Chapter 229 The Dean and the Tomb Keeper

In the office, Lu Zhan sat on a chair and fell into deep thought.

The dean has a talisman in his hand that is exactly the same as the talisman in the gravekeeper's cemetery. This kind of talisman cannot be found on the market. It is probably unique to the cemetery. This means that this talisman comes from the cemetery. The dean and the talisman

There may be a connection between white ink... There is no problem with this inference.

But the question is, how did the old guy get such a charm?

Could it be that he had once entered the gravekeeper's cemetery?

But you have to know that although there is no restricted area stone tablet in the gravekeeper's cemetery, it is definitely more dangerous than the S-level restricted area. In the past six months, Dongyang City has not tried the idea of ​​​​cemetery, but they have failed without exception. This is enough

It shows the dangers of cemeteries. Some people even stay in cemeteries forever.

In Lu Zhan's impression, the old dean was just an ordinary genetic warrior.

It's all built on genetic medicine, and it's only at the C-level level at most.

How could he have the ability to enter a dangerous cemetery and get a charm from it?

Unless he, like Mo Qingcheng, was brought to the cemetery by Bai Mo.

But Bai Mo only woke up half a year ago, so how could he possibly have contact with that old guy...

No, that's not right.

Suddenly, Lu Zhan thought of something that he had ignored for a long time.

On the day Bai Mo entered City No. 3 for the first time, he came to the police station and claimed that he was here to report a crime.

During this process, although Bai Mo's main request was to recover the lost body, he mentioned the name of a supermarket - Huimin Supermarket.

After follow-up investigation, Lu Zhan discovered that there really was such a supermarket in City No. 3 many years ago. It was only two hundred years ago. At that time, the restricted area had not yet appeared, City No. 3 had not yet been established, and extraordinary people were not allowed to exist.

Although the world is in turmoil, it is far more stable than it is now.

This is just a small episode,

Lu Zhan didn't take this seriously at that time.

At most, it can only mean that the tombkeepers existed before the restricted area appeared, maybe they were the first batch of extraordinary beings, and later fell into a deep sleep for some reason, and have since become a taboo sequence.

However, after further understanding, everyone gradually realized that there was actually an era that no one knew about a long time ago, and Baimo and even the restricted area were most likely inherited from that era.

That is to say, Bai Mo's sleep was not two hundred years ago, but in the further years -

If you think about it this way, it means that Bai Mo's appearance half a year ago was definitely not his first awakening. He had awakened at least once two hundred years ago, otherwise he would not have known about Huimin Supermarket.

After that, he fell into a deep sleep again for some reason until half a year ago. As for whether he woke up again in the past two hundred years, it is still unknown.

but……

If Bai Mo really has any connection with the dean, it means that in the years after the restricted area appeared,

Bai Mo once woke up again,

And invited the dean into the cemetery. Perhaps this is the only way,

Only then can the old guy get the talisman in the cemetery.

If the old guy got the charm by forcing his way into the cemetery,

There is a possibility, but the probability is close to none.

Of course, there are other possibilities. After all, it is not certain whether the spell is exclusive to the cemetery, and it may not really come from the cemetery.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhan suddenly realized another problem——

That is, if Bai Mo really woke up after appearing in the restricted area, why did the sequence room not reveal the information about the tomb keeper at that time, but it was not until half a year ago that a red envelope dropped for the first time?

Is this an accident or is there some special reason?

In just a short moment, Lu Zhan had too many confusions in his mind, and he was eager to get answers.

It's a pity that Bai Mo is no longer here.

And even if he were still there, he would probably not answer his question, but would just say "not enough" indifferently.

There seems to be a great self-contradiction in these humanoid forbidden zone creatures. On the one hand, they are aloof and indifferent to human lives, treating them as dispensable ants, but on the other hand, they seem to have some expectations for humans.

The purpose is confusing.

While Lu Zhan was thinking, Mo Qingcheng remained silent, seemingly giving him time to digest, and then sent him two photos and an address.

Hearing the notification sound, Lu Zhan retracted his thoughts, quickly wrote down the address of the orphanage, and then clicked on the photo.

The first photo was a close-up of a yellow talisman. The curse pattern on it was indeed something he had never seen before, but he didn't know much about talismans himself. He could ask knowledgeable people to confirm it later.

When he saw the second photo, he suddenly froze and his mind went blank.

What I saw in the photo was a black crystal with light gray lines. It looked ordinary, but Lu Zhan recognized it immediately——

The core, this is actually the core of a certain restricted area!

Although the cores of different penalty areas are different, they are generally the same. Lu Zhan believes in his own judgment. At least from the appearance and color, this is indeed the core of the penalty area.

But...how is this possible?

In the Equality Paradise, Wan told everyone before he died that there is a way to prevent the expansion of the restricted area, which is to find a black crystal and destroy it. This will not only prevent the expansion of the restricted area, but also control the restricted area creatures within it.

weaken.

And Wan did not deceive them. This black crystal is real. After verification, the parliament named this crystal the core of the restricted area.

It's just that so far, the core of the restricted area discovered by humans is still quite limited, and the understanding of it is not deep. Many people have only heard of it, so it is normal for Mo Qingcheng not to recognize this thing.

Lu Zhan took a deep breath and fell into thinking again

The emergence of the core of the penalty area is problematic——

You must know that in the past, there have been many examples of humans successfully clearing forbidden areas and turning them into human habitations. The Huangquan organization is the most famous example. The station is located in the S-level forbidden area Huangquan, which is comparable in scale to large urban areas and is home to a large number of humans.

There are not many such examples, but there are definitely many. However, even if the restricted area is turned upside down, no one has ever discovered the existence of the core of the restricted area in the past.

If I have to say it, this thing is more like a new concept that emerged with the expansion of the restricted area, just like a brand-new product after a major update of the game version, but the version does not exist at all...

Thinking of this, Lu Zhan suddenly shuddered for some reason.

At this moment, what confused him the most was that since no one had ever discovered the core of the restricted area before, it meant that this thing might not have existed at that time. Then...how could the dean have a core of the restricted area in his hand?

Also, which restricted area does the core of this restricted area belong to? Why did the dean keep it? Does he know the function of the core?

Both of these things are not simple. He put the core of the restricted area and this talisman in a box and left the box in the orphanage. Is this intentional or unintentional? Did he expect that someone would find the orphanage?

Lu Zhan quickly made up his mind. He wanted to confirm whether the core was true or false as soon as possible, and this matter could not be passed through the hands of others.

He had a hunch that there might be a huge secret behind this matter.

"I'll send the box to you. You should know more about these things than I do."

Suddenly, Mo Qingcheng's voice rang on the other end of the phone.

Although the safety zone has become chaotic with the emergence of buffer zones, the express delivery industry still exists, mainly because there are enough profits to be made.

The operation of express delivery is maintained by several large groups, including Xinhai Group. They are strong and have branches in many urban areas. It is said that they also know the relevant taboo sequences, so supporting express delivery work is not a problem.

Today's delivery of items is more like the escorts of the past than express delivery. It must be equipped with experts, especially express delivery in different urban areas. Both people and creatures in restricted areas need to be guarded against, so the asking price is also ridiculously high.

Coupled with the risk of the express delivery being lost, generally no one will choose to send it by express delivery.

"No, no need, tell me your location and I will go and get it myself."

Lu Zhan was very concerned about the contents of the box, so how could he rest assured that it would be in the hands of others? Moreover, he also wanted to take this opportunity to see Mo Qingcheng.

Mo Qingcheng was silent for a moment, and seemed to have guessed the other party's answer, so he said: "Okay, I will put the things in my current residence, hide the box in the cupboard, and put the key under the floor tiles at the door. You can come and get it.

alright."

She hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but remind her, "It's a bit far from Dongyang City to here, and there may be dangers along the way. You must pay attention to safety."

Lu Zhan sensed something was wrong from the conversation and asked, "You want to leave?"

"Yes, in addition to the box, I also found clues about the dean's whereabouts. I want to find him."

"What clue?"

"You also said before that if you knew where the dean was, you would kill him. I know you are not joking, so I can't tell you."

Lu Zhan frowned: "That guy's disappearance is not as simple as you think, and neither is this! Don't act rashly, tell me everything you know!"

Mo Qingcheng sighed slightly: "To this day, do you still think that the dean wanted to kill us?"

"I don't think so, I saw it with my own eyes!" Lu Zhan said loudly, "And it's not just for this reason that I stopped you. Listen to me, calm down and tell me what you know."

"I'm calm and know what I'm doing."

After a pause, Mo Qingcheng's voice suddenly became low, "You didn't come to Xiaowen's funeral."

Lu Zhan was stunned for a moment. This turn was very sudden, but he understood what the other party meant.

Xiaowen was the corpse he saw in the coffin shop on Lanbei Street half a year ago. He was his and Mo Qingcheng's younger brother, and he was also a member of the orphanage.

On the day of the funeral, Mo Qingcheng notified him, but he did not show up.

But in fact, Lu Zhan not only secretly attended the funeral, but also investigated a series of issues such as why Xiaowen's body was sold, and dealt with the relevant persons seriously.

But Mo Qingcheng didn't like all this.

She said: "Lu Zhan, you and we are no longer a family, not even together. I know you hate the past and hate the dean, so let go of everything in the past, live the life you like, and pursue the truth."

Leave it to me."

"And... pay attention to safety."

After saying that, Mo Qingcheng hung up the phone, sighed, and walked slowly to the mirror.

In the mirror is a young girl with a pure and sweet appearance, tall and with long hair shawl, and a little sadness in her eyes.

Compared with half a year ago, Mo Qingcheng seems to have matured a lot now. She is no longer the girl who is inexperienced in the world, but her eyes still have a bright luster and are full of vitality.

For a long time, she sat on the bed, tied her long hair up high, put on old and ugly makeup on her face in front of the mirror, put a pistol on her left and right waists, put on a large windbreaker to cover up, and then put on a mask.

and cap.

The movements were skillful and had obviously been repeated many times.

When everything was ready, she put a simple box into the cupboard, placed the bowls randomly, and covered them up a little, then stood up and came to the living room.

There is a yellowed photo on the table in the living room. It is a group photo with adults and many children. One of them, an old man with gray hair, looks at the camera kindly, as if looking at Mo Qingcheng.

This is the dean she has longed for.

Everyone in the photo had smiles on their faces, including young Mo Qingcheng and Lu Zhan, who stood at the front and made two stupid poses.

It can be seen that everyone in the orphanage was very happy at that time and did not know what would happen in the future.

The photo was found in an abandoned orphanage and placed together with the box. Mo Qingcheng looked at the photo for a long time before solemnly putting it into his backpack.

She is about to go on a long journey, trying to find the dean and ask what happened that year.

Regarding this dean, all the children's memories are still more than ten years ago, including Lu Zhan and Mo Qingcheng.

They only remember that it was a bright spring, and all the children in the orphanage got on a bus, and the director was also in the car. He was going to take the children for an outing.

The bus left the city along the wide highway. Everyone was very excited, including the young Mo Qingcheng. However, for some reason, she suddenly became very sleepy and lost consciousness soon after.

Later she found out that everyone had fallen asleep unknowingly while the bus was traveling.

It was already late at night when she woke up and found that the bus was parked in the wilderness, in a completely unfamiliar place.

What's frightening is that the dean and many children have disappeared. Sitting in the driver's seat is Lu Zhan, whose eyes are red. He was the first to wake up, with a mixture of fear and anger in his eyes.

He told everyone that it was the dean who killed the other children. He was planning to attack them, but he happened to wake up and saw them, and they all ran away.

His tone was particularly angry. Although he kept insisting that he had seen it with his own eyes, not many people believed his words because there was not even a drop of blood in the car, and no one wanted to doubt the dean.

However, one thing can be confirmed, which also makes everyone feel very bad, that is, the dean has indeed disappeared——

He left everyone behind.

The biggest difference between Lu Zhan and everyone is this. One insists that the dean has a conspiracy and is a murderer and must not go to him; others believe that the dean is only temporarily away for something and can only go home if he is found.

Different choices started from this, and for some other reasons, the differences between Lu Zhan and everyone became bigger and bigger, and they completely parted ways after a long time.

And they never found the dean.

Mo Qingcheng knew Lu Zhan well. She didn't think Lu Zhan was a liar, but deep down she felt that it was impossible for the dean to take action against them, and she had no reason to take action, so she was always very conflicted.

His intuition told him that what happened back then was by no means simple. Even Lu Zhan didn't tell the truth completely and deliberately concealed something.

Over the years, she has been searching for information everywhere, just to find the dean urgently and get the truth.

And now, she may be one step closer to the truth.

"I don't know if Bai Mo is really related to the dean. I originally wanted to treat him to a meal as a thank you, but unfortunately I couldn't get in touch with him..."

Mo Qingcheng took a deep breath, opened the door, put the key under the floor tiles at the door, covered it carefully, and then walked in a certain direction.
