Death is the end of all things, the truth of the universe, and a terrible ending that cannot be avoided from ants to the stars deep in the sky. And just as everything will begin, everything will also end.
The darkness shrouded in the depths of the fog dissipated due to the dim light of the oil lamp. Lu Li, who had arrived in a strange environment, suddenly fell heavily. His body lost coordination and a mischievous inversion of perception appeared on his body. He raised his left hand and turned it into his right hand.
Lift his right leg and turn it into his left leg. Wait until Lu Li
Reluctantly adapting to this chaos, he climbed up from the "floor" and found that the ceiling was under his feet, the floor was above his head, and there were tables and chairs, doors, windows, and stairs. He walked around the ceiling fan and came to the window, and saw an upside-down house hanging upside down.
The dome of the rock wall, the depth of the abyss below cannot be seen.
Lu Li already knew where this was: a filthy sewer, one of the forbidden areas, a forgotten land. He wondered if the first level was a swamp, the second level was a filthy sewer, and the third level would be a weird one.
In the dense forest? Lu Li tried to call the merchant and the evil parchment that stopped responding when he came here. Only the merchant appeared on the "ceiling" and could not communicate. The only thing Lu Li could understand in the whole house was a note on the table:
[Congratulations on reaching the second level]
[I hope you can still read the note, otherwise you may miss this tip]
[What you have to do is very simple. Stand in front of the window and see the exit of the filthy sewer in the distance? Once you get there, you will enter the third level]
[Remember, there will be no rewards for eliminating other players, this is a cooperative level]
At this time, there was a noise from upstairs at his feet. Lu Li followed the guidance of the sound to the second floor and heard the sound of broken glass coming from the room at the end of the corridor. The evil neighbor who smashed the glass was standing on the ceiling like Lu Li, but
They were in the same situation and couldn't understand each other's language at all - the neighbor then made an amazing move. He slit his own throat with a dagger like crazy, but
There was no picture of blood spraying everywhere. He disappeared like a touched bubble, as if death had freed him. The evil parchment was whispering at this time to trick Lu Li into committing suicide, making Lu Li believe it. It seemed more than a coincidence,
The potion prepared by Vice Principal Chris for the exorcist contained an eternal sleep pill. Then, after searching the house without any results, Lu Li took the eternal sleep pill out of trust.
…
The dim light of the oil lamp disturbed the misty darkness. Lu Li stood on the ceiling of the upside-down house - or the upside-down Lu Li stood on the ceiling. The upside-down world made Lu Li recognize this place: a filthy sewer in one of the forbidden areas. He walked around his feet.
The ceiling fan came to the window, turning the world upside down and making the house below me look like an isolated island in the vast deep sea. The evil parchment did not respond, and the arriving merchants could not communicate. Only the note on the table had legible words written on it.
When he finished reading the note, Lu Li heard the sound of rolling coming from the second floor at his feet. When he came upstairs and walked into the room at the end, he saw a figure in front of the neighbor's window. He seemed to be waiting for Lu Li, impatiently.
Lu Li was reminded that "death can be restored", and then slit his neck with a dagger. The meditative exorcist searched the house, and then took the "Eternal Sleep Pill" under the spell of the evil parchment.
…
The darkness deep in the mist was like a gauze curtain, lifted by the dim light of an oil lamp. Lu Li stood in an old and neglected living room. The floor was covered with thick dust, the paper on the table had unreadable words written on it, and the ceiling was covered with messy footprints.
Lu Li stepped on the dining table and observed the footprints - the footprints were so familiar, but the exorcist had no memory or impression of this place. The evil parchment was silent, and the merchant told Lu Li that this was a corrupt sewer.
Lu Li followed the extended footprints upstairs. The footprints on the ceiling were at the end of the corridor. He wandered around the rooms with scattered stones on the floor and broken glass. He checked every room again, and finally confirmed his suspicion from the businessman: Lu Li had done it twice
I have been here, stood on the ceiling - those traces were indeed left by Lu Li himself. This is the third time now. As for whether there will be a fourth time, Lu Li cannot be sure.
He recognized that all he could do at this moment was to write down a note, put it next to the note that might also be left for him next time, and then walked onto the empty long street blown by the wind. In a building not far away
In the house with the wooden sign, Lu Li met another group of people. These players from various camps formed alliances with each other. Some of them were as normal as Lu Li, and some were standing on the ceiling - just like Lu Li before.
Lu Li learned from their mouths that every time he dies, he will be assimilated into the rotten sewers: as the death progresses, he loses the memory of the outside world, and then gradually becomes a part of the rotten sewers, just like the people who once lived here. This team is united with each other and possesses
The team of exorcists could have fled here, but the fallen who had already fallen into corruption and died countless times appeared with a biting chill, killing everyone present including the exorcists.
…
The dim light of the oil lamp dissipated the darkness deep in the fog. Lu Li stood in the old, dusty living room. On the dining table with shoe marks, there was a note left by himself claiming to be the third time. Then, Lu Li searched and left the note
, and left this place that may have been searched for four
Houses all over the place, arriving at a wooden house that may have been visited before, encountering a pair of twins that may have been met before and the figure tied up by them, learning information from their mouths that may have been known before, and finally in the
Died from the biting cold he encountered.
…
The surging dark mist illuminated the dim light of the oil lamp, and the outline of the exorcist appeared for the sixth time in the living room of the old house. All the papers were spread out in front of his eyes - they pieced together the truth about the rotten sewer: some invisible force
Pushing Lu Li forward. Not only this forbidden land, but also the tournament, the Midnight City, and the faintly whispering evil spirits.
Evil parchment. Together, they told Lu Li: Death is the only chance to get close to the cursed title in the foul sewer. But to pick that tempting fruit, you need not only trust, but also a will that is so rational that it is almost terrifying——
What could make someone who is not in despair, who is not a pessimist, choose to end his life?
The parchment usurped all the credit of Midnight City, only making Lu Li think that everything was its guidance. After ending his life again and again, Lu Li finally felt the call from somewhere in the filthy sewers and came to the empty and silent streets.
.Today’s exorcists are just like those degenerates who roam the forbidden land,
Perhaps even more superior - because they were immersed in useless killing and no one could help them escape. The call from the dark led Lu Li to a dark and towering church. Here, he met the real resident of this place, Wuming.
A crown appeared above his head, celebrating Lu Li becoming one of them——
Then, the emerging mist shrouded Lu Li, and amid the endless roars, the new residents of the filthy sewers were taken away like evil parchment taking away the credit of Midnight City.
