"One question per person? No problem, but Priest, is it true that as long as it's a question, even if I accidentally say: Why is the weather so bad this year? It counts as a question?"

"Yes, these souls are controlled by other things, their intelligence is low and they only have instincts, so you must be cautious when asking questions." Xia De and the doctor both covered their mouths, ready. After preparing, the priest poured out some ash from the unlit pipe and sprinkled it on the remains. Then, he swung his right arm and made the movement that Xia De remembered vividly (Chapter 440)-

Slapped the corpse on the face: "Return!"

The corpse trembled like a convulsion. After Xia De and the doctor pulled the priest out of the grave pit from left and right, the corpse sat up, and mud and sand kept rolling down from its body.

A faint ghostly green flame ignited in the eye sockets of the skeleton, but the corpse was dull, looking like its intelligence was not even as high as Little Mia's.

The priest coughed and asked first:

"Your soul is not free. Do you know what you are controlled by?"

The corpse, which sat up at a ninety-degree angle, answered in a very stiff voice:

The two instinctively retreated away from the dug grave pit. Before they were ready for the next step, the taller ghoul on the east side stepped into the trap pit on the ground.

"Priest, can't we communicate with spirits again?"

Suddenly, ghostly green light appeared in the eyes of the corpse. Then the lying corpse opened its arms and hugged the ghoul, then pulled it to lie down together.

"It seems the detective was right, but I haven't heard of such a relic."

"Mysterious," "strong background," and "wealthy" are the deepest impressions of the whole family. As for the rumors circulating among the townspeople, it refers to people believing that "Green Lake-z" is the surname left by the illegitimate child of a certain nobleman in Tobesk City, otherwise there is no way to explain why this family seems to never lack money and can always get various policy preferences.

"Aren't his three brothers also buried here? Maybe the three Ghoul brothers who come after eleven o'clock will attack his three brothers first, so we might as well dig them out, cough cough, I mean protect them too. Three brothers, then there will be nine chances to ask questions."

Just like that, only the last one of the three brothers was left. It hunched its waist and dared not move around casually, its mouth opened and bared its teeth, revealing blood-red gums, constantly turning in place, wanting to know who attacked them.

"The lord received strict instruction from the previous lord when he was young and was a very excellent gentleman. He treated the townspeople very kindly and treated his family very well. It's just that two or three years before the town had an accident, people often saw him acting secretly on the island at night. But that might just be a rumor. Regarding the lord's family of Green Lake-z, the islanders have different legendary stories."

Even, tomorrow is the day when the fortune teller association's divination ritual begins. The fortune teller on the island has to deal with this matter, and the possibility of Priest Priest Ao Gu Si's action succeeding becomes even higher.

"For safety's sake, we can't communicate with this soul again."

Bang~ The coffin lid closed again, locking the corpse and the ghoul together inside. The two brothers outside the grave pit wanted to reach out and break the rotten wooden coffin lid, but the moonlight illuminated the coffin lid, and the ancient holy emblem surrounded by elderflower clusters emerged with a faint light, scaring the brothers directly into jumping up.

The Ghoul Lich transformed by the three Green Lake-z brothers, although its intelligence is low, its power is definitely extraordinary. It's just that when the corpse in the coffin touched its arm, a certain indescribable power related to death immediately made almost its whole body lose its power.

They couldn't understand what was floating on the coffin lid, but that didn't prevent them from knowing that this thing was extremely dangerous.

This time the goal is to capture the three brothers alive, so that the priest can sense the location of the one-third skull through them later. Laplace Klein Howard cannot leave the island now. Even if the skeleton is precious, he will not give up the things in his hands. Therefore, as long as Priest Priest Ao Gu Si can take the one-third skull by surprise, he doesn't have to worry about being personally pursued by this fortune teller.

For the remaining nine chances to ask questions, Gust asked three times to inquire about the family's impression of the Green Lake-z family. For the remaining three questions, the doctor curiously asked whether they missed their hometown after leaving home, and the priest probed the different feelings of the corpses about being controlled by the soul.

After saying that, he immediately lay back in the coffin, not giving Shan Han any satisfaction of curiosity.

The moon is unusually bright tonight. Ordinary eyes couldn't see the specific appearance of the three people for a while, but only saw their figures. But it knew they must be enemies.

The priest said to Xia De and the doctor, and paid extra attention to the fact that he used a declarative sentence, and then signaled them to ask questions.

Gust couldn't help asking, the priest nodded:

"I heard that you gave birth to nine sons, so is there any special method for that?"

"A book, it is held up by souls, it can plan our destiny."

Gust didn't care much about the doctor's and the priest's questions, but since he could ask questions, he still wanted to know about Green Lake-z:

The three of them worked together, and the ritual and traps were set up very quickly. After dealing with these graves, they painstakingly restored the graves, and then found suitable positions to hide themselves.

The starry sky tonight has no clouds, and the yellow moon, which is close to the full moon state, illuminates the entire rural cemetery. The time came to 11:18 PM on Friday night. When the wind blew over the tips of the wild grass in spring, the weeds didn't have time to sway before they were stepped on by a pair of somewhat broken shoes stained with mud.

Although those pieces of information didn't have much significance for the upcoming decisive battle, they could be considered to have completed the missing part of Gust's history of the Dehwaz Town for a hundred years. After asking the questions, the three of them followed Priest Priest Ao Gu Si's lead to set up traps and rituals.

Seeing that the priest was extraordinary, the doctor kicked the shovel up with his foot, and with Gust, each took one, and walked toward another grave.

The doctor asked with great interest, he is good at devil power, but he really has no research on corpses.

Among them, the most important point is that they were just hanging a few pieces of broken cloth to cover key parts, and they would touch the ground with their hands from time to time when walking, like walking on all fours. But at this time, they had put on suitable shorts and short-sleeved tops. Although they still hunched their waists when walking, they were indeed only walking on their feet.

And when it looked at the top of the moon, it finally saw three men standing under the moon.

The one on the right was holding a glowing silver sword, the one on the left was carrying a shovel on his shoulder, and the one in the middle was holding a pipe, his robe blown by the night wind.

Countless hands burning with ghostly fire stretched out from the trap pit, dragging it into the mud, leaving only the head exposed. Just like before, when these ghostly hands touched its body, the powerful power and spellcasting ability of the Ghoul Lich were almost completely lost.

"That's not a bad suggestion. Since it's still early, it's okay for us to do more preparations."

The corpse didn't answer immediately, as if recalling:

"No method, our family has always had many boys."

The corpse answered again, and the doctor tried to interpret it in a way that ordinary people could understand:

So it was Gust's turn last. Shan Han actually didn't have many questions, but since he could ask, he still wanted to know about Green Lake-z:

The three of them worked together, and the ritual and traps were set up very quickly. After dealing with these graves, they painstakingly restored the graves, and then found suitable positions to hide themselves.

"That is to say, it is hereditary... but if this kind of heredity is distributed more and more widely in the crowd, with the accumulation of generations, it will inevitably lead to gender imbalance in the population. Therefore, this kind of special family heredity should not exist, otherwise, for so many years, the gender ratio in the local area would have been out of balance long ago."

Besides, the degree of decay of the other three brothers' corpses was about the same. Their death dates were within five years. Except for the store owner who died from a fall when he was old, the remaining three died of unknown diseases. But that should have nothing to do with this fortune teller. For villagers living in the countryside, even a cold would not lead to death.

He also paid attention not to end with a question sentence, so as not to occupy the last chance to ask a question.

Three "people" hunched their waists appeared from the darkness, skillfully climbed over the fence and hedges and entered the cemetery. Compared with when Gust saw them in the burning farm a few weeks ago, the three brothers had changed a lot at this time.

This is also the reason why Green Lake-z Town was able to develop rapidly in the hundred years since this fortune teller came to Dehwaz Town. Even, these townspeople were quite grateful to the first three generations of lords of the Green Lake-z family, and believed that they were true nobles.

The doctor was eager to try, so Xia De let the doctor go first. Doctor Schneider really asked the topic that both of them were very interested in just now:

The three of them worked together, and the ritual and traps were set up very quickly. After dealing with these graves, they painstakingly restored the graves, and then found suitable positions to hide themselves.

In the eyes of the villagers who didn't have much knowledge, the Shan Han Bo-z family was almost synonymous with omnipotence in the local area. But the three generations of lords of the family were very approachable, not saying dirty words like "first night right," and even the taxes for the local area were reduced to the lowest level imaginable.
