Chapter 195: Asking for Directions
Wrong! Wrong!
Nameless repeatedly filtered through his mind what had happened during this time and the clues he had obtained, and the newspaper would never give a task that would allow the executor to return safely.
This mission is extremely special, judging from the attitude of the people of Peach Blossom Village, it seems that they have never seen the existence of evil spirits, perhaps they regard the killing method of evil spirits as a curse!
And the way of death is what they call "disease".
Then, if the executor puts himself into the perspective of the people of Peach Blossom Village, Nameless is obviously in the early stage of infection, and Huang Hui may be in the middle stage of infection.
So far, there is no big problem, but some of the abilities have been lost.
The three-day period mentioned by Uncle Chen refers to the survival time after the initial stage of infection, so if Huang Hui's illness appears, it is impossible for her to live for three more days, maybe two days, maybe she will die tomorrow!
Nameless looked at the straw on his calf and looked down to wonder, if the evil spirit's death was really regarded as a disease, would there still be a problem of deterioration of the condition?
Perhaps there are multiple dead ends in this mission, and each trigger will exacerbate the deterioration of the condition, three days is simply an ideal period, once they get sick, other dead ends will gradually emerge, and as they take the next action, the disease will become more and more serious.
Until the time of the outbreak is greatly reduced, and then death!
Sure enough, the task given by the newspaper will definitely not be so easy, only in this way can it conform to the tone of the newspaper's mission!
Thinking of this, Nameless's thinking became clearer, so Xu Lang's inference from the very beginning was correct!
Their way to survive this mission is to find out why the people of Peach Blossom Village have survived for so long!
It can be seen from the consequences of Uncle Chen's unafraid of the rules that they have a set of methods to avoid or ignore the dead end, and the illness does not seem to be taken to their hearts in their eyes.
Obviously, they have a cure!
Hope began to regain on Nameless's face, but he looked at Uncle Chen's back again, a little uncertain.
The strange way of existence of the people of Peach Blossom Village, are they still not human?
The most urgent problem now is not the problem of the condition, but the eccentricity of the people of Peach Blossom Village!
If they're human, that's fine, but what if not?
How could the executor take a life from the inhuman?
Even their identity is also the most important part of this mission, maybe the people of Peach Blossom Village are the evil spirits of this mission!
Figuring out the identity and position of the people of Peach Blossom Village is the most difficult problem now, but it is also a problem that must be overcome!
Uncle Chen turned around with the coffin at this time and looked at Nameless: "Aren't you still leaving?" ”
Nameless came to his senses from his thoughts, and also looked at Uncle Chen, what was hidden under the black robe.
Nameless has experienced too many strange things, even if this Uncle Chen seems to be infinitely powerful, ignoring the dead end and not breathing, he still can't recognize that Uncle Chen is one of the evil spirits!
Even friend or foe can't be distinguished.
However, what he can be sure of is that now the executor is in the same boat as Uncle Chen, and they need to complete this funeral and get clues, and Uncle Chen also attaches great importance to the funeral.
This is the only thing they have in common!
Nameless narrowed his eyes slightly, got up from the ground, picked up his crutch, and began to stagger forward.
Everything seemed to be back to normal, Rong Chuan, John, Huang Hui and Uncle Chen carried the coffin with difficulty, climbing forward, and the nameless on one side swayed paper money.
Huang Hui's condition seemed to be much better, and her spirits began to refresh, although the rope on her side was broken, she was still able to barely move forward after re-knotting the rope.
Although her body was extremely tired, for her, her heart was a lot more stable.
Even though she knew now that she had triggered a dead end, she felt safe when she learned that she would die in three days!
Because, in her opinion, even if she were to die, she would not die until three days later, and they would have returned to the newspaper long after three days.
But as she walked, she sensed something was wrong.
Her movements began to become more and more slow and difficult, and her entire limbs seemed extremely stiff, and each step seemed as if she had to use all her strength.
There were beads of sweat on her forehead, but strangely, she didn't feel any weakness at all, she just felt that she couldn't use her strength.
But she didn't take it to heart, because she had carefully examined various parts of her body before carrying the coffin, and there was no trace of it turning into straw.
She let out a long breath, only to assume that it was the after-effect of excessive physical loss.
Rong Chuan and John, who were at the front, kept burying their heads and hunched forward, this grave mountain trail seemed to them to be endless, originally Uncle Chen had said before going up the mountain that it would take about an hour to arrive.
However, during the carrying of the coffin, the anomaly was delayed for a long time, and now it has come to an hour.
Rong Chuan was distressed in his heart, Rao is physical fitness is very good, and he is about to be unable to hold on at this time.
Especially during the period after the coffin landed, he always felt that the weight of the coffin was getting heavier and heavier, I don't know if it was an illusion, but the feeling of being more strenuous was real!
Originally, when he had just come out of the mourning hall, he still felt that the weight of the coffin was very light, and he didn't use too much strength.
But along the way, the pressure is getting bigger and bigger, and the coffin in the rear is getting heavier and heavier.
Is the coffin filled with dead people?
Why is there a discrepancy in front and back weight?
Rong Chuan thought for a long time, and finally decided to ask Xiang Nameless to see if there was another unknown change on the side of the coffin, but just as he was about to speak, John on the side suddenly raised his head and pointed forward.
"Look," he shouted, "We are at last at the graveyard!" ”
When Rong Chuan heard this, the words he was about to say were choked back, cemetery?
He hurriedly raised his head and looked ahead.
To be precise, you should look down the mountain, although this mountain is called the Tomb Mountain, but the location of the cemetery is located on the shady side of the mountain.
Before, they had only walked on the sunny side of the tomb mountain, that is, uphill, and they looked very tired.
As far as the eye can see, the back slope under their feet is full of tombstones one after another.
One by one, the graves stood on the slope, and there was a little ghost fire floating around, and the whole cemetery was above the sky, I don't know if it was the weather or what was going on.
All of them were shrouded in a faint green smoke, which looked extremely hazy and eerie.
The large number of graves and tombstones are continuous, as if endless, and when you look at the situation, you can't count them until the end of the darkness.
After Rong Chuan glanced at it, he immediately shuddered.
Although it is a good thing to see the graveyard, the fear of walking through a large area of lonely old graves in the middle of the night, especially when they know that there are evil spirits in this world, is almost difficult to suppress in their hearts.
After Nameless glanced at it, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart, this scene of graves everywhere almost instantly reminded him of the so-called underworld in traditional mythology.
Everyone realized that the rest of the journey would not be easy.
In the past, everyone worked most of the time, at least they didn't encounter anything too unbelievable, but the next thing may be different......
Several people glanced at each other and swallowed at the same time.
Nameless frowned, looked at Uncle Chen, who had always been silent, and asked softly, "What is the next step?" ”
Uncle Chen unloaded the ropes from the wooden frame, and several people came to the hillside side by side, Uncle Chen stretched out his dry palm in the black robe, and pointed to the location of a remote cemetery in the distance.
He opened his mouth and said quietly: "We need to carry the coffin there, it is Chen Huanxi's exclusive grave." ”
Nameless stared at Uncle Chen's outstretched palm with a fierce look.
To be precise, his hand did not completely stretch out from the sleeve robe, but only exposed two fingers, and from the nameless sight, Uncle Chen's two fingers were different in length from ordinary people.
The nails, in particular, are long and thin, and are more like two thin sticks than fingers!
But Uncle Chen's movements were extremely fast, and he withdrew his hand almost under one finger.
Nameless stared at the grave he was pointing to in the distance, and his superior vision at night came into play, and he could roughly see that it was a grave that had been dug up, and a plank of wood was lying peacefully on top of the grave.
This distance, coupled with the limitation of the night, Rong Chuan and the others couldn't see clearly at all, they turned their heads and asked, "How far is it?" ”
Nameless estimated in his heart: "It's about five hundred meters away from us." ”
Hearing this, Rong Chuan was overjoyed: "Then wouldn't we be able to arrive in ten minutes?" ”
John and Huang Hui were equally excited when they heard this distance, after this period of terrifying experience, they wanted to end this terrible operation so much.
But Nameless shook his head: "We are facing a downhill slope immediately, and there are inevitably some rules in the cemetery at night, and this ten-minute journey may be more difficult than the previous hour!" ”
Rong Chuan and the others were stunned when they heard this, but then Uncle Chen on the side smiled.
"That's right, the previous rules still exist, regardless of the difficulty of carrying the coffin when going downhill, we still have one more critical step!"
"What?"
"Kowtow and ask for directions!"
Hearing this, Nameless frowned, chewed on the meaning of this, and did not continue to inquire and waited for Uncle Chen's next instructions.
Uncle Chen raised his head towards the grave bag under his feet, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said lightly:
"Every time you pass the main grave, you will bow down three times, kowtow three times, and pay three pieces of paper, and you will pass by if you have nothing to do...... None of us can go! ”
Then Uncle Chen turned to look at Nameless, "In other words, the person carrying the coffin can't do this step, and the person who kowtows to ask for directions can only be you!" ”
