According to the "common sense" that Shade heard from the coachman, the underground tomb is the most expensive, and among the above-ground cemeteries, the cemetery under the tree is slightly more expensive than other locations. Being able to be buried under a tree, in literary works
Represents noble character.
The chirping of cicadas filled my ears. Because the weather was a little gloomy, the sunlight shining directly on the ground was very dim, and it seemed like it was going to rain. But even such a weak sunlight shining on the two souls made them become more and more intense.
It's getting lighter.
Just like the rumors in Outlander's hometown, souls cannot be exposed to sunlight for too long. Of course, evil spirits generated by relics or other powerful evil forces are very resistant to sunlight.
The entrance to the underground tomb soon appeared in front of them. The group stopped and asked the tombkeeper following the crowd to open the door with a key chain. The funerary objects in the underground tomb were placed directly around the coffins, so they had to be extra careful with evil intentions.
night visitors. In addition to the vigilance of the tombkeepers themselves, the three-layer fence door outside the underground tomb is also an important weapon to protect this place.
In addition to the fence gate here, all underground tombs have their own fence gates. However, the funeral group cannot all follow. Only relatives of the deceased are allowed to enter the tomb, and Shade is definitely not among them.
So his next job is to wait on the ground. Mrs. Watson can settle the bill with him after returning to the ground. The time is less than four o'clock, and Shade will have a long time to visit Mr. Sparrow.
Then we went back to town and had dinner.
When I get home, Miss Anat and Miss Bayas will probably be at the door.
And while the tombkeeper opened the door, the two souls began to discuss again:
"Since we can't let her see us, let's try to control a living person and ask her for her opinion face to face."
Mr. Mason proposed.
"Can you do it?"
"I can only slightly influence some living people."
"Me too."
This means that their strength is really pitifully weak.
"It's probably no problem for us to control a living person together. Although the time may only be a few minutes, it is enough for questioning."
"No problem...but who should I choose?"
Mr. Watson asked, looking around with the other soul. Shade consciously took a step to the side, and Mr. Mason pointed at him.
"Just him."
Mr. Mason found Shade who happened to be moving. Then Mr. Watson looked at Shade and agreed:
"I noticed that he didn't talk much. This kind of introverted person should be easy to control... Speaking of which, which friend's child is here to see me off? Why haven't I seen him?"
【What are you thinking now?】
She laughed in Shade's ear and asked.
Shade raised his hand and scratched the skin behind his ears, and glanced at the two souls standing in the shadow under the nearby tree again:
"Are there any traces of relics? Or traces of thaumaturgy."
【No.】
"Then it's not my misfortune, it's their misfortune."
The tombkeeper opened the door to the underground tomb, and the cold and rotten smell rushed out immediately. Mrs. Watson's sobs became louder. She suppressed her grief and thanked everyone for coming to say goodbye to Mr. Watson, and then
I chatted with Shade for a few words, thanked him for making the special trip, and then followed the coffin into the underground.
People were standing in the cemetery waiting. Shade left the crowd on the pretext of going back to the church to borrow the bathroom. He originally thought that when the two souls saw him leaving, they would change partners, but he did not expect that they would pursue him with all their heart.
Come up.
"Look, he's far away from the crowd. Let's catch up."
Shade wanted to laugh but couldn't, so after getting away from the crowd, he slowed down a little. After confirming that people in the distance couldn't see here, he clenched his fists and counted down to three, two, and one in his heart, turned around suddenly, and aimed behind him
The ghosts who followed were each punched in the face.
"Oh~ how rude."
"Oh~how can you touch us?"
The tone of the ghosts finally rose and fell, and they looked at Shad in surprise. This was of course the effect of [Soul Echo], and any attack made by Shad's body would be effective on the soul.
The two ghosts wanted to run away, but Shade's right hand had already lit up with silver light. He was not that kind of vicious person, but he was very vicious in the eyes of the ghosts at this moment:
"If you want to dissipate immediately, just run."
The fingers pointed forward. The silver moonlight was very weak, but it made them tremble as if they had encountered a natural enemy:
"Sir, it's whatever you say. Oh, we are so unlucky that we will meet the wizard in the story after death."
Mr. Mason complained softly.
"No, I am not a wizard, I am a magician. Also, don't step back, otherwise I will let you know the consequences. It is obvious that you want to attack me, so I should be the unlucky one."
Shade waved the silver light in his hand and said.
"Look, you unlucky guy, why did you choose this person?"
Mr. Mason complained dissatisfiedly to Mr. Watson who was standing aside. The latter wanted to apologize, but suddenly thought about it, pointed at Mr. Mason and said:
"Wait a minute, you obviously chose him!"
"Shut your mouths, I will only say this once!"
Shade stopped the two souls from complaining to each other.
Because they were just ordinary people during their lifetimes and were not even complete souls in their current state, Mr. Watson and Mr. Mason were completely unable to understand what was happening. They just succumbed to their instinctive fear.
"I ask, you answer."
Shade pretended to be vicious and said:
"First of all, why are you here?"
"I don't know, it suddenly appeared."
This is Mr. Mason's answer.
"I don't know. I can't leave my body after death. Something is binding me."
This is Mr Watson's answer.
Shade frowned:
"Then, when will you leave?"
"I don't know, I will leave when I should leave."
This is the common answer they gave.
"Finally, please stay away from my employer, Mrs. Watson. It's also good for her. It's best for the living not to have too much contact with the dead."
"But......"
The two ghosts did not agree immediately this time. Even if Shade let some light appear on his fingers, they did not agree immediately:
"As long as our questions are answered, we will never harass anyone again."
"Ask Mrs. Watson if she has really forgotten what happened that night?"
"Yes."
They nodded, and their cute expressions made Shade, who was innocently being targeted by ghosts, want to punch them again.
But there was no need to be angry with these two souls. He thought about it and looked at the two souls looking at him expectantly:
"Okay, wait until I give you the answer, but don't contact any ordinary people."
"Thank you, sir."
He sighed and looked at the crowd standing and waiting in the distance.
The reason for agreeing so easily was not because Shade wanted to help kindly, but because he was also very curious about the truth. Besides, this matter did not involve any dangerous factors, and he simply regarded it as having some fun for himself. Before the battle, he felt depressed, and
The two ghosts were angry after talking, but they felt a lot better inexplicably.
