Of course, Leif Keynes didn't feel that those who applied with him were qualified to compete with him for the position, and most of the applicants were civilians from the South New District or further afield, and there was no comparison with his status as a 'former Chamber of Commerce employee'!

After all, in the reincarnation town controlled by the Chamber of Commerce, the 'Chamber of Commerce Employees' have extremely high credibility!

"Congratulations, Mr. Vannes!" said the head of the cemetery, Mr. Morvach, grinning and holding out his right hand to Leif Keynes.

"Cairns!" Leif Cairns smiled and shook Mr. Morwach's large hand.

"What?" Morvach looked at Leif Keynes quizzically.

"My name is Keynes, Leif Keynes!" Leif smiled.

"Oh, oh, I'm sorry!" said Mr. Morwach with an apologetic smile, "You only need to come to work tomorrow, but there's something tricky at the moment!".

"Command, Mr. Cemetery Master!" Leif Keynes nodded slightly.

"Our grave keeper, Mr. Jeffrey Crane, he didn't come to work today, God knows if he was sick or in which bar, there's no denying that he's a good guy, but you know, people, there's always some 'hobbies', and if he doesn't come today, the cemetery won't be patrolled at night!" Mr. Morwach rubbed his hands together and looked at Leif Keynes expectantly.

I don't know!" Keynes replied inwardly, smiling politely, "Mr. Cemetery Master, I am willing to work on a temporary shift!".

"Smack!".

Morwach slapped his palms vigorously, and said with a smile: "That's really helpful, don't worry, I promise that tomorrow morning, Mr. Jeffrey Crane will definitely show up, and you will have your independent and bright office!"

Leif Keynes smiled and nodded, he did not try to shirk this temporary job, after all, the "job posting" clearly stated that "those who accept night shifts and temporary transfers are preferred"!

He didn't want to upset his boss on his first day on the job.

When Leif Keynes led the hound Rose all the way to talk about his tragic experience, he was pleasantly surprised to find that he had finished patrolling the cemetery, and not far away, the cemetery management office was lit up with lights that made him feel at ease!

At that moment, Leif Keynes heard a "thump, thump, thump", like the sound of someone throwing a heavy object on the ground in mid-air.

Leif Keynes's newly relaxed mood instantly became tense, and Rose, the hound, barked wildly, violently broke free of Keynes, and ran towards the place where the sound was made.

"Rose, Rose, come back!" Keynes's face turned pale, his only recourse disappeared into the night, and he was even more frightened when he was alone, and called out to Rose through the darkness, and all that came back was Rose's bark.

After thinking carefully about whether it was safe to stay still or safer to follow Rose, Keynes decided to choose the latter, turning up the brightness of the nightlight to the maximum, and walked in the direction of Rose's barking with trembling legs.

Fortunately, after crossing a path, Leif Keynes saw Rose, not far from the caretaker's cabin, in a corner of the cemetery wall, and the light of the aetheric street lamp outside the wall illuminated it very brightly, which made Leif Keynes feel a little reassured.

He saw Rose, the hound, barking at a cart.

"Alright, good dog, stop barking, it's just a cart!" Leif Keynes stepped forward, trying to calm the agitated Ross, glancing at the trolley by the way.

In the next second, Leif Keynes, who saw the contents of the cart, could not restrain the various undigested food that poured up from his stomach, and rushed to the side and vomited frantically regardless of etiquette.

Inside the trolley bucket, there are pieces of corpses that have been neatly cut, with hands, feet and internal organs!

Leif Keynes vomited for a while, and could no longer restrain the fear in his heart, and even crawled on his knees and ran towards the caretaker's cabin not far away, even ignoring Rose!

He rushed into the hut, locked the door, and shuddered in his pockets for a note left for him by the head of the cemetery, Mr. Morwach, with his telephone number.

"Who?" Morwach's confused voice came from the other end of the microphone.

"Mo... Mr. Erwach, it's me, Keynes, there are, there's corpses, piece by piece, that's it... No, no, it fell from the sky!" Keynes said incoherently.

"Got it!" said Mr. Morvach, in a calm tone, "is it in the trolley?"

"Huh?" Keynes was stunned, "yes!"

"You just push the cart outside the incinerator, someone will take care of it early tomorrow morning!" Morwach said and hung up the phone.

"Hey, hey, Mr. Morvach?" said Keynes, stunned as he took the microphone.

Ten minutes later, Leif Keynes, who had plucked up his courage, walked out of the caretaker's hut, he had done a long time of psychological construction, since Mr. Morvach was so calm, then he had nothing to fear, although he didn't know why the corpse fell from the sky, but since Mr. Morvach had ordered, he didn't want to see the disappointed eyes of the cemetery master early tomorrow morning!

Trembling back to the trolley, Leif Keynes found that Rose was missing, and he mustered up the courage of his life to look at the trolley bucket, and found that the corpse parts inside seemed to have been turned over by something, and the number was significantly reduced!

"Crunch!", "Crunch!".

The sound of chewing came from the darkness, as if someone was hiding somewhere to nibble on a Bavarian leg of lamb, a famous delicacy in Midtown, goats from the northern mountains, served with various spices, and finally smeared with honey, the fragrance was overflowing, and it was a favorite of his son Joseph.

But apparently, no one would come to the Canal Cemetery in the middle of the night to eat a Bavarian roast leg of lamb!

Leif Keynes hurriedly shone the nightlight in the direction of the sound, and then regretted his decision on the spot

In the light of the lamp, he saw a man slowly walk out, covered in carrion, with his hair falling out, and the sides of his cheeks festering so that he could see the teeth on his cheeks!

"Living corpse!" Leif Keynes thought of the word, and he felt his blood turn cold.

He had never seen a living corpse, only a tabloid tofu block story, supposedly the creation of an illegal necromancer, and occasionally found in the southern slums.

The

'living corpse' clutched a fresh arm in his hand, apparently just taken from the cart, and he devoured it with relish like a Bavarian leg of lamb, and hobbled towards Leif Keynes.

Leif Keynes's legs were completely blood-defying at the moment, and he only took half a step back before falling to the ground, and he swore that he would never eat Bavarian roast lamb shank again in his life, if there was still one in this life!

"Help. Help!" Keynes let out a terrible cry, but he found that he had lost even the strength to shout, and the cry for help was so weak that he could barely hear it!

The living corpse approached step by step, and Mr. Keynes reluctantly retreated on the ground, his mind blank, praying, yes, I will pray, but to which god to pray?

"Bluff!".

Rose the hound jumped out of nowhere, stopping between the living corpse and Keynes, who saw Rose like a savior, "Help!"

Maybe it was this shout that provoked the living corpse, or maybe it was Rose's provocative low roar that upset the living corpse, in short, the living corpse dropped its arms and sped up its pace towards Ross and Keynes!

"Wow!" Keynes clenched his head, but he saw something more terrifying happening

Rose, the hound, was not afraid of the living corpse, and after barking at the living corpse a few times, he suddenly opened his bloody mouth, and Mr. Keynes swore that he had never seen a dog with such a wide mouth in his life!

The

whole face of the hound Rose split directly into four petals like a flower blooming, each with countless sharp teeth inside, and at the same time, the two dog eyes also became twelve, and each petal had three eyes on its mouth!

In the frightened eyes of Leif Keynes, Rose the hound jumped high, and the four-petaled mouth directly wrapped the head of the living corpse, and with a pull, the living corpse lost its head and fell tremblingly.

Rose's four-petaled mouth closed and chewed for a while, flesh spilling out of the cracks in the corners of his mouth, and then, as if it had not eaten enough, it continued to gnaw on the body of the living corpse.

Leif Keynes's scalp tingled as he watched Rose devour the living corpse, and a thought flashed through his mind: if it wasn't full, would it be its turn next?

At this moment, a whistle sounded in the darkness, and Keynes was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out, only to see a glimmer of fire, followed by the light of a cigarette, and a slender figure walked out of the darkness.

Rose, hearing the whistle, immediately stopped eating, and happily came to the figure and wagged his tail in a very flattering manner.

"Don't be afraid!" the figure spoke, his voice low and hoarse, "I am human!"

Keynes heard the voice of a man, swallowing the heart stuck in his throat back into his stomach, but still unable to speak, and he saw the man coming to the lamplight, a gray-haired man, his right eye covered by hair, his beard unkempt, and wearing a beige linen short-sleeved shirt.

The

gray-haired man came to Keynes, looked down at Keynes for a while, and then nodded slightly, "Yes, still rational! Morwach is too messy! Let the newcomer keep vigil! What about Jeffrey Crane?".

Keynes still couldn't say a word!

"With Rose's protection tonight, nothing will happen, but if you don't want to die, resign tomorrow!" the gray-haired man turned to leave.
