Chapter 223 Stone Statue Cemetery

The fully activated gargoyle, exuding the unique stone miasma of the cemetery, stared at the two people below with ruby ​​eyes:

“The Stone Statue Cemetery has been closed, and all corpse burial, transfer, processing and production work between cemeteries has been suspended. If you have any questions, please go to the city hall for consultation.

If you continue to approach the cemetery or behave like a suspected attack on the cemetery, the cemetery's unique defense system will be activated. "

Yi Chen took off the sun badge and showed it in front of the gargoyle.

 Two red lights visible to the naked eye are emitted from the jewel-shaped eyes and converge on the badge.

“Members of the Church of the Sun, you have been granted restricted access to the cemetery. After entering the cemetery, please go to the [Stone House] where the owner is located under the leadership of the steward. Once you are more than ten meters away from the steward, the cemetery’s defense system will be activated.”

 The words ended, and the heavy door opened inwards.

A butler is waiting behind the door. His entire face is made of stone. He has no eyes or in other words, he does not need eyes at all. He can accurately know the location of the cemetery just by touching the soles of his feet.

The butler had no intention of waiting for the two of them. The moment the door opened, he had already turned around and started leading the way.

Yi Chen slapped the stunned Barry behind him. The sound of armor brought him back to his senses and he quickly followed.

Since I had to follow the housekeeper, the fog was too thick along the way and I couldn't see the specific scene of the cemetery. I only knew that the specifications of this cemetery had reached [large].

Seventh Cemetery, where Yichen once worked, and Lenghu Cemetery, where the essence of Little Grape was absorbed, both belong to [Small].

 It is also a long walk from the gate to the cemetery manager’s room.

As the experience deepened, Barry gradually adapted and was no longer afraid, "It's really a stone statue cemetery~ I heard that half of the gargoyles in Zion City are produced here. The owner of this cemetery is considered to be the highest-level stone carving One of the teachers.

 The stone sculptures made by him can serve as perfect soul containers, accepting independent souls bred in the cemetery and turning them into terrifying stone sculptures. "

Yi Chen ignored Barry. He was communicating with a cemetery professional in his body:

　　　　Little Grape, do you have any ideas? 』

　　　What can I think? Large cemeteries like this are guarded by strong men among you humans. If I make any small moves, I will be discovered immediately. 』

Yi Chen was speechless for a while, "I just asked you whether this cemetery is related to the death incident." 』

　　　　Oh~ I can’t feel anything at the moment. Whether it’s the corpse smell emanating from the soil in the cemetery, the humidity in the air, or the operation of the entire cemetery factory is quite normal. 』

　　　Well, I think so.

 If something goes wrong in such an important cemetery, it will definitely be discovered as soon as possible. I'll try to chat with the cemetery manager later, and maybe I can allow you to absorb some of the cemetery's essence like I did last time at Cold Lake Cemetery. 』

After walking for more than 20 minutes, we finally reached the so-called [Stone House]

 A lonely, square stone house with simple structure is located at the end of the road, without doors or windows.

As the stone butler walked toward him, his body merged with the stone house and turned into a door structure, opening inwards.

Yi Chen stepped into it first,

Barry took off his bucket helmet, held it in his hands, and followed behind with some restraint.

The scene inside the stone house made the two of them a little surprised. They did not directly see the cemetery manager.

It is filled with various handmade suitcases and large bags, which are carried in the hands or carried on the shoulders by many stone-carved housekeepers, as if they are preparing for a long journey.

 The secret passage in the center of the stone house is fully opened, and the stairs extend downward.

At this moment, a rather funny voice came from the bottom: "If you two are okay, come down and help."

Yi Chen and Barry looked at each other and immediately walked down the dark passage.

The following corresponds to a craft room dedicated to stone carving production. At present, most of the equipment and materials have been packed, and a special mold table is currently being folded and transported.

The so-called cemetery manager is actually a middle-aged dwarf with brown hair who looks a little funny, and may not even be one meter tall.

The dwarf wears a set of hand-made exoskeleton armor (stone and steam). With the help of three butlers, he can barely lift the mold table, making it difficult to move.

“This thing is a bit heavy, you two come over and help me.”

 It looked like a very ordinary mold table, but when Yi Chen started to use it, he was stunned, as if he was moving a small mountain.

Yi Chen didn’t ask any further questions, and immediately used all his strength. It could be seen that the iron chains between his arms were swimming under the skin.

Barry's face was also flushed with shock, and blue veins popped out.

 Cooperating with the four stone statue stewards, it was difficult to move things to the top.

The dwarf quickly took off his armor and patted the thighs of the two of them with his hand. "You two little guys have pretty good strength. Your faces are very strange. I seem to have never seen you before."

Yi Chen quickly explained: "Barry and I just came from Zion to assist the local gentlemen in investigating the source of death. We received Dean Dis' sun badge for our groundbreaking investigation."

Who knows?

The dwarf was not interested in the 'groundbreaking investigation' at all. Instead, he said with a surprised look on his face: "Are you coming here to die? You two have pretty good talents. Wasting talents is not the style of the organization."

 “Fortunately, Barry and I have captured someone...”

Before Yi Chen could finish speaking, the dwarf directly slapped a piece of parchment paper with G&D on them.

“For the sake of helping me move my things, I would like to share with you this advance notice issued by Zion’s senior management to me, Dean Dis, and the mayor. Please do not spread it to others.”

Dear Mr. Rube, since the Prophet cannot read any future information about the city of Levenholm, he cannot formulate any survival rules.

 The potential dangers hidden in cities are immeasurable. Please immediately pack up the stone statue cemetery you manage.

 Once the situation becomes serious, the organization will abandon everything in Levenholm and build a high wall to permanently block the entire city≯

"this…"

“Do you see it clearly? Although the decision to abandon and block has not yet been made directly, the organization has detected the danger in advance.

 I will pack up and leave here tonight. Anyway, as long as I am still alive and with these important tools packed together, the stone statue cemetery can be rebuilt in a short time. "

"Mr. Luber, are you really not going to try for it? Dean Dis and his colleagues have really made a breakthrough."

"So what if there is progress? I don't like gambling... The gray area is spreading and expanding across the world. It will be a matter of time before this city is swallowed up. I just left one step ahead of time. Life is more important than anything else.

Since it is fate tonight, do you two want to go with me? I can guarantee you that the organization will not hold you accountable for your temporary escape. "

“No, we have decided to investigate to the end here.”

“What a pity~ I can only wish you good luck.”

The cemetery manager Rubeus waved his hand gently, and the top of the stone roof automatically opened, and multiple gargoyles arrived to carry the goods together.

“Mr. Rube, since you are leaving, do you still have any use for this cemetery?”

Yi Chen's question made the other party stunned, and at the same time he stopped to look at this gentleman young man again.

 “Do you want to take over here?”

“It’s not a matter of taking over. I have never learned the knowledge of cemetery management. I have only worked in a cemetery. If Mr. Luber decides to leave, I want to make use of the remaining value of the cemetery.”

"tell me the story."

As Little Grape appeared from his shoulder, Rubeus immediately put down the suitcase in his hand and cast a pure gaze that could penetrate the soul.

“How can you pack so many interesting souls into such a small ‘container’ and form an independent whole? Moreover, this little guy exudes two different cemetery atmospheres...whose handiwork is this?”

 “Little grapes are produced in the Seven Days Cemetery.”

“It’s interesting~ I’ll take some time to visit that guy Wilbert.

 The stone statue cemetery is all given to you. Once I leave, all creation will leave together. No one will care what you do here~ Of course, how much surplus value you can extract depends on your ability.

 Don't die, young man, I'll run away first. "

   Lately, I've been stuck so much that I can't even save my manuscript. I'll take a break on the weekend as usual to adjust my state~
