Chapter 34 Chapter Thirty-Three The Most Critical Two Words

When Wan Sui'er got home, it was already past three o'clock in the morning. Dad didn't sleep, he was surfing the Internet. As soon as Wan Sui'er entered the door, she said, "Dad, are you chatting with female netizens again?" Dad stood up and said, "I'm waiting for you!" Wan Sui'er said, "Didn't I call you?" Dad said: "There have been so many bad things recently, can I not worry!" Wan Sui'er said, "Don't worry, I have friends." Dad was still worried: "Tell me, did you really dig up the money? Now, I can't sleep when I think of that lockbox."

Wan Sui'er said: "I really dug it up. It's not legal for me to swallow the money, but it's not illegal either." Dad said: "I don't understand even more." Wan Sui'er said: "Now, you and I are the joint owners of the money. Let's discuss whether to hand it over to the public? Anyway, I don't want it anymore." Dad thought for a while and said, "That's how I feel at ease. It's just...it's a pity." Wan Sui'er said: "Look, you are reluctant!" Dad said: "Why don't you hand over the money to the company and leave me the lockbox?"

Wan Sui'er said, "Dad, aren't you obscene?" The next day was gloomy and stormy. Wan Sui'er invited Gao Xuan to the house, and showed him the DVD of the Eighteen Levels of Hell.When those bloody pictures appeared on the TV, Gao Xuan seemed to have no reaction, he bowed his waist, his eyes fixed on those pictures like awls. After the broadcast, he didn't speak for a long time. Wan Sui'er said: "I have watched this CD repeatedly, and I always have a feeling that these people are not dead souls..." Gao Xuan turned to look at her: "What do you mean?"

Wan Sui'er said: "Do you think this place looks like the underworld? I think it's more like...a hell on earth." Gao Xuan said, "You mean man-made?" Wan Sui'er nodded, then shook her head - how much money should a person who can build such a hell have!Bill Gates is about the same; what a cruel heart!Hitler was about the same; what a marvelous imagination!Stephen King is more or less the same.She said: "If it is man-made, it can only be aliens." Gao Xuan stopped talking and stared at the TV, but in fact there was nothing on the screen. Wan Sui'er said: "The most important thing is that there is one thing that cannot be explained - those people are really dead!"

Gao Xuan suddenly said: "Fake death." Wan Sui'er was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Gao Xuan meant, but these two words exploded in her head like a bolt from the blue.She suddenly remembered Teacher Zhou's words. After her husband died, she once saw his leather shoes move. Could it be... Isn't that an illusion? She asked blankly: "You mean, those people who died suddenly recently were...fake deaths?" Gao Xuan nodded. Wan Sui'er thought for a while and said, "Fake death should be a very special situation, it's impossible for so many people to fake death!"

Gao Xuan didn't speak again. Wan Sui'er continued: "Even if it's a fake death, if they are all pushed into the cremation furnace, it will become a real death!" Gao Xuan looked at Wan Sui'er, his eyes suddenly flashed a strange light: "The problem lies in the crematorium!" Wan Sui'er was stunned: "The crematorium is a unit of the Civil Affairs Bureau, what's the problem?" Gao Xuan said, "Where is hell in Buddhism?" Wan Sui'er said: "Hell." Gao Xuan said: "The mountain is surrounded by big iron." Wan Sui'er shook her head: "I don't know."

Gao Xuan said: "The Acropolis Crematorium is located in Tiewei Township, Dashan Village. Putting it all together, it is Datiewei Mountain. The hell in the CD is probably there! Of course, maybe these are just coincidences..." Wan Sui'er thought for a while, and suddenly said, "It's not a coincidence!" In the afternoon, Wan Sui'er and Gao Xuan took a taxi and went straight to the funeral home. It was still cloudy and there were very few people on the street.The driver seemed to be a very careful person, and he drove very, very slowly. Both Wan Sui'er and Gao Xuan sat in the back seat.

Wan Sui'er said, "I trust you completely now." Gao Xuan said, "Have you ever doubted me?" Wan Sui'er said, "Yes." Gao Xuan said, "Why?" Wan Sui'er said: "First, Youyou always thinks that someone controls her brain, and you just study the brain; second, a lot of strange things have happened in the Acropolis recently, and you just appeared at this time; third, Your identity and your family background are so different that no matter how you explain it, it is inexplicable - so I suspected that you were one of them." Gao Xuan said flatly, "I am one of them."

Wan Sui'er's eyes widened: "Are you...are you joking?" Gao Xuan smiled, turned his head out of the car window, and said nothing more. The sky was getting more and more cloudy, and the rain did not fall. Next to it is a field, and there are many black birds flying around in the mid-air, as if they are preparing for some ceremony. Wan Sui'er wished to fly to the crematorium immediately. She was both excited and nervous at the moment, if it was really what Gao Xuan said, then Langma probably didn't die! finally reached. There are very few people in the funeral home compound, and it is easy to distinguish which are employees and which are bereaved households.Every family member's face is sad, tired and solemn.And the staff were busy with their own affairs, and no emotion could be seen from their faces.

Wreaths, flower baskets and elegiac couplets were placed outside the memorial building.A plaque hangs high, with the words "Send off XX".A black gauze hangs under the plaque, motionless.In the hall, accompanied by Beethoven's symphony "Pathetique", men, women and children cried together. In the front is the cold storage room, which has a row of tall stainless steel cold storage cabinets, storing unowned corpses and controversial corpses. They lie quietly in the cold storage cabinets, waiting for someone to claim or judge. Opposite is the beauty room, a middle-aged woman in a blue uniform and a blue mask is concentrating on her work.A middle-aged female corpse was lying flat on the bed with half of her head missing. The living middle-aged woman was painting the lips of the dead middle-aged woman.

Going forward is the cremation workshop, where there are twelve cremation furnaces and twelve ashes collection furnaces.The second floor is the farewell viewing room, where family members can watch the whole process of their loved ones being burned. At the end is the silent Qiangu Hall, which has 10,000 compartments, neatly placed large and small urns, some made of jade, some made of wood, with paintings of landscapes, humanities, myths, auspicious animals, etc. , looks extremely odd. Wan Sui'er and Gao Xuan wandered slowly in the funeral parlor, going deeper and deeper. Although Wan Sui'er had never seen another funeral home, she felt that everything was normal here, with only the air of death, not ghosts. Gao Xuan stopped beside the cremation workshop and looked up. A big chimney, definitely more than 100 meters.Wan Sui'er also watched with him, and felt dizzy after watching for a while.Gao Xuan kept looking up at it, not speaking. Wan Sui'er asked, "What are you looking at?" Gao Xuan said, "Don't you think this chimney is a bit strange?" Wan Sui'er said, "Don't all crematoriums have chimneys like this?" Gao Xuan said: "Yesterday, I checked on the Internet. The cremation equipment of this funeral home has been upgraded long ago. The smoke from burning corpses is discharged into the air from underground pipes. Most of them are water vapor, and the black is basically invisible to naked eyes." Smoke. It stands to reason that this big chimney has no value in existence, why is it not demolished?" Wan Sui'er said: "If you want to demolish such a tall building, you have to blast it. Maybe they don't have the conditions for the time being." Gao Xuan said again: "Did you find out? There is one thing missing from this chimney." Wan Sui'er asked, "What?" Gao Xuan said, "Climb the ladder." Wan Sui'er walked around it, and felt really scared-there is no ladder on the outside of this big chimney!How could such a tall chimney be built without a ladder! At this moment, someone suddenly spoke from behind: "What are you looking at?" Wan Sui'er turned her head suddenly, and saw a man in a blue uniform and a blue mask, most of his face was covered, his eyes were full of hostility, as if he had found a thief in his own kitchen. Wan Sui'er was a little flustered, and said falteringly, "We're here to find someone..." The other party asked aggressively, "Who are you looking for?" Wan Sui'er couldn't think of any name for a moment, so she said, "Langma." The other party blinked: "Langma?" Wan Sui'er whispered uncertainly, "Yes, Langma..." The other party said, "Isn't he dead?" Wan Sui'er's heart sank, how did he know Langma was dead?Even if he is the cremator of the funeral home and burns so many corpses every day, how could he remember the name Langma?That's just the name of a corpse! Gao Xuan looked away from the sky, and said slowly: "What if he is not dead?" The man said, "What do you mean?" Gao Xuan smiled at him, took Wan Sui'er's arm, and whispered, "Let's go." Wan Sui'er quickly followed Gao Xuan and left.When passing by that person, Wan Sui'er felt a gloomy cold air. After the two walked a long way, Wan Sui'er looked back, and the man was still looking at them from the chimney.
