As Yi Chen read the rules one by one,
It is roughly certain that the place I have traveled to is mixed with "weird" factors that the original world does not have.
at the same time,
An unknown crisis is approaching
But he still has a chance.
Following the hint of the last rule, Yi Chen leaned over and looked under the wooden bed.
He moved the movable floor compartment away and grabbed a hand axe of moderate weight from the groove.
“Is this what you call a self-defense tool?”
The axe handle is made of hickory wood, with patterns on the surface to increase friction.
Lightweight, tough and not easy to slip out.
The axe head forged from carbon steel is flawless.
After a special sharpening process, the axe blade is extremely sharp, and the axe blade is silver-plated.
Shiny, hard and destructive,
Buzz~ When I tried to swing the sword, there was a slight sound of breaking wind in the air.
Such a well-crafted hand axe brings an inexplicable sense of security, which slightly eases the tense mood.
"A good self-defense weapon..."
After a simple warm-up, I returned to my desk.
"According to the suicide note, the source of this guy's mistake was Rule 3.
That is, when inspecting Cemetery No. 4, no changes in the number and order of tombstones were found.”
Yi Chen bit his fingernails.
Now he faces an important decision.
Should I stay in the cabin and wait for danger to come
Or go to the cemetery alone, face the danger and overcome the difficulties.
"Take the initiative... According to the rules, perhaps only by restoring Cemetery No. 4 can the crisis be completely eradicated. If you just stay in the wooden house and do nothing, you will most likely just wait for death."
Yi Chen tried to treat the current situation as a test after traveling through time.
but,
A series of preparations must be made before departure.
first,
Using his relatively smart brain, he memorized the cemetery map, the plan for Cemetery No. 4 in the appendix, and the organization's imprint, etc.
in addition,
Put on the work clothes folded at the end of the bed,
This is a dark grey coat that is between a raincoat and a windbreaker. The loose hood can cover half of the face, hiding the feature in the darkness.
"This coat is too tight... I've never worn a coat so comfortable. Is it tailor-made?"
Not only does the coat not bring any restrictions to movement, but it makes body movements smoother.
He also found a metal badge on his left chest with the name of the original owner of the body printed on it - William Behrens.
Everything is ready,
Just before walking out of the iron gate, try using the telephone on the wall next to the door.
However,
There was only a harsh noise inside the receiver, and the telephone line seemed to be damaged, making it impossible to contact the outside world.
"It is likely due to a violation. The 'Administrator' above has severed contact with this place... Let's go."
Card~card
As the door hinges turned, it was like an elderly man issuing warning sounds from the depths of his hoarse throat.
Yi Chen stood at the door, alert to the possible danger.
As the seconds pass,
The only smell that came was the disgusting smell of rotting flesh and dirt.
The moon was completely blocked tonight, and the only light came from the kerosene lamp in my hand.
"It seems that danger has not come to us yet. This is a good thing... Let's start exploring."
The silver-glowing axe was held in his right hand, hanging by his thigh.
The kerosene lamp is held horizontally in front of the chest with the left hand.
Yi Chen, wearing a dark grey coat, has completely assumed the role of "gravekeeper" and started his first exploration of the cemetery.
first,
Same as the map depicts,
The wooden house known as the safe house is located in the center of the cemetery.
Cemeteries No. 1 to No. 6 are surrounded on all sides.
The hollow iron fence about three meters high separates the tombs with different numbers so that they do not disturb each other.
The narrow path between the tombs can only allow one corpse transporter to pass through.
The twisted branches that grew randomly intersected overhead, blocking out the night sky and covering the entire cemetery... If the previous wooden house was like a small coffin, then this cemetery was a large coffin.
Yi Chen was overwhelmed by this environment.
I even imagined that there was a pale foot following me, and various branches turned into arms trying to touch my shoulders.
call…
Take a deep breath.
When he was a child, he heard from the people in the orphanage that when passing through some gloomy places at night, one must never look back, otherwise there is a high possibility of attracting dirty things.
Therefore, look straight ahead the entire time and tilt your head a maximum of 45 degrees.
Following the map route in the memory, we soon arrived at the iron gate of Cemetery No. 4.
However,
An idea popped into my head.
"I moved around the cemetery for several minutes... It was creepy and depressing, but at least I didn't encounter any danger and didn't see any dirty things.
The dangers existing in Cemetery No. 4 can drive a person to suicide and cannot be easily resolved.
I'm afraid we need to escape and fight guerrilla warfare.
Why not walk through the entire cemetery first, familiarize yourself with the area, and find out the routes and locations for escape and hiding~ Yeah! That's it."
Temporarily leave from Cemetery No. 4.
Yi Chen started to tour the entire cemetery in a clockwise direction.
The passage of time prompted him to gradually adapt to the atmosphere of the cemetery.
In addition, I also discovered some interesting things in the cemetery that had detailed planning and settings.
Cemeteries with different numbers have different natures.
For example, Cemetery No. 1 is uniformly decorated with stone arched tombstones, clean steps and stone aisles, giving people a neat and comfortable feeling.
The No. 2 cemetery next door uses oak cross-shaped tombstones, which are tilted and overgrown with weeds... The overall look is extremely eerie, and the temperature is even 10℃ lower.
The journey was smooth without any danger.
Following the order of chronology, we arrived at the last cemetery No. 6.
The soil here is extremely moist.
Every step was like stepping into a mud puddle, with the soles of my shoes sinking at least two centimeters.
The tombstones here are all made of stones and do not record any information about the deceased's life.
"Um... what is that?"
With his keen observation, Yi Chen noticed a detail.
Cemetery No. 6 is located near the corner.
The stone tombstones were scattered all over the ground, as if they had been destroyed by something.
He went forward with an axe in hand to check, walked around the grave twice, and found nothing unusual.
Maybe it's completely substituted into the current profession,
Perhaps out of respect for the dead,
After making sure there was no danger, Yi Chen squatted down and re-pile the scattered stones to restore the tombstone.
Before leaving, he subconsciously clasped his hands together and bowed lightly.
However,
He hadn't taken two steps yet.
A strange sound came from behind.
§Thanks§
The sound was very strange, like a mixture of the sounds of many people's voices, with ups and downs, going straight into the organs.
Yi Chen turned around immediately and blocked the axe in front of him.
However,
But everything in the cemetery behind me was calm and unchanged.
"Did I hear the sound because I was too nervous? No... I did hear it.
There are indeed supernatural things here~but the thanks just now didn't sound hostile.
Try not to cause trouble and solve the most critical problem at hand first."
Yi Chen quickly withdrew from the quagmire-like Cemetery No. 6.
So far,
In addition to the No. 7 cemetery, which was set up on the edge of the city and used to store and handle unknown bodies,
He had already got a general idea of the cemetery.
In his head, he also thought of the best route to escape and detour.
Next, we need to face the problematic Cemetery No. 4.
Not long after Yi Chen left,
Cemetery Room No. 6,
The soil in the grave he had just repaired suddenly showed signs of loosening.
A mouth appeared, chewing the coffin lid crumbs and covered with wet soil.
There seemed to be an eye in his mouth.
It seems as if I can see through the layers of fences and plants and look at the 'helpful' young man.
