The Last Gentleman

Chapter 154: Reunion

Chapter 154 Reunion

By the lakeside, five valuable and important corpses were loaded into a corpse truck.

“You two follow me...”

 The lame Field led the way, with the two men following behind.

After walking around a dirt road paved with stones, you can see the incinerator with a tall chimney but not working, and the adjacent manager's house.

 When the two stepped into the house, a large amount of ice water splashed directly under their feet.

Looking down, I saw that the ground was actually covered with water stains. No wonder the old man wore rain boots on weekdays.

“Don’t mind, this water comes from the cold lake. If the water in the house becomes turbid, the temperature changes, etc., I can detect and deal with the abnormalities in the cold lake immediately.”

Perhaps it was the efficiency of the two young people in doing things, and Field's tone also became a little better.

 After Yi Chen and Regan found a place to sit down, he continued:

“Since you have worked in the cemetery, you should have discovered that the corpses just salvaged were not ‘mature’. Can you guess the reason?”

Yi Chen immediately gave the answer:

“The expansion of the gray area is unstoppable. Before the spread reaches the town, all the corpses in the cemetery must be moved. Even the cemetery itself and the entire town must be relocated.”

“That’s right, although it will take at least two years for the gray area of ​​​​the Holy Grail Mountain to spread.

  However, areas like cemeteries are easily affected in advance, and the transfer of corpses must be put on the agenda.

There is no relocation here. The cemetery relies on Cold Lake and cannot be moved to other places.

 I am too old to do more cemetery management work. Once the things here are taken care of, I should retire completely. "

 The hoarse and effervescent words exuded a sense of helplessness, as if he was about to lose the most important thing in his life.

“You two are lucky enough to come here at this time.

There are still seventeen hours between now and your official departure. You can bury the "cemetery products" you carry in the middle of the lake and plunder the essence of the corpses that have accumulated in the cold lake for many years.

 Take as much as you can. Anyway, this place will be demolished and nothing will be left. "

  When hearing this, Little Grape no longer hid, came out from the collar directly, and said unceremoniously:

 “There is such a good thing!”

Little Grape itself is very familiar with the operation of the cemetery. Each cemetery under the organization has its corresponding "characteristics". If such characteristics can be plundered, it will be very helpful for an incomplete cemetery product like it.

 When the old man saw the true appearance of the little grape, his eyes immediately narrowed into slits.

 With decades of cemetery experience, he was unable to characterize the small grapes for a while, and it was difficult to determine what kind of cemetery product it was.

 The only information available is ‘incomplete’.

 “Is this a product of the Seven Days Cemetery?”

Before Yi Chen could answer, Little Putao drew a circle with his arms, with a total of six fingers pointing at himself.

“Yes, this grape is the pinnacle masterpiece created by Mr. Wilbert using the unique mechanism of the Seven-Day Cemetery and spending countless efforts.

 Speaking of which, old man, did you keep your word? That cold lake is really a good place. I can **** away all the corpse essence that settled at the bottom of the lake, right? "

"The lake has been emptied, and this place is about to be abandoned. As long as you can do it, you can **** the entire lake dry... It just helps me save trouble."

Little Putao was also on top and slapped Yi Chen on the back of the head, "William, let's hurry up!"

Yi Chen was not in a hurry, but asked his teammates, "Regan, are you going?"

"Faye is in such a shape that she cannot be buried. I will stay here to talk to Mr. Field about other things."

"OK."

 Between the cold lakes,

Yi Chen paddled alone. As the last corpse in the middle of the lake was moved away, there were no longer any arms sticking out of the water. It was cold and silent.

 The little grape stands on the shoulder, with one hand on the hip like a captain, and the other hand points towards the center of the lake.

 The eyeballs were spinning in his mouth, and saliva was constantly overflowing from the corners of his mouth, extremely excited.

“There is a lot of essence deposited in such a historic cemetery, which will definitely allow me to awaken more memories and become more complete!

By the way, William, what did you do when you were fishing for corpses at the bottom of the lake? Why did you suddenly freeze up and actually choke on the water? I obviously didn't feel anything. "

 “Saw something ominous.”

“Is there something wrong with your thinking again? Or did you really see something?”

Yi Chen’s expression remained normal, and he pointed slightly at the hazy moon hidden behind the clouds in the night sky.

Little Putao immediately realized the meaning, and his high-spirited expression suddenly restrained, and he retracted his shoulders to reveal only half of his eyes.

 “Moon... marks? No way?”

“I don’t know either, but from the moment I left the city, I felt like I was being spied on by the moon.

Last time we went to the village church, there were trees and high walls at the incident site that completely blocked the sky, so we didn’t have much to worry about.

 But this time out of the city, we will be exposed to the night sky the whole way, and we will even get closer to the moon during the climb. "

Little Putao slowly calmed down and comforted himself by saying:

"Ben Putao thought about it carefully. It seems that you got help from Yueguang last time in the village... If Yuehen wants to kill you, he can do it while the carriage is on its way. There is no need to wait until now.

 You must have misunderstood. The "first priority" now is to improve yourself quickly.

 Let this grape become more complete and regain more memories and abilities.

 When you break through human limits, you will have the capital to confront that guy. "

 “Yeah.” Yi Chen just responded softly and didn’t say much.

 The canoe once again reached the center of the lake, where the temperature is the lowest, without any obstruction.

Little Putao jumped on her knees and flipped three and a half times in the air. She thought she would fall directly into the water, but she just landed on the edge of the boat.

“We don’t have much time, why don’t you go down?”

“Well~I am currently in an incomplete state, and I have basically no fighting ability when stripped alone. Do you understand what I mean?”

 Gajigaji~

Soft plant roots shoot out from Yi Chen’s fingertips and tie the body of the little grape like a seat belt.

"I'll be on the boat until you surface...if there's anything wrong just pull on the roots and I'll know."

Little Putao gave Yi Chen a thumbs up and plunged into the lake.

  When it comes to burial matters, Xiao Putao can be said to be an expert. It directly found the center of the entire lake and quickly dug into the earth to bury itself.

Black hair grows outward,

 Taste, feel and absorb the essence of Cold Lake, the essence of corpses accumulated from decades of burying corpses.

 Slowly, the entire lake surface changed due to the burial of the little grape.

 The originally pure and transparent lake water began to have a few black bubbles, and there was even a tendency to dye the lake water black.

Yi Chen didn’t pay attention to these changes.

  I don’t care about how many small grapes can be harvested,

He was sitting cross-legged in the canoe, seeming to be thinking about something and waiting for something... After confirming that Little Grape had entered the state, click~

Yichen took the initiative to cut off the plant roots and temporarily severed the connection with the small grapes.

 Not long after,

  A wooden boat slowly appeared in the dark field of vision. Strangely, the movement of the wooden boat did not make any waves, as if it was floating on the water.

Due to the distance and the fog, it was impossible to see clearly the appearance and figure of the boat riders.

Not long after, an extremely familiar and dangerous voice came from the other side:

 “You seem to have known I was coming.”

Yi Chen responded calmly: "The illusion at the bottom of the lake is not a coincidence. Since the signal has been sent, I naturally have to respond."

“William, I’m very curious~ I could vaguely feel the gaze of the moon, and I was clearly convinced that the illusion at the bottom of the lake was a message I deliberately threw out. Why not tell the old gentleman about my possible arrival?

That lame old guy is still very powerful. If he takes precautions, I won't dare to show up easily. "

“What’s the use of stopping you on the way?

 I will get closer to the moon during the climb, and once you get closer, the situation will only get worse... If you want to meet, if you want to talk, if you want to solve something, now is the best time.

 It is a good thing for you and me to clarify some things in advance.

 Also, thanks for the previous moonlight assistance in Jose Valley. "

The wooden boat got closer and closer, and one could barely make out the outline of a human figure on the boat. Two people were sitting on it, one behind the other.

"Don't worry~ I'm not here to kill you this time...but I need you to return the favor you helped me last time and in turn do me a favor."

 “What are you busy with?”

 “Take me to the other end of the passage…”

 When he said these words, the wooden boat was completely close.

The young man with moon-eyed silver hair seemed to be reunited after a long absence, with a smile from the heart on his face.

Beside him, there was still an "exposed" female doctor, but the female doctor's appearance was different. She was no longer responsible for infusion, but had a large number of surgical instruments hanging on her thighs.
