Who hid my body?

After returning to the room, Ulu did not lie down on the bed. Instead, he closed the door and sat down with his back against the door.

It was still raining heavily outside the window, and the strong wind was blowing the rain against the old-looking windows, as if some indescribable existence was roaring at the Uru in the room. And this small room became the only shelter.

Ulu slowly closed his eyes.

He didn't know why he did that just now. Now Corey knew he was in the city. It could be said that the more he did, the more mistakes he made.

Why is that?

Ulu himself couldn't find the reason, and he didn't want to find it anymore.

He was tired, really tired.

In a trance, he heard a strange sound.

"Crunch, crunch..."

what is that?

Ulu didn't know, he just felt that the voice was familiar yet strange. Then he heard the sound of two people talking. It was vague at first, but soon became clear.

"Mom, was that a cicada just now?"

"probably."

“When the cicadas start to chirp, does that mean there will be a harvest?”

"Haha, I will."

"Mom, are you going to be okay... You are going to be okay!"

"Of course, silly child, of course mom will be fine."

The scenes in his memories became clearer little by little. Ulu saw the heavy snow all over the sky, and on the snow, his mother's face as pale as paper, trying hard to smile at him.

Ulu woke up suddenly and felt his face was wet, as if he had been caught in the rain. This made him subconsciously look up at the window. He thought that the dilapidated window had been destroyed by last night's heavy rain.

But what he didn't expect was that the window was still closed.

And the rain stopped.

Although there were still dark clouds in the sky, making the whole city look gloomy, Ulu knew that it was already dawn.

But even though it was daybreak and the rain had stopped, it did not bring the slightest sense of freshness. Instead, the humid water vapor in the air made it so oppressive that it made people feel breathless.

Ulu was silent for a long time before wiping the "rain" off his face.

The dreams of the past are becoming clearer and clearer.

It had been so long since Ulu had dreamed of his mother's face so clearly that he almost thought he had forgotten it.

Memories that he thought were dead are chasing him.

Ulu didn't know whether this was good or bad.

But the dream just now made Ulu feel a little strange and a little uncomfortable, as if something was not right.

But he couldn't remember it for the moment, and trying hard to recall it only made his head ache unbearably. So he shook his head vigorously, getting rid of those strange thoughts in his mind, and then he gradually calmed down.

"Visas." Uru said slowly, "Are you awake?"

"Of course." Bai Wei said calmly, "I haven't slept in a while."

"So are you ready?"

Bai Wei smiled: "The question should be, are you ready?"

"...Although I don't know why you have to stay until today to tell everything." Ulu said, "But today must be the last day."

"Of course, I will tell you everything." Bai Wei said, "Today."

Ulu nodded silently, then opened the door and prepared to leave.

Then he found a plate outside the door, with grilled sausages and fried eggs on it.

Ulu was stunned for a moment, then he slowly bent down, grabbed the sausage and fried eggs with his hands without using a knife and fork, and stuffed them directly into his mouth. After he finished eating them in a hurry, he whispered.

“There has been progress indeed.”

……

As soon as Ulu went downstairs, he saw a scene that surprised him.

The proprietress Kaiya was cleaning with Leah.

Kaiya, who was so weak that she could hardly stand up last night, now looked radiant, with all her fatigue and sleepiness gone.

"Good morning, sir!" Leah was very happy about this change, and her words of greeting to Ulu were full of joy.

"Good morning, guest." Kaiya also said to Uru with a smile.

It seems like I'm really healed.

But Ulu thought of something and pursed his lips little by little.

Because this wasn't the first time he had experienced this.

This made him feel even more depressed, so he did not respond to the two of them. He just nodded and quickly walked past them.

Then, he heard Kaia whispering in his ear.

"Sir, please take care of the letter."

Uru turned to look at Kaya, and on the counter behind her was the candle lamp.

The flame was flickering, as if it would burn out in the next second.

But at this moment, the light it emits seems to be brighter than last night.

"……understood."

Ulu nodded silently, then stepped into the alley where the water was still lingering.

……

Looking at the heavy rain outside the window which had completely stopped, "Night Raven" Knight Matthews lit a cigarette for himself with a melancholy look.

"Why did the rain stop?" Matthews sighed while smoking.

If the rain continues, today's work will most likely be cancelled.

Although the work of the Night Crow is very special, that is, the undertaker, according to the Rhine regulations, no matter what the weather is, the work of the Night Crow is not allowed to be postponed or cancelled. But that was a rule a long time ago, after all, and few people follow it now. Anyway, there are so many people dying every day, and it is impossible to finish the funeral, so it doesn't matter if it's a day earlier or later.

Not to mention...

Matthews looked at the crow mask on the table and sighed again.

Not to mention that you have to wear this mask the whole time when you are working. To be honest, wearing this mask in this kind of weather is really torture.

I just hope that not so many people died today so that he can come back and rest earlier.

But he knew that was impossible, for today was a "harvest" day and was destined to be very busy.

He glanced at the time on his watch. There were still a few minutes before the gathering, which should be enough time for him to finish this cigarette.

But at this moment, there was a knock on his door.

Matthews frowned: "Who is it?"

The person knocking on the door didn't say anything, but just knocked harder.

"... Damn it, it's killing me." Matthews muttered as he stood up and opened the door, "Can't you just let me smoke this cigarette first..."

Before he could finish his words, a knife was stabbed into his throat.

His eyes widened, his body unconsciously took two steps back, and then fell to the ground.

The man stepped over his body and put the short robe belonging to Night Raven on the hanger on himself.

"you you you……"

Matthews covered his throat tightly and wanted to say something, but the blood began to flow back and he couldn't utter a word.

His consciousness was rapidly blurring, and he tried his best to hold on until he saw the man walk to his table and slowly put on the Night Crow mask that symbolized death.

"Matthews, assemble!"

Someone is shouting outside the house.

So he walked out like this, and his movements were as natural as if he had returned home, put on his own clothes, and then went out to work.

The last image Matthews saw before his consciousness completely faded was the man's glance back as he closed the door.

This was the only time the two looked at each other.

Under the dark crow mask,

A pair of cold and ruthless eyes.

"boom".

The door is closed.

Ulu walked towards this sunless day.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 56 Fifty-Six Visas! Speak!

"Matthews, are you ready? We have gained a lot today."

When Uru walked out of the Night Crow's room, he ran into two other Night Crows. They were all wearing masks and couldn't see each other's faces. One of the Night Crows, who looked like the leader, greeted Uru directly, as if he had been waiting for him here for a long time... Of course, to be more precise, he was waiting for the guy who was no longer alive.

This was the fourth "colleague" Ulu had killed so far, and it was also the most skillful and ruthless one.

And all this was naturally under Bai Wei's command. Although Uru wanted to know why Bai Wei knew so much about the most mysterious Night Crow Unit in the Rhine Cult, not only knowing their location, but also the name of one of them, and even knowing when to enter, when to push the door, when to kill, and what to do afterwards.

Everything is in his calculation.

If it were in the past, this would make Ulu feel fear and dread, but today, at this moment, he didn't want to think too much about it.

There was only one thing he wanted to know.

Just one thing.

"You're quite silent today." The leading Night Crow looked at Uru with some surprise, but nodded immediately. "But this is also good. We should be less noisy on this trip. Let's get ready and set off."

Uru and the remaining Night Crow nodded at the same time, and then followed the leading Night Crow out of the dormitory.

Night Raven Knight.

The most special existence in the Rhine Church. Everyone knows it, but no one wants to meet it.

Because the dark crow mask symbolizes death.

The three crows walked silently through the alley full of water. The heavy leather boots should have made a dull sound, but it became crisp because of stepping on the water.

But the passers-by who saw them did not stop fearing them because of the sound. They all stepped aside, and those with children held them in their arms, fearing that they would walk around and bump into them. So they walked smoothly through the streets and alleys, and soon came to a small church, where a priest was waiting for them in advance.

"Good morning," the priest greeted them. "What terrible weather."

"If you know the weather is bad, don't waste time." The leading Night Crow made a hoarse voice, which looked even weirder after it penetrated the heavy mask. "How many are there?"

"I have five here." The priest sighed softly. It was unclear whether he felt sorry for the five deaths or because the increased workload was troubling him. Ulu was more inclined to the latter. "Come with me. Let's get it done as soon as possible. Don't let those noisy guys drag us down."

The three night crows followed the priest and walked for about ten minutes before arriving at a house.

The priest pushed the door open and Uru, who was following him, saw a coffin.

There was a middle-aged woman lying in the coffin, her body was covered with white flowers, but not many, just like the relatives in the house at that moment.

"Master Father, you are here at last."

"We've been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Do you still remember me? You treated me last time and the medicine you prescribed was very effective!"

The relatives immediately gathered around and chattered with the priest.

It didn't feel like a funeral at all.

The priest had to raise his hand to stop these "enthusiastic" relatives: "Okay, okay, let's start early, and we can talk about it later if there is anything."

"Of course, of course. Business is more important. Business is more important."

Ulu looked at the scene in front of him coldly through the mask.
