Inside Virtue City Funeral Home, Wen Yan was still listening to his Grand Uncle Master talk about what this so-called ascension really meant.
Suddenly, the crackling sound of firecrackers erupted outside. Wen Yan glanced back and saw thick clouds of smoke billowing up.
Someone setting off firecrackers?
He instantly remembered what the director had said earlier—remember the employee code.
Before he could do anything, some of the funeral home's staff had already rushed over with fire extinguishers. Someone else grabbed a big broom, sweeping the burning firecrackers over next to a garbage bin.
Then, with a forceful motion, they flipped the cartoonish-looking bin over, trapping the firecrackers inside.
At the bottom of the garbage bin, a hose was connected, and the built-in extractor fan immediately started up, sucking out the smoke from the firecrackers.
But still, some smoke billowed up, its acrid scent beginning to spread through the air.
