My name is Zhang Erpi, I am a rural boy.

Before graduating from high school, due to the pressure of life, I found a job as a corpse picker.

What I want to do is to bring the deceased the final dignity so that every deceased can leave this world with dignity.

The cremation room is spacious and quiet, with nine cremation furnaces neatly arranged in a row.

In the afternoon, it seemed a bit dead and cold.

Seeing the body cart coming in, I hurriedly went over to take the cart and the cremation order.

Because my master, Lao Qiao, didn't come, I, a novice, was a little panicked.

Manager Zhuang, who was in his mid-twenties, said to me: "Erpi, Master Qiao and Master Qi are not here, and the other masters are off work. You push the deceased to the No. 9 furnace for cremation."

My heart skipped a beat!

Master Qiao told me not to touch furnace No. 9,

I have been here for more than three months, and I have never seen furnace No. 9 turned on.

Seeing me in a daze, the unsmiling manager Zhuang said in an official tone: "Erpi, work hard, Master Qiao is retiring soon. When you take over Master Qiao's work, you won't be treated like you are now."

"Okay." I responded.

My father died of uremia not long ago. In order to treat his illness, I went bankrupt and owed more than 100,000 yuan in foreign debt.

To me, there is really nothing scarier than being out of debt!

Manager Zhuang saw me obediently pushing the cart to No. 9 furnace, nodded to me and left.

When the deceased is cremated, he usually wears a shroud and is covered with a quilt.

If the condition is good, it will also be placed in a disposable cardboard coffin.

But this corpse was covered with a white hospital sheet.

It can be seen that it is a slim female corpse.

The lower abdomen is slightly bulging, as if she is three or four months pregnant.

There is a strange fragrance exuding from the body.

It smells itchy.

This kind of person should be the kind who have no relatives or friends, and no one will care about him after his death.

Open the furnace door and carefully move the female body to the conveyor belt.

Take two steps back and pay homage to the deceased.

Gather your emotions and think about the debt of more than 100,000 yuan.

My face immediately showed an extremely painful and solemn expression,

With his hands close to both sides of his thighs, he solemnly bowed three times to the body.

After the salute, I was about to press the send button,

Suddenly I saw something moving under the clothes on her breasts,

Make a small bag as big as a peanut,

There are rules in our business. You can't bring anything alive into the furnace.

Even a woodlouse won't do it, it's a big no-no.

In all the time I have been with Master Qiao, I have never encountered anything like this.

If you call him for such a trivial matter, it will be looked down upon by him!

Thinking that I will take over his class soon, I might as well handle it myself if anything happens.

He bravely reached out his hand under the white cloth,

I didn't take off the whole white cloth because I didn't want to see her face.

His palms pressed against her cold skin,

I want to take out that squirming thing quickly,

The strange thing is that I didn't touch the squirming thing!

It was like evaporating out of thin air, disappearing under my eyelids!

I was stunned for a moment and quickly took my hand back. This is so weird?!

After calming down and checking carefully, I was sure there was nothing.

But I felt that the tip of the index finger of the hand that was stretched out was numb all the time.

When I took a look, there was a red mark like a blood mole on my fingertip.

I don't know where I got bruises, and I didn't care.

Bowed three times again and said solemnly: "Have a good journey."

Pressing the transport button, the female corpse was slowly sent into the furnace by the conveyor belt.

Close the oven door and press the ignition button.

With a bang, raging fire instantly surrounded the female corpse!

Diesel pure oxygen and high pressure can burn all clothes, hair and the like in thirty seconds.

But this time it was different. It was supposed to be the red seedlings of a raging fire.

But it turned into a faint blue flame emitted by alcohol, with no temperature at all.

what's the situation?

I was immediately confused!

The cremator and blower are running normally, and the diesel fire is also normal.

It is a red flame with high temperature and high pressure that turns into a blue flame with no temperature at all.

I waited for more than three minutes, hoping that the flame would return to normal.

But never.

In desperation, I had no choice but to turn off the cremator and exit the body.

Not only was the corpse not warm,

It still smells like it has just been taken out of the freezer.

This is so abnormal!

I immediately called Master Qiao and explained the matter again.

Master Qiao yelled on the phone: "You want to die, who asked you to order stove No. 9? Didn't I tell you that I wouldn't let you order stove No. 9?!"

When Master Qiao yelled at me, I became even more scared.

He said in a panic: "The new manager Zhuang asked me to order it."

There was a long silence on the other side of the phone, and then a sigh.

I asked angrily: "Master Qiao, how about I ask the manager to change the stove?"

Master Qiao said in a heavy voice: "The furnace has already been turned on, there is no point in changing it!"

I asked in a panic: "What should I do?"

Master Qiao paused for a moment and said: "If the body cannot be burned, it must be because of obsession. You try to recite the rebirth mantra I taught you, and then turn on the furnace again. If it still doesn't work, you can go to the village manager.

"

I put down the phone, recited the incantation three times, and then sent the female body into the furnace again.

The result was still the same, so I had no choice but to find the manager.

After listening to this, Director Zhuang said to me solemnly: "Erpi, don't tell anyone about this matter. If you go out and talk nonsense and affect the reputation of our funeral home, it won't be as simple as dismissal.

We will also hold you legally responsible, do you understand?!"

I nodded quickly and said, "Director Zhuang, don't worry, I won't go out and talk nonsense."

Manager Zhuang first called Master Qiao, but couldn't get through.

Even if I try to get through, I can't get through.

I was secretly surprised. I was able to get through it just now. Master Qiao must have turned off his phone on purpose.

Manager Zhuang called Master Qi again,

More than ten minutes later, Master Qi, who was in his forties, arrived.

Although No. 9 furnace is under the control of Master Qiao, Master Qi is the leader of the incineration team, so of course you have to go to him if you have any problems.

As soon as Manager Zhuang saw the master arriving,

He said to me: "Erpi, you should go back and rest first. Let Master Qi handle this."
