After all, my luck has always been good.

This time, Lin Chengshi specially entered Shenen Continent two nights earlier than the update day.

Now that the method of depositing manuscripts has been discovered, it is of course better to deposit manuscripts earlier.As long as the manuscript is not published, he still has the opportunity to revise and start over.

After all, the reason why he let Wen Sen's plan go is precisely because of the blessing of "backtracking in time", and he is confident that he will not overturn.

Salem felt a light in front of his eyes in a haze.

He reached for the light, but grabbed a callused hand.

Lin Chengshi thought for a while, and called tentatively: "Meddy?"

Maddy was silent.

Maddy sulked.

Lin Chengshi felt that something was wrong, he ignored Salem's weak body, propped himself up and said, "Meddy, what's wrong?"

They are in a dark space, only some light sources not far away can vaguely illuminate their respective faces.

In the darkness, Shadow reappeared out of nowhere, with his arms folded around his chest, very speechless to Meddy's rare awkwardness:

"Before the person wakes up, tell me not to do anything, and when the person wakes up, I will not speak."

This is not how the heroine should behave when Seren wakes up.

Lin Chengshi immediately realized the deviation of the script.

Salem questioned Meddy wordlessly with soft eyes, but Meddy really retreated steadily.

"Siren is so smart, you must have known it a long time ago." Metty said sullenly, "You knew that Vincent was lying to me, but you didn't say anything."

Can Meddy realize it?

Salem's pupils contracted.

This was something he hadn't expected.

That's right, their current experience, if Lin Chengshi wants to avoid it, can be avoided completely.But not only did he not avoid it, he even deliberately guided it.

But what they experienced at this time was basically the same plot that Arthur and Meddy would have experienced in the past, and there was no trace of Siren's excessive intervention.And Maddy wasn't very smart...

wrong.Lin Chengshi realized his omission.

Salem is not the same as Arthur after all.Arthur couldn't see Vincent's conspiracy, but Salem must have.

Although Meddy is simple-minded, she has always trusted in Seren's mind, and she believes from the bottom of her heart that it is impossible for Seren not to see Vincent's plot.

The overturning turned out to be because Seren's IQ was raised too high before.

Lin Chengshi can't laugh or cry, this is the survival wisdom that a fool possesses.

The top priority is to coax Meddy well.

Salem used his sincerity and sparkling eyes nirvana: "I'm sorry, Maddy. I did guess that Vincent has a problem, but I see you had a good time, and I want you to leave some good memories... I am afraid that something will happen to you, and I have asked Ying to protect you."

Maddy turned to look at the movie.

Shadow nodded silently, helping Salem to admit the matter.

Although the protection that Salem was talking about at the time was not about this aspect...but in this case, unity is more important.

"Hmph... I haven't calmed down. But let's talk about these things!" Meddy also knew that the top priority was not to cause internal strife.

She got up and rolled up her sleeves: "Selen, look quickly, where are we? If there is no problem, I will smash the outer wall and get out of this damn place."

The plot finally got back on track, and Lin Chengshi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He pretended to look around, and sure enough, the first thing he saw was the only light source in the whole room.

It was the only desk in the room, on which were burning nine candles and nine cakes.

After Ying and Meddy woke up first, Ying, who was not afraid of the dark, had already explored the room. Except for this case, there was nothing in the room.

Salem picked up a piece of pie, broke it open, smelled it, and took a bite.

"Hey!" Meddy looked as if she wanted to pick the cake out of Seren's mouth, "Why do you still dare to eat food indiscriminately?"

Salem chewed it calmly: "It's okay, it's not poisonous. It's just quite unpalatable, and it doesn't taste like anything."

"Oh, that's right," Seren swallowed the mouthful of biscuits, "I know where we are. Meddy, put down your fists, you can't tear down the walls here."

Mei Di was not convinced: "I have great strength, how do you know I can't tear it apart?"

"Because this is not above the ground. If I guess correctly, we are now below the ground. If you break the wall, if you are lucky, there will be rammed earth outside. If you are unlucky...we will be buried alive."

"Under the ground?" Meddy exclaimed.

Salem fiddled with the white cake in his hand casually: "So that's how it is. I've figured it out completely."

"I'm very interested in the Nether Kingdom's custom of treating death as life, and I also want to know the specific meaning of their funeral ceremonies, so I have been reading related books in the library for the past few days."

"I discovered that this country actually has a tradition of "sacrificial burial". "

"Buried?"

This time, Ying answered Meddy: "The living are buried with the dead."

Meddy gasped: "This is too cruel."

"But in the Nether Kingdom, this is a normal tradition and not cruel." Salem said.

"Only the funerals of royal family members require the burial of living people. Even for the king, the number of burials is no more than three."

After Meddy and Ying digested this knowledge, Salem continued: "Believe me, the people here are happy to be buried. The Nether Kingdom opposes suicide. Even if a person who commits suicide is dead, he will be expelled from his citizenship. Only burial is the only way to die." A way to live happily in the afterlife without dying naturally."

"I still think that people should live a good life in reality..." Metty said.

"Vincent probably thought so too." Salem smiled, "The reason why we appear here is to become a substitute for the martyr. The person who was supposed to be buried is probably Vincent himself or someone important to him. , will make him take the risk and do such a thing.”

Salem raised the cake in his hand: "Nine candles, nine cakes, and three people, this is the typical king's burial specification in the Nether Kingdom. The plaques on our necks are probably the identification of the martyrs."

He picked up the sign that appeared around his neck at some point and shook it.

I am afraid that the person who arranged the burial only recognized this brand and would not think of re-verifying the identity of the deceased.

"Replaced with real funeral burials, they can survive starvation by relying on three cakes per person. But as the gas in the confined space is consumed, they will still die within a day."

Lin Chengshi lightly blew out a candle: "The real urging talisman is the air needed for the flame to burn." In Shenen Continent, there is probably a concept similar to that fire consumes qi, and people need to breathe qi to survive.

So there was no need for Serendo to explain, Meddy understood what he meant.

"Then let's extinguish the candles."

"Haha, don't worry." Lin Chengshi, who has file-reading skills, is right. "In the space with shadows, we don't lack food or light. As for air...we won't be short anytime soon."

Salem blew out the candle until there was only one left: "Meddy, we still need your fist. But not against the wall, but against the floor!"

"Come on! Just hit our feet!"

After all, in the tomb, even if the bottom is solid, it will not cause the tomb to collapse.

What's more, Lin Chengshi knows that there is another space below.

With a full blow, Meddy easily penetrated the floor.

Amidst the sound of bricks and stones collapsing, there was indeed another room underground, and they fell down unexpectedly.

Metty still had time to adjust her landing posture.

As for the shadow, who has ever seen a shadow get hurt by falling?

But Lin Chengshi would not admit that he managed to break Salem's arm after reading the file a dozen times.

This room was very bright compared to the darkness of the room they had been in just now.

The light source does not come from an open flame, but from luminous gemstones embedded in the walls.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Theron held a handful of candles in one hand and spread the other dramatically.

He sat cross-legged on a blanket woven with gold silk, "Let me introduce to you, the gentleman sitting under my buttocks."

He paused with a sense of ritual: "The great No.11 monarch of the Nether Kingdom, who died eight days ago, Louis III!"

Both Ying and Meddy turned into peas eyes: "Hey, does that mean you are stepping on someone else's coffin?"

As a member of the royal family, Ying still has some empathy for Louis III: "Isn't that disrespectful..."

Salem picked up the blanket that was originally used to cover the coffin, and wrapped it around himself:

"Our current experience is ultimately thanks to him. If there is no such absurd tradition of their royal family, we don't have to be in the same room with this dead man."

"As a price, even if he dies, I want him to pay back the full amount. I think the kingship of the Nether Kingdom can probably dispel my anger!"

Salem took out a crown from nowhere and put it on his head.Not to mention, relying on his excellent appearance, he really has the aura of a king.

"Okay, okay, stop playing! You can do whatever you want when you get out, and I will help you! The most urgent thing is to go out first." Meddy poked Seren speechlessly.

"That's what you said." Salem threw the crown on his head casually. "It's just a toy. When I go out, I want to ask the royal family for the real thing."

"Can we really go out?" Ying poured cold water on the side.

"Of course." Salem no longer performed that exaggerated performance, her long eyelashes drooped, and that overly delicate face always brought a full sense of trust to Meddy.

"In fact, this is not a secret in the Nether Kingdom. Everyone knows that if the martyrs can walk out of the grave of the dead, then they are regarded as the dead themselves."

"The dead man himself?" Shadow repeated.

"To put it simply, if we can get out from here... everything about the dead Louis III will belong to us. Including his throne, palace, property, and even all his kinship, it belongs to us according to the law of the Nether Kingdom all."

Meddy was shocked: "How is this possible."

Salem said: "Yes, after all, it is the throne of a country. I have not seen any record of anyone surviving from the king's tomb. However, for us, whether it is a blessing or a curse after going out, we have only one way out from here. There is a way to go."

"After all, no one wants to test whether the belief in the Nether Kingdom is true, right?"

Meddy and Ying shook their heads.

"According to tradition, the craftsmen who built the tomb must leave a way of life for the martyrs." Salem's voice was extremely gentle, "As long as there is a chance of life, I will definitely catch it."

"After all, my luck has always been good."
