Although you'll definitely be met with cold shoulders or even driven away if you talk to them about this kind of thing, if you really think about it, it is indeed a very good business opportunity!
Many adventurers die silently somewhere, their last wishes unfulfilled, or even their bodies fall into the mouths of wild beasts, never finding peace.
But as long as they report to the Hall of Rebirth before taking the risk, they can go to that place and bring back his remains!
Whether entrusted to relatives, friends, or drifted away with the wind to the sea, it will eventually find its final resting place.
Brilliant! That's a brilliant idea!
Chapter 5 What a huge pie!
She cleared her throat and said seriously, "Jiang Bai, from now on you will be the number one person in our 'Returning to Roots' business team at the Rebirth Hall!"
Jiang Bai tilted his head.
Stepping on the stones, she put her arm around Jiang Bai's shoulder, waved her small hand forward, and said with great enthusiasm:
"From now on, everyone will know about our Liyue Resurrection Hall, and the entire Teyvat will sing the praises of you, Jiang Bai, the Soul Ferryman! Wanderers await your arrival to bring them home, departed adventurers will have their final wishes fulfilled, and lost souls will find their resting place..."
Hearing Hu Tao's eloquent words, Jiang Bai only saw a huge pancake rushing towards him, engulfing him completely.
Jiang Bai tried taking a bite; it was crunchy and hard.
Hu Tao patted his shoulder, her face still flushed from excitement: "What do you think? Isn't my idea pretty good!"
Faced with his superior, the lowly subordinate Jiang Bai could only force a smile and applaud in agreement, "Not bad, very good! The leader's business acumen is truly top-notch!"
Searching for a body whose whereabouts are unknown and then sending it back to its homeland sounds like hard labor, tiring, troublesome, and time-consuming, and it might even be dangerous.
However, the humble Xiao Jiang, who had just arrived, could not refuse. She could only accept this difficult task with tears in her eyes, while wearing a grateful smile that said, "The leader is so kind to me."
"I need to think this over carefully and come up with a process with the ceremonial staff. You can just browse around on your own!" With that, Hu Tao patted her bottom, turned around and disappeared, leaving Jiang Bai standing there in a daze.
A gust of wind blew by, sending fallen leaves swirling in a circle.
I promised to take him to the backyard, but he doesn't even know where he's sleeping tonight!
There was nothing Jiang Bai could do; the fiery and impulsive Master was always on a whim, so he had no choice but to suppress his sadness and fend for himself.
Jiang Bai wandered around the Hall of Rebirth alone, greeting everyone he met. In less than half a day, everyone in the Hall of Rebirth knew that a new employee had come to the hall, personally recruited by the hall master. He was a pitiful person with amnesia.
Amidst the sympathetic glances of his colleagues, Jiang Bai, satisfied, arrived at his room with the towels, cups, toothbrushes, and even a new set of clothes they had given him, led by his colleagues.
He found that the identity of being an amnesiac was quite useful. Many people would unconsciously soften their voices after learning about it, and even some serious people would become more gentle. Some kind-hearted girls would even refrain from showing any sympathy, so as not to make him feel sad.
But for Jiang Bai, none of these matters!
If there's anything good about it, then feel free to offer your sympathy!
Because he wanted to try sleeping in a coffin, several pallbearers had already placed it in his room. A black coffin sat against the side of the relatively empty room.
Surprisingly, it's quite like a shrine for the deceased.
Although there was a coffin, the bed still had everything it needed. The bed had a new cotton quilt made this year, and the sheets, duvet cover, and pillows were all neatly arranged.
The room is also very well lit; sunlight streams through the windows and shines on the desk, making the whole room bright.
There are also some shelves, wardrobes and other furniture scattered around the room, all of which are empty, waiting for its owner to add items.
It must be said that the treatment at the Rebirth Hall is really quite good.
Not only are all meals included, but accommodation is also in single rooms. Even if you don't participate in Walnut's "Returning to Roots" project, you can still work as a ritual attendant at the Rebirth Hall.
Jiang Bai took a walk around his room and was quite satisfied.
“Big Qiuqiu is sick, Second Qiuqiu, please take a look…” Jiang Bai took his clothes and headed to the bathing area, intending to give himself a good wash and change into new clothes.
He had just snorted when he suddenly stopped in his tracks and slapped himself.
Good heavens, the song the hall master is humming must be toxic. His head is full of this stuff now, and that weird melody just keeps popping out of his head.
"Knife, knife, knife, a butcher's knife..." Jiang Bai racked his brains and forcibly found this melody in his mind, which finally suppressed that big hill and second hill.
'Could I have been a pig butcher before?'
With these questions in mind, Jiang Bai went into the bathroom and took his first shower in who knows how long.
Warm water flowed down from the showerhead. Jiang Bai took off his clothes and discovered that his seemingly thin body actually hid quite a bit of muscle. His abdominal muscles were clearly defined, and when he poked one, it was rock hard.
Looking back on how I kicked the nailed coffin lid away, it doesn't seem so hard to understand having muscles.
After taking a shower, he walked to the mirror, and a handsome face appeared in the mirror.
This face has very white skin, like a sickly pallor caused by not seeing the sun for a long time. It has short white hair, but the features are quite striking. Under the warm yellow light, the pupils take on a dark gold color.
The corners of her eyes are also slightly different from ordinary people, as if she has her own eyeshadow. When she blinks, you can see a faint red tinge.
His eyes lacked luster, and when he was expressionless, he seemed uninterested in everything, even his golden pupils appeared dim.
Jiang Bai looked at the face and couldn't tell whether it was familiar or unfamiliar. It was as if he was used to seeing it and felt nothing.
He controlled the muscles in his face and revealed a bright smile. With that smile, his demeanor instantly changed, transforming him from a cynical young man who had no interest in anything into a sunny and kind older brother next door.
Looking at himself in the mirror, he tilted his head, his smile narrowed, turning into a thin line with one end pointing upwards.
Suddenly, his demeanor changed again, and a villainous aura emanated from him.
"How interesting, what kind of person am I?" These expressions have become muscle memory; before the brain can even process the thoughts, the expressions have already followed the muscle memory.
"And what does this tattoo mean...?"
His gaze fell on a black tattoo on his left shoulder. The tattoo was a black inverted triangle, inside which was a smaller gold equilateral triangle, dividing the large triangle into several smaller equilateral triangles.
After studying it for a while without finding anything, Jiang Bai put it aside.
He can't remember anything except his name now, and he's too lazy to think about it.
What is destined to be yours will eventually come to you; if you can't remember it, don't force it.
He still has all his common sense, so it doesn't affect his life. Besides, the identity of someone with amnesia is actually quite useful...
Speaking of common sense, the place he originally lived in should not be too different from here, otherwise common sense would not be applicable.
But Hu Tao's ability to turn into a butterfly, for example, is clearly beyond his common sense.
He combed his wet hair, which was covering his forehead, back to reveal his forehead and smiled at himself in the mirror.
From today onwards, he is a member of the Hall of Rebirth.
He will gradually learn the common sense of this world.
Chapter 6 Sleeping in a coffin is so comfortable
It was late at night, and the Rebirth Hall was quiet.
Jiang Bai lay in the coffin fully clothed, feeling quite fascinated.
The coffin was quite wide; after he lay down, there was still a fist-sized space on each side to move around, and his legs could be fully stretched out. The coffin lid had been kicked off during the day, but it was still intact, which shows that the quality of the coffin produced by Wangshengtang was quite good.
He tried to close the coffin lid, and suddenly the small space became pitch black.
All surrounding sounds were cut off, and Jiang Bai could only hear his own heartbeat, slow and steady, one beat after another.
For some reason, he didn't feel oppressed or suffocated in such a small space. On the contrary, the feeling of being enveloped gave him a strange sense of security.
"I think I was lying like this before I woke up..." Jiang Bai placed his hands on his abdomen, imagining himself as a corpse.
"But why did I come back to life? Or was my body just in a state of suspended animation?"
He was naturally curious about his situation, but his mind was blank and he couldn't recall anything at all.
As for analytical reasoning...
Aside from the tattoo on his arm, he had no other distinctive features. The only thing that could be used as a clue in the deduction was the clothes he wore at the beginning.
The clothes were very different from the clothes worn by the residents of Liyue Harbor that I saw today, both in style and design. But the world is so big, and the clothing habits and customs of each place are different. Maybe he just likes to be different?
As for the names, Hu Tao said they are very similar to the naming practices of the Liyue people.
However, he knew very little about this world. He had only just arrived in Liyue, so how could he possibly know anything about other countries?
After thinking about it for a while but not coming up with any conclusion, Jiang Bai stopped thinking about it, opened a crack to let in some fresh air, and fell asleep.
......
The next morning, while Jiang Bai was still asleep, there was a loud knocking on his door.
Master Hu showed no signs of early morning fatigue, his voice brimming with energy: "Get up! The sun's already high in the sky! If you don't get up, the Hilichurls are going to beat you up!!"
Jiang Bai covered his ears and turned over, but the sound was getting closer and closer.
With a loud crash, his coffin lid was ripped open.
"Hey, you're sleeping pretty comfortably!"
As light shone into the coffin, it also revealed Hu Tao's large face, which was looking down at a 180° angle.
It took Jiang Bai a while to adjust to the suddenly brighter light before he sat up from the coffin.
Seeing the hall master already dressed, Jiang Bai rubbed his eyes and said sleepily, "Hall master, why did you lift the coffin lid off me?"
"I knocked on the door for ages and no one answered. I was a little worried that something might have happened to you. There was no one in bed, so I was afraid you'd suffocate in the coffin!" Hu Tao said, circling the coffin with her hands behind her back.
"I don't want to hold funerals for the same person two days in a row!"
"I think that if we held two funerals for the same person, it would make headlines in Liyue Harbor..."
"No need to exaggerate. Your resurrection has become a local legend in Liyue Harbor."
Hu Tao rolled her eyes. She thought Hu Tao was dreaming, wanting Hu Tao to give her two free funerals!
"So fast!" Jiang Bai was somewhat surprised. Although he knew that such strange news spread quickly, had he already become a legend in just one day?
He climbed out of the coffin, pushed the coffin lid back into place, and stretched.
Hu Tao plopped down on the coffin lid, swinging her legs back and forth. "How does it feel to sleep in a coffin?"
"It's alright, quite comfortable~" Jiang Bai slept very soundly and woke up feeling refreshed.
Hu Tao scanned him up and down, looking at him as if he were a strange person.
She only occasionally lay down in the coffin; if she slept there overnight, she would wake up the next day with a headache and bone pain. Because the space inside was too small, she liked to move around while sleeping, lying sideways, diagonally, or on her side—whatever was comfortable for her.
However, the coffin severely hampered her ability to turn over at night, and the thin air inside meant that even with a gap, she still felt a lack of oxygen.
This guy, on the other hand, acts like nothing happened.
Out of concern for her subordinates, Hu Tao still offered a few words of advice: "Next time you sleep, don't close the coffin lid completely; remember to leave a gap, or go find Master Cui, the coffin maker, and have him make a few air holes for you..."
"Um......"
"Hurry up and wash up! We have to go to Bubulu early, otherwise we'll have to wait in line for a long time!" Hu Tao urged.
As the most renowned medical clinic in Liyue Harbor, Bubulu attracts many patients, so arriving early will naturally allow you to finish your treatment sooner.
"Bu Bu Lu?" Jiang Bai asked, puzzled.
"Yes, didn't I say yesterday that I would take you to see about your amnesia?"
Jiang Bai responded with an "oh," thinking that Hu Tao had just mentioned it casually, but he hadn't expected her to remember it all this time.
Just as she was getting ready to leave, she ran into Zhongli, who was carrying a birdcage and also about to go out.
Inside the cage was a rather beautiful bird, with vibrant feathers and lively eyes, preening itself.
He got up quite early; before anyone else in the Rebirth Hall was even up, he was already dressed, carrying his birdcage, and ready to go out.
He's clearly still young, but for some reason he looks like an old man who gets up early and takes a birdcage for a walk.
Good morning, Mr. Zhongli.
"Good morning to you too," Zhongli replied with a faint smile. "How did you sleep last night? Did you adjust well?"
"Not bad, it would be even better if I didn't have to be woken up so early in the morning." Jiang Bai looked at Hu Tao next to him with a helpless expression.
This man possessed an inexplicable aura, and even Jiang Bai, who was usually unserious, couldn't help but subconsciously restrain his impulsive thoughts and give a serious answer when he was around him.
Zhongli looked at Hu Tao, who had already put her hands on her hips and pouted, and a faint smile appeared on her lips. "Hehe, the hall master always does things as he pleases. You'll get used to it in the future."
He could tell that Jiang Bai was adapting very well.
"You all go ahead with your work, I'm leaving now." With that, he put one hand behind his back, carried the birdcage in the other, and strode across the threshold and out.
Watching Zhongli's retreating figure, Jiang Bai sighed, "Mr. Zhongli is so leisurely..."
