C9 Temporary Caretaker

"Oh, so it's that slug from back then."

I suddenly realized that I was thinking about a bullied, yellow snot always flowed down my nose in junior high school. I didn't expect that I was still a little handsome now.

He smiled and said, "At that time, you were a flower in our class. I didn't expect you to still be so beautiful now. No, you're even more beautiful now."

"Yo, kid, your mouth is quite sweet." I laughed.

"That's a must." "No," he said.

"Alright, back to the main topic. Are you working in the hospital now?" I asked.

He nodded.

"Not bad, I became a doctor." "No," I said.

Hearing this, his face revealed a trace of bitterness. "What doctor? I haven't studied since graduating from junior high. Now I'm going to be the hospital's guard for the mortuary."

"Zombie?" I was surprised.

He nodded and said, "This is not easy to do. Every night, you get worried. How are you doing? "

"I guess it's just an ordinary white-collar worker. The job is more leisurely." "No," I said.

"I truly regret that I was young and ignorant and did not continue studying." "No," he said.

"It's okay, everyone has their own path." "No," I said.

He smiled bitterly and asked doubtfully, "Oh right, why did you come to this place?"

"I was very curious about the mortuary. I just happened to pass by the hospital, so I came to take a look." I made it up.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want to experience what it feels like to be a guardian zombie?"

I was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"

He stammered, "I just arrived at this city not long ago, so I don't have any friends. Tonight is my girlfriend's birthday, so I can't come over to guard it, so …"

"So you want me to watch over you for the night." I laughed.

He embarrassedly nodded and said, "If you're scared, then just pretend I didn't say anything."

"You have to accompany your girlfriend on her birthday, so I'll definitely help you out." "No," I said.

"Really?" He was overjoyed.

I smiled and nodded.

"Thank you so much." He quickly thanked her.

"What are you thanking me for? I need to thank you for giving me the chance to experience the Zombie Guardian." "No," I said.

Then he gave me a set of keys and said, "When you come to work at eight o'clock in the evening, you'd better burn some incense by the door."

"Why?" I was startled.

"I don't want to lie to you. To tell you the truth, the morgue isn't peaceful. The incense burns to protect yourself." "No," he said.

Even though he already knew that the mortuary wasn't a peaceful place, hearing it from his own ears still gave him goosebumps.

"Give me the key if you're scared." "No," he said.

I shook my head. "I like excitement."

He was surprised for a moment, but then smiled: "Okay, but you have to be careful, if you feel that something is wrong, do not panic, leave here and come back. You have to do this to tell those things that you did not find out, because those things do not like to be found, and even if you see their appearance, you still have to pretend to see them, do you understand?"

I nodded nervously.

"Also, if anyone from the hospital comes to release or retrieve the corpse, open the door for them. But in the process, as a body guard, you must not enter the morgue, otherwise, terrible things will happen."

I hastily nodded my head. Actually, I was already scared stiff by his words. The reason why I agreed to guard the morgue for him was to make it easier to steal corpses. If I were to steal corpses, I definitely have to enter the morgue.

"As long as you do as I tell you, nothing will happen except the fear in your heart. You must remember this." he said again.

"Got it." I nodded.

Then he gave me his phone number and said he'd be in touch in time.

Finally, he said his thanks and left. He must be in a hurry to see his girlfriend.

It seems that tonight will be another terrifying night. Perhaps I have committed a heinous crime in my previous life, and will encounter this sort of thing again and again in this life.

At this point, Mr. Liu called and asked if the ghost had any further instructions, so I told him about the body theft and the morgue.

It's not that difficult to steal a corpse in the hospital, only the first floor's hall is monitored. There's no other place like that, after you get the corpse out, tie it up with a rope, and put it down from the back of the hospital. You can steal the corpse while it's still dark. "No," he said.

His words were really light, but since things had come to this point, the method he suggested was feasible.

I hung up and went to buy a length of rope and a stick of incense and a lighter, then went for a walk through the streets with my colleague Xiao Chun all afternoon because the head in the house didn't want me to go back.

As soon as night fell, I became too nervous to eat, so at seven-thirty I took a bus from the commercial street to the hospital, told the security guard on duty I was staying for Liu Xiong's night at the morgue, and they let me go to the morgue.

As soon as I got there, I lit the incense and stuck it in a well-prepared pit by the door. Then I sat down behind the table.

The hospital's guards were badly treated. The office was just a table facing the corridor.

And now, with the exception of the overhead light, which was not turned on in the corridor, it looked very dark in front of me, and the mortuary next to it was a gloomy scene, which made one wonder if something would pop up out of the darkness, and I had to stare into the darkness with my eyes wide open.

Staring, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a strange phenomenon out of the corner of my eye. The fragrance from the incense burning by the door didn't naturally disappear upwards, but instead leaped to the side at a slanted angle and suddenly disappeared into the air, as if something had just inhaled it!

My scalp immediately exploded. What else could it be other than this thing that could inhale this fragrance? So that thing had already appeared!

I tried to act as if I didn't know anything. My hands were trembling, and I was playing a game of mobile.

But the next moment, the table moved towards me in an inexplicable manner, scaring me to the point where my entire body tightened. It had obviously jumped to the front of the table, does it know that I've discovered its existence?

I pretended that I was completely immersed in the game. Naturally, I stood up and started to walk while playing the game.

The toilet was on the other side of the corridor, and my plan was to pretend to go to it and then come back and tell this thing I didn't know it was here and that it wouldn't be able to do anything to me if it took my incense.

Very quickly, I walked into a place where there wasn't any light shining on it. Then, I felt something emitting a cold aura following me from the side. I could even vaguely feel its cold gaze!

I panicked, hoping to fool him.
