SWDnovel Chapter 228 Black Haired Corpse
Chapter 228 Black Haired Corpse
"Five black-haired men will not stay overnight. At dawn, each will have a tael of silver."
The centurion, the soldier in charge of the escort, said a word with a stern face, and with a wave of his hand, the soldiers lifted off the shroud one after another, and put the five corpses on the crematorium with iron forks.
The corpses were all gray, with horrible black lines covering all the places where the skin could be seen. At first glance, it looked like the corpses were cracked.
And all of them were bound with iron ropes as thick as thumbs, and the corpse-repelling charms were attached to the limbs, head, and forehead, and glutinous rice was stuffed in the mouth.
After lifting it into the furnace, the soldiers locked the iron chain on the thousand-jin stone half buried in the soil under the crematorium.
The thousand-jin rocks were crooked, and one of them had even been completely detached from the soil layer. The lock was scarred, twisted, deformed, and cracked, which was shocking.
Two of the three cremators were young and one was middle-aged. The older middle-aged man swallowed and said, "My lord, there are two more corpses tonight. I'm afraid... I'm afraid it's..."
"Afraid of what?"
The centurion's expression turned cold, and he waved his hands impatiently: "Isn't it more if you have two more silver coins? It used to be five coins, but today it is one or two silver. Don't talk nonsense, the corpse cannot be left overnight."
The faces of the three cremators turned paler. Although none of them were experienced cremators, but "newcomers", they also understood that the more corpses there were, the heavier the sinister aura, and the greater the probability of corpse transformation. .
Four days ago, they were forced to come to Linqing. After two days of simple teaching, they came to work in this crematorium. The first wave of corpses burned was actually the previous cremator here.
Everything was terrible, and the tragedy has caused the three of them to have nightmares again and again.
They have no way of knowing how long their predecessor has stayed here, because no one will tell them this. At this moment, the Linqing Crematorium has become a prison, and they are not allowed to enter or leave.
The "salary" of five renminbi a day, as long as anyone with a normal mind can understand that this is money for life.
One day is a gate of hell.
If you make it through, you will receive a sum of money that you can't spend at all.
They didn't make it through, and soon a new cremator came to burn their bodies and take over the post by the way.
Going round and round, no one knows when the end will be.
The five corpses came on stage together, which explained two things.
One, the corpse chaos in Linqing City is getting worse.
Two, tonight is likely to be the last night for the trio.
"Boom~"
The big iron door of the crematorium was closed.
Unlike the crematorium in Kyoto, the crematorium in Linqing is a large public room where the cremators burn the corpses together.
"Second Uncle, what should we do?" A young man asked tremblingly.
The three of them were uncles and nephews, and they were forcibly conscripted as civilian husbands on the way to escape. Later, they met a strange alchemist.
Today is the third day for the three of them to become cremators.
The middle-aged cremator also had no masters, so he could only hold on and said: "Don't be afraid, you two are full of blood and can hold back."
After a pause, he said again: "Let's hurry up today, work harder, and incinerate the corpse as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams."
When the two young people heard this, they found a little support.
So get busy.
The corpses were mutilated and all were bitten to death.
Routine corpse cleansing must be quite troublesome, but in this case, it doesn't matter whether the corpse is mended or not.
If there are too many lice, you will not be afraid of itchiness, and if you have too many debts, you will not worry.
Just brush a layer of lime slurry and get it done.
Adding coal and pouring oil, ready to light the fire, the middle-aged man blows on the fire, with a dignified expression.
The suppressed corpse will have a final "death" struggle before being cremated, and the ferocity will be fully aroused.
More than half of the dead bodies will rise at the moment of ignition.
This is a gate of hell.
"Ho ho ho ho ~~"
But at this moment, a corpse suddenly let out a howl and began to shake.
"Ah~"
"Second uncle!"
The two young men screamed in fright, and instinctively hid behind the middle-aged cremator.
The middle-aged cremator was also shaking like a sieve, all the torches fell to the ground, and the three of them backed away.
Before lighting it up, it turned into a dead body!
fierce!
"Wow~"
Soon the body changed from trembling to being completely dead, and the iron chain was tightened violently, making a whirring sound.
A terrifying scene appeared. The gray and cracked corpse quickly grew black hair, and the sharp palms turned into claws.
The most frightening thing was the change in the head. The mandible groaned and grew rapidly. A mouthful of criss-crossed black corpse teeth grew out. The face was cracked, and the articulate teeth extended directly to the roots behind the ears.
It was a gap!
At the same time, the back of the corpse quickly bent, and many bone spurs grew out, and the bloody eyes were scarlet.
This corpse is not a human corpse, it is clearly a humanoid black-haired corpse!
"Quack quack..."
What the corpse made was not a roar, but a sound of bones and sticks clashing, like a rattlesnake wagging its tail. The corpse-like aura that evaporated up instantly ignited the corpse-suppressing talisman, and quickly turned to ashes together with the glutinous rice at the mouth of the town.
It frantically pulled the iron chain, which clanked and sparked.
The terrifying power is shocking, and the lock attached to the jackstone stretches and deforms under the horrified eyes of the cremator.
"Boom!"
An iron cable couldn't hold it up and broke first.
The black-haired monster sat up in an instant, and the "quack" sound became more urgent.
"Boom! Boom!"
Immediately afterwards, two more chains snapped.
"Help~"
"Help!~!"
The three of them couldn't hold back any longer and completely collapsed.
A buttock was sitting on the ground, and he crawled to the iron gate frantically beating for help.
Outside the iron gate, the centurion on duty looked gloomy, turned his head and hastily said to his opponent: "Quickly invite Guanzhu Yuanqing."
"Yes!"
A pawn slammed his horse away at the sound.
"Ah~~!"
Just as the pawns left, there was a scream from inside the cremation room.
"Crackling ~"
That was the sound of the black-haired monster gnawing on the corpse.
There are also two other cremators crying and howling.
The centurion was unmoved, as if he hadn't heard it at all.
This is the order of the cremator.
There are tens of thousands of corpses in the world, and it is impossible for all corpses to be transported thousands of miles to the crematorium or even the capital for further processing. No dynasty can afford such expenses.
The meaning of the cremator's existence is to burn the corpses while using his life to identify which corpses need further processing.
As far as the moment is concerned, after the black-haired corpse devours the flesh and blood of the cremator, its viciousness will decrease a little.
When the master Yuanqing came, he would be more sure of restraining the corpse.
As for the cremator inside.
The most indispensable thing in troubled times is people; the least valuable thing is human life.
Without overnight, the new cremator can start working immediately.
