The young man had slender high nose bridge.
It only be said that two looked nothing alike.
"This is my first seeing guard funeral home."
"You two brave."
"Must be middle Here, have smoke to stay alert!"
Though young man cold, quite talkative.
He lit us, strange fragrance filling air:
"Why aren't you smoking?"
"Don't tell me you're looking me because cheap cigarettes?"
The mood shifted June weather. smiled him:
"Brother, can't smoke these."
These dead.

The tobacco incense, stuffed black tail hairs, dripped corpse oil.
These ghost cigarettes, specially offered to wandering spirits.
If living people accidentally them, would extinguish their soul fire, making them to possession.
The face darkened instantly:
"What do you mean? Looking me?"
Song immediately pulled out golden pack Liqun from bag:
"Big brother, don't be angry! Try these! We brought our own!"
"Holy shit! Fuchun Mountain Residence!"
The nearly out. My eyelid twitched.
Before coming to funeral home, I'd asked Song to prepare socializing.
The rich girl immediately chose most expensive ones - reportedly over 2,000 per pack.
The hands trembled as held cigarette box, overwhelmed by Song Feifei's display wealth.
Money make ghosts turn millstones.
Song stuffed entire carton into arms.
The man his eyes, face shifting through emotions.
After long pause, gritted his whispered:
"This funeral home is... unusual."
"You two should to After 1 AM, don't out no matter what you hear."
"Remember - if you your lives, don't that room before dawn!"
With that, fled as if chased by demons.
Song stared blankly his retreating figure, completely confused.

Funeral Home Rules:
1. Don't speak to corpses
2. visit embalming room during night shifts
3. any people seen mourning halls night
4. Refuse any offered vigil room
5. Beware judicial police
We'd met judicial police accepted vigil room.
The judicial police mentally unstable, vigil room man also seemed peculiar.
After lengthy Song decided to mourning hall.
It just past - still early before 1 deadline.
The largest mourning hall decorated classical elegance, clearly expensive.
I nudged Song Feifei:
"Tsk, rich people die style."
Song sniffed disdainfully:
"Still rather low-class my status."
As chatted, hall lights began flickering madly.
"Lingzhu, look!"
The mourning hall arranged an raised platform front remains.
White-covered benches filled rows.
As lights flickered, blurry figure front bench.

It view young woman.
Dressed bright red ancient wedding styled an elaborate updo.
The strobing lights sudden appearance this bizarre woman made us veterans gasp.
Most importantly, no yin energy from her.
She wasn't ghost.
"Who you?"
My loud question answered by bell-like laughter echoing through hall.
Exchanging glances Song Feifei, stepped forward - she vanished.
The lights flickered again.
Next moment, woman lay amidst display platform.
Her face deathly pale, lips blood-red.
"Holy shit! What is that thing?"
"What you doing here?" came running, furious to find us "Why do you keep wandering? Forgot my warnings?"
Strangely, Liu's arrival instantly normalized hall.
I studied him:
"Captain, did you see that woman?"
Liu glanced around nervously before glaring:
"What woman? Only you two women here!"
"You girls too bold! me will get you trouble!"

Liu evaded about earlier incident room.
He high blood caused his fainting spells, saying woke up restroom.
Reiterating funeral home rules, ordered us to our room.
His shifty contradictory revealed obvious lies.
After escorting us back, helpfully brought two cups water:
"I'll first watch. Sleep 4 your shift."
When left hurry, tasted water - weird flavor:
"Liu Dazhuang's definitely suspicious."
Song tried door:
"Locked. Probably double-locked."
Liu seemed anxious might quit, downplaying supernatural events.
Remembering vigil room warning about staying after 1 AM, napped appointed time.
Picking lock easily, toward embalming room - where unclaimed corpses stored indefinitely...
