Zhang Xuexue's face was also very solemn. "I just felt strange, why is there so much resentment here? Sure enough, there is something fishy going on! Let's go and see what they are doing with the body."

At the corner of the corridor is the elevator room, and next to it is the stairwell.

Following the stairs to the basement, I saw that the layout here was similar to that of the upstairs.

There is a corridor with several rooms on both sides. There is also a guard room opposite the stairwell.

The guard saw Bai Jun and Zhang Xuexue who had just come down the stairwell and was about to call out to them.

Zhang Xuexue once again used the method of confusion, muttering: "We are employees here, employees..."

The guard's eyes were confused for a moment, as if he had been brainwashed. "So it's you, come in."

When passing by the guard gate, Bai Jun saw a "Code of Conduct for Cremation Building Employees" hanging on the wall:

1. Please believe in science, there are no ghosts in the world;

2. After dark, no one is allowed to stay in the funeral home except for those on duty;

3. Be sure to wear protective beads when entering the underground first floor;

4. If you hear or see anything unusual, don’t be afraid;

5. Non-crematorium staff are not allowed to enter here, otherwise they will be entangled by unclean things;

Bai Jun said: "This is really contradictory. The first sentence says there are no ghosts, but the rest of the sentence completely overturns the first sentence."

Zhang Xuexue said: "This is just to scare people. The purpose is to prevent people from entering the basement floor casually."

"I just inquired about it. This crematorium is outsourced and is not part of the funeral home's staff. The crematorium employees are paid very high salaries, ten times higher than regular employees at ordinary funeral homes."

At this time, there was a noise coming from the end of the corridor. Zhang Xuexue immediately pushed Bai Jun into the guard room and waited until the two people who had just pushed the coffin down left before coming out.

"Let's go and take a look over there!"

Although the guard next to him was still brainwashed by Zhang Xuexue, he still subconsciously reminded her:

"Rule 3 of the employee code: You must wear protective beads when entering the basement floor!"

Only then did Bai Jun discover that the guard also wore a black bead around his neck. It looked like it was made of glass, and there were small dark red cinnabar characters on it.

"This bead can ward off ghosts. Ghosts can neither see nor touch the person who wears it." Zhang Xuexue couldn't help but sneer, "Are you afraid of being haunted by ghosts if you do something evil?"

Bai Jun asked: "Should I also get a protective bead?"

Zhang Xuexue asked him: "Have you ever done anything that is against the will of heaven and earth?"

Bai Jun shook his head.

Zhang Xuexue said: "Then what are you afraid of? Let's go, how can you let the ghost eat you when I'm here?"

When I pushed open the door of the morgue, I saw more than a dozen corpses lying neatly on beds.

Zhang Xuexue casually lifted the cloth covering a corpse, revealing an old man in his 80s. She had seen his son and daughter at the entrance of the auditorium not long ago.

Bai Jun bravely uncovered the outermost body and exclaimed when he saw the woman with red curly hair and tattoos on her arms:

"This is the elder sister of the Fang family. She really hasn't been cremated! What are these people doing? Why are they stealing the body?"

Zhang Xuexue said: "If you want to know the reason, just wait and see."

"You're not going to spend the night in the morgue?"

Bai Jun glanced around and saw that it was cold and gloomy here. Although there was light, the incandescent light made everything around him look even colder and paler.

Since this was where corpses were stored, the temperature here was very low, and Bai Jun began to shiver as he hugged his arms.

"How about we just go and guard outside?"

Zhang Xuexue glanced at him, a little surprised: "You are actually shaking with fear?"

"Who's shivering with fear? I'm freezing, freezing!"

"Aren't you really scared?"

"Of course. I, Bai Junke, am still a man. I am the only grandson that my grandmother recognizes. How could I be afraid?"

"It's good that you're not afraid. Just stay and wait with me."

"..." Bai Jun suddenly felt that he was in a difficult situation.

Hey, why did I end up at the funeral home when all of a sudden? It was unbelievable just thinking about it.

Time passed by minute by minute, and soon it was 12 o'clock in the evening.

The funeral home was empty and the crematorium staff had left.

It was not until then that Bai Jun remembered that he should send a message to Lao Qiu to explain the situation.

But there is no cell phone signal here and I can’t make calls.

"Zhang Xuexue, why don't you go out and call Lao Qiu? Didn't we agree before that we would meet up at 7pm and return to the mountain?"

Zhang Xuexue said, "That's right. The signal here is not good. I'll go out and make a phone call and be back soon. You wait here for me."

Bai Jun suddenly became nervous: "Ah? I'm waiting here alone? I, I, I, I..."

Zhang Xuexue said with a smile: "If you feel scared, just say it directly. It's okay. It's not shameful."

Bai Jun stiffened his neck and said stubbornly, "Who's scared? Zhang Xuexue, don't look down on me! Aren't you going to make a phone call? Go quickly, I'll stay and watch over you!"

"I'll be back soon, just stay here and don't run around."

"Then hurry up, in case some bad guys come later."

"I'm nearby. I can sense when someone is approaching."

As soon as Zhang Xuexue finished speaking, she disappeared from Bai Jun's sight.

Bai Jun looked at the dozen or so bodies and felt that the temperature around him was even lower and the yin energy was even thicker.

"Shouldn't he be a fake corpse?"

Bai Jun clasped his hands together and bowed to the bodies devoutly and fearfully:

"I don't mean to offend you, but the things here are very strange, so I want to help you. Please don't scare me, I'm actually very timid and can't stand being scared..."

He didn't know if it was really effective after he prayed or if it was just a psychological effect, but he felt that the negative energy around him seemed to have faded a lot.

Just when he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard a chuckle.

Who's laughing?

He turned back tremblingly and saw a woman with dyed red hair and wearing a lace dress sitting on the coffin and smiling at him.

Bai Jun: "..."

Zhang Xuexue took her cell phone to the outside of the crematorium, but there was still no signal.

She simply walked a little further away, to the door of the funeral home.

This time there was a signal. She dialed the phone, briefly talked to Lao Qiu, and returned to the basement floor of the crematorium building. She was surprised to find that Bai Jun was gone!

Not only was Bai Jun missing, but five of the bodies that were originally stored there were also missing.

Zhang Xuexue blinked: "I was outside just now. If someone came in, I should have noticed it. How could he suddenly disappear? Could it be that the person who kidnapped Bai Jun and those corpses was not a human..."

Suddenly, Zhang Xuexue became nervous: "Bai Jun looks so silly, is he going to get hurt? If something happens to him, how can I explain this to Wanwan?"

The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became, so she called Sang Feiwan.

Sang Feiwan’s personal communication phone was out of battery and could not be reached, and the message replies from the phone used for live broadcasts were sometimes delayed.

Zhang Xuexue then called Yu Beiming.

Although I don’t know where Wanwan is now, Yu Beiming will definitely not be too far away from her.

Finding Yu Beiming is equivalent to finding Sang Feiwan.
