Apostle of Cthulhu

Chapter 166 Gravekeeper

Bonfire area, Klim Cemetery.

Si Wei got off the carriage and handed the money and tip to the coachman.

"By the way, sir," the coachman reminded Si Wei, "I see that you are not a permanent resident of the Bonfire area, so I would like to remind you that there is no gravekeeper in Klim Cemetery, please be careful."

Be careful? Be careful about what?

Si Wei did not think that there would be grave robbers in the cemetery in the Bonfire area, because there were no particularly healthy people in the Bonfire area. Even if the bodies that had just been buried not long ago were stolen, the organs obtained would have more or less some problems.

Watching the carriage leave, Si Wei set his eyes on the gate of the cemetery again. This cemetery is very different from the cemetery where the original owner's parents were buried in Akra. The walls are all covered with vines and plants, which look very messy. And even the area is one-third of that of an ordinary cemetery.

This is also normal. Most of the bonfire area is occupied by "privately built" residents, and there is not enough space for people to bury the bodies.

The number of people who die in the bonfire area every day exceeds the total number of other areas in Fulingdu, and many residents in the bonfire area cannot afford the expensive burial costs. Generally, they find a place to bury on the spot, and even more extreme, they throw them directly into the river. This also caused the Pero River to become increasingly turbid.

Si Wei stepped over the unclosed iron gate. The compartment that was supposed to be guarded by the gravekeeper was still intact, but unfortunately no one was willing to apply for this position.

In fact, Si Wei's guess about the bonfire area was also wrong. There are still many tomb robbers here, but the bodies dug out are generally... not the kind of use that Si Wei thought.

But this is not the point. As soon as Si Wei walked into the cemetery, he saw an acquaintance in his field of vision.

Alexander Waf, he was squatting on a small hill, and there seemed to be a tomb in front of him.

"Alexander," Siwei walked forward and saw Wafu holding a bunch of white flowers, "Why are you here?"

Wafu turned around, and the white flowers placed in front of the tomb blocked the name on the tombstone, but still revealed Wafu's form, which should be his family, "Siwei? You woke up early today... Why did you think of coming to the cemetery?"

Siwei made an excuse casually, "Alice said that one of her friends was buried here, so I came to take a look."

"I see..." His voice was a little low, hiding some negative emotions, probably because he was slightly affected by seeing the graves of his relatives, "Alice, that little girl, has not had an easy life these years..."

She is also having a hard time living now. If she doesn't completely eradicate the spider, the child will always be threatened with death.

Si Wei didn't say this out loud, but just shrugged his shoulders and said in agreement, "Indeed, life in the bonfire area is hard. Alexander, you used to live in the bonfire area, right? You are really amazing to have achieved your current height."

"Haha," Wafu laughed awkwardly, "Maybe, in this environment, I can only change myself, but unfortunately my change is not perfect enough. You have never worried about food and drink since you were born, unlike me, you can't understand my feelings."

No, in fact... I have been in an orphanage since I can remember. Although the environment is still different, the environment of my orphanage is not very good either.

Si Wei still didn't say this. After all, in this world, this is his memory and secret. No one knows that he is a time traveler except himself. "It is true..."

Waf put the last bunch of flowers on the tombstone, stood up, and said to Si Wei: "Then I will go back first. By the way, Mrs. Evelyn no longer feels that she is being followed. The reward has been given to me. It is on the desk in my room. You can go and get it directly when you go back."

"Okay, I understand." Si Wei replied, without stopping Waf from leaving.

When he was about to leave, Waf turned around again and showed his bitter smile.

"It's a nice grave, right?"

Si Wei didn't understand the meaning of his words, so he remained silent, but the corners of his mouth twitched meaninglessly to indicate that he heard it.

Waf added, "I wonder what the person who built this tomb was thinking? Was he thinking about what to eat tonight, or... how sad the person lying here is?"

Surprised, when Siwei reacted, Waf had already put his hands in his pockets and slowly left here.

Siwei watched Waf's back as he left, and when Waf completely disappeared from Siwei's sight, Haleiya's all-knowing book responded.

"What's the matter?" Siwei put the all-knowing book in his hand and asked.

The all-knowing book said shockingly, "Dig up the tomb under your feet."

"Are you kidding me?" Siwei frowned, "You asked me to rob the tomb, and you should know that the owner of this tomb is related to my friend. Do you still want me to do this?"

The all-knowing book was silent for a while before responding, "Take a good look at whose tomb this is."

Siwei moved his eyes from the page to the tombstone, then squatted down and gently took away the bouquet with his hand.

The tombstone had a name written on it. Siwei knew this person and was very familiar with him because he had just spoken to Siwei.

Alexander Vav.

Except for the year of his birth, there is no date of death clearly marked on it. Instead, his epitaph is engraved on the bottom line.

【No one can be eternal, no one can be reborn. We can only look forward to the next life, but not the past]

This is how the same thing?

At this moment, Si Wei suddenly recalled the conversation he had with Gallagher not long ago in his mind. Gallagher made it clear that Nancy asked him to build a tomb, but he did not know whose tomb it was because Nancy wrote the inscription herself.

Could it be...that this is the tomb built by Nancy Gallagher? But why did Nancy build a tomb for Alexander, who had nothing to do with him?

Combining the above text, the conversation with Waff just now, as well as the information Si Wei collected during this period of time, and even some intuitive feelings, Si Wei made a bold speculation.

The spider, Thorid Yon, possessed Alexander Vav!

"No matter what you are thinking now, I suggest you dig this grave first, because there is something you want inside." The Book of All Knowledge reminded Si Wei, "I know what you are thinking, but no matter what you face Against such an enemy, you must at least have the ability to defend yourself, instead of using your bare hands like now.”

Si Wei put aside the matter between the spider and Waff. If the spider really possessed Waff, even if he wanted to chase him now, it would be too late, so he could only focus on the present.

The biggest problem now lies in front of Si Wei. Even if there is no tombkeeper here, he still needs a shovel.
