Chapter 240

According to the "common sense" Xia De heard from the carriage driver, underground tombs are the most expensive, and in the ground cemetery, the grave location under the tree is slightly more expensive than other locations. Being able to be buried under a tree represents a noble character in literature.

The sound of cicadas filled his ears, and because the weather was a bit gloomy, the direct sunlight on the ground was very dim, as if it were about to rain. But even such weak sunlight shining on the two souls made them become paler and paler.

Just like the rumors in the outsider's hometown, souls cannot be exposed to sunlight for too long. Of course, evil spirits produced by relics or other powerful evil forces have strong resistance to sunlight.

The entrance to the underground tomb soon appeared before his eyes. The group stopped, letting the gravedigger following the crowd hold the key ring to open the door. The funerary objects in the underground tomb are placed directly around the coffin, so one must be extra careful of night visitors with ulterior motives. In addition to the gravedigger's own vigilance, the three-layer iron gate outside the underground tomb is also an important weapon to protect this place.

And besides the iron gate here, all the tombs underground have their own iron gates. However, the funeral group cannot all follow down; only the relatives of the deceased are allowed to enter the tomb, and Xia De is certainly not among them.

So his next job is to wait on the ground, and Mrs. Watson can settle the bill with him after returning to the ground. It is not yet four o'clock, and Xia De has plenty of time to visit Mr. Sparrow and then return to the city for dinner.

By the time he gets home, Miss Annette and Miss Beiyasi will probably have just arrived.

And while the gravedigger was opening the door, the two souls began to discuss again:

"Since we cannot let her see us, let's try to control a living person and ask for her opinion in person."

Mr. Mason suggested.

"Can you do it?"

"I can only influence living people very slightly."

"Me too."

This means their power is really pitifully weak.

"We control a living person together; this should be no problem. Although the time may only be a few minutes, it is enough to ask."

"No problem... but who should we choose?"

Mr. Watson asked, and looked around with the other soul. Xia De consciously moved a step to the side, so Mr. Mason pointed at him.

"Let it be him."

Mr. Mason found Xia De who happened to be moving, and then Mr. Watson looked at Xia De and agreed:

"I noticed he doesn't talk much; this kind of introverted person should be easy to control... Speaking of which, which friend's child is this who came to see me off? Why haven't I seen him before?"

【What are your thoughts now?】

She laughed in Xia De's ear and asked.

Xia De raised his hand to scratch the skin behind his ear, and glanced at the two souls standing in the shadow of the tree nearby again:

"Are there traces of relics? Or traces of sorcery."

【No.】

"Then this is not my bad luck, it is their bad luck."

The gravedigger opened the door to the underground tomb, and the cold and rotten smell rushed out immediately. Mrs. Watson's sobbing became louder; she endured the grief and thanked everyone for coming to see Mr. Watson off, and talked to Xia De for a few words, thanking him for making a special trip, before entering the underground with the coffin.

People were all standing in the cemetery waiting, and Xia De made an excuse to go back to the church to borrow the restroom, so he left the crowd. He originally thought that when the two souls saw him leave, they would change to another target, but he didn't expect them to pursue him stubbornly.

"Look, he is away from the crowd, let's catch up."

Xia De wanted to laugh but couldn't, so after moving away from the crowd, he slowed his pace slightly. After confirming that the people in the distance couldn't see this place, he clenched his fists, counted down three, two, one in his heart, turned around suddenly, aimed at the ghosts following closely behind, and punched each of them in the face.

"Oh~ how rude."

"Oh~ how can you touch us?"

The ghosts' tone finally had ups and downs, and they looked at Xia De in surprise. This is of course the effect of 【Soul Echo】; any attack made by Xia De's physical body can be effective against souls.

The two ghosts wanted to run, but Xia De's right hand had already lit up with silver light. He is not the kind of fierce person, but at this moment he was very fierce in the eyes of the ghosts:

"If you want to dissipate immediately, you can run."

His finger pointed forward, the silver moonlight was very weak, but it made them tremble as if they had encountered a natural enemy:

"Sir, whatever you say, oh, we are really unlucky; we actually encountered a wizard from a story after death."

Mr. Mason complained in a low voice.

"No, I am not a wizard, I am a Ring-Mage. Also, don't step back, otherwise I will let you know the consequences. It was clearly you who wanted to attack me; I should be the unlucky one."

Xia De said, waving the silver light in his hand.

"Look, you unlucky guy, why did you choose this person."

Mr. Mason complained to Mr. Watson on the side with dissatisfaction. The latter wanted to say sorry, but suddenly understood, pointed at Mr. Mason and said:

"Wait, it was clearly you who chose him!"

"Shut your mouths, I'll only say it once!"

Xia De stopped the mutual complaints of the two souls.

Because they were just ordinary people during their lifetime, and their current state is not even a complete soul, Mr. Watson and Mr. Mason could not understand what was happening at all; they just succumbed to the fear of instinct.

"I ask, you answer."

Xia De pretended to be fierce and said:

"First, why did you appear here?"

"Don't know, suddenly appeared."

This is Mr. Mason's answer.

"I don't know either; after death, I couldn't leave my body, something bound me."

This is Mr. Watson's answer.

Xia De frowned:

"Then, when will you leave."

"Don't know, when it's time to leave, it will leave."

This is the common answer they gave.

"Finally, please stay away from my client Mrs. Watson, this is also good for her. It is best for the living not to have too much contact with the dead."

"But..."

The two ghosts didn't agree immediately this time, even if Xia De let his fingers appear some light, they didn't agree immediately:

"As long as our questions are answered, we will definitely not harass anyone again."

"Ask Mrs. Watson if she really forgot about that night?"

"Yes."

They nodded, and that obedient expression made Xia De, who was innocently targeted by ghosts, want to punch them again.

But for these two souls, it was not worth getting angry. He thought for a while, watching the two souls looking at him expectantly:

"That's fine, wait until I give you the answer, but don't contact any ordinary people."

"Thank you, sir."

He sighed and looked at the crowd waiting in the distance.

Agreeing so easily was not because Xia De was kind and wanted to help, but because he was also very curious about the truth. Moreover, this matter did not involve dangerous factors, and he purely treated it as finding some fun for himself. The pressure in his heart before the big battle, and talking to two ghosts made him angry, but his mood was inexplicably much better.
