Chapter 136: Each Has His Own Agenda (Two in One)

According to the gravekeeper's request, Wu Chang needed to store the transported bodies in the church around Cemetery No. 44 and wait until the next day to bury them.

The body bags were transported to the chapel on a flatbed truck. He and Haner opened the bags one by one and made sure that the hands and feet of the bodies were tied before they could leave the chapel.

Wu Chang deliberately put the body in question last to be unpacked. After confirming that the first six bodies were correct, he opened the seventh body bag. Just as he was about to say that this body felt a little strange, Han Er exclaimed before him.

"What's wrong?" Wu Chang asked.

Haner pointed at the dead body and said, "He is Evan, a carpenter in the Serina district. I often asked him to repair my tools when they were broken. If I remember correctly, he had an accident last month and was chosen by the resurrection ceremony. He just came back to life."

Wu Chang took the opportunity to examine Evan's body. With Haner's identification, they found that Evan had the mark of a Soul Light Church believer on his body, and also found traces of Suihuo treatment on him.

This also completely confirmed Irene's previous guess.

Those who participated in the resurrection ceremony, lying on the holy table, were the people favored by God and the focus of everyone's attention. When they got off the holy table, no one would care whether they died in some corner of the city afterwards.

In addition to the fact that miracles were fake, what made Wu Chang even more suspicious was whether the Tranquility Church was deliberately sending these believers who had been processed and resurrected to the cemetery?
What exactly is the Church of Tranquility planning?
Wu Chang took out the Soul-Cleansing Banner and easily saved Evan's soul. He also took advantage of Haner's inattention to let go of his true self who had social phobia and ate him angrily.

Consume 0.5 Willpower, gain 0.5 Strength.

Wu Chang shook his head. Eating small fish to accumulate strength was too slow. If he wanted to replenish his strength, he still had to eat elite monsters.

While Wu Chang was picky about the harvest, the atmosphere on Lei Hu's side was not very good.

In the cemetery No. 39, in front of the gravekeeper's hut where Lei Hu was, six players gathered together in a solemn atmosphere, as if they were waiting for something.

A few minutes later, a player dressed as a ninja jumped down from the tree and landed in the center of the crowd.

The ninja's name is Oda, from Sakurajima. He is an agility expert and is good at reconnaissance, tracking and assassination. He was one of the three people, including Wu Chang, who did not have time to introduce themselves.

Oda bowed to Lei Hu and said, "I went to check the cemetery No. 43. The cannon was not in the gravekeeper's hut. The gravekeeper's oil lamp and the previous gravekeeper's notes were not in the room. He should have entered the cemetery last night and never came back."

There was one thing Oda didn't say. If there was nothing wrong with the artillery, then there must have been an accident.

They encountered a blood moon on the first night of entering the dungeon. Among the seven people present, four gave up on night patrol and used a chance of fault tolerance to avoid the first kill in the dungeon.

Obviously, the artillery chose to face the challenge, but unfortunately failed.

Lei Hu looked at the ronin beside him and said to everyone, "I am not good at raiding dungeons. The Demon Slayer brother beside me is a master in the Iron Armored Group who specializes in raiding dungeons. After thinking about it last night, he has already worked out a plan for raiding dungeons."

Ronin walked out from Lei Hu, nodded to everyone, and said:
"I believe that after everyone signed the gravekeeper agreement, they should have received a notebook from the previous gravekeeper. The notebook contains many taboos about the cemetery. The copy we are in is a B-level copy that is on the verge of getting out of control. Before we fully understand the reasons for the taboos and find countermeasures, I think we should be conservative and not actively violate the taboos."

“Artillery is the best example.”

Several players agreed with Ronin's words.

Ronin changed the subject and said, "However, in a copy that is on the verge of getting out of control, the situation inside the copy may deteriorate at any time. It is extremely difficult to complete the main mission by surviving for 30 days. We can't just sit there and wait for death. We must take the initiative to collect intelligence."

"There are many taboos in exploring the cemetery. We might as well set our sights on Serina City first."

"Today during the day, I went to Serina City and took a look around. I found that there is an organization in the city called the Soul Light Sect, which has caused three miracles on its own. Miracles are the core setting of this dungeon. From this, I can infer that the Soul Light Sect must have an important relationship with the completion of the dungeon."

The ronin said, looking towards Oda.

"During the day, the Soul Light Sect not only has many believers, but also has guards sent by various nobles to maintain order. It is extremely difficult to investigate. Only at night, when the defense is lax, do we have a chance."

"Oda, you completed your night patrol before the blood moon last night. You still have enough room for error. In order to complete the clearance, we need you to go again and explore the Soul Light Sect."

Oda frowned and was about to blurt out Baka, but when he met Lei Hu's eyes, he swallowed the words back.

"Then I'll go, but I can't guarantee whether I can gain anything."

Ronin smiled and continued to assign tasks: "While the blood moon has not appeared, we should participate in the night patrol as much as possible and search for intelligence in the cemetery. However, in a copy that is on the verge of getting out of control, it is taboo to act alone. We should work in groups of two and act together during the night patrol."

As the Ronin finished the grouping, Oda went to Serina Castle, and the other players returned to their respective graveyards, leaving only Lei Hu and Ronin on the field.

Ronin looked at Lei Hu and said hesitantly, "Do we really want to let the copy get out of control?"

Lei Hu said nonchalantly: "This is the other party's request, we just need to do it. Don't worry, he has already sent the props to end the dungeon early, and the dungeon getting out of control will not affect us."

"But once the copy erodes reality, then..."

"So what?" Lei Hu answered impatiently.

"A new era is coming. Players like you and me who can seize opportunities will be the masters of the future. Ordinary people are just ants. What does it matter if more of them die? Without strength, you are just a big ant. Instead of caring about them, you should care about yourself first."

The Ironclad Group is a PVP cancer gang that values ​​strength above all else and treats life as worthless. In order to achieve their own goals, they often attack players, so how could they care about the lives of ordinary people?

Thinking of Baldy and Hanshi who died in the copy, Ronin sighed. Lei Hu was right. It was because he realized this that he chose to join Lei Hu and others.

However, as a dungeon strategy player, Ronin always thinks more. "I just wonder who commissioned us to do this and what their purpose is."

Lei Hu sneered, "You just need to know that we are not qualified to refuse, and the other party can offer sufficient compensation, that's enough."

Ronin did not stop there. "I have to think more. What should we do with the Administration if the matter is exposed?"

"Why was it exposed?" Lei Hu showed a cruel smile, "As long as we kill all the other people before we take action, no one will know that it was the Iron Armored Group that did it, right?"

"Because of the last dungeon incident, you have always hated the Administration, right? I will let you vent your anger on that guy from the Administration. Don't forget to squeeze all the juice out of him before you kill him. That guy looks like a fool, and the Administration must have put a lot of effort into him to survive until now. Don't waste it."

Inside the Soul Light Cathedral, Oda, who had entered an advanced state of stealth, moved as fast as the wind, passing quickly between the patrolling church guards, and no one noticed his arrival at all.

The scout expertise gave him powerful observation skills. After entering the cathedral, he dodged three magic traps, quietly cracked two secret door mechanisms, and came to the deepest room in the cathedral.

Then he...

Knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Oda pushed the door open and walked into the room. Inside the room was a secret altar. What was enshrined inside was not the light of the soul, but a crescent-shaped eye.

If Wu Chang were here, he would definitely recognize this as the symbol of the Tranquility Sect.

Zhang Huo was kneeling in front of the secret altar, praying devoutly. Oda didn't dare to disturb him, so he stood at the door and prayed quietly with him.

After a while, the fire master finished praying and slowly stood up from the mat. He wiped the secret altar and asked casually:
"I hope no one discovered me on the way here."

"No, please rest assured, Your Highness." Oda bowed suddenly, folding his body into a standard right angle.

Palm Fire frowned and said, "I am just one of the candidates for the Holy Son, not yet the Holy Son."

Oda said seriously: "As long as you complete the great miracle, you will definitely become the Son of God. Compared with you, other candidates have no competition at all."

A faint smile appeared on the Fire Master's face. He had devoted all his efforts to the Soul Light Sect, which was his bargaining chip for the position of the Holy Son. If the Soul Light Sect succeeded, the position of the Holy Son would be a sure thing. It was a pity that because of his arrogance some time ago, a thief stole the key Four-sided Fire Lantern. Otherwise, he would have closed the net a few days ago and would not have waited for this group of players to enter.

I get so angry every time I think about it, you bastard, don't let me catch you!
Zhang Huo calmed down and asked, "How is the player doing?"

Oda lowered his head, his voice a little weak, "I suspect they have discovered that there is something wrong with me and are testing me."

"Why? You have always been cautious and should not be exposed."

Oda said, "Maybe I was exposed because I completed the night patrol under the red moon last night. When they were discussing today, they deliberately sent me away under the pretext of looking for missing players. Especially the player named Zhangui, he said it was dangerous to act alone, and sent me to test the Soullight Cathedral. It was obvious that he was setting a trap for me."

Zhang Huo's face showed a little solemnity. The Iron Armored Regiment was worthy of its reputation of being good at fighting with players. Their vision was so vicious.

One wrong step leads to another. If it weren’t for the Sifang Suihuo Deng that delayed the important matter, he wouldn’t have encountered these troublesome guys.

"What are you going to do?"

Oda was silent for a moment, then said, "I plan to take advantage of the situation and bring back some unimportant information. I will then ask you to make some noise and spread the word that someone has sneaked into the church and is trying to steal the holy relics."

"As long as they don't have an excuse to deal with me, I will wait until the next blood moon to assassinate the player named Zhan Gui. He is a master who specializes in dungeon strategies. Lei Hu is simple-minded, and he is the one who makes all the plans behind the scenes. Your Highness, rest assured, I will not let them complete the dungeon breakthrough even if I die!"

Zhang Huo nodded, with approval in his eyes. He took out a tool and handed it to Oda, saying:

"Just go ahead and do it. God will bless you."

"Yes!"

The other players all had their own ulterior motives and were scheming against each other, but Wu Chang was much more relaxed.

Wu Chang, Irene and Han Er were sitting in the gravekeeper's cabin, playing Landlord and waiting for the night patrol to begin.

"Three with one. Brother Haner, will there be another blood moon tonight?"

"Never mind. There are intervals between blood moons. Usually, there is only one in a month, and sometimes it appears twice."

Wu Chang threw a bomb and asked, "What problems will arise if I don't patrol at night?"

Han Er also threw out a bomb, "The role of the gravekeeper is not simply to guard the cemetery, but also to isolate the inside and the outside, to prevent outsiders from entering at will, and to prevent things inside from running out."

Wu Chang frowned and said, "I can't afford it."

"The night patrol is not only to observe the situation in the cemetery, but also to appease the souls inside as a grave keeper. If you miss the night patrol for many times in a short period of time, some restless souls will become agitated. It's not a big deal for new souls, but if you wake up an old guy like the tree monster yesterday, it will be more dangerous."

Haner said, throwing out a pair of three.

Irene then threw out the only pair of sixes in her hand and ran away.

Wu Chang stared at the table in a daze, then turned to look at Han Er, "Are you sick? We are a family."

Han Er scratched his head and said, "I was so busy answering your question that I didn't notice who was with which family. If you knew, why didn't you say it just now?"

Wu Chang said, "I thought you were multiplying the numbers."

Irene sat nearby, shuffling the cards and watching the two quarrelling.

When she was a saint, the concept of entertainment did not exist in her mind. Learning knowledge, helping others, and spreading the glory of the Lord were everything in her life.

People around her would also deliberately avoid talking about topics that were not related to the church.

After completing her soul, under Wu Chang's guidance, she discovered that there were so many things in life that she had never seen before.

Wu Chang often told her that it was not easy to become a human being. It was not enough to be able to think and have feelings. One must also live with flesh and blood and be able to decide one's own path with one's own will to be considered a real person.

She understood this sentence, but the words Wu Chang said afterwards, such as cattle and horses, and tools, were still a bit profound and she could not comprehend them for the time being.

There was still half an hour left before the night patrol, and the three were preparing for another round, but just then, there was a knock on the door.

dong dong dong.

Wu Chang touched the cards and said casually, "The takeaway is at the door, thank you."

After a brief pause, he realized something was wrong and asked again, "This is Cemetery No. 44. What's the matter?"

A gentle and charming voice came from outside, "I have something to do and need to enter Cemetery No. 44. Please help me open the gate of the cemetery."

Han Er whispered, "Invitation letter."

Wu Chang nodded and shouted, "Do you have the invitation letter?"

A voice outside said, "Are you the new gravekeeper?"

"Yes, I just took office last night."

"I'm sorry, I thought it was the same gravekeeper as before. He and I are old friends, so I can enter the cemetery without an invitation letter. I have something urgent to do right now, so I forgot my invitation letter. Could you please make an exception and let me follow you into the cemetery when you're on night patrol later?"

Wu Chang winked at Han Er, "Your acquaintance?"

Han Er shook his head. “I don’t have such a terrible friend. Do you remember what I told you yesterday?”

Wu Chang shrugged and motioned Han Er to go into the inner room first. "Of course I remember, but there is a saying in our country that it is a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar."

Abyss Game translated this sentence into the language of the Mikkel Kingdom. Haner heard it and said in confusion: "But the people outside are not my friends."

Wu Chang shook his finger. "What this means is that a friend has come from afar to spar with me, so how can I not have a good fight?"

Haner: “Ah?”

Wu Chang pushed Han Er into the inner room, and then directly opened the door of the gravekeeper's wooden house.

Standing outside the door was a young man in a tuxedo. The tuxedo was exquisitely made and one could tell at a glance that he came from a famous family.

Seeing that Wu Chang didn't reply for a while, the man thought that Wu Chang would not open the door unless he saw the invitation letter. He was halfway to knock on the door when Wu Chang opened the door. He didn't know where to put his hand and could only wave stiffly.

Are the vigilance of gravekeepers so low nowadays?

He prepared seven or eight excuses, forged several tokens, and even thought of threatening lines, but the door opened when he knocked?
"You are Han'er's old friend, right? It's cold outside, come in and sit down." Wu Chang said as he pulled the man into the house.

The man sat on the chair, and Wu Chang, Irene, and my true self who was using social phobia, surrounded him in a V-shape.

Wu Chang smiled brightly and asked, "What's the matter with you entering the cemetery so late at night?"
