Restricted area grave keeper

Chapter 370 The Whole City Prays
God...

These two words were like thunder, echoing in the ears of everyone in the meeting room. Everyone turned pale, and they couldn't help but doubt their ears.

The nourishment in the forbidden zone, the huge energy body that maintains the normal operation of the forbidden zone and the creatures in the forbidden zone...is it actually a god?

The whole conference room could hear needles falling, and everyone seemed to be in a daze, especially He Shang, who gave Xue Hongyu the information about Huang Quan last night. It's not that he hasn't read those contents, but the information It has nothing to do with the so-called gods, and I don't know how this woman connected it with the gods, and even came to such a conclusion...

However, this conclusion is really difficult to accept.

You must know that in the future predicted by Yan, the reason why human beings are going to despair is precisely because they are facing those superior gods. The power of the enemy is absolutely crushing. The mighty Underworld and the council have all been destroyed, and the future is gloomy——

And now someone actually told them that those terrifying gods that human beings can't deal with were actually sealed in the restricted area as nourishment a long time ago... How do they accept this?
"Doctor Xue, what's going on here?"

The young master of the Xinhai Group had one hand on the armrest of the wheelchair, the straw was hovering over his mouth, and he asked questions with a solemn expression, no longer the indifference of yesterday.

——Under such a mental shock, even a person with a determined mind may find it difficult to calm down.

Xue Hongyu said: "Just last night, Huang Quan gave me a lot of information about the restricted area, one of which was about the S-level restricted area, No Day Hell."

Everyone raised their eyebrows slightly.

As an S-level forbidden zone, the Noday Hell has a very good reputation. The main reason is that it destroyed an entire city without warning half a year ago. It was completely razed to the ground, and no one knows what happened to this day.

One must know that that was not the period when the restricted area was expanding. Even if the Dayless Hell was adjacent to the Extreme Night City, the forbidden creatures inside would not be able to break through the blockade of the restricted area and rush out to destroy the Extreme Night City.

...but the incident still happened.

There are many doubts about this matter, but due to the lack of relevant information, the attention of all parties quickly dropped, and the Hell of No Days gradually faded out of everyone's sight. Since then, no one has dared to touch it for a long time. This is especially true after the expansion of the restricted area.

At this moment, the monk who had been scratching his bald head got up and said, "Let me clarify here. After all, it is the information that Huang Quan recently obtained... Although the source of the information cannot be disclosed, there is no doubt about its authenticity."

Everyone looked at him one after another, and immediately pricked up their ears. They were indeed very interested in the information about the Hell without Days

He Shang said: "This information mainly mentions a strange man who suddenly appeared near the Extreme Night City a few days before the destruction of the Extreme Night City."

"During the past few days, this man has successively visited the forbidden stone monument in the Hell without Day, the meeting hall headquarters in the central city of Polar Night City, and another forbidden zone not far from Polar Night City—the C-level forbidden zone. Yucun."

Listening to the name of the restricted area of ​​Yucun Village is a bit unfamiliar to everyone, but fortunately Xue Hongyu quickly introduced it to everyone——

Similar to the dayless hell where the sun is not seen all year round, the weather in Tingyu Village is also quite weird. The small village often appears cloudy, but no one has ever actually seen it raining in the village.

The strange thing is that once you close your ears, you will soon hear the sound of rain, small or loud, far or near, the size of the rain will determine the danger level of the village at that time, the louder the rain, the more dangerous it is. Careful explorers may be poured into a large amount of rain and die.

It's a quirky no-go zone that relies on the rules to kill.

After hearing Xue Hongyu's introduction, He Shang's expression became a bit serious, and he continued: "In the three days before the destruction of Extreme Night City, that man has been running back and forth between the two restricted areas, but he only entered the listening area. Yucun has never stepped into the Hell of Never Day, at most it just stopped at the entrance."

"Someone claimed that he saw a man in front of the stele in Hell Without Days, who seemed to be talking to something, but there was no one around at that time, but when the guy spoke, his face was facing the restricted area."

Everyone frowned, and couldn't help thinking, could it be that the guy was talking to the forbidden creatures in the Hell of No Days at that time?

"More than that, it is said that the reason why the man is running back and forth between Tingyu Village and Wuday Hell... is because he is delivering messages for the two restricted areas."

Send a letter?

Everyone looked weird, not to mention the significance of sending the letter, but there was no such thing as a taboo spokesperson at that time, right?Otherwise, who would be a normal person to deliver a letter for the restricted area...

At this moment, Yan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly glanced at He Shang, and said lightly, "Get to the point."

Although what this guy He Shang said just now attracted people's attention, it obviously had nothing to do with the basis for Xue Hongyu's conclusion, and many of them were nonsense.

He Shang laughed dryly, thinking that I don't know what the point is, otherwise I would have drawn a conclusion long ago, so he said to himself: "Someone has heard part of what that man said before Hell without Days, but because At that time, the distance was relatively far, and that person was not sure if what he heard was wrong."

"What?" Everyone asked quickly.

He Shang didn't make a fool of himself, thinking, "'I have dealt with you before, and I know that you are very powerful, so I won't trust you. What I'm doing now is not serving, but trading, but if you can't meet my needs...' —Probably so.”

Facing the scorching stares of everyone, he spread his hands and said helplessly, "I know what you are expecting, but unfortunately the words are gone here."

Everyone was disappointed, but there was nothing they could do.

At this moment, one person thought about it: "It sounds like a threatening tone, that man actually dared to threaten the existence in the S-level restricted area, it seems that he is a guy who should not be underestimated... Is there any information about the guy's appearance? ?”

"That's not true, but that guy has a very obvious characteristic..."

After a pause, He Shang said in a deep voice, "He wears a rose stud in his left ear."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Zhan, who was sitting not far away, trembled in his heart.

Rose studs?

He remembered very clearly that half a year ago, he and Bai Mo had entered a place called the Burial Ground. At that time, they met a guy who called himself Gu Nian, who was wearing a blood-colored rose earring in his left ear.

That guy's behavior at that time was indeed a bit weird, but at that time all his thoughts were focused on the suspected tomb keeper, so he didn't pay too much attention to him.

So, the man He Shang just mentioned...could it be this guy named Gu Nian?

Although Lu Zhan's reaction just now was slight, it did not escape the attention of Yan who had been paying attention to him.

I don't know what kind of dream Yan had, so that she was very concerned about the tomb keeper, but since the tomb keeper hadn't shown up for a long time, she didn't get any information until recently.

So when she learned that Lu Zhan had been in contact with the tomb keeper for a while, and the relationship seemed to be pretty good, she kept paying attention to this guy and planned to ask some information from him, but she unexpectedly got a surprise... …

"From the reaction point of view, this guy seems to know the man with the rose earrings..."

Yan thought in her heart, in He Shang's description, Lu Zhan seemed to be a person with a strong sense of responsibility, and if he was such a person, when he learned such important information, he shouldn't have said it on the spot.

As for the reason, it is not difficult to guess, the reason for hiding something is probably because this guy named Lu Zhan is worried about something...

For example, he and the man with the rose earrings are good friends?Or maybe it was because some undisclosed secrets were involved in the process of getting acquainted with that man...

Yan closed her eyes, and opened them slowly after a while, there seemed to be a flash of light in her eyes.

"So that's the case, is it still related to the tomb guard..."

She was thoughtful.

Meanwhile, He Shang's narration continues——

"Actually, on the day when Extreme Night City was destroyed, not only Extreme Night City... but also Tingyu Village disappeared."

Everyone's expressions changed when they heard the words, and He Shang said solemnly, "Since that day, the strange phenomenon that only the sound of rain can be heard in Tingyu Village has disappeared, and since then it has become another strange phenomenon-the village rains every day. Rain, heavy rain visible to the naked eye."

Xue Hongyu said: "According to my guess, this means that the danger of Tingyu Village has been eliminated. Its previous danger has always come from the rain that cannot be seen, so the moment the rain can be watched, it means That kind of weird killing rules have been changed."

Everyone was puzzled: "But is there any connection between this and the destruction of Extreme Night City?"

"Of course there is."

Xue Hongyu said in a firm tone, "Because it's not the explorers who cleared Tingyu Village... but the Hell Without Days."

Her tone was calm, but the faces of those who heard these words did not change.

Restricted areas Clear restricted areas?Mutual interference between restricted areas?What a joke!
"Half a year ago, the way for the explorers to clear the forbidden area was very simple, or rather a single method - that is to kill all the creatures in the forbidden area, and the method of intervening in the restricted area by finding the core spar of the restricted area was discovered later."

Xue Hongyu didn't care about everyone's looks, and said slowly, "Most of the rules of the restricted area are closely related to the creatures in the restricted area, so when all the creatures in the restricted area die, the rules will naturally no longer work, because the rules have lost their executors...so That's the cleanest way to clear no-go zones and crises."

"However, please note that the ineffectiveness of the rules does not mean that the rules have been eliminated. In fact, we have not really erased the rules of any restricted areas so far, so like some restricted areas that only rely on rules to kill people, we cannot eliminate them at all. It serves as a safe zone."

Everyone thought about it, and soon understood Xue Hongyu's meaning: "Ting Yu Village has no restricted creatures as executors, they just use their own rules to kill people, so when the rain can be seen, it means that this rule has been wiped out." Except...and it is not human beings who can do this, only powerful beings in the restricted area, is that what you mean?"

"Well, everyone must have heard of the existence of the Gravekeeper. Although he is listed as an S-level taboo sequence, he is also a powerful forbidden creature."

Xue Hongyu nodded and said, "According to the current information, when the tomb keeper appears in the restricted areas, the rules inside will be changed because of his arrival. I think the situation in Tingyu Village is somewhat similar to this." , but how it is realized is temporarily unknown.”

Hearing the name of the gravekeeper again from someone else, Lu Zhan's mood was inexplicably complicated.

"Of course, it's just similar."

At this moment, Xue Hongyu continued, "Compared to the fact that the rules were erased by a more powerful force, I am more inclined that someone deliberately changed the rules of Tingyu Village for a purpose."

Lu Zhan's heart moved: "So this is related to the destruction of Extreme Night City?"

But Xue Hongyu shook his head and said: "No, to be precise, the destruction of Jiye City and the change of Tingyu Village's rules happened at the same time, and there is only one meaning of these two events—that is, to let Wu A certain existence in the day hell is out of trouble."

Everyone's heart trembled.

"But..." At this moment, someone said suspiciously, "Dr. Xue, creatures in the restricted area cannot leave the restricted area to interfere with the outside world, right? There has never been a similar situation in any of the major S-level restricted areas. exception."

This is a question that has troubled everyone for a long time. You must know that although the man with the earrings is there to help, it is absolutely impossible for Polar Night City to be easily destroyed if there is no dialogue from Hell of Never Day.

The strength of Extreme Night City is not weak.

But if Wuday Hell can make a move, it obviously does not conform to the law that creatures in the restricted area cannot interfere with the outside world in the past. Just as the person suspected just now, why is Wuday Hell so special?
Facing everyone's suspicious eyes, Xue Hongyu was silent for a while, no one could clearly see his eyes.

"That's right, it's true that creatures in the restricted area cannot attack people outside the restricted area, but what if the creature that attacked was not a restricted area creature? If there is an existence in the restricted area that is not a restricted area creature that has been planning for a long time to get out of trouble... then can he avoid it? Part of the rules of the restricted area, so as to interfere with the outside world?"

There is no doubt... this existence refers to the gods.

Everyone trembled

But according to Xue Hongyu's previous theory, gods, as nourishment sealed in the restricted area, should normally not have the power to interfere with the outside world; and if the gods can use their power in the restricted area... wouldn't it mean So they have broken free from the seal of the restricted area?
... At least they will no longer be nourishment.

"That's right, it's exactly what you think."

Xue Hongyu seemed to see through everyone's thoughts, and continued, "I found some clues about the situation on the day when the Extreme Night City was destroyed, and I asked Second Yama to do me a favor last night, and she also gave me help after that. I tell a blurry picture..."

Everyone's expression froze, and they quickly looked at the two Yan Luos in Huang Quan.

"prayer."

Yan took Xue Hongyu's words and said, "The streets and alleys are full of people. I saw people in the whole city kneeling on the ground, staring at the dark sky devoutly and praying."

Recalling the scene at that time, she narrated in as calm a tone as possible, "They were praying for the coming of the gods, and it seemed that they were answered, so they were satisfied, and then after the prayer ceremony...all of them ended their lives together. "

Everyone felt chills down their spines.

It turns out that the people in Extreme Night City did not die in battle...

People in the whole city knelt down to pray and committed mass suicide, as if they lost all reason... Just thinking about this scene makes people shudder.

In the next second, Yan's last words sounded slowly.

"If I'm not mistaken, that god's name...is called ignorance."
