I didn't expect that Li Xiaohuan counted the wrong number of stitches when he was suturing. A corpse like this must be sewn with thirteen stitches, no more, no less. This is a ghost number. The corpse would have turned into a ghost long ago, but Li Xiaohuan sewed fourteen stitches, one too many.
We went into the dressing room and Xiaozhe was sitting there smoking.
"Are you okay?"
"I don't know now, let's see what happens."
Xiaozhe stared at the corpse. After a while, a finger of the dead man's left hand moved, bit by bit, as if he was coming back to life.
Gao Hua took out the black thread from the makeup box and tied it on all five fingers. When his fingers stopped twitching, he removed the thread that Li Xiaohuan had used, picked up the needle and started to sew. After three stitches, he put on the clothes and then untied the black thread on his fingers.
"Director Ke, this is a temporary solution. Hurry up and put the makeup into the furnace within 20 minutes, otherwise there will be problems."
Xiaozhe was quick in putting on makeup. Fifteen minutes later, the deceased entered the furnace and was sprayed with oil. The deceased actually screamed. The refiner screamed in fright and his face turned pale. Then he calmed down and Xiaozhe let out a long sigh.
I went back to my office. What I was most worried about was that Xiaozhe's eyes were not right when he looked at Li Xiaohuan. Li Xiaohuan never wore makeup, but she had been wearing makeup every day these days. The makeup was so beautiful. Li Xiaohuan was also pretty, and with this makeup, the boys in the crematorium chased after Li Xiaohuan every day, but she turned a blind eye.
Song Meili came in and actually talked about getting married.
"Wait a little longer."
“Annoying.”
Song Meili left. I lit a cigarette and looked out the window. I was back in the world. I had no idea how many years it had been. Maybe it was another lifetime.
When it comes to marriage, what I worry about most is that I won’t live for more than a few years and will ruin Song Meili.
When He Feng went to work again, Xiaozhe scolded her and transferred her to the columbarium. Such a person is not suitable to be a makeup artist and cannot bear the responsibility. Song Meili can now operate independently, which is also good.
I left a little late that day. Song Meili left first. It seemed that she was angry.
When I got on the bus, I glanced at the window of my office. It was at that glance that I saw someone standing there at the window looking at me. It was on the second floor, and I liked to stand there at the window and look.
I called Xiaozhe.
"Did you leave?"
"No."
"I took a look at my office from the surveillance camera."
"No one."
The man was still standing there.
"Okay, come downstairs, my car is parked downstairs, get in my car."
Xiaozhe came down and got into my car.
"Look towards my office, don't do it intentionally, and don't let that person see you."
Xiaozhe took a look and said.
"There is one person whose face I can't see clearly."
"You just checked the surveillance, there was no one."
"right."
I drove out of the crematorium and after driving for a while, I stopped the car.
"Let's go back."
We entered the building from the other side of the crematorium. When we reached the door, I stood there listening but didn't hear any sound.
I took out my card and swiped it, the door opened, I stood at the door and saw a man sitting on a chair, smiling at me. I didn't know this man and I couldn't see him on the surveillance camera. What does this mean
I went in and looked at this man.
"Who are you… "
"Oh, sorry, I didn't say hello to you. I'm the owner here."
Damn it, you are the master here, then who am I
Xiaozhe stood aside without saying anything.
"It's like this. When this crematorium was built, I lived here. I've lived here for decades. You demolished my house and didn't build a new one for me. I think you should build me a house."
I know what's going on.
"When we were building the building, we didn't realize you were living here?"
"I lived here. When they were digging the foundation, two workers tore down my house and threw my bones away. But someone helped me pick them up and piled them up and buried them on the hill behind the crematorium."
I don’t know whether there was a grave here at the beginning, but Xiaozhe knows.
"Let me verify this. If it is true, we will build a house for you."
"Up here, on the roof."
Xiaozhe was stunned.
"That won't do."
"You guys think about it. I won't change my mind. The feng shui here is really good."
The man walked out of the door, and I wanted to see where he went, but I only saw an empty corridor and then a gust of cold wind.
I sat down, Xiaozhe said.
"I really don't know about this matter. Let's check if there was such a thing back then."
The director searched for a week and really found the two workers from that year and the man who picked up the bones.
They sat in Xiaozhe's office and talked about what happened that year.
When they were digging the foundation, they found a coffin. The wood had rotted away, so they cleaned up the bones and threw them away.
When the bone collector saw the bones being dug out, he felt so pitiful, so he found a bag to put them in and buried them on the mountain. He didn't expect that after this incident, he would have dreams for more than ten days in a row. In the dream, a person kept saying, "Thank me, thank me, and then I won the lottery, five million."
The two men who dug other people's graves did not have a smooth life. They were always sick and spent a lot of money. It seems that this ghost has some power.
The matter was clear, the place where the bones were buried was found, and the corpse was dug out, so a house was built on the roof, which was actually a coffin.
Xiaozhe asked me if it was okay. I had never experienced anything like this before.
"I think you should ask Liu Shougui."
Xiaozhe called Liu Shougui and he said there was no problem, but the location had to be right, and he also had to tell the person well to guard the place and watch over the yard, otherwise if he didn't agree, at most his soul would be shattered.
It is not that easy to find a scattered soul. You need to see what this person’s background and origin are.
The next day I went to work and was sitting in the office when the man suddenly appeared and scared me.
"How about it?"
He asked directly.
"Let's talk."
"Can."
"Where are you from?"
I don't think this man is from the north.
"I am from Shanghai. I came to the north for business. I didn't expect to be robbed and killed. I don't know if the person who killed me felt guilty or something, but two days later, he came back and made a coffin for me and buried me. It turns out that I am very rich..."
I don't want to hear too much.
"We can send you back to Shanghai."
"No, I've lived here for decades and I'm used to it."
"We can promise you, but you have to guard the place."
"sure."
I told Xiaozhe about this, and Liu Shougui pointed out the location. We built a five-meter-long and two-meter-high coffin on the top floor of the crematorium.
In October, the coffin room was built and painted red. It was so eye-catching that it could be seen from far away. The bones were put in and the door was sealed. Everything was over. At first, I was not used to it, but after looking at it for a long time, it seemed nothing.
On October 1st, there will be welfare distribution in the venue and we will take a break in the afternoon.
When I get home, Liu Shougui sends me a text message.
"Come to the columbarium."
The crematorium in Chixian was demolished, but the columbarium was not. I don’t know why he suddenly asked me to go to the columbarium.
I went there anyway. This is a familiar place to me. In my previous life, I always drank here with Liu Shougui.
Liu Shougui cleaned up the place he hadn't lived in for a long time, and when he entered, he set out wine and food.
"Does it look familiar?"
"Ugly ghost, are you missing this place? An ugly ghost who can't enjoy happiness."
I seem to be back to that year again.
"You said that you felt so miserable when you returned to the world. You didn't dare to shout when you looked at my son, and you couldn't shout when you looked at my grandson. You really wanted to suffer."
"It's uncomfortable and painful, but I'm happy that I can see them."
"Okay, I won't waste my time talking to you. I'm in some trouble. Take a look at these two things."
Liu Shougui took out two things and placed them there. I didn't move. They were face boards, one yin and one yang. I have seen this thing before. It was in He Dana's box. He also said that this was a face board used by ghost masters to suppress ghosts. In addition to suppressing ghosts, it also had another evil function. There were countless faces on this board. Whoever's face was put on it would of course be a dead person. The ghost of that person would be used to do things for the ghost master.
I saw He Dana's face on it.
"Face board, yin and yang."
"What do you think will happen if we close it?"
"I don't know, whose?"
"It belongs to Ghost Master Liu."
Ghost Master Liu He Dana had contact with him, and I also met him once. I don't think this person is very good. He is the kind of person who makes me feel uncomfortable.
"I don't understand Ghost Master Liu, what's going on?"
Liu Shougui told the whole story in detail.
"So that's how it is. Then you have to find Ghost Master Liu."
"I can't find it. It seems to have disappeared."
"So what do you want to do?"
"I wanted to put Yin and Yang together and see what the consequences would be, so I came here."
"Well, then I have to go."
"Ke Zuo, if you dare to leave, I will tell Xiaozhe about your return to the world."
I sat down again. This ugly guy dares to say and do what he wants.
"How many urns are there in this tower?"
"More than twenty, I'm afraid I'll be here forever."
The urn in this columbarium has been there all this time, and no one has come to claim it. I'm afraid it has no descendants.
When Liu Shougui was about to put on his yin-yang face, his cell phone rang. He answered the call and his face turned pale.
"Something happened. Let's go to the Municipal Theater."
I drove to the Municipal Theater, which was the original address of the old crematorium. A theater was built there with a steel frame structure. It was very large and beautiful. From a distance, it looked like a large ship sailing in the sea.
When we went over, Xiaozhe was there and called us to his office. There were quite a few people in the office, and they all seemed to be leaders.
"This is the dean. Ask him to explain the matter."
The dean, a man in his forties, told the story.
Today, students from No. 2 Middle School came to watch a movie. When the movie ended, the teacher said that three students were missing, one girl and three boys.
No. 2 High School is a key high school in the city.
"Did you leave halfway through?"
"No, it has been confirmed. They disappeared in the cinema. We also checked the surveillance outside. The three students did not come out at that time, and they were gone after they went back in. We have searched everywhere in the cinema, but there are no three students."
"How long has it been going on?"
"More than three hours."
When I came back to this world, I came here to see it. I didn't expect it to have been built into a theater. I knew that something would happen sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to really happen.
Xiaozhe looked at Liu Shougui.
"So, clear out the movie, close all the doors, and I'll be here after dark."
"But… "
“This used to be the location of the crematorium.”
I know that the old corpse is buried here. This is the exact location of the old corpse. Back then, there was an old corpse that refused to leave, so it was buried here. It is a very deep location, and this is exactly the location in the middle. I am afraid there will be trouble.
The person was cleared out, but the family members did not agree and wanted to go in and look for him.
"Okay, let's go look for it. We must get out before dark."
We are at Xiaozhe's house, eating and waiting for dark.
I looked at my grandson with mixed feelings, and I couldn't really describe how I felt.
I didn't expect that Yunbai would come, but she didn't come in. She said a few words to Xiaozhe, looked at the child a few times, and then left.
Xiaozhe came in, saw that my face looked strange, and asked.
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay. It's okay."
When I saw Yun Bai, my heart began to churn.
"The rich boss is dead."
I was stunned for a moment. Yun Bai came to tell me this.
"I'll be going over there tonight, not to the theater. Just call me if you have anything."
Xiaozhe went to Yunbai, and it seemed that Yunbai asked him to help. I felt uncomfortable, but it was Xiaozhe's business and there was nothing I could do.
After dark, we went to the theater, but the family members still hadn't come out.
"Why haven't you come out yet?"
Liu Shougui was a little angry.
"The family members said it was in the movie."
"Let them come out immediately."
The director brought people in, but the family members disagreed and called more relatives and friends to look for him.
"I can't persuade them. After all, the person was lost here. They insisted that the person was in here."
Liu Shougui and I went to the dean's office.
"How do we deal with this?"
The dean asked us.
"It's your business. If they don't come out, there's nothing we can do if we go in."
"Tell me about your solution?"
"What? What is there to say? This used to be a crematorium. You should know what happened."
The dean frowned.
After waiting for more than an hour, the family members still did not come out.
"Well, you go in and ask the family members to come out and see if there are any missing people."
"Will there be fewer people?"
"It's possible."
The dean led his men in. After he said this, everyone came out. When they counted the people, it was a mess. They didn't know if they were short of people or not. But when they heard this, they didn't go in again.
Our Liu Shougui went in and found the theater very beautiful.
The doors were locked and Liu Shougui and I sat in the last row.
"We'll just sit here and watch and see strange things happen, and it's pretty interesting."
"Ugly ghost, it's not a good idea to play like this. If we don't play well, we'll easily get into trouble."
"No way."
We were sitting there, and after a while shadows appeared and moved on the stage. Then the lights on the stage came on, and three students appeared, dancing there, non-stop.
"How about it?"
"Get these three students out."
"No, when we get closer, they disappear. What's there now is not the real them."
I don't know what this means, I have never encountered such a strange thing. (To be continued)
