The Death Knight of the Secret World

Chapter 5 0005. First Intimate Contact

Backlund's public carriage system is actually very backward, far worse than the bus that Beomi rides on Earth.And... very expensive!
The stagecoach system is a feat of Tao*Rosell*Witch Needle Not Poking*Huang Dadi. He created this set of things for the first time in this mysterious world and implemented it in his city.

However, because the emperor was a bit obsessed with the witch and couldn't extricate himself, he didn't point out the internal combustion engine technology tree. He just pointed out the direction for the emergence of the steam engine as a theoretical master who had not graduated from junior high school.

However, it is not an egg, because so far...the steam engine has not been fully popularized.

In a world where extraordinary beings exist, people's enthusiasm for technology does not seem to be that high.

Therefore, the public transportation system in the city is actually a horse-drawn carriage.And it's still a four-horse carriage, the carriage is very long, a bit like a bus.

Unfortunately, there is no driver, only a coachman driving a carriage.

By the way, the public transport coachman is similar to the body bearer, and it is also - semi-public.

Moreover, the salary of the coachman is much higher than that of the corpse bearer.The work is decent and the working environment is not bad.

For the first time, the earth traversal **** finds that he has time traversed, and he also got an iron job, and in the end he even envies the bus driver... No, the bus driver.

How can this be justified?

The biggest difference between Backlund's bus coachman and the Earth bus is...it has no fixed stops, that is, the bus stops are not fixed.

Moreover, the bus driver's line does not go to the slums.So Beomie and Arroben got off the bus at the nearest slum and walked back.

The master and apprentice, who didn't have a bite of food early in the morning, could only walk back under the slightly hot sun in May.

Fortunately...the traverser Beomi has a caring younger brother and a landlady who takes good care of them.So not long after he left, Beomy took out two boiled eggs from his pocket, one for Aroben's belly and the other for himself.

"Study hard, and when you become a full-time employee, I can retire!" the hunchback mentor Aruben said to Baomi while eating eggs.

The Corpse Bearer's practice lasted for two and a half years... Bah, it lasted for half a year.Therefore, at the end of this year, the hunchback mentor Aroben can retire honorably, enjoy his retirement life, and hand over the work of dealing with all kinds of corpses to his wronged apprentice Beomi.

When I got home, it was almost eleven o'clock.After properly storing the equipment, Aroben rejected Mrs. Maria's proposal to make them some food pads, and took his handsome apprentice to the nearby police station to grab a meal.

As a municipal unit, the police station provides two working meals, and... unexpectedly rich.

Lunch was eaten at the Chengnan branch office adjacent to the slum area, with black bread, onion cream soup, and fried small fish.

Beomie eats happily, but Aroben is a little upset because the police cafeteria doesn't allow alcohol.

After dinner, A Luoben went to the criminal investigation team to ask if anyone reported to dispose of the corpse today.

He was very lucky, and the Chengnan branch received three reports of disposing of corpses.So, after eating and resting for a while, the master and the apprentice rushed to the crime scene without stopping... to carry the corpse.

In a super city like Backlund with nearly a million people, more than a thousand people die every day, but not all corpses need to be handled by corpse bearers.

Only those unclaimed corpses, such as homeless people, those who died of freezing, starving, being bitten by dogs, dying of rabies, being hit by a carriage...the unclaimed corpses belong to the corpse bearer deal with.

The first work target Beomi saw was a dead body in a small run-down house in a slum.

This is a homeless man in his 30s, with a lame leg, or——his left leg, only two-thirds left, only ten centimeters below the knee, and nothing below it.

This kind of corpse is a typical work-related injury victim in a nearby factory. After the injury, the factory owner will promptly... transfer the injured.

In other words, it doesn't matter where you die, just don't die in my factory.

Victims of work-related injuries do not receive any protection in this era without sound labor laws, and insurance companies have not yet expanded their business to this category, so... once they are injured at work, they can only wait to die.

However, there is still a difference between a work-related injury and a work-related death. If a work-related injury does not result in immediate death, then the factory owner has no responsibility, as long as the injured person is carried out, sent home, or thrown on the street.

If you have a conscience, you will call a doctor to give a simple bandage to stop the bleeding or something.Those who have no conscience just bleed all the way and carry them out to count...

But as long as the worker dies on the spot due to a work-related injury, it is embarrassing, and he will have to pay compensation.

Backlund is still very strict about death registration. Where you die and who is in charge, there is a very thick tome to regulate.

To die in a factory is the responsibility of the factory owner.The factory mainly pays a certain amount of compensation to the families of the victims, and this [certain amount] is very complicated to explain.

Some have to pay a lot, which is equivalent to three to ten years' wages of workers.Some are very perfunctory, just paying one to three months' wages.

The key depends on the performance status of the lawyers who help the factory's main lawsuit.

As for those who were disabled and then did not die on the spot, but died after being thrown outside for a few days, it depends on where they died.

Die in a place with an owner, such as someone's backyard, such as someone's balcony, such as under someone's bed, such as in someone's wardrobe.

Then the head of the household must be held accountable, at least... the head of the household has to pay for the disposal of the corpse.

And if it is serious, there is another charge-murder.That is a criminal case, and it has to be filed.

As for this kind of place where no one cares about dying outside, you have to wait—mainly wait for someone to claim the body.It's best if you have it, and take it back for burial after claiming it.If not, it will be more troublesome, because it has to be taken to the basement of the police station to freeze, and a notice to identify the body will be issued to wait for claim.

Usually it takes three to seven days, if no one claims it, then hand it over to the body bearer, take it to the crematorium outside the city, and burn it.

The body bearer Aroben walked up to the corpse, turned around, and concluded: "It's injured and infected. It's been two days since it died. There's nothing wrong with it. Let's take it away."

Then, the police who were standing tens of meters away from the corpse came over, put away the red police tape, and waited for two [professionals] to dispose of the corpse.

The professional Aroben felt that he wanted to give his apprentices a chance to learn, so he called Beomi over.

"The first rule I'm going to teach you as a corpse bearer today is - don't move the undetermined corpse!" Aroben pointed to the general teacher on the ground: "For example, you have to confirm the approximate cause of death first, and then proceed after confirming the cause of death." other!"

Then, the hunchbacked instructor pointed to the surroundings of the general teacher: "Then, confirm the scene and see if it is murder or murder. If you confirm that it is not, you can do it. But if you can't confirm it, don't move!"

Then, the hunchback instructor went to the two acquainted policemen, asked a few words, walked back, and said to Beomi: "Third, you have to make sure that there are no other problems with this corpse, such as whether there is any Some people, and then you decide whether to move or not!"

"I just asked, this corpse has no family in Backlund, and the factory owner who hired him before doesn't have any legal responsibilities, like this - just accept it!"

Then, Aroben took out a shroud from his equipment bag, and began to instruct Beomi on the spot how to wrap the body. He gave instructions from the side and let Beomi operate it by herself.

Beomi is no stranger to corpses. In the slums, you can't say that you can see them every day, but it's quite normal to see them every now and then.

Therefore, he didn't feel too much discomfort when he personally wrapped the corpse. On the contrary, Abin, the traverser from the earth, was a little resistant to this and expressed that he could not accept it.

However, under the guidance of Arroben, he still took me nearly an hour to complete the entire body wrapping process.

After wrapping it, Beomi ran to the side and vomited...

In fact, the weather in early May, the corpses that had been dead for two days still had some smell.Moreover, the corpse began to ooze, and when it was wrapped, it was slippery and greasy, and it felt a little disgusting.

Beomi vomited up all the fried fish that she ate at noon, and it was a little better. At this time, Aroben handed over a water bottle—this is the equipment in the police station. Because there are dead bodies, I brought it with me for the time being. come out
After gulping several sips of water, gargling his mouth, and washing his face with some water, Beomi began to breathe heavily!
"When I wrapped my body for the first time, I vomited worse than you!" Aruben said.

"It stinks, and...disgusting!" Beomie said truthfully.

"This is just the beginning!" Aroben didn't know whether he was stating or declaring, anyway, Beomi felt that there was something in his words!
