Cultivation Pet Shop

Chapter 455 Crypt (1)

As expected, in the cemetery that was in front of them, there were ghosts wandering around.

However, these ghosts were just like the rest of the ghosts, easily herded with just a few simple puppets.

But unlike the other locations, since this was a place where they should naturally occur, there were much more ghosts that wandered around. When they were all gathered by the puppets, it seemed like a horde was following them.

If one didn't know what was happening, to see this horde chasing after them would make it seem like they were in a zombie survival movie.

Still, after seeing the ghosts for this long, both Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen had become used to them, so they didn't care at all as they let the puppets handle distracting all the ghosts that wandered around.

They came to the podium that was placed at the entrance, where it had just been surrounded by ghosts a few minutes ago.

The podium had the same poem that all the other podiums had and it made as much sense to Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen as the other ones.

The podium read, "From the past comes the knowledge that will guide the future."

At the very bottom was the same golden glowing word that had been on the rest of the other podiums, but the strange thing was that Mo Ze Chen could also see it this time.

As Lin Fan was looking at it, Mo Ze Chen also looked down and was surprised by what he saw. He immediately came forward to look at the golden glowing letter more closely, but when he did, his head immediately blocked Lin Fan.

But Lin Fan didn't mind this, rather he was surprised by Mo Ze Chen's sudden action.

After all, the location of his head had perfectly fallen on where the golden word was placed, blocking Lin Fan from seeing it. This could only mean one of two things, he was just very lucky or he could see that golden word.

Lin Fan didn't immediately ask anything as he watched Mo Ze Chen look over the letter, waiting for his reactions. Seeing that he was looking more and more confused as he looked over the letter, Lin Fan was more certain about his guess.

After a while, Lin Fan finally asked, "What do you see?"

Mo Ze Chen seemed like he had been pulled out of his thoughts as he suddenly jolted after hearing Lin Fan's words. After hearing Lin Fan's words, he remembered where he was and immediately turned around to face Lin Fan while his finger was pointing at the golden word at the bottom of the podium.

He asked in a hopeful voice, "Boss, do you also see this?"

Lin Fan could see where he was pointing and he revealed a faint smile when he saw this. However that smile didn't last long because he realized that there was something else that this represented.

Mo Ze Chen hadn't been able to see this previously, so why could he suddenly see it now?

Had something changed during the time that they had been here?

But as Lin Fan thought about it, he realized that it must be because of the accumulation of golden energy that was inside of the golden diamond on Mo Ze Chen's forehead. It must have allowed Mo Ze Chen to suddenly see this word.

However, the more he thought about it, the deeper that Lin Fan got into this.

After all, the little girl had just told him that this was the energy of the gods.

Lin Fan had been able to see this golden word before even receiving this golden energy, so that must have meant that there was this golden energy that was in him before that allowed him to see it. However, Lin Fan didn't have anything that was related to the gods, unless…

The one thing that had been with him since he had appeared in this realm, the system that came with his pet shop!

According to what Angela and Momonga had felt before, this system was able to use the God Realm Laws, which meant that this system must be related to the gods. Could it be that the system was what had given him the golden energy to see these words to begin with?

Then did that mean that this was a clue to the origin of the system?

Lin Fan had found clues to the origin of the system, namely the girl with green hair, but there was nothing that he could pursue there since he didn't even know where to start looking for her. But now there was another clue that had suddenly appeared in front of him, so how could he let this go?

At first he was only interested in these ruins because they were created by his transmigration senior, but now it seemed like there was something even more interesting for him to dig out.

However, this also implied that his transmigration senior was related to the gods and even possibly the system.

Then could it be that his transmigration senior had had his own system before?

Then why did he fall?

Was there something that was waiting ahead of him that could cause the same fate for him?

As he thought of this, Lin Fan couldn't help feeling a chill run down his back.

Just what had the gods summoned him here for?

Mo Ze Chen saw that Lin Fan had just smiled without saying a thing, so he couldn't help being confused as he asked, "Boss, what's wrong?"

When Mo Ze Chen said this, he snapped Lin Fan out of his thoughts and Lin Fan said, "It's nothing."

Then turning back to the golden glowing word that Mo Ze Chen was pointing at, Lin Fan asked, "Do you know what it says?"

Mo Ze Chen didn't immediately react to the implication in Lin Fan's words as he said, "Boss, you really can see it!"

Then after a pause, he suddenly reacted as he asked, "Boss, you know what it means?"

Lin Fan looked at him for a second before saying with a nod, "It says book."

Mo Ze Chen turned to look at the podium, but no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't understand how this strange letter meant the word "book".

But the podium didn't give him any more time to study it. The moment that Lin Fan said the word, the golden glow suddenly disappeared from the podium and moved in the direction of Lin Fan, entering into the golden diamond on his forehead.

After all the golden energy had entered Lin Fan's forehead, the podium had lost all its splendor and was nothing more than a piece of wood.

Mo Ze Chen and Lin Fan knew that there was nothing left for them to do here, so they immediately headed off deeper into the cemetery to look for clues. After all, staying here wasn't the best choice for them since they were currently surrounded by a horde of ghosts. Even if the puppets were currently leading them in circles, that didn't mean that this would be safe.

After all, there were ghosts that could ignore these puppets and there were ghosts that could catch these puppets.

If any of them showed up at this time, it would be bad for the two of them.

But even though they headed deeper into the cemetery, there wasn't anything for them to find. All that they could see around him were gravestones that completely surrounded them, there wasn't a single building that was in sight.

After walking for a bit, Lin Fan finally decided to stop.

Mo Ze Chen didn't understand what Lin Fan was planning on doing, but he immediately understood after seeing what Lin Fan did.

Lin Fan moved over to one of the gravestones and leaned down to see what was written on it, but that didn't help them in the end. All that was engraved on the tombstone was a single line that read "a father". There wasn't a name or a date of birth or date of death at all like normal tombstones would have.

Lin Fan didn't give up with this one and moved on to the next one, but this one was still the same as the last one.

There was only a single line on it, but this time it wrote something different. This time, what was engraved on the tombstone was "a son".

It was clear that these two graves must have belonged to a father and son that was buried together. While that might have been moving to people who knew the situation, it meant nothing to Lin Fan at all. Rather it annoyed him how there wasn't a single piece of information that he could get from it.

On the other side, Mo Ze Chen had also started looking at tombstones and he was getting just as annoyed with them as Lin Fan was.

All of these tombstones were the same, all they had was a single description of what the person was and they didn't give them any useful information at all.

After going through a few of these tombstones, Lin Fan stopped looking over the rest and began thinking of a new strategy.

If these tombstones wouldn't give him any information, there was only one other place that he could look for information in this place without any other buildings.

While Lin Fan was considering whether to dig up the graves and inspect the coffins, he suddenly received a surprising piece of news from Brainy.
