Chapter 23, the mourning hall is frightened
Are you related to Shihan? Shangguan Xin asked with a faint smile.
I roughly explained why I appeared here, Shangguan Xin was a little stunned after hearing this: You are the student of the legendary funeral science? Is it true that we heard that there is a morgue in front of our college?
Lao Song specially explained this to me: Because of the special nature of funeral science, there is a morgue in front of the courtyard, but ordinary students don't know about it, so Shangguan Xin asks like this.
Hehe, I've only been here for two days, so I'm not very clear. But since I'm a student in the Department of Funeral Services, I'll do it as an internship. But it's you, Shangguan Xin: You have a really good relationship with Zhao Shihan, and you actually came to wake her spirit?
Do you think it's strange that a girl of mine would come and wake a friend's spirit by herself? Shangguan Xin keenly grasped my key point, and then said softly: Actually, you know what? I think Shihan's death is strange
What's the oddity?
Just as I was asking, a big man in black suddenly appeared in front of me: Zhao Haocheng walked over.
Boy, since it's just a staff member, can you sit on the sidelines! This is my sister's funeral hall! Zhao Haocheng glared at me angrily, and then looked at Shangguan Xin with a gentle gaze: This classmate, your name is Shangguan Xin, isn't it? It's getting late, you нéi уāп Gê
Thank you, I don't need to, I want to talk to this classmate, could you please stand away? Shangguan Xin said coldly.
The first contact slammed a big nail, Zhao Haocheng didn't know how to say it, but looking at me, his expression was almost the same as the bull's eyes when he saw the red cloth.
Picking up girls in front of your sister's mourning hall? You're good enough.
For a while, Zhao Haocheng didn't leave or not, and when he was embarrassed, his eyes suddenly went dark.
The mourning hall has a power outage?
The funeral parlor is a special unit with a backup power supply, and the power outage only lasted less than 3 seconds, and the backup power was started immediately, but this backup power supply will not be the same as the regular power supply, which can only ensure the emergency lighting in the mourning hall and the power of facilities such as ice coffins.
The whole mourning hall was dimmed, only the edge of the ice coffin and the place with emergency lights against the wall were brighter.
In the moment of the power outage, I felt a small hand grab my wrist.
That hand felt small and tender, but it was very cold, and it felt like it should be Shangguan Xin's hand, and the son grabbed me hard.
It's also a normal thing for a girl to suddenly grab the hand of the boy next to her because of nervousness, and when three seconds passed, the moment the emergency power came on, I suddenly felt a chill all over my body.
Emergency lights are rarely used, so they flash before they turn on.
But at that shining moment, I suddenly felt that it was not Shangguan Xin sitting next to me.
It's Zhao Shihan!
Zhao Shihan's eyes were wide open, still in the same state of death, wearing the student uniform we put on for her personally, and pinched my wrist with a cold hand.
In an instant, I felt as if a bomb was exploding in my head, and all the Mao Confucius in the whole person was opened, and my heart began to beat wildly!
But it all happened for a split second, and then I felt like everything in front of me was blurry again, and then it became clear again.
It was Shangguan Xin who was still pinching my wrist, and she also looked nervous, and leaned towards me, exactly like a normal frightened girl.
But what did I see in that moment?
How could there be a power outage? Shangguan Xin complained.
Before I could speak, I heard a bang from the side, like something falling on the ground.
Shangguan Xin and I turned our heads to see: Zhao Haocheng actually knelt on the ground, facing Zhao Shihan's ice coffin, and the whole person kept shaking.
Feed! I called him, and Zhao Haochengzi raised his head, first looked at the ice coffin, and then turned his head to look at us.
Zhao Haocheng's face looked so distorted: it was as if the muscles of the whole face were out of control, and it was the first time I had ever seen a human face make such an expression?
What happened to you? I asked tentatively.
You, you, you, Zhao Haocheng gasped a few breaths, and it seemed that he couldn't stand up, and he couldn't say anything.
Although his face was facing us, I could tell that his gaze did not hit my face, but focused on Shangguan Xin's face behind me.
Uh, uh, uh, Zhao Haochengzi seemed to be trying to stand up but couldn't, and then took a few steps back with his hands and feet, and hit a table in the mourning hall.
Then he was like a dog, using his hands and feet together, and crawled out of the mourning hall directly!
This is?
It's funny
Shangguan Xin behind me chuckled, and at this time, the lights of the entire mourning hall were all turned on again, and the power seemed to be fully restored.
I glanced at Shangguan Xin beside me again, and she was no different from just now.
Realizing that she had pinched my wrist, Shangguan Xin let go of my hand a little embarrassed and said: I'm sorry, I'm a little nervous when the power goes out.
I nodded and didn't speak.
I am a person who has studied physical arts and autopsy in my family since I was a child, and I am fully confident in my consciousness and nerves, and I will never be controlled.
But at that moment, I felt very clearly: I saw Zhao Shihan, who had died a long time ago, sitting next to me!
It's definitely not that I'm in a trance or mislooking, it's that someone is showing something like an illusion around me.
If not, then there is a ghost around me!
And the only living thing around me now is this Shangguan Xin.
Zhao Haocheng, that guy is finally gone, shall we continue the topic just now? Shangguan Xin said with a smile.
Eh, can I ask you one thing first, Shangguan Xin. I took a breath and said, "You are just an ordinary girl, why can you stay in an empty mourning hall with a man who is still a stranger?" With a corpse?
Weird, right? Shangguan Xin smiled and said: I actually studied law, and the Chinese language class is my elective subject, and I met Shihan in the Hanfu Club.
Sitting down, she smiled and said to me: Since I was a child, I have not been afraid of corpses and other things, because I have a strange characteristic: I have a good memory, and I am the fastest at memorizing the law in the law department, because I have a very perverted study habit: I like to read books in more terrifying places such as graves.
Reading at the grave? I don't understand.
The more I read in this kind of scary place, the more I can concentrate, when I was studying in my hometown, since junior high school, I often took a book and flashlight to read near the grave near my home, and the effect was very good, this habit has been used until now, but there seems to be nothing very scary in our school, so I often find some places where no one or very few people go to read in the middle of the night.
That's why I'm not afraid of corpses or funeral homes at all, am I a bit perverted?
I nodded: it's not a pervert, it's just a matter of one's habits.
Thank you, in addition, this is Shihan's mourning hall, I am very familiar with her, and besides, you are here, why should I be afraid? Shangguan Xin said with a smile.
Okay, to you, what did you just say that Zhao Shihan's death was strange? I looked at Shangguan Xin and asked.
This starts from the very beginning, are you interested in hearing it? And it touches on some topics between girls. Shangguan Xin said with some twist.
It's okay, it's okay anyway, you just say it's okay.
Well, it's 12 o'clock, wait.
Shangguan Xin looked at the wall clock in the mourning hall and stood up, and I also stood up with him.
In the mourning hall, every time there is a punctuality, you need to burn three incense sticks for the deceased, the rules of each place are different, Zhao Shanfu asked me to help him take care of his daughter, the main meaning is to ask me to help him burn incense and take care of Chang Minghuo.
The ever-bright flame is an oil lamp lit with vegetable oil at the bottom of the observation, and this lamp cannot be extinguished according to the regulations, so you should pay attention to refueling at any time.
However, these procedures have now been simplified in many places: the ever-bright flame has actually become an electric light, which can be regarded as a kind of keeping pace with the times.
At 12 o'clock on time, after burning three incense sticks, Shangguan Xin looked at his ancient costume and said that it was a little inappropriate: This dress is very good-looking, but it still feels uncomfortable to wear it for a long time, is there a room here to change clothes?
Although this mourning hall is large, there is only one toilet and a family lounge as ancillary facilities on the side, and I saw that only the family lounge, that is, the room where Liu Yuwei is sleeping, can be used.
Go there. I gestured to the next room.
Ok thanks. Shangguan Xin brought a pocket with clothes in it when she came, and walked to the family lounge, and I looked inside.
This room is not big, there are only two beds in it, one of which Liu Yuwei has already occupied, and she is sleeping soundly.
Okay, you wait a bit.
I nodded knowingly, closed the door and returned to the mourning hall.
At this time, it seems that the power supply is still somewhat unstable, and the lights flashed again, but there was no power outage.
Looking at the door behind me, I immediately rushed to the edge of the ice coffin without a sound.
Because Shangguan Xin never left the ice coffin, we didn't have a chance to go up to see what the situation was.
I immediately rushed to the ice coffin, and when I saw the situation inside, my hair immediately stood on end!
The corpse has opened its eyes!
The ice coffin was covered with a quilt, and Zhao Shihan, who was wearing a student uniform, actually had his eyes open!
How can a corpse open its eyes in an ice coffin?
