Chapter 4 The Senses



Chapter 4 The Senses
Looking at the iron gate that is nearly four meters in front of you, and the spiked vertical objects lined up on the top.

It will take a lot of time to get over it.

Once the living corpse finds the door during the overturning process, it will be completely forced into a dead end without any chance of survival.

【Quick transfer】

Cemetery No. 4 occupies a larger area than other cemeteries.

Coupled with the messy graves and the land gap of different heights, there is still room for detours.

Adjust the flame of the kerosene lamp to the minimum.

After a short run,

Relying on the memory in his mind, Yi Chen came to a high slope area that was easy to hide.
There are various types of large tombstones standing here, and his thin body can just be hidden behind an arched stone monument.

ear to the ground,

I haven't heard any noise for the time being, so I'm sure the living corpse hasn't followed me for the time being.

Sitting curled up with his back against the tombstone.

On the contrary, the cold tombstone put Yi Chen at ease,

Hu~hu~
While breathing, I recalled a few strange things that happened just now.

"Who closed the door?

And the door was locked with iron chains... Let me guess, it is more likely to be the work of the 'organization' mentioned in the manual.

Because of the mistakes made by the original owner of this body [William], the organization should send someone to monitor the cemetery to avoid bigger mistakes.

When they found me in Cemetery 4 and tried to make amends, they somehow locked the gate.

This can lead to the following two results more intuitively and quickly.

[-]. Either I survive the crisis and handle the deadly change incident perfectly.

Two, either I get killed and they solve the problem themselves. 』

Yi Chen didn't stay on this question for too long, and quickly moved to another question - the "warning sound" that saved him just now.

"This sound is almost the same as the thank you heard in Cemetery No. 6. Could it be that..."

While Yi Chen was thinking,
Shasha~
There was a sound of loose soil,
There was a change in the bulging mound in front of him, as if something was about to crawl out.

"This... I just borrow your tombstone to hide, there is no other meaning!"

Yi Chen subconsciously thought it was his rude behavior, which disturbed the owner of the tomb here.

while explaining,

While standing up slowly and blocking the hand ax in front of him.

Who knows.

The familiar and strange voice came from the soil again:

"Don't stand up, if 'that guy' finds out now, things will become very troublesome..."

With the slipping of soil particles,
A strange mouth emerged from among the graves.

The upper and lower rows of white and neat teeth are extremely conspicuous and too dense.

The number of teeth is estimated to be more than twice that of normal humans,

The other party didn't seem to intend to show the whole picture, just showing this mouth.

at this time,

White teeth open about 90° up and down.

The inner wall of the mouth is black, and no tongue structure can be seen... It's like a dark abyss, and staring for a long time will give people a feeling of being involved in it.

deep in the mouth,

Something is constantly rising.

With the faint light of the kerosene lamp, a spherical outline can be seen faintly.

finally,
An eyeball with black pupil and white body came between the articulate, staring straight at Yi Chen.

Perhaps because I have just seen a terrifying living corpse that surpasses common sense,
The strange 'tooth-eye' scene in front of him did not scare Yi Chen.

The intuition in his brain was also telling him that the guy in front of him might not be dangerous, and might even be 'friendly'.

"Could it be that you are from Cemetery No. 6?"

After Yi Chen made a tentative inquiry,
deep in the mouth,

I don't know what kind of form it used, and it made another strange sound like a mixture of many people:

"That's right, I'm a resident of the pet area... I just happened to be born recently [self-awareness], and I accidentally collapsed the tombstone when I was putting together my body.

I didn't expect that a low-level laborer like you would take the initiative to help repair it.

and,

Even your 'time period' is problematic,
I was very curious about this, so I followed along to have a look.

Now I understand... It turns out that you got into a variant of [Mass Burial Area] because of a mistake. "

These words contained a lot of words with unknown meanings, and Yi Chen could barely understand them.

"Do the pet area and mass burial area refer to cemetery No. 6 and No. 4 respectively?"

"That's right...the cemetery is like a factory, and different cemeteries are workshops with different functions, which will regularly produce some valuable things.

Among them, the most prone to problems are the desecrated area (2) and the mass burial area (4).

As for more information, it doesn't make any sense to tell you now.

The only thing you need to do now is to clean up this mutant corpse. "

"Will you help?"

Yi Chen asked the most critical question, if he could get the help of a fellow 'cemetery resident', the survival rate would be greatly improved.

"I can't really help.

After all, my position in the cemetery is only a 'pet', and there is no way to deal with such a variant. "

As he spoke, the eyeballs in his mouth rolled around.

"However~ Since you helped repair the tombstone, I am willing to provide some 'sensory' assistance."

"Sense?"

Rustle~ The mound of soil is further loosened,
An arm covered in black down flings out,
With the support of the arm, the black sphere broke away from the soil, revealing its true appearance.

The legs are in the shape of a splayed figure, standing on top of the grave mound "aggressively".

This standing posture seems to be showing off his [posture].

"Ah this..."

The terrifying image that Yi Chen imagined in his brain was instantly shattered, and at the same time he understood why this guy came from the pet area.

This fluffy black meat ball is about the size of two palms.

The limbs are about the same thickness as a cat, slightly longer,
The palm is divided into three petals, like three fingers, which seem to have a similar effect to the pads.

When the little guy finished showing his body,

Leap on your legs,
It landed firmly on Yi Chen's shoulders,
Then weird things happened,

creak creak ~
Its slender legs and feet were actually disassembled into even smaller black blood vessels.

The port is as sharp as a needle,

through clothes,
into the flesh,
'Install' its furry body on the shoulders, turning it into a mass of external tissues.

In addition to vascular connections,
A nerve graft was also carried out, directly connecting Yi Chen's brain tissue.

hum!
When the installation is complete,
Yi Chen felt his [Vision] change,
The entire visual frame is widened and enlarged, and there is a small window on the right side, where you can see the visual picture provided by the meatball eyeball.

As the ball of flesh turns on the shoulder,
The surrounding 360° picture of the cemetery has a panoramic view.

It may be difficult for ordinary people to adapt to such a 'split-screen' vision... But Yi Chen did not feel any discomfort, and instead showed an expression of ecstasy.

The most important thing,
When Rouqiu and Yi Chen's eyes were looking straight ahead,
The small window will merge with the main field of view.

The field of view will become clearer, and even the fungal spores floating in the air can be seen clearly.

This is the so-called [sensory] assistance, turning into Yi Chen's "second eye".

same,

due to neural connections,
The little meat ball can directly communicate with Yi Chen, and can give timely warning of danger.
