chapter 1 Furnace No. 9

My Jack Zhang, I am a rural kid,

He didn't graduate from high school, but because of the pressure of life, he found a job as a corpse picker.

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

The cremation room is empty and quiet, and nine Cremation Furnace are neatly arranged in a row.

In the afternoon, it looked a little dead and cold.

Seeing the corpse trolley coming in, I hurried over to take the trolley and the cremation order.

Because my master Joe Smith didn't come, I was a little panicked as a novice.

The twenty-five or six-year-old John Manager said to me: "Jack Zhang, Master Joe and Master Qi are not here, and the other masters are off duty. You push the dead to the No. 9 furnace for cremation."

My heart skipped a beat!

Master Joe told me not to touch No. 9 stove,

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

Seeing me in a daze, the unsmiling John Manager Zhuang said in an official tone: "Jack Zhang, work hard, Master Joe is going to retire soon, when you take over Master Joe's class, you won't be treated like you are now."

"Okay." I replied.

My father died of uremia not long ago. In order to treat my father, he ruined his family and owed more than 100,000 foreign debts.

For me, nothing is more terrifying than not being in debt!

Seeing that I obediently pushed the cart to the No. 9 stove, the John Manager nodded at me and left.

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

Those in good condition will be packed in disposable cardboard coffins.

But this corpse was covered with a white sheet from the hospital.

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

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

A strange fragrance emanates from the body.

It smells itchy.

This kind of person should be the kind with no relatives and no reason, and no one cares about it after death.

Open the furnace door and carefully move the female corpse onto the conveyor belt.

Take two steps back and perform the funeral ceremony to the deceased.

Brew your emotions, think about the debt of more than 100,000 yuan,

Immediately, a pained and dignified expression appeared on my face.

With both hands clinging to the sides of the thighs, he solemnly bowed three times to the corpse,

After the salute, I was just about to press the teleport button,

Suddenly saw something moving under the clothes on her chest,

Puff up a small bag as big as a peanut,

There are rules in our business, you can't bring anything alive into the furnace,

Not even a woodworm, it's a big no-no.

I have been with Master Joe for so long, and I have never encountered such a thing.

If you call him for such a trivial matter, he will look down on him too much!

Thinking that he will soon take over his class, he should handle things by himself.

Bite the bullet and stretch your hand under the white cloth,

I didn't completely remove the white cloth, I didn't want to see her face.

palm against her cold skin,

Want to quickly take out that wriggling thing,

The strange thing is that I didn't even touch that wriggling thing!

It was as if it had evaporated out of thin air and disappeared under my eyelids!

I froze for a moment, and quickly withdrew my hand, how weird is this? !

Gathered his mind, and checked carefully to make sure there was nothing,

But I felt that the fingertip of the index finger of the hand that went in was numb all the time.

Taking a look, there was a red mark like a blood mole on the fingertip,

I don't know when and where I touched the congestion, and I don't care.

Bow three times again, and say solemnly: "Go all the way."

Press the transfer button, and the female corpse is slowly sent into the furnace by the conveyor belt.

Close the oven door and press the fire button.

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

Diesel pure oxygen and high pressure can burn all clothes and hair in 30 seconds.

But this time is different, it was supposed to be a raging flame,

But it turned into a faint blue flame from alcohol, which had no temperature at all.

what's the situation?

I was suddenly stunned!

The cremation machine and the blower are running normally, and the diesel flame is also normal.

It is a red flame with high temperature and pressure, which becomes a blue flame with no temperature at all.

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

But never.

In desperation, he could only turn off the cremation machine and exit the female corpse.

Not only was the body not hot,

As if it had just been taken out of the freezer, it exuded a cold breath.

This is so abnormal!

I immediately called Master Joe and told the story.

Master Joe yelled on the phone: "You want to die, kid, who told you to light the No. 9 stove? Didn't I tell you not to let you light the No. 9 stove?!"

I was even more scared when Master Joe yelled at me.

He said in a panic, "The new John Manager asked me to order it."

There was a long silence on the phone, followed by a sigh.

I asked timidly: "Master Joe, how about I ask John Manager to change the stove?"

Master Joe said in a heavy voice: "The furnace has already been turned on, and it is useless to change it!"

I asked in a panic, "Then what should I do?"

Master Joe paused for a moment and said, "If the body cannot be burned, there must be obsession. 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 John Manager. "

I put down the phone, chanted the spell three times, and then sent the female body into the furnace again,

The result is still the same, so I can only find the John Manager.

After hearing this, John Manager Zhuang said to me with a serious face: "Jack Zhang, please don't tell anyone about this matter. If you go out and talk nonsense and affect the reputation of our funeral home, it's not as simple as dismissal. You have to be held legally accountable, do you understand?!"

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

John Manager first called Master Joe, but he couldn't get through.

Let me call, but I can't get through.

I secretly wondered that it was still connected just now, it must be that Master Joe shut down the phone on purpose.

John Manager Master Qi Qi again,

More than ten minutes later, Master Qi in his forties came.

Although the No. 9 furnace is under the management of Master Joe, but Master Qi is the leader of the incineration team, so of course he should be consulted if there is anything to do.

John Manager Zhuang saw that Master Qi had arrived,

He said to me: "Jack Zhang, you go back and rest first, let Master Qi handle this."

In fact, I want to stay and learn from Master Qi Qi.

This Cremator is not as simple as pressing a button,

Think of a master who earned more than 10,000 a month, who has a deep knowledge!

You have to be able to recite all kinds of spells, and you must also be able to test corpses and the six realms.

Master Qi has a hulking back and a particularly strong physique. His unique skill is to touch yin and yang and break the six realms.

I heard from Master Joe that Master Qi determine how cold the lower abdomen is by touching the stiffness of the corpse's knees.

You can judge which of the six paths you will cast into.

Seeing Master Qi inspecting female corpses, I really want to learn it.

This is a well-paid craft!

John Manager glanced at me and signaled to me again that I could go back.

I had no choice but to greet him in my heart, Lao Mu, while walking out unwillingly.

Furnace No. 9 is at the innermost part of the cremation room, and it takes 50 to 60 meters to walk to the exit.

I deliberately pretended to be very tired, and walked out slowly,

Listen to what Master Qi has to say,

Master Qi didn't say anything, just pasted a few talismans, put the female corpse into the furnace, and pressed the ignition button.

The cremation machine started to work with a bang,

I couldn't help feeling depressed and regretful,

Alas, such a good opportunity, it's a pity that I didn't learn the craft!

After walking to the exit, I don't give up,

After a while of silence in the corridor, when I heard the cremation machine stop, I felt something was wrong,

Normally it takes about twenty minutes to get it done, this is only three minutes? !

I pretended to go back to get my clothes, and went into the cremation room again.

Seeing that the female corpse came out, it was the same as when I operated it, unscathed,

Even braving the cold frost.

I let out a long sigh, Master Qi didn't get it done,

Can't help but smile a little gloatingly,

He took off his clothes and walked out without any regrets.

I rented a house near the funeral home, a simple two-story building,

The rent is also the cheapest.

Go up to the second floor, and when you reach the door of your house, stamp your feet hard three times,

Open the door and enter the house, go straight to the bathroom, stand in front of the mirror for a while, and then take a shower.

This is the custom of purging when returning home from being a Cremator, and it is like this every day.

After dinner, I lay down on the bed and played games on my phone.

Suddenly someone knocked on the door.

When I opened the door, my eyes lit up,

A woman with long hair and a beautiful face appeared at my door,

Looks like twenty-two or three-year-old,

She has a slender figure and fat skin, but her complexion is pale and somewhat sickly,

A familiar fragrance came into my breath,

It feels itchy and crispy, and my heart can't help but rippling.

"Hello, my name is Summer Lee. I'm new here. Can you teach me how to surf the Internet?" The woman asked while holding up her pink mobile phone and staring at her watery red phoenix eyes.

"No problem, my Jack Zhang, come in." I hastily made way for the room.

After entering the house, I helped her download a WiFi master key, and she was connected quickly.

Summer Lee went online happily, and said: "Jack Zhang, your house is cleaner than mine. You are a clean boy. What do you do?"

I'm afraid people will ask me what I do!

He said embarrassingly: "I work in a special industry, so don't be afraid to tell me!"

Summer Lee said with a chuckle: "Do you think I look like a timid woman? Tell me, I won't be able to scare you."

I took a deep breath and said, "I work in the funeral home in front, and I'm a body picker."

While fiddling with her mobile phone, Summer Lee smiled nonchalantly, "There's nothing scary about working in a funeral home. I'm a real special occupation. I work in a pedicure parlor. Are you afraid?"

In fact, I have long noticed that she is dressed a little differently.

Skinny ripped hanging leg jeans, the holes are torn too much,

A small black silk camisole that exposed the navel, with a sparkling blue diamond inlaid on the navel.

I saw her slightly swollen belly, and I never had the nerve to ask.

Summer Lee saw me looking at her belly with strange eyes,

He said lightly, "I'm pregnant, and I don't know who the baby's father is. Is there anything else I want to ask?"

"No, no, I didn't mean that!" I faltered incoherently.

Embarrassed face is red.

Summer Lee laughed loudly,

When she smiled, I noticed that her mouth was big and beautiful,

A bit like Shu Qi's mouth,

Looking at it makes people can't help but think about it.

Summer Lee stopped laughing with great difficulty, and asked with bright eyes: "Why are you blushing? Could it be that you haven't had a date yet?"

Let her ask so bluntly, I blushed even more.

Embarrassed, he changed the subject and said, "Do you want the child in your stomach?"

"The baby is in my womb, so it's mine. Of course I want it, whoever his father is!" After Summer Lee said it as a matter of course, she suddenly looked at me as if she had discovered a new world.

Then he twisted Xiaoman's waist with a smile and said, "Jack Zhang, why don't you be the baby's father, there are benefits."
