After a short walk along the tunnel where the explosion appeared, we went inside a tunnel that looked like it was artificially polished.
Turner walked up to where the wall was and then touched the top of it.
"Strange..."
He said to himself.
"This grinding... it doesn't look like it's for the living..."
"A living person?"
"Yeah... I also used to explore the western deadlands with a gravedigger, where a number of people had died out inside the city, but before they died, they built all sorts of large cemeteries there, probably hoping to have a better life after their own death. Well, when we got there, we were trapped in a dead city by some beasts, and we escaped through the cemetery tunnel they built, which took us a long time to get out. That's the way those walls were polished back then."
"In other words, we are now inside the cemetery?"
Alexia laughed.
"Isn't this similar to our hospital morgue?"
"Not at all the same, okay?"
I laughed bitterly.
"It's a permanent morgue, and the average person who comes in here can't get out."
I looked down the dark tunnel and then to Turner.
"I didn't think we'd accidentally become grave robbers, but who of you has a L.A. Shovel?"
"What's that?"
Everyone looked confused and I let me embarrass myself a bit.
"So you're still in the habit of reading novels, huh?"
Instead, Ms. Mary responded immediately.
"But that was a popular book a long time ago, wasn't it? Where did you find it?"
"Online, right? I don't remember very well either."
A long time ago? Why do I think it's a book from not too long ago?
Probably why people like me often don't take their time seriously, right?
"Then Mr. Turner must be pretty experienced with places like this? Then I'll let you lead the way on this stretch?"
"This..."
The other looked at us and smiled.
"It's not like I'm putting it off, you know I was also led by someone else before, I only know a little bit about this kind of place."
"I say don't be an inkling, you know this cemetery is the place that made Ryudu come, if we don't hurry, the people behind us will catch up, and then we won't be the only ones to suffer."
"Er..."
Turner's brow furrowed and he didn't know what to think, then he nodded.
"Okay, let's go. But I can't make sure where it's right. Like I said, I'm really only half a bucket of water."
"All right, all right, I know."
With that, Turner turned around and walked ahead. And the rest of us followed, heading straight into the depths of the tunnel.
As we walked, I started to feel a little strange.
Usually, cemeteries don't make their passageways too big; after all, he didn't intend for people to enter or leave when he designed them.
However, the passage in front of us was different, it was quite narrow at first, and after we walked for quite some time, it slowly started to get bigger.
Just as I was about to ask something, Turner suddenly stopped.
"Hey... you..."
I was about to ask something when all of a sudden the island next to me was slashing at the wall!
The slashing was still quiet, but after a while, dark green blood flowed out from where we had just slashed, while a slimy creature that looked like a Slime slid down the wall.
I can't believe I didn't notice a beast here? Isn't that a great hiding power?
"Well, even the disgusting beasts in the district tried to sneak up on us, but unfortunately they couldn't escape my eyes."
"Strange? Isn't that Slime?"
Next to him, Samesh asked with a questioning tone.
"Isn't this creature unkillable with physical attacks?"
"You know this is a Slime, Miss, and it seems to be someone who walks in the woods often. You're right, it is indeed a Slime, but it's not a normal Slime, it's an 'anamorphic Slime'. He can use the same Slime skills as a Slime, but it also has an additional mimetic ability over a Slime that allows it to blend in with its surroundings and then disappear its breath. That way, they can sneak up on incoming humans."
"So you're..."
"That's why I can kill it."
Sea Island said with a smile.
"Because the mimetic has to manifest the mimetic state as well, so sometimes the other party will appear as a solid state, and that's when attacking the other party's already hardened core can kill it."
"Actually, if you say so much, an ice magic can turn it into ice and then shatter it with a single knock."
Mary-sensei said rudely.
Hey, why are you so rude, I was just about to say.
Sea Island laughed and put away the knife.
"Well, everyone's pretty bored anyway..."
And just then, a scream suddenly came from the distance.
From the sound, it seemed to be coming from behind us.
"Oh no, someone's already in!"
Alexia said.
"I just put a potion in the doorway that will blind people for a short time, and the sound just now probably means someone's been hit. That also means the opposition isn't far off."
"Move!"
We were busy saying to Turner.
"This way!"
Turner pushed open the door that had been revealed after Slime had fallen.
"If you don't leave, you'll be caught up."
