Jade of 174 Qiaoyu

other to continue living. But his magic power wasn't enough, so he made some deals with the Ghost King. At that time...it was probably his own choice, to avoid becoming the Ghost King's puppet."“The S...What's in the basement

I crossed my arms and waited for him to continue, ready to punch him if he didn't make any sense.

My brother turned his head to the nurse who was changing shifts, gave her a smile and waved her off. Then he leaned in and whispered to me, “I met a distant relative of ours here, down on the third floor! And I think something’s following me!”

There's a relative in the underground third floor I furrowed my brows, is it a person or a ghost

My brother led me toward the big elevator, telling me about what had happened to him along the way.

On his first day of internship, he bumped into a ghost.

This elevator frequently has “accidents,” during the day it’s fine, but at night when there are fewer people and it’s colder, it often automatically jumps to the negative third floor. The negative third floor is the hospital morgue and formaldehyde tank.

My brother was taking the elevator on his first day of work. He got in at the same time as a doctor. When he saw that the doctor pressed for the negative first floor, he lowered his head to play with his phone and didn't pay attention to which floor the elevator stopped at. He heard a "ding" and opened the door. As soon as he took a step out, the doctor grabbed him.

"Come in quickly!" The doctor's face was pale: "We can't go to the third basement level of our hospital!"

What Underground three floors Isn't it the negative one floor parking lot

My brother hadn't come back yet, and I immediately felt a chill. A female ghost lying on the ground tugged at my pant leg.

"Holy crap!" He immediately jumped back into the elevator and frantically pressed the button for the basement.

The surgeon said, "Our hospital has a strange rule. Corpse deliveries can only be brought to the door. Then Old Lin, the morgue attendant, will pick them up at the elevator entrance. They say this place is very haunted. Look, I even have a talisman on my wrist."

My brother cursed inwardly, he's already gone crazy!

The next day, at noon, my brother ran to find the mortician on duty. He was an uncle named Lao Lin. As soon as Lao Lin heard that my brother's surname was Mu, he immediately greeted him with a family secret code.

Old Lin's mother was also from the Mu family. Knowing my brother was from the main branch of the Mu family, he quietly told him that the mortuary in this hospital was a little unsettling.

He collected several corpses, finding that they were all somewhat abnormal.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but ask, "What's unusual about it"

"Have you heard of the Nine Aperture Jade" my brother asked in a hushed voice.

Nine Apertures Jade…Is there still such a thing as Nine Apertures Jade these days!

It is said that in the past, to preserve corpses, objects were inserted into the body's "openings" - the eyes, ears, nostrils, mouth, and anus. This was done to slow down the decomposition process and was collectively known as the Nine Apertures Jade.

Jiang Qiyun, hearing this, lightly furrowed his brow and said, "Such things no longer exist. The techniques of sealing the corpse's acupoints have long since vanished."

Modern embalming techniques are far superior to those from centuries ago, and cremation is now the more common practice. The bodies in morgues are only sealed with wooden plugs in their nostrils.

Packing the nostrils is done to prevent bodily fluids and infectious bacteria from escaping a corpse. Though it may seem gruesome, it's actually a medical procedure. For morticians who are used to handling this on a daily basis, it's nothing out of the ordinary.

But this old Lin said that the several bodies delivered recently, besides their eyes, were all stuffed. Later, the people who took these bodies away were not from the funeral home or crematorium, but so-called relatives. He didn't know where these bodies went in the end.

Until a few days ago, a particularly gruesome body was delivered. Half of its body was missing, and someone had even stuffed cotton in its nose, ears, and mouth, preparing to “take it away.”

This line of code defines the end of a paragraph element. Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Perhaps because this corpse died so terribly, the place became haunted that night. However, Lao Lin was tough and had gotten used to it a long time ago. Unfortunately, my brother was inexplicably touched on the pant leg by this female ghost, and then this female ghost would frequently appear from dark and filthy places to startle my brother.

Hospitals are places of yin and yang transformation, so it's perfectly normal to have ghosts.

Many hospitals may appear grand, spacious, and technologically advanced, but in reality, a lot of thought went into their design during the construction phase.

Why are those private clinics often involved in trouble On one hand, it's illegal practice, and on the other hand, most of them rent a house to operate, without paying attention to taboos at all.

Even if you're careful about avoiding taboos, every hospital has a few ghosts.

I listlessly followed my brother toward the elevator, thinking that if it was just a trivial matter, I'd beat him up and not cook for him for three days!

My brother took us to the elevator entrance and said to Jiang Qiyun, "Brother-in-law, do you have any way to disguise yourself as a normal person Ghosts see you running faster than a rabbit! How can we do business like this"

I held back a smile and glanced at Jiang Qiyun. He didn't like to transform into a physical form; it was fine with me as long as I could see and touch him.

Jiang Qiyun frowned and said lightly, "I asked Taiyi to make one for me."

Could we really have a Jiang Qiyun who can do the lotus blossoming bone technique

My brother pressed several floors on purpose and said to me, “It’s not every time that it automatically goes to the negative third floor. I tried it a few times during the day, but nothing happened. It only seems to occur when there are fewer people, or occasionally in the evening.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the lights above the buttons he had pressed went out, and the light on the -3rd floor came on.

"Tsk tsk, is this a welcome Xiao Qiao, did my bag come" My brother rubbed his hands.

"I only brought my waist pouch. I dare not carry your backpack full of contraband. Going out at this late hour, I'm afraid of encountering the police checking for IDs..." I handed him the waist pouch filled with talismans and Five Emperors coins.

The elevator descended floor by floor, the air growing progressively colder. A ghostly aura, unique and chilling, began to permeate the space.

If I had to face this situation alone, I would still be scared. But since my brother and Jiang Qiyun are here, I don't even bother casting spells... It seems a bit unambitious, doesn't it

Jiang Qiyun acted as if nothing concerned him. He didn't really want to get involved in these trivial matters; he was only here with me out of companionship. It's best if he doesn't intervene, otherwise, once he does, it will be a complete annihilation. That would result in more karmic burdens for me.

The elevator "dinged" open, a wave of icy cold air hit me. I was reminded of the decaying limbs I had once seen in a freezer, and I gagged, covering my mouth.

Jiang Qiyun frowned and said to my brother, "We must detain this female ghost!"

"Huh" My brother was taken aback.

I saw a ghost with only half a body climb to the elevator door and reach out to my brother.

That female ghost's lower half was gone, her internal organs vanished as well. Only a section of her spine was exposed. She must have died terribly.

I took a few steps back in fright. Jiang Qiyun reached out and held me, his brows slightly furrowed as he said, "If you're afraid, don't look."

My brother squatted down with a pained expression and said to the female ghost, “Miss, grievances have their source, debts have their owners. It was just that when I first came here, I didn’t know any better and you touched me once. Don't bother me anymore, okay Even last time when I went to the toilet, you crawled out from inside the toilet. Aren’t you afraid I’d pee on your face”sing beyond measure, yet to stand by his side as an equal remains a dream unfulfilled.》》》The space beside me suddenly cracked, a black fissure like lightning tore open, and Mu Wanchen appeared beside...
