Chapter 55: The Land of the Dead

With dessert on her back and bear biscuits in her arms, Elena set out on a journey towards the east with the rabbit and dog bird.

"What does a prophet in the jungle look like?" Elena asked.

"I don't know, I can't see clearly. But that's enough to prove that it's powerful. Owl said.

"I can smell that it's dangerous, and we're not going to get an answer easily." Dog Road.

"They tell the truth, and my ears never lie to me." Rabbit Road.

Elena's mood couldn't help but be a little heavier.

Fortunately, the journey was quite peaceful, and with the help of three friends, Elena avoided many risks, although in this way, they had to take many long detours.

Until Elena and her party came to a cemetery.

The tombstones in the cemetery are densely packed, and they are scattered all over the unknown distance, and there is no end in sight.

Many skeletons crawled out of their graveyards with rotting and mutilated bodies, and some jumped on their graves; Some leaned on tombstones to devour the black mist; Some of them are playing with stones together; Some were eating live mice, and then the flesh of the rat fell from its ribs, and it seemed that it could not eat enough.

There was also a skeleton with a bright white clean skeleton, but it was crouching in front of its own tombstone in a daze. In front of it was an empty tombstone, and the clean skeleton couldn't remember its name.

"Giggles!"

The many skeletons around it were constantly laughing at it.

"Life after death is so leisurely...... Elena sighed as she looked at the cemetery.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, all the skeletons almost stopped moving, and all of them turned their empty gazes at Elena and the others.

Elena shuddered and whispered to the owl, "Are they dangerous?" ”

"It's dangerous." The owl shuddered, "If you don't have a bear cookie on you, I swear you'll never make it through this graveyard alive." ”

"I didn't smell death, but I smelled the fear in them. These lost people have a natural fear of hell, and your bear cookie happens to be the voice of hell. "Dogway.

"They tell the truth, and my ears never lie to me." Rabbit concluded.

Oh!

Elena breathed a sigh of relief and worked for a long time, it turned out to be ...... It's just a bunch of garbage.

Then, Elena smiled kindly at all the skeletons who saluted her.

"Hello, lovely skeletons! I wanted to borrow it from your house, but it's a bother. ”

Then.

[All Skeleton San value -0.2!] 】

【Ding! The host smiles, and at the same time deals mental damage to more than 100 weird people, and obtains the world-class achievement "Laughing at the World (Beginner)" with a reward: Smile Terror +8. 】

"Huh? There are even unexpected surprises. ”

【Skeletons San -1】

【Skeletons San -1】

So Elena continued to smile kindly, smiling...... Sure enough, if a girl is kind to the world, the world will be kind to her.

It's just that the skeletons in the cemetery don't know why they start digging in a panic and quickly bury themselves in the ground.

"I swear, if they weren't afraid of the bear cookies, they would have cracked a hundred times if you continued to provoke them like this." The dog sighed.

"Provocation?" Elena gracefully glanced at the dog.

"Woooooooooo......oo Say no more! I don't know why, but I see that if you continue to talk about it, you will be unlucky in the future......" The owl hurriedly covered the dog's mouth.

In short, in any case, the lively cemetery was quiet for a moment, and without the skeletons jumping on the grave, the cemetery at this moment was finally truly depressing.

So Elena stepped on her high heels and walked quickly through the silent cemetery, but suddenly found that there was still a skeleton that still did not sleep in the ground, still squatting in front of her tombstone, unmoved.

And on its tombstone, there is not a word.

Elena's footsteps were getting closer and closer to it......

Getting closer......

She instinctively wanted to get around the skeleton, but there was only one way to the graveyard. After all, stepping on someone's grave is too rude.

What if it really annoys the lost in the grave?

However, when she finally walked to the skeleton's side with her heart, sure enough, the skeleton grabbed Elena's ankle!

Elena stopped and looked at it with a sense of pity.

"This glamorous skeleton brother, what are you...... Want to flirt with me? ”

The skeleton looked at Elena with a hollow gaze, then pointed to his own tombstone.

"Giggles, name...... Giggle, engraved with ......"

Its jaw thumped in tatters, spitting out muddy words.

Still, Elena understood what it meant.

"So, what's your name?"

"Oblivion...... Giggle...... Ever ......"

Elena's cheeks twitched: "...... Pass through? ”

Although it was already a skeleton, Elena couldn't help but look at it with disdain.

"Woo-woo-woo......" the owl cried again.

"She is a forgotten person, not only by name, but also by herself."

Oh! Yes, yes, the little girl Elena just thought the same thing.

"I see that if you don't carve the right name on the tombstone for it, we will all be torn apart by him."

"I smell the smell of death all around us, whether we die or not, it's all in your thoughts." The dog added.

"They tell the truth, and my ears never lie to me." The rabbit timidly concluded.

The right name?

How could Elena possibly know what the skeleton's name was?

That is, will it be a mortal outcome?

Not necessarily.

Elena waved the hem of her skirt: "The temptation of flowers!" ”

The rich floral fragrance comes out freely.

"I, Elena, want to swap identities with you!"

If the identity is exchanged, it is no longer a skeleton, and it does not need to have its name engraved on the tombstone.

As for Elena, she believes that even if she becomes a skeleton, she will not forget her name.

After all, according to her previous experience, after exchanging identities, her memory will not be lost.

However, the skeleton continued to clutch her ankles.

"The Survivor...... Giggle......"

"Engrave a ...... for me Name......"

Elena: (╬ ̄ ̄)

Are you sure it's polite to use this salutation for an innocent girl? Mr. Skeleton?

"Wait, why haven't you been tempted by the scent of my flowers? Didn't exchange identities with me? Elena was surprised.

"Engrave it...... Giggle...... Name ......" The skeleton gripped Elena's ankle and repeated the phrase.

"The dead are not breathing, apparently your skills are not working against it, deflated lady Elena." The rabbit concluded again.

"Woooooooooo......oo I saw that this skeleton was by no means idle, and its every move would cause catastrophism. The owl cried, "Help it, Lady Elena, or we will never leave the land of the dead alive." ”

The corners of Elena's mouth twitched slightly, but the ghost of Temeow knows what its name is?

But Elena thought about it, since the Forsaken no one knew its name in the world, including herself. So even if you engrave its name wrong, it probably won't notice it, right?

"Engrave it...... Name...... Giggles...... "The skeleton's words grew more and more anxious.

"Okay." Elena replied, "I'll engrave your name for you." ”

She had no choice but to bite the bullet.

So Elena picked up a stone on the ground and carved four large characters on the blank tombstone.

- Mr. Second!

She felt that even if the name was wrong, it should be the same as the name it had in life.

Alas, this damn sixth sense of women.

"It's ...... Giggle...... My name? The skeleton said sluggishly.

"Aang!"

Elena raised her head with confidence!

After all, if you want to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself, right?

The skeleton stared blankly at the tombstone, unconsciously letting go of the bony hand that held Elena.

Elena breathed a sigh of relief, sure enough, it is not easy to deceive people, but it is still easy to deceive ghosts.

"You actually wrote its name?" The dog was shocked.

"Lady Elena is right...... Hmmm!! ”

Halfway through the rabbit's words, Elena gagged him and quickly dragged him away.

"Don't talk nonsense, let's get out of this land of the dead!" Elena exasperated.

"Uh-huh......... My ears never deceive...... Oh! Please don't scratch my ears, ma'am! Ears are my life—"

As the tombstones were quickly thrown behind by Elena and her party, a forest finally appeared in front of them.

Elena and the others were panting, and were about to get out of the cemetery and enter the woods, but when they saw all the trees in the forest, they suddenly showed one grimace after another.

Grimace Tree.

Sometimes they tell the truth, sometimes they tell lies, and no one ever makes it out of the Grimace Forest alive.
