The Night Watchman at the Funeral Home

My name is Lu Chen. To save money, I took a night-shift job paying over ten thousand yuan a month: night watchman at the Chengnan Funeral Home.

On my first day, the old director handed me a yellowed copy of The Night Watchman's Rules: At one in the morning, don't listen to crying. At two, don't look in mirrors. At three, don't patrol the morgue. At four, don't answer anyone who speaks to you. Before five, you must hide in the duty room... or face the consequences.

I thought it was just a prank to scare the new guy, until one night, when I broke rule three while picking up a coin that had rolled to the morgue door...

A rusty body drawer opened by itself. A cold whisper echoed beside my ear, and my reflection in the mirror was smiling at me!

At the brink of death, I awakened my own “innate gift”: the [Domain of Rebirth], which can devour the lingering thoughts of the dead and wield the breath of annihilation!

It turns out this world was never at peace. The funeral home is the final outpost guarding the boundary between life and death, and I, an unremarkable night watchman, am the one who truly makes the living keep their distance!
