Mystery: The Undead Don't Die from Linking the Fire

Chapter 75 Escaping is shameful, but it's useful.

"The surgery was a success."

Dr. Allen emerged from the operating room, removed his mask, and said to Mr. Onsetin with a sigh of relief, "Little Will's condition is stable, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, there shouldn't be any problems."

"Thank God, you're such a beautiful goddess!"

Mr. Onsetin was overjoyed and excitedly grasped Dr. Allen's hand, "Thank you so much, Dr. Allen! Thank you so much!"

"It looks like the surgery went smoothly?"

Yu Jin saw this but did not go forward to disturb them. Instead, he went to meet Fors, who was also leaving the operating room, and asked her what was going on.

"Of course."

Fors proudly raised her pointed chin, revealing her fair and delicate neck. "It's just a routine minor surgery. If I can't even handle this, then I shouldn't be a doctor."

"But you're not a doctor."

Yu Jin retorted without hesitation, saying calmly, "Besides, I was asking about your digestion progress, not the surgery."

The surgery will certainly be successful.

Even if Fors sabotages the surgery and causes it to fail, Will Oncetin will remain unharmed.

This was beyond doubt, so he wasn't surprised.

"Well enough."

Fors's face fell immediately, and she said weakly, "I can feel that the potion has been digested a little bit. If it continues at this pace, it should be completely digested in less than a month, maybe half a month."

"Not necessarily."

Ember pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "It must have been your assisting Dr. Allen in the surgery that accelerated the digestion process. So if there were a few more surgeries, you might not be without hope of completely digesting the potion within a week."

Before Ember could finish speaking, Fors opened her eyes wide and stared intently at him.

If you want me to die, just say so! Why torture me like this?

Do you think having surgery is a good thing?

Do you think facing a bloody, mangled wound is a good experience?!

However, Ember ignored her and instead went to Dr. Allen, stating that he hoped the doctor would arrange more surgeries for Fors.

Dr. Allen was somewhat surprised, but he didn't refuse and nodded in agreement.

As for Will Onsett, Ember didn't go to see him again.

He was afraid he wouldn't be able to hold back if he kept watching.

……

Four days later, a corner of Raphael's cemetery.

The crowd gathered in front of a new tombstone with a black and white photograph of Klein, a very scholarly-looking photo.

His brother Benson and Leonard, along with two other colleagues, carried his coffin into the grave.

After the pastor's eulogy and everyone's prayers, the soil began to be filled in, and the black coffin was gradually covered.

The grave was filled in, the stone slab was placed on top, and Leonard took one last look at Klein's tombstone, whose epitaph consisted of only one line:

"Priest, please resurrect me, thank you."

Soon, the people who attended the funeral left one after another.

The cemetery has once again fallen silent.

After everyone had left, two figures suddenly appeared in the cemetery.

"team leader."

Leonard whispered, "I want to join the Red Gloves."

"Um."

Dunn nodded gently, his gaze fixed tenderly on Klein's tombstone, and suddenly said, "Let's go to Backlund together in a couple of days."

"Um?"

Leonard looked up in surprise.

"Siga is already Sequence 7, I think she can protect Tingen in my place."

Dunn lowered his head, letting the gloom cloud his eyelids, and said in a deep voice, "As for me, he gave me my life. I'm not a hero, but at least I can avenge him!"

He knew why he was still alive.

Because of that ring.

He also knew that Klein must know what the ring was for, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a big deal out of putting it on himself.

But the result.

He survived, but Klein died.

Dunn knew that the person who should have been lying here was him!

He wouldn't have died if Klein hadn't given him that ring.

He died in my place.

Guilt and remorse filled Dunn's heart.

This made him ashamed to face Klein's family.

He didn't even dare to attend Klein's funeral with them.

"It's us."

Leonard corrected.

The old man had already told Dunn how he survived.

If Klein were still alive, he would surely be compelled to ask about the origin of that ring—

That can't be explained by any family tradition.

The fact that the dead were brought back to life can only be described as a miracle, and even the old man was quite interested in it.

But now, none of that matters anymore.

All he can do now is try to avenge Klein.

The captain wasn't the only one who owed him a life!

Leonard clenched his fists and lowered his head to hide the anger and hatred in his eyes.

"Ince Zangwell!"

Dunn and Leonard stood silently for a long time in front of Klein's tombstone.

They didn't leave the cemetery until nightfall.

What they didn't know was...

Shortly after they left, Azik, with his bronze skin, appeared at Klein's grave with a bouquet of white flowers.

"I'm sorry, I'm ten minutes late."

"But I should know who it is."

Azik remained silent for a long time before finally letting out a soft sigh and muttering to himself.

He bent down to place the white flowers in front of the grave, then turned and left the cemetery, leaving Tingen behind.

The cemetery fell silent once more, with only the crimson moonlight illuminating Klein's grave.

Finally, everyone left.

A pale hand emerged from the soil.

The stone slab was pushed aside, the coffin lid was pushed open, and Klein sat up, looking around blankly.

He knew he had died again, and then he came back to life.

"Eh."

Klein sighed, dusted himself off, and climbed out of his coffin.

Then, feeling guilty, he restored his grave and stood in front of the tombstone, looking at his own grave.

Something feels a little strange.

"What a waste!"

Klein looked at his brand-new tuxedo and then at his meticulously carved tombstone, and felt a pang of grief.

But after the initial heartbreak, he began to reflect on the current situation.

The captain has a ring he gave himself, so he should be fine.

The fact that there is no tombstone for him in the cemetery is good proof of this.

Well, the main evidence was actually the divination that told him the captain was still alive.

In other words, in the end only he died, which is good...

What a load of rubbish!

Klein was speechless.

Everything was supposed to be over, but then some shameless old bastard still sneaked in and took advantage of the situation!

Although I have successfully resurrected, who knows how many more times I can be resurrected?

We dare not test the waters recklessly.

After all, he wasn't an undead like Ember.

Although there was no evidence, he could clearly sense that his resurrection was related to the gray fog.

Besides.

He must leave as soon as possible.

Tingen can't stay here anymore—

The idea of ​​someone dying and coming back to life is not so easy to explain.

Especially those who are dead for several days before suddenly coming back to life.

After all, a normal person's body would be rotting by now, so how could it possibly crawl out of the grave?

Despite the captain's previous experience, Klein still felt it was best not to go back and scare people.

Well, don't test the limits of the Church of the Night.

The captain's resurrection will certainly lead to questioning, but there's still an explanation for his situation—

After all, no one saw him die. Leonard saw it, but he certainly wouldn't betray his captain.

The heart in the urn had long since dissipated, and there was no evidence to prove that Dunn had ever died.

But it's different for me; if I go back, I'm afraid I'll be dissected and studied.

And so.

After careful consideration, Klein made a resolute decision—

run away.

Escaping may be shameful, but it can be useful!
