The identity bestowed by the first deceased is extremely useful.
Even though Yi Chen was an outsider with various attributes that did not belong to death in his body, he was not affected at all. During the time he lived in the Black Funeral House, he quickly became one with the dead in the hotel.
He also often took out ancient coins to reserve the place, constantly improving the favorability of this group of dead people. On weekdays, he would also visit various blocks to understand the hierarchy of the dead, internal relations, and the status of the Knights among the dead.
It took only one week to figure out the entire 'ecosystem' of the original tomb
The first point, which was also the conclusion drawn when we first came to the original tomb, was that the original dead basically didn't care about the affairs of the original tomb. No matter how big or small, they didn't interfere. The only thing they cared about was the formulation of the "Death Law". Anyone who seriously violated the Death Law would be marked by the original dead, and within three days, they would face real death.
Since the deceased initially gave up his power, the real management rights of the original tomb actually fell into the hands of the Knights, and the current leader of the Knights of the Death Plague had the first say.
The second point is the division of identity hierarchy.
This practice was first proposed by the Knights Templar, and after the initial consent of the dead, it began to be widely popularized. The identities of the dead were divided according to their "strength levels", ensuring that the ratio of upper, middle, and lower-level dead was approximately 1:3:6.
Although their status will not affect their right to reside in the original tomb, it can limit their activity area and the resources they can obtain.
Only the dead who have reached the upper level are eligible to sign up for the assessment of new recruits of the Death Plague Knights.
In addition, if the lower-level dead people stagnate for a long time, they will compete for selection with outstanding talents recommended by the other six cemeteries every month. If they fail, they will be exchanged to other cemeteries.
Talents are selected through the so-called status hierarchy system to strengthen the strength of the Knights.
But according to the gossip that Yi Chen had heard, the overall strength of the Knights Templar has not changed much over the past few decades or hundreds of years, and has even declined.
Obviously, something must have gone wrong within the Knights.
Yi Chen did not ask about Black Wolf Bernard, because he had to completely cut off contact with Bernard during this period. Even if there was a slight trace of Black Wolf's scent on his body, it would be detected by "Miss Weiwei", and he had to talk to the other party with a completely new identity.
Two weeks passed, and Yi Chen felt that his favorability was almost up, so he asked the innkeeper at the bar.
"Mr. Sayind, can I ask you something?"
The owner at the bar was serving another customer. He took out his own eyeball and made it into a drink called "Eye of Sayinde". Then he turned around and walked towards Yi Chen. He stuffed the spare eyeball at the bar into the empty eye socket to ferment the agarwood. Five minutes later, the eyeball could be used to make the next drink.
"What can I do for you, Mr. William?"
"Do you know that there is a female knight who was punished to guard the elevator?"
"You must be talking about Ms. Vivian West. However, as a small innkeeper like me, I don't know much about her."
Although the boss liked William very much, he decisively avoided talking about the Knights Templar.
At this moment, a guest who had just ordered a cocktail suddenly turned his head to reveal his rotten face, and made sounds through the white maggots in his mouth.
"It is almost impossible to inquire about this kind of "high-level information" in an ordinary area like ours. If this information is important to you, you can try to find Mr. Osseous.
As long as you can offer the right price, Mr. Tinggu can find it out for you, even if it's the Knights' internal secrets.
But please be careful, many of the dead who have come to see Mr. Bone Listener are now staying indoors, and no one knows what happened to them."
"Mr. Bone Listener, where can we find him?"
"You may see him in the darkest corners of the second and third floors. In short, once you find a very inconspicuous person, you probably have found the right person."
"Thank you very much."
Yi Chen didn't ask any more questions and got up and left.
Using the global vision provided by Little Grape to search the so-called dark corners, they found a dead person sitting cross-legged in a cloak in a corner where a large number of giant tombstones were piled up.
The hands exposed were skeletons, and they were completely silent. Even the surrounding plague showed no signs of movement.
Through the gray vision, one can even find that the death plague released by this person actually forms the shape of two huge ears in the air, and any tiny sound fluctuations will be captured in the first time.
"Hello, my name is William Behrens. Are you Mr. Ostomy? I want to ask you something."
When Yi Chen slowly walked up to the other person and introduced himself, the person in front of him slowly raised his head, and the face revealed through the hood made people feel very uncomfortable.
On an old wrinkled face, there are ears of all shapes and sizes hanging from tiny iron hooks. These ears come from different dead people and have different degrees of decay, sizes and even shapes.
Not only that,
This man's dressing room also has a collection of "strange ears" from a few special customers.
The eyes used to look at Yi Chen were actually cochlear-shaped, and the first thing it looked at was Yi Chen's ears. The ear-shaped tongue couldn't help licking its lips.
"Human ears... they are so rare. What do you want to know?"
"I want to inquire about Vivian West's work schedule, daily whereabouts, and where she usually goes after get off work."
"The Knight of Death? Such information is very expensive." The white-bone palm made the number '3', "30,000. I will get personal information about Ms. Vivian within one day."
“So expensive?”
"Otherwise, she is a well-known dangerous figure among the Knights of the Plague, and I will have to use a lot of connections to get her information.
But if you don't have enough money, you can pay with your ears. Cut off one of your ears and I will waive all the fees."
For Yi Chen at this stage, ears can regenerate no matter how many are cut off. But looking at the other party's weird expression, the so-called "cutting ears" must not be that simple.
"How do you cut it?"
"I will cut off your ear myself..."
"It will erase the concept of 'ears' and they will never grow again, right?"
"Hehe~ Of course, what I need is the concept of your ears. Otherwise, how can your external flesh be worth thirty thousand? Don't worry, I won't damage your hearing system. I'll just lose an ear."
"I'm sorry, but I can't accept such an offer."
Physical integrity, this is Yi Chen's bottom line as a human being.
Just as Yi Chen turned to leave, a whisper came: "How about this~ Let me touch your ears, and I'll give you a 20% discount?"
"You can, but you must not do anything other than touching the ears."
"Don't worry, if I didn't keep my word, I would have been kicked out of here long ago."
As Yi Chen sat cross-legged in front of this person, his two bony hands began to touch him carefully as if appreciating a treasure, from the earlobe to the helix, from the scaly auricle to the tragus, from the outer ear to the inner ear.
This touch lasted for three whole hours until the other person's body twitched and relaxed, and then he finally let go.
"Ah~ It's really intoxicating! A perfect human ear between life and death, I really want it~ Unfortunately, the deceased seemed to be very interested in you at first. If you become incomplete, the boss may hold me accountable.
Meet here again at this time tomorrow and I will give you what you want."
When Yi Chen stood up, his entire right ear was swollen and white from being rubbed.
"Who is this person? He seems to be completely different from an ordinary dead person."
Maybe it was because I was touched for too long, I even dreamed of being touched on the ears at night.
As a result, when Yi Chen woke up the next day, he found that Thirteen was kneeling beside the bed and rubbing his ears.
Noticing the discomfort in the teacher's ears, Thirteen used candlelight to dispel the remaining plague and gave him massage all night.
The next day, we arrived at the fixed location.
Yi Chen obtained detailed information by paying six thousand ancient coins.
Here is not only Vivian's work schedule and the distribution probability time map of her daily activity areas, but also some of her personal information and the location information of the Knights.
"Remember, read this information as soon as possible and destroy it. If the information is leaked and implicates me... I will take away your ears and all your hearing at all costs."
The temperature difference between day and night is too big in Hunan. I caught a cold and my tonsils are inflamed. I didn't have the chance to take Xiao Ah Fei out to play. I took some medicine and rested at home. This is the only update today, the weekend.
