When I was in a world of unconventional rules and taboos

Boom!

The entire cemetery suddenly erupted with terrifying black energy, surging wildly like a tidal wave, causing the ground to shake violently, as if some monster was about to crawl out from within.

Clearly, the owner of the western cemetery was enraged by Su Ming.

The new tomb keeper in front of us not only killed its underlings, kicked over its offerings, stepped on its tombstone, and made threats, but also stabbed its tombstone with a knife!

This is absolutely outrageous!

It was just a slightly over-the-top "welcome ceremony," why such a big reaction?

I initially thought he was a complete newbie who knew nothing, someone I could easily manipulate.

It turned out to be a hothead who just took action!

It was incredibly unlucky!

When the strange contamination and oppressive force proved ineffective...

The owner of the western cemetery began preparing to personally teach this brat a lesson.

However, Su Ming still sneered, showing no fear whatsoever, as if he were watching a clown jumping around.

As if sensing something, the inscriptions on the tombstones of the Su family ancestral tombs in the eastern district began to emit wisps of light, carrying a sense of suppression.

The terrifying phenomenon in the West District appeared only for a moment before it was forcibly suppressed.

An angry roar erupted from the depths of the tomb.

Ultimately, it became deathly silent.

As expected, Su Ming's previous guess was correct.

The entire cemetery has its own unique layout.

The purpose is to maintain mutual restraint and balance, and to ensure that no major changes occur on the surface.

In fact, the layout of the cemetery on the mountain has remained unchanged for who knows how many years, and it has long formed a unique "ecosystem".

Two inauspicious locations and two habitable locations restrain and suppress each other to maintain a balance.

However, this restraint and balance is not absolute.

This can be seen from the fact that eerie winds, ghostly wails, and goblin-like monsters appear in the mass graves, and terrifying paper figures and withered tree heads appear in the western cemetery.

The terrifying monsters in these two dangerous locations can manifest some of their power to a certain extent.

However, this force is limited, and once it exceeds a critical point, it will lead to the suppression of the Su family ancestral tombs in the East District and the martyrs' cemetery in the South District.

In this situation, a special entity is naturally needed to help maintain the balance of all the graveyards.

That's the gravedigger!

The cemetery keepers are the core of maintaining order in the cemetery.

Besides their regular daily patrols and maintenance of the cemetery, gravediggers also have to meet the needs of certain creatures, keep them from causing trouble, and occasionally give them a nudge.

More importantly, they also had to guard against interference from other outsiders.

The degree of this must be determined by the tomb keeper himself.

Just like the chaotic state of the mass graves before, which led to the wandering ghosts wanting to rebel, there are basically two ways to deal with this situation.

One soft, one firm!

Most chosen ones will choose to resolve conflicts through gentle methods.

Su Ming, however, did not hesitate to choose the verbal approach and directly suppressed the opponent.

The gravedigger is facing a group of the dead, a group of non-human beings, a group of beings with the ability to think for themselves, who bully the weak and fear the strong.

While the gravedigger tries to balance the two sides, these inhuman monsters are also gradually testing the gravedigger's limits and abilities.

This kind of "probing" is an unspoken rule in all cemeteries, and it's even an old rule.

Whenever a new gravedigger arrives, the monsters of the two haunted sites will test his strength and abilities.

If the gravekeepers show weakness, they will naturally take advantage of the situation.

When the previous cemetery keeper arrived at the West Cemetery, he also encountered the exact same "test" as Su Ming.

However, this time the owner of the West Cemetery ran straight into a brick wall, encountering a hothead with a vicious personality and top-notch fighting skills who immediately attacked without hesitation, stabbing him without a second thought.

Moreover, they stepped on its "tombstone" and scolded it like a grandson.

Unfortunately, it was powerless against its opponent, as most of its power was suppressed by the ancestral tomb of the Su family in the east, and it couldn't get out at all.

Su Ming dealt with the terrifying paper figures under his command.

The eerie human head on that withered tree is a coward; if you make it fight this madman, it will probably play dead immediately.

In this situation, it instantly found itself in an awkward predicament.

Ultimately, the only solution was to "sum the results".

It finally understood that this new gravedigger was just a hothead.

They knew nothing about the unspoken rules among "grave keepers".

Moreover, he's just like the previous Su Laogui, turning on you in an instant, like a dog.

A surge of black energy suddenly erupted from the central, jet-black tombstone and flowed into Su Ming's body. It was briefly explained that it meant no harm, and that it was all a misunderstanding.

It simply hoped to test Su Ming in some "way," and incidentally, hoped that Su Ming would replant some flowers, trees, and shrubs in this cemetery.

The large tree planted by the previous gravedigger has withered due to the aura it emits.

In the entire western cemetery, apart from three jet-black tombstones,

All that's left is that withered tree not far away.

It's like a wasteland, not even a single weed grows there.

Seeing the other party back down, the red light in Su Ming's eyes dimmed slightly, but the ferocious smile on his face did not disappear. He asked in return:

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

"Who are you, and who are I? Know your place before you speak. Are you even qualified to test me?"

"Let me reiterate, I know exactly what I should and shouldn't do, and you don't need to worry about it."

"I'll tolerate your foolishness this time because of your sincere attitude; however, this is the first and the last time."

"If there's a next time, no one can protect you, I'm telling you."

puff--

The dagger of sin was pulled out, and a foul-smelling liquid spurted out.

A rich energy circulated within the Sinful Dagger, flowing into his body and strengthening his physical form.

The oppressive feeling on his body also became even heavier.

At this moment, Su Ming felt that ordinary guns could no longer penetrate his skin.

Well, just one stab in the back, and it generates so much sinful energy?

Their total number is equivalent to two and a half "terrifying neighbors".

The guy buried below is probably not much different from the "father" of the previous ghost story instance.

Looks like a tough character!

Su Ming fell silent instantly, the red light in his eyes intensifying once more.

A restless fellow suddenly got the urge to cause trouble.

The owner of the western cemetery had just breathed a sigh of relief when he felt a sudden chill creep into his heart, as if he were being watched by something.
