My name is Wu Xiangxiang, and I'm a corpse makeup artist.
To put it bluntly, it was to put makeup on the dead.
Actually, I'm not very brave. I'm forced to do this for a living. She majored in makeup in university, but because she looked too ugly, she could only do makeup for corpses.
I've only been doing this for a month, but I've been having the same dream. I dreamt of the corpses I had put on makeup talking to me…
There was a major traffic accident in the city today, and many people died. So the funeral parlor was busy, and I worked overtime until late at night.
There was no one on the way home. It was eerily quiet…There was a little girl under the streetlight not far away. The little girl had her hair braided and was squatting on the ground with her back facing me.
I walked over and asked kindly," Little girl, why are you here alone?”
The little girl said," I can't find my home.”
"Where is your home?" I asked.
" Then," the little girl pointed at the construction site on the left side of the road. Weird, wasn't there construction going on there? Why would someone live there?
I thought about it and felt that something was wrong. Why don't we leave? However, seeing such a little girl on the road, he guessed that something would happen, so he kindly said,"Do you want me to help you find a home?"
"Alright." The little girl agreed and turned around. When she turned her head, I saw a braid.
I was so scared that I shouted and ran away.
Fortunately, the little girl did not catch up. I returned home safely. When he arrived at home, he searched the construction site the little girl pointed out on Baidu and realized that it was a mass grave that had been rebuilt!
When I woke up the next day, I had a headache.
I didn't sleep well last night because I had the same dream as before. The corpses that I had put on makeup in my dream woke up. They talked to me normally and told me what kind of makeup they liked.
Some of them even cut off their heads and placed them on the table. Their bodies were monitoring me from the side, allowing me to take care of myself.
I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat all night. I couldn't wake up even if I wanted to. This was probably the reason why the salary of a corpse painter was more than 6,000 yuan. It was too much of a test of one's mental endurance!
After washing up, I went to the funeral parlor to work as usual.
Xiaowen at the front desk called me,"Xiang Xiang, there's another delivery for you." Tell me the truth, is there someone chasing you and sending you things every day?”
I smiled embarrassedly. Actually, I'm not bad looking. It's just that in recent years, there have been more and more freckles on my face, causing me to become what others call a "pockmarked face." But fortunately, I still have a boyfriend of seven years who won't leave me. We're already engaged. No one will pursue me.
He opened the package with a pair of scissors. Inside was an exquisite small box. I hesitated and didn't open it.
For some reason, he had been receiving packages one after another recently. Some of them received red wedding dresses, some received wedding invitations, and once even sent me a book of erotic pictures. It made people angry and embarrassed!
The strange thing was that the sender's phone number and address were not on the package. Only the sender's name was written-Netherworld.
The recipient's name was clearly written as Wu Xiangxiang. My phone number and the address of the funeral parlor were written on it.
He had confirmed that he had sent it to the right place, but wasn't this all too ridiculous? Who was so free to play such a prank? Or was there really a ghost?
"Xiangxiang, why are you in a daze? Hurry up and open it to see what it is.”Xiaowen urged me.
I carefully opened it and saw a sapphire ring inside. The ring seemed to be of good quality, solemn and elegant.
"Wow, who gave you such a good ring? Was this a proposal? Put it on quickly."
Propose? I already have a fiancé. Besides, who would give such an expensive thing as a prank? I couldn't resist Xiaowen's urging, so I put the ring on my finger. As soon as he put it on, it seemed to be tightly attached to his fingers like magic, and he could not pull it off no matter how hard he tried.
I frowned and said,"Xiaowen, the ring can't be taken off. It's still fine when I put it on just now."”Xiaowen was also anxious when she saw this. She enthusiastically helped me find a way to get the ring on the Internet.
According to what the internet said, Xiaowen helped me circle my finger many times with a thin thread, then used the thread to pull through the ring. Logically speaking, he should be able to retrieve the ring, but this one still did not budge.
It was as if it was dipped in glue.
Just as Xiaowen and I were frowning, the director said," Wu Xiangxiang, what are you doing? It's not like you don't know how busy business is today. Hurry, there's a corpse here. Find someone to disinfect it with you.”
"He's here." I walked over to examine the corpse. The corpse looked like it had been dead for many days. It was riddled with holes and was covered in black blood.
To be honest, being a body makeup artist was not as simple as the outside world thought. All she needed to do was put on makeup. From the moment a corpse was received, the makeup artist would be responsible for disinfecting, cleaning, applying makeup, combing hair, and changing clothes.
It was so that the deceased could have dignity and be cremated cleanly.
I looked at the stinky corpse and covered my nose."How did this woman die so miserably?”
My colleague, Xiaomi, told me,"I heard it was a crime of passion. She was stabbed more than 40 times!" He had been dead for a few days before his body was found.”
I sighed,"You're sending me makeup just like that?" Nothing is safe these days. Let's go and disinfect this first.”
"There's no other way," Xiao Mi said."The relatives said that the deceased loved beauty when she was alive. It must be cremated decently."
So the two of us began to disinfect the body. We took the disinfectant tube and washed it on the body. I've been here for a month, and I can already face those corpses that died a normal death. However, he really didn't dare to look at this tragic death…
I had no choice but to resist the urge to vomit and continue disinfecting her. Who asked me to get paid? I have to be dedicated. If I wasn't afraid of being fired, I would have run away a long time ago. Who would dare to face such a "salted fish"?
I knew that using " salted fish " as an analogy for corpses was disrespectful to the dead, but I really couldn't think of a better analogy.
After washing the corpse, the water in the bath was already a turbid dark red. After wiping the water off the corpse, Amy and I had to use a sponge to block the holes on her body.
That was because blood would flow out of the holes on her body. It would not look good if the shroud was dirtied.
After all the holes were blocked, they put on makeup. Although the victim's facial features were deformed and had slightly decomposed and livor mortis, she still looked pretty good before she was born. I took out the makeup set that I had prepared for the dead and prepared to apply foundation on her. This powder was good enough to cover up livor mortis and make the corpse look more vibrant.
After putting on makeup, I prepared to put on a shroud for her. Just as I was half-squatting to take the shroud, I suddenly felt someone doing that behind me.
How could that be? I quickly stood up, but found that there was nothing behind me. There was no one, not even a ghost.
So I bent down to flip the shroud again, and that feeling came from behind me again. He was probably hallucinating…but why did it feel so real? It was as if she had been violated.
I didn't care. It didn't take long for that feeling to disappear. After putting the shroud on the corpse, she looked very clean and tidy. A sense of accomplishment arose in his heart.
I didn't expect that I could already face such a terrifying level of corpse. I have to ask the director to give me a raise. Haha.
Xiao Mi's voice rang out behind her." Xiang Xiang, don't you know that your period is here? I'll take care of this. Hurry up and wash your pants!”
I thought she was joking, so I casually said,"My aunt just left."
Amy advised me seriously,"Are you confused?" Hurry up and settle it!"
Seeing that she didn't seem to be joking, I felt that something was wrong. Indeed, there was a sticky feeling under me, so I said," I'll go now.”
My face turned pale and red as I ran to the toilet. There was indeed blood on his pants, but his aunt had just left a few days ago…
He suddenly recalled that strange feeling from before. It was as if someone was behind me, but when I turned around, there was no one.
Could it be that my bleeding has something to do with that?
He went online to find out what kind of situation would cause bleeding. According to my situation, other than having an aunt, I've also lost my virginity…
My first time is still there, and I saved it for our wedding night next month. My fiancé was also very understanding and supportive of my actions.
Could it be that my 24 years of innocence is gone just like that? No, it wouldn't. I'm thinking too much. All of this is just a coincidence!
After a day of work, I returned home. At night, I had a dream. In the dream, I was in a palace. The palace was gray in color and there were skulls hanging everywhere, making people shudder.
Suddenly, the coffin in the center of the palace moved.
The lid of the coffin slowly opened, and a handsome man slowly walked out. To be precise, it was a male ghost. Which normal man would lie in a coffin? Are you full?
The male ghost was suspended in the air, his long hair flowing in the wind. The black robe on his body was arrogant and unrestrained. At this moment, he was looking at me like a king.
I was so scared that I didn't dare to speak. I just stared blankly. She was a little frightened, but more than that, she was dumbfounded.
The man's thin lips parted slightly, revealing a trace of disdain.""Why? Is your husband that good-looking?”
He spoke slowly, his voice sounding like mellow red wine. However, the words that came out of his mouth were not so pleasant to hear. Husband?
What was his surname?
What a strange name.
"Where is this place? Who are you?" I asked cautiously, not daring to breathe too loudly.
The man's deep and pleasant voice sounded."Wifey, have you forgotten your husband?"
Hearing what he said, I became anxious. What wife? I had a bad premonition. I quickly explained,"I'm not your wife. Are you mistaken? Look at the freckles on my face…"
The man suddenly teleported in front of me. He narrowed his long and narrow eyes and leaned close to my face."That's right, I deliberately put it there.”
Hearing his words, I subconsciously took a few steps back and sucked in a cold breath. "Who exactly are you? Why did you do that?"
