Chapter 175 Cemetery at Night
Plans cannot keep up with changes.
His plan to slowly find the writer through rumors was caught off guard by the attack plan that Lao Jia suddenly showed up and told him.
Yao Yan had no choice but to give up this slowly proceeding plan.
In this case, there was no need for him to slowly plan to act without using his abilities and try not to leave any traces.
However, it didn't matter.
According to the address given by Lao Jia, Yao Yan immediately took the subway locomotive that deliberately created a steampunk style and arrived at the location of the fourth district where the crematorium was located.
After arriving at the area where the crematorium was located, Yao Yan did not stop, and immediately flapped his wings and flew to the Sgreen Cemetery on the eastern outskirts of the fourth district, which was under the management of the Sgreen Crematorium.
The buildings with disordered layouts incoherently covered a piece of area, making the shadows of these buildings appear shadowy.
In the quiet night, all the buildings seemed to have turned into monsters with bared fangs and claws.
However, he did not seem to be the only guest.
After he fell from the air, another figure soon came to the vicinity of the cemetery.
It was a carriage.
Yao Yan, who was hiding behind a tombstone and observing because he noticed something approaching, could see that the person who got off the carriage in front of the cemetery was a rat man.
Yao Yan vaguely saw that after the driver received the fare paid by the rat man, he glanced at the cemetery and muttered something in a low voice.
The rat man responded with a high-pitched but low-volume sharp voice:
"No need."
Yao Yan, who couldn't hear the whole thing because of the distance, just saw that the driver's face changed a little.
Immediately, the driver's horse hooves moved together and quickly pulled the wooden carriage away from the cemetery.
The rat man immediately circled the cemetery twice, paused for a moment as if looking for something, and then entered the cemetery.
The scene of the cemetery after dark was not very beautiful.
The suburbs are home to a large number of industrial factories. Although the furnaces were not turned on at night, which reduced the emission of smoke and dust, the thick layer of ash on the tombstone was enough to make people feel uncomfortable in the chest and lungs.
Not to mention that there was wind blowing at this time of night.
The water mist that was originally condensed due to humidity was suddenly mixed with smoke and ash.
This situation, which should have fallen to the ground due to condensation of particles, did not happen in this world.
Because the smoke and water mist condensed and suspended in the air, the night became much darker, and there were not many stars in the sky. Only the hazy moon was vaguely visible from the gap in the dusty night, casting heavy light and shadow.
Was it sent by Lao Jia?
Hiding behind the tombstone, Yao Yan, who stopped from going from the back door to the crematorium building to ambush, silently observed the rat man.
Then, Yao Yan saw that the rat man put on gloves and a hood, covered his body completely, and sneaked into the cemetery.
Yao Yan stared at the rat man of unknown origin, watching him look around several times with a highly alert posture, and then took something out of his pocket.
Like a bottle or something.
In the faint sound of laughter, Yao Yan saw the rat man open the small bottle and cautiously fall in front of the tombstone.
However, at this moment.
In the background dimly illuminated by the moonlight, the words of the epitaph were vaguely visible, Yao Yan saw the rat man suddenly tear off his mask.
Then, Yao Yan saw that the rat man's face showed a horrified and painful expression.
Almost at the same time, the painful, sharp low howl sounded.
Then, in just a moment, Yao Yan saw the scene he had seen on the rat man's body.
Just like the scene he saw in the shadow of the street corner not long ago, just like the scene of the dress rat's body suddenly disintegrating.
In Yao Yan's vision, the rat man's body suddenly collapsed and turned into a pool of dark green fluid like water.
And, immediately, the pool of green things spread out in all directions of the cemetery.
Although he didn't understand what it was, Yao Yan could understand that this thing should be Lao Jia's ability, and it might be quite dangerous.
Immediately, he flapped his wings and flew up.
He had no intention of dying at the hands of friendly forces.
After looking around the area where the green thing spread with high vigilance, Yao Yan flew to the crematorium building and landed in a secluded corner at the location of the crematorium building.
Then, he took out the card condensed with his ability.
The background was black, and only in the center of the background was there a hazy outline of a one-eyed bird.
The one-eyed crow card was [Behind the Scene].
There was a dark red firebird with flames, as if bathing in fire.
The firebird card was [Backfire].
The half-black and half-white black and white strange bird with wolf teeth and goat horns was [Wolf is Coming].
The hazy crow stood on the black paper.
The deformed crow, [Draft].
Yao Yan's eyes swept over the four cards.
If you want to attack, you can hide through the One-Eyed Crow card.
However, these cards and these abilities can only be used three times.
The ability of the Fire Crow is defensive and restorative, and it cannot have any destructive effect in offensive battles.
Therefore, only the other three abilities, [Backstage], [Draft], and [Wolf is Coming] can be used.
Moreover, as a means of attack, the only one is the Black and White Crow.
However, his core ability "rumor" has gained an offensive ability after he entered the effect level.
Even if it is not an offensive means, it can leave a delayed detonation mark.
However, while thinking about the process of the attack, Yao Yan's sight was still lingering in the cemetery.
What is the plan of the rat man sent by Lao Jia?
It looks like a trap?
Yao Yan can clearly remember that when he was in the air, he saw that the green thing covered the entire cemetery.
Should I use it?
Or should I cooperate?
Are the targets of these traps the Yan people who came to support after I attacked and killed the disguised Yan people?
After thinking about it, Yao Yan shook his head.
Since Lao Jia didn't tell him, he didn't need to think too much.
His deal with Lao Jia was just to help him act in this world. Since he didn't tell him, he didn't need to worry about it.
Don't consider these settings of Lao Jia in the planning process.
If Lao Jia's design works, it will be an extra surprise. If it doesn't work, it will be normal. If it has a counter-effect, it can only be said to be unfortunate news. It can't be blamed on him for not cooperating. It's Lao Jia himself who didn't explain it clearly.
Hiding in the corner of the crematorium, Yao Yan was thinking, holding the card of the one-eyed crow tightly in his claws, waiting for the dawn to come.
