"Why did they fire you?"
“After I became a makeup artist, they didn’t want me anymore.”
Song Meili looked gloomy.
"It's okay for such a person to not be friends with him."
I didn't expect that this was also my first time to experience how much people hate chemical artists and makeup artists. Their smiles are so fake. If they don't need anything from you, then everything is so realistic. They will never eat a meal with you, won't get close to you, and even walk away and gossip about you when they see you from afar. This is the truest presentation of human nature.
Song Meili wanted to have friends and return to her original circle. She tried hard, but it didn't work in the end.
They are sisters who agreed to keep their hair long. Whoever's hair reaches the waist first will get married. Maybe this was just a joke, but they all really have long hair, including Song Meili.
They are seven sisters, and seven makes them stable. Seven is the most stable number, while six is the most active number, which often causes problems. Six is considered to be smooth, and that is correct. If it develops in a good direction, it is smooth. If it develops in a bad direction, it is inactive. Because of its activity, things develop very quickly. However, seven is a number without neutrality and is extremely unlikely to cause problems.
Among the seven sisters, Song Meili was fired, and their basis was not a good basis either. So basically, things will not develop in a good direction. As the saying goes, God is watching what you do, and retribution will come. In fact, this has something to do with numbers. Some bad people just live well and don't get any retribution. This has something to do with numbers.
Song Meili and I went home. She was cooking and didn't look very good. Maybe she wanted to get back to that circle so much that she wanted to help them. I could understand that.
At dinner, I sat in front of the window.
"Xiao Wen, let's help them, otherwise they will get into trouble."
I thought about it for a long time and said.
"Just once, they don't like you, that circle doesn't belong to you, so don't be with them."
"oh."
These six people worked in a joint venture, a dairy company, which was a very famous company. The six of them worked in one workshop and always went to get off work and came home together every day.
Song Meili and I went there on Saturday; they were working overtime.
Entering the workshop, it was very clean and a suitable place for girls to stay.
The workshop is very large, with assembly line operations, and I couldn't see anything.
At noon, they come out. They have dormitories. Sometimes they work overtime until very late, so they don’t live in the dormitories.
When I entered the dormitory, I was stunned. There were seven beds, and one was empty. It turned out that Song Meili also worked here.
Except for one empty room, the others are occupied. The strangest thing is that there is something hanging on the wall of the dormitory. It is in the shape of a polished stick.
"What is that?"
"I don't know. It was just hanging there when we came, and no one touched it."
I walked closer and took a look, and I knew that it was a stick made from human leg bones, emitting a dark grayish-white light.
This thing is actually in the dormitory.
"What was this place originally?"
"The director said that this was originally a warehouse, and this floor was full of people, and later it was vacated and used as a dormitory."
I don’t know what else is going on here, but I can say for sure that the problem may lie here.
"Can you find your hair after it's been cut?"
They all shook their heads.
This kind of ghost haircut is the strangest.
Generally speaking, ghosts will come to look for something they lack, and there is no way to avoid it. People will not take things they don't need.
This dairy company was built on a piece of vacant land. There was a highway on the west side, across a river, a mountain on the east side, and other companies on both sides. It was a large area with orchards, small gardens and the like.
This place was originally a vacant lot. What was it originally
I need to know, so I talked to the director.
“This used to be a shooting range.”
"Has anything happened?"
"I didn't know about this at first, but later something happened and I asked about it. A woman died. I don't know when she went up the mountain and was shot. She was hit in the head. She had long, beautiful hair. She was sent to the hospital and had surgery. They cut all her hair off. Unfortunately, she didn't survive. Later, her family buried her at the north corner of the shooting range. When the factory was built here, the grave was still there. Later, I don't know what happened, it disappeared. The grave seemed to have been removed. I saw the coffin board, but there was no body inside."
"What happened to you?"
"It's just that the milk bags are always empty. They've been checked, but they still appear. This has been really annoying us. It still appears sometimes, and we can't find the reason. I think... maybe I'm overthinking it."
I knew that what happened to this woman was that she died unjustly, for no reason. It would be difficult for such a person to reincarnate because her resentment was too heavy. Perhaps she would only be reincarnated after she had killed someone.
I asked the six women if they had seen anything, and they all shook their heads, saying they hadn't seen anything at all.
I went back to the dormitory and asked them to open the clothes closet. It was a large closet shared by several people. Their clothes were hung in it, so many pieces that they couldn't count them. It was full in an instant. Women are like this, what they are always missing is a piece of clothing.
I looked at it and saw a white dress. I reached out and took it out and hung it on the wall.
"Whose is this?"
Judging from the style, it is definitely not the clothes we wear nowadays.
They looked at each other, but no one recognized them.
"Whose?"
I'm a little annoyed.
They all shook their heads, and I knew that the dress belonged to the dead woman. No wonder there was a problem. The dress was there, and the woman would appear in the room when they were asleep, walk around, look at their things, eat their things, and then cut their hair because she liked hair and her hair was cut off when she died.
"Are you always missing something to eat?"
"Yes, we just thought about who ate it. We sisters don't distinguish between these things."
If they break up, everything will be fine. If they don't break up, it will give this woman countless chances. Ghosts also need opportunities, just like thieves. They won't act without a chance. If it's difficult to act, they will leave because they feel it is dangerous.
Tonight, you stay here and I will be somewhere, I want to see what kind of person this is.
After I finished speaking, the six women's faces turned pale and they spoke for a long time.
"That won't work. It's too inconvenient for a grown man like you to be with us."
A woman talks about everything.
"Then you guys just play by yourselves!"
I was already very angry, and the way they looked at Song Meili made me unhappy.
"Meili, let's go and stop wasting time here."
Song Meili and I got in the car and the director followed us.
"Brother, it's time for dinner. Please eat."
"No."
"I don't just want to eat, I want to ask you some questions."
I hesitated for a moment, and the director got in the car and found a restaurant opposite the company.
The director said as we went in to drink.
"I don't understand it now. I always encounter some strange things. For example, the day before yesterday, I worked a night shift and finished at midnight. When I returned to the dormitory building, I saw a woman standing on the steps of the second floor, smiling at me. She was wearing white clothes and asked me if my hair was pretty. That was the men's dormitory building. I was very angry. There are more than a thousand female workers here. I can't know them all. I thought it was some improper woman who seduced me. I scolded her and said I would fire her tomorrow. She actually went upstairs. I looked everywhere but couldn't find her. In addition to these, in the past two years, I always saw people wearing white clothes walking in the yard, orchard, and garden in the middle of the night. I thought they were employees, but now think about it..."
The director was sweating.
I heard from the director that it seems to be the woman who was beaten to death. That's right. This female ghost has been here for too long. She has been to almost every place, and the place she stayed the longest was the dormitory. After Song Meili left the company, there was an empty bed, which she happened to fill. All these coincidences made this female ghost stay here for a long time.
"Have you heard about the six working girls?"
"What?"
"It's just that the hair was cut off in clumps. It was a ghost haircut."
The director was stunned.
"No, they didn't tell me."
The director was very nervous.
"I knew something would happen sooner or later. I checked that woman and there was no such person. But she always showed up in the company."
"We can't do this."
I refused. It would be troublesome if I were haunted by this female ghost. Everything here is born out of resentment and is scary.
Song Meili and I left here and went home.
Song Meili stopped talking. She had been working in the crematorium for several years and knew some things, but she couldn't handle them.
The next day, I went to work and sat at platform No. 8 in the refining room. My master Yinyan was originally at platform No. 8. The corpses were burning in the furnace. I was a little dazed watching it. It seemed that all this was normal. For a refiner who has reached the highest level, burning people to death is like burning firewood. That is normal. I felt like I was burning firewood and warming the world.
After work at noon, I take a shower, change clothes, and sit in the office. This is often the quietest and most relaxing time. The quietness of the crematorium always seems to be different from that of other places.
Xiaozhe called and asked me to go to the office.
Xiaozhe was actually drinking alone in the office.
"Director Ke, drinking during working hours."
"I have nothing to do in the afternoon, let's drink together."
I was drinking with Xiaozhe, and he mentioned the matter of Bone Village. I was surprised when he suddenly mentioned Bone Village again.
"I want to bring that refining furnace to the crematorium and place it in the middle of the yard. I think it can suppress evil spirits, and there will be fewer problems in the future."
"I think a red lacquer coffin upstairs will do. There is no need for the refining furnace in Nonggu Village. There are many people who have been burned there."
"I always have a strong feeling that something big is going to happen. I feel like it's going to happen."
I don't have this feeling, but for people who have been in the crematorium for a long time, if that feeling comes out, there will definitely be problems.
"What do you feel is going to happen?"
"It's hard to say. It's hard to say."
Xiaozhe probably had a premonition of something, but he didn't tell me. (To be continued)
