The corpse is fake! There is a ghost!

Lin Yuan apologized, his face filled with lingering fear.

Although he didn't believe in these things, he still maintained a respectful attitude.

Looking at the jars in the compartments above the cabinet, Lin Yuan asked in confusion, "Are these all ashes?"

The Girl smiled and nodded while trimming the deceased's nails, "Yes, they are."

"Ah?" Lin Yuan was startled. "How did the ashes end up in the makeup room? Shouldn't they be stored in a special place?"

"Yes, but that's under normal circumstances," the Girl explained calmly. "You might not know, but this crematorium is actually privately contracted and has been for many years. So, it's quite small and rundown, and not many people come here for cremation usually."

"With no orders, there are naturally fewer employees. These are all the ashes stored here, and they've been unclaimed for a long time. If we were to find someone specifically responsible, it would be another expense."

"So, we just keep them here. Anyway, no one usually comes in."

After hearing the explanation, Lin Yuan nodded thoughtfully.

The Photographer, who had been silent all this time, asked curiously, "There are private crematoriums? Shouldn't they all belong to the Government?"

The Girl smiled and shook her head, "No, they're not."

"Firstly, the law doesn't explicitly state that private crematoriums cannot be established. In fact, it even encourages private contracting, but cremation services can generally only be handled by the Government."

"However, this industry is very complex. There are actually many crematoriums, especially those with cremation services, more than you can imagine. Some private crematoriums have even gone public. You can search online when you have time."

At these words, Lin Yuan and the Photographer were both shocked.

It was the first time they had heard that crematoriums could be privately owned.

And even go public?

If they could contract this business, wouldn't it be easy to get rich? It's a necessity!

Netizens in the live stream were also stunned when they heard their conversation.

"Popularity" +1+1+1+1

--- [Holy moly, I feel like I just heard something incredible. If private individuals can open crematoriums and include cremation, won't there be any illegal activities?]

--- [You're easily surprised. Several crematoriums here are all private. If you search for the names of those crematoriums online, you'll find that many are privately owned. But you also won't know how to open a crematorium with cremation services, because this isn't an industry you can just start by registering a company. Too many things are involved.]

--- [Really? I'm tempted to contract one too. The crematorium business here is incredibly good; there's a queue every day. Those urns cost dozens, but sell for tens of thousands. The profit is terrifying.]

--- [You're thinking too much. Not to mention whether you have the connections, do you know how much it costs to open a crematorium? If you can't come up with 10 or 20 million, don't even dream about it. At least 300 to 500 million! The area of a crematorium alone is terrifying, and doing this kind of business also involves regional competition. You need people in both the underworld and the legitimate world, but the net profit for a year could be a small fortune.]

The Girl couldn't help but laugh at the shocked expressions of Lin Yuan and the other person.

"What's wrong? Did it overturn your imagination?"

"What if I tell you that this crematorium is also an organ donation organization? Would you be even more surprised?"

She truly wouldn't stop until she shocked someone to death.

Lin Yuan was indeed surprised.

He wasn't surprised by the organization, but by the boss's connections.

How much power must someone have to contract a crematorium and also obtain approval for an organ donation organization?

At least Lin Yuan couldn't do it; he didn't even know how to begin.

After regaining his composure, Lin Yuan looked at the Girl who was focused on her work.

Her work was nearing completion, and he could wait for her to finish before introducing the house.

He didn't want to watch the blood draw, and there was nothing else to explore in the room, so he felt a bit bored.

Suddenly, he thought about the house he sold today and wondered how many points he had now. Perhaps he could try a lottery draw to pass the time.

The next second, a virtual blue frame, visible only to him, appeared before Lin Yuan's eyes.

Host: Lin Yuan

Points: 20141

Skills: Sign Language, Suona, Sommelier, Singing

Note: Consuming 10,000 points allows for one lottery draw.

This...

His points had actually exceeded 20,000 again.

Didn't that mean he could draw twice?

With an excited heart, he thought, "System Lottery!"

"Ding~~ Congratulations to the host for consuming 10,000 points and drawing the skill — Forensic doctors!"

"Ding~~ Congratulations to the host for consuming 10,000 points and drawing the skill — Eighteen Drifts of Fish Subduing!"

Lin Yuan couldn't help but click his tongue as he looked at the two new skills on the system panel.

Forensic doctors, that seemed pretty good.

But what in the world was the Eighteen Drifts of Fish Subduing?

For fishing?

Looking at the skill descriptions, things like 'Flying Limitless Drift' and 'One Drift Opens Heavenly Gate' – what was all this about?

Although he also enjoyed fishing, he had never heard of these.

While he was in a daze, the Girl had already finished trimming the nails and was now shaving the deceased's beard.

Today was her easiest day at work; having a living person accompany her and chat in the middle of the night felt truly wonderful.

However, as expected, an accident occurred.

As the saying goes, extreme joy begets sorrow, and complacency leads to carelessness.

People often overlook potential risks when they are happy.

The Girl accidentally got distracted and nicked a piece of skin on the deceased's face while shaving.

She let out a gasp on the spot: "Oh dear~~"

In an instant, the almost coagulated blood from the deceased's wound slowly began to seep out.

The Girl was startled and panicked. She quickly stood up, bowed, and pressed her palms together towards the deceased.

She kept muttering, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry! I didn't mean to!"

But no sooner had she finished speaking...

Zzzzzzz~~

A sound of electric current rang out.

The incandescent light on the ceiling suddenly began to flicker, alternating between bright and dim.

At this moment, the Girl was terrified, her pupils dilated, and her whole body was as if struck by lightning, completely frozen in place, unable to move.

Lin Yuan was equally stunned by this sudden anomaly.

Looking at the flickering lights in the room, the atmosphere instantly became incredibly eerie, as if they were in a terrifying ghost movie scene.

The Photographer was so scared that he started shivering, huddling close to Lin Yuan and stammering, "Bro...what's going on? There isn't really a ghost, is there? Did he...did he get angry because he bled from the shave?"

Lin Yuan tried hard to suppress the fear in his heart, staring intently at the deceased on the bed, afraid that he would suddenly get up and settle scores with them.

This state lasted for several seconds, and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense.

The incandescent light above gradually dimmed, and the buzzing sound of the current became more piercing.

Just then!

The Photographer seemed to see something indescribably terrifying.

His pupils dilated sharply, his mouth involuntarily opened, his eyes seemed to be bulging out, and his right hand trembled as he pointed forward, his voice hoarse with excitement: "Brother...look quickly!!! Beside, look beside us!!! The body next to us sat up!!!"

Lin Yuan's mind buzzed at the words, and his thoughts became a chaotic mess.

Following the direction of the finger, he immediately gasped sharply.

He saw a woman with long hair draped over her shoulders, her face and clothes covered in blood, slowly sitting up.

The reason he said 'woman' was because her long hair completely covered her entire face.

Coupled with the flickering lights, it was truly chilling!

At this moment, the Girl beside him also reacted and turned to look behind her.

It wasn't a problem not to look, but once she did!!

She screamed repeatedly on the spot, her voice echoing throughout the entire room.

"Ah~~ A ghost!!!"

She rushed towards Lin Yuan recklessly, crashing into his embrace, holding him tightly, her body trembling violently, her head buried in his chest.
