this is not a joke

Chapter 83 Seven Steps into the Funeral
"It's okay, I'll come first!"

Wei An said something behind him, and then entered the morgue.

Only a dim light was on at the entrance of the morgue. After walking a few steps inside, Wei An's figure was soon engulfed in darkness.

At first Luo Kai and the others could still see his back, but soon the back became blurred and merged with the faintly visible large number of morgues.

The three of them didn't move, they just tried their best to open their eyes wide and look into the morgue, and they couldn't even feel the cold air blowing out of the room for a while.

Inside the morgue.

Wei An slowly approached the row of mortuary cabinets in front of him. The mortal cabinets were divided into four floors, but only the lower two floors were used to store the corpses, and the upper mortuary cabinets were not in use.

In fact, after entering the dark, you can still see things, but the vision is very blurred.

Although the rules say that props cannot be used, that is, professional skills can be used, but there is no need for Wei An to use them at all.

When he was about to approach the range of the morgue, a prompt appeared in front of his eyes again.

[You have reached the range of seven steps into the funeral, please turn around. 】

Wei An immediately turned around, with his back to the morgue.

Being in the dark, he could easily see the three people outside the door staring nervously at the inside of the morgue, but their eyes were not focused, and it was obvious that they couldn't see what was going on inside.

After turning his back to the morgue, Wei An quickly focused on his ears, tried his best to ensure unimpeded hearing, and took a step back at the same time.

There was no movement, and after this step, he heard nothing.

After a pause, he took another big step back.

When this second step was just taken, a certain morgue behind him clicked, and the metal rollers rubbed against the bottom groove, making a slightly harsh sound.

The sound was so loud that Wei An couldn't hear clearly whether it was coming from directly behind him or from the left rear.

He kept his breathing calm, not letting his mood be disturbed, and listened carefully again.

Then he backed away slowly and took the third step.

click!
When Wei An's feet didn't even touch the ground, there was another rubbing sound, which was slightly softer than before.

This time Wei An heard clearly that the sound of metal rubbing came from his left rear, which should not be far away from him at this time.

He adjusted the angle slightly, stepped forward with his left foot, and took a big step backward obliquely.

Not far behind, the morgue moved slowly and slid out a lot again, but the friction sound was less than before.

Wei An pricked up his ears to listen carefully again.

At this moment, there should be three mortuaries behind him on the left side. The angle and distance from which the sound came from just now should not open the leftmost morgue, but the second or third one from the left. a cabinet.

Wei An has already walked four steps, and the remaining three steps are very important. The direction should not be too far away, and the distance should not be too far after seven steps, otherwise it will be difficult to get close to the corpse for encoffining.

He stretched out his left foot again, and slid a small step to the left rear.

The morgue seemed to be about to slide out completely, so the sound was quieter this time, only a slight click, followed by silence.

Wei An frowned. He suspected that when he took the last step, the cabinet might not make a sliding sound to remind him because it was completely out.

Listening to the sound now, it seemed that this morgue was the third from the left, but he wasn't sure.

I reached out and touched the back, but because there was still a distance, I couldn't touch anything.

The rules of this strange talk only say that it takes exactly seven steps to retreat to the open morgue, and it doesn't say that you can't reach back and feel around during this process to determine the position.

Judging from the sound just now, even though Wei An's current direction is correct, it seems that there is still some distance before he can approach the target.

He estimated the approximate distance in his heart, adjusted his direction slightly to the left, and then took a big step back.

This time, there was no sound behind him during the retreat, which meant that the morgue had completely slid out.

Wei'an can only calculate the direction of the sound just now, and then exit the sixth step.

After standing still, he took a light breath, and he could already feel a colder air coming from a place behind him, which should be coming from the opened morgue.

Based on the coldness, Wei An stretched out his hand to feel back again, and even leaned back a little so that he could grope further.

A moment later, the tip of his left finger touched a piece of cold metal.

This is the second morgue from the left and belongs to the second floor.

"It's here!"

Wei'an's heart was shaken, and he adjusted his direction again according to the position of the metal he found, and then took the last step back.

This time, through the peripheral vision on his left side, he could already see an open mortuary cabinet beside him. There was a corpse lying in the dark cabinet, but because it was too dark and the corpse was wrapped in a deep The color body bag, so I don't know if it is a man or a woman, fat or thin.

A hint of a strange story appeared in front of my eyes.

[You have found the correct position, please start to encoffin the deceased and trim the remains. 】

What needs to be explained here is that because this is in the morgue of the hospital, encoffining does not refer to putting the deceased in a coffin, but to restore the state of the deceased before death, such as trimming the face and body.

If the work is simpler, you only need to make up the face of the deceased, but if the workload is heavy, if the deceased died in a car accident, the face may be damaged, and this part of the damaged face must be repaired.

If the limbs or body are damaged, the work of encoffining and repairing will be more time-consuming and laborious, and sometimes one person cannot do it at all.

However, Wei An speculates that since this strange talk requires them to complete the encoffining work in the dark (or at least in a dim state), it may not involve too much trimming. It is impossible to do it under any circumstances.

Then this is not E-level strange talk, I am afraid that it is more appropriate to be B-level, or even A-level.

Wei An is standing on the left side of the morgue that has slid out, and is almost near the chest of the corpse. If it is going to be coffined, this position is more suitable.

In his mind, as just now, he was told to add encoffining makeup and facial and body trimming skills. Although he hadn't actually done it, the process of encoffining was no stranger to Wei An at this moment.

A set of coffining tools is hanging on the handle of the morgue. This is a leather tool bag, and a full set of tools should be prepared inside.

Wei An took it down and spread it out under his feet. He found not only powder puffs, eyebrow trimming scissors, eye shadow brushes, shaving knives, powder cakes, etc., but also iron wires, steel nails, screws, small electric drills, and even a small hammer. .

After seeing these tools, his heart sank slightly. If there were tools such as iron wires and hammers, it might be that some parts of the corpse's body needed to be trimmed, not just makeup.

Without taking any tools for the time being, Wei An stood up and leaned over the morgue, unzipped the zipper of the body bag above his head, and pulled it all the way to the corpse's feet, then looked over.

Although the light here is very dark, but because the distance is very close, and there is still a little light coming through the door of the morgue, you can barely see the appearance of the corpse.

The corpse in the body bag was not wearing any clothes. It was a male with thin and short hair, about sixty, and slightly fat.

When he opened the body bag, his face was very peaceful, as if he was asleep, but when Wei An unzipped the body bag completely, and then turned to look at his face, the man's thick lips were gone. Open it, facing Wei An's head.
