Chapter 46: Morgue

  My heart is racing, the stairs are indeed dark and gloomy. As soon as I think about going down to face the cold corpse, I become afraid and tightly grasp Su Jinan's hand.

  He also held me tight, bringing a warmth. When we reached the corner, he pulled me along, gently kissing my forehead and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, I can see anything in the dark too, it's clean here, don't worry."

  He said that, I became bolder and even my footsteps became much steadier.

  Finally arrived at the mortuary, this is a very large and empty room, just like on TV, inside there are rows of movable beds, on which lie people at rest, covered with white cloth, in such a deep night, it looks eerie and terrifying.

  I hardly dare take a step forward, no matter what Su Jinan says, the fear in my heart is always there.

  "I'm not here, go over there." He said as he pulled me by the hand and walked inside.

  They are no longer such simple mortuaries, but rather those that can be pulled out like drawers, refrigerated at low temperatures.

  Each cabinet has a nameplate with the deceased's name, age and date of entry. As we went to the innermost compartment, we found a cabinet with an inscription that read: "Ji Lan, entered on ***, 2*** year * month * day, aged 30."

  Su Jinan's face had transformed into Ji Luan's appearance, he looked somewhat excited, I can imagine his mood, it was a kind of wonderful feeling of meeting oneself ---- but mixed with deep pain, because he met the deceased himself.

  I'm also very excited, after he passed away, I haven't gone back to visit him again because I was afraid of the pain of parting.

  He stretched out his hand and was about to pull open the drawer when a heavy footsteps came from outside the door!

  There is no place to hide in this house, as soon as you enter, our existence can be seen at a glance.

  Ji Lian suddenly came up with an idea, and lifted the two beds that had corpses on them. She quickly stacked one corpse on top of the other, then swiftly covered them with a white cloth. Immediately after, she pulled me onto the bed as well, and covered herself too.

  I thought about the dead person who had just been lying on this bed, and my heart felt a chill, but I didn't dare move because the footsteps outside were getting closer and closer. Before long, someone came in.

  Listening carefully, it turned out that there was more than one person.

  All I heard was an old voice saying, "The corpse you're looking for is inside, go in."

  The newcomer didn't respond, but followed the owner of the voice and walked towards us together.

  All they heard was a pause in their voices, followed by a "rustling" sound, and the drawer must have been opened.

  Later, there were humming and hissing sounds, which should be the old man who took care of the corpse moving it out.

  "This corpse, when you sent it over to look at that year, said it was to be kept confidential. Usually, except for me, only my apprentice would come to take care of it, so no one knew about the existence of this corpse. Look, we took such good care of it and kept it so secret..."

  "This is your reward, now you figure out a way to help me get the body up there, my car is just outside."

  My heart suddenly leaped up and almost fell off this narrow bed! Fortunately, Ji Lian stretched out his hand to pull me back.

  That voice was actually Sun Wen! How could he be here?!
