The corpse carrier instinctively opened his mouth, but failed to make a sound.

The newborn soul did not know how to communicate with the power of the soul, and could only try to vibrate the vocal cords, but having lost his physical body, he had long since lost the ability to make sounds.

But it doesn't matter.

When he tried to start answering, it meant that he began to remember.

Turning the power of the soul into tiny tentacles, the song accurately pierced into the soul of the corpse carrier, reading the soul fluctuations caused by his memories.

This was a common method of communication used by Sur VII.

The difference is that Sur VII is active, and it can perfectly isolate specific images from his own memories and transmit them to the receiver through soul fluctuations.

The corpse carrier is passive, and he will not be unaware of such a complex technique, so he can only read it by the song of words.

He saw his shattered memories.

……

“…… No big deal! Don't jump! ”

"Boom-"

……

Half an hour ago, the corpse transporter got off work and took off his work clothes that smelled of corpses.

Twenty-five minutes ago, he was back in his dorm room on his back. He shouted "stink" as he entered, but nothing responded to him. He was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that his dog had been dead for days. He sat down in his chair and began to be in a daze.

Twenty minutes ago, he was still sitting in his chair in a daze. During this period, he kept looking at the peacock bracelet issued by the factory, which read: "Today's work evaluation: E".

Eighteen minutes ago, he got up, folded the bedding he had slept on, packed up the household garbage he had saved for two days, and put his daily belongings in order. When he saw a scarecrow doll that had been bitten by the stench, he hesitated and put it in his pocket.

Fifteen minutes ago, he had taken a shower, used up half a bar of soap, and rubbed his skin red, but he still couldn't seem to wash away the smell of corpses that seemed to penetrate deep into the bone marrow.

Ten minutes ago, he had changed into a new set of clothes he had just bought that had not yet been stained. People always want to die a decent death.

Nine minutes ago, he took one last look at his peacock bracelet, which read "Job Rating: E". He looked away and used it to open the door to the rooftop roof.

He struggled over the railing of the roof and stood on the outside of the railing.

He turned around, pressed his aching waist against the railing to make himself feel better, and then looked up at the orange-red sunset in a daze.

Five minutes ago, the door to the rooftop was pushed open again, and a crowd of people swarmed in.

Peacock, who sensed his abnormal behavior, informed the general manager and security personnel of the news that he had gone to the rooftop a few minutes ago.

The pot-bellied general manager hurried up and shouted to him with unprecedented anxiety: "Don't jump—don't jump!" ”

The corpse carrier glanced back at him.

Four minutes ago.

"Bang-"

His body fell heavily to the ground.

……

"So, you committed suicide?" Yan Luge asked, "Why do you want to die?" ”

The corpse carrier's soul floated in midair, and it seemed to become even more blurred than before.

Like his dying brain and dissipating thoughts.

However, under the influence of the power of the soul, he still couldn't help but think about the question that Yan Luge asked him.

So, why did he want to kill himself?

……

Ten minutes ago, the general manager and the security captain who rushed to the rooftop also asked him.

"Leave me alone...... Leave me alone......" The corpse carrier grasped the railing with both hands, turned his head, and muttered, "...... After all, I'm not an employee of a processing plant anymore, am I? ”

“…… What nonsense are you talking about? The corpse transporter had never seen before, but it was the general manager who managed the entire corpse processing plant and shouted at him.

The corpse carrier's hand clenched at the railing.

His hands were like dead wood, his knuckles were wide, but there were no muscles, only a loose layer of skin clinging.

"My evaluation of my work today is E again." The corpse carrier whispered, "I've been E every day for three months. Do you know what that means? ”

"......" the general manager was speechless.

He knew what that meant.

"This means that I am an unqualified corpse carrier. I'm useless, I'm going to be fired. The corpse carrier laughed, a little desolate, "Today, I broke my waist and can't carry heavy things anymore......

"Even if you're not up to the job of a corpse carrier, there are other jobs you can do!" The general manager said again.

The corpse carrier's eyes seemed to light up, and even his words were a little more hopeful: "Manager, can I be assigned another job in the processing plant?" ”

The general manager who shouted behind him said in a sluggish tone, and he stood up: "I, our processing plant has no choice." But you can look elsewhere. ”

"I've already asked Peacock." The corpse carrier's tone became low and desperate, "But I'm too bad, I'm too bad...... Even if it is, there is no way to recommend a new job for me......"

My waist started to hurt again.

The corpse bearer let go of a hand and rubbed his waist.

His action made the general manager tremble.

The corpse bearer was standing on the edge of the rooftop with only half a foot.

The outside of the fence is only about five centimeters wide, and it is difficult to stand firmly, so you can only desperately hold on to the railing to ensure that you can barely fall.

And now the corpse bearer has let go of a hand again, and it looks like it's shaky.

"Don't be afraid." The general manager shouted, "Even if you lose your job, it's not a big deal to become an E-category person!"

"You can choose to pay a waiver! It's only 100 gold/day! ”

The corpse transporter smiled bitterly: "My income as a corpse transporter is only 5 gold/day, and a few years ago, I went to the organ bank to mortgage myself, and I only got 500 gold...... Where do I have the money to pay the waiver? ”

"Then don't worry, this country will give everyone a chance!" The general manager shouted, "You can choose to go to the study institute to learn new skills again, and after you finish your studies, you can find a new job!"

"You have to believe me, believe in our country, and believe that the future under the Holy King is full of hope!"

But the term "Gakudoin" seems to have stimulated the corpse carriers.

He sneered, and replied indistinctly in the wind, "Gakuin? Who doesn't know what kind of place it is? Who doesn't have to go there several times a day to transport out a few corpses that died in a 'teaching accident'?

"In the early days, I wasn't a corpse carrier, I was a dentist...... But when I entered the academy and came out again, I could only be a corpse carrier......

"I'm old now, my waist is not good, my hands and feet are not flexible, my strength is gone, and I can't learn things......

"If I enter the academy again, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand up and get out......"
