Chapter 168: Unfamiliar Power
Carl and his companions were a little at a loss. The things written on the wooden board were as common as the guidelines for buying vegetables in the vegetable market, but they were involved in skeletons. What if it was really like the notice said, ringing the bell, and a few skeletons ran out and buried them together?
After struggling for a while, Carl couldn't even make up his mind to ring the bell. Finally, his companion said, "You hide from afar first, I'll ring the bell, and I'll run after ringing the bell."
Carl agreed. If this was not the case, they would have to throw the body on the side of the road and let the wild dogs chew it. As a scavenger, there is still this professional ethics.
Putting the body in a body bag, Carl found a place where he could see the main entrance of the cemetery and hid. His companions rang the bell, turned around and ran away. After a while, four black skeletons walked out of the cemetery on a stretcher.
Black skeleton?
Black often gives people a clean and tidy feeling, because it is not visible at all the dirt, but it is white, and a little dirt is obvious.
The four black skeletons give people a solemn, neat and dry feeling. They did not mean chasing the bell ringer, but walked straight to the shroud, first pulled open the shroud and exposed the head of the corpse, confirming that this was a dead person.
The shroud is specially made and woven from mixed soil. It can preserve corpses to the greatest extent, but it also prevents the soul from being permeable to the general strength, so that ordinary skeletons cannot see through it.
It was confirmed that it was dead, so I tied the shroud again and moved the body to the stretcher. The four skeletons carried the stretcher to the height of their shoulders, and slowly walked into the cemetery at a slow but neat, solemn and serious speed and pace.
The entire process was designed by Luo Xu, and the speed was particularly emphasized, making the whole process full of ritual, because many people took this set.
Carl was very fond of this set. In this solemn ritual atmosphere, he felt that the corpse was highly respected, and suddenly he felt a great favor for this steel-collar cemetery.
The second time he brought the body over, Carl chose to ring the bell himself. After ringing, he ran away dozens of meters, but the cemetery skeleton could see his location after it came out.
The skeleton that came out could obviously see him, but he had no intention of chasing him and carried the corpse in.
The third time, Carl plucked up his courage and stood there after ringing the bell. The skeletons who came out to carry the corpse still ignored him. Seeing these black skeletons walking with solemn steps, Carl gritted his teeth and followed in.
When he entered the cemetery, Carl discovered that the environment inside was better than outside. It was simply a garden with clean and tidy gravel floors and good drainage made the ground dry. It was completely different from before, and he had a foot of mud when he came in.
As for the stinking corpses, bugs, garbage, etc., you can't see any of them. Not to mention dead people or living people can't live there, and Carl's own environment is simply not as good as here.
The cemetery has been dug one by one, all with vertical holes. The skeletons carried the corpse to the nearest open tomb, leaned one of the stretcher beside the hole, and then slowly slid the corpse in and covered the tombstone.
After finishing all this, the four black skeletons put away the stretcher, returned to their own tomb, crawled in, and pulled up the tombstone.
During the whole process, no skeleton paid attention to Carl who was terrified. Finally, the cemetery became quiet, leaving only a gentle breeze blowing, and the rustling leaves were shaking, like a garden that was resting in the afternoon.
Since then, Carl has become more and more courageous. Not only will he follow the cemetery every time he sends the body over, he will also take a nap in the cemetery, and even can't sleep during the hot summer nights, he will also move the bedding to the cemetery to sleep.
There are several benefits to sleeping in a cemetery: one is quiet, the second is easier to fall asleep, the third is cool and dry, and the fourth is no bites of mosquitoes.
Under Carl's leadership, more and more people regarded the cemetery as a good place for leisure, and from time to time they ran over in groups, chatting and enjoying the cool air to do handicrafts. An old lady brought all the hand-spinning machines at home.
As long as the operation of the cemetery does not affect the operation, no skeleton will come out to stop it, and there will be no trace of skeletons usually. Only when the corpses are buried can four skeletons get up to carry the corpses.
Once there are too many people, any kind of monsters may happen. Some people fight in the cemetery, some people grow hair, they bring stones to press the tombstones of the skeletons, and some people are making a big fuss and drowning everywhere.
These guys were hung up and put down for a day and a night. If they commit the crime again, they will be buried directly in the tomb and buried alive.
With the guarantee of force, the cemetery area has become the most peaceful and quiet place in the town. Anyone who comes here becomes polite and civilized.
On the night of that day, a thin figure sneaked into the cemetery. She came to the skeletons' tomb, begged hard without saying a word, and her head knocked so hard that the ground sounded, but she continued without any sense. No one could see it. The power formed by a little thought condensed and penetrated into the skeletons in the tomb.
In Moti City, more than a thousand kilometers away, Luo Heng suddenly raised his head and sensed the strange power that was gathering into the soul network in shock. Soon he couldn't sit still, jumped out of the window, shouting: "Immortal Sky."
Not long after, a giant dragon soared into the sky with Luo Xu.
The Steel Bone Cemetery in Annuo Town ushered in a new day and became lively again. Several idle guys in the town came here early. They planned to take a good place as soon as possible and play a game called bridge that came from somewhere.
This bridge game has fifty-four cards, from big to small, with only two largest ones, namely the King of Steel Bone and the Bone King clone, then four undead saints of different suits, four lich kings of different suits, and then tin zombies, golden skeletons, and nineteen eight seven sixty-five rows from big to small.
Big cards can defeat small cards, combine different suits and colors, and can defeat different cards. The gameplay is very diverse and very attractive.
The cemetery is the quietest and coolest place, but there are too many rules, otherwise they wouldn’t have to come early in the morning to take up space and just drive people away.
When they entered the cemetery, the gangsters saw a thin figure still beating.
"Oh, isn't this Miss Qiao Wei, who was worshipping the dead at home and offended the Holy Spirit and could not rest in peace after death? Why? I begged here, do you want to invite these bones to take you in?" A gangster mocked, causing a burst of laughter.
Qiao Wei, who was kneeling on the ground and begging her head, raised her head and revealed a face that was wrinkled like dead tree bark. This was a lich.
