Chapter 823: Chapter 820 “Forgery

Although theoretically, anomaly 077 is not a normal “dead person,” everyone felt it was worth a try—at least they should try.

So, about ten minutes later, a sailor who was slacking off in a corner of the lower deck was startled awake by a torrent of hasty and chaotic footsteps. He opened his eyes to see the captain leading all the crew rushing over. Before he could react, Fenna dashed forward and hoisted the dry corpse up by his collar.

The sailor had never seen such a scene. As he was lifted by Fenna, and felt the intense (yet hopeful) gazes converging on him, he trembled down to his molars, shrinking his neck and trying to hide backward: “I…I was just snoozing for a bit, that shouldn’t violate the crew’s code, right? And even if it does, you all can’t just beat me up for it, can you?”

“Don’t snooze now, you can’t sleep anyway,” Duncan came forward from behind the crowd, sizing up anomaly 077, “We have some serious business for you.”

“Serious business?” The sailor was stunned and then realized that the gazes around him might not be murderous. He straightened up and adjusted his clothes while warily watching Fenna’s next move (still worried that the sturdy beauty might accidentally crush his bones) and asked out of curiosity, “What serious business? Haven’t we just arrived at the node of the god of death? Are we setting sail back already?”

Duncan waved his hand, cutting to the chase: “It’s because we have arrived at the node of the god of death—we now need a dead person to try and awaken the guide here anew.”

The sailor was puzzled and slow to comprehend, so he turned his pleading eyes to A-dog in the far corner: “…What does that mean?”

“Simply put, with the ‘decay’ of the god of death, the death mechanism of the mortal world has vanished, and without the death mechanism, no more dead will arrive in this wilderness. As a result, the gatekeepers and the path of no return that were once meant to guide the dead are now gone,” A-dog didn’t know why he was asked, but still promptly and patiently explained, “The ‘gate’ of the god of death is hidden in a place that can only be reached through a specific ‘guidance ritual’. We now have to figure out a way to awaken the gatekeeper here anew—in simple terms, we need a dead person.”
