Chapter 6: Encountering Ghosts in the Funeral Home
Oh my!
You, don't come over here, I have a soul-restraining talisman. Once I unleash it, you will be finished!
This is the first time I have come face to face with the shadowy spirit, at such a close distance that our faces are almost touching
This is what is referred to as building courage
Of course, the smelly uncle will still help, after all, I am using my inability to cook and do laundry as leverage to force him to assist me
After the master brought me to the funeral home, he immediately slipped away as soon as we entered, and then he locked the door of the funeral home from the outside
However, after his death, he remained deeply attached to his girlfriend, wishing for us to take him to see her one last time
Just 1 centimeter in front of me, a ghostly face, paler than ice and snow, with drooping corners of the eyes and bright red lips, is staring at me
"Smelly Uncle, what are you doing?"
However, at the very first glance of this girl, I could tell that she is not a good person
I always thought that what my master meant by building courage was to leave me in a graveyard or a cemetery for a night. However, upon further reflection, I realized that there are no such graveyards in Shanghai, and all cemeteries have caretakers on duty.
Hehe, let me tell you, you little rascal. There was a corpse on the second floor today, but it has been cremated now. Unfortunately, the resentment was too strong, leaving behind an unvanquished spirit. If you stay here for a night, it will be considered as a test of your courage. Don't worry, it won't kill you; at most, it will just possess you. Alright, I will come to pick you up early tomorrow.
Thus, the master returned with tears streaming down his face and said with a sense of tragedy: "In this day and age, no one believes in the truth anymore"
You have a commission
In the words of the foul uncle, I have been exceptionally lucky. This visit to https://wwwhetushucom.com was a test of courage that he specifically arranged, and as a result, this lingering spirit's unfulfilled wish has been entrusted to us
Aside from the earlier creaking sound, the entire funeral home fell silent
I repeated his words again
As a Yin-Yang agent, sometimes the commissions indeed come from spirits or malevolent ghosts
There were no signs, no power outages, nor any sounds of light bulbs breaking
At that moment, I heard the sound of a door being pushed open from the second floor
I turned around and shouted, look at this guy's swift actions, in no time at all he had locked the door securely.
You, don't come over here, don't come over, my master is very powerful, very powerful indeed
But suddenly, the incandescent light that had been shining above my head went out!
The delegation seemed very simple, but to my surprise, after I actually took on this task, I realized that things were far from as straightforward as I had imagined
This has become a significant challenge and also serves as a criterion for becoming an excellent Yin-Yang agent
This woman is quite young, yet she has been married three times, with each husband dying unexpectedly, leaving her with a substantial fortune
Although masters do not accept requests from vengeful spirits, this phenomenon is not uncommon in our industry
In the evening, the master took me out, and after taking a detour, we entered a funeral home in Shanghai. I saw him familiar with the way as he informed the gatekeeper and then went inside
I pretended to fumble randomly in my pocket, at that moment my mind was completely in disarray, any sense of calm or composure was thrown out the window
The moment my master caught up with Miss Wang, he spoke to her, saying that her deceased ex-boyfriend wanted to see her for the last time
The staircase has always been quiet, without any sound
I saw the master smile sinisterly and point at me, saying: "My disciple will handle it."
There is a ghost on the second floor that can possess people's bodies
At that moment, the gatekeeper whispered after seeing the master: "Master Jiang, there are unclean things inside again"
The person was taken aback, wiped away the tears, and looked in astonishment at the ghost before them
Just as I was crying and making a scene, I heard someone on the other side say this.
I let out a loud shout and wanted to retreat, but as I leaned back, I realized I was in the corner
The result is startling; one glance is enough to take you by surprise
This is certainly not an accidental incident
Certainly, this is a superficial art of physiognomy. However, when I first saw Miss Wang, it was from behind. She is not very tall, about 1.55 meters, and she was dressed quite provocatively, wearing shorts that were excessively short for the summer. Moreover, her makeup was heavy and flamboyant.
However, at that time, in order to ensure a safe escape, I wholeheartedly agreed to the demands of this malevolent spirit, thus this single commission was placed upon my shoulders
Of course, the ghost cannot offer any rewards, which is why the uncle is unwilling to accept it
I stared intently at the direction of the staircase ahead, where, despite the pervasive darkness, I could still discern some faint images in the dim light
At that moment, my heart tightened suddenly, and indeed, there was something eerie about the book
The entire lobby on the first floor suddenly darkened
However, this silence is even more frightening
You wouldn't believe it, but talking to myself is indeed quite useful at this moment. My heart has calmed down a little, and since there is truly no sound, I gradually settled my emotions
It looked at me, its eyes a pitch black, murky void, devoid of any emotion
Fortunately, there is still moonlight shining outside, and above me, there is an incandescent lamp that provides illumination, allowing me to see some light. Moreover, I can see the streetlights outside the glass, which brings me a measure of comfort.
I was ready to curse loudly at that moment
This ghost seemed to understand nothing at all, and slowly floated closer. I noticed it had only a head, with almost no body. The old man once said that such ghosts are often petty and envious in life, always looking at the good of others, with necks that stretch too long. After death, they transform into vengeful spirits, thus lacking a body, possessing only a head and neck.
After my master looked at this woman, he first coughed twice, then spoke with righteous indignation: "Xiao Sen, this commission is quite complex, you are still too young. Never mind, I will help you out this time."
I howl wildly across the vast expanse of the world!
I suddenly looked up, and at that moment, I saw a face appearing right in front of me
My master is well-known in the circle, naturally acquainted with people from both the underworld and the legitimate world. At that time, he had old acquaintances at the municipal public security bureau and directly accessed her file
I retreated to the corner, leaning against the wall, afraid to speak, even my breathing was very quiet
Stinky uncle, if I can survive, you won't be able to eat for a month
The men passing by all stopped to watch, attracting attention and behaving quite provocatively
At the age of ten, under the circumstances where the uncle was not very willing to help, I found Miss Wang, the head of the family in Hongkou District at that time, who was also the girlfriend of the ghost in the funeral home
I have always believed that once the master took on this commission, success would surely follow immediately
I shouted loudly, this cursed place, there is not a single person, I feel like crying.
Thus, how to represent the spirit after accepting its commission, to negotiate with the living, and to convince them that they can see their deceased friends and relatives without any danger
Jiang Tianxin spoke as she truly walked away
Are you a Yin-Yang agent
Creak ... ...
The content of the delegation is as follows
Miss Wang looked at my master with disdain and said, "An old man trying to pursue me by scaring me with such a terrifying story, what a lunatic!"
I feel a cold sensation on my skin, even causing a slight tingling in my nerves
As soon as they left, I turned my head and looked at the vast, pitch-black funeral home behind me, contemplating the words of the uncle
This despicable uncle is utterly unprincipled! The moment he saw Miss Wang, he immediately jumped out to offer his assistance, and I couldn't help but scorn him in my heart.
Certainly, we will not give up so easily
Because what is stored in the cemetery is ashes, while the funeral home will place the body
I initially thought this guy was just messing with me, but then I saw him dash out the door, even dragging a few security guards who were scared by the ghost along to go drink!
As the old saying goes, those who have ears behind their heads are cunning
The deceased was a young man with a stable job at hetushu.com, but he enjoyed mingling and watching others' misfortunes. Nevertheless, he was an optimistic person and had a lovely girlfriend. The cause of death was determined to be food poisoning, classified as an accidental incident
I did not expect that this ghost could actually speak human words. Although it spoke very slowly, I still understood it. Of course, the voice sounded as if it were floating.
I am preparing to hide in the corner and doze off for the night, hoping to fall asleep early
Yes, yes, don't tell me that you hate the Yin-Yang agents the most. I am just a beginner, Brother Ghost, I really am just starting out. Look at my small arms and legs, not suitable for possession, not easy to possess!
I saw her cheeks from behind, and she walked with a sway.
Tonight we will follow her once to see what kind of person she really is
In order to make someone believe our words, we must first understand what kind of person she is
I have decided to sleep at this doorway for a night, lacking ambition.
Thus, I am quite perplexed by what the master means by cultivating courage
I want to relieve my stress by constantly murmuring something
In modern society, funeral homes are more sinister than cemeteries, and this is an undeniable fact
This discovery caused the master to furrow his brow slightly
I slightly lowered my head and noticed that my shoelaces were untied. As I bent down to tie them, I suddenly felt a chill run down my back, as if someone had passed by me from behind.
I have taken care of a ball
I have a matter that I would like to entrust to you
Those shadows, those staircases, those doors, those windows, each one seems to transform into a gigantic ghostly figure, as if at any moment, monsters could emerge from those places
