My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 167 Funeral Shop

"You awakened at the shrine in the City of Joy."

"You consumed a piece of dog food."

"Your strength has been restored."

"Where are you going next?"

"Will you choose to go to the workshop of the Immortal of Blessings again? Or will you choose to look somewhere else?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and decided to go there again, but this time he didn't plan to endure it. If anyone dared to take action again, he would kill everyone and lure out the Immortal of Fortune.

See if you can kill it. If not, you can also find out the other party's background.

"You choose to go to Fu Baoxian's workshop again."

"But halfway to the Fubao Xian Workshop, you met a private detective covered in blood on the street."

"Do you want to go and investigate?"

"You walked up to the private detective and found that it had died of serious injuries, with blood stains all over its body."

"He was once the most famous private detective in Xishen City, helping the police to solve many major cases. I didn't expect that he would end up dead on the street."

"Do you want to perform a corpse search?"

"You chose to touch the corpse."

"You have found something by groping around in the remains of a patrolling private investigator."

"You found a mahogany pipe, a private detective's notebook, a secret manual of "Bone-Breaking Sanshou", and a pair of Tianmu demon glasses."

"Mahogany pipe (common prop), a pipe commonly used by private detectives, carved from mahogany, has the effect of calming the mind and concentrating attention."

"Bone-breaking Free-Hand (Ordinary Skill), a unique skill of grappling and dislocating bones from the traditional Chinese martial arts, can break the opponent's tendons and joints in the shortest time, at the fastest speed, and with the least amount of force."

"Tianmu Monster Glasses (Excellent Prop), lenses made from the polished eyeballs of Tianmu Monsters. Any clues at the scene will not escape the inspection of these glasses."

"Private detective's notes (ordinary item), a notebook left by a private detective. The notes record the various cases, big and small, that he has solved and handled over the years. The last case recorded is the murder case at Fubao Workshop."

"Note: When you carry this detective notebook, if you interact with the events or characters recorded in the notebook, the notebook will automatically trigger the corresponding intelligence clues."

"You triggered it, private investigator's notes."

"You opened the private detective's notes. According to the last case in the notes, Fu Baoxian is going to take his thirteenth concubine and is gathering craftsmen to build a new house for the wedding."

"It's nothing, but people often go missing in this area, and they are all unmarried boys and girls."

"Private detectives were commissioned by the families of the missing people to enter the construction site in disguise. After some investigation, they found that the missing people had all been killed by the gods of fortune."

"The private detective wanted to report the case to the police station, but he was discovered by those lucky people. He escaped from the scene by chance, but died tragically on the street due to his serious injuries."

"You have unlocked a new scene - the Wedding Hall of the Blessing Immortal."

"Do you want to go now?"

"You chose to go to the wedding hall of the Blessing Immortal."

"Xihunfang, this place used to be the property of the Blessing Immortal, but now it has been given to his new concubine, Lady Hong."

"Red Lady (excellent), a well-known monster in Xishen City. She once studied in Maoshan, but was expelled from Maoshan because she broke the commandments. She went to Xishen City to settle down, where she bathed in the blood of living people in the extravagant hope of staying young forever."

"Do you want to enter?" "You have arrived at the Wedding Hall."

"You find many blessed ones wandering around, looking at you unkindly. You want to go in and find out what's going on, but you can't get rid of them."

"And what will surprise you even more is that these blessed ones can actually see through your invisibility."

"You have to leave here for now."

Jiang Xinghuo was secretly calculating in his mind.

According to the current model, if you want to explore the small map of Xihunfang, you can only enter it openly. Other methods seem to be useless.

It was the first time he encountered a monster that could see through his invisibility.

"Where are you planning to go next?"

Looking at the text that popped up on the screen, Jiang Xinghuo didn't think too much about it. Since this small map could not be explored for the time being, there was no need to keep trying. He should go somewhere else first and maybe things would turn around.

"You chose to go to the funeral home."

"The journey is ongoing..."

"please wait……"

Jiang Xinghuo waited for about ten minutes before a message prompt came from the game.

"You have arrived at the funeral home."

"The funeral parlor was bustling with activity. You took the notice out of your trick bag and found the undertaker."

"When you walked into the funeral home, the undertaker saw that you were a stranger and subconsciously wanted to make you into a wax figure. Fortunately, you handed over the notice in time and revealed your identity."

"After seeing the notice, the undertaker immediately changed his previous coldness and took your hand warmly. The work of a funeral home is not tiring, but a little busy. The main responsibility is to build the mourning shed when someone dies, and to bury the body on the seventh day after the death. It is a one-stop service."

"Three meals a day and a place to stay are provided, but the wages are a little less. The undertaker asks if you are willing to stay?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it briefly and decided to stay. There should be a lot of plots in Xishen City, and most of them are related to death. It is better to stay in the funeral home than to run around aimlessly.

If that doesn't work, you can always leave.

So, Jiang Xinghuo chose to stay.

"You stayed in the funeral home."

"The undertaker asked you to learn how to make wax from the wax artist first, and you followed the wax artist into the wax making room."

"The wax house was steaming hot, filled with candles of various shapes and sizes, but without exception, they were all candles used for funerals. A large pot was placed in the middle of the wax house, bubbling with hot steam, and you could vaguely see a corpse floating inside."

"The wax worker takes you to the big pot, picks up the iron shovel next to it, and starts stirring in the pot. The fat will gradually separate from the flesh."

"But what you didn't expect was that the body in the pot was still alive. It struggled to stretch out an arm with torn flesh, grabbed your hair, and dragged you into the pot."

"The wax craftsman was too late to save you. He could only watch you gradually merge with the wax in the pot."

"You melted in the hot wax."

"You are dead."

Depend on!
Jiang Xinghuo looked at his phone speechlessly. He was already prepared when he entered the wax shop. He thought he would be killed by the wax maker, but he never expected that his death would be so weird.
