Chapter 650: Whether to be a Dog or Not

Early in the morning, when the first ray of sunlight illuminated the earth.

On the top of Tianding Mountain, in the side room of the main hall of the Amaterasu Shrine, Amaterasu Mikoto opened her eyes very punctually.

Even though the warm quilt was still tempting her to fall, the self-disciplined young shrine maiden easily broke free from the shackles and got up...

"I am a loser, I hardly pay attention to whether the sun is shining or not, because there is no time.

"My parents couldn't provide me with support, my education wasn't high, and I was alone in the city looking for a future.

"I found many jobs, but none of them hired me. Maybe no one likes someone who is not good at speaking, doesn't like to communicate, and hasn't shown enough ability.

"I only ate two pieces of bread for three whole days. Hunger made me unable to sleep at night. Fortunately, I paid the rent for a month in advance and could continue to live in that dark basement, without having to go outside to endure the unusually cold wind of winter.

"Finally, I found a job, guarding the night at the hospital, guarding the morgue.

"The night at the hospital was colder than I imagined. The wall lamps in the corridor were not lit, and it was dim everywhere. I could only rely on the little light that penetrated from the room to help me see under my feet.

"The smell there was very unpleasant. From time to time, the dead were stuffed into body bags and sent over, and we cooperated to help move them into the morgue.

"This is not a very good job, but at least it allows me to afford bread. The free time at night can also be used for study. After all, no one is willing to come to the morgue unless there are corpses that need to be sent or transported for cremation. Of course, I don't have enough money to buy books yet, and I don't see any hope of saving money for the time being.

"I have to thank my predecessor colleague. If it weren't for his sudden resignation, I might not have been able to get such a job.

"I dream of being able to rotate to be responsible for the day. Now I always sleep when the sun comes out and wake up after the night comes, which makes my body a bit weak, and my head occasionally throbs with pain.

"One day, the mover sent a new corpse.

"I heard from others that this is my former colleague who resigned suddenly.

"I was a bit curious about him. After everyone left, I pulled out the cabinet and quietly opened the body bag.

"He was an old man, his face was blue and white, full of wrinkles, and he looked very scary under the very dim light.

"He didn't have much hair, most of it was white, and all his clothes were taken off, not even a piece of cloth was left for him.

"I saw a strange mark on his chest, blue-black, I can't describe the specific appearance, the light at that time was really too dim.

"I reached out and touched the mark, nothing special.

"Looking at this former colleague, I was thinking, if I keep going like this, when I get old, will I be the same as him...

"I said to him, tomorrow I will accompany him to the crematorium and personally take his ashes to the nearest free cemetery, so that those who are responsible for these things don't find it troublesome and just find a river or a wasteland to throw them away.

"This will sacrifice one morning of my sleep, but fortunately, it will be Sunday soon, so I can make up for it.

"After saying that, I fixed the body bag and stuffed it back into the cabinet.

"The light in the room seemed to be even dimmer...

"After that day, every time I sleep, I always dream of a thick fog.

"I have a premonition that something will happen soon, a premonition that sooner or later something that I don't know if it can be called a person will come to find me, but no one is willing to believe me, thinking that in such an environment and such a job, my spirit has become abnormal and I need to see a doctor..."

A male guest sitting at the bar looked at the narrator who suddenly stopped:

"And then?"

This male guest is in his thirties, wearing a brown tweed jacket and light yellow trousers, his hair is pressed very flat, and there is a simple dark round hat by his hand.

He looks ordinary, like most people in the tavern, black hair, light blue eyes, not good-looking, not ugly, lacking obvious features.

And the narrator in his eyes is a young man of eighteen or nineteen, with a tall figure and slender limbs, also with short black hair and light blue eyes, but with deep features, which can make people's eyes shine.

The young man looked at the empty glass in front of him and sighed:

"And then?

"Then I resigned and returned to the countryside to brag to you here."

As he spoke, a smile appeared on his face, a smile with a bit of teasing.

The male guest was stunned for a moment:

"What you just said was bragging?"

"Haha." A burst of laughter erupted around the bar.

The laughter subsided slightly, and a thin middle-aged man looked at the slightly embarrassed guest and said:

"Outsider, you actually believe Lu Mian's story. What he tells every day is different. Yesterday he was still a loser whose engagement was broken by his fiancée because of poverty, and today he became a corpse guard!"

"Yes, saying something about thirty years on the east side of the Sailunzuohe River, thirty years on the right side of the Sailunzuohe River, only knowing how to talk nonsense!" Another tavern regular followed.

They are all farmers in Kordu, a large village, wearing short jackets that are black, gray, or brown.

The black-haired young man called Lu Mian supported the bar with both hands, stood up slowly, and said with a smile:

"You know, this is not a story I made up, it was all written by my sister. She likes writing stories the most, and she is also a columnist for the 'Novel Weekly'."

After speaking, he turned his body, spread his hands to the visiting guest, and smiled brilliantly:

"It seems she writes really well.

"Sorry, I made you misunderstand."

The man in the brown tweed jacket with an ordinary appearance was not angry, stood up, and responded with a smile:

"A very interesting story.

"How should I address you?"

"Isn't it common sense to introduce yourself before asking others?" Lu Mian smiled.

The guest from out of town nodded:

"My name is Ryan Kesi.

"These two are my companions, Valentine and Liya."

The latter sentence refers to a man and a woman sitting next to him.

The man is twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with some powder on his yellow hair, and his eyes, which are not big, have a color deeper than lake blue. He is wearing a white vest, a blue fine wool coat, and black trousers, and he had clearly dressed up carefully before going out.

He looked quite indifferent and didn't look much at the farmers and herdsmen around him.

The woman looked younger than the two men, with a head of light gray long hair tied into a complex bun, wrapped in a white veil as a hat.

Her eyes were the same color as her hair, and her gaze toward Lu Mian carried undisguised laughter, and she seemed to find what just happened only interesting.

Under the light of the tavern's gas wall lamp, this woman named Liya revealed a pretty nose and beautifully curved lips, which definitely counts as a beauty in a countryside like Kordu village.

She was wearing a white unpleated cashmere tight skirt, with a beige small jacket and a pair of Ma Xier long boots. There were also two small silver bells tied to her veil and boots respectively. When she walked into the tavern just now, she was ding-dong all the way, which was very eye-catching, making many men stare straight.

In their eyes, this must be the fashionable dress only found in big cities like the provincial capital Bigeer or the capital Trill.

Lu Mian nodded to the three outsiders:

"My name is Lu Mian Li, you can call me Lu Mian directly."

"Li?" Liya blurted out.

"What's wrong, is there any problem with my surname?" Lu Mian asked curiously.

Ryan Kesi explained for Liya:

"Your surname is terrifying. I almost couldn't control my voice just now."

Seeing that the farmers and herdsmen around were puzzled, he further explained:

"People who have been in contact with sailors and sea merchants all know that there is such a saying circulating on the Five Seas:

"I would rather encounter those pirate generals or even kings than meet someone named Frank Li.

"That person's surname is also Li."

"Is he very scary?" Lu Mian asked.

Ryan shook his head:

"I don't know, but since there is such a legend, it certainly won't be bad."

He stopped the topic and said to Lu Mian:

"Thank you for your story, it is worth a drink, what do you want?" 【650-8

"A 'Green Fairy'." Lu Mian did not stand on ceremony at all and sat back down.

Ryan Cos frowned slightly and said:

"'Green Fairy'... Absinthe?

"I think I need to remind you that absinthe is harmful to the human body. This kind of alcohol can lead to mental confusion and cause you to have hallucinations."

"I didn't expect the fashion trends of Trier to have spread all the way here." Liya, who was beside him, added with a smile.

Lu Mian let out an "Oh":

"So people in Trier also like to drink 'Green Fairy'...

"For us, life is already hard enough. There's no need to care about a little more harm; this kind of alcohol allows our minds to achieve greater relaxation."

"Fine." Ryan sat back in his seat and looked at the bartender, "A 'Green Fairy', and add a 'Spicy Heart' for me."

"Spicy Heart" is a famous fruit schnapps.

"Why don't you get me a 'Green Fairy' too? I was the one who told you the truth just now, and I can tell you the whole story about this kid's situation!" The thin, middle-aged man who was the first to expose Lu Mian for telling stories every day shouted with dissatisfaction, "Outsiders, I can tell that you still have doubts about whether that story is true!"

"Pierre, you really will do anything for a free drink!" Lu Mian responded loudly.

Without waiting for Ryan to make a decision, Lu Mian added:

"Why can't I tell it myself? That way I can have another 'Green Fairy'."

"Because they don't know whether to believe the situation you're describing." The middle-aged man named Pierre laughed triumphantly, "The story your sister loves to tell the children most is 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf'. People who always lie inevitably lose their credibility."

"Fine." Lu Mian shrugged his shoulders, watching the bartender push a pale green glass of alcohol in front of him.

Ryan looked at him and asked:

"Is this okay?"

"No problem, as long as your wallet is enough to pay for these drinks." Lu Mian was completely indifferent.

"Then another 'Green Fairy'." Ryan nodded.

Pierre was suddenly all smiles:

"Generous outsider, this kid is the biggest prankster in the village. You must stay away from him.

"Five years ago, he was brought back to the village by his sister Aurore and hasn't left since. Think about it, before that, he was only thirteen years old. How could he possibly go to a hospital to be a mortuary attendant? Hmm, the closest hospital to us is in Daliege at the foot of the mountain, which takes a whole afternoon to walk to."

"Brought back to the village?" Liya asked keenly.

She tilted her head slightly, producing a tinkling sound.

Pierre nodded:

"Then, he followed Aurore and took the surname 'Li', and even the name 'Lu Mian' was chosen by Aurore."

"I've forgotten what I was originally called." Lu Mian took a sip of absinthe and said with a grin.

It seemed that he felt no inferiority or shame at all about his past being exposed like this.
