Chapter 1: School Registration

The old man seemed unable to wait even a moment, grabbing me and walking outside

My name is Zhang Heng, and I am 18 years old. My hometown is a small mountain village called Zhangjia Village, where my grandfather's generation lived in the mountains. Every summer and winter vacation, I return to my hometown to visit my grandfather

Where are you a student? Why do you walk without looking where you are going?

Yes... could you please be a little gentler

However, Old Song felt nothing about these things and directly ascended the luxurious staircase of the villa, walking to the side of an open door on the upper floor

Fourth, do not make eye contact with the corpse, meaning do not look directly into the eyes of the corpse. If you find that the corpse's eyes are not closed, you must ensure that the eyes are closed. If necessary, you can use hot water to apply to the eyes. If that still does not work, use transparent tape to seal the eyes of the corpse

The middle-aged man beside us, who looked as if he were on the verge of tears, stood up and pulled the woman named Xiaoqin aside. He looked at us and said: "This is Shihan's stepmother... Shihan is... my daughter, in her room on the second floor... I know who you are, Professor Song, please!"

Did they not say the deceased was 20 years old? How does her mother look so young?

Very good! Drive from the cockpit

I drove that car out of the College of Humanities

This basement is likely a parking lot, although it is not very large. Old Song led us to a vehicle that appeared to be a modified Volvo small truck.

The villa area in the north of the city ! Building A No. 111 ! Hurry up ! We need to arrive within half an hour !

At this moment, Liu Yuwei also interjected, "Hello, I am also a freshman in funeral studies, my name is ... ... "

Although I have always respected the elderly and cared for the young, isn't this old person being a bit too unreasonable? Clearly, it was you who hit me, alright?

Although my family is in Wochan Valley, I basically grew up in a small city outside the valley. I only return to the valley to stay for a period during the winter and summer vacations. I was raised with a normal education and am not unfamiliar with the outside world

However, although my mind thought this way, I still said, "I am sorry, old man, my name is Zhang Heng, and I am a freshman in funeral studies"

He is an old man over 60 years of age. Although his face is full of wrinkles and his hair is gray, this old man's body is remarkably strong: he actually knocked into me with great force!

I just received news that a 20-year-old girl has committed suicide there, and we must hurry to the location to retrieve the body

Professor Song looked at Liu Yuwei, furrowing his brow and nodding: "Once you enter, do exactly as I instruct you. Remember, no vomiting or disrespecting the corpse. There are five taboos in the place where a person has died; be sure not to violate them!"

The hands and feet are still quite nimble! Remember, the handling of corpses in funerary services is a profession that emphasizes speed; one must be quick and efficient! Do you understand?

This is my first time in this city, and since I am not familiar with the route, I have to rely on my phone for navigation. As a result, I looked at the distance: a full 50 kilometers!

This is probably a small suite in a large villa. Upon entering, there is a very spacious bedroom, along with a very modern staircase leading to an upper balcony. The balcony is filled with various flowers and plants, while the amenities in the bedroom are unimaginably luxurious

However, the level of luxury of this villa still exceeded my expectations: it is exactly the kind of scene depicted in "Tiny Times"!

I exchanged a glance with Liu Yuwei, and it was I who spoke first: "I apologize, esteemed elder! We are here to report..."

After completing the complicated enrollment procedures, when we arrived at the entrance of the College of Humanities and were just about to step inside, suddenly a person rushed out from within and collided with me!

Suddenly, the woman who had been crying uncontrollably stood up: "Who said my daughter is gone? Who said my daughter is gone? She clearly hasn't left! She hasn't left! She just fell asleep!"

It is! I answered together with Liu Yuwei.

Great! Put your luggage in the security room! Hurry up and come out with me now!

Come with me

Without further ado, he immediately jumped into the passenger seat.

Liu Yuwei is exceptionally beautiful, even among the many girls in the humanities college, she stands out for her appearance, deserving the title of campus belle. However, I cannot understand why such a beautiful girl would choose to major in funeral studies

"Where are the people who left?" Lao Song asked directly without any preamble.

From elementary school to high school, my life trajectory was quite ordinary, but after the college entrance examination, I chose to pursue an extraordinary major

The woman looks fine while sitting, but when she stands up, she appears quite tall and very beautiful, seemingly under thirty years old

Yuwei, you go back and get a body bag and a stretcher from the back first. Xiaozhang, you come with me up!

Secondly, do not use peripheral vision to look at areas outside of your direct line of sight, as it distracts attention

Professor Song said to himself: "That girl is a rich second generation, her family is extremely wealthy. The girl's parents insist that their daughter must be brought to the funeral home in a lifelike manner, because the rope she used to commit suicide was too thin, and she also attempted other methods to ensure her death. Therefore, the funeral home over there is reluctant to accept her, and we can only be called to handle it. You better hurry up and get there as fast as you can, or this matter will be difficult to manage"

Looking at the old man ... . ... It should be Director Song, and only then did I understand what was going on. Liu Yuwei was still preparing to ask something when I had already grabbed her luggage and rushed towards the security office.

A middle-aged man, appearing to be quite portly, sat at the door with a sorrowful expression, while a woman, who seemed to be his wife, sat beside him, having already cried to the point of exhaustion.

Upon arriving at the location, Lao Song and I jumped out of the car, and Liu Yuwei also got down. The three of us then proceeded to the entrance.

"Who among you has a driver's license?" the old man asked me as he looked on.

Several police officers appeared somewhat bored, and no one was comforting the couple. On the other side, there were a few bodyguard-like individuals attentively observing their surroundings

"Uh... Professor Song, where are we going?" I quickly rephrased my question.

Professor Song was completely indifferent to these formalities, nodded slightly, and took out disposable gloves, a head cover, and a mask from his small bag, handing them to me and Liu Yuwei

I... I have no problem either," Liu Yuwei replied, appearing somewhat hesitant.

The old man's large hand directly grasped my shoulder, and the force that came from it made me feel as if a hydraulic clamp was pinching my shoulder.

This vehicle has been modified and its performance is absolutely fine, just run with the emergency lights on. Anyone can tell what this vehicle is for, and there are very obvious markings on the body. No one will stop this vehicle, it looks just like the one in the * book * do you understand

I have it, I replied

The last statement sounds somewhat strange, but Lao Song did not provide much explanation as he mentioned the need to seize time

On the balcony above, a solitary figure hung in mid-air, with the sunlight shining on the other side of the body, creating a rather eerie scene

It seemed as if it was not our first day working together; Old Song skillfully instructed us to attend to our respective tasks, and then walked into the villa with me

I go ... ? ... Is this our teacher and department head ?

"You too? That's great!" The old man who heard Liu Yuwei's self-introduction immediately said excitedly, "You also put your luggage at the security office! Let's go out together!"

You two are both doing this for the first time. Now tell me: are you afraid of corpses?" Lao Song asked while equipping himself.

With a hard shift and a stomp on the accelerator, the speed unexpectedly soared to 120 kilometers per hour

"Call me Professor!" Old Song struck a pose of pretentiousness, lighting a cigarette of an unknown brand, the smell so strong it could suffocate a person. Liu Yuwei, who was originally sitting next to Professor Song in the back row, hurriedly moved to my side to escape the smoke.

Teacher Song

Seventeen minutes later, amidst the countless reminders of "You are speeding" from the navigation, we finally arrived at our intended destination

One minute later, we placed the luggage at the security desk by the door and returned to Song Yusheng's side

What? Are you Zhang Heng?

However, I did not go there to play, but rather to undergo some very peculiar training devised by my grandfather, as well as to acquire some strange and esoteric knowledge that I only partially understand

However, I did not expect that there were only two people in this major; apart from myself, there was only one girl named Liu Yuwei.

I am the director of your department, mhetushucom.com, a teacher, and the vice dean of the School of Humanities: Song Yusheng! Now, you two don't need to waste any more words, come with me! Today, you will start your first class! Now, immediately take your luggage to the security office, do you understand?

Liu Yuwei was somewhat speechless, but she immediately climbed into the back seat.

But no matter what, I could never drive a truck at the speed of F1, could I? I said, speechless

The northern district is estimated to be a wealthy area, characterized by row upon row of townhouses, with an exceptionally elegant environment

This discipline is called "Funeral Studies" and is a field under the College of Humanities

If it takes half an hour to cover 50 kilometers, I would need to drive this truck at a speed of over 100 kilometers per hour to make it possible.

Alright, alright... I understand your intentions, Xiao Qin

Thirdly, do not touch the taboo areas of the corpse. As for what those taboo areas are: if you are a woman, any place that you would not easily allow a man to touch is considered a taboo area

I have no problem, I said as I got dressed

Speechless

When I announced my name, the old man excitedly grabbed my shoulder and said, "You are the new student in Funeral Studies this year?"

Professor Song, it is absolutely impossible for this car to reach this place from the city center in just half an hour! I said helplessly

I have been practicing family martial arts since childhood, and I am strong and robust, making it difficult for most people to match me. However, this old man was surprisingly able to strike me with such force that it caused me pain and even made me take a step back, which is truly astonishing.

When I arrived at the entrance of Area A, No. 111, several police cars were already parked at the entrance

Following Old Man Song, we made our way to the basement of the School of Humanities

Fifth, and most importantly: Do not do the same things as the dead

First, do not point at the corpse
