The black coffin was left in the open air without a tombstone. I don’t know where the coffin lid went, directly exposing the bones inside the coffin.
This skeleton is very small, with a small skull, a small frame, and even its limbs are very short. Angel's visual inspection estimated that it was only one meter two to three meters long.
——Obviously this is the remains of a child.
Angel's eyes moved away from the regret and placed them on a shining spot near the neck bone.
The reason why he noticed the coffin was because when lightning passed overhead, a reflective spot appeared inside the coffin.
Angel took out the reflective object. It was a necklace, a platinum chain, and the pendant was a heart-shaped red gemstone. The gemstone was crystal clear, and was cut into sixteen sides by the jewelry craftsman.
Flashing white light, the smooth rhombus surface reflects the bright brilliance.
Angel rubbed the gem and touched a mechanism on the edge of the gem. Hearing a "click", a small hidden compartment was opened.
"It's true." Angel just discovered that the gemstone has been polished on sixteen sides. Relying on the reflection of the diamond surface, it is difficult to detect the true depth of the gemstone. It seems that the gemstones are fully inlaid, but in fact the gemstones are only thin.
The thin layer creates this illusion because the eyes are deceived by light and shadow.
Hiding things with personal accessories is something that most nobles like to do. Of course, because the accessories are too small, the things hidden are not too precious, but what the boring nobles pursue is not preciousness, it is just a gimmick and surprise, or in other words
, it can be a small source of conversation at aristocratic gatherings.
Angel also inherited this problem, for example, his holographic tablet was hidden in the secret compartment of his pocket watch.
It is precisely because Angel knows these eyebrow corners that he can quickly open the mechanism of this gem.
When the secret compartment was opened, a piece of damaged silk floated out.
The silk was very thin, but the stitches were densely packed and very regular. Just this damaged silk was not something that ordinary people could come into contact with.
Perhaps, this child's corpse should once have been a nobleman.
Angel opened the silk. The silk was not big, just enough for one palm. On the silk was a picture of a curly-haired girl who smiled happily. Her nose was a bit flat and her face was covered with freckles. She didn't look very pretty.
, but her smile was very bright and cute. To her left was a boy, holding her shoulders, but the boy's face was damaged and his appearance could not be seen clearly. Her right hand was raised high, with a pattern like an eye.
A bird with peacock feathers was spreading its wings and fluttering on the back of her hand.
At the bottom of the silk, there is a row of small characters.
However, the writing was very sloppy and ugly, like a child's graffiti. It took Angel a lot of effort and several lightning strikes before he could barely make out a few words.
"...for my sister's ninth birthday,...a gift..."
It seems that the little girl's brother or sister gave it to her as a gift when she was nine years old. If the person who drew the picture on the silk is the giver, it was probably the young man who couldn't see his face clearly.
Angel stuffed the silk back into the secret compartment of the necklace and put it back beside the corpse in the coffin. If nothing unexpected happened, the child's corpse was that of the little girl in the painting. She looked like a noble lady, but for some unknown reason
He will die in the cemetery of the inner world.
Angel didn't care much as he didn't get any information from the coffin. He didn't have much expectations at first.
After bypassing the coffin, Angel slowed down and walked slowly towards the previous pit. If he wanted to take a shortcut to the cemetery gate, he had to bypass this pit.
This time, when he walked to the edge of the pit, he didn't cause any noise.
Walking around the big pit, Angel felt more and more uncomfortable as he walked. It was not due to any strange force, but because of the light of lightning, he could clearly see the situation inside the pit...
Old bones, rotting corpses, and fresh corpses are all entangled together.
Leaving aside the skeletons for the moment, those corpses that have not yet rotted or are half-rotten give people a strong impact on the eyeballs. The pale skin, the resentful and soulless expression, and the stiff movements before death, you pester me, I pester you
Looking at you is like a dark and bloody floating world painting of corpses in various forms.
In particular, these corpses are all naked female corpses. This adds a sexual hint to this floating world painting, making it even more gloomy and perverted.
It can be seen from the degree of decomposition of these corpses that they died at different times. Some may have died recently, while others may have been dead for a long time.
Their bodies were very clean, except for a dark red wound on their chest. Angel estimated that this was the fatal wound on these women.
This place is very close to Castle Black, and the murderers were probably people from Castle Black.
But why did they kill these women? Kill so many of them?
And it can spawn so many undead, which shows that they may have suffered extreme pain before death. Otherwise, how could it be possible for the undead to form a group with so much resentment?
Angel raised his head and looked at the towering castle at the end of the long winding road in the distance. At this moment, a faint dislike for Castle Black arose in his heart.
Not long ago, he met the current owner of Castle Black, Queen Shen Mu Isabella. After she saw him, she was smiling one second, and then she let Shadow kill him without saying a word.
For a person with such a crooked upper beam, it is reasonable for the lower beam to torture and kill women. What's more, it might be directly the "upper beam" who tortured and killed women.
That lunatic Isabella is capable of such a thing.
Angel bypassed the big pit and walked smoothly to the gate of the cemetery.
The gate of the cemetery was open, and Angel unexpectedly saw a row of footprints on the ground at the door.
Judging from the printed patterns, they are very similar to the leather boots worn by Shadow. Maybe Shadow also left here not long ago?
While Angel was thinking, he suddenly felt his chest pocket suddenly move.
The breast pocket contained Toby, but why did Toby move at this moment?
Angel carefully took Toby out of his pocket. Toby still had his eyes closed, which showed that he was still unconscious. But his wings began to flap, as if he was ready to fly.
Seeing Toby's condition reminded Angel of its condition in the Holy Mountain, which was almost exactly the same.
Could it be that there are soul beads nearby?
But it's obviously still a long way from Castle Black? Angel's head was full of questions. Seeing that Toby was about to fly, he quickly caught it.
There are all undead outside. As soon as it leaves his side, it will be discovered by the undead. It would be fine if Toby is awake. The speed of the undead will never catch up with Toby, but now Toby is in a state of "sleepwalking"
, knowing nothing about the dangers in the outside world, Angel did not dare to let Toby fly freely.
He could only rely on judging the direction of Toby's flight and lead Toby there by himself.
When he saw the direction pointed by Toby clearly, Angel frowned.
The direction Toby pointed was not the direction of Castle Black, but turned back towards the other side of the cemetery.
The place where Angel landed was on the right side of the cemetery, but the direction Toby pointed was on the left side. Angel recalled what he saw when he jumped off the cliff, and there seemed to be nothing strange about the cemetery on the left.
, there is no mass burial pit like the one on the right, but rather normal-looking cemetery tombstones.
Angel thought for a while and walked over.
If there really is a soul pearl, or something that is good for Toby's soul, it is impossible for him not to look at it.
The cemetery on the left is slightly neater than on the right, at least there are not too many exposed coffins. Angel walked by and could still hear the crying female voice, but he did not see the undead.
Many of the tombstones are empty, but some of them have names written on them. But these names are all written in blood, not engraved, and many of them have been turned into blood stains by the moisture.
Looking at the different handwriting on the tombstone, a picture emerged in Angel's mind: a naked woman, while shedding tears of blood, wrote her name with her fingers in front of the tombstone bitterly.
——Could the names on these tombstones really be written by the deceased themselves?
If that were the case, it would be too scary.
Angel shuddered and continued to follow Toby's guidance.
Finally, he stopped at a well.
This well looks unremarkable from the outside, and there is no weird smell inside... But the appearance of a well in the cemetery is already very strange. Moreover, Angel also noticed that there was a faint smell surrounding the well mouth.
This kind of magic has a very strong dark nature. When the undead step into the vicinity, they will be "purified" by this dark magic.
It was obviously arranged deliberately by someone.
Angel stood by the well and couldn't even hear the cries of the undead, which shows how powerful its "purification" ability is.
The strange well, the magic power to expel the undead... There are various signs that there seems to be something strange below. But the direction Toby pointed is exactly under this well.
Angel finally jumped into the well.
In less than two or three seconds, he fell to the ground. The well was dry and there was no water vapor at all. Nearby, Angel did not feel the resentment of the undead, so he simply used the light technique.
As the light spell shines, the surrounding scenes are revealed.
The bottom of the well turned out to be a place similar to a cave, and there were stalactites on the ground that looked like small spires. Behind the stacks of stalactites, a dark cave entrance leading to an unknown place was revealed.
Toby in "Sleepwalking" points to the end of the cave entrance.
Angel was cautious about the unknown cave and slowly moved forward.
Before he had gone far, Angel heard low sobs again. But compared to the sobbing and resentful cries he heard outside, this cry was much simpler. It felt sincere.
She was crying, crying without expressing any emotion.
Angel continued to walk forward. This was not a big cave. Soon he saw the end of the cave.
At the same time, he also saw the owner of the "crying sound".
