Chapter 280 Happy Cemetery
Qiao Song was certain that there must be a bunch of missing people buried somewhere in the Happy Cemetery, otherwise the faces of those strange players that appeared in his dream would not match up.
The players have divided the work today. Eight funerals are too difficult. Once you can't hold on, you will immediately buy a cemetery and change your household registration to avoid being thrown out of the cemetery during the day.
Qiao Song set an example by clearing out so many soul coins at once, and the cemetery he got in return was beyond imagination.
The sickle, gloves and sacks that are standard accessories in cemeteries have been greatly upgraded, and each one looks like a high-end luxury item. A small cart for moving the golf course is also included, which is decorated with various gold-inlaid tools and can be customized.
Secondly, it is also equipped with a robot butler. The diagram of the cemetery butler that Qiao Song wanted to see before popped up this time, and it was all product introductions of simulated robots.
These guys can even choose their appearance. Once covered with imitation leather, they look incredibly handsome.
Qiao Song didn't have time to give the robots beauty treatments, so she immediately picked out the biggest one who looked the most capable at work, to help her hoe the ground and dig graves.
If he didn't know that there should be a coffin buried underneath, Qiao Song's behavior would be similar to that of a farmer, digging a circle on the green grass, probing down a bit, and then using a special tool to poke it twice.
A stupid robot next to her will help her expand the hole and check if there are any foreign objects buried underneath. Its two hands in front are digging the ground, and a mechanical servant can be separated from the back, holding a tray and asking "Master, do you have any other needs?"
Qiao Song was very satisfied with its versatility and ordered its eight hands to dig the grave together.
This thing is more efficient than her, but it will not actively destroy the ground. Qiao Song needs to determine the location first before letting it dig.
Qiao Song took out the instruction manual and studied it for a while. It turned out that the main function of the robot was weeding. The grass on the grave would be automatically harvested. An area as large as a football field was managed entirely by the robot.
Qiao Song finally understood. Life in the special cemetery was so good. There were machines to help with everything. No wonder everyone wanted to come in.
[Ding——Congratulations, you have become a local resident of Happy Cemetery. The special cemetery area is currently full. The message board function is open and visitors can leave messages. The internal communication system is now open. If the neighbors allow it, you can directly invite each other to talk. 】
Qiao Song didn't expect that he could actually call his new neighbors. As a result, when he scanned the other windows, the call buttons were all closed by default.
It's actually fully occupied.
There was a message board in the special cemetery area. Qiao Song harassed all of them one by one, but no one paid attention to her until she saw a guy with an extremely conspicuous ID:
[Tomb of the pharaoh who controls good luck in ancient Greece]
Isn't this the good neighbor mummy from before? He actually moved to the special area. Wait...
Several clues quickly popped up in Qiao Song's mind. She immediately thought of the two zombies next door before she moved, and their confessions to the administrator today.
The arrogant and suicidal Pharaoh, and the two little zombies who suddenly swapped areas and regretted it the next day.
Now everything fits together.
Are these two the parties who took the initiative to exchange cemeteries?
Coincidentally, during this period, Qiao Song had already cleared a lot of grass in her new home, and the cemetery manager had helped her dig a lot of holes. Eight hands worked together like spider arms, and six of them encountered foreign objects at this time.
"Didi, Master, we found a coffin of an unknown creature. Should we dig it out?"
The robot, who was as strong as a yak, asked.
Qiao Song's eyes lit up, and he immediately decided: "Yes, take them all out and put them with care."
Several large boxes of various shapes, which looked like coffins but not like coffins, were all placed on the grass reserved in advance.
In the distant sky, there were still balls of light flying. Those were the items needed for today's funeral. Some players were still dealing with those troublesome burial objects. If they made the wrong choice, the consequences would be unpredictable.
As for the things that Qiao Song asked the housekeeper to inherit and bring out, she was very sure that a funeral had already been held, or relevant preparations had been made long ago.
She saw several unique coffins. One was covered with postcards from all over the world, and there were also refrigerator magnets of various styles surrounding the coffin. The owner lying inside was wearing clothes similar to those of an adventurer.
She was a girl with brown curly hair and a few freckles on her face. She looked like she was sleeping in her own adventure kingdom.
There is no doubt about it. Even if there has never been a funeral, this is a candidate for a funeral. From the burial objects to the decoration style of the coffin, everything has been handled.
But why didn’t the soul of the owner of this coffin be carried away by a buffalo like the previous funeral owners?
Qiao Song finally realized that he had touched the core secret of this copy.
In addition to this coffin covered with posters and refrigerator magnets, there is also a coffin with various brands of cigarettes wrapped around it, which has a very strange shape.
Looking further away, the robot butler had just taken out a special crystal coffin with a flowing hemp effect on the coffin board, and snow was floating out of it.
Qiao Song discovered that although the souls of these people did not ascend to heaven, their coffins were still quite fancy.
Anyway, no one of them was honest and had not made any modifications. Since they were all going to die and say goodbye to this world, everyone just competed with each other and decorated their coffins into a happy figurine of death.
Qiao Song identified these faces one by one, but he didn't recognize any of them.
Just as she dug a few more holes and directed the robots to continue moving coffins out, several messages popped up on the flat-panel operating table inside her own newly renovated coffin.
[Xiao Jin/Xiao Yin: Stop digging! If you destroy the ground like this, other neighbors will boycott you! Please help us, let us in. We have a lot of gossip about the special zone! ]
Qiao Song didn't want to pay much attention to these two little guys, but thinking of the Pharaoh before, and the fact that these two guys had spied on the scene in her yard from somewhere, Qiao Song couldn't help but ask: [Why did you exchange burial areas with the Pharaoh before? ]
Did Xiao Jin and Xiao Yin expect that she would ask this? The little zombie had originally planned that if Qiao Song asked why the neighbors resisted destroying the ground, they could use this information to exchange for Qiao Song's protection.
In the end, Qiao Song was just curious about why they were cheated when they moved.
[…To avoid enemies.]
Qiao Song raised his eyebrows: [Everyone in the cemetery is a neighbor, where do enemies come from? ]
The other party finally revealed everything: [One of the players is our enemy, and we are afraid of being tricked by her. ]
"she"?
Player?
Qiao Song's expression became strange, and he had some bad associations.
Isn't this talking about her herself?
It is very likely that these two zombies came out to play with cars like the boys and girls, and after being beaten up by her in Hearse Entertainment, they went straight back to their hometown.
Good job, you two. I didn't take the initiative to cause trouble for you, but you avoided me.
Qiao Song, who was used to disguising himself when he went out, thought for a moment and decided to give them a surprise: [How can I help you get in? Isn't it only by exchanging graves that you can enter the special area? ]
[We apply for a visit on the message board. You just need to allow us to stay at your place for one day! The special area is large enough to shelter coffin cars from other areas. ]
When Qiao Song saw this, he immediately looked around at the various coffins that had been dug out. So, these coffins were brought in for this reason?
As expected, Qiao Song saw a visit on the message board. After he clicked on the request to agree, the area in the distance that was surrounded by a high iron floral fence immediately opened its door and let two cars in.
After the two coffins came in, they quickly merged into one, becoming a larger coffin.
Two heads, one gold and one silver, popped out from the distance. They had not been able to see clearly before because they were too far away, but now they found that the grass on Qiao Song's ground was full of holes like the holes dug by a mole, and their faces suddenly changed.
"Why did you dig them all out? If you do that, you're just provoking your neighbors."
Qiao Song didn't understand the logic behind this.
"Can't I find someone? These coffins are buried in my land and I can dig them up however I want."
Xiao Jin and Xiao Yin didn't expect her to be so stubborn, so they could only quickly explain: "All objects buried under the lawn in the special area are indeed personal property, including these coffins. But at the same time, these coffins can be transformed into props and used when expanding the area. If you do this, the neighbors next door will think you are going to occupy their lawn!"
Will the coffins buried in this yard directly belong to individuals?
Can dead people become props?
Qiao Song suddenly understood something: "That is to say, the land area of the special zone is not fixed. We can directly seize other people's areas, and these coffins are weapons..."
No wonder it was considered a provocation.
Xiaojin and Xiaoyin suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"You don't mean to..."
No - they chose this new guy for shelter just because they didn't get along with their other neighbors. After all, humans who change their identities are always a little timid. So, is this guy also a warmonger?
"Don't be impulsive! There are so many funerals now, there will definitely be an outbreak of weeds on graves tomorrow. We just need to stay at home and don't go out..."
Qiao Song gave them a direct look and said, "This is my home now. I'll give you a parking permit for one day."
Xiao Jin and Xiao Yin were afraid to speak any more. They both regretted why they had to exchange graves with the mummy. In the end, they could only say veiledly:
"Those neighbors in other areas don't have soul coins, but they used to be the leaders of some big guilds. So, don't be too impulsive. It's useless to take up so much space. At most, you can go to more places when you dream at night."
It was obvious that she was a rookie player, and she did things too arbitrarily. Xiao Jin and Xiao Yin felt that they had to use other information to tie her down.
When Qiao Song heard this, she knew it was exactly what she wanted. She told the robot to continue digging the grave while asking about the neighbors' situation.
"What does it mean that there are more places you can go in your dreams?"
The two zombies who wanted to stay here and safely survive the next few days of chaos naturally told me everything they knew:
"You players should have experienced this a few times. When you lie down in the cemetery during the day, you will automatically enter the dream world to rest. The dream world is directly generated by the memories of different people. I don't quite understand the principle, but anyway, the more people are buried in the grass, the wider the city and area you can reach."
Buried in the grass of the special zone is an expansion map, wealth, and an almost completely immersive blueprint of the real world.
The more people buried inside, the wider the territory of their dreams will be.
Qiao Song now understood why someone in the special zone wanted to occupy the neighboring area. However, judging by the number of graves she had dug up so far, someone must have been doing this in the Happy Cemetery for a long time. After all, she didn't recognize any of the faces there.
If all the missing people that Qiao Song had calculated before could be turned out from the grass, it would mean that this was the final preparation of the guys behind the scenes.
But now it seems that the number of people not on the missing list is far beyond her estimation.
Creating such an area just to dream?
Qiao Song didn't believe it.
These two little zombies really underestimated human desires.
Qiao Song recalled the corpse-resurrection scene at the funeral yesterday, and what she saw in the soul factory after entering the dream world, where the player's soul tags were artificially changed.
What these guys are coveting now is the power of the Creator.
Birth, aging, sickness and death, the experiences of a person's life are shaped bit by bit by every decision he makes. How can they be undone or changed after death?
What that factory is doing now is changing the soul tag, changing other people’s skin to what they want, so what’s the next step, wear it?
Qiao Song felt that it would be difficult to deal with You Yitong's psychotic personality.
Xiao Jin and Xiao Yin were getting anxious as they watched Qiao Song instruct the robot to continue digging the coffin. "Stop digging, stop digging. The neighbors are really going to find out. Soon they will..."
Two loud bangs came from the wide wall of a specific area.
The two little guys were right. There really was a sound of a robot smashing the wall next door. "New neighbor, we are issuing a formal warning. Your current behavior is undoubtedly a provocation to our yard. Please bury those coffins back, otherwise we will regard this as a signal before an attack."
Qiao Song was happy.
"Isn't the coffin some kind of dangerous object? What if I dig it up?"
She did two things at a time, adjusted her own coffin, and placed the people who had been dug out earlier side by side in a clean area, while preparing to meet the robot near the wall.
Xiao Jin and Xiao Yin ran straight to the garage and trembled in the reception area of Qiao Song's house, as if their owner was ready for a fight, and the new puppy not only did not help, but also was particularly unmotivated and huddled in a corner.
Qiao Song glanced at the two of them coldly. Just as she stood on top of the coffin and was about to see which lucky neighbor was, the row of coffins she had placed on the grass suddenly lit up collectively.
[Ding——A large number of coffins of living people that meet funeral standards have been detected! Are you willing to use up the grass on your own grave to hold a temporary collective funeral? ]
The prompt sounded next to his ears, but Qiao Song also saw the cemetery system message board displayed synchronously on the observation board.
This means that this is a single-player mission triggered by the tomb owner in the special area.
Qiao Song is now more sensitive to the words "grass on the grave". She has seen it before. During the day, in the scorching light, buffaloes will come to the grave to eat grass. This glowing cow seems to be the key item for the soul to finally ascend to the sky.
So many people want to come to this area. In addition to the fully managed service provided by the robot butler, what is even more attractive is probably the vast and fertile grassland.
Qiao Song didn't hesitate and immediately clicked OK.
She didn't care whether the buffalo could take her away or not. As long as she wanted, she could walk in the light by herself.
[Ding——Your authorization has been obtained. A special funeral will be held on your lawn. These are some strangers who are ready to face death. They only lack tombstones, epitaphs and photos. Maybe it doesn’t matter if they don’t have these, but please let their souls wake up and fly to the sky by themselves.]
[Counting the grass on the graves…]
[Current balance: 107 bundles]
In the medium-sized cemetery area where Qiao Song was before, he fought wits and courage with those guys dancing on the grass, but in the end he could only get two or three bundles of grass. Unexpectedly, the grass in this area was harvested automatically by machines, and the starting amount was more than 100 bundles.
Now she was even less scrupulous, and once the prompt sounded, she chose to agree.
At the fence, the robot that was knocking on the wall aggressively stopped at some point. The two zombies, Xiaojin and Xiaoyin, saw the special white light that was only seen at funerals appear in the yard, and they soon realized that something was wrong.
If you ask the local residents of Happy Cemetery what they hate most, it is undoubtedly funerals.
The funeral means that another group of souls are about to enter an adventure, and the price of this adventure is paid by them.
[New neighbor, you will definitely regret it!!!]
This message soon appeared on Qiao Song’s special zone message board.
She didn't comprehend it at all, and was instead concentrating on dealing with the glowing things in front of her.
The coffin lid closest to her was the same hemp coffin that was sparkling at the beginning. Qiao Song was no longer surprised by this kind of thing. It was used exclusively in the two-dimensional world, and there were many Baji badges around it.
It seems that a funeral had been held before, but I don't know if it failed or not. All the funerary objects inside were preserved, and the coffin was also a style carefully selected by the tomb owner.
Now Qiao Song only needs to find a way to build a tombstone, or take a photo, or add an epitaph to send them away.
She first quickly took photos of these guys, and then sent them to Chi Xiaoyao: "Hurry up and find the administrator to get the photos, come quickly! I need them urgently!"
The players were actually very busy right now, but as soon as Qiao Song made a request, Chi Xiaoyao immediately rushed into the administrator area.
Qiao Song had already sent the photos directly to A Guang, but she needed someone to deliver the things to her.
Chi Xiaoyao's coffin car, which is much faster than others, is the best choice.
This is not over yet. Qiao Song gave up the notes in the sky, walked through the row of coffins for a while, and finally played the same song that he had played at the two-dimensional funeral in front of the hemp coffin.
She observed that the pattern on this coffin had a lot of overlap with the surrounding area of the previous pianist girl. In other two-dimensional terms, is this called "tongdan"?
Qiao Song directly selected the music to be played at her co-host's funeral.
Compared to those guys who had instructions, that is, wills, these deceased people who carefully decorated their coffins did not leave a will, so their repertoire can only be guessed.
It is actually a bit strange to play these two-dimensional songs on the suona, but as Qiao Song played, music seemed to automatically sound in the air.
At the bottom of the Liuma coffin, a beautiful anime character holding various musical instruments on her body suddenly blinked her eyes. Gradually, the patterns on the coffin began to move, and one piece of music after another automatically played together, gradually becoming a complete song together with Qiao Song's suona.
Qiao Song saw the face in the coffin, which seemed to be sleeping forever, gradually become vivid.
It's like immersing yourself in the wonderful music of this moment.
Qiao Song even heard people talking in the intervals between the music:
'If I could really hear such a song after I die and lie in such a coffin, no one at the funeral would cry. As long as you don't cry, then I won't have to shed tears either. I will still share your burdens in the next life!'
A dazzling white light descended from the sky, and Qiao Song saw a white buffalo floating down from a crack in the sky. The figure of this buffalo did not look as solid as the ones he had seen before. After floating down to the ground, it ate a bundle of grass first, and then it had the strength to gently carry the girl with twin ponytails in the hemp coffin on its back.
Qiao Song just watched the two translucent souls flying into the sky, but it seemed that flying was still a bit difficult and the speed was very slow. Qiao Song also saw the girl in the goose yellow puffy skirt looking at Qiao Song shyly, as if saying, I'm sorry to trouble you.
At this moment, outside the lawn, at the junction of the high-grade and special-grade areas, someone was shouting at the top of his voice: "Boss, your takeaway has arrived!"
When Qiao Song turned around, he suddenly saw a golden figure. It was a jumping zombie whose eyesight suddenly exploded. It rushed over at a very fast speed and brought the foreign aid product that Qiao Song called.
That was a photo that Qiao Song had taken specially and had A Guang develop it and then had the delivery man deliver it.
Xiao Jin handed the photo over, and Qiao Song immediately put it on the coffin. As the administrator of the purpose, A Guang was very experienced, and he edited the photo to make the girl look her best when she was alive.
Her life will always remain at the most dazzling moment of her life.
On top of the hemp coffin, the girl who had been flying to a certain height on the buffalo's back seemed to have regained her strength. She waved her hands, said thank you silently, and flew across the crack in the sky with the buffalo.
[Ding——Congratulations to all players, you have completed an extra funeral. The remaining quota for today is seven! ]
Qiao Song’s first reaction was, does this kind of extra funeral actually count?
The lawn of her new home was now filled with a whole row of coffins complete with burial objects. Wouldn't this mean that she could really meet today's target?
The prerequisite is that the neighbor who just made the harsh remarks does not call you immediately.
At the same time, other players in the cemetery also heard this prompt. They were even more surprised than Qiao Song. After all, not everyone was Chi Xiaoyao and received the task of delivering photos.
[What's going on? Has anyone completed the mission? Why do I feel like none of these light balls are missing? ]
[Damn, did you guys see that thing flying in the sky just now? It seems that this target is not included in our mission today! ? ]
Just as a group of people were shocked by all this, in a player area, in a grave awaiting processing, a girl woke up unwillingly in a strange body.
Miao Tingting actually didn't want to open her eyes. She was a little confused. She had finally planned to be an undercover agent, but how could she suddenly succeed in faking her death this time?
