Chapter 53: The Disappearing Corpse~~)

Corpse!

Most of the huge graves contained no bodies!

In order to confirm that he saw it correctly, Jason looked at the tomb in the distance.

There, the gray, dead breath was clearly visible.

Unlike the huge tombs in front of us, except for the corpses still existing on the 'surface', the corpses inside have long since disappeared.

"Someone stole the body?"

"No!"

"Such a large number of corpses are definitely not ordinary thefts!"

Jason thought, turned around, and asked Taniel, "This was once Santer's territory?"

"Um."

"At the beginning, there were several gravekeepers such as Gardi and Caesar fighting over it, but in the end... Santel, holding the heads of those guys, swore his sovereignty."

Taniel shrugged as he spoke.

Then, he suddenly realized that he was in a cemetery and doing so was disrespectful to the dead.

He immediately raised his eyes and looked around.

After his keen sixth sense found nothing unusual, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Therefore, Taniel did not notice that Jason's face suddenly became ugly.

Santer's territory.

Disappeared bodies.

If there was no connection between the two, Jason wouldn't believe it at all.

and……

These missing corpses are most likely related to the 'mysterious person'.

"What does the other party want to do?"

"Is it to provide an 'insurance' for those who plan the 'Herc Potion'?"

"Or to deal with my teacher?"

"Or maybe something else?"

Jason frowned in thought.

"Do you know where Santel is?"

Jason asked suddenly.

"Although the 'Grave Keepers' are not as mysterious as the 'Secret Keepers', they will not tell others where they are."

"Especially for a high-profile 'gravekeeper' like Santel, if his whereabouts are really known, I'm afraid he won't even be able to sleep peacefully."

As Taniel spoke, he wanted to tease someone out of habit.

But before he could speak, Jason turned around and walked towards the outskirts of the cemetery.

call!

As Jason left, a sudden gust of wind blew across Taniel's cheek.

That cold stinging feeling immediately made Taniel shrink his neck.

His sixth sense even told him that if he stayed any longer, something bad would definitely happen.

"Wait, wait for me!"

"Jason, wait for me!"

Without hesitation, Taniel, who lived from the heart, shouted Jason's name and quickly chased after him.

Jason didn't slow down or stop.

He continued to move forward at his own pace.

In the cemetery ahead, young people have been buried, and their relatives have left one after another - after the burial, they leave before dark, and come back to pay homage the next day, and the third day, and then continue to pay homage on the 13th of every month, continuously.

Three years later, the 1st day of the winter moon will be used to commemorate the event. This is Lord's tradition.

This was what Taniel told Jason when they were on the carriage just now.

At this moment, with the departure of relatives.

Police officers and detectives who were colleagues and friends also left one after another.

Only Finch was left guarding the carriage in front of the cemetery, waiting for Jason and Taniel.

Of course, Bundy didn't leave either.

At this moment, the sheriff was standing in front of an unnamed tombstone.

Although he had something on his mind, Jason did not disturb the sheriff.

Taniel was very smart and did not choose to get in the way. He walked outside the cemetery and boarded the carriage first.

After more than ten minutes, Bundy slapped the tombstone hard, then turned and left.

Seeing Jason not far away, a smile appeared on Bundy's sad face.

"Sure enough, you guessed it."

"You also saw him off, right?"

Bundy said this.

Jason:???

He was confused in his heart, but Jason stood there expressionless, neither admitting nor denying.

The next moment, Bundy started talking to himself.

"That's Kurtz's grave."

"He made an unforgivable mistake."

"His family and friends will never forgive him."

"I do not know either."

"According to the procedure, he should go to the anonymous grave, but... he has a name after all, even if the name can no longer be brought forward."

Bundy said and looked at Jason.

He wanted to ask Jason's opinion.

In other words, I want to ask Jason whether what he did was right or wrong.

Unfortunately, Jason remained silent without saying a word.

Bundy was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"I unknowingly became a hypocritical person."

"When did it become like this?"

Bundy asked himself.

He is looking for answers within himself.

But unexpectedly, Jason, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

"Kylena."

"Find her."

"You will have the answer."

Jason said, pointing to the large graves in the distance, and said slowly: "Kylena should be there, if nothing unexpected happens."

"What's the meaning?"

Bundy obviously heard something behind Jason's words.

"Someone is stealing bodies on a large scale."

"Except for the surface layer of several large graves, there are no corpses inside at all."

Jason said truthfully.

He had come to seek help from Bundy, so he would not hide it at this time.

As for Kylena?

Just do it casually.

Nothing more.

"What?!"

Bundy let out an exclamation.

The disappearance of a large number of corpses made the sheriff think of something bad, and he immediately looked at Jason with wide eyes.

Jason nodded slightly.

"It's just what you guessed."

"I suspect it has something to do with Santel."

"You can start with him."

Jason prompted.

"Santel, the 'gravekeeper'?"

"I'll arrange it right away!"

Bundy said, and walked towards the carriage vigorously.

Jason followed.

Snapped!

Finch shook the reins, and the carriage began to return to the city.

At this moment, the sun has set in the west, but the bright sunlight still shines through the car window and shines inside the car.

Neither Jason nor Bundy spoke.

This made Taniel feel awkward and uncomfortable.

In order to enliven the atmosphere, this young teacher from Deer College took the initiative to take on the task of enlivening the atmosphere.

"You all know that the air in Lorde has not been very good because of its coal resources."

"A student asked me before how to judge whether the air in Lord's is good or bad. I told him that just picking your nose is good. If it's dark, the air is bad."

"The next day, he asked me again, what if it is red?"

"I said, you are very aggressive."

After saying that, Taniel couldn't help laughing.

However, Jason and Bundy did not smile, they just looked at Taniel.

Immediately, Taniel's laughter became smaller and smaller, and finally he was left scratching the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Isn't it funny?"

"Would you like me to change it?"

Looking at Jason, Taniel asked cautiously.

"You want to see Hong too?"

Jason asked rhetorically.

Immediately, Tanier shook his head repeatedly, saying that he would never dare to speak casually again.

But, the next moment——

Taniel took out the dagger he carried with him, stabbed it into his lower abdomen, letting the blood flow out, and grinned at Jason:

"Is it this red?"
