Chapter 182: Laughter in the middle of the night
My name is Zhou Haiqiang and I work at a funeral home. That's right, it's the kind of job you want with a high salary, dealing with dead people all day long.
My daily tasks here are to carry the bodies, store them, burn them, and make night patrols. As long as I save enough money, I will go back to the village, marry a daughter-in-law, and live the life of a wife and children (rè) kangtou.
However, I have to say that the welfare of the funeral home (tǐng) is intimate, and all employees who have worked here for 20 years will have an internal (tào) meal after death: the freezing fee is free, and the ashes are half price!
According to the schedule, it was my turn to work the night shift today, and at ten o'clock, I picked up the flashlight on my desk and started patrolling the night.
In the past, night patrols only required symbolism (xìng) to walk around, but later, because of the rampant theft of corpses, the leaders above had a head (rè) and stipulated that they must go to the morgue for inspection in the future.
They also had to check whether the corpses that were put in the freezer that day were consistent with the records, and as soon as this rule came out, the colleagues on the side of (shēn) immediately complained bitterly.
There are also guards in the morgue, and the guard is a middle-aged man, and everyone calls him Zhang Mazi. Zhang Mazi is in his forties this year, an old bachelor, and the whole family is not hungry when he eats alone.
After walking around, I soon came to the morgue, and as soon as I opened the door, I was shivering with a cold air. Damn, which turtle grandson turned the temperature of the central air conditioning in the morgue so low?
While cursing in my heart, I shouted into a small dark room on the right side of the morgue: "Lao Zhang, have you slept, talk to me." ”
shouted twice, there was no voice of Zhang Mazi in the small black room, I was a little puzzled in my heart, usually Zhang Mazi was in the room at this point, as soon as he heard my voice, he would immediately come out with a smile and talk to me for a while. How is it silent today?
Maybe something is out, I thought to myself.
There was no one to chat with me, so I had to do business, picked up the notebook hanging on the wall to record the corpses in storage, grabbed a handful of fried peanuts that Zhang Mazi put on the table, walked to the freezer and began to count.
The mortuary at the funeral home has a label on it that records the freezer's number, the deceased's name, age, home address, and cause of death. I took the notebook and started checking them one by one.
The deceased in the first freezer was named Li Haixia, and the cause of death was hanging. This is an old man, who lived to be eighty-two years old, and worked hard all his life to raise his son, but his son didn't want her when he found his daughter-in-law, and he didn't have three meals, and then because he couldn't stand the bullying of his daughter-in-law, he simply found a crooked neck tree and hanged himself.
I still went to pull the corpse, and it looked miserable! The tongue was sticking out, the eyes were about to bulge, and I refused to close my eyes after several strokes, and I didn't blink my eyes to death.
The deceased in the second freezer was a man, Wu Dalang, who was only 32 years old. begged a wife, and he worked tirelessly to earn money outside to support his family, but his wife stole people at home behind his back.
After being broken by him, his wife simply joined hands with her husband (jiān) and hacked him to death. According to Xiao Fei, a colleague who made up makeup, the deceased was slashed more than 80 times up and down, almost no one was good.
Because they are all old corpses, these corpses are either not caught by the murderer, or they are unclaimed, or they are simply ignored by the family, so the corpses that were sent today were quickly counted.
"Yue Xiaonan, female, twenty-four years old, **?" I glanced at the information in the notebook and threw a peanut into my mouth, feeling that the name was a little familiar.
After thinking about it for a long time, I remembered that I heard Xiaofei mention it when I handed over today's shift.
"Tut, Haiqiang, let me tell you, didn't you see it, today I gave the deceased named Yue Xiaonan who was restrained, look like that on the ID photo, as beautiful as a fairy, have you seen it? I can't even paint her makeup. ”
A lump of carbon?
Xiao Fei's words made my heart itch, and after thinking about it, I decided to open the freezer and see what the dead man was lying inside.
I said to myself in my heart, just take a look, and when I'm done, I'll close it, and no one will see it anyway.
As soon as my hand was on the handle of the freezer, before I could exert any force, there was a sudden snap, and the lights in the morgue went out, and the whole room was suddenly plunged into total darkness.
I was instantly stupefied.
The power supply to the funeral home has always been guaranteed, and even if the power is sometimes cut off, the funeral home has its own backup power supply, and under normal circumstances (qíng) there will be no such sudden power failure.
Could it be that which deflated calf is joking with me? I couldn't think of who it was in my mind for a long time, but at this point, my colleagues had already left work, and in addition to the security guards at the door, there were only two people left in the funeral home, Zhang Mazi and Zhang Mazi, who was guarding the morgue.
Because there was no electricity, the motor of the freezer also stopped working, and without the humming roar, the whole morgue was eerily quiet, except for the beating sound of my heart.
Seeing the morgue in the moonlight, I kept forcing myself to calm down.
I hesitated for a moment before making a decision, and before I could turn (shēn), there was a sound of "click, click, click".
The sound was crisp, as if someone was jumping towards you after you, and it instantly made all my hairs stand on end.
Damn, what kind of situation is this? Wave after wave of unsettled? Is it bad to encounter something dirty in the passing years? Is it really like what those old people said, dealing with dead corpses every day, there is always a time to get entangled?
My mind was already in turmoil (tào) at this point, and all kinds of messy thoughts were drilling into my head. The whole person has no master, and he doesn't know what to do.
In the darkness, the "click" sound became clearer and clearer, and I could feel the thing getting closer and closer to me until it stood motionless behind me.
"Huh..... Heh....." A burst of laughter like a silver bell suddenly sounded in the silent environment, but at this moment, it seemed so weird.
For me, the sound was like thunder in the flats, instantly shattering me, who was already six gods and no master.
I was paralyzed on the ground, and I could only do it like a madman, with my eyes closed, constantly waving my hands, and screaming in my mouth: "Don't come, don't come." ”
After yelling for a long time, I found that the other party did not make any further movements, except for my own voice, and there was not even any extra breathing in the entire morgue?
The faint moonlight shone on the morgue, and under the reflection of the freezer, the entire morgue was a pale cyan. I fixed my mind and found that in front of my eyes, a tall man was standing, looking down at me faintly!
I looked at it carefully for a while, and suddenly realized that the person in front of me was not Zhang Mazi? This old guy, no wonder I didn't answer me after shouting so many times just now, and dare (qíng) wait here to scare me.
"Lao Zhang, are you old and confused? Don't you know that people are scared to death?" After seeing people clearly, I didn't care about them, and got up from the ground with a grunt, and my mouth began to pour out my dissatisfaction like cannon fire.
I thought Zhang Mazi would top ..... I said a few words, no matter how bad it was, he would knock me on a chestnut, and then scolded and said that I am a turtle grandson, who would have thought that he would be like turning (xìng) today, and he was yelled at by me for so long, and he didn't reply to me a word.
"Lao Zhang, are you stupid?" I saw him standing in front of me like a log, no matter how I scolded, I didn't reply to my scolding, and I just wanted to raise my hand and shake him, but who knew that he was like angry, turned his head (shēn) without looking back, and strode outside.
I subconsciously wanted to chase it, but the "heh... Heh", when I turned my head to look, there was no one there.
"Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang?" When he turned back again, Lao Zhang was gone. Strange, when did Lao Zhang's legs and feet become so neat?
The environment in front of me was too dark to see my fingers. I didn't care what kind of nerves Lao Zhang was having, so I staggered and stretched out my hands, and I was about to turn on the light.
In the dark, I was like a toddler, and when I touched it, I felt that something was wrong.
I think I touched a piece of tofu? No. It's like ròu, yes, it's like the kind of slag in a twister.
Wait, why did I touch this thing?
That's when I realized and looked up, oh my God! What the hell is this!
The blood (ròu) features were blurred, with black blood still flowing from them, and the whites of the eyes stared straight at me, and the badly burned "thing" seemed to be still laughing.
What is she laughing at? Are you laughing at me?
It's a pity that I don't have a chance to know.
"Ah!!!!!h
A heart-rending scream sounded from the silent funeral home, and the security guard outside the hall looked back suspiciously, and then walked into the funeral home with a flashlight.......
.........
"It's ..... Bite to death?" Hao (chūn) Yu looked at Zhou Haiqiang's corpse (chuáng), and frowned tightly.
Zhou Haiqiang's corpse was no longer human, and it was full of tooth marks. And everyone can see that this is not an animal's tooth marks, it's a human!
"The other two deceased were the same. Lin Pu walked over, lifted the white cloth on Zhou Haiqiang's body, and said, "One is also a staff member of the funeral home, and the other is a security guard at the door." are all been.... Well..... gnawed and died, just like this Zhou Haiqiang. And ....."
"And what?" asked Hao (chūn) Yu as he turned his head.
Lin Pu sighed and said slowly, "Yue Xiaonan's body is gone. We found a trail of blood trailing straight around, like, it was like Yue Xiaonan had crawled out by himself. ”
"You mean, she's alive?"
