The monotonous shovel dug up a handful of soil and stacked it on the edge.
In the dead silence of the cemetery, only two living people were still awake, and the careless cemetery administrator was too lazy to go to bed.
It took a lot of effort to dig alone, and Victor's face was covered with sweat.
The burial soil in urban cemeteries is not comparable to those in wild graves in the wilderness. Some places are even covered with cement and need to be dug out with force.
After finally digging out the coffin, Victor threw away the shovel and sat in front of the tombstone to catch his breath.
The graves nearby, surrounding him in the dark night, still made his heart palpitate more or less.
Digging into other people's graves will shorten your life. This was a custom in Victor's previous life. At this time, he had a feeling that he was being watched and cursed by the undead in the cemetery.
"Ahem...open it." Father Sang stood there and ordered. Victor shook his arm, indicating that he needed to take a rest.
Five minutes later, Victor jumped down into the pit and pushed open the coffin lid while holding his breath.
The face of the man inside was pale, and corpse stains could be seen on it, but it was not completely corrupted. It was generally well preserved and had undergone special treatment before being buried.
Is this Thomas’ advisor?
Victor stared for a moment, and Father Sang suddenly asked him to carry out the body.
"What?"
"Recovering the secret transmission requires the remains of the seer." Father Sang calmly repeated his previous words to Victor, "Anyway...ahem, you have dug the grave, so keep going!" p>
Victor gritted his teeth and reached into the coffin...
However, before the body was taken out, Father Sang handed him a sharp knife and asked him to dig open the consultant's back and take out the spine!
I'll wipe it! Is this necessary?
Victor suddenly felt that he was committing a crime today.
However, Father Sang answered with certainty: "Of course, because after the secret transmission is studied, it is actually carried by the human backbone, ahem... you must do this if you want to recover it."
Father Sang knelt down and slowly demonstrated to Victor.
However, his physical condition is too poor, he lacks strength in many places and cannot move.
Victor finally gritted his teeth, grabbed the knife, cut open the consultant's back forcefully, and then cut off the trembling bone.
All the movements were so stiff, and Victor felt as if he had become a butcher.
Father Sang took out the dazzling gold chain pendant, placed it on the ground, took the backbone from Victor's hand, and circled it around the gold chain into a circle like an ouroboros. The pendulum was placed on the
Center.
Under the moonlight, Father Sang stood quietly with his eyes closed and meditated.
As time passed, something seemed to flow out of the circle of spine.
The moonlight seems to have inspired something. The thing looks like a liquid but is not a liquid. I can see it with my eyes, but I am not sure whether I saw anything.
Victor blinked, and the things that flowed out disappeared again, but the crystal pendant became even more dazzling, like an electrified neon light in the dark.
"Okay, the recycling ceremony is over, bury the body back!" Father Sang opened his eyes and looked at Victor quietly.
……
Before dawn, Victor and Father Sang returned to the hotel. They were not sleepy, so they went to the counter and ordered two cowboy breakfasts, including milk, sandwiches and sausages, and then sat by the window to eat and wait for dawn.
"In this kidnapping case... the target of the Conor Gang is Thomas' adviser... cough cough." Father Sang was leaning on a tree branch and crutch with both hands, and the food in front of him was untouched except for the milk.
It's easy to understand what he said.
Victor believed from the beginning that the Conor Gang had not found the wrong person, and that they had been acting to kill the consultant.
Now that it has been confirmed that the other party is a seer of dream nature, this inference is even more valid.
If Augusta wants to deal with Thomas, the first thing it must eradicate must be the seer with the power of divination around him.
Father Sang took the pendant out of his arms, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Victor.
"Now the secret transmission of dream nature has been transferred to this pendulum. It is a secret transmission: the diviner's sealed artifact."
"If an ordinary person gets it and tries to study it, he will become a fortune teller after success...ahem."
Victor was chewing a sandwich and staring at the bright crystal, not understanding what Father Sang meant.
The old man continued: "Now...ahem, I'll leave this thing to you for safekeeping."
"Give it to me?"
Victor raised his throat and asked.
"Under normal circumstances, after we recover the secret transmission, we should send it to the database of the Anti-Suppression Department... ahem, to Ms. Sharti for safekeeping and processing. But now I am... ahem... I am not feeling well. I am fine.
At that time, if you go to Renekton one day, bring her the pendulum...ahem."
Father Sang seemed to have expected that he would have no chance to go back. Victor's heart trembled. Just when he was about to say something, Henry came back from outside.
After the meeting of the Prosecution Bureau ended, Josh got the news and discovered that Augusta and his escaped men appeared somewhere, so he formulated a new encirclement and suppression plan and prepared to carry out operations.
This time, their pursuit was much easier than before, because most of Augusta's men were almost dead.
However, precisely because the other party was at the end of their rope, there could be no mistakes in this plan. This time Henry had to return to the team and act together. He came back to the hotel to tell Victor and Father San about this matter.
"Mr. Thomas's child is still alive, and he is constantly putting pressure on the general inspector."
Henry said, bringing over Father Sang's uneaten breakfast.
According to him, Thomas was very angry because the police let Augusta go in the Andihuata Mountains, so he forgot to send someone to Victor to ask for this quarter's bonus. In yesterday's meeting, he wanted to
Get up and ask Victor to send him the money within three days.
"What are your plans?" Henry looked up and stared at Victor.
He knew that the other party had prepared five hundred farka, but he was a little curious about what Victor was thinking.
Victor was speechless. He smiled and put the pendant into his pocket.
……
In the residence of Professor Carmen at Yotton College, Abigail and her colleague were looking through various books in the private library.
Professor Carmen was very enthusiastic. He opened his library to the two of them and told them various interesting stories about the Indong continent.
The coffee on the coffee table in the middle of the study had gone cold. The old maid opened the door and walked in to change them into warm ones.
"Thank you, you don't have to be so polite."
"You don't know the professor's arrangement. He hasn't entertained guests for a long time."
As the old maid was talking, she suddenly saw Stephen trying to open the old wooden door at the back of the study, but something seemed to be stuck inside, and he failed.
The old maid was startled and quickly reminded: "Sir, that room is not open to guests. Sorry, please don't try to open it!"
Abigail also remembered Professor Carmen's instructions before going out. Although the other party was very enthusiastic, he also warned solemnly not to open the door. There is a private room inside.
She is a very well-educated woman, and of course she will not turn other people's homes upside down against her master's wishes.
However, Stephen became more and more curious about what was behind the door. After the maid left the study, he leaned into Abigail's ear and said: "The owner of the house may have hidden many ancient cultural relics inside, which must be priceless."
