Chapter 223: 'Man'

Tang Shui looked at Gu Yun carefully, feeling that this person was a bit naïve, not like he was lying, and in this case, it seemed that there was no need to lie.

But now that the faceless ghost is dead, and Master Huijue has passed away, if Gu Yun and Chengming miss it again, then there is really no one who knows Chengming's whereabouts anymore.

"I don't know where Cheng Ming went, but I can help you get rid of that 'meat ball'."

Gu Yun came this time, not for a huge honorarium, but purely for the sake of Mr. Jin's face, but he didn't expect that the "meat ball" would stab him in the back when he couldn't protect himself.

He wanted to rush into the villa of "Meat Ball" right now and pull him out of the heavy turtle shell and teach him a good lesson.

But before that, there's one more important thing to do.

"Come on, let's bury them first."

Gu Yun handed the shovel to Tang Shui, these soul slayers had not exchanged a few words, and they were poisoned by the reef without even knowing their names, although they didn't have any friendship, but a colleague, and now the only one who can help a few people with the aftermath is the two of them.

As soon as they leave, I am afraid that they will be forgotten like the victims who were buried here before.

"You wait for me here, I'll go find some wood first."

Although he didn't know Gu Yun's purpose, Tang Shui still did it.

The shovel tossed through the slightly damp dirt of the cemetery, and each time it went down harder than the last, what happened on the hill was unexpected, and the changes tonight were really overwhelming.

After digging the soil, Tang Shui put on a Bluetooth headset, and after the contact was connected, the silence at both ends lasted for a long time, and he could only hear the sound of shovels entering the soil again and again.

"What are you doing?"

In the end, Tang Lingling spoke first.

"Dig up the earth, bury the body."

"Who did you kill?"

"It's not me, that guy hired a reef killer, and all the soul slayers who traveled with him were killed."

"Reef killers? Are you okay? ”

"It's okay, it's the two of them who have something?"

"Is it Gu Yundong's hand?"

“…… Miss, didn't you think I did it? ”

"You don't have this ability, you can only run when you encounter a reef killer, and you will be the one who can't run away and be buried."

Tang Lingling said unceremoniously on the other end of the phone, "Of course, it is not ruled out that you have been killed by someone, and someone is simulating your voice to talk to me." ”

"And what would you do if I were killed, Miss?"

It's all topics that have nothing to do with the task, but Tang Shui suddenly wants to talk to someone, even if it's just being reprimanded by the other party, his situation just now is not an exaggeration, if Gu Yun loses to those two killers, the next person to be buried will really be him.

"Maybe next year today, I will come to X City to serve you a stick of incense."

"It's enough to have your words."

Although he knew that Tang Lingling was joking, Tang Shui still felt warm in his heart.

As Carmen's next successor, Mademoiselle's every move is closely monitored by the chief, and she can't go wherever she wants.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Miss often likes to stay in the Internet café silently watching others play games, and if she meets someone she can talk to, she will help the other party steal an item, which is probably her maximum willfulness.

"By the way, about Chengming, I asked Gu Yun."

"What did he say?"

"He doesn't know, when he arrived at the Demon Suppression Tower, he had already missed it with Chengming, I think he was telling the truth, there is no need to waste time on him anymore."

"Got it."

Contact was lost.

Tang Shui turned his head and found that Gu Yun had taken out all the wallets on the corpse, he opened the wallets in turn, found the objects that could prove the identity of the corpse, and then carefully used his index finger to engrave the names and information on the objects on the wooden skewers that he found out of nowhere.

The text on the wooden skewer looks like a simple inscription.

This is also one of the traditions in the village, when Gu Yun was a child, whenever someone died, the villagers would bury their bodies in the land outside the village, and then find some objects to engrave some commemorative words like he did now.

It was only when the war broke out, and every battle was full of casualties, and the villagers gradually became numb, so they just found the corpses that could still be found, gathered together, and lit a fire to burn them down.

Gu Yun himself had always been a staunch Horse Leather Shroud, and he didn't understand the meaning of this ritual before.

And when he saw these nameless corpses on the ground just now, he suddenly had the idea of wanting to help them leave something, he thought that this might be because he was talked about a lot by his sister and An Ling after coming to this world, and he would start to have some unnecessary thoughts after encountering something.

"The cemetery gate is almost enough to bury them."

After making the wooden sticks, Gu Yun dragged several masters into the cemetery, and each time he buried one, he would stand the made wooden sticks on top of the mound.

To be honest, he didn't know what the specific meaning of this was, maybe when the police came here to investigate the case in the future, these wooden sticks could leave them some insignificant clues.

It was half an hour before the body was buried.

Tang Shui tiredly threw the shovel aside and lit a cigarette in the real sense of the word.

There are a total of seven mounds, plus eight Taoist priests under the trees outside the cemetery, but it is a pity that the body of the fat monk was dragged away by the housekeeper and could not be buried with these masters.

"Do you want to bow?"

Gu Yun didn't know the specific ritual and asked.

"Yes."

Tang Shui exhaled a puff of smoke rings, then straightened his face and bowed reverently in the direction of the mound.

If there is an afterlife, I hope you will stay away from this business.

Not a good job.

Tang Shui silently read in his heart.

Gu Yun imitated Tang Shui's appearance and bowed forward.

But at the moment of bending down, he saw the woman in white who suddenly appeared beside him.

The woman in white also leaned over, and the black silk hung down to block her pale face, and her figure was translucent, and her appearance looked somewhat familiar.

Isn't this the female ghost in white he met on the way when he came by car during the day?

It's just that this female ghost is really a little weird.

Neither did the demons and monsters he encountered in the Hidden Dragon Temple attack him with their teeth and claws, nor did they immediately raise a puff of black smoke, enveloping the entire cemetery in a miasma of black smoke.

Gu Yun could only sigh that the world was so big that there were no surprises, and now even female ghosts would come to worship the dead.

After bowing, the female ghost turned her head.

Her face was not hideous, but rather clear-eyed—at least for a ghost.

"You ......"

The distance between the two was so close that Gu Yun couldn't help but hesitate a little.

The appearance of this female ghost faintly made him feel a little familiar, and after some thought, he finally remembered the photo frame he saw when he first entered the villa in the early morning, and the female ghost in front of him seemed to be the woman in the frame.

"Please help me give this to him."

The ethereal tone echoed in Gu Yun's ears, and before Gu Yun could ask, the figure of the female ghost had already disappeared.

With a soft sound, a jade pendant fell on the dirt.

Gu Yun picked up the jade pendant and fell into deep thought.

"Tang Shui."

"Huh?"

"Who did she say she would give this jade pendant to?"

"Give it to 'him'."

"Who is 'he'?"

"How do I know?"
