Restricted area grave keeper

Chapter 233 Human Flesh Soil
There was no light on in the large conference room, and there was no one in it. A thick layer of dust was piled up on the huge round table, as were the chairs and the floor.

It can be seen that this meeting room has not been used for a long time.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door of the meeting room, and a hurried female voice sounded from outside the door.

"Report to the city lord that all the lighting in the city suddenly went out just now, and no matter what method you use, you can't light it up again."

After the woman finished speaking, she stopped talking, held her breath, and waited respectfully outside the door.

There was no one in the office, and no one should have responded. However, the strange thing was that a voice came out of it not long after. The voice was neutral, and it was unclear whether it was a man or a woman.

The invisible city lord asked: "When did this incident happen? Did all Zhaoshi dim at the same time?"

"Yes, just half an hour ago, all the illuminated stones went out at the same time, without any sign." The woman nodded, and then asked in a worried tone, "Is there any problem?"

For Boundless City, Zhaoshi is not an indispensable resource. What she is really worried about is whether there will be a special meaning behind it. After all, Zhaoshi is a rare treasure and comes from a restricted area. good omen.

"Are you afraid?" The city lord did not answer, but asked a question.

"Yes, I am worried that something bad will happen." The woman admitted frankly.

"As I said before, all fear comes from ignorance. There is a lot of knowledge in the library. Don't be lazy and read more when you have time."

"Definitely, I will definitely go next time."

The woman nodded quickly, and then asked curiously, "City Master, from your point of view, you seem to know the reason why Zhaoshi went out. Now that you know so much, what do you think about this matter?"

The city lord was silent for a moment, as if he was a little ashamed to speak, and it took him a long time to spit out a few words.

"I'm more scared than you."

The woman froze for a moment, opened her mouth wide and said, "Didn't you say that fear comes from the unknown? You are still afraid even though you know it?"

"When a person knows something completely beyond his cognition, it is also a kind of unknown, and fear is inevitable." The city lord defended himself confidently.

The woman half understood: "Then can you tell me why?"

She wanted to know why Zhaoshi went out.

"As I said before, if you want to know anything, you can look it up in books or in history. Many secrets need to be discovered by yourself." The city lord said meaningfully.

He thought for a while, then added, "As for whether this matter is dangerous or not... don't worry about it yet."

Only then did the woman breathe a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "It's fine if there's no danger."

"It's just for now."

The city lord sighed slightly, and then asked: "How are the couples in the city doing?"

"Everything is fine. At present, five couples have applied for promotion to the diamond rank. Your personal witness is still needed."

"This is nature. The sublimation of emotions is a great spectacle in the world, and I will not be absent."

The city lord pondered for a moment, and said seriously, "You must stick to it strictly. Love is sincere. There must be no falsehood in the city. Violators must be severely punished."

"Yes." The woman said firmly, and said in a proud tone, "I was about to bring this up—not long ago, I personally beheaded my third husband."

"Oh?"

The city lord seemed a little displeased and asked, "Why?"

"During a shopping trip, he actually looked at other women for nearly a second longer than he looked at me." The woman said coldly.

The air was suddenly silent, and a strange atmosphere spread in all directions.

"You did very well."

After a long silence, the city lord smiled with relief, and said, "If I remember correctly, you are a certified title couple. You should only have each other in your eyes. You deserve to die for such evil deeds... Find the next target as soon as possible Well, but..."

"but?"

"But I don't want you to have a fifth husband." The city lord's tone was a little cold, "If you change your lover too much, isn't this a kind of infidelity?"

The woman said yes again and again, and then said: "I will find my last husband as soon as possible, and then I will have to trouble the city lord again at the ceremony of being promoted to the golden couple."

"Well, I'll see with my own eyes."

After finishing speaking, the meeting room quickly disappeared, and it was completely empty, as it was clear that no one had ever appeared.

No one knew where the voice was coming from.

The woman left the office door and climbed straight to the top of the building, overlooking everything on the street.

Everyone on the street is in pairs, holding hands as if glued together, and refuses to separate no matter what; walk for 3 minutes, 2 minutes of eyes stop on each other - and the remaining 1 minute is used for kissing .

Everyone had formatted happy smiles on their faces. Although it looked sweet, it gave people a strange sense of horror.

"so good."

The woman looked at this scene quietly, with a sense of accomplishment in her heart, this is what love should be like, and this situation is inseparable from her credit.

"However, there don't seem to be any male widows in the city recently, and it's not easy to win someone's love. The new husband may have to go outside the city to find..."

……

"All the illuminated stones in the tunnel have been extinguished, it seems that there is indeed a problem..."

In the tunnel where you can't see your fingers, Sun Yan led the team at the forefront. Seeing the darkness ahead, his heart sank.

He just tried it, and none of these illuminated stones can be re-lit by the original method, which is indeed wrong. As for whether it is related to the creatures in the restricted area that the second child said, it is not yet certain.

"By the way, second child, do you remember the appearance of that monster? Maybe the eldest sister knows it."

He touched the wall and walked forward, suddenly asked.

"Of course I remember." Bai Mo replied in the voice of his second child, "I will never forget it even if I die."

"Just remember...Damn it, Zhaoshi's problem seems to have affected the entire passage, and we can't use the dragon scale pattern. We can only walk back step by step. What a fucking bad luck." Sun Yan cursed.

Hearing this, Bai Mo's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered the scene where the other party appeared quickly. At that time, the other party's speed was indeed too fast. It turned out to be related to this passage...

However, he didn't know much about the so-called dragon scale pattern, so he didn't answer the question, so as not to expose his flaws.

During the previous march, he had already killed all the four men brought by this guy, in order to create the illusion that monsters were chasing and killing people.

However, I don't know if it's because the guy in front is too stupid, but he hasn't discovered the fact that his subordinate is dead until now...

But Bai Mo is not in a hurry, it's just a matter of time.

After walking for more than 20 minutes, some human voices finally came from the front. Although he was in the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers, Bai Mo could clearly feel that the space in front of him had become larger——

Of course, the main thing is that he can see.

"Damn, it's almost here at last." Sun Yan cheered up and said, "You guys go to rest later, my second child and I will go see the eldest sister."

There was silence behind him, and there was no response.

He raised his eyebrows: "Are you dumb? Didn't you hear me? Why don't you say thank you Brother Sun Yan?"

Still no response.

Gradually, Sun Yan finally realized that something was wrong, turned around quickly, and planned to light the candle.

"call."

The fire was fleeting, and the candle was blown out before it was lit, and the passage was plunged into darkness.

The corner of Sun Yan's mouth twitched: "I said, you guys are endless, what about the others?"

After a while, Bai Mo said in a trembling voice, "Dead...they are all dead."

"What do you mean?"

Sun Yan was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that the moment the candle was lit just now, he indeed only saw Wu Lao Er, who seemed to have blood on his body, and the others had all disappeared!
He panicked, and hurriedly asked: "What's dead, please explain clearly!"

He was almost at the camp now, and he couldn't take some messy things there.

Bai Mo pretended to be scared, and said incoherently: "On the way back, I heard a strange sound, and subconsciously touched back, but found nothing."

Sun Yan recalled it with a sullen face, and there was no strange sound in his impression, but his men did not move at all along the way, which was obviously not right.

On weekdays, they would tell some dirty jokes...

"Speak clearly!" He withdrew his thoughts and yelled.

"Keep your fucking voice down!" Bai Mo roared back not to be outdone, and then said in a low voice, "I don't know what happened, but I vaguely heard the sound of chewing, and finally tried to touch the ground—I touched it Here comes the blood."

Sun Yan was horrified, he remembered the blood on the second child just now.

"So you know why I didn't speak just now, I didn't dare at all, something has been following us!" Bai Mo felt lingering fear.

What does this guy mean...something has been following us and killing so many people without me noticing?
Sun Yan didn't even dare to think about such a scene, he quickly shook his head and asked in confusion, "But why are we the only two okay?"

He had some doubts about this guy, but Wu Er Er might lie to him, but his subordinates would never cooperate with this guy in acting, and this guy didn't have the ability to kill them quietly.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he just felt that the passage became much colder in an instant.

Maybe in the present darkness, there is a pair of cold eyes staring at them with hatred.

He was suddenly shocked.

"Who knows." Bai Mo shook his head and said, "I've been in fear just now, so I don't have time to think about the conditions for that thing to kill people."

The more Sun Yan thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he quickly gritted his teeth and said, "I can't delay any longer, let's go, follow me to see Eldest Sister immediately!"

As he spoke, he ran forward in a hurry, for fear of being overtaken by something.

Bai Mo quickly followed——

In fact, the reason why the Zhang Tao brothers and sisters and the charm stall owner did not show up was because they deliberately stayed behind under his signal.

He couldn't tell how many people were in the camp of these guys, and it was impossible that the camp had no lighting. Among other things, Zhang Tao's tall figure would definitely be exposed, and everyone would be in a very dangerous situation then.

Bai Mo's body was similar to that of his second brother, and he had a mask to cover his face, and he could also imitate that guy's voice, so after thinking about it, he felt that it was best for him to go and investigate alone, at least he could escape unharmed.

As for whether the stall owner will have thoughts about Zhang Tao and Zhang Rouzhu while he is away, Bai Mo thinks it is impossible. One is that Zhang Tao's siblings are not that valuable, and the other is that if that guy wants to go out, he will never do such a thing. stupid thing.

While thinking, he quickly followed Sun Yan into the camp.

At the end of the passage is a large underground space, in which there are many tents. A group of people in black robes shuttled and talked among the tents. At a rough glance, there were about thirty people.

Because all the Zhaoshi went out at the same time, the camp had to light candles for lighting at this time, and there were endless discussions, as if they were worried about the reason why Zhaoshi was inexplicably ineffective.

The tent in the center of the camp is the largest and most magnificent. Thick green vines spread out from the tent and cling to the surrounding walls, like huge blood vessels, some of which are even beating slightly.

Sun Yan ignored the people who were chatting, and walked quickly towards the largest tent, looking back from time to time, for fear that there would be a terrible monster behind him.

Bai Mo followed closely behind him, imitating him and refusing to talk, and the crowd probably saw that they had something important to report, so they didn't continue to move closer.

Bai Mo noticed that most of these people in black robes were men, and there were very few women.In addition to the men in black robes, there were a few naked women sitting slumped outside some tents. Their hair was unkempt, their eyes were empty and numb, like mindless puppets who had lost interest in living.

A few men in black robes came over to look at them, and fumbled their palms on the waistband for a while, but they still couldn't get interested. They cursed "junkie" and left after spitting.

There seemed to be a few corpses lying on the open space farther away. Most of them were female corpses, and there were also male corpses. It seems to be glad to finally get rid of the tragic fate.

Thin green branches cling to the bodies of the corpses, as if they were alive, piercing deep under the skin and eating away at their flesh and blood.

The candlelight swayed, and the figures of the men in black flickered in the firelight. They seemed to be unable to see the corpses, and they were chatting happily.

Bai Mo watched all this silently, his eyes were unusually calm.

He followed Sun Yan to the entrance of the tent, and saw the latter saying to the thick vines at the entrance: "Sister, I have something to report."

After waiting for a while, the vine lifted up slightly, and the end swung up and down, as if nodding, and then made way for it.

The two walked into the tent.

In addition to being green, the tent is still green, full of unknown green plants, a large number of branches, flowers and plants are intertwined, and all the rhizomes gather in the center of the tent, and finally connect to a woman.

It was a woman wearing a black mask, only one head was exposed, and her body was naked, but all of it was wrapped in plant roots, which seemed to be a hotbed for nourishing these plants. The blood vessels showed a frightening dark green color, which looked shocking .

"It really is the boundless grass..."

Bai Mo knew it in his heart.

Sun Yan was not surprised by this, he carefully jumped over a vine, finally found a foothold, stood in front of the woman, and respectfully greeted: "Elder sister."

The woman opened her eyes, glanced at him and Bai Mo, and gave a soft "hmm".

"what's up?"

Sun Yan immediately told what happened before.

Too much talk is bound to fail, Bai Mo didn't want to talk at first, but under the woman's gaze and proof, he had no choice but to add from the side.

"I already knew about Zhaoshi's extinction, but I didn't expect it to be for this reason..." The woman's voice was weak, and it sounded a little lazy and charming, "Second brother, tell me about the appearance of that monster .”

Bai Mo was also unambiguous, and immediately described it vaguely.

The woman thought for a moment, then sighed: "Sure enough, it is a light-eating beast. If it is it, it can indeed do this... But your judgment is wrong, its danger level is not B-level, but A-level."

Sun Yan was startled, is there really a monster that feeds on light, or is it A-level?
This kind of existence is beyond comprehension, and the camp can be destroyed by stomping.

Bai Mo was also a little surprised. This woman has a lot of knowledge. Although what he said before was all false, the devouring monster he described did exist, and the appearance was also described according to that thing. I didn't expect this woman to know...

The woman said to herself: "However, there is one thing that is strange. The light-eating beast is a forbidden creature from the Hell of No Days. Normally, it would only wander around the Hell of No Days. How could it appear near the Boundless City?"

She examined Bai Mo carefully and asked a few more questions.

The latter was unhurried, and answered as if he was recalling, and what he said was the same as the truth.

After listening, the woman sighed slightly, and said to Sun Yan: "You go out first, I have something else to ask my second child."

Sun Yan didn't say much, bowed respectfully, then turned and walked out of the tent.

Only the woman and Bai Mo were left in the tent, neither of them spoke, and the air fell into a long silence.

Finally, the woman spoke.

"You are not the second child."

Her tone was inexplicable, and she couldn't hear any emotion, but she seemed very determined.

Bai Mo's heart skipped a beat, and he tentatively asked in Wu's second voice: "Elder Sister, what do you mean by that?"

The woman didn't answer, but said to herself: "Although I don't know where you heard about the characteristics of the light-eating beast, but you don't know how terrifying it really is... That thing dies when you see it. It is absolutely impossible to come back alive after seeing his strength."

"So I'm sure, you're not Wu's second child."
