Chapter 189: The Rose Graveyard

"By the way, it's still early. Should we take a trip to the Rose Graveyard? I think Chen Wenbin and Yoh Asakura might still be there," Yin En suggested, steering the conversation away from their own marriage plans.

"Sure, why not? We don't have anything else to do right now, so let's go to the Rose Graveyard and check it out," Liu Xing agreed with a nod and a smile.

So, Liu Xing and Yin En drove to the Rose Graveyard. In the parking lot outside, they spotted the car belonging to Chen Wenbin and Yoh Asakura.

"It seems like they are indeed at the Rose Graveyard. Let's go in," Yin En said as he locked the car doors.

The Rose Graveyard lived up to its name. As Liu Xing and Yin En entered, they were greeted by countless red roses covering the area, except for the paths created by the visiting tourists. It seemed like the entire Rose Graveyard was overrun by red roses.

"My goodness, there are so many red roses here. It's like they are even denser than weeds in the wilderness. And these roses look almost unnaturally vibrant, like they've been photoshopped," Liu Xing remarked, furrowing his brow.

Yin En nodded and plucked a red rose, saying, "Indeed, but these red roses might have absorbed nutrients from the corpses buried here, just like cherry blossoms. It's January now, and this place is outdoors without greenhouse protection. In theory, red roses shouldn't be in bloom, but here they are. It seems like this Graveyard has buried countless bodies."

As Liu Xing and Yin En walked and talked, they noticed from the signs outside that the Rose Graveyard was divided into two sections. The outer part used to be a chaotic burial ground from ancient times, and the tombstones had been destroyed due to wars and other reasons. This explained what Liu Xing and Yin En sawthe area completely taken over by red roses.

The inner part of the Rose Graveyard belonged to the modern era, similar to other cemeteries. It was situated on a small hill with not only red roses but also trees and well-manicured grass.

Upon entering the inner part of the Rose Graveyard, Liu Xing spotted Chen Wenbin and Yoh Asakura. Most tourists typically stayed in the outer part of the Graveyard, not wanting to disturb those paying respects inside, as the inner part was filled with various tombstones and not particularly attractive for sightseeing.

Chen Wenbin and Yoh Asakura were different. One had nothing in hand, while the other carried a slender cylindrical object that looked like a katana. Their appearance didn't fit in with the usual visitors, and it was clear they were not there for the same reasons.

However, Liu Xing soon realized that his efforts were in vain. While he could still sense the Ghoul watching him, he couldn't pinpoint its exact location. Frustrated, he had no choice but to give up.

At that moment, Chen Wenbin, who had finished his conversation with the elderly man, approached Liu Xing and Yin En, looking somewhat surprised. He asked, "Liu Xing, Yin En, what brings you here?"

Yin En shrugged and proceeded to inform Chen Wenbin and Yoh Asakura about the recent events at the Godless Shrine.

"I see. With you two here, we've gained another strong ally. However, it's also clear that Dark Willow Gang has a formidable expert on their side. It's only a matter of time before they discover Mian Gu Lu," Chen Wenbin said, sounding somewhat discouraged.

Yin En shook his head and replied, "I'm prepared for that. Tomorrow, I plan to meet with Sawada Yinyin's father and finalize the marriage proposal. Then, I'll find a way to pressure Dark Willow Gang or bring Mian Gu Lu into Sawada Family's sphere of influence. Hopefully, that will deter Dark Willow Gang from acting recklessly."

Chen Wenbin let out a sigh and said with a forced tone, "Let's hope so."

Liu Xing now understood that "Chen Wenbin" had a somewhat pessimistic personality, although it could also be due to his low SAN value.

"By the way, Chen Wenbin, did you find anything in the Rose Graveyard today?" Liu Xing inquired.

Chen Wenbin nodded and explained, "At the beginning, Yoh Asakura and I had some bad luck. We encountered traffic on the way here, which delayed us by half an hour. Then, when we arrived, we got stuck behind a funeral procession for over half an hour before entering the Rose Graveyard."

"But our luck turned around afterward. We met one of the Graveyard's caretakers, who shared valuable information with us. For instance, Half-Beasts are known to frequent the Rose Graveyard at night, appearing in various corners. The caretaker even claimed to have seen a Half-Beast digging up corpses with its claws and carrying them deep into the Rose Graveyard," Chen Wenbin revealed.
