Chapter 1713 The Hunt for the Shadow Nine
Ten minutes later.
Woooooooooooooooooooooooo cold! Mutter changed into clean clothes after the shower, shivering and complaining.
Cold? But your face looks pretty red. I don't know if it's nerve-wracking or intentional, Albert said.
The cat boy grinned at the tiger, but said nothing. Bathing in a small tub with Albert was a very bad experience.
Is it ok to replace it like this?
Mutter picked up the ceremonial suit and was about to put it on, but was stopped by the tiger: No, don't wear that, that's for Luffy's burial.
Albert didn't know which suitcase to get another outfit from: Put on your casual clothes first and get moving.
Mutter looked at the so-called casual suit. It's long-sleeved trousers with a bit of a snug fit, and the whole outfit is a non-reflective solid black. The cat-man boy watched the tiger put on the same set of clothes, and now Albert was completely black except for one tiger's head, which was white, and was almost invisible under the night.
This is not a casual dress at all, but a nightwear, right? Mutter ruthlessly exposes Albert's tricks.
Ahahahahaha just for convenience. Tiger smiled perfunctorily for a while. The action he was talking about, of course, was referring to stealing Luffy's body from under the eyes of the Panthers.
However, this pure black night clothes does not look particularly suspicious. Because Albert and the others originally came to Luffy's funeral, wearing black clothes can be said to be in mourning for the deceased.
Then meow, the tiger has already dressed and even put a black hood on his forehead: let's go?
Wait until Mutter put on his trousers, the size of the clothes was a bit difficult for him to put on, and he kept complaining: Where did you get these clothes? Don't you know the size of my clothes?
I know you're wearing the same size as Ruf. Tiger grinned: That's why I specially made clothes one size smaller for you to wear. It's better for you to wear tight clothes, after all, you are clumsy and easy to get in my way.
Ow! The cat boy growled in a low voice to express his dissatisfaction with the tiger. Then he finally put the shirt on his body. As expected, the clothes were just a size too small, and they were like tight night clothes on Mutter's body. However, the fabric of the clothes is quite elastic, and after absorbing the body temperature of the cat boy, it begins to relax a little, and it does not hinder Mutter's movements.
Meow this way. Albert went out and immediately followed the instructions of the staff member to find his way. His goal was to find the city hall's cellar, where Mutter's body was supposed to be stored in a coffin.
Wait for me! Mutter closed the door behind him and followed behind Albert. It was getting dark, and the lighting in the backyard of the city hall was not enough, giving it a gloomy feeling. The cat boy didn't want to get lost in such a place by himself.
Why did they make it so gloomy? Why did they put the body of the dead in the cellar of the city hall? Mutter muttered as he pulled Albert's shirt from behind.
Because the cellar is relatively cool, it is suitable for freezing the remains of the deceased. Albert said. He remembered that he had fought with the current patriarch Argus and deputy chief Bagus of the Leopard Clan before. The Leopard Clan had several powerful magic weapons in their hands, and one of them could immediately release the freezing air when swung. It would be extremely simple to freeze a corpse with that weapon.
We are here to pay homage to the remains of the deceased. Before taking a few steps, he reached the door to the cellar, Albert said to the Leopard guard guarding the door.
Okay, let's go in. The guards let it go without even being suspicious. After all, only the body of the deceased was in the cellar, and nothing of value was placed in it. Except for those who wanted to pay their respects to the body of the deceased, they could not imagine that no one else would have a reason to come.
Of course they never imagined that Albert came here to inspect the crime scene in advance, so that he could steal Luffy's body in the dead of night.
Hammut just entered the cellar, and before he walked down the long wooden stairs to the depths of the ground, he breathed a sigh of air. The cat boy, who had just taken a shower and his hair was still a little damp, felt even colder in such a cold place.
Be patient, it will be over soon. Albert said that he carefully observed the surrounding environment as he walked, thinking carefully about each specific step when he committed a crime and stole the body late at night.
First, it was extremely difficult for him to drag the heavy coffin up the stairs from the depths of the cellar. So he has to give up the coffin and come out with Luffy's body directly?
No, it may be impractical to do so. Rufu's body may have been frozen, and it is almost integrated with the coffin in the frozen state, and it is not so easy to remove the body from the coffin. Even if it can be taken out, it is estimated to be a huge block of ice, and its weight is no less than that of a coffin.
So Albert really needs some vehicles to help move the body, and as much as possible to transport the body along with the coffin, out of respect for the deceased. Fortunately, the access to the underground from the cellar is wide and the stairs are sturdy, allowing larger vehicles to enter and exit easily.
However, the question arises: Is it really possible to let such a large vehicle enter and exit the cellar without attracting attention at all?
Wow! The stairs are not very long, and Albert and Mutter walked about a hundred steps along the stairs to reach the cellar. As soon as he arrived in the cellar, the young catman exclaimed in amazement. The cellar was like a crystalline cave, covered with ice and frost like moss covering the walls. Only the wooden boards on the ground seem to have been treated with anti-freezing and anti-skid, and have not frozen. In fact, this large cellar is not only storing the remains, but also storing some utensils and items that are easily damaged by high temperature, such as some grain seeds. Of course, the number of seeds is relatively small, and they are placed in high closets that are not easy to reach. Few people will spend a lot of time climbing up and stealing them.
Albert also took a look in the cellar. There are three coffins on a specially treated platform in the cellar, and one of them should contain the remains of the cat-man boy Luf.
The tiger swallowed a mouthful of saliva and walked over tremblingly.
When he saw it, the first coffin was a Leopard woman. The red iron wood coffin is covered with an extremely gorgeous transparent window, so that family members can look at the dead body at least half of the body without opening the coffin lid. Judging from the gorgeous clothes and many finely carved wooden dolls, she was probably not a hunter of monsters, but a local famous person of the Glick tribe. The remains are stored here for incineration and funeral. Her relatives carved countless exquisite handicrafts for her, expressing the grief of the leopard people for the deceased family members.
The tiger stepped back and looked at another coffin.
Lying quietly under the transparent glass coffin lid is a tiger man. This is a soldier with countless scars on his body. The new wounds overlap with the old ones, and it is almost impossible to distinguish the old from the new. This should be a monster hunter. After several years of fierce battles with monsters, he finally rests in peace.
Albert breathed a sigh of relief, bowed slightly to show respect for the hunter, and backed away.
There is one last coffin left. The one lying in it can only be Albert's former good partner, the cat boy Luf. Despite extreme reluctance, despite more than one hope that it was an empty coffin, Ruff was not lying in it at all, not even dead. But when Albert leaned over and saw the cat boy lying peacefully in the coffin, he still looked very excited.
The expression of the child who was always asleep remains the same as when Albert buried him. It was on the tundra of Western Siberia at that time, in a world of ice and snow, and Albert didn't even prepare any funeral objects for Luffy, so he buried the cat boy in the tundra. I really don't know how capable the World of Warcraft Hunters Organization is. They found Luf's tomb in a deserted tundra and brought his body here.
Anyway, Luffy appeared here again, in front of Albert's eyes, as serene as ever, as silent as ever.
Frost breath crawled all over the inside of the coffin, leaving some ice residue on Luffy's kitten's beard, and even a little tear-like ice crystals appeared on the corner of Luffy's eyes. Luffy looked like he was having a peaceful but sad dream, in which he couldn't help shedding tears. Looking at the dead face of the cat-man boy, Luf's cry before his death reappeared in Albert's mind: It's so cold, it hurts! ...mom...where is mom
And then Albert's whole tiger collapsed~IndoMTL.com~ He was paralyzed and sat on the ground.
Albert? Seeing that Albert's state was not right, Mutter came over and asked: Are you alright?
I'm fine, the good tiger hummed, Mutter, look at Luf one more time. After this we will take his body back to Myerson Stone for burial, and we may be the last two people in the world to remember his remains.
Mutter didn't want to see it. After all, the Luffy in the coffin looked similar to him. Mutter looked at the dead person in the coffin, just like looking at himself in the mirror. Looking at a corpse that is very similar to himself makes people feel as if they have seen their own corpse. That feeling is really not a good feeling. However, when Mutter saw Albert begging him in such a reluctant manner, he moved with sympathy. The cat boy still squinted at the other cat boy in the coffin.
Sure enough, looking at a corpse that looked almost identical to himself, as if looking at his dead self, made Mutt feel very uncomfortable. The cat boy turned his face away in disgust.
Okay, it seems that some idea has been made, Albert propped up and got up: Let's start. Luffy's body is to be removed from here.
