Universe Infinite Canteen

Malu drove to the place that Laohei mentioned. It was a funeral home located in the suburbs.

It was past 11 o'clock in the evening, and the funeral home had already closed. It was no longer as lively as it was during the day, and it seemed very quiet in the dark night.

However, through the gate, you can see sporadic light coming from inside, and it is obvious that there are still people on duty.

And just before Malu and his group arrived, a dark blue car drove in. It should be transporting corpses. Corpses transported after get off work will charge 50% more than during the day.

However, external vehicles obviously cannot enter.

Malu dialed the number Laohei gave him. After about ten minutes, a man in his 40s wearing a brown leather jacket walked out of the door.

He looked at Malu and the wandering warlock with a vigilant look, then looked around to confirm that there was no one else before lowering his voice and saying, "Where is the body?"

"In the trunk." Malu said as he opened the trunk of the es8.

The scene inside startled the leather jacket man.

There was a thing wrapped in tin foil, so wrapped that it was unrecognizable, leaning against the folded back seat.

"Why are you wrapping it in so much tin foil? Are you going to marinate it and put it in the oven?"

"This is my new car, brother."

In order to prevent the blood from getting on his newly bought car, Malu was also very thoughtful, but the materials at hand were really limited.

Unable to find a body bag, or even a large plastic bag, he could only adapt to the situation and wrap the body with a few boxes of tin foil left in the car.

Malu then handed over a plastic bag, "Here."

Because it was very dark, the leather jacket man didn't see what was inside at first, until he took it in his hand and found that it was a head.

He was shocked again, "Your car is quite big, why do you pack them separately?"

"Didn't I tell you that we were attacked on the road, and Uncle Zheng's head was gone."

"Where's Lao Hei?"

"He was also in that pile of tin foil. He looked very weak. I asked him what song he wanted to listen to on the road, but he didn't answer me."

"It must be because he hasn't gotten nutrients for too long. Take this body and follow me." The leather-clad man said.

"Okay." Although Malu said this, he didn't move, and looked at the duty booth not far away.

As if he knew what he was thinking, the leather-clad man said, "Don't worry, we are one of us, and I have the final say here."

Then the two of them started to work, each lifting one end of the body.

The female sorcerer was not very interested in helping the corpse parasite change its body, so she chose to stay in the car and continue to enjoy the massage and heating.

Malu followed the leather-clad man, and the two crossed a small square, continued to walk in along the corridor next to it, and finally walked outside a small house.

The leather jacket man opened the door, and there were more than 20 stainless steel cabinets inside, with numbers on the cabinets. It looked like the morgue.

However, the leather jacket man did not stop, but continued to walk forward. When he came to a cabinet, he signaled Malu to put the body on the ground first. He went over and moved the cabinet away, revealing a small door behind it.

Malu let out a light exclamation.

The leather jacket man said proudly, "In fact, the bodies in the morgue are basically unmovable, because the family members have to say goodbye to the body before cremation, so the bodies I really collect are cremated bodies.

"It is safest to replace the body when putting it into the crematorium. I have set up a mechanism on the crematorium. At that time, the bones of cattle and sheep will be used to replace the original body to be burned. Anyway, even the closest people can't recognize it after it is burned to ashes. "

Malu said, "This is too despicable. Then everyone comes to worship their loved ones during festivals and express their grief. The food offered and the paper money burned will all be cheap for the cattle and sheep. "

When he thought of those widows crying over a box of sheep bone powder, children calling for their fathers over beef bone powder, and younger generations using beef jerky to pay tribute to the cattle that died in the slaughterhouse, Malu's expression became strange.

The leather jacket man still argued, "Anyway, no one will really open it to see what's in the box. It doesn't matter what's in the box. Even if it's real, they won't get the paper money and food. Besides, after a while, when the body can't be used, we will quietly replace the ashes."

"Really?" Malu asked suspiciously.

"Well... I will occasionally change it when I'm in a good mood. After all, it's troublesome to dig holes and fill holes back and forth. After all, as long as no one talks about this kind of thing, it won't have any impact. Besides, our family's cemetery is cheaper than other families, and we have already paid for the use of the body."

"And hasn't the government been advocating a low-carbon economy and internal circulation during this period? We are also responding to the country's call. "

"Internal circulation doesn't mean you can circulate corpses," Malu looked at the man in leather jacket, "By the way, are you also a corpse parasite? Did you open this funeral home just to have corpses?"

To his surprise, the man in leather jacket shook his head, "I'm not a corpse parasite. Although corpse parasites can repair corpses and restore basic functions to a certain extent, a corpse with particularly good appearance can only be used by the parasite for three or four years at most. If you keep changing your identity, you can't run a decent business."

"As for the boss, strictly speaking, I'm just one of the partners. There's another big boss above me, but he has many businesses, and the funeral home is just one of them. He doesn't come here twice a year, so I'll take care of it."

As the man in leather jacket spoke, he lifted up Uncle Zheng's body again and walked into the small door.

Malu followed him. The layout inside was similar to that outside, but the area was smaller, less than half the size. There were only a dozen stainless steel cabinets, and two small tables.

The leather jacket man lifted the body on one of the tables and peeled off the layers of tin foil wrapped around it.

Then he picked up the notebook on another table and flipped through two pages. "Let me see... There was a girl who was cremated yesterday afternoon. She was only 19 years old. It was said that she jumped into the river because of emotional problems. The body was well preserved. I kept it. It was a bargain for Lao Hei."

"Wait, there is no problem with women?" Malu said.

"What's the problem? The parasite group has no gender distinction. Lao Hei had worked as a hostess for two years before, and was active in various nightclubs in City B.

"I also went to sing with him, and he generously let me touch his thigh, and he didn't charge me. At that time, I felt that he was a good friend. It was because of this friendship that when he said he was in trouble and was being hunted, I found a corpse that had not been cremated and lent it to him for emergency.

"But I didn't expect that he would use it to this extent." The leather jacket man sighed as he looked at the headless corpse on the table.
