Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
After arriving at the south bank of River of Tasok by steam subway, Klein hired rented carriage to go to Aston Cemetery on the outskirts of southern district, which is under the management of God of Steam and Mechanics church.
In the dusk of the evening, the trees around the cemetery spread their teeth and dance their claws, covering the light, like a monster hiding in night.
After receiving the 4shilling fee paid by Klein, the driver looked at the cemetery and mumbled and asked:
"Do you need to wait for you here?"
"No, I don't need it. I came to visit a friend." Klein casually broke the ground and immediately noticed that the driver's face suddenly changed.
This is the cemetery ... to visit a friend ... it's getting dark ... the driver heard the sound of his heart plop plop beating.
Klein just recovered, and added a sentence with a smile:
"He is the gravekeeper here."
The coachman suddenly went to relaxed, but he dared not stop anymore, he drove the horses away quickly, and left quickly.
Klein made a large circle around the cemetery until the night really came.
After dark, the emission of soot has decreased a lot, and with the cold wind, the mist in the air is thinner. Although a few stars are still not visible, the crimson moon has vaguely revealed. Cover the ground with a gauze-like brilliance.
Klein tapped four times clockwise on the chest, drawn scarlet moon, then put on gloves, and overturned the iron fence with one push and entered the cemetery.
He looked around alertly, randomly found a secluded corner, took out Ards copper whistle, and held it in his palm.
Not far away in front of him, there is a tombstone, the photo above is dirty, and the epitaph is also very vague under the moonlight. Klein carefully recognized for a few seconds before I figured out what was written:
"Friends passing by, please pull me a hand, thank you!"
A very humorous gentleman ... just you! Klein stopped and leaned back against the nearby trees that blocked sunlight and rain from the tomb, waiting patiently in the cold and cold night.
He tossed high Ards copper whistle, and then held it steadily, tossed high again, and held it again, just passing the time until twenty minutes later.
There is no sign of corpse change ... Klein pā tà gathers the pocket watch, looks around, and confirms the result.
"Come here again in two days to see if there are any additional changes. If it does not, it means that the copper whistle of Mister Ards cannot affect the body of the soul calming ceremony who received the priests priest." Klein said silently to the old The exquisite copper whistle came back to the pocket.
In Ruen Kingdom, burials are generally divided into three types. The first type is a coffin with a corpse, suitable for the upper middle class with a more affluent life. The second type has no corpse and is directly cremated. It is buried in an ashes box. Fees but feel that the coffin is too wasteful for the choice of the lower middle class and skilled workers, but sometimes there are religious and government factors, such as Eternal Blazing Sun believers, most of the cremation, such as the poor who receive government help, all cremation, only a small amount cost.
The third type belongs only to the poor, who ca n’t afford the coffin and do n’t want to be cremated, so they just wrap something and bury it.
And Klein has just judged from the shape of tombstones and tombs that the object of his experiment is the one with coffins and corpses.
If the Ards copper whistle can really make the other party corpse change, even if the target may decay into bones, it will not react unresponsively. Even if you ca n’t lift the coffin cover with thick soil and slate, at least you can make a dull sound.
Taking steps and walking towards the fence, Klein suddenly thought of a place in the experiment that was not rigorous:
"Well, it must be classified. This is a body that has been buried for a long time, and I have to find a target that has just been buried."
"The only way to make the most accurate judgment."
After that, Klein and the tomb keeper seized the secret and found a tomb where the burial ceremony was completed during the day.
This time, he waited for half an hour and still found no anomalies.
"Hoo, you can basically judge that copper whistle of Mister Ards cannot affect the body of soul calming ceremony, which is a little weak, no, no, this copper whistle itself is not used to create corpse changes, its role is to summon messengers and affect the body. It is a negative effect! "Klein tightened the double-breasted long dress and walked towards the iron fence.
He intends to go home and change clothes for a second set of experiments.
The second group ’s goal is to have not received soul calming ceremony and died not long after.
Such goals often exist in hospital morgues!
Come out of the fence, Klein returns to the southern district step by step in the bleak and deep night. The surroundings are quiet and peaceful. Only the evergreen trees are covered with dust and sway gently.
This reminded him of the night he died and was resurrected, also from the cemetery to the city.
Hey ... Klein sighed and suddenly started running, seeming to want to throw away the melancholy far away.
After half an hour, he hired rented carriage in southern district, the destination is the nearest steam subway station.
It will take almost an hour for the steam subway to stop, which will save him a lot of money.
…………
In the early morning, Klein changed into a gray-blue worker uniform and wore a peaked cap, and came to the Saint Estin hospital in the Beckland bridge district field.
This is a God of Steam and Mechanics church's charity hospital.
Many poor people of bottom level died here due to illness and nowhere to put their bodies in their homes. They had to be deposited in the morgue of the hospital, waiting for the government to cremate or donate to the medical school. This phenomenon is especially common in the summer and cools down. After the autumn and winter is not much.
However, in the era without air-conditioning and low-temperature devices, the morgue of the hospital will not let the corpses stay for too long. If you are willing to donate, you should quickly carry out antiseptic treatment. It is the rules of summer, and it will be relatively loose in autumn and winter. Therefore, during this time, there are still many corpses in the morgue every night.
The morgue of the Saint Estin hospital is on the basement level. Even in summer, it is quite cool, and it is cold and bitter in autumn and winter.
Klein based on the knowledge learned in the Night Watcher team, relying on the flexibility and balance of Clown, sneaked in, avoiding the doctors and nurses on duty, and entered the basement.
Before he was near the morgue, he felt chilly and gloomy nearby.
Flashing quickly through Gatekeeper ’s room, Klein took out a wire and gently opened the lock of the morgue.
This is one of the tricks to sneak in and track!
He slowly and silently pushed the door of the morgue with right palm wearing black gloves. At the same time, he spread out spirituality and wrapped Ards copper whistle, wanting to confirm whether this method can eliminate the negative effects.
The temperature in the morgue seems to be even lower than in the corridor. Most of the dead here are packed in corpse bags and placed in different iron cabinets around. Waiting for inspection.
As Clown of Sequence Eight, Klein has little fear of this kind of scene, but just feels instinctively uncomfortable.
He remained cautious and closed the door carefully, turning around the long tables around and around.
After more than ten minutes, Klein exhaled, confirming that the body had not changed.
It's almost ... He took out his gold-shell pocket watch and pressed it to take a look.
After preparing, Klein withdraws spirituality and no longer wraps Ards copper whistle with it.
I do n’t know if it ’s a psychological effect, and inexplicably he feels that the surroundings have become quieter.
As a Divinator, he fully believed in consciousness, stopped walking back and forth, and stepped back to near the gate.
The time passed by one minute and one second, Klein thought it was about two minutes.
At this moment, a body on the long table suddenly sat up!
Boom! boom! boom!
Dense rapping sounds were heard in the iron cabinets around, and there seemed to be something to hatch!
Boom! boom! boom! Klein listened to such a movement, a body that looks at sat up, suddenly lowered his mouth:
"Crimson!"
Next, he poured spirituality into "soul calming talisman" and threw it out.
The ice blue flame burned quietly, the calm and soft black diffused, the corpse lay down again, and the rattling sound from the iron cabinet came to an abrupt end.
The Klein, which has experienced similar scenes, did not relax, and once again used a "soul calming talisman".
Due to the large number of bodies here, he used a third one for insurance purposes, and used up his inventory.
"Yes ... it really only affects corpses that have not received soul calming ceremony and did not last long. Living Corpse is also included. Covering with spirituality can block this effect." Klein thought with a smile on his face.
He saw no abnormal reaction from the body and was ready to leave by sliding the door.
At this time, he suddenly heard footsteps from outside and saw a faint light penetrate into it.
The old man at the gate was attracted by the rattling sound in the morgue, holding the horse lantern and approaching!
Klein looks around, presses the door by hand, jumps and climbs flexibly, and stays at the space between the door and the ceiling.
Holding his fingers on the bumps and gaps, he maintained a very good balance.
Squeak!
The janitor opened the door with the key and entered the morgue.
He took a few steps forward, raised the lamp, examined the iron cabinet and the long table, and examined the corpse.
And behind him, Klein jumped lightly and fell silent.
Seizing the opportunity, Klein quickly escaped from the morgue, first escaped with the help of the small room of Gatekeeper for a few seconds, and then carefully returned to the upper level.
The old janitor checked it again and found nothing unusual. He murmured with a little fear of the body and left quickly, locking the door and not staying any longer.
Going back to the guard room, he put on a thin quilt, and it took several minutes to calm down his rapid heartbeat. He ridiculed himself with two sentences:
"The old guys always told me about the anomalies that occurred in the morgue, and wanted to scare me. The strange sound just now should have been counted, and it did n’t matter. Those corpses did n’t come to life!"
"Bah, how can there be Living Corpse and Resentful Soul!"
At the same time, Klein is walking comfortably on quiet and deep streets, happy to solve a hidden danger.
He looked at the elegant gas street lights on both sides, and looked forward to the Extraordinary party afterwards
As long as he can get a weapon with special effects, he can get one of the main materials of Magician!
Well ... Although I do n’t have much money at the moment, I still have a lot of assets that can be exchanged, such as formula of Heart Reader magical medicine, such as formula of "Eulogizer" and "Light Worshiper", and my digestion progress of Clown magical medicine, because of the continuous The incident and the comprehension of the essence of the role are much faster than expected, and are almost completed ... On the streets of Beckland in the night, Klein diffuses his thoughts without bounds.
