In the south of Hehu Town, a desolate place.

This place is far from the Bain River and is also a distance from the Tower of Black. The sparse population makes weeds spread everywhere, but the Holt cemetery is built on this desolate land.

Unlike the irritable and chaotic gray dwarfs and the vicious black elves, the Holts are the most orderly race in the underground world.

At least they also know how to bury the dead. According to the customs of the Holts, the dead who were buried will have better fate when they pass away. Therefore, no matter how evil the Holts in Hehu Town committed during their lifetime, they will bury them here as the same clan.

The dark light hits from above, and all the above spaces in this area are gray crystals. The light emitted by this crystal is the dimest of all kinds of crystals, so the atmosphere here also seems particularly cold and desolate.

In the tall pile of weeds, a hand suddenly stretched out and opened the tall weeds of a person.

Lance walked out of the haystack and looked down at the traces.

"It seems that someone has just walked through this road recently. There are quite a few Holts who have died recently, and it is really troublesome to find them one by one."

This is his fourth hour of working in the cemetery.

Within four hours, he searched for hundreds of new tombs of the Holts, but he couldn't find the person he was looking for. He had no choice but to know that it was him who caused this situation, and he couldn't blame anyone at the moment, so he could only calm down and continue searching.

"Blackbeard said that Zhan Funi will not die. No matter what kind of trauma her body is, she will be reborn within a certain period of time - this is a fucking curse? Continuous rebirth is simply a powerful ability, okay?"

Lance secretly complained in his heart.

His purpose was to find the Holts to bury her tomb before Jenfoni was reborn.

He always had a special premonition in his heart. This unique girl seemed to have hidden something.

"She asked me to find Blackbeard, probably because she knew that Blackbeard's blood was not enough to successfully translate the entire notebook." Lance thought quietly: "But why did she do this? She hated me to the core, and she definitely didn't have the kindness to take the initiative to help me."

"I originally thought it was because people were about to die and their words were kind. But she told me the whereabouts of Blackbeard when she knew she would not die. Her intention was really weird. But I have moved Blackbeard to another safe place. I believe she should not be able to do anything."

Lance was a little puzzled by Zhan Funi's various actions.

The human hearts in the underground world are far more sinister than the surface. Lance has just been betrayed once by the honest lizard man. He will no longer trust others easily.

Through layers of weeds, Lance came to a brand new cemetery. The annoying weeds were more than one person tall, which could completely block Lance's view.

It is precisely because of these weeds among the Holts that can protect the soul's ship of rebirth that Lance was so troublesome. Otherwise, with the power of black bats and hawkeye, he would have found Zhan Funi's tomb long ago.

At the beginning, Lance even wanted to burn the weeds with fire. But vaguely. When he had this idea, he immediately sensed that there seemed to be a wave of power in the cemetery.

Although the power was obscure, it was powerful enough that Lance immediately gave up his plan to use the Hand of the Vulcan in the Holt's cemetery.

He didn't want to have many troubles at this gate, especially when it was not far from the Black Tower. If those members intervened, Lance would be in trouble.

"Let's look for graves one by one."

With this idea, he came and went in front of the tombstones.

Finally, half a quarter of an hour later, his steps stopped.

[The Tomb of Jen Funi Ellen]

A brand new standard tombstone stands quietly on the grave, and her father is Carter Ellenin.

"I finally found you."

A smile appeared on the corner of Lance's mouth. He suddenly took out a shovel and dug down Zhan Funi's grave.

...

A piece of loess was shoveled away by a huge shovel. The thick mud bun gradually collapsed, and finally a thin layer of soil was exposed.

Lance's power is far beyond ordinary people. Therefore, it is also very efficient in digging graves.

In just over a dozen minutes, a small earthblock was hollowed out by him in one breath.

"Clang!"

The crisp metal sound from the shovel made Lance's eyes lit up.

Holt people believe that steel can protect the dead souls from being swallowed by creatures from other worlds, so all coffins are made of iron tools.

He threw the shovel aside, pulled the soil away, and indeed exposed the uppermost layer of the coffin.

Just as he was about to continue digging, a cold voice suddenly rang behind him: "Everyone is dead, why do you want to find her?"

Lance was suddenly shocked. Who could sneak up behind him?

He turned around, but found that behind him was empty!

"You can't see me because I'm a wandering soul." The female voice continued: "You can choose to let people see it, or not."

As soon as the words were finished, a cold wind blew and a translucent wandering soul appeared in front of Lance.

"Janfuni?" Lance tentatively.

"Mr. Lance, I didn't realize that you still have the identity of the God of Death agent." Zhan Funi's wandering soul said sarcastically: "I could have been reborn long ago, but my mark of death has been deprived of it by you, and the order of life and death cannot be balanced, so I have failed to resurrection three times in a row."

"Haha..." Lance laughed dryly. He had already realized this when he heard Blackbeard say it before.

Although Zhan Funi can be reborn infinitely, there is only one mark of death. When she dies, she is automatically absorbed by [MGM's Appreciation], which may affect her rebirth.

Now it seems that this is true.

"But don't be proud. The curse I was subjected to is very special. It can be resurrected not only at the physical level, but also at the soul level. Soon, I will be able to condense a mark of death again." Zhan Funi said coldly: "Your identity as a death agent will not work for me."

"Since you are infinitely reborn, why are you afraid of death?" Lance did not get angry, but raised this question.

"Didn't Blackbeard tell you? This is a curse. You should be very clear about what a curse is, right?"

Zhan Funi said with some pain: "Of course I am afraid of death, because I am reborn, although I am still Zhan Funi and still have a certain memory, but I am no longer the me now."

"My personality will change tremendously. My body must also re-fusion with a brand new biological bloodline. The person who was reborn is actually not exactly the same as me now."

"So that's it." Lance nodded. He was quite curious about the curse.

But this time, before he could speak, Zhan Funi took the lead:

"So, you should understand the purpose of my appearance."

Lance pondered: "If the mark of death condenses quickly, then there will be less time for you."

"Correct." Zhan Funi nodded in pain: "Since you are here, it proves that you are indeed interested in the steel maze. You mentioned a deal before, and I was not interested in that deal, but now, I want to mention another deal."

"Tell me, look."

"After I resurrected, I will provide my blood to help you translate Sort's notebook. With the fat man in Blackbeard, and with my help, it is definitely enough to translate the contents of the notebook. But as far as I know, the contents on the notebook only record the key points of the first eight layers and the secrets of the ninth layer, and I only know the secrets of the ninth layer. This is the bargaining chip for me to cooperate with you." Youhun talked: "I want to enter the steel maze with you and challenge the steel tower. I don't know this transaction. Are you interested?"

"What do you want to get," Lance asked back.

"My purpose is very simple, that is, to get something - the [Witch's Tears] left by Master William on the ninth floor of the Tower of Steel."

Zhan Funi said softly: "That thing is the goal that my father and I have fought for the rest of my life."

"I don't want any other things."

...

"【Witch's Tears】, what is that?"

In the potion master's hut, Bonnie asked blankly.

"A thing to break the curse of the witch." Miliani replied very simply: "This time I returned to this ghost place to get the witch's tears on the ninth floor of the Tower of Steel. This is very important to our organization."

"The witch's curse?"

"Yes. The curse of the twelve witches can be cracked." Mileni said: "In the underground world, there is a branch of the Holts called the Hani tribe. There are many geniuses in this race, but they often carry fearful curses. If you can get this thing, then for our Midnight Secret Club, you can control those Hani geniuses more conveniently."

"So the maze will open a week later, and I will definitely go in. During the period when I am not here, you are not allowed to leave this courtyard, do you understand?"

In the last sentence, Miliani's tone was quite stern.

"Well, I understand." Bonnie replied docilely. Her head was buried very low, making it impossible to see her eyes.

...

"That thing can break the curse of your Hani clan?" Lance felt a little relieved.

If what Zhan Funi said is true, everything will be explained.

Sort's grandfather is a Hani tribe. He must have entered the steel maze to get the tears of the witch; but he failed, so he left a notebook, and only the Hani tribe can truly get the essence of the notebook. And Zhan Funi also wanted to get rid of the painful curse of constant rebirth, so it is understandable to pursue the tears of the witch.

"In fact, as long as one Hani people took the tears of the witch, the curse of our entire race will be eliminated."

Zhan Funi said quietly: "But no one has been able to do this for so many years."

"The witch who cursed us hated us so much that she gave such a curse on our entire race."

"Who do you mean of the twelve witches?"

Lance felt that things were getting more and more complicated, and he actually had something to do with Takaren.

"The previous generation of Night Witch, her name is very simple, Irene."
