I Was Turned Into a Mummy

A glossy, mummified corpse was placed in a kneeling position on the dissection table. Since it was heavily dehydrated, the edges of the skin that was flipped over inside out due to it being cut had become stiff. Even the gender of the body was hard to discern. There was nothing left that resembled the person I once was. “Well, Jim?” When Zephyr Howard, a police captain, walked in, his face was grim. “The victim’s face and skin have been horribly mangled. Without a doubt, this is intentional homicide. “Also, the victim’s entire body is covered in pine resin that has unique properties, which is why it’s abnormally stiff. I can’t dissect it by normal methods. For now, I can’t determine the time of death.” Jim Lewis did not look up because he was holding a small electric saw right then and measuring it against my body. “I was just about to talk to you about that.” Zephyr nodded. “We just figured out that the warehouse was abandoned five years ago. The victim’s time of death

When Zephyr heard that, he gave Jim a thumbs-up and said excitedly, “As expected of a wedded couple! We’ll do that!”as Jim frowned. “We’re no longer married. “She’s no longer worthy of being my wife. But she has to pay the price for the damages she caused the country and to Grace.” I could not believe my ears. For Grace’s sake, he was willing to erase all of my past contributions? Those were the results I got after getting my fingers frozen by liquid nitrogen, getting burned by sulfuric acid, risking becoming infertile, and spending countless nights performing experiments and calculations! Those results were more important than my life! “Sorry. It just slipped out,” said Zephyr awkwardly. “You and Grace are getting married soon, and I just...” “It’s fine. But don’t let it happen again.” With an icy face, Jim cleaned up the instruments. “Let’s go. Once I send this fetus to the lab, I have to go back and cook for Grace.” My mind buzzed. When I snapped out of my daze

I knew that Jim did it on purpose. But at that time, it was a crucial moment for an important project for the research lab. I had no time to care about Grace and spent my entire time in the research lab for more than two months before I finally got the most accurate data. It was a huge success. In my excitement, I cried while typing the conclusion of the study into the computer, but I never expected that I would never get to publish this important study. Grace had quietly set up a camera in my lab and soon figured out that I was not as alert as I usually was. “Bad news, Luna. There was a murder case tonight. When Jim was inspecting the body, he suddenly fainted, but we don’t have any extra people, so I need you to take him to the hospital.” She used a voice changer to impersonate Zephyr. I did not suspect anything and hurried over to the location she mentioned, and that was where my life came to an end. “Who would have thought? It’s a beautiful scientist in a white la

At that moment, my heart ached so much I could not breathe.When his parents died, he had to live in poverty, so I took care of him.When it was cold, I bought clothes for him. When he fell sick, I nursed him back to health.When he had his first heartbreak and wept, I was the one who comforted him.He even claimed that I was like his sister, and he would take care of me when I was old.But even he refused to believe I was innocent.He even called me a traitor and an evil person!Just then, a kind voice sounded. “I hope I’m not late.”The crowd parted.A spirited old man with a head full of white hair walked in with a smile and took out two wedding gifts. “Congratulations, Jim and Grace.”He was my beloved teacher and the leading researcher of the lab. He was Professor Luke Young.“Thank you, Professor!” Grace thanked Luke sweetly.Luke then turned to Jim. “Treat Grace well. She suffered a great deal to get to where she is today.”Jim nodded earnestly. “I will.”Jack pout

He dragged me along with him, and I could only watch him as he sped so quickly down the road that his tires almost gave off sparks.He knocked down the barrier in front of the police station.“What’s going on, Mr. Lewis?” The security guard chased after him in shock. “Weren’t you supposed to get married today?”But Jim just ignored him.At that moment, Zephyr was staring at my mummified corpse in the dissection room with a conflicted face. “To think that you died five years ago, Luna. Perhaps we were—”Bam!Jim suddenly barged in and startled Zephyr.But before Zephyr could say anything, Jim grabbed his collar with a panicked face. “Where’s the fetus?! Where is it?!”Zephyr just stared at him for a long while. In the end, he sighed gravely. “You sent the fetus to the lab to be dissected, Jim.”Jim’s hand went limp, and he slid down on the floor.“No… How could it be…?”He trembled and stared at my kneeling corpse with sorrow. “Luna, how could you be dead?”I wonder how.‘Y
