My name is Xu Yuan. I am 23 years old. I graduated from a college in funeral management. I work the night shift at the "Anletang Crematorium" in the northern suburbs of Imperial Capital, putting makeup on the dead. I earn a monthly salary of 4,500. I live in a dormitory in the backyard of the crematorium. The window faces the incinerator chimney. My grandfather was the last corpse exorcist in Guizhou Corpse Expulsion Village. Before his death, he left me an iron token with the word "Edict" engraved on it. I kept it as scrap metal at the bottom of my suitcase for three years. Until I was on duty at night, a dead body sat up in front of me, and squeezed out the words "Imperial order... Xu family's order..." From the throat. Policewoman Song Tang stared at me and asked: "Your grandfather Xu Maosheng, did you meet my father five years ago?" I, a loser who puts makeup on dead people, was involved in a series of zombie murders in the Imperial Capital, and the secret of the Imperial Order that had been passed down in my family for three hundred years.
