Start Cthulhu with priest

An Le turned her head to look in the direction of the sound.

As far as I could see, I couldn't see any figure, only a few tombstones not far away, watching him silently.

An ethereal voice echoed: "Hehe... this newcomer, it seems that he hasn't figured out the situation yet."

"Pretending to be a ghost?"

An Le's pupils are black and white, as if there are living creatures running through them.

This is the sign of [Yin Yang Ghost Eye] activation.

If this gift is not disguised, it will spontaneously emit an indescribably strange aura, eerie and cold.

A normal living creature would feel uncomfortable about this.

When looking at him, there is even a feeling that the soul is being sucked away.

Moreover, this cold fluctuation will also attract the attention of certain beings.

【When you saw them, they... also saw you! 】

So in normal times, Anle often has to restrain the abnormality of the pair of eyes, and avoid seeing things that shouldn't be seen.

And at this time, the moment the ghost eye was activated.

An Le saw that the world had darkened.

This change in light is definitely not caused by the weather, but because of...

Countless obscure phantoms are wandering aimlessly and silently beside An Le.

Low-pitched murmurs and unknown chants sounded along with their appearance, slipping into An Le's ears slipperyly.

Some phantoms resemble human figures, while others are indistinguishable, like four-legged monsters and distorted trees.

Not only the ground, but also the existence of phantoms can be seen in the unsupported midair.

They are so dark and old, as if from a time when no stars were born.

As long as mortals see the phantom, they will feel the chill from the blood, as if their souls are frozen.

'These... are all ghosts? '

An Le was slightly startled: 'Or, undead? '

'How many people died here? '

But think about it, "Journey to the Wilderness" was written in the year 203 of the new calendar, and this year is the year 293 of the new calendar.

This period of time alone spanned nearly a hundred years.

Not to mention, this cemetery probably existed in a longer period.

Compared to this, An Le did not forget his original goal.

Under the guidance of the vague black and white atmosphere, An Le was able to glimpse the source of the abnormal sound, which came from——

underground!

More precisely, under a tombstone?

An Le went straight to the tombstone.

The owner of that voice did not expect such an accident at all, and couldn't help being a little surprised: "You...you can find me?"

"No, those eyes of yours..."

"Shut up, shut up!"

Suddenly, the voice became surprised and frightened.

The tomb suddenly raised a lump of earth.

A strong man jumped out of it, and hurriedly stretched out his hand, trying to cover An Le's eyes.

In fact, An Le felt a needle-like pain in his mind before the strong man spoke to remind him, which was a harbinger of danger.

He closed his eyes.

But I can still feel that something extremely dangerous is approaching.

Or... casting its gaze?

'in the sky? '

In an instant, an indescribable breath descended on An Le's side.

Like the evil that walks in the world, the madness that transcends all things.

Such an existence, as long as ordinary people imagine it, they will feel extremely strong fear.

The strong man who jumped out of the tomb closed his eyes tightly and lay on the ground, daring not to move like an ostrich.

He'd gone insane from witnessing that existence too many times before he wanted to be the next.

However, after An Le's initial surprise, there was a kind of contempt and anger that came from nowhere.

This line of sight seemed to be scanning An Le, looking for the abnormal thing just now.

An Le thought to herself: 'It's up to you? '

He opened his eyes again and looked up at the sky.

grey.

The entire sky is gray, showing an indescribable texture.

It is both diffuse like mist, and it seems to be... clear and clear like glass.

These should be two completely different characteristics, but they are so harmoniously combined at this moment.

An Le realized that the sky was a whole.

In other words, the sky here is an undead.

With its mysterious and ancient power, it shaped such a secret place, trapping countless undead here, during which some unlucky people like An Le strayed into it.

However, in the long years that the undead have experienced, they have never encountered such a situation——

When I cast my gaze, a small human being did not shrink, tremble, hide or scream madly like his kind, and fell into a state of madness, but just looked at it calmly and indifferently.

Even... seems to have a mocking smile?

The undead were amazed by this.

The degree of surprise is like when a young child pours a pot of boiling water into a nest of ants, and sees an ant not only not being scalded to death by the boiling water, but also not running away, but staring at him silently.

Some ridiculous, some ridiculous.

The undead continued to stare at each other.

In its impression, as long as it needs to do this, human beings will gradually be unable to withstand the infection of the breath, and thus collapse.

Only this time, something seems different?

Even though the deep, nightmarish gaze was intensifying, the strong man beside An Le was speechless just feeling the aftermath, and his healthy mind was rapidly being polluted.

Ke Anle's expression didn't seem to be affected in any way.

On the contrary, the smile on the lips became more obvious.

[Filthy sanity +3! 】

[Filth Sanity +5!]

[Filthy sanity +2! 】

【…】

The reminders that flashed from time to time made it hard for An Le not to smile.

However, it also proves from the side that the origin of this undead is unusual.

At least in An Le's experience, there are only a handful of guys who can bring him such a strong sense of oppression.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

The silence that seemed to have been stagnant for this period of time finally returned to normal.

It may be that the undead is no longer interested in peace, or it may have other things to do, so it gradually looks away.

The air began to flow again.

"Huha... Huh..."

The unknown burly man was panting heavily, and his body was covered in cold sweat, as if he had just been fished out of the water.

"Okay, it's dangerous."

For him, the experience just now was like walking through the gate of hell.

'That newcomer, probably already cold? '

Uesugi Koji thought to himself, but didn't have much emotion.

In this place, there should not be too many newcomers who die casually because they are ignorant.

"I don't know if he has a space extraordinary relic on him..."

Uesugi Koji was about to search, when he got up from the ground, he saw a handsome face, looking at him with interest.

'Hiss...how is this possible? '

The brawny man was surprised, just now, that existent gaze definitely fell on the other party.

But now, not only was he unscathed, but... he got rid of the influence earlier than himself?

I've checked my eyes, I can't afford to offend someone!

Uesugi Koji immediately changed his tone: "This gentleman, my humble Uesugi Koji, I don't know what you...how do you call me?"

He was able to get to where he is today, all because of this ability to adapt to the wind.

"You can call me...A."

An Le replied gently, acting harmless to humans and animals.

Since walking in the wilderness, it is undoubtedly not wise to reveal the real name at will.

Extraordinary abilities that can be effective with the help of a real name are no longer rare.

Koji Uesugi knew that this was the other party's code name, so he couldn't help being curious: 'A? '

He didn't dare to think about it, and took the initiative to say: "You are new here, you must not be familiar with this secret place, I can give you a general explanation of the situation here."

Anle is everything.

*****

According to Koji Uesugi.

This secret place is called "Silent Cemetery" by them.

In the silent cemetery, apart from the inability to find the boundary and the inability to destroy the tombstone recorded in the book, there are many rules that must be followed.

For example, if the living creatures in it want to survive, they must dig a grave every day, and then bury one thing on their body in it.

This is what Uesugi Koji first explained.

Pay special attention to.

An Le was surprised: "One thing? Anything is fine?"

If it's just like this, wouldn't it be enough to pull out one hair every day?

Uesugi Koji smiled wryly and said, "To be precise, it's 'one kind', for example, if you bury a hair, you can't use 'hair strands' next time."

"However, this 'one kind' is sometimes broad. The thumb and index finger belong to different things."

"There is a certain randomness, as if... the mood of watching something?"

An Le nodded, expressing her understanding.

This is like a subjective question on the test paper. Although there are reference answers as the basis for scoring, different examiners give different scores, and there are fluctuations in the range, which is normal.

But what really surprised An Le was the rule itself.

It's like some boring god, just for fun, set up random rules.

And those who live in it have to abide by it.

"Also, at night, you'd better hide in the grave you dug during the day."

Uesugi Koji continued, with an expression of reluctance to recall: "Otherwise, you will be punished worse than death."

An Le asked back, "Just like you did just now?"

Uesugi Koji scratched his head, and smiled: "The main reason is that I have nothing to do during the day, so I might as well sleep for a while."

He suddenly said mysteriously: "Don't tell me, living in the tomb is quite comfortable."

"Not only is it warm, but it also fills your stomach!"

An Le frowned.

Let’s not mention the heat preservation effect for the time being. After all, you have no right to speak without trying it yourself.

But living in the tomb can fill the stomach... This kind of statement is quite weird.

Is it possible that this tomb is still a nutrition warehouse, which can recharge people?

"I know you don't believe it, but it's true!"

Uesugi Koji said seriously: "I didn't believe it at first, but after listening to their words and trying it myself, I can't do without it anymore."

He lowered his head and looked at the tomb he had just lived in with nostalgia, like a child yearning for his mother's embrace.

An Le just nodded, neither believing nor disbelief.

An Le always remained skeptical of what Uesugi Koji said.

After all, it was only the first time the two of them met, and it would be strange if there was unreserved trust.

An Le just regards his words as an information channel, which can be mutually confirmed with the content of "Journey to the Wasteland".

The latter is even more reliable.

And there is another point, in An Le's intuition, it seems that there is always some kind of malice lurking in those underground tombs?

An Le asked again: "They?"

"How many people are there in this secret place?"

Uesugi Koji replied: "I don't know the exact number of people, because there are quite a few people who only stay near their own cemetery, but...there should be some less than a hundred people."

"Every day new people come and people die."

"The total is largely unchanged."

An Le was slightly speechless.

He originally thought that there should not be many people here, but now he heard that there seemed to be a lot of survivors?

But thinking about it, judging from the two rules mentioned by Koji Uesugi, the danger level of this secret place is not too high. If you don't consider escaping from here, you can indeed survive for a long time.

Under the leadership of Uesugi Koji, the two moved towards the densely populated place he said.

On the way, An Le suddenly asked.

"Are the so-called newcomers the property that you guys have divided up?"

Uesugi Koji suddenly stopped, sweating uncontrollably, almost kneeling in front of An Le.

"Mr. A, I can swear to you on my soul, I have absolutely no such thoughts."

An Le smiled slightly, but her tone was very relaxed.

"Don't be so nervous, I won't eat you again."

"It's just a guess, not necessarily true."

"But judging by your performance... this kind of thing really exists, right?"

The reason is very simple, even a transcendent with a space transcendent relic, there are many things that can be buried.

But no matter how many items there are, as long as you can't leave the "Silent Cemetery", there will be a day when you run out.

And the easiest source of obtaining new items is undoubtedly the unlucky ones who strayed into this place.

The example Uesugi gave with his "index finger" and "thumb" further confirmed Anle's conjecture.

That's probably the relic of the dead newcomer.

Uesugi Koji smiled wryly, this newcomer looks young, but he is not easy to fool at all.

But he explained again: "I have never done anything to the newcomers, only their corpses."

"Your worry is not unreasonable, but most extraordinary people will not take the initiative to kill newcomers, at most they will give wrong information."

"Only a small number of lunatics hunt and kill the remaining survivors in the silent cemetery."

An Le's expression remained unchanged, but he had a high opinion of this strong man from the bottom of his heart.

Although a little panicked, he quickly settled down and was willing to swear with his soul to prove the truth of his words.

Then, An Le simply asked Uesugi Koji to swear with his soul.

To Anle's surprise, the phrase "you can fill your stomach in the grave" was also judged to be true.

This shows that, at least, in Uesugi Koji's view, the information he confided is true.

That's where it gets interesting.

An Le knew that he must have concealed something, but overall, he was fairly honest.

To be on the safe side, An Le still quietly stretched her tentacles into Uesugi Koji's body.

Chapter 168 will take about 2 days to be released (a conservative estimate, if you still fail the review, you will have to wait another two days.)

Alas, I'm in a bad mood, and I wanted to make an update.
