hat's so interesting about this I've been wearing it for years."“...For many years Have you always used such a long red thread” I asked.Chen Su-xin nodded. "My mom put this on me, she said the red str...Achi's black-and-white company was located near the crematorium. There was a row of grayish-blue two-story shops there, all dealing in funeral services: wreaths, paper offerings, urns, and so on.
His company bought the three adjacent storefronts. The downstairs is for reception and product display, and upstairs is for offices and a break room.
This is my first time in a place like this. I don't know if it's psychological, but I feel like this company is cold and impersonal. The elaborate paper figures look rather eerie as well.
"You spend your days here, and you're still as white and plump as ever. You really are a kind soul," my brother complained.
"There's no other way, my father works in the funeral industry, so I just started a company following his footsteps. In this day and age, everything needs to be above board and official, otherwise the relevant departments will make things difficult." Archie followed behind my brother with a respectful demeanor.
My brother asked a question, and he answered it with a good attitude.
He also understands that being the head of the family means having access to the Mu family's many resources, funds, connections, and the protection of the grandfather. So he is hoping my brother can save him.
Those who tread the path of yin and yang are often afraid of karmic retribution. Under my brother's relentless questioning, he stammered and admitted that he had indeed had a relationship with a young female employee at the company.
However, he is a divorced man. He can have relationships with whomever he chooses and it's not worth criticizing. It's neither adultery nor harmful to families, so we couldn't care less.
"Since you're single and have a child, why not remarry What are you doing hanging out with this young girl Are you just looking to have some fun and not get married" My brother asked.
Aqi nodded and said, "To be honest, it's because of the children that I don't dare to get married again. I'm afraid a stepmother would not be good to them... This little sister is not suitable. She doesn't have much love for children. I didn't even think about marrying her... I'm just afraid she will cling to me..."
My brother expressed understanding. He checked at my sister's work station, and there were some feminine items in the drawers, as well as flyers from beauty salons.
"She must be a beauty with all this focus on dressing up, huh" My brother flipped through the pamphlet, which advertised weight loss and skincare.
Achimedes hesitated, "I guess so... Here's a picture. You can take a look."
He pointed at the staff photo on the work wall. As the only female employee, the young woman in a suit and knee-length skirt stood in the middle, trying her best to look dignified.
We were taken aback, this flavor... it's quite unique.
Archie is of medium build, with a slightly round belly, but overall his frame is quite slender and he's not very tall. I didn't expect this little sister of his...
My brother stroked his chin and said, "Just looking at this photo, I'd say he weighs at least 180 pounds His calves are thicker than Xiao Qiao's waist! He's really sturdy."
Aki laughed nervously, now worried that the little sister's ghost would haunt him after her demise. He dared not utter a single bad word: "This... she's a bit more ample."
I was looking at the photo and saw how deeply the waistband was cinched in. Is that supposed to be "curvy"
My brother mercilessly complained: "I'm not doubting your abilities in any way, but I'm just wondering about the size difference between you two. Can you even lift her legs When she sits on you, will she be able to find your manhood Don't you worry about her sitting on it and breaking it"
Archie blushed: "This, this... is a little embarrassing, so I suspected that this little rascal had someone else outside, but I didn't take it seriously."
"Still a little goblin... You should really rest assured, this figure is too safe." My brother shook his head and checked his desk again. All the useful stuff had been taken by the police, these were just scraps of paper.
"Haven't you noticed anything unusual about her Lately." my brother asked.
Archie scratched his head: "I didn't feel anything... I just had a room with her a few days ago..."
I stood behind Archie. There was a faint red line near the collar of his shirt, as if a mark had been left there.
It is said that to remove the skin completely, it requires flaying while the animal is still alive.
When blood dies, it stops flowing. Without warm blood, it is easy to damage.
I thought painting skin was a legend, that our ancestors had exaggerated the idea of soul possession. I didn't expect there to be an actual spell that allowed someone to disguise themselves by wearing another person's skin.
The old demon was loyal to the Ghost Princess and would definitely find a way to locate a suitable "dwelling" for her to possess.
Archie said that the night before last, he took his younger sister to the funeral home to handle the body. He was under a lot of pressure and dozed off on a bench for a while. He felt someone had come in, but when morning came, his younger sister woke him up, and her eyes looked somewhat vacant.
If someone were to leave a mark on Archie's neck tonight, they should expect trouble.
"Do you keep records of your work Show us." My brother asked.
Aki lowered his voice. "This is taboo. Relatives generally don't allow work records to be left behind, but I have to cover my tracks in case the family accuses me of tampering with or defiling the body. People these days will do anything for money... So I secretly hid a pinhole camera in the clothes..."
He opened his laptop, which was organized into folders by date, each containing the day's assigned tasks.
We watched some of the recent business footage. Inside a special small room at the funeral home, the white lights made the corpses appear bluish-gray. Since Archie held the camera on his shoulder, the lens was focused on the stitching up of the bodies.
The torn flesh turned black, and white bones could be faintly seen. Archie, wearing surgical rubber gloves, pushed the bone back into place, cut away the ragged flesh, and then stitched the skin together stitch by stitch.
I twisted my head, looking at the ghost didn't feel that nauseating anymore.
"You're alright, you can still live so cheerfully even facing these things. You have a good mental fortitude," my brother said before turning off the video.
"Tsk, my wife divorced me because of this. She said she couldn't stand my job. I touched corpses with my hands and then went to touch her, she was terrified, so it was a peaceful breakup. Both daughters stayed with me. As the head of the household, I really treasure my children. Please, I'm just afraid that little sister's vengeful spirit will haunt me—"
She constantly pressures me to get married. I asked her if she still wants to have more children She said of course, otherwise my two daughters will take over all the property in the future and kick her out, how can she survive
"As soon as I heard this plan, I dismissed the idea of marrying her. Bringing her home would drive me crazy!" Archie looked quite pitiful.
The welcoming Maneki-Neko at the entrance suddenly said, "Welcome," as we looked up through the frosted glass, a black figure flashed past.
What are you running from This kind of shop wouldn't come to visit!
My brother immediately chased after him.
Achilles also ran out the door. My brother tackled the man not far away, and the two of them brought him in.
Looking up, I saw that this man's eyes were unfocused. My brother immediately slapped a talisman for exorcism on his forehead.
The talisman hissed and puffed out green smoke, the man roared and shrieked. My brother casually grabbed a piece of paper money from the shelf and shoved it into his mouth.
He drew out his Kunlun Sword and sneered, "I knew you Ghost Princesses couldn't contain that restless spring heart of yours. What do you think Letting you become cannon fodder to deliver a message Do you even want me to be her servant"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! "Actually, they're not bad looking."Isn't that so I think this person has perfect features, with balanced brows, clear eyes, a full forehead, and strong cheekbones. Their ears are well-defined with p...
