"The Sunken Place", which smells of ink, is gently closed.
"Mom, did Mr. Wilkin really go to the Desolate Land?"
There was only room for a bed and a cabinet in the small bedroom. After listening to the bedtime story, little Amy asked curiously.
"I don't know, but I think so, because the exorcist has returned." My mother put the book on the cabinet and said gently.
"Then he's dead, right? It's really sad..."
"No, Amy, you should be happy for him." The mother tucked up the quilt for her child that might leak air: "He feels the same way, because in the last stage of his life he found the meaning of life."
"What's the point?"
"Meaning is the road that is revealed under your feet when you are confused and helpless; meaning is the light that makes you wait with firm belief when you fall into despair; meaning is when you get old and look back on the past, you will not waste your time doing nothing."

"My purpose is to protect mom and dad!"
Little Amy said things that all children would say.
"Of course, we are waiting for Amy to grow up and protect us." The same goes for my mother.
When the child fell asleep, the mother gently placed the fluorite lamp next to the book, and the dim light from the living room and window made the bedroom light comfortable, and then walked out of the room.
"It's too early for you to tell little Amy." Her husband whispered to her in the living room.
"This is not the time when we were children, Ender. Do you still remember our neighbor Mann and his daughter before we left the Weiner Refuge Area? That girl who was only twelve years old was married to a boy one year younger than her. ...Amy should understand the meaning of life earlier."
"Everything is terrible, right..." Ender sighed.
"You have sighed many times." The wife came to her husband's chair and gently rubbed his forehead: "Even more than when we were in the Weiner Refuge Area. What happened?"
His wife also asked many times, and Ender never said anything. However, after the exorcist returned to the land of light, the pressure became unbearable for him and he needed to share it with his family: "I'm worried about what we are experiencing now, all the dreams. Such beautiful things will be dispersed by the wind like smoke from a burned-out fire..."
The specialness of the land of light is like a bonfire in a dark jungle. You can see the light of the fire even from a long distance away. No one knows how many coveting beings are lurking in the darkness that cannot be illuminated around them. No one knows whether they will cross the gap between light and darkness. dividing line.
And whether the campfire itself might just be a vision of dying generosity.
"All we can do is do what needs to be done..." Mina didn't want her husband to think too much. Although for a former bard, emotional thoughts were almost his instinct.
"At the foot of the back of the world, walks the exorcist with black hair and black eyes. The thorns blocking the road lie in front of him, melting into his brilliance..." Ander's murmur echoed in the living room.
"What are you doing?"
"prayer."
"Mr. Exorcist doesn't like what we do."
"But this is what we can only do for Mr. Exorcist..."
"No...Ender, what we can really do for Mr. Exorcist is right at our feet..."
Mina leaned on her husband's shoulder, and dawn was approaching outside the window.
…
Deep in the holes in the clouds, the starry sky is revealed without any cover, and the vast galaxy brings magnificence and... indescribable fear.
Shacks and mansions guard Agate Lake, which surrounds the center of the island, under the Annie tree with its young branches stretched out on the soil.
Lu Li talked with the distorted figure of Elena.
"This is sad... He thought... he was promoting your deeds..." the twisted figure said.
They're talking about "The Sunken Land," a hit from the Badlands to the Venerable Sanctuary to the Land of Light, and its author, Clarence Wilkin.
This book will soon be as well-known as other exorcist stories and become a spiritual pillar for people who are struggling and desperate.
It's just that they won't know that the twisted figure has noticed the conspiracy lingering from "The Sunken Land".
When unknown stories spread widely, the original plans of the dead souls will no longer be a secret.
Whether that was Parchment's final counterattack or something else, Lu Li didn't know.
Businessman Anthony appeared at this time and brought back a reply from Mateus: The mayor has ordered all publishing houses to stop printing "The Sunken Land", but he has not banned people from talking about it. He doesn't want to do that as it would be too obvious. He said Lu Li
Wouldn't have imagined this story in "Weiner Never Frozen"
"Port" was so popular that Clarence Wilkin's roommate, Old Eugene, became a celebrity and was invited by the rich and nobles to tell Wilkin's stories all day long. Even the guards who "sympathized" with Wilkin that night were attracted by the nobles.
The reason why he was hired as a personal guard was because of Lu Li.
In addition, Mateus's reply contained the merchant's trading records and his additional advice.
Lu Li asked for the trade records. He needed to know which ones were true and which ones were false during the more than three months he entered the illusion. Facts have proved that the ancient stone seals and the merchants given by the weird collectors are the only two real things besides knowledge.
The New Year's gift sent to hell by the businessman Anthony in the fantasy world did not really exist, but it was given to a fake businessman by Lu Li, who then gave it to a real businessman, and the real businessman took it to hell.
Mateus' additional advice concerns the 341 inhabitants of the Land of Light.
There are currently 341 residents, a quarter of the population originates from the Church of the Twisted and Vine and their increasing number of believers, and the remaining 258 people are refugees brought back by Andrea from the ruins of Vina Freeze Port four times.
Three months later, only these people were slower than expected, but Andrea couldn't go faster. Although the direct route between the Land of Light and the ruins of the ice-free port of Weiner only took three days, there were always dangers along the way. Weird lairs, wandering and plundering
Eaters, migratory groups, and more importantly: Andrea has no effective means to fight against the weirdness. It can only bypass any weirdness it senses in the vast deep sea to prevent the humans on the ship from being smelled.
Mateus asked Lu Li to be wary of them and not to treat them as "subjects", at least not for the time being. He used the offensive phrase "they are almost two species from us" to describe the people who escaped from the Weiner Refuge Zone.
What makes Mateus so extreme is not only that there are murderers, cultists, and those who ignore the law who left the refuge area, but also because the weirdness has interrupted the backbone of human civilization. Human beings who have lost civilization have returned to the era of eating hair and drinking blood, and have even changed.
Bad: They experience life, reproduction, and death, but many people don't understand what these words mean.
Children without care will live like wild beasts on the dark surface; children in the church will dedicate their bodies and minds to their Lord; only children in the gathering place will continue the civilization originated from their parents.
Lu Li looked at the hole in the sky above old Belfast. The starry sky was gradually becoming pale and dim.
