Chapter 377: Chapter 344: The Large Face Outside the Window

It was just too disgusting, I can only say, this thing couldn’t eat itself up even a little bit.

Even if it’s beautiful, it can’t hide the fact that she is a corpse, right?

Outside the door, Jiang Xiao shook his head helplessly, respecting other people’s hobbies. He was just a pitiful and helpless small employee, how could he afford to meddle in these idle matters?

Just as he was about to leave, a terrifying scream suddenly burst out from the room.

Then, the curator ran out without even pulling up his pants, followed closely by a scrambling Bao Lebin.

"Shit! Ptooey!"

The curator seemed to be a bit unsettled, spitting on the ground.

As for Bao Lebin, he had already wet himself...

"Hmm? You guys finished so quickly? Are you a ’quick shot’?"

Jiang Xiao asked curiously.

"No! No, bro! She’s..."

"Cough! Employee code of conduct!"

Bao Lebin’s unfinished words were rebuffed by the curator, who just nonchalantly stood up, pulled up his pants, and stepped aside.

"Uh, cough, that was just a test for you as a new employee. As the curator, how could I ever disrespect a corpse? Obviously, Brother Jiang Xiao has already passed our new recruit assessment."

Jiang Xiao: ....

Although he wasn’t too smart, who could be fooled by the curator’s nonsense?

Seeing Jiang Xiao’s disbelief, the curator frowned and patiently explained.

"Hey, you are new here, you might not understand. You know, in our line of work, people often get inappropriate thoughts about corpses. What I did earlier was simply to test you out. You surely don’t think that’s really my nature, do you?"

Whether Jiang Xiao believed him or not, the curator didn’t bother to explain further, and simply ordered them to quickly handle the woman’s body, as there was an urgency to cremate.

"What?"

Bao Lebin was shocked.

"What ’what’? Are you doing it or not? If not, get lost!"

"I’ll do it, I’ll do it..."

Bao Lebin weakly said, utterly subdued by the curator’s power.

Jiang Xiao sighed helplessly, not understanding why these two could be so different before and after.

"What were you howling about inside just now?"

After the curator left, Jiang Xiao curiously asked Bao Lebin, who still looked pale and shaken.

But the latter did not want to say much, simply shaking his head, indicating that he had accidentally bitten his tongue, which caused the scream.

That made sense, Jiang Xiao believed him. After all, he had always been a trusting soul, and that was well known to all.

"Bro, I’m going to the restroom first!"

After saying that, Bao Lebin skedaddled, not looking back as he made a beeline for the bathroom.

Ah~

The young people these days, they’re just too impatient. Can’t they hold it in for something as simple as taking a leak?

Thinking it over, Jiang Xiao went into the room by himself.

It wasn’t tiring work anyway, and since the female corpse was so beautiful, it wouldn’t be too bad. He’d just help her get dressed.

Hmm?

Just walking into the room, Jiang Xiao immediately smelled a familiar scent he knew all too well.

The unique aroma of something eerie...

But that clearly didn’t stop his steps.

The female corpse...

No changes, quietly lying on the floor, everything as normal.

Contrary to what Jiang Xiao had initially imagined, he thought something had changed with the female corpse that had scared those two to weakness.

’Tap tap tap~’

An abrupt tapping on the glass drew Jiang Xiao’s gaze upward.

There, against the backdrop of the night, something indistinct but seemingly a human face floated outside the window. When it noticed Jiang Xiao looking, it cracked a smile, revealing ghastly white, sharp teeth.

What is this?

But because it was so dark outside, the curious Jiang Xiao could only head straight to the window and open it to get a closer look.

’Ga~ ga ga ga...’

The long-neglected window let out a grating, enamel-souring creak.

Emm....

And just like that, the two faces came face to face with each other.

Jiang Xiao curiously examined the thing outside the window, or more accurately, the person... if nothing unexpected, it was a person, right?

The only thing was that from the neck down, they wore pure black clothing, which meant that against the backdrop of the dark night, looking out from the inside, all one could see was a floating face.

The expression on the face outside was much more colorful than Jiang Xiao’s, filled with shock and disbelief, and there seemed to be a hint of embarrassment.

No way, man?

You’re not even a little scared?

This is a funeral home, you know?

What you’re seeing is a floating, pale ghost face, how could you have the guts to just open the window like that?

Most of all, your expression is like you don’t take me seriously at all?

Mocking me?

Is he mocking me?

"Pfft~"

Seemingly confirming the ghost face’s guess, Jiang Xiao indeed couldn’t hold it in any longer and let out a laugh.

Mainly because the other’s makeup was just too ridiculous, like the ghost dolls in the movies of Lin Zhengying.

Their face was painted white, lips a bright red, but it was the vibrant rouge on their cheeks that really was too much for the eyes.

In summary: hard not to laugh.

"Hey, are you the kid who just scared the crew-cut into screaming himself weak?"

"Hmph!"

The unrecognizable person gave Jiang Xiao a fierce glare, then turned and ran off without looking back.

Huh?

Just left without saying a word?

It was already dark now, and out in the suburbs, too. Since Jiang Xiao hadn’t seen any buildings nearby when he was outside earlier, not to mention the dangers of the night in the Kaidan world, where does he live?

He wasn’t sure if the strange smell was coming from the ghost face or... Jiang Xiao glanced at the female corpse.

Forget it. Respect for the dead.

Bao Lebin was late in returning, so Jiang Xiao dressed the female corpse in her clothes.

As soon as he finished, his ill-fated colleague came back, standing outside calling him to dinner.

When the crew-cut saw that Jiang Xiao had dressed the female corpse, he seemed quite shocked, as if he wanted to say something but didn’t dare to ask.

"Uh, Jiang Xiao bro, you just dressed her?"

"What else? You went to pee and never came back until you were dried out. We couldn’t just leave the girl lying here undressed, could we?"

Jiang Xiao was somewhat dissatisfied, not only with Bao Lebin, but also with the director who was quite irresponsible.

Regardless of what had just happened, the least you could do is dress the deceased before running off, show some manners.

In summary: Not professional enough.

As a regular employee at the funeral home, even his courage wasn’t as big as Jiang Xiao’s, who was as timid as a mouse.

Usually, when there’s nothing too pressing, the funeral home staff eat together.

At the dinner table, Jiang Xiao spotted the most formidable figure listed in the funeral home work manual, the Big Warehouse Night Watchman.

Dressed all in black, with a cold face, not very old, probably about the same age as Jiang Xiao.

The Night Watchman, seeing this new employee, had no expression, didn’t even lift his head, just silently ate the rice in his bowl.

On the other hand, the director, he was all smiles, greeting Jiang Xiao, indicating they were just waiting for him to start eating.

Then, he began to eat.

Go figure, the director was quite polite, wasn’t he?

Jiang Xiao’s first impression of the Night Watchman was that he must be very capable, probably someone the director couldn’t control, otherwise he wouldn’t have started eating without waiting for the director.

But at the same time, this Night Watchman was also quite impolite for not waiting for him to eat.
