At the lakeside, five valuable bodies were loaded onto a body truck.
"You two, follow me..."
The lame Field limped ahead, and the two followed behind.
After going around a muddy stone-paved road, we saw the incinerator with a tall but non-working chimney and the adjacent manager's house.
When the two stepped into the house, a large amount of icy water splashed directly under their feet.
Looking down, I saw a layer of water stains on the ground. No wonder the old man usually wears rain boots.
"Don't mind. This water comes from Lenghu. If the water in the house becomes turbid or the temperature changes, I can detect and deal with the abnormality in Lenghu immediately."
Perhaps due to the efficiency of the two young men, Field's tone became better.
After Yi Chen and Reagan found a seat and sat down, he continued:
"Since you have worked in a cemetery, you should have noticed that the body we just salvaged is not 'mature'. Can you guess the reason?"
Yi Chen immediately gave the answer:
"The expansion of the Gray Zone is unstoppable. Before it reaches the town, all the bodies in the cemetery must be moved. Even the cemetery itself and the entire town must be relocated."
“That’s right, although it will take at least two years for the gray area of Holy Grail Mountain to spread over.
But areas like cemeteries are easily affected in advance, so the transfer of bodies must be put on the agenda.
There is no relocation here. The cemetery depends on Lenghu Lake and cannot be moved to other places.
My old bones are not able to handle more cemetery management work. Once I finish my work here, I will retire completely."
There was a sense of helplessness in the hoarse and bubbling words, as if the most important thing in life was about to be lost.
“You two are lucky to be here at this time.
There are still seventeen hours left until your official departure. You can bury the "cemetery products" you carry with you in the center of the lake and plunder the essence of the corpses that have been deposited in the cold lake for many years.
Take as much as you can, this place will be demolished anyway, nothing will be left behind."
Upon hearing this, Little Grape no longer hid, and came out directly from the collar, saying bluntly:
“There is such a good thing!”
Little Grape itself is very clear about the operation of the cemetery. Every cemetery under the organization has its corresponding "characteristics". If it can seize such characteristics, it will be very helpful for its incomplete cemetery product.
When the old man saw the true appearance of Little Grape, his eyes immediately narrowed into slits.
As someone with decades of experience in cemeteries, he was unable to characterize the small grapes for a moment and found it difficult to determine what kind of cemetery product it was.
The only information available is 'incomplete'.
"Is this a product of the Seven Days Cemetery?"
Before Yi Chen could answer, Little Grape drew a circle with his arms, with all six fingers pointing at him.
“That’s right, this grape is the pinnacle masterpiece created by Mr. Wilbert using the unique mechanism of the Seven Days Cemetery with countless efforts.
"Old man, you keep your word, don't you? That cold lake is a great place. I can absorb all the essence of the dead at the bottom of the lake, right?"
"The lake has been emptied, and this place is about to be abandoned. If you can do it, you can suck the entire lake dry... It will also save me a lot of trouble."
Little Grape was also completely insane, and slapped Yi Chen on the back of his head, "William, let's hurry up!"
Yi Chen was not in a hurry, but asked his teammates, "Reagan, are you going?"
"Fei Yin's form cannot be buried. I will stay here to talk to old Mr. Field about other things."
"OK."
Cold Lake Room,
Yi Chen paddled alone. As the last corpse in the center of the lake was moved away, there were no longer any arms sticking out of the water. It was cold and silent.
Little Grape stood on the shoulder, with one hand on the waist like a captain and the other pointing towards the center of the lake.
His eyeballs were rolling around in his mouth, saliva was constantly overflowing from the corners of his mouth, and he was extremely excited.
“There are many essences buried in this historic cemetery, which will surely help me awaken more memories and become more complete!
By the way, William, what happened to you when you were fishing for the body at the bottom of the lake? Why did you suddenly freeze and even choke on the water? I clearly didn’t feel anything.”
"I saw something ominous."
"Is there something wrong with your mind again? Or did you really see something?"
Yi Chen looked calm as he pointed at the hazy moon hidden behind the clouds in the night sky.
Little Grape immediately understood the meaning, and her high-spirited look suddenly subsided. She retracted her shoulders and only half of her eyeballs were exposed.
"Yue... Hen? No way?"
“I don’t know either, but I’ve had a feeling like I’m being spied on by the moon since I left the city.
The last time we went to the village church, we didn’t have too many concerns because there were trees and high walls at the scene that completely blocked the sky.
But this time out of town, we will be exposed to the night sky the entire time, and even closer to the moon during the climb.”
Little Grape slowly calmed down and said to herself in a self-consoling tone:
“I’ve thought about it carefully. It seems that you got help from Moonlight last time in the village… If Yuehen wanted to kill you, he could have done it while the carriage was on the way. There’s no need to wait until now.
You must have seen it wrong. The "first priority" now is to improve yourself as soon as possible.
Wait until this grape becomes more complete and regains more memories and abilities.
Once you break through the limits of human nature, you will have the capital to confront that guy face to face."
"Yeah." Yi Chen just responded lightly and didn't say much.
Without any obstruction, the wooden boat once again reached the center of the lake where the temperature was the lowest.
Little Grape jumped with his knees bent, and did three and a half somersaults in the air. Everyone thought he would fall directly into the water, but he just landed on the edge of the boat.
"There's not much time left, why don't you go down?"
"Well, I'm currently in an incomplete state. If I were to separate myself from you, I would have no fighting power. Do you understand what I mean?"
Crunch! Crunch!
Soft plant roots shot out from Yi Chen's fingertips and fastened around Little Grape's body like a seat belt.
"I'll stay in the boat until you surface... If there's any problem just pull on the roots and I'll know."
Little Grape gave Yi Chen a thumbs up and dived into the lake.
When it comes to burials, Little Grape is a professional. It found the center of the lake and quickly dug the soil to bury itself.
Black hair grows outwards,
Taste, feel and absorb the essence of Lenghu, the essence of corpses accumulated from decades of burying corpses.
Slowly, the entire lake surface changed due to the burial of Little Grape.
The originally pure and transparent lake water began to show a few black bubbles, and there was even a tendency for the lake water to turn black.
Yi Chen didn't care about these changes.
I didn't care how many grapes I could harvest.
He sat cross-legged in the wooden boat, seemingly thinking about something, seemingly waiting for something... After confirming that Little Grape had entered the state, Ka~
Yi Chen took the initiative to cut off the roots of the plant, temporarily severing the connection with the small grape.
Not long after,
A wooden boat slowly appeared in the pitch-black field of vision. Strangely, the movement of the boat did not create any ripples, as if it was floating on the water.
Due to the distance and the obscuration of fog, the faces and shapes of the passengers on the boat could not be clearly seen.
Not long after, an extremely familiar and dangerous voice came from the other side:
"You seemed to know I was coming."
Yi Chen responded calmly: "The illusion at the bottom of the lake is not a coincidence. Since the signal has been sent, I will naturally respond."
"William, I'm curious. I clearly felt the moon's gaze and I clearly believed that the illusion at the bottom of the lake was a message I deliberately threw out. Why didn't I tell the old man about my possible arrival
That lame old guy is still very powerful. If he is on guard, I won’t dare to show up easily.”
“What’s the point of stopping you at a station on the way
During the climb I got closer to the moon, and once you get close it's only going to get worse... If you want to meet, want to talk, want to sort something out, now is the best time.
It's a good thing for both you and me to make some things clear in advance.
Also, thanks for the moonlight assistance in Jose Valley earlier.”
As the wooden boat got closer, the outlines of the people on board could be barely discerned. Two people were sitting on it, one in front and one behind.
"Don't worry~ I'm not here to kill you this time... I just need you to return the favor I helped you with last time and do me a favor in return."
"What's the matter?"
"Take me to the other end of the passage..."
As he spoke these words, the wooden boat came completely closer.
The silver-haired young man Yuetong seemed to be reunited after a long separation, with a smile from the heart on his face.
There was still a "revealing" female doctor beside him, but her appearance was different. She was no longer responsible for infusions, but had a large number of surgical instruments hanging on her thighs.
