By the lakeside, five valuable and important corpses were loaded onto the Corpse Transport Cart.
"Follow me, you two..."
Lame Field limped ahead to lead the way, with the two of them following behind.
After rounding a stretch of muddy road paved with stones, they saw an incinerator with a towering but inactive chimney, along with the Administrator's adjacent house.
As the two stepped into the house, a large amount of ice water splashed up beneath their feet.
Looking down, they saw that the floor was actually covered in a layer of water. No wonder the old man wore rain boots every day.
"Don't mind it. This water comes from the Cold Lake. If the water inside the house becomes murky or its temperature changes, I can detect and deal with abnormalities in the Cold Lake immediately."

"There's no relocation here. The Cemetery depends on the Cold Lake for its existence and can't be moved elsewhere.
"These old bones of mine can't continue managing the Cemetery for much longer
