Chapter 15: Discoveries in the Cemetery
It was already eight o'clock in the evening when I got back to the manor.
The foreman opened the door and bowed heavily. Due to the inconvenience of transportation, Ning Hao was ready to arrange a room for him.
"Doglegs, in the future, you will go home to accompany your wife and children on weekends, and you will live here on weekdays, and you can pick a bedroom for a while.
I also told you before, I won't let you follow me for nothing, and when I get money for handling the case, I will pay you another salary, and your job is to take care of the manor and serve me well. ”
The foreman said, "Yes, master! ”
"By the way, what about Tomie?"
"She's been in the cemetery all day, and she doesn't know what she's doing."
Ning Hao thought of that night, there was a sound of knocking on the coffin board in the cemetery, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his back.
What is Tomie doing at the cemetery at this time?
Called the foreman and came to the cemetery full of curiosity.
At this time, the moonlight was slightly cool, faintly and obliquely shining on the rows of cold stone tablets, and the desolate wind was singing lonely, which was very mad.
Ning Hao called: "Tomie, where are you?" ”
It's okay if you don't call, but you'll be shocked when you call!
Bang bang bang!
Under a nearby tomb, there was the sound of knocking on the coffin board. Ning Hao jumped forward and withdrew a few steps.
"Oops! You've stepped on my hair! ”
When he looked down, he saw that the dead man's head had come to his heels.
Ning Hao said: "Why are you coming to this kind of place, it's so scary here, aren't you afraid?" ”
"I only have one head left, and I'm still afraid of this place?" Tomie replied after a few casual words, "I've been here for a day. I was thinking about how I got to the manor, why I was trapped in the TV, and I thought about it...... It seems to have a bit of an eyebrow. ”
"What's the eyebrow?"
"I think I came here because I was involved in a game."
"What game?"
"It's like an escape game."
"And then, you didn't escape, and you were dismembered?"
Tomie rolled his head, Ning Hao looked at her strange behavior and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
"I'm shaking my head!"
Tomie gave Ning Hao a blank look.
Ning Hao felt that she had a big temper today, and she should still be angry because Ning Hao didn't take her out.
Tomie continued, "I feel like I'm the one chasing people...... And not the escape! You look at these tombstones, the words on them are very strange. ”
Ning Hao lowered his head, and with the help of the moonlight, he looked at a tombstone in front of him.
It's actually in English!
"So you don't know English."
Tomie said angrily: "You take a closer look at the content on it!" ”
Reading it carefully, Ning Hao also felt so strange.
The tombstones I usually see are written when so-and-so was born and when he died, and sometimes the names of the deceased's relatives are engraved......
And here the tombstone, with only one profession and one name engraved on it.
For example, this one in front of you:
THE GARDENER
Emma Woods
Ning Hao took a few steps forward and found another tombstone, which read:
THE DANCE HOSTESS
Margaretha Zelle
Almost every tombstone is engraved with an unbelievable occupation and a foreigner's name.
"Tomie, did you say you vaguely remember being imprisoned on TV because of a game?"
"That's right, so I guess this cemetery is actually the burial place of the game's participants. Those who did not succeed in escaping would be buried here as living corpses. ”
"Living corpses?" Ning Hao's expression froze and asked, "Is it a zombie?" ”
"No, it's a group of people whose souls have been harvested, and whose resentment remains in their bodies and have not yet died. So I wondered, will my body be buried in these tombs as well? ”
"But these tombstones are all occupations and names, do we have to look for them one by one? There are so many graves here, do you know which one buries your body? Moreover, you say that you were dismembered, even if you find your body, whether you are missing arms or legs, it is not certain. ”
"It's a game of five people, and if I'm one of them, there's four others, and I think I was mutilated by those four people."
"Are you sure?"
"When I was in the well before, you asked me why I didn't split and copy, and I really didn't know why I lost this ability."
Ning Hao lowered his eyes, thinking that Junji Ito's Tomie is just a fictional character, even if it really exists, this Tomoe, whether it is that Tomie or not, is uncertain.
"Maybe you won't be divided," he said. ”
Tomie gave Ning Hao a blank look.
"I think it's because before I entered the game, I made a pact with the other four people, and this pact was that if they managed to escape, then I had to be mutilated and not copied! That's the price of losing! ”
This kind of gambling contract is even more terrible than the "-eating gambling contract" between himself and Ma Yang!
Ning Hao looked at Tomie sympathetically and said, "If you especially want to find your body, why don't we dig up the coffins from the grave one by one and see if your hands, hands and feet will be inside?" ”
"It's too risky, and I don't even know if these living corpses are aggressive. In such a situation, digging up the grave and exhuming the corpse is simply self-defeating! ”
Seeing that Fu Jiang cared so much about his safety, Ning Hao couldn't help but smile slightly: "Then is there anything else that can be done?" ”
"I don't know, maybe we can take a look at the diary in the study. After all, you found me because of those diaries. ”
The three of them immediately returned to the study and took out their diaries.
Unsurprisingly, the title page of the diary is signed, and most of them are tombstone-like, with occupation and name.
But in the diary about Tomie, nothing is written.
Ning Hao opened the other diaries, and they were all blank pages!
"Why is it all blank?" Ning Hao flipped through several books, all of which were the same.
"You call the system and ask." Tomie prompted.
Call system!
At this time, a hoarse voice came to Ning Hao's mind: "Is there anything I need to ask?" ”
"Why are these diaries empty?"
"Oh, and the contents of each journal are unlocked as you solve a case."
It turns out that as long as Guo Xue's case is revealed, the contents of a diary can be unlocked.
It's just, how many cases do you have to go through to find Tomie's body?
Thinking of this, Ning Hao asked again: "Then why can Tomie's diary be unlocked independently?" ”
"That's the initial setting, any diary you get for the first time, you can choose to unlock it and restore the case! However, there is only one book like this, which proves that you are related to Miss Tomie. ”
!
"Then let me ask you, how can I help Tomie find his dismembered body?"
"Wouldn't you check that journal yourself? Today's problem has reached the daily supply limit, for details, next time to break down. ”
Doodoo ......
The other person has hung up, please call again the next time they want to answer.
What the hell?
After Ning Hao said "hey", he picked up the diary about Tomie and turned to the latest page.
It reads: Whether to unlock new missions and get clues to the case. Yes/No?
After clicking "Yes", a string of explanatory text jumps onto the page......
