The interior was quite rudimentary, simply smoothed over with cement, with lime scattered all over the basement floor, and a faint smell of tar permeating every area.
This was the unique scent produced after burning fat, fermented over a long time.
The scent molecules had strong adhesive properties; they could linger indefinitely in non-ventilated areas and could persist for ten to fifteen days in ventilated areas, thus, normally, the basement was not a good place for burning bodies.
Venting the fumes was troublesome.
The basement was small.
Four people took about seven or eight steps before reaching the end.
Here was an old-fashioned furnace about two meters high and slightly wider, similar in shape to Hua Country's alchemy furnace on top of which was an oil-spraying device that looked quite ancient. There was still a smell of kerosene, somewhat reminiscent of products from a century ago.
Beside the furnace, some shattered bone fragments were visible.
