By the time Su Luo walked out of the warehouse, it was already 10 p.m.
It's alright, a little earlier than she expected. At least the crematorium doors should still be open.
We need to burn these ghost money coins quickly, otherwise they're just worthless paper.
...
Today is Xiao Wang's first day at work, or rather, his first day working in place of his father, Lao Wang. The crematorium is located in a remote area and is rarely visited. When Xiao Wang arrived, his father had already done most of the work, which was just keeping watch at night.
But keeping watch at the crematorium... I still feel a little guilty about it.
Time passed by, and as a young man, Xiao Wang naturally couldn't resist the onslaught of drowsiness. In his hazy state, he seemed to see a white shadow drift past...
A white shadow?!
Startled awake, Xiao Wang opened his eyes to find a person wearing a white straw hat standing face to face with him.
Damn it, a white straw hat! Who in their right mind would bring something like that to a crematorium at night?!
Muttering something under his breath, Xiao Wang stood up, forcefully suppressing his fear, and asked, "Excuse me, who are you...?"
"Excuse me, could you please burn something?"
"Burn...burn what?" As soon as he asked the question, Xiao Wang almost bit his tongue.

“Yes.” Su Luo didn’t waste any words and threw a card on the table. “There’s 10,000 yuan in here. Burn all this ghost money for me, and all the money inside is yours.”
This... this is really happening?!
Because there was still one crematorium that hadn't been burned tonight, and the furnace at the crematorium was still burning, Xiao Wang might not have experience burning the dead, but how could he not have experience burning paper money? He immediately agreed to Su Luo's request, and diligently served water and tea to the person, treating him as an honored guest.
"Sister, wait here, I'll get these ready."
"I'll make sure it's thoroughly cooked for you."
Just as Xiao Wang was about to get started, Su Luo handed him a piece of paper filled with his birth date and name, and instructed him, "Burn this first."
