Chapter 19: Something Doesn't Seem Quite Right
ยท
From the beginning, Xiao Yuxiang cared most about this corpse. If it weren't for the novelty of the situation, she would definitely not sit next to a corpse. Seeing Yuan Huang's arrogant attitude of turning a blind eye, she was also affected a little, but now that the main doubts about the Heavenly Palace have been solved, she has to ask Sister Bed no matter why there is a dead person here.
She was born into the upper class and rarely saw corpses, unable to turn a blind eye.
But Yuanhuang is the opposite, born in a small village with low human life, has been to a big town with a huge gap between the rich and the poor, has traveled across the ocean to see the Fire Clan people who don't take their lives seriously seriously, and Bai Guo, who can easily heal serious injuries and resurrect, and his values for life have been completely subverted again and again. Although he was a little curious about who the celestial man lying on the ground was, he was far from the others.
What's more, Yuan Huang is eager to re-embark on the journey of his dream of becoming an archmage. His mana was sealed at the moment, and he wasted three years of time, and he didn't learn anything. When he had seen the astonishing explosions and magical healing potions that destroyed a radius of hundreds of meters in an instant, he had already regarded the Heavenly Palace and the Rain Culvert Bed as a shortcut to becoming an archmage. He was worried from the bottom of his heart that if he made the bed sister unhappy, he would lose the thighs that he could hold tightly.
Thinking that "asking questions will annoy Sister Bed", he also thinks that "it's Xiao Youxiang who is entangled anyway, not me", so while dissuading Xiao Youxiang from asking around anymore, he secretly listened attentively to every word in the conversation.
Yu Hankou replied to Xiao Youxiang: "This deceased man is my captain, and the cause of death is the impact of the crash, and he suffered multiple severe fractures in his spine, and he died on the spot. On the other side of the spectrum is the "prosthetic robot", which is mainly used to perform chores, allow crew members to safely vent stress, camouflage, and quickly provide prosthetic limbs in an emergency. โ
โฆโฆ There were many words that the two of them could not understand.
Xiao Youxiang blinked blankly, and then elbowed the top source phoenix. She just wanted to ask Yuan Huang to explain privately as before, but was stopped by Yu Hanbed.
"Please, don't bother Lao Yuanhuang to explain, I'll come." Perhaps it was an illusion, there was a faint helplessness in Sister Bed's tone, "The robot is a humanoid metal structure artificially created by Walland using the power of science. They possess intelligence, physical strength, and skills that are no less than those of humans. Since it is not a living thing, it does not age and get sick, and it does not need to eat, but instead needs to be supplemented with specific energy. Based on what I've learned from books, there are no robots in your world, and they are new things you've never seen before. โ
Oh......
Xiao Youxiang nodded blankly, in fact, she didn't understand. Yuan Huang is also half-understood.
Because they were explicitly discouraged from communicating in private, it was difficult for the two to continue to talk to each other, and they had different understandings of the above explanations.
The key points that Xiao Yuxiang cares about are - "captain" and "prosthetic". The other explanations are too obscure, and this ear goes in and out of that ear, and it is completely indigestible. She understood only two things.
First of all, the man who died was the "bed chief" of Sister Bed. She knew what the captain and the regimental commander meant, and so on, the bed chief was naturally the leader of the Chase bunk, where many people slept. I'm afraid this man is one of the many husbands who are mainly bed sisters. Secondly, it is clear that the prosthetic leg of the source phoenix was removed from the metal golem.
And Yuan Huang's brain is much smarter than Xiao Youxiang's, and his mental concentration is also very high, so he has obtained a lot of valuable information from the above explanation.
The ring he took off was the "bed chief", that is, the chief of the bed sister. Thinking that you can enter and exit freely with this ring, I am afraid that the head of the bed is the real master of the Heavenly Palace, and the rain culvert bed may just be something like a housekeeper or a head maid.
The rain culvert bed only explained the cause of the bed's death, but did not mention why the robot was damaged. I'm afraid, as Genhuang speculated, that the bed chief attacked the robot. Sister Bed deliberately avoided talking about the reason.
As for the prosthetic robot, I'm afraid it's far from being as simple as the gold magic puppet that was originally speculated. It is not only the leg that can be removed, otherwise how can it be used as an emergency prosthesis. He can't figure out "camouflage" and "venting pressure", so he can only use it as a sandbag, right? โฆโฆ After all, the appearance of a metal skeleton is very durable, and the only pressure that can be vented is anger, and it cannot be any other pressure. Well.
What aroused Yuan Huang's greatest interest was the word "science", which was a new spell system unique to the Celestial Realm. He will find an opportunity to confirm as soon as possible, it is related to whether he can become an archmage as soon as possible!
He was immersed in thought, and couldn't help but sigh that Xiao Youxiang could still come in handy.
โฆโฆ It is useful!
His train of thought quickly switched from candid praise to conspiracy. In the three devastated years, Yuanhuang's personality inevitably became a little distorted, habitually grasping everything that could be used. It was because of the Origin Phoenix's efforts that the Prophet had said things like "That despicable little cub" and "Killed me forty-two times." At least, he dispelled the idea of breaking off the relationship with Xiao Yuxiang as soon as possible and never seeing each other again.
"So, let's bury the bedman, shall we?"
"Well, thank you very much, please."
Xiao Youxiang suddenly came out with such a sentence, and was allowed and affirmed by the bed sister.
Thereupon. Yuan Huang and Xiao Youxiang carried the corpse together and moved to the wall of the passage not far from the entrance of the palace.
At first glance, it looks like an ordinary metal wall, but as Yuan Huang expected, the entire palace has hidden mechanisms. When the wall was opened, it revealed a wide window. The construction is similar to that of a window projected on a small cylinder, with a thick glass window on the other side of the tunnel separated by some distance.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Youxiang asked again what this window was.
"This is the entrance to the Heavenly Burial. If a crew member dies on the way to outer space, according to Wallland's custom, a sky burial is required. Please carry the captain's body inside. โ
The two complied.
Stuffed into the corpse.
There was a thud, like pulling the cork from a red wine bottle, and the body was ejected. Yuan Huang looked through the glass window, and the situation of the small cylinder at that time was very similar, but the flight force was much smaller, and it was estimated that the landing point was only 100 meters away.
Yuan Huang scratched his head, thinking that the funeral of the Heavenly Realm people was really strange, how could it be like throwing garbage, and throwing it out would be counted?
"Ahh Moham! โ
Yuan Huang suddenly slammed his fist into the palm of his hand, and shouted abruptly, startling Xiao Youxiang.
"What are you doing, surprised?"
"Come with me!" Yuan Huang couldn't help but say that he took Xiao Youxiang's hand and ran outside the Heavenly Palace, and said hello to Sister Bed, saying that he would come back immediately.
The two of them walked out of the palace gate and ran all the way in the direction where the body had just been catapulted. Soon, they found the body of the man who had been "buried in the sky".
The two looked at each other speechlessly.
It's miserable.
Because the corpse was now head-down, its head deep in the earth, its shoulders propped up on the ground, its body hung with leaves that had been knocked off during the flight, and its legs were beautifully hung upside down. It looks weird, like a misshapen turnip.
Yuan Huang held his forehead and muttered, "Sure enough." โ
"What kind of strange funeral custom is this? Curious......" Xiao Youxiang stared at the seriously deformed corpse again, frowning deeply.
"It's not that the customs are weird, it's that the situation is different." If the palace is still floating in the sky, it is naturally looking forward to the deceased being accompanied by the breeze and clouds, and the meaning of eternal rest, but now that the palace has landed, it has become a bizarre funeral like garbage. With that, Yuan Huang began to peel off the white jumpsuit of the bed length, "Come, let's dig a pit and bury this poor guy who fell to the ground twice and almost turned into a mess of mud." โ
Xiao Youxiang listened, nodded, and prayed silently for a moment with her hand on her forehead.
Stop the source phoenix.
"Bury it, bury it, why are you taking off his clothes!"
"Auntie, look at my torn cotton jacket dyed with blood and mud now! Can't you change it with him? โ
Xiao Youxiang was stunned after hearing this: "Pick up the dead man's clothes, is it really good for you to do this?" โ
"Of course it's not good, otherwise why wouldn't I be embarrassed to speak in the palace at that time? As long as you talk too much, hurry up and dig a pit. Yuan Huang thought to himself, it wasn't just the clothes that were stripped off, otherwise where did the staff and ring come from?
