Who hid My Corpse!-Chapter 141 - Thirty-three, has Night Star returned

Chapter 141: Thirty-three, has Night Star returned?

(Key Chapter!!) Chapter 141: Thirty-three, has Night Star returned?

(Key Chapter!!) After Kude left, Gerard had another sleepless night.

He rummaged through the partially destroyed house for anything still usable, such as a rusty dagger and a mask to block out the pollution.

He lined up these almost scrap-worthy items and began to refurbish, polish, and remove rust from them, like an old hunter preparing for a hunt after many years.

After he had refurbished everything, he stuffed them into every nook of his body, arming himself completely.

When he had finished, daylight had already broken.

He opened his pocket watch and set it aside, sitting on the ground with the ticking sound around him, Gerard slowly closed his eyes to rest.

According to the rules of the Night Star, three conditions must be met to enter the Polluted Land.

First, excellent equipment and sufficient supplies.

Second, abundant energy.

Third, a comrade who can be entrusted with one’s life.

Missing any of these conditions, one should not enter the Polluted Land.

Now, he no longer had excellent equipment, only relics that hadn’t been updated for ten years, not to mention supplies.

In terms of energy, he could no longer compare to himself ten years ago.

The years had left too many marks on him, making him appear like an elderly man in his twilight years.

As for a trustworthy comrade, they had long been resting in the deepest parts of the Polluted Land.

But what he face could be even more dangerous and complex than the deepest parts of the Polluted Land.

Yet, he said nothing, simply waiting quietly.

He waited as the rising sun climbed high, then slowly descended, his shadow turning half a circle on the ground stained with blood and flesh, yet he made no move.

Not until the pocket watch ticked louder did he slowly open his eyes.

“Do you really want to go?” Bai Wei’s lazy voice sounded, “I think that kid would rather you wait at home for news.”

Gerard slowly stood up, slinging the fully charged Chainsaw Sword onto his back, “I’ve waited long enough; I don’t want to keep waiting.”

Bai Wei asked, “Do you think that kid will succeed?”

“I don’t know,” Gerard shook his head, “but either way, I need to witness it myself.”

To witness it himself no matter what?

Bai Wei seemed thoughtful, but he did not stop Gerard.

Because his fingers were already on Gerard’s body.

With that, Gerard left the house and reached the Fourth District tower he had visited the day before by sunset, but he didn’t enter it.

Instead, he sat down in a coffee shop across from the tower.

From there, he could clearly see the people coming in and out of the tower; if Kude entered the tower, he would definitely see it.

As he watched the entrance of the tower, Gerard heard a conversation between an old man and a young person at the next table.

“Grandpa, stop hesitating, replace your finger already.

It’s so old it can’t be used anymore.”

“No, absolutely not, this was a gift from your grandmother.”

“But Grandma is already gone, and it’s just a prosthesis that needs to be replaced.”

Gerard glanced inadvertently at the nearby table.

The elderly man with silvery white hair, while pressing the aged mechanical finger, shook his head resolutely: “No, except for this finger, it’s absolutely off-limits.

This is the last thing your grandmother left to me.”

For a moment, Gerard felt dazed.

Then, he heard Bai Wei’s voice in his mind.

“The kid has gone in.”

Gerard immediately turned around, just in time to see Kude’s figure disappear into the entrance of the tower.

!

Yong Xin stood on the top floor of the tower, facing a gigantic door.

In front of the door stood Zamon.

Upon seeing Yong Xin, he immediately bowed respectfully, “Lord Yong Xin.”

“Is Bishop Hallman about to wake up?” Yong Xin asked calmly.

“Yes,” Zamon replied, “just a few more minutes.”

This chapter is updat𝓮d by freēnovelkiss.com.

“Good,” Yong Xin revealed a smile, “you may leave.

Let me talk to Lord Bishop.”

Zamon nodded and hurriedly withdrew.

Soon, Yong Xin was left alone in the top-floor corridor.

He approached alone and pushed open the heavy door.

Behind the door was a huge piece of amber, within which an elegantly dressed elderly man slept.

The expression on the elder’s face was pained, as if he were experiencing a nightmare.

Yong Xin walked up and stood quietly in front of the amber, and the elderly man in the amber seemed to gradually lean towards the exterior of the amber.

!

Zamon hurried to the office.

He had just heard from the front desk that a squad leader from the Skeleton Corps had come to investigate the death of the previous two secretaries and was now waiting in his office.

This seemed strange to Zamon.

Why were they still investigating these incidents?

Wasn’t everything settled after Gerard was killed?

Lord Yong Xin should have already communicated with the Skeleton Corps.

If possible, he really wanted to ask Lord Yong Xin, but under the circumstances, he dared not disturb him and had to tough it out alone.

He pushed open the door of the office and then smiled at the figure waiting inside: “Hello, Knight, I am late.

I am!”

Before he could finish, Zamon saw that the other party was holding a strangely shaped key in his hand.

“Captain Kude of the Skeleton Corps’ Tenth Squad,” Kude interrupted Zamon calmly, “I suspect that a huge uncontrollable problem has emerged in the Fourth District, so I will invoke Article 37 of the Lyra Emergency Response Act.

I need to see Bishop Hallman.

This is the Key of Order.

You are now obliged to assist in my investigation! In short, take me to see Bishop Hallman, immediately.”

Zamon stood stunned, realizing that something might be wrong, and instinctively thought of retreating.

But the next second, the folding ax in front of Kude instantly unfolded.

Zamon had not managed to retreat when he felt a chill on his face.

Instinctively, he touched his face and then felt a large amount of blood.

Kude, holding the chopping axe, almost as tall as he was, had its tip hovering right above Zamon’s head, with droplets of fresh blood falling down.

“Do you think I am discussing options with you?

The ‘Key of Order’ has already unlocked my ‘Body Lock’ and ‘Heart Lock.’ I can decapitate you right now,” Kude said coldly, “So, you now have only two choices.

One, your head falls to the ground; two, take me over.”

!

Hallman’s cheeks were slowly emerging from the amber.

When his half was completely free from the amber, his tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.

Then, like a drowning man resurfacing, he started coughing violently, his cloudy eyes filled with pain, confusion, and urgency.

“Cough, cough, cough, cough!” He tried to say something, but each attempt resulted in more severe coughing.

Having waited for a long time, Yong Xin immediately went forward, gently patting his back: “Don’t worry, Bishop Hallman, relax.”

But Hallman didn’t relax, he suddenly raised his head, staring straight at Yong Xin while asking amidst coughs, “What, what, what time is it now!”

“Year 236, Lord Bishop,” Yong Xin replied with a smile.

A flicker of confusion passed through Hallman’s eyes: “Year 236?”

Then he quickly thought of something and immediately grabbed Yong Xin’s hand, asking urgently,

“Where is Night Star?

Has the Night Star Team come back! Where is Gerard?!”

He seemed to be falling into a confusion of thought and memory, his confusion growing, and his speech increasingly disjointed.

“Where is Night Star?

Has the Night Star Team departed?”

“Hurry, send them off! No, they should have left, but why haven’t they returned?”

“What year is it now?”

“236! There’s no time left, no time left.”

Yong Xin, as if having anticipated all this, continued to gently soothe him: “Don’t rush, Bishop Hallman, tell me what happened.”

“Something happened!” The confusion in Hallman’s eyes quickly turned to fear and pain, “Lord! cannot hold on any longer.”

“He is being killed by that newly arisen evil!”

“He can’t hold on any longer, He really cannot hold on any longer!”

“If Night Star doesn’t return soon! my Lord Lyra! will be killed.”

“There’s no time left.”

“There’s no! time left!”

Facing Hallman’s mutterings, Yong Xin continued to pat his back gently, soothingly saying,

“Rest assured, Lord Bishop.”

“Night Star will be back soon.”

!

Bang.

A clear sound, a cup was shattered.

Gerard turned his head and saw the old man at the next table staring blankly at an old metal finger.

“Should I! replace it?”

He murmured.

“I should replace it, right?”
