Restricted area grave keeper

Chapter 3 Tomb Keeper

The photographer died.

Cheng Zi turned her head and saw the photographer standing motionless in front of the meat stall, feeling deep sadness in her heart.

She is an ordinary person through and through. If the photographer hadn't taken care of her a lot along the way, even if she didn't die, she would be trapped in the village by the monsters of Silence Village.

"Why didn't he leave?" Bai Mo also stopped.

Cheng Zi suppressed her sadness, shook her head and said, "He's different from me, he wants to go home."

"Oh." Bai Mo nodded, and left the village with Cheng Zi indifferently.

"By the way, don't be afraid later." Halfway, he suddenly reminded.

"what happened?"

"I'm a gravekeeper, so I live in the cemetery."

"Tomb...cemetery?" Cheng Zi froze all over, and couldn't help secretly looking at her pale skin.

Speaking of which, this person's skin is simply too white, it should not be the effect of cosmetics...

She swallowed quietly. In her cognition, there is a forbidden creature called a vampire with white skin, cruel nature, and loves to suck blood, but she can't speak.

"Yes, so when you see the coffin and tombstone, you don't have to pay too much attention."

"oh oh."

Without stopping, the two walked through the foggy road and finally came to the cemetery.

Seeing the neatly arranged tombstones in front of her, Cheng Zi could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this place was not as gloomy as she imagined.

She followed Bai Mo, walked towards the house along the narrow path, and suddenly asked curiously: "Why are there no inscriptions on these tombstones?"

"who knows."

Bai Mo was silent for a moment, and said without turning his head, "I'm just a cemetery keeper, responsible for guarding this cemetery, others don't know so much."

Cheng Zi was thoughtful, there are indeed many cemeteries in City No. [-], although there is probably no information about this place, but you can still try to look it up after you go back.

...if you can go back alive.

The surrounding area is too quiet, you can't hear insects and birds, and you can't even see any green plants, as if there are no living things.

"This place is so desolate." She said, "Aren't you lonely by yourself?"

"Why are you lonely?" Bai Mo pushed open the door, turned his head to look at Cheng Zi inexplicably, and said strangely, "I'm not alone."

"It turns out like..."

Cheng Zi smiled, his expression suddenly became dull.

She shrank her neck and looked around blankly, but only saw rows of cold tombstones. She couldn't help swallowing, and forced a smile, "Is there...is there anyone else here?"

Bai Mo didn't answer, and walked straight into the room. Cheng Zi froze in place, feeling as if there were countless pairs of eyes looking at him behind him, and suddenly he was shocked, and quickly followed him in.

Of course she could tell that neither the cemetery nor the so-called gravekeeper was normal, but she had no intention of running away yet.

Compared to facing the unknown dangers outside, at least her current situation is relatively safe.

The house is not big, and it is quite simple, without any electronic equipment. Even the cooking stove is a very primitive stove, which requires dry wood to light a fire.

Bai Mo lowered his head and began to process the things he bought, without raising his head, he said, "I'll cook, you can sit anywhere."

Cheng Zi can't figure out the details of the other party, how dare he eat and drink for free, what if the other party gets angry and eats himself as a dish?
"I'm so sorry."

She hurriedly sat down in front of the stove, picked up the old-fashioned lighter and looked at it for a while, and said in a panic, "How about I help you light the fire."

Bai Mo thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, today's meal will be very special, after all, I found an ingredient that I haven't seen for a long time."

Ingredients?

Cheng Zi was about to ask what it was, but suddenly came to his senses, wait, the ingredients he was talking about...

Could it be me?

She hurriedly raised her head, just in time to meet the other party's half-smiling eyes... and the kitchen knife still dripping blood in the other party's hand.

"despair."

"Gollum."

The sound of dripping blood and swallowing saliva sounded at the same time, and the atmosphere was quite delicate.

Cheng Zi forced herself to calm down, and she let go of her thoughts, planning to start the fire first, lest she couldn't help but think wildly.

But because she had never used this kind of stove, coupled with the panic, she didn't light the fire for a long time, and instead made herself ashamed.

Seeing Bai Mo, he couldn't help but sigh.

When the girl heard it, she didn't know what to think of, and instantly shrank her neck, looking terrified.

He secretly laughed, the girl didn't know what happened to her, like a frightened bird, he walked to the edge of the stove, motioned her to leave, and said, "Let me come, if you act like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat tomorrow morning."

Cheng Zi walked to the side in a daze, and soon saw the fire rising and flickering, even if there was only sporadic light and warmth, it made her feel at ease.

The pale face of the young man was flickering under the light of the fire, and she was not so scared after looking at it, so she said, "By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Mo Qingcheng, and I'm a reporter .”

"Qingcheng?" Bai Mo looked the girl up and down, nodded in agreement, "It's really pretty."

Mo Qingcheng blushed and explained for a while before letting the other party know which two words it was.

"My name is Bai Mo." Seemingly afraid of being misunderstood by the other party, Bai Mo explained earnestly, "Bai who is a prostitute, Mo who has no ink in his chest, um...not a white man who is foaming at the mouth."

"..."

Can't you make a better word?
Mo Qingcheng looked strange, but he was inexplicably relieved. From the current point of view, this guy doesn't seem to be a monster.

At least not a difficult monster.

She summoned up her courage and was about to ask about the Silent Village, but her thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a bang sound outside the house.

what sound?
She listened carefully, but found nothing. She thought it was her own illusion, and she was about to continue asking, but she heard the clanging sound again, and it was louder than the first time.

"Did you hear any sound?" She was a little scared, after all, this is a cemetery, who knows what strange things are there.

There is no grass growing outside, and no living things can be seen at all. The only things that are the most are tombstones and coffins.

Bai Mo had already ignited the fire, and replied: "No."

No?

Mo Qingcheng waited for a while, but the voice no longer appeared.

She was determined to explore Silent Village to the end, and she had already prepared a plan in her heart, and she was about to speak again——

And almost at the same time, there was a more violent clanging sound outside the house, and the movement was quite loud.

This time it was not an illusion, because Bai Mo had already walked out of the kitchen frowning, and opened the door outside.

Mo Qingcheng hurriedly followed, and just glanced outside the house, her expression changed instantly.

In the twilight, the coffin boards in the deep pit kept bouncing and falling, undulating up and down, like huge black hailstones, making a dull sound.

What is this, a dead body pushing a coffin board?

Mo Qingcheng was terrified, she didn't dare to go to the side of the coffin to have a look, she quickly turned her head to look at Bai Mo, only to see that the latter's face was sinking like water, as if he was brewing something.

In fact, she had noticed the yellow talisman on the door a long time ago, and after thinking about it, she suddenly realized it.

I know, could it be...

Could it be that Bai Mo is a Taoist priest?

That's not right, can a Taoist priest control the monsters in the restricted area?
In order to be a good reporter in the forbidden area, she had done a lot of homework in advance, knowing that monks, Taoists and other practitioners had explored the restricted area in the past.

But so far, she hasn't seen or heard of anyone who can make life in the restricted area terrified.

She stared at Bai Mo, expecting what he would do, but after waiting for a long time, all she could hear was a helpless cry from the latter.

"Good night, all right."

Good night?Who is he talking to?
A strange scene happened. As Bai Mo's voice fell, the coffin boards stopped moving immediately, and all the sounds disappeared. Everything that happened just now seemed to be just an illusion.

Mo Qingcheng was shocked, and just about to speak, she heard Bai Mo singing softly:
"Sleep well, baby
night has fallen

bed full of roses
accompany you to sleep

little baby, little baby

song lulls you to sleep
sleep well baby

moonlight floods the earth
breeze blowing gently

little baby, little baby

The singing lulls you to sleep. "

Bai Mo's voice was very soft, and he sang a lullaby to the coffin at night.

However, seeing such a strange scene, instead of feeling scared, Mo Qingcheng calmed down inexplicably.

At the same time, as the song sang, the night fell quietly, and the moonlight covered the earth, as if covering the cemetery with a white veil. The night wind was soft and gentle, not as cold as the cemetery at all.

Mo Qingcheng's eyes widened, what exactly is this place, and who is Bai Mo?

At the same time, she realized something belatedly: "These coffins...seem to prevent me from asking Bai Mo about Silent Village?"

Thinking of this, she was afraid that if she continued talking too much, she would cause trouble, so she followed Bai Mo into the house without saying a word.

Dinner will be ready soon.

The so-called special food in Bai Mo's mouth is not her, but a fish.

Seeing this, the girl was relieved, but also a little curious. She couldn't see anything special about this fish, but thought it tasted good, much better than the artificially farmed fish she had eaten before.

Since the emergence of restricted areas, rivers and seas are no longer areas that humans can easily set foot in. Even if there is no restricted area, facing the unpredictable waters, it is hard to say who is the hunter between humans and wild fish.

After eating, Bai Mo planned to make a bed for Mo Qingcheng on the floor. He walked into the bedroom and let out an exclamation not long after.

Mo Qingcheng hurried over, there was no light in the room, and under the candlelight, she saw Bai Mo inspecting a coffin placed in the room, gnashing her teeth.

Like the ones in the cemetery, this coffin was also as black as ink, but it was obviously opened by someone. The coffin boards were tilted to one side, and the inside was empty, with no trace of a corpse.

Bai Mo looked annoyed: "Who, who stole the corpse?"

Compared to this, Mo Qingcheng cared more about another question. She hesitated and said, "Well...why did you put the coffin in the room?"

"It's not important. What's important is that someone entered the house and stole the corpse!" Bai Mo was anxious and angry at the same time.

No, it's important okay...

Mo Qingcheng looked weird, who would put a coffin in the room for a normal person!

and--

She looked around, and saw that there was not even a bed in the room except for the coffin, and Bai Mo just claimed that this was his bedroom...

Sneaking a sneaky look at the exasperated Bai Mo, a ridiculous idea came to her mind, but she really didn't dare to tell him.

Maybe someone didn't steal the body, but the body ran out of the coffin by itself.

And the body that escaped...

It was Bai Mo himself!

But Bai Mo obviously didn't think so. He searched the room for a long time, even lifted the coffin, but still found nothing.

Finally, he made a difficult decision.

"Call the police, you must call the police!"
