"What on earth is this..."
At this moment, Misaka Mikoto's teeth began to chatter. After all, she was Level 5, one of only five Level 5s in Academy City. But looking at these staggering dead bodies, Misaka Mikoto felt like an ordinary girl and jumped back in fear.
Not only Misaka Mikoto, but also Shirai Kuroko was holding the steel nails in her hands, looking at the people in front of her in doubt, not knowing how to attack at all! After all, although Shirai Kuroko had more combat experience than Misaka Mikoto, the discipline committee members were responsible for law enforcement, not for killing the enemy, so she could only think about pinning the opponent.
But now... even if I use space teleportation to send steel nails into these people's bodies, it will be useless. Looking at that person, he is still talking even though half of his head is missing. What's the use of the steel nails in my hand?
"Ring of the East Wind!!"
At this moment, Riri Saotome was also scared to death. She hurriedly raised the sharp wind blade in her hand and roared. Then, she saw a whirlwind whistling out like a cannonball and directly hit one of the dead men. The roaring hurricane instantly tore his body into pieces, turning it into a pile of broken limbs, which then scattered all over the ground with a "crackling" sound.
“Hoo…Hoo…”
Looking at the body parts scattered on the ground, Ruiko Saten's face was pale and she was gasping for breath. This was her first time to kill someone - although the other person was dead, Ruiko Saten was also scared just now. Not only Ruiko was scared, but also Lei was scared. She kept urging Ruiko to kill these terrible monsters quickly, so the two sides joined forces to do this, but...
"Hehehe, this is really fun..."
The severed head showed no intention of stopping, but instead started laughing. Not only that, everyone could even see the pieces of flesh scattered on the ground actually began to wriggle and reassemble themselves!
“Wow!!”
Seeing this, Lei Zi couldn't help but scream and ran behind Fang Zheng.
Alyssa was still standing there, staring at the group of dead bodies in front of her with vigilance. Although she did not run back to find Fang Zheng like the other girls, she looked at the enemies in front of her in surprise, not knowing what to do. Although in terms of strength, the God of Wilderness was much stronger than these uneducated dead people who could only swing their guns around, but if the God of Wilderness chopped off their heads and took away their cores, they would still be dead.
If all else fails, just eat them!
After making the decision, Alyssa also clenched the hilt of the sword in her hand, suddenly lowered her body, and rushed towards another dead man. Seeing Alyssa rushing over, the dead man also smiled and raised his gun to Alyssa and pulled the trigger. However, as a God Eater injected with Oracle cells, Alyssa naturally dodged these designs easily. Then she came in front of the dead man and stabbed with a sword. Then she saw the sharp teeth and mouth made of flesh and blood suddenly drilled out from the gap of the sword, bit the dead man, chewed it twice, and then... "Pooh" spit it out.
People don’t eat it!
At this moment, Alyssa was also dumbfounded. Although she had never tried to use the Devouring Technique on a target other than the God of Wilderness, in Alyssa's opinion, if her divine machine could devour a creature as big as the God of Wilderness, then such a small person should be no problem as well.
But I didn't expect that my magic machine was actually... picky about food!
At this moment, the other dead men also reacted and hurriedly raised their pistols to shoot at Alyssa. Helplessly, Alyssa had to quickly dodge and returned to the back.
As for Fili—she stayed at the back from the beginning and never came up.
"Okay, let me do it."
At this time, Fang Zheng had also finished the last bite of Roujiamo in his mouth and walked up with big strides. In addition to eating breakfast, he was also observing the situation of these dead people, and then Fang Zheng understood after watching them.
Oh, this is a bug.
What, you don't understand?
It's very simple. When you are playing a game and you encounter a monster, you hit it until its health is empty and its full critical damage makes it unable to die. What is your mentality?
There was a similar bug in Diablo. When players fought against the Incarnate Sin, there was a certain chance that they would find that the monster they were fighting had no health left but could not die. Even if you dealt it hundreds of millions of damage, it would still be alive and kicking.
This is also the current state of these dead people.
Since it is a bug, it should either be fixed or deleted.
It is too troublesome to fix it, and fixing one bug might result in several more appearing. So the best way is to solve the problem once and for all... just delete it.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng raised his right hand, and soon, a pitch-black sword emerged from his palm, burning with blazing flames. Then, Fang Zheng swung the sword, and instantly a ball of fire erupted completely, enveloping these people, and in the blink of an eye, they were burned clean.
However, Fang Zheng did not kill all the enemies. He deliberately left one person behind. When that person realized something was wrong, he turned around and tried to run, but Fang Zheng grabbed his neck and lifted him up like a chicken.
"Let me go, you bastard!"
Even though he was caught by Fang Zheng, the man still did not give up and struggled desperately. Fang Zheng certainly would not show mercy to such a person. He just stretched out his hand and pinched the man's joints a few times. Then, accompanied by screams, the dead man's limbs fell limply.
"Okay, now I ask, you answer, do you hear me?"
"Pooh!"
However, in response to Fang Zheng's question, the dead man just spit out a mouthful of saliva.
"Don't even think about it, unless you kill me! If you have the guts, kill me? Hahahaha."
At this moment, the dead man looked at Fang Zheng with a grin on his face and a smug look on his face.
"What do you think? Are you brave? Come on? I'll let you kill me right here. Let's see if you can do it."
"Haha, it seems you are very confident in yourself."
Fang Zheng looked at the dead man in front of him and smiled coldly.
"Do you think that since I can't kill you, I can do whatever I want?"
“That’s right!”
At this moment, the dead man also raised his head and looked at Fang Zheng with a sneer.
"You can't kill us at all, we are immortal!"
"Nonsense, didn't Mr. Fang Zheng burn your companion to ashes just now?"
At this moment, Riri Saten next to her also spoke up to refute, and the dead man laughed.
"It's useless, it's useless! We are immortal. Only the gravekeeper can kill us. Even if you burn us to ashes, we can still be resurrected as long as we spend some time! This is our world, our paradise!"
"What?"
Hearing this, the girls’ faces changed drastically. They didn’t expect that the dead here were so strange—could they be resurrected after being burned to ashes?
However, after hearing the dead man's answer, Fang Zheng was silent for a moment, then he raised his head and looked forward.
"Is that the gravekeeper you're talking about?"
“……!”
At this moment, the dead man who had been laughing wildly just now suddenly stopped laughing as if someone had pinched his neck. He turned his head tremblingly, and saw a woman with long purple hair and wearing a suit jacket standing there quietly at the end of the street. She had a kind and friendly smile on her face and a shovel that looked very strange in her hand. On her beautiful face, a scar from her right eyebrow to her eyelid was clearly visible.
"Gravekeeper!"
Seeing the woman, the dead man, who was originally fearless, suddenly screamed as if he had seen his natural enemy. He twisted his body desperately, looking like he wanted to escape, but his limbs had been broken by Fang Zheng, so it was impossible for him to escape. Fang Zheng didn't say anything else, but threw the dead man out.
At the moment when the dead man fell to the ground, a figure flashed, and the next moment, the beautiful woman with a smile on her face came in front of the dead man, chopped him down with a shovel, and directly split the dead man's head into two halves.
Wow, this shovel is good, deep walnut essence, are you also the heir of the shovel dancing class?
Seeing this, Fang Zheng couldn't help but whistle. After splitting the dead man's head open, the woman smiled, looked at the people in front of her, and lowered her head.
"Everyone, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"It's a pleasure to meet you."
Fang Zheng nodded, and the woman glanced at everyone and then looked away.
"Just a moment please."
As she was talking, the woman walked to the side of the road, picked up a shovel, and started digging a hole. The woman was very strong, and it was hard to tell from a distance that her slender body could have such strength. She was also very fast. In just over ten minutes, a suitable grave appeared in front of everyone. Then the woman picked up the body, slowly placed it in the grave, and buried it again.
As the woman refilled the grave, Fang Zheng saw wisps of soul color seeping out from the ground and slowly flying up into the sky.
I see.
Seeing this, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows and looked at the woman in front of him again.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, the woman in front of him was just burying a corpse, but Fang Zheng could find that in the process of the woman burying the corpse, the original distortions and errors were repaired.
Still using the game as an example, suppose a monster cannot be killed due to a bug, then what else can we do besides asking the GM to fix it?
It's very simple, that is to attack it with attacks with properties such as "beheading" and "instant death". As long as the trigger mechanism can be achieved, it is also possible to eliminate this bug.
And the gravekeeper at the moment was obviously doing just that.
Besides, she is not human.
Strictly speaking, they are more like NPCs responsible for maintaining the operation of this world.
So that’s what they call a gravekeeper?
Under the gaze of everyone, the woman buried the dead person, then stood up and bowed respectfully to everyone.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting."
