The Beginning of Grave Digging

Su Mo killed his wife, right at that moment, right at home.

Su Mo looked at the scene before him, somewhat distracted. In a bedroom, his hands were strangling a woman's neck.

The woman's face was purple and swollen, her eyes rolled back, and her tongue stuck out slightly. She was no longer breathing.

Then, a huge amount of information surged into his mind. It felt like his head exploded with pain, but it disappeared instantly.

After regaining his senses, Su Mo looked at the woman's corpse again, with a strange smile on his face, and murmured, "Transmigration? And I killed my own wife too, how interesting."

He casually threw the corpse on the floor, then walked out of the bedroom and sat on the sofa. He picked up a glass of water from the coffee table, took a sip, then crossed his hands and started thinking.

"I now have three options.

One, call the police and turn myself in, accidental manslaughter, probably get a few years in prison.

Two, run away. The situation of this world is almost the same as my original world. The chance of successful escape is not high. And even if I successfully escape, there will still be trouble afterwards.

Three, get rid of evidence from the scene and exonerate myself. Hmm, I'm very good at this."

Having obtained all the memories of the original body, he had some understanding of this world and its surroundings. So he soon came up with a solution.

He took out his phone and looked at the time, it was half past eleven. Then he went into the bedroom, found his wife's phone, and took out the SIM card.

After breaking the SIM card into pieces and flushing it down the toilet, he went to the bathroom window and looked outside.

"Nice weather tonight, the moonshine is so beautiful," he said with an appreciative look.

Then he walked out of the bathroom again and found his favorite military shovel from the pile of junk at home.

The original owner of this body was also called Su Mo. He was 24 years old and had just been discharged from the military not long ago. He brought back a military shovel that he liked very much.

Su Mo was not in a hurry. He moved at a steady pace, almost rhythmically.

He put the corpse and the military shovel in the living room, then gently opened the door to look left and right. Good, no one's around.

His home was on the second floor of an old six-story building. There were no surveillance cameras or even elevators. Plus, the residents here were mostly middle-aged and elderly people who went to bed very early.

After checking the outside, he put on a pair of sneakers and jumped twice. He was very satisfied. The shoes were flexible and would not make any loud sounds.

Then he carried the woman's corpse on his back, took the military shovel, and walked out the door.

After leaving the residential area, he followed a small path up the mountain to avoid surveillance cameras.

While walking, Su Mo calculated in his mind, "It's about five kilometers from here to the cemetery, should take just over an hour to get there."

After going through the plans again, he looked at the woman's head on his shoulder and said with a laugh, "You know, you're already married. Why do you still go out clubbing every day?

As if going clubbing is not enough, you even cuckolded me. Look, you're dead now. People are sometimes like this, always feeling like everything is under their control."

In the middle of the night, a man walked on the mountain road, carrying a corpse on his back, talking to himself as he headed towards the cemetery in the distance.

About an hour and a half later, Su Mo finally arrived at the cemetery, not from the front entrance, but from the hillside.

The fence around the cemetery was not meant to defend against anything. It just served as a marker to let people know that this was a cemetery, don't come here if there's no business.

Su Mo threw the corpse on the ground, then took out his phone to check the time. It was one o'clock. Then he dialed the woman's number again, of course no one picked up.

After a short break, he picked up the corpse again, threw it over the fence into the cemetery, and climbed in with the military shovel.

The cemetery was quiet in the middle of the night. Occasionally there was the sound of gusting winds, and some paper ashes floated up from the graves, looking mysterious and tranquil under the moonlight.

After walking around for more than ten minutes, he finally found a newly buried grave. Choosing a new one had two advantages. One, the soil was loose and easy to dig open. Two, it would not arouse suspicion. Since it was a new grave, it looking like someone had dug it up was normal.

He walked around the grave and nodded to himself, "It was probably buried yesterday or today. The flowers haven't withered yet. This one will work."

Then he started digging with the military shovel, complaining while digging, "Can't believe the first thing I did after transmigrating was grave robbing. Haha, how amusing, how amusing!"

The duty staff at the cemetery were just there for show. Usually no one was here at night. Even if someone was here, they would lock up and sleep in the duty room. So no one would know that Su Mo was digging a grave in the rear of the cemetery in the middle of the night.

After digging for about an hour, he finally unearthed the coffin. He quickly cleaned up the surrounding area so that the coffin was completely exposed.

He pried at it with the shovel and then pushed hard. The coffin opened and there was an old man inside.

Su Mo put the woman's corpse into the coffin next to the old man. He looked at the old man with a laugh, "Sir, now I've arranged a maid to serve you down there."

Then he closed the coffin, and started the long process of reburying it. During this time, he kept taking out his phone and calling the woman, though no one picked up. Why he did that will be explained later.

It was around four o'clock when he finally finished restoring the grave. Su Mo was extremely exhausted too. If not for the original body being an ex-military man, an ordinary person really wouldn't have the stamina for this.

He checked the grave a few more times to make sure there were no flaws. Then he picked up the military shovel, climbed out of the cemetery fence, and headed home along the same route.

When he returned home, it was 4:40 am. The trip back was much faster without carrying a corpse.

Of course he did not go to sleep after getting home. He still had a lot more to do. Not sleeping was also part of the plan.

First he thoroughly washed the military shovel and put it back. He also washed his shoes and left them to dry on the balcony.

After this, he started inspecting the house, checking every corner very carefully. He had to make sure there was no trace of his wife coming back home.

When all this was done, it was six o'clock in the morning. He slumped onto the sofa exhaustedly and lit a cigarette.

Leaning against the sofa, he fought the extreme exhaustion because he absolutely could not fall asleep. He had to maintain this tired state.

And so he stayed awake for another two hours, until Su Mo stood up again. He looked exhausted and haggard, but there was a slight smirk at the corner of his mouth. "It's show time."
