Chapter 217: Into the Incineration Chamber
Li Muyu watched Zhang Yue be silent and busy for a long time, and the sky outside naturally became dark. The bleak moon was like a pale face, staring at the uninhabited cemetery in the western suburbs, which was full of tombstones.
Naturally, the Western Suburbs Cemetery returned to that dead silence after nightfall, and the families who were reluctant to leave because of the death of their families also withdrew from the Western Suburbs Cemetery before the night fell. After all, the night here is not reserved for the living.
The lights in the gatehouse of the cemetery in the western suburbs are still on. The sound of the TV could be faintly heard from inside, but the sound only sounded in such a cemetery with an indescribable strange atmosphere.
The old man in the porter stared at the TV screen, and he didn't care about the time outside the porter. Even occasionally, some vague figures passed through the iron gate, and the old man didn't care at all.
Li Muyu kept staring at Zhang Yue, and because Zhang Yue was no longer willing to speak, he was worried about it, and gradually, Li Muyu seemed to forget that this was the Western Suburbs Cemetery, and that this was a place for the living to avoid. It wasn't until the sky was getting darker and darker that Li Muyu suddenly felt a hint of coldness in the quiet, and he suddenly remembered where he was, and at the same time, Li Muyu also felt the increasingly strange atmosphere around him.
Just when a chill arose in Li Muyu's heart, Guoming suddenly appeared and called Zhang Yue into the crematorium behind, and Zhang Yue left. Li Muyu should have chased after him immediately, but when he stepped on the general step, Li Muyu stopped suddenly. Because when Zhang Yue left, he gave Li Muyu a warning look. At the same time, Li Muyu saw that in the passage leading to the crematorium, a figure faintly appeared.
The passage was lit up, so a figure appeared, although it was only a flash, Li Muyu could still see it very clearly. Li Muyu didn't pay attention to Zhang Yue's warning, but noticed the figure in the aisle. Guoming called Zhang Yue, who was facing away from the passage, so only Li Muyu saw a sudden change in the passage.
Li Muyu frowned and looked carefully towards the passage, but found that the black shadow he had just seen flickered and disappeared again. Li Muyu's heart was a little low. The reason for the depression was very simple, because Li Muyu recognized the strange shadow, and that shadow was one of the four Li Muyu saw in the hospital. Li Muyu was very sure, because everything that happened in the hospital that day left a deep impression on Li Muyu.
Li Muyu watched Guoming and Zhang Yue disappear into the passage without knowing it.
Li Muyu secretly said bad in his heart, and after Guoming and Zhang Yue left, he chased after the passage. The passage was at the back of the funeral hall. The wooden door, which was originally closed, will be completely open. Although the passage is very spacious, I don't know if it's because of the architecture here, and it seems a little depressing to walk inside.
The passageway, like the usual corridor, is nothing out of the ordinary. It's just that the pale light shines on the equally pale wall, and the glare looks a little cold.
Li Muyu walked forward along the passage. The steps made a clicking sound when they stepped on the ground. However, after Li Muyu took a few steps, his steps began to tremble a little, and at the same time, a trace of fear rose in his heart.
Because when Li Muyu walked forward, Li Muyu felt that someone seemed to be following him. This feeling is particularly noticeable. However, it is also obvious that there will be no one here except Li Muyu at all.
Li Muyu didn't believe that he felt that there was no problem, because Li Muyu not only had hair on his back, but also felt the feeling of following people behind him. Suddenly, Li Muyu heard that in addition to his own footsteps, there was a strange sound in the empty corridor. The sound was like the rubbing of special materials against each other, or the whispering of someone around them.
Li Muyu didn't turn his head, because Li Muyu knew that even if he turned his head, what he saw would be a blank, so Li Muyu had to suppress the fear in his heart, and his steps sped up a few points and rushed forward.
It's a little funny to say, Li Muyu rushed forward at this time, not to arrest Guoming and Zhang Yue, but to protect the two. Because all these subtle changes that are happening around them indicate that they are coming.
……
Walking through this aisle, Li Muyu also walked out of this courtyard in the funeral hall hall. What appeared in front of Li Muyu was an incineration room about the size of the hall.
In some places, crematoriums and funeral parlors are separated, but the Western Suburbs Cemetery seems to be an exception, where the two places are located entirely in the same building and are connected by a corridor.
In fact, in this building, there is not only a funeral hall, but Li Muyu is located in the closest place to the door, and he goes straight down the corridor. It's an incineration chamber. I don't know how many funeral halls there are, but this incineration room is only such a large one.
Walking into the incineration room, the first thing Li Muyu saw was rows of metal incinerators. Previously, Guoming said that he was cleaning the incinerator. Naturally, it's cleaning up the things in front of you.
Due to the continuous renewal of equipment, the individual incinerator is becoming smaller and smaller, which also makes it possible to place many incinerators in one incineration room. However, although the incinerator is getting more and more advanced. But cleaning up has never been easier. After all, after the body has been incinerated, there will always be something left on the inner wall of the incinerator that is not easy to mention.
In the past, it was necessary to have workers with shovels to turn the corpses, but now, with the renewal of the incinerator, such workers are no longer needed. After all, anyone who sees the corpses of their loved ones being constantly hooked and flipped after their deaths will not feel good psychologically.
But even so, the incineration of corpses is still a difficult thing to talk about. Because when the body is burned, a gas is produced inside the body, so the body is slashed several times by the workers before incineration. Later, after the body is incinerated into ashes, the larger ashes are broken up by the workers, and only a small fraction of the ashes are collected into the urn. In short, this matter has always been a difficult thing to talk about and comment on.
Li Muyu looked at these incinerators, and naturally remembered these bad things in his heart. I couldn't help frowning a little deeper.
The lights were also on in the incineration room, but the light still couldn't dispel the gloomy atmosphere. Li Muyu vigilantly paid attention to the movements around him. Because Li Muyu not only has to look for Guoming and Zhang Yue, but more importantly, Li Muyu has to watch out for those things at any time. Li Muyu knew that they were coming, and followed him to this incineration room.
