Chapter 135 The Lost Woman

Liu Qingqing recalled it several times and said: "I am sure that there must be something installed in the tombkeeper's mobile phone. There is a high probability that it is a bomb, or it may be something else, so what should I do now?"

In fact, Lu Zhan had considered installing a bomb in his mobile phone as early as the appearance of Gravekeeper, but he gave up after thinking that this thing was too dangerous and could easily cause problems if it exploded in a busy city.

This idea.

After all, he is the person in charge of City No. 3. He can ignore other things, but he must be responsible for City No. 3.

However, after analysis, it seems that the tomb keeper does not have high demand for using mobile phones on weekdays. His life is quite boring, and he does not know how he lives alone for so long.

Lu Zhan thought for a while and said: "Although the council did not tell me clearly, their purpose is probably to control the tomb keeper, so they should not take action against him."

"So the purpose of installing the bomb is to severely damage Bai Mo at any time?" Xia Yuxi frowned slightly, "Wouldn't this be bad..."

"Are you worried about him?"

At this moment, Chen Shi said coldly, "You have to understand that the tombkeeper is not a human being. He is a living taboo sequence. He is equivalent to a restricted area creature. He can be said to be our enemy. I think there is one beside him.

Bombs are not a bad thing, they may have miraculous effects at critical moments."

Xia Yuxi glanced at him. It was the first time she heard this colleague who was easily ignored and taciturn speak so many words in one breath, and her mood seemed a little strange.

Before she could explain, Lu Zhan took the lead and said: "In my opinion, this step is actually a bit aggressive, and it may increase the probability of the tombkeeper losing control - believe me, he is far better than any of you think.

It’s all terrible.”

Everyone looked at him. Lu Zhan seemed to be a lot more worried since this morning, and he didn't know what he saw in that memory.

Lu Zhan rubbed his brows and said, "In this case, I will contact the council first and ask for their thoughts. I just hope they won't answer my call again."

"I also hope...that bomb has no other purpose."



Just like before, the taxi turned around and turned back as soon as it left the city. The driver was unwilling to continue driving because it was easy to hit ghosts, so Bai Mo had to walk part of the way by himself.

It was almost dark by now, the night held its breath, and everything around it fell silent.

The whining wind came from afar, and the tall bushes on both sides of the road swayed slightly, causing large swaying shadows, as if there were some terrible monsters hidden inside, peeking out.

I have to say that walking alone on such a night road is not a good experience, but Bai Mo is not afraid.

He has walked this road several times, and as a tombkeeper, he still has some courage.

"Master driver, it's true. I've been in the cemetery for so long and I haven't seen ghosts. Can I still see ghosts on this road?"

He was calm and relaxed, walking quickly towards the cemetery by the light of his mobile phone, thinking about other things in his mind.

"My money-making plan has not been launched yet. If it continues like this, it will be all in vain. If you have time, you can contact Mo Qingcheng to see if there is any way to make money."

"There's also the matter of corpses. It's been so long since the Marine Corps has confirmed it. Alas, I forgot to ask about this just now..."

Bai Mo's thoughts were racing, and he didn't realize that his impression of the Beast Mountain suddenly became blurry, as if he had subconsciously ignored this matter, otherwise he would probably have a lot of confusion in his heart.

Because of this, he didn't worry about anything except money at this time, and he didn't have too many things to think about.

The road became more and more remote, and it was no longer even a road. There were gradually more and more shrubs around him, tall and dense, like cold observers, watching his every move with cold eyes.

On the dark road, Bai Mo opened a bag of bread and started to chew on it. He turned the last corner casually and was about to move forward, but suddenly he stopped where he was.

In front of you is a forest that is not dense. Most of the branches are bare, leaving only dry and soft branches. The trunks are so fragile that they seem to be broken at any time.

The wind picked up at some point and roared past, causing the trees to be pushed down very low, like a hunched old man. The branches trembled wildly and they groaned in pain.

The traces of a path could be barely seen in the forest. It was dark and deep, with no end visible at a glance, but Bai Mo could clearly see two figures standing under the trees in the distance.

Judging from the physical appearance, they should be a man and a woman.

The man has a strong figure, which is in sharp contrast to the thin trees. He is wearing a black cloak, and his entire face is hidden under the hood, as if he is integrated with the darkness.

The woman is dressed in red, with long hair that is constantly dancing in the wind. Her back is to Bai Mo, and there seems to be a faint fluorescence beating on her face.

The two of them stood motionless in the forest for who knows how long, as if they were waiting for something.

This scene was somewhat strange, and Bai Mo couldn't help but swallow.

What the hell is this... a fierce ghost in red?

He had just boasted of being brave, but now he felt a little scared. After all, he had walked this road many times and had never seen anyone else.

What's more, it's such a desolate forest.

This place can be considered a complete wilderness. There are no other buildings except the cemetery. Logically speaking, no one else should be interested...

Deep in the mountains and old forests, walking alone at night, a woman in red.

The rumors he had heard in the past gradually revived in his mind - this was why Bai Mo felt horrified.

"Is it the way I opened it that was wrong?"

He took a step back slightly, intending to go back to the corner and observe secretly.

However, this step seemed to attract the attention of the figure in red. She slowly turned around and tilted her head slightly, as if she was staring in this direction.

Bai Mo's scalp went numb for a moment, and he saw the woman in the distance with her hair disheveled, half of her face covered by her long hair, and the remaining half of her face was extremely pale, emitting a cold light.

At the same time, Bai Mo suddenly heard a particularly strange piece of music. The melody was dark and gloomy, slow and urgent, as if countless people were screaming.

"The old man cries, the new man laughs, but the little baby is suffering..."

He was almost dumbfounded. Is this female ghost in red so trendy that she even comes with her own BGM?

I can't control that much, so the best strategy is to escape first!

He was unsure of the current situation, so he turned around and wanted to run away. He thought that in the worst case, he would just go back to the cemetery from Wuyu Village and pick up the guy then. If this female ghost dared to follow her...

Hum hum, I must let her taste the power of my big stick!

"Don't go, please wait!"

Suddenly, a cold female voice sounded behind him, sounding a little urgent, as if she was afraid that he would run away.

Can you still talk?

Bai Mo hesitated for a moment, first turned the corner, and then exposed half of his body and said warily from a distance: "Are you a human or a ghost?"

The 'ghost in red' seemed stunned for a moment. She pushed her long hair away from her forehead and said with a smile: "Of course she is a human being."

"Human?" Bai Mo did not relax his vigilance and asked again: "What did you two want to do in the woods this late at night?"

"That, that..."

The woman was hesitant to speak, as if it was difficult to speak. After a long time, she said sheepishly, "We got lost. We originally wanted to go to Dongyang City..."

"Dongyang City? But you are completely going in the opposite direction."

Bai Mo looked strange, and suddenly his expression changed, and he said warily again, "No, please explain, what happened to that weird melody just now?"

"A weird melody?" The woman thought for a while and asked, "Is it this song?"

As she spoke, the weird sound from before sounded in the air again.

"The old man cries, the new man laughs..."

"Yes!" Bai Mo asked, "What's going on?"

The music disappeared.

The woman smiled and explained: "That's right, I was just calling to ask my friend to pick me up, and that was the sound of his ringtone."

"It just so happened that the signal here was spotty and sometimes delayed. I couldn't get through, so I had to call a few more times."

Bai Mo was stunned when he heard this and muttered: "Who is so wicked as to set up such a weird ringtone?"

When he realized it, it turned out that the woman was motionless before because she was dialing the phone repeatedly, and the fluorescence on her face was from the light from the mobile phone screen.

Of course, he also knew how poor the signal was here. There was not even any signal in the cemetery, so he felt that the other party was not lying.

"This ringtone is really weird..."

The woman smiled bitterly. This was the first time she heard someone dare to say that guy was evil...

Although I don't know why this guy appeared here at night, the scan results of Yexiao indicate that he is an ordinary person, so I guess there is no threat to him.

While she was thinking, the man had already walked in front of her.

The distance was too far before, but it was only when Bai Mo got closer that he could see the woman's appearance clearly.

She is tall, wearing a red dress, with hip-length hair and long bangs that cover half of her face. She wears a pair of rimless glasses on her straight nose, and her lips are dotted with lipstick.

...Same as his previous judgment, it is indeed very trendy.

He said: "Dongyang City is in the east, which is in the opposite direction from here. It takes about an hour to walk. You should leave quickly."

After saying that, he continued walking into the forest.

The woman was stunned, pointed behind Bai Mo and asked: "Didn't you say Dongyang City is over there? Then where are you going?"

"Go home." Bai Mo gave her a strange look, "I'll be home soon."

"But, is there...a place to live near here?"

Bai Mo thought for a while: "Yes, there is, but I should be the only one living there."

The woman was stunned: "But..."

She hesitated to speak, obviously not thinking that anyone would live nearby.

"But what?" Bai Mo frowned slightly, and soon showed an expression of realization, and said, "Oh, by the way, you can get lost even on a simple road to Dongyang City... You must be a road fool, right?"

The woman was silent for a moment: "Don't be so straightforward, actually there is only one thing..."

"So you actually want me to take you to Dongyang City?"

"Well, I thought we would drop by." The woman smiled calmly, "But since your home is here, let's forget it... and go east, right?"

She turned in one direction.

"That's the south side..."

Bai Mo was silent for a moment and sighed: "It's not that I don't want to help, it's just that it takes too much time to go back and forth. I have to go back quickly."

The woman said nothing.

She is indeed a road addict, otherwise she wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles to get to this place.

Yexiao is equipped with a map positioning system, but perhaps because this place is close to some restricted areas, his overall performance has been seriously affected, and he can't even speak.

She looked at Bai Mo and thought to herself that this guy actually lives alone here... What is going on?

At this moment, she saw the other party thinking for a while and said: "I'm sorry, I really can't take you into the city today, but if you don't mind, you can stay at my place for a night."

"May I?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, then became excited.

She has always been interested in exploring weird things, and rarely goes out. She just wants to see where this guy lives, and she relies on her ability to protect herself, so she doesn't worry about the other person's ulterior motives.

"Of course, it's just that my place is a bit rough..." Bai Mo was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, thank you!" the woman said gratefully.

Her gratitude came from the bottom of her heart. After all, no matter whether the other party had ulterior motives or not, they were still willing to take them in for one night. Otherwise, they would have to stay here to enjoy the cold wind all night.

"By the way, my name is Yu Hongxue, and this one here is my friend."

"My name is Bai Mo."

Bai Mo glanced at the sturdy figure hiding under the cloak who had never spoken a word. He didn't ask about the other person's fancy clothes, but just asked: "What's the name of your friend?"

The strong man remained silent.

Seeing this, Yu Hongxue quickly said: "He calls midnight snack."

Bai Mo couldn't help but smile: "Late snack, an interesting name."

He turned around and said, "Let's go then, I'll take you to where I live."

"Trouble."

"No trouble, after all, you are still the second batch of guests at the cemetery."

"So it's like... a cemetery?" Yu Hongxue was stunned.

"That's right." Bai Mo said confidently, "I live in the cemetery."

"What kind of cemetery?"

Yu Hongxue stopped. At this moment, for some reason, she suddenly thought of the tombkeeper mentioned at the meeting——

S-level special taboo sequence.

How could it be? What a coincidence...

“What else could a cemetery look like?”

Bai Mo glanced at her strangely, then laughed and said, "Tombstones, coffins, corpses, it's just those things...are you scared?"

At this moment, Yu Hongxue, or Xue Hongyu, hesitated.

If this guy is really the tomb keeper, then the place where he lives will definitely not be simple, and it may even be an S-level restricted area.

Although she relied on the protection of the late night snack, she had no confidence that she could leave the S-class restricted area alive.

But she is a scientific researcher after all, and her curiosity about the forbidden area is simply beyond ordinary people's imagination. Although the S-class forbidden area is dangerous, the stone monument must be quite fascinating...

So...do you want to go?

The question now is, was it really such a coincidence that she met the tombkeeper who was one of the mission targets just after she went out?

And when she was hesitating, the guy who called himself Bai Mo said seriously: "It's just a cemetery. There is nothing to be afraid of. There are no ghosts in the world. You have to believe in science."

Xue Hongyu was almost amused by the other party's words of "believe in science" and thought to himself that if you really belong to the taboo sequence, then the most unscientific person would probably be you...

Somehow, her vigilance suddenly dropped a lot, and she nodded inadvertently.

"I'm not afraid."

She and Yexiao followed Bai Mo for a while, and soon they saw a vague outline in the distance, which should be the so-called cemetery.

"night snack."

Suddenly, the strong man in a cloak spoke, his voice cold and mechanical, which seemed particularly clear in the night.

Bai Mo was stunned, turned to look at Xue Hongyu, and asked, "What late night snack? Is he hungry?"

Xue Hongyu also looked stagnant and said with a smile: "No, he is just a little slow to react. I guess he is answering your previous question..."

"My question?" Bai Mo thought for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes with an expression of disbelief, "I just asked his name, could it be that..."

Xue Hongyu sighed: "Yes, he is answering your question ten minutes ago."

There is no way, the impact of the restricted area on precision electronic instruments is too great. Fortunately, Yexiao is a cyborg, otherwise it is hard to say whether he can move.

But this also shows that they may have indeed entered a restricted area.

Xue Hongyu was secretly alert.

Bai Mo looked at the strong man and said in amazement: "This friend of yours is indeed a bit slow, but we have to believe in science. He can definitely be cured..."

While talking, the two of them had already entered the cemetery.

Xue Hongyu originally wanted to answer the call, but when she saw the unnamed tombstones in the cemetery, she froze in place.

His whole body seemed to be struck by lightning, and his soul was trembling. He didn't know whether it was because of shock or excitement——

Or maybe it's fear.

"These are... the body of the stone monument in the restricted area?"
