Chapter 10 Wandering Grave

In the already gloomy and cold forest, a gust of cold wind blew past, making the surroundings even colder.

Bray finally retracted his gaze from the corpse crawling on the ground.

"Miss Grave Keeper."

Bray called out.

According to the thief, this place was a cemetery, so the people who appeared here, aside from grave sweepers and grave robbers, could also be grave keepers.

And this woman with a beautiful face, Bray chose to guess she was the grave keeper.

Bray guessed correctly.

Mira felt very curious about Bray, who had revealed her identity in one go.

"Miss Grave Keeper? A fresh address."

Holding the lamp, the woman walked closer to Bray.

The flame in the lamp flickered, appearing extremely eerie.

"My name is Mira."

With no awareness of being in a strange place, Bray fumbled in his backpack, looking for something.

"Since you're the grave keeper, here's a… for you."

Bray took out the parchment and frowned.

Bray was thinking, what should he call this piece of parchment.

A letter? It didn't look like one.

A map? It didn't look like one either.

"Um, here is a piece of parchment for you."

In the end, Bray gave up thinking.

"It's from Barossa."

"Barossa… that guy…" Ripples appeared in Mira's eyes.

Mira took the parchment from Bray with her left hand.

The moment he touched Mira's hand, Bray felt a chill.

A familiar temperature.

Bray's pupils instinctively contracted, but in the end, he didn't do or say anything.

"「Last Words Paper」, huh."

On Mira's perpetually expressionless face, a look of surprise finally appeared.

Then her expression became a bit downcast.

To be able to use the Last Words Paper, the implied fact needed no words.

"「Last Words Paper」?"

"A paper used to record all the words of a person before they die, usually made from enchanted parchment."

Mira stroked the Last Words Paper and explained calmly.

"Sounds very expensive."

"It is quite expensive."

After speaking, Mira put down her lamp and held the Last Words Paper in both hands.

With her eyelids lowered, Mira gazed at the Last Words Paper.

The sound of chanting quietly arose, and complex patterns emerged on the Last Words Paper.

"Is reading the Last Words Paper that troublesome?"

"The information from the Last Words Paper is directly engraved into the reader's mind, it's very troublesome."

Although Mira was speaking, strangely, the chanting sound still lingered.

It seemed there was still some time before the chanting was complete, so Bray felt that making small talk was a good choice.

"Miss Mira, are you always expressionless?"

"More or less…"

"Why don't you smile?"

"I don't want to."

"Alright, let me change the subject."

Bray pouted.

"Why doesn't that scary zombie attack me?"

"Because that is just an undead wandering in the 「Wandering Grave」, there is no reason for it to attack you."

"Then why do the undead outside all attack people?"

"Because those are evil spirits. Bewildered undead have no reason to attack people."

"By the way, you said this place is the 「Wandering Grave」, why can't I find any information about it outside?"

"Because this is a cemetery that pacifies souls.

It is full of the undead, no living people come this way.

Since not many living people have been here, not many people would know the name of this cemetery, and most don't even know of its existence."

No wonder the thief only knew this was a haunted cemetery.

For that thief to know about this cemetery, he could be considered knowledgeable.

"No living people come... then what am I?" Bray pointed at himself.

"You are a living person."

"…" Bray didn't know how to respond.

But it was a topic he had started, so he had to be responsible for it, even to death.

"This place is full of the undead, is Miss Mira one too?"

"Yes."

This conversation was really impossible to continue.

A drop of cold sweat fell from Bray's forehead.

The person he had been chatting with for so long was a dead person.

To be honest, Bray himself had a bad premonition, because the temperature of Mira's hand was very similar to the temperature of the corpse Bray had felt before.

But to actually get a definite answer was really a pain in the ass.

"Are you afraid?" Mira asked.

The golden light glowing from the Last Words Paper made Mira look nothing like an undead.

"Afraid." Bray nodded.

"Why, weren't you unfazed while staring at the zombie?"

"An undead who is good-looking, can talk, and doesn't have the slightest stench of a corpse, really does make me panic."

"…" Mira fell silent.

"Are you complimenting me?" Mira tried to ask.

"No." Bray shook his head and sighed.

"…"

"For the next ten minutes, I don't want to hear you ask any more questions."

Mira said with a cold face, looking at me.

"Alright." Bray waited helplessly for ten minutes.

In fact, Bray still had many, many questions he wanted to ask.

However, after ten minutes, Mira still hadn't spoken.

This made Bray a little anxious.

"Miss Mira?"

"I said, for ten minutes, I don't want to hear you ask questions."

"Even words with an interrogative tone."

In her clear and cold voice, there were ripples.

Her tone was not as flat as before, her voice was trembling.

Bray did not continue speaking, he just closed his eyes.

Waiting for Mira to speak first.

Because Bray, inadvertently, saw a few drops of water dripping onto the parchment.

No, perhaps, those were teardrops.

——"Do the undead also shed tears."

Mira picked up the lamp from the ground again and looked towards Bray.

Bray opened his closed eyes.

The corners of Mira's eyes were still moist, but Bray could not see the slightest bit of sadness on her face.

Not intending to get to the bottom of it, Bray decided to keep his mouth shut.

"I didn't see anything, my eye is blind."

"Actually, you could have done without saying that nonsense."

"Sorry for saying that nonsense."

Mira stared at me for a long time.

"You must have many things you want to ask."

"Yes."

"Then let me tell you some stories."

For some reason, Mira suddenly felt a strong urge to confide in this visitor.

To pour out those dust-covered stories.
