Chapter 235 Tomb Robbery
"If this is what you want to ask, you might as well go to that person. ♦♦ ♦♦" Talking about the catastrophe, Pamela raised her chin towards an old man standing not far away.

The old man was dressed simply and held a bouquet of flowers in his hand.
This is a true mourner.
"But I suspect that the Cataclysm is more than what it seems on the surface." Wei Miao said, "It is said that All Saints' Day is the day when the dead return, and these people died on this day. Among them..."
"So you suspect that I am the returning soul?" Pamela sneered.
"Actually, this is not important." Wei Miao watched her poor acting skills with a smile, "What is important is, why did they come back? The undead do not just come back if they want to, at least there is no such deed in other places. If you want to know this too, or want to know more about Cataclysm, we can work together.”
"That's right." Pamela's face brightened slightly. She had never heard anyone talk about this perspective before, "What can you cooperate with me on?"
Wei Miao thought to herself, it seems that the test was successful. If she was indifferent to the Cataclysm, her character should have refused.
Wei Miao: "I have some research on mysticism and can provide you with this knowledge. And you should have profound insights into the Cataclysm. We can exchange information."
Pamela asked tentatively: "Do you think there is a mystery behind the catastrophe?"
Wei Miao: "At least, the great astrologer is also involved. How can we say that there is no mysterious existence?"
At this time, Pamela looked around and saw no one around, then said: "So, do you dare to steal the tomb of the great astrologer?"
"Tomb robber?" Wei Miao didn't expect this person to take such big steps all of a sudden, "Why?"
Pamela lowered her voice: "The Catastrophe was more than 300 years ago, and its history has been finalized - as a natural disaster that caused heavy casualties. The clues of the year have long since disappeared. If you want to discover new information, you can only Start with those in the know. Since the great astrologer can predict this disaster, he may have additional information that the world does not know.”
"It would be great if his original notes could be found in his tomb."
Wei Miao frowned. After talking for so long, she still hadn't been able to figure out the most basic things: "What exactly is a catastrophe? An earthquake?"
Pamela said vaguely: "I don't know, what I said is official statement."
Wei Miao knew that she was probably affected by the gag order and could not reveal too much. When she didn't know it, Newman probably couldn't even mention the catastrophe.
Wei Miao: "What if there is nothing in Hatu's tomb?"
Pamela: "Probably not. It is said that Hattu's burial was personally organized by Jenny Harrison, and all his personal belongings were buried with him. If he really left notes, they must be among them."
"That's it..." Wei Miao was noncommittal.
Tomb robbing is too risky.
First, Beavis Cemetery is adjacent to the church. Secondly, the presence of the tombkeeper is not a decoration. Finally, digging a grave is not a glorious thing. Let alone the owner of the grave, if the fellow victims know about it, she will become a street rat in the blink of an eye, and everyone will yell at her to beat her up.
Wei Miao did not refuse: "This matter is not easy to handle."
Pamela: "I have been looking for reliable companions, but unfortunately they are all a group of courageous people. It is not easy to know the historical truth."
Can that be called having no courage? No normal person would consider this request!
Wei Miao said helplessly: "Verbal encouragement is really difficult to inspire people, do you understand?"
There have to be visible benefits, you know? Otherwise, who would be willing to "die heroically" for a moment of curiosity? If you are caught, you can imagine the consequences.
Pamela finally understood what she meant: "The two of us will handle this matter together and bear the risks together. Can't the historical truth still impress you?"
Wei Miao: "For some reason, I am currently collecting Odin candy."
"Candy? How many do you want?"
Wei Miao Lion opened his mouth: "At least 100."
Pamela was shocked: "Even if I sell you, I can't get so much."
She thought for a moment, then stretched out two fingers with a pained look on her face: "I will give you 20 at most."
Wei Miao originally thought there were only two, but it turned out... what a candy tycoon!
Raising the price and then asking the other party to bargain can effectively force the bottom line and give the other party the illusion of making a profit.
She could understand Pamela's reluctance and helplessness. In terms of their existence, the period of time to find the right candidate is very long. Therefore, seeing that her attitude was wavering, Pamela did not hesitate to spend "heavy money" to win her over.
Now the initiative is completely transferred to Wei Miao.
She thought for a while and said seriously: "I think what you said makes sense, but it's difficult to act during the day."
Pamela seemed to have a plan: "According to the town's festival tradition, there is an All Saints' Day costume parade in the evening, which is suitable for fishing in troubled waters. At that time, you can distract the tombkeepers and blend in with the crowd to escape, and I will come to the cemetery to take action. "
Wei Miao rejected it after a moment of deliberation: "This is not good. I am new to Sabo Town and am not familiar with the terrain. I am afraid it will be difficult for me to take on this important task. How about we exchange roles."
She was worried that Pamela would run away after getting the so-called notes. Moreover, it is too dangerous to lure the tombkeeper away. After all, he is a clergyman, so it is difficult to know what kind of strange means he can use.
Pamela didn't think so. Since she was going to pay for the candy, the notes as the final reward should be in her hands.
"How about this, I'll pay some deposit first." She made a concession, "I'll give you 4 candies first."
The highest deposit ratio is generally 20%, and Wei Miao hesitated for a while before agreeing.
The two then discussed some details of the tomb robbery and where to meet afterwards.
During this process, Wei Miao was very serious.
Finally, a seemingly feasible plan was discussed based on Pamela's idea.
After the finalization, Pamela turned and left, while Wei Miao was still stranded in the cemetery.
Because she looked up and saw that the real mourner had not left.
Wei Miao put on a harmless smile and walked towards the old lady.
Pamela's matter had been left behind.
Her serious attitude from the beginning to now really deceived Pamela.
That's right, she didn't intend to fulfill her contract at all.
Wei Miao's moral bottom line is flexible, so the torture of conscience does not constitute an obstacle to the tomb robbery.
But weighing the pros and cons, she thought the reward was not worth the risk.
She had no connection with Pamela before, and could not trust her character. She could not guarantee that she could get rid of the gravekeeper smoothly, nor could she guarantee that Pamela would abide by the agreement and meet her at the appointed place, so as to take a peek at the so-called notes and get the subsequent balance.
Verbal agreements have no binding force, and only the integrity of both parties can ensure its smooth execution.
Wei Miao is well aware of the fickleness of human nature, so she can only ensure that her interests have been swallowed up.
It is more reasonable for the traveler to perform this task, and the soul hunter is a little reluctant.
[Number of candies obtained: 14]
