"What, what, what the hell is this …"
Misaka Mikoto's teeth were chattering. She was a level 5, one of the only five level 5s in the school city. However, when she saw these corpses wobbling on the ground, she felt like an ordinary girl. She backed away in fear.
Misaka Mikoto was not the only one. Shirai Kuroko was also holding the steel nails in her hand as she stared at the corpses in front of her in bewilderment. She had no idea what to do next! After all, even though Shirai Kuroko had more combat experience than Misaka Mikoto, she was still a member of the Morals and Discipline Committee. She was not there to kill the enemies, so the most she could do was pin them down.
But now … it would be useless even if she used [Teleportation] to send the steel nails into the corpses' bodies. The person was still talking even though half of his head was missing. What was the use of the steel nails in her hand?
"Aura of the East Wind!!"
At this moment, Zuo Tian Lei was also frightened. He hurriedly raised the Wind Blade in his hand and roared. Then, a whirlwind shot out like a cannonball towards one of the corpses. The roaring whirlwind instantly tore the corpse into pieces, turning it into a pile of broken limbs that fell to the ground with a crackling sound.
"Huff … Huff …"
Tears' face was pale as she looked at the scattered body parts. She could not stop panting. This was the first time she had killed someone. Even though the other party was a dead person, Tears was still scared out of her wits. Not only her, even Rei was scared out of her wits. She kept urging Tears to eliminate these terrifying monsters, so the two of them joined forces to attack. However …
"Hehehe, this is fun …"
The decapitated head had no intention of stopping. Instead, it started laughing loudly. Not only that, the corpses that were scattered all over the ground started to wriggle and reassemble themselves!
"Ahhh!!"
Upon seeing this, Tears finally could not help but scream. She ran behind Fangzheng like a wisp of smoke.
On the other hand, Alisa was still standing on the same spot, staring at the group of dead people in front of her with vigilance. Although she did not run back to Fangzheng like the other girls, she was also looking at the enemies in front of her in astonishment. She did not know what to do — although in terms of strength, the Aragami were much stronger than these uncultured dead people who only knew how to swing their weapons blindly, but if the Aragami were to decapitate them and take away their core, they would still die.
If he really couldn't do it, he would eat them!
After making her decision, Alisa gripped the hilt of her sword tightly, lowered her body, and charged at the other dead man. When the dead man saw Alisa charging at him, he raised his gun and pulled the trigger. However, as a God Eater who had been injected with the cells of the Oracle, Alisa easily dodged these traps. She arrived in front of the dead man and stabbed him with her sword. A mouth made of flesh and blood suddenly emerged from the gap between the sword and bit the dead man. The God Eater chewed on the dead man, and then … spat him out.
He wouldn't eat it!
Even Alisa was dumbfounded. Although she had never tried using Devour on anything other than an Aragami, from her point of view, if an Aragami could be devoured by her own Divine Armament, it should not be a problem for such a small person to be devoured.
But she did not expect her Divine Armament to be … picky!
By then, the other dead men had also regained their senses. They quickly raised their guns and fired at Alisa. Alisa had no choice but to quickly dodge and return to the back.
As for Phyllis, she had been staying at the back since the beginning. She did not come up at all.
"Alright, I'll do it."
By then, Fangzheng had finished the last mouthful of roujiamo in his mouth and strode forward. Apart from eating breakfast, he had also been observing the situation of the corpses. As he watched, Fangzheng came to a realization.
Oh, this is a bug.
What? You don't understand?
It's simple. When you encounter a monster in a game, you hit it until its HP is full, but it still doesn't die. What kind of mentality do you have?
There was a similar bug in Diablo. When players fought against the Incarnation of Sin, there was a certain chance that the monster they fought would not die even though its HP was low. Even if the player dealt hundreds of millions of damage, the monster would still be alive and kicking.
This was the current state of these dead men.
Since it was a bug, he had to either fix it or delete it.
Fixing it was too troublesome, and if he fixed one bug, more bugs would appear. So the best way was to get rid of it once and for all … just delete it.
With this thought in mind, Fangzheng raised his right hand. Soon, a pitch-black greatsword appeared in his palm, burning with raging flames. Then, Fangzheng swung the sword. In an instant, a ball of flames burst out and enveloped these people. In the blink of an eye, they were burned to ashes.
But Fangzheng did not kill all the enemies. He deliberately left one person alive. When that person realized that something was wrong, he turned around and tried to run, but Fangzheng grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up like a chicken.
"Let … let go of me, you bastard!"
Even though he was caught by Fangzheng, the person still did not give up and struggled desperately. Of course, Fangzheng would not show mercy to such a person. He stretched out his hand and pinched the person's joints a few times. Then, accompanied by a scream, the dead man's limbs drooped limply.
"Okay, now I'll ask and you answer. Do you hear me?"
"Bah!"
However, in the face of Fangzheng's question, the dead man spat out a mouthful of saliva.
"Don't even think about it unless you kill me! Kill me if you have the ability? Hahahaha. "
At this moment, the dead man looked at Fangzheng with a smile and a despicable look.
"How about it? Do you have the guts? Come on! I'll let you kill me here. Let's see if you can do it. "
"Hehe, it seems that you are very confident in yourself."
Fangzheng looked at the dead man in front of him and sneered.
"Do you think that I can do whatever I want because I can't kill you?"
"That's right!"
At this moment, the dead man raised his head and sneered at Fangzheng.
"You can't kill us at all. We are immortal!"
"Nonsense, didn't Mr. Fangzheng burn your companion to ashes just now?"
At this moment, Zuo Tianlei, who was next to him, also refuted. The dead man laughed.
"It's useless, it's useless! We are immortal and only the tomb guards can kill us. Even if you burn us to ashes, we can still resurrect after spending some time! This is our world, our paradise! "
"What?"
Upon hearing this, the young ladies' expressions changed drastically. They didn't expect the dead here to be so strange. They could still resurrect after being burned to ashes?
However, after hearing the dead man's answer, Fangzheng pondered in silence. Then, he lifted his head and looked ahead.
"The tomb guard you're talking about is that one?"
"…!"
At this moment, the dead man who was laughing maniacally suddenly stopped laughing as though someone had grabbed his neck. He turned around in fear and saw a woman with long purple hair and a suit jacket standing quietly at the end of the street. She had a kind smile on her face and held a strange-looking iron shovel in her hand. On her beautiful face, there was a vivid scar from her right eyebrow to her left cheek.
"M-Tomb guard!"
Upon seeing the woman, the originally fearless dead man suddenly screamed as though he had seen his natural enemy. He twisted his body with all his might, trying to escape. However, his limbs had been broken by Fangzheng, so it was impossible for him to escape. Fangzheng didn't say anything else and simply tossed the dead man away.
The instant the dead man landed on the ground, a silhouette flickered and at the next moment, the beautiful woman with a smile appeared in front of the dead man. She swung the shovel and split the dead man's head in half.
Wow, that's a good shovel. It's the essence of Hu Tao. You're also a shovel wielder?
Upon seeing this, Fangzheng couldn't help but whistle. After splitting open the dead man's head, the woman smiled and looked at the people in front of her before lowering her head.
"Everyone, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"It's indeed a pleasure."
Fangzheng nodded. The woman swept a glance at the crowd and retracted her gaze.
"Please wait for a moment."
As she spoke, the woman walked to the side of the road, picked up the shovel, and dug a hole. The woman's strength was so great that it was impossible to tell that this was the strength that her slender body should have. Moreover, she was very fast. In less than ten minutes, a qualified grave appeared in front of everyone. Then, the woman carried the corpse and slowly placed it in the grave before burying it again.
As the woman filled the grave, Fangzheng saw wisps of soul colors seeping out from the ground and slowly flying into the sky.
I see.
Seeing this, Fangzheng twitched his brows and looked at the woman before him again.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, the woman before him was merely burying a corpse. However, Fangzheng realized that during the process of burying the corpse, the original distortions and mistakes were fixed.
Using the game as an example, if a monster couldn't die due to a bug, other than getting the GM to fix it, what else could it do?
The answer was simple: attack the monster with 'slash' or 'instant death' attributes. As long as the mechanism could be triggered, there was a possibility that the bug could be eliminated.
It was obvious that the tomb keeper was doing exactly that.
Moreover, she wasn't human.
Strictly speaking, she was more like an NPC that was responsible for maintaining the operation of this world.
I see. So this is the so-called tomb keeper?
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the woman buried the dead man. Then, she stood up and bowed to the crowd respectfully.
"Sorry for the long wait."
