Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 3 Tonight, the Undead Join the Hunt
"I am asleep?"

Yu Jin sat on the edge of the bed with a look of doubt in his eyes.

As an ember, he should not be able to sleep anywhere except by a bonfire, but now...

"Bang bang bang~!"

Three knocks on the door interrupted Ember's thoughts.

When he opened the door, Archbishop Anthony appeared in front of him.

"Good morning, Your Excellency."

Archbishop Anthony tapped his chest four times clockwise and asked with a smile, "Would you like to have breakfast?"

Yu Jin nodded, and then said, "You can call me..."

Yu Jin paused. He remembered that he was Yu Jin, but suddenly found that he had forgotten his real name.

After a moment of silence, Yu Jin slowly said, "Yu Jin."

"Okay, Mr. Ember."

Archbishop Anthony nodded slightly. He could see that Yu Jin did not want him to continue calling him the Follower.

It was as if the other party had not revealed the Badge of Night.

"Please follow me, Mr. Ember."

Archbishop Anthony gestured for invitation, walked in front and led Yu Jin down the stairs to the dining hall at the back of the church.

A sumptuous breakfast had been prepared for the two of them at the dining table in the cafeteria.

Archbishop Anthony smiled and invited Yu Jin to take a seat. He said, "I prepared this according to Rune's eating habits. I hope you like it. If you want to eat anything, you can also let me know."

Yu Jin nodded slightly and sat down at the table without any doubt.

Then, the Archbishop saw Yu Jin take off his helmet, revealing a handsome but slightly lifeless face.

Yu Jin didn't pay attention to the archbishop's gaze. He just grabbed the white bread on the table and took a bite.

Although he does not need to eat as 'Ember', Ember's memory tells him that he needs to keep eating.

If conditions permit, it is best to have three meals a day regularly.

This makes him more like a 'human'.

"thanks for treatment."

Ember quickly finished his breakfast, thanked Anthony, and put his helmet back on.

At the same time, an ice-blue sword emitting cold air appeared out of thin air in his hand.

Then, he walked silently along the original path to the church hall.

Now, he is setting out to find the Black Emperor.

"Crash! Bang!"

The sound of armor cracking mixed with heavy footsteps, and a man wearing full body knight armor appeared in the hall.

Then he stopped.

The reason for stopping was that the hall, which was empty last night, was now full of people.

The early morning sun pierced through the church's stained glass, illuminating the smooth rows of seats on both sides of the bright red carpet.

It was filled with men and women dressed in various styles, who were bowing their heads and closing their eyes, whispering devoutly to the goddess.

Even the arrival of embers could not interrupt their prayers.

"Mr. Ember."

Archbishop Anthony appeared beside Yu Jin at some point. He whispered, "The goddess asked me to tell you that the world is completely different now than it was before. You may need some time to adapt to all these changes."

"..."

Yu Jin did not reply, his eyes swept over the people who were praying with their heads bowed.

Then he nodded silently again.

Turned around and walked back to the restaurant.

"Mr. Ember."

Archbishop Anthony spoke slowly, but was quickly interrupted by the embers.

"ember."

"Okay, Ember."

Archbishop Anthony was not annoyed, but just smiled and nodded, "In order to help you adapt to this world better, I have prepared a set of identities for you, one of which is the Night Watchman of the Church of the Night." "Next, you can report to the headquarters of the Backlund Night Watchmen. The address is at the Backlund Detective Agency behind the church, and find a man named Al Hassan. After reporting, you don't have to rush back to the church, you can go around."

"By the way, your current identity is Ash Black."

After a pause, Archbishop Anthony added, "You can use this identity to collect clues about the Black Emperor. In addition, this is your operating expenses, a total of one hundred gold pounds."

After saying that, Anthony handed Yu Jin ten banknotes with ten-denomination notes written on them.

"Gold pounds?"

Yu Jin suddenly asked, "Currency? Can't we buy it with souls?"

"All transactions in Backlund are conducted in gold pounds."

Anthony shook his head, his meaning was very clear -

He doesn't know what soul is.

"at last."

Anthony looked at the armor on Yu Jin and said, "If possible, you'd better change your clothes. Yes, the same as those believers in the hall."

Ember thought about it and decided to follow Anthony's advice.

After just a moment's pause, the knight suit on his body instantly disappeared.

Instead, there was a black and brown Undead Squad suit.

Although it is still leather armor, Ember feels at least a little more low-key.

"The helmet can be removed."

Anthony's eyes were filled with surprise. He didn't even notice how Yu Jin did all this.

But he was a demigod after all, so he reacted quickly, glanced at the pointed triangular iron helmet on Ember's head, and gave advice again.

"so?"

Yu Jin took off his veil, revealing his handsome face again, and asked.

"Yes."

Anthony smiled and nodded. "You are free to move around. If you have any questions, you are welcome to consult me ​​at any time."

Yu Jin nodded slightly, turned around silently and walked towards the hall again.

At this time, the believers in the hall had finished their prayers.

Their eyes fell on Yu Jin, who was wearing strange clothes, but they did not pay too much attention to him, just thinking that he was an unconventional nobleman.

Afterwards, they lined up and walked towards the altar, throwing gold pounds into the offering box next to the altar.

Ember looked away, turned and walked out of the church door.

The moment he walked out of the door, the dazzling and warm sunlight shone on him.

Yu Jin subconsciously raised his head and looked at the sun above his head.

“It’s really completely different.”

Yu Jin looked at the bustling crowd on the street and murmured softly.

In the world of Dark Soul, there are not so many living people, nor such a bright sun.

Rather, this made Yu Jin suspicious.

Is there really a need to pass on fire in this world?

Yu Jin didn't know, but he decided to complete the task first.

Search for 'Backlund Detective Agency'.

"On the back?"

Yu Jin turned his head to look at St. Samuel's Church, and then identified the direction.

Follow the crowd to the right.

Soon, he successfully found a path that turned right and passed through it without any hindrance.

Three minutes later.

When Yu Jin stood in front of the door of the Backlund Detective Agency, his expression was full of suspicion.

It was as if he had encountered something that broke his cognition——

“There’s no need to take a detour or a shortcut? What’s wrong with this world?”
