"I'm really lucky. I inherited the ownership of the Stone Statue Cemetery right after I arrived. Even if the important things were moved away, there would definitely be some things left behind that cannot be moved.
Little Grape, you don't have any luck, do you? "
Little Grape didn't answer.
Instead, a sinister and terrifying breath emanated from its mouth. It jumped up on its knees and tumbled three and a half times in the air. Its black hair grew wildly, and it quickly transformed into some kind of humanoid creature.
Black robes, withered limbs, and a bunch of eyes under the hood.
This is Little Grape's first "corpse transformation", and the form it reveals corresponds to the first corpse that has awakened - the eyeball collector, Gumhar.
When he saw this form, Knight Barry was so frightened that he took three steps back. Born into a knight family, he could clearly feel the evil spirit from the other party.
The multiple eyeballs under Little Grape's hood squeezed against each other and made a sound, "William, let me take care of this cemetery, you guys go back and have a rest~"
"Can you do it alone? You might be targeted by death, little grape."
“Didn’t the manager stay here alone before? I’m fine.
There are still many corpses whose souls have not been extracted that can be used. I can use witchcraft to temporarily revive them, and then they will no longer be human beings. "
"Okay, let's try to dig out the remaining value of the Stone Statue Cemetery. If the situation gets serious, I'll come and take you away immediately."
"Hurry up, hurry up, don't delay my work~"
After being driven away by Little Grape, I naturally went to the hotel to rest.
Barry could be heard mumbling something between his bucket and helmet as we drove along.
"Hey, Barry, what are you talking about?"
Seeing Yi Chen asking, Barry slowly raised his voice, "Ruber Longdrick, the famous Soul Stone Witherer! He actually abandoned the Stone Statue Cemetery that he had been running for a long time and chose to run away... And the organization also sent a notice to the leaders here in advance, asking them to be prepared to abandon the city.
Wow~ Why do I feel like I am about to die? "
"Barry, if you want to leave now, it's not too late. Dean Dis and the others are still in the hospital. If you go over and explain the situation, someone should be able to escort you out of the city."
"I, Barry Besalius, was born a knight after all, and I carry out the chivalry spirit passed down by my family. Since I have decided to stay here, I will never leave until I find out the disease related to death and eradicate it."
"Don't be so decisive. If we find out that the person behind the death is something we can't fight against, we still have to run."
Barry put his hand through the gap in the bucket helmet and scratched his beard, "That's right."
…
Sunshine Hotel
As it is located next to Sunshine Hospital and was built with the participation of gentlemen, it has the same name as the hospital and is considered to be the largest hotel in the city of Winholm.
The red bricks and white tiles are close to the modern style, and there are three electric elevators inside to quickly reach each floor.
The price is naturally not low. Gentlemen who arrive for the first time can enjoy three days of free accommodation and a permanent half-price discount.
With the outbreak of deaths, the hotel has become a concentration camp for gentlemen. A large number of gentlemen who have not broken through their limits are concentrated here. Some local wealthy people also come here at their own expense. There are still deaths in the hotel.
When the doorman saw the sun emblems on Yi Chen and the other man, he immediately arranged for them to stay in a superior room on the top floor (19th floor).
Ka~ The door opened, and a circle of pale yellow light shone into my eyes.
A special circular light strip hangs from the ceiling of the room, like a sun. This unique lighting fixture is quite rare in this world and era. Even the most common ones in Zion are tungsten filament bulbs or kerosene lamps.
A large bed, a row of brown leather sofas, and a fireplace embedded in the middle wall.
It is equipped with a very grand balcony. If the fog is thinner, you can have a panoramic view of the entire city.
"William, you sleep on the big bed and I'll sleep on the sofa!" Barry knew very well that he had not played any role yet and it was embarrassing for him to sleep on the bed.
"Can your body fit on the sofa? It will be troublesome if you break the sofa."
"I only weigh over 500 pounds, and this armor weighs just over a thousand pounds. It shouldn't break me, right?"
Yi Chen was too lazy to talk nonsense. He walked up to Barry and raised his big elbow. "Hurry up and take a shower. Go to bed early and get up early. We will go to another area for investigation early tomorrow morning."
"oh."
When Barry entered the bathroom,
Yi Chen directly took his armor and played with it. It must be said that the armor was really heavy.
"Hmm? I thought the leather was used as a connecting carrier, and the armor was glued on it... I didn't expect that the armor itself was also leather, a kind of hard leather with a high hardness and a color similar to metal.
Sure enough, leather farms produce a variety of leather materials, and the leather used by human gentlemen is just one type of leather that is suitable for cutting and making clothes, which is more in line with our own aesthetics. "
After a while,
Barry, a big, muscular man, walked out of the bathroom.
"Barry, you have a nice body..."
Yi Chen slapped his belly directly, and as the fat rippled across his belly, the huge abdominal muscles hidden underneath were revealed.
There is a lot of hair connecting the navel and chest, which is a typical European barbarian.
Then Yi Chen took off his clothes, and this time it was Barry's turn to be surprised.
“Fuck! What kind of muscles are these… You can grow muscles in this place, and they can be divided into multiple layers. Are you still human?”
No wonder the first time I fought you, the blows always felt weird, and all the attacks were mostly neutralized."
"It wasn't easy to get this body. I almost got killed. Let's talk next time. I'm going to take a shower first."
Yi Chen turned and walked into the bathroom, closing the door and locking it.
While bending his neck to wash his hair, Yi Chen accidentally noticed that the water droplets falling on the ground seemed to be a little abnormal. They were producing some kind of effect on each other. Instead of being carried away by the water flow, they were pieced together.
It was vaguely forming the shape of a cross.
"This is!"
Yi Chen crushed the water droplets with one foot, and everything returned to normal.
After finishing the shower, Yi Chen came to the sink wrapped in a bath towel. The mist on the mirror actually revealed a faint shape of a cross.
Yi Chen instinctively struck out with his palm! Bang! The mirror shattered.
Barry, who heard the sound, rushed in directly, "William, what's going on?"
“Death seems to be coming.”
“Did the symbol appear?”
"Well, since I was alone in the shower, I had signs of the symbol appearing twice in a row.
But I also discovered a problem, which is that the death symbol cannot be formed directly, but has a formation process. As long as you can move your vision away or interrupt it in the middle, it will be fine. "
"Okay~ So why didn't I encounter it when I was taking a shower?"
“Maybe because you, Barry, didn’t directly provoke the other party, some of the things I whispered in the old lady’s ear before might have really reached the ears of the mastermind behind the scenes.
Such people who like to hide in the dark are often narrow-minded and cannot stand any slanderous words against them. "
Barry didn't know what was going on. He only saw Yi Chen suddenly approach the old lady and then pack her up in a cloth bag made of clothes.
"What did you tell others?"
When Yi Chen said those sarcastic words at that time, Barry, who had just taken a shower, began to sweat again.
“William, are you really not afraid of death?”
"What's there to be afraid of? I've died several times before. Go to sleep."
Yi Chen patted Barry on the back, then leapt directly onto the sofa.
After sensing its owner Yi Chen, the gentleman's suit draped over the end of the sofa immediately swam over and quickly put on the clothes, while also evolving into a skin-friendly mode to assist sleep.
Barry stood there in a daze for a moment. He thought that what Yi Chen meant by 'dying several times' was referring to those life-and-death moments.
late at night.
Boom! A thorn-like bolt of lightning flashed past the window.
Then, raindrops as big as beans slammed against the windows crazily.
Yi Chen slightly opened his eyes after receiving some external stimulation. In his vision, which was a little blurry due to sleepiness, he saw a figure standing on the windowsill...
