“It’s that guy who acted with you to fool me, Bastian.”

“…You’re talking about Thomas, right?”

That guy was really hilarious, leaving a very deep impression on Kiara.

Kiara had asked for Thomas’s help when treating Mario Yuno for his psychological issues, and a lot of jokes ensued. Kiara still laughs now when she remembers how he got a beating after pretending to be a Buddhist saint on the spot.

It’s not easy to meet a character like him in life!

“Yeah, him. The kid also came over.”

“How come your standards are so low, allowing just about anyone to come over? Besides, that kid isn’t a professional, is he?”

“He’s an actor though, experiencing life at our company. When he asked to gain life experience for his next TV series, we couldn’t really refuse.” So Camden remembered him when he saw the actor’s name on the list.

“Oh, then just go easy on him. Just by looking at that kid’s face, you can tell he’s not much use.”

Mario Yuno chuckled mischievously, “I’m not only not going to make it easy for him, but I’m also going to put Arlong in the same room as him, hahaha!”

Kiara initially felt that it wasn’t a good idea. Her brother was always thinking about getting benefits without working for them, putting him in the same room with Thomas was giving him an opportunity.

Thomas’s dad was quite impressive; what if Arlong ingratiated himself with him?

But then she thought about it and laughed, exchanging glances with Mario Yuno. Both had mischievous twinkle in their eyes.

“That’s not a bad idea, one who’s mentally lazy matched with one who’s physically lazy – putting these two together might actually be complementary. Husband, I’ve realized you have the potential to be a psychologist now, this pairing is great.”

Camden came over proudly and kissed Kiara on the face, “Wife, just wait and watch the good show.”

Kiara knew this guy was up to no good again, so she pushed him away.

“Get away from me, I haven’t finished my work.”

“What work do you have that’s more important than attending to the living?”

“Life.”

Seeing his confusion, Kiara rubbed his head, “I have several last rites cases on my hands recently. Funnily enough, every year around New Year’s, there are a lot of these cases to handle.”

“Speaking of which, I’ve also noticed that there seem to be unusually high death rates around New Year’s, why is that? Today, I passed by the Funeral Home and saw a lot of cars parked outside, guess what kind of music they were playing in there?”

“Dirges?” Funeral Homes naturally play a variety of dirges for such occasions, what else?

“Courage.”

“Pfft!” Kiara burst out laughing.

It took a good while before she was able to stop, “The employees here are just too talented.”

“I had a junior high school classmate who worked at a funeral home. When Zeke Sean couldn’t dare to make eye contact with them at a reunion, I asked him what was up. Guess what he said?”

“What?” Now, Kiara was the owner of a super VIP gold card for all of Zeke Sean’s fast-moving consumer goods businesses, exclusively for Kiara’s family’s use, take anything without spending a dime.

Every time Kiara went to pay at Zeke Sean’s newly opened supermarket, the look of astonishment on the cashier’s face was so satisfying. Rumor has it that Mother Yuno was also planning to ask Zeke Sean for one, since the lad had been lurking around the Yuno Family for so many years and had quietly snatched up Third Brother of Yuno Family.

When the two announced their relationship, Mr. Yuno’s purple clay teapot dropped from his hands, chipping a small piece, nearly breaking his heart. Although Zeke Sean later sent a better teapot to his future father-in-law with presence of mind, he still didn’t receive a straight look from father-in-law. After all, marrying off a daughter and taking a son-in-law were completely different mindsets.

So Kiara was especially curious. If Zeke Sean could win over a tough catch like Indri Yuno, why would he be afraid of a crematorium worker?

“Zeke Sean said that looking into my classmate’s eyes felt like they could see through the barriers between the living and the dead. According to him, people who work long-term in funeral homes have this vacant gaze as if they were looking at ghosts.”

“Pulling calves… if we go by his theory, we psychologists haven’t had any shortage of contact with the terminally ill either, yet we haven’t developed any clairvoyance.”

“But I did look carefully, and people who work long-term at crematoriums indeed have a different look in their eyes compared to normal folk. To say they have supernatural vision might be a bit much, but there’s definitely a sort of ethereal quality to it.”

Mario Yuno hadn’t paid attention to it before, but after Zeke Sean mentioned it, he took a good look and asked a few people around him. They all agreed they wouldn’t dare to make prolonged eye contact with someone who worked at the crematorium, feeling their eyes could be eerily unsettling if looked at for too long.

“It’s all about scaring yourself. Do you think your gaze is very friendly? Normal people can’t stand it if you stare into their eyes for too long either.”

Mario Yuno naturally carried an imposing aura, so even petty thieves wouldn’t dare to make eye contact with him.

“But you still haven’t answered, why are there so many deaths before and after the New Year?”

“Well, that’s something you could analyze from different levels. First, from the perspective of natural science, transportation is very busy around the New Year, leading to frequent traffic accidents. We prioritize family reunions during this time and everyone rushes home around the holiday, which is why there’s an increase in accidents every year. Aside from that, from a health standpoint, blood vessels are especially prone to constricting in winter. Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are already at their peak, and with the added stress and various reasons for exertion during the New Year, sudden deaths aren’t uncommon.”

Kiara explained from a scientific standpoint, but Mario Yuno still had his doubts.

“That can’t be the whole story. I remember when I was young, some elders would say to those gravely ill and bedridden, if they could survive the New Year, it was a critical hurdle. Many indeed didn’t make it past. And this idea wasn’t just a frequent refrain among the elderly, it was also reflected in some classic literature. How do you explain that?”

“That has to do with what psychology calls the power of suggestion. Have you noticed that we are often subconsciously absorbing many suggestions, like how the New Year, the age of thirty-six, or your zodiac year are all hurdles? Some people firmly believe in these, and over time, it creates a strong psychological suggestion. Patients themselves think about it constantly. Being ill already requires a good mindset to battle the disease, but they scare themselves with these hurdles to death. Yet, some people get past the New Year, which boosts their confidence to fight the illness, and they end up living several more years. This also proves the truth behind these beliefs.”

The more people believe, the more cases seem to confirm it, and those who were initially skeptical start to think there might be something to it, thus establishing a pattern.

Mario Yuno nodded in agreement, feeling that what Kiara said made a lot of sense.

“However, that said, this is just my professional analysis of these matters. The truth is, there are some things that science can’t yet explain. I don’t dismiss the possibility of some supernatural phenomena, but for the most part, it’s all about people scaring themselves. Having met so many terminally ill patients, I’ve come to believe more in the idea that a good half of cancer patients are scared to death.”
