To Write Ghost Stories, I Carry Corpses at the Funeral Home

Lu Ming is a washed-up writer. Desperate for inspiration, he resolutely takes a part-time job at a funeral home.

His duties are to carry corpses and work the night shift.

He thought the quiet surroundings would be ideal for writing, but the place turns out to be livelier at night than during the day.

As he carries a corpse, he feels something tapping against his back.

Back in the duty room, he is just reassuring himself that it was nothing when a line of text suddenly appears on his computer:

I moved a little. Did you feel it?

Lu Ming freezes on the spot.

That night is terrifying.

The next day, a police officer looks at Lu Ming suspiciously. “It wasn’t an accident? Who told you that?”

“The deceased did,” Lu Ming says in a distant voice.

A clear, ethereal female voice echoes in his ear: “Are you Lu Ming?”

Lu Ming encounters a Supernatural event right after starting the job, but his way of exorcising spirits is refreshingly down-to-earth: he reasons with them.

He knows no spells, rituals, or exorcism hand seals. He relies entirely on reasoning.

Lu Ming: “If the laws of the living world can’t punish you, then I’ll take a ghost to file a lawsuit in the underworld! I’ll wager my life against yours!”

People say he is a highly skilled exorcist, but in truth, it is simply how he survives.
