Bab 671: The Intention to Slaughter

Li Fei continued to share his story. "Maybe I was heavily influenced by my senior master, or maybe I was lonely for too long, but for whatever reason, like I said, I developed a particularly keen interest in embalming the dead bodies."

He then went on to talk about his stint as an actual worker. "The funeral parlor was no peaceful and idyllic place, either. I would often see the fickleness of human relationships through my work there. Sometimes, there were even disputes between the families of the deceased that caused the deceased to not be buried in a timely fashion. Those cases would require an embalmer to preserve the dead body. That's why I learned so many things from the senior master."
