Chapter 1714: Hunting for the Shadow (10)
"Wait, what?!" Mutter was stunned for a moment, "Didn't you say you started until late at night?
In Mutter's eyes, Albert seemed to have seen the body of his old friend, and his brain suddenly changed his plan after a fever in his head. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, in reality, this was not the case, and Albert was now calm, and there was even a sparkle of wisdom in his eyes.
"The coffin is so big, you need a vehicle to move it out of the cellar. Albert said, "And going in and out of the cellar with such a large vehicle is bound to attract attention, no matter how dark the night is." "
"...... So?" Mutter was a little confused as he didn't know anything about Albert's plan.
"Fortunately, the Luffy in the coffin was not firmly frozen by the ice, which was only the most basic embalming treatment for the body. Albert said, "It's still possible to get the body out of the coffin." "
"So we'll come back in the dead of night tonight...... "Mutt still can't keep up with the train of thought of the tiger people, and he is a little confused.
Seeing that Mutter still hadn't figured out his plan, Albert shook his head and leaned into the cat-man boy's ear and muttered a few words.
The face of the cat-man boy changed immediately, and the pale kitten's face was even more bloodless than the cat-man boy lying in the coffin: "Are you crazy?!"
"I'm not crazy, so let's do it. Albert clasped his hands and pleaded, "Get rid of it, it's the request of my life." I can't just take Ruw's body back to the Melson Stone, the coffin must be carried. So I've wronged you, okay?"
The other party's plan is extremely crazy, and the cat man boy Mutt initially refuses. But Albert pleaded so earnestly, and Mut had no way to say no to the tiger, and after a few hesitations, he nodded in agreement: "Damn." I hate you------"
"You hate it," Albert began to lift the lid of the coffin, "but for now, let's finish what we have to do." "
Ten minutes later.
Albert carried the paralyzed cat-man boy out of the cellar.
"What's the matter with him?" asked the leopard guard guarding the door, puzzled.
When the boy saw the remains of his loved ones, he was so sad that he fainted from tears. Albert replied, using the strength of his shoulders to support Mutter's body again, "Sorry, we'll go back first." "
"Okay, okay. The leopard guards were not suspicious, and watched Albert and Mutter leave.
"By the way," added the tiger as he left, "the insulation conditions in the cellar are really enough for meow? "
"Is there such a thing?" the leopard guard's face changed dramatically, for some inexplicable reason.
"Forget it...... Anyway, the cremation of the body will start tomorrow, so there shouldn't be too much of a problem. The tiger took it indifferently and carried the cat man boy away.
There was only one leopard man left on the scene to guard the cellar. In the dead of night, the atmosphere is particularly scary in this eerie and dark place. Athens, the capital of the Leopard People, experienced the catastrophe of seven years ago, and its inhabitants had a special fear of corpses. Because seven years ago, the corpses of the army of demonic beasts that invaded the city and were killed began to transform before they had time to burn and dispose of them, turning into a group of necromantic demonic beasts. The second attack was the deadliest for Athens, and it almost destroyed the city of Athens.
Even now, the leopard people are still so obsessed with incinerating each dead and burning the body into ashes before starting the funeral, all because they are afraid of the corpse. ------ knows if another succubus is plotting to attack Athens, evoking corpses that have not been incinerated to ashes and creating an army of necromancy?
The freeze-dried cellar is extremely good at preserving the remains, and the insulation of the red ironwood is impeccable, and normally the remains stored in the cellar are unlikely to emit a rancid smell, and the remains should lie down honestly until the moment they are incinerated into ashes.
However, if the body had been tampered with by a succubus, and it was a corpse that would have undergone a corpse transformation, things would have been completely different. Regardless of how well the cryopreservation works, the corpse is affected by the poisonous photons injected by the succubus, and the corpse is bound to occur, and it will emit an unforgettable smell------ not a foul smell, but a wonderful smell like fermented fruit.
The leopard man guarding the corpse in front of this cellar door is of course also aware of this. The guard also lived through and survived the Athenian catastrophe for seven years. When he heard Albert's complaints, he immediately became nervous, realizing that something might be wrong with the body in the cellar.
So, when Albert was gone, the leopard guard gave up his job guarding the door, lit a lantern from his waist, and began to tremble down the cellar to find out.
In the deep cellar, there are only a few dim oil lamps on the wall as a light source. The already dark cellar, under the light of the oil lamp in the hands of the leopard guards, was not much brighter, but added a terrifying atmosphere. The guard took a few trembling steps forward, trying to hold the stick in his hand. At this time, he was muttering in a low voice about the language of the Glick tribe, probably cursing the town hall for arranging such a bad errand for him, and it was also estimated that he was cursing the town hall for having a small budget, and he couldn't even give him a decent weapon.
All in all, the leopard guard, who only had a lantern and a wooden stick in his hand, was terrified to the extreme, not only fearing that a necromantic warrior would suddenly jump out of the coffin to attack him, but also fearing the possibility of real demons and monsters.
Therefore, when he approached the three coffins in the crypt and suddenly heard a "thud" from one of the coffins, the leopard guard was so frightened that the whole leopard jumped up and almost didn't pee.
Bang knock, bang! However, the crashing sound from the coffin board did not stop because of the panic of the leopard guards, but only intensified. Although the leopard guard was very frightened, he still took a few steps back tremblingly, put on a posture of battle, and raised the only "weapon" in his hand, a wooden stick, in front of him.
"I hate ------ ------ so much------! a certain voice echoed in the secluded tunnel, from far to near, in the empty and deep cellar.
"Woo woo woo...... The leopard guard shuddered, and something trembled in his mouth, perhaps some kind of spell in the leopard people to avoid evil.
However, it is useless, the demons and monsters will still appear. A hand gently pushed open the coffin board.
The leopard guards trembled even more. But the guy was still an adult after all, and he was a dutiful guard, and instead of running away immediately, he held on with a wooden stick, as if intending to find out what was going on here. Because he did not clearly find the evidence of the corpse, he could not report it to his superiors.
However, staying here did not make things better, but only made his pain worse. One terrifying thing after another, the hand that had withdrawn from the coffin board suddenly stretched out out of thin air and flew towards the hapless leopard guard at an incredible length!
The frightened leopard guards hurriedly raised their sticks to block, but it was unfortunate that they had clubs in their hands instead of sharp weapons. He held a lantern in one hand, and he could only hold a stick with one hand, which was even more misfortune among misfortunes! The hand that suddenly stretched out grabbed the stick in an instant, and with a strong pull, the stick flew out of the leopard man's hand, and the leopard man's guard body was also implicated by the pulling force, and the whole leopard fell forward!
He fell to the ground with a thud and fell hard. The oil lamp also fell to the ground and shattered, and the spreading oil became a small fire.
The leopard guard got up pitifully and was about to flee from the desert, but the contents of the coffin had already crawled out.
The cat-man boy in mourning clothes had a pale face, and his eyes like dead fish stared at the leopard-man guards in a daze.
"It's so ------ hate ------ ahh------!h
"Wow, ah------" This time the guard was really completely frightened, and there was a deep color spreading on his pants in the firelight. The panicked leopard-man guards twisted their butts and began to crawl out on all fours, intending to flee in the wilderness.
Plop! But something tripped him. The guard slammed to the ground again. He tried to get up, only to find that his feet were entangled in something extremely soft. It was a hand, cold, damp, and stretched to an astonishing length, grabbing one of the leopard guards' cat legs.
And this unscientifically stretched hand naturally belongs to the ghost who crawled out of the coffin, that is, the cat-man boy!
"Ghost, ghost----------!" The leopard guard was already more frightened than he could bear, and he exclaimed in surprise, and immediately fainted.
"I'm sorry. Mutt sighed and withdrew his arm.
"Oh, it went well. Albert had already walked back to the cellar by this time, and said with a relaxed face.
The cat man glared at the tiger: "You actually want me to wear the mourning clothes of the deceased and pretend to be a ghost and a scary, your plan is really immoral." "
"I'll come back and apologize to the leopards afterwards. Albert unhurriedly pulled his clothes off the leopard guard, and said in disgust, "Oh, coward, I'm really scared to pee." This garment is called how to meow. "
"Leave his clothes alone, give me back my clothes first!" Mutt felt uncomfortable in Ruf's mourning clothes, and wished he could change his original clothes back immediately.
"Yes, Luffy's body is in the courtyard outside by the big tree. There is no one outside, change it yourself. The tiger only stripped off the leopard guard's shirt, and did not move his pee-stained pants. Luckily, the leopard guard's pants were also black, almost similar to the black tight-fitting night suit worn by Albert, and there were no major flaws in the night.
In the dark courtyard, Mutter found Luffy's body under a large tree. The dead cat-man boy sat peacefully against the tree, as if he were not dead at all, but fell asleep by the tree when he was tired.
"Mr. Luffy...... It's rude. Mutt muttered a low apology, and then began to pick up the body's clothes.
However, the moment Mutter touched Ruf's body with his hand, something flowed into the cat-man boy's body.
