight people, including the guards." Most of them are at the funeral home. On my side, it's just me. All day long, I'm so busy with dead people's affairs, and I'm annoyed to death. ”

"That's... It's not a good place to work. ”

I chimed in and said casually, "And, over here, I always feel eerie when I come here." After all, it's a cemetery, and it's still quite scary. I've seen some horror movies before, and when I think of this cemetery, it's even more terrifying. ”

The man said, "No, the cemetery is indeed not a good place." A few years ago, it was rumored that our side was haunted. However, I've been working here for a few years, and I've encountered strange things, but I haven't really seen any ghosts or gods, they are all the families of those who have died, and they are talking nonsense everywhere. ”

This man's words made my heart happy. You must know that when Qi Zhenhai helped me with divination and deduction before, he said that there were a lot of ghosts in this eastern suburbs cemetery. Since there are ghosts, then hauntings must exist. Maybe if you find the source of the haunting, you will be able to find the Yin and Yang Codex.

Pumpkin said evilly next to him: "Isn't it, is there still a haunted legend in the cemetery?" ... Big brother, you're making a big joke. ”

The man smiled and said, "I'm not joking. Over here, it might be really haunted. Some time ago, a little couple came to us at night to ask for excitement and play live broadcast... Our grave keepers didn't see them either. ”

It wasn't until the next day that the grave keeper found the couple in the cemetery. However, the little couple was very frightened. The women are mentally problematic, and what do they say they saw the ghost of a little girl......"

"You say, the young ones are really not fun, they don't play in the world of flowers outside, and they go to the cemetery to ask for excitement, isn't it to scare themselves. Although the two young men claimed to have seen ghosts, few believed them. ”

"I see, eighty percent of them are psychological, cranky. It's like watching a horror movie, often there are no ghosts, they are scared by themselves. ”

This man he mentions "grave keepers". The grave keeper is actually a night watchman, preventing outsiders from entering the cemetery and disturbing the spirits of the deceased.

I thought about it, and said that since there is a grave keeper in this eastern suburbs cemetery, then perhaps, that grave keeper knows more about the eastern suburbs cemetery. And since the tomb keeper is a tomb keeper, he must have his own doorway, maybe the tomb keeper knows the whereabouts of the Yin and Yang Classics of the Spiritual Weapon.

This is also a clue.

I pretended not to know, and asked curiously, "Big brother, what does the grave keeper do?" Aren't they scared when they stay in the cemetery? ”

When the man heard me say this, he shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid, I don't know." Anyway, the grave keeper is quite profitable. Our old Du, he is the grave keeper. Their monthly salary is several times that of us. It's really enviable. ”

"But then again, this cemetery isn't a good place either, it's full of ghosts, and you might be able to make a fuss about it sometime. In case, if you do encounter something dirty in the cemetery, it will be difficult. ”

Pumpkin stood aside and said with a smile: "Big brother, don't you believe that there are ghosts, why do you say that there are dirty things in the cemetery." ”

The man glanced at the pumpkin and replied, "I mean there are no ghosts, but it's daytime, and if it's nighttime, who knows if there are ghosts." As the saying goes, it is better to believe what it has than not to believe what it does not have. Ghosts have been a lot of legends since ancient times, and they have been passed down in a thousand ways. ”

"Maybe one day a ghost will pop up, we don't know yet."

When this man speaks, he is really a little upside down, one moment he doesn't believe in ghosts, and the other time he believes it. Pumpkin and I wondered if there was something wrong with his brain.

At this, the man stopped, looked at me and the pumpkin with strange eyes, and asked a little suspiciously, "Why are you asking these things, do you want to see ghosts?" ”

The pumpkin didn't make a sound.

I laughed, "How can it, ghosts are terrible, we don't want to see them." Big brother, don't scare us. ”

The man listened to my words and smiled.

I thought about it for a moment and said, "Actually, my eldest brother won't tell you, my profession is the editor of a horror magazine, and I am most interested in ghosts and other things. ”

When the man heard me say this, his face showed surprise: "What, are you a magazine editor, or is it related to terror?" ... Is it just editing the stories of gods and ghosts? ”

I chimed in, "That's right, big brother, you're right. ”

When the man heard me say this, he was interested, and said nervously: "If you are really an editor, then I can really provide you with some material." Because I've had strange things happen in this cemetery. ”

"Strange things? ... Materials? I hurriedly said, "If there is material, it will be even better." ”

The man sat us down on the couch, and then he approached us and told us a strange thing that had happened to him. According to him, it could be true, or it could be his delusion.

The man said that a month ago, he encountered a strange thing. It was a rainy day, and there was no work at the cemetery in the eastern suburbs, so he left work early. But halfway through, he found his phone in the office.

Every night, the man uses his mobile phone to chat with his wife, who is a strict wife, and his wife's suspicion is serious. Every night, he had to make a video call. Someone may also call him.

So, he hurriedly drove back to the Eastern Suburbs Cemetery in order to retrieve his mobile phone.

It was very dark, black, and he walked alone on the long road.

There are no street lights here, which is scary. But he has a flashlight in his hand, so he's not so scared. Although he didn't believe in ghosts, subconsciously, according to his guess, ghosts might also exist.

So he felt very scared when he returned to the Eastern Suburbs Cemetery alone. However, he walked very fast, and it was only a few minutes before he reached the side of the small building. Opening the door with the key, he entered the small building.

The phone was on the office side, and he came directly to pick it up.

After taking the phone, he was ready to leave. Unexpectedly, at this time, in the room where the ashes were placed, there was a sudden "popping" sound, like the sound of the ashes jar falling to the ground and breaking.

Hearing that voice, he was frightened.

But he didn't think more about ghosts and gods, but felt that maybe a thief had entered the small building.

Inside that room, there is a special urn for ashes. Some of the urns have been there for a long time, and they have not been claimed. In addition, the Eastern Suburbs Cemetery has been established for a long time, so there are still a lot of ash jars in the house.

And he's the caretaker of these columbariums, so he can't let people destroy them.

Cautiously, the man went to the house.

The door was closed. He leaned on the door and listened inside, but the sound of the altar slamming disappeared at once.

Could it be that I heard it wrong? He thought so.

So he took out the key, and he opened the room.

When he entered the room and turned on the light, he found that there was indeed a broken ash jar on the ground. The ashes in the urn were scattered everywhere.

He also used a flashlight to shine outside, but because the house was not very large, there was no place to hide. So he didn't see anything wrong.

It seems that the ash jar fell on its own.

So he was afraid that he would be discovered by the leaders the next day, so he took matters into his own hands and found a similar ash jar, put the ashes back in, and installed them. But as soon as he finished packing up his things and was about to leave, there was a "creaking" sound at the door.

It scared him so much that he almost lost his mind.

The door slowly opened, as if someone had pulled it open from within. But he didn't see the man at all. So, he hurriedly left the room where the ash jar was placed, and left the small building.

However, as soon as he walked out of the small building and walked on the road, he heard a very soft voice. The sound was footsteps, coming from behind him. When he heard the voice, he felt a tingling in his scalp and a cold sweat on his back.

He hurriedly stood on his feet and slowly looked behind him, but saw nothing.

The footsteps also stopped.
