Chapter 164: The terrifying cemetery
To be honest, going to the cemetery at a big night is not a good experience.
Even more so after listening to ghost stories.
“Can’t we come back during the day?”
Hiding behind Duanmuhuai, Gureya looked around uneasy and said in a low voice. Old Bente, who was next to her, was also in a cold sweat and kept nodding.
"Just kidding, we are not here to have fun, we are here to investigate. What if we scare something away during the day?"
What? !
Hearing Duanmuhuai''s answer, Gureya was even silent and dared not speak anymore.
"But then again... your cemetery is really big..."
Standing at the entrance of the cemetery, Duanmuhuai looked inside curiously, and saw that under the moonlight, the entire cemetery was silent, and a faint mist echoed in it. Apart from that, there was no sound here, giving people the feeling that they had entered a deadly place.
Not only that, as Duanmuhuai said, the area of ??this cemetery is very large, even about the same size as a small town.
"There is no way to do this. During the war with the elves... many people died..."
When talking about this topic, Lao Bente was also a little sad.
"At that time, most of the young people in the town went to join the army and participated in the war, but in the end, only a few people came back...ah..."
“That’s how war is.”
Duanmuhuai glanced at the cemetery in front of him and withdrew his gaze.
"Then, let''s take us to the graves of the four dead first."
"yes."
Under the leadership of Lao Bente, the three of them came to the grave located deep in the cemetery. The graves here had been dug up, and even the mounds of soil and shovels could be seen around them. It seemed as if he had been put down halfway through work. Duanmu Huai looked around carefully before asking.
"Is no one here to care?"
"I''m afraid no one dared to enter the cemetery during this period, so he could only leave it alone."
"Um………"
Hearing Old Bente''s answer, Duanmuhuai nodded, and then he turned on the searchlight to illuminate the dim tomb in front of him. In the tomb, there was only an ordinary wooden coffin placed inside. Duanmuhuai reached out and picked up the lid of the coffin. Then he saw the empty coffin inside and... a big hole.
"So what you mean is, those corpses ran away from this hole?"
Duanmuhuai pointed to the cave at the head of the coffin, looked at Lao Bente and asked, "It was a cave that looked slightly larger than a human head, as if it was dug out by some wild beast. It was pitch black inside, and even if it was shined with a searchlight, there was no way to see anything."
"Yes……"
"Oh, this is very interesting."
Duanmuhuai raised his head and smiled.
"Okay, let''s go and see the other three tombs."
Soon, everyone looked through the three tombs next to them, and they all turned out like the first tomb. Something made a hole from the ground, then dug it to the top of the coffin, and then dug through the coffin and took the corpse away. At least for now, these corpses seemed to have disappeared in the cave and disappeared.
"Um………"
After checking the four tombs, Duanmu Huai thought for a while, then looked to the side.
"Have you ever dug up these tombs?"
"Of course there isn''t this."
Old Bente shook his head vigorously, then he seemed to think of something and looked at Duanmu Huai uneasy.
"Do you mean that the corpses here are also..."
"It''s too boring to work hard to break a hole in the ground just to steal four corpses. If it were me, it would be just stealing anyway. Wouldn''t it be better to steal more?"
As he spoke, Duanmuhuai walked to the grave next to him and then reached out his hand. Soon, with the effect of gravity gloves, the next moment the soil covered on the grave in front of him immediately rolled to both sides. Seeing this scene, Old Ben stared wide in surprise, but he knew he could not speak, so he hurriedly covered his mouth. Gureya next to her was hiding behind Duanmuhuai, and only dared to quietly stare at the tomb in front of her. Although she is a dragon man or a mage, she has never done anything like running to the cemetery to dig a tomb in the middle of the night!
At this moment, Gureya couldn''t help but recall what An said to herself before leaving.
"It''s not boring to be with Mr. Knight. It''s super exciting and interesting! Just try it!"
Well... It is indeed super exciting to come to the cemetery in the middle of the night, but it is not interesting at all!
Although Gureya was screaming inside, Duanmu Huai didn''t care about her fragile little heart. He reached out and grabbed the coffin board again, lifted it up, but... there was nothing inside. “How could it be!?”
Seeing this, Old Bente finally couldn''t help but scream. As a person who has been living here, Old Bente naturally knows the situation in this town very well. The owner of this tomb died of illness two years ago, and his body was gone? Moreover, a hole was also dug at the top of his coffin!
Difficult, can it be said...
Thinking of this, Old Ben looked around the tombs and couldn''t help swallowing.
The entire cemetery? All hollowed out?
No, it won’t be so exaggerated!
Duanmuhuai said before that this cemetery was almost as big as a small town, which is not an exaggeration. After all, more and more people die. Although there is no need for rooms as big as living people, each tomb is not small. There are probably thousands of dead people buried in the entire cemetery. Could it be that these dead people have been taken away? No, some people have been dead for hundreds of years, and I''m afraid they haven''t even left their bones...
But Duanmu Huai didn''t care what Old Bente was thinking. He dug up the tomb next to him one by one, and the result was that the dead inside, no matter how many years he had died, were basically gone!
"Interesting, why do this guy do if he wants so many dead bones?"
Looking at the date on the tombstone in front of him and then looking at the empty tomb in front of him, Duanmu Huai looked speechless. I have never let go of the bones that have been dead for ten years. Do I want to take them back and grind my dog''s teeth, or do I plan to make big bone soup?
Although Duanmu Huai had long guessed that the task this time was not simple due to the system prompts, he did not expect that it would be so strange.
"So, next, let''s take a look at this last grave."
At this moment, Duanmuhuai had already dug all the way to the edge of this row, which was also the part closest to the edge of the cemetery. More than ten graves in this row were dug up by Duanmuhuai, and all the coffins were empty. I''m afraid this next one would be...well?
However, just when Duanmu Huai was planning to open a blind box on routine, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Can these ten even be shipped?
Thinking of this, Duanmuhuai grabbed the lid of the coffin and lifted it up directly.
"ah---!"
Seeing what was in the coffin, Gureya screamed in fear, and the old Bente next to him sat on the ground.
No wonder the two were so frightened, because this blind box of the coffin was different from others. Not only was it not empty, it even contained one person!
It was a man who looked about 40 or 50 years old. He was wearing a yellow robe, with round eyes and a hideous expression. He looked like he was dying in extreme pain.
“Yes, it’s Mr. Pastor!”
Looking at the man in front of him, Old Bente also screamed.
"Pastor? Is the pastor you mentioned who manages the cemetery and then goes missing?"
"Yes, yes, how could he be here..."
Looking at the priest''s body in front of him, Old Bente also murmured to himself. The pastor disappeared before, and many people wondered if he was the one who was doing it, but unexpectedly, he died? And he was buried in the tomb?
However, unexpected things have just begun now.
At this moment, the priest''s body suddenly moved. Seeing this scene, Gureya was even more frightened and grabbed Duanmu Huai''s hand.
"Calling, Mr. Knight, he moved!"
"I saw it, how could you not be so nervous?"
Duanmu Huai glanced at Gureya speechlessly. It is normal for there to have monsters and monsters in this world. Are you still a mage? Can you cheer up? Although Manalia does not seem to have a necromancer, this thing is not unfamiliar to you, right?
But soon, Duanmu Huai discovered that the corpse in front of him seemed to be a little different. He actually slowly opened his mouth!
Um? Could it be that the corpse can speak?
Just as Duanmu Huai was staring intently, the priest''s mouth grew bigger and bigger. Then a furry, fat mouse came out of it. It raised its head, stared at the people in front of it, and made a squeaking sound!
At the same time, the priest''s entire body began to rise and fall gradually. Then, mice, like gushing springs, emerged from the gaps in his mouth and body, and almost filled the entire tomb in the blink of an eye!
"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!!"
Hundreds of mice surging densely in the tomb pits, making their scalp numb. Not only that, at this moment, everyone found that in the tombs that had been dug up around, a large group of mice were gushing out of them, and even the tombs not far away that had not had time to be turned open, the soil was surging, and it seemed like something was wandering around.
Soon, the tomb surged high, and a big hole emerged from it, followed by countless mice gushing out from it, scattering like a black flood.
Seeing this scene, Gureya''s tense nerves finally completely broke the line.
"No ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
With the screams breaking through the sky, a hot torrent of flames suddenly burst out and rushed into the tomb in front of him. In the blink of an eye, the bright red flames turned the rats surging in the tomb and the priest''s corpse into ashes. Not only that, after that, the flames spurted out from Gureya''s right hand, which turned into a dragon claw, rushed into the tunnel below, and then the entire cemetery shook until it was shaken. Then, the earth of the cemetery burst instantly and turned into a huge pit, which completely swallowed the three of them in in an instant!
