The black cat next to the girl's hand entered an emergency reaction again because of the twitch of the fingers.Its fur stood on end,and it scratched at the girl's hand.
I just thought that the twitch of the fingers I saw earlier was an illusion and didn't pay attention to it.But now,the action of this black cat really scared me out of my wits.
I didn't care about anything else and hurriedly reached into the coffin to drive the cat away.But who would have thought that the cat jumped out of the coffin,ran quickly past my feet,and left the mourning hall.
Although the black cat left the mourning hall where I was,there is more than one mourning hall in this funeral parlor,and there is more than one corpse.
The doors of the other mourning halls are also not closed.I was afraid that something would happen,so I rushed out to chase after it.
Fortunately,I managed to drive the black cat away in just a few minutes.When I finally let out a sigh of relief,I returned to the mourning hall.
“Damn it,I'm really exhausted.”
I reached out and wiped the sweat off my face.Suddenly,at this moment,a dog's bark came from outside the window.
This is the bark of our funeral parlor's big black dog.This dog is usually very obedient and generally doesn't bark.Why is it barking suddenly in the middle of the night?
I was a bit puzzled and planned to go out and have a look.When I came to the doghouse,I found that the big black dog was standing upright and staring in one direction.
“Big Black,you must be hungry.I'm sorry.I was too busy tonight and forgot to feed you.”
I found the dog food bucket and fed the big black dog.I looked at the chain it was tied with.
Anyway,no one would come here at night,and I wasn't afraid that the big black dog would scare anyone,so I took off the chain around the big black dog's neck.
I thought about whether I could bring the big black dog into the mourning hall to keep me company during the night shift later.After all,it was my first time staying with a corpse overnight,and it would be a lie to say that I wasn't a bit scared.
After I fed the big black dog,I took it back to the mourning hall.
I made the big black dog lie down obediently.I found the special makeup box for the corpses and planned to find some foundation or something in it to cover up the scratches that the black cat made on the corpse earlier.
I came to the front of the coffin and leaned over to look inside.However,when I looked,I was stunned on the spot.
The corpse...
Was gone!
There was not the slightest trace of the corpse in the empty coffin.
Could it be that someone stole the corpse?
No,that couldn't be right.Who would be so bored as to steal a corpse?
Could it be that the corpse came back to life and ran away by itself?
Suddenly,I remembered the scene of seeing the corpse's fingers twitching earlier,and then I recalled what the old-timers in the funeral parlor said about the black cat being able to make the corpse come back to life.
Could it be that I really encountered a case of a corpse coming back to life?!
I really didn't expect that on my first day working at this funeral parlor,I would encounter such a thing.But now that things have come to this,what can I do?
You know,the loss of a corpse is the most taboo thing in a funeral parlor.At that time,not only would I lose my job,but I might even be sued by the family of the corpse.
I didn't dare to be negligent.I took the big black dog,left the funeral parlor,locked the door,and started looking for the whereabouts of the corpse nearby.
Logically speaking,if the corpse came back to life,it shouldn't have run far.But I've looked around,and there is no trace of the corpse.Since that's the case,there is only one possibility.
Our funeral parlor is next to a mountain.If we can't find the corpse in three directions,there is only one possibility.After the corpse came back to life,it entered the West Hill behind it.
Looking at the eerie and terrifying back mountain,I gritted my teeth and made up my mind to walk into the mountain.
