Chapter 128: Veterans Guild**
"?·Baxter."
Shen Ye asked as he couldn't help himself: "Why a question mark? Is there an Undead named question mark?"
The giant Skeleton said: "These are three brothers from a vampire family. Due to causing trouble and having no money to live, they were kicked out of the family and sent to the battlefield. In the end, they were all bombed and turned into ashes by a magical crystal cannon from the Human Race."
Shen Ye asked: "That's really tragic—but what does this question mark mean?"
The giant Skeleton said: "The meaning is that these three look very similar, and their names are almost the same, and it is impossible to distinguish who is the older brother and who is the younger brother."
"—Do they have a family?"
"They have a family, but they are not successful. They must have all died in their area."
"Three brothers...that's good, but aren't they dead? Doesn't the Undead army have records?"
"Regarding this matter, I remember I told you before—"
Shen Ye suddenly understood and continued the giant Skeleton's words:
"For Undead who have not died, they are usually left outside. If they survive, they have survived."
The giant Skeleton said: "Yes, that's the case! Vampires have tenacious life force, so it is common for them to return to life after ten days or half a month."
Shen Ye asked worriedly: "So what if these three brothers survived?"
The giant Skeleton said: "They won't. I saw that shell with my own eyes—the three brothers turned into ashes—and the entire unit was wiped out—in fact, I was injured in that shelling, and then I met you."
"How do I use it?"
"Wait—"
Some green soul fire appeared on the identity plate.
The soul fire quickly disappeared.
The giant Skeleton said: "It's done, it's bound to your soul—don't be surprised, as the heir of an Undead god, I am skilled in the arts of army control."
Shen Ye was relieved now, took that identity plate, and began to play with it.
After a short while.
Several huge, ugly beings began to check identities row by row.
An ugly being came to Shen Ye, took that identity plate, and muttered:
"A coward who fled from the battlefield..."
Shen Ye said: "Speak respectfully, the Baxter family is not easy to mess with."
"But you fled from the battlefield."
The ugly being said with its green eyes and a contemptuous tone.
The giant Skeleton said in a low voice: "Don't bother with him, bear with it for now and it will pass, don't cause trouble."
Shen Ye slowly got up, stared at the ugly being, and said:
"My body was shattered by a Human Race cannon. After I woke up, I couldn't find my unit, and I heard that the army had already withdrawn, so I wanted to return to Evernight City. And what about you? Did you go to the battlefield?"
The ugly being stared at him.
He did not retreat at all.
Several other ugly beings gathered around him.
"Do you want to fight?"
Shen Ye smiled coldly.
The train suddenly began to slow down.
Gradually, the train stopped.
Those ugly beings no longer surrounded Shen Ye, but each found a corner and stayed there to rest.
"Come and hit me if you're a man."
An ugly being made a provocative gesture towards Shen Ye.
Shen Ye looked at the other party with a blank expression, until the other party withdrew his hand in disappointment.
An illusionary shadow appeared at the end of the carriage.
At this moment.
A night ghost spirit wearing a formal uniform appeared in the carriage.
Even by the standards of the Undead clan, she could be considered beautiful.
This ghostly spirit had an apologetic smile on her face and generously waved to all the passengers:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm very sorry—"
"There was a mistake in the broadcast just now, and the wrong content was broadcast."
"We have now arrived safely in Evernight City."
"Please everyone get off the train."
As she spoke, a bone demon responsible for cleaning came out from behind her, holding cleaning tools, and walked towards the various seats.
A demonic lizard man asked: "Have we arrived so quickly?"
The night ghost spirit smiled sweetly: "Don't underestimate the speed of the ghost train. Evernight City station is outside. Please everyone get off the train in an orderly manner. We will return soon."
The demonic lizard man raised the window.
Evernight City was indeed outside, and the various buildings were towering, and the atmosphere was lively.
"This is much faster than flying myself."
The demonic lizard man sighed, got up, crossed the aisle, and got off the train.
Some passengers got off one after another.
That night ghostly spirit was constantly counting the people, and her gaze was constantly directed into the carriage.
Until the entire carriage was empty.
She suddenly asked: "Sir vampire, is your destination not Evernight City?"
Shen Ye said: "No."
—Only he was left in the carriage.
The night ghost spirit said, tilting her head and looking at him: "Then where exactly are you going?"
Shen Ye said lazily: "Through Kyrgyzstan, to the distant Mauritius, then from the Maldives to Qiqihar, then to the Greater Khingan Mountains, along Buenos Aires forward, until I see Venice, then I'll get off at the Qianqing Palace."
The windows closed.
So we must still be in hell now?
The night ghostly spirit froze, her gaze moved up and down, and finally settled on that soldier's identity plate.
The night ghostly spirit asked: "...You...came from the battlefield?"
Shen Ye said as he showed his soldier's identity plate: "Yes, I killed a lot of enemies, but I fell into a deep slumber due to an artillery shell, but I woke up today."
The night ghostly spirit thought for several breaths, then suddenly smiled:
"Then you have to pay an extra ticket. The next journey will cost two hundred Bone Coins."
Shen Ye said: "That can be done."
He didn't even ask anything and paid the bill directly.
The night ghostly spirit counted the Bone Coins, nodded with satisfaction, and got off the train.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
The train began to move slowly.
Its speed gradually increased, as if everything was returning to its proper course.
Shen Ye asked calmly at this time:
"You've never ridden the train before, right?"
The giant Skeleton said strangely: "No, wait, why didn't we get off the train? And we gave so much money? Are we really going to the Qianqing Palace?"
Shen Ye said: "I don't want to bother answering you, you're just a rookie."
He got up, looked at the corner of the carriage, and pointed to the ugly being who had provoked him just now:
"Hey, I've accepted your kindness!"
The ugly being smiled a terrifyingly evil smile at him and raised his thumb high:
"Have a good trip, vampire!"
Shen Ye sat down again, a smile on his face too.
The giant Skeleton said, not understanding: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Shen Ye said: "Fool, fortunately I came—he provoked me just now, hoping that anger would blind me, and I wouldn't get off the train."
"Why not get off the train?"
"Outside is the first layer of hell."
"Wha—"
The giant Skeleton's voice was cut off, and after a long time it sounded again:
"So if you go out, you die and become a living dead slave in the first layer of hell, right?"
"Yes."
"And that fare was only the fare to reach the first layer of hell, so money had to be paid again later?"
Shen Ye said: "That's right."
At this moment, another blonde woman pushing a small cart entered the carriage.
"Fresh entrails—"
"Brains, kidneys, spiced intestines!"
She shouted as she walked.
Shen Ye pointed to the blonde woman: "Excuse me, please push the cart over there and let my ugly brothers take what they want. I'll pay."
The blonde woman smiled: "Okay." and pushed the small cart directly through the empty carriage and came in front of the ugly beings.
An ugly being said in a booming voice: "The brother is so nice."
"You are so nice, take what you want to eat. This is just a small expression of my gratitude."
Shen Ye said.
The ugly being in the lead said: "Haha, then thank you very much."
They were really not polite.
—Until the ghost train reached the real Evernight City station, they were still eating.
"No need for the change."
Shen Ye asked for the price, took out dozens of Bone Coins, placed them on the table, and then walked towards the train door.
The leader of the ugly beings said while eating: "Young vampire, take this—if you can't stay in Evernight City, use this thing." and threw something.
Shen Ye caught it in his hand and looked.
It was an eyeball missing half of it, and when you flip it, a line of small characters appears in the eyeball:
"Seventh Veterans Guild identification certificate, ugly eyeball."
Shen Ye raised his head, looked at that ugly being, and asked loudly:
"Did you go to the battlefield too?"
The ugly being said: "Of course, it's not easy to come back alive, vampire."
So that's how it is.
The other party saw that I came from the battlefield, so he decided to help me.
It seems that in any world, the strongest relationship between men is that they have studied together and carried guns together.
—Even if they haven't carried guns together, just mutual sympathy will lead to extending a helping hand.
"Thank you, uncles! I'll treat you to a drink next time!"
Shen Ye put the things away, thanked them again, and stepped out of the ghost carriage.
"Where are we going now?"
The giant Skeleton asked.
The giant Skeleton said: "Of course we're going to the auction house. You have a lot of Bone Coins. You can completely help me buy all the materials, and this way I can cast that art to go to hell."
Shen Ye said hesitantly: "Are we really going to hell like this?"
The giant Skeleton said in an unsure tone: "...I don't know."
The two were silent for a moment.
After what happened just now, neither of them had confidence.
Shen Ye said firmly: "We'll change the plan of action."
The giant Skeleton asked: "How do we change it?"
Shen Ye said: "From now on, I am Baxter. I will work in Evernight City with his identity—this is to protect us, and on this basis, we will think of a way to go to hell."
The giant Skeleton said: "Okay...but where do we go now?"
Shen Ye said: "Veterans Guild."
Ten minutes later.
The two stood in front of the counter of the Veterans Guild.
That ugly eyeball had been handed in as a token, along with the soldier's identity plate.
At the head of the counter was still a night ghost spirit.
A beautiful blonde woman with wavy hair.
—This race has a good appearance, high perception, and it is very easy to find work.
While waiting, Shen Ye asked the giant Skeleton:
"How many types of existence are there in your Undead clan?"
"Too many, it can't be said clearly in a moment. Anyway, just remember the three basic types—"
"Pale Shadows are all non-human beings, of the type of corpses that transform after death, and of the type of shadow beasts;"
"Soul-Forged Holy Bones are bone beings, like me, and like the bone dragon, even the necromancer belongs to this category;"
"Dark Roses are all human Undead, like this beautiful night ghostly spirit in front of you, and also the horror witch, the vampire, the lich, and the werewolf."
At this moment, that hostess placed a small plate on the counter.
"Go, young vampire, enter through door number three."
"Thank you very much."
Shen Ye took the plate, walked forward, and soon saw door number three.
There was a long line outside the door.
He waited for a while until it was Shen Ye's turn.
He pushed the door and entered.
He saw a middle-aged human man sitting inside, wearing a long coat, a hat, his face was gray, and a deathly aura emanated from his body.
The giant Skeleton warned: "A necromancer."
Shen Ye asked: "Why is a necromancer considered a bone being?"
The giant Skeleton said: "I don't know. Anyway, casting a bone spear at the beginning is a necromancer's fighting style, and their weapon is also a bone staff."
The necromancer said: "Welcome, young soldier."
Shen Ye bowed slightly: "Hello, respected necromancer."
"I have checked your information, and the news from the battlefield also matches. You are indeed a brave warrior..."
"So what kind of work are you looking for?"
Shen Ye froze.
Is this place for arranging work for veterans?
Then I'll go—
Wait!
If work is arranged, won't my identity be whitened, and I can appear in Evernight City, and I won't have to worry about being pursued anymore?
When he thought of that, Shen Ye showed a sincere smile:
"As long as it's suitable for vampires, I can do anything."
