Chapter 3 Funeral Practitioners(2/4)
She walked to the door and unlocked it, and Mo Jie stood outside with a solemn face.
He asked: "Is nothing wrong with you?"
Bai Qiuye responded honestly: "Can you talk to me if something happens to me?"
"" Mo Jie was speechless for a moment, "Forget it, come down first. We will open the envelope when the time is up."
Bai Qiuye nodded and walked downstairs with him.
Fu Yao breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Bai Qiuye: "You have to stay up there alone, but fortunately nothing happened."
"How do you know nothing happened?" Bai Qiuye said, "What if I am no longer me?"
The air in the living room froze for a moment.
Fu Yao laughed awkwardly twice to break the silence: "Haha, you really know how to joke."
Bai Qiuye thought she was not joking, these people were not cautious at all.
Mo Jie: "Let's look at the work content first."
He took out the envelope from his clothes and when he opened the seal, his fingers trembled.
【The first task

Work progress: 0/2]
Zhong Ying's face turned pale: "Bone cleaning isn't what I thought, is it?"
Bai Qiuye said quietly: "Maybe it is."
Mo Jie stood up decisively: "Time is running out, let's go directly."
Fu Yao asked: "What to do with the body?"
Liu He, who didn't talk much, said: "I'll guard it."
Hearing this, Bai Qiuye glanced at him one more time.
These people are very taboo about acting alone, but Liu He actually proposed it, which was a bit strange.
Mo Jie: "That's fine. If something happens, you can run directly to the village."
Liu He nodded indifferently.
Bai Qiuye glanced at him again and met his eyes.
Liu He had no expression on his face, looked away calmly, and continued to say nothing.
09 asked in Bai Qiuye's mind.
[You pay attention to him.]
[Do you want to cooperate with him?]
"I think he has a conspiracy." Bai Qiuye replied.
[]
The reason why she paid attention to Liu He was not for this reason.
Liu He gave her a very familiar feeling, but it was also very inconsistent.
She could see the shadow of another person in Liu He, but she couldn't even tell who it was.
The village was completely dark, there were no street lights, and only the cold moon shining through the fog illuminated the streets.
The surrounding buildings are illuminated with a bluish light, and the tiles occasionally refract, like eyes that open and close.
There is a thin but impenetrable fog in the distance, moving slowly when the wind blows, as if a hundred ghosts are swimming in the night.
They didn't hear a sound along the way, and the whole village fell into dead silence.
The village entrance in the terminal prompt is not difficult to find, because the village is not big, there is a main road out of the village, and you can see through it at a glance.
The red house where Master Wang lives is also very obvious, as he is the only one in the whole village with red paint on the walls.
"This house——" The man with the hairband stopped talking.
It was like tearing out a wound with red flesh flying out of the darkness, revealing something weird and strange.
Mo Jie: "Let's go."
All the other houses in the village were tightly closed, but the door of Master Wang's house was actually ajar, as if it was ready to welcome them.
Suddenly, a small figure jumped out from behind the house and ran in front of them, startling Mo Jie and the other four.
The child had a big head, but his body looked malnourished. He was holding a bloody toad in his hand and was squeezing it around.
She said word by word: "I want a baby."
Mo Jie and others were stunned.
what's the situation.
Bai Qiuye took it for granted and took out a fruit candy from his pocket and handed it to the child.
She said: "I don't have a doll, but I can treat you to a candy."
The child took the candy, smiled and ran away from them.
Zhong Ying looked at the child's back: "Is this a human being?"
"It should be." Mo Jie said and looked at Bai Qiuye, "Why do you carry candy with you?"
Bai Qiuye: "I got it from the second floor of Widow Du's house."
Mo Jie and others recalled that there were indeed candies in the bedroom on the second floor.
But do normal people dare to take it?
But considering that this level 1 rookie also ate persimmons, just taking a candy didn't seem like a big deal.
For a moment, several people were speechless.
At this time, a slightly hoarse voice came from inside the ajar door.
"You're already here, why don't you come in?"
Mo Jie hesitated and pushed the door open. The rich smell of inferior cosmetics filled the whole room, making everyone cough.
I saw a large two-meter-long table deep in the room, filled with various paints, cosmetics, and pieces of paper. In addition, there were some scattered needlework and scissors.
A man with a slender build and a face as smooth as a loofah was expressionlessly holding a makeup brush stained with lipstick and tracing on a head in front of him. There were broken black hair all over the place, making it hard to place where he wanted to go.
.
The man with the hair tie was so frightened that he almost ran away from the door, but Mo Jie grabbed him.
"You see clearly."
The man with the hairband took a closer look and realized that the head was a fake. Its face was painted with white powder and bright red lipstick, making it funny and terrifying.
Dry Loofah put the makeup brush on the table: "Are you the ones Widow Du invited?"
Mo Jie: "Are you Master Wang?"
The other party nodded and stood up from behind the table: "What do you need from me -"
Mo Jie: "We are going to wash the bones."
Master Wang pointed to the room inside coldly: "Go in."
They followed Master Wang's instructions and looked over. What was connected was a square room, like an airtight box.
It is obviously a gray cement wall, but at first glance, red and orange are the main colors of the entire room. Because there are many yellow talisman papers pasted on the wall, and there are also strange patterns drawn with cinnabar on the wall.
These things covered the entire wall, as if they were suppressing something extremely terrifying.
The air was filled with the smell of burning incense, which together with the talisman paper and cinnabar formed a hazy atmosphere.
On the wall facing the door, there is a flower picture with a black lotus painted on it.
The flower, which should be subtle, blooms too openly in this picture, with petals hanging out and claws making people feel uneasy.
A table was set up at the door to block their way in. There were three bowls of white rice on the table, and unburned incense was placed next to it.
Zhong Ying pointed to a rope: "What is this?"
Everyone looked up together with her, and saw densely packed boning knives hanging above their heads. The tips of these boning knives were still stained with dried and blackened blood, and the handles of the knives were connected to the ceiling by ropes. They looked shaky, as if they were falling.
It will fall down in a second and punch them out of the hole.
The other end of the line hung down, like a dry tree beard, swaying above their heads with a dying breath.
