Volume 1 Chapter 068 Human-faced Snake
After pushing the door open and looking inside, the space inside was not small. In the middle stood rows of black jujube wood shelves, on which urns were neatly placed. Compared to the mortuary in Shouzhugan, this storage room was much cleaner and tidier. There were tables and chairs for people to rest on the side, and there was even a row of bookshelves and a row of sundry shelves against the wall.
Two rows of shelves later, there was a vermilion coffin parked in the corner. I couldn't help but feel a little strange. It was rare to see a coffin parked in a storage room. But Ronghua Funeral Home was originally a peculiar place among funeral homes, so some strange things were not surprising.
The coffin was not sealed, and the lid was half-opened and left there. I couldn't find anyone there, and out of boredom, I went over to see what kind of body was lying in the coffin.
As I got closer, I could vaguely see a person lying inside the coffin through the half-open lid, a pale pink mass. Just as I was about to get closer to take a closer look, a shadow suddenly flashed, and a snow-white hand stretched out from the coffin, grabbed my collar, and pulled me in.
I didn't have time to react, I just felt dizzy, my body flew into the air, and then I got into the coffin, and my head hit something. But it didn't hurt, but it felt soft and bounced a few times.
I was dazed for a moment, then I looked carefully and saw a familiar face, with red lips, white skin and a pair of watery eyes. It turned out to be Yan Zi. My head was buried in her chest at this time, and I was in a panic. I wanted to get up, but my head hit the coffin lid, and I suddenly saw stars in front of my eyes.
Yan Zi covered her mouth with her hand and yawned, saying, "Why are you here so early? Stay with me for a while." Then she pulled me back. Yan Zi had a good figure, a thin waist and big breasts. When she pressed against my face, I felt like a wall of flesh, and I couldn't breathe.
Finally, I heard someone outside calling, "Yanzi, I seemed to hear Lu Jing's voice just now. Has he been here?"
From the sound, it was the muscular man. After a long while, Yan Zi finally responded from inside: "Here."
With a sweet laugh, she finally pushed open the coffin lid, sat up, and climbed out holding me. I saw the muscular man standing at the door with a strange look on his face.
I finally managed to break free from Yan Zi's hands, but my clothes and pants were already wrinkled, and Yan Zi's scent was still on my hands and neck. I was so embarrassed that I wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
Yan Zi stretched and said lazily, "Fourth brother, you are up so early today."
The muscular man just glanced at me for a few times, but didn't say anything. He smiled innocently and said, "Didn't Lu Jing come today? The boss asked me to receive him. It's just that something happened up ahead, so we were delayed."
When I heard that something had happened, I interrupted and asked, "What happened?" After all, from now on I am considered an employee of Ronghua Funeral Home, and the funeral home's affairs are my business.
The muscular man looked unhappy and said, "There is something wrong with the snake fetus. The sixth one is in the solution room. The eldest and third ones have already gone there."
When I heard about the snake fetus, I remembered the corpse of the female disciple who was sent out to perform the ritual yesterday, and asked curiously, "What happened to the snake fetus?" No wonder I didn't see her in the mortuary before, it turned out that she was sent to another place. But I have never heard of this mortuary room, and I don't know where it is.
Swallow yawned and said, "Then let's go over and take a look." She looked sleepy and obviously hadn't gotten enough sleep.
I naturally agreed. I had never seen a snake fetus before, so I went to take a look. The muscular man smiled innocently and said, "It just so happens that the boss has ordered that if you wake up, you will be called as well." But he still stood there motionless.
Yan Zi raised an eyebrow: "What?"
The muscular man chuckled and said, "You may need to change your clothes."
The muscular man came suddenly just now, and Yan Zi crawled out of the coffin directly without changing her clothes. She was still wearing a tight pink vest and a pair of light blue shorts, revealing a large area of snow-white skin, making her figure look even more beautiful.
Yan Zi said disapprovingly: "What's wrong with my clothes? If you have the nerve, just don't look at them!" But despite what she said, she still went inside and changed her clothes.
The muscular man led us eastward to the funeral home's reception room. I asked a few more questions on the way and learned that this funeral home had a strange routine, only accepting business at night, and everyone was used to working at night. On the contrary, during the day, everyone basically slept in the room.
No wonder I didn't see anyone when I came here yesterday. I thought to myself, what kind of stupid rules are these? I don't know which crazy person made them. Qingzi gave me a strict order. I must go home and sleep at night. If I follow the rules of this museum, how can I have time to work?
I was a little worried, thinking about how I could get a shift change to work during the day when I met Boss Ma later.
We followed the muscular man for a while and came to a bungalow with a small sign on the door that read "jie shi". The wooden door was ajar, and the muscular man pushed it open and went in, followed by Yan Zi and I.
When I looked inside, I found that this room was smaller than the morgue, only about one-third of its size. It also had no windows, but at this moment, the incandescent light bulb hanging from the middle of the ceiling was emitting a dazzling light. Under the light was a wooden bed, and Ma Lao Da, Heimao, and Shou Zhugan were standing around it.
Seeing us come in, Boss Ma waved and motioned us to come over.
As I walked and looked around, I saw that in addition to a few wooden beds, there were two rows of wooden shelves against the wall, on which were placed a variety of utensils. At a glance, there were all kinds of knives and even things like bone-splitting axes.
Following the muscular man, they came closer and saw the female corpse they had seen yesterday lying on the wooden bed. Her clothes had been completely removed, and her snow-white belly was cut open with a shocking cut, starting from the heart and ending at the lower abdomen. Because the person had been dead for quite a while, there was no blood flowing out, but the edge of the wound was stained with a lot of black stuff like ink.
The thin man stood there , wearing a pair of gloves and holding a sharp knife in his right hand. The gloves were covered with sticky "ink". I guess he had cut open the woman's belly. I thought that this "dissection room" was probably an autopsy room, but I had never seen an autopsy room in a funeral home before, so it was a bit weird.
I looked at her a few more times and noticed that the woman's belly, which had originally bulged out like a small hill, was now as flat as a valley. It seemed that the snake fetus had been taken out.
"What a strange smell!" Yan Zi covered her nose and frowned.
The room was indeed filled with a strange smell, sour and fishy. The black-haired man had a gloomy face and said in a muffled voice: "You still think it stinks, we have been smelling it here all morning!"
Yan Zi rolled her eyes at him and said, "No one is forcing you to come!" These two people were really enemies. They started arguing as soon as they met.
Heimao snorted coldly and was about to say something else when he was stopped by a look from Boss Ma.
"You all come and see, Lao Liu just took out the snake fetus of this woman." Boss Ma glanced at Yan Zi and me, his brows furrowed, and his expression a little strange.
I felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird. After listening to Boss Ma's instructions, Skinny Bamboo said "Oh", walked over in a daze, and picked up a wooden box from the side.
Yan Zi frowned and said, "It's just a snake cub. What's so good about it? I hate this kind of thing the most."
Heimao sneered at the side. I was afraid that the two would quarrel again, so I hurried forward to open the wooden box. As soon as I opened it, a fishy smell immediately hit my nose.
Yan Zi quickly covered her nose. I took a look inside and was immediately startled, with all the hair on my body standing up.
In the box was a small green snake , covered in black and sticky "ink", making the green color unclear. The snake was about the thickness of a little finger and three inches long. Its scales had not yet grown, and it was obviously a newly born snake.
However, its head is not triangular, but round. If you look closely, you can vaguely make out the facial features of a baby!
What the hell is this thing! My scalp tingles when I see it. Is this thing a human or a snake?
