Cemetery No. 10086 and Cemetery No. 18703 are not too far apart.

Grave-Sweeping Squad After walking for about ten minutes, we arrived at our destination.

A tomb made of concrete, painted white on the outside.

But the top of the tomb is not the cross that is common in Western tombs, but a metal airplane model.

In front of the tomb is a black tombstone.

Liu Zheng looked at the tombstone from a distance and slowed down his pace.

"What for?"

Vampire Girl asked strangely.

"I'm thinking about a more stylish way to escape later."

He said casually.

"Isn't it just a grave visit? With us protecting you, what are you afraid of?"

Vampire Girl straightened out her mediocre little chest and said.

"Just you?"

Liu Zheng looked at her head, which only reached her waist, and then looked at Nightingale and Sea Woman, who looked weak.

Not to mention Red Pig who can make Cow-Horse dare not come to visit their graves, Calico Cat might even be able to defeat them together.

"Pull him down. If you don't use me as a human shield when we fight later, it means you have learned a little bit of humanity."

He rolled his eyes and walked towards Cemetery No. 10086.

When I walked to the tombstone, I saw offerings already laid out on the ground.

The packaging looks normal and does not reflect any of the characteristics of Cemetery.

Liu Zheng rolled up the bottle of red wine and shook it gently. A Bronze Rune Nail engraved with talismans was faintly visible in the wine.

Okay, it's quite unique.

He looked at the tombstone and saw a huge pig's head taking up most of the photo.

However, compared to Oink, this Red Pig looks much more amiable, and it feels like he is celebrating the New Year.

Wearing a pair of sunglasses, a bowler hat, a red tie, a small suit, and two upturned mustaches.

If Oink looks like a ruthless man full of accidents, Red Pig looks like a gentleman with a lot of stories.

He looked at the tomb owner's information again.

"Name: Red Pig"

"Cause of death: Shot"

"Crime: Illegal flying of an aircraft over Borderlands"

There are several paragraphs of text below, but they are all covered with black paint and cannot be seen.

Liu Zheng looked at the tombstone and was speechless.

Good guy, I just learned about Borderlands from Cow-Horse, and I saw a ruthless man who dared to steal Borderlands.

However, he was still buried in Cemetery after being shot. It seems that City Hall is quite humane.

He unpacked the cakes and pizzas, took out the cork of the red wine, and placed them all under the tombstone, facing the photo.

"Mr. Red Pig, I am Deliveryman Liu Zheng from Bloodstained Restaurant. They are my friends. We are helping Cow-Horse to visit your grave."

"I don't know what you like, so I bought a B-level package. It's a bit crude, but I hope you won't dislike it."

"I wish you a soul as strong as the East Sea, a soul as strong as Nanshan Mountain, and eternal peace under the nine springs."

Liu Zheng finished his auspicious words and looked at the red wine a little hesitantly.

In reality, this bottle of wine would either fall on the ground or on the tombstone.

But the soul of Red Pig is still there, so it seems a bit inappropriate to do this.

After thinking about it, he decided to leave it alone.

"Let's go."

Liu Zheng turned around and said to the three Nightingale.

But when he turned around, he saw the expressions of the three of them as if they had seen a ghost.

He turned back stiffly, and sure enough he saw a Pig-headed Man in a suit leaning out of the tomb, looking at him with his arms folded.

"You said you are here to help Cow-Horse?"

Red Pig asked in a calm tone.

"Really?"

Liu Zheng wants to slap himself twice.

This guy was most likely picked out by the name Cow-Horse.

"Yes or no?"

"That's right, I am Cow-Horse's younger brother. He sent me to visit your grave."

He risked his life.

"Why doesn't it come by itself?"

Red Pig asked.

"It's afraid you'll beat it."

Liu Zheng said bluntly.

"Do you know why I beat it?"

Red Pig sneered.

"I don't know, and I don't want to know either."

He shook his head.

He knows enough secrets, who knows which one is the straw that breaks the camel's back.

"But I still have to tell you, otherwise it would be too unfair for you to be beaten to death by me."

Red Pig shook his head.

"Then tell me, do you want a glass of wine first?"

Liu Zheng raised his glass.

"You seem to be suddenly not afraid anymore."

Red Pig looked at him with interest.

It could smell the smell of fear on living people, but the smell on the human being in front of it suddenly disappeared.

"Fear comes from the unknown. Since you have decided to cause trouble for me, then there is nothing to be afraid of. It's just a fight to the death."

Liu Zheng said calmly.

"It's interesting. Let's chat over a drink. Are the three beautiful ladies over there willing to have a drink with me?"

Red Pig sent an invitation to Nightingale.

It seems that the information about Cow-Horse is correct, it is relatively friendly to females.

"Okay."

Nightingale took Sea Woman's hand generously and came to the tomb.

She could feel that the ghost in front of her was very powerful, but she was confident that she would have no problem escaping.

Vampire Girl also jumped to Liu Zheng's side.

Although she is not as strong as Nightingale, Cemetery is her home court and she will definitely not die if she dies.

Of course, it is beyond our power to protect Liu Zheng.

"Ladies, please wait a moment."

Red Pig retracted into the tomb, and came out again after a moment, holding five goblets in his hand.

"Give me the wine."

It took the red wine from Liu Zheng's hand and poured one-third into each goblet.

"Please. This wine has a unique flavor. Don't drink too much on your first sip, especially this Miss Blood Clan."

Red Pig distributed the goblets to everyone one by one.

His tone was gentle, his movements were gentle, and he didn't look irritable at all.

Liu Zheng followed the instructions and took a sip. The sweet wine slid into his mouth and wet his tongue.

Then, a thick coppery smell overwhelmed his taste buds.

He felt that his brain was also suppressed by the smell of copper rust, and he could hardly think.

Liu Zheng shook his head violently, and it took a while to get rid of that bad feeling.

He looked at the others, who had almost the same expression.

Vampire Girl directly cosplayed the statue on the spot, and it looked like he wouldn't be able to wake up for a while.

But I didn't expect her to fight, so it wasn't a big problem.

"The story begins one night three years ago."

Red Pig put down the wine glass and said.

"Oh, it's begun."

Liu Zheng lamented in his heart, but his face showed that he really wanted to hear it.

"The small plane I was flying crashed that day and crashed into a forest."

"I escaped by chance and walked along the path, trying to find someone for help, but ended up walking into a tunnel."

"Huh?"

He felt like he had heard this prelude somewhere.

Red Pig ignored Liu Zheng's fuss and continued.

"After passing through the tunnel, I came to a strange world. It was a lively and bustling Bathhouse Street."

"I was enthusiastically invited in by the staff there, who provided me with countless delicacies that even Bloodstained Restaurant can't compare to, and they were all free."

This sounds even more damn familiar. Don't think that since you are the same director, you can just mix up the plot.

"Let me guess, you turned into a pig after eating that food?"

Liu Zheng said with empty eyes.

"That's right, I've been put in a pig pen and will be fattened for a few days before being released."

"But the girl who was looking after the pig pen couldn't bear it and stole the medicine to lift the curse and gave it to me. Unfortunately, she was discovered on the way and half of it was taken away, so I still look like a pig."

"She wanted me to run away alone, but how could I possibly do such a thing?"

"So I took her and escaped from Fishery Street and fled to my plane."

"Fortunately, I successfully repaired the plane and took her out of the forest and back to Metropolis."

Red Pig said.

It turns out that this weird city is called Metropolis, which sounds quite cool.

Liu Zheng's heart.

"After I came back, I arranged for her to work as a support officer at my flight school."

"A month later, I confessed my love to her and she agreed."

"Three months later, she proposed to me and I said yes."

No, will you wait a moment?

Forget it, it's okay, you continue.

"Six months later, we are going to have a child. I work harder to create better conditions for our child."

"But, misfortune struck."

Red Pig's tone changed from warm to heavy.

"She suddenly became ill, and her condition worsened quickly. In less than a month, she couldn't even stand up."

"I have tried many ways and asked many people to help, but there is no way to cure her."

"Finally, I found out through a connection that her race moved in from abroad, and after they moved in, they had this genetic disease."

"I think if I can bring her back to her hometown, maybe she can be cured without medicine."

"So I flew my beloved plane, took my beloved woman on a Blood Moon Night, and flew over Borderlands."

"But the next second I flew over Borderlands, I was shot down by the Border Management Bureau's anti-aircraft gun."

"Do you know why?"

Red Pig stared at Liu Zheng and asked.

"Isn't it Cow-Horse who betrayed you?"

He said with some guilt.

Although Cow-Horse is not a great villain, he is not a good person either.

If the price is high enough, it may not be able to maintain its loyalty.

"That's not true."

Red Pig shook his head and said.

"Huh, that's good."

If Cow-Horse really did such a thing, then its reputation value will be lowered.

"But its behavior is even more unforgivable than betraying me."

Red Pig's face became gloomy, and a sinister wind gradually blew around him.

"What did it do?"

"Before I set off, I gave most of my property to Cow-Horse and told him that if we were caught, he would help me save my wife's soul and bury her in Cemetery."

"But when I woke up from the chaos, what I saw was my own tombstone!"

"Cow-Horse! Why didn't you keep your promise?!"

"Cow-Horse! I trust you so much, why didn't you even fulfill my last wish?!"

"Cow-Horse! Chihaya is not here at all Cemetery, where did you hide her?!"

Red Pig's tone became more and more irritable, and finally turned into a roar.

In his sight, everything became blurred, and there was only a figure standing in front of him.

And that figure is not Liu Zheng, but Cow-Horse.

"Cow-Horse! Give me back Chihaya!"

Red Pig threw a furious and desperate punch at Cow-Horse in front of him.
