Liu Xiaojing's appearance really scared me. Zheng Qing told me that Liu Xiaojing's appearance was normal. He had seen it once before, and this was the second time. It only took a few minutes, but Liu Xiaojing actually spoke, which scared him. Liu Xiaojing told Zheng Qing that she was not an appearance, but came from the corpse ship to do something. Zheng Qing didn't know what was going on with the corpse ship, and this was the first time he saw it.
"No matter what, Liu Xiaojing has returned to the corpse ship, which makes me feel relieved. Maybe Liu Xiaojing will never come back from now on, even if it is just a dream."
It's a little scary. I feel like it's not over yet, it's not that simple.
I returned to the office and found that the dead Huaer was dead. I was stunned. Liu Xiaojing was gone, so Huaer was dead. Could it be that what Zheng Qing said was true? If so, it would be a good thing. I don't want to see Liu Xiaojing again. It really makes me feel scared.
I hoped that this matter would just pass like this, but I didn't expect that something would happen to Bai Jie. When Bai Jie was learning makeup from Master Yi Qiuju, a big thing happened. Master Yi called me to the corner of the crematorium office and said to me.
"Something happened to Bai Jie. She didn't do what I asked. I went to the bathroom, and when I came back, Bai Jie was gone. It was my fault for being careless. But there is a way to get Bai Jie back, but..."
I was stunned. Something happened to Bai Jie? She is gone? What does that mean
"What's the meaning?"
"Bai Jie disappeared in the dressing room."
"It's possible that he went to some other place."
"You should understand what I mean. She disappeared in the dressing room. She didn't go anywhere."
"What does this mean?"
Yi Qiuju took me to the dressing room. The work was over. Bai Jie's work clothes were placed on the chair, and other things were also on the table.
"Why is she gone?"
"There are many taboos for makeup artists. I have made this very clear to Bai Jie, and not just once. I watch her every time she works, and remind her when she encounters a taboo. I thought she would remember it after so many times, but she didn't."
"How could it disappear?"
"Makeup artists have a biggest taboo, just like you refiners. There are different taboos that must not be violated. That is, the black thread should be tied on the feet, men on the left and women on the right. Everyone knows this, but Bai Jie tied it the wrong way, and something went wrong."
I remembered that Bai Jie told me that she didn't know left from right. I thought it was funny at the time. It was impossible, but she really didn't know left from right. If she tied it the wrong way, what would happen? It was just a black line, so what
"A black line, what can it do?"
"That's also called a soul-binding line. Everyone has a soul. Before the body is burned, it will be inside the body or around the body. If you don't tie this black line, the soul may entangle you, especially an evil soul. People are divided into good and evil, and the same is true for souls. Souls can seduce people and take them away to another world in exchange for ten years of life in the next world."
I understood and started sweating. Just like a refiner, Master Yun Zheng told me that when putting a corpse into the furnace, the head should be in first, not the other way around. Otherwise, there will be big problems. As a refiner, you may die inexplicably. Master Yun Zheng did not say anything else.
When I think about it this way, it’s a bit scary. What I’m facing now is the disappearance of Bai Jie.
"What should we do then?"
"The soul naturally has its own path and door. I can't find it, but someone else can. That person is your master. I want you to ask him for help. I don't have anything to do with him. I'm really sorry."
I didn't think it would be like this. Master Yunzheng really didn't talk to Master Yi. I don't know what the grudge between the two of them had. In the crematorium, some things were inexplicable.
I went to see Master Yunzheng. He was taking a day off today and drinking at home. He always drinks and seems to have a lot on his mind, but it also seems like he has nothing on his mind.
"Let's drink together."
"Master, I won't drink anymore. Something happened to Bai Jie."
I told him the whole story, and then Master Yunzheng threw the glass of wine onto the table, spilling it, and I looked at him.
"What on earth does this Yi Qiuju want to do?"
I was stunned. What was Master Yi trying to do? This was just an accident. Could there be anything else going on
I don’t know, I really don’t know at all and I’m not sure.
"Master, what should I do?"
"This is not a matter of urgency. Go to the crematorium."
I followed Master Yun to the crematorium, and he took me into the director's office. Master Yunzheng told the director what happened, and the director sighed after a long while.
"Master Yun, thank you for your concern. Maybe it was just an accident. After that incident, Master Yi will never do it again. So, you should not have any personal grudges. Now you just need to find Bai Jie back."
This is the first time I heard Master Yunzheng scolding someone. It seems that he is really angry.
Master Yi pushed the door open and said to Master Yunzheng when he saw him.
"I knew you would come and complain. I am responsible for this matter, but I..."
"Shut up."
Master Yunzheng stood up, and the director came over and held Master Yunzheng down.
"You have to do this. That's your apprentice object."
After Master Yi finished speaking, he left. Master Yunzheng was so angry that he wanted to curse again.
That day, Master Yun Zheng came to my house to drink, and my father accompanied him. I drank a little and then stopped, and just sat aside and watched. I was anxious. Master Yun Zheng didn't even mention Bai Jie's matter. This made me really anxious. Maybe Master Yun Zheng had his own way.
The next day, Master Yunzheng went to the dressing room, which was empty. Master Yi was in another dressing room. The place where the accident happened would be closed for a month or half a month.
Master Yunzheng sat there, smoked a cigarette, and then lay down on the dressing bed.
"Follow my instructions."
I was stunned for a moment, then stood up, my palms full of sweat. What was Master Yun Zheng going to do
"I will be unconscious in a while, so don't be nervous. Lock the door and stay with me. Don't leave until I wake up."
"Master, how about I do it?"
"You, you are looking for death. Okay, there is a black string in the second drawer. Tie it to my left foot, and then tie the other black string to the dressing bed. Cover me with a white sheet. The rest is for you to watch me. When I react, look at the sheet. When there is air blowing, you tear the black string. Remember, this is a matter related to my life."
I was so nervous that my hands were shaking as I tied the black thread. I should have told Master Yi that Bai Jie couldn't tell the left from the right, but she didn't. Master Yi didn't even notice this. It was like she was going to die. Maybe Bai Jie didn't take this seriously. She had been a refiner, so what was she going to be called a makeup artist? In fact, people who had just come here thought that those taboos were just a joke, just a kind of superstition. If something went wrong once, they would never dare to do it again. They were so nervous that it was like they were going to die.
After I covered Master Yun with the sheet, I sat on a chair and watched, watching, and it was not bad at first glance. At first, the sheet moved, but later it was motionless. It was impossible for the person not to breathe. I was sweating. If Master Yun got into trouble again, I was afraid it would be troublesome.
I waited there, but there was no response until midnight. I wanted to call Master Yi, but I held back.
When it was dawn, there was still no response. I became anxious and called Master Yi to tell him about this.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen. Your master is afraid of death and cherishes his life. Don't worry about him. Just keep an eye on him."
After Master Yi said this, I relaxed a little, but I was still nervous.
Until dark the next day, the black line actually started to move, as if something was pulling it. I jumped up, hid aside and watched with my eyes wide open. I felt something was unusual, but the master didn't tell me. Did something unexpected happen
I immediately called Master Yi to ask.
"How do you move?"
Master Yi’s voice made me feel scared, she was nervous.
"It moves in jumps and jumps, and now it's getting faster and faster."
"Wait for me, don't do anything, I'll be there soon."
Master Yi was anxious. She ran in, sweating profusely. I opened the door and she came in and looked at the black line. The black line kept jumping. She stared at it for a while and said.
"This is really troublesome. This soul is really powerful. It is hard to encounter it in a hundred years. No wonder Bai Jie was seduced away."
"what to do?"
I was anxious and asked Master Yi.
"I really don't want to save this bastard."
Master Yi asked me to pull a cot in from the morgue. I brought the cot in, and she placed it next to Master Yun and lay down on it.
"Just do the same as he did."
I was so panicked that I tied the black string and covered the body with a sheet. After finishing, the sheet that Master Yi was moving stopped moving, and the black string stopped jumping, except for an occasional jump. I was still nervous. In the middle of the night, Master Yi suddenly woke up with an "Ah!" sound. The body sheet moved, and I immediately tore off the black string. Master Yi sat up, sweating and pale.
"Help me down."
I helped Master Yi down.
"It's okay. Your master should be back before dawn. Don't tell him what I did."
After Master Yi passed away, I sent the corpse bed back, ran back and stared at Master.
It was almost dawn when Master Yunzheng suddenly sat up and I screamed in fright.
"What's that? You scared me."
I went over and pulled the black thread apart, and Master Yunzheng came down and said.
"Bai Jie will go home at dawn, and everything will be fine in two or three days."
Master Yunzheng walked out, a little shaky, and looked very tired.
I followed him out and when I got home, my father had already gotten up. He looked at me and frowned.
"What have you been busy with all this time?"
"It's okay. There are a lot of things going on in the field."
I didn’t want to tell my father too much, so I had breakfast, sat for a while and then went to Bai Jie’s house.
I went to Bai Jie's house, but she didn't come back. I was a little stunned. Her parents didn't know what happened. They were not too worried that Bai Jie didn't come back because they knew that Bai Jie was dating you. Sometimes Bai Jie would stay at my place.
I waited until after nine o'clock, and heard the door open. Bai Jie came in, her face pale and dazed. She didn't talk to anyone and just lay down on the bed to sleep. I felt relieved. Everything was fine. Everything would be fine when she came back.
I stayed for more than an hour and then went home to sleep.
When I woke up, it was dark. I went to Bai Jie's house and she was eating. Everything seemed normal. I wanted to ask her where Bai Jie had gone.
After dinner, Bai Jie said she was very tired and wanted to sleep, so she fell asleep. I thought I would know sooner or later.
After leaving Bai Jie's house, I sat by the river. After my mother left, I liked sitting by the river. The river water seemed to be able to take away my pain.
When I got home, my father was waiting for me.
"What happened?"
I said it, and my father looked at me for a long time before speaking.
"If you feel that the crematorium is not for you, forget it, don't do it. I feel a little uneasy."
"It's okay. I like it this way. Everything is normal."
My father stopped talking, and I went back to my room to read until midnight. (To be continued)
