the last gentleman
Chapter 154 Reunion
Chapter 154 Reunion
By the lakeside, five valuable and important corpses were loaded onto the corpse truck.
"You two come with me..."
The limping Field limped ahead, and the two followed.
After a detour around a section of muddy road paved with stones, the incinerator with a tall chimney that does not work, and the adjacent house of the superintendent.
When the two stepped into the house, a lot of ice water splashed directly under their feet.
Looking down, the ground was actually covered with a layer of water stains. No wonder the old man wore rain boots on weekdays.
"Don't mind, the water comes from the cold lake. If the water in the house is turbid, the temperature changes, etc., it will allow me to detect and deal with the abnormalities in the cold lake in the first place."
Perhaps because of the efficiency of the two young people's work, Field's tone has also become better.
After Yi Chen and Reagan sat down, he continued:
"Since you have worked in the cemetery, you should have also discovered that the corpse you just salvaged was not 'mature'. Can you guess the reason?"
Yi Chen immediately gave the answer:
"The expansion of the gray area is unstoppable. Before the spread reaches the town, all the corpses in the cemetery must be moved, and even the cemetery itself and the entire town have to be relocated."
"That's right, although it will take at least two years for the ashes of the Holy Grail Mountain to spread.
However, areas such as cemeteries are easily affected in advance, and the transfer of corpses must be put on the agenda.
There is no relocation here. The cemetery depends on the cold lake and cannot be moved to other places.
I can't do more cemetery management work with my old bones. I should retire completely after the things here are dealt with. "
A kind of helplessness oozes out of the hoarse and bubbling words, as if he is about to lose the most important thing in his life.
"You two are lucky to come here at this time.
There are still seventeen hours left between now and your official departure. You can bury the "graveyard product" you carry in the middle of the lake, and plunder the essence of corpses that have been deposited in the cold lake for many years.
Take as much as you can, anyway, this place will be demolished, and nothing will be left. "
Hearing this, Little Putao didn't hide any more, and just got out from the neckline, saying unceremoniously:
"There is such a good thing!"
Little Putao itself is very aware of the operation of the cemetery, and each cemetery under the organization has its corresponding "characteristics". If such characteristics can be plundered, it will be very helpful for its incomplete cemetery products.
When the old man saw the true appearance of Little Putao, his eyes narrowed immediately.
As he has decades of cemetery experience, he was unable to identify the small grape for a while, and it was 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 answered, Little Putao drew his arms in a circle, pointing all six fingers at himself.
"That's right, this grape is the pinnacle masterpiece created by Mr. Wilbert using the unique mechanism of the seven-day cemetery and spending countless efforts.
By the way, old man, did you keep your word just now?That cold lake is really a good place, I can suck all the essence of the corpse that has settled at the bottom of the lake, right? "
"The lake has been emptied, and this place is about to be abandoned. As long as you can do it, it's okay for you to suck up the entire lake... It just happens to save me trouble."
Little Putao was also completely on the head, and slapped Yi Chen directly on the back of the head, "William, let's hurry up!"
Yi Chen was not in a hurry, but asked his teammates, "Reagan, are you going?"
"Fay can't be buried in her form. I'll stay here and talk to old Mr. Field about other things."
"Ok."
between cold lakes,
Yi Chen paddled alone, because the last body in the middle of the lake was moved away, no arms were stretched out of the water, it was cold and silent.
Little Putao stood on his shoulders, with one hand on his hips like a captain, and the other finger pointed towards the center of the lake.
The eyeballs were swirling in the mouth, and the saliva was constantly overflowing along the corners of the mouth, extremely excited.
"There are many essences deposited in such a historic cemetery, which will definitely allow me to awaken more memories and become more complete!
By the way, William, what did you do when you were fishing for corpses at the bottom of the lake?Why did he suddenly froze and choked on water?I obviously didn't feel anything. "
"Saw something ominous."
"Did you have a problem with your thinking again? Or did you really see something?"
Yi Chen's face remained normal, and he pointed slightly at the hazy moon hidden behind the clouds in the night space,
Little Putao immediately understood the meaning, her high-spirited appearance suddenly retracted, and only half of her eyes were exposed with her shoulders retracted.
"Moon... marks? No way?"
"I don't know, but since I left the city, I have a feeling of being spied on by the moon.
The last time we went to the village church, there were trees and high walls that completely blocked the sky, so we didn't have too many concerns.
But this time out of town, we'll be exposed to the night sky the entire time, and even get closer to the moon during the climb. "
Little Putao calmed down slowly, and said comfortingly:
"Ben Putao thought about it carefully, you seem to have received help from Moonlight in the village last time... If Yuehen wants to kill you, you can do it while the carriage is on its way, there is no need to wait until now.
It should be that you misunderstood, the "first priority" now is to improve yourself as soon as possible.
Wait for this grape to become more complete, and retrieve more memories and abilities.
Once you break through the limits of human beings, you will have the capital to confront that guy face to face. "
"En." Yi Chen just responded lightly and didn't say much.
The wooden boat sailed to the center of the lake with the lowest temperature again without obstruction.
Little Putao jumped on her knees and tumbling in the air for three and a half weeks. She thought she would go straight into the water, but it just landed on the edge of the boat.
"There's not much time, why don't you go down?"
"Well~ I am currently in an incomplete state, and I have basically no combat effectiveness when I separate it out. Do you understand what I mean?"
creak creak ~
The soft plant roots shoot out from Yi Chen's fingertips, and are fastened to Little Putao's body like a safety belt.
"I'll stay on the boat until you come out of the water...if there's any problem just tug on the roots and I'll know."
Little Putao gave Yi Chen a thumbs up and plunged into the lake.
As for the burial, Little Putao can be said to be a professional.It was directly found in the center of the entire lake, and quickly dug up the soil to bury itself.
black hair growing outwards,
Taste, feel and soak up the essence of Cold Lake, the dead body essence accumulated over decades of burying corpses.
Slowly, the entire lake surface changed due to the burial of the little grape.
The originally pure and transparent lake water began to emit a few black bubbles, and there was even a tendency to dye the lake water black.
Yi Chen didn't care about these changes,
I didn't care how much the little grapes could harvest,
He sat cross-legged in the canoe, seemed to be thinking about something, seemed to be waiting for something... After confirming that Little Putao had entered the state, Ka~
Yi Chen took the initiative to cut off the roots of the plants and temporarily cut off the connection with the little grape.
Not long after,
A wooden boat slowly appeared in the dark field of vision. It was strange that the movement of the wooden boat did not make any waves, as if it was floating on the water.
Due to the distance and the cover of fog, it is impossible to see the appearance and figure of the passengers on the boat.
Not long after, an extremely familiar and dangerous voice came from the opposite side:
"You seem to already know I'm coming."
Yi Chen responded indifferently: "The phantom at the bottom of the lake is not a coincidence. Since the signal is already being sent, I naturally have to respond."
"William, I'm curious~ I can vaguely feel the gaze of the moon, and I clearly believe that the phantom at the bottom of the lake is a message I deliberately threw out, why don't you tell the old gentleman 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 use of stopping you on the way?
I'm going to be closer to the moon during the climb, and once you do, it's only going to get worse... If you want to meet, want to talk, want to sort things out, now is the best time.
It is a good thing for you and me to make some things clear in advance.
Also, thanks for the moonshine assistance given earlier in Jose Valley. "
The wooden boat got closer and closer, and the outline of the people on the boat could barely be seen. Two people sat on it one behind the other.
"Don't worry~ I'm not here to kill you this time...but I need you to return the favor you helped last time, and do me a favor in turn."
"What are you busy with?"
"Take me to the other end of the tunnel..."
When these words were spoken, the wooden boat was also completely approaching.
The silver-haired youth with moon pupils seemed to be reunited after a long absence, with a heartfelt smile on his face.
Beside him is still a 'blind' female doctor, but the shape of the female doctor is different. She is no longer in charge of infusion, but has a large number of surgical instruments hanging on her thigh.
