“Climbing the abyss is a proof of your strength, so you won’t be labeled an outsider… Everyone will regard you as dead.
Come with me. I just came back from hunting. I will show you a brief tour of the original tomb structure. You can join us later."
These words made Yi Chen very embarrassed. After all, he had no intention of joining the ranks of the dead and tried his best to maintain a neutral state among the forces of the old world.
It would not be a good idea to refuse directly at this moment, and there was a Plague Knight willing to be a guide to the original tomb, which would definitely save a lot of trouble.
"OK."
Yi Chen jumped and sat on the wolf's back again. This time there was no luggage on the wolf's butt, so Thirteen could just sit there.
"Mr. Bernard, where are we now?"
"The Tomb Square, which is also the outermost layer of the Tomb, is where most of the dead like to gather. There are no rules or restrictions here. As long as everyone does not violate the "Law of Death", they can have fun.
If you are interested, you can come here and play as much as you want later, but be careful... During the play, your ambition may die and you will be permanently confined here.
There are many dead people here who once had the ability and the opportunity to become members of our Knights, but now they have completely lost this opportunity. "
“Then why set up an area like this to indulge the dead?”
"If you can't even resist the most basic desires, then you are naturally not qualified to join the Knights... Don't you agree?"
The wolf carried everyone to the edge of the square, and Yi Chen also saw the "tombstone elevator" that made him quite uncomfortable, and there was more than one.
A large number of elevator tombstones are erected here, and there are at least hundreds or thousands of them at a glance, allowing troops to be dispatched at one time.
The elevator is driven by gas pressure, and a large amount of deadly fog is compressed at the bottom of the elevator.
Once activated, the release of high-pressure gas combined with the instantaneous flagellar exhaust of the bacterial colony can instantly catapult the elevator upward, reaching the ground in less than ten minutes.
Mounts are not allowed when riding the elevator, and as Bernard stepped off the wolf's back, the entire wolf began to disintegrate.
Hiss~ The armor and skin began to rot and disintegrate, revealing the skeletal structure. Finally, even the bones were completely broken apart, turning into special plague bacteria that gathered on Bernard's chest, forming a wolf head pendant.
"Wow!" Yi Chen exclaimed.
Bernard saw this and deliberately showed off the wolf head necklace.
“When the ‘dead horse’ and the individual knight have undergone a deep death combination, the death plague of the two can be perfectly combined.
The dead horse can be transformed into an appearance suitable for the individual knight, and can also be transformed into a carry-on accessory when not needed, allowing for communication of thoughts at any time.
If you join the Order, you will also be entitled to your own dead horse."
"OK."
"Come with me first, I'll show you the full picture of the original tomb."
Under Bernard's guidance, they arrived at an advanced elevator that was only available to knights. The corresponding tombstone was also made of black stone.
Card~When the elevator door opens,
A woman with her face covered by black hair was standing inside. Not only was her face covered, her hanging hair covered the front of her body like a black curtain, leaving only two extremely white arms exposed.
Upon closer inspection, it seemed that the other person was not even wearing any clothes.
The woman did not say anything, but just made a gesture of invitation. She was most likely the elevator attendant.
When Yi Chen walked into the elevator, the 'scene' in front of him made him slightly stunned... This lady was indeed not wearing any clothes, her entire back was exposed, and even her skin was only partially covered.
Her back was completely exposed, and there were no organs in her body, only a skeleton, but her limbs were covered with flesh and skin.
Although he was just a waiter, Yi Chen could smell a strong and deadly scent of danger.
Just then,
Bernard, who was holding the huge tombstone sword in one hand, slapped the other person on the butt. "Weiwei, activate the tour mode to introduce the hierarchical structure of the original tomb to this guest, and then take him to the bottom. He is the 'outsider' that the boss wants."
Unexpectedly, the waiter suddenly turned his head, stretched out his hands like a venomous snake, and tightly grasped Bernard's neck. The strength he displayed was so great that it seemed as if he was about to lift him off the ground.
Bernard was not angry, but teased thoughtfully, "Don't be angry, Weiwei. I'll pick you up when you get off work."
"roll!"
When this hateful word came out of the woman's mouth, it was directly imprinted on Bernard's chest in the form of a death plague, causing the latter to look extremely painful.
Then she loosened her hands and turned to the young man carrying a candle doll. She seemed to recognize him as the young man she had seen in the live broadcast room of the original tomb some time ago.
After confirming her identity, she turned to the elevator panel and switched to tour mode by quickly tapping the stone button on it.
The elevator will move downward at the slowest speed, pausing briefly at each floor.
At the same time, a voice of introduction as cold as an ice cellar came from under the black hair. Just hearing the words was enough to freeze the mind, and waves of chill also spread in the elevator.
"The original tomb was derived from the tomb where the first dead person in the old world was buried. Because of her death, the rules related to death began to spread in the old world, imprinted in the bodies of every living being, giving them the right to die.
As the number of deaths increased, countless dead followed the first dead and built this great and glorious original tomb for him, and even donated their own bones as the base material of the building.
Then six additional cemeteries were built to manage and select the dead and spread death.
The original tomb we are currently in is divided into seven layers.
The first floor is the square area where you first come to. It is also the freest, most depraved area, and the farthest from real death.
The 2nd to 4th floors are residential areas for the dead. Only the real dead who have obtained the "permission to die" are eligible to purchase a tomb and live there permanently.
The 5th and 6th floors are the location of the Death Plague Knights, used for selection, training, meditation, and death perception. Because the 6th floor is the place closest to the original death, the original death overflowing from the floor can keep the Knights in the best condition and continue to grow, and even give birth to beings comparable to the original dead. "
At this point Bernard suddenly interrupted:
"Weiwei, watch your wording... That guy is indeed very strong, but it's a bit inappropriate to use him to compare to the boss, right? It is precisely because of your speech problem that you were punished to be in charge of the elevator here.
Just be a little restrained. I believe that with the boss's broad mind, he will soon forgive your sins and allow you to return to the Knights. "
"What does it matter if I can go back? The state of the Knights has been getting worse and worse. The members are scheming against each other. There has never been a powerful deceased like that lord to lead the entire group. At first, the deceased didn't care about it and was only concerned about her own exploration of death.
The Knights have become a disorganized group. If we hadn't relied on the Death Supplies during the last war outside Blackmouth City, we would have been defeated."
"Weiwei, that's enough!"
This sudden quarrel made Yi Chen quite embarrassed. He didn't expect that the elevator operator in front of him was also a knight.
As Bernard scolded, the elevator fell into silence.
Just as the elevator was about to reach the bottom floor, a voice came from under the black hair again, but this time it became much gentler:
"The bottom layer is the original tomb of the first dead, which is made of the skulls offered by countless dead people. Because they are completely dead, only the 'appearance' remains between the tombs to have partial contact with us.
Only those who are truly dead can see the true appearance of the original dead. "
When the voice ended, the elevator stopped moving.
When the door opens,
An epic chorus of tens of thousands of people, accompanied by the sound of bells and drums, went straight into his brain. An unbelievable sense of death overwhelmed him, and the iron chain mask on Yi Chen's face shook wildly.
The white candle above Thirteen's head was instantly lowered to the minimum value, and Yi Chen quickly turned around to protect it to ensure that the flame would not go out.
"Mr. Bernard, please take care of my students. I will be the only one to meet with the original deceased."
"Um."
The elevator is closed.
Yi Chen was wrapped in an airtight black robe, while deepening the iron needle piercings on his mask. He walked on the ramp made of endless skulls and headed towards the tomb of the first dead.
