Chapter 344: Solutions to the Energy Shortage (5000 words)_3



"Qishan Public Cemetery?!"

At first, he had thought they were just passing through, but it turned out that Yan Junze's destination was right here.

"I'm not going in, I'm not going in, you can kill me but I still won't go in, no amount of money would make me do it," Qian San's head shook like a rattle-drum.

"You don't need to go inside," Yan Junze opened the car door, got out, followed by Xiang Er and Ku Zai, "Master Qian, just wait here, we'll be back in about half an hour."

After the outbreak of strangenesses in this era, almost all cemeteries and their surrounding areas became deserted overnight, and the profession of the Tomb Guardian vanished without a trace.

Now, after people die, their ashes are kept by the funeral home after cremation, with exorcists stationed inside the funeral homes.

As for the previous public cemeteries, after the initially extensive prevalence of strangenesses for some time, exorcists initiated a joint extermination operation, spending great efforts to barely clean up these strangenesses.

Later, all the buried corpses and bones were relocated for cremation and then kept collectively.

That is to say, nowadays, there is actually not a single body or urn inside Qishan Public Cemetery.

However, although the sources were gone, some strangenesses still existed and could not be completely eradicated.

Yan Junze's goal in bringing Ku Zai here this time was precisely these strangenesses.

Xiang Er silently sensed for a moment and then nodded to Yan Junze.

The three of them walked to a flat ground backing onto a dozen empty graves, and Yan Junze asked Ku Zai, "Do you need your hands and feet to be restrained?"

Ku Zai shook his head, "No, I'll just sit here, we can start now."

As soon as he had spoken, Ku Zai sat cross-legged on the flat ground and closed his eyes.

It was apparent that his eyelids were trembling slightly.

Yan Junze gently patted his shoulder, moved aside, and gestured to Xiang Er that she could hide temporarily.

Xiang Er retreated, took a turn, and soon was out of sight.

Ku Zai's eyes remained closed, as he was making a great effort to keep them tightly shut.

The empty cemetery was windy and eerily silent, the air damp and heavy, creating an indescribable oppressive feeling that settled on one unconsciously.

About two minutes later, a rustling sound arose from behind Ku Zai...

Outside the gate of Qishan Public Cemetery, about thirty meters away, Qian San sat in the car, holding the steering wheel with both hands, a lit cigarette dangling from his mouth, sitting in the driving seat, shaking his legs rapidly, his gaze fixed on the cemetery gate.

Just a moment ago, he had clearly heard several eerie and piercing cries that seemed to emanate from within the cemetery, but when he listened more closely, the sounds vanished, as if they had never occurred.

But Qian San was clearly becoming anxious, his legs shaking uncontrollably, inhaling his cigarette fiercely, and soon only the cigarette butt remained between his fingers.

He didn't dare roll down the car window completely, just a crack, and after tossing out the cigarette butt, he hurriedly closed it again.

However, just as he closed the window, another scream rang out from the cemetery, startling Qian San. He immediately flattened the driver's seat and hastily lay down, no longer daring to sit up straight.

He was very clear that the cry from earlier did not sound human.

"Could it be... could it be..."

A thought suddenly sprang to mind, "Could it be that what they're looking for isn't human?"

No sooner had the thought emerged than Qian San's trembling right hand reached for the car keys.

But, just then, his phone rang. Picking it up, he saw that it was Yan Junze, who had just entered the cemetery.

He cautiously picked up, "Master Qian, please wait another ten minutes, we'll be coming out soon," transmitted Yan Junze's voice after he held it to his ear.

After hanging up the phone, Yan Junze looked up and continued to watch in the direction of Ku Zai.

He had made this call for a reason because, in the process of Xiang Er dealing with the attracted strangenesses, sometimes she was overly harsh, causing the strangenesses to emit screams of agony.

Although the sound was not loud, Qishan Public Cemetery was too quiet, and it was hard to assure that Qian San, who was waiting outside, wouldn't hear.

If that guy couldn't handle the fear and ended up driving away in panic, it was necessary to make a call to reassure him.

As the call ended, Xiang Er happened to land a punch on the head of a blood-red skull. This skull was not completely decayed; there was still a lot of flesh hanging on the bones, looking extremely gruesome.

But with one punch from Xiang Er, the entire skull fell apart, unable to reassemble itself.

Yan Junze was staring inward at the Inner Vision in his mind. Right after Ku Zai had attracted five strangenesses in the first round, the task completion prompt for the [Special Attraction] mission had begun popping up in his mind one after the other.

However, to his surprise, up to that point, the task completion reward energy points had not increased the upper limit of the Different Dimension Energy but had only replenished the energy he had expended the night before.

In other words, it only filled the blank energy bar for the original time period and did not push the maximum limit of the energy bar.

While Yan Junze was surprised, Xiang Er had already killed off the last strangeness.

The strangenesses that opted not to flee after Xiang Er appeared all had some strength, but of course, they were no match for her.

After she destroyed this last strangeness and was just about to ask Yan Junze if they should continue, Ku Zai, who had been sitting on the ground without moving, suddenly spoke.

"Sister Xiang Er, there's one more on my back... it's... it's burrowing into... my spine."

Xiang Er was stunned and looked intently, only to find that she couldn't see anything at all.

Even she couldn't see it, which meant there was a possibility that this strangeness was more powerful than Xiang Er.

Xiang Er immediately sensed it and discovered that she didn't feel a greater level of oppression, but indeed she saw none of the strangeness Ku Zai mentioned.

Yan Junze, having gathered his thoughts, looked towards Ku Zai but found nothing as well.

He then immediately raised his phone, turned on the camera function, and aimed it at Ku Zai.
