Restricted area grave keeper

Chapter 64 Gu Nian
The male corpse was about twenty years old, with delicate features, shoulder-length hair, and a silver rose earring on his left ear. It seemed that he might have been an unruly artist before his death.

He looked pale, motionless, not breathing, and his chest didn't rise or fall at all—

About to be dead.

But Lu Zhan was suspicious in his heart. He probed the breath of the male corpse, but found nothing abnormal, but he didn't stop there. He was about to probe the left chest of the corpse, but was stopped by a hand.

"What do you want?" Bai Mo asked.

"See if he still has a heartbeat."

Lu Zhan explained that he felt that there was something wrong with this corpse.

The other party was wearing the latest brand-name clothes. Although it looked fake at first glance, it obviously showed that the other party had just appeared in this place not long ago, and he did not have the mud that Xia Yuxi mentioned before, nor did he have the pain of suffocation on his face... …

So how did this guy die?

Or... is he really dead?
Who would have thought that upon hearing his words, Bai Mo immediately shook his head and said, "No, you can't touch other people's chests."

"Why?" Lu Zhan was taken aback. Could it be that this is some kind of taboo of the tomb guards?

Bai Mo glanced at Xia Yuxi who was not far away, and said in a low voice, "What if the person in the coffin is a woman?"

"How could it be a woman?" Lu Zhan seemed a little puzzled. He pointed to the head of the male corpse, "Even if you don't look at the face, you should know that he is a man by looking at his chest..."

"I know, but this is my dream." Bai Mo shook his head and said, "He is indeed very flat, but flat is not necessarily a man."

"What is not a man?"

Lu Zhan could tell that Bai Mo had become a little abnormal again. He had been like this since he came to this place. You must know that now is not the time to entangle whether the corpse is male or female.

However, this may be one of the self-deception methods of the gravekeeper. The other party seems to be using some alternative concerns to distract himself.

Xia Yuxi, who was at the side, naturally heard Bai Mo's words, and felt that she had been greatly humiliated. She pointed at Bai Mo, gritted her teeth and said, "What's wrong with Ping, did Ping provoke you?"

I haven't settled accounts with this guy yet, how dare he connotate himself first?
Although she was very angry, she controlled her emotions in time and kept her voice low.

Hearing Xia Yuxi's voice, Lu Zhan was taken aback for a moment, then glanced at her, and then he came to his senses, showing a suddenly realized expression——

"Understood?" Bai Mo said.

"understood."

He nodded solemnly, thinking that it was so, no wonder Xu Jing said that this woman is very rich...

Bai Mo thought about it, and felt that even if he was dreaming, he couldn't go too far.

So he walked to Xia Yuxi's side, patted her on the shoulder lightly, and said earnestly, "Don't be discouraged, it's not a big deal, after all, the old saying goes well, the truth is the mediocrity."

When Lu Zhan heard this, he suppressed his smile and quickly gave Xia Yuxi a wink.

Xia Yuxi was furious, but she quickly understood what Lu Zhan meant. She pushed Bai Mo away, gritted her teeth and said, "It doesn't matter if he is a man or a woman, I'll just check this guy's heartbeat!"

After speaking, she directly approached the coffin and touched the left chest of the corpse.

There was no heartbeat, and the body was abnormally cold.

She shook her head at Lu Zhan.

But Lu Zhan still felt that something was wrong. After all, the strong force coming from the coffin just now was not fake. Even if the person in the coffin was not a living person, it could never be as simple as an ordinary corpse.

And according to the old man, there should be living people in this room.

But speaking of it... where did the one-eyed old man go?
There was no trace of the old man in the house, and he seemed to have disappeared without a sound.

Lu Zhan temporarily gave up thinking about this question. He waved to Xia Yuxi and said, "Give me the knife in your hand."

Xia Yuxi heard the words and quickly handed him the ice carving knife.

Seeing Lu Zhan walking towards the coffin with a knife, Bai Mo was a little puzzled: "What do you want to do?"

"It's nothing."

Lu Zhan spoke casually, but under the shocked eyes of Bai Mo and Mo, he stabbed the corpse in the coffin with a knife.

"Leave people under the knife!"

At this moment, a terrified voice sounded in the room, and the young man in the coffin opened his eyes in an instant, and performed an empty-handed catch.

Lu Zhan didn't hold back the knife at all, but the young man still caught it. He kept trembling and begged for mercy loudly: "Brother, spare your life, big brother, spare your life!"

Lu Zhan had no intention of stopping, and said coldly, "Who are you, why are you pretending to be dead in a coffin?"

"I'm pretending to be dead in order to survive, if I don't pretend to be dead, I'm really dead!"

"Stay alive?" Lu Zhan sneered, "Then why are you pretending to be a ghost to scare us?"

"I'm wronged!" The young man showed aggrieved face, "I left that seam for breathing, who knew that you suddenly wanted to close the coffin, can I not move?"

After Lu Zhan thought about it, it seemed that this was indeed the case. He put the knife away, but he did not relax his vigilance.

For the rest of his life after the catastrophe, the young man felt as if he had collapsed. He lay in the coffin and gasped for breath. After a while, he got out of the coffin and said with a sneer, "Hello, everyone, my name is Gu Nian."

"Are you alive or dead?"

Lu Zhan didn't intend to introduce himself, so he asked suddenly.

The young man named Gu Nian was taken aback for a moment, as if he didn't understand why, and he answered after a while, "Of course it's a living person."

"Then how did you get here?"

"me……"

Seeing that the young man hesitated to speak, Lu Zhan raised the ice knife in his hand, the threat was self-evident.

Seeing this, Gu Nian trembled all over, and quickly replied: "The door, we came in through a door!"

"us?"

"Yes, us. We all came in through the door." Gu Nian confessed honestly, "Just now you said that there is a person who can pass through walls, and he is actually one of my companions."

"What door?" Lu Zhan continued to ask.

If this guy is telling the truth, then the way the other party entered this place is obviously different from his and Xia Yuxi's, maybe this is a way to leave this place!

Under Lu Zhan's coercion, Gu Nian sighed and had no choice but to answer: "That door is in a tunnel in Extreme Night City, only a few of us know about it, and we came here after pushing it open."

"There are a lot of monsters in this place, and a group of corpses that can kill people. I had no choice but to hide in a coffin and pretend to be dead."

"Where is the door?"

"I don't know." Gu Nian said with a headache, "After I opened the door, I was chased by monsters and ran around. This place is like a maze. I can't find the door."

Having said that, his face couldn't help but darken a bit, "Many of us died, and the rest of us also got separated."

Bai Mo had been listening quietly, and suddenly asked, "What kind of door are you talking about?"

Gu Nian stared at him for a while, then recalled: "It's not a door, the door here is a cuboid with different patterns printed on all four sides, it's more like four doors spliced ​​together."

"There is only one door in the tunnel of Extreme Night City, and the pattern corresponds to one of the doors in this place."

"Four doors..." Lu Zhan murmured.

Bai Mo was silent.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door, and the figure of the one-eyed old man appeared in the darkness of the door, and the white crutch was faintly scarlet.

"Master, why did you go there just now?"

"Oh, nothing."

The old man raised his crutches, wiped them lightly with the cuff of his military coat, his eyes fell on Gu Nian, and his voice was cold.

"...It's just catching a little ant that doesn't know how to live or die."
