When you reach the top of the low hill, there are six light sources here - the lights that can be seen from the exit of the Howling Ridge Tunnel.
Looking forward along the road, there were tall tombstones standing on both sides of the viewing platform, about two meters high. Meteor and Ping An took a closer look. These tall tombstones were not like other small tombs.
Will light up automatically - it seems that the undead sleeping here have found eternal peace.
Meteor sighed silently in his heart.
This ghost place finally started to look like a tomb. Before, walking in from the cemetery gate was like going to a department store. There were sounds of people everywhere, but no one was seen anywhere, which made people feel scared.
He moved closer to the tombstones to see the light source on the tombstones. When he looked carefully, he found that these tombs had no stone platform foundations or underground tombs, only a solitary tablet.
There is a beam of orange-yellow light below the tombstone, which shines on the dark base screen. It can almost be used as a mirror, reflecting his face.
He wanted to take a closer look. He took a step forward and immediately felt something strange. He immediately squatted down and held a flashlight to shine on the stone road.
There are instructions in Japanese on the road to keep out of danger.
"This place is the tomb of the God of Heaven. The ever-burning lamp that provides lighting for the tombstone contains radioactive substances. For your health, please do not offend the Tomb of the God of Heaven."
After Asing read this sentence, Mr. Ping An immediately took out the Geiger indicator from his carry-on bag. The radiation readings were indeed consistent with the warning in this announcement.
"The lighting equipment here may be tritium tubes. Tritium is a by-product of the nuclear industry." Mr. Ping An said.
Meteor: "Is it harmful to the human body?"
Ping An: "There is radiation, but not much. It has no impact on the human body or electronic equipment."
Meteor asked, looking at the carvings on the stone road.
"Then why does it warn us?"
Ping An explained: "The magic used by the devil needs to be combined with many deceptions - if it is close, the gods will lose their sanctity, and the devil will lose its sense of mystery when it comes into the sun. I think this is half true and half false
The warning is that people who visit tombs and pay homage should keep a distance from these tombs."
"That's right..." Meteor thought carefully: "If I want to buy such a cemetery, the closer it is to the gods, the better. If it really has such powerful radiation, wouldn't my electronic tombstone be the worst?
The fast one? Am I the number one victim in the universe?"
"Little brother, I saw words on the tombstone." Mr. Ping An urged: "Get closer. It doesn't want me to get close. I want to go and take a look."
Meteor was startled. From these six pieces of orange light, he could not see any writing. The tombstones were all as smooth as mirrors. Where did the traces come from?
Wearing those sunglasses, can Brother Ping An be able to distinguish things that I can't see in such a dark place? It's really strange...
The two of them were almost zero distance away from the tombstone. Meteor took off his glasses and put them on again, but he didn't see any words on them.
But Ping An muttered something: "On this monument is written the name of the god of Shinto City, called Nissun - I think it is the slogan of the Nissun Foundation. The corporate culture is well done."
Meteor: "Wait a minute! Wait a minute, Brother Ping An!"
Ping An: "What's wrong?"
Meteor felt his hair stand on end and was extremely surprised.
"I can't see anything! Is there any writing on this thing?"
Mr. Ping An shrugged, pointed to the other five tombstones, and read them one by one.
"Opposite is the Night Watch, which should be the tomb of the Night Watch Consortium."
"Two people on the left and right in the middle, the tombstones read "Shan Shi and Zhong Kui".
"The two at the front are sitting on the top of the mountain, and they are also the ones with the best feng shui. They are Gale and Shuo Feng."
Meteor was shocked: "Are you kidding?"
Don't say any more words. Meteor's eyes bulged out of his sockets, and his eyes began to sore and shed tears. He couldn't see anything strange.
"Monks don't lie, little brother." Mr. Ping An said: "I only tell the truth and will never lie to you."
This time the problem is huge.
None of the knowledge that Meteor learned in the secret library could explain this scene.
The biggest difference between ordinary people and psychics is spiritual vision. In the eyes of ordinary people, the banknotes are probably the tickets with psychic markings at Nine Realms Station.
There is no reason why Meteor cannot see what Mr. Ping An can see. His inspiration is not weak.
So what's the problem?
"Little brother, what do you mean, you can't see the words on these tombstones? Is that right?"
Meteor Chicken nodded like it was pecking at rice.
Mr. Ping An did not hesitate, immediately took off his graphite mirror and asked Meteor to put it on.
When his vision was shrouded by the shadow of dark lenses, a new landscape appeared in Meteor's eyes! Everything was different again and again.
According to the secret library, the properties of black stone are very special. It is good at absorbing energy, absorbing emotions, and maintaining strong curiosity, which can awaken it.
Lingweng makes pyroxene jewelry for passengers, but there are very few black stone people. The reason is that it has a strong negative effect-it absorbs almost everything.
Whether it is a good mood or a bad mood, whether it is positive energy or negative energy, it is like a black hole that can make people quickly lose their goals in life, lose motivation to move forward, and become a salty fish in a natural state of mind.
When Robert Downing came to the station, he had strong hatred and sadness in his heart, so the stone he got was naturally black jade. His desire for self-destruction was too strong and he needed a black stone to regulate it.
At this moment, Meteor used Brother Ping'an's pyroxene jewelry and was able to read the words on the tombstone clearly.
It is like a psychic detector, which can illuminate the weak psychic tide in the environment. The words on these tombstones flow with light, and the light source like water flow constructs the shape of the writing.
Meteor turned back involuntarily, following the spiritual energy fluctuations of the earth's veins. When he looked back and forth, he saw that the graves all over the mountains and plains had turned into clusters of pale green soul fire.
He didn't understand, and he had thoughts in his heart——
——Is that what the black stone in the Venom Mechanism is used for?
Allowing ordinary people to see psychic things with their eyes, this technological innovation is a disruptive revolution for the underground world.
When he turned his head and looked at Brother Ping An again, his mind was shocked and he felt dizzy for a moment.
The light from this ancient soul almost blinded him. For a moment, he seemed to be able to understand the feeling of Jason Megan when his inspiration exceeded his limit.
The power emanating from Mr. Ping An's eyes almost made Meteor instinctively close his eyes. It seemed that the spirit body in the physical body did not want to have contact with the ancient mind. But suddenly, Mr. Ping An noticed something strange about A Xing, and immediately
He took off his sunglasses and put them back on before Asing opened his eyes.
"How is it? Little brother, can you see it now?"
"That's right..." Meteor was still in shock, sweating all over his head: "I see clearly, there are indeed words on these tombs."
Arrange them in order of precedence and inferiority -
——Night Patrol, Day Patrol, Falcon Style, Zhong Kui, Shuofeng, Gale.
These six names represent the six gods, that is, the six departments, six functions and titles with Shinto City as the core.
"It seems that I need to get a venom mechanism or a black stone to see these things." Meteor analyzed carefully: "Brother Ping An, you just said that this hilltop is the place with the best feng shui. Since these people like money so much,
Why not sell it for money?"
Ping An didn't speak.
Meteor then asked: "What does it mean to build a tomb for these departments? There is only a solitary tombstone, and there is no intention to dig a hole to bury the person."
Mr. Ping An said calmly: "That's why they call themselves gods, little brothers. If gods and mortals are buried in the same tomb, that person also has a little bit of divinity."
He pointed behind him casually, pointing to the mass of graves halfway up the mountain.
"There is an old saying that if a person achieves the Tao of a chicken or a dog, it is no wonder that there are chickens and dogs along the way."
"What do you think is the charm of religion? What is the charm of superstition?"
"Isn't it just that when I was reciting scriptures devoutly, I mistakenly thought that the gods would give me divine power, and this divine power manifested itself as a bit of divinity in me? Then the Magdalene in the Bible was also a prostitute contaminated with divinity, and her status was different
Already."
"So, the Yeyoushen Group's underworld real estate is doing well! It is a little expert in making money. If this treasure land on the top of the mountain is sold to rich people, to local high-ranking officials or businessmen in Shiqiu Town, other
It’s hard to sell the ghost house. It looks like a vacant lot with a few useless tombstones, but it’s actually a gold-lettered signboard.”
When we reach the end of the viewing platform, we see darkness everywhere, and from the darkness we can feel the hot and humid wind of the mountain valley.
Originally, they came to this mountain to ask the local undead for some information that would help their exploration. However, they did not expect to find anything except six tablets.
Meteor: "What to do now?"
Mr. Ping An stood there, lowered his head and thought deeply, discussing with Meteor——
——He changed his cheerful tone and was not as casual and natural as before.
"There is a milestone at the entrance of the cemetery. It is still thirteen kilometers away from the urban area of Shiqiu Town. Little brother, you should be able to get the venom device there, which is something similar to a mobile phone. The subsequent investigation can be carried out smoothly.
.”
Meteor: "Well..."
Ping An: "I don't know whether those buried in these graves are real souls, or cyborgs that imitate their souls - I don't know."
Meteor: "Well..."
Ping An: "Next, I may have to do something, otherwise I will feel uncomfortable."
Meteor hesitated to speak: "Brother Ping An..."
Ping An took out the ruler and explained patiently.
"But these things will bring risks, I don't know if you can accept it."
"This is your VIP trial mission. The mountain god we met in the Howling Ridge Tunnel can tear us apart easily. The escape route has been cut off. It is difficult for me to guarantee that I can bring you safely in this environment. Take it back to the station."
"Now I really want to smash all these tombstones, dig up every grave in the cemetery, and cut off their energy source. At least these dead souls can rest in peace and no longer have to repeat those advertising slogans."
"Like Miss Lilia Tomita we met before, whether she is a real spirit or a digital life, she no longer has to worry about getting a better tomb, and she no longer has to make pretense and ask for money."
"But you know, if we want to destroy the clay idols in the temple, there will definitely be followers and ancestors who will come to kill us."
"This place has been abandoned for more than fifty years. Judging from the tombs of these gods, Shinto City has nuclear power facilities and everlasting lamps that have lasted for more than fifty years. The basic power equipment of this cemetery is still running. I don't know. Will these minions of the gods wake up again because of the security alarm?"
"If you are scared, we will go back to the Howling Ridge Tunnel to think of a way to return to the civilized world we are familiar with."
"I think..." Meteor began to accept the test again.
When he heard Mr. Ping An's proposal, he began to re-examine the meaning of life and death.
A mausoleum is a trace of a person's existence and a history book made of stone. It should be the most serious and profound thing in the world.
However, in this 378,000 square kilometers, the gods who control the life, old age, illness and death of countless mortals have created a hell for people to die.
After thinking about it, he took it personally——
——If one day Brother Ming dies, his portrait will be on his tombstone. From time to time, he will urge his sister-in-law and children to send money, asking me to buy a certain brand of wine and drink it across the Yin and Yang worlds.
——If one day, 3301 also dies, she will remain young forever in the tomb, but when she sees me, she will expose her breasts and show off her coquettishness, begging me to buy her tomb upgrade service.
——If one day...
At this moment, all the hair and eyebrows on Meteor's body stood upright. He was frightened and angry, and almost trembled all over.
"Brother Ping An! I'm going to smash this tomb!"
Luo Ping'an: "Have you calmed down and thought clearly?"
Bu Liuxing: "I'm not calm! I can't be calm!"
Luo Ping'an: "When I hold a ruler and smash their tombs, it's like smashing their false bodies, and I'm going to fight the entire Shinto city - you have to think about it."
"These scraps of metal have been left unused for more than fifty years! Come out and touch any monsters you like! I am the second boss of the Wuming Doe!" Bu Liuxing's eyes were filled with fire: "I'm not afraid!"
Luo Pingan smiled happily.
"You can retreat, you can be tactful, you can take one step at a time, you can wait and see for a while. Maybe there is something hidden in this matter? Maybe you can wait, maybe you will change your mind when you get to Shiqiu Town."
"You have to think carefully, we are living under someone else's roof now, and the food and drink we have can't last for eight days. If we ruin the sign of a local snake, I'm afraid the next life will be difficult."
"Brother Ping An!" Bu Liuxing said firmly, "I can't wait any longer! The thought that there are more than two hundred dead souls living in Abi Hell in this cemetery makes me full of courage and I can't think about other things.
matter."
Luo Ping'an: "Then I take action?"
Bu Liuxing: "Just do it..."
Luo Ping'an: "Ring the summons bell first."
Following Luo Pingan's instructions, Meteor rang the waiter's summoning bell, and then asked: "If you ring the bell in this damn place, can you see my psychic beacon at Jiujie Station?"
Luo Ping'an: "Not necessarily, but it's better than doing nothing."
Bu Liuxing: "Yes, Taoist priest, you are right, it is better than doing nothing!"
The Taoist leader of Ping'an quickly stepped forward. He used his ruler to break up rocks and knocked them on the tombstone of the night patrol. The pieces of broken iron came out. The components were exposed to the air and quickly oxidized and burned.
The other five tombstones immediately triggered security alarms, and warnings were issued from these ancient ruins from decades ago.
"Warning! Warning! You are destroying public property in Shinto City!"
"The prisoner's facial features have been scanned."
"The prisoner's body shape scan is completed."
"Upload to Elysium and call the Shiqiu Town Terrorist Rangers to arrest..."
"There is no response from the Terrorist Task Force, and a backup plan will be adopted..."
"Call the medical trauma insurance team, Shiqiu Town area duty unit..."
"The medical trauma insurance team did not respond, and a backup plan was adopted..."
"Call the Night Watch Special Operations Team—The Executioner."
"Response successful, task is being released..."
"Suspect, please stop your violent behavior! Please stop your violent behavior!"
"We will collect evidence as public prosecution materials and upload them to Paradise Space for an online public trial. The Supreme Court of Shinto City will judge your crime. At that time, you will need to compensate Yeyoushen Company for all material and property losses and pay the litigation costs."
"Crime suspect, since your venom and venom mechanism cannot be detected, we will treat you as a foreigner. Please cooperate with the executioner's investigation, otherwise we cannot protect your personal safety..."
】
The electronic sound suddenly stopped, and the shining golden ruler smashed the last tombstone into pieces.
Luo Ping'an: "It seems that I am facing a lawsuit."
Bu Liuxing tightened his grip on the Iron Knight nervously. From the warning broadcast just now, he could probably get some useful information.
The basic violence mechanism of this town has been paralyzed, but the armed force of the Night Walker seems to still exist, and it is responding to the security center of the [Elysium Space], which means - someone is coming.
From the cemetery gate came Ah Hei's roar and a dull rumbling sound.
Meteor was distracted for a moment: "So fast!?"
According to the milestones, the nearest town was more than ten kilometers away, but within a few minutes, the enemy had already arrived at the scene.
Luo Ping'an responded and looked to the sky——
——Four bright red light spots are getting closer and closer, it is a drone.
There was a tall figure hanging on the drone, more than ten meters above the ground, when the figure was seen falling from the sky.
The man was wearing a helmet. He was a man with short, shiny hair. The texture of his hair was like fiber optics. There was not a single piece of skin visible all over his body. It was all bare pale artificial muscles, with obvious molding lines at the joints. When he landed,
It sent out heavy vibrations and brought up strong winds and dust.
Meteor raised his hands to cover his face and saw an orange safety light shining through the smoke.
The dust mist blew away the drone's rotors, and Meteor finally saw the whole [executioner] clearly.
There are trademarks on his forehead and profile, like the logo of a weapons company.
His eyes are blood red, but have no capillaries. They are artificial eyes composed of two holes and two sets of complex sights.
He has no ears, instead he wears a visor and a neck protector, with the plates extending all the way to his temples.
He had no long-range firepower, and no firearms could be found anywhere on his body. His thighs and vital points on his heart were lined with armor, and he held a beheading sword in his hand. It was a large sword with a square head and no point.
An orange-yellow security light emerged from the multi-jointed spine behind him. The cylinders were like energy batteries, with ring-shaped light sources. There was a dark box embedded in the forearm of his right hand, which was exactly the mission.
The [Venom Venom Mechanism] that I had seen in the briefing was emitting a bright red light source at this moment. The display panel was like water, leaving various readings on the pale muscle texture. It seemed to be broadcasting the body data of the executioner. These
Magnetic fluid sometimes gathers and sometimes disperses, changing erratically.
When his eyes locked on Mr. Luo Pingan——
——This hairless artificial human has a black carapace sprouting from its entire body.
Like a mixture of water and mud, these mud flows quickly climbed up the exposed man-made fiber muscles, turning into flexible hexagonal grid cloth and becoming the executioner's skin.
Thirty-two heat dissipation holes were distributed on the shoulders, soft ribs, back crest, buttocks and legs. The executioner raised the execution sword, tilted his head and looked at Luo Ping'an, but for a moment there was no movement.
——This artificial man seems unable to recognize what Mr. Ping An is. After all, Luo Ping An does not use Shinto City’s mobile phone. He does not have [Venom Agency·Venom Agency] and is an outsider. Just like in modern society, people have ID cards and WeChat.
QR code has various social accounts and personal files, but Meteor and Ping An are considered black accounts.
Luo Ping'an raised his sunglasses and counted the various features on the executioner's body.
Mr. Ping An took out a gun from his waist and fired one shot at the executioner.
The nine-millimeter handkerchief bullet hit the dark skin, as if hitting the pliable quagmire. Circles of ripples appeared on the executioner's skin, and the muscles in the chest trembled and bounced back, leaving no wounds. [Night Patrol]
The two characters and the barcode twisted and deformed with the impact of the warhead, and finally slowly wriggled back to their original appearance.
Luo Pingan dropped his pistol and asked Ah Xing not to do anything and not to become a criminal in the Shinto City public security system.
He raised the ruler again and prepared to fight.
"You are so high-tech, but you probably don't have many human organs in your belly. Bullets will not break your defense even if they hit you. No wonder you come to catch criminals with a sword."
