On this day, Gu Cheng finally walked out of the castle gate. Of course, whatever he does now must carry the Luke label.

Even if they sneak around in private, there are a few people in the manor who follow them all the time.

Now, Luke's reputation is indeed not good, and even his cheap dad is still full of distrust of Gu Cheng.

Well, compared to the previous foolish things, trust simply can't exist...

The family has not been ruined by it, which is already a blessing in misfortune.

Gu Cheng is not as favored as outsiders imagine in the manor, and his cheap father tries his best to protect himself, but he is just maintaining the face of the nobility.

In the upper classes, face is often more important than money.

Ignoring the tail following behind him, Gu Cheng ignored the strange gazes of the pedestrians around him, lowered the jazz hat he was wearing, covered half of his face, and turned directly into a small road.

West Street, Funeral Parlor.

Here, there is a cold atmosphere all year round, and the sun above the head has not been able to cover this place, and the evil atmosphere is very evil.

In this small place the size of a palm, the temperature in the air is always a few degrees lower than that of the outside world.

All kinds of offerings, melons and fruits, sheep's heads, and coffins erected on the side of the wall, filled the entire shop.

The owner of this funeral parlor is an elderly man.

His name is Valus, a guy with an eccentric temperament. The neighbors' evaluation of it is also average, and there is not much overlap.

But its business in the funeral industry has always been very good.

Colleagues in the city have long been angry about this, but there is nothing they can do.

He has white temples, a Mediterranean hairstyle, and a wrinkled and furrowed face, slightly hunchbacked.

The breath is faint, as if it will be buried in the earth in the next moment!

On the surface, this is an ordinary old man.

However, what impressed Gu Cheng the most was those eyes, sharp and shrewd.

"Yo!! Yo! See who's coming? Baron Luke! Welcome! ”

On crutches, Valus took three steps and made two steps, and came straight out.

Gu Cheng looked at the old guy who was performing vividly in front of him, and he also admired it for a while.

This old guy really brought the role of the funeral home corpse collector to life.

In just a series of small actions, both flattery for big people,,,, and in the bones, full of greedy desire for money are reflected in every word and deed.

Valus, playing the role of a neutral NPC in the city, is under the management of Gu Cheng.

It can be regarded as half of Gu Cheng's staff!

It's more about cooperating.

For example, the corpse piece...

The Dead crossed the barriers of the world, relying on the "merit" obtained by collecting corpses!

There are enough "merits" to even travel infinitely in the world of the living!

Of course, that's a lot of money!

The most basic one-year stay time limit requires ten times as many corpses of creatures of the same level as a base.

In other words, a year has passed in the cemetery, and I want to continue to stay in the "Living World" next year, for Gu Cheng!

Ten corpses equivalent to those of a powerhouse in the Soul Acceptance Realm must be delivered to the funeral home in their entirety.

Valus, who is not only the tax director of the city of Rhine, but also plays the role of a connector.

At the same time, he also had to build a copy for Gu Cheng, the "lord", and provide necessary assistance.

The rights given to Gu Cheng by the school were far higher than those of Valus, a peripheral member.

Because Gu Cheng led the construction of the three medium-sized copies, Kelly gave a great tilt in the allocation of basic personnel.

Valus is one of them.

Enter the house and close the door.

Open a hidden floor door and pass through the dark corridor staircase that leads to the underground, completely cutting off contact with the outside world!

At this point, Valus did not make any gestures.

walked directly into a side room alone and took out an iron box about one and a half meters long.

"This is what the Countess entrusted me to you."

Gu Cheng nodded, and did not open it on the spot.

Instead, his tone changed and he asked about another thing.

"What was the situation in the city of Rhine during the year?"

In the past year and a half, Gu Cheng really didn't have the slightest chance to go out.

That is, he was about to be exiled at this moment, so he was tacitly allowed to go out.

On weekdays, you don't want to escape from the castle.

Because of the role, his current identity still doesn't have any extraordinary power. It is not allowed to have any contact with the outside world in any way.

In this regard, the basic manual issued by the school explains it very clearly.

Important characters, in the early stage, must strictly follow the rhythm of the script.

Valus sat on a wooden bench, made a pot of tea on the spot, and poured a cup for Gu Cheng and himself, and then spoke slowly.

"The current situation can be summed up in one word, chaos. Because of the indiscriminate incursion of many non-staff personnel, the radiation area of Rhine City is on the verge of getting out of control.

Some rookies who don't know the situation are even more unscrupulous when they do things. There have been many successes that have attracted the attention of the native powers. ”

Gu Cheng nodded, and he was not surprised at all by this result. In order to supplement the "wild roles" of the school, it is naturally impossible for all of them to be filled by the students of the school.

Outward expansion is inevitable.

"Are there any abnormalities in the freshmen of our school?"

The world already has signs of promotion, and it has never been the school alone.

At best, it's just a project leader, a senior worker!

It is inevitable that the cemetery will have an influx of various foreign forces.

Confusion is only a matter of time.

Moreover, the upper limit of the number of people and strength that this world can withstand has greatly exceeded Gu Cheng's expectations, and all the situations will naturally get worse and worse!

Nothing surprising.

"The students in your school are naturally very well-behaved. It's just ,,," At this, Varus hesitated, his face a little ugly, but he continued.

"It's just that the traces of the Fourth Natural Disaster seem to have appeared within the limits of Rhine City."

"Shhh

Although the facial expression has not changed much, the cold hair on the whole body has already trembled involuntarily, and the two eyelids have subconsciously narrowed.

This news was completely beyond Gu Cheng's expectations.

The final advent time given by the school should be three years away, no, according to the current time, there should be a year and a half of preparation time.

But now, the other party does not seem to follow the content of the contract.

Don't?

Gu Cheng's thoughts were tumbling in his heart, and he gradually had a not-so-good idea.

"Valus!" Gu Cheng said suddenly.

"If you have any explanation, please tell me." Valus's tone was unusually sincere, and there was nothing pretentious about it at all.

In fact, there is indeed no possibility of bargaining on the other side. Although the corpse collector is very glamorous on the surface, it has great drawbacks.

For example, within the Rhine City, all the copies designed by Gu Cheng were uprooted, and the fate of Valus might be reversed to the Fourth Natural Calamity.

Always be his neutral NPC in this world.

The whole event, all the cause and effect, is a chessboard for the big guys, fiddling at will.

As chess pieces, they have no possibility of slacking off except struggling and struggling to survive.

As long as Valus wanted to return to the cemetery, the total number of corpses, along with some other unknown conditions, was an obstacle to his free access.

It's hard to imagine what his future will be after the Fourth Scourge takes over this area.

The cemetery is a holy place for all the dead to dream of, and this completely blocks the possibility of Valus rebelling.

"Take a chance, and before I leave, gather the ghosts of the Rhine City who are hiding in the shadows! It doesn't matter if you come or not, just get the word on. ”

"Okay, no problem." Valus agreed, and there was indeed nothing to hesitate about Gu Cheng's request.

Because of the special nature of its safe house, the funeral parlor is the safest place for the dead to be the seat of parliament.

Mailing of goods, black market trading, intelligence sharing.

These three things are the main work of the funeral home in the "world of the living".

"That's right. At the end of Lily Road, the southernmost part of the Rhine City, a third-party force has arrived. A few months ago, he had come here to ask for some information about the "lords" of this place! And left this. ”

From a nearby tin box, Valus took out a ten-cubicel plastic bump.

There is a large light bulb in the front, a grip on the back, and the whole body is wrapped in a kind of rubber shell.

"This is ... Flashlight? ”

Gu Cheng asked uncertainly.

This thing in front of me is indeed very similar to a flashlight.

"Yes. But there is a resentful soul living inside. Take it and arrive at the designated place to find the other person's location. Valus nodded truthfully.

Well, it's really a flashlight...

As for the resentment in it, Gu Cheng really felt it.

But so what?

There are too many resentful souls in the cemetery to count. In contrast, the flashlight can bring some novelty to Gu Cheng.

"Interesting."

。。。。。。

Leaving the funeral home, Gu Cheng was not ready to make any more cover-ups.

Carrying a one-meter-five iron box on his back, Gu Cheng boarded a steam bus and began to drive towards the north of the city.

Leave the city and put your feet on the soft dirt.

Gu Cheng sniffed the fragrance of the field, and his slightly tense mood was also slightly relieved.

Originally, Gu Cheng was not prepared to be so impatient, after all, the tail arranged by his cheap father would always make some small reports and add some unnecessary trouble to himself.

But the fourth natural disaster came ahead of schedule!

And also appeared in his jurisdiction.

You know, there's not a single copy in the entire area these days! After the fourth natural disaster comes, don't you want to pile it up directly?

Without the existence of a copy, Gu Cheng, Valus and other dead clans are no different from ordinary locals!

There is no shelter, and after a while, this will no longer bear any traces of the dead.

So how do you make money yourself? How to protect yourself?!

You must know that walking on the street by yourself, for the people, the two big words "villain" have been fiercely engraved on the top of their heads.

With his small body, facing a group of guys who are not afraid of death, it may be really difficult.

Gu Cheng came here alone, naturally it was not as simple as playing in the countryside.

In order to clean up the chaos in Rhine City as soon as possible, I need some helpers.

Or, to be exact, the 'gatekeeper'.

From Gu Cheng, come to this area!

All the guys on the dark side of society have already entered Gu Cheng's list.

The dead want to take the living as dependents when they are alive, either because of the strong obsession and resentment they had before they were alive, or because of their distorted personality and madness before they were born.

The former is contingent, but the latter is universal.

No matter how glamorous a social system is, there will always be those dark sides.

And this group of rats in the shadows happens to be the most suitable family candidates for the dead clan.
