51: Chapter 51 A zombie coming back to life? A minor matter.
"Holy crap! That corpse... it moved!"
"He, he he, damn it, it actually moved!"
"What moved? I'm a timid person, don't try to fool me..."
"Guys, look over there in the corner! That woman Lin Heng just did the makeup for—oh no, the female corpse—she really moved!"
At first, everyone was just joking, but now, they couldn't joke anymore.
After all, they had genuinely seen a female corpse twitch on the platform, just like a zombie rising!
Who could handle that??
Everyone initially thought it was a prank, purely for show effect, but now it seemed impossible for this thing to be staged!
Damn it, it nearly scared them to death!
"Streamer, stop being lovesick! There's something unclean moving next to you, look quickly!"
"Waaah, I never expected the first supernatural event I'd witness would be on a live stream."
"Quick, call the police! It'll be fine once the police arrive."
"Streamer, be careful..."
Everyone now just wanted to use the live stream to warn Su Xueer to pay attention to the situation, while some quickly called her via private phone.
Su Xueer was also puzzled.
It was already past one in the morning, who would be calling her?
"Hello... A corpse rising? Stop trying to scare me. I know that after the founding of the nation, even monsters aren't allowed to gain sentience."
"Alright, I won't talk to you anymore, I have things to do."
"Hmm? You want me to look behind me? What's so interesting back there?"
Hearing this, Su Xueer subconsciously turned her head.
Ahhh!!
She almost fainted on the spot.
At that moment, a corpse had already sat up on the platform; it was the one whose face Lin Heng had previously handled.
After Lin Heng's makeup application, this female corpse, named Bai Chuchu, looked like a normal person, and her face even seemed to have some color.
However, the eerie appearance made people's scalps tingle just looking at her.
The body was stiff as it sat up from the platform. The white cloth fell away, revealing her originally curvy figure, which made everyone's scalp crawl even more.
The audience in the live stream sucked in a cold breath.
Hiss...!
Su Xueer's limbs went numb, feeling as if she was being controlled by something, sitting on the ground unable to move.
"A corpse rising, a supernatural event! Just watching this makes me wet my pants."
"Oh my god... Is this for real! I'm so scared..."
"Turns out this job isn't that easy. No wonder they pay so much money a day. If it were me, I'd have run away long ago."
"Indeed, money isn't earned easily. Oh my heavens."
"Hey, look! That guy Lin Heng is actually going over!"
"Holy crap, what is this guy trying to do? He, he's actually touching it directly??"
"Can't you show a little respect to the female corpse??"
"..."
While everyone in the live stream was shocked and terrified, Lin Heng had already started.
For this kind of supernatural event, Lin Heng seemed completely unfazed, as if he saw it every day.
Lin Heng skillfully walked up to the female corpse, glanced at her condition, and simply tapped her lumbar muscles, shoulders, and spine.
It was a touch as light as a dragonfly skimming water, yet his strikes carried some weight.
The muffled thud could even be heard in the live stream.
After that, the female corpse's body seemed to melt, quickly becoming soft.
Then, under Lin Heng's hands, she softly lay back down.
Her eyes, which had been wide as bronze bells, quickly closed.
Good heavens!
The audience in the live stream instantly lost their composure.
"That solved it? I suddenly have the urge to say 'I could do that too.'"
Although the audience didn't fully understand, they were greatly shocked.
The audience in the live stream came from all walks of life, so naturally, there were those specializing in private services.
They stepped forward to offer an explanation.
"I remember now. This kind of corpse rising is entirely because the deceased might have suffered extreme fright or stimulation before death, causing the body's muscles to remain extremely rigid and tense. Under certain conditions, this might lead to stiff movements even after death."
"This woman might have experienced something before she died, so even though her body died, the tense muscles were still functioning. Just now, under Lin Heng's makeup application, it triggered some nerves that hadn't completely died, causing the muscles to contract, which resulted in this situation."
"But this is an extremely rare event, everyone doesn't need to worry."
"It's purely bad luck for Lin Heng."
After the explanation, everyone quickly felt relieved.
They thought it was a supernatural event of a corpse rising, but it turned out to be human anatomy.
"As expected, we must believe in science."
They felt relieved after the scare.
"But one thing is certain, this money is really hard to earn. I was thinking of trying it before, but forget it now. Never mind the corpse running away and having to carry it back, even if it just sat up, I'd probably have a heart attack from the fright."
"That's too terrifying."
"I heard that before officially starting the job, there is a series of fear tests. If you don't pass, you won't get the job, but most people fail."
Indeed, if you don't have the skill, don't take on the job.
"Wait a minute, how many times has Lin Heng done this to be so practiced?"
"Shouldn't the most shocking thing be his acupoint striking technique? Just watching it makes me hurt, yet Lin Heng seems completely unfazed."
"Well, that's obvious. He has superhuman physique... But if one doesn't have Lin Heng's exaggerated level of study into acupoints, it would be useless anyway."
"..."
The crowd buzzed with discussion.
Meanwhile, as Lin Heng placed the corpse down, he indeed felt like he had touched something, but he didn't make a sound. Instead, he quickly put down the corpse and prepared to complete the rest of the work.
Thus, the entire incident transitioned from a supernatural event at the beginning to a scientific explanation later on, startling everyone.
But fortunately, it ended without serious harm.
Su Xueer, in the live stream, also quickly understood the sequence of events based on everyone's explanations, letting out a slight sigh of relief.
However, she still looked shaken.
She swore she would never come to this place again.
On the other side.
Lin Heng continued applying makeup to the deceased.
His speed was fast; in just a moment, the pale faces of the corpses on the platform quickly gained color.
