Chapter 2: The Hanged Woman

"What are you shouting about, little girl? Have you never seen a corpse before?" Old Song looked as if he wanted to slap Liu Yuwei twice.

Having lost the constraints of the two dumbbells, the corpse began to undergo a certain degree of transformation

I nodded

Although the speed is extremely slow, I can assure you that I did not see it incorrectly

However, the manner of death of this girl who committed suicide was extremely horrifying: her eyes were wide open, with the entire eyeball protruding outward, and the eyeballs appeared red. Her entire face was a dark blue-black, as if she had been poisoned, and on her legs were tied two 3-kilogram dumbbells, presumably for exercising.

However, upon looking at the front, I immediately frowned

Just as I nodded and was about to place the body on her own bed, a thunderous shout suddenly came from behind me

Hanging is one of the most commonly used methods of suicide: the reason is likely that it is the most silent and relatively quick, but the most critical aspect is that there is no opportunity for reversal.

"Teacher Song is right; you are indeed not suited for this major," I said, shaking my head

Oh... okay. Liu Yuwei immediately brought over some transparent tape, and I first tried to gently touch her eyeball with my hand

The girl's corpse sensed the breath of a living person and began to slowly turn, and the target of her rotation was undoubtedly me

Old Song furrowed his brows and said: "Is that so? Then I need you to do something for me right now: take off the clothes of the corpse! This girl is only 20 years old, and she might still be a virgin. It wouldn't be appropriate for us two big men to strip her clothes off, especially with the family waiting outside. You go ahead, Xiao Zhang, you can assist him. I need to prepare some things and also ask the family a few questions. By the way, you all should close the corpse's eyes first. Xiao Zhang, you can handle that yourself!"

When you stretch your neck into your own noose, you step into the gates of hell and the realm of books

After a fierce internal struggle, Liu Yuwei shot me a fierce glare and went to the washroom to fetch a towel and hot water

Old Song did not concern himself with much and directly rushed up the stairs. After assessing the situation, he said to me: "Come here, let's first bring the body down."

The red-clad corpse is a significant taboo associated with death, and the reasons behind it are not particularly complex: red is the color of yang energy. If you are sensitive to such feelings, you will notice that people wearing red clothing on the street generally appear more vibrant than others. This is because red is more capable of absorbing yang energy and vitality than other colors

And it was precisely because of this posture that the upper half of the corpse hung down, with its chest positioned directly above my head

Anger, that is to say, the breath of the living, the essence of the living.

As the body had not yet fully stiffened, after releasing the body, I could only hold onto the corpse's buttocks with one hand, while the other hand was placed on the waist of the body, thus allowing me to barely secure her in my embrace

"Place it on the bed, and be gentle!" Lao Song reminded.

As soon as it was touched, the eyes immediately opened again

I held onto the legs of the corpse, while Lao Song directly cut the rope with a pair of scissors from above

Everything around me was very quiet, and my cooperation with Old Song was also going well, but suddenly such a shout made me feel weak all over, almost causing me to throw the corpse out.

Looking around, I can't help but exclaim: What dissatisfaction could possibly lead one to commit suicide in such a good life?

There are indeed people in the family who are engaged in this field, but... I am not afraid of these things anyway. I thought for a moment and replied rather ambiguously.

The corpse was hanging with its back facing me, and the rope used for the hanging appeared to be made of a very resilient glass fiber material. The corpse was dressed in a pink nightgown, and although it was already dead, one could still discern from the back through the sheer fabric that the corpse belonged to a girl with a very good figure, her long hair cascading down her back.

However, this girl is still far from becoming a zombie: only a few organs show slight signs of decay, which is not serious at all. It will be a long, long time before she truly becomes a zombie

It has been approximately 3 hours since the body was discovered, and it has begun to gradually stiffen. As I held her legs, I felt that the skin had lost its elasticity. Although her legs were very thin, they felt like two stone pillars.

Oh... then you stay with the body while I go find some towels and hot water

"Lunar calendar? It seems to be August 17th, what's wrong?" Liu Yuwei covered her mouth and replied to me in a very flustered manner, "You need to hurry and close the corpse's eyes!"

I have practiced a bit, I said ambiguously

You have no fear of corpses at all, does your family have any connection to this industry? Old Song nodded and looked at me, seemingly interested in asking further.

However, those feet unexpectedly began to move slowly

I nodded and walked up

I took a steady breath and placed the corpse on the bed

Regarding corpses, I have learned a wealth of knowledge since childhood, and such situations are actually not uncommon

Looking at her silhouette, I smiled: what a true young lady

Ah!

After mentioning two key points, I nodded, first took down the two dumbbells, and then embraced the corpse's legs from underneath the body

I have known this knowledge since I was young, but I am unsure whether I should tell Old Song

From the moment I saw this corpse, I knew that this girl would surely turn into a zombie: because she was wearing a pink pajama set

The entire corpse began to slowly rotate counterclockwise along the axis of the diagram. Old Song was still setting up the stool to go up, and I wanted to remind him but did not dare to speak up

When you kick away your stepping stone, as long as no one notices you within a few minutes, you will die silently and without a trace

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuwei lost control and stood up, pulling on Old Song's arm: "No, no, no... I must study this major. Teacher Song, please give me another chance, okay? I truly wasn't prepared this time, it won't happen again next time..."

No problem. I nodded and held onto the corpse's legs.

Moreover, relatively speaking, the bodies of those who have hanged themselves are preserved in the most complete state. The likelihood of the legendary long tongue and protruding eyeballs appearing is actually quite low: the tongue is generally obstructed by the teeth, and the occurrence of protruding eyeballs is also rare, so the body is likely to be relatively intact

Old Song finally set up the bench, took out a pair of scissors from his personal tools, glanced at me and said, "Can you hold it?"

I glanced at Liu Yuwei, and Liu Yuwei glanced back at me, her eyes filled with fear

The girl's feet were approximately half a meter above the ground, and she was wearing a pair of very cute Hello Kitty sandals on both feet, but now the lifeless feet showed no signs of vitality

What is your date of birth, specifically in the lunar calendar

Hehe, good, I am ready!

You ... ... very well! I will go find it!

I quietly raised my eyes and looked up along her feet: her pair of eyes, originally bulging, were very round and entirely blood-red, and now those eyeballs actually began to slowly rotate.

"I said your name is Zhang Heng, isn't it?" Liu Yuwei said with a pout.

What? Didn't I tell you when I came? Do not make eye contact with the corpse! Have you forgotten about the *illustration*? I think you should reconsider your major! You are not cut out for this! Go back and choose another major! I will not accept students like you!

Originally, when Liu Yuwei saw the dead person close their eyes, it seemed like they let out a sigh, but suddenly they opened their eyes again, startling her so much that one hand grabbed me while the other covered her mouth

I quietly asked Liu Yuwei

Facing me, Liu Yuwei was full of energy again; this girl's character is truly not that great

First, do not untie the body that is hanging; the correct method is to cut the rope from above. Now you are holding the feet of the body. I will cut the rope, and after I finish, remember not to place it on the ground, but on the bed over there.

The corpse was placed on the bed, its eyes still wide open, but due to the force exerted on the face, the eyeballs were not as protruding yet remained open. I frowned and said to Liu Yuwei, "First, go find some transparent tape to seal the corpse's eyes."

"Hmm, what is it?" I asked curiously

Old Song found a stool and set it up to climb up and cut the rope, and at that moment, I suddenly felt something was amiss

There is no need for transparent tape; go find a towel and dampen it with hot water, making sure the water is as hot as possible, and then bring it over

I am sorry, teacher. As soon as I came up, I saw the eyes of the corpse. I was not mentally prepared for it. I am sorry, I am sorry.

Wearing red clothing, especially bright red, after death, when the yang energy ceases, begins to transform into yin energy. However, the red clothing continues to absorb yang energy, which causes the yin energy of the corpse to be continuously neutralized by the incoming yang energy. Ultimately, this results in a deficiency of yin energy, preventing the soul of the corpse from leaving the body, leading to the transformation of the corpse into a zombie or malevolent spirit as depicted in the "Hua - Tu - Shu".

This girl is going to undergo a corpse transformation

Originally, my feet were parallel to hers, but now I find that her left foot is getting closer to me while her right foot is moving further away

It is often said: "Dead weight is indeed heavy; the deceased are certainly heavy, and the weight in one's hands suddenly becomes significant. However, for me, it is not yet something of great concern.

Do not hide it from me; when we collided, your body's reaction was certainly beyond what an ordinary person could achieve. Alright, I won't say much more. Since you are willing to study funeral science, you should be familiar with corpses. Now, let us first remove the body.

Liu Yuwei's tears had already brimmed over, and she began to cry softly

"What are you shouting about?" Old Song said in a low but extremely angry tone, "Shut your mouth!"

This girl probably did not intend to become a zombie; she simply happened to be wearing a pink pajamas set at that time

Upon turning back, I saw Liu Yuwei, who was holding a body bag and a stretcher, covering her mouth and pointing at me

"Zhang Heng, since it is our first day, what makes you think you can order me around?" Liu Yuwei asked, pouting.

This has caused us significant trouble

What on earth is this girl thinking? Taking poison and worsening her condition, as if she is afraid she won't die!" Old Song said with a frown, then looked at me: "Xiao Zhang, you must be a trained fighter, right?

Having said that, Old Song walked out

Why? What do you know? Aren't you just like me, experiencing your first day today?

At this moment, Liu Yuwei was once again taken aback

Lunar calendar August 17, a purely Yin day, no wonder!

In our family's corpse-controlling technique, this is referred to as: the movement of anger

Liu Yuwei's chest rose and fell violently, and the body bag and stretcher in her hands fell directly to the floor

That's right
