Lord of Secrets

Last night, he did not check Rom's body. After taking revenge on him, Horus fell asleep on the bed.

Although as a "gravekeeper", his instinct made him not afraid of corpses, but he still had some barriers to it. Accepting it was one thing, but whether to accept it was another.

And Horus believed that his soul had a part of Rom's, but his body still belonged to him. So he must have changed his appearance, and as for the disguise, it must be something like a human skin mask.

So he did not intend to take it off himself, but waited for Uncle Lime to verify the truth himself.

However, now things seem to have gone wrong.

Horus then took a step forward and approached Rom's body, but at this time, Lime stopped him with both hands, and then said in a hoarse voice: "Get out!"

Some other villagers had already attacked Horus with farm tools, and then shouted: "Go to hell, outsider!"

Horus frowned, quickly approached Rom's body, and then groped Rom's neck with his skinny hands, trying to verify the truth.

Lime wanted to push Horus away, but he couldn't.

However, in a second, Horus was completely sure that the other person's face was not fake, and it was not a mask fitted on his face.

At this time, other villagers attacked him one after another. Horus took a look, his expression was a little complicated, and then summoned the "tombstone" to teleport himself away.

He was surrounded by dozens of villagers, and they were holding various farm tools in their hands. They must have heard the news while working and rushed over.

If he wanted to leave without hurting the villagers, this was the only way. Besides, he was not a warrior, and he had fighting skills to bypass them.

"Devil, damn devil!" Lime felt the cold breath, shuddered slightly, and then shouted loudly.

He clenched his fists and wanted to step forward and attack the murderer who killed Uncle Rom's family.

Facing the unknown, he hesitated, but in the end his blood made him explode, but the other party had already escaped.

The other villagers were also a little scared, but they were holding farm tools, which gave them a little confidence.

Lime was a little regretful. He looked at everyone with red eyes and said, "Uncles and grandfathers, our village does not need outsiders. They are just a group of demons."

The villagers said, "That's right. Whoever dares to come to our village will be burned to death with fire."

"Now, we are going to kill that outsider!" Lime said loudly.

The villagers picked up various farm tools and gathered to look for Horus.

...

"Instead of spreading the truth, it is better to weave lies or hide everything."

Horus suddenly understood why he had never known the other side of the world before.

Sometimes the truth is terrifying and frightening. Either weave lies to cover it up or hide everything.

So, Horus regretted telling them that Romtz was killed by an outsider six years ago. It was not because it caused their misunderstanding and hatred, but because he felt that this matter should not have been mentioned early.

If Romtz really changed his appearance, and they discovered the truth as Horus had predicted before, it might make them more painful.

So, this matter should not have been mentioned early, and he should have left the village directly.

Horus stopped towards the village and whispered, "The 'gravekeeper' should quietly guard the secrets buried underground, rather than telling everything to the public."

Suddenly, he had an epiphany, and then he felt his body loosen, as if something was fitting.

When he was in the White Maple Cemetery, he had felt a similar situation, but he didn't understand it very well at the time.

Now it looks like the secret medicine is digested.

He always has a fear of the mystery as he understands it more and more, but unfortunately she has no other way to go.

Horus once again relied on the "tombstone" to teleport to the dense forest more than 20 meters away, and then quietly left.

Relying on the thin mist, his figure slowly merged into the deep dense forest.

Slowly coming to the distance of the village, Horus stood next to an old tree, quietly looking at the village below.

He was a little puzzled why Rom's face was real, after all, Uncle Lime would never make a mistake.

Could it be plastic surgery... This thought suddenly popped up in Horus' mind, but it felt a little incredible to him.

Could it be that everyone in the Southern Continent knows how to have plastic surgery?

Suddenly, he thought of those sealed objects and magical objects. At the gathering in Baifeng City, he only heard some descriptions about sealed objects from the side, but he had never seen them.

Because he had no money, he only listened to others at those one or two gatherings, and then analyzed some information by himself. As for the boat ticket to the Southern Continent, it was obtained from the coffins with burial objects in the cemetery.

So Horus knew only a little about sealed objects, but he once heard a short man with blue eyes say that sealed objects have various abilities, including some that ordinary people cannot understand.

Now that he thought about it, Romci might have similar sealed objects.

After thinking for a while, Horus planned to wait until they left in the evening to see if Romci had any sealed objects.

But whether there was or not, he decided to leave the village before tomorrow morning, and as for the explanation, forget it.

…

Eight o'clock in the evening.

There was black mist surrounding Dilafe Peak. Horus looked at the hazy blue moon and then slowly walked towards the village relying on his memory.

Although Horus's ability was not suppressed like Romji's, but was slightly strengthened, he still couldn't see the distant scene clearly at night.

As he approached the village, Ubermo heard no other sounds. The livestock had already entered their dens and did not dare to make a sound.

And the villagers dare not go out at night, because they will get lost in the black fog, walk towards the top of Dilafe Peak, and then disappear completely.

And the result of disappearance is definitely death.

This is what Romji once told him, hundreds of years of blood lessons, so even if the villagers hate Horus, they will not go out at night.

It's just that no one wants to leave here and live in the outside world. They are quite stubborn in a certain way.

Horus could also understand them. The word "hometown" was always engraved deep in his heart and was difficult to erase. So even though the villagers didn't know how many people died because of Tilafe Peak, they never thought of escaping here.

Maybe it's not just because this is their "hometown", but they also want to find an answer for their missing relatives.

Horus walked slowly towards Ramci's house, like a corpse wandering around the village at night. All the villagers closed their doors tightly, fearing him.

Horus was not sure whether they had buried Romci, but he came here to take a look anyway.

In the darkness, Horus gently opened the door and approached the room where Romji lived, and immediately saw him lying quietly on the bed, neatly arranged.

After a moment of silence, Horus took a few steps forward and came to Romji's body.

When he came to Yuri, he didn't know how to find the target. He just walked casually and landed in a small village for the first time. He didn't expect such a thing to happen.

After coming back to his senses, Horus carefully groped every place on Romci's body. Immediately, he took the ancient pendant around Romji's neck in his hand and looked at it.

This is an amethyst pendant. The rope is somewhat damaged, and a small corner of the amethyst is missing, as if it was knocked.

However, he didn't feel anything unusual.

Horus put the amethyst pendant aside and continued to examine the things on Romji's body.

For a moment, he noticed that Romji's left middle finger seemed fake. The other fingers of the left hand were bent and stiff, but the left middle finger was still stretched out, as if it were inlaid.

Recalling his previous meeting with Romji, Horus discovered that he had been hiding his left hand under his sleeve and had not exposed it.

After a second's pause, Horus touched his left middle finger and pinched it a few times.

But he didn't feel anything.

Until he checked Romji thoroughly, he found that except for the amethyst pendant and the strangeness of Romji's left middle finger, there were no other items or strange places.

Horus immediately fell into thinking, and he didn't know how to identify sealed objects.

He just stood there quietly, his dark eyes staring at Romji without looking away.

After a moment of silence, he picked up the amethyst pendant and placed it in front of him to observe carefully. For a moment, he slowly injected a touch of spirituality into it.

Amethyst just seems to have a layer of shimmer, which is very beautiful.

Putting down the amethyst pendant, Horus put his finger on Romji's left middle finger. He then gently pinched the left middle finger and poured a little spirituality into it.

Immediately, he felt some information coming from his mind:

"Sealed Item 3-468, 'Surgical Finger Bone', the user's temperament will gradually become distorted. The appearance of the dead can be peeled off and integrated into his own face. Each use requires one of the user's fingers, and at the same time the 'Surgical Finger Bone' 'The finger bones will be replaced. When all ten fingers are used up, the user's soul will be bitten by the ten people they replaced, and they will go crazy."

In addition to the basic information about this sealed object, what was also passed on to Horus was how to use it.

There are such magical things in this world... Horus then loosened his fingers and sighed slightly.

After actually experiencing the sealed object, he felt that this world hid everything he didn't know. Before, he felt that there was no science to talk about this kind of thing.

But sighing was a sigh, and he still looked at the sealed object in front of him with a hint of disgust.

He didn't quite understand this practice of using certain body parts as a price in exchange for other things. It was like a so-called sacrifice, and he didn't even want it if it was given to him for free.

Just when he was silent, he heard footsteps outside the door.
