Chapter 284 Happy Cemetery
The glowing white buffaloes seemed to be animalized white lights, and the more they gathered, the more obvious the feeling of daytime became.
Not only Qiao Song, other players are also keeping an eye on the transition between day and night. The usual time is a very standard 6 am, but now there are at least two hours left until that time.
When a buffalo appeared, it was just a light breaking through the gray sky, but the large number of buffaloes that appeared seemed to naturally bring with them a sense of oppression.
Qiao Song had already heard screams coming from outside, and the entire cemetery was sliding towards the direction where the funeral was out of control.
Including the yard where she was now, the white light of the sky was reflected on each coffin. The players inside were originally sleeping peacefully, but now their expressions were a little hazy.
Qiao Song just felt that these guys seemed like they were about to come back to life at any time.
It seems like someone is already pretending to be dead!
In Qiao Song's yard, apart from the two little zombies, there were no outside residents. Almost all the people there were coffins that she dug out from the ground.
These guys, who were half asleep and almost in a dead state, suddenly began to scratch the coffin lids one after another, as if they were about to open the coffin and get up.
Those who reacted most violently had already started banging on the coffin lid.
Qiao Song observed for a while, quickly found the pattern and shouted: "Xiao Jin and Xiao Yin, post photos for the rest of the people!"
The coffins near which Qiao Song placed a small stone tablet with photos and names written on them showed almost no reaction.
On the contrary, those who didn't have time to make these preparations were making a lot of noise, as if they were going to dance in their coffins.
Based on the different degrees of each person's resurrection, Qiao Song has found the guy who made the most noise and almost opened the coffin a crack.
This man's skin, without being soaked in the water of the River of Life and Death, had become translucent, and every burial object in the coffin was glowing, like a pile of props about to be triggered.
It was like a person who had been lying in a grave for more than half a century suddenly opened his eyes.
The first second that Qiao Song looked at the guy in the coffin, she realized something was wrong. This guy seemed to know her!
As if with some kind of hatred, the guy in the coffin slammed his vehicle hard, and all the glowing props flew out along the cracked coffin lid.
Qiao Song saw a large circle of flying movie tapes and various snacks to eat while watching movies.
【Movie package A, large popcorn with medium cola】
Amid the red and white stripes flying all over the sky, there was a scent of butter, accompanied by the sound of bubbles bursting and ice cubes colliding.
[The current movie is "Jungle Explorer"]
A few popcorns instantly pierced through the movie poster.
Qiao Song reacted quickly, first picking up the coffin board and throwing it in front of him, immediately blocking the bullet-like popcorn. Then he changed direction and blocked the cola splashing down from the sky and the ice cubes that collided with him.
Like cola and sulfuric acid, it almost corroded the coffin lid quickly. At the same time, Qiao Song found that the scene around him had changed. In the originally spacious yard, the grass and trees grew rapidly at an incredible speed, and instantly became prosperous and crowded, covering the sky and the sun.
This is not the same grave grass that players see, but various plants found in the standard tropical rainforest. Some of them have strange patterns and broad and sharp leaves, while others are responsible for hiding other dangers underneath.
Qiao Song even saw many animals that only exist in the rainforest, including ants, emerging one after another.
A small tropical rainforest is slowly forming.
This was obviously an item derived from the player's main job skill, and it actually turned around and started attacking Qiao Song.
Qiao Song was just about to take out props or use other skills to cover herself, but the poisonous insect that Miao Tingting gave her suddenly started to move on its own.
A bug the size of a black bean instantly cut into several sharp wings like blades. Qiao Song watched as the bug pounced on the coffin board and vibrated wildly, and soon bit out a special mark.
Qiao Song immediately understood something.
Miao Tingting said that she had been on guard against the people in the union for a long time, and once the insect encountered someone from the Newcomer Alliance, it would leave a special mark.
Is this guy a member of the Newcomer Alliance?
In order to check the missing persons list, Qiao Song looked at every coffin dug out in the yard.
She also glanced at this guy. He was holding something similar to a work record book with shift records on it. He should be a cinema staff.
He was originally an ordinary player without a guild, but judging by the reaction of the insect, the soul that is now controlling his actions clearly belongs to the Newcomer Alliance.
Qiao Song once again met those cold, murderous eyes. Thinking of Miao Tingting and the poisonous insect she gave him, a name quickly popped up in Qiao Song's mind:
You Yitong?
This guy, like Miao Tingting, is taking over the body of a player?
Miao Tingting may not have been willing, but You Yitong and Chunchun were still haunting her.
Qiao Song quickly changed weapons in her hands, and a handful of screws were scattered like flowers from the sky. Then another lightning strike card appeared in her hand.
With a loud bang, electric arcs flew rapidly through the jungle filled with miasma and poisonous insects, rats and ants.
The power of this familiar skill frightened Xiao Jin and Xiao Yin, who were helping in Qiao Song's yard.
The immersive movie skills are not the skills used by the real person after all, so the effect is not quite there. Qiao Song's lightning card directly breaks the situation violently.
The shadows of the plants dissipated quickly, but Qiao Song was keenly aware that the attack from the tomb owner was still continuing.
Countless movie cards flew out, and several nearby coffins were affected.
[Even the greatest adventurer in the world cannot escape the jungle of time! ]
[The corruption of coffins is getting worse...]
The coffins were so damp that mushrooms began to grow on them. The owners of the coffins struggled louder, and then one by one they kicked their own coffin lids to pieces.
Qiao Song is different from her neighbors. She doesn't have the habit of throwing coffins out to fight with dead bodies, but she doesn't want the coffins in her yard to explode at the same time, catching her off guard.
The whole room is filled with gunpowder she dug out herself. It would be disastrous if a chain explosion occurred.
A huge rabbit shadow emerged from her body and jumped on the spot like a marshmallow. Then, small cotton balls turned into miniature versions of the rabbit and jumped onto the lid of the coffin.
Each rabbit also held a pen in his hand.
[Now is Rabbit's fantasy time! There can be no killing in the fairy tale kingdom. At the end of every fairy tale, everyone must live happily together! ]
The furry little rabbits used the pens in their hands to instantly write countless identical, fairy-tale kingdom binding sentences on the coffin.
The scene on the field changed instantly. A cute skeleton monster suddenly emerged from a coffin, and then all the skeleton monsters appeared around it.
【Xiangxi Corpse Driving Craftsman】
[Corpse is being manipulated, the next control target has been locked]
After Qiao Song felt that she was surrounded by skeletons, although these guys did not attack her, it seemed that some invisible threads bound her.
She also heard a man's low voice in her ears.
"The fallen leaves return to their roots, the corpses return to their hometowns, go home, go home..."
At one point, Qiao Song actually had an urge to jump into the river. She was a stone born in the river, and if she wanted to go home, she naturally wanted to return to the embrace of the River of Life and Death.
Players have various skills and professions. Although they will not kill Qiao Song directly, their number is too large to be defended against, especially these skills that do not have malicious attack attributes.
Qiao Song took a deep breath and took out a suona.
She had been using this thing as an ordinary musical instrument for a long time. Since there had been no music scores before, she had never used it directly as a prop.
Qiao Song had not originally planned to liberate too many players on a large scale, because she had anticipated that liberating too many players might not be a good thing, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people sleeping in the cemetery.
Now, the fact that the guy next door, who was obviously at odds with her, had liberated so many players at once was further proof of this.
As soon as Qiao Song saw the number of buffaloes increasing in the sky, he took the time to send a message in the group in advance.
[Today will dawn early, everyone find a place to hide! ]
Under Qiao Song's control, the white rabbits wrote down various sentences from the fairy tale kingdom one after another: No fighting... No resurrection of the dead to cause bad influence... No harm to others... No misappropriation of personal property in other people's graves...
Qiao Song had also taken out a prepared music score. So many coffins were dug up in one go, so it was only normal that there were several music students inside.
The guy who was holding the movie ticket before has already laid back down on the coffin, like a prop that was thrown away after being used.
Not far away, another male corpse in another coffin began to move.
This time, Qiao Song was not polite. He took a deep breath and said, among all kinds of musical instruments, suona is the most powerful.
Suona——start——
The long-lasting sound of the suona broke through the sky, and it was so soul-stirring that it didn't seem like a funeral, but more like a funeral scene.
[The Pipa has been around for thousands of years, the Zheng has been around for tens of thousands of years, but only the Suona can shake the world! ]
[The crowd control effect is activated. All living things that hear the suona music will be affected by the distance and any action will be restricted! ]
With Qiao Song as the center, countless noisy coffins seemed to have been paused.
Qiao Song was moving while playing the suona. The door of the yard was knocked, and Chi Xiaoyao stuffed the last batch of photos directly into the hands of the gold and silver little zombies.
"The last batch! The administrator said he is out of photo paper, so you can't print it yet!"
After finishing Ah Guang's special instructions, Chi Xiaoyao hardly stopped, and at Qiao Song's nod, he drove his coffin quickly and prepared to go home.
The two little zombies also knew what the current situation meant and quickly started posting photos.
When there were only a few pictures left, Qiao Song asked them to go into the coffin quickly. During this time, Qiao Song kept playing the suona.
Is A Guang reminding her?
Qiao Song continued to play the suona. She could see the backs of her hands becoming increasingly rough, and she also felt the rapid passage of time. She was getting older.
The turmoil in the entire cemetery continued, but the sound of the suona seemed to have some kind of magic. The closer the area was to Qiao Song, the quieter it became. Gradually, it seemed that only the sound of the suona that pierced the sky was still playing in the entire cemetery.
Mike Feng, who played next to Qiao Song, wanted to ask a few guys in the band to help him play together, but those guys had already seen the buffaloes gathering in the sky and realized that something was wrong. They quickly got into their cars and found a hole to bury themselves.
The yard of Qiao Song was like a beach after the tide receded. The suppressed coffins were resealed and returned to silence. Under the care of the suona, the coffins and cans containing the dead were pasted with photos one by one.
Qiao Song looked at every guy in the coffin, but the operation similar to You Yitong's resurrection never happened again.
The dead who had been appeased, that is, the players who had names and had written diaries, wills and the like, flew out of the coffins one by one.
They climbed onto the buffalo's back peacefully and tranquilly, and were carried up to the sky, as if they were in a dream, with vague and uncertain expressions, as if they had never woken up.
Countless people were waving to Qiao Song.
Of course, there were a few who were slow to react.
Qiao Song saw that in these slow-moving coffins, there was occasionally a black shadow slowly melting.
Those unwilling eyes kept staring at her, as if saying that no matter whose coffin he crawled out of, he would bite Qiao Song's neck.
Qiao Song turned the suona's mouthpiece toward that direction and blew hard, and the black shadow suddenly retreated.
At this time, a large area of white light flashed. It was not dawn, but countless buffaloes were diving down from the broken sky.
The players who had already hidden in the underground tombs heard the prompt tone.
[Ding——Funeral is over-fulfilled, currently 68/8 have been saved]
The players were shocked and bewildered. They did not expect so many funerals to be held suddenly. You know, the information they had heard from the NPC before was that there should be no more than three funerals a day. Today's eight were far beyond expectations, and the result was a direct six-fold increase!
The more funerals you attend, the greater the side effects. Who is hosting the funeral, Qiao Song?
Qiao Song’s next-door neighbor was also somewhat confused.
Fu Chunsheng was wearing a powerful noise-cancelling headset on his ears, which blocked Qiao Song's suona attack in time.
He has never lacked props and skills, and even this body is just a stock in his warehouse.
But he didn't expect that Qiao Song was so bold. He saved so many players at once. Wasn't he afraid of being exposed to the light and causing problems?
Then he thought of Qiao Song's identity. Could it be that he was planning to give up his human body? That was not impossible. This was exactly what he and the other person wanted to see.
The old man in Area 1 was lying in the tombstone with a faint smile on his face.
And Qiao Song, who was sitting next to Fu Chunsheng, was still playing the tune.
As more people were saved, the sky became brighter than ever before, almost like daytime, and she felt her skin melting.
Qiao Song had answered other people before that even if a soul was saved, it might not be able to go home, but Qiao Song actually wanted to know where the soul went after being saved more than anyone else.
If you want to know the answer, you have to pay the price and go and take a look at it at the right time.
Now that the suona has taken control of everyone in the area who can hear the music, Qiao Song knows that his chance has come.
A mattress popped out from the wall next door, with a mini gourd on it.
Mike was looking at the two band members who had sneaked into his yard, the ones who had covered their ears furtively and were throwing props out.
You are so good, Qiao Song, why are there people everywhere giving you equipment? He almost forgot that there are Qiao Song's accomplices in the band.
After throwing away the things, Xiao Cong quickly drove the coffin cart into a large pit nearby. It was a temporary cemetery provided by the special area for the sheltered.
At this time, there was only one figure in the yard, still stubbornly, watching Qiao Song fly into the sky on the mattress in the white light flying all over the sky.
Tang Xiaoxiao felt that tears were already flowing from her eyes unconsciously, and then she crawled back into her small coffin.
In addition to what Qiao Song said, urging everyone to return to the tomb as soon as possible, someone in the group also wrote an additional suggestion.
[Qiao Song: Happy Cemetery, the will is the key, but I hope everyone is not just to complete the task, but to think carefully, if you are lying in the tombstone and a ceremony is to be held, what kind of funeral do you want? ]
[Qiao Song: At least at the moment of writing, the will is for myself to read.]
Someone in the group has discussed this before. Returning to the real world may require a little willpower.
Looking back on this life, are there any regrets? Resolving these regrets may be the motivation to reach the other side.
Tang Xiaoxiao was lying in the coffin. Through the translucent panel of the coffin, she saw the scene in the air. The light drowned Qiao Song. She rushed out through the crack, and no one in the whole town dared to follow her.
There is not much time left until dawn, and many players have a premonition that the cemetery has become such a mess that they may not have the chance to write a will when they wake up next time.
That's why Qiao Song urged the players to hide in advance and think about how to write their wills in advance, and even remembered to ask them to cover their ears before the suona sounded.
The sound of the suona still penetrated into my ears to a certain extent, and the control effect was weakened, but the emotional effect was not worse at all.
The cemetery gradually became silent.
'What about you, Sister Qiao Song? Do you have a place you want to go back to? Do you have something you want to own? If it were you, how would you write this will? '
Many people hope that Qiao Song can go to their world, and so does Tang Xiaoxiao.
Don't be afraid to take risks, but don't forget to leave yourself a way out. This is what Qiao Song taught her.
So Sister Qiao Song, you must also remember to leave a way out for yourself.
The scene in the sky was reflected in Tang Xiaoxiao's pupils. She clenched her fists and finally, with great effort, looked at her real name [Tang Xiaoyan] on the will before falling into sleep.
When her mother was serious, she would call her by her real name, but more often than not, Tang Xiaoxiao hoped that her mother would call her by her nickname instead of looking at her with anger and sadness in her eyes.
She likes to hear her mother call her Xiaoxiao, just like when she was a child.
Tang Xiaoxiao began to add to the contents of the will with great effort.
She likes math and chemistry, and likes doing experiments. She wants to know how vaccines are made and whether the neurons in the human brain are arranged and combined in the same way as computer codes.
She also wants to go to college and take her mother to the beach.
Her life should be long and beautiful, and so should her mother. She shouldn't be trapped in a wheelchair and in that small house.
Tang Xiaoxiao listened to the suona sound coming through the earplugs and felt her soul begin to float. With every new word she wrote on the will, she wanted to go home more.
Not only her, many people feel the same way.
The effect of Qiao Song's suona skill is not only control, but the music can also directly convey emotions.
The moment the suona piece was finished, daylight arrived.
Qiao Song heard a slight buzzing sound in his ears.
Of course, Qiao Song didn't write a will. She just wrote her name when she entered the village and didn't plan to add anything else because she knew it would be of no use to her.
After holding so many funerals, he basically understood everything he should understand. The moment the white light shone on him, Qiao Song felt a burning sensation on his skin.
After all, she is no longer pure stone, but a human body. She is also a player who has regained most of the power on the Infinite Highway, but the key is still with other administrators.
She is not invulnerable, but she is delicately located on the borderline between human and administrator, able to make a choice at any time.
Qiao Song was flying upwards in the white light, riding on a burning mattress. Beside her, there were several buffaloes, carrying their souls along with her.
There was a white color in the buffalo's eye sockets, and the soul on its back was also semi-transparent. Only Qiao Song kept her eyes wide open. She saw that there was a very thin barrier above the dome sky.
A long time ago, when Qiao Song was drifting on the River of Life and Death with Annie and the others, he saw a night sky like this. Under the black curtain, it was filled with stars like broken diamonds.
Every shooting star that streaks across the sky is a person who has passed away, and now those stars have appeared here.
The broken stars are not falling, but rising.
Happy Cemetery is the last island after the river of life and death floods the highway.
Qiao Song saw that in the endless darkness outside the island, the surface of the River of Life and Death was emitting layers of fluorescent light. Those who were about to be reincarnated, with their light souls, rose into the sky, passed through the barrier, and flew out like stars.
The barrier was originally invisible, but now one can see there is a layer of gauze on the surface. That's because something is hanging on the barrier and can't pass through.
The broken stars that successfully passed through the barrier were the souls of the dead, while those that stayed near the barrier were the much dimmer, translucent souls of the players.
And they are all players who have held funerals.
Their souls were unable to pass through the barrier and were blocked on this side by the eggshell-like substance. They could only gaze at the world on the other side through the barrier.
Qiao Song kept staring carefully at getting the barrier.
She had never realized before that there was this layer.
After she became a human, it was the first time she watched the soul ascension ceremony in the white night from a human perspective.
I always feel that I should be able to push open that barrier, but there is still something missing.
Qiao Song didn't know what was missing, but her time had come.
Amid the stinging pain of the white light, she suddenly fell, and her whole body crashed into the ground along with the burning mattress. Finally, she rolled back into the coffin covered in ashes, and hit the grave that she had reserved in advance in the special area.
Consciousness seemed to have passed through countless rotating slides and suddenly slid out.
Qiao Song appeared seamlessly in the dream, but this time he was standing on the street. It was not as prosperous as before and there were few people on the road.
There was a rumbling sound coming from the distance, and several huge machines were moving through the city, like destructive robots that only appeared in dreams.
Qiao Song calmed down and then realized that he had fallen asleep.
Not far behind her, mechanical devices as big as buildings would capture any lone soul they saw on the road.
Qiao Song saw that countless Thousand-Armed Guanyin-like mechanical arms were each covered by a special object.
A white net and a few feathers, isn't this a handicraft of the human world?
What's it called? Dreamcatcher.
The dream catcher catches the dreaming soul in the dream, but the ones dispatched are robots. How can it be both scientific and unscientific?
Qiao Song watched for a few seconds and saw a robot that was ten times taller than her. Qiao Song made a quick decision and started running immediately.
When something unexpected happened in the cemetery, the dream world also changed synchronously.
Qiao Song felt that those people behind the scenes seemed to be unable to wait any longer. In just a day or two, the cemetery would be completely sunk. After Qiao Song's last conversation with Li Yuan, he was already prepared to speed up the ship's docking next time.
Qiao Song controls the space where everyone is currently resting after the Infinite Highway was flooded. That is the main god's world created based on the mirror animals. It is not an easy task to open and close the door, put the players on the boat and bring them over.
Managing those survivors and NPCs is not an easy task. Qiao Song left all the mess to Li Yuan, Fan Xi and others because he could no longer spare much energy.
But just as they asked them to find a way to speed up the progress and send another batch of players over, we also sped up the progress without saying anything and cut off the source of the damage to the dungeon.
What’s going on? Is there an undercover agent in her family too?
Yes, except for a few members of the Newcomer Alliance and Black Iron Guild, even the NPCs are all in the main god space. It is not surprising to have an undercover agent. What is surprising is how they were contacted?
While thinking, Qiao Song quickly walked through the city. She wanted to go back and confirm whether her mother had come to her dream today.
As a result, before he arrived at the community, a dark shadow suddenly swooped down from the sky just when Qiao Song was about to reach the community.
It was a red-eyed crow.
Qiao Song grabbed Li Yuan as if he was catching a ball, and at the same time dodged a large piece of brick and stone debris falling from the roof.
Looking up, I saw that some buildings had begun to collapse. They were destroyed by the robots.
This time Qiao Song took a more empty road. The crow flapped its wings as if it had something to say, but Qiao Song asked first:
"Li Yuan, I remember we analyzed before that the buildings in the collective dream were difficult to destroy, so how come they were able to destroy the building?"
Qiao Song fled quickly with the crow. Li Yuan's figure flashed and soon changed from a crow to a human body covered with black feathers, and then he ran down by himself.
"Because most of the dreamers in the city have been driven out, there are not enough people, and the scenes in the dreams have become unreal."
Indeed, if you look closely, you can see that the surrounding buildings are not as orderly as before. Occasionally, a road sign will appear, and there will be two strange buildings stitched together.
It means that some confused dreams and confused memories are intertwined.
Once everyone firmly believes that apples are green, then the apple in the dream will be green. Now some people believe that it is red, so the apple in the dream will be both red and green.
In the direction they were running, all the buildings, except for the signal building they had visited before, became more and more strange, because there were fewer and fewer people dreaming, and there were not enough living people who recognized the surrounding buildings.
Seeing that time was running out, Qiao Song knew that Li Yuan came to her at this time probably to tell her about Shu Ruyue.
There was another collapsed building wall above his head. Just as Qiao Song was about to roll over, Li Yuan, who was half human and half crow, had already naturally hugged Qiao Song's waist.
Qiao Song was stunned for a second, then decisively hooked Li Yuan's neck and was carried directly into the air.
Li Yuan watched Qiao Song adjust his posture before continuing:
"Don't worry, mom is awake and won't come to me in my dreams."
The direction Li Yuan just flew out was their residential area. At the same time, he took out a file bag from his arms, which contained only a very thin piece of paper.
Shu Ruyue was online for a short time today. She wrote something quickly and went offline immediately.
Qiao Song just didn't expect that it was actually a piece of news.
[In a hospital on Hui'an Road, a vegetative patient attacked medical staff after waking up. The injured have been treated. The mad patient fell into a coma again after waking up for ten minutes.]
In the end, Shu Ruyue only had time to add a few more key words that she knew on the paper, which made Qiao Song secretly shocked.
[An ordinary office worker, 45 years old, a thin middle-aged man, ordered the medical staff to avoid his vital parts, with a terrified expression and changeable emotions, and he seemed to have mental problems.]
Qiao Song thought about the scene he had seen in the sky before and wondered how it was possible that someone had gone back.
What method did the Newcomer Alliance use to send people back for ten minutes?
The Raven brand aircraft was very powerful. Qiao Song soon saw the only undamaged building complex in the chaotic collapsed city from his elevated field of vision.
That’s right, a complex of buildings.
Those signal towers of all sizes together formed a strange square circle, and at the center was the brain wave research center that Qiao Song had visited before.
The lines of the signal towers trembled and glowed, looking up at the sky as if they were guarding a wall.
And in the middle...
Very strange.
At one point, Qiao Song even felt that this experimental center was like a sculpture in a square shrine.
Get this kind of stuff here.
The guys from the Newcomer Alliance are really crazy.
