When Xue Hongyu was fifteen years old, he showed an astonishing talent in the field of stele research. It wasn't long before he was discovered by the parliament and gave him an olive branch.
Out of her interest in the forbidden area, she quickly entered the Stele Research Institute. In ten years, she went from an assistant to one of the youngest and most outstanding researchers in the institute, and she is world-famous.
It can be said that she dedicated her entire youth to the stone monument in the restricted area, barely socializing, and being with the stone monument all day long. Perhaps because of this, she has a kind of intimacy with the stone monument that is difficult for ordinary people to understand.
These tombstones in the cemetery are actually quite different from the stone monuments in the restricted area, otherwise Mo Qingcheng would have noticed something wrong before.
But despite the differences, Xue Hongyu believed in his own judgment——
These tombstones are definitely made of the same material as the stone monuments in the restricted area, and are even the body of the stone monuments!
Her breathing quickened unconsciously. She almost forgot about her current situation and planned to rush over and study it carefully.
Fortunately, she restrained this impulse in time.
But Bai Mo in front obviously noticed something strange about her and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xue Hongyu adjusted his mood, shook his head and said with a smile: "Nothing, just these cemeteries..."
She hesitated to speak. After all, she still couldn't figure out Bai Mo's identity and purpose, but she was really curious and didn't know whether to ask further.
Bai Mo was stunned and blurted out: "What, you want to reserve a piece first?"
"?"
What does this mean?!
Xue Hongyu was horrified and almost asked Ye Xiao to take action, but there was no strange expression on the other party's face. On the contrary, Bai Mo looked serious and seemed to be just soliciting business.
"No need, I'm still young, I shouldn't need it for the time being..." She breathed a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile.
"Really, that's such a pity." Bai Mo sighed, seeming a little regretful, "Don't look at the scenery here, but the feng shui is actually very good."
Xue Hongyu couldn't help but ask: "But didn't you just say you believe in science? Why are you talking about Feng Shui now?"
"Feng Shui actually has a bit of a scientific meaning..."
Bai Mo was stunned and smiled awkwardly, "Besides, business needs, everything is involved these days, I have to find some selling points for the cemetery, right..."
Xue Hongyu smiled and said nothing. Judging from the current contact, this guy who is suspected of being a tomb keeper looks normal, but it is a bit strange, but it is more in line with the description of a tomb keeper...
She thought for a while and asked: "I have a question, why are these coffins not buried in the cemetery?"
Bai Mo was silent for a moment and replied: "This is the rule of our cemetery. It is believed that the dead person in the coffin is just asleep. He may wake up at some time and cannot be buried."
"If they were buried... they might not be able to find their way home."
"This is the first time I've heard of such a rule."
Xue Hongyu murmured, and she secretly wrote down these words. Many times, there might be some important information hidden in some unintentional words.
She suddenly couldn't hide her curiosity. Since the material of the tombstone was so special, these coffins should be no exception. Who was buried inside?
Seeing that Bai Mo was still leading the way, she took off her glasses without leaving a trace and secretly glanced at the tombstone and coffin.
However, it didn't matter if she didn't look at it. She almost went blind when she looked at it! Her eyes were red and tears couldn't stop flowing out, as if they had been burned by fire.
Ability backfires!
If you want to study the stone tablets in the restricted area, it is useless to just rely on the accumulation of knowledge. You must have a certain degree of abnormal sensitivity, which is now commonly referred to as strangeness. This is a trait that extraordinary people basically have.
After all, judging from the surface, there is nothing more than a name and a letter on the stone tablet of the forbidden area. It is difficult for people who lack strange feelings to touch the real mystery. Even those who have strange feelings, few can understand the stone tablet of the forbidden area.
I have to say that eating this bowl of rice requires talent.
Although I don't want to admit it, since the emergence of the restricted area, there has indeed been a distance between extraordinary people and ordinary people. This distance is multi-faceted, not just the difference in power. Even the popularization of genetic medicine cannot break the barrier between the two.
Extraordinary people are born at a high point, and Xue Hongyu understands this very well.
Although she is not an esper, she is a C-level practitioner.
In fact, she originally wanted to take the path of the Curse Pattern Master created by the Stone Tablet Research Institute. After all, she was also involved in the development of this profession, and she wanted to experience the effects for herself.
However, the Curse Pattern Master is a profession that is entirely designed for fighting, and she doesn't like fighting at all, and she doesn't need to fight - wouldn't it be nice to study the stone tablets quietly?
In addition, she didn’t want to get some random tattoos on her body, so she gave up and chose one of the many Origin Stones that matched her, and became a practitioner.
That's right, ordinary people will not be able to match a source stone to obtain Taoism until death, and will not be able to embark on the path of transcendence throughout their lives, but she can choose among many source stones.
I can only say that this is talent.
Xue Hongyu’s Taoist practice is called [Eye of Truth], which is an auxiliary Taoist method that acts on the eyeballs.
She doesn't like fighting. The biggest role of this method for her is that it can effectively collect information on the target without the help of instruments. It is equivalent to an efficient information processor and can help her avoid many detours in her research.
.
The target can be an object or a living thing, but it mainly acts on objects. This is because the information about living things is quite changeable, and it is very energy-consuming to observe. The more complex it is, the more so. It can even be passed by just a glance.
Possibility of death from overwork.
——This kind of negative effect caused by the severe loss of energy is what she calls backlash.
In order to prevent himself from subconsciously using the [Eye of Reality] on living creatures, Xue Hongyu had to wear special glasses to avoid inadvertent misuse of Taoism.
In fact, with Xue Hongyu's current C-level extraordinary strength, it is possible to barely observe a C-level extraordinary person with the eyes of reality, but she actually received a lot of backlash after looking at a coffin.
, which horrified her.
The coffin is a dead object and cannot have such a terrible impact, she can guarantee it.
So this only means one thing...
There is a living creature in the coffin!
Even if there is really a corpse inside, it is not an ordinary corpse!
Xue Hongyu's eyes were blurred by tears, but he gritted his teeth and tried his best not to let Bai Mo notice his abnormality.
This can be said to be a waste of time. I didn’t see anything but didn’t say anything, and my energy was stolen in vain.
Gradually, her hair stood on end, and she had the illusion that she was being stared at by countless pairs of eyes.
At the same time, a strange vibration sounded in the cemetery, from chaos to unity, from weak to clear, like a violently beating heart, making a loud "bang bang" sound.
Only then did Xue Hongyu notice that all the coffins in the cemetery were shaking!
This seems to be caused by her previous spying...
Those invisible gazes were so terrifying that they almost turned into reality, sliding sharply on her skin.
She seemed to be held by countless sharp knives, unable to move.
"What are you doing?"
At this moment, Bai Mo in front obviously noticed the movement in the cemetery. He said dissatisfiedly, "Isn't it just that I haven't been back all night? Why are you excited?"
There was no one around and he didn't know who he was talking to.
The coffin was still shaking, but Xue Hongyu was surprised to find that the terrifying gaze disappeared.
This is……
She suddenly looked at Bai Mo.
"Okay, okay, stop making trouble, I'll sing for you."
Bai Mo sighed helplessly and sang softly:
"Sleep well, baby
The night has fallen
Bedside covered with roses
accompany you to sleep
little baby,little baby
Singing to lull you to sleep
Sleep well, baby
Moonlight fills the earth
The breeze blows gently
little baby,little baby
The singing will lull you to sleep."
"..."
Xue Hongyu suddenly opened his eyes wide, and he was so painful that he shed tears without even paying attention——
It was obviously just an ordinary lullaby, and this guy didn't sing it very well. However, after the song, the coffins actually stopped shaking.
...as if contentedly falling into a deep sleep.
At this moment, Xue Hongyu was basically certain that Bai Mo was the tomb keeper!
but……
She fell into thinking. According to the description in the record, the tombkeeper should not be able to accept abnormal things. The vibration of the coffin was obviously an abnormality, but the tombkeeper seemed to be accustomed to it.
Could it be said... that the self-correction ability of the gravekeepers in the cemetery will reach its highest level?
She shook her head and quickly recovered her thoughts.
There is insufficient information at the moment, and there is no use in arbitrarily analyzing it. However, this place is close to Dongyang City, and the first-hand information of the tombkeeper obviously comes from here. I don't know what those guys' calculations were, and they didn't report it at all.
Seeing that the coffin became quiet, Bai Mo shook his head helplessly. He took Xue Hongyu and Ye Xiao to the door of the cabin, opened the door and prepared to go in.
"This is where I live..."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Xue Hongyu and was suddenly startled, "No, why are you crying?"
Due to the backlash of his ability, Xue Hongyu's eyes under his bangs were all red, and there were faint traces of tears on his face, which made him look suspicious——
Could it be...that my singing voice was so beautiful that it made her cry?
"I'm not crying." Xue Hongyu quickly lowered his head.
"Are you still crying?" Bai Mo raised his eyebrows, "Do you think I am a blind person or a fool?"
"I……"
Xue Hongyu seldom interacted with people, so he was not very good at lying. He was silent for a long time before he came up with a reason.
She said: "I thought that you said before that the corpse in the coffin was just asleep, and just now you sang a lullaby to them..."
"Are you moved?" Bai Mo asked curiously.
"No, I was scared."
Bai Mo was stunned.
"Just kidding."
Seeing his doubtful expression about life, Xue Hongyu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Actually, I was thinking that one day I would fall asleep like this. If someone was willing to sing a lullaby to me every day, it would be great.
Be happy."
She was speaking from her heart. At the moment when Bai Mo's singing ended, she really had such an idea inexplicably.
Bai Mo's expression froze when he heard this, and his mood became inexplicably complicated. After being silent for a long time, he said: "No, this may not be a happy thing."
Xue Hongyu noticed that the other party's tone had changed a lot.
However, she didn't ask any more questions to avoid drawing too much attention from the other party. She stared at the yellow talismans on the door for a long time and murmured: "These talismans..."
"talisman paper? You mean these small advertisements, right?"
Hearing her voice, Bai Mo came back to his senses, his tone returned to the same tone as before, and he curled his lips and said, "I don't know what kind of immoral things these are posted on. The small advertisements are all posted in the cemetery, so I'm not afraid of bad luck."
He was filled with righteous indignation and looked like he was gnashing his teeth.
Is this guy really an S-level forbidden sequence...
Xue Hongyu suppressed his smile and asked tentatively: "How about... you give me these small advertisements?"
As soon as she said this, Bai Mo looked at her deeply.
Xue Hongyu was shocked. Just when she thought the other party had noticed it, she saw the other party looked puzzled and asked, "What do you want this thing for?"
"Just take a look..." Xue Hongyu said with a smile.
"All small advertisements are needed..."
Bai Mo took a look at the "small advertisement" on the door and saw that it was full of descriptions about the treatment of infertility. He suddenly understood. No wonder the other party was hesitant...
"These things are pretty impressive to put on the door and can be used as decoration, but I can give you three."
He tore off three talismans, put them into the woman's hands, and said earnestly: "If you are sick, you still have to go to a big hospital, and pay attention to your health."
"Thanks."
Xue Hongyu automatically ignored the other party's kind reminder. At this moment, his attention was entirely on the talisman paper. He regarded it as a treasure and carefully folded it and put it in his bag.
She followed Bai Mo into the house.
And until he entered the hut, the strong man named Yexiao didn't say a word.
"You are really taciturn." Bai Mo glanced at him and couldn't help but sigh, "That's good, silence is golden."
The strong man said nothing.
There were no electric lights in the house, so white ink lit candles, and the dim firelight illuminated the hut.
Xue Hongyu looked around. The hut was not big and indeed quite simple. However, she paid no attention to him and her eyes were quickly attracted by a tattered stuffed dog on the table.
"This is...taboo sequence D-lost dog?"
She knew a lot of information about taboo sequences and recognized this thing instantly. She was not too surprised at first, but after carefully looking at the doll dog for a while, her scalp suddenly went numb.
Because she saw the doll dog’s legs moved slightly!
It wasn't that she was making a fuss. Although this just meant that the bereaved dog had mobility at this time, it was actually unreasonable.
There is one description about the bereaved dog——
"Note 3: A bereaved dog will actively seek attention and fresh blood from others. If it does not receive attention for a long time, or if there is no blood supply for a long time, the bereaved dog will lose its mobility."
Bai Mo was the only one in the cemetery. He had been away from the cemetery for a whole day, obviously unable to provide attention to the bereaved dog.
Of course, it is impossible for a bereaved dog to get blood in the cemetery. Normally, a bereaved dog that lacks blood and attention should lose its mobility...
As for why it can continue to move now, Xue Hongyu can only think of one explanation -
The bereaved dog continues to get the spotlight!
In this room... no, or in the entire cemetery, there are beings other than Bai Mo, and they are always watching the bereaved dog!
Maybe, he is also watching himself...
Xue Hongyu felt a chill running down his spine.
"Why, are you interested in this thing?"
There was a sound in her ears, and she was startled. She turned around and found Bai Mo looking at her.
"No, I just think this doll is a bit ugly." She calmed down and commented.
"Why is it so ugly? It's called ugly and handsome, right?" Bai Mo muttered, and soon said proudly, "A friend of mine gave this to me!"
In his mind, he never had many friends, let alone received gifts. Therefore, although this doll dog looked average, it was still a gift worth collecting in his mind.
Xue Hongyu was stunned: "Why did your friend give you this?"
She knows very well that the active dog has the ability to reduce the presence of life within the range, but the side effects are also obvious, the user will lose their memory...
She couldn't help but guess the motives of the tombkeeper's friend—could the other party have ulterior motives?
"have no idea."
Bai Mo shook his head, picked up the doll dog from the table, and said half-jokingly, "Maybe he thinks we are more similar?"
"Yes."
Bai Mo was stunned, because these words were not said by Xue Hongyu, but came from the mouth of the silent night snack.
Seeing that he looked wrong, Xue Hongyu had a headache and quickly explained: "Don't misunderstand, he said this before picking you up..."
"I know, but even so..."
Bai Mo glanced at the bereaved dog in his hand and said with a strange expression, "But why do I always feel that he did it on purpose..."
…
"Since this morning, a total of five groups of explorers have entered Equality Paradise. So far, only one person has survived, a D-class ability user. He came out with only one right hand left, and both legs and left hand were missing.
Climbing out of the restricted area with one hand..."
In the elegant room, the assistant reported with a solemn face. Every time he thought of the scene at that time, he felt chilled in his heart.
Xu Han sat at his desk, flipping through the documents indifferently, and asked, "Did you find out anything?"
The subordinate quickly said: "He just kept repeating eight words: 'All living beings are equal, and they will reach bliss early'."
"What do you mean?" Xu Han put down the document.
"That guy was crazy, it was difficult to communicate, and he died not long after." The assistant took a deep breath, "He just kept saying that everyone in the park is equal, so he should drop everything and play together... basically he didn't get it
What useful information."
"I see."
Xu Han thought, "I'm afraid the rules of Ping Ping Paradise have changed, otherwise there wouldn't be such a high mortality rate... Let's let the filming companies continue to increase the bonuses for exploring Ping Ping Paradise and find a few more groups of people to explore the path.
.”
"Now is a troubled time. Before obtaining enough information, the Bureau of Prohibition cannot afford to lose its manpower casually."
"Yes." The assistant understood.
"Move quickly."
Xu Han reminded, "I heard that there seem to be big figures coming from the Parliament and Huang Quan this time. I think they will be interested in this expanding restricted area."
