[Infinite] End Game

Tang Yu and Si Yan walked in front, and Mo Li and Qin Yue were not far from them.

Tang Yu stopped when he thought of something, waited for Qin Yue to come over, and asked, "Do you know what the funeral process is going to be?"

Tang Yu's impression of the handling of the remains was only cremation, the ashes were put into the urn and sent to the cemetery.

After the 'Day of Sleep', many brain-dead people appeared, and they didn't even have a cemetery, just simple cremation and sealing.

But even before that, the traditional burial method of burial was only reserved in very remote areas and some ethnic minorities.

Except that Qin Yue's hometown has such a tradition, the rest of the people's knowledge of burial is almost blank.

"...I haven't been back to my hometown for many years. I only saw a few funerals when I was young, so my memory may not be very accurate." Qin Yue searched in her memory and said: "In my hometown, people die. Afterwards, there are generally seven days of lingering. On the first day, the coffin is buried, the coffin is sealed on the third day, the chariots and horses are delivered on the fifth day, the cave is dug on the sixth day, the funeral is carried out on the seventh day, and the soul is returned at night, which is what people often call the "first seven days". .”

"But I don't think we can last until then." Molly added lightly from the side.If they can't clear the dungeon before the night of returning to the soul, they will all have to be left here.

Tang Yu thought for a while, then asked again: "When the coffin was sealed today, I seemed to hear your voice... Is there any problem?"

"...I don't know either." Qin Yue shook her head and said, "The customs and habits of different places are different, so I'm not sure... But, in my hometown, before the coffin is sealed, there is a 'consecration' .”

Tang Yu asked, "Consecration?"

Si Yan was also stunned: "Is it the consecration I thought?"

"No, I don't know much, but it is probably the close relatives of the deceased who opened the eyes, ears, nose, nose and heart of the deceased. Because sealing the coffin is the final conclusion, and the life and death of yin and yang are completely separated, so some people say that the purpose of consecrating the corpse is to prevent the deceased from being deaf. Blind, unable to find the way to bliss."

"However, there was no consecration ceremony when the coffin was sealed just now." Qin Yue's expression turned serious, she looked at Tang Yu and said word by word, "So I think this family probably wanted the deceased to lose all five senses." , You can’t say anything, you can’t be reborn!”

"How cruel!" Si Yan was also taken aback by the hostility hidden behind this incident, but combined with the current situation, it seemed that there was only one explanation.

In the afternoon, Huo Feng briefly explained some not-so-secret situations to the other players, and encouraged the players to voluntarily form groups and go to various houses in the village to inquire about information.They themselves followed Tang Yu and Si Yan, saying they were going to go outside the village together to retrace the direction the carriage had come from.

The path around the village leads to another mountain, which is still full of cedar trees.When Tang Yu and the others reached the foot of the mountain, the road was already very narrow, and the path in the woods was even more winding, covered by the shade of trees, making it look full of shadows.

They looked at each other, entered the cedar forest silently, and walked along the mountain road for more than half an hour before finally passing through the forest and reaching a flat place.

As soon as they walked out, they were taken aback. Although they had prepared themselves, the scene in front of them still made people feel chills.

The ground in front of them bulged up one after another, and tombstones of the same height were erected on these densely packed graves. The tombstones all stood facing them, as if they were countless dead bodies in a trance, and the darkness in the distance The woods are like the black maws of monsters.

There is no doubt that everyone in Xiangluo Village is surnamed Dong, and they come from one clan, and this is the ancestral grave of the Dong clan.

"... That carriage came from the cemetery." Si Yan said in a daze.

"These graves are new." Tang Yu inspected the ground and found that the soil was soft, because it had rained and there were no signs of being turned over, but only these graves had no grass growing on them. After a while, there were exactly nine seats, and there seemed to be exactly nine people sitting in the carriage before.

Si Yan walked over to look at the names on the tombstones. They were all surnamed Dong, male, and young, and the monuments were erected more than 20 days ago.

"Did they die on the same day?" Si Yan looked puzzled, and turned to look at the others, "Did something happen 20 days ago?" How could nine people die on the same day?

Huo Feng also walked over, and after staring at the tombstones for a while, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled: "You'll know when you open it."

Open the coffin.

Although disrespectful to the dead, this is the most direct way to obtain information. In the face of one's own life and death, fear and conscience can be ignored.

All agreed to the plan and went ahead with it.The six of them were divided into three groups and decided to dig three graves at the same time, just for comparison.

The soil was still soft after the rain, and the pickaxe I got from the last dungeon just came in handy.Tang Yu took a pickaxe to dig the soil away, and Si Yan used a shield-shaped prop to pack the soil out.The two groups of Dragon Blood also have a similar method. Although they are not holding professional tools, they are not slow.

Soon, without digging too deep, three identical black coffins were exposed.

The six people stood together again, and in front of them were three neatly arranged coffins. Looking at the mud on the coffin lids and the dull coffins, they all felt a little depressed, but...the planing was done.

"Let's start with us first." Huo Feng looked up at the sky covered by dark green branches, gritted his teeth and made up his mind.He winked at Lu Fan, then jumped into the grave, took out a dagger and spun it around the gap between the coffin lid and the coffin body to cut off the coffin nails.Tang Yu and Si Yan also walked over, and the four of them stood at the four corners of the coffin, and together they forcefully lifted the lid.

Molly flashed a flashlight, and took the opportunity to look inside. With just one glance, she couldn't help but turn her head and let out a retching sound.

However, she did not retreat, but signaled the four of them to lift the lid of the coffin to the side, fully revealing the scene inside the coffin.

"Damn it—" Si Yan looked at it immediately after putting down the coffin lid, and blurted out: "This fucking body has been hollowed out!!"

Tang Yu was also surprised. What was lying in the coffin was not a half-rotten body or a corpse-turned dumpling as they had imagined before, but an empty human skin.

The shroud was still worn on the human skin, but the face, hands, feet, and the whole body were all flat.However, the facial features of the human skin are still clearly visible, the thin eyes like cicada sloughs, the collapsed nose, the long mouth and the exposed teeth are all vivid on the flattened face - only the middle one The contents are missing.

Just like a doll that has its shell sewn but not filled with cotton, it is a human leather case.

Enduring his nausea, Huo Feng turned the dagger and picked the human skin with the handle, and found that the human skin was double-sided. Not only could the chest and back be separated, but the texture and hair of the skin remained unchanged, but he did not see anything. The wound, as if only the inside of the body melted out of thin air.

But without wounds, it is really hard to imagine how a good-looking person became like this.

"The real chest is attached to the back." Si Yan said.

The remaining two coffins were also opened by them. The insides were covered with human leather just like the first coffin. It is conceivable that the remaining coffins were probably the same.

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to say for a while, they just felt that Xianggong Village was even more confusing.

Staying here can't draw any effective conclusions, but it's almost dark.Everyone had to return to the yard before it was completely dark, so they took the time to cover the coffin back and roughly filled it with soil.

And just when the few people were about to leave the woods, Tang Yu's mind flashed, he turned around suddenly, walked around among the many graves, and finally found another grave at the edge of the cemetery.

The name of the deceased and the date of birth and death are written on the tombstone-this tomb was erected five years ago.
