Chapter 124: A Haunted Legend
The light of the flashlight was projected on the tattered sign for a long time, and I came to my senses, and the hair on my back was coaxing, and I should have a white sweat.
I know what this place is.
In the early years, funeral parlors were called crematoriums, which were only responsible for burning people, and whoever died would pull them over directly, push them into the stove, burn them, and put the ashes together, and the family members would take them away.
Later, the market was invigorated, and the crematorium undertook funeral matters, and added new businesses and launched various new projects, in fact, it was all money.
Jinyi Crematorium also followed the pace of the market and started a one-stop service, but despite the limited area of the previous factory, it requisitioned land in the northern suburbs of the city to build a new funeral home.
The place where I am now is the funeral parlor in the northern suburbs, but it has long been abandoned.
The reason for the desolation sounds a bit outrageous - haunted.
Rumor has it that after the funeral parlor was built and put into use, strange things happened.
When the stoker cremated the body, there were often cases where the body was burned, but the head was not at all, and when the crematorium was opened to collect the ashes, the head was still intact.
What's even more strange is that this head has round eyes, and its eyes are big, round and red, full of resentment, and it has frightened several stokers.
When this situation first appeared, the funeral home was afraid that this matter would cause panic, so it forcibly suppressed it, and only handed over the normal ashes to the family of the deceased, and those heads that could not be burned were secretly buried in the courtyard of the funeral home.
The more the head is buried, all kinds of strange things begin to emerge one after another.
The first to report that the funeral parlor was haunted was a family member of the deceased.
The man's father-in-law died, and he was keeping a vigil in the funeral parlor with his wife's relatives and other relatives, and when his wife wanted to go to the toilet at night, one of them was afraid, so he asked him to follow him.
The toilet of the funeral home was in the yard, and by coincidence, the light in the toilet was broken that day.
The man was afraid that his wife would be afraid, so he followed him into the women's bathroom.
Funeral parlors, there are basically no people in this kind of ghost place at night, and the man doesn't feel anything wrong.
The women's toilet is separated by a block of baffles, there is no door, only three squatting positions, and when the man enters, he sees a person squatting on the innermost squatting position by the moonlight.
He felt a little embarrassed and immediately walked out.
When his wife came out, he told his wife about it, which was quite embarrassing and a little embarrassed.
I didn't want his wife to listen to him, so I dragged him and ran for his life, until he ran to a place where there was someone before stopping.
He was a little baffled, so he asked what was going on, and his wife gasped and told him that she could see clearly, that there was no one above the innermost squatting position.
Later, many internal employees of the funeral home began to resign, and some things were no longer a secret after the resignation.
Some people say that when working the night shift at a funeral home at night, they often meet strangers, and at first everyone doesn't know what is going on, and occasionally they will say hello or say hello. As soon as you open your mouth, no matter what you say, the person will turn back and ask, "Do you see my head?" ”
The person who turned around had no facial features at all, and his entire face was a piece of black charcoal......
Later, more and more people resigned, and seeing that there were few people left, there was no way, so the relevant departments invited a Taoist priest.
After looking around, the Taoist priest said that these ghosts were those whose heads had not been incinerated, and their bodies were taken away by their families and their heads were buried in the funeral home. The corpse was separated and could not be reincarnated, so he came back to look for the head.
You have to wait for the evening to get rid of them.
So that night, the funeral home collectively took a holiday, leaving only the Taoist priest there.
However, the next day when the employees came to work, they found that the Taoist priest had been burned to death.
The corpse was still hot, emitting a foul smell of roasting meat, and everything but the head was almost burned.
A pair of eyes were round, blood-red, and the most soul-stirring thing was that he was lying in the hall of the funeral home, without a single combustible material around......
In short, the news of the haunting of the funeral parlor was widely spread in Jinyi. To this end, the relevant departments also opened a special section in the Jinyi Daily to clarify the matter and calm the panic.
Within a few days, the funeral home was deactivated and moved back to its former crematorium.
Counting up, this funeral parlor has been built for ten years, but because of its remote location and lack of popularity, the house has long been dilapidated and looks like an old house of more than 20 years. Coupled with that weird legend, it looks creepy in the middle of the night.
What happened to Xu Yuanzhi after he was discharged from the hospital? Caused him to run away to such a hellish place?
Thinking like this, I looked into the courtyard, and there was no one in it!
The puppies are gone, too!
In the wilderness, in front of the dilapidated funeral parlor, I was the only one......
At this moment, there was not even a trace of wind, and it was surprisingly quiet, quiet and terrifying, and only my heart was beating "fluttering".
"Kuroko—"
I shouted at the top of my voice.
"Kuroko" is the name I gave to the dog cub on the way back from the ancestral grave of Li Quan's family in the morning.
At this moment, I realized how good it was, and how I wished it heard my call, ran out of it, circled me a few times, and was with me.
But after shouting for a long time, there was no movement around at all, but it was my shout, dragging a long echo in the night, which made it even more eerie.
Cold sweat unconsciously ran down his back, and the waistband of his pants was wet.
To say that I'm not afraid is to brag, although I've seen quite a few ghosts before......
What should I do now?
The command from the brain is to leave quickly, but I am still worried about Xu Yuanzhi in my heart.
Soul out of body is a very draining thing, ordinary people can't do it at all, even if they are profound, they will never do it unless they are forced to do it......
It seems that Xu Yuanzhi must have encountered some big trouble, so he did not hesitate to lose his vitality and spirit out of his body to ask me for help.
Thinking about it, I gritted my teeth, my heart was horizontal, and I walked towards the door of the funeral home with the bone sword in my hand.
On the gate, the iron general guarded the door, and I pushed it twice, but not only did I not push it, but I also got a hand of rust.
I had no choice but to climb the wall.
The wall was like the dividing line between the two worlds, and the moment I climbed in, I felt like I was far away from the world.
The low temperature made me shiver, and my sweaty hand gripped the bone sword tightly.
It's now my only psychological support.
Where to go first?
Going to the lobby?
In the middle of the night, walking alone in this legendary haunted place, God knows what kind of mood I am......
Nervous, scared, afraid......
None of these words are enough to describe how I feel now, I just feel my legs go limp.
I always felt that the heads of those people who had not been burned were under my feet, and I always felt that in the half-human deep grass on both sides of the road, a person would suddenly stand up and ask me, do you see my head......
Wait a minute......
