52: Chapter 52 This bed is not clean
An hour or two passed, and Lin Heng finished tidying up everything for the platform's people.
Hoo...
"It's a bit faster than I imagined."
Lin Heng let out a long breath.
He turned his head and glanced at Su Xueer, whose face was already pale with fright.
It was already two or three in the morning; most people would be extremely sleepy, but Su Xueer was only slightly more alert due to her extreme psychological fear.
"There's basically nothing else to do now. Why don't you go rest for a bit? There's a small bed over there."
Lin Heng said casually.
Su Xueer was already utterly exhausted. She figured it was time to rest.
Since there was nothing going on, she nodded and quickly turned away, no longer looking at the few corpses on the platform.
Although these people looked no different from others on the surface, Su Xueer knew that this was all due to Lin Heng's makeup skills.
In reality, these people were all corpses before!
Cold, icy corpses!
Thinking of this, Su Xueer shivered and quickly walked forward.
She didn't want to stay here for a single second longer.
Soon, Su Xueer saw Lin Heng walking ahead, bringing over a single cot.
When he opened it, the sheet on the bed was snow white.
But for some reason, there seemed to be a slight grayish tint to it, which looked a bit eerie.
Especially under the current circumstances, Su Xueer felt even more that this thing was not simple.
She was supposed to be tracking and filming Lin Heng, but unexpectedly, she got a 'Morgue Experience Card' instead.
It was like walking directly into the world of the dead!
Ahead, Lin Heng had already prepared the single cot and gestured for Su Xueer to lie down on it.
However...
The audience in the livestream room vaguely sensed that something was not quite right...
Why was Lin Heng's movement so practiced?
It gave people a chilling feeling.
At this moment, Su Xueer was also completely fatigued. Her body had only just recovered slightly, and she clearly couldn't handle any more stimulation.
She just wanted to rest comfortably now.
Without overthinking, she quickly lay down.
"Hmm? Why are you taking off your clothes? Where is the blanket? I see the blanket over there."
"Go help me get it..."
Su Xueer saw Lin Heng taking off his own clothes to cover her with them.
She didn't quite understand.
But soon, a sentence from Lin Heng made her spine tingle slightly.
"That blanket is for private use; it has a bit too much cold energy."
That was lucky...
It was fortunate that Lin Heng hadn't covered her with that blanket just now.
Otherwise, she didn't know how she would react upon learning the truth.
Meanwhile, the livestream chat exploded.
"Good heavens...! If that blanket isn't for living people, is that bed even a bed for living people?"
"Oh my god! Bro, are you trying to scare the Streamer to death with this kind of shock?"
"I know this one! Usually, no one comes down to the morgue area except for the guards watching the bodies, and they might sit for a bit. But to prevent them from sleeping and neglecting their duties, this place generally isn't equipped with beds; at most, they provide a chair."
"Hiss...! Holy crap?! Is it really that exaggerated?!"
"I don't know, but it's better not to try it lightly. Otherwise, I don't know what bad consequences might arise."
"This Lin Heng is truly ruthless, letting the Streamer sleep on a bed like that."
"But there was no other choice! And Lin Heng has already done well enough; he even gave the Streamer his own clothes. Don't you know how cold it is here!"
"..."
The crowd buzzed with discussion.
But what the others didn't know was that the bed Lin Heng gave Su Xueer was a clean one, meant for him to lie on when he was tired.
It was just that the others were unaware.
It was also something specially arranged for Lin Heng by the medical staff because he often worked part-time here.
They were quite trusting of Lin Heng.
Of course, the job of a death makeup artist was also quite tiring.
Don't think it's just applying makeup to others; the entire process is extremely exhausting, requiring Lin Heng to occasionally help turn the person's head.
There were also many details that were completely different from applying makeup to the living.
Moreover, many corpses had stiff muscles, requiring considerable strength.
It was true that one couldn't do this job without some real skill.
No wonder the fee was so high.
However, someone like Lin Heng was considered top-tier. Others charged thousands per person, but Lin Heng charged several thousand for the entire job.
Keep in mind that with so many corpses here, the average price per body was only a few hundred yuan.
Sometimes even just one or two hundred yuan.
Even a slightly higher-grade makeup artist wouldn't charge this price.
Let alone doing makeup for the dead!
When everyone learned this situation, their mouths twitched.
Good heavens!
Lin Heng had single-handedly ruined the livelihoods of all of them...
They had seen competition drive prices down by half, but they had never seen someone drive the price down to zero!
What was the difference between this and letting Lin Heng look at the corpse and giving him makeup for free??
Isn't this too competitive?
Some people in related industries in the livestream chat were left speechless and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
They were all worried that Lin Heng might ruin their own livelihoods.
...
On the other side, Lin Heng had already finished applying makeup to the corpses and was now free.
Su Xueer glanced at Lin Heng, who was only wearing a single layer of clothing beside her, and her heart stirred slightly.
She pursed her lips.
"Um... Lin Heng, aren't you cold?"
"Me? I'm fine!"
"This little bit of temperature is nothing to me."
Lin Heng waved his hand.
Upon hearing this, Su Xueer's expression changed slightly.
Her face quickly flushed.
"Um, what I mean is, I'm a bit scared. Can you stay with me? It would be best if you could stay closer to me; I'm scared."
"Am I not staying with you? I'm right next to you, how much closer do you want?"
Lin Heng was sitting right beside Su Xueer at this moment.
Facing Su Xueer's question, Lin Heng raised an eyebrow, wondering where his logic was going wrong?
Judging by Su Xueer's look, she seemed very confused by Lin Heng's behavior?
At this time, the audience in the livestream room burst into laughter.
"Hahaha... Could Lin Heng be a complete blockhead? The Streamer is hinting like this, but he doesn't understand what Su Xueer means at all..."
"Aww, Lin Heng is so cute!"
"Huh? Holy crap, the Streamer is being so proactive today? Is she planning to take Lin Heng right here?"
"Will the upcoming content be free for us to watch?"
"..."
However, what these people didn't know was that Su Xueer was simply scared!
What kind of feeling could one have in this morgue!!
Without thinking further, she directly grabbed Lin Heng and dragged him onto the cot.
