Chapter 153

   The workers at Lenghu Cemetery use the term "corpse hunter" to define it more appropriately.

  Different from the seven divisions like the Seven Days Cemetery, each cemetery has different rules.

   There is only one main cemetery here - Cold Lake, and the rest of the cemeteries on the shore surrounding the lake are only used to store "defective products", and there are no strict requirements.

   However, Cold Lake, the core of the cemetery, has relatively complicated rules.

   The first is area division:

  【Outer Ring】In the outer ring area where the lake water temperature is greater than or equal to -10℃, burials and corpses can be carried out at any time of the day.

  【Central Ring】The lake temperature is in the middle area of ​​-10℃ to -30℃, and related work is limited to 00:00-07:00.

  【Inner Heart】In the center of the lake, where the temperature is lower than -30℃, the working time is limited to 00:00-02:00.

   In addition, there are a series of rules related to lakes:

  1. It is forbidden to use any lighting equipment. If you find signs of ice on the lake, you can use kerosene lamps or torches to disperse them. Once the ice layer disappears, you need to turn off the light source immediately.

  2. If you find a hand sticking out of the lake during boating, please tie the black rope provided on the boat to your ring finger, and the arm will automatically return to the lake.

  If the fingers are already tied with black ropes, the gesture of reaching out means 'showing good', just high-five with them, and the arm will sink.

   Please be sure to complete the above interaction behavior, otherwise the arm will always follow, and may finally attack the hull.

  3. If floating debris is found in the lake, it must be caught with fishing nets and sent to the incinerator for destruction as soon as possible.

  If you find a paper-like item, you need to check the information recorded above and meet the requirements as much as possible. If you are unsure about what to do with the information, ask your supervisor for advice.

  …

   There are seven other rules similar to the above, which are very cumbersome, like serving a group of aunts and aunts living at the bottom of the lake, and also have to take on the related work of cleaners.

  Every rule has hidden dangers, and if you don’t serve it well, your life will be in danger.

  Because it is in the water, it is much more dangerous than the actual ground cemetery, so it is no wonder that people are often not recruited here.

   The matter that Yi Chen and Regan were temporarily called to help can be done in just one night, but only gentlemen with cemetery experience like them can help. Ordinary corpse hunters will be very dangerous.

   The request given by the lame Field is to dig out the five special corpses buried in the burial area in the center of the lake and pack them for processing, and there will be organized corpses on the shore to take care of them.

   Considering that the two juniors were working for the first time, Field took a paddle and drove them to the center of the lake ten minutes earlier.

   As stated in the rules, the temperature of this lake is frighteningly low,

  However, as soon as the cold is felt, the gentleman's clothing immediately adapts to the fleece and thickens, and even generates heat internally.

   This warm and moist leather feels like a strong man who has just finished playing basketball is sandwiched between the front and rear.

   During the paddling to the center of the lake, the calm lake also stretched out its pale arms many times.

   Yi Chen immediately complied with the rules, either tying a knot on their ring finger or high five, the other party also seemed very happy, shaking his arms happily and sinking into the lake.

  I also found a paper boat on the way. After it was caught through a fishing net, it actually said -【I want an autobiographical novel】.

   I don't know why Yi Chen wanted to laugh a little,

  Field explained very seriously: "The demand for written items shows that they are awakening their consciousness. These needs must be met... Unfortunately, there is no time for them to read books now, and they need to be salvaged."

  Yi Chen captured the key word of 'awakening consciousness' from this sentence, thinking of Reagan's girlfriend.

   But there is an essential difference in consciousness here. The corpses at the bottom of the lake can awaken consciousness because their bodies are complete and they retain complete, even fresh brains.

   But Reagan's girlfriend had only one spine left at first, and she had to construct her consciousness based on the genetic information remaining between the bones. The concept was completely different.

  【Huxin District】

  The boat stopped, just in the middle of the morning.

   This time point and the hazy reflection of the moon on the lake reminded Yi Chen of some bad memories. The former Twilight Clinic also changed at this time point, and the moon appeared.

   This event is far from Zion, and Yi Chen is worried about the moon all the way.

  Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look up at the sky.

   However, the hazy moon didn't mean to draw closer, it was still blocked by clouds and mist, and there was no abnormality.

   At this time, the lame Field took out five body bags with moisturizing function and handed them to the two of them.

   "You've already read the rules, I won't say more, go ahead."

  Yi Chen and Reagan looked at each other and jumped into the lake water at minus 50°C together.

  The gentleman's clothing covers the whole body in advance, isolates the lake water, and keeps warm.

  The lake is not deep, so the two of them quickly dived to the "Lake Burial Area" at a depth of only ten meters.

There are eight graves below   , and three of them have been excavated in advance.

   The remaining five tombs are temporary tasks for Yi Chen and Reagan.

   At this time, Little Grape got out to help improve the visibility, and at the same time spoke about the situation here as a 'come here'.

  『The corpses that can be buried in this area are at least fine,

  The three who were poached in advance are either fully mature like me, and the awakening consciousness can be used by the organization. Either the dangerous lesions are dealt with in advance.

   And the five corpses you need to deal with are not 'ripe' enough to be exhumed,

   must be the reason for the spread of the gray area, and the corpse needs to be moved in advance. After all, the natural gray area cannot be eliminated. Once it spreads to the town, the corpses in the cemetery will suffer from lesions. 』

  『So this cemetery will be closed soon? 』

  『It must be so, otherwise why is the old man always stern? Hurry up and start work. Seeing that the old man is willing to give me a favor, I will also help a little. 』

   Next is the cooperation between Yi Chen and Regan to retrieve the corpse.

   quack quack~

   Yi Chen released the plants for quick excavation. Once the whole body was excavated, Regan would instantly cover it with a body bag controlled by his mind.

  When the first grave was dug, the corpse lying inside made both of them stunned.

   A young corpse that is impeccable and pure from beginning to end,

   The almost pure water-like skin even glowed with faint waves, but the next second he was wrapped in a body bag by Regan.

   may be the whole process of surveillance of the 'Graveyard Overlord',

   Maybe it was the coercion that Miss Fey released invisibly,

   The process of retrieving the corpse was quite smooth. None of the corpses had any tendency to resist or attack.

   In addition, the corpses in the Huxin tomb area all look to be no more than 20 years old, and the skin texture is almost the same, as moist as jade.

   Soon it was the turn of the last grave.

   The flat-shaped plant was dug quickly like a shovel, but the body seemed to be buried deep, and it was still nowhere to be seen after digging a full two meters.

   Just when the two were a little suspicious and vigilant,

   The end of the plant touched a hard object other than soil, which was the head of the corpse, and a poking of silver-white hair could barely be seen.

   continued to dig the soil until the whole head appeared in front of him, Yi Chen was stunned.

   Fear instantly occupies the entire eyeball and permeates the whole body!

"how is this possible!"

   Buried between the last graves is a young man with gauze covering his eyes, the other eye is slowly opening, in the shape of a silver crescent moon.

  The mouth also opened and wriggled!

   There is no sound transmission process, and the sound echoes directly in Yi Chen's mind.

   "William, long time no see~"

   Gollum!

   Yi Chen was so frightened that he choked into a mouthful of ice water at the bottom of the lake.

   Almost immediately after the entrance, the esophagus and stomach were severely frozen and cracked, and many organs in the body were frostbitten in a short period of time. The "black umbilical cord" hidden in the abdomen rushed over to help repair it.

   And Yi Chen's head also came from Xiao Grapei's calling voice:

   『William! William! 』

  The stimulation in the body and the sound transmission in the brain made Yi Chen shake his head violently.

   When I opened my eyes again,

   The head of the corpse excavated in front of him is no longer the appearance of [Moon Mark], but the corpse of a young man with natural white hair and a similar appearance.

   A faint moonlight penetrating the lake happened to fall on the young man's face... It seems that this ray of moonlight caused the illusion just now.

Suddenly,

   Yi Chen recalled the words when he parted from the Twilight Clinic:

   "The-Moon-is-watching-you."
