Chapter 52 Cemetery

The sense of urgency that danger could come at any time gave Jason the strength to fight against it.

But when his skills reached the critical point and there was no 'excitement from eating', the only option he could choose was 'employment'.

No,

It should be 'part-time'.

"The 'Night Watcher's' employment attributes are +0.2, and he also gained a unique specialty [Alertness]."

“What’s in store for ‘Gravekeeper’?”

Jason walked through the corridor with speculation.

At the entrance of the stairs leading downstairs, he stopped.

With almost twice the perception of ordinary people, he could clearly hear Bundy's footsteps.

At this moment, except for 305, there is no detective on the third floor.

Naturally, Bundy came to find him.

In fact, that's it.

Ten seconds later, Bundy turned around and saw Jason standing at the top of the stairs. He was surprised at first, and then relieved.

After experiencing several incidents related to the "mysterious side", Bundy has become quite immune to the magical things that happened to Jason.

In fact, Bundy had always suspected that Jason could 'divide'.

Even if Jason doesn't admit it, it's the same.

After running up to the third floor in three steps at a time, the Sheriff did not hide it, but directly stated his purpose.

"Jason, I'm sorry."

"Because, the case is closed, this afternoon is the day when those young men are buried, although I didn't want to trouble you at first."

"but……"

"Their families hope they rest in peace."

"They want you, the Night Watchman, to attend their funerals."

"I know this is too much to ask for."

"But, I ask you to go to the cemetery with me."

Bundy said that he was going to bow.

Jason turned aside to avoid such etiquette.

Funeral?

He frowned slightly.

If he could help it, he would never attend any funerals.

That kind of black.

That kind of dead silence.

That kind of sadness.

That kind of despair.

Make him hate it.

But when he heard the low, suppressed crying coming from downstairs, the words of rejection were already on his lips and he couldn't say them out.

"It's my pleasure."

After a moment, Jason answered like this.

Taniel, who had already walked out of 305, heard Jason's answer.

So that’s it.

Were you going to the cemetery to attend the funerals of those victims?

really……

He is worthy of being a ‘night watchman’.

The young Deer Academy teacher took off his hat and looked at Bundy.

"Your Excellency, Sheriff, please allow me to go with you."

"Although I didn't fight alongside them."

"But I am willing to pay my respects to them for their bravery."

Bundy looked at Taniel.

He didn't have much favorable impression of this philistine 'mysterious person', but at this time, Bundy was destined not to refuse.

"Okay, Taniel."

The Sheriff said and looked at Jason again. After Jason's signal, the Sheriff turned around and walked downstairs.

Jason followed.

Taniel initially wanted to walk side by side with Jason.

However, after thinking about the person at the door and expecting to see Jason instead of him, Taniel gave up the idea and followed Jason with his hat.

Walk quickly.

The height of three floors came in an instant.

At the door, black coffins were placed.

Every coffin has its own relatives.

There are parents, wives, children, and brothers and sisters.

They cried softly and comforted each other.

Finch, Hall and others were dressed in uniforms, standing on both sides, with solemn faces and reddish eyes.

When Bundy walked out of the bachelor's apartment, everyone looked behind him. When they saw Jason, everyone temporarily stopped crying and comforted him.

They looked forward to it.

Such expectations doubled Jason's pressure.

He didn't know what to do.

He even wanted to ask why there was no pastor to preside over it?

Unfortunately, this is not the right time to ask these questions.

Jason could only walk out of the door step by step.

He walked in front of many coffins.

He knew what he should say.

Everyone is waiting.

But Jason, who could deal with life and death calmly, at this moment, his mind went blank.

All that's left is the words that were once like a vow.

Involuntarily, Jason said:

"Glory to you!"

"You have a bright mind!"

"You guard the night."

"You are in darkness."

"May your souls..."

"rest in peace."

Eulogies adapted from the oath of the 'Night Watch' echoed across the clearing.

reached everyone's ears.

They mourned softly.

In the end, only one word remained: rest.



Lord's city, suburbs, cemetery.

The police convoy was parked outside, and the people guarding the cemetery had obviously received the order and opened the gate of the cemetery early.

After Jason got out of the carriage, he greeted Finch, received a bouquet of white chrysanthemums, and walked straight into the cemetery.

He needs 'ten years of grave soil'.

The neat tombstones in front of me are obviously not.

"This is Lord's cemetery. Except for nobles who have private cemeteries, most people in Lord will choose this place."

"However, with so many people arriving at Lord's, it has become overwhelmed."

"The area in front of me is fine, but after reaching Shanwan, it becomes unsightly."

Taniel followed Jason and pointed forward, sighing.

Following the direction of Taniel's finger, Jason saw the messy tombs.

Tombstones have become smaller and weeds have increased.

"This is where the poorest people end up."

"Of course, they are much better than those anonymous people."

Taniel said, looking at the largest graves in the deepest part.

These tombs were not built at once, but were piled up bit by bit over time, and the people buried in them were all unknown people with unknown names and origins.

Not to mention tombstones, not even flowers.

Jason walked straight over.

He stood silently in front of several huge tombs, divided the bouquet of white chrysanthemums in his hand into several branches, and placed them one by one in front of the huge tombs.

It's a memorial ceremony.

It's also an exchange.

He exchanged flowers for soil.

[The appointment of the tombkeeper is being determined...]

[Meet the requirements, yes/no spend 8 (5 base + 3 extra) points of satiety to complete the inauguration of the tombkeeper? 】



"yes."

After answering from the bottom of his heart, the light on the 'Gravekeeper's Dagger' flashed away.

The surroundings fell silent for a moment.

All sounds disappeared at this moment.

All that's left is...

Sound of wind.

Amidst the sound of wind, shadowy figures appeared in front of Jason.

All of them were in ragged clothes.

All of them looked gloomy.

Everyone was at a loss.

Every one of them is full of unwillingness.

One by one, they bared their teeth and claws.

But in the end...

Everyone stopped.

They all stared blankly at the white flowers swaying in the wind.

Excited and unbelievable.

Or cry uncontrollably?

Can't hear.

Can't hear.

There is only the sound of wind.

The whistling wind blew by.

The blowing made Jason's hair float and his coat made a hunting sound.

[The inauguration of the tombkeeper is completed!]

[Spirit +0.5, Perception +0.5]

[Acquire unique expertise: Death Aura Perception]

[Death Aura Perception: The aura of death is so obvious to you. You can easily discover any hidden corpses, and you can also detect when someone has contaminated a corpse (when your perception is strong, you can

It is easier to find more hidden corpses or find people who have touched the corpse longer ago)】



The instantly enhanced spirit and perception made Jason close his eyes slightly to adapt.

When he opened his eyes again, he tentatively turned on [Death Aura Sense].

A gray, deathly atmosphere filled Jason's vision.

He looked around.

Sudden,

The pupils shrank.
