Chapter 222: The Black Knight's Grave Is Pouted
It was getting late in the evening.
Under sunset.
A carriage passed through the woods and hurriedly stopped at the gate of the "Dawning Cemetery", and then an old man who looked like a butler got out of the carriage and rushed into the cemetery with a black cloth.
Knock knock knock ......!
The old man hurriedly pounded on the door of the wooden house at the entrance of the cemetery.
Soon the wooden door opened, and the grave keeper was quite surprised when he saw the old man, but before he could ask, the old man took the first step to put the black cloth in the grave keeper's hand.
The grave keeper seemed to realize something, his pupils shrank, and the next second, he heard the old man panting and saying:
"Sir, old lady...... Passed away. ”
The grave keeper thought he had misheard, so he spoke out to confirm it.
The old housekeeper sighed, with a serious look on his face, and directly defeated the luck in the hearts of the tomb keepers.
The grave keeper originally thought that he was used to seeing life and death, but at this moment, when he heard the news of his mother's death, he suddenly felt sad.
"How...... How so? Mother is obviously in good health, and she was able to sing in the garden yesterday ......! ”
"This ...... After lunch, the old lady was watering the flowers in the garden when she was hit on the head by a small pebble flying outside the courtyard...... The officer said it might have been a child's prank. ”
"Damn it!"
The grave keeper's face sank, and he rushed out of the hut with a black cloth, and then ran to the carriage.
The old man chased after him, shouting something in his mouth, but he gradually drifted away and could not hear it really.
The grave keeper walked in a hurry, the door of the hut was not closed, and Paul, the dog, ran out curiously, and began to wander around the cemetery excitedly.
It sniffed and sniffed, and before it knew it, it came to the little girl's tombstone, and was very interested when it saw the rabbit doll.
Paul took a bite of the doll, swayed it from side to side like a prey, and then turned around and ran away with it in his mouth.
The gold pound, which the girl's father had placed in the doll's arms, flew across a parabola, slammed into the other tombstones, bounced twice, and finally rolled to a grave below.
The tomb reads "Tomb of the Byswall Couple".
Late at night.
The purple moon hangs high.
In a corner of the cemetery, two figures climbed in through the fence, two men in overalls and berets. They carried large bags on their backs, shovels in their hands, and cats bent their waists cautiously forward.
"Hey, are we really going to do that? Turner? ”
One of the men asked, a little uneasy.
"If we don't get enough money as soon as possible, how can we leave with the children, they killed someone!"
Another man walked ahead, turning back and whispering, his tone suppressed anger and irritation.
"Damn! It's not worry-free! ”
"It is said that there are some nobles buried in this cemetery, and you should be able to find some valuable funerary goods."
"Be careful, don't get discovered by the grave keepers."
The two men were looking for their target in the cemetery when suddenly, they caught a glimpse of a flash of light in their peripheral vision.
"Is that ......?!"
They ran over expectantly, and in front of an ordinary tombstone, they found a gold coin.
"Golden pound! OMG! ”
"This tomb is definitely buried with rich guys."
The two of them played with the gold coin, their faces full of excitement.
"Turner, just this tomb, get to work!"
"Okay! No problem! ”

on a train.
Chen Lun was sitting in an ordinary carriage, a window seat.
He had already traveled a long distance from the Spirit Realm, and then when he approached Sunflower City, he withdrew from the Spirit Realm and chose to take the train into the city.
In this way, he avoided a possible ambush in the spirit world, and the reminder of the black knight had always been in his heart.
After looking at the scenery outside the window for a while, Chen Lun took out a pigeon-egg-sized, black claw-shaped armband.
[C-class Trick - Claw Armband]
Item description: An armband of flesh power, with the appearance of a black claw with four fingers and extremely sharp points. It seems to be waiting for an opportunity to suddenly slice your chest open when you are not looking.
Wearing this armband gives you the power you need, making your body stronger, and even turning your fingers into black, sharp claws.
It may have been left behind by a church priest and contains the power that was precipitated after his death. After gluttony, he becomes a beast, and only a strong body can carry the favor of the gods.
Item Effect: HP +200, Strength +5, Endurance +5 after wearing. Can turn the palm of the hand into a ghoul's claw.
Item Cost: Every once in a while, a flesh corpse needs to be fed. (More than 50 kg, not limited to humans)
'Hmm...... The effect is very strong, a notch higher than the [Surging Badge], just in time to replace it. ’
Chen Lun took off the ghost face badge pinned to his chest, which was a trick obtained by killing Father Carter when he first crossed over, and he had been with him for a long time, but at this stage, his increase in himself was already dispensable.
Unfortunately, you can't wear them at the same time. ’
Chen Lun sighed secretly and put on the claw armband.
There is an underlying rule that the same type cannot be used at the same time, which will create conflicts.
Although he doesn't know the specific principle, Chen Lun can understand it.
After all, if you can, there is a place to cheat, and at the same time wear a bunch of low-level and low-cost tricks that can increase attributes, and the final superimposed effect is equivalent to directly creating a "superman".
This mends the tire.
Chen Lun was very satisfied with this armband, and the price was acceptable, so it was a big deal to let it dine with the Blood Poetry Ring.
Isn't it just a matter of feeding one more big fat pig every time?
Mr. Jack is not short of that money.
Hours after the train had traveled.
Stopped near a small town and at the same time a group of passengers came up.
Soon, a girl sat opposite Chen Lun.
It was a young girl in a pale yellow dress and a straw hat that looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old.
As the train continued to move, the girl finally couldn't help but be curious, and asked:
"Sir...... Are you traveling? ”
From the moment she got into the car, she peeked at the young gentleman opposite.
Although the girl has seen many excellent men, the other party is obviously more special...... Whether it is temperament or appearance, it makes her heart beat faster.
"Hmm...... Yes, travel. ”
Chen Lun withdrew his gaze from the scenery outside the train, looked at the girl, and smiled slightly.
"How do you see this young lady?"
The girl was slightly stunned, shaken by his smile.
What a handsome face, the light from the train window, hitting the side of his face, like a work of art.
"Sir, you ...... I didn't bring extra luggage, and I looked very leisurely, presumably a nobleman who came out on a trip. ”
Chen Lun was noncommittal, and did not say anything about his identity, he just said:
"Are you also on a trip?"
"Oh, no, it's not...... I went to the internship to register. ”
The girl wanted to talk to the man for a while, but she was a little shy, and she said with a red face.
"I just graduated from medical school in the town and am now accepted to a hospital in Sunflower City...... Work as a trainee nurse. ”
The girl took a deep breath, held the bag in her arms, and mustered up the courage to stretch out a hand.
"My name is Lisa, and it's a pleasure to meet you, sir."
"Hello Lisa."
Chen Lun politely stretched out his hand and shook her fingertips lightly, and stopped at the point.
immediately said his name casually:
"Jack."
"Mr. Jack......?"
Lisa grinned and showed her orthodontic braces, and then she realized that tooth baring was unladylike and ugly, and she turned her head away in embarrassment.
Half a day.
She didn't hear Mr. Jack speak, so she squinted her eyes and peeked in, and saw that he had already turned his head to look out the window.
Lisa felt a little lost.
It seems that this handsome gentleman has no interest in himself.
She opened her mouth several times, but she didn't have the courage, so she had to secretly feel sad.
Half a day later.
Towards four o'clock in the afternoon, the train stopped at the train station in Sunflower City.
The flight attendant rang the brass bell and walked along the aisle to remind passengers to get off the bus.
When Lisa was tiptoeing to pick up her luggage, she accidentally didn't hold it steady, and the luggage fell straight down. She exclaimed, but in the next second, a fair-skinned and slender hand easily caught the luggage and handed it to her.
"Be careful, Miss Lisa."
"Ah...... Thanks, Mr. Jack. ”
The girl looked up at the man, and the other party still had that kind and polite smile on his face, she couldn't help but have her heart beating fast, and at this moment she even felt that her heart was moved and she was in love.
She stared blankly at each other.
Until Chen Lun coughed lightly and asked:
"Miss Lisa? It's time to get off...... I'm going down too. ”
The girl came back to her senses and blushed in amazement.
"I'm sorry sir."
She was dazed with her luggage, and only reacted when she got out of the car.
"Mr. Jack also got off at Sunflower City!"
Lisa looked left and right, looking for a trace of Mr. Jack, but found nothing. She originally planned to exchange contact information with the other party, but she couldn't help but feel a little empty.
She let out a long sigh, looking extremely lost.
Chen Lun glanced at the girl not far away, shook his head slightly, turned around and left.
With his promotion, he became more aware of his charm and had a great influence on ordinary people, especially women, who were easily attracted to him...... Whether this is good or bad is hard to tell.
"Maybe the transcendents who follow the Stellar faction will also have such troubles when they reach the middle sequence and above......
Chen Lun thought to himself.
He lowered the brim of his hat and walked out of the train station like an ordinary person, heading straight for the Sunflower Garden, where his destination, the Dawning Cemetery, was located.

But when Chen Lun arrived at the cemetery, he found that there were many carriages parked here, and a group of people gathered at the door, as if something had happened.
"Tomb robbers are so rampant! They must be caught! ”
"Yes! The dead deserve to rest in peace, they are blaspheming the dead! ”
"The grave keeper happened to have a family member who passed away and left temporarily, which gave the tomb robbers a chance, how could this be such a coincidence?!"
"And the stolen grave doesn't seem to have been identified yet, something is wrong."
There was a lot of discussion, including onlookers, reporters, and people in charge of the cemetery.
Chen Lun suddenly had a bad premonition.
'Could it be that Mr. Biles' coffin was stolen?' ’
He frowned slightly, lowered his head and bypassed the crowd from one side, intending to enter the cemetery.
But two police officers guarding the door stopped him.
"I'm sorry sir, it's not allowed to enter for the time being, and we're still investigating the clues left at the scene......"
"Asylum commissioner, Joco."
Chen Lun took out a playing card, shook it in front of the two of them, and casually made up an identity.
At the same time, the pendant on the chest [Siren Song] was used.
The two police officers were suddenly in a trance, and mistakenly regarded the playing cards in Chen Lun's hand as formal documents, so they saluted respectfully and then let them go.
Chen Lun walked in with a silver cane and his face as usual.
After entering the cemetery, he saw from a distance an area in the front right, where many police officers were surveying, and some people were recording something.
At this time, a big dog came to Chen Lun's feet with his tongue out and rubbed his leg flatteringly.
"Dogs? Well...... Just right. ”
Chen Lun smiled slightly and touched the dog's head.
He then whispered to it in the language of the beast, asking about the stolen tomb.
The dog seemed a little stupid, and the information was intermittent, but Chen Lun was still able to roughly piece together some things.
A grave was indeed stolen from the cemetery, and the time happened late last night, when the big dog also saw the perpetrators from a distance, it was two men.
But the dog was unprofessional, he played with the rabbit puppet and didn't care about the two men at all.
Chen Lun was a little regretful, but after thinking about it, he squatted down and said a few words to the dog.
The big dog barked twice as if he didn't understand, and then ran towards the area where the police officers were with the rabbit doll in his mouth.
Finally, without them noticing, they left the puppet nearby.
The rabbit doll's buttoned eyes flickered and turned into a human eyeball, and it turned around to look at the excavated grave.
It really ......! ’
The tombstone reads "Grave of Mr. and Mrs. Biles", which is actually the name that Mr. Biles changed slightly to hide people's eyes. At the same time, it is also a name reserved in advance to commemorate his deceased wife.
'Who took Mr. Biles' coffin?' ’
Chen Lun, who was in the distance, covered his left eye with one hand, his brows furrowed slightly.
He sensed something strange about it.
It was a coincidence that Mr. Biles' coffin had been stolen the night before he arrived in Sunflower City.
Just then, two more officers trotted over, and they whispered to a middle-aged officer who looked like a leader, who had a happy expression on his face.
Through the "Five Senses", Chen Lun's eyes saw their conversation.
“…… Captain, those two grave robbers have been found! ”
"Huh? That's great! The council put a lot of pressure on us, after all, there has not been a similar case in the city for so many years...... It's a good thing that the case was closed so quickly! ”
"But...... Captain. ”
The two young police officers who came to report the situation looked a little hesitant.
"What's wrong?"
"The two grave robbers are dead, on the way to deliver the coffins...... Their deaths were very strange, and now the bodies have been sent to the nearest 'Tulip Hospital'.
And the stolen coffin is gone...... I still haven't found it. ”
"What's going on?!"
The officer whispered a few more discussions, but they were all worthless speculations.
Chen Lun in the distance was thoughtful, he thought about it, and divined on the spot, the foreshadowing given by the playing cards showed that the clues to the coffins could be obtained on the two corpses.
In that case...... I had to go to the hospital first. ’
He sighed secretly, he didn't expect things to take another turn for the worse.

Late at night.
Chen Lun came to the "Tulip Hospital".
It is a large and full-fledged hospital located in the heart of Sunflower City. Even though it's late, there are still a lot of medical staff busy.
This is the time of year when the city is in full bloom, and many residents with pollen allergies are sent to the hospital, which seems to have become accustomed every year.
Those who can't stand it have long since left the city, and those who remain are either loved, or both loved and persistent.
Chen Lun lowered the brim of his hat and entered the hospital in a very low-key manner.
To his surprise, he found an acquaintance at the front desk, who was none other than the girl Lisa he met on the train today.
She appears to be on duty as a trainee nurse, following another nurse on duty while familiarizing herself with the environment.
However, Lisa's colleague was a little tired and dozing off with her chin propped up, while Lisa was looking extremely bored and looking through the hospital records and reports.
At this time, a figure appeared at the front desk, and Lisa subconsciously looked up.
Her eyes widened instantly, and her expression of disbelief grew.
"Jack...... Mr?! ”
When she saw that it was the familiar young gentleman, she could not help but feel surprised and surprised.
"How did you get here?"
"I guess I can't forget you, Lisa...... I've only met once, but I'm already deeply attracted to you. ”
Mr. Jack looked at her with sincerity and affection.
"So I searched all the hospitals and finally found you."
Lisa's heart suddenly raced.
"Mr. Jack, I ...... Me too. ”
Lisa's heart was beating fast and her cheeks were flushed.
"I wanted to look for you when I got out of the car, but I didn't find it!"
She suddenly felt a warm hand caress her cheek, and when she looked up, it was Mr. Jack's flawless face coming close.
At some point, he had come to his side and hugged him.
"Mr. Jack...... My colleague is still ...... by the side! ”
"It's okay, she'll sleep soundly."
"Hmmm......"
Lisa finally couldn't control her heart and replied softly.
Then she sank into the warm embrace and kissed the handsome gentleman.

Chen Lun stood outside the front desk, looking at Lisa with a blushing face in front of him, and couldn't help but show a strange expression.
Lisa's eyes were misty, the corners of her mouth were smiling, and she was talking to herself about love. Chen Lun didn't know what scene she had made up in her own brain after she was hypnotized, but she had already got the information she wanted.
'The two bodies are in the autopsy room, and the police officers from the police station have left......
Chen Lun nodded.
He checked the hospital records in his hand again, closed them, and gently put them back in Lisa's hand.
Lisa's movement is getting louder and louder, but fortunately, her colleague has already been tricked by Chen Lun and fell into a deep sleep without being woken up by her.
The new intern nurse was lying on the desk at the front desk at the moment, biting her lip and twisting around, humming and chirping.
Chen Lun raised his eyebrows and snapped his fingers.
Syllable!
Lisa's eyes widened in astonishment as if she had just woken up from a big dream.
She looked left and right in a panic, only to find that there was no one around, and a strong sense of emptiness arose.
"It turned out to be just a dream......
Lisa examined her body again, and immediately felt ashamed.
"You're such a little Bichi, Lisa, how can you be so...... I would have such a dream! ”
She took a look at her sleeping colleague and breathed a sigh of relief.
But in the end, after a brief clean-up, he sighed again.
"Mr. Jack......"
