"is it here?"
Jenkins lowered his voice subconsciously, worried about spoiling the quiet atmosphere of the cemetery. Standing in this fog-shrouded place is what it feels like, and the voice of the old man is also very low:
"It should be here, I'll go and see first."
He walked a few quick steps and talked to the police detective in plain clothes before Jenkins took the cat across the cordon to observe the situation.
The scene was very bad. Mrs. Geert, whom she had only met the day before, was lying on her back in front of her husband's tombstone. The blood from her broken skull had dried up and turned black. Around her were the corpses of the children, with different fatal injuries, but they didn't look like they were killed by a sharp edge like a sword.
But the biggest problem at the scene was the damaged tombs. With Mr. Geert's "neighbor" on the left as the center, all five tombs on the left and right were in the shape of broken soil. It didn't look like it was dug up, but it looked like something crawled out from the inside.
"No, didn't you say that after the great plague 30 years ago, most of the corpses were cremated and then buried?"
Jenkins wondered secretly.
At this time, the father had already learned the general situation from the police officers. Seeing that Jenkins was still observing the tomb, he ordered softly:
"Check to see if there are any strange things or people around here."
He knew that Jenkins had a high sensitivity to spirits, so he made this request.
Jenkins immediately opened his eyes of reality to scan the surroundings, and quickly shook his head:
"It's probably 'clean' around here. Dad, these graves..."
"empty."
The old man knew what Jenkins wanted to ask, he bent down and grabbed a handful of dirt under Jenkins' surprised gaze, then put it in front of his nose and sniffed:
"Sure enough, the stench of the undead."
Jenkins couldn't smell anything, but he trusted Dad's conclusions quite a bit. Judging from the situation at the scene, it is obvious that the Gelt family unfortunately encountered an undead resuscitation incident. Maybe even the murdered undead was the bones of Mr. Gelt...
Everyone knows that this is not a coincidence. In a cemetery blessed by [Death and the Church of the Last Days], it is impossible for a natural resurrection of the undead to occur.
"Father, why was Gelt's body sent to the cemetery so quickly?"
He wanted to find some clues in this regard.
The policemen were busy around the two, and the young policeman wondered why there were two irrelevant people standing here, but after asking quietly, he was immediately forbidden to speak.
"Gelt's matter can be easily determined, and there is no need to waste the resources of the Carfax field. There is no problem in this regard, and the problem only appeared after the corpse came here."
Looking towards the way they came, another group of bestowers was approaching in the depths of the mist. Judging from the number of magical abilities, this is obviously a team from the Orthodox Church.
"Why are there corpses, don't they need to be cremated?"
Jenkins asked again.
"Thirty years have passed since that incident. You have to know that thirty years can easily make people forget those terrible memories."
Dad sighed, he also heard footsteps at this time, and turned around to meet the approaching people.
From the depths of the fog came a procession of men in black priestly robes, each with a hood and holding a black book inlaid with gold.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is the priest who is responsible for blessing and praying for the cemetery, but Jenkins understands that this is the core combat force of the [Church of Death and the End] - the grave guard team.
"Father."
The person at the head knew Papa, so he reached out and shook hands with Papa. Jenkins didn't know who it was because he couldn't see the face clearly because of the hood, but he presumably had seen it before, because he also nodded at the young writer.
"The undead have revived, and your supervision is not in place."
Dad said, pointing to the broken tombs. The hooded man was silent for a while, and then said in a low tone:
"We'll investigate."
After that, there was nothing about Jenkins and Dad, and the grave guards took over the work of the police to continue the investigation. But regardless of the outcome of the investigation, it is unlikely that the dead Mrs. Geert and her three children will be brought back to life.
These people had nothing to do with Jenkins, but he was still very angry. Jenkins does not consider himself a saintly figure. If such a thing happened to a strange family passing by on the street, he might just sigh and be curious about the truth of the matter. But this family has already had a relationship with him. The kind woman yesterday even wanted to invite him to sit in the house for a while before leaving.
"Anger will go to your head and make you do irrational things. A qualified giver should control his emotions reasonably. I once said this."
When the two walked out of the cemetery together, the old man warned.
"I see."
He shook his head, took a deep breath, and coughed as he choked on the strange smell in the air.
"Ahem... but this is really... sorry, I can't find a good adjective to describe it."
"I understand what you mean, but you have to believe in the ability of the Orthodox Church. Hmph~ the resurrection of the undead in the public cemetery even caused the death of civilians. Power to catch the murderer, or this matter will be laughed at by us heretics for decades."
What Dad said was very reasonable, and Jenkins understood it too. But the scene of the corpses he saw just now made his anger not disappear even now.
"Also, the things here may have something to do with the undead you met. The possibility of two necromology researchers appearing in Nolan City at the same time is very low."
The old man's words hadn't finished yet. Looking back at the place where the crowd was standing, most of the policemen were also preparing to leave.
"Then will the Church of the Sages also participate in this matter?"
"Not necessarily, but if the resurrection of the undead appears in more places, forming an urban disaster like the vampire, then all local churches will participate in the investigation."
Today was Saturday, and it was also the time when Miss Stuart's hunting ended. When Jenkins came to Loen sullenly, a group of people were heading towards the assembly point. Although no prey was hunted, Her Royal Highness had a great time, so this hunting was considered a complete success.
Jenkins doesn't know how to ride a horse, and he doesn't want to be led by the ladies to ride on a horse, so after obtaining consent, he released his skeleton horse as a mount.
Although it looks scary, it is extremely obedient. Even though Jenkins already had a unicorn, he was still reluctant to sell the bone whistle that summoned it in a hurry. Even though there was a similar idea at Mr. Hood's party, there has been no active search for a buyer since then.
